Vietnam's top leader taking a 7 hour high speed train through China instead of a 1 hour flight. That's not tourism. That's a statement. He wants to see the infrastructure. He wants to feel the connection. He wants his people to see him on that train. China builds. The US bombs. That's the difference the Global South is noticing. One superpower offers high speed rail and trade routes. The other offers sanctions and carrier groups. Leaders are choosing which model to study. Vietnam is studying China. That tells you everything.

🇨🇳🚄🇻🇳Vietnam's top leader To Lam is taking a high-speed train from Beijing to Guangxi. This is a 2,000+ km journey that takes over 7 hours. Chinese high-speed train is not only a must-try for foreign tourists, but also for top leaders.

@SirBylHolte She's just itching to cast a female Jamie Bond but Bezos is probably vetoing her every options. They'll probably come to a compromise and cast a black Jimmy Bond.

Byl Holte@SirBylHolte·
Amazon MGM Studios’ FEMALE head of film Courtenay Valenti: “Please know that we’re taking the time to (cast James Bond) with care and deep respect.” I'm so sure. Didn’t HBO say the exact same thing about their Harry Potter series? And then they made Snape black. Remember, this is the same studio that literally cucked, neutered, and killed James Bond in their last movie. Is that the "deep respect" she's talking about? Here are the facts: It’s being directed by male feminist Denis Villeneuve who’s known for making films that feature STRONG FEMALE PROTAGONISTS and that explore FEMINIST THEMES. It’s being produced by Amy Pascal who, to her credit, made "racially insensitive" jokes about Obama, but whose company’s first production was FEMALE GHOSTBUSTERS. And it’s being written by Steven Knight who, while he may have done "Peaky Blinders," is currently writing “A Thousand Blows,” a series about a real-life, ALL-FEMALE CRIME SYNDICATE whose GIRLBOSS exploits a Jamaican man’s fighting skills for her criminal empire. So no, I’m not the least bit optimistic about the next iteration of 007. Because we see who they are now, so why would this time be any different?

@elisa_jkt Ini kebijakan bagus kalo niatnya emang utk menggetok warga. Kota jual tanah ke developer utk bangunan mewah, setelah terjual semua "Ok mulai sekarang ada pajak barang mewah." "Lah duit jual tanah kemana?" "Oh itu kan masa lalu, sekarang peraturannya baru utk bantu orang kismin."

What a clever way to utilize tax. Gak bikin marah orang (kaya) lokal, tapi tetap punya basis utk memajaki (gak perlu representasi, krn yg dipajak adalah properti yg ada di wilayahnya). Orang super kayanya kalau keberatan juga akan segera jual, tapi blm tentu terbeli cepat. jadi for the time being, tetap harus bayar pajak 😅

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani just made history. New York’s first-ever pied-à-terre tax — an annual fee on luxury properties worth $5M+ owned by people who don’t even live here. Ken Griffin bought a $238M penthouse in NYC. He doesn’t live here. It sits empty. While working New Yorkers can’t afford rent. That changes today. $500M annually — straight to childcare, clean streets, and safer neighborhoods. This is what governing for people looks like.

@allenanalysis So NYC probably sold the plot of land to a developer who built exclusive properties for rich buyers because NYC didn't have the money to develop it by itself. And now that it's fully loaded, it's time for NYC to get a piece of the action.

Nasionalisasi Perusahaan Asing di zaman Soekarno adalah lore sejarah yang paling tersembunyi di sejarah Indonesia. 1965-1967, 1998 banyak yang bahas. 1957-1965? Sedikit yang bahas. Padahal, ini kunci mengapa orang-orang Old Money punya rumah mewah besar di Pondok Indah. Ketika genosida 1965-67, terjadi pencurian tanah besar-besaran, betul. Tetapi bandingkan dengan jumlah tanah yang dicuri selama 1957-1965. Open season cuy. Tanah perkebunan yang bisa lu curi pada masa Nasionalisasi Perusahaan Asing bukan 1 tumbak, tapi 100.000 hektar. Sistem yang dibentuk selama periode Nasionalisasi Perusahaan Asing ini kemudian matang dan berhasil menjadi mesin perampok tanah yang sangat efektif pada periode 1965 dan seterusnya.

Dwifungsi ABRI dibentuk pada zaman Soekarno tahun 1957, bukan zaman Soeharto. Apa itu Dwifungsi ABRI? Jabatan? UU? Kenyataannya lebih sederhana: uang. "Nasionalisasi 1957" itu maksudnya semua perkebunan cash crop milik perusahaan Belanda disita oleh AD, di semua daerah. Orang AD langsung menduduki jabatan sipil yaitu jabatan di perusahaan perkebunan. Pada saat yang bersamaan, orang AD tetap menduduki jabatan militer. *Inilah* Dwifungsi ABRI. Nasionalisasi perusahaan asing ini bisa terjadi setelah darurat militer (SOB) dideklarasikan di masa PRRI/Permesta pada masa rezim Orde Lama. Darurat Militer memberikan kekuasaan pada pangdam tiap daerah untuk basically melakukan "apapun". Misalnya, menyita aset perkebunan Belanda yang nilainya fantastis dan mengelolanya seolah milik pribadi. Boleh dong. Kan lagi darurat militer. Bebas. Kalau tidak setuju ditembak. Kekuasaan nekolim perusahaan-perusahaan asing Belanda diganti dengan kekuasaan ireng. Londo putih ditukar dengan londo ireng. Ternyata, kelakuan rezim londo ireng malah lebih red flag. Setelah pertukaran pemain, kualitas manajemen tata kelola perkebunan yang disita ternyata (1) sangat asal-asalan dan (2) sangat rampok. Perkebunan dikelola dengan sangat asal-asalan karena ternyata, gerombolan baru yang sombong dan sok tahu ternyata sama sekali tidak terdidik dalam hal manajemen ataupun teknik kehutanan. Mereka hanya terdidik dalam membunuh orang. Akhirnya ngasal saja. "Sangat asal-asalan" dan "sangat rampok" ini adalah salah satu penyebab langsung robohnya output ekonomi komoditas ekspor Indonesia selama 1958-1967, hiperinflasi, kelaparan massal. Merekalah salah satu dalang terbesar kemiskinan ekstrem di dekade itu. Karena mereka bingung dan ngasal dalam mengelola ekonomi kita. Dan rampok. Orang yang kritis terhadap perampokan nasional sekaligus bencana buatan nasional ini, seperti Buya Hamka, ditangkap dan disiksa. Rule of thumb politik adalah, "di mana uangnya?" Ketika Buya Hamka dipenjara dan disiksa, tanya: "di mana uangnya?" Ternyata uangnya di perkebunan Sumatra. --- Salah satu anak setan yang dibentuk rahim basah berdarah Dwifungsi ABRI yang ngasal dan rampok ini adalah Pangdam IV/Diponegoro, Kolonel Soeharto. Saat itu Soeharto berkuasa terhadap perkebunan cash crop Jawa Tengah bersama gerombolan banditnya seperti Sudono Salim dan Bob Hasan. Di Jawa Tengah, gerombolan bandit liar yang diketuai Soeharto ini mencuri kayu bulat, beras, hasil gula, bahkan truk-truk tentara milik negara yang disalahgunakan untuk mengangkut komoditas-komoditas curian itu. Sungguh serakah, truknya ikut dicuri. Sebanyak 200 buah truk milik AD diam-diam dijual Soeharto ke seorang makelar bernama Tek Kiong. Barangkali Soeharto bukan bandit paling cerdas, karena buktinya ia berhasil tertangkap basah oleh PARAN, lembaga antikorupsi yang dibentuk KASAD A.H. Nasution yang panik melihat gilanya open season korupsi pasca nasionalisasi. Bandit yang lebih cerdas barangkali adalah bandit di perkebunan Sumatra dan Sulawesi, yaitu di daerah perang aktif PRRI/Permesta yang kebun-kebunnya merupakan war goal Pusat. Siapakah nama-nama bandit di sana? Tidak jelas. Itu dia. Cerdas. Soeharto juga barangkali bukan bandit terbesar di zaman Orde Lama. Bandit paling besar dan paling rampok sepertinya adalah Ibnu Sutowo, yang diberikan kendali atas Permina pada tahun 1957 (yang lalu berganti nama jadi Pertamina). Harus diingat bahwa alasan *utama* Jepang menjajah Indonesia tahun 1942 adalah karena mencari sumber daya migas pasca embargo Amerika. Setelah kita merdeka, seluruh bisnis migas raksasa ini malah jatuh dalam kekuasaan Dwifungsi ABRI di bawah keserakahan Ibnu Sutowo yang sekaligus merangkap sebagai penjahat gangster Mafia Tanjung Priok. Gatot Taroenamihardja, jaksa yang mau mengusut Ibnu Sutowo, tiba-tiba dilindas truk di jalan sampai kakinya harus diamputasi. Setelah PRRI/Permesta ditumpas, gelombang-gelombang nasionalisasi lainnya dilancarkan pada perusahaan asing milik selain Belanda yang sebelumnya tak tersentuh. Perampokan dan miskelola semakin parah selama masa Konfrontasi 1963-1965 pasca penyitaan perusahaan-perusahaan Amerika dan Inggris dan pengusiran para manajer and engineernya. Aset-aset produksi komoditas yang disita itu ikut dirampok habis dan dikelola asal-asalan. Keruntuhan ekonomi Indonesia pun semakin ekstrem, apalagi ketika dicombo dengan (1) kematian Djuanda yang meninggalkan kekosongan IQ pemerintahan dan (2) bencana politik luar negeri Soekarno yang mengakibatkan isolasi internasional. Setelah Soeharto jadi presiden, model sistem perampokan kolonial yang ia bangun di Jawa Tengah kemudian malah diterapkan secara formal dan teratur di seluruh wilayah Indonesia dari Sabang sampai Merauke. Inilah Dwifungsi ABRI. Kontrol Dwifungsi ABRI terhadap Indonesia diamankan dengan kekerasan bersenjata sampai level desa lewat sistem Kodam-Kodim-Korem-Koramil yang ada. Jawa dirampok *dan* luar Jawa dirampok. Uang yang dihasilkan diambil. Inilah Dwifungsi ABRI. Inilah Orde Baru. --- Dwifungsi ABRI adalah rangkap jabatan fungsi militer dengan jabatan fungsi pengamanan produksi uang. Bisnis milik keluarga Soeharto dan struktur mafia nasionalnya diamankan dengan kekuatan senjata Dwifungsi ABRI. Di Kalimantan, Bob Hasan sampai mendapatkan julukan sebagai "Raja Hutan". Uang yang dihasilkan bos mafia hutan nasional ini tentu fantastis. Kelakuan Bob Hasan si Bandit Hutan ini terus berlangsung sampai ia malah ditunjuk jadi Menteri Perindustrian dan Perdagangan pada Maret 1998, yaitu di tengah kepanikan krismon. Dari posisi ini, Bob Hasan berkuasa terhadap seluruh industri dan seluruh perdagangan dan seluruh ekspor impor yang ada di Indonesia, setidaknya selama 2 bulan. Meanwhile, *40%* tanah di seluruh Timor Timur malah dirampok langsung secara pribadi oleh keluarga Cendana yang saat itu telah menjadi the Lord of Crime di Indonesia. Tanah milik penduduk Timor Timur dicuri keluarga Cendana dan penduduknya ditembak. Sepertiga populasi Timor Timur mati dibantai. Orang yang membantai Timor Timur sangat menyeramkan. Misal, dulu santer seorang komandan gila psikopat melakukan pembantaian bersenjata di daerah Kraras di Timor Timur. Seluruh populasi Kraras termasuk anak kecil dan bayi habis dibantai. Menurut atasannya yang resah, A.M. Hendropriyono, tes psikologi komandan itu menunjukkan "G4 alias gila". Anehnya, si gila pembunuh berantai itu malah dibiarkan asyik melanjutkan perburuan manusia untuk dibantai di Timor Timur. Di Aceh lebih seram lagi karena gerombolan bandit yang menduduki Aceh selama DOM bukan hanya mencuri kayu bulat atau menyiksa penduduk atau berburu manusia atau mencuri cadangan migas Aceh, melainkan juga menanam narkoba seperti kartel Pablo Escobar di Kolombia. Tujuannya adalah uang. Aceh luluh lantak, tetapi seluruh Sumatra dan Indonesia juga ikut rusak karena narkoba. Uang dari perkebunan Sumatra dan Sulawesi, uang dari perkebunan Jawa Tengah, uang dari Kalimantan, uang dari Timor Timur, uang dari migas dan kayu bulat dan narkoba Aceh, uang dari seluruh Indonesia, semua uangnya diamankan di bawah kekerasan bersenjata Dwifungsi ABRI. Inilah Dwifungsi ABRI. --- Hari ini, banyak sekali orang yang entah bagaimana punya lahan sawit, tebu, karet, dll sebanyak ribuan bahkan ratusan ribu hektar bahkan jutaan hektar. Dapatnya kapan coba? Kapan belinya? Uangnya dari mana? Kok bisa sih, tiba-tiba ratusan ribu hektar di Aceh atau Kalimantan jadi punyanya si ini dan si itu? Memangnya itu tanah dulunya punya bapak lo?

Arnaud Bertrand@RnaudBertrand·
I rarely have reasons to be proud of France these days, but this is definitely one. France's parliament just voted - unanimously, 170 votes to 0 - a law that institutionalizes the restitution of cultural artifacts looted during the colonial era (the law covers a massive 157-year period). It's going absolutely viral in Chinese social media because of this speech 👇 by MP @JPatrierLeitus who noted in Parliament that it included items stolen to China during the joint British-French sack of the Summer Palace in 1860. Patrier-Leitus cites Victor Hugo's famous 1861 letter to Captain Butler, the British officer who wrote to him seeking his endorsement of the expedition - and got the exact opposite. Hugo wrote (whole letter here: yuanmingyuan.eu/en/the-looting…): "One day two bandits entered the Summer Palace. One plundered, the other burned. Victory can be a thieving woman, or so it seems. The devastation of the Summer Palace was accomplished by the two victors acting jointly. Mixed up in all this is the name of Elgin, which inevitably calls to mind the Parthenon. What was done to the Parthenon was done to the Summer Palace, more thoroughly and better, so that nothing of it should be left. All the treasures of all our cathedrals put together could not equal this formidable and splendid museum of the Orient. It contained not only masterpieces of art, but masses of jewelry. What a great exploit, what a windfall! One of the two victors filled his pockets; when the other saw this he filled his coffers. And back they came to Europe, arm in arm, laughing away. Such is the story of the two bandits. We Europeans are the civilized ones, and for us the Chinese are the barbarians. This is what civilization has done to barbarism. Before history, one of the two bandits will be called France; the other will be called England. But I protest, and I thank you for giving me the opportunity! the crimes of those who lead are not the fault of those who are led; Governments are sometimes bandits, peoples never. The French empire has pocketed half of this victory, and today with a kind of proprietorial naivety it displays the splendid bric-a-brac of the Summer Palace. I hope that a day will come when France, delivered and cleansed, will return this booty to despoiled China. Meanwhile, there is a theft and two thieves. I take note. This, Sir, is how much approval I give to the China expedition." Hugo's letter is so revered in China that a bronze bust of him stands today at the Summer Palace ruins - I believe the only instance of a Westerner honored in China at the site of his own country's crime. A powerful testament of how much a single act of intellectual honesty can redeem, if not a nation, then at least a name. Hugo was also prescient: as Patrier-Leitus notes, that day "when France, delivered and cleansed, will return this booty to despoiled China" has indeed come (even though the "delivered and cleansed" part is, overall, pretty questionable in the current context). This new law doesn't only concern China and the Summer Palace: it concerns ALL stolen artifacts by France during the period ranging between November 1815 and April 1972 - corresponding to the start of the second French colonial empire to the entry into force of the UNESCO convention on cultural property. It's a massive scope: 157 years, thousands of objects and dozens of nations with potential claims. It's France reckoning with its colonial past in an unprecedented way and the fact ALL of France's MPs voted in favor of the law, without a single exception, is also pretty remarkable. Hopefully this will also serve as a signal to other countries, especially the UK - the other "bandit" in Hugo's letter. There is this Chinese saying from the Zuo Zhuan (左传), one of the foundational Confucian classics: "To err and be able to correct it - there is no greater virtue." ("过而能改,善莫大焉", "guò ér néng gǎi, shàn mò dà yān"). France, with this law, proved its virtue.
Jérémie Patrier-Leitus@JPatrierLeitus

« Un jour viendra où la France, délivrée et nettoyée, renverra ce butin à la Chine pillée. » Ce jour, qu’appelait Victor Hugo de ses vœux en 1861, est venu. 🇫🇷Cette loi vient inscrire dans notre droit un cadre clair, cohérent et précis pour la restitution des biens culturels.

I have been pretty emphatic the last few days in condemning Pope Leo’s foray into American politics. My detractors are having fun stating that I am doing this out of allegiance to President Trump and that I have chosen Trump over God. WRONG. The biggest reason by far why I am so vocal on this is the damage Pope Leo is doing to the Catholic Church in the USA. I believe Pope Leo has done more to harm US Catholicism in just a few days than any other Pope of the past 100 years (even Francis). Pope Leo is literally causing orthodox, faithful American Catholics to flee the Church out of disgust over his leftwing politicization and his kowtowing to Islam. Moreover, he has opened the door for boundless criticism against Catholicism from certain Protestant denominations and churches, causing untold harm to Christian ecumenism in the USA. It is precisely because I care so much about the Church that Jesus founded in AD 33 that I oppose the havoc Pope Leo has unleashed in the US Church. (And yes, under Church doctrine and as a Catholic, I am fully entitled to hold such beliefs and express them.)

JD Vance sharply responds to Pope Leo XIV: “When the Pope says God is never on the side of those who wield the sword, there is more than a thousand-year tradition of Just War Theory in Christianity.” “Just as I have to be careful when speaking about public policy as Vice President, the Pope should be very careful when speaking about theology.” “If you’re going to opine on matters of theology, it must be anchored in truth. That’s what I strive for, and it’s exactly what we should expect from the clergy, Catholic or Protestant.”

Hear me out. Trump called out Germany, South Korea, and Japan, for not willing to help with the Strait of Hormuz. What do these nations have in common? They are where we have the largest standing military presence outside the US. I think Trump is not just setting up a withdrawal from NATO, I think he is setting up a withdrawal of our military presence around the globe, and will eventually begin the process of consolidating US MIL presence to the Western Hemisphere, once we are done with Iran and the war in Ukraine is over. I think the end goal is normalized relations with Russia and China, and thus the permanent end to the Cold War that never really ended. This is only possible by removing US military presence off of China and Russia’s doorstep, as well as ending Russian/Chinese meddling in our hemisphere, via places like Venezuela and Cuba, which is already happening. What if the US, Russia, and China, just agreed to stop the espionage, weapons of mass destruction, proxy wars, and meddling in each other’s regions? What if the superpowers were on the same side instead of against each other? It’s possible, and things seem to be inching in that direction. Russia and China are losing their influence in the Western Hemisphere, and Trump is posturing like he is going to remove our presence in the Eastern Hemisphere. I think we are witnessing a restructure of the global order, and the global “alliances” as we know them are about to shift dramatically.

Asymmetric Warfare and Iran’s Restored Capability Satellite images show that Iran has already cleared the bunkers, silos, and launch pads at these sites in just over 48 hours after the ceasefire. I believe this means they have quickly regained the ability to launch hundreds of missiles per day, at a moment when the coalition’s stock of interceptors is running low. And this is a major problem for the coalition, because in the first 48 hours fo war alone, they launched more than 700 missiles and nearly 1,000 drones. I know Netanyahu and Trump really wanted to win this war, but have they truly understood the kind of war they are fighting? This conflict teaches us a great deal about modern and asymmetric warfare. In conventional war, if a force loses control of the skies, it usually means the destruction of its equipment and military structures, stripping the army of its ability to react. Everything becomes vulnerable, from barracks to small checkpoints. But asymmetric warfare is different. You prepare for a conflict in which you will be heavily bombed and must respond with resilience and gradual deployment, turning the war into a long, exhausting, and attritional struggle. The key point is that the entire structure must be protected in underground bunkers or very well hidden to survive successive waves of bombings. In Iran’s case, a mountainous country, many of these fortifications are built inside mountains, taking advantage of the natural terrain, just as the Vietnamese used the jungle to hide their equipment. These constructions require significant investment and long-term planning, often spanning decades. It is estimated that the Iranian project has cost between $15-20 billion, with dozens of underground bases for storage, maintenance, and assembly of military equipment. In addition to the missile force, the navy and air force also have these underground bases. Continue reading: open.substack.com/pub/global21/p…

Narasi sejarah kemerdekaan Indonesia itu tidak jelas. Katanya, kita melawan karena dijajah. Tapi, memangnya jelek ya kalau kita dijajah? Jelek. Alasannya adalah kelaparan. Trauma bangsa kita adalah lapar. Belanda menerapkan sistem ekonomi kolonial eksploitatif yang memprioritaskan cash crop. Hindia Belanda memproduksi sangat banyak cash crop: gula, karet, kopra, kayu bulat, kopi, tembakau. Padi bukan cash crop, sehingga tidak usah ditanam. Terus rakyat makan apa? Bukan urusan Belanda. Di bawah penjajahan Belanda, orang Indonesia pun mati kelaparan secara massal dan reguler. Ekonomi Hindia Belanda sama sekali tidak didesain untuk menghidupi penduduknya. Kalau pada suatu hari 90% populasi kabupaten Grobogan mati kelaparan, ups, lol. Belanda tidak peduli, karena kita dianggap ras hutan rendahan bodoh. Kalau mati ya mati aja. Yang penting uang, uang, uang. Kita sama sekali tidak punya kesempatan untuk mengubah ini, karena semua kebijakan politik dipegang rezim kolonial Belanda. Kita hanya bisa pasrah dan mati. Ketika Belanda diganti oleh Jepang, ini menjadi sangat ekstrem. Jutaan mati kelaparan dalam waktu yang sangat singkat. Semua tokoh politik nasional menyaksikan atau malah mengalami langsung kelaparan. Kelaparan di mana-mana. Hanya ada satu solusi untuk benar-benar mengentaskan kelaparan yang memalukan dan mematikan dari Indonesia. Kita harus merdeka. Kita harus menyelesaikan masalah ini sendiri. Apabila Belanda mencoba menghalangi, Belanda harus kita tembak dan usir. Rakyat saat itu tidak butuh teori skizo tidak napak tanah. Yang diinginkan rakyat sangat sederhana, bisa makan. Itu bare minimumnya. Itulah yang diimpikan selama ratusan tahun kita dijajah. Tujuan kemerdekaan ini baru mulai serius dikejar pada 1967 oleh Menteri Ekonomi Hamengkubuwono IX dan tim Berkeley nya. Uang asing mengalir deras masuk ke Indonesia dalam bentuk investasi, pinjaman, dan foreign aid. Setelah uangnya berhasil dipegang oleh HB IX dan timnya, uangnya dipakai untuk mencetak sawah, membangun irigasi, membangun jalan dan sistem logistik distribusi. Hiperinflasi harga pangan berhasil dikendalikan, bukan dengan trik keuangan aneh, melainkan dengan memproduksi beras dalam jumlah besar. Mafia Berkeley yang konon neoliberal nyatanya malah menerapkan ekonomi komando sosialistik yang dipusatkan di Bappenas. Sesungguhnya kebijakan neoliberal ekstrem mereka masih nanti, yaitu pada akhir 1980an. Kunci kesuksesannya adalah ledakan ilmu pengetahuan teknologi pangan dunia bernama Revolusi Hijau. Produksi pangan tumbuh berlipat-lipat. Setelah ratusan tahun, kelaparan Indonesia akhirnya berhasil dientaskan dengan kombinasi kebijakan STEM dan Soshum teknokratis yang kompeten.
