Republic of the South Moluccas

chapter 7:

THE ESSENTIAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE RI

(a) A neo colonial state.

The R.I. Is a ratio colonial state build on the foundations of the former Dutch colonies in Southeast Asia and West Melanesia. The Indonesian nation does not exist. The word "Indonesia" is made up from "Indus" _ "India", and "Nesos"­"Islands" or "Archipelago". This term was introduced by the English Anthropo­logist Earl in 1850 to indicate the group of islands between Asia and Australia, including Madagascar, Malaysia, the Philippines and Papua. It is clear, that this isn't a nation, but a world of nations (1).

(b) A junta with five crimes. II

The international world knew the R.I.: as a constitutional state based upon the

Pantja Sila (the Five Norms). These norms are:

1. The one supreme God,
2. Humanity,
3. The unity of Indonesia,'
4. Democratic wisdom,
5. Social justice for the whole Indonesian population.

But when we use the Pantja Sila to measure the crimes of the R.I., we come to the conclusion, that the allusion of the Javanese poet Rangga Warsita is true, when he states:

• When Petruk became king, evil got a chance to manifest,
• On the wateraide they reached a compromisti to be able to do all the evil,
• Food was weighed, the pointer without numbers,
• The present system is nothing different from the former Dutch colonial i system,
• 50% of the Javanese people get rich like the Dutch; sorry for the Chinese,
• now the baraks are built of steel, but once they will disappear,
• in other words; the thief wilt yet be robbed in the future*.

From these words of Rangga Warsita can be concluded that the R.I. is a conspi­racy which manifested itself as a state, which rattles with the military wea­pons, ignores her own constitution and is guilty of a number of things, among others:

• The subjection of the peoples in Southeast Asia and West Melanesia (Maluku, Celebes, Malaysia and Timor),
• The policy of ethnocentralisation (or Javanisation, see chapter 9), aiming at the destruction of all non Javanese identities,
• The infiltration of the police and the army among the people to manipulate and intimidate the society to support the GOLKAR (the Indonesian's Army Poli­ tical Party),
• The lifelong detention of tens of thousands of people as political prisoners without any legal process, and murder of hundreds of thousands of souls from 1950 up to now, transgressing every limit of Humanity and Justice.

- wong tjolong djadi ketjolong. (2)

• The illegal exploitation of natural resources, causing the people to live in poverty; thousands of 3avanese are robbed of goods and cattle and populate the spaces under the bridgen.

It is clear, that not the Pantja Sila bot the Pantja Salah (the Five Crime s1,. is the foundation of the R.I.

Based upon these realities, we see that:

1. The R.I. isn't entitled to represent us, the nations of Southeast Asia and West Melanesia, at the United Nations.

2. The R.I. delegate at the U.N.O. is only there to express the authority of a movement, namely the armed movement, alias the junta.

c. The D.D.T. policy.

From the very beginning the R.I. had carried out the so Galled D.D.T. policy. The meaning of this abbreviation is: Demobilisant Ditatorial Territorium (mobilizing the power of the people to support the dictatorship to suppress the hereditary rights of the people). Some measures in this context are:

1. To define the Malayan Language as the "Bahasa Indonesia".
2. To change the name Papua in "Irian", the meaning of which is: Ikut Republik Indonesia Anti Nederland; next to unlawfully annexing West Papua in 1963, with the motive that West Melanesian Papua should be Indonesian property.
3. To usarp Maluku; already in 1946 armed political infiltrators were sent to Buru, East Ceram and even Leihitu (Ambon).

The activities of the R.I. against Maluku with the use of manipulated civilians would this way have a legal appearance. The impression would then be created that she was acting against rebels on the request of "loyal citizens"; both the main purpose of the R.I. was to create the impression that Maluku is her own property.

The policy of inciting people against their own compatriots to be able to govern dictatorially, which we Galled the D.D.T. policy, is being continued by GOLKAR (actually a political party of militaries). The GOLKAR is training special officers to infiltrate the society. These people are Galled the "puter­pra", which means: Pengawasan Umum Tentara Terhadap Bakjat, as civilians dis­guised army spies. After their infiltration they will tie the people to themsel­ves or intimidate them to finally subscribe as a member of GOLKAR, and in this way support the generals regime.

People who have never seen through this D.D.T. policy have reproached Soumokil ,Maluku), Qahardmuzakar and Andi Azis (Celebes), Daud Beureux (Sumatra) of being rebels. Only fifteen years later they themselves experienced the bitter taste of this policy. The "Gerakan 30 september" (the Movement of the 30th of September, 1965) was one of the first rising against this policy. Unfortunately half of the population of the R.I. understood the D.D.T. policy; it had become inevitable, that they became instruments of the generals regime to put out the fire of the revolution of the 30th of September. Thousands of people have been brutally slaughtered; tens of thousands of revolutionaries have been impri­soned, tortured and banished for a lifelong exile, without any form of trial, as political prisoners to Buru and Ambon.
