In the beginning of June, 2025, a group of people was arrested in the Netherlands. Spread out over the country, eight people were detained in a way appropriate for terrorists. SWAT-teams, special investigative units and detectives were deployed for these arrests. Small villages were shocked to see these massive police forces, coming for elderly people, in their 50's and 60's, who generally led a peaceful life, a bit isolated and distant from society. They were said to be quiet and friendly people, always willing to help out when needed.

So why the violent arrests?

And why the framing in the media?

The media tells us these people are 'sovereigns', to be seen as extremists & terrorists, wanting to overthrow the Dutch government using violence. The media tells us weapons, chemicals, drugs and large quantities of cash were found…

Insiders have told that in reality the police found some firework leftovers from new year, a few hundreds euros in cash and a bottle of thinner and hydrochloric acid… The sovereigns have been detained in complete confinement, meaning they are not allowed any contact with the outside world…

Shocking, isn't it? Before I will explain some more about these so-called sovereigns, I want you to know who was among those arrested.

Meet mr. drs. Arno van Kessel, top lawyer in the Netherlands. One of the critical voices against the government policies during Covid. He became internationally famous when he and his colleague Peter Stassen, filed a lawsuit on Juli 14, 2023 against the State of the Netherlands (Mark Rutte) and those who pulled the strings during the corona crisis, including Dutch politicians Hugo de Jonge, Sigrid Kaag, Wopke Hoekstra, virologist Marion Koopmans, Jaap van Dissel (director of RIVM), Agnes Kant, and Albert Bourla (director of Pfizer), and Bill Gates.
