Lady Justice is Just...a Call Girl

On 11 June, 2024, a Dutch court sentenced Gideon van Meijeren to two hundred hours of public service, convertible to three months in jail. On 28 and 29 January, a year and a half later, the case will be brought before an Appeals Court in The Hague, the self-styled “City of International Peace and Justice.”

Mr. Van Meijeren is a member of the Dutch parliament for the FvD (Forum for Democracy) party, regarded by the Dutch elite and the MSM as far right. However, this qualification is of course utterly exaggerated. FvD is the only political party in the country that upholds the public interest, since it is based on traditional values and common sense. It rejects wokeism, climate lunacy and LGBTQRSTUVWYYZ-nonsense, while the other parties in the country are WEF-shills.

For what terrible offense was Gideon van Meijeren convicted?

For incitement to violence during a speech he made in 2022, addressing farmers who were protesting against the government’s “climate policy.” According to new cabinet decrees intended to reduce carbon dioxide and nitrogen emissions in agriculture and cattle farming, farmers were being driven into insolvency and bankruptcy. Many would be forced to sell the farms where they had been born and where their families had been living for generations. In other words, government policy was fatal for farming, and thus also for national food production.

Initial government policy goals, as stated by the cabinet then led by Mark Rutte (NATO’s current Gensec), were rather moderate. However the EU “Green” Commissar, Dutch Social Democrat Frans Timmermans, insisted on a more aggressive “climate policy.” Through NGO’s he was subsidizing with tax money taken from EU citizens, he tried to push for stronger measures, after having made backroom deals with the Dutch cabinet. Those NGO’s then initiated legal procedures against the Dutch government in Dutch courts, which duly issued the necessary verdicts calling for stricter nitrogen and carbon dioxide emission standards.

This entire set-up was chosen by the Rutte government in order to be able to say it was just carrying out court orders and thus to avoid public criticism against itself.

The only criticism was coming from the farmers and the FvD party.

In his speech to the farmers, Van Meijeren said: “protest and resistance must always be peaceful and non-violent. I strongly believe it and I say this from my deepest conviction. I believe that non-violent resistance is the most effective and ultimately the most formidable weapon we have against our opponents. In that regard I have also made it very clear that non-violent resistance can still be tough, massive and combative, and so it should be. (...) All of this is absolutely necessary because if not, they will never start moving. If not, they will not move an inch. (...) They need to feel how deep our frustration is, how deep our pain and grief. (...) It is also important to realize that it is not always healthy when in a democracy there is a taboo on violence. The state itself uses violence, even a lot of it whenever it deems necessary. If you are about to be expropriated but refuse to comply, you can be sure that in the end vans will arrive with men carrying batons and wearing helmets, and they will remove you from your land by force. The point of view I am now expressing is entirely compatible with democracy, because for example the United States has the Second Amendment as a safeguard, to ensure that citizens, if absolutely necessary, are capable of defending themselves. And do not forget: even the Dutch Criminal Code makes an exception for the use of violence. Article 141 of the Criminal Code provides that violence is allowed if needed to protect one’s own or someone else’s physical safety, sexual integrity, or property against unlawful attack.”

It was for saying this in public that a member of parliament was sentenced to three months in jail. Only a complete idiot would consider that incitement to violence.

Yet since Gideon van Meijeren is one of the most outspoken and pugnacious FvD members, enjoying an immense popularity among the younger public, his speech caused a lot of concern among the elites. He is an experienced lawyer himself, and has always been very careful in his public statements, but his popularity, eloquence and youthful vigor have made him the target of a sinister lawfare operation.

What can be concluded from this?

The essential and most impartial conclusion is that the judicial system in the Netherlands is not independent. As a matter of fact, it has long been rotten to the core. The state prosecuting office takes its orders from the government and works hand in glove with the judges. There are eleven district courts, four courts of appeal and one supreme court, staffed by 2,600 full-time professional judges as well as hundreds of part time judges, recruited among the 20,000 licensed professional lawyers in the country. Since 2009, more than half of all the professional judges are women! Some of these have no qualms about combing their blond hair, or putting on make-up while the court is in session. Many others, like modern women, wear publicly visible tattoos (like prostitutes of yore), and gold ankle chains under their formal gowns. Although there are no hard data on the political allegiance of judges, it is common knowledge (never refuted) that most are associated with the D’66 party, considered to be “left-liberal.”

Although the elite, state television and the local press outlets never cease to affirm that the Dutch judicial system is independent and exemplary, in fact it is a branch of government made up of kangaroo courts. In other words, there is no real justice in the Netherlands. Sure, there is “Dutch Justice,” but since the adjective “Dutch” cancels the noun that follows it, like “Dutch courage,” it is not actually justice.

It would be an error to assume that the Netherlands is unique in this respect. While the MSM in the EU likes to point out that justice is non-existent in Russia, Africa, Asia and Latin America, essentially anywhere that is not part of the US Empire, this is utterly mendacious.

Lawfare against anyone who dares challenge the state is common all over Europe. The victims include politicians, journalists, comedians, activists, physicians and others. The case against Julian Assange in Sweden and England is famous. Since then there have been cases against politician Dries van Langenhove in Belgium, politician Marine Le Pen and comedian Dieudonné Mbala Mbala in France, activist Rainer Fuellmich and doctor Sukharit Bhakdi in Germany, against the independent news outlet AUF1 in Austria, presidential candidate Călin Georgescu in Romania, and against hundreds of others all over the EU and England. Lawfare is indeed firmly entrenched.

In the US, the situation seems hardly better, as American judges never hesitate to put on trial foreigners who have not committed a single offense on US soil such as Panama’s Noriega and Venezuela’s Maduro. Perhaps it is not so bad after all in the US, because it is juries that decide if a defendant is guilty or innocent, not judges, like in continental Europe, where Roman-inspired codified law reigns supreme.

However, there is only one major conclusion to be drawn from all of the above:

Lady Justice is just a call girl.

And an expensive one at that, since she only takes on exclusive state customers.
