Mysteries. Transition to the New Order. Described as the great dhalang ("puppet master"), Sukarno drew power from balancing the opposing and increasingly antagonistic forces of the army and Indonesian Communist Party (PKI).
By 1965, the PKI extensively penetrated all levels of government and gained influence at the expense of the army.[1] On September 30, 1965, six of the military's most senior officers were killed in an action (generally labeled an "attempted coup") by the so-called 30 September Movement, a group from within the armed forces. Within a few hours, Major General Suharto mobilized forces under his command and took control of Jakarta. Anti-communists, initially following the army's lead, went on a violent purge of communists throughout the country, killing an estimated half million people and destroying the PKI, which was officially blamed for the crisis.[2][3] Background[edit] Sukarno, President of Indonesia (1945-1967) in undated photo.

History today & more. FAMOUS PEOPLE. Travel - Weird foods only a local could love. It may be a matter of taste, but the food in some countries can be so out there that it might only seem normal to the people who live there.
At least that's the premise behind the Quora question, "What food is popular in your country, but unacceptable in others? "From mite-infested cheese to poisonous mushrooms, these foods are both savoury and squirm-worthy, depending on who you ask. Here are a few of our favourites: France Sure, France is famous for its cheese, but Mimolette is in a league of its own due to its unique (and not for the faint-of-heart) aging process. She then proceeded to post photos of the tiny mites that are given free rein to gnaw on the cheese, leaving little holes throughout the crust. The United States Food and Drug Administration briefly halted the import of the cheese in 2013, due to the possibility of allergic reactions if consumed in large quantities.

The stern faces, each 60ft (18.2m) high, were carved between 1927 and 1941. Their composition has never been anything less than dramatic. Alfred Hitchcock certainly thought so, spreading the monument’s fame through the final scene of North by Northwest (1959) in which murderous spies pursue impeccably dressed Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint across the silent, stony faces of Washington and company. Carving history. Refugee Crisis: Using Chaos to Build Power.
BERLIN — A European Union military force with power to intervene in member states.
A new “Marshall Plan” to radically redesign whole regions of the world and impose regional government. A United Nations empowered to manage it all. Christendom under siege. And the end of nationhood as it is understood today. That is where the “refugee crisis” is heading, as the engineered disaster wreaks havoc across Europe and beyond. While the establishment’s demands on Europe to accept millions of Middle Eastern refugees have been couched in “humanitarian” rhetoric, the real agenda is nothing of the sort. “I will ask the governments to cooperate, to recognize that sovereignty is an illusion — that sovereignty is an absolute illusion that has to be put behind us,” declared former Goldman Sachs chairman Peter Sutherland, an ex-member of the Bilderberg Steering Committee who currently “serves” as the UN special representative of the secretary-general for international migration.
