Protest against the police.

On 4 January 2012, an Indonesian court found a boy guilty of stealing a pair of worn-out sandals.

Two of the boy's friends testified in court that he was beaten up by a police officer with a peace of wood, and kicked, causing him to fall into a steep trench.

Sgt. Ahmad Rusdi Harahap claimed the sandals were his and took the teenager to court.

When shown the sandals at the trial, however, Harahap said they were the wrong brand and size.

Thousands of Indonesians have dumped flip-flops and other old sandals at police stations and prosecutor offices to show support for the boy.

There is still a lot of poverty in Indonesia. The rich elite pay very little in tax. American-trained generals still pull the strings.

Indonesia's economy is booming, expanding by 6.5% in 2011

But, if Indonesia suffers from a CIA 'Arab Spring', it will be partly due to the corruption of the Indonesian government, police and military.

On 27 June 2010, Indonesia's Tempo magazine published an article about police corruption, based on leaked documents.

This article showing that six senior police officers had bank accounts containing millions of dollars; in one case more than US$10 million.

Senior policemen have monthly salaries of around US$1600.

What do we know about the police in Indonesia?

The Jakarta post once claimed that over half the crime in Jakarta was carried out by the police and the military.

Indonesia - the next Tunisia?

According to The Jakarta Post, on 8 August 2009 ( C. Jakarta 'safer', but has its danger areas Each district has its own crime story):

In Jakarta, "Kampung Boncos in Tanah Abang ... is renowned as the place to find putaw (low-grade heroin).

"The quiet and upscale Menteng district also has its own 'red' zone, namely Menteng Trenggulun, where people can find shabu-shabu (crystal methamphetamine) dealers.

"Red areas are usually full of criminals, headed by a boss with 'connections' to high-ranked police officers.

"Criminals feel safer doing business in those areas as their boss can 'fix' any legal problems."

Amnesty International released an 84-page report on Indonesia detailing police brutality. (Corrupt police stigma still strong among Jakarta public.)

In 2007, a UN special rapporteur for torture visited Indonesia and found police used torture as a "routine practice in Jakarta and other metropolitan areas of Java".

Timur Prodopo is a top policeman in Indonesia.

He was West Jakarta Police chief in 1998 when four university students were killed in the 1998 riots. (SUHARTO)

He was Central Jakarta Police chief when one student was killed and when the Indonesian Legal Aid Foundation (LBH) office was attacked in 1999.

More recent incidents occurred when he was Jakarta Police chief.

The first incident was on Jl. Ampera when three people were killed.

The second incident was when antigraft activist Tama S. Langkun was ambushed and tortured and no suspects were named. (The Jakarta Post, Oct. 6). (Timur Pradopo's nomination The Jakarta Post)

Indonesia's President Yudhoyono has chosen Timur Pradopo to be the National Police chief.

Is Indonesia run by Mafia-Fascists with links to the CIA and Mossad?


There is a suspicion that the CIA creates the terrorism in Indonesia, and then creates the means to deal with that terrorism.

According to A C MANULLANG, Indonesia's former spy boss, the people around Indonesia's President Yudhoyono (SBY) are CIA.

"SBY is being fooled by the CIA." (CIA Agents Around SBY (Interview with AC Manullang) Free ABB)

The Indonesian counter-terrorism unit "Detachment 88" or "Densus 88" is trained, equipped and funded by America, Australia and other countries with millions of dollars a year.

Reportedly, Densus 88 have attacked peaceful activists in the Moluccas (aka Maluku Islands/Spice Islands).

Reportedly, Densus 88 torture and beat prisoners.

Densus 88 is trained by the CIA, FBI, Australian Special Forces and other intelligence agencies.

Who has a history of attacking churches?

And why might they want to target churches, and mosques, in Indonesia?


Indonesia's president Yudhoyono on the right.

According to the Washington Post, the former chief of staff of the Indonesian army, General Tyasno Sudarto, has denounced the United States; and he has praised China as a model of how to stand up to Washington.

The CIA may want to continue stirring things up in Indonesia.

On 25 September 2011, a bomb attack outside a pentacostalist church in the city of Solo, in Indonesia, killed at least two people.

Note the pyramid on the pentacostalist church in Solo.

Two days before the attack, a priest and a human rights activist warned of a shadowy campaign to stir up violence similar to the recent sectarian clashes in Ambon, in Indonesia's Maluku Islands.

(Activists Warn of Campaign to Foment Sectarian Violence)

Police are working to match the identity of the bomber in Solo with a suspect named Achmad Yosepa Hayat, who is being hunted for his role in the recent Cirebon mosque bombing.

( Solo Suspect May Have Played Part in Cirebon Mosque Bombing: Source‎)

President Yudhoyono has confirmed that the explosion at the church in Solo is linked to the Cirebon mosque bombing in April. (Solo Attack Tied to Cirebon Mosque Bombing: SBY)

There is a suspicion that the CIA's pentacostalists are trying to make Indonesia like Pakistan.

The Tehelka newspaper revealed that, in India, over 100 US Christian evangelical groups were fronts for the CIA. (1 - Tehelka - The People's Paper)

Church in Ambon

William Blum (Indonesia 1957-1958 KH) has reported that the CIA attacked churches in Ambon.

"In the early months of 1958, rebellion began to break out in one part of the Indonesian island chain, then another.

"CIA pilots took to the air to carry out bombing and strafing missions in support of the rebels...

"On a Sunday morning in April, a plane bombed ... a church, which demolished the building and killed everyone inside...


In more recent decades, much of the terror in Ambon has been linked to Christian gangsters, directed by sections of the military, trained by the CIA.

In 2002, Berty Loupatty, the leader of the Christian Coker gang, surrendered to the police. (http://www.infid.be/kopassus_maluku.html)

Berty Loupatty claims that most of the terror in Ambon and Maluku was stage-managed by the military.

Members of the Coker gang said that Kopassus (special forces) soldiers gave them directives, weapons and bombs to carry out every attack (in 2002). (AFP, 8 January 2003)

Most of the top Indonesian generals have been trained by the US military. Some Indonesian generals, such as Suharto, have reportedly been assets of the CIA.

So, in September 2011, activists have warned of a campaign to foment sectarian violence

"In recent days journalists and activists have received text messages - proven to be hoaxes - telling of invented or exaggerated attacks on Christian churches in the country...

"The messages are eerily reminiscent of the rumors that sparked the Ambon clashes on 11 September.

"Seven people died in the violence, which is believed to have been spurred by a text-message rumor that a Muslim man who had died in a traffic accident had actually been tortured and killed by Christians.

"Activist Theophilus Bela told Spero News that he had recently received similar text messages telling of assaults Christian churches in Poso...

Solo Suicide Blast May Be Linked to Ambon Violence: Police

An investigator in Solo’s bomb disposal unit said that the suspected bomber appeared to be about 35 years old, and that the scene was similar to an earlier attack carried out by Sharif, who detonated a bomb at a mosque in Cirebon, West Java, in April.
