Due to the poverty of Johan’s family, the Protestant Pastor visited his family and told his
parents that the family had to baptize him to get rid of poverty. So at the
age of seven, Johan was baptized like John the Baptist baptizing Jesus, with the
holy words from the pastor: “Johan is a boy with a message and vision, but the only thing on his mind is food.”
Johan managed to
stay at work for six months in a row, and during the strongest winter ever
since he started a new job as a bicycle boy and worked for two years in a
poultry shop. In 1963, he started another work in a butchery shop in the
Northern Island of Rotterdam, and after three years, he received his butcher’s
certificate.
1964 – Skilled and
experienced Johan was appointed as a chief in charge of a poultry annex
butchery shop for four years at the age of seventeen. The skills at the latter
place impressed his boss, who advised him to become a surgeon. At the peak of
his career, something terrible happened to Johan. His father disappeared
without showing up again.
Because of that, the event, Johan, as the elder son, became head of the family, taking care of
six younger brothers and a twenty-year-old physically disabled
brother. Under this heavy load, Johan worked as a butcher at the poultry.
In 1969, at the age
of twenty-three, Johan was appointed as a laboratory animal keeper at the
Department of General Surgery in the basements of the Dijkzigt Hospital in
Rotterdam, part of the Erasmus University. Because of his experience with dead
animals and as a butcher, he knew a lot about the anatomy of animals.
1969 – 1976 – During
a period of six years, Johan studied the professions of Laboratory Animal Keeper
and Animal Technology at the University of Leiden, The Netherlands, and graduated
in 1973. From May 1972 till 1976, Johan studied Experimental Microsurgery
at Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and graduated in May 1976.
In 1972, during a
weekly laboratory meeting, Johan van Dongen heard one of his professors say, “Cytomegalovirus CMV. That dangerous virus could be a cross
between flu and a herpes virus, built into a bacterium, and then it looks like
protozoa.”
The words of
Professor Dr. D.L. Westbroek, Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands,
never left Johan, because, during his forty-two years of investigation into the
origin of Ebola and AIDS-causing viruses, he reached the same conclusion. Johan
discovered that those microorganisms were tested predominantly on black
people in concentration camps and in Africa.
In a monomaniac
circumstance, Johan investigated the role of the medical, pharmacological, and military presence of foreign countries in Africa and what they were doing in
their bio-warfare plants in the African Jungle, and why several outbreaks
of horrific diseases took place.
Johan’s knowledge
about medical crimes in Africa was a turning point in his career. He started to
fight and went to court six times, which lasted for five years. After his
dismissal, according to the judgan e because, I of his inconsistent mood, Johan decided
to give his life for the cause of Africa. He didn’t only lose his job and house
but also all his money for paying his lawsuits which brought him into relative
poverty.
“I am satisfied that
I fought a good battle, a battle of truth. My conscience is clear and never
regrets of what I went through. I feel very sorry for those who committed the
crimes, covered them up, and subjected me to such an ordeal. If there is God, then
may God have mercy upon their souls.”
BIOGRAPHY OF WRITER AND JOURNALIST JOEL SAVAGE
Joel Savage is an African-Belgian journalist living and working in Antwerp since the year 2000.
He was the first African journalist to enter the notorious Stuivenberg
Hospital in Antwerp to investigate the high abnormal deaths of Africans at the
hospital.
It was a period when Africans living in Antwerp were scared to visit the hospital because of patients
with a common leg injury, who didn’t come back alive after consultation. There
was something sinister going on of which the African community believes
that Africans were deliberately killed to satisfy the demand of people in the queue for an organ transplant.
What alerted Joel’s
consciousness to accept the challenge of doing the investigation was, he
witnessed a demonstration of Albanians on the same issue because an
Albanian mysteriously lost his life at the same hospital.
The other fact is
historical. King Leopold II of Belgium maimed and killed over 10 million
Africans, including women and children, yet Belgium named streets after him, and above all, built his statue as an honor. Which person in their right mind will do
such a thing when there is no statute of Adolf Hitler for killing six million
Jews?
The whole world
witnessed the brutal murder of Patrice Lumumba in Congo, by Belgium, and the fact
that they lost the country as a colony through independence. Don’t forget about
the Rwanda genocide, which Belgium was responsible for. (You can read about this in
the book called ‘The Shadow Of The Sun’ by Polish writer and journalist Ryszard
Kapuscinski.)
With such evidence revealing that Belgium doesn’t value the life
of an African, I believed the story of the Africans. Indeed, the hospital is
deliberately killing Africans for body organs.
After my investigation, I published the book in Africa as ‘An African in Antwerp,’ and
some years later, I updated it and published it in America as ‘Little
Belgium-Wonderful Experience.’ One of the directors of The City of Antwerp, called Els Bruyndonck, was furious over the publication, calling it stupid.
According to her,
the husband is a journalist and wouldn’t publish such a stupid thing. I
replied: Your husband is a journalist but not an African. Crimes committed
against Africans in Antwerp are never seen in any Belgian newspapers.
The aftermath of the
publication, fear gripped Antwerp. They thought the African community would
attack the hospital, so they quickly sent police to protect the place. They
were there for over two weeks. During their presence, I disguised myself and
visited the hospital thrice to see if I could get ample information from the
conversation of the workers and the police. The place was quiet.
The shocking part of
the story is that, even though they called my publication stupid, the high death
rate suddenly fell, making Stuivenberg one of the safest hospitals for
foreigners. However, there are few Africans today, as soon as you mention the
hospital’s name, cold waves run through their spine. They keep away from
Stuivenberg Hospital.

THE BIRTH AND LIFE
OF JOEL SAVAGE

three sons living in Antwerp, Joel writes regularly online. He has published

write the English version of ‘Aids and Ebola, the greatest crime in medical
history against mankind.’
