Our guest, the chairman of “Martijn” and member of the church community - not an Ipce
member – has told us that the association, Martijn, is well known in the Netherlands as a source
of information:
“We are regularly asked for classes, information stands, politicians and political groups.”
”Since the elections, we have had a right-wing parliament and government in the Netherlands.
The founder of the new political party, the late Pim Fortuyn, has said: “Listen to those people
(paedophiles); that’s far more safe than to persecute them”, but his followers haven’t followed
him regarding this issue. They now argue for more punishment on moral issues.”
”Yes, giving information to classes is more difficult nowadays, due to resistance from Muslim
youths and adults.”
A sharp contrast: the USA
Members and guests from the USA were astonished to hear what is still possible in the
Netherlands. In California, for example, about 1000 people are behind bars – not for
punishment, but for ‘treatment’ – in fact for brainwashing. They have been declared “not able
to control their behavior”. This declaration is a decision often reached by scarcely educated
‘experts’ on very doubtful and unscientific grounds.
Severe laws have been enacted in the US as a result of precipitate political action after certain
events. Thus, since September 11, 2001, laws have been made that use the word “terrorist”. The
meaning of the word has been broadened and those laws constructed so as to apply to a far
wider range of activities than the original event warranted. People have accepted this
uncritically. It’s an Orwellian world.
Similarly in the UK, an anti-terrorist law is being used against many more people to make
arrests without accusation and travelling restrictions.
In English-speaking countries and culture, the word ‘pedophile’ is synonymous with ‘rapist’ or
‘predator’. An encounter with a pedophile is presented as a worst-case scenario for a child –
whilst most children suffer and even die because of the guns and cars of their parents; and, if a
child has an experience with whatever kind of sexuality, they suffer at the hands of their
‘therapists’.
In sharp contrast with the Dutch “Martijn”, USA’s NAMBLA has many problems: prosecution,
Internet service providers, lack of money and more. NAMBLA is seen as the new devil in a
simplistic way of thinking like ‘the Indians are bad, the cowboys are good’.
