JEFFREY WINTERS, Ph.D: “BEING TRUTHFUL, … DARE TO BE HONEST.”

with 39 comments

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 At first, I thought it was already out of date, but after watching it, here is my impression, “Wow!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.

  2. Anymatters, what can I say? Even though the nation (US) which is known always conveys human right still have this kind of attitute. Winters’s statement even convinces me that there must be strong moral forces/pressure groups in every single nation to defend people’s basic human right.

  7. Tragedi Mei terjadi karena Indonesia terlena oleh bius IMF dan Bank Dunia. Keasyikan ngutang sementara cadangan devisa mendekati zero, sehingga pada saat dolar merajalela Indonesia tidak sanggup mengimbanginya,ditambah banyak utang yg sudah jatuh tempo (harus dibayar)pada saat yg bersamaan, jadilah Indonesiaku nyungsep tidak ada ampun, masih ingat photo Presiden RI menanda tangani LOI di depan Camdessus yg tersebar diseluruh dunia? (kalo lihat photo itu aku nangis). Akhirnya Suharto yang perkasa waktu itu menyerah kalah, karena dengan tanda tangan LOI itu seolah olah Indonesia sudah tergadaikan.Jadi mundurnya Suharto waktu itu bukan karena Demo Mahasiswa lho ya, jangan pada GR. Malaysia mempunyai cadangan devisa yg cukup kuat, sehingga mampu menandingi kedigdayaan dollar, sehingga malaysia cepat pulih dari krisis.

  29. Despite the fact that I really enjoy the conversation going on here… I do have a very quick problem that I really need to have resolved before the day’s end. I am close to work with Comcast 3103 E Grant Ave Fresno CA 93702 – (559) 354-9118, but am a little cynical. I’ve had some debt consolidation businesses previously not deal with me well, so I want to prevent that by getting a few other consumers opinions on them.

  30. Although I really benefit from the discussion going down here… I do have a very quick query that I really need to have addressed prior to the day’s end. I am about to go with Comcast 2-118 NE 1st St Fort Lauderdale FL (954) 213-6988, but am somewhat cynical. I’ve had some debt consolidation businesses prior to now not treat me well, so I want to avoid that through getting several other consumers opinions on them.
