In 2009, I traveled to Bangalore and Mysore. Spent a week in the sprawling provincial capital, absorbed the sights and sounds of the elites and the poor. I traveled into the maze-like networks of back lanes and confusing alleys; my outreach led me to the slums. Then I spent time in Mysore, a dusty and hot city. The long journey from Bangalore to Mysore was bearable as I was on an adrenaline-rush. I have tried to subdue this wader-lust, but with little success. Ah,[...]
On Twitter he is simply known as @PurePapua « a Papuan-rights activist. His goal is to see the liberation of West Papua from the imperialist, Indonesia. He believes in self-determination, he believes in the right of an ancient indigenous population to decide on their future, their land, their sea, their heritage, and their children. Can @PurePapua achieve what he and many others have decided decades ago? West Papuans risk their lives, their families, their livelihood, their way of life[...]

They first came for the Catholics, but I was a Protestant, so did nothing. Then they came for the Communists, but I wasn’t a communist, so I did nothing. Then they came for the trade unionists, but I wasn’t a trade unionist, so I did nothing. Then they came for the Jews, but I wasn’t a Jew, so I did nothing. By the time they came for me, there was nobody to speak up. ครั้งแรก “เขา” มาจับพวกคาทอลิก แต่ฉันเป็นโปรเตสแตนต์, ฉันจึงเฉยเสีย ต่อมา[...]
The police chief who is responsible for atrocities in occupied West Papua, Adj. Sr. Comr. Imam Setiawan, said that he would ‘finish’ those who support subversion. “Whoever supports separatism or subversion activity, I will do the same as yesterday [forcefully dissolve the 3rd Papua People’s Congress]. I’ll finish [them],” he said. AnarchyThe meltdown of emotions. The dysfunctional anti-hero of all time.

I had enough of writing for the consumption of others. Today I write for me. Me, me, me. Oh? Is the editor going to strangle me with barb wire if I do? Rubbish. The editor with-a-cute-nose will merely succumb to my unearthly will, to my unmatched authority! I shall not write for the amusement of others. Fuck them all. Today is MY DAY! Begone, Editor! Do not disturb me from the pit of madness and profanity. Allow me the dignity (if[...]
The right of a human being is not to conform to laws set by the government or by civilized society. The right of an individual starts with being an individual and having the right to their own body and thoughts. Why shouldn’t human beings have the right to their arms, their legs, their heads and their minds? Just because you have a conflicting view of what the government lacks, or how barbaric society has become does not mean you should[...]
Indonesia’s alleged focus on the welfare of West Papuans is a sweet cocktail of irony, deceit and hypocrisy, served cold. The Indonesian Government dodges away skillfully from the much-needed Independence of West Papua and the Administration’ s violation of human rights of the indigenous Melanesian-majority population. The systematic, genocidal attacks on the West Papuans has been on-going for many decades, while the international and regional communities collaborate in sustaining the illusion of Indonesia’s rightful occupation of the land. There is very[...]
West Papua, again is in the news. Not because the country has gained independence from Indonesia, the Tyrant. But as usual for the wrong reasons. Courtesy of Indonesian troops, there’s a hunt for so-called ‘separatists’ (and one wonders why they are not termed as ‘freedom fighters’!). The chaos fermenting in West Papua is solely the cause of Indonesia’s unlawful presence in the country. Don’t blame it on ‘tribal’ wars or bandits seeking trouble or chaos, just blame in on the[...]
The US has declared its support and backing for economical improvements, aid and further exploration of relations. Indonesia is truly fortunate to have the backing of the US. It seems that the US is pleased with Indonesia’s leadership within the region, and in ASEAN. Some say Indonesia may continue with such mandate, in line with the encroachment of China into ASEAN’s ocean and territory. Naturally everyone knows this. However I am disgusted with the US’ obvious blindness towards Indonesia’s suppression[...]
Australia has a strong track record of tolerating Indonesia’s violence against the people of West Papua. Similar to ASEAN, and other hypocrites of “human rights”. Despite the onslaught of the Indonesia Army into West Papua, the regional and international community does nothing concrete to intervene – the fact that Indonesia is still the colonizer of West Papua, and the severe violation of human rights against the Papuans. Hypocrisy of the South East Asian and Australian society. Their pretense of having a virtuous and[...]
