Extensive Dutroux-related accusations by Belgium MP

History of the Dutroux case, included RA allegations against the Belgium King, in an article by Alexandra Cohen called <a href="http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a3b2003ac2eec.htm" target="top">"Some Post-Christian Realities".</a> Originally published in an anti-abortion magazine called The Human Life Review. I know, I know. This business makes for very strange bedfellows. But it's difficult getting a cogent insiders view of the Belgium situation that's actually written in English, and Cohen's article goes into detail I haven't found elsewhere. Very interesting.

<blockquote>Quote:<hr>Today, almost twelve years later, the key to the mystery seems to have been found. A scrutiny of the gang’s victims could be linked to the “Pink Ballets.” The apparently random killings of the Crazy Brabant Killers had been a cover-up for eliminating dangerous witnesses of sex parties (probably with minors-orgies among consenting adults are not illegal under Belgian law)<hr></blockquote> From the link above and referring to the same killings Jeff spoke of a few postings back. McGowan's thesis is that "serial killers" are often hitmen with lots of extra killings tossed in to confuse investigators.

when this was written there may still have been some hope that there would be an investigation, but we are stuck with the 'lone predator' scam, and thousands of pages of testimony never examined.

very difficult to read above the incessant jingling of Cohen's agendas, but the one thought that stuck was that the 'Dutroux', and 'Ramsey' cases may be inferred to be an extension of the 'strategy of tension'. Albert's known involvement is just part of the game. ------- The French publishers of a book about paedophelia in Belgium have been ordered to insert a formal denial by the Belgian King, Albert II, of some of the allegations it contains. King Albert and the Belgian Government went to court in Paris because they said the book, The Paedophile Dossier, contained a series of unfounded libels. The book, by two French journalists, is a sensationalist account of the case of Marc Dutroux, the alleged sex offender and killer whose discovery five years ago caused such trauma in Belgium and the country's political establishment. Apart from general accusations of government cover-ups, the authors personally connect the name of King Albert with the scandal, saying that as crown prince he attended parties at which paedophiles were present. Royal fury The royal palace in Brussels was furious at the book's publication. In court, the king's lawyers said the book was founded on rumours, insinuations and lies and they demanded the inclusion of a rebuttal. The judge agreed and now every copy of the book must contain an addendum indicating the king's protests at the attack on his personal reputation. The judge did not, however, uphold a parallel plea from the Belgian Government complaining about allegations concerning its handling of the affair. She said it was a political matter which did not come under the court's jurisdiction. <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/1609411.stm">news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/1609411.stm</a> and - ------- The Belgian Government has threatened legal action against one of France's leading publishers for releasing a book linking King Albert II to a paedophilia scandal. The book, which reproduces what it says are extracts of an official investigation of the King, has been interpreted by the Belgian media as an attempt to topple the monarchy. A statement issued by the office of the Prime Minister, Guy Verhofstadt, described it as "an unacceptable assault on the dignity of our nation and its people". The book, published by Flammarion under the title Paedophile Dossier - the Scandal of the Dutroux Case, suggests that Albert attended sex parties in the 1970s and 1980s where children were abused. The royal palace has issued an unprecedented condemnation denouncing the "grotesque accusations" against the King, who came to the throne in 1993. <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/1550250.stm">news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/1550250.stm</a> ------ "An unacceptable assault on the dignity of our nation and its people" Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt on the book ------ King Leopold II (April 9, 1835 – December 17, 1909), succeeded his father, Leopold I of Belgium, to the Belgian throne in 1865 as Leopold II, King of the Belgians, and remained king until his death. He was the brother of Charlotte, Empress of Mexico and cousin to Queen Victoria. Outside of Belgium, he is chiefly remembered as the founder and sole owner of the Congo Free State, a private project undertaken by the King to extract rubber and ivory, which relied on slavery and is held responsible for the deaths of millions of Africans. After a number of unsuccessful schemes for colonies in Africa or Asia, in 1876 he organized a private holding company disguised as an international scientific and philanthropic association, which he called the International African Society. In 1879, under the auspices of the holding company, he hired the famous explorer Henry Morton Stanley to establish a colony in the Congo region. Much diplomatic maneuvering resulted in the Berlin Conference of 1884–85, at which representatives of thirteen European countries and the United States recognized Leopold as sovereign of most of the area he and Stanley had laid claim to. On February 5, 1885, the result was the Congo Free State (later the Belgian Congo, then Zaire, and now the Democratic Republic of Congo), an area 76 times larger than Belgium, which Leopold was free to rule as a personal domain. Reports of outrageous exploitation and widespread human rights abuses (including enslavement and mutilation of the native population), especially in the rubber industry, led to an international protest movement in the early 1900s. Forced labor was extorted from the natives. Estimates of the death toll range from 5 to 15 million (for further detail, see Congo Free State and here) and many historians consider the atrocities to have constituted a genocide. Finally, in 1908, the Belgian parliament compelled the King to cede the Congo Free State to Belgium. Historians of the period tend to take a very dim view of Leopold, due to the mass killings and human rights abuses that took place in the Congo: one British historian has said that he "was an Attila in modern dress, and it would have been better for the world if he had never been born." Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria-Hungary once described his fellow ruler as a "thoroughly bad man." <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Leopold_II_of_Belgium">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kin...of_Belgium</a> Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=rain@rigorousintuition>rain</A> at: 8/24/06 8:36 am
