TO THE CRISIS CENTRE DIOCESE OF AMBOINA (CCDA)
 Other articles of Joshua Latupatti (most in Indonesian)
Dear CCDA,
You have been one of trustworthy news sources for many people. I myself very often
use your report as comparison to others. I think I have to thank you for that, besides
the fact that you are the easiest electronic news to get from Ambon.
I might be mistaken, but sometimes you seem to insert a little ‘tendency' in your
reports that I do not like that much. Even so, I can recall that only once that I reacted
to one of your report. Since the visit of those "Religious Leaders" including one
Reverence from your side, you have been a little over-reacted with your report. It's all
up to you, whether you feel like following those, I called, "hypocritical religious
leaders" or you feel like serving the truth as you ought to, ‘cause I do not really care.
What I do care so much is "the truth" and "my people" who have been suffering so
much, and need not additional slayers and liars to fill up their cups of misery. Let us
look at you latest report (Report No. 265, April 23, 2002)!
THE SITUATION IN AMBON / MOLUCCAS – Report No. 265, Ambon, April 23, 2002
1. DISCIPLINARY MEASURES – In order to avoid any regularities on and around
April 25th, the annual commemoration of the RMS Separatist Movement, Governor
M.S. Latuconsina as the Civil Emergency Administrator announced that there will be
a curfew starting on April 23 until at least April 27, each night from 10.00 p.m. to 6.00
a.m. the following morning.
JOSHUA: Tell me, are you reporting what Saleh Latuconsina said, his own words, or
you simply tell us what has happened with "your own words"? If these are your words,
then it is normal that you will be held responsible for that. I was so interested reading
the term "RMS Separatist Movement" you used. I have been looking and waiting for
someone to come up with some legal scientific evidences proving the RMS to be a
rebellious mobs. So far, it seems to me that Indonesia does not have much to say
about its filthy conducts against my people for about 52 years now. Are you good
enough and honest to corroborate your "RMS Separatist Movement" words with legal
scientific evidences? Or, you just feel like kissing Saleh Latuconsina's dirty feet?
Saleh Latuconsina is a traitor who have curse his own ancestors and homelands for
the sake of Jakarta's greed and crimes. If you really want to his side, go on and make
the devil's days brighter.
CCDA:Meanwhile military chief commander Mustopo declared that anybody that will
hoist the RMS-flag, and does not pay heed to an initial warning, will be shot. Two
foreign NGO members were given a sharp warning, because they had been found to
carry out questionable activities, such as drunkenness, showing unnecessary films on
unrest in foreign countries, and behaving like news reporters.
JOSHUA:Have you ever asked this Mustopo, what is the legal base, a very deep one,
of his warning? Have you ever tried to dig down to the very bottom of Indonesia's
government attitude? Or you just don't have enough faith to pronounce your discovery,
but good enough to shine Mustopo's boots to save your back? In this kind of situation,
it is only impostors can pick the advantages. Mustopo is nothing but a shadow puppet
of a coward in green uniform serving the crooked Jakarta's gang called government.
CCDA:Since all of the Muslims and most of the Christians are opposed to RMS, FKM
and any other separatist movements, all of these measures enhance a general feeling
of security among the population of Ambon.
JOSHUA:As I said before, the four walls of a Church can no longer prevent its activists
from telling lies. They shed tears in front of the altar in that building, but then they
cried "Crucify Him" to please authorities and high priests. What a humiliation. Did you
get that word "all of the Muslims and most of the Christians" from your
colleagues-Laskar Jihad, who happened to get a piece of old manuscript of RMS
when they robed your mother's grave? Do you not have enough intelligence to realize
that this malicious government is trying hard to turn the nature of this conflict
upside-down? Why have your heart been so stiff that it failed to tell you that many
would suffer and died because of this kind or report? Are the eyes and ears God had
given you not functioning as they are supposed to that you failed sense the nature of
the Moluccan protesters in the Netherlands? Why do you sell your tongue to the
father of all deceivers?
CCDA:2. SOME RECTIFICATIONS – Opening the www.fkm-europa.nl website,
please be aware that in its reports on what is happening in Ambon these days, it is
little trustworthy and has a tendency of grave exaggerating.
JOSHUA:Look at the mirror and find the brick in your eyes! Remove that brick and
you'll see the truth. One simple truth. Most Christians in Ambon are now in full alert in
preventing the raising of the flag for a totally different reason you mentioned before.
We DO NOT oppose RMS and FKM but we DO NOT want to give a chance to this
crooked government and its armed forces to execute their dirty plan on innocent
people! Why are you so low that you have no capacity of telling this simple truth?
CCDA: On April 19 (Report 264) we erroneously wrote that FKM leader Dr.Alex
Manuputty was released from confinement at the Police Headquarters: he was not,
and has been in detention for interrogation up to now. Police Chief Commander
Sunarko Danu Ardianto declared to the press that in fact he is not being detained by
the police but by the Joint Investigation Team.
JOSHUA: A lie is a lie, but the influence of each is unique. What would be having the
worst affect, he is free but reported as has been detained or is detained but reported
has been released? On the other hand, is this ‘lie' essential to the huge conspiracy
we're facing today? When you mentioned the www.fkm-europa.nl website, does your
heart not reminds you that the Chairman of the FKM-Europe is a Moslem by the
name "Umar Santi"? Why did you report that "all Muslims are opposed FKM"? You
called this website "a little untrustworthy" while you appear worst than that – looking
like Laskar Jihad! .
CCDA: The Governor has also called two influential Muslims in order to be
investigated by the same team, namely Mohamad Atamimi and Abdullah Latuapo.
However, up to now they have not turned up and it is not clear why they have not been
gone after like was done in the case of Dr. A.Manuputty.
JOSHUA:I once quoted your question asking "the SPMM that left go on unhampered".
Now you reported that Attamimi and Latuapo did not show up but they have not yet
been ‘picked up' like this Special Investigation Team did to Mr. Waeleruny and Mr.
Manuputty! Did you know that this Team has even called Mr. Waeleruny and Mr.
Manuoutty before they were picked up? Why would you not called the government as
being a little untrustworthy? In fact, this government is so untrustworthy and so
shameful and you are walking on their footprints. You dig FKM's lunch box to find a
bug but you ignored the odour of the hill of garbage government dumped into my land,
Moluccas. If this two Laskar Jihad backed Moslem Provocateur cannot be picked up,
do you think that this government and its armed forces would ever take from Laskar
Jihad and hand back my house, my land, my forest, my beach, my village and my
ancestors' graveyard back to me. My Moslem Pela and Gandong wouldn't dare to do
such thing to me, because I know my brothers have hearts but Laskar Jihad and
government have greed and guilt they're trying to cover through you, too!
CCDA:several newsmedia there was a report on two Kopassus (military Army's
Special Forces) servicemen, who during the investigation on Dr.Alex Manuputty had
irregularly intruded into the Police Headquarters, after which they allegedly had been
searched on weaponry, resulting in the finding of two grenades on them. Police chief
commander Sunarko stressed that indeed the two of them had strayed into Police
HQ, but that it had just been a simple mistake and lack of coordination, that not any
grenades had been found on them and that after a short clarification they had been
allowed to leave.
JOSHUA:Since the evidences are no longer available, we are left with words against
words. What would believe in, the FKM who face a risk of loosing their lives in
standing up for what they believe to be the truth or Sunarko who couldn't even take
action against FKMM and who dare to trade the truth for a plate of rice? If evils take a
stand against evils then their kingdom will fall.
CCDA:3. BISHOP'S GRAVE LOOTED – A befriended Muslim soldier went up to the
jihad site of the totally destroyed neighbourhood of Ahuru to investigate on the
situation at the catholic graveyard. He found the cement grave of Monseigneur
Jacobus Grent MSC, Bishop of Amboina 1947–1965, opened and destroyed by
looters. The bones were gone. C.J.Böhm msc, Crisis Centre Diocese of Amboina
JOSHUA: I have to thank God, not for what happened but for letting this reports
coming out to public. I have many times told this kind of vindictive activities of Laskar
Jihad, including what they did with the Graves of Australian Veterans at Kapaha,
Ambon. This brutal mobs argued that they were trying to remove the cross from the
area they claimed to be their god given land, but what really they're after what the
treasurers that might be found inside these graves. Hopefully, people can now see the
real morality of Laskar Jihad and I did not lie. So much for a defender of Islam who
walk in the path of Allah!
One last question! Has FKM or RSM ever robbed anybody's grave? We should have
been incarcerating the evil at the beginning, but we're to scared to stand on the side of
the truth. When would we? Jesus, please look down on Moluccas!
Greetings,
JL.
