Breaking the Social Contract

"It is forbidden to deny a certain history, yet it is permitted to unleash it. I am living proof of a state that employed Nazi methods while celebrating its own morality. In the silence of society, the destruction of the 'Untermensch' persists"

The Cycle of State Violence: From Foster Care to Police Terror

The extreme brutality encountered in a police station in 1986, five years after I left the Dutch youth care system, is the logical continuation of a state-engineered assembly line—directly comparable to the American "Foster-to-Prison Pipeline" . In this systemic cycle, the state first strips children of their family, childhood, and safety and human dignity.

When these broken children enter adulthood, the police do not view them as citizens deserving empathy, support and protection, but as "societal waste" generated by their own institutions and government. This became clear in their explicit language both targeting on "deviance", "a background in foster care" and '"a different species against which we wage war".

By weaponizing Nazi-based rhetoric the police department in Zwolle functioned as the ultimate clean-up crew for the Dutch government. Without protection from the LGBT or any protection from the government after state care, the Zwolle police regarded me as "One of those"; classifying me as Untermensch.

Violations of ECHR3

The violations in the Zwolle police station in 1986 (January 22-January 30) included systematic torture, sexual education, educational rape, naked interrogation, dehumanization, deprivation techniques like day and night music and light, abstinence from clothes, food and drink, immediate death threats and death threats by others, the use of physical violence with lasting injury, and use of Nazi language and antisemitic rhetoric as psychological terror- all used by many police officers. I was told the police would kill me if I ever spoke about their activities as "No one will mind if a man is murdered, society hates men".

A corrupt police officer of Zwolle police was involved for personal reasons. After 32 years the Dutch police delegate admitted such violations in presence of the National Ombudsman.

The Schadefonds Geweldsmisdrijven (Dutch government Compensation fund of Violence) fully recognised the lasting psychological and physical injury caused by the Dutch police in the highest category(6), but merhed thid new,vdearate case with the former recognition about violence in the youth care system to avoid financial compensation and reparative justice.

Without a criminal record there is no rehabilitation or psychological help, no support. Even with full recognition by the state, victims of this institutional violence are left in a complete void. The Dutch government still shows deep contempt for victims of their own violence and the lifelong consequences.
