'''Mark Rutte''' is the [[Dutch Prime Minister]] since October [[2010]], as the successor of [[Jan Peter Balkenende]]. Rutte became the first neo-liberal PM in 92 years, finalizing the [[Dutch deep state]] power grab set-up in the [[1980s]]. During Rutte's presidency, the [[Dutch]] increasingly became a loyal [[US]]-partner in the controversial [[counterterrorism]]-operations, abolished the Dutch "socialist" welfare state replacing it with the [[platformization]] of social services and set-up a - partly corrupt - neocon [[police]] state starting with the ineffective National [[Police]] formed following the [[2009 Queen's Day Attack]]. Rutte is a vocal opponent against the Dutch drug policy<ref>https://nos.nl/artikel/2302599-rutte-wietroker-moet-zich-realiseren-wat-hij-doet.html</ref> and ordered multiple cover-ups earning him the nickname "Telfon-mark" by [[media]] for his tendency to survive numerous scandals.<ref>https://www.ft.com/content/eeeed041-a612-40ad-8d0b-cf07bf1e84c5</ref>

'''Mark Rutte''' is a Dutch politician who was elected [[Prime Minister of the Netherlands]] in October [[2010]], as successor of [[Jan Peter Balkenende]], becoming the first [[neoliberal]] in 82 years and finalizing the [[Dutch deep state]] power grab set-up in the [[1980s]].

Rutte, a vocal anti-drug PM<ref>https://nos.nl/artikel/2302599-rutte-wietroker-moet-zich-realiseren-wat-hij-doet.html</ref> survived multiple cover-ups (by often arguing he has no memory of where or what he did<ref>https://nltimes.nl/2021/04/02/omtzigt-note-pm-ruttes-first-slip-memory</ref>) earning him the name "Teflon-Mark<ref>https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-56611399</ref><ref>https://www.sueddeutsche.de/meinung/niederlande-rutte-omtzigt-1.5257620</ref>" by [[European]] [[media]] for surviving numerous political [[cover-up]]s.<ref>https://www.ft.com/content/eeeed041-a612-40ad-8d0b-cf07bf1e84c5</ref> [[The Netherlands]] was said to have deteriorated into a "[[narco-state]]" by [[The Guardian]] and [[DW]] during his reign.<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jul/03/mob-style-killings-shock-netherlands-into-fighting-descent-into-narco-state</ref><ref>https://www.dw.com/en/are-drug-gangs-threatening-rule-of-law-in-the-netherlands/a-63696546</ref>

Following a new migrant crisis after the [[2022 Russian Invasion of Ukraine]], Rutte's 4th coalition collapsed and he subsequently announced to retire from [[Dutch]] politics in [[2023]]. Despite [[CCM]] painting Rutte's turning his own country into a "narco-state", in [[2024]] he was pushed<ref>https://www.politico.eu/article/nato-eastern-european-union-rutte-secretary-general-commission-russia-ukraine-war-defense/</ref> as new [[NATO Secretary General]], perhaps hinting [[NATO]]'s continued involvement in the [[illegal drug trade]].<ref>see [[NATO#Illegal_Drug_Trade]]</ref>

Rutte, born in [[The Hague]], was the youngest child of a merchant working with the Dutch East India Company (or VOC) in [[Indonesia]]. The first wife of his father was targeted and died during [[World War 2]], as a prisoner of war of the [[Japanese]].<ref>https://www.abc.es/internacional/abci-primer-ministro-holandes-respeta-confinamiento-y-no-despide-madre-enferma-202005261030_noticia.html</ref><ref>https://www.volkskrant.nl/nieuws-achtergrond/het-donkere-hoekje-van-de-vader-van-mark-rutte~bfebfd43/</ref>

After achieving a masters degree in history at [[Leiden University]] in 1992, he joined the youth division of the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy or VVD in Dutch in [[1988]]<ref>https://www.government.nl/government/members-of-cabinet/mark-rutte/curriculum-vitae</ref>. Unsurprisingly, Rutte got selected as a manager for Dutch food concern Unilever where he played a big role in reorganization. During Rutte's time at Unilever he became a skilled and known tough manager, which caused him to be re-shuffled to several divisions and subsidiaries within and around Unilver.<ref>https://www.parlement.com/id/vg9fgoprkxw3/m_mark_rutte</ref> Rutte was awarded for his success with a seat in the national board of the VVD in [[1993]] and became a member of the candidate committee in [[2001]] before finally becoming a member of parliament in [[2002]].

Rutte is known in international media for his tendency to maintain the most lower-class appearance as possible, by cycling to parliament, cleaning his own office or litter during work, and working in a regular below average inner city high [[school]].<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/28/world/europe/rutte-dutch-netherlands.html</ref>

Rutte was trained by deep politician [[Frits Bolkestein]] and his mentor [[Geert Wilders]] during his early years in parliament.<ref>https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:3kuUPL9LWdAJ:https://pvv.nl/index.php/component/content/article.html%3Fid%3D3182:geert-wilders-in-ad-wij-willen-heel-erg-graag-het-kabinet-in+&cd=7&hl=nl&ct=clnk&gl=nl&client=firefox-b-d</ref>

Bolkestein - at that time under fire for his increasing support for [[Israel]], more [[EU]]-[[federalism]] and calling for a tough police apparatus against immigrants - had already left parliament in [[1998]] but became increasingly aligned with Rutte and Wilders their hardened stances following [[9-11]] and the forthcoming integration of the EU, which caused the apparent leaders, [[Jozias van Aartsen]] and Rita Verdonk to become seen as "outdated and old-fashioned" politicians of the "jaded" right. Especially Rutte began giving interviews trying to fill a hole left by assassinated politician [[Pim Fortuyn]].<ref>https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2004/05/21/vvd-in-debat-over-toeters-en-bellen-7686969-a811731</ref>

===Party coup===
 
−
Following deep politician [[Jozias van Aartsen]] resigning after some big losses in Dutch municipal elections, Rutte's party began an internal election for the position of party leader in [[2006]]. Rutte competed against 2 others but his media-appearances made him the preferred winner of the election. Among his vocal supporters was spooky [[Frank de Grave]]. Rita Verdonk turned out to be the only serious opponent. Verdonk was a neocon-version<ref>https://www.politico.eu/article/water-cooler-premier/</ref> of Geert Wilders, and supported by Bolkestein who believed Rutte wanted to let go of the "eurosceptic, migrant-skeptic, welfare-skeptic Dutch conservatism". Bolkestein called for a split in the proposed EU-expansion plans, something Rutte opposed in favor of [[privatizations]] and a "natural market process".<ref>https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2006/05/10/frits-bolkestein-steunt-rita-verdonk-11126889-a1210567</ref>

Verdonk lost the party election against Rutte with 5%<ref>http://www.volkskrant.nl/binnenland/article315410.ece/Rutte_lijsttrekker_VVD</ref>, but received more votes - 67.355<ref>https://www.dutchnews.nl/news/2006/11/tension_mounts_as_vvd_waits_fo/</ref> - from the electorate during the general election of [[2006]], a feat never achieved in Dutch politics, which cause Bolkestein and [[Hans Wiegel]] to call for a new "advisory commission"  to alter the party direction, something fiercely denied by Rutte. From this point - the "traditional conservatives" in the party became permanent critics of Rutte. Verdonk left the party and started a new movement one year later. Rutte also became known for his alleged harsh outbursts in interviews and meetings regarding his MPs. Rutte seemingly hijacked the party and never let loose from this point on out.

===Global Financial Crisis===
 
−
Rutte became increasingly more economically neo-liberal during the late [[2000s]] as a way to stay in power being backed by Dutch and foreign nationals, calling for the abolishment of social benefits of people under 27 in favor of employing these persons - including to homeless and mentally ill - in [[schools]] and [[hospitals]]. During the Dutch 2006 general election, Rutte and his VVD party lost 6 seats in parliament. According to most political pundits, his party and the general public only started to support him after Verdonk left the party and Rutte started attacking Jan Peter Balkenende who became the Dutch face of the [[Global Financial Crisis]].<ref>https://books.google.nl/books?id=5L20DwAAQBAJ&pg=PT106&lpg=PT106&dq=mark+rutte+motie+wantrouwen+kantelpunt+2009&source=bl&ots=fzDBnxD35o&sig=ACfU3U2j881yoyP0cwLyrXIDAZcWW8eOvw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiL5-T0hd_sAhVK3aQKHRcqDCEQ6AEwCXoECAgQAg#v=onepage&q=mark%20rutte%20motie%20wantrouwen%20kantelpunt%202009&f=false</ref>

Rutte won 20,5% in the 2010 Dutch General elections and became the second-youngest PM in Dutch history and the first liberal in 92 years. His partner, the Christian-democrats of former PM Balkenende (who resigned) - held a referendum to block the cooperation with the VVD and Geert Wilders's PVV party. The party-members voted in favor of the cooperation and Rutte first coalition was born. The coalition only lasted 2 years.

Rutte called for "consistently and increasing harsher penalties, sanctions, and freedom in their budget policies, along with an "independent oversight" called the "commissioner for budgetary discipline".

====National Police====

Rutte's coalition formed the national police following the advice from the analytical risk-reports following the [[2009 Queen's Day Attack]] from the [[Dutch Ministry of Security and Justice]], the national police was a merger of the regional chains of commands into a separate national unit.

A decade after the events, it appears to be, the events have increased [[police]] powers which according to internal studies, didn't really have the desired effect and noted the increased ring of command with even classified private security personnel resulted in breaches<ref>https://www.veiligheidsbranche.nl/onderwerpen_kenniscentrum_nl.html?kbaId=195</ref>, with the police able to send random individuals home, telling certain [[dissidents]] to stay home and creating a [[strategy of tension]].<ref>https://www.videoland.com/series/500169/bureau-burgwallen</ref>

Rutte's second coalition was formed with the [[socialists]] of the Dutch Labour Party, a culture shock.

During the [[2010s]] Rutte became an adept of "realpolitik"; practically not following an ideological vision but doing anything that's needed to maintain the status quo. During his second coalition cabinet, Rutte started implementing similar policies seen under [[Ronald Reagan]] in the US, defending it by calling for the end of the welfare state, and the start of the "participation-society".

Other details of this agreement were a secretly agreed "early release". Teeven and Zwagerman obfuscated numerous details and parts of the process, concealing many assets of H. Teeven was known as a "crime-fighter" tackling many drug traffickers that were becoming rich in Amsterdam with the drug trade.<ref>https://www.politico.eu/article/dutch-ministers-resign-over-deal-with-criminal/</ref>

A journalist named Hendrik Jan Korterink was in contact with Nieuwsuur for several classified documents obtained about an infamous corruption case regarding a possibly corrupt national detective unit in the [[1990s]], when this journalist revealed he knew someone that had a copy of the actual deal. Nieuwsuur started investigating this deal and the new Ministry of Security and Justice that Teeven started working for in 2010 responded numerous times that the actual amount of laundered money was much lower than accused by the journalist and that any other "reconstructions and conclusions we will just leave for you to make". Teeven and Opstelten denied multiple times there was any proof left in the Ministry in [[The Hague]], Nieuwsuur kept being prohibited any more info on the case and "recruited" civil servants working in the ministry that all separately confirmed parts of the letter. <ref>https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-31806086</ref>

Rutte and three ministers personally instructed civil servants to deny any knowledge of the deal Teeven made and refused to make his e-mails regarding these requests public, even after Rutte was exposed by civil servants to have ''personally [[e-mail]]ed the responsible investigator at the [[Dutch Minister of Justice and Security]] to tell them the exact amount of the transaction". Meanwhile, three key advisors had already come forward that Rutte knew of the existence of the deal.<ref>https://www.rtlnieuws.nl/nederland/politiek/artikel/195741/rutte-hoge-rekening-voor-fouten-teevendeal</ref>

Rutte has denied having ever received that mail from Teeven informing them about the transaction at all, even when the 2 ministers, one undersecretary, and the speaker of the house resigned in the fallout of this "incident". Rutte himself keeps defending releasing his e-mail server to make sure "servants can discuss matters privately".<ref>https://www.volkskrant.nl/nieuws-achtergrond/nieuwsuur-adviseurs-rutte-kenden-bedrag-teevendeal-rutte-houdt-vol-dat-hij-het-niet-wist~b55d1663/</ref>

Days before the [[2017]] Dutch General Elections, Prime Minister [[Mark Rutte]] was put against a former student<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVwSq236FJk&list=PLs3hxZwPBRHc9hGP6EvwsVEuwIGX04lLM&index=32</ref> - he is a part-time high school teacher - following a diplomatic incident resulting in riots that were noted to have influenced the election. The riots started after Fatma Betül Sayan Kaya - Minister of Family and Social Policies - was denied entrance to the Turkish embassy in [[Rotterdam]] to speak on the topic of a Turkish referendum, as the first [[EU]] country to do so. Rutte and Mayor [[Ahmed Aboutaleb]] and ministers [[Lodewijk Asscher]] and [[Bert Koenders]] denied Kaya entrance as they didn't want the Turkish government to the campaign.

Dutch police, special intervention teams, and SWAT teams followed the Turkish convoy, encircled them, and ordered them to follow a Dutch convoy back to [[Germany]] or the embassy to be closed. Kaya refused for hours with her convoy allegedly threatening to "become martyrs" until she was assaulted by police personnel and being restrained and driven out of the country. Director-general of the AIVD [[Dick Schoof]] confirmed to have personally sent the order to the National Police and Military police to arrest Kaya but denied shooting her and her guards were sanctioned. Mayor Aboutaleb later revealed Rutte, Koenders and he authorized shooting the convoy if needed.<ref>https://nos.nl/artikel/2163162-reconstructie-rotterdam-zelfs-agenten-moesten-dekking-zoeken.html</ref>

The 17-year-old student was most noticeably angered by the statements Rutte made on Dutch TV when being confronted with footage of the Turkish rioters calling the NOS "[[fake news]]" and assaulting the camera crew live on TV. Rutte said in reaction that the Turkish-Dutch citizens should "bugger off" themselves.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LATWDnP6tNs</ref><ref>https://www.vice.com/en_ca/article/8xmzv5/dutch-prime-minister-releases-an-open-letter-wooing-right-wing-voters</ref>

Nieuwsuur put the RIVM under more scrutiny when they revealed hundreds of retirement homes forced their employees to continue working through the pandemic even when having symptoms, as the RIVM didn't have the capacity to organize enough tests. Dozens of deceased seniors are projected to have died because of these scandals. <ref>https://www.geenstijl.nl/tag/nieuwsuur?page=1</ref>

Although calling it "ineffective" at first, the RIVM and Rutte made face masks mandatory for public indoor buildings and schools in the winter of [[2020]].

Describing violent protest against the Dutch [[Covid lockdown]], following the first curfew since [[World War 2]] Rutte called the rioters "criminals" and their acts “nothing to do with fighting for freedom”, on a “one percent” minority opposed to lockdown restrictions."<ref>https://www.ft.com/content/351fa962-ee98-49d7-80c8-dfe73a466991</ref>
 
  
 
In [[2020]], Rutte started advocating for the removal of several [[Eastern European]] countries from the EU following their isolationistic and conservative social policies. In a debate in parliament following the Covid-19 EU recovery fund, Rutte, when being asked if you need to force countries to reform their juridical system to western European standards to be legally able to receive the fund, Rutte responded that the post-[[Covid-19]] "ultimate option is to set up a new EU without [[Poland]] and [[Hungary]] because they don't care about rule of law", calling for the [[European parliament]] to design a new inverse version of [[Article 50]].<ref>https://euobserver.com/opinion/149470</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/CarolineGruyter/status/1303807630293504016?s=20</ref>

In a surprising turn of events, the court of The Hague ruled that the curfew should be lifted immediately on the 16th of February, citing the government of [[Mark Rutte]] was "continuously talked about the implementation, which proved the urgent need to implement it - especially without a parliamentary vote - was deemed a constitutional violation of the Dutch people's privacy". Mark Rutte kept instructing the Dutch to observe the curfew while the case was brought to the court of appeals.<ref>https://www.euronews.com/2021/02/16/the-netherlands-must-lift-curfew-immediately-as-hague-ruling-says-government-response-ille</ref>

In November [[2020]], Rutte wrote a letter to [[Klaus Schwab]], leader of the [[World Economic Forum]], thanking for having been sent his book [[the Great Reset]], saying it was a "high-quality analysis for a better future".<ref>https://rairfoundation.com/epic-smackdown-conservative-mp-exposes-dutch-prime-minister-as-a-great-reset-globalist-must-watch/ saved at [https://web.archive.org/web/20210802094532/https://rairfoundation.com/epic-smackdown-conservative-mp-exposes-dutch-prime-minister-as-a-great-reset-globalist-must-watch/ Archive.org] saved at [https://archive.is/443Qr Archive.is]</ref><ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20210806173439im_/https://rairfoundation.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/E6RNCwAXIAQ9abe-1-803x1024.png</ref><ref>https://www.instagram.com/tv/CRUgagCDWbN/?utm_medium=copy_link</ref>

Upon questions 6 months later regarding knowledge of the ideas of the book or Schwab, Rutte mentioned not knowing the book at all and said to be enjoying watching the fun "[[conspiracies]] that [[9-11]] never happened", seemingly painting WEF as a non-existent entity.<ref>https://twitter.com/wmiddelkoop/status/1473916927315693573/photo/2</ref>

In a continuation of his early policies, Rutte's third cabinet fell in [[2021]] over the conclusions of the parliamentary inquiry over the social benefits policies set out by Rutte in the early [[2010s]]. Rutte ''after being convicted of violating the constitution'' reimplemented his policies at the  Dutch Tax and Customs Administration, which included "targeting" citizens of the basis of race and background accusing them wrongly of fraud, fining them for thousands of Euro's without any investigation with up to 26.000 parents involved. When the parliamentary inquiry concluded Mark Rutte's three cabinets had violated "institutional rights" of citizens, the day after resigning, the Dutch parliament received a report back that simply stated multiple times "for answer on question 4, see question 8" at which question 8 pointed back to question 3. Following the benefits scandal, Rutte was personally charged by 80 parents for 3 acts of prosecutorial malfeasance.<ref>https://www.ad.nl/politiek/tachtig-slachtoffers-doen-aangifte-tegen-premier-rutte-wegens-toeslagenaffaire~a99bd3f4/</ref>

The policy turned Dutch political institutions known throughout Europe for their openness and bluntness into [[compartmentalized]] executive consultants for EU [[deep state milieu]], skilled in [[plausible deniability]]. An example is the resignment of his State Secretary of Justice [[Fred Teeven]] who signed a secret deal with a criminal and denied that happened. Rutte instructed and kept denying the file and written deal of this was destroyed. Even after 5 of his assistants were discovered to actively search for it, the PM refused to hand over his own e-mails.<ref>https://www.ad.nl/nieuws/rutte-blijft-inzage-mails-teevendeal-weigeren~a10467f4/</ref>

===Phone usage===
 +
In [[2020]] a Dutch [[FOIA]] request by newspaper [[The Volkskrant]] revealed Rutte had for years deleted text messages from his phone, after first sending those he considered relevant to civil servants. The prime minister got rid of messages because his phone, an old Nokia, had little storage capacity, the paper said, and it was not until that week that he was given a bigger mobile.
 +
According to the state’s own legal team, Rutte carried out ‘real time archiving’ during the coronavirus crisis and there is no reason to think that there was anything untoward in this.
 +
The paper points out it is difficult to establish whether<ref>https://nltimes.nl/2022/05/19/ruttes-lack-transparency-pattern-opposition-says-deleted-texts-debate</ref> or not the messages were removed in line with government rules on archiving.

Mark Rutte is a Dutch politician who was elected Prime Minister of the Netherlands in October 2010, as successor of Jan Peter Balkenende, becoming the first neoliberal in 82 years and finalizing the Dutch deep state power grab set-up in the 1980s. During Rutte's premiership, the Dutch intensified their war on terror efforts in NATO, introduced big tech's platformization of social services, and set up a corrupt[1][2] national police force following the 2009 Queen's Day Attack. Rutte, a vocal anti-drug PM[3] survived multiple cover-ups (by often arguing he has no memory of where or what he did[4]) earning him the name "Teflon-Mark[5][6]" by European media for surviving numerous political cover-ups.[7] The Netherlands was said to have deteriorated into a "narco-state" by The Guardian and DW during his reign.[8][9]

Following a new migrant crisis after the 2022 Russian Invasion of Ukraine, Rutte's 4th coalition collapsed and he subsequently announced to retire from Dutch politics in 2023. Despite CCM painting Rutte's turning his own country into a "narco-state", in 2024 he was pushed[10] as new NATO Secretary General, perhaps hinting NATO's continued involvement in the illegal drug trade.[11]

“I get so angry reading those articles in Amsterdam where people are snorting 10000 lines of cocaine that are seemingly being used weekly or daily in the big cities, which makes me wonder that those idiots, that do that, those idiots that do that, they are maintaining that system of heavy crime, where Taghi and all those criminal families have made a billion-euro business.”
Mark Rutte (2019)  [12]

Background

Achieved a masters degree in history at Leiden University in 1992, joined the youth division of the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy or VVD in Dutch in 1988[13]. Unsurprisingly, Rutte got selected as a manager for Dutch food concern Unilever where he played a big role in reorganization & became a skilled, known tough manager.[14] Rutte was awarded for the success with a seat in the national board of the VVD in 1993. He became a member of the candidate committee in 2001 and MP in 2002.

Rutte is known in international media for his tendency to maintain the most lower-class appearance as possible, by cycling to parliament, cleaning his own office or litter during work, and working in a regular below average inner city high school.[15] Rutte has a tendency to use Lyndon Johnson's mannerisms and quotes during intense debates and in private conversations.[16][17]

Early Career

Undersecretary

Rutte became State Secretary for Social Affairs and Employment in 2002 to 2004 during the first coalitions of Jan Peter Balkenende. Rutte specially instructed his servants to target Somali residents for social assistance fraud, after Somalis were discovered to be also working in England and also received social benefits in the Netherlands. The civil servants started stopping Somali citizens on the street and decided to audit a man (documents later revealed it was because his facial characteristic pointed to him being Somalian). After the man refused access to his home the city executive council of Haarlem withheld the man's social benefits and his right to receive other benefits entirely.[18]

The Somali man sued the city and the court ruled that the "specific investigation aimed at Somali persons is discriminatory and against the Dutch constitution". Rutte was convicted for "encouraging discrimination on the basis of race", with a particular comment from the court that he "targeted them just because of their background and not their nationality". Rutte furiously rejected any claim that the policies were discriminatory and has done that to this day as he sees it as a form of "combating fraud", calling for a change to the first amendment of the constitution". [19]

“Municipalities should be able to target citizens with a certain background specifically. Seemingly that doesn't seem to be legally possible now. It's about time to change the law”
Mark Rutte (2007)  [20]

President

39:40 "Uri Rosenthal has an excellent relationship with Sergey Lavrov" (after obtaining the Bilderberg effect). - 40:00 "We explained them, the Netherlands is in fact one of the biggest investors in Russia". - 40:15 "When we're building the NATO Missile Shield, it's not against Russia, but Iran - We're working very closely with the US on the issue of Iran".[21]

First Term

Rutte won 20,5% in the 2010 Dutch General elections and became the second-youngest PM in Dutch history and the first liberal in 92 years. His partner, the Christian-democrats of former PM Balkenende (who resigned) - held a referendum to block the cooperation with the VVD and Geert Wilders's PVV party. The party-members voted in favor of the cooperation and Rutte first coalition was born. The coalition only lasted 2 years. The coalition had questionable policies; sending "police-instructors" to Afghanistan, ironic as the previous coalition fell over the continuation of the presence of the Dutch army[22]. Rutte's cabinet implemented a fine for students that failed to obtain their degree without 2 years of delay, which along with removing the standard entrée gift for students, has contributed to a massive increase of student debt[23].

IMF

Rutte placed an OP-ED in the Financial Times in 2011 to implement a new monetary policy to "condition" EU-countries not complying with the western-European budget ideologies similar to those of Guy Verhofstadt and Angela Merkel. Rutte called for "consistently and increasing harsher penalties, sanctions, and freedom in their budget policies, along with an "independent oversight" called the "commissioner for budgetary discipline". Rutte called for "expulsion" as the final solution if a country was completely held in stranglehold but still didn't recover[24]


Second Term

“Vision is like an elephant that robs your view. (...) When I think of the word "vision" I immediately think: go see an ophthalmologist!.”
Mark Rutte [25]

In 2014, Rutte's coalition made being illegal a crime, during the 2015 European refugee crisis[26], and made a new tax on corporations building housing projects, which contributed to illegal renting of those homes through AirBnB in the first few years.[27][28][29]

MH-17

Signing the Rostec Deal with V. Putin.

Rutte called Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad comments in 2019 regarding the forthcoming exclusion of Russia from the investigation into Malaysian Airlines 17 "disappointing" and "confusing". Mohamad remarked, "the Joint Investigation Team's conclusion that Russia was behind the downing is just hearsay", further explaining "From the beginning, this has been a political case, where Russia should end as the culprit.".[30]

Rutte rejected questions from journalists asking why he withdrew sanctions on the maker of the Buk missile system, Rostec. Investigative journalists from Follow The Money revealed Rutte "even signed a new agreement for an office and arms deal" with Rostec, giving them an unoccupied office in the financial district of Amsterdam.[31][32][33] In fact, the Dutch were the only ones that did not comply with the US organized list of 92 Russian companies sanctioned.[34]

Iraq

Apart from the statement that being outed as the country responsible for the most deaths in one year in Syria is not relevant to the question "should a country stay there", how can the media have more information of the biggest Dutch foreign bombardment since half a century[35]?

The Dutch Department of Defence acknowledged "the high probability" of at least 74 civilian casualties in November 2019 in at least two separate bombings in 2019[36]. Defence Secretary Jeanine Hennis informed Foreign Affairs minister Bert Koenders and Prime-Minister Mark Rutte in June 2015, but both had no memory of the conversation taking place in 2018.[37]

“I can't fake a memory I don't have”
Mark Rutte (2019)  [38]

Third Term

Brexit

“I'm totally, totally, totally against referendums on multilateral agreements.”
Mark Rutte [39]

Rutte was revealed in 2018 to have made secret agreements to abolish the dividend tax - costing 2 billion Euro's of the Dutch taxpayer's money - to stimulate Dutch multinationals located in the UK to relocate their HQ to Dutch soil. Rutte denied any reasoning for this "win-win" form of tax evasion to be placed into coalition agreements, even when it was nowhere to be found in election-programs.[40][41] Rutte survived a censure vote after an FOIA-request revealing Unilever and Shell requested this policy to be placed in the party program of the VVD, Rutte told parliament "he has no memory of making those deals".[42]

Narco-State

The Guardian in 2018 reported that "The Netherlands is starting to resemble a narco-state with the police unable to combat the emergence of a parallel criminal economy, a report from the Dutch police association has warned".[43] The Dutch police in drug capital Amsterdam was noted by investigators to be heavily infiltrated by the leading European drug criminals, who started executing journalists, such as Peter R. de Vries in 2021.[44]

“We have a Moroccan mafia problem. (...) We aren't trying to cover it up, but we do see an over-presentation of Moroccan people in these crimes rates.”
Mark Rutte (2019)  [45]

Syrian NLA Program

Rutte being surprisingly questioned about his leaked state secret Syrian funding program. (original video title: "Blik op Nos Dutch jeeps for Syria")[46]

Nieuwsuur revealed on the 10th of August 2018 that the Dutch were actively supporting "22 rebel groups in Syria the Dutch government has declared at least one a terrorist organization" at least since 2015 in the form of outfits (not declared with what purpose) and pick-up trucks in a "counter-terrorism" program for "non-lethal assistance". Nieuwsuur decided to publish their investigation after the Dutch Public Prosecutor was trying to sentence a man for war crimes that had fought for one of these groups. Nieuwsuur actually put the Dutch official narrative of "only supporting moderate opposition groups" into question as every group was entangled with a more violent one. The research found several to this day classified documents with over 100 rebels and at least 6 groups receiving Dutch support including satellite-phones, laptops, mattresses, backpacks and camera's with the help of Turkish company Condor and Washington D.C based company Creative Associates, both alleged SDS front groups.[47] Rutte tried to block his coalition partners as well as the Dutch Military prosecutor from investigating the Non-Lethal-Assistance Program.[48]

AIVD

An advisory referendum was called on the 2018 Dutch Intelligence and Security Services Act, after a campaign to obtain sufficient support declarations for a referendum was initiated by a group of students at the University of Amsterdam concerned about the sweeping surveillance powers granted to the General Intelligence and Security Service or AIVD under the new law. The new act made it legal for the AIVD to set-up unique non-removable DNA-databases, to infect computers in a network or proximity of another pc to hack a target computer, and share hacked information with foreign entities without any information what or to who the information was sent.[49] The majority voted against the act but the law was revised very slightly but ratified in 2018 after a campaign by Rutte and the AIVD directors.[50]

Covid-19

Full article: Marie-Anne Tan-De Sonnaville

Rutte's government had a lot of opposition is parliament and from scholars in the Dutch COVID lockdown. Describing violent protest against the Dutch Covid lockdown, following the first curfew since World War 2 Rutte called the rioters "criminals" and their acts “nothing to do with fighting for freedom”, on a “one percent” minority opposed to lockdown restrictions."[51] Rutte's coalition was revealed to be paying influencers for a total and minimum of $80,000 on social media outlets to post "positive comments about the Covid-19 lockdown to pressure their user base of children aged 14 to 19 to follow these rules". Some of these revolted later on.[52][53]

Dutch PM Mark Rutte breaks own coronavirus handshake rule

In 2020, Rutte started advocating for the removal of several Eastern European countries from the EU following their isolationistic and conservative social policies. In a debate in parliament following the Covid-19 EU recovery fund, Rutte, when being asked if you need to force countries to reform their juridical system to western European standards to be legally able to receive the fund, Rutte responded that the post-Covid-19 "ultimate option is to set up a new EU without Poland and Hungary because they don't care about rule of law", calling for the European parliament to design a new inverse version of Article 50.[54][55]

The debate was quoted in an unusually great amount of known media-outlets, eerie being promoted as a push to advance the EU to a new "complete single European market", apparently calling for a new east-west divide ending in a Cold War 2.0 after seizing all financial reserves of the accused countries, that is.[56]

World Economic Forum

In November 2020, Rutte wrote a letter to Klaus Schwab, leader of the World Economic Forum, thanking for having been sent his book the Great Reset, saying it was a "high-quality analysis for a better future".[57][58][59] Upon questions 6 months later regarding knowledge of the ideas of the book or Schwab, Rutte mentioned not knowing the book at all and said to be enjoying watching the fun "conspiracies that 9-11 never happened", seemingly painting WEF as a non-existent entity.[60]

Dutch Childcare Benefits Scandal

“My political career is a concatenation of judgemental errors.”
Mark Rutte (2018)  [61]

In a continuation of his early policies, Rutte's third cabinet fell in 2021 over the conclusions of the parliamentary inquiry over the social benefits policies set out by Rutte in the early 2010s. Rutte after being convicted of violating the constitution reimplemented his policies at the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration, which included "targeting" citizens of the basis of race and background accusing them wrongly of fraud, fining them for thousands of Euro's without any investigation with up to 26.000 parents involved. When the parliamentary inquiry concluded Mark Rutte's three cabinets had violated "institutional rights" of citizens, the day after resigning, the Dutch parliament received a report back that simply stated multiple times "for answer on question 4, see question 8" at which question 8 pointed back to question 3. Following the benefits scandal, Rutte was personally charged by 80 parents for 3 acts of prosecutorial malfeasance.[62] MP Pieter Omtzigt called all branches of government corrupt including the media, linking them to an intimate gang, sketching an Operation Mockingbird-like society.[63]

Omzigt noted other cover-ups in the affair, including the civil servant who turned whistleblower being fired and the General Data Protection Regulation being used by the government to request data about tenants, share them with every private entity they deemed could get some tax benefits back to them, and after 20000 of families were already or on the brink of being declared bankrupt, Mark Rutte and his secretaries at the ministry personally visited the Tax and Customs administrations, pressuring for maintaining the same ruthless line, while trying to form a plan how to keep the government for resigning in June 2019, one year before the parliamentary inquiry.[64] Something Rutte failed to explain in parliament.

Murder plot?

On 28 September 2021, politician Arnoud van Doorn was arrested for a suspected plot to assassinate the Prime Minister.[65]

Omzigtgate

Full article: Pieter Omtzigt

Rutte was revealed to have pushed to remove critical MP Pieter Omtzigt who was a vital pin in bringing his third coalition to its knees. Rutte won a non-confidence vote with only 3 votes after lying to the Dutch public and parliament that he didn't mention Omtzigt to be "removed and placed elsewhere" in secret leaked formation documents for his 4th coalition, remarking he has "no active memory" of these parts of the meetings.

Removal of Mona Keijzer

Cabinet minister Mona Keijzer was fired by Rutte after she criticised vaccine passports. Keijzer was also part of the fraction in the CDA party supporting MP Pieter Omtzigt in the leadership election and argued the party failed to investigate serious signs of an "unfair election" process, which also included allegations of fraud.[66] This was the first time a minister was fired in 40 years and it set a record for "Rutte 3" having lost 11 ministers.[67]

Hofstadgroup

Respected site ISGP pinpointed that a lot regarding the informants and some members of the Hofstadgroup led by figures such as Jason Walters doesn't add up. Several witnesses, were protected under HUMINT-laws, hinting them to be spooks for the AIVD.[68] Several former members of this "terrorist" group are now "counterterrorism" experts on Dutch TV or consultants for political parties, including at least one for Mark Rutte's VVD party.[69]

Influence

Mark Rutte NATO SG lobbying.png
Even after - according to commercial media - all written reports only were to be cleared to document after checking for "sensitive remarks", the servants themselves have started a game under Rutte to hide as many documents requested as possible. Or falsely documents by wrongly labelling them "confidential" or state secret. A crime for which nobody has been convicted yet, signifying the close-knit cooperation of the Dutch media, parliament and the deep state.

“It is not up to me to determine what is or is not understandable to the voter.”
Mark Rutte (2023)  [70]

At the end of the 2010s the Rutte doctrine became known as the "need to know" policy Rutte implemented into ministries that internal discussions among civil servants and with ministers do not need to be shared with journalists and with the Lower House. The policy turned Dutch political institutions known throughout Europe for their openness and bluntness into compartmentalized executive consultants for EU deep state milieu, skilled in plausible deniability. An example is the resignment of his State Secretary of Justice Fred Teeven who signed a secret deal with a criminal and denied that happened. Rutte instructed and kept denying the file and written deal of this was destroyed. Even after 5 of his assistants were discovered to actively search for it, the PM refused to hand over his own e-mails.[71]

According to Rutte, this is to be able to discuss matters freely without fear of being stared at for ill-advised ideas. Critics accuse that this contributes to a culture of concealment and deception. The doctrine was based on a guideline established in 2002 by Dutch Minister of the Interior Klaas de Vries. This stated that personal policy opinions of civil servants were not covered by the obligation to inform. Formally, the guideline had remained unchanged, but according to critics, its use had changed, such as the fact that more documents were omitted for that reason.[72] The term first surfaced in a text message from a civil servant to Rutte, which was discussed during the interrogation of Rutte and others in the child benefits scandal.[73]

Phone usage

In 2020 a Dutch FOIA request by newspaper The Volkskrant revealed Rutte had for years deleted text messages from his phone, after first sending those he considered relevant to civil servants. The prime minister got rid of messages because his phone, an old Nokia, had little storage capacity, the paper said, and it was not until that week that he was given a bigger mobile. According to the state’s own legal team, Rutte carried out ‘real time archiving’ during the coronavirus crisis and there is no reason to think that there was anything untoward in this. The paper points out it is difficult to establish whether[74] or not the messages were removed in line with government rules on archiving. In the main, job-related correspondence should not be destroyed, the paper said.[75]

Deep State Connections?

In 2019, the Atlantic Council awarded Rutte with the Global Citizens Award.[76] Politico placed Rutte at 4th - ahead of António Costa and Guy Verhofstadt - on a shortlist to be watching in the years ahead in Europe in 2018.[77] Joël van der Reijden of ISGP reports his family to have been befriended by bodyguards of Rutte, suspecting one to be an AIVD informant.[78] Mabel was Oranje was rumored in 2019 to be the girlfriend of Rutte. Mabel, a former lover of Dutch drug kingpin Klaas Bruinsma - who was linked running a pedophile network through the Dutch royals, next to his associates stealing and using Operation Gladio weapons and explosives - is an alleged ex-girlfriend during Rutte's student years.[79]

Pieter Omtzigt“Long I've objected comparing Malta and the Netherlands. But here something else is not functioning. That is power and opposing power. There is such an intimate connection between the coalition and parliament, between the parliament and the media, between the parliament and the justice system. If you ask difficult questions, you become the problem. There is something wrong with the checks and balances. And it goes further. The criminal justice system doesn't work anymore. All the NGOs that hog the government's money, all don't work anymore. Know what happens nowadays? They don't dare to speak, because the government will kill their subsidy. We've organized or system so precisely that our flock of politicians values the party-chairman more than the electorate.”Pieter Omtzigt19 January 2021
Pieter Omtzigt“I've stopped with that case after Sybrand Buma stormed into my office. Because he had been given an instruction from Mark Rutte that I had to stop with the questions in parliament about Joris Demmink.”Pieter Omtzigt10 October 2020
Mabel van Oranje“Mabel had attempted persistently to pocket the chairman of the JOVD, Jan Peter Balkenende's state secretary for social affairs Mark Rutte. Rutte's administrative colleagues at his party were so shocked by her stalk-ish behaviour that they protected their friend and chairman. Mabel appeared with the chauffeur of Klaas Bruinsma completely unannounced and ordered us to bring her to Mark's room. We staunchly denied because she was stoned as a shrimp and a complete mess.”Mabel van Oranje
