The government is owned by them. Aruba was bought up by the Casa Nostra years ago when they were thrown out of Montreal. They just relocated to a good place to launder money, get in on the drug trade. Pablo Escobar is brother in law to the two Casa Nostra who bought the place up.
And the rich people in Aruba made their money from the crumbs. Read that long posted link,,it tells the story.
I will read it/print it/and pass it around! Co-workers just came back from Aruba on Tuesday saying how nice the locals are, etc. I was there 25 yrs ago and I agreed w/them. Others are thinking of going next year - since this was an 'isolated' incident, they said.
NOW it's a whole different story. Thanks.
