“something that was looking so bad, if it made you come for Salah and change your life.. Wallahi that was a blessing from Allah, anything that brings you closer to Allah is a blessing”
Former CIA officer John Kiriakou, on Indonesia 1965 :
> "they literally crafted this narrative that was absolutely untrue, that a Communist Party was going to rise up and kill everyone"
> "military ended up clashing with the Communist Party in Indonesia and one million people died"
> "Several documents of the CIA actually say that it was a model of an operation"
The CIA's own 1968 research study called the killings "one of the worst mass murders of the 20th century". The agency knew exactly what it was looking at.
Then Washington backed Suharto for 32 years.
I keep coming back to this one because it's the case that shaped everything after it, from Chile to the colour revolutions of today.
If the people who ran it called it a success, what exactly were they measuring ?
"Bundaran HI itu objek vital nasional, jantung lalu lintas dan ekonomi Jakarta. Sekali ngeblok situ, langsung Thamrin-Sudirman macet total, orang telat kerja, logistik terlambat, bisnis rugi waktu"
Yeah that's the goals, thank you for explaining.
