Nee, niet fijn om te zien, voor hun nog erger POSTED ON SHARPTALK FORUM I have not posted here for some time after becoming tired of having to interact with trolls and half wits who the ADMIN were NOT diligent in screening or removing to allow for meaningful discussion but I made a commitment to speak out on the issue of West Papua starting this year even more vehemently then I have been in the past. This post will no doubt attract the usual rhetoric and trolls but I will choose to ignore those who have nothing tangible to add and pay attention to those who have something worthy to contribute. I am wiling to accept all manner of criticism and no doubt that will come thick and fast but such is life. Now, I am also encouraged by the vast improvement in the use of social media by Papua New Guineans who have realized the power of this medium for communication, education, awareness and coordination of actions for the greater good and are actively using social media in a more responsible manner. It has indeed saved lives, found lost children, reported crime and highlighted issues of concern and I predict will influence the next elections significantly. Many elected leaders do not like social media. Thats why many are not on it. Or at least as themselves. Some do read it. Many want to regulate it. I am of the opinion that as leaders, we placed ourselves in positions where we will attract critical attention and that comes with the territory. I also believe social media is the necessary counter to controlled manipulated mainstream media. It can and MUST be used for also addressing wrongs in this country, region and indeed the world at large. It is a FAR more powerful means for the people to influence decisions then any other. Mainstream media are bought and manipulated by those who PAY. Social media belongs to the people. That is why efforts are now being made - at the best of powerful corporate forces using international organizations, that they also OWN - to regulate the internet. Anyway, my post is about West Papua. It is about the need to be constantly and continuously striving to collectively correct this heinous act of inhumanity carried out with the complete complicity of the powers that now control the globe and proclaim to be the protectors of freedom and democracy...in reality, they are protectors of those who finance them and who control them and whose puppets they are... Back to the topic, the West Papuan issue, I shall post at various intervals to remind all of US that just across the border we share with INDONESIA, are a Melanesian people just like you and I who have dreams and aspirations too and who wish to be part of the free world but who are suppressed and oppressed in the MOST horrific manner, brutally, tortured and killed. All with the complete knowledge of the West, the United Nations and all the other global entities that are part of the current empire that manages the Matrix we all live in... Today, I would like to highlight the amazing contrast in the recent events that have occurred in West Papua and Paris. In West Papua sometime in December 2014, 5 students were brutally killed by Indonesian Government forces while protesting the bashing of a 12 year old West Papuan boy by soldiers. Many other harsh and brutal acts of violence followed against West Papuans in keeping with the trend since the UN without consideration of the interests of the West Papuan people and at the behest of the US gave West Papua to Indonesia in 1965. Literally hundreds and thousands of Melanesians have died at the hands of the military and intelligence services of the West sponsored Indonesian Government. Reporting by Western Media since 1965 has been virtually miniscule if any. Today, thanks to improvements in technology especially the information sector especially the internet, substantial volumes of the truth are seeping out and invading the world. No longer can Indonesia and their sponsors in the West simply hide this horrible genocide under the veil of pseudo democracy. Photos, videos, testimonies and statements of fact are now available. A people suppressed and oppressed, our people, are now finally heard. Meanwhile in Paris, a shocking act of brutal terror occurred in the last 24 hours. 12 people were murdered. The West has been in a frenzy ever since. Again, no one denies that murder in whatever form is wrong. Again, the stark contrast whereby what is happening in West Papua goes on unnoticed by the West and the UN while much gnashing of teeth and public outcry occurs about anything similar occurring in areas deemed to be controlled by the West. The mainstream media - owned and manipulated by corporate forces of course - are now having a field day. Images of Ban Ki Moon the UN Secretary General condemning the Paris Massacre flood our TVs and mobile devises. SO did Ban Ki Moon condemn the killings in West Papua? NO. Neither has our Government. They visited last year. Many great things were said about opportunities to trade with Indonesia. One Minister attempted to bring power across the border to PNG and said so in various statements. It did not eventuate. Lots of interesting events transpired after hours I am told and many scandals were covered up. So why this post? I will tell you why. Regardless of your views of me, some will support me, others hate me, others could not careless, the fact is OUR PEOPLE across the border need us. Just as African Americans in US history needed Reverend Martin Luther King Junior to speak for them and rise up and do something and finally bring about the impossible so that they now live as free people, the West Papuans need us. This year, to step up efforts to bring attention to the plight of West Papua, I intend to write a letter to the UN and every other organization that needs to understand that the West Papuan people are being killed and brutally imprisoned against their will and need to be FREE... Join me and place your signature on letter when I complete it and have it delivered. Speak about it to everyone who needs to know, family, friends, colleagues, neighbours and raise concern. Share everything you can about West Papua when you can. Gather and attend meetings and forums and commit sometime to give our West Papuan people the freedom that you and I enjoy and finally, speak to your members of parliament to raise the issue and if they dont, VOTE IN SOMEONE WHO CAN.... Besides the issue on West Papua, other issues I am concerned about which I am certain you are too are: A better tax regime that benefits us Remove Djoko Tjandra Ban Round Log Exports Ban Seabed Mining Review MANUS ASYLUM SEEKER DEAL Investigate and Remove all Transnational Criminal Entities that control our resources especially Forest and Marine. Seize all their assets and jail those found guilty of crimes and deport after they have served their term in the general population wing of the Bomana Hilton. Action the Finance Inquiry, the NADP Report, RESI, SABL Report and every other report, create a Investigation body of professional investigators and a prosecution of capable lawyers, create a special court for corruption cases only and prosecute all those involved and use the Proceeds of Crimes Act to seize all assets purchased with stolen monies Review all Tax Exemptions granted to giant multinational corporations Rebuild our Disciplined Forces instilling Command and Control and Honour Rebuild and modernize the public service and SOEs and make it work Place all DSIP and PSIP in the ADMIN under proper legal transparent procurement system Remove ENTIRE CSTB and contract a professional firm to carryout this function with stringent guidelines Create a Land Trust to monitor and protect land use for PNG interests Build a credible National Security Apparatus Seize all land stolen through land grabbing scams and schemes Improve quality of education and health to acceptable world standard Remove dual wage system and ban fly in fly out systems Amend land laws to place resource controls firmly in the hands of PNG Review Trade Agreements and Develop a PNG interest friendly foreign policy Reintroduce protected businesses list Take control of our economy Ambitious? Yes, many who do not want us to succeed will tell us so and discourage us...and many of us will believe it and act accordingly...but it is very achievable...just review your decisions in the next elections and make your VOTE count. Social Media will influence the next outcome. Everyone here reading this can influence others and is in someway a leader. Many do not have access to social media but they certainly will listen to those who do. Why? Because it is YOU who pay for the deaths, births, marriages and other important events and situations of concern that we as Papua New Guineans from families and clans and tribes are obligated to meet. Today, if we are suffering, it is because of the decisions made at the last elections. 5 Minutes of Lambflaps, beer na hamamas go tulait....5 years of misery....CHANGE THE TREND! Some have said many times that we should remove all current MPs and vote in a fresh lot. I agree. I too am willing to make way for those who can work together to take back PNG, NO ONE MUST BE DEEMED INDESPENSIBLE... PS. I may not make it in 2017 but I can say this, if we do not attend to the above list (it is not exhaustive and many other issues of concern surely are out there) then we will NOT own the future...we will relegate our future generations to spectatorship, subservience and misery...we will be no better off then our brothers in West Papua...but by choice...OURS Gary Juffa POSTED ON SHARPTALK FORUM I have not posted here for some time after becoming tired of having to interact with trolls and half wits who the ADMIN were NOT diligent in screening or removing to allow for meaningful discussion but I made a commitment to speak out on the issue of West Papua starting this year even more vehemently then I have been in the past.
