CIA ATTACK ON CHURCH?

Church Bethel Injil, in Solo City, Indonesia, following a bomb attack on 25 September 2011.

Who has a history of attacking churches?

And why might they want to target churches, and mosques, in Indonesia?



Indonesia's president Yudhoyono on the right.

According to the Washington Post, the former chief of staff of the Indonesian army, General Tyasno Sudarto, has denounced the United States; and he has praised China as a model of how to stand up to Washington.

The CIA may want to continue stirring things up in Indonesia.

On 25 September 2011, a bomb attack outside a pentacostalist church in the city of Solo, in Indonesia, killed at least two people.

Note the pyramid on the pentacostalist church in Solo.

Two days before the attack, a priest and a human rights activist warned of a shadowy campaign to stir up violence similar to the recent sectarian clashes in Ambon, in Indonesia's Maluku Islands.

Police are working to match the identity of the bomber in Solo with a suspect named Achmad Yosepa Hayat, who is being hunted for his role in the recent Cirebon mosque bombing.

President Yudhoyono has confirmed that the explosion at the church in Solo is linked to the Cirebon mosque bombing in April. (Solo Attack Tied to Cirebon Mosque Bombing: SBY)

There is a suspicion that the CIA's pentacostalists are trying to make Indonesia like Pakistan.

The Tehelka newspaper revealed that, in India, over 100 US Christian evangelical groups were fronts for the CIA. (1 - Tehelka - The People's Paper)

Church in Ambon

William Blum (Indonesia 1957-1958 KH) has reported that the CIA attacked churches in Ambon.

"In the early months of 1958, rebellion began to break out in one part of the Indonesian island chain, then another.

"CIA pilots took to the air to carry out bombing and strafing missions in support of the rebels...

"On a Sunday morning in April, a plane bombed ... a church, which demolished the building and killed everyone inside...


In more recent decades, much of the terror in Ambon has been linked to Christian gangsters, directed by sections of the military, trained by the CIA.

In 2002, Berty Loupatty, the leader of the Christian Coker gang, surrendered to the police. (http://www.infid.be/kopassus_maluku.html)

Berty Loupatty claims that most of the terror in Ambon and Maluku was stage-managed by the military.

Members of the Coker gang said that Kopassus (special forces) soldiers gave them directives, weapons and bombs to carry out every attack (in 2002). (AFP, 8 January 2003)

Most of the top Indonesian generals have been trained by the US military. Some Indonesian generals, such as Suharto, have reportedly been assets of the CIA.

So, in September 2011, activists have warned of a campaign to foment sectarian violence

"In recent days journalists and activists have received text messages - proven to be hoaxes - telling of invented or exaggerated attacks on Christian churches in the country...

"The messages are eerily reminiscent of the rumors that sparked the Ambon clashes on 11 September.

"Seven people died in the violence, which is believed to have been spurred by a text-message rumor that a Muslim man who had died in a traffic accident had actually been tortured and killed by Christians.

"Activist Theophilus Bela told Spero News that he had recently received similar text messages telling of assaults Christian churches in Poso...

Solo Suicide Blast May Be Linked to Ambon Violence: Police

An investigator in Solo’s bomb disposal unit said that the suspected bomber appeared to be about 35 years old, and that the scene was similar to an earlier attack carried out by Sharif, who detonated a bomb at a mosque in Cirebon, West Java, in April.

THE CIA'S NINJAS AND PENTACOSTALISTS TO MAKE INDONESIA LIKE PAKISTAN?

Indonesians

According to The Wall Street Journal, "Indonesia is in danger of sliding in the direction of Pakistan." (Indonesia's Next Challenge)

The CIA is not happy that Indonesia is increasingly friendly with China. (China Ready To Take Part In Realising The Expansion Of Indonesia's economy.)

In 1998, mysterious Ninjas, said to be linked to the CIA, murdered hundreds of people in Situbondo, and surrounding districts, in Indonesia.

Someone was trying to destabilise Indonesia and its president, Abdurrahman Wahid.

In June 2011, The Economist tells us about a Christian woman, a Pentacostalist, who was kidnapped in Situbondo by men in Islamic clothing. (Religious extremism in Indonesia: Under attack)

According to The Economist:

On 9 June 2011, in Situbondo in Indonesia, Aprilia was abducted by three men after leaving a church service.

She was found battered, but alive, hundreds of kilometres away.

She managed to get home after local farmers gave her some money for her bus-fare.

In 2011, there have been around two dozen attacks on churches in Indonesia, mostly on the main island of Java.

This 'Kidnap' Case looks fishy, if you read The Jakarta Globe

"The men dragged her into their car.

"Once inside, Aprilia managed to send a text message to her mother and two dorm friends that she had been kidnapped...

"Aprilia claimed she had been bound and blindfolded inside the car, then brought to an empty house where she was beaten and slashed repeatedly, before being dumped in the middle of a cornfield."

The Situbondo Police chief of detectives said Aprilia’s story was inconsistent and full of holes.

"Like the fact she was able to text her mother and her friends after she was kidnapped," he said.

"How did she do that? Why would the kidnappers allow her to do that?"

Sunarto also said her family had refused to let her be questioned by police. "How can we trust her if we’re not allowed to speak to her on the pretext that she’s still in shock?" he said.

He said there seemed to be no motive for abducting her, given that no ransom demand was made and they barely said a word to Aprilia.

What about the Ninjas in Situbondo?

Peter Dale Scott has written about the Ninjas at - http://www.fair.org/extra/9901/java.html

In late 1998, black-clad ninjas murdered hundreds of innocent people in East Java, in Indonesia.

Some of the victims were mentally handicapped youths, easy targets. (Murder in Java: Psychological warfare and the New York Times)

Bloody decapitated heads were paraded around the streets.

Reportedly, the killings were part of a psychological terror campaign ( like that waged in 1965 by the US-advised Indonesian Army, when at least 500,000 civilians were killed.)

In 1998, as in 1965, there was the distribution of death lists to terrify the public, the arrival of assassins in trucks, mutilation of corpses and display of body parts in public places.

Some observers believed that a faction of the US-trained army was fomenting terror to justify a military crackdown.

Army members were arrested by local authorities for the killings, and then mysteriously released.

Pro-democracy activists in Jakarta pointed out that'Ninja' is the term popularly used to designate the Army Special Forces (Kopassus) in disguise.

"The U.S.-trained Kopassus Special Forces were the preferred assets of the CIA and Pentagon."
