Smedema’s Financial Claims Against the Dutch State

Main text

Hans Smedema, believing himself to be the victim of a decades-long conspiracy orchestrated by the Dutch government, repeatedly demanded financial compensation from the Dutch state for the alleged damages he incurred. His demands, stemming from a complex web of accusations involving loss of income, legal expenses, psychological trauma, and forced exile, highlight the profound financial impact of the alleged conspiracy on his life.

Smedema’s financial demands can be categorized into three main areas:

1. Compensation for Lost Income:

Smedema asserts that the alleged conspiracy directly led to the destruction of his career and the loss of a substantial income. He claims that a deliberate campaign of drugging, manipulation, and sabotage orchestrated by the “Omerta Organization” resulted in his inability to work. This alleged campaign, according to Smedema, involved daily doses of ketamine that impaired his cognitive abilities, misdiagnosis and forced administration of antipsychotic medication (Risperdal), and strategic actions taken by Jaap Duijs, his alleged “guardian,” to prevent him from securing employment.

As a result of these alleged actions, Smedema claims he was declared fully disabled in January 2004, leading to the loss of his high-paying job as an executive searcher, which he estimates earned him approximately 145,000 euros annually [1]. This loss of income, spanning over a decade, forms a significant part of his financial demands.

Smedema argues that the Dutch state is responsible for this financial loss, as the alleged conspiracy was orchestrated by individuals within the government, potentially including members of the Royal Family. He believes the deliberate actions taken to undermine his career and earning potential were part of a broader strategy to silence him and prevent him from exposing the alleged truth.

2. Reimbursement for Legal and Investigative Expenses:

Smedema also demands compensation for the substantial legal and investigative expenses he incurred in his pursuit of justice. These expenses include costs associated with hiring lawyers, private investigators, and pursuing legal actions both domestically and internationally.

He mentions engaging at least two private detective firms, K2 Detectives and Paalman and de Roy van Zuydewijn Detective Consultations, to investigate his claims and gather evidence [2]. He expresses disappointment with their limited findings, attributing their inability to uncover substantial proof of a conspiracy to the alleged cover-up and obstruction by those involved [2]. Despite the limited success, these investigations undoubtedly incurred significant costs.

Smedema also describes numerous attempts to secure legal representation in the Netherlands, often facing refusals, withdrawals, and what he believes was intimidation of lawyers by the alleged conspirators [3, 4]. This alleged interference forced him to navigate a complex legal system without adequate guidance and likely resulted in significant legal expenses.

His pursuit of justice also led him to international legal avenues, including asylum requests in the United States and complaints filed with the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) and the UN Human Rights Council [5]. These legal actions, though unsuccessful, added to his mounting financial burden.

Smedema contends that the Dutch state should be held accountable for these expenses, as their alleged obstruction of justice and manipulation of the legal system forced him to incur these costs in his fight for truth and accountability.

3. Damages for Psychological Trauma and Forced Exile:

Beyond the direct financial losses, Smedema also demands compensation for the profound psychological trauma he claims to have endured as a result of the alleged conspiracy. He argues that the constant drugging, gaslighting, manipulation, and forced exile in Spain have taken a severe toll on his mental health and well-being.

Smedema describes being subjected to electroshock therapy, forced administration of antipsychotic medication, and relentless psychological manipulation designed to discredit him and portray him as mentally ill [6, 7]. These alleged actions, he claims, have caused lasting psychological damage, adding another layer to his financial demands.

Furthermore, Smedema asserts that the alleged conspiracy forced him into exile in Spain, separating him from his family and home country. This forced exile, he argues, has caused further emotional distress and financial hardship, as he was forced to establish a new life in a foreign country while simultaneously battling a powerful and corrupt system in his homeland.

Smedema believes the Dutch state should be held financially responsible for the psychological trauma he claims to have endured and the forced exile he was subjected to, as these hardships were a direct consequence of their alleged actions.

Specific Amounts and Unsuccessful Attempts:

The specific financial demands made by Smedema vary across different sources and time periods. In his blog post titled “Compensation for Hans Smedema?” he outlines a total demand of over 50 million euros, encompassing compensation for lost earnings, legal expenses, and the psychological and physical damage he claims to have suffered [8]. He also demands compensation for the alleged “bonuses” promised to individuals who could provide evidence of the conspiracy but were silenced, highlighting the financial implications of the alleged cover-up [8].

In other instances, Smedema makes more specific demands. He mentions requesting a “minimum advance” of 100,000 euros in 2004 to mitigate the financial strain caused by the alleged conspiracy [9]. Later, in 2012, he submitted a formal invoice to the Ministry of General Affairs, demanding a 1.5 million euro advance on the estimated damages he believed to be in the range of 5 to 10 million euros [9, 10]. These attempts to secure a financial settlement were unsuccessful, highlighting the Dutch government’s unwillingness to acknowledge or address his claims.

Smedema also recounts two instances where he claims to have been offered 5 million euros by representatives of the Dutch government in exchange for his silence [11, 12]. He refused these offers, interpreting them as an admission of guilt and an attempt to suppress the truth. This refusal further underscores his determination to seek justice and accountability.

Obstacles and Challenges:

Despite his persistent efforts, Smedema faced significant obstacles in securing financial compensation from the Dutch state. His claims of a vast conspiracy involving high-ranking officials and potentially the Royal family were met with disbelief and dismissal by the authorities. The alleged cover-up, he argues, extended to the financial realm, with individuals within the government allegedly manipulating records, obstructing legal processes, and denying any wrongdoing.

Smedema’s difficulties in securing legal representation, coupled with the alleged control of information and the intimidation of potential witnesses, made it virtually impossible for him to present his case effectively and obtain a fair hearing. The lack of independent verification of his claims, the complexity of the alleged conspiracy, and the power dynamics involved created a seemingly insurmountable barrier to securing financial redress.

Smedema’s financial demands, though presented from his perspective and currently unverified, paint a stark picture of the alleged impact of the conspiracy on his life. His claims of lost income, legal expenses, and psychological trauma highlight the devastating consequences of the alleged cover-up and raise critical questions about the accountability of the Dutch government and its responsibility to address the alleged injustices he endured.
