The Netherlands: billionaire 'Shylock' as new US ambassador?

Last February 'The Los Angeles Times' started a series of articles after researching Arnall and his methods
of working.* The articles show that this man apparently is 'unfit as a human being', but according to Bush
and his collaborators in Holland he's OK as an ambassador? Doing what?

FPF - Amsterdam - Aug. 2nd 2005 - The Dutch Foreign office in the Hague, many of the people and the 'corps diplomatique' do have a problem: the American regime has nominated a person who even in the US papers is depicted as a criminal and greedy loan shark - as the neocon's new Ambassador to the Netherlands: billionaire and infamous businessman Roland Arnall.*

Arnall also was and is a big spender/briber concerning support for the Bush, the election campaign and Republican party, as well as an avid supporter of the Wiesenthal Center of which Arnall is an Executive Board member, even visiting the Pope in Rome for some PR and a photo-op.

Not only were millions given to Bush, also the infamous groper and 'Terminator' Schwarzenegger as governor was given some money as well, even by Dawn Arnall, the wife of Ameriquest founder Roland Arnall; last time she gave $250,000. The Arnalls and Ameriquest have given the Terminator/governor and his causes $1.54 million since 2003. Since 2002 Arnall and his wife have been regarded as some of the biggest financial supporters of Bush's election campaigns, which now pays off in the form of a lucrative post as 'ambassador' in Holland, an 'Israeli colony' and #6 on the list of richest countries on earth.

With a small strongly brainwashed sixteen million population - collaborating mainstream media and state broadcasting, an easy target for neocon multinationals. All major information sheets - formerly known as 'newspapers' - are in the hands of the british friends of Blair and the multinational APAX - Url.: http://tinyurl.com/76nff

Fronting at what formerly was the Netherlands news Agency ANP, is now the Dutch multinational Fentener van Vlissingen. All information in Holland is 'lined' by the main$tream media: there's little honest reporting left: journalism is in a 'commercial crap coma'.

One has to find out why or whether Arnall really is an usurer, loan shark etc. and such a big slap in the face of the people where he is placed as their new american neocon-junta governor. Who is the new 'Gauleiter' for this division of their neocon empire - as some Dutch remembering the occupation during the 2'nd World War say.

One should know that Arnall is the founder and major shareholder in an usurer company called 'Ameriquest' which gives loans to people with poor credit ratings; loan sharking like Shakespeare's Shylock did.

He's OK as an ambassador? Doing what?

Last February 'The Los Angeles Times' started a series of articles* after researching Arnall and his methods
of working. The articles show that this man apparently is unfit as a human being, but, says Bush and his collaborators in Holland: he's OK as an ambassador? Doing what?

According to the articles in the LATimes: Workers Say Lender Ran 'Boiler Rooms': * Critics say Ameriquest, touted as an industry model, fabricated data, forged documents and hid fees. The company denies wrongdoing. The research and writing was done by Mike Hudson and E. Scott Reckard, quoting among many somebody who had worked there: ''Mark Bomchill says he'd like to forget the year he spent hustling mortgages for Ameriquest Capital Corp. in suburban Minneapolis. Slugging down Red Bull caffeine drinks, sales agents would work the phones hour after hour, he said, trying to turn cold calls into lucrative "sub-prime" mortgages -- high-cost loans made to people with spotty credit.

The demands were relentless: One manager prowled the aisles between desks like "a little Hitler," Bomchill said, hounding agents to make more calls and push more loans, bragging that he hired and fired people so fast that one worker would be cleaning out his desk as his replacement came through the door."It was like a boiler room," said Bomchill, 37. "You produce, you make a lot of money. Or you move on.

There's no real compassion or understanding of the position they're putting their customers in." ['Boiler
Room' - Clip - Url.:

Indeed, Bomchill -- who said he left Ameriquest because he didn't like the way the company treated its
employees and customers, and now works as a mortgage broker -- contends that the drive to close deals and grab six-figure salaries led many Ameriquest employees astray: They forged documents, hyped customers' creditworthiness and "juiced" mortgages with hidden rates and fees."

Looking at the vile facts and documents gathered by the LATimes - and a ton more on Internet - one wonders how deep the neocons will sink in their ill-mannered, embarrassing but deadly ignorance and greed. They are a disgrace to the human race, and a murderous one at that.

LATimes: "At Ameriquest," the company likes to say, "we never forget that our customers deserve respect, fairness and honesty."

Yet a far different picture emerges from public records, interviews and dozens of consumer lawsuits:

* Ameriquest customers filed more complaints with the Federal Trade Commission from 2000 through 2004 than did those of two of its biggest competitors combined, the agency said -- 466 compared with 101
for Full Spectrum Lending (Calabasas-based Countrywide Financial Corp.'s sub-prime unit) and 51 for Irvine-based New Century Financial Corp.

* From 2000 through 2004, 134 complaints (including allegations of fraud and unfair business practices)
were registered against Ameriquest with the California Department of Corporations, compared with 39 for
New Century and 21 for Full Spectrum.

* Recent lawsuits filed by consumers in California and at least 20 other states allege a pattern of fraud,
falsification of documents, bait-and-switch sales tactics and other violations. Six of these suits seek class-action status to represent large groups of borrowers; such status has been granted for a 2001 suit filed in Redwood City, Calif. In a sworn declaration in that case, a former loan officer named Kenneth Kendall said Ameriquest managers encouraged employees to "promise certain interest rates and fees, only to change those rates at the time of the closing."

And this is the figure the neocon-Junta in Washington wants to send to the Netherlands? Doing what?
'Starving the Beast' like the neocon rats are doing already in the Netherlands?

This whole war criminal racket in Washington must as soon as is possible be interned in one of their
concentration camps like Guantanamo, or on some kind of Devil's Island* which they surely have in their
inhuman American Gulag.

Allegations of falsified documents are a common thread in the borrower lawsuits and in more than two
dozen accounts from ex-workers.

In a suit filed Jan. 14 in U.S. District Court in San Francisco, Nona Knox claims that Ameriquest qualified
her and her late husband, Albert, for a loan by fabricating documents showing that he earned $6,800 a month as proprietor of Knox Music Academy. At the time of the loan, the suit says, Albert Knox was 79 and suffering from terminal cancer. The music school never existed, the suit says."

Since most people in the Netherlands still remember what honesty and justice is, the question concerning Arnall's strange activities grows:

Doing what?
