Unrest in Indonesia – The BIG Issue?

Having lived in Jakarta or thereabouts for more than two decades, I have come to love the city, despite it’s frustrations, notably the traffic…

.

.

..but I still use public transport, which has certainly improved over the years…

.

.

…with the TransJakarta buses a big improvement on those old kopajas.

The bonus from using buses is that I get to talk to lots of local people and often see the same folks on the same buses they use every day to work or college.

One such is an undergrad guy, who likes to talk politics.

He used to say he was only interested in the subject academically, but he was impressed that I had once been a student anti-communist activist.

Like most Indonesians, he understands how evil communism is.

However, this month has changed him.

He just told me today that he had joined the turbulent demo last week!

Why?

Because he likes freedom.

Much media coverage has concerned the benighted moves to jail those ‘guilty’ of extra-marital sex…

…

…which has been happening for thousands of years in every country but seems to get uptight old (and younger) windbags here terribly steamed up.

Islamist to Sexy Model: ‘Don’t Thank Me, Thank Allah!” 

oooooooooooooooooo

Especially when they’re caught!

Far worse, in my view, is the ‘blasphemy’ nonsense – various Western media have mentioned this as a cause of the rowdy unrest, but I cannot pin-point any specific alteration planned.

As if the law were not already quite oppressive enough, as shown by the imprisonment of Jakarta’s best-ever governor, Ahok, two years ago, merely for quoting a verse.

=

Ahok

Slouching Towards Shariah, Indonesia Jails Ahok! 

Some malevolents even wanted to have him executed!

There’s also an imbecilic clause about insulting the head of state.

And there are issues about the campaign against corruption, which is at least as offensive to decent people as the Brussels/Strasbourg rip-offs are to the subjects of the EUSSR…..

“I’m Interested In…”“Oh No You’re Not,” Say Strasbourg Slugs! 

Brussels Lush Again – Your Taxes Pay For This Bum’s Booze! 

…which are not oftimes reported here, although local scandals are!

Beef Scandal – Islamist Fanatic Luthfi Jailed ‘Till the Cows Come Home!’ 

…

I offer you a link with more details on the demo and the reasons.

https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asia/indonesia-protest-against-proposed-law-changes-criminal-code-11941522

So which did my commuter-pal object to most?

Not the so-called ban on ‘free-sex’ – ‘but you foreigners must beware,’ he laughed!

Nor the ‘blasphemy’ blather. ‘It will make no difference,’ he said, ‘Ahok never blasphemed but they jailed him anyway!’

Nor even the corruption issue. With a ruling class like ours, he shook his head sadly, corruption will never end.

NONE OF THE ABOVE!

My bus buddy wants to be free to insult heads of state.

.

.

Not that he especially dislikes President Jokowi  – in fact he says the incumbent is ‘not a bad guy.’

But he savours what he reads about life in the West, where EVERYBODY insults every politician every day!

If They Were Your Daughters? Merkel’s Never-Ending Evil 

And with good reason, I had to admit!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Parisian Piglets And Other Gallic Brats!

I haven’t yet commented on the Yellow Vest phenomenon, simply because I’m observing its development.

Obviously it would be tres bon to see Le Muppet ousted…

…

….

…but at the same time, it looks like Antifa Red Nazis have attached themselves to respectable protesters and are out to injure or even kill cops doing their duty.

.

.

However, the BBC last night featured spoilt brats, whom it described as ‘students’ – though its full report revealed the young louts were merely schoolchildren!

Spoilt brats, ’striking,’ ’blockading’ their schools, and even setting up road-blocks!

AND burning cars, for God’s sake!

Seven teenagers were arrested after riot police were called to the Jean-Pierre Timbaud high school in Aubervilliers in the northern Paris suburbs where a car was overturned and bins were set alight.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/dec/03/students-blockade-schools-as-french-protests-spread

…

….

And what sort of penalties will be imposed?

We know French courts are often weak and gutless.

 In France, As In America, Judges Betray Their Country 

…

Enough is enough.

Those squealing Aussie piglets we wrote about a few days ago…

Brats Demonstrate…Their Ill-Disciplined Irresponsibility! 

….seem to have gone unpunished for their truancy. France should show more sense.

If these callow clowns refuse to attend their classes, and use the time that such indiscipline affords them to engage in lawless mayhem, they should be at once expelled  – and prevented ever sitting any exam for academic qualifications.

…then scan the news for today’s brunchtime bloggery.

So how about this?

This mob, of approximately 200 students, was then allowed to take control of the campus, after the administration ordered campus police to stand down..

That’s part of an excellent article in spiked.com, which I noticed today and it is appalling to read what happened in a place called Evergreen State College, in Washington ( the state, not DC) in the USA.

You can read it for yourselves here. http://www.spiked-online.com/newsite/article/bret-weinstein-and-the-cowardice-of-college-leaders/

Evergreen State College Students Demand Professor Leave Campus On No White People Day, He Refused

  http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2017/05/30/evergreen_state_college_students_demand_professor_leave_campus_on_no_white_people_day_he_refused.html

But the questions that occur to me are –

A  – does this dump get federal funding, and if so when will it be cut off?

and…

B – has the dump got any admission standards at all, and if so, when will they be raised, to exclude cretinous hooligans incapable of debate (‘This is not a discussion,’ the rabble ranted) who seek to impose educational apartheid in the 21st Century?

 

Java Killjoys Ban Valentines! Why? ‘Non-Compliance!’

Told you so!

Less than 24 hours ago, we posted on the cultural marxist war on Valentines in the USA. We mentioned the annual killjoy-fest here in Indonesia…

Valentine Wars Back Again – But Not Just in Indonesia! 

..and sure enough, an uptight eruption has just been reported from the fine city of Malang, East Java!

Metrotvnews.com tells us that Malang’s Education Department has issued a diktat prohibiting students from elementary to secondary level from celebrating the festival of love next week.

The ban is contained in the Circular (SE) Number 421.3 / 0452 / 35.73.307 / 2016 – but the reasoning is as laugh-provoking as some of the cards on sale in every city mall. Valentines do not comply with the moral values, religion, and culture of the Indonesian nation, both inside and outside the school.

NB – so not only are these wowsers out to fatwa in-school activities, but they seem to think they can dictate what kids do at home or out on the town.

And how blatantly sectarian – Valentine, as a Christian saint, may be unpalatable to fanatic Muslims – though not to normal Muslims who know it’s just a bit of fun.

–

‘Reject Valentine Day’s Heathen Culture!’

—————-

But this decree applies to all schools, not just Islamic ones. Who do they think they are, these sticky-beak bureaucrats?

With sublime arrogance, the letter also advises parents to keep an eye on sons and daughters not to do negative things that can harm themselves.

Yeah, right – as if normal mums and dads neglect that duty any day of their lives! 

“We hope the schools actively monitor their students,” said Head of Education Department, Zubaidah.

She’d have done well in the Stasi!

—

Zubaidah with the Diktat!

——-

And she’s a vindictive old besom (I say ‘old’ but those awful head-scarves do tend to make women look older than they really are!)

 Zubaidah also asked schools to impose sanctions if their students are caught celebrating Valentine’s Day. http://jatim.metrotvnews.com/read/2016/02/06/480439/pemerintah-malang-larang-siswa-rayakan-valentine

Minnesota Morons – Expel These Academic Ignoramuses!

We have covered moronism in academia in various countries. Here’s this week’s example.

ooooooooooo

——————-

…anti-Israel extremists stormed into a lecture at the University of Minnesota in a disgusting display of academic bigotry against Israelis. 

 

Israeli scholar Moshe Halbertal, a professor at both New York University and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, was scheduled to give a presentation on the ethics of war. He helped write the Israel Defense Forces’ code of ethics and is a well-respected academic.

 

Protesters systematically stood up one by one and repeatedly yelled anti-Israel slogans for over half an hour. When someone was removed from the hall by university police, another started chanting, making it impossible for Halbertal’s talk to proceed. The police were eventually forced to lock the doors to prevent more protests.

 

Protesters even called for the annihilation of Israel — chanting “from sea to sea, Palestine will be free” — a reference to the creation of a Palestinian state across all of Israel and the murder or expulsion of over six million Jews.

 

The University of Minnesota cannot allow such hate-filled demonstrations to take place on its campus.

 

Add your name to call on university administration to protect academic freedom and stop academic bigotry against Israelis.

 

Thank you for your support.

Will Brussels Shrill for the Butchers of That Bengali Blogger?

====================================

Another innocent blogger has been brutally murdered by filthy savages.

Third atheist blogger killed in Bangladesh knife attack
————————————-

This killing comes only a month or so after the previous such vile violence.

That previous cowardly murder was carried out, allegedly, ludicrously, by swine described as ‘religious students’ in many media, on whose behalf the EUSSR may soon be bleating.

————————

Note that familiar blend of vacuity and evil in their faces

ooooooooooooooooooooo-

It seems those two admitted their guilt. 

Their victim apparently sent them into tantrum mode by criticising Islam.

Washiqur Rahman…was apparently targeted for his writings about Islam….he opposed what he called irrational religious belief…

Rahman had apparently expressed solidarity on Facebook with Avijit Roy, the Bangladeshi-American blogger who was hacked to death Feb. 27 in Dhaka for “crime[s] against Islam.”   

Bangladeshi Blogger Hacked To Death; 2 Students Arrested

————–

—————–

I have yet to hear any sane person – several savages, yes but no sane, civilised human being – argue that criticising ANY religion should be grounds for murder.

Nor should it be in any way a punishable offence.

But leave that aside for now,

0000000000000000000

In Bangladesh, vile murder of this sort still means that any sectarian pigs convicted could be, rightly, put to death.

Of course there’s no guarantee of that, unfortunately, as some of the security forces are infected with the poisonous ideology that motivated the scum in the photo.  

Rafida Ahmed, the injured wife of the slain blogger Roy, recently accused elements of the local police of standing by idly while her husband was butchered. “While Avijit and I were being ruthlessly attacked, the local police stood close by and did not act.”   http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/wp/2015/03/30/islamists-hack-another-blogger-to-death-in-bangladesh/

But what about David Cameron?o

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

What is not in doubt, alas, is that if any vile terrorist is proven beyond a shadow of a doubt to have slaughtered any innocent person, in Bengal or anywhere in the world, and is sentenced to the right and proper penalty, then David Cameron will order his Foreign Office flunkeys to fan out to save them.

He is a sicko of course, but he will himself be acting on the orders of sicko degenerates in Brussels, who – as always –  will be up there on the world stage, hysterically seeking to save the swine’s skin.

The EUSSR never met a condemned killer it didn’t want to save.

Ayo, Indonesia – Boikot Swinburne, Kecuali Si Bego Dipecat!

I see a media storm is breaking over that overbearing ass in Melbourne. Arogansi Dosen Melbourne – Dasar Bego Diskriminator!

==========

•   University of Swinburne’s Dr. Julian Oldmeadow

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

No wonder – it’s been much of the day since I heard of his infantile tantrum and I’m still simmering. His bullying of young students will fuel the xenophobes in Indonesia, who never need much fuelling, but still welcome new opportunities to exacerbate tensions.

It’s easy to bark back at the clown Oldmeadow. All bloggers bark, but how about some PRACTICAL steps in response?

So I’ve been thinking.

Having read what he surely doesn’t believe anyone will see as a meaningful apology – it’s riddled with an evidently engrained determination to push his own prejudice down everyone else’s throat – it seems to me that his employers should be faced with a clear choice.

Stop trying to get their paws on the big bucks they earn by recruitment of Indonesian students …

—

—

OR

Show Swinburne is serious about welcoming young people from this rather nice country by dismissing the bully and hiring somebody more tolerant of other points of view.

So how about sending them a message? Email contacts galore here- http://www.swinburne.edu.au/contacts-campuses/contact/

Just say what you think of Oldmeadow, tell them they should fire the fool, and advise them that Indonesians do not enrol in foreign colleges to be treated like lepers by jumped-up babblers.

—————

Not that Swinburne is the only culprit.

One of my commenters has brought my attention to the Australian Catholic University’s sudden establishment of ‘scholarships,’ to honour the dead drug-smugglers. Surely a novel concept of ‘martyrdom’  – even PM Abbott has expressed puzzlement over the Papal lapdogs’ Pablovian performance.

And in fact the Catholic clowns in charge there are quite blatant in their intention to use the ‘scholarships’ as a means of indoctrination of young Indonesians into the left-lib absurdity that the death penalty itself is unacceptable.

•  Craven

–…the university’s vice-chancellor, Prof Greg Craven, said in a statement “in a small but symbolic way, the writing by Indonesian students on the sanctity of life would be an ongoing contribution toward the eventual abolition of the death penalty in Indonesia…”

Muddying the waters again.

The dead drug-smugglers – one issue. Capital punishment in general – another, separate issue.

How many Catholic Australians, like decent Australians of all faiths and none, rejoiced, like me and most expats in Jakarta, when those Bali Bomb swine were put to death?

Of course the death penalty is perfectly in order for heinous crimes like terrorist murder, among other things.

These self-righteous college crack-pots need to be put in their place. Which is NOT in the political arena. 

 

Arogansi Dosen Melbourne – Dasar Bego Diskriminator!

What a bloody disgrace!

 TRIBUN-TIMUR.COM is probably not the only Indonesia media source reporting that some A-hole academic in Melbourne punished innocent Indonesian students to assuage his inordinate anger after the drug-smugglers were executed last week.

• University of Swinburne’s Dr. Julian Oldmeadow demeaned his position as lecturer in psychology by a flagrant discriminatory ban on Indonesian undergrads entering his class last Wednesday. 
• http://makassar.tribunnews.com/2015/05/01/dosen-australia-larang-mahasiswa-indonesia-masuk-kuliah

When I was teaching English in Jakarta, I taught many young people who hoped to continue their education in Australia. Since I was their teacher, it was not my place to impose my political or religious views on them.

–

–

But sometimes we’d stage a debate for older teens, and it was very clear they were for the most part pleasant and fair-minded youngsters, excellent ambassadors for their country, uncontaminated with the fanatic drivel that afflicts the undesirable minority here.

It’s exactly that sort of student who got kicked in the teeth by obnoxious Oldmeadow’s spiteful outburst.

“…I would like to express grief, sadness, anger as an Australian and human being. I choose to do so by (a) stating my objections in the class, and (b) to say that I would ask for Indonesian students to not attend my class.”

=====

==============

Shame on this arrogant bego!

Frankly, I’d not have believed this story to be genuine, but I checked out overseas media and sure enough, it’s true. The clown has since been shamed into an equivocating apology, but if Swinburne University wishes to preserve its reputation, he needs to be dismissed.  

A spokeswoman for Swinburne told Daily Mail Australia the university ‘treats all student complaints seriously and is formally investigating this matter.’

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3063467/Students-left-shocked-disgusted-Melbourne-university-lecturer-told-class-going-ask-Indonesians-leave-wake-Bali-executions.html

F— You Too, Sydney Morons! Riot ‘Students’ Need Language Lessons!

I’ve been impelled to look through Oz news today after a most peculiar euronews item last night, which depicted a bunch of foul-mouthed morons trying to force their way into a building to which they clearly had no right of access.

When police prevented them, the cameras focused on the spoilt brats wailing about their consequent discomfort.

• ———–

————————

• The euronews footage, imbecilically, was accompanied by the words ‘No Comment,’ so viewers were left to figure out what the heck was going on.
• Which is how I’ve spent the last thirty minutes or more, working on the basis of the only substantial clue the stupid tv channel provided, the New South Wales police uniforms, which I recognised from my frequent visits to the ( increasingly very arguably ) Lucky Country!

====================

• 
• ========================================
  • Turns out the wailers were ‘students’ – evidently without qualifications in civics or civility – protesting about some new education reforms, and the meeting was a lecture, to which they’d indeed not been invited, by Australia’s Education Minister, Christopher Pyne.

  Even the lefty SMH had to report the truth, that police acted to keep the students from storming the building. The protest had up to then been peaceful. Chants rang out such as, “Chris Pyne,  f— you, we deserve a future too.”

  http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/protest-at-christopher-pyne-sydney-speech-turns-violent-as-students-pepper-sprayed-20150213-13dsnh.html

  Well, actually, they DON’T deserve a future in subsidised higher education, if that’s how they behave. 

  Students are of course entitled to march and stage protest meetings, assuming their home-work assignments are up-to-date!

  They’re not entitled to barge into whatever private property they choose, nor to disrupt other people’s meetings.  

• They are not above the law.
