Political murder? Dutch police investigates police...

Henk Ruyssenaars - Foreign correspondent | 14.11.2006 17:54 | Globalisation | Repression | Social Struggles | World

None of all the cell phone pictures and video recordings asked for by the police 'investigating' a professional killing in Holland could be used, they said. Which according to the people that made the pictures and handed over the video films, was not true. 3 weeks later (!) the police published a bad drawing...

FPF-The Netherlands, Nijmegen, Nov. 14th 2006 - Mr. Floris Tas, who is a lecturer (law) at the Police Academy in Apeldoorn, would have been fired by the State if he last August 7 had taken part in a TV program concerning the liquidation of journalist/researcher Louis Sévèke. The murder case is still smoldering within the massmedia's silence, and many think the professional killer will not be found until a whistle blower starts talking. It happened 300 meters from where this is written, and one year ago on 15 November 2005, in the city of Nijmegen in the eastern part of the country.*

Sévèke, who gave free legal advise to many - including victims of police violence and squatters - during his twenty years of research, also wrote a book (Homerus) on the Dutch secret services and their 'special forces'. Shortly before his death he published an article in one of the main propaganda papers (NRC) urging the Dutch 'state' to be more 'open' about it's own terror. Two weeks later he was gunned down on a street corner in the center of Nijmegen, with two bullets in his head.

In the article Sévèke referred among other cases to the fact that the always with the CIA/Mossad collaborating Dutch 'secret service' AIVD, had given real hand grenades to it's own 'Hofstad terror group'. Like in the US, the UK and many other countries where the US junta rules, also in Holland the fear is whipped up and kept alive and 'functional' by home made terror by the State and it's special groups. Making their own 'terrorists' web sites like in the US, where they can claim anything...

A BUMP IN THE ROAD ON THE WAY TO THE BANK

In this clumsy case, other Dutch police officers had not been informed about all the 'false flag' operations by the AIVD and their multinational managers, and two police officers were severely wounded by the exploding grenades when they stormed the fake 'terror' group's apartment. That was what Sévèke's last article was about. Needless to say the assassin has not been caught. And needless to say that many think it was an 'inside job'. Getting rid of a bump in the road on the way to the bank.

Sources within the local police and the investigating 'Bamboo' team confirm that two heads of police, their commanding officers, left the city's police force prematurely. The same happens in the case of the (on paper) 'boss of the police', mayor Guusje ter Horst. She is leaving earlier after publicity was used to stop her career: the media reported that she had been stopped and fined by her own police force because of drunken driving, last July. The negative information was kept secret until needed. The local police force however has problems with this whole scene and scheming, because they do not want to be blamed for this killing which happened on their turf and watch. "But I'll get in trouble myself, if I openly would speak about this." one of the police sources said.

Asked by Sévèke's family, which on paper has the right to have mr. Tas as an external expert to check and follow the investigation, the request was turned down by the Ministry of 'justice' already last March. Sévèke's family now - a year later - still tries to use the Dutch 'Freedom of Information Act' (WOB) to get at the files about the slaying. And see the pictures and videos of the possible murderer. Pictures from the Srebrenica massacre during the Balkan war, in which thousands of people were killed and in which Dutch NATO 'peace keepers' were involved - were destroyed by the MID, the Dutch military intelligence service, 'by accident.' And nobody was to blame.

THE POLICE HAS BEEN INVESTIGATING ITSELF

Probably in an attempt to stop further rumors, three days ago, Saturday Nov. 11th, the local paper 'De Gelderlander' published that the police in Nijmegen also had been investigated itself. Reporting that: ''during the investigation some police officers have been checked. This happened in the first months of the murder investigation. The officers have by the detectives been asked about their experiences with Sévèke in the line of their duty. The information given by the police officers - and in one case an alibi - has been checked." sources told the paper, "It is not known if those investigations within their own circles have brought a solution of the murder case any closer."

WELL, AND AS ANYBODY CAN SEE: THERE ARE NO RESULTS ANYWHERE.

Most people know it's a cover up, although a very clumsy one. To give just one Keystone Cop example: a murder team can not start looking for DNA evidence after the city's cleaning service has scrubbed the crime scene 'Spic & Span' clean earlier that day. But they did. This whole deadly farce is a very expensive one too, even if the original 'Bamboo' team of detectives has shrunk to 18. They have filmed in 3-D and reconstructed, but nobody who thinks logically believes one word of what the official police spokesmen and other so called 'officials' say. Now claiming that during the past year they recorded fifty-three-thousand-nine-hundred (53.900) hours of work for the investigation. It's compared to thirty-eight man-years of work. So where's the result? This whole grim charade has not turned up anything at all. Apart from the growing conviction that it's an inside job.

Sévèke, in his book Homerus, took the whole police intelligence service (PID) apart. Something very much needed but the PID got mad of course. One of the PID people blown out of the water at that time, now has a management position within another fishy specialized police department: the Central Division Operational Cases. It covers 'special detective services'. When asked about the matter, he doesn't want to react, saying that "an investigation is held in the Sévèke murder case, so it wouldn't be decent to talk about it."

NOTHING IS SAID ABOUT THE STAFF OR THOSE WHO LEFT. AND WHY

Police spokesman Ben van Ingen Schenau is certain the police force has been 'professional' enough to keep the murder investigation 'clean', even if their own policemen were checked. Nothing is said about the staff or those who left. And why. According to Dr. H. Sackers of the local Radboud University, lecturing law like mr. Tas: "Guaranteeing the integrity of the police force in this murder investigation is 'horribly difficult'. The totally untrustworthy and 'managers' compliant 'ministry of justice' ('just us') - didn't even offer a comment. They have a long time ago forgotten that they are 'civil servants', our personal that is supposed to serve us. And not screw us as they do now. But, they'll pay for this too.

The Bamboo team in Nijmegen reports they have asked for assistance from colleagues in England, Germany, Belgium and Dubai, but that seems to be another one of many smoke screens. Like all the photos and video films - and they really have a lot - which all could not be used again? With every fishy (state) murder, it's the bloody same.* Or are they still ''on the shelf to be analyzed later.'', as one detective said last year? Even if the police, the day after the murder, on Wednesday afternoon, said they already were looking at the the photos and video material?*

Than what for ....'s sake has come out of the interrogation of 500 so called witnesses? Nothing!

What was found in the twenty-five-thousand (25.000) emails and IP-addresses, illegally confiscated from Sévèke's family and friends running a special web site for Louis Sévèke? Nothing!

What's the explanation by the local DA worth, saying the investigation 'has not ground to a halt'? Nothing!

And what kind of picture or description of the killer - was it a midget, someone average or a giant - did the people get from the investigating police in the next THREE weeks after the murder? Nothing!

Many pray for and hope that the creatures which are guilty of this liquidation too - using bullets to stop words - soon will be named by a whistle blower and punished. Because this whole faked police investigation will turn up nothing!

The killers guilt however, will last as long as Louis Sévèke is dead.

They all have blood dripping from their hands.

And will slip on it.
