Indonesia

    Indonesia is a Soviet style union of seventeen island nations in South East Asia and the Northern Australian Pacific ruled by the Javanese military (TNI) and government from Jakarta. Though Java is resource poor, the other Provinces are rich in natural resources which are harvested by companies owned mostly by the TNI and members of the US Indonesia Society.

    The world's fourth largest nation, Indonesia is the product of the few unpopular militants of the 1920s who were thrust into power during the Pacific war by Tokyo to create a post-war trade partner under the militant's control. Although the Axis leader Sukarno declared himself President of the Republic of Indonesia in 1945; the United Nations instead help create and recognised the United States of Indonesia federation in Dec. 1949, however this federation was then crushed and declared to be a willing part of Sukarno's Republic during 1950.

US Indonesian relationship

    During the 1930s John Rockefeller II and the Standard Oil group were reviewing what mineral wealth the island nations in the East Indies had to offer future companies like Exxon and Newmont and Conoco Philips; and in 1935 they decided to buy a Dutch company through which they could explore if West Papua had any economic minerals. As we know, Rockefeller's Freeport company now operates the world's largest copper & gold mine dumping over 300,000 tons of 'waste' into the Arafura Sea each day.
    In a post war act Skull & Bones society members would be proud of, members of Java's elite were sponsored to US university educations, from whom business guests in New York and Washington during 1949 were promised easy access to the 'wealth of Asia' should the Javanese dominated Indonesian State become a reality. Although the Indonesian military has continued a strong Jihad and anti-western culture resulting in its support of groups like Jemaah Islamiyah, Laskar Jihad and similar; the United States has supported this Republic and military since 1949.
    From 1950 onwards Indonesia demanded possession of West New Guinea, later West Papua. Though the US, Netherlands, and Australian governments for fifteen years could not see the reason for the strength of these demands nor why Indonesia in 1962 threaten to become a communist State unless the US had the Netherlands transfer the West Papuan people's sovereignty to Indonesia, in 1967 the Freeport company finalised its mining contract to open the world's largest mine in West Papua for the world's richest gold and copper deposits which had been covertly discovered in 1936.
    Congress eventually suspended US cooperation with the Indonesian military in 1999 after Indonesian soldiers were caught committing human rights abuses before, during and after East Timor's 1999 vote of independence.
    George Bush upon taking office began campaigning for the US Indonesia Society agenda to resume US support of the Indonesian military, then after 9/11 he augured that the United States must support the Indonesian military to prove that America had a friend in the Islamic world. Although there were anti-US riots and university mobs searching hotels for Americans during the month after 9/11 in Jakarta, these news stories were not reported inside the United States; instead Indonesia has been misrepresented as a stabilising force within Asia.
    In August 2002, two American teachers were killed in an ambush which the TNI claimed was the work of the West Papuan independence movement, but when the corpse of an alleged shooter proved to have been shot over 24 hours before the ambush and dressed for the ambush scene; suspicions arose that the TNI had itself planned the ambush as a means to encourage the Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold copany to continue its illegal payments to the local TNI commander. FBI investigations were impeded by the TNI administration of the region, but were also subject to consider US corporate pressure to find the TNI Innocent of any involvement.
    In 2004 the Papuan shooter went on Australian television claiming he had been paid by TNI officers who also told him which vehicle to shoot into; further he claimed he was willing to surrender himself to the FBI or US government, but not to the TNI or Indonesians.
    During late 2005 George Bush ignored both DoS country reports and Congress's new Section 1115 addressing Indonesian abuses in West Papua in the 2006 Foreign Relations Authorization bill HR2601; instead George Bus has resumed full US ties with the Indonesian military (TNI). At the same time FBI agents Paul Myers and Ron Eiowan approached the Papuan community claiming they were now ready to transport the shooter and any other witnesses to the courts in the United States; arranging to met at Amole Dua hotel in Timika, Myers and Eiowan arrived in a medium sized truck. The shooter, Anthonius Wamang under two US murder indictments since his television testimony, eleven witnesses and Reverend Isak Ondawame were asked to get into the truck by the FBI agents who assured their safety from Indonesian authorities while being transported to the United States.
    Instead the FBI agents have delivered these Papuan witnesses to Indonesian authorities who immediately denounced any TNI involvement in the ambush and began preparations for a quick Indonesian trial and coverup of any TNI involvement. Although the US corporations Exxon, Newmont, Freeport McMoRan, Bechtel, and others are delighted with the return of the US Indonesian military relationship; the victims of 9/11 and the US public may have different views.
