Prabowo Subianto Speaks

September 29th, 2006, in News, by Patung

Conspiracy theories and paranoia from former military commander Prabowo Subianto.

Lieutenant General (retired) Prabowo Subianto, former head of Kopassus, the army special forces unit, from 1995 until the fall of Suharto in 1998, complains that Indonesia, its government and people, is constantly subject to foreign attempts to weaken it.

There are certain world powers who openly say that Indonesia will split up, that there will be civil war, and so on.

The fact that the Indonesian archipelago is located near several important sea lanes and that it has great amounts of natural wealth and resources means that some countries will always seek to weaken it, he says. They fear that if Indonesia has large deposits of uranium then the country will one day seek to build a nuclear industry.

Prabowo Subianto & SBY.

The monetary crisis of 1997-98 had been planned by foreigners as one way of weakening Indonesia. He named Michael Camdesus of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) as one of the conspirators. He added that both Camdesus and former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher both wrote in their memoirs that they had wished to see the reign of General Soeharto come to an end. Therefore they schemed to create a monetary crisis in Indonesia to bring about their wishes. He didn’t make any mention of Jews however.

From Wikipedia:

A conspiracy theory attempts to explain the ultimate cause of an event (usually a political, social, or historical event) as a secret, and often deceptive, plot by a covert alliance of powerful people or organizations rather than as an overt activity or as natural occurrence.

He may not be crazy after all, knowing how our political system works his theories may be true! Maybe he needs to look inwards rather than outwards.

that medication he’s taking sounds like powerfully good stuff, even better than the ram. Of course he has needed his meds ever since the FALINTIL boys blew his balls off in the 80s.

Yeah, the British imperialists hated Suharto so much that they had Suharto knighted (Knight of the Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath) and gave the country as many Scorpion tanks as the military could use.

And the IMF only propped up his government for 30 years.

yeah, I read about this, the world’s capitalist powers got very upset with soeharto because of his national car project (mobnas), a project that blatantly not in accordance with WTO regulations. soeharto’s persistence to go ahead with that project, causes outrage within the western capitalists. they swore they will “punish” soeharto, and they did. with the help of Soros, the IMF and world bank, of course.

moral lesson: never get in the way of the capitalist’s cashflow, or you’ll pay the consequenses.
