BADAL, OR THE SUICIDE OF A REFORMED HOUSENIGGER

by Egmond Codfried

Anil Ramdas (1958-2012) was a great and prolific Surinam journalist, writer, publicist and TV presenter in the Netherlands. He was also a director of De Balie, where important social debates are staged. He was considered an important and accomplished Surinam Indian intellectual who interviewed many famous writers derived from the subcontinent, and was the VS.Naipaul specialist of The Netherlands. Ramdas knew all about the history of Indian Cinema. But he recently took his own life, on his birthday, which was a sad shock to me. Badal is an interesting autobiographic work, and a quintessential, extravagant Surinam novel, virtuously written, full of colour and music. With subtle humour, set at international locations, and filled with famous people.

The reports are conflicting; some write that Ramdas insisted Badal was not autobiographical. I would suggest that until a biography is written we go by autobiographical in order to benefit from his life and thinking. Ramdas saw a new Holocaust coming against the allochtones in The Netherlands, even against himself who had went all out to be just like the white Dutch. His conversion must have been between 2009 and 2011, between ‘Paramaribo, de vrolijkste stad in de jungle’ (2009) and ‘Badal’ because the first book has no criticism of The Netherland or The Dutch. It would have seemed more fair to me if next to the criticism of Surinam, he would have acknowledge that Surinam was plundered, and was fighting its way out of post-colonial hell. He assumed the usual superior tone of the Dutch we know so well, of people who hate us, and do not want us to prosper, who block different partnerships and new financial partners for Surinam. Ramdas wrote to highlight our weaknesses and failures, to satisfy the Dutch, and to be popular among them. For this he qualifies as a housenigger, and his sad demise should be a warning to other houseniggers.

This is reinforced by his own admission. He was as a man who sold his soul to the devil, and realised his mistake, but could not redeem himself due to personal demons. Even Badal in itself shows Ramdas as a writer playing both sides, not really coming clean, and withholding any criticism of the Dutch elite. The attacks Surinamese ministers and the president, but not a word about the incompetent Dutch government, shows a strange bias. Are they above criticism, are they gods? As any good Dutch writer, he self-censures himself, by only finding fault with the little people, and Ramdas singled out the poor and uneducated Dutch he labelled as ‘white trash.’ It’s telling that in his youth he belonged to the group of Surinam Hindustanis who were so insanely racist against Blacks, that they even opposed independence, and set fire to valuable historical buildings, terrorising the whole nation. Strange to think that both India and Indonesia fought for their independence, and while the Indians and Indonesian in Suriname are strongly identified with their countries of origin, this does not seem to include their pride of independence and prosperity. So as much as I’m hurt by his dead, and in view of his important adding to the Surinam literature canon, in spite of himself; his mentality should be denounced as a housenigger, or ‘colonialist’ as he calls it. His unadulterated hatred of Blacks was what made him attractive to the Dutch, who take great pains to divide the allochtones among themselves.

I early on decided not to read his work or watch his programs as I did not like his tone of voice when he discussed Surinam and Surinamese in the same dismissive and superior terms as the Dutch always do. I considered him a Surinam Hindustani housenigger. Ramdas confesses in ‘Badal’ to adopting the sweeping anti-Muslim views of his white newspaper colleagues, in regard to the Khomeini Fatwa against Salman Rushdy, in order to be accepted. Although he privately held a different, and more benevolent, Surinam derived view of Muslims. Little did I know that this was what also broke him up, as he came to realise his mistake. He finally saw The Netherlands through the eyes of the anti-colonial activists, and thus the same people he at the start of his stellar rise to fame would openly ridicule. Which had offended me so much. Ramdas realised that all his efforts to belong, to be accepted by his white colleagues failed, when Dutch politics recently took another, stronger anti-allochtonen turn. Suddenly it was normal for journalist and intellectuals to speak with great disdain and loathing about coloured and Muslim citizens, as the great threat to the Dutch security, and civilisation.

He immediately recognized the mood as akin to what went on before the last Holocaust (1933-1945). First he had attacked his white colleague’s by arguing that Dutch literature ignores allochtones. And he singled out for criticism one popular writer who did have a middle class and educated Black woman in his novel, but depicted her in a demeaning way: no better then a Black whore. This let to a big to do, bringing him national fame, but had whites feeling themselves attacked and (as usually) ‘undeservedly’ stereotyped as racist. He next planned an essay, to top the first one, about ‘White Trash,’ arguing the crisis in Holland as a break down in civility, and a lost of culture. He saw the people who voted for the anti-foreigner parties as ‘white trash.’ Causing whites to completely turn away from him. I feel he read a lot off and about Thomas Mann. Perhaps Ramdas was to be the Thomas Mann of Surinam literature, if he had lived.

But he also seem to have realised that the educated, and cultured Dutch elite was equally behind these parties and their ideas. This seems to have caused a total breakdown in relations with the Dutch, and his discomfiture. The Dutch cannot be criticised as they regard themselves as perfection personified. But at the background, and steadily getting mixed with his professional career was his terrible addiction to alcohol. His substance abuse by his own admission went total out of control and he became a public spectacle. He was fired and lost his prestigious position as correspondent in India for the NRC Handelsblad, a major Dutch newspaper, as he battled a major health crisis. A position any journalist would give his left testicle for. Even as he gained a new chance as the De Balie director he could not regain control of his drinking and he was fired for mismanagement. He further horrified his Surinam fans by admitting on TV to take medicine for his anxieties, which drove him to drink. Next ‘Badal,’ his major, assumed autobiographical novel came out, and according to reports this did not establish him as a major Dutch novelist as he expected, which fact, next to the deterioration of his family live, led to his suicide. His death was eerily foretold in this novel, which left me heartbroken, and angry at the Dutch.

For all its pretensions of honesty, I’m still missing a true analysis of the role of our stealing Dutch elite: who are deflecting attention to allochtones. The elite is always spared by cowardly Dutch writers, who are eager so to join the elite. Every failure has to be presented as a personal failure, and cases like Ramdas are falsely used to proof that the coloureds can rise to any position. Yet we Surinamese should understand that The Dutch consistently through history only like to deal with sell-outs. This is important, as we will look into the coming Holocaust and how members and leaders of the victimised groups are employed to deceive and murder their own kind. Also missing is an insider analyses why all Dutch newspapers, and news programs sound the same? Why, for example, we were not told that parliamentarian Ayan Hirsi Ali, was an illegal Somali woman: while she was also raising hell? We were informed that Dutch Somali’s ‘mysteriously’ fled the Netherlands to Britain, but not because of their group persecution suffered at the hands of then Deputy-Minister Mark Rutte, our present crypto-sexual Prime-Minister; when they tried to inform the media about her illegal status. I ‘m still reeling from the admission of Badal of ridiculing the anti-Pieterbaas activists, because Surinam Hindustanis think of themselves as Caucasians, and cling to the fallacy of purity of race; no matter how black in looks, and feel closer to their white Caucasian brethren, then to the Black Surinamese.

As a Surinam Black his books are useful to explain Surinam Hindustanis to me. My whole life I was one of these Black Surinamese Ramdas writes about who took great interest in Indians. Weekly visiting De Paarl and Jasodra to admire the antics of Rajesh Khanna or Amitabh Bachhan. Joining a Cautal group to celebrate Holi. But I was astounded to read in ‘Badal’ that Hindustanis do not eat soup, which they also consider something of the Blacks. Poor Indians. I myself was raised on rice in one soup or another and would kill for a bowl of Cassava Soup with smoked fish or Grated Plantain Soup with plenty of coconut milk. Yet, I remember a Hindustani acquaintance hesitating when I offered him this refined Plaintain balls soup, made by my mother. I had served him beef already, so I assumed he was well versed with the Black kitchen, once this beef-taboo was out of the way. Then most talkative Hindustani taxi driver, a most pleasant raconteur and chronicler of Surinam life, who diverted me on the one-hour jungle way drive to the airport, informed me that Hindustanis frequented Black Winti witchdoctors because of their powerful spell. Earlier a Hindustani lady acquaintance told me a tale of an attempt at sexual molest by such a doctor. Seemingly a hazard that comes with the territory, and is just like these Catholic priests raping those young boys. The taxi-driver talked a great deal about Brazilian prostitutes, how they walk around naked and like to sleep together in a bundle; so I assume Hindustanis do have illicit sex. Yet according to Ramdas they look with horror at Blacks, doing the sexual things they do. I must assume that while Blacks are very open and bragging about Black anything, Indians are secretive and thus quite hypocritical. Maintaining a family oriented facade, and a god-fearing front, while in secret matching Blacks in all their sinfulness. But I’m not complaining; things are improving in Surinam and there is vice-versa integration and race-mixing too. I do hate the infighting.

I was amazed how Ramdas questioning look at the Dutch matched mine. But he is quite a character and did not benefit from an anti-colonial upbringing. Some arguied that Suriname was not ready for independence: but then no country ever is. While he tells us how he set out with a group to put fire to colonial government buildings, but got cold feet and got out the car, I was rejoicing in Surinam’s independence in 1975. Yet we both left in 1980, he a year older then me. On my arrival I early on recognised that the Dutch were very different indeed from the benevolent image presented to us, in person, in writing, and via the Dutch Newsletter we were shown before every movie in our cinemas, called Polygoon Journaal. In their own environment hey sounded bloodthirsty and backward. Soon one man tried to frighten me by allowing his large dog to softly maul my arm, thinking I would flee screaming, as other foreigners are apt to do. And being steeped in traditions and stories around slavery, I always resisted being turned into a housenigger. This made me an outsider, yet I followed everything from the first ring. But at great cost to my emerging public success. Like my refusal to hand over the rights to my slavery drama Maria Susanna Du Plessis (1739-1795), as it was suddenly last minute decided that my rewrites with the dramaturgy would not do, and persons unknown to me should be given carte blanche to make the play. I was further instructed not to visit rehearsals, but await the premiere to see what had become of my historical play. The play was already sold to 24 theatres and public were buying tickets already. I refused, sensing this was planned from the beginning, to force my hand and delete my anti-colonialist views. And housenigger Blacks were involved in this horrible charade too. So I missed out at my one shot to possible greater success and fame. But mind you, I’m not complaining.

Instead I took to novel writing and scientific research, already getting a taste when I researched this historical play. By chance I found a portrait of Maria Jacoba van Goor (1687-1737) a rich regent class woman who looked classical African. She was Isabelle de Charrière’s (Baroness Belle van Zuylen) granny, yet was missing from her biographies. By looking for the grandmother I stumbled on a major eurocentric secret, namely that Blue blood is Black blood (1100-1848). The highest Dutch and European nobility was described as brown and black of complexion, while some also had classical African looks. Those were considered pure of blood. De Charrière moved in The Netherlands, and later in Swiss, in a circle of persons connected with Surinam. Baroness Maasdam was a granddaughter of Governor Cornelis van Aerssen, and was described by her cousin James Boswell as ‘Mrs. Maasdam black as chimney. Her husband, the baron of old nobility, he called ‘Chimney sweeper.’ De Charrière wrote a poem about this black baron: ‘About his brown black complexion, (1774) and asserted in a letter that his family, of the highest nobility, was famous for being ‘swarthy.’ In Swiss she met Pierre-Alexander Du Peyrou, an absent Surinam plantation owner, connected to the Van Sandick family, and a friend and benefactor of J.J. Rousseau. He was actually the first to publish Rousseau’s work, with the money earned by Surinam slaves. Interestingly Boswell describes his master Rousseau as: ‘A genteel Black man in an Armenian coat,’ while Rousseau writes about Du Peyrou’s ‘dark brown complexion.’ Van Goor’s mother was a niece of Rembrandt, who often depicts himself as Black. Slot zuylen was visited by royalty and Willem van Oranje (1533-1584) was described as ‘More brown then white’ and ‘Bruyn van verve ende baerbe.’(Beresteyn 1941) some prints show strong Classical African facial traits and a dark brown colour.

De Charrière married and settled in Pays de Vaud, a region in Swiss where the people are brown, and she earlier had self-described in a penportrait for Boswell as: ‘She does not have the white hands, she knows this, and even jokes about it, but skin colour is no joking matter.’ This was towards the French Revolution when human races were invented and the nobility lost its power, and the dark complexion had stood for nobility and Black Superiority. Whites were the serfs, outcast and until 1848 were considered shoe leather. Whites were routinely condemned to life flaying, and there was a human leather industry. Whites as we know them today were only emancipated in 1848. From this year, which also marks a major change in the Dutch constitution stripping nobles from their ‘privileges?’ The image of the Moor; used by the Ancien Regime to symbolise blue blood: was added to the St. Nicolas feast, and became Pieterbaas. This yearly feast, celebrated during an atmosphere of national hysteria, should be understood as a racist initiation, to make young children aware of their whiteness. Racism should be understood as a liberation ideology, for whites did not want to be ruled by Blacks ever again. This fear still runs deep, and whites will not even acknowledge black portraits of their former rulers, as the concept of a Black king is too upsetting to them. Even now. But as Blacks have overcome the degradation of slavery, and every white Dutch is perfectly safe in Surinam, this cannot be said about the position of Blacks and others in The Netherlands, and the rest of the World. That’s a reason for me to call for The Second Enlightenment to end White Supremacy, and the Era of Revisionism (1848-1941).

This knowledge is missing in the writings of Anil Ramdas. Though I have sent some papers and emails to De Balie, never receiving an acknowledgement. His ideas are like those of the Dutch, accepting ‘we don’t know’ as scientific answers about the many Moors in European art, literature, language or heraldry. When I observe people like Ramdas who struggle to be accepted as intellectuals I always hear Glenn Close in ‘Liaisons Dangereuse’ ridiculing Chevalier Darceny as: ‘Like a true intellectual he is intensely stupid’ and she cautions another ‘to make a concerted effort not to sound like the latest novel.’ Much of the trivia he pushes as knowledge left me yawning, and wondering why he does not offer something useful. Ramdas has Badal call himself a ‘charlatan,’ as he early conceded that he played a role to be accepted by whites.

But even anti-colonialism is in some ways co-opted by the status quo. And only Blacks love Blacks, most of the time. Thus only Blacks will rejoice in the discovery of Black Kings. The eurocentrist worldview is based on a great lie, whitening all of European history by the use of whitened portraits, and their grossly fake history was fixed in 1848. Any amendment might lead to a collapse, so no attempt is made to re-examine European history. Thus any Black trying to readdress Dutch history is a threat; he is dabbling with state secrets, as state racism keeps white supremacy in place. So on 27 September 2011 I was slapped with a travel ban, by the building society no less as my sudden slave master, forced to sign an ‘agreement’ in front of a judge during a law suit (Kort Geding). If I want to travel for more then three weeks, I need to give the renter before two weeks notice, and he may object. This has to do with the housing shortage in the richest county in the world, and puzzlingly; my travelling seems to add to this problem. Only god knows what comes next, but troublemakers in The Netherlands usually die of strange car accidents. While I’m seeking redress and annihilation of this ban, I’m accosted by the AIVD (Dutch Secret Police) for a forced ‘enquete,’ about my views on ‘the living conditions in Holland.’ Even if I decline, I need to phone them. I consider myself a person who is politically prosecuted.

I tell my fans that whites are bad news. They are bad news because they are fucked up. They are fucked up because their ancestors were used as shoe leather. Flaying alive was a normal punishment and this fear and hatred has settled itself somehow as part of the white psyche. The essence of whiteness is the hatred of Blacks. Whites hate and fear Blacks, especially the educated ones, because they were ruled and oppressed, while civilised and christianised, by Blacks. This I have concluded after noticing how uniformly whites, worldwide, respond with ridicule, hatred and senseless denial when I present them with my evidence. I came to define their behaviour as mental aphasia induced by great fear. Many Dutch reminded me of the slave masters of old, as if threatening me with a whipping for defiling their sacred superior history. But the whole of Dutch history is a great lie, hiding that the Ancien Regime was Black. Isabelle de Charrière, Belle van Zuylen, did not consider herself part of the Graauw, the Canaille, the Mean People, as white serfs were called; so it’s silly to talk about her in terms of ‘We, the Dutch.’

Next their fantasy version of the Holocaust (1933-1945) leaves us Surinamese blind to the threat. Not only Jews were murdered, but also Blacks, Roma, Gays, East Europeans, the handicapped, the elderly and Jehovah’s Witness’. I suspect that the Polish nobility remained black and brown and irritated Hitler. As he had all the Rhineland bastards, off spring of Senegalese troops, sterilized and murdered. Hitler had many Jews in his army. The Netherlands showed with 90% the greatest killing among its Jewry, more then nazi-Germany and twice the number for Belgium. Again the lying Dutch scientist claim not to know; while the facts show that the Dutch, in great numbers, helped the nazi enemy to kill their fellow Jewish citizens. One should read De kleine Sjoa by I.Lipschits, how the surviving Dutch jews were maltreated when they wanted their goods and children back; to understand my point. Allochtonen are now placed in the same position as the European Jews by the aid of the public media, as enemies of Europe; and the next holocaust is prepared right under our noses. Allochtonen who acts as houseniggers like Ramdas used to do, should be viewed as the ‘Joodse Raad’ (1941-1943) who loyally executed nazi orders to select Jews for gassing in Germany. Telling Jews not to resist, not going into hiding, and submitting their weapons to the occupier. They were also like the Dutch government who en masse helped to identify its citizens as Jews, according to the Neurenberg Laws. The present definition of Allochtones sounds a lot like the Neurenberg definition of Jews. Chillingly, there are no houses built today, a housing shortage is stated towards rationalising my travel ban; as if the Dutch expect many houses to become empty. The unemployed need to look for work, while there are no jobs, while Poles and Romanians pour in; again as if the Dutch are expecting a great exodus of allochtonen. The holocaust was first a major robbing of Jewish property, art and money. And it ended with the extraction of gold teeth of the murdered victims. And the Dutch knew, and were informed by the NSB newspaper, studies and press reports; about the fate of the Jews, making their: ‘We did not know, we were only doing our work,’ a great lie.

The Dutch system today is collapsing because of uncontrolled greed and the non-existence of a system of check and balances. A Holocaust is then a reset and a radical austerity measure with slave labour, reducing the population by mass murder and forced migration, murdering pensioners, the institutionalised and others who enjoy state benefits. The people in power use any mean to hold on to power, brainwashing its people through the state media. This economical crisis is human made, while the escape plan is that the same robbers of our tax money will also take us out of this crisis. How ingenious. They might start a war against Iran and declare foreigners the fifth colonna, who knows. God knows we are still having primitive wars, and if they have convinced the white Dutch in sufficient numbers about the need to deal with the foreigners, nobody can stop them. Surinamese should thus make plans to flee, their beautiful self-owned homes will be taken, and the Surinam government must prepare for hundreds of thousand refugees. Many will be half-Dutch, with no love or knowledge of Surinam. They should be conveyed to the jungle to build a new capital, in order not to overwhelm the slim conveniences and institutions the Surinamese contrived to found or maintain.

‘Badal’ does not inform us about the reasons why Badal’s long suffering wife left him and why even his children view him from a young age with loathing and and lively contempt. Quite unsettling. Why could he not charm his children? The angelic and mysterious women like S. and Ahn he charms and courts, reminds me of a self-aggrandizing Fellini, as they champion him as the Great Intellectual. Apart of his drinking he must have done other things to his family and friends of which he must have been very ashamed. Causing fights, adultery, wife battery, children torture, and psychological warfare, breaking things, bringing ill repute, and humiliation? I strongly feel that Ramdas’ anxious nature made him a premature shooter, as sex goes curiously missing from his books. I was gripped by the personal suffering, as alcoholism is a truly horrible disease. How is it possible that an educated person cannot ask for help? Yet this confirms to me that a housenigger is on all levels a bad person. He is a liar, a deceiver, trampling on death bodies in his wake. Was I not defrauded of my historical play about Masra Quassy by two houseniggers, talking about Black solidarity; while one is the highest-ranking Surinam Black on Dutch TV. A true housenigger of state. Not only shamelessly stealing my play, but mocking me too. Their role is to torture anti-colonialist, to attack and ridicule. And again Holland only deals with house niggers. Like selling your soul to the devil, who will next come to collect, not accepting to be cheated by a sudden conversion, as Badal did found out.

Nonetheless, ‘Badal’ is a major Surinam novel; Ramdas wanted to be Dutch, or a Migrant or a Cosmopolitan. Well he was not, his life ended as if he never left Surinam and was in truth still some alcoholic, Nickerian rice farmer, who hit a mid-life crisis, was abandoned by his longsuffering wife and children, and who next took his own life. Is DNA our fate? The story is a Surinam story of ill fate, with a Surinam cadenza, no matter at what spectacular location in South Africa, Washington, London or Delhi it played out. Because he remained very much a Surinam Indian, that to me is still a mysterious species, who seem to have a unity of mind not seen with Blacks, their great rivals in Surinam. To be Surinam Indian is to be severely critical about anything these Blacks do, so we know little about them, when there are no Black traditions to denounce. They keep mum about failures among Hindustanis, or injustices met at the hand of their pink Caucasian brethren. Hindustanis are playing at the role of successful immigrants, ideal immigrants to the hilt and end up coming across as frauds. They have a youth who take to soft-drugs as ducks take to water, suffer family oriented abuse, and a high incidence of suicide among their teenage children. Ramdas has a subtle humor, based on keen observation. The book reads like a stylish movie, with intimate conversations at stark settings with an Michelangelo Antonioni and Monica Vitti atmosphere, interspersed with colourful flashbacks at international locations. Some contrived nudity, but again curiously: there is no sex. The soundtrack will be a mixture of Offenbach’s opera, pop, jazz, qawwali and ‘A Night Like This’ by Caro Emerald. The extensive trivia presented as intellectualism should be cut, and personal clashes invented for the film script to reveal Badal’s character. The whole should be a passionate re-examination of the past, ending with the mournfully failed abstinence and the intentional dead by drowning on the swelling sounds of ‘Casta Diva.’

I feel the eternal soul of Anil Ramdas should be immediately taken back in grace and we need to have a Surinam street named after him. To honour his virtuosity, his successes, his bringing of cosmopolitism and Bollywood glamour to Surinam literature. As soon as possible.

THE OTHER VINCENT VAN GOGH

THE OTHER VINCENT VAN GOGH

THE POTATO EATERS SERIES FTROM 1885 SHOWS BLACKS.

MY RESEARCH, EVEN TRAVELLING TO NUENEN SHOWS, that Van Gogh did not have Black models as I suspected. The De Groot family were whites. But he had some reason to turn them into Blacks. This was also noted by a friend who wrote about the 'Hottentot faces.' He also seems inspired by a line in The Mine by Emile Zola, which talks about 'a black race coming out of the earth.' This is further of interest to me as it seems that around 1880 al portraits needed to be whitened, and brown and black Europeans were forced to marry whites. Next I notice that Johanna Bonger, the wife of Vincents brother Theo, looks very Indonesian and very dark of complexion. As does her brother Andries who helped her taking care of the Van Gogh Collection her son had inherited from his uncle. I think its exiting that Van Goghs fame was cemented by this Indonesian/Dutch lady who was not a art specialist. I'm still looking for confirmation that she was really from Indonesian origins.

De tweede zoon, Andreas Simonis, werd 'wijncooper'. Hij trouwde in 1687 met Cornelia Maria Cramers, die afkomstig was uit het Duitse Emmerich.Van hun zes kinderen zijn er drie heel jong overleden, over één zoon, Cornelis Mattheus, is maar weinig informatie te vinden (hij huurde in 1729 een huis in Den Haag), maar van de andere zoon, Henricus Lambertus, is de levensloop heel goed te volgen. Hij zorgde overigens voor wat blauw bloed in de familie. Nou ja, blauw .... het ging wel allemaal via buitenechtelijke geboorten en via de vrouwelijke lijn.
Henricus trouwde namelijk in 1720 met Hendrina Wijnants, een dochter van Jan Wijnants en van Alida van Nassau. Deze Alida was een dochter van Willem, jonker van Nassau, een buitenechtelijke zoon van Willem (bastaard) van Nassau, heer van de Lek (ook wel 'Nassau-La Lecq' genoemd). Die was op zijn beurt weer een buitenechtelijke zoon van Maurits, graaf van Nassau, prins van Oranje.
Maurits is nooit getrouwd geweest, maar heeft uit diverse verhoudingen kinderen gekregen. Die van zijn favoriete maîtresse, Margaretha van Mechelen, werden erkend, aan het hof opgevoed en mochten de naam Van Nassau dragen.

Henricus Simonis en Hendrina Wijnants kregen vier kinderen, waarvan er maar één nageslacht verwekte. Maar dat deed deze Philippus Joannes dan ook goed: er kwamen tien kinderen ! Zoals in die tijd helaas normaal was, overleed een aantal op heel jonge leeftijd. Vier zoons bleven in leven en die kregen allemaal nakomelingen. Zo ontstonden (in het begin voornamelijk in Den Haag en Leiden) vier takken van dezelfde 'boom', dezelfde familie Simonis.
Als je tot deze familie behoort, kun je dus afstammen van
Jacobus Adrianus Henricus Simonis (gedoopt 1765),
van Theodorus Antonius Simonis (gedoopt 1768),
net als ik van Joannes Henricus Simonis (gedoopt 1773)
of van de naar Leiden verhuisde Christianus Simonis (gedoopt 1778).
Van wie van deze vier je ook afstamt, je bent familie !

Portret van Willem van Oranje (1533-1584), vader van Prins Maurits.
Hij is de grondlegger van de Nederlandse dynastie en wordt door Van Beresteyn (19330) beschreven als 'Bruyn van verve ende baerde' en 'meer bruyn dan wit.' Vele gravures als bovenstaande tonen hem als een donkerbruine man. Dit geldt ook voor zijn broers, echtgenotes en nakomelingen.
Het is noodzakelijk dat wij in het onderzoek van de geschiedenis onze eigen anti-kolonialistische weg bewandelen en afrekenen met het racistische witte suprematiedenken, die aan de basis van de vervalste witte afbeeldingen van de prins schuilen. Zwarten hebben nooit onder gedaan voor witten, de beschaving begon in Afrika, en vele beroemde europeanen waren zwarte mensen. Vooral de Friese tak van het geslacht Van Oranje Nassau, waarvan Beatrix afstamt, toont personen met brede neuzen, dikke lippen een zwarte huid. Stadhouder Willem IV leek blijkbaar precies op Johan Adolf Pengel: een dikke, zwarte man met dikke lippen en een brede neus. Maar met witte make-up en een blonde pruik op, waartoe hij verplicht was.
Ze waren typisch voor een zwarte adellijke en intellectuele elite die vanaf de Renaissance tot de helft van de achttiende eeuw in Europa heerste. Er stonden vele zwarte en gekleurde families als Van Aerssen, Hygens en De Witt aan de wieg van de jonge Republiek der Nederlanden die autochtone, zwarte Europeanen waren en niet afstamden van slaven. Zwarten maken al eeuwen deel uit van Europa. De mensheid ontstond in Afrika, was gekleurd, en verspreidde zich ook in Europa, waar men de pigmentatie verloor als een aanpassing aan het zonloze klimaat.

Beste,
Vandaag ontdekte ik deze reactie, waarvoor dank. Als onderzoeker kom je vaak dingen tegen die je zelf misschien niet meteen kan gebruiken, maar ga je ervan uit dat het anderen kan blij maken. Maar leuk dat Oranges bloed ook in Surinaamse aderen stroomt. Wat zou Beatrix hiervan vinden? Ben benieuwd hoe de huidige generatie eruit ziet en wat zij doen met deze erfenis. In the USA zouden ze meteen een stichting oprichten etc. Ik denk aan de gekleurde afstammelingen van Thomas Jefferson of Abe Lincoln die een mulatten zoon had, waarvan weer velen afstammen. Stuur mij een mail.

No score for this post November 18 2009, 9:02 PM 

Hallo Sylvia Roozeboom en Egmond Godfried.
Naar aanleiding van de aanvulling van Sylvia op de site van Surinaamse Familie Spreeuw, het volgende. Ongeveer 15 jaar geleden werd ik gebeld door Dr Dek van de genealogische vereniging van Zuid Holland voor informatie over mijn schoonfamilie de fam. Spreeuw. Hij had in het telefoonboek van Amsterdam de naam Spreeuw gevonden en via via kwam hij bij mij terecht omdat wij het trouwboekje van mijn schoonmoeder hadden. De gegevens die daarin staan, mijn schoonvader is geboren op 7 oktober 1906 in Paramaribo en had de voornamen Jan Anthony en zijn vader was Theodorus Hendrik Spreeuw en Jacoba Wilhelmina Bertner. Dit nu zijn dezelfde voorouders van Sylvia Roozeboem, getuige het aanvullende stukje, dus zijn we echt verre familie. Mijn schoonvader is al in 1954 overleden en hij had vier kinderen die de naam Spreeuw dragen
Wilhelmina Catharina Lijsje Spreeuw, geboren in Hilversum 19 februari 1939
Petronella Adriana Spreeuw, geboren in Hilversum 10 october 1941
Robby Spreeuw, geboren op19 augustus 1946 in Amsterdam
Catharina Wilhelmina Lijsje Spreeuw (mijn echtgenote) geboren in Amsterdam op 26 september 1947.Het boek bloedverwanten van Prins Maurits geeft een onvolledig beeld en Dr. Dek verklaarde dat hij geen inzicht had uin het archief in Paramaibo, maar gevoeglijk kunnen we aannemen datze behoren tot de nazaten van de familie van Antonie Johannes Spreeuw, van het gezin zijn enkele leden naar Nederland gekomen en ook mijn schoonvader ondernam de stap in 1929 en trouwde op 17 november met mijn schoonmoeder Catharina Hellewegen, geboren 30 juni 1918. Dr. Dek heeft mij later op verzoek het boek toegestuurd en recentelijk is het weer actueel geworden omdat de oudste dochter van Wilhelmina Catharina Lijsje, woonachtig in Los Angeles geinteresseerd is geraakt en trouwens ook de site gevonden hebben. We zijn benieuwd naar Usw bevindingen over dit toch wel heel toevallige samenloop van omstandigheden en zouden graag iets van U horen.
Vriendelijke groeten Wim Keller

Torture By A Refrigerated Policecell In The Hague In The Netherlands

To The High Commissioner
of Human Rights in Geneva
Regarding: Torture in Holland by a ‘refrigerated police cell’
The Hague, 22 October 2006.

Sir,

I Egmond Codfried, a writer and a fighter for Civil Liberties and Human Rights, has only recently discovered that the Police Station Hoefkade 350 in The Hague, 0900-8844, in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, has a building locked ‘refrigerated cell’ to torture citizens. The police in Holland are licensed to detain citizens up to six hours, without charging them with a crime. These six hours are then used to punish and harass a citizen who does not minutely follow any policeman’s (Hogeboom) orders.

At this modern police station a so-called ‘Haagse crisisdienst’ is imbedded. They are the torturers who have to make sure that the victimized citizen is properly harassed, degraded and intimidated. They come prepared and wear winter clothes in summer as they spent some time in this refrigerated cell. After the verbal harassment, the temperature takes a serious dip and the prisoner starts to suffer the effects of hypothermia. He starts urinating incessantly, fearing for his health. I suspect that a superficial examination of the police station might not show anything peculiar. Presumably, they employ the normal cooling system, but systematically. They might be lowering the temperature to the extreme in certain cells to achieve their aim. I’m also looking for conformation that racist white ‘Suidafrikaner’ persons (R. B. of Vestia, Policemen Vl., Kr.), who fled post apartheid South Africa, are employed at the police to teach the Dutch how to humiliate and beat Black citizens. This might be the reason why we are not finding coloured or Muslims policemen in this most multiethnic Dutch society. After I made information, Station Hoefkade told me that a locked up person might have been ‘shaken, upset, stoned or drunk’ so his statement about a ‘refrigerated cell’ cannot be believed.

The ‘Haagse crisisdienst,’ the crises team, is part of Parnassia, a mental facility in The Hague. The eleven member’s team consists of licensed workers, but also unlicensed and deformed persons who illegally pass for ‘psychiatric nurses,’ by order off the director and the police. At this police station a policeman (H.), who is not a doctor, makes a medical diagnosis. This is then spun out to the absurd and submitted to official paper, by the torturers. This false document is a ‘semi-certification’ and is then freely circulated to embarrass and harm the victimized citizen’s rights. The use of psychiatry as a means of torture and punishment is explicitly forbidden by several international treaties which The Netherlands is party to. By leaking this false document, the victimized citizen is prevented from complaining and will be met with great disbelieve and ridicule. These documents can be used to facilitate forceful committing in a psychiatric hospital, as in ‘three strikes your out.’  These complaints were sent to the Health Inspector Office in Rijswijk ZH with the names of these alleged Parnassia torturers: Doctors R.van Beest, M.ter Velden, A.van Hemert, M.de Kruiff, R.de Winter, Nurses M.Visser, I.de Rijke en unlicensed toilet lady C.M.ter Horst.(see google.nl)

These practices have started in 1996 with Dr Paul Selten who did all of his preliminary Nazi styled research on Surinamese Blacks, Antillean Blacks and Berber Moroccans at the Parnassia facilities. The 1933 Nazi Nuremberg Race Laws, which deal with the biological inferiority of certain human races, who had to be exterminated in Europe in order to not defile the white race, are reinstated in Holland. The Dutch government has decided that only ‘white, blond and bleu-eyed’ citizens are the true Dutch. The rest is second-class citizens who are horded up in black neighbourhoods and go to black schools for inferior ‘Bantu’ education. This doctor has declared Blacks and Moroccans in Holland, of the second generation, to be biologically inferior to their white peers. With whom, I might ad; they successfully compete for elite and prestigious positions. Selten states that these peoples are 2-5% more susceptible to ‘schizophrenia’ with ‘paranoid coloured thinking’ as its main symptom. As white Dutch society rejects the existence of racial discrimination in Holland, so any person who dares to complain of racism must be crazy.

This kind of torture and ‘semi-certification’ go hand in hand. It strongly reminds one of the practices in Sovjet-era and present Russia and China which the recently murdered Anna Politovskaja had reported. Political dissidents were pronounced mentally ill and were locked up and starved in special mental institutes to cure them. Only this month president Bush, who has Dutch ancestry, was licensed to employ refrigerated cells to torture captured Muslim fighters, as a mean of distracting information. The police in The Hague might as well have inspired him! The police in The Hague are perpetrators in a staggering 10% of the known complaints by coloured citizens of racially motivated violence. Nationwide the figure is 6%. The police complaints board rejects 99,99% of all cases. The OM, the District Attorney or State Prosecutor does not earmark such cases as racially motivated crimes and doing so encourages mistrials and withholding of justice. Recent events show that Blacks and Coloureds in Holland are either burned to a crisp, as in the Shipholprison fire where eleven Blacks and Muslims perished; or are refrigerated to death as I have brought to your attention, today.

ADDISIONAL INFORMATION

TORTURE: Wikipedia

For other uses, see Torture (disambiguation).
The word torture is commonly used to mean the infliction of pain to break the will of the victim or victims. Any act by which severe pain, whether physical or psychological, is intentionally inflicted on a person as a means of intimidation, deterrence, revenge, punishment, sadism, information gathering, or to obtain false confessions for propaganda or political purposes may be called torture. It can be used as an interrogation tactic to extract confessions. Torture is also used as a method of coercion or as a tool to control groups seen as a threat by governments. Throughout history, it has often been used as a method of effecting religious conversion or political “re-education.” Torture is almost universally considered to be an extreme violation of human rights, as stated by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Signatories of the Third Geneva Convention and Fourth Geneva Convention agree not to torture protected persons (enemy civilians and POWs) in armed conflicts, and signatories of the UN Convention Against Torture agree not to intentionally inflict severe pain or suffering on anyone, to obtain information or a confession, to punish them, or to coerce them or a third person. These conventions and agreements notwithstanding, it is estimated by organizations such as Amnesty International that around two out of three countries do not consistently abide by the spirit of such treaties.
•   
[edit] Current legal status of torture
On December 10, 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly. Article 5 states "No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment".
Since that time the use of torture has been regulated by a number of international treaties, of which the two major ones are the United Nations Convention Against Torture and the Geneva Conventions.

The "United Nations Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment"(UNCAT) came into force in June 1987. The most relevant articles are articles 1, 2, 3 and the first paragraph of article 16
Article 1
1. Any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes as obtaining from him or a third person information or a confession, punishing him for an act he or a third person has committed or is suspected of having committed, or intimidating or coercing him or a third person, or for any reason based on discrimination of any kind, when such pain or suffering is inflicted by or at the instigation of or with the consent or acquiescence of a public official or other person acting in an official capacity. It does not include pain or suffering arising only from, inherent in or incidental to lawful sanctions.
2. This article is without prejudice to any international instrument or national legislation which does or may contain provisions of wider application.
Article 2
1. Each State Party shall take effective legislative, administrative, judicial or other measures to prevent acts of torture in any territory under its jurisdiction.
2. No exceptional circumstances whatsoever, whether a state of war or a threat of war, internal political instability or any other public emergency, may be invoked as a justification of torture.
3. An order from a superior officer or a public authority may not be invoked as a justification of torture.
Article 3
1. No State Party shall expel, return ("refouler") or extradite a person to another State where there are substantial grounds for believing that he would be in danger of being subjected to torture.
2. For the purpose of determining whether there are such grounds, the competent authorities shall take into account all relevant considerations including, where applicable, the existence in the State concerned of a consistent pattern of gross, flagrant or mass violations of human rights.
Article 16
1. Each State Party shall undertake to prevent in any territory under its jurisdiction other acts of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment which do not amount to torture as defined in article I, when such acts are committed by or at the instigation of or with the consent or acquiescence of a public official or other person acting in an official capacity. In particular, the obligations contained in articles 10, 11, 12 and 13 shall apply with the substitution for references to torture of references to other forms of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.
There are several points which should be noted:
•    Section 1: torture is defined as severe pain or suffering, which means there exist levels of pain and suffering which are not severe enough to be called torture. Discussions on this area of international law are influenced by a ruling of the European Court of Human Rights(ECHR). See the section Other conventions for more details on the ECHR ruling.
•    Section 2: If a state has signed the treaty without reservations, then there are no exceptional circumstances whatsoever where a state can use torture and not break its treaty obligations. However the worst sanction which can be applied to a powerful country is a public record that they have broken their treaty obligations. [1] In certain exceptional cases the authorities in those countries may consider that, with plausible deniability, this is an acceptable risk to take as the definition of severe is open to interpretation.
•    Section 16: contains the obligation to prevent "acts of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment", but only in "any territory under its jurisdiction". So a state is not prohibited from allowing coercive techniques short of torture conducted in a territory not under its jurisdiction.
At the moment this treaty has been signed by about half the countries in the world.
Some Psychological torture methods

Geachte Gé Gubben,

Helaas kan ik niet aan uw naam zien wat uw geslacht is, maar dat is niet ter zake.

Met belangstelling nam ik kennis van uw belangstelling voor mijn schrijven over marteling in Nederland. Wij zijn een land die de hele wereld de les leest en vergeten af en toe in de eigen achtertuin te kijken of alles nog pluis. Niet dat het ooit pluis is geweest, maar goed.

Van u verwacht ik dat u alles wat u doet in de steek laat, uw salaris en hypotheek en carrière plannen even vergeet, en linearecta naar de Hoefkade 350 in Den Haag gaat, met een aannemer, om kennis te nemen van de foltercel van de Nederlandse staat.

U hebt hierin een eigen verantwoordelijkheid en wij zouden misschien voor een keertje de papierwinkel bullshit even kunnen vergeten. De cel is niet alleen voor klager gebouwd maar bedreigt 61% van de Haagse burgers.

Misschien dat u zich ook verzekert van de toestanden bij de Rotterdamse politie en de GGZ waar zij 'jonge Antilliaanse mannen' zie google opsluiten, platspuiten en dan weer wegjagen.

Ik wens u een prettige dag en hé Gé: Je kan morgen niet beweren: Wij hebben het niet geweten!

Egmond Codfried

Geachte heer Codfried,

Met belangstelling hebben we kennis genomen van uw schrijven aan de Hoge Commissaris voor de Mensenrechten. Uw klacht richt zich specifiek tegen de politie Haaglanden.

Overigens zullen zij net als wij zeer geïnteresseerd zijn in het antwoord op uw schrijven.

Met vriendelijke groet,

Re: Torture By A Refrigerated Policecell In The Hague In The Netherlands

Aan het Landelijk Bureau Racismebestrijding
te Rotterdam,

Den Haag, 26 oktober 2006.

Geachte Gé Grubben,

In reactie op uw laatste mail waarin u uitleg geeft over de ‘beperkende kaders’ van het LBR mandaat, welke u ervan weerhouden folterkamers op uw eigen stoep te onderzoeken. Temeer daar mijn toon u niet aanstaat. U maakt dus een afweging tussen ‘mijn toon’ en het feit dat het OM en de Nederlandse politie zwarte en gekleurde burgers martelen.

Uw collega's bij het ADB te Den Haag hebben gereageerd op mijn lange brief met vragen, aanmerkingen en het signaleren van een gekoelde politiecel.

Het is natuurlijk niet mijn intentie bij hen een klacht te deponeren, want zij zijn, net als het LBR, een verlengstuk van een racistisch regeringsbeleid. Het is te biecht gaan bij de duivel. Uw taak is de massa zand in de ogen te strooien dat er 'iets' wordt gedaan tegen racisme. U krijgt trouwens leiding van een Huisneger.

In ieder geval lieten uw collega's van het ADB Den Haag, waarmee het LBR gaat fuseren, weten dat zij 'geen discriminatiegronden' in een eventuele klacht over marteling door de Haagse politie zien.

Hoe stelt u zich voor dat al de bewijzen op tafel komen? Een schriftelijke bekentenis van de daders?

Ondertussen heb ik DSO te Den Haag aangeschreven want alle tekeningen en aanbestedingen van Hoefkade 350 met de folterkamer berusten bij hen. U zou hen kunnen benaderen. Maar dat is wellicht niet uw mandaat.

Tevens maakt uw ‘Monitor Rassendiscriminatie 2005’ melding van de bejegening in de Gezondheidszorg. Van mijn kant heb ik een tuchtrechtelijke klacht tegen deze folteraars lopen en heeft directeur Ruud van Beest van foltercentrum Parnassia, lopende de zaak, het veld geruimd.

U doet wetenschappelijk onderzoek, maar bent blijkbaar niet vrij om zelf uw informatie te vergaren. Wat voor wetenschap is dat?

Denk niet dat ik een persoonlijk genoegen aan het bevredigen ben door u aan te schrijven.

U wordt betaald uit ons belastinggeld dat ook door middel van het LBR tegen zwarte en gekleurde mensen wordt ingezet.

Mijn taak zie ik als het verdedigen van de principes van de rechtsstaat, internationale verdragen en beschaving. Als men vanwege mijn toon deze klacht terzijde wil leggen, dan weet ik precies wie de grote Nazi's in schaapkleren zijn.

Een prettige dag toegewenst.

Egmond Codfried
