Smedema’s Asylum: A Dutch Conspiracy

Main text

Hans Smedema, a Dutch national residing in Spain, has repeatedly sought asylum in the United States, driven by his belief that he is a victim of a long-standing conspiracy orchestrated by the Dutch government. This alleged conspiracy, which he claims stems from a sexual assault on his wife in 1972 by a high-ranking Dutch official, has led to what he describes as decades of persecution, harassment, and attempts to silence him. Smedema’s asylum applications are a testament to his desperate search for justice and protection outside the Netherlands, a country he believes is actively working against him.

Here’s a chronological breakdown of the events that culminated in Smedema’s multiple asylum requests:

Early Allegations and Perceived Injustices:

1972: The Alleged Catalyst:

• Smedema pinpoints the alleged sexual assault of his wife (then his girlfriend) by Joris Demmink, a high-ranking official in the Dutch Ministry of Justice, as the genesis of his ordeal [1, 2]. He believes this crime triggered a decades-long cover-up to protect Demmink and other powerful individuals involved in a network of sexual abuse [1, 2].

Years of Alleged Harassment and Obstruction:

• Smedema describes years of alleged harassment, intimidation, and attempts to silence him following his initial accusations [1, 3]. He claims he was denied legal representation, blocked from filing charges, and subjected to unfair trials where evidence was suppressed, and his defense was ignored [1, 3, 4].

Forced Sterilization and Medical Manipulation:

• Smedema alleges that he was forcibly sterilized in 1972 and subjected to ongoing psychological torture and medical manipulation to discredit him [1, 5]. He accuses medical professionals of drugging him with antipsychotics, subjecting him to forced “brainwashing” sessions, and using gaslighting tactics to portray him as delusional [6]. This alleged medical manipulation further fueled his distrust in the Dutch system and reinforced his belief that he was being deliberately targeted [7].

The “Delusional” Label and the “Cordon Sanitaire”:

• Smedema contends that the Dutch government and those involved in the alleged conspiracy deliberately labeled him as “delusional” to discredit his accusations and isolate him from potential support [8-11]. He describes this tactic as a “cordon sanitaire” designed to prevent him from accessing legal representation, gaining public sympathy, or effectively challenging the alleged cover-up [10-12].

Turning to the US for Asylum:

First Asylum Request (2009):

In 2009, driven by a belief that he could not receive justice in the Netherlands, Smedema filed for asylum in the United States [13, 14]. He arrived at Miami Airport, where his request triggered a seven-month detention and a thorough investigation by the FBI and CIA [15-17]. He believed that American authorities, being external to the alleged Dutch conspiracy, would provide a fair and impartial assessment of his claims [13, 14, 18].

Judge Ford and the Five Grounds for Asylum:

• During his first asylum request, Smedema’s case was overseen by Immigration Judge Rex J. Ford, whom he describes as sympathetic and supportive [19, 20]. According to Smedema, Judge Ford found five valid grounds for asylum in his case—an unprecedented number in US history—based on the FBI investigation’s findings [14, 21-24]. This finding seemingly validated Smedema’s claims in the eyes of the American legal system [14, 22, 24].

Denial and the Bilateral Judicial Treaty:

• Despite Judge Ford’s findings, Smedema’s first asylum request was ultimately denied [15, 25, 26]. He attributes this denial to the influence of a bilateral judicial treaty between the US and the Netherlands, which he believes prioritizes the protection of the Dutch Crown over his individual rights [23, 26-28]. This treaty, according to Smedema, prevented the US from granting him asylum as it would obligate American authorities to cooperate with the Dutch government, which he claims is actively persecuting him [27-29].

Second Asylum Request (2013/2014):

• Undeterred by the initial denial, Smedema filed a second asylum request in Texas in 2013/2014 [5, 16, 30-32]. During this time, Judge Ford reopened his 2009 case, acknowledging “too many mistakes” in the initial handling of his request [33-35]. However, the second asylum attempt was also unsuccessful, leading to his deportation back to the Netherlands [30, 36].

Third Asylum Request (2016/2017) and Alleged Royal Interference:

• In 2016/2017, Smedema filed his third asylum request, this time in San Diego [16, 30, 32, 37]. However, he alleges that this request was ultimately canceled by his legal counsel [38]. He then describes a dramatic incident that occurred on March 15, 2017, while he was being deported from Los Angeles to Amsterdam on a KLM flight [33, 39-41]. Smedema claims that Judge Ford attempted to grant him asylum while the plane was in US airspace, but King Willem-Alexander, who Smedema alleges was serving as co-pilot, intervened to block the offer [26, 28, 33, 39-42]. This alleged act of royal interference, according to Smedema, is a blatant abuse of power and further evidence of the Dutch government’s determination to silence him [41, 43].

Persecution Beyond Dutch Borders:

Exile in Spain and Continued Harassment:

• Smedema’s exile in Spain, a decision he claims was driven by a need to escape persecution in the Netherlands, did not provide him with the refuge he sought [44-46]. He describes continued harassment and attempts to discredit him, alleging that the Dutch “Omerta Organization” extended its reach into Spain, influencing Spanish authorities and medical professionals to participate in the alleged conspiracy against him [45, 47].

The “Aspirin” Incident and Medical Manipulation in Spain:

• Our previous conversation highlighted a crucial event on March 24, 2022, at Hospital Marina Baixa in Spain, where an anesthesiologist revealed that the baby aspirin Smedema was prescribed was actually an antipsychotic medication. This incident seemingly confirmed Smedema’s long-held belief that he was being secretly drugged to impair his cognitive function and make him appear delusional [6]. He interprets this event as evidence of Spanish complicity in the alleged Dutch conspiracy, further solidifying his belief that he is not safe, even outside the Netherlands.

Smedema’s repeated asylum applications to the United States represent a desperate attempt to break free from what he perceives as a system rigged against him. He views the alleged Dutch conspiracy as an insurmountable obstacle to justice in his home country, leading him to seek refuge and validation from a foreign power. While Smedema’s claims have not been independently verified, his experiences highlight the complexities of international legal systems, the potential for abuse of power, and the profound impact of alleged human rights violations on an individual’s life.
