“… The Shift in Human Nature

You're starting to see integrity change. Awareness recalibrates integrity, and the Human Being who would sit there and take advantage of another Human Being in an old energy would never do it in a new energy. The reason? It will become intuitive, so this is a shift in Human Nature as well, for in the past you have assumed that people take advantage of people first and integrity comes later. That's just ordinary Human nature.

In the past, Human nature expressed within governments worked like this: If you were stronger than the other one, you simply conquered them. If you were strong, it was an invitation to conquer. If you were weak, it was an invitation to be conquered. No one even thought about it. It was the way of things. The bigger you could have your armies, the better they would do when you sent them out to conquer. That's not how you think today. Did you notice?

Any country that thinks this way today will not survive, for humanity has discovered that the world goes far better by putting things together instead of tearing them apart. The new energy puts the weak and strong together in ways that make sense and that have integrity. Take a look at what happened to some of the businesses in this great land (USA). Up to 30 years ago, when you started realizing some of them didn't have integrity, you eliminated them. What happened to the tobacco companies when you realized they were knowingly addicting your children? Today, they still sell their products to less-aware countries, but that will also change.

What did you do a few years ago when you realized that your bankers were actually selling you homes that they knew you couldn't pay for later? They were walking away, smiling greedily, not thinking about the heartbreak that was to follow when a life's dream would be lost. Dear American, you are in a recession. However, this is like when you prune a tree and cut back the branches. When the tree grows back, you've got control and the branches will grow bigger and stronger than they were before, without the greed factor. Then, if you don't like the way it grows back, you'll prune it again! I tell you this because awareness is now in control of big money. It's right before your eyes, what you're doing. But fear often rules. …”

Dutch State Sued Over ‘Excessive Force’ Against 1977 Moluccan Train Hijackers

Jakarta. Arguing that government troops used “an excessive amount” of deadly force to end a train hijacking by armed Dutch-Moluccan activists in the Netherlands in 1977, relatives and a survivor are holding the Dutch state liable for damages, their lawyers announced on Wednesday.

The state also “covered up essential information concerning the events that took place in the train, and false information was provided [to suvivors, relatives of victims and the Dutch parliament] about the scope of force that was deployed,” Amsterdam-based law firm Prakken d’Oliveira said in a press release.

Republic of South Maluku

Nine young Moluccan activists in the morning of May 23, 1977, hijacked a train near the village De Punt, in northern Drenthe province. Forty people were released and the remaining 45 passengers and the train’s driver and conductor were taken hostage.

The hijackers demanded the Dutch government support the establishment of a Republic of South Maluku (RMS) on Indonesian territory.

The activists were descendents of people brought to the Netherlands after the Indonesian war of independence, in 1950. The Moluccan men had served in the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army (KNIL), which was disbanded after the war, and were promised that their stay in the Netherlands would only be temporary and that they would be allowed to return to Maluku. But that never happened.

The 1966 execution — after years of imprisonment — of the president of the self-proclaimed RMS, Chris Soumokil, led to radicalization of members of the Moluccan community in the Netherlands. Many had grown increasingly frustrated with the lack of official Dutch support for their cause, and some among the younger generation decided that peaceful activism was no longer an option.

In 1975, a first train was hijacked at Wijster, also in the north of the country, in conjunction with a hostage-taking at the Indonesian consulate in Amsterdam. The consulate raid ended with the Moluccans surrendering, just like the train hijacking, but the latter not before three hostages were executed and their bodies thrown out of the train.

‘Controlled force’

On June 11, 1977, a special unit of the Netherlands Marine Corps stormed the train at De Punt, during which six hostage takers and two hostages were killed.

Justice Minister Dries van Agt at the time said that “controlled force” was used, but official documents from the late 1970s, which have only recently become available, contradict that remark.

Dutch media recently also reported, based on a statement of a former police officer who had been stationed close to De Punt at the time of the hijacking, that Van Agt had basically ordered the execution of at least two of the hijackers. But Van Agt, who served as prime minister of the Netherlands from December 1977 until November 1982, has denied that he ordered the use of excessive force.

According to the lawyers for the six claimants, including now-64-year-old surviving hijacker Junus Ririmasse, hollow point bullets were used during the raid, and the six hijackers who were killed suffered a combined number of 144 gunshot wounds.

The other claimants are relatives of five hijackers — including a woman – who were killed, some apparently executed while no longer able to resist: Hans Papilaja, Hansina Uktolseja, Ronnie Lumalessil, Dominggus Rumamory and Matheus Tuny.

Claimant Ririmasse was hit by ten bullets and spent three months in hospital recovering.

Sealed coffins

After the end of hijacking, according to a letter sent to Dutch Justice Minister Ivo Opstelten by lawyers Liesbeth Zegveld and Brechtje Vossenberg on Wednesday, relatives were not allowed to see the remains of the killed hijackers, which were handed over in sealed coffins.

The lawyers also accuse the Dutch state of falsifying information, as officials told the widow of one of the killed hostages — Rien van Baarsel — that her husband had died after being shot once by a hijacker, while in fact the man was hit by six bullets, all fired by the Marines.
