| . There is no better historical documentary on E. Timor. It's long, boring, horrifying, fascinating and totally worthwhile. Much of the footage is not to be seen elsewhere. If there is a slant to the reporting, it's only uphill against the simplistic story... that nobody knows anyway. If there is truth in journalism, there are plenty of facts to be tested here. . |

| The CAVR report is rather lengthy so I'll just give you the numbers. Lowest possible number of conflict related deaths between 1974-1999 = 102,800 This minimum conservative estimate does not include conflict related hunger and illness deaths, which would bring the number up to a speculated 183,000. Spilger came to the 200,000 number based on a 1974 Catholic church estimate of the population of East Timor as being 688,711 people; in 1982 the church reported only 425,000. |

| You guys should watch "Merchandising Consent" w/ Noam Chomsky. This documentary is about how the media has censored the news (East Timor for example). This guy has been fighting for REAL free speech for a long time and is a highly respect professor,linguist and intellectual. This is an essential watch for all Americans. |

| How ironic!!!! The Portuguese president comment on genocide. This is the Western Hypocrisy of last 500 years on the premise "WE ARE HOLIER THAN THOU" The atrocities committed in Sri Lanka when they came to "civilize" Sri Lankans in 1505 would make Suharto look like a petty thug. |
Tell a friend:
In 1993, with the Indonesian army still occupying the country, John Pilger and his crew including director David Munro, slipped into East Timor and made this film. In the intervening 18 years, an estimated 200,000 East Timorese - 1/3 of the population - had been slaughtered by the Indonesian military. The C.I.A. has described it as one of the worst mass-murders of the 20th century.
Pilger tells the story using clandestine footage of the countryside, internment camps and even Fretlin guerillas, as well as interviews with Timorese exiles, including Jose Ramos Horta and Jose Gusmao, and Australian, British, and Indonesian diplomats.
Nixon had called Indonesia the "greatest prize in southeast Asia" because of its oil reserves and other natural resources. Even though Indonesia had no historic or legal claim to East Timor, it was convenient for diplomats to declare that East Timor, just gaining its independence from Portugal, would not be a viable state.
However the lie was given to this argument when Australia and Indonesia signed the Timor Gap Oil Treaty and carved up the huge oil and gas reserves in the seabed off East Timor.
None of the politicians from that period - President Ford, Henry Kissinger, Daniel Moynihan, Margaret Thatcher, John Major, Gough Whitlam - has clean hands. The Indonesian military used US and British planes to bombard the island, while the defense ministers proclaimed ignorance.
As Pilger gets an Austrlian diplomat to admit, East Timor was considered "expendable."
But no one watching the massacre in the Dili cemetery can excuse the geopolitical machinations that led to this genocide.
