excerpt
sanitized for mass consumption from The
Bravest man I Never Met
Last week, at St Thomas Univ. , these recordings
of Allan Nairn were made by Otis Maclay and Wally James.... I got
to meet the guy who had already impressed me as the bravest
man I never met. This
past summer, the UN oversaw a referendum in E.Timor which overwhelming
voted for self-rule after a world-record 98% voter turnout......
the Timorese thinking perhaps: "They can't kill us all"
This triggered a premeditated rampage by the occupying Indonesian
forces which threatened to do just that.
So
fierce was the murder and destruction, the UN, Red Cross, all diplomatic
persons, and
every reporter from every outlet in every Nation fled the country.
They left only a handful of straggled workers who failed to escape
or chanced to remain behind razor wire at the mercy of armed death
squads and forces who would murder or disappear over 30% of the
population.
Reporting
Live from Death, via Cell-Phone..... Allan Nairn.... hunkered down
in the few remaining structures left in the Capitol. Not because
he's stoopid. This sort of presence is necessary to prevent the
denial of events by the US Mass Media whose owners supply the military
and death squads their arms and instruments of mass murder. Intelligence
and hit lists provided by US agencies. Allan's continuous avoidance
of capture, and daily reports ARE the record of the Indonesian Army
displaying the cost of freedom to the surrounding populations..
|
|
The truth cannot be denied or even left unreported. No debriefings,
coverStories or need to dismiss the WILD claims of those flaky
left-liberal propagandists.
This
sort of reporting often ends in capture, and soon Allan was
reporting from the interrogatioin facility, and then he was
silent. When reporter Amy Goodman confirmed the intentions
of the Indonesians to imprison Allan, the phones in Washington
rang.
And then he was home.
|
I
scanned the NET for Allan's photo, this is the best I could
do, it leaves a bit to the imagination. Always good to see
Amy, though. and my old friend the Shure sm-58 vocal mike.
Journalist Allan Nairn speaking (via cell phone held by Pacifica
radio reporter Amy Goodman) to 500 people attending a demonstration
for East Timor across from United Nations in New York on September
19. Allan was in military custody in West Timor, after having
been arrested in East Timor a few days earlier.

Even
the conclusion of his journey revealed the truth of Nairn's analysis.
He's alive because he's a US citizen.....
Perhaps
the US was not calling shots in this mass slaughter of civilians,
but they could have, and they could have Just
Say No™, the way they Just
Say No™ to Allan's incarceration. The Pentagon,
or Clinton , or who ever was running the dogs that week, could have
made the call early, and saved hundred thousands. Children, nuns,
priests, women machined gunned, hacked up, or buried alive. Maybe
WE should have called early, the way we rang the phones when Allan
was grabbed.. Maybe we should be calling now to prevent the next
E.Timor, El Salvador, Guatemala..... ask Alan....you can catch him
between slaughterhouse and killing field, there because he has to
be.....
someone has to follow our tax dollar down the gun barrels...
out the muzzles
to
see what befalls them.
