Anti-Wilders Judge pressure defense witness

The painting "Eminence grise" by François Leclerc du Tremblay

Trust of the Dutch public in judges

An opinion poll shows that only a third of the Dutch public trusts (Dutch) the independence of the Court which is conducting a trial against Geert Wilders. Fully a third DISTRUSTS the Court in the case against Geert Wilders. The trust in judges is generally low too, but not as low as in the Wilder trial. Forty-five percent of those polled generally trusts judges, 20 percent do not. Perhaps those who trust the Amsterdam Court are naive. Read the article and judge for yourself.

Old friends keep in touch

Now one of the witnesses called up by the defense, Orientalist Hans Jansen, reveals on the Hoeiboei blog (Dutch) that on May 3 2010 he was invited by an old friend Bertus Hendriks. Hendriks is a leftist journalist and an activist for the Palestinian cause. Mr. Hendriks invited him for a supper at which "other friends" would be present. They wanted to speak about the Wilders trial and Islam. Later in that week, Professor Jansen was to be heard as an expert-witness by the Court of Amsterdam.

The omens

Professor Hans Jansen writes that he turned up early for the supper, a habit "born out of uncertainty". If this reference to fear is not ominious enough Hans Jansen wrote earlier that his friend Hendriks has called him "a representant of a generation whose time is over". Both Jansen and Hendriks are from 1942.

Eminences grises make their appearance

The professor then meets one of the other guests. Justice or Raadsheer Tom Schalken. Justice Schalken is one of the members of the council chamber or raadskamer which ordered the Public Prosecutors (OM) Meester Velleman and Meester Van Roesel to put Geert Wilders on trial for hate speech, discrimination and all that malarky. The justice starts a conversation about Islam. Professor Jansen replies by asking whether he may be arrested for what he says and demands a guarantee he will not get a run in with the law, now that people can be tried and punished for voicing opinions on Islam. They came to the agreement that the professor would not be arrested for what he was going to say that evening. As the other guests arrived several of them turned out to be magistrates as well. All these powers in the land were members of Labour and the Greens or PvdA and GroenLinks as we know them.

Mr. Jansen keeps the rest of the conversation confidential.

The article by Professor Jansen elaborates that if speech is criminalized persuation and thusly politics by persuation becomes difficult.

Influence peddling

But the most damning aspect of the episode is that the judges that ordered the trial, tried to influence the trial by influencing one of the witnesses.

Diminishing trust in The Netherlands

Yesterday, Mr. Earl Cromer left a comment in which he said amongst other things:

It seems in many Dutch, French and British cities the natives are integrating into the violent gang cultures of the immigrants - I suppose in many respects they must act like them to survive in areas where they are the minority, and normal society cannot help them.

When I was a kid I read a book about two Dutch chaps travelling through the Middle East in a Chevrolet. The book described a voyage made in the early 70ies. One of the things which struck me was the following. There was a rule a Middle Eastern traveller had to abide by and that was getting away as soon as possible in case of an accident. This is because the local population would always turn on the foreigner assuming that there are no accidents, but that every damage or injury done is an act of intentional hostility.

Importing low-trust populations

Today this kind of attitude has been imported to Europe. E.g. ambulance staff is attacked by Middle Easterners extraction, when an ambulance is deemed slow to arrive. Middle Easterners are sure that the slow response is hostility of the ambulance drivers against them. They do not need proof for that. Middle Easterners are certainly savages in this respect.

Dragging the higher level down

But there are indications that today community relations are getting so bad that ethnic Dutchmen are also assuming that any damaging act by a Middle Easterner is a hostile act.

In the paper version of this week's Elsevier columnist Bart-Jan Spruyt reacted to the interview with policeman Ad Visser, who mentioned that ethnic Dutchmen are becoming more and more threatening towards Middle Easterners. Mr. Spruyt related how he had a dinner with an unnamed Police Chief a few months ago and that the Police Chief mentioned that in some city a Morroccans had a car accident on a cross roads overlooked by high rise buildings. As the shocked Morroccan came out of his car he and other Moroccans were attacked by Dutchment armed with baseball bats from the high rises. The Dutchmen acted on the assumption "something bad is happening to a Dutchman, it is done by a Morroccan, it must be an hostile act".

Lowering of standards is no problem for liberals

This shows that Mr. Cromer's observation is right. Europe is under the rule of liberalism. Under the rule of liberalism equality is the highest value, the value all other values are subordinated to. Under this value it is not possible to discriminate against Middle Easterners wanting to immigrate and colonize Europe. But Middle Easterners are UNEQUAL to Westerners. They are low-trust savages, who think nothing of lying, cheating and the use of violence to further their interests and that of their communities. The liberal elite is unable to elevate large numbers of immigrants to the cultural level to the level of high-trust of Western-Europeans.

However they are managing to create a level field between ethnic Dutchmen and Middle Easterners. By mistreating the ethnic Dutchmen for decades and never granting them justice they have so eroded the trust of ethnic Dutchmen in society that theyir behaviour is now dragged down to the level of savagery that is common in the Middle East.

The joys of equality

I do think that the liberals are happy this way. After all their highest value is equality. If they can point to misbehaving ethnic Dutchmen, the cause of preserving equality as the higest value is served. And that is what they really care about. They do not care about The Netherlands, not about Europe. The treason lobby does not care how much havoc and destruction it wreaks on Western Civilization.

ANYTHING for equality.

We have seen the end result in the formerly communist world. Serious Conservatives have to look at themselves and to wonder if equality is not really their highest value as well.

A civilized order of society

A comprehensive civilized order is only possible if we view people as unequal. There are differences between people from different civilizations. Some of these differences are irreconcilable. Therefore mass immigration of non-europeans to Europe ought to be out of the question under any circumstance.

The Netherlands: high trust society becomes low trust society

The Netherlands: a typical Western European nation

Like other Western European Nations, The Netherlands was always a high trust society. A society where citizens trusted the police, the judiciary. Their churches, the political establishment. Their instititutions. And a Chinese proverb has it that:

Trust comes on foot and leaves on a horse.

Better not waste that trust then. But that is exactly what happened in The Netherlands. As a result of a deluge of unassimilable African and Muslim immigrants trust is eroded on all sides.

The effect of immigration on trust

The Harvard professor Robert D. Putnam published research in 2007 that communities with high immigration scored the lowest not only in trusting the newcomers, but also showed a drop in kith and kin trust:

In the presence of [ethnic] diversity, we hunker down. We act like turtles. The effect of diversity is worse than had been imagined. And it’s not just that we don’t trust people who are not like us. In diverse communities, we don’t trust people who do look like us.

The executive Branch: policemen's trust eroded

A recent poll showed that Dutch policemen (Dutch) have stopped trusting their own police leadership and the political establishment. A poll amongst 8,500 policemen showed that two thirds of police men do not trust the police leadership. 91 percent thought politicians had no inkling of what the policeman's beat looks like. A large majority of the police do not feel supported by the public.

Absolutely devastating findings about the lack of trust in the executive branch.

The judiciary: same old story

And what about the Courts? In June President of the High Court Mr. Geert Cortjens (Dutch) complained that politicians and the media have started to criticize verdicts of Penal Courts. The High Judge opinioned that politicians and media ought to show respect for judges and their verdicts. And that politicians were not even aware that the Courts are one of the three branches of government.

The criticism against judges shows the absense of trust between politicians and media and the Justice system.

The downfall of The Netherlands

In 30 years of mass immigration the Dutch elite has managed to implement a policy of mass immigration, which has severed ties amongst the native population of the Netherlands and severely damaged its institutions. Both the police and the judiciary have lost the trust of the public and have themselves become isolated.

It may well take a century for the injuries that have been inflicted to be healed IF that is even possible, provided that immigration is stopped.
