Statement Badcuyp

Friends are special, and friends that stand by you are even more so

Amsterdam 17 - 11 -2002

Some times,you may have some one who you think is a friend, and then in the end you find that you have been used, and some times that goes even further and after they have abused your friendship they start to abuse those around you.

For this reason I just want to make this brief statement.

A certain person has since April Been pressuring places around Holland to get me banned from the podiums, telling lies, and also threatening people that I am involved with. There is no truth to any of these allegations. This person does not have any proof, But I can prove with witness's that they are blatant lies.

Yet the Badcuyp as decided to ban me. Without asking me for my side of the story or asking this person for the proof of her allegations the Badcuyp decided that, as I was advertised as being here tonight I would be allowed to perform. But after that my name should never be connected to this place again. This also means that it is effective for the "Vrije Boeken Week" and all the places involved.

I would like to thank Merik and Mirjam for standing by me and putting up with all the abuse that they have received and to you the audience for being here to-night. But I find that due to the hypocrisy of the situation I feel I cannot perform here tonight or ever again unless I get a fair hearing and an apology From the committee of the Badcuyp because what they are doing in fact is propagating the whole evil scenario that as being going on since I was deported from the USA. And like the immigration they don't want to listen or know the real facts.
