CHILDREN KIDNAPPED AND BRAINWASHED BY THE MILITARY

Some of the 'kidnapped' children.

Children were kidnapped by the military.

Many of the children were brainwashed.

Many of the generals involved in the kidnapping were trained at Fort Bragg and Fort Benning in the USA. (Masters of Terror)

General Zacky Anwar Makarim, who had ten East Timorese children at his house.

With the approval of President Ford and Henry Kissinger, Indonesian invaded East Timor in 1975.

Indonesia's General Zacky Anwar Makarim was in East Timor in 1999, running murderous militias.

East Timor, which has huge oil reserves off its coast, was occupied by Indonesia from 1975-1999

Between 1975 and 1999, thousands of children from East Timor were kidnapped and secretly taken to Indonesia.

General Zacky Anwar Makarim had up to 10 of these Timorese children living at his house.

They were not sent to school.

One of the children, Hercules Rozario Marcal, became a notorious gang leader in Jakarta.

Hercules, the gangster, reportedly worked closely with the Indonesian military.

One of the general's children was Alfredo Reinado, who wept as he was forcibly removed from his mother in East Timor in 1978.

He became became a military officer, working for Indonesia.

East Timor became independent after a vote in 1999, massacres by Indonesian militias, and the eventual arrival of Australian troops. Website for this image

In 2008, after East Timor became independent, Alfredo Reinado was shot dead during an attempted assassination of East Timor's President Jose Ramos-Horta.

"REBEL leader Alfredo Reinado was shot dead at least 30 minutes before East Timor's President Jose Ramos Horta was attacked outside his house."

Presumably, Alfredo Reinado had been turned into a brainwashed patsy.

Some of the kidnapped Timorese children were forced to work in slave-like conditions while others grew up with the families of soldiers.

Australian academic, Helene van Klinken, has published the first detailed account of the kidnapped children.

Her new book, Making them Indonesians, is published by Monash University Publishing.

Starving Timorese, after the Indonesian invasion of their country.

Indonesian invaded East Timor in 1975, with the support of Kissinger and Ford.

That was when the genocide began and at least one third of the population of East Timor died.

At least a third of the population of East Timor died, thanks to President Ford and Henry Kissinger.

In East Timor, Indonesia's Kopassus regiment, trained by the United States, used the tactics of the US Phoenix program in South Vietnam: systematic rapes, tortures and executions.

The US government and its allies turned a blind eye to the terror in East Timor.

The USA's Admiral Blair was a friend of the killer generals.

When journalists spoke out, they were murdered and governments remained silent.

Among the journalists who died were:

The Financial Times's Sander Thoenes,

Australia's Greg Shackleton and Tony Stewart,

Britain's Brian Peters and Malcolm Rennie,

and New Zealand's Gary Cunningham.

(journalists: Western journalists murdered by Indonesian military ...).

Malcolm Rennie

After the CIA toppled Indonesia's President Suharto, in 1998, a vote was arranged for East Timor.

The Indonesian military hoped to use its militias to intimidate the East Timorese into voting to stay with Indonesia.

But the Timorese, in 1999, bravely voted for independence.

Indonesian militias then began murdering the East Timorese, and the USA and Australia turned a blind eye.

General Prabowo

American trained General Prabowo is said to be a friend of the CIA.

Domingos Guterres, from East Timor, alleges that in 1989 he was tortured for 35 days by soldiers under General Prabowo's command.

Guterres claims General Prabowo personally carried out acts of torture.

In the 1983 Kraras massacres in East Timor, about 300 people are believed to have been buried in mass graves after a series of executions that the locals say were carried out under General Prabowo. ( Torture evidence mounts against Indonesian general )


East Timor. yeowatzup

A Catholic missionary gave an eyewitness account of a massacre, carried out by the Indonesian military, in East Timor, in 1981:

"Not even pregnant women were spared: they were cut open...

"They did what they had done to small children the previous year, grabbing them by the legs, and smashing their heads against rocks...." (Two Indonesias Two Americas)

The CIA and the Pentagon have trained Indonesia's Top Brass: Lt Gen Johny Lumintang (brought to the USA for training in 1989), Lt Gen Prabowo Subianto (trained at Fort Benning), General Panjaitan, General Kiki Syahakri....


Now the really interesting bit concerning Alfredo Reinado (brainwashed patsy) and his friendship with the Australian military.

The following is a short extract from an article by 'churchofnobody'.

http://churchofnobody.blogspot.com/2008/02/no-need-to-thank-us.html

SBS journo John Martinkus, an old East Timor hand and johnny-on-the-spot, investigated Reinado's uprising and found that it was complete bullshit...

Reinado... lobbed up on the TV occasionally, variously being ferried about in Australian helicopters or at his home with Australian SAS soldiers as escorts.

Australians are much given to modesty and the troops were not unreasonably shy in the media spotlight.

East Timor would appear still to be a colony.

Later when busybody Portuguese peacekeepers poked their nose in and arrested Reinado, all the Australian supervised guards went walkabout.

And so did Reinado and fifty of his fellows.

All this across the road from an Australian Army base.

The devil! And then, there he was back in Australian choppers again. Sure, why not? We declare him the Scarlet Pimpernel reborn. (http://churchofnobody.blogspot.com/2008/02/no-need-to-thank-us.html)

It seems that Australia is making sure that it controls East Timor and its oil and gas.

HOLBROOKE - ONE OF THE BAD GUYS

Admiral Dennis Blair and Genocide

Admiral Dennis Blair 'lied' about church killings.

THE CIA, CHRISTOPHER BOYCE AND AUSTRALIA ...

Admiral Dennis Blair 'lied' about church killings.

Blair, whom Obama wants as his Intelligence chief.

Distinguished author Allan Nairn, 22 January 2009, writes:

US Intel Nominee Lied About '99 Massacre. US, Church Documents Show Adm. Dennis Blair Knew of Church Killings Before Crucial Meeting.

On the eve of his Senate confirmation hearing (Jan. 22, 2009), new information has emerged showing that Adm. Dennis Blair - President Obama's nominee for US Director of National Intelligence - lied about his knowledge of a terrorist massacre that occured before a pivotal meeting in which Blair offered support and US aid to the commander of the massacre forces.

The massacre took place at the Liquica Catholic church in Indonesian-occupied East Timor two days before Blair met face-to-face with the Indonesian armed forces commander, Gen. Wiranto

(the massacre occurred on April 6, 1999; Blair and Wiranto met April 8).

A classified US cable shows that rather than telling Wiranto to stop the killing, Blair invited Wiranto to be his guest in Hawaii, offered him new US military aid, and told the Indonesian general that he was "working hard" on his behalf, lobbying the US government to restore US military training aid for Indonesia.

General Wiranto, friend of the Pentagon.


(That training had been cut off by Congress after the 1991 Dili, Timor massacre; for an account of the US cable and the April 8, '99 Blair-Wiranto meeting see News and Comment posting of Jan. 6, 2009 at http://www.allannairn.com/2009/01/admiral-dennis-blair-prospective-obama.html).

Blair's support at that crucial April 8 meeting buoyed Wiranto, and his forces increased the Timor killings, which came to include new attacks on churches and clergy, mass arsons, and political rapes.

(For a detailed chronology based on a UN report, see News and Comment posting of Jan. 9, 2009 at http://www.allannairn.com/2009/01/blair-church-massacre-continued.html).

Wiranto's militias, who murdered Christians. At least one third of the population of East Timor died after Kissinger and Ford, in 1975, gave Suharto their approval for an Indonesian invasion. The USA continued to support Indonesia's military at the time of the 1999 referendum on independence.


Since I disclosed the contents of that Blair-Wiranto meeting in a report filed in 1999 (see Allan Nairn, "US Complicity in Timor," The Nation, Sept. 27, 1999, reprinted in the Jan. 6 '09 News and Comment posting referenced above), Blair has defended himself by claiming that he went into the meeting with Wiranto not yet knowing of the Liquica massacre.

The Associated Press reported this month, in a January 9 dispatch: "Blair has said he only learned of the massacre a few days after the meeting."

(Pamela Hess, "Obama to finalize national security team Friday," Associated Press, Friday Jan. 9, 2009, 4:22 am ET; Blair made the same claim to the Washington Post: Dana Priest, "Standing Up to State and Congress," September 30, 2000).

East Timor. The USA reportedly trained the bad guys.


But now, contemporaneous records have emerged - from the US Embassy in Jakarta, and from the Catholic Church - showing that the massacre was publicly described by Timor's Bishop one day before the Blair-Wiranto meeting, and that while Blair was in Jakarta preparing for the meeting, US officials who were there with him were discussing the massacre in graphic detail.

One written message from a US official even noted: "In the face of the scores of horrible slash wounds at Liquica, there are no surgeons to treat them."

The US official was referring to the fact that, as had been disclosed at the Timor Bishop's April 7 press conference, dozens of refugees sheltering in the church had been hacked to death with machetes, but as Blair and Wiranto prepared to meet, some of those slashed were still alive.

Another Jakarta dispatch by senior US personnel written prior to the Blair-Wiranto sitdown refers explicitly to Blair's presence, to his impending meeting with Wiranto, and, crucially, to the detail and rough death toll of the already-known Liquica massacre.

"[W]e have the CINCPAC here today (Command[e]r in Chief of the Pacific]," the message said, referring to Blair by title; and it stated, in regard to what Wiranto's men had done: "Now we may have 40 people - who were cowering in a church - dead."

Bishop Carlos Ximenes Belo, the Nobel Peace Prize winner, had made the key facts of the massacre clear in his April 7, 1999 press conference, which took place the day before the Blair-Wiranto meeting.

Belo was accompanied by Father Rafael Dos Santos, the Liquica pastor who survived the massacre. Their authoritative accounts received same-day coverage in the Western and local press and were also recounted in church bulletins and in US intelligence and diplomatic traffic.

For Blair to claim that he did not know of these materials or his US colleagues' discussions taking place all around him is to strain credulity to the breaking point, especially since he's being nominated as intelligence chief, and since his meeting with Wiranto was cleared by Washington precisely to address the Timor crisis.

Bishop Belo and Father Dos Santos said the following in their publicly broadcast remarks. This account is excerpted from "Timorese Bishop says more than 25 killed in church massacre," DILI, East Timor, April 7 [1999], (AFP):

"Nobel peace laureate Bishop Carlos Ximenes Belo accused Indonesian-backed militia on Wednesday [April 7] of massacring more than 25 people in East Timor outside a church.

"Belo was speaking at a press conference with Father Rafael Dos Santos who described how refugees sheltering in his church and home at Liquisa [an alternate spelling of Liquica], 30 kilometers (20 miles) west of the Timorese capital Dili, were hacked down with machetes.

"Dos Santos said Indonesian mobile brigade police stood behind the militia during the attack, and fired into the air.

"When the attack began 'people ran for cover wherever they could,' he said. Some ran into his house and some into the church before being forced out when troops fired teargas into the buildings. 'When they came out of the church, their eyes streaming, they were mown down, hacked to death with machetes, by the Besi Merah Putih (Red and White Iron militia),' he said ...


East Timor by yeowatzup

"Belo travelled to Liquisa earlier Wednesday to visit the site of the attack with Indonesia's East Timor military commander Colonel Tono Suratman. 'I have a paper from the military commander that there were 25 bodies inside the priest's house,' he said, 'but according to other witnesses outside around the church there were other bodies. I don't know exactly how many.'

"Belo had been quoted by the Portugese news agency Lusa on Tuesday [April 6] as saying he had first been informed by the Indonesian military of the deaths of 40 people in the church and five in the priest's house... 'Firstly I am sad, for what happened in Liquisa ... secondly I am ashamed to be a citizen of the (Indonesian) republic. It has taken us back to the middle ages,' Belo said."

We shall now see where the Senate takes us.

(For another contemporaneous -- April 7, pre - Blair/Wiranto meeting -- public report of the massacre see the report of Yayasan HAK, the leading independent East Timorese human rights group, summarized at http://etan.org/et99/april/3-10/6yayasan.htm).

Readers can reach the US Senate Intelligence Committee, which is holding today's confirmation hearing on Blair, through the US Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121.

Via the switchboard they can also reach the offices of Senators on the committee. Key members include the committee chair, Sen. Diane Feinstein, the ranking Republican, Sen. Kit Bond, Sen. Ron Wyden, who has said he will question Blair about Timor, Sen. Russ Feingold, a longtime critic of US aid to the Indonesian military, and Sen. Barbara Mikulski, who has also criticized the US policy.

Hero Journalist J. A. Belo Being Persecuted, Needs Support.

Did Obama Aide Admiral Dennis Blair Lie to Congress?

US Intel Nominee Lied About Church Murders

~~

Holbrooke is one of the bad guys.

Holbrooke - linked to the deaths of up to half of the population of East Timor.



Richard Holbrooke is now special envoy for Pakistan and Afghanistan under the Obama administration.



Holbrooke is a former Peace Corps official, and investment banker. The Peace corps is believed to be a front for the CIA. Holbrooke is a member of the board of directors of the Council on Foreign Relations in New York.

The real Karadzic - telling the truth about Holbrooke



Radovan Karadzic has told the UN court the US tried to assasinate him



1. In August 2009, Karadzic told the UN court that Richard Holbrooke, the former United States Assistant Secretary of State, granted him immunity from prosecution in 1995.



In court, Karadzic accused Holbrooke and others of trying to "liquidate" him.



It has been alleged that Slobodan Milosevic, the former Serbian President and ally of Karadzic, was murdered by agents of the USA.



2. Mohammad Sacirbey, former Bosnian foreign minster, says that US diplomat Richard Holbrooke did make a deal with Serb leader Radavan Karadzic.



The Holbrooke-Karadzic deal meant Karadzic dropping out of public life in return for his war crimes indictment being scrapped. ( Press TV - Karadzic-Holbrooke deal confirmed )



Sacirbey says that top US diplomat, Robert Frowick, head of the OSCE mission in Bosnia in 1996 was his source for the information of the Holbrooke-Karadzic deal.



3. Holbrook is linked to the East Timor genocide.

Holbrook was the US government's expert on Indonesia.



Holbrooke was Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs under Kissinger.

Ford and Kissinger gave Indonesia's Suharto the green light to invade East Timor in 1975.

Consequently, up to half the population of East Timor were wiped out.

"Holbrooke repeatedly played down the brutality of the Indonesian occupation." ( East Timor - Feature Story)

Holbrooke and Zbigniew Brzezinski frustrated the efforts of congressional human rights activists and accelerated the flow of weapons to Indonesia at the height of the genocide.

Admiral Dennis Blair and Genocide

Dennis Blair may become Obama's Director of National Intelligence

Admiral Dennis Blair is one of the people linked to what may be the biggest genocide in the world, the genocide in East Timor, in which at least one third of the population died.

A Catholic missionary gave an eyewitness account of a massacre, carried out by the Indonesian military, in East Timor, in 1981:

Allan Nairn and other journalists report the following (East Timor US Complicity in Timor):

In April 1999, Admiral Dennis Blair, US Commander in Chief of the Pacific Command, was asked by the US State Department to tell Indonesian General Wiranto to stop the mass murders in East Timor.

But when Blair met Wiranto he failed to deliver the message and instead reassured Wiranto of US support for the Indonesian armed forces.

When the State Department discovered this, Blair was again asked to contact Wiranto.

Blair AGAIN failed to tell Wiranto to shut the militias down.

Blair gave Wiranto an offer of military assistance and a personal invitation to be Blair's guest in Hawaii.

East Timor by yeowatzup

Blair, a former classmate of Oliver North at the US Naval Academy , was Commander-in-Chief of U.S. Pacific Command (20 Feb 1999 - 2 May 2002).

Blair was the highest ranking U.S. military official in the region during the final period of violence in East Timor, as Indonesian security forces and their militias killed, looted, and destroyed the country's infrastructure.

Etan.org provides some details

( http://www.etan.org/et99b/september/26-30/27nairn.htm / http://www.etan.org/news/2000a/01wpblair.htm):

In April 1999, Blair met in Jakarta with General Wiranto, then the Defense Minister and the commander of Indonesian forces, just days after dozens of refugees in a Catholic church in the town of Liquica, East Timor were hacked to death by machetes by militia members backed by the military (including Kopassus) and Brimob troops.

Instead of pressuring Wiranto to shut down the militias, Blair promised new military assistance, which the military "took as a green light to proceed with the militia operation," according to Allan Nairn, writing in the Nation magazine at the time....

"Blair was fully aware of what was going on in East Timor at the time...

"From a windowless concrete building near Blair's Pacific Command headquarters, seven intelligence analysts at the 'Joint Intelligence Center,' the world's largest military intelligence center, had tracked the movements of Indonesian and militia forces since May 1998," according to the Washington Post.

On 20 December 2008, we learn: Obama is to tap a retired admiral as his intelligence czar.

(AFP) — President-elect Barack Obama has tapped retired Navy admiral Dennis Blair as his intelligence czar, US media reported Saturday...

If confirmed as Director of National Intelligence (DNI), Blair would face ticking international time bombs inherited from the administration of President George W. Bush, including two wars, secret CIA prisons overseas and domestic wiretapping.


Oil rich East Timor lies between Indonesia and Australia.

East Timor by Yeowatzup

1. Is there a joint US-Australian-Indonesian plot to control oil-rich East Timor?

On 7 February 2008, a new security pact between Australia and Indonesia went into force.

On 11 February 2008, there was an attempt to assassinate the leaders of East Timor, president Jose Ramos and prime minister Horta Xanana Gusmao.

East Timor's Government says Australian-led United Nations forces failed to help President Jose Ramos Horta after he was shot.

Rebel leader Alfredo Reinado, who attacked the president, has received military training in Australia.

Reinado was shot dead during the attack on the president's home.

(Australia to send more troops to East Timor after assassination ... / East Timor president in 'serious' condition after shooting / UN police 'refused to help' injured Ramos Horta / Security pact between Australia, Indonesia comes into effect)

2. On 14 August 2003, Dr Damien Kingsbury, head of philosophical, political and international studies at Deakin University, wrote about the activities of the (American-trained) Indonesian special forces Kopassus regiment in East Timor: (http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/08/13/1060588456746.html)

"Kopassus still trains and organises the militias in West Timor that continue cross-border destabilisation operations into East Timor, according to a range of senior UN officials I spoke to there just weeks ago, and based on the Kopassus and militia members I saw in West Timor days later."

3. Why the East Timor-Indonesia area is important to America and the World:

1. Huge reserves of oil and gas.

2. Control of the oil shipping lanes from the Middle East to China/Japan.

3. The Indonesian military is seen as being an important ally in the attempt to contain China.

4. Why the World should care about East Timor:

1. With the approval of President Ford and Henry Kissinger, Indonesian invaded East Timor in 1975. That was when the genocide began and at least one third of the population died. In East Timor, Indonesia's Kopassus regiment, trained by the United States, used the tactics of the US Phoenix program in South Vietnam: systematic rapes, tortures and executions

2. The US government and its allies turned a blind eye to the terror in East Timor. When journalists spoke out, they were murdered and governments remained silent. (The Financial Times's Sander Thoenes, Australia's Greg Shackleton and Tony Stewart, Britain's Brian Peters and Malcolm Rennie, New Zealand's Gary Cunningham. journalists: Western journalists murdered by Indonesian military ...). The generals responsible for the genocide in East Timor have escaped justice. Indonesia is now run by American trained General Yudhoyono, who was involved in East Timor.

3. When the Indonesian general's militias were massacring East Timorese in 1999, it was reportedly with the approval of the Pentagon.

Journalist Alan Nairn revealed that immediately after the vicious massacre of dozens of refugees seeking shelter in a church in Liquica, U.S. Pacific Commander Admiral Dennis Blair assured Indonesian Army chief General Wiranto of US support and assistance, proposing a new U.S. training mission. East Timor

5. Who is behind the present turmoil in East Timor?

In 2005, in regional elections, 80% of votes went to Fretilin, led by Prime Minister Mari Alkatiri.

Alkatiri wants the oil wealth of East Timor to go to the East Timorese people.

He opposes privatisation and interference by the World Bank. (ITV - John Pilger - East Timor: the coup the world missed

He opposes giving an undue share of the oil and gas revenues to Australia.

In 2006, a section of the East Timorese army turned against Alkatiri.

According to John Pilger (ITV - John Pilger - East Timor: the coup the world missed):

An eyewitness, Australian radio reporter Maryann Keady, disclosed that American and Australian officials were involved.

A leaked Australian Defence Force document has since revealed that Australia's "first objective" in East Timor is to "seek access" for the Australian military so that it can exercise "influence over East Timor's decision-making".

The Howard government accepted an 'invitation' by the East Timorese president, Xanana Gusmão, and foreign minister, José Ramos Horta - who oppose Alkatiri's nationalism - to send troops to Dili, the capital.

In June 2006 Alkatiri resigned.

In March 2006, both Condoleezza Rice and Tony Blair visited Indonesia.

In March 2006 , the Commander of the U.S. Pacific Command stated in testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee that he endorsed "a rapid, concerted infusion of assistance" for the Indonesian military. The Bush government proposed a six-fold increase in military aid to Indonesia.

In May 2006, the Indonesian military took part in the Cobra Gold regional military exercise with the United States and other countries.

6. What do we know about the people who have been trying to destabilise East Timor?

Rebel leader Alfredo Reinado's father and sister live in Australia.

Over several years, Reinado travelled to Australia to receive military training from the Australian Defence Force, studying defence management in October 2003 and emergency management in August 2004.

In 2005 he completed a three-month navy training module at the Australian Command and Staff College in Canberra. (Army's cause without a rebel)

Reinado backs Fernando de Araujo and his Democratic Party.

Araujo has links to Indonesia's American-trained special forces Kopassus regiment and to the Australian military.

De Araujo’s Democratic Party won 8.7% of the vote and seven seats in the 2001 parliamentary elections. (East Timor: Presidential election campaign held under ongoing ...)

De Araujo has ties with people connected to the Indonesian military's militias that killed many Timorese during and after the 1999 independence referendum.

De Araujo has organised protests against the Timorese government with Rui Lopes, who has had close links with Indonesia’s special forces, Kopassus.

De Araujo is also close to Nemecio De Carvalho, former leader of one of the Indonesian military's militias. (East Timor: Presidential election campaign held under ongoing ...)

De Araujo has played a role in the attempts to destabilise the East Timor government and when at one point he had to flee from East Timor he fled to Australia transported by the Australian military.
