It's sheer bloody murder, right on our doorstep

What the Indonesian military is doing is criminal and barbaric, writes Charlie Hill-Smith.

THE highest mountains between the Himalayas and the Andes are the snow-topped crags of West Papua (4884 metres). A tropical glacier pokes out of the sweltering green of Asia's largest rain forests. This is the second largest island on earth, with 15 per cent of all the world's languages, an encyclopaedic biodiversity and a new El Dorado for our resource-hungry world.

Most of us know little about the shady goings-on inside the giant forested island just to our north. But a constant trickle of murders, disappearances, arrests, torture and a wave of mass civil actions have raised the international volume of this previously silent war.

Werewolf Edition 20 Now Available! – The Politics of Welfare Reform

Werewolf Edition 20 Now Available! – The Politics of Welfare Reform From Werewolf Editor Gordon Campbell

From Werewolf Editor Gordon Campbell

Hi and welcome to the first full issue of Werewolf for 2011. Every few years, governments like to create a moral panic about how welfare is corroding the moral fibre of the poor and – as this month’s cover story indicates – the real targets of this process are resentful low and middle income workers. Sure, a minority of beneficiaries do abuse the system – just as a minority cheat on their taxes or don’t pay their parking fines. Yet the vast majority of beneficiaries make ends meet with honesty as best they can, on very little. The bulk of them would much prefer to be working in jobs – but the government seems unable to manage the economy in a way that will provide them.

Last month, long time Werewolf contributor James Robinson took himself and his camera to Washington DC. James ran into CNN’s Wolf Blitzer going the other way, and took in the rest of the sights (big and small) of what Spike Lee and George Clinton used to call Chocolate City. With The Hobbit fiasco behind us, Werewolf turns to consider Treasury’s ingrained opposition to the subsidies that makes such productions possible, and examines how many US states are now re-evaluating the worth of schemes. Opinion remains divided. Tax credits and film production grants are either a terrible waste of money or absolutely essential to saving film industry jobs. Talking about polarisation, people seem to be widely and weirdly divided in their cultural responses as well. Things are either omigod/totally awesome/you must see it ! or ‘meh ” – a word of such steely indifference that Werewolf has written a totally awesome article about it, which was probably the most ‘meh’ idea of all time. Too late now.
