CIA DEATH SQUADS & FAKE DEMOCRACY
When the CIA topple Sukarno in 1965 they gave the Indonesian military a list of people to be dealt with.
Up to one million people were then murdered.
CIA Support of Death Squads
It could happen in North Africa.
Watch out people of Libya.
The USA bombs innocent civilians.
On 18 November 2010, there was an article entitled "Democracy promotion: America's new regime change formula" at RT
Among the points made:
1. In previous decades, CIA coups involved CIA death squads, CIA torture chambers and CIA massacres.
2. More recently, the CIA has worked harder at disguising its murderous coup activities.
3. Lawrence Wilkerson, formerly Chief of Staff to Colin Powell said, "We do this through surrogates and nongovernmental organization and through people who are less suspecting of the evil that may lurk behind their actions than perhaps they were before...
"Is it still just as heinous as it has always been? You bet!"
Libya: The Rest of the Story
4. To topple regimes, the CIA uses such organisations as the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and the National Endowment for Democracy (NED).
5. Ron Paul wrote "It is particularly Orwellian to call US manipulation of foreign elections 'promoting democracy.'
"How would we Americans feel if for example the Chinese arrived with millions of dollars to support certain candidates deemed friendly to China?"
6. According to Dr. William Robinson, author of Promoting Polyarhcy, "all sectors of civil society will be identified and those that can be brought on board to the US interventionist project will be brought on board and funded."
Website for this image7. According to William Blum, author of Killing Hope: US Military and CIA Interventions since WW II: "The one in Serbia ... they borrowed things from that revolution.
"Certain slogans, symbols and colors, and they use it again and again."
The CIA makes use of youth groups, rock bands and laser shows.
Student leaders of the Serbian youth group Otpor, who played a key role in the 2000 ousting of Slobodan Milosevic, met 7 to 10 times with officials from USAID affiliates, according to the NY Times.
The same group also received several hundred thousand dollars for demonstration material, t-shirts and stickers.
8. According to Blum "Venezuela is the place where they send the most money. Chavez is enemy number one."
In Venezuela, Maria Corina Machado rose to fame with an NGO known as Sumate, an organization that received hundreds of thousands of dollars from USAID and NED.
Sumate led fierce campaigns against democratically elected President Chavez.
Since 2000, USAID has activated more than 620 programs in Venezuela alone, costing up to $20 million dollars.
CIA SYMBOLS9. Blum says, "to understand US foreign policy, one must understand a very basic fact; the US government wants to dominate the world."
10. The United States has spent over $18 million on 'democracy promotion' in Honduras.
Meanwhile, journalists and activists are being brutalized and killed under the U.S. backed government.
11. Other countries the US has intervened in include the Philippines, Haiti, Nicaragua, Ecuador, El Salvador, Kyrgyzstan, and the Palestinian territories.
The USAID has implemented so called democracy promotion initiatives in over 100 countries in the past 25 years.
12. According to Blum: "We have a very clear law on the books prohibiting foreign governments from interfering in our elections of supporting any candidates with money.
"So we do exactly abroad what we prohibit here at home."

AFTER THE PEOPLE POWER REVOLT
Indonesian fishermenWhat will happen to Egypt?
"The similarities between Indonesia a decade ago and Egypt today are striking: a Muslim majority, a popular uprising, and the ouster of a long-running strongman." (Could Indonesia's democracy be Egypt's model?)
Let's look at what's been happening in the world's biggest Moslem country, Indonesia, since its 'People Power' revolution in 1998.
1. "Indonesia remains plagued by vast economic inequalities and disenfranchised youth..." (Indonesia is no longer a poster child for pluralism )
"Accountability remains weak, illustrated by a web of corruption trials in which suspects have been acquitted or sentenced to short jail terms...
"The wealth gap has barely budged..." (Could Indonesia's democracy be Egypt's model?)
In Indonesia, the poor are still poor.
MUCH poorer than in Egypt.
Indonesia GDP per person $4,380
Egypt GDP per person $6,367
In Indonesia, people have to pay for health care and education.
Indonesians2. "Mob rule and religious intolerance are on the rise in Indonesia," according to the Jakarta Globe on 8 February 2011. (Murder in The Name of Religion)
On 8 February 2011, "there were reports of vandalism and firebombing of Catholic schools and churches in Central Java ... suspected to be the work of the Islamic Defenders Front." (Indonesia is no longer a poster child for pluralism)
On 8 February 2011, a "mob of 1,500 Muslims went on the rampage in the central Javanese town of Temanggung.
"This time they were angry about a court verdict given to a Catholic man accused of blaspheming Islam.
"He got the maximum sentence, but this apparently was not enough for the protesters, who burned three churches to the ground." (Indonesia and its place in the world: Feet of clay)
On 6 February 2011, in West Java, three members of a Moslem sect were beaten to death by members of the Islamic Defenders Front, a group reportedly linked to elements of the police.
"Footage of the bloody attack in Banten on 6 February showed police officers providing an embarrassingly feeble match for a crowd of 1,500 villagers, equipped with machetes, rocks and bamboo sticks."
"Amnesty International have declared that religious freedom in Indonesia is 'in tatters'" (Indonesia is no longer a poster child for pluralism )
Indonesia's current problems with 'religion' may be related to factions within the all-powerful military.
One faction may be trying to destabilise the government.
3. The military is still the power behind the scenes.
The country is still corrupt.
Back in 1998 there were hopes of CHANGE.
The Moslem cleric Abdurrahman Wahid became president of Indonesia in 1999.
He promoted free speech and human rights, defended British author Salman Rushdie and visited East Timor to apologize for human rights abuses committed by Indonesian forces during their American backed occupation.
Wahid knew that the Moslem militants were linked to the American trained military. Fundamentalist Islam is a tool to keep the rich elite in power.
Back in the 1960s, the CIA had arranged for the Indonesian military to be put into power in Indonesia.
When he became President, Wahid sought to reform the military and end the control of Indonesian institutions by the American trained generals.
Wahid found an ally in Agus Wirahadikusumah who was made Commander of the powerful Kostrad regiment.
Agus began uncovering a financial scandal linked to Kostrad.
Agus then died rather suddenly!
The military wanted Wahid removed from the presidency and began to stir up trouble.
Koppasus special forces. Image from: kebangkitan-kita.blogspot.com/
In the year 2000, there was trouble in part of Indonesia called Maluku.
The Indonesian military set up a Moslem militia called Laskar Jihad (similar to the CIA's al Qaeda)
Laskar Jihad was transported to Maluku by the military.
Wahid had ordered the military to block Laskar Jihad from going to Maluku[40]
Laskar Jihad were being financed by Fuad Bawazier, the last Minister of Finance to have served under Suharto.
Most Moslems are hospitable and moderate. The fundamentalists are promoted by the CIA as a way of keeping Moslems weak.
There was trouble in West Papua.
Wahid wanted to follow a policy of moderation. This was opposed by the military and its alleged puppets, such as Megawati, in other political parties.
On 24 December 2000, there were attacks directed against churches in Jakarta and in eight cities across Indonesia.
It is suspected that the American trained Indonesian military were behind the attacks.
Wahid was forced out of office.
Wahid discussed his suspicions regarding the involvement of the Indonesian police and military in the Bali Bombings, in an interview in the documentary Inside Indonesia's War on Terrorism which was aired by SBS Dateline on October 12, 2005.
Wahid was saying in 2005 of the Bali bombings: "The orders to do this or that came from within our armed forces... There is not a single Islamic group ... that is not controlled by (Indonesian) intelligence."
Indonesia's intelligence services are said to work closely with the CIA.
Indonesians (NB - new address of http://jakartass.net/)
The series of 38 church bombings on Christmas Eve, 2000, killed 19 people in 11 Indonesian cities. (Source: Kopassus)
Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) was blamed.
However, in February 2001, the respected Indonesian newsweekly Tempo published a cover story suggesting links between the bombings and the Indonesian military, the TNI.
The article pointed out that Edi Sugiarto, who was quickly arrested and confessed to assembling 15 of the bombs used in the town of Medan, has long run a car repair shop in the province of Aceh, where a separatist group named GAM has been fighting for many years.
Members of TNI and Indonesia’s special forces, Kopassus, regularly went to his shop for repairs and just to hang out.
As a result, GAM claimed he was a TNI lackey and burned down his shop and house in 1997.
Phone records also indicated that Sugiarto called Fauzi Hasbi seven times before the bombings.
Hasbi is a leader of JI, but Tempo outed him as an Indonesian government mole.
In 2005, two years after Hasbi’s death, the Australian television program SBS Dateline provided additional evidence of Hasbi’s long-time links to the TNI.
Fasbi also called Jacob Tanwijaya, a businessman well connected with the TNI, 35 times.
That businessman in turn talked on the phone to Lt. Col. Iwan Prilianto, a Kopassus special forces intelligence officer, over 70 times. (Source: Kopassus)
Two women caned in Aceh, in Indonesia for selling food during RamadanAceh, in Indonesia, would appear to be a base for the CIA. (Police probe Aceh's 'al-Qaeda', which is the CIA ) The Jakarta Post)
The people who run Aceh are mainly mad and bad people.
In January 2010 it was reported that three members of Aceh's Shariah Police had raped a young student.
"The kind of rape by men in authority in Aceh is not uncommon in communities that employ Shariah law.
"In Indonesia, it is not uncommon for a migrant worker to return home from working as a maid in Saudi Arabia only to give birth to an Arab-looking baby.
"If a maid is raped by her boss in Saudi Arabia the best thing she can hope for is to get home alive, because under that nation’s form of Shariah law, she could be sentenced to death for adultery." (Aceh Rape Shows Danger of Shariah Law The Jakarta Globe)
Indonesian Moslems have much to be proud of and much to be ashamed of.
Indonesian Moslems can be proud of the fact that Indonesia has on the whole resisted the fascist style of Islam that is used in Saudi Arabia to keep the rich and corrupt elite in power.
Most Indonesian Moslems have a reputation for moderation and hospitality.
Bali
Some Indonesian Moslems can be proud of the fact that they have educated themselves about how the CIA, in league with Saudi intelligence and Mossad, uses Moslems in its acts of false flag terrorism, acts which are designed to keep the rich and corrupt elite in power. (USA SEEKS CONTROL OF INDONESIA? We must not get back in bed with Kopassus - theage.com.au)
Indonesian Moslems should be ashamed of the way that, in 1965, certain Moslems helped the CIA topple President Sukarno and helped the CIA and its friends in the Indonesian military murder up to one million Indonesians.
Former President Wahid apologized for the 1965 killings on behalf of his Muslim association, Nahdlatul Ulama.
Indonesian Moslems should be ashamed of the fact that so many of Indonesia's rich Moslems do little or nothing to help the vast number of poor and undernourished Moslems.
Indonesia spends little on health education and public housing.
Indonesian Christians have much to be ashamed of.
The Christian Coker gang, in league with the military, has reportedly carried out acts of terrorism. The 'terrorism' is often linked to Christian gangsters.
And CIA pilots, pretending to be Moslems, have bombed Christians. (USA SEEKS CONTROL OF INDONESIA?)
Most indonesians just want to have fun.
There are some fascist Moslems in Indonesia.
They usually live in posh houses, wear posh clothes, drive posh cars and attend posh mosques which have been financed by the Saudis.
During the daylight hours in the month of Ramadan these fat fascist Moslems appear to be fasting.
In the evening they gorge themselves on expensive foods.
When Ramadan ends, they dress up in their new and expensive clothes and party!
The fascist Moslems are mainly concentrated in Aceh, in Sumatra, and around the poshest housing estates in Jabotabek.
The fascist Moslems do not seem to care about Indonesia's poor.
The fascist Moslems have their own police in Aceh.
"The women of the District of West Aceh can no longer wear jeans or tight skirts, considered indecent and against Islam.
"Moderate Muslims and human rights activists ... see the application of Islamic law as a form of terrorism." (INDONESIA West Aceh police checkpoints and raids against jeans and ...)
In Indonesia it is quite common for people to eat drink and smoke during the daylight hours of Ramadan.
Such people try to be discreet about it.
Most Indonesians just like to have fun.
But some of the inhabitants of the relatively remote and primitive province of Aceh in Sumatra are mad fundamentalists.
They seem to get a thrill from treating women in a sadistic way.
On 2 October 2010, we read that two women were publicly caned in Aceh, in Indonesia for selling rice during Ramadan
Murni Amris, 27, received three lashes and Rukiah Abdullah, 22, two.
This act of apparent sadism took place in front of a crowd of hundreds at a mosque in the city of Jantho, southeast of the provincial capital, Banda Aceh.
Murni and Rukiah were found guilty of violating sharia law by selling rice at a stall during daylight during Ramadan.
Sharia law was introduced in Aceh in 2005.
Marzuki Abdullah is the 'Nazi' head of Aceh’s sharia police.
The poor are generaly hospitable and liberal. The elite use fascism to stay in power.It is believed that the CIA and the corrupt and decadent Saudi leadership finance various extremist Moslem groups.
It is believed that the CIA and the Saudis promote the Wahhabi version of Islam.
Wahhabis, like fundamentalist Christians and Hindus, are easy to brainwash, manipulate and control.
A Wahhabi is easily turned into a patsy.
Wahhabis keep the feudal lords in power and keep Moslem countries backward.
Not so long ago, the Islamic Defenders' Front, who are linked to the fascist elite, assaulted Christian worshippers while they held a service in the West Java town of Bekasi, on the outskirts of Jakarta. (Terrorism in Indonesia: Arrest of a smiling extremist)
This Islamic Defenders' Front was part of the Pamswakarsa civil guard formed by the military. (Jakarta (who runs Jakarta?) - THE JAKARTA -INDONESIA- URBAN BLOG)
Tempo magazine in 2006 reported that between 1996 and 2005, about 180 churches were destroyed, burned or closed by force. (JEWS IN THE WORLD'S LARGEST 'MOSLEM' COUNTRY)
The 'mad Moslems' usually work for the security services or various mafias. (graft wars and the Udayana Military Command)
Aceh.
Mr. Zaini was the head of his party's religious affairs committee, which has responsibility for moral issues.
The video showed Zaini and the dangdut singer naked in a hotel room. (Indonesian Politician Sex Video Scandal, Yahya Zaini & Maria Eva ...)
Parody
The province of Aceh is different because its form of Islam came direct from Saudi Arabia.
In April 2009, there were elections in the province of Aceh in Indonesia.
The mad and very nasty Islamic hardliners performed poorly.
The secular Partai Aceh did well.
The Partai Aceh-dominated parliament was due to convene in October 2009.
In September 2009, the old Aceh parliament expanded Islamic Law so that people can be stoned to death.
The draft law came from the office of Governor Irwandi Yusuf, a US-educated vet.
The new laws include multiple public lashings for those having pre-marital sex.
(Almost 50% of French Muslims believe sex between unmarried people is morally acceptable. - aangirfan: HOW DANGEROUS ARE MOSLEMS?)
The laws include punishments for drinking alcohol and homosexuality.
Bustanul Arifin, of the Islamist Prosperous Justice Party, sat on the committee that oversaw the bill.
''We based the law on the Koran and the hadith,'' said Arifin.
Aceh has had a form of sharia since 2002.
Jakartass refers to legislators trying to "foist their largely unwanted agenda on the electorate. The most notorious example has to be that of the Aceh regional government which believes that stoning adulterers will eradicate sexual 'deviants' and caning will cure homosexuals (even though sado-masochism is, for some, a form of sexual deviancy.)"
Hidayat Nur Wahid, founder of Indonesian radical Islamic party PKS, Prosperous Justice Party (Indonesian Democracy’s Enemy Within)
When the CIA was trying to frustrate democracy in Central America, they used Moslem money, from the Saudis. (Cached)
In Indonesia, money from Saudi Arabia and the Gulf has been financing mosques and preachers demanding a 'purer' form of Islam. (Indonesian Democracy’s Enemy Within)
Beginning in the 1970s, "activists linked to the Saudi-sponsored Islamic World League began indoctrinating small groups at the prestigious Bandung Institute of Technology with Brotherhood materials". (Indonesian Democracy’s Enemy Within)
In 1998, there was the possibility that Indonesia would change its government and become a democracy like Malaysia, where there is no miserable poverty.
Unfortunately, Indonesia's American-trained military hijacked the 1998 protest movement.
The May 1998 riots which toppled Suharto were organised by the military; certain Chinese people were made the scapegoats for all of Indonesia's problems; most of the old elite, consisting of generals, Chinese-Indonesian businessmen, religious leaders and politicians, remained in power; certain factions within the elite lost out.
Now sections of the elite are using Islam to frustrate democracy.
Indonesia's Prosperous Justice Party (PKS) 'is Indonesia's version of the Muslim Brotherhood'. (Playing with Fire in Indonesia). It supports 'Moslem values'.
"According to CIA agent Miles Copeland... the CIA began to cooperate with the Muslim Brotherhood... This signalled the beginning of an alliance between the traditional regimes and mass Islamic movements against Nasser and other secular forces." (aangirfan: The use of the Muslim Brotherhood by MI6 and the CIA in ...)
In the 2004 national elections, the PKS won 45 out of 550 seats in the Indonesian lower house (DPR). They also got 3 seats in the cabinet. (Playing with Fire in Indonesia)
In April 2008, PKS candidates won the Governorships of West Java and North Sumatra.
Why do some poor Indonesians vote for the PKS? They are fed up with "corruption, poor public services, poverty, and the perceived lack of real political choice." (Playing with Fire in Indonesia)
Reportedly, the "founding manifesto" of the Justice Party that went on to become the PKS, called for the creation of an Islamic caliphate. (Indonesian Democracy’s Enemy Within)
According to Walter Lohman, "The Indonesian political elite... believe they can turn the PKS's success to their own advantage..." (Playing with Fire in Indonesia)
Why might the CIA be helping the PKS?
Walter Lohman (Playing with Fire in Indonesia) reminds us of "the threat of a burgeoning Chinese presence in Asia."
A Saudi-style Indonesia will have no love for China, and may side with the USA in countering it.
An independent-minded democratic Indonesia might not side with the USA.

SOROS OR SOME CHINESE GUY? ELLIOT ABRAMS SPEAKS
Who is pulling the strings?The CIA organises 'People Power'.
If a country is not being sufficiently friendly to people like George Soros, or if a country is being too friendly to China, then the IMF and the CIA can stir up discontent.
A few deaths can be arranged.
Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi shakes hands with Tunisian Foreign Minister Abdelwahab Abdallah after they signed an economic and technical cooperation pact in Beijing June 29, 2009.Tunisia was seen as being stable and a success.
The impact of the 2008 global financial crisis on Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco was minimal.
On 10 January 2011, we read that at least 23 people have died so far in the street violence in Tunisia amid ongoing protests over joblessness, the French daily Le Monde has reported.
There is also unrest in Morocco and Algeria...
Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika and President Hu Jintao met in Beijing in 2008.
What is being planned by the CIA and by the guys in the CFR?
On 7 January 2011, Elliott Abrams wrote (Elliott Abrams: Is Tunisia Next?):
"Tunisia, whose literacy rate has long been the highest in Africa at nearly 80% and whose per capita GDP is about $8,000, should have the ability to sustain a democratic government—once the Ben Ali regime collapses.
"Tunisians are clearly sick of looking at all the giant photos and paintings of Ben Ali that appear on walls, posters, and billboards all over the country.
"And when that regime does fall, what happens next will be significant throughout the Arab world.
"If Tunisia can move toward democracy, Algerians and Egyptians and even Libyans will wonder why they cannot.
"This kind of thing may catch on. In fact, in Algeria it may already be catching on."
If Tunisia does get a new leader, perhaps he can expect a visit from George Soros, rather than some Chinese guy?

STAGED BY SPOOKS: FALL OF THE BERLIN WALL, ORANGE REVOLUTION, FALL OF CEAUSESCU AND SUHARTO
aferrismoon points out that the Berlin Wall came down on 9 11 - 9 November 1989.
The mainstream media lies to us about many of the big events.
What may appear to be the work of 'people power' or 'terrorists', is so often the work of people within governments.
On 6 November 2009, Tim Mohr explained that the fall of the Berlin Wall 'wasn't spontaneous but planned and staged'
Among the points made:
1. The fall of the wall was 'staged', as Munich’s Suddeutsche Zeitung has now explained.
2. The East German government planned the opening of the wall.
The West German government knew this.
3. Some days before the wall opened, the plan was discussed during a lunch meeting at East Berlin’s Palast hotel between Walter Momper, the mayor of West Berlin, and the official who would open the wall less than two weeks later, Günter Schabowski.
The two men discussed which checkpoints could be opened to best make use of the subway system, as well as the volume of visitors to expect.
In George Washington's blog ( George Washington's Blog: Fascism Is Over ... If We Want It ) we read:
2 million Americans could all peacefully surround the White House and Capitol Hill, and hold signs saying 'we're not leaving until the Constitution and the rule of law are restored'...
The Ukranian people stood up to tyranny and won. The East German people stood up to tyranny and won. The people of the Philippines, Serbia, Czechoslovakia, Indonesia and other countries around the world have won against tyranny whenever ordinary people have poured into the streets in massive numbers and demanded freedom.
~~~
There may be a problem here about historical accuracy.
People Power is usually only successful when it has the backing of the elite.
1. In the 1381 Peasants Revolt in England, the people went on the march. The king promised to meet the peasants' demands. The peasants headed homewards.
Most of the leaders of the revolt were then executed and the king broke his promises.
2. Now let's look at the UKRAINE.
The Orange Revolution looks like a CIA operation to replace a set of pro-Russian oligarchs with a set of pro-American oligarchs.
Ian Traynor, in The Guardian 26 November 2004 (US campaign behind the turmoil in Kiev Special reports ...), described the Ukraine's Orange Revolution as 'an American creation, a sophisticated and brilliantly conceived exercise in western branding and mass marketing...
'The Democratic party's National Democratic Institute, the Republican party's International Republican Institute, the US state department and USAid are the main agencies involved in these grassroots campaigns as well as the Freedom House NGO and billionaire George Soros's open society institute. '
After the Orange Revolution, Mr Yushchenko personal popularity rating soon slumped to 20% as people realised they had been conned. ( Yushchenko scorned as Ukraine turns its back on the orange ... )
What happened in Serbia was also planned, apparently, by the USA. (US campaign behind the turmoil in Kiev Special reports ...)
3. Now let us look at revolts in Eastern Europe, including Hungary and Romania.
In 1956 there was revolt in Hungary against the communist regime. There was no serious support for the rebels from the CIA and its friends and the revolt was crushed.
The 1989 revolt in Romania was successful.
An article apparently written by former Securitate officers ('Was This Your Revolution? This is How It Was!' Democratia, No. 36, 24-30 Sept. 1990) describes how the CIA and KGB organised the fall of Ceausescu.
Reportedly, key figures in the revolt were working for the CIA and KGB, including Militaru (allegedly a KGB-CIA double agent) and the former Securitate officer and adviser to Ceausescu, Dumitru Mazilu (allegedly a CIA agent), and Silviu Brucan (allegedly both a CIA and KGB agent).
Reportedly, just before the revolt, there were 'massive arrivals of so-called Hungarian tourists in Timisoara and Soviet tourists in Cluj'.
4. What about the Philippines?
By the mid 1980s, the CIA had decided that Marcos was no longer the person to run the Philippines. The CIA wanted someone more 'popular'. So a People Power movement was used to replace Marcos with Aquino.
5. Indonesia provides the best example of CIA-organised People Power.
At some point in the 1990s Suharto was seen by some Americans as having become too powerful and too independent minded.
Suharto was giving too many business contracts to his family and Chinese-Indonesian cronies, rather than to American companies like Ford.
Some people in the Pentagon considered the possibility of having a general such as Prabowo or Wiranto or Yuhhoyono take over.
In order to topple Suharto there would need to be riots.
In Indonesia, in the years 1997- 1998, there were riots in various parts of Indonesia. Some riots looked spontaneous and some looked as if they had been planned. (http://www.insideindonesia.org/edit50/riots.htm)
Intelligence agencies
In Indonesia, trouble is often organised by the spies. Back in the 1950s the British and American intelligence agencies had organised rebellions in various parts of Indonesia, in order to undermine President Sukarno.(http://www.westpapuanews.com/articles/publish/article_31.shtml)
The generals
In 1998 one of the key generals was Prabowo, son of Dr. Sumitro Djojohadikusumo, a former Finance Minister, said to have once worked with the British and the Americans against Sukarno.
Prabowo had learnt about terrorism at Fort Bragg and Fort Benning in the US. General Prabowo and terror (http://yayasanhak.minihub.org/mot/Prabowo.htm)
In May 1998, Prabowo was commander of Kostrad, the strategic reserve, the regiment Suharto commanded when he took power in 1965.
Prabowo's friend Muchdi ran Kopassus (special forces) and his friend Sjafrie ran the Jakarta Area Command.
General Wiranto, the overall head of the military, was seen as a rival to Prabowo.
The American Defence Secretary, William Cohen, was in Jakarta in January 1998 and he visited both Prabowo and Wiranto.
The CIA chief had also been a recent visitor to Jakarta. The CIA and the Pentagon were close to both Prabowo and Wiranto. (http://solidarity.igc.org/atc/emily75.html)
Students
At the start of May 1998, students were holding peaceful demonstrations on university campuses across the country. They were protesting against massive price rises for fuel and energy, and they were demanding that President Suharto should step down.
On May 12th, students at Jakarta's Trisakti University, many of them the children of the elite, planned to march to parliament to present the government with their demands for reform. The police prevented the students from marching.
Some time after 5pm, uniformed men on motorcycles appeared on the flyover which overlooks Trisakti. Shots rang out. Four students were killed.
Riots of May 13-14
On the 13th of May there were reports of rioting in the area around Trisakti. President Suharto was attending a conference in Egypt and the military top brass went off to Malang in East Java to attend a ceremony.
On the 14th of May, serious rioting took place in the Jakarta area. There were no signs of any uniformed soldiers on the streets.
Deaths
Over 1,000 people died during these Jakarta riots, most having been burnt in malls and supermarkets but some having been shot or beaten.
Alleged involvement of the military in planning the riots
Father Sandyawan Sumardi, a 40-year-old Jesuit priest and son of a police chief, led an independent investigation into the events of May 1998.
As a member of the Team of Volunteers for Humanitarian Causes he interviewed people who had witnessed the alleged involvement of the military in organising the riots and rapes.
(The Riot Pattern in Jakarta and Surroundings - Beberapa Pola dalam ...) (http://www.asiaweek.com/asiaweek/98/0626/nat_6_indoriots.html)
A security officer alleged that Kopassus (special forces) officers had ordered the burning down of a bank;
a taxi driver reported hearing a man in a military helicopter encouraging people on the ground to carry out looting;
shop-owners at a Plaza claimed that, before the riots, military officers tried to extract protection money;
a teenager claimed he and thousands of others had been trained as protesters;
a street child alleged that Kopassus officers ordered him and and his friends to become rioters;
there was a report of soldiers being dressed up as students and then taking part in rioting;
eyewitnesses spoke of muscular men with short haircuts arriving in military-style trucks and directing attacks on Chinese homes and businesses.
There were reports of children being encouraged to enter malls and then of the malls being set on fire;
there were allegations that muscular men with short haircuts had gang-raped little Chinese girls and then murdered some of them.
Suharto told he had lost the support of the military
Some of Suharto's former allies deserted him. Wiranto allowed students to occupy Parliament. Reportedly Wiranto reported to Suharto on May 20th that Suharto no longer had the support of the army. Suharto was forced to resign on May 21 and was replaced by Habibie, his Vice President.
The continuing importance of the military
Wiranto remained as chief of the armed forces. Wiranto's troops began removing the students from the parliament building.
One result of the May riots was that the military appeared to remain the power behind the throne. In 2004, General Yudhoyono became president.
In conclusion: a study of History may help us to understand how change comes about.
The Peasants' Revolt was defeated. But, the condition of the peasants did eventually improve due to a shortage of labour (caused by the Black death).

CIA PUT ROZA INTO POWER? OIL, HEROIN, AIR BASES AND BANKERS IN KYRGYZSTAN
CIA 'asset' Roza Otunbayeva. People Power is usually organised by the CIA.
Reportedly, in Kyrzygstan, the CIA toppled President Akayev in 2005, and President Bakiyev in 2010.
In 2009 the Kyrgyz government of Kurmanbek Bakiyev announced that it was evicting US forces.
It changed its mind when the USA offered it $60 million to reverse its decision. (AARAN AARDVARK'S GARDEN OF EARTHLY DELIGHTS - A Blink in the Eye ...)
But the CIA may have lost trust in Bakiyev.
It is possible that the CIA used people power to topple Bakiyev in April 2010, and put Roza Otunbayeva into power.
On 13 April 2010, Kyrgyzstan's interim leader, Roza Otunbayeva, told The Associated Press that her government will extend the lease allowing the U.S. to use the Manas air base after the current one-year deal expires in July 2010. (US: troops flights through Kyrgyzstan )
"With Roza Otunbayeva ... there is reason to believe that Washington will not be dissatisfied with the overthrow of her former 'tulip' partner Bakiyev." (At the Geopolitical Crossroads of China and Russia: Kyrgyzstan And The Battle For Central Asia - by Rick Rozoff )
According to Der Spiegel, after the 2005 change of government: Roza Otunbayeva "pledged allegiance to a small group of partners and sponsors of the Kyrgyz revolution, to 'our American friends' at Freedom House..."
Kyrgyzstan by globevisions The trouble in Afghanistan and in Kyrgyzstan has a lot to do with heroin, oil and 'military bases which can be used against Russia and China and Iran'.
In February 2010, Iran captured Abdolmalek Rigi, the leader of the Moslem 'terrorist group', Jundallah.
Rigi confessed that the USA promised him military aid and funding for a war against Iran.
Rigi said of the Americans: "They told me that in Kyrgyzstan they have a base called Manas near Bishkek, and that a high-ranking person was coming to meet me..." (RIGI SAYS USA OFFERED AID FOR ATTACKS ON IRAN.)
Perhaps the main reson for having a US base in Kyrgyzstan, is to control China and Russia. (The geopolitics behind the phoney US war in Afghanistan [Voltaire])
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev sees Kyrgyzstan as part of Russia's sphere of influence.
Medvedev says the turmoil in Kyrkyzstan could result in a civil war and produce a "second Afghanistan." (Top U.S. envoy in Kyrgyzstan for talks after revolt)

According to Twelthbough:
MGN is a powerful Kyrgyzstan conglomerate.
MGN stands for Maksim, Gurevich, Nadel.
In other words, the Kyrgyzstan president's son, Gurevich the Kyrgyz Jewish banker, and Nadel the Russian Jewish oligarch.
Italian media reported on March 9 that a judge in Rome had issued an arrest warrant for Gurevich, who is accused of embezzling some $2.7 billion from divisions of Telecom Italia and the Fastweb telecom company between 2003 and 2006.
There are allegations including laundering money through fictitious companies set up in the UK, Switzerland, Panama and Luxembourg. (Excellent article at Russian Mafia.)
One of the people named in the warrant is Gennaro Mokbel.
Allegedly Mokbel used his contacts in the Calabrian mafia to elect his friend to the senate.
Mokbel has alleged relations to right-wing extremists including terrorists.
From November 1-3, 2009, the richest Jews in the world gathered in the luxurious palace of Silvio Berlusconi, as his personal guests.
Kyrgyzstan has oil, gas and heroin.
The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), founded in 2001 by the leaders of China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan, is the Russian-Chinese equivalent of NATO.
Reportedly, in 2005, the USA helped topple Kyrgyzstan's president Akayev.
Akayev was replaced by Kurmanbek Bakiyev who was then 'toppled' in April 2010.
John Laughland, in the Guardian April 1, 2005, wrote about US-backed coups in the former USSR and the mythology of people power.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,3604,1449869,00.html
Former President Askar Akayev of Kyrgyzstan has attacked:
1. The "prevailing influence" of the US in the "anti-constitutional coup" which overthrew him.
2. Those who are stirring up trouble in the drug-ridden Ferghana Valley.
3. The criminal "third force", linked to the drug mafia, which is struggling to gain power.
The term 'third force' was used to describe covert operatives shoring up apartheid in South Africa. It may also remind people of US-backed coups in Central America and former soviet republics.
Michael Kozak, former US ambassador to Belarus, boasted that he was doing in Belarus exactly what he had been doing in Nicaragua: "supporting democracy".
In Kyrgyzstan, US ambassador Stephen Young, denied government claims that the US had interfered in Kyrgyzstan's internal affairs.
Kyrgyzstan is the largest recipient of US aid in central Asia and it is filled with "American-sponsored NGOs".
In previous years it invited in the US military.
Freedom House, chaired by former CIA director James Woolsey, was a major sponsor of the orange revolution in Ukraine.
Freedom House set up a printing press in Kyrgyzstan in November 2003, which prints 60 opposition journals. The US also supports opposition radio and TV.
In Kyrgyzstan a key element in regime change was played by members of the Kyrgyz security services, 'whose loyalty is easily bought'.
The US has strategic interests in Kyrgyzstan.
Freedom House is reportedly friendly with the Islamist fundamentalist movement Hizb ut-Tahrir.
This worries the Chinese who have Muslim unrest in their western provinces.
Akayev was seen as being a friend of the US. But he was toppled when 'things went wrong'.
