The Roots of Reformasi in Indonesia

Indonesia, from Acheh to Irian Jaya, is equivalent in distance from London to Moscow. It has a population of more than 200 million, which is nearly twice the population of Japan. Its archipelago layout, rather than making communications more difficult, makes it more easier to link together, with sealanes, the economic wealth of the nation, into a single economic unit. Due to centuries of Dutch colonialism, the country, and people, were left backwards. After the independence war against the Dutch, led by Sukarno, the idea of using the military to administer and develop the vast nation was formulated. The nation was divided into military regions, and the Indonesia military ( Angkatan Bersenjata Republik Indonesia - ABRI ) was not only to administer these regions, but to start-up and run development projects as well. Sukarno was one of the leaders of the Bandung Conference in the mid fifties that brought together newly-independent Third World nations for the first time, in order to reject the Cold War, started by Churchill after World War II.

In the mid-fifties, when the Soviets developed a nuclear capability, the Pugwash Doctrine was formulated by Bertrand Russell, to make axiomatic, t


In the place of advanced technology such as nuclear power, environmentalism was foistered on, not only the Third World, but the industrialised world as well. The world-wide environmentalist non-government organization phenomena ( such as the World Wildlife Fund, directed by Prince Phillip ) was created top-down, with a complex web of financing, from the circles of the British oligarchy.

Under Kennedy, this policy was nearly brought to a halt. Kennedy refused to introduce US ground troops into Vietnam. He started the publicly funded, science driver, space program, which stimulated the US economy through its productive multiplier effect. He also started the 'Development Decade' program, which attempted to achieve peace through economic development projects worldwide. His assassination by British intelligence marked the beginning of the end of his policies. By the end of the sixties, America's involvement in Vietnam was at its height, and so was the counterculture movement, created and directed from top-down, by Kennedy's assassins, in order to effect a post-industrial shift in the outlook of the American people.

As a result of the Vietnam War, and the post-industrial shift, brought about by the counterculture movement centred mainly around drugs, 'free sex' and 'popular music', the United States economy suffered from widening deficits year after year. The British then attempted to orchestrate a run on the dollar ( demand gold in return for the dollars they held ), together with other European nations, which recovered from the Second World War, as a result of economic aid from the Marshall Plan. Nixon responded just as the British hoped he would, by taking the dollar off gold in 1971. In other words, the dollar was no longer convertible to gold. All currencies become 'free-floating', the value of one against the other being quoted on the currency markets, just like share prices are quoted on the stock exchange. The Bretton Woods system of fixed currency pegs, on which stabil, long term economic trade relations depended, was finished.

he assumption of 'mutually-assured destruction'. Based on this assumption, the industrialised nations were to shift towards a 'post-industrial society', supposedly to reduce the hazards of war, but specifically to stop the flow of technology to the Third World, in order to prevent any economic development. The capitalist and communist blocks were then to compete politically by fighting proxy wars in the Third World. For the Third World, a combination of a cut-off of technological assistance and proxy wars, resulted in genocide, which was the overall aim of the ultra-racist Bertrand Russell, and the British oligarchy which he served.
