| #12 The penalty for rape should be death, immediate and sudden, yos there should be a trial, to establish guilt, then an immediate hanging. There should also be a penalty of death for a false report of rape, you lie, you die. |

| #11 Indonesia needs lebensraum - as practiced/attempted by Germany from c. 1900 until they were stopped, and West Papua won't satisfy for long. The world condemns a more benign version by Israel but ignores this - mustn't offend Muslims or oil exporters. Tangkuban Perahu could be the next Tambora - that might change things. |

| #7 You've had 130 views since you posted yesterday at suppertime, dear Anon1, so Rantburgers are reading, if not yet commenting. My apologies, but somehow I managed to lose your clever headline -- what was it? |

| #6 Bless your good heart TW. I think Australia is scared as we have 21 million and Indonesia has 200 million plus they have better war planes than us and some serious amphibious hardware |

| #4 Welcome back, Anon1! We've missed you. Horrible what is still happening over there. But yes, as the Snowy Thing points out, that same evil story is being told elsewhere. The key question, it seems to me, is: Why has Australia chosen to be complicit over X number of changes of government? At the link the claim is that Australia is afraid, but why should that be so? If you don't see and answer before the rollover, I'll move the story to tomorrow, to give you and our readers a chance to respond. Thanking you in advance I remain, yours, etc. TW |

| #1 When you read this one, click on the link in it that says "read more on the Biak massacre". It is an eye opener and no mistake what has been going on in secret |
