West Papua Cry

West Papua people was convinced by Bung Karno to join Indonesia in the vote between Indonesia and Deutch. They were promised by him to have a better future. Years after, the Indonesia victory was began to fade because of the imbalance development. The gap between east and west became prominent.

In 1967, Soehartonian government sign an agreement with Freeport, Inc to mine copper in Tembagapura. Many years, waste from the mine was exported to overseas. The dictactorship of Soehartonian government made people have not enough courage to examine what was happening back there. Independent studies to examine the mine was forbidden.

Almost after 20 years, the sneaky play was discovered. The 'waste' was containing gold! Yes, we are deceived for years. Where are the law when they are needed? None of the Indonesian politician dare to sue Freeport for the corruption. None!

This is just a game of politics. Wanna prove? How many civil right was taken when the Indonesian army torturing the Papuan to protect Freeport? Lots of them. And where are the international society? None of them dare to mess with that. Freeport is a big corporation from ... so no one dare to shout against ....

To all Indonesian politicians:

There are no such thing as free lunch. You may enrich yourself. You may corrupt many many things. But remember, in the end, you only put yourself and your family in the risk. You messing around with your surrounding, causing riots, and then the flame itself burn you because you are in the middle of it.

Stop think right here right now! Think tomorrow!

STAN vs. UI

Ugh, kasihan banget adek gue. Saking kepinteran dia jadi dapet Akuntansi UI dan STAN. Jadi bingung mau masuk yang mana. Beberapa orang (termasuk orang tua gue), menyarankan masuk STAN. Gue malah memperburuk suasana dengan membela memasuki Akuntansi UI, maklum bela almamater. Duh, gue jadi merasa bersalah bikin dia ragu-ragu. Kira-kira enakan masuk mana, yah? Gue juga gak tahu keuntungan masing-masing. Hasil debat sementara: ~ Untuk jangka panjang masuk UI, untuk jangka pendek STAN. ~~Tapi, dia itu kan cewek, ntar pas menikah kemungkinan besar karir terhambat. Eits, ntar, dulu, sekarang kan jamannya emansipasi, bisa aja cowoknya yang jadi BRT. ~ STAN sarang korupsi, kalo masuk STAN jadi pegawai negeri. Kalo mau kaya harus korupsi. Tapi kalo masuk UI, lulus masuk jadi akuntan publik. Sekarang ini, orang membayar akuntan publik untuk memanipulasi nilai pajak dan aset. *SIGH*. Jadi gak ada yang beres ~ dll. Yah, udah gue jadi bingung, apa lagi dia nanya saran gue. Buah, gue gak pengalaman ...

I Hate Marvel Civil War Storyline In Comic

See this snippets from The Amazing Spiderman: [1] http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/4625006.html The snippets on [1] made it clear: Stan Lee made Spidey have a strong believe in Privacy. The comic strips show how Spidey even have to face charges because of his anonymity. The accuser even made many accusation to other entities for political attacks. A fan-art/art I've found in the 90's illustrated Spiderman standing in front of Peter Parker tomb. I don't know if that was originally from comic book or fan-made, 90's are a long time ago. That art mesmerized me and introduced me to the importance of privacy. In late nineties, I was joined to a program hold by an NGO. So, at that time I know how crucial a privacy was (and still is) to humanity. I'm not exaggerating! Humanity would fall to big financial organizations if people could not voice their fears in anonymity. Whistleblowers around the world would not dare to come up. We would not see any suppression ge...
