Nederland stal miljarden van Indonesië Indonesië betaalde de wederopbouw van Nederland.
UTRECHT, Zaterdag 2 februari 2019 - Afgelopen donderdag vond er een ronde tafel discussie plaats tussen het onderzoeksteam van NIOD, KITLV en NIMH, de instituten die onderzoek doen naar het geweld in Nederlands Indië/Indonesië in de periode ‘45-’50, en ondertekenaars van een open brief waarin felle kritiek geuit werd jegens dat onderzoek. O.a. vertegenwoordigd was Actiegroep De Grauwe Eeuw, die de open brief ook getekend had en die enkele eisen aan het onderzoeksteam stelde omdat de groep het onderzoek anders niet legitiem vindt. Dit baseerde De Grauwe Eeuw o.a. op informatie waarop leden van de groep gestuit waren. “Wij doen al enige tijd zelf onderzoek naar deze periode en kwamen er zo achter dat de financiële belangen een wel heel belangrijke factor speelde in het geweld wat Nederland in hen oude kolonie gebruikte.” aldus Michael van Zeijl, woordvoerder van de actiegroep. “Zo’n grote factor, dat het meegenomen moet worden in dit onderzoek.” vervolgt van Zeijl.
“Tevens hebben wij een decennia oud raadsel opgelost, wij zijn namelijk in het bezit gekomen van het onomstotelijk bewijs dat Indonesië minstens fl 3,88 miljard heeft betaald van de afpers som van fl 4,5 miljard die Nederland eiste in het RTC verdrag in ruil voor hun vrijheid, een bedrag omgerekend evenveel als de volledige Marshallhulp aan Nederland.”, gaat van Zeijl verder “Nederland heeft altijd onduidelijkheid gezaaid over of en hoeveel Indonesië heeft betaald, dat was aan de overlegtafel ook te merken toen de onderzoekers gevraagd werd of Indonesië ooit betaald heeft aan Nederland. Het letterlijke antwoord was; ‘Daar zijn tegenstrijdige meningen over.’, en wij weten nu wat de feiten zijn.”, grijnst de activist. De Grauwe Eeuw heeft meerdere documenten in bezit met de bevestiging dat Indonesië betaalde en waar o.a. Uit blijkt dat Nederland doelbewust miljarden heeft gefraudeerd ten nadele van Indonesië. “Nederland heeft tijdens de RTC een sprookjesbedrag van fl 6,5 miljard gevraagd maar uit deze documenten blijkt dat een groot deel van dat bedrag ongefundeerd is. Dit deel was door een Nederlandse topambtenaar genaamd Hirschfeld uit de duim gezogen omdat Nederland ervan uitging dat niet alle RTC claims door de onderhandelingen zouden komen en die op deze manier wel opgevangen werden.” betoogt van Zeijl. “Laat dit eens goed op je inwerken. Dit is gewoon dezelfde smerige Nederlandse kolonisten mentaliteit die we al 5 eeuwen zien. Nederland minacht de mensen die ze afknepen nog steeds trouwens. Kijk naar de dodenherdenking waar ze nog steeds de slachtoffers onder de oorspronkelijke bewoners van de Archipel, die Nederland maakte, niet herdenken maar hun moordenaars wel. Terwijl Indonesië nota bene voor de wederopbouw van dit land heeft betaald.”, concludeert van Zeijl "Wij hebben, voor onze eigen veiligheid, verschillende relevante partijen en internationale hoogwaardigheidsbekleders op de hoogte gesteld van de documenten en stellen ze voor hun beschikbaar. Het onderzoeksteam hebben we de informatie gegeven zodat zij deze kunnen meenemen in hun onderzoek. Omdat we Nederland niet vertrouwen publiceren we de documenten pas wanneer een onafhankelijke partij ze heeft gezien en het bestaan ervan authenticeert. De inhoud van het meest belastende document is het volgende:"

Friday Februari 1st, 2019 Pressrelease: The Netherlands stole Indonesian billions Indonesia payed for post WWII reconstruction of The Netherlands P R E S S R E L E A S E - The Netherlands stole Indonesian billions Indonesia payed for Post WWII reconstruction of The Netherlands Utrecht, Saturday February 2nd 2019 - Last Thursday a round-table discussion took place between a research group of NIOD, KITLV and NIMH, the institutions researching the violence perpetrated in the Dutch Indies/Indonesia in the period 1945 to 1950, and signatories of an open letter sharply criticizing the investigation. Represented among others was Activist Collective ‘De Grauwe Eeuw’, whom having signed the open letter, had set some requirements for the research group to be met, in order to be able to legitimize the investigation at all. ‘The Grauwe Eeuw’ had based these demands among others on information by their members. Spokesperson for the collective, Michael van Zeijl, states: “We’ve been conducting our own research and found the financial interests were a significant factor in the violence the Dutch met out in their former colony. Such a significant factor it should be considered in this investigation”. “What’s more is we have solved a decades old riddle. We’ve gained possession of irrefutable evidence of Indonesia having payed at least fl. 3,88 billion out of the initially in the Round Table Conference (RTC) treaty demanded fl. 4,5 billion. An extortion sum to be payed in exchange for granting Indonesia their freedom. A sum, which when converted equals the full amount of Marshall-help granted the Netherlands at the time”, van Zeijl continues. “Doubts as to weather or not, and if yes what amounts Indonesia has payed have always been sown by the Netherlands. Which was particularly noticeable when researchers were asked weather or not the Netherlands were ever payed by Indonesia. The literal answer was: ‘there’s conflicting opinions on that matter’, but we now know the stone cold facts”, the activist states with a grin. ‘De Grauwe Eeuw’ has multiple documents in its possession that not only confirm the fact Indonesia but also make it clear the Netherlands purposefully defrauded Indonesia out of billions of guilders. “During the RTC a fictive claim of a sum total of fl. 6,5 billion was made, yet these documents show a large part of the requested amount to be unfounded. These sums were made up by a top official by the name of Hirschfeld since he anticipated not all claims would make it and these fictive additions would diminish such losses” Van Zeijl argues. “Please let that sink in. This is the selfsame vile Dutch colonizer-mentality that we’ve seen for the last five centuries. The Dutch in the meantime still despise the peoples they pinched off. Just take into account the commemoration of the dead, where perpetrators are honored, yet their victims amongst the original inhabitants of the Dutch established archipelago are excluded from said commemoration and in so doing erased. While in addition to that having had Indonesia pay for the post WWII reconstruction of the Netherlands” Van Zeijl concludes. “In order to secure our own safety, we have informed several relevant parties and international dignitaries of the existence of these documents and are making them available to them. Also we’ve provided the information to the research group in order for it to be added to the investigation. Since we do not trust the Dutch State we’ll only publish these documents after authentication by an independent party. *** - M E M O R A N D U M - Sender: DBI/EF May 18th 1956 To: DBI no 99 Indonesian debts.- According to a Pia-message dated the 16th of May, the financial-economical department of the State-commission inquiring into results of terminating the RTC-accords, has set out four subsections. One of these subsections shall deal with debt settlement. According to the message this subsection is tasked with formulating a standpoint regarding the Indonesias debts to the Netherlands flowing forth from the RTC-accords, and the matter of Indonesian contributions the former Dutch-Indies government-officials pensions. Given there’s no indications as to what direction this subsection shall be taking, there’s no way of predicting what advice the government shall be offered. Notwithstanding that DBI/EF purposefully would like to formulate a supposition. It seems unlikely the subsection shall recommend accepting all debts to the Netherlands in it’s entirety, while on the other hand an annulment of all debts invoking a one-sided cancellation of Finec doesn’t seem very likely either. It seems likely to DBI/EF that it’s to be adviced by the subsection to honor only parts of the debts adopted at the RTC. The parts expected to be rejected will probably be in relation to the by Sumitro recently mentioned matter of ‘onerous debt forced upon Indonesia’. Likely the subsection will contain calculations showing .-the remitted f. 2 billion won’t cover all costs of the policing-actions against Indonesia. In other words: they will be recommending the onerous part of the at the sovereignty transfer adopted debt will no longer be accepted. - 2 - M E M E R A N D U M -2- What portion of the RTC-debts are to be qualified as onerous according to the Indonesian opinion, remains to be seen. From the Indonesian side at the RTC an adjustment of the debts was made, that according to Indonesian opinion does not qualify for acceptance, given they flowed forth from policing-actions. According to the Indonesian adjustment, the sum total involved would have amounted to f. 3,5 billion. In case the subsection accepts this adjustment as a guideline, consequence would be Indonesia ridding itself of an amount of 1,5 billion. Currently Indonesian debts accepted at the RTC amounts to approximately f. 640 million. Additionally there’s an amount open on the loan provided in 1950, worth approximately f. 240. Thus totaling the RTC-debts plus the 1950 loan at approx f. 880 million. Would the subsections advice be in conformity with the Indonesian RTC-adjustment, result would be Indonesia annulling the entire outstanding RTC-debt plus the remainder of the 1950-loan. On top of that Indonesia would remain entitled an amount worth f. 1,5 billion - f. 880 million = f. 620. How Indonesia would like to recompense is the question. Presumed the subsection will use the 1949 Indonesian debt-adjustments, though conflicting with all principles of law, the Indonesian government might countervail on Dutch private assets. Meaning confiscation up to approx f. 620 million worth. Another method may well be completely annulling the remainder of the Indonesian pension obligations. For so far still honored by the Indonesians, the capitalized value of these obligations constitutes a relevantly smaller amount then f. 620 million. Presumably this amounts to approx f. 150 million. Not providing Indonesia enough recompense - 3 - M E M O R A N D U M - 3 - for it’s potential putative claim. Question is what’s to be undertaken against such a cause of events from the Dutch part. The very disappointing answer to this question must be probably nothing. The to be expected end results ts of direct demarches are clear in advance, whereas it has turned out interesting other nations for Dutch financial interests in Indonesia has hardly yielded any results either. From our side we’re trying to attempt reconstructing how a remitted mount of f. 2 billion was compounded. which is very hard to establish seeing the final determination happened in a very small commission, producing no documents. So far it has turned out that on the Dutch part motivated proof of the costs in connection to the policing actions have been amounted at merely __ opprox f. 700 million. How the remaining f. 1300 million were charged is unknown. It appears mr. Hirschfeld arrived at this amount by adding those debts that to his opinion were expected not to be honored by Indonesia. Given the case at hand Mr. Hirschfeld will be contacted as soon as possible by Mr. Evers, member of the Military sub commission at the time. Though however much we’ll be able to demonstrate the costs of the policing actions or even more is covered by the remitted f. 2 billion, DBI/EF fears this will have little or no effect on Indonesias possible plans. Lastly note that in his famed Pedoman article of April 24th, Mr Sumitro came to the conclusion that Indonesia (after annulment of all debts) has a claim on the Netherlands worth f. 540 million. An amount not far removed from the above mentioned f. 620 million. ~*~
