Kutip:
Hi,
I am new to this forum.
I've learnt from several people that Soeharto, the ex-president of Indonesia, came into power because of CIA (US) involvement. Apparently, CIA had been trying to assasinate Soekarno, the previous president, several times unsuccessfully.
CIA and Soeharto then somehow created a conspiracy to take over the power from Soekarno by blaming the September 30, 1965 incident, to the Communist party (which at the time was one of the biggest in Asia after the Chinese Communist party under Mao, and the Vietnamese Communist party) and as a result, eliminate and ban the Communist party in Indonesia, and led to one of the biggest massacres commited in the world forgotten by the media and the world altogether. Over 500,000 people were killed over the period of several months and more followed as Soeharto gradually, with the support of CIA, took the power away from Soekarno and put him into house arrest. And later, Soekarno died during the house arrest, but the general public in Indonesia believed he was assassinated by the CIA or Soeharto.
I would like to know if there's an disclosed public announcement by the CIA out there that would support this Indonesian recent history ? Supposedly, CIA publishes new public disclosure every 20 or 30 something years about their involvements or other important affairs they have involved with.
Further, does anyone in this board know anything about this and could enlighten me with more info, data, websites, back up ?
Thanks
