Sept. 18, 2005 Patrick Hurley, that prolific Holloway penman (47 useless-knowledge pieces since June 29...39 of them pro-Holloway paeans) takes up arms for Beth…yet again. A predator, am I, deemed to be taking aim at a defenseless Beth Holloway? Can this be the same Beth Holloway who has the unrestricted use of an estimated $20-million in donated funds; who has recently been given unfettered access to Dr. Phil’s multi-millions, which can be applied to further her vendetta of vengeance against an 18-year-old Aruban honour student and his highly respected father; and who has public relations persons and lawyers numbered amongst her ever-present entourage? The same Beth Holloway who has, and has had for seeming ages, on-demand access to the ears (and camera lenses) of the talking heads at FOX, MSNTV and CNN? Come, come, Patrick, hurl not that untruth at me. Should anyone wish to watch a real predator in action, read the following excerpts from Patrick Hurley’s articles as he skillfully stalks; hamstrings, smears and judges a defenseless 17-year-old boy whose father, as an appointed official in the Aruban judicial system, can make no public statement on his son’s behalf. “…Joran Van der Sloot has changed his story EIGHT times. I have news for him. There is a mother out there who is not going to let him get away with that…” June 30 “… Four suspects who were arrested have been released, including the enigmatic Paulus Van der Sloot who has become the poster child for why someone should NEVER disappear in Aruba late at night….” July 1 “…Scott Peterson is a classic psychopath in the same criminal bloodline as Ted Bundy and Dennis Rader… Joran has the same exterior makeup as these guys…From someone who has studied the minds and attitudes of psychopaths, I think I know the answer...”July 5 “…If Joran Van der Sloot owed a debt to someone and could not pay them back with his own money, he could have been told to pay with something or someone else…” July 5 “… Someone said they saw Joran punch Natalee in the face. Did he? It would fit the scenario that many believe happened. Can it be proven? No… If Joran Van der Sloot was crafty enough to make Natalee disappear, it is unlikely he is going to trap himself on a cell phone or a computer transcription…” July 16 “…There is no case, as it was so eloquently put by the elder Van der Sloot, because the…remains…will never be found now. The absence of that wonderful girl is a ticket to freedom for the three boys who saw her last…The injustice here is that the lie always trumps the truth if the lie is good enough. In this case, it was. As Joran kept changing his stories, the lie got better and better until it finally protected him. He worked hard to find the right combination of words to save his skin…” I ignored your first public slight (and those three private e-mails, lol), Patrick, and incorrectly assumed that it was safe to turn the other cheek, presuming that your head is so deeply embedded between the Holloway-Twitty camp’s nether cheeks as to render you oblivious to everything other than that which is found there. Oh, my. I seriously underestimated the power of the almighty dollar. Joran can’t access the $20-million in donated funds; it would be futile for me to forward an invoice for my scribblings; but something has moved Mr. Hurley enough to take him away from his day job and the garnering of Emmy Awards, and to sufficiently motivate him to pen 39 purportedly for-free character attacks on a 17-year-old youth and his family. And what is the Hurley day job? From what I can garner, Mr. Hurley is a for-fee motivator of students, teachers and parents. His picture, at http://bureau.espeakers.com/jost/viewspeaker4286, shows a smiling, avuncular, and benign individual--totally at odds with his role of prosecutor, judge and executioner in all matters Van Der Sloot. Distressingly, there is no sign in the photo of the oft-mentioned, cherished daughter…or that dearly beloved and well-travelled leather jacket. But wait, there is more. The Lutheran Church, at http://www.uss-elca.org/video6.htm, describes him as a Christian comedian and youth speaker as it attempts to sell website viewers an innocuously titled item from his stable of teen-help videos. Seemingly, he is a veritable Benny Hinn of the high-school circuit, but there is nothing there to indicate why he felt compelled to initiate his cowardly series of 39 personal, public attacks and libels on the hapless Van Der Sloots (and let’s not forget my two slights and three e-mails). Has Patrick appointed himself to be the figurehead and sole in-print champion for the well-funded, well-lawyered, well-represented Beth Holloway-Twitty in her battles to wrest justice from Aruba, wreak havoc upon Holland and possibly, just possibly, topple Queen Beatrix from her throne? If you have, Patrick, I don’t think you are quite up to the task. In one of the Crusader’s last battles the Christians, desperate for a fitting figurehead to strike fear into the hearts of their foes, disinterred the body of El Cid, wrapped a suit of armour around the bloated, stinking, suppurating corpse, strapped it onto a charger, and led it into battle behind his colours, pennants and flags. The ploy worked. The battle was won—but the war was ultimately lost. El Cid? He was unhorsed, stripped of his armour, returned to his tomb and reburied, as he was only a bloated, dead, empty shell…as are you, Patrick Hurley. ------------ About the author: Dayo Gould is a frequent visitor to Aruba, and is a volunteer ESL teacher in a Christian school.
