Fame.
How the Dutch denied me a girlfriend because they made sure everybody gossiped about me for the past 25 years. I think all this attention was needed by the Dutch government to contain American influences originating from the local air base. That the Americans wanted me to be the US President and that the Dutch didn’t allow me to be bigger than the Dutch crown prince. So after the Americans left the local base that the Dutch wanted to take my ‘fame’ away from me, they went to great lengths to make me bald and made sure that my baldness is my most prominent feature. That on Dutch radio they try to associate me with poop to create unpleasant thoughts in the minds of Dutch radio listeners when they think of me. I haven’t viewed any Dutch television since 2003 so I wouldn’t have a clue as to how they refer to me on Dutch television, I think they convey that I am not wealthy so not desirable and bald so not seriously loveable. I have become so unattractive that being on television won’t make me popular anymore. I sure want to leave the Netherlands for good but I am being locked up. I really no longer care for The Netherlands for what they have done to me. I don’t consider myself to be Dutch, I am from a country which no longer exists.

The Voice Of Russia World Service.
On The Voice of Russia World Service last weekend was a feature about Russian poet Alexander Pushkin. How this poet collected lots of books and loved to wonder about by himself through the Russian country side and his hometown. That he loved the Russian people and was a good friend. Shortwave is often hard to follow because reception often jams, so I missed some details. There also was a feature about how in Russia they plan to build some 200 airship Zeppelins. For low cost heavy weight air freight transportation and surveillance. That was also interesting. How German Chancellor Angela Merkel had an 11 hour meeting in a palace near Berlin with Russian President Dmitri Medvedev with whom she spoke in Russian, can you imagine this? Russian is a really difficult language to learn, it is so nice how former DDR citizens were interested in Russian culture too. Some 4 years ago I was walking in downtown Amersfoort and came across a guy in his early twenties who wore a red training jacket with the letters ‘CCCP’ on it. I should have photographed this guy! Most Russians do not want to return to the Soviet Union, because in the Soviet Union a few party officials took everything they wanted from the community, which was stealing from the ordinary citizens, which is not fair. Listen to Russian radio! It is fun, these people are good. There are so many interesting stories Russian people can tell.

Getting Rid Of Radio Listeners.
How Dutch radio these days is no fun at all, because these people are so convinced they have the best music and best personalities that they totally lost contact with their audience. Since some 5 years there is an emphasis on Dutch product on Dutch radio, that Dutch radio listeners are being forced to appreciate lots of bands and singers in a genre which didn’t exist 10 years ago. The Netherlands isn’t my home, so I mainly listen to Australian radio via the Internet. But that Australian radio recently is playing annoying songs during the night programming when I listen. I also listen regularly to Canadian radio and that these stations play hits Dutch radio doesn’t have but which have come to mean a lot to me. Dutch classic rock is a laugh, they play the same old songs over and over and think how great they are. If these Dutch listeners would have an opportunity to listen to Canadian radio they would no longer accept Dutch Classic Rock radio’s narrow minded music selection. Dutch radio is really, really bad, horrible, appalling, and so on.

Dutch Culture.
About 10 years ago, certain Dutch people with power over the media realized that there was no such thing as Dutch local music, in the Dutch language. So they acted. Then we got lots of Dutch bands and artists who sang in Dutch, at first it was mainly Dutch pop music, but then crossed over to more – what they call in Germany – a Schlager type of music. For instance a singer with real instruments singing a song in Dutch about Dutch women. In Central Holland we got BingoFM, which is a radio station which only broadcasts Dutch Schlager music. Something people of my generation hadn’t dreamt possible in the 1980s. People are confronted with these new artists everywhere, that this resulted in a whole new Dutch culture. For The Netherlands this would be a good thing, but I don’t identify myself with this country. How there are world famous bands that we don’t get to hear on Dutch radio because Dutch radio is very selective in what they broadcast for their Dutch listeners. Certain bands don’t get an opportunity to be played on Dutch radio, where other artists do. This is basically the influence of the local music director. But that I noticed how these four Dutch national radio stations mainly all opt for the same bands. So if the biggest Dutch station decided not to broadcast a band, then the other stations won’t play them either. So there is no competition between Dutch radio stations. That I switch off Dutch radio because I am being confronted with artists I don’t appreciate, a problem I don’t have with Australian or Canadian radio. Sometimes I am missing 1980s music, but that on the Internet there are several streams dedicated to 80s music, which play the exact songs I want to hear. Still I am saddened by the fact that I am no longer enjoying Dutch radio. That they make me feel like an outcast, most of the time.

About The Netherlands.
How I feel so strongly that The Netherlands are no longer my home, because these people were all over me, and that this resulted in me no longer being able to live a ‘normal’ life. That I had become public property. This doesn’t happen by itself. These days I am no longer able to generate my own thoughts and often do things I shouldn’t – things that could hurt me – but that I cannot stop myself because this has to do with ‘the courage of others’. I cannot make my own decisions, because I need other people to make my decisions for me, on my own brain can you imagine? That to myself I have become like a third person. And that I vaguely remember when this started, it was an attempt at self defense, but then the Dutch government stepped in and decided I wasn’t allowed to defend myself. I cannot view Dutch television, I cannot listen to Dutch radio, so I don’t! I am often viewing German television and listen to Australian and Canadian radio. Still I cannot imagine that I am the only one who is turned off by Dutch television and radio. German television is a challenge, that it takes years to learn to understand the German language, even though the German news is not that difficult to understand. Australian radio is about good music, something they know nothing about in The Netherlands. Dutch radio is stuck in a very limited selection of songs you already heard so many times that it becomes boring. There must be five Dutch national radio stations which are all trying to do the same thing, so there are no options listening to Dutch radio. This is sad. Sometimes I wonder, if I feel so in my right place with Australian radio, wouldn’t I feel more at home Down Under for real? That would make sense! I wish I had my own Dutch radio station, I would do things completely differently. But of course there are only a few people who control this business here. If I were free I would leave, I really would.

Let Me Go! Set Me Free!
For years now I feel how my consciousness isn’t my own, that there are people who control my thinking process and are currently erasing my memory. Surely there must be people who know what is really wrong with me. That the shrinks who treated me over the years must have realized I wasn’t a regular mental patient. I am like a zombie, that my soul is dead but my body is alive. Maybe some country developed this as a biological weapon to make God live on earth, that I am in the afterlife which is needed to be able to stop all wars. That terrorists aren’t criminals but people who would start a war. John Lennon sings: “Join the Human race.” And that there is no way for me to do so. How the people who control me are stealing my time, that they need me as a zombie and that this will cost years without me being able to live my own life. I hate The Netherlands so badly, I really can’t stay here. How there is no Dutch radio station I can listen to, especially when I cannot sleep at night and that this is all deliberate. For about 6 months I no longer listen to Dutch radio but to an Internet radio instead, that I thought I would miss Dutch radio but that now I feel happy to be able to totally forget about Dutch radio. I am like a horse with a rider, and that this person controls my consciousness so if this rider is Dutch, then the Dutch government should be able to set me free…

With Ferocity.
How the Dutch are throwing all they have at me. Radio is on my case all the time. Dutch television – which I don’t view – is constantly indoctrinating its Dutch viewers by conveying information about my psyche and that it is evil. That I can no longer listen to Dutch radio anymore, so I listen to Australian and Canadian radio. But that Australia would not provide sanctuary for me if for instance the French government would ask them not to do so. While Canadian radio couldn’t care less about how European governments feel about how I feel about the Dutch media and society. To tell you the truth there is this song by Billy Joel which is on my mind a lot lately, it has a line going like: “Before we all lived here in Florida, before the Mafia took over Mexico.” That I am wondering if I would feel at home in Florida. That I know several people who used to live in Europe who are living in Florida these days. But that of course the truth is that the Dutch deliberately made me need a pacemaker so that I would no longer be physically able to make it to Florida or Australia for that matter. How I remember how President Bush Sr was talking one time about how he was considering some situation like “Tearing out my heart and throwing it away.” I remember wondering if he wasn’t exaggerating. That of course President Bush knows who is responsible for my heart condition. But that the Dutch government is never going to claim responsibility because I am their property, they can do with me what they want. How I suggested – unaware that I did – that I made 8,000 Euro per month, with my pay grade. So the Dutch fired back suggesting they would not grant me more than 1,400 Euro per month. So I am not too eager to want to study because these people never will let me to begin with. And knowing that the Dutch aren’t willing to pay me half the amount the Americans would pay me, makes me realize that I am not interested in a Dutch job. So the Dutch make my life impossible so that I will remain unfit for work and having to take medication. All this is politically motivated by jealousy. If Dutch radio makes me depressed and American radio makes me feel at home, then the choice isn’t that difficult for me to decide that I am going to listen to English language radio, even though the Dutch try to get a handle on me to force me to listen to Dutch radio – torture.

Full Circle.
I remember it well, it was January of 1998, I missed my American military friends, I was in my room listening to Boston on CD, when I started to feel dizzy. I thought it was the flue, it turned out to be a heart rhythm irregularity, two months later I needed a pacemaker. Today, 12 years later I am still missing my American military friends, and again I am listening to Boston on CD. So in a way I have come full circle. The reason for this is that the Dutch deny me my life as I would want it. That the reason why I am listening to the rock band Boston isn’t because I care so much for the Americans, even though I do, but because I no longer feel at home in The Netherlands.

Dutch Radio.
I mostly listen to Internet radio, but I don’t always have access to the Internet, so then I have to listen to FM radio. The night shows on Dutch radio from Saturday into Sunday are a crying shame! How Australian TripleJ has a very much fun night show in the weekend, while Dutch radio plays music non stop – not the type of music I would want to hear – or a talk show which is rarely interesting. Yesterday night I tried to tune into AFN Europe and Virgin 1215 on AM and that was fun but hard to listen to. I feel Dutch radio deliberately isn’t any fun, that they want to indoctrinate people to like their lousy Dutch songs or go out to downtown bars where people don’t listen to the radio anyway. I really feel alienated from The Netherlands, but that this is only because The Netherlands suck, that they deliberately manipulate their people in such a way that they will do what the government wants. I mean when you only get to hear dance music or Dutch language songs that you will start to appreciate it. Surely Dutch radio could be fun if they tried, but they are so stuck in their way of doing things – thinking how great they are – that the Dutch don’t realize the possibilities of radio. And I have to listen to this? No Way!

Christmas 2009.
I don’t view hardly any Dutch television, but I do realize that these people are conducting a major attack on me. These days of the year people are in a certain mood and will be more willing to listen to people’s opinion on television. How the Queen in her Christmas message spoke about how online relationships are fake and insincere, while my friends on facebook mean a lot to me, and Internet radio is my main source for entertainment! Because Dutch radio is forcing its listeners into a certain mindset and that I don’t want to be forced to be in a certain kind of way. Dutch Radio538 is broadcasting Christmas music nonstop, as if these people have got any feelings regarding Christmas! The Netherlands are pathetic!
