As usual, this story is being kept out of the US media. The Papua province of Indonesia is 75% Christian and has endured
100,000 Indonesian sponsored killings by Muslims of Papuans suspected of having rebel ties. Now that the Papuans are trying to get their country back after it was invaded by Muslims Nazi Indonesians, it makes the news.
Where was the media when 100,000 Papuans were killed? When the Netherlands tried to grant independence to Papua, Muslim Nazi Indonesia supported by the Soviets, threatened invasion. JFK, worried about a Soviet invasion, had "diplomatic talks" with the Indonesian Muslims to prevent warfare and handed it over to the United Nations. ( Sound familiar?
) The Muslim friendly UN then handed it right over to Indonesia who said they would allow elections on the subject of independence. With threats, killings and intimidation, the population voted 100% for Indonesia rule. Over the last 50 years, Indonesia has been flooding Papua with Muslim Nazis. Not only that but the US FBI helped the Indonesian government find Papuan rebels because two American teachers travelling with an Indonesian were killed by accident.

JAKARTA, Indonesia – Shooting broke out Sunday between Indonesian security forces and suspected rebels in Papua, near to where an Australian employee of the U.S. mining giant Freeport was killed a day earlier, police and company officials said.
Officials said they could not confirm local media reports that Freeport security guards were shot in the incident.
"Suspected separatist rebels ambushed and opened fire on the police's anti-terror unit members who were searching for perpetrators" of Saturday's killing, said Papua police chief Bagus Ekodanto.
"We cannot confirm any casualties. We are waiting for further information," he said.
Freeport spokesman Mindo Pangaribuan confirmed the shooting, but gave no details.
Papua, a desperately poor and militarized province on Indonesia's easternmost tip, is home to separatist rebels who denounce PT Freeport as a symbol of Jakarta's rule.
Two Americans were killed in an ambush in 2002 near Freeport's Grasberg operations, a massive open-pit mine.
The Grasberg mining complex, one of the world's largest single producers of copper and gold, has been a constant source of friction with local Papuans angered over the outflow of profit to foreign investors, while they remain poor.
Security was increased after Saturday's killing and business was not disrupted, Pangaribuan said.
The Indonesian government does not allow foreign media to freely report in Papua, where it has tens of thousands of troops. The site of Saturday's shooting was inaccessible to local reporters.
