Dutch city where parliament, AIVD, HCSS, Cligendael and dozens of European institutes are located.

The Hague is where the Dutch Cabinet, Parliament, the Supreme Court, and the Council of State of the Netherlands are located. Dozens of important institutions and companies vital for the Dutch Deep State are headquartered here, such as Royal Dutch Shell and the HCSS. In terms of geo-political importance, it's surpasses Amsterdam massively.

Background

The city is noted for its very polarized character; a quarter of the city is politicians and politically-aligned institutions while the other half are de facto victims of wage slavery. The most prolific Dutch "terrorist-group" of the 2000s, The Hofstad Network - who murdered a prolific anti-muslim film-maker and were convicted of planning multiple attacks on the parliamentary quarter, Schiphol Airport, politicians and nuclear facilities - operated from less than 2 miles from the parliamentary building.

American Service Members Protection Act

Since the United States is not a member of the ICC in The Hague, the American Service Members Protection Act authorizes the President of the United States to use "all means necessary and appropriate to bring about the release of any U.S. or allied personnel being detained or imprisoned by, on behalf of, or at the request of the International Criminal Court". This authorization led to the act being colloquially nicknamed "The Hague Invasion Act", as the act technically allows the President to order U.S. military action—such as a theoretical invasion of The Hague, the location of the ICC—to protect American officials and military personnel from prosecution or rescue them from custody.

Extremism

The youth workers in the city appear to "recruit and outsource" Dutch youth in the multicultural districts of the city. Multiple workers have been fired and investigated by police as they been linked to Syria and IS. The youth workers and their employer also have been operating in Amsterdam and travelling to Syria themselves, which was revealed by a clandestine research-unit ordered by Amsterdam mayor Eberhard van der Laan. One of the districts is known as responsible for 80% of all Dutch IS-fighters which has resulted in media call The Hague "Jihad-city".

Connections

King Willem-Alexander Ferdinand and his family lives here, continuing the royal tradition. The Dutch division of Operation Gladio operated from the beach-resort of Wassenaar from the 1980s in cooperation with Clingendael and the MIVD located 5 miles from The Hague.

The University of Leiden is located 6 miles from the The Hague. Along its numerous spooks and Deep state operatives are Maria de Goeij, former Dutch Queen Beatrix Armgard, NATO Secretary-General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer and more.

Ironically enough, MP Geert Wilders - who officially lives ^[When?] in hiding at an undisclosed location with a permanent security detail - lives in a borough that directly borders the district of the Hofstad Network and their offspring.

The Club de Berne (CdB) is a deep state milieu described as "a preferred platform for exchange" between secret services, an operational structure that grew out of personal contacts, practically without democratic supervision. Members include the intelligence agencies of the 28 states of the European Union (EU), Norway, Switzerland and Israel, and the US intelligence agencies enjoy “observer status”. Other participating services include Australian ASIO and Canadian CSIS The club maintains an “operational platform” at the headquarters of the Dutch secret service AIVD, here, the services involved exchanged information on measures and dangers in real-time; there are also "joint operations teams in various formats and on various subject areas," as Dutch intelligence director Rob Bertholee noted in a speech.
