For real? Well, applying one drop rule, he is also first yellow president, isn't he?
if you want to understand even more deeply where this black president really is coming from -- as i said -- CIA mother responsible for overseeing the complete ''clean-up" of communist, or socialist ''thought" in indonesia in the 1960's -- and putting in power - in education, in EVERYTHING a completely capitalist system -- (indonesia WAS a socialist leaning country like iran, iraq, libya were, for example) and thriving quite nicely thank you very much --
decades later -- indonesia is the TROPHY of american/western capitalism -- even MORE so than in the USA -- TURBO-CAPITALISM at its 'best " ..
PLUS the rise of very radical, xenophobic islamists - as the USA AND west used indonesia long ago as one of the first 'experiments' in which to introduce wahhabist 'saudi' style sunni islam
which has now basically taken over..that's an entire 2 generations worth of usa-western led 'experiment'
and of course little talked about in the 'global media'.
AUSTRALIA had a huge hand in that -- in toppling the SUKARNO socialist system by 1965 -- at around the time of obama's elementary school there with his ''anthropologist" mother working in the ''villages" -- of course to weave her CIA financed NETWORK of ''counter communist, socialist" operation - basically to get rid of every potential influence ...against the oncoming american'=-western corporate and system take-over.
TODAY -- in support of the right wing junta that has been established EVER SINCE 1965 -- THE other 'controlling" force is of course this same radicalized ''super nationalist" radicalized islam - helped of coruse in its spread by -- who else ? the Hundreds of billions of money of saudi arabia - the same one that funds global terrorism
as a TOOL of american/western 'regime controlled chaos". along which to of course introduce this turbo-capitalism.
that's the basic 20 c history of indonesia in which BARACK'S MOMMY played a critical role...
this is of course quite well-known among asians as a matter of course about those decades.
it should benoted that in the 1980's there were those genocidal massacres by the indonesian - now far -right pro USA/WESTERN regime over the EAST TIMOR island natives...
which of course the western humanitarian's CRIED crocodile tears...about...
and then USED THAT same ''genocide by the indonesian government" -- THEIR CLIENT of many decades by then since the 1965 destruction of SUKARNO'S independent and socialist government -- with its TRADITIONALLY very moderate sunni islam -
as a justification to then 'SAVE TIMOR" -- and THEN specifically - the australians were the ''representatives' of the western cabal governments -- to come to the ''humanitarian rescue"
and give support to TIMOR ''INDEPENDENCE FROM INDONESIA" ....probably having made a bargain with the indonesian government, i wouldnt' be surpriosed --
AND THEN upon ''autonomy and independence" by east timor ...
HELPED THEMSELVES TO writing TIMOR'S laws - which MEANT OF COURSE
australian, american and other western corporatiosn came to drink up on the NATURAL GAS AND OIL AND MINERAL RESERVES that were discovered just before that ''genocide" by the indonesian regime...
see ho wCLEVER they are?
SET UP A PEOPLE to be massacred by a 'BRUTAL REGIME" - that just happens to be an ally or was in a long string of similar regimes set up DECADES before THAT (1965) -
then CRY crocodile tears -- to justify ''coming in to help to independence" and THEN put DOWN ANY revolt or refusal to accept the ''democratic laws of the new free country"
with all the happy corporate ROBBERY of THAT small country's RICH OIL AND GAS that was recently ''prospected" by technology experts of -- who else -- but the western corporations.
FEW PEOPLE KNOW -- that right after the second world war --
australian scientists actually PROPOSED to their government to come up with a secret chemical program -- genetically specificed to export and introduce into FOOD programs throughout ASIA
for the express purpose of ''population culling" for the USA, australia and UK -- leading the way -- to 'control the population' of non-westerners...
did people know that/ ? even afica was alreaady considered to COMPLETELY eradicate the black peoples ...i kinow it is shocking -- because it sounds like it comes from science fiction...
but HITLER had NOTHING on them .....
they didn't quite go through with it -- but it was actually proposed --
now IMAGINE wha tGMO'S and ''VACCINATION" PROGRAMS are like today as BILL GATES AND COMPANY ''kindly suggest"
to AFRICA -
etc where there are RICH LANDS TO BE HAD..BY A CERTAIN u know how ''race''...
so -- don't be surprised WHY these wars in the middle east PRODUCE exactly what they produce -- from TERROR tp millions starved and migrants -- etc....
it is FAR MORE HORRIFIC than people realize - in its TRUE purpose and its nature of bestiality -- uncomfortable as that is to confront....

Jakarta Riots: What Went Wrong? | New Eastern Outlook
Author: Andre Vltchek
An enormous rally shook Jakarta on the 4th November. With unusual zeal, between 50 and 100 thousand protesters managed to trash several parts of the capital. Cars were torched; traffic in the center came to a standstill. Police fired teargas canisters at the protesters and water cannons were used. According to the AP, one elderly man died and scores of demonstrators and policemen were injured.
These were the biggest demos in recent years. Considering how many profound problems Indonesia is facing, the country is shockingly compliant.
Were these protests against the on-going genocide in Papua, where Indonesian forces are massacring the mostly defenseless local population on behalf of Western companies?
Or perhaps, were they against the corrupt turbo capitalist regime, which has governed this virtually collapsed nation ever since the 1965 US-sponsored military coup against the progressive President and the father of the Non-Aligned movement, Sukarno?
Frankly, none of the above! In Indonesia, the horrors committed in Papua are not discussed publicly at all, and capitalism remains sacred here; even the poorest of the poor are conditioned to revere it.
The riots were actually over alleged ‘blasphemy’, and the participants consisted mainly of hard-line Muslim fundamentalists. Lately, religious ‘topics’ are the only ones that are managing to mobilize crowds of ‘outraged’ citizens.
So what went wrong this time? Actually, nothing really!
As reported by the BBC and others, “Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, a Christian, is the first ethnic Chinese to hold the governor’s post in the capital of the majority Muslim Indonesia.†His nickname is ‘Ahok’, he is extremely popular, and he is one of the very few Indonesian politicians who are determinedly cracking down on corruption while introducing various social programs for the poor.
Most Indonesian hardcore Islamists are extreme-right wingers. They regularly attack and disperse even the most ‘benign’ political gatherings where the introduction of free medical care and other social benefits are shyly suggested and discussed. To them, everything social stinks of ‘Communism’, and Communism has been banned here ever since the 1965/66 Suharto bloodlettings.
The religious rightwing cannot win politically; therefore it regularly plants seeds of disinformation and chaos.
“Ahok said, during a meeting with voters, that there are those who are misleading the population, while using verses of the Holy Koran,†explained Ms. Ira Muslim, a Jakarta-based engineer. “They say that people should not vote for Ahok, because the Koran says that Muslims are not supposed to have a non-Muslim, kafir, as a leader. Nine days later, a man called Buni Yani, edited the official video into a much short version. He omitted several words in the transcript, and the document totally changed its meaning, reading that Muslims are actually deceived by the Koran itself.â€
Mr. Buni Yani (interestingly a graduate of Ohio University, Southeast Asian Studies) later admitted his deed, which should have closed the matter. But it didn’t.
The demands of Ahok’s opponents soon ranged from dragging him to the courts, and to directly murdering him. Several preachers demanded Ahok’s blood, despite the fact that the two largest Muslim organizations in the country ordered their members to stay home and not to join the protests.
Professor Isna Wijayani, a lecturer at Bina Darma University in Palembang, explained:
“I personally like the way Ahok works. As for those ‘religious statements’, controversy could have been easily resolved if things would have been openly discussed. But Indonesian mass media does not want people to stay calm; it ignites dangerous passions. Anyway, even if Ahok would be guilty of blasphemy, things could have been resolved within the legal framework, not by trashing the capital city.â€
Most Indonesian linguists agree that there was no trace of blasphemy in the original discourse by the Governor of Jakarta. Ms. Yeyen Maryani from the Ministry of Education and Culture publicly stated it, and so did many others.
For now, the riots are over, but the anti-Ahok activists demand that decisive legal action is taken within two weeks, “or elseâ€!
*
Who is behind this embarrassing mess? Surely it is not just some bunch of religious fanatics. In Indonesia, things are never that simple!
Mr. Agus Suhartono shared with me his belief that there are clear signs of the involvement from the highest ranks of the Indonesian political ‘elites’:
“The situation in Indonesia is now very dangerous. SBY [Susilo Banbang Yudhoyono, former President of Indonesia, a retired general] has been using his leverage to stir up the conflict at any cost. Ahok incident is just the tip of the iceberg. I am afraid that the real problem is much bigger than that.â€
Most likely it is: SBY’s son is now running against ‘Ahok’ for the post of Governor of Jakarta.
“What do they really want?†Ms. Susy Nataliwati, a researcher of Japanese Studies at the University of Indonesia, asked this rhetorical question: “It appears that they want Ahok to be disqualified from running for his second term in officeâ€.
While the Western mass media is only talking about the blasphemy case and the radical Islamist groups, the true issues are much bigger: corrupt, right wing, pro-Western and pro-business elites of Indonesia are jealously guarding their ruling position in this already plundered and devastated archipelago. There is still plenty of booty above and below the surface! After 1965, money and ‘control’ over people is all that matters.
Is this the final assault against Ahok, or just a warning? The current President of Indonesia, Joko Widodo (nicknamed “Jokowiâ€), began his political career as a ‘pro-people reformist’, but after he encountered determined hostility, even menace, from the true rulers of this country, he lost his courage and briskly converted himself into a spineless ‘centrist’.
And how does Islamic extremism fit into all this mayhem? For decades it was actually only a tool of the corrupt generals and extreme right wing market fundamentalists, many of whom were not even Muslims.

Alleged humanitarian efforts have always been a rather important aspect of the state propaganda campaign carried out by the White House and its media. We’ve seen Washington using its pocket NGOs to fight against the alleged “humanitarian crimes†of the Syrian government, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba and other states that Washington declared its enemies.
