Menuduh mereka partisan karena pernah diminta pemerintah untuk bantu reformasi hukum; padahal kalo mereka ga pernah dipanggil, serangan ad hominem bakalan “dih siapa tuh pernah denger juga kaga”. Si penyampai pesan akan selalu diserang, karena substansinya tidak bisa dilawan.

Democracy Now! discussion re Gen Prabowo Subianto's sponsorship by the US as he was doing the massacres & abductions, how the state aparat is coercing poor people to vote for him, and how he has tried to bring #Indonesia in line with #Israel. democracynow.org/2024/2/13/prab…

Saya melaporkan, pada 7 Feb pejabat militer& intelijen Indonesia membahas rencana mencurangi pemilihan untuk memenangkan Jend Prabowo.Di dokumenter Dirty Vote yang baru saja rilis para profesor hukum merinci prosedur penipuan. Film ini telah ditonton lebih dari 8 juta kali & kini

Last night I Tweeted a link to Dirty Vote,the just-released documentary about vote fraud in Indonesia.Gen Prabowo's men threatened th filmmakers&filed criminal charges against them. Now that link has been blocked. Here's a new one that works,for the moment youtube.com/watch?v=01olcF…

After a decade of shielding generals from prosecution for torture and murder, Jokowi has now succeeded in making the worst of them -- Gen Prabowo -- Indonesia's next president.

When he takes office October 20 the old US protege Gen Prabowo will assume control of the army, intel and police. He'll have the power to kill, arrest, & surveil. When he ran in ’19, Prabowo had a plan to go after “as many political opponents as possible.” allannairn.org/2019/04/breaki…

Prabowo is not the president yet, but the Indonesian military has announced plan to build 22 additional military commands across the country—currently we have 15. They will add 4 in West Papua alone. It can only go downhill from here.

US presidents of both parties have long acted above the law when it comes to murdering foreigners, ordering invasions & assassinations & facilitating genocides without the slightest fear of prosecution. And now that the Republican Supreme Court majority has given its imprimatur

As Trump viciously ranted against immigrants, Harris said not one word in positive defense of them. This despite the fact that so many risk their lives to come here to work for US Americans while often fleeing countries the US decimated by sponsoring massacres & labor repression.

In one of the clearest statements of US foreign policy ever given, Trump has now essentially proclaimed himself the dictator of #Venezuela.

Purportedly in part because Maduro stayed in power after losing an election, Trump, the invading foreigner, has now seized all power without election. #Venezuela

US forces' snatching of #Maduro was such a technical success that Trump will be tempted to dream of making similar moves elsewhere, including domestically. #Venezuela

Though Trump's fascistic impulses still face some constraints domestically, they can find fuller expression overseas where US establishment tradition lets presidents rampage with impunity. #Venezuela
