The Indonesia Massacre’s Historic Message
By Jonathan Marshall | Consortium News | October 19, 2017
Fifty-four years after the assassination of President Kennedy, historians are still waiting to see whether President Trump will approve the final release of secret records related to that crime by the Oct. 26 deadline set by a unanimous Congress in 1992 with the JFK Records Act.
Senior Republicans in both the House and Senate have called on the President to “reject any claims for the continued postponement” of declassification. “Transparency in government is critical not only to ensuring accountability; it’s also essential to understanding our nation’s history,” said Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Just days before the scheduled release of JFK records, the National Archives — with much less fanfare — declassified nearly 30,000 pages of documents from the U.S. embassy in Jakarta from 1964 to 1968. That might seem in contrast like an obscure matter of interest only to a handful of specialists, but the period covers what the CIA once called “one of the worst mass murders of the 20th century”: the massacre of half a million Indonesians, and the arrest of a million more, by the country’s army and its supporters in the name of wiping out Communism.
Whether and how the U.S. government abetted that bloodbath is as “essential to understanding our nation’s history” as learning what transpired two years earlier on the streets of Dallas. Indeed, the two events are related, as the murder of Kennedy prompted a hardline shift in U.S. policy to support a military coup in Indonesia. Yet despite the worthy new release of documents, Washington has been neither transparent nor accountable when it comes to the Indonesia massacre of 1965-66.
In particular, the U.S. government has yet to declassify any but a handful of operational files from the CIA or Defense Department. … continue

They will not exist after 2018, according to the prophecy of St. Paisios. The Sanhedrin, who crucified Christ were reconvened in 2004, and to build their temple on the ruins of the ancient Roman Fort Antonia, they will have to blow up the Dome of the Rock and Al Aqsa. When they do this, the entire world will turn against them, even China. There will be countless killed, but the Jewish hegemony will be at an end. Even their own people are beginning to see it. Like their Soviet regime and slaughter of 80 million Christians in the Russian Empire, they will collapse from their own evil. Seems like 70 years is about their limit.

Interestingly, this video admits that the 2006 2nd Lebanon war was started by a Hizballah action…
The video complains that Israel attacked roads, bridges, airports and seaports… However, all these are valid military targets… Further, the video complains that Israel attacked residential buildings but, unsurprisingly, neglects to inform the viewer that residential buildings that are used for military purposes are valid military targets…
The video further wishes to convey the message that all the Lebanese casualties were noncombatants… The truth, as we know now, is that Hizballah suffered many hundreds of casualties…
As for Israel supposedly having a goal of occupying Lebanon up to the Litani river, it’s a figment of Hizballah’s imagination… If Israel had wanted to occupy Lebanon they wouldn’t have left in 2000…
Another obvious contradiction is that the video claims that Tel Aviv was threatened in the case that Beirut was attacked… Well, parts of Beirut (e.g. the airport, Hizballah HQ in Dahya) were attacked but there was no attack on Tel Aviv…
Of course, it’s not easy to make a video that, on the one hand, portrays Hizballah/Lebanon as fierce heroes and, on the other side, portrays Hizballah/Lebanon as victims… So they have to make up stuff…

The aims of the Zionist aggression of 2006 were threefold: to empty southern Lebanon of its goyish population, to annex the entire area as far north as the Litani River, and to sluice off every drop of the Litani’s water for the benefit of Jews only. The first of these aims was largely attained: by carpet-bombing the villages and saturating the countryside with fléchettes and cluster bombs, the Zionists were able to killl and maim gratifyingly large numbers of goyim and drive out most of the survivors. But they never reached the Litani, because Hizbullah defeated them on the ground. Since then, they have been able to do nothing but publish a lot of frothing public-relations material about Hizbullah being a terrorist organization that should be disarmed. But disarming Hizbullah is proving to be like belling the cat: who’s going to do it? Not the Zionist cowards, assuredly!

Funny that… If all Israel wanted to do was to empty southern Lebanon of its goyish population and to annex the entire area as far north as the Litani River why didn’t they do that during the decades that they were there?!…
As for sluicing off every drop of the Litani’s water for the benefit of Jews only, pray tell, exactly how would Israel be able to do that once the water was pumped into the Israeli water grid?!…
Your position is ludicrous and unsupported by facts… As for disarming Hizballah, that was supposed to be the task of the UN and the Lebanese government… That, in itself, isn’t a reason for Israel to go to war… And that’s why the Hizballah are basically able to claim results that have nothing to do with them…

Southern Lebanon is now full of goyim once again. They’re proliferating in Palestine too. The whole ethnic cleansing project seems to be unravelling.

And, as usual, instead of answering the argument you post either stuff that’s not under contention and/or stuff that is more a representation of your biased view then a representation of reality…
If, as you believe, the Israel project is truly unraveling, why don’t you just sit back and enjoy the view?!… Why do you feel as if your “contribution” is required when you believe that the end result is basically a question of time?!…
Could it be that your cognitive dissonance doesn’t go deep enough?!…

Still the same old story: no matter how many goyim we kill, there are always more of them afterward than there were before. That glorious vision of a goyimrein Jewish state seems to recede before us like a mirage. Sigh.
