About two weeks ago, I increasingly started to get hassled.
- First there was a wacko nut job. I posted videos about it. Will write it up here later.
- Then there were people who said that they were handhaving (enforcement). They claimed that their names were Tessa and Léon.
- Then on Wednesday, a bunch of police officers showed up who first said that the previous folks had not been enforcement but GGD but later did refer to them as “handhaving”.
The main thing that Wednesday’s police officers made clear is that the only thing that I can count on in the Netherlands is getting bullied and terrorised by police officers and similar critters, and that’s because I dare criticise public policy and failing approaches to issues in society created by public policy/political decisions (and the associated human rights violations).
I’ve read – article in Parool – that there’s a guy here in Amsterdam who has been doing something similar and they did what they could to shut him up too.
I now – while writing this post – discover that there is a Wikipedia page about him.
His name is Frank van der Linde. https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_van_der_Linde
What I am reading on that Wikipedia page has also been my experience in the Netherlands since my return from the UK, where I am still officially based.
If you dare to be critical of public policy or astonishingly amateur approaches taken by authorities, municipal civil servants and police officers claim that you’re mentally ill and should be locked up in a psychiatric hospital.
It’s what Dutch police said about him and what Dutch police in Amsterdam and civil servants in a tiny town called Purmerend have been saying about me too. Amsterdam wijkagent Chris claimed that I had been asking the public to take all their guns to Amsterdam’s mayor Femke Halsema. He called in a psychiatric nurse to undermine me.
The civil servants in Purmerend had me swatted by GGD and next tried to declare me non compos mentis after I dared want to talk about some of their approaches. This is why I went to the city of Maastricht to renew my passport and officially had to leave the Netherlands. I couldn’t renew my passport in Purmerend.
They declared Van der Linde an extremist, on top of that.
It’s disgusting.
Welcome to the Netherlands. Welcome to Amsterdam.
Back to Frank van der Linde.
“Voor OneWorld schreef hij van februari 2013 tot februari 2016 over extreemrechts, racisme, politiegeweld, wapenexport, ongezond en onduurzaam voedsel, onduurzame kleding, tax injustice, mass surveillance en ander onrecht.”
Translation: For OneWorld (from February 2013 to February 2016), he wrote about the far right, racism, police violence, arms exports, unhealthy and unsustainable food, unsustainable clothing, tax injustice, mass surveillance, and other forms of injustice.
This is what made HIM homeless.
Frank van der Linde became homeless after they (Amsterdam’s mayor Femke Halsema, likely) forced him to leave his home after he started receiving threats, just like other people and businesses that are crime targets (for example attacks with explosives, which is totally normal in the Netherlands these days) are often forced to leave their homes by the Dutch authorities. (Yes, read that again.)
I thought I was probably exaggerating a little with my impression that I am being targeted because I dare criticise notably Amsterdam’s public policy and approaches. Fycking hell. I wasn’t at all.This is a fycking Orwellian police state now. Wtf?!
I thought that the fact that I was constantly seeing police vehicles seemingly following me, driving around me, was probably just a coincidence.Then police showed up, addressed me by a decades old nickname but claimed to have been flagged down by a jogger about a mentally ill woman… “Verwarde vrouw”. A stranger.
Now the police vehicles have stopped constantly driving past me.
One of the Dutch police officers demanded my Dutch correspondence address. Why? Why didn’t he also ask for my UK address?(Because they want access to my postal mail in the Netherlands. They can’t claim access to my postal mail in the UK. What else? They looked at my passport for AGES!!! Ages. The first response when they looked at my pasport was “you’re an illegal”. They contradicted that again later.)
The same guy later also said that I was very demanding. ⬅️⬅️⬅️ He must have been referring to my criticisms of public policy and bumbling approaches.What else?
I have not been making any demands. None.
This wacko guy who showed up the other day to say that he was going to be back and set fire, did he set fire to this Parknest building for the purpose of framing ME? I gotta ask this question now. Can’t afford not to.
In spite of everything that I’ve experienced… Holy cow… I think I am still far too trusting and gullible.
You know what? That’s a GOOD thing. 🙃😌 I’ve got an immensely strong core. Maybe it means that I’m incorruptible to some or that I can not be broken to others.

PS
The Purmerend civil servant (Roos Boersma) who went into a neighbouring apartment with a colleague so that they could climb onto my balcony via the neighbours’ had previously sent me a long message in super secure Zivver once just to whine about me.
She used to work at a collection agency, with her civil servant colleague Bodine Timp.
Bodine Timp’s colleague Annica van Rijn was the one who had me swatted. This was after I dared address Annica and Bodine’s amateur approach to very new Dutch legislation (that they had also failed to inform me about).
