Episode 56: Battleground Indonesia - Part 4: "Foreign Policy Can Kill Us" (Audio Version)
Added 2022-07-06 13:00:10 +0000 UTCThis is Part 4 of our Battleground Indonesia collaboration with TheKultureDotTV. Aaron and Hailey Rounsaville are again joined by our own Seamus McGuinness to cover the JFK era of US-Indonesia relations. The discussion picks up from the last episode where JFK’s plans for a sovereign West Papua under UN auspices were derailed by the assassination of UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold. We cover the tale of how Allen Dulles and his allies managed to subvert Sukarno and JFK by sparking Konfrontasi and preventing JFK’s plans to provide aid to stabilize Sukarno’s government. In desperation, JFK planned to visit Indonesia himself in 1964 to solve the problem of Konfrontasi once and for all. Thanks to the dark forces behind events in Dallas, such would not come to pass…
This is the audio version. A video version will be released in the near future and posted here.
Special thanks to Casey Moore for the episode art and Dana Chavarria for the sound engineering!
