News Headlines (510) 23 June - 29 June 2014

ONLINE TODAY

► 23 June 2014 : A financial transaction makes you question a rather important component of your life -- but it's less of a problem than an opportunity. Roll with it and see where it leads, but don't break the bank. If you get the chance for a one-on-one meeting with your boss or if you're asked to give an impromptu presentation, jump on it. You can further your personal agenda with the greatest of ease at the moment, and you'll look great doing it. Your powers of communication are on fire, and you're able to be simultaneously forceful and charming -- a winning combination, indeed. It's a very good time to go after what you want.

► 24 June 2014 : You're a little worried about clutter -- or possibly a notable absence in your home furnishings. Whichever way the pendulum has swung, you need to help guide it back to balance. If any sign is equipped to handle arguments, it's you. Your ruling planet is Mars, the ancient God of War, and this means your astrological job is assertion. You'd never admit it, of course, but deep down, there's something about the adrenaline conjured by conflict that's positively addictive to you. So if, quite out of the blue, you need to take a stand, whether it's for yourself or for a loved one, that definitely won't be a problem. Just warn any innocent bystanders before the chase scene begins.

► 25 June 2014 :  Your fun, flirty energy keeps those around you active and engaged throughout the day. If you're single, now is a great time to show interest in one or more hotties. If you're partnered, try not to make them too jealous! Life is easy today, especially with the universe in such a generous mood. Everything is sweet and goes down smoothly, and you should feel quite fortunate. A few nagging doubts might threaten to ruin your fun, but don't get all bent out of shape just because things aren't perfect. Acknowledge your issues, then tell them to get lost, at least for the time being. Once that's settled, you can get back to the business at hand.

► 26 June 2014 :  When did life get this easy? Spoiler alert -- things are due to return to normal pretty soon, so you may want to coast along as much as you can before you have to actually start working again. You can easily keep from embarrassing yourself by watching what you say a little more carefully. It's weird how many blow-ups can be averted with a just little forethought. If everything goes south anyway, try a three-second rule when it comes to communication: Count slowly to three before you say everything that's zipping through that brain of yours toward your eager mouth. It's not as hard as it seems.

► 27 June 2014 : A family member comes to you with a problem or concern that only you can help with. It may interfere with your plans, but your obligations are shaping your life for the better, so go ahead and help out. Your mouth is going to get away from you again, in a very big way. No, this isn't really becoming a habit: You're just totally out of control on a verbal level lately. The good news is that while you'll wonder who that man behind the curtain is -- the one who's causing these strange and unusual things to fly out of your mouth -- you'll also receive such a happy reaction from your dear ones that you might end up sending him a thank-you note.

► 28 June 2014 : Today is perfect for thinking about energy and how you use it -- but not so much for actually doing things with it. You're more reflective and can make sense of more than mundane concerns. You've just about had it with that certain individual who's had it in for you. You're perfectly prepared to handle this, face to face, with the authority figures. The problem this individual may have -- and may not have thought of before they started this campaign against you -- is that you've been following all the rules, and they haven't. Should you take mercy on them? It depends on the quality of their groveling.

► 29 June 2014 : Kids feature in your day in some way. If you've got some of your own, it's a no-brainer; if not, you may get called upon to watch over some young ones or end up yelling at rowdy teens.

But what story is really being told?



► NEWS & POLITICS : Iraq Civil War Coming, Ukraine Fighting Gets Worse, IRS Lost Emails Targeting Conservative Groups. President Obama does not want to attack the ISIS or ISIL forces that have come down from Syria, and he does not want the Iranians to defend Iraq and gain influence. The Obama Administration has armed the Syrian rebels that are in part al-Qaeda related. If he starts bombing them, the campaign to oust Assad in Syria will be over. If he helps the government in Iraq, he will in turn be helping the Iranians.

Meanwhile, the Russians are massing forces on the Ukraine border according to NATO. Heavy fighting is reported in Eastern Ukraine between Kiev government forces and pro-Russian separatists. It is also reported a military convoy stretching 10 miles is on the road between Moscow and Ukraine.

The IRS claims it lost two years of emails from a key figure in the IRS targeting scandal. Lois Lerner's emails are gone along with other emails of people who have been accused of illegally targeting conservative groups. This is a juvenile and idiotic claim because emails are always backed up on multiple servers.

Ehehhee ... there are some similarities between them are derived from a blend of east and west beauty. Like coffee mixed with milk, a little sugar and then added a cup of warm water.

"The international bankers through lending capital to move freely in conventional banks have actually been destroying human civilization on Earth, a place where our children are looking for a bite of rice"

Far away there in the country, a wave of force is born, which will grip the world from all angles. Political, economic, military engineering, propaganda, heinous murder, or destroy life through banking debts and money world monopoly.

Another fact is, at this time, 90% of the Jews in the world are descended from the Khazars, or more commonly known as Ashkenazi Jews. These people have lied to the whole world that the land of Israel is their ancestral land, whereas the actual homeland of their ancestors in Georgia which is located 800 miles from Israel.

And whatever stories we have heard, during this period, the history of the destruction of human civilization is being started.

My dear handsome bald,
I'm also waiting for an expression of your thoughts on Orientalism, mmm ...maybe it is a kind of Zionism slut wrapped in Islamic studies.

Much love for you, mwah!

J'étais seul près des flots, par une nuit d'étoiles.
Pas un nuage aux cieux, sur les mers pas de voiles.
Mes yeux plongeaient plus loin que le monde réel.
Et les bois, et les monts, et toute la nature,
Semblaient interroger dans un confus murmure
Les flots des mers, les feux du ciel.

Et les étoiles d'or, légions infinies,
A voix haute, à voix basse, avec mille harmonies,
Disaient, en inclinant leurs couronnes de feu ;
Et les flots bleus, que rien ne gouverne et n'arrête,
Disaient, en recourbant l'écume de leur crête :
C'est le Seigneur, le Seigneur Dieu !

► Your creative powers are peaking today, so make sure that you're dealing with old problems in new ways. It's a really good time for you to brainstorm with your colleagues or family members. Here we go with the extra energy thing -- as if you ever needed any 'extra' energy. You'll be running on high, so it's really only fair to let everyone around you know they might be in danger -- but only if they decide to disagree with you. Or argue with you about the outcome of a certain situation. Or get between you and a project you're determined to finish. Other than that, you're not dangerous at all.

■ Hillary Clinton says she's 'thinking' about 2016 White House run

Clinton is just like my neighbor who likes to gossip. I know what she wants but I do not want to offend her. I just act as if she is an important person for me, by responding to a boring conversation every morning. And the most annoying is, she's gossiping as well asking me to serve tea or coffee for her and she's so excited to spend my favorite snacks, a jar, ouch ... imagine how annoying she is. And every time she goes back to her place, still I feel she can not stay at her place. She will wander on, eyeing my next tasty snack. Blah!

Mmmm ... Do you know one thing? Sometimes I am so ashamed to show my ambition, especially in my sexual ambition, ...wow! Oh yes, I always felt he would laugh out loud with the reason I took off my bra, for example. He would shoot me with one quick and high power despicable question, "Want me to make you orgasm?" (Why do you feel great because you feel has made me orgasm? Do not you think that I can achieve sexual orgasm because I allow myself to it. It's my body, damn you! My body is not yours, but mine, understand? If we are not cooperative then I can make you look like a clown, not a great sexual performer. So, be careful with my heart.)

To avoid me in getting sexual intercourse is just a showcase for the imposition of one's self-image, so I never put myself become "too easy to be guessed". But I'm definitely going to look for ways to make him more eager to find me, no matter how much I want him than he wants me at any given time.

Well, I'm not sure of the relevance of this story to what is desirable by Hillary Clinton, but at least she should have a bit of "prestige" in targeting the U.S. presidency. You are a lady, are not you? So, do not be "so greedy as men".

► America's Dead Sea. Deep in the desert of southern California sits one of the worst environmental sites in America—a former tourist destination that has turned into a toxic soup: the Salton Sea.The sea was born by accident 100 years ago, when the Colorado River breached an irrigation canal; for the next two years the entire volume of the river flowed into the Salton Sink, one of the lowest places on Earth. The new lake became a major tourist attraction, with resort towns springing up along its shores. Yet with no outflow, and with agricultural runoff serving as its only inflow, the sea’s waters grew increasingly toxic. Farm chemicals and ever-increasing salinity caused massive fish and bird die-offs. Use of the sea for recreational activities plummeted, and by the 1980s its tourist towns were all but abandoned. The skeletons of these structures are still there; ghost towns encrusted in salt. California officials acknowledge that if billions of dollars are not spent to save it, the sea could shrink another 60 percent in the next 20 years, exposing soil contaminated with arsenic and other cancerous chemicals to strong winds. Should that dust become airborne, it would blow across much of southern California, creating an environmental calamity.

I wonder, "Why is this controversial figure championed as a presidential candidate by a handful of people?" Our respondents have an inventory of his black records, including his temperamental behavior and emotional. Until this moment, Prabowo does not have the slightest intention to provide better information about the location of bodies of 13 activists who may have been killed in 1997-1998. Prabowo was also dishonorably discharged from the Indonesian National Armed Forces. He was the only general who had dishonorably discharged by the military throughout the history of Indonesia.

Prabowo is also the main alleged perpetrator in May 1998, Trisakti shootings, Semanggi tragedy and so on. Many of the results leads to Prabowo. He is also the main actor in the corruption, collusion and nepotism in order to master the new forest concessions, plantations and mines (coal and oil) 3 million acres from Sabang to Merauke. He's an expert in deceiving the people with populist economic jargon, but he never once showed any real concern for the fate of farmers and fishermen in Indonesia, especially to migrant workers, do not expect the defense or even the slightest bit of empathy from Prabowo.

(Will be continued. I will contact our sources and find out more things about Prabowo.)

INDONESIA: No justice for victims of Semanggi I tragedy 13 years on

An interview with Maria Katarina Sumarsih published by the Asian Human Rights Commission

BACKGROUND: After the fall of Soeharto in May 1998, Indonesia has seen little improvement in its political and human rights situation. A large-scale student demonstration demanding total governmental reform and better handling of the country’s financial crisis on 12 May 1998 resulted in four students being shot dead by the military. The demonstration continued on 8-14 November 1998, when the students rejected the Special Session of People's Consultative Assembly (Sidang Istimewa Majelis Permusyawaratan Rakyat/MPR) for its unconstitutional nature, and demanded the president address the financial crisis. This saw the death of 18 students, with hundreds more injured.

Maria Katarina Sumarsih is the mother of BR. Norma Irmawan (also known as Wawan), a student of Atmajaya Catholic University, Jakarta, who was one of the students shot dead by the military on 13 November 1998. The House of Representative (DPR RI) rejected this case to be taken up by the ad hoc human rights court since Semanggi I is not categorized as a gross human rights violation. This interview was conducted to commemorate 13 years since the tragedy.

1. Could you tell us about the incident that happened to you?
On 13 November 1998, my child Wawan, a student of Atmajaya Catholic University, active in campus and society, took part in a peaceful protest demanding the rejection of the special assembly of the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR), since the MPR needed to be reformed first. Before the protest, the students had held public discussions and other activities in order to open space for dialogue and prevent a recurrence of the Trisakti tragedy. According to the Human Rights Violations Investigation Commission (KPP HAM) Report by the National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM), at 10am local time, in front of Atmajaya Catholic University, Wawan and his six friends were trying to neutralize the air from tear gas by spraying water hydrant. When one of his friends was shot, Wawan asked permission from one military officer to help his friend. After permission was given, Wawan raised a white flag as a sign to help his friend. However, when Wawan went to lift his friend, he was shot. According to the autopsy result, Wawan was shot with a standard military bullet.

2. How did this incident impact you?
At that time, I cried and prayed. The atmosphere at the house was quiet. I just cried and prayed. My husband read and wrote. My other child, Irma, studied. Everybody just did their own business. Housework was not done by me, but my husband. Every time I smiled, there was a sense of sadness. However, after a long process and many people’s support, I can live as usual; I can even speak out regarding human rights violations now.

3. Could you tell us what you have done to fight for this case?
For the first three months, I just sat in silence and read the newspaper at Wawan's grave. Then, I wished to get a copy of Wawan's autopsy result and met the military police. The chief of the investigation section (Kasidik) stated that the political pressure was very strong. Even though Wawan and I were right, we would be considered as wrong. He also asked me to bring witnesses regarding this case. I had proposed five witnesses, but the military police never called them.

I also met KontraS, Tim Relawan Kemanusiaan (TRK), students and others. After I heard a sermon at church about Wawan, I decided to fight. When I heard there was to be a peaceful protest at Hotel Indonesia traffic circle (Bundaran HI) held by women activists, I joined it, and met many activists. I also then became active in many human rights activities, such as dialogues, seminars, gatherings and others.

Together with NGO's and other victims, I also did lobbying and took part in hearings with relevant institutions. The House of Representative then established a special committee (Pansus) to investigate this case. The result was that three factions agreed that Semanggi I was a gross human rights violation, while seven disagreed.

After Law No. 26/2000 concerning the Human Rights court was enacted, the Supreme Court asked us to urge Komnas HAM to investigate this case.

Two years later, Komnas HAM conducted an investigation into the tragedies of Trisakti and Semanggi I & II. Komnas HAM declared the tragedies to be gross human rights violations. However, the result of the report went back and forth from the attorney general. Once, the attorney general even stated that the result was lost. As of now, the report is still with the attorney general, and he still rejects to investigate and submit the case to the ad hoc human rights court for baseless reasons, such as nebis in idem (the principle that no legal action can be constituted twice for the same cause), when in fact there has been no previous trial for Semanggi I.

In 2008, we met Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. He promised that he would establish the ad hoc human rights court and punished all perpetrators. In 2011, we also met the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs, Djoko Suyanto. He made the same promises as the president. Until now however, there is no action at all from the government. The case still has to wait for action from the attorney general.

4. In your opinion, what are the current possibilities for you to get justice? What obstacles do you face?
While I am waiting for the settlement of the case at the attorney general’s side, I always participate in the silent protest every Thursday in front of the Presidential Palace. I also cooperate with the Indonesian History Teacher Association (Asosiasi Guru Sejarah Indonesia/AGSI) to tell the truth about the Semanggi tragedy to students. I also made a book based on victim testimonies. I want to say that we cannot be silent even though the government neglects our case for years. I always participate in the silent protest, yet I will never be silenced. I and other victims even sent a letter to the president, without caring whether our letter will be read or not. We will do everything that we can. Regarding our letter, some of our letters were replied, yet the answer is normative; just stating that our case should be settled in accordance with the law.

The obstacle I face is impunity--the law enforcement not performing their function, and political obstacles. While the House of Representative passed a law regarding the human rights court, some articles did not give justice to the victims, such as provisions regarding amnesty for the perpetrators and so on. The government also did not implement the law; for instance it did not establish the ad hoc human rights court. Moreover, while the president promised us to prevent the recurrence of such tragedies, he appointed people allegedly responsible for human rights violations as state officials.

5. The Semanggi I case has been going on for 13 years. In your opinion, how is the condition of the other victims? Are they still fighting?
Some of them are in despair, such as Yap Yun Hap's mother. She stated that she felt like screaming in her room, “The one and only person to hear me is myself. The government is not listening.” The other victims have died or are sick, so they cannot participate in the fight. I think that must be understood, since every person has their own limits. Fortunately, I have to thank God because until this day, God has given me good health.

6. Have you ever felt tired and thought about quitting?
I feel tired actually. However, like a candle which is never suppressed and a narrow alley which has no dead-end, my spirit won't go in difficult times. I will not stop fighting. As long as Wawan is in my soul, I won't stop.

7. What is your motivation to keep fighting?
My motivation is my love for Wawan. He always supports me. My sorrow has been transformed into love for humans, whether they are victims or not.

8. In your opinion, who is the most responsible in your case?
The president at that time, B.J. Habibie and the top person of the army, Wiranto, are the most responsible persons in my son’s case because the command system in the military is very disciplined. Nothing is done without orders from superiors.

9. What is your hope and demand?
I hope the government urges the attorney general to investigate all human rights violations, such as the tragedies of Semanggi I and II and other cases. The right or wrong must be declared in court. The House of Representative must make the recommendation to the President to establish the ad hoc human rights court. If there is an argument that this case cannot be brought to the court because there is no proof, that is absolutely a mistake.

10. What is your message to the international community?
I hope that the international community urges the Indonesian government to solve the human rights violations in the country. I am aware that without any support from the international community, our case will never be heard by the government, like the Munir case. Even though the main perpetrator was not found, Munir's case would never have been submitted to the court without international support. I also hope that the international community voices its concern for all cases of human rights violations in Indonesia.
