Indonesia, USA

The president's survival as a child growing up in Indonesia may have depended on his ability to ignore the genocide of people who looked like him and identify with their oppressors. More than 500,000 indigenous people of West Papua, who are dark skinned people, were murdered by Indonesians, and genocide continues in smaller numbers today. 


A man from West Papua smuggled the following video to me and requested that I make it widely available to people in the West. I uploaded the video at YouTube https://youtu.be/bQUfLGCkJQM and told him that he had probably made the worst possible choice about who should convey his message regarding oppression in his country (see the West Papua video embedded below. Warning: graphic violence). Since my own brother's secret arrest for three weeks and murder in the Memphis Shelby County Jail in 2003, I have been America's most censored person. Nevertheless, he asked me to help give his people a voice. Their plight seems ignored by the world as they endure mass arrests and massacres for any overtures toward independence and self-determination. The Indonesians, who are Muslims, seem comfortable abusing the people of West Papua, who are mostly Christians. Hear my source speak about current oppression in West Papua on four .mp3 tapes among the nine reference links below.

Numerous human rights organizations urged President Obama to speak against Indonesia's oppression during his trip there in November 2010. BBC News Reports "Human rights groups have accused the Indonesian government and military of human rights abuses including imprisoning nonviolent protesters, oppressing free speech and crushing minority religious groups. And incidents of political bribery and corruption have undermined Indonesia's claims to transparent democracy." That language may remind one of articles and radio shows by MaryLovesJustice that chronicle my own oppression, intimidation, censorship, and financial persecution as I oppose discrimination against Americans who are either black or mentally ill or both, a Christian duty according to Proverbs 31:8-9.

President Obama spent his formative years in Indonesia during its most violent period when over 500,000 people of West Papua were killed. Such atrocities being done to people who looked like him might have had a profound effect on the child, perhaps making him less willing or able to stand against the oppression of Black people or any oppressed people in the United States. Growing up during the genocide against indigenous people in West Papua, it is reasonable to assume that the president's mother and step-father cautioned him not to object when he heard Indonesian soldiers boasting about their murders for the day. That period was even more violent than the video embedded above shows (the video is more current), and the child could have developed a high tolerance for the crimes against humanity that have increased significantly in the USA. He may have had a strong desire to disassociate himself from the dark-skinned genocide victims or even to pretend not to know or care about the victimization of people who resembled him more than his own family members did. Whereas that self-protective reaction is understandable for a child, that response is totally unacceptable for a president who has a sworn duty to uphold the rights of all citizens as set forth in the U.S. Constitution and numerous other domestic and international laws.



Barack Obama sewaktu tinggal di Indonesia.

Rick Perlstein, a writer, speculated about the affect living in Indonesia during that gruesome period may have had on President Obama as a child. Perlstein told of a "massacre estimated in excess of 500,000 corpses—of Communists, supposedly, of course; but also of ethnic Chinese, Christians, and any other unfortunate communal persons. Wikipedia: Methods 'of killing included shooting and beheading with Japanese-style samurai swords. Corpses were often thrown into rivers, and at one point officials complained to the Army that the rivers running into the city of Surabaya were clogged with bodies.'" The first of ten(10) reference links below should lead to Perlstein's full article, "Obama in Indonesia."

Although Human Rights Watch and others asked for President Obama to use his trip in 2010 to influence Indonesia to stop its barbarism, BBC News and other media reported that "US President Barack Obama held up Indonesia as an example of how a developing nation can embrace democracy and diversity." A brief excerpt of the BBC News report is below:



'SHARED VALUES' OF USA AND INDONESIA
In his address, the president touched on the four years he spent in the country as a child and emphasized the importance of Indonesia's example as a growing economy and a majority-Muslim nation that is largely tolerant of other religions.

"Today, I return to Indonesia as a friend, but also as a president who seeks a deep and enduring partnership between our two countries," he said.

"Because as vast and diverse countries; as neighbors on either side of the Pacific; and above all as democracies - the United States and Indonesia are bound together by shared interests and shared values."



"Shared values" between the USA and Indonesia were exposed last fall as we watched militarized police attack peaceful protesters in Ferguson, Missouri as well as during the Occupy movement. See an InfoWars film at YouTube link https://youtu.be/lnXnWB0AZgg and embedded below. Throughout America, police insist on their "right" to kill unarmed Black people without accountability like their Indonesian brothers in uniform.



"Prosperity without freedom is just another form of poverty," President Obama said. "Because there are aspirations that human beings share - the liberty of knowing that your leader is accountable to you - and that you won't get locked up for disagreeing with them." The following December, he signed the NDAA (concentration camp) bill into law, which allows Americans to be indefinitely detained without trial for being perceived as "belligerent" by the White House.

I cannot pretend to be anything other than belligerent while unarmed Black children, men and women are catastrophically injured and killed by police officers who are very seldom held accountable for their actions. My belligerence shows when mentally ill Americans of all races are deliberately deprived of treatment then killed during lunacy arrests or as jail and prison inmates in abusive correctional facilities throughout this nation, where the press is denied admittance like the press is denied admittance to West Papua. I am belligerent over living as a virtual prisoner in my home for security with my phones and computers taken over to prevent disclosure about my own disabled brother's secret murder. While the human and civil rights of Black people and mentally challenged people of every race are continually trampled, and with protesters and journalists enduring attacks and wrongful arrests, we must all raise a belligerent fist and say to the spirit of Indonesia everywhere, "All lives matter!"

Boycott 4 Justice; Our Lives Matter


Only Big Business can order changes in the USA. Make them care about justice. Move protests to suburban malls for increased safety and effectiveness, and Boycott 4 Justice! (Stay on public property, and get permits where applicable.) Protesters must learn to Boycott 4 Justice, or march and mourn FOREVER over corpse after corpse in perpetuum. To us, Black lives matter. The lives of mentally ill and homeless people matter. Mass incarceration and wrongful convictions matter. To decision makers, only money matters. Enlist Big Business to care about justice by withholding what matters most to them - money.



92.1 million: Consumers who shopped on Black Friday in 2013. 248.7 million: Number of shoppers who were in stores and online over Thanksgiving weekend in 2013, up 0.5 percent over the previous year. (Stats are from nrf.com). In 2014, DO NO SHOPPING. Make Big Business demand justice for Michael Brown and other police victims. Demand federal charges against Wilson.



All lives matter. We have the power to effect change peacefully and without bloodshed. We have CONSUMER POWER! Let's use it. Power to the people!



On November 24, 2018, the grand jury in Ferguson, Missouri concluded that Officer Darren Wilson killing an unarmed surrendered black teenager, Michael Brown, did not matter. His death cost elitists nothing. Marching and burning local businesses cost them nothing. Temper tantrums were expected. Over sixty protesters in Ferguson were arrested and will now pay bonds or remain incarcerated and contribute to the prison industrial complex. Demonstrations are largely ineffective except for rallying support. The support is here. It is now time to launch a successful boycott throughout the 2014 Holidays. 




We must now Boycott 4 Justice to end unrequited murders of our children.



We must Boycott 4 Justice to end police terrorism and judicial misconduct against our human and civil rights activists like Rev. Pinkney, to stop the corporate takeover of public land and utilities like water, to stop the slaughter of surrendered suspects like Michael Brown, and stop spying and censorship through NSA.




We must now Boycott 4 Justice to end police aggression against our homeless people.



We must Boycott 4 Justice to save our relatives and neighbors with mental illness from mass arrest and wrongful deaths.




We must Boycott 4 Justice to stop endless wars.




Boycott for Justice because OUR LIVES MATTER!


Picket only at suburban malls. The shoppers should be ashamed to violate our Boycott 4 Justice throughout the 2014 Holidays. It will take more than temper tantrums to effect positive change. No shopping online or in person. Enlist help from Big Business to eliminate injustice in America. If marches and petitions matter to decision makers, Troy Davis would still be alive. Only military might and money matter to elitists. Remain peaceful, and keep your money. Power to the people. BOYCOTT 4 JUSTICE.

MONEY ANSWERETH ALL THINGS. ~Ecc. 10:19

Officer Wilson Acquittal: Boycott 4 Justice


1)  If Officer Wilson is Acquitted, Give No Excuse for Martial Law. BOYCOTT 4 JUSTICE. I believe marching is too dangerous and largely ineffective except for publicity, which Brown's murder already has thanks to previous demonstrations by all of the brave Ferguson protesters. At the end of this article is an alarming news alert from the City of Berkeley, Missouri, advising its citizens to take extraordinary precautions for safety in the event of Wilson's acquittal. Protesters were mostly peaceful during demonstrations immediately after Brown's murder, but police were not. Please recall that a cop was sent to stand behind Ferguson protesters and throw rocks at militarized police - perhaps to draw gunfire. Nobody is likely to be shot or arrested for not Christmas shopping. BOYCOTT 4 JUSTICE.

2)  Everyone who has children should buy each child only one toy if they celebrate Christmas, but stop purchases at that. Some Ferguson organizations plan a boycott for Black Friday (see the photograph above and a news article about the proposed boycott at the first of six links beneath paragraph no. 7). ALL of us should skip Christmas 2014 altogether if Wilson walks. Michael Brown's death must hurt Big Business, and then Big Business will demand justice for Brown and safety for other black youths. It doesn't cost elitists anything to release killer cops, and that is the problem. We must make Wilson's acquittal very expensive in order to get the Justice Department to levy federal charges against Wilson. We have the power. We have consumer power. BOYCOTT 4 JUSTICE.

3)  Send every discount coupon which you received from retailers back to retailers with "Michael Brown" written across them. Explain to children in your families why they will only receive one gift this Christmas, if they expected more. Have them to help protect THEMSELVES and their teenage siblings and cousins and friends by preparing toy ads for mailing back to stores with "Michael Brown" written across the advertisements with bold, black markers. Go online and order NOTHING. Instead send emails to manufacturers saying only "Michael Brown." Teach your children to BOYCOTT 4 JUSTICE.

4)  Boycotting is highly effective if enough people participate, but it is not as exciting as protesting. There will be no media presence and no one making rousing speeches. If you really miss the media and confrontations with police, go picket traitors going into the malls. Ask shoppers why they don't care that youths like Michael Brown are shot for walking while black. Do not block ingress and egress to and from the malls, but picketing on the sidewalks at street level should reduce the number of shoppers significantly. People were afraid and ashamed to shop in my town during boycotts in the 1960s.

5)  Picketing shoppers (with permits, if applicable) should provide the excitement and feeling of comradery that boycotting might lack. The police will surely come, but picketing at shopping malls would reduce the likelihood of police using army tanks, helicopters, rubber bullets, and tear gas on protesters, especially in Caucasian areas. If they do use such methods to violate protesters' free speech and freedom of assembly rights, watch NOBODY go shopping the following day. Success! BOYCOTT 4 JUSTICE!

6)  Not everyone can participate in demonstrations, but everybody can boycott this Christmas season, even timid or elderly people. Experience success while minimizing personal risks. Government ignores demands made by the People, but Big Business is never ignored. There is no better way to appeal to Big Business than to stop business. All of our protest marches in the 1960s had boycotts associated thereto. If success is slow, coordinate with unions and universities to add work strikes and school walk-outs. It would carry significant impact to add hotel and restaurant workers to the strike during the holidays, especially New Year's. Be effective, peaceful, and safer. 

7)  Thanks to protesters in Ferguson and throughout America directly after Brown's murder, we are set to achieve victory. All it should require to have federal charges levied against Wilson if he is acquitted is a little coordination and sacrifice - not more risks of harm. No adults ever got arrested for "not shopping", "not working," or "not going to school." BOYCOTT 4 JUSTICE. See a St. Louis Post-Dispatch article at the link below about the Black Friday boycott sponsored by a coalition of organizations demanding justice for Michael Brown. Their boycott should be observed nationally and span the entire holiday season to ensure success and bring greater respect for the lives of our young men of color everywhere. On the other hand, the article at the second link and the notice to Berkeley, Missouri citizens below should serve as a warning to everyone about where this issue can lead.

Stand Down, Ferguson: Camps Ahead

What happened during the Rodney King riots was a desperate attempt by a people who had long been deprived of due process in courts of law. For a period of time, African Americans were hopeful that police violence would be dealt with fairly in criminal and civil courts. That has not been the case. Therefore, the possibility of riots might indeed exist if Wilson is acquitted, but only because the justice system has failed to deliver on its promise of equal justice. In the event that the grand jury fails to indict, I certainly hope that there is no property damage and that no more people are hurt or killed in Missouri or elsewhere. I believe the best course of action if Wilson is acquitted is to press the U.S. Justice Dept. to levy federal charges, as was done in Rodney King's case, and that further demonstrations while tempers are high would be counterproductive.

Whereas Zimmerman was not a government employee, and the police had reportedly told him to stand down, that is not the case with Wilson. Federal prosecution should be the response to an acquittal by the Ferguson grand jury, should the acquittal occurs.

There is a time for all things. Ferguson is going to the United Nations, and the Justice Department has a job it should do to protect the right to life in the USA. Meanwhile, I caution protesters to be cognizant that in December 2011, the president signed the NDAA law, which permits the USA to detain citizens indefinitely without trial or any opportunity for defense. Many of us fought this law from coming to be, and we still oppose it. I perceive this law as a threat to the very idea of liberty and justice for every American, but particularly for the group that has the highest rate of incarceration presently, often without fair trials: African Americans.

Michael Brown was young and inexperienced, and so he died. I am convinced if he had known Officer Wilson would kill him, Brown would have obeyed Wilson immediately without words. The Ferguson protesters are not ignorant like Brown was about the viciousness of militarized police. At least two more young black men were killed in that area since Brown was, and a black woman is hospitalized with a gunshot wound to her head reportedly delivered by Ferguson police. Therefore, I implore Ferguson protesters to "go nowhere with an angry man," as the bible instructs. We have other options, the most important of which is to let tempers cool before embarking on any course of action should Officer Wilson be acquitted. History should teach us that any excuse would do to disregard the human and civil rights of African Americans, and there is a law that says "anything goes." Be angry, but exercise patience.

We have been concerned for some time about Martial Law and people being interned in the concentration camps that are waiting in America and foreign countries. It appears that the powers that should not be do not attempt to justly remedy wrongful deaths such as Brown's and my brother's and many other blacks endured in hopes that African Americans will give an excuse to institute Martial Law and use the concentration camps that are reportedly prepared, staffed, and stocked with supplies. How we respond to Ferguson if Wilson is acquitted could have eternal ramifications for all of us - meaning everyone in America. We have the ability to chose peace, which is really the only reasonable choice when opposed by such a formidable foe as this country can be if a people threatens its security.

Unless you want to be a suicide warrior and completely destroy this troubled peace we have had in this country since slavery officially ended, I advise everyone to STAND DOWN. There is a smarter way: Boycott 4 Justice.

Below is a photograph from Shark Island concentration camp in what is now Namibia. Read about it at http://usslave.blogspot.com/2013/06/german-roots-of-african-genocide.html and view the videos. Do not bet our lives that the U.S. Government has more scruples than the German Empire.
