JEFFREY WINTERS, Ph.D: “BEING TRUTHFUL, … DARE TO BE HONEST.”
By Beni Bevly
“If there is hell, he will burn eternally. I have no nostalgia for Suharto period. The only good thing he did, he tamed the oligarchy.”
Jeffry Winters, Ph.D.
In a discussion with one of my colleagues, he mentioned an interview conducted on December 14, 2005 by Peter F Gontha on QTV, an Indonesian TV channel with Jefrrey Winters, Ph.D, a Southeast Asian Political Economy Professor from Northwestern University, Chicago, USA.
Finally, I have the opportunity to watch it. There are 6 episodes on Youtube.com. At first, I thought it was already out of date, but after watching it, here is my impression, “Wow! Jeffrey is really being truthful and dare to be honest.”
In episode 3, among others, he points out the following cases:
30th September Movement or G30S/PKI and the United States role
East Timor
Pancasila
Berkeley Mafia
The contrast between Sukarno and Suharto
Below is the episode 3 of the interview:
I also suggest you to watch episode 5 and 6.
