Who killed Fortuyn?

FPF -The Netherlands - May 15th 2002 - According to a Dutch police source, the man arrested for the murder of politician Pim Fortuyn : "must be a better 'hit man' than all the professionals in the Dutch secret services, the police forces and other armed services at present officially working for them".

Secret reconstructions during the past days did not turn up one 'sharp shooter' who was able to put 5 bullets in the same places as where Mr. Fortuyn was hit by the announced murderer. During the reconstructions the
shooters and special agents tried - while walking towards and past a dummy of Fortuyn - to hit the markers on the dummy. They all failed, and at present those - until this publication still secret - findings, have turned into a huge head ache for "the authorities". Policemen involved in the reconstructions are "flabbergasted". The idea concerning the possible guilt
of the 32-old "pro life" environmental activist Volkert vd G. is shattered. If none of the professional marks- and 'hit men' can do it : how could he ?

And of course : Whodunnit ?

This confirms uncertain knowledge and also spreading speculation that the murder last week of Pim Fortuyn, the gunned down Dutch politician, may not have been the act of a lone animal rights activist, as police and justice officials earlier said to believe. Quote(see*) from the British paper "Financial Times", by Ian Bickerton in Amsterdam, (May 13th) : "An official with close ties to the Dutch intelligence service said he thought it likely that the murder was planned. He said the sprawling location - a media complex at Hilversum, near Amsterdam - would almost certainly have been
studied, and that the assassin must have been trained in using firearms. He also said extremists were known to operate within the Dutch environmental movement, contrary to the moderate face it projects to the outside world.(?) Mr Fortuyn's view on animal rights has been cited as a possible motive for his murder.*

"I am not saying it was impossible but my view would be - that whoever did this - was not alone," the official said. "At first I thought it might have been a hired killer because it is not that easy to be that accurate with a
gun. Where did he practise and where did he get his weapon?" This point of view was repeatedly also given by Mr. Fred Teeven, on Dutch national television. Mr. Teeven is an experienced ex-public prosecutor and at present member of the Board of the Fortuyn Party. His repeated request to be able to take part in the Government's commission to investigate this political
murder was turned down.

Dutch Justice officials continue to say that Volkert van der G., a 32-year-old animal rights campaigner " acted alone " as some of the authorities try to make the very worried Dutch people believe. But now after police investigators in vain tried to reconstruct the shooting, the (negatively famous) Ministry of Justice will hardly be able to explain why the reconstructions failed. And why this apparently proves that van der G. can not have done it. Even if they say that he was arrested "smoking gun in his hand". The conviction slowly grows that van der G. maybe a kind of "Dutch version of Lee Harvey Oswald", the man who was said to have shot
President John F. Kennedy. Volkert van der G., is a 32-year-old animal rights campaigner and environmentalist, since half a year the proud father
of his first child. With a whole "green" life behind him, describing in interviews that he's living as veganist : "out of respect for all life". "He wouldn't trap a mouse nor kill a mosquito" his family and friends confirm.

That's the killer ? *Concerning the environment and "animal rights" : on page 114 of Fortuyn's book : " The Mess left behind by eight years of the Purple Coalition"- Prof. Fortuyn writes : " Of course, first of all we have
to take care of the well being of the animals, and we must change to a less industrial way of production". end quote Fortuyn.

Internationally Prof. Fortuyn in most media was called "extreme right-wing racist" by the mainstream media. And compared to Le Pen in France and Haider in Austria. As FPF correspondent in Holland one can see that around ONE THIRD of the LPF party members is "coloured" and from many different countries and races. Which - world wide - could be seen on television during his funeral. A top job of deception and a blame on many of the foreign correspondents and foreign news agencies active in The Netherlands. Who apparently have not checked and made up their own minds, but parroted the Dutch official "news" agency ANP and similar sources. Many people dislike many of Fortuyn's views, like his immigration- and anti-arab policy, but the present Govt wasn't doing much better. That's why the enormous landslide victory for Fortuyn's party LPF today.

Well, the end came May 6th with the murder of Fortuyn.

But again : Whodunnit ?

The Netherlands Association of Shooters Clubs (KNSA), with 700 clubs and 36,000 members, said the suspect was not know to them but may have been a
member of an unaffiliated club. Piet Hoogeveen, KNSA president, said security checks on new members relied on "instinct and observation".

And none of the above mentioned Shooters has a better skill than "veganist killer" van der G. ?
Or do we see a Dutch "Oswald" ?

Official denials - of anyhting above described ever happening - can of course be expected. And absolutely nothing has been heard from the accused killer since he was arrested. The Netherlands is one of those countries where an accused - ACCORDING TO THE LAW - is not allowed to be assisted by a lawyer the first TWO DAYS after being arrested and being interrogated.

Let's hope he doesn't get the usual "lamentable accidente" and van der G. lives to tell...

The independent author studied in advance the "Positions of Lijst Pim Fortuyn" trying to make up his own mind. Many more "journalists" - especially the 'demonizing kind - should have done that too, is his opinion.

The English version :"Positions of Lijst Pim Fortuyn" is offered and edited by the Information Department of Fortuyn's party : Lijst Pim Fortuyn. So you know the source.
