On December 7, 1975 Indonesia
secretly – but with the complicity
of the US and other western powers -
invaded the small nation of East
Timor. Two Australian television
crews trying to document the
invasion were murdered. <br>
<br>
In 1993, with the Indonesian army
still occupying the country, John
Pilger and his crew including
director David Munro, slipped into
East Timor and made this film. In
the intervening 18 years, an
estimated 200,000 East Timorese –
1/3 of the population – had been
slaughtered by the US-backed
Indonesian military, using US and
British planes to bombard the
island, while Western defense
ministers proclaimed ignorance. John
Pilger tapes an Australian diplomat
admitting that East Timor was
considered “expendable.” <b>Even
the C.I.A. described it as one of
the worst mass-murders of the 20th
century.</b><br>
<br>
Pilger tells the story using
clandestine footage of the
countryside, internment camps and
even Fretlin guerillas, as well as
interviews with Timorese exiles,
including Jose Ramos Horta and Jose
Gusmao, and Australian, British, and
Indonesian diplomats.<br>

renewed arms sales to Indonesia; in
2010 he reversed a 12-year-old ban
on training an elite unit of the
Indonesian military -- the murderous
Kopassus. "<i>For years, the US
military provided training &
other assistance to Kopassus; when
the US was most involved, Kopassus
crimes were at their worst.</i>" ~
John M. Miller, ETAN<br>
<br>
"<i>Not even Pol Pot </i>[supported
by the US] <i>succeeded in killing,
proportionally, as many Cambodians
as the Indonesian dictator Suharto
killed or starved in East Timor.</i>
<i>... Unlike Muammar al-Gaddafi and
Saddam Hussein, Suharto died
peacefully in 2008 surrounded by
the best medical help his billions
could buy</i>." ~John Pilger,
filmmaker and journalist<br>
<br>
"<i>Peace must be secured by the
creation of small wars around the
planet on a continuing basis so as
to maintain an international order
of economic power, and of course,
keep the [US] military
industrialists happy.</i>" ~Henry

"<i>First, the 'free press'
suppresses vital information in
the service of the state; then, no
discussion of this suppression can
take place because [the blackout]
has been so effective that no one
has heard of the topic.</i>" ~Noam
Chomsky, on his Catch-22 with
Columbia Journalism Review; they
wouldn't publish his Timor piece
because <i><b>"virtually no one had
heard of Timor.</b></i>"<font

<br>
“<i>Virtually, there are no civil
rights in East Timor. The
Indonesians tell the farmers to
whom they must sell their coffee
and at what price. No one can
leave their villages or the place
of their residence without
permission. Telephone calls or
telegrams out of Timor are
forbidden."</i> ~ Rod Nordland,
American journalist, 1982<br>

<h2><i>The Manufacturing of a
President </i></h2>
"This book covers Barack H. Obama,
Jr's rapid rise in American politics
and the role that the CIA played in
propelling him into the White House.
Research is based on formerly
classified CIA and State Department
files, personal interviews, and
international investigations.
Obama's birth certificate has never
been the issue. The real issue,
which affects his eligibility to
serve as President of the United
States, is his past and likely
current Indonesian citizenship. The
reader will be taken through the
labyrinth of covert CIA operations
in Africa, Southeast Asia, South
Asia, and other regions. The real
history of President Obama, his
family, and the CIA quickly emerges
as the reader wades into the murky
waters of America's covert foreign
operations."<br>

Why should YOU care? It's YOUR money
that pays for US/Israeli wars - on
Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Palestine,
Libya. Syria, Iran, So America, etc
etc - for billionaire bailouts, for
ever more ubiquitous US prisons, for
the loss of liberty and civil
