Has the Netherlands escaped a terrorist attack by a group of radical sovereigns? Or was it only a biggest speech of the accused suspects? In the court of Leeuwarden, a first step will be taken on Wednesday in a process that must answer that question.
Conversations about attacks, possession of weapons and raw materials for poison and a document in which violence against the state is approved: it suggests the worst. But some of the delayed suspects say that it was only philosophizing or points to each other.
It is mid -August this year if a group of a few hundred people comes together in the prison in Vught in the pleasant summer sun. Dressed in white, a tuft of people gathered around a scallling sound box. Accompanied by a tambourine, they sing along with the music.
They are protesters. They protest against the prisoning attitude of Arno van Kessel, a Frisian lawyer who is stuck in the terrorist department of the prison in Vught. According to the judiciary, the 62-year-old man is part of a group of eight anti-institutions. Sovereigns, who are opposed to the government and possibly had plans to commit an attack.
For the demonstrators, Van Kessel is primarily a man who dares to take on the state. The lawyer and Coronasceptic has started proceedings against those responsible for the vaccination damage that people believe they have contracted. Among the defendants are Mark Rutte and Hugo de Jonge, but also Bill Gates.
Van Kessel will be arrested on 11 June, just before the first session in the proceedings against the State. Chance? Not according to many protesters present and other followers. They find it proof that Van Kessel came too close to the truth. Van Kessel may no longer act as a lawyer in the following months.

He understands very well why he was arrested. “Rightly so,” says his own lawyer, who wants to remain anonymous until the session of later today in Leeuwarden.

It has everything to do with a car ride from Van Kessel on 6 May this year. On the way back of a meeting of truckers, while while enjoying beer and bitterballen, he is discussed that the NATO summit a month later in The Hague is a good opportunity to demonstrate.

“The real IRA tactic: car bombs and things like that all,” Nieuwsuur quotes one of the suspects.
