They did sorta start the mega corporation, and speculative trading. Both of which kinda ruined the world (assuming capitalism isn’t necessary for innovation, which I think probably true).
For those not in the know: Prince Bernhard (deceased), husband to former queen Juliana (d), was infamous for his (heavily debated) membership of the Nazi party and first chairman of the (also heavily debated) Bilderberg conference.
Aside from that, the royal family is very, very rich and has a lot of influence over the world. Part of their wealth is supplied by the Dutch government, without clear numbers and lots of misrepresentation on the yearly budgeting, a government that is by the way nicely massaged by the many global companies having a nice office in the Dutch tax haven.
So how does that make the Dutch control the aliens? If there really are intelligent super beings with incredible technologies visiting our planet and influencing things, why would the Dutch be able to control them any better than Israel or the US gov?
My housemate is dutch. He will find a dutch connection to everything on the planet. My coffee is dutch, the stockmarket is dutch, cheese sandwiches are dutch, the computer chips are dutch, nasi goreng is dutch, it's all fucking dutch in his mind. If aliens landed he would probably claim that they came because of the dutch.
He would also like everyone to remember that the nazi's stole the dutch people's bicycles and how dare anyone not know this.
I don't think they're necessarily saying their housemate is wrong. I took it as them just pointing out how it gets old fast. Which is also my interpretation of what the meme represents.
It's not that Israel controls the US Gov't - it's that having them as an ally in the Middle East is so valuable that the government is willing to protect them even when they're in the wrong
Sorry, made a translation mistake. Didn't bother fixing it and just waited the obligatory funny quip. Dutch were totally saints and didn't do anything similar for sure.

The strings attached to The Dutch are controlled by the student council of some high school in Japan.

But wouldn't daisy-chained puppets like this be increasingly difficult to control the further from the start you go?
I don't think it's possible to get anything below Aliens to do anything but flop around wildly.

Well, to be honest, apart of the aliens thing, everything you said is true.
So how is your housemate wrong?
And aliens? That's an American thing. Only Americans are abducted and only America gets attacked by aliens in the movies. (And South-Africa)
