Repúblika Banana

You guys can stop the smear campaign now.

Luolo and Fretilin are taking an embarassing beating at the vote count.

It is becoming more and more clear that Mari and his group have eroded Fretilin's good history and reputation among the people.

They have single handedly spoiled this historic party's good name through their bad leadership and 4 years of bad government.

Now its time to step aside and make way for new people to govern the nation and lead the party.

Wake up and smell the coffee! A new democratic era is dawning on Timor.

Please accept the people's will with serenity and do not cause more violence for the maubere people.
 

Very quiet on this Blog these last few days.

I wonder why?

Hiihiihihihiiihii.
 

Helooooo....... this is not a smear campaign. J. Teme was replaced because of this very incident. In fact the so called Fretilin mudansa is made up of people like Teme. After having been recalled to Dili Teme tried to get on Alkatiri's side by ringing around Australian universities to find schollarships for Alkatiri's children!!! Let's see: Victor da Costa was fired because he would turn up at work drunk and then try to hit on the young women at CISPE. Vicente Ximenes used to make deals with Indonesian military and this landed him some business deals. Then he courted a woman whose husband was killed by Indonesian army in bush. Vicente succeeded in selling off all her assets that she inherited from her former husband. Soon Vicente also fell out with his Indonesian military friends and he run away to Australia seeking assylum. So you see, he did not leave Timor because of his "work" in the resistance. When he arrived in Darwin he received some serious beatings from some Timorese people there. He took off and ended up in Queensland where he got a schollarship thanks to Jose Texeira. Vicente also visited Melbourne where he was once again assaulted by a group of East Timorese youths whose family Vicente had reported to the Indonesian military and then disappeared. After 2001 Vicente wanted to be the minister for tourism, but didn't get it. The job went eventually to Jose Texeira. Then you have Cesar Moreira who embezzled a huge sum of money trough some deal to buy cars. And that Egidio De J. Soares. He used to be in the portfolio in charge of ETDL but because of corruption he was removed from this post. (Actually before getting this position, he used to carry Filomeno Paixão's (a senior F-FDTL officer) bag and followed him around.) And we come to Lugu or Jose Luis Guterres. Ramos-Horta constantly makes fun of Lugu in official meetings. At one meeting Horta introduced Lugu as "the man who thinks he is the foreign minister but everyone knows I am the foreign minister." A passage in Horta's "Funu" sums up the type of person Lugu actually is, a lazy and sleepy log. Oh and Jorge Teme and Cesar Moreira were two of a number of people who made approaches to senior F-FDTL commanders to launch a coup and remove the Fretilin government, in their case it was Lt. Cr, Falur Rate Laek. (Others who made similar move included Padre Apolinario, Padre Filomeno Jacob and Fernanda Borges. Fernanda Borges is having an affair with Padre Filomeno Jacob by the way). As far as I am concerned, the Fretilin mudansa is a pariah. People are voting against Fretilin but they are not voting for Ramos-Horta or Lasama. The difference here is that Horta or Lasama will be constantly judged by way of contrasting them to Fretilin's performance. If things go sour, there will be an immediate reaction from the people and Horta or Lasama can kiss their victory good bye. However I am still surprised at how well Lu Olo polled in the elections. I hought it would result in a thrashing for Fretilin after a year full of propaganda against them followed by a coup attempt. Then you have the church actively putting its fingers where they don't belong (other than a young boy's anus) and a hysterical President with incredible accusations. Distribution of weapons to civilians which as it turned out were nothing more than a security preparation followed by a total breakdown of the police force, which only resulted after the interference from the president himself, and on and on. This looked really bad for Fretilin and Fretilin having no media sympathy (STL and Timor Post and RTTL are working against Fretilin) towards it, you would expect a wipeout. But Lu Olo and the Fretilin team ought to be congratulated. They will do better in the legislative polls even with Xanana and his CNRT coming up against it.
 

Hiihihihiiii hahahaha hiihiihii
 

Hello Anonymous 9:43
You, my friend, are a very sorry sorry man.
So much anger.... So much hate...
Maybe this began when your 'anus' was fondled when you were a boy, like you mentioned!? Don't blame the church though my friend. Blame your FRETILIN friends. Careful too as they'll be doing more than fondling your ass soon!!!
 

All I know is that José Ramos-Horta likes to fondle young boys' bums!! I know this for a fact.

WENDY HOLLAND'S OPENING STATEMENT=20
JAKARTA, JULY 27, 1995

Part I=20

The following is the opening statement by Wendy Holland, Ramos Horta's
ex-wife, which was read in front of national as well as international pers
in Hotel Indonesia, Jakarta, on July 27, 1995.=20

QUOTE

For over twenty years Horta has stolen millions of dollars meant for aid
within Timor. He holds numerous bank accounts around the world. He is a
traitor and continues to use the Timorese for his own goals. In 1974 Horta
and I were planning to move to Indonesia - we met in a village called
Ermera in Timor in 1973. In 1974 we were to be married at the home of the
Indonesian Consul.=20

Horta did not expect the coup in Portugal for another 5 years - he had
connection with the Indonesian government and planned to discuss
integration. His contacts were the Indonesian consul, the governor of
Kupang El Tari, Louis Joaquim and others. Here seemed to be little chance
of getting rid of the Portuguese without outside help.=20

Realistically Indonesia was the closest country - after Australia rejected
Horta. Horta has two plans - Independence or Integration with Indonesia.
Horta travelled to Indonesia on a number of occasions, I accompanied him
once. He approached the government for student scholarships for Timorese
to study in Indonesia, for Timorese receive military training and for
Indonesia to install him as government of Timor. The Indonesians agreed to
the scholarships but later changed their minds when Horta discussed
guerilla warfare to start at the border.=20

Horta's price was too high the Indonesian ceased further communication.
Horta was devastated, this final rejection was his undoing. He was anxiety
ridden and threw all his energies into mending relationships with the
Portuguese.=20

Like others before him, the African experience of revolutionary socialism
as preached by Frelino and other guerilla movements had a profound impact
on Horta. If nothing else, it gave him an ideological framework within
which he could develop his own dislike of Portuguese colonialism.=20

Apart form his collaboration with the Portuguese and attempted one with
Indonesia, Horta used me and others to link up with communist groups such
as China, Rusia, Cuba and others. When this failed, he wrote to the
Australian communist party in Melbourne asking for assistance to send him
and colleagues overseas for guerilla training. His request was ignored.
Horta makes for good press coverage, he controls some of the Clandestine
groups in Timor and Indonesia. He arranges demonstrations on demand and he
played a big role in the Dili massacre. He sacrifices his own people for
his own goals.=20

The media failed to mention that Horta lived in a block of flats reserved
for the Portuguese elite. It did not mention that he had a house boy, a
symbol of Portuguese colonialism. His family also had several people to
cook, clean, wash, look after them, and these servants lived in appaling
conditions. They failed to mention that Horta ate most of his meals at the
hotel Turismo. He also terrorized the Chinese by refusing to pay for his
meals at their restaurants. The media did not mention that it was the
taxes and contributions by Fretilin members that afforded him this
lifestyle then and now.=20

In 1974 Horta stabbed a Timorese (member of Apodeti) to death. I helped
bury the body. The reason he gave that this person threatened to expose
Horta's links to Indonesia and the betrayal of the Timorese by Horta. It
is no overstatement to describe Horta as a power broker. He has no respect
for the Timorese only for the power and fame he acquires in their name and
at their expense.=20

It is well known inside Timor by close aides of Xanana that he was
planning to leave Timor. Xanana wanted to join his family in Australia.
Horta sent letters and tapes to Xanana pleading with him to stay. There is
evidence of this. Horta was paranoid that if Xanana came out, it would
mean the end of his lifestyle. Numerous activities and phone calls took
place prior to Xanana capture. Needless to say Horta was not too
distressed to hear of Xanana capture. To this day he is not concerned for
the realease of Xanana and he treats Emilia Guamao, wife of Xanana, with
utmost contempt. Emilia has publicly critisized Horta for his exploitation
of the Timorese and his betrayal of Xanana. Horta claims to have signed
documents from Xanana giving him control of the resistance. This is false.
These documents are forged. Members of Xanana's family have confirmed
this.=20

Money is being sent into Indonesia not East Timor for education. Horta's
goal is to cause destabilization and increase Clandestine groups. Horta
can be all things to all people. He has the arch-pragmatist's ability to
chop and change as occasions demand. He is a chameleon. Horta soaks up
power like a dry sponge. To imagine he would share center stage with
fellow Timorese is like believing in fairy tales. He uses his colleagues
as puppets. He has cultivated his friendship with journalists and
audiences since 1973 doing little of offend them. He is, and has always
been, the most recognized of the Timorese people.=20

Since 1973, when I first met him, he has used his position shamelessly,
initially as a journalist in Timor and with his Portuguese colleagues in
Timor, Portugal and the colonies. It was never Horta's intention to share
his fame and power with anyone, not even Xanana. Eventhough Ramos Horta
has left Fretilin - UDT and Fretilin are held to ransom as it is Horta who
holds the power and the purse strings. Now that Xanana is safely locked
away. The result is that Ramos Horta's name and face turns up more than
anyone else's in the Timorese community.=20

Part II=20

East Timor, prior to 1975, had no independent body of opinion such such as
a resident diplomatic corp or population of foreign correspondents to
which visiting journalists could turn for background briefing or the like.
Nor were there any reliable statistics available for use by journalists.
As a consequence, there checked out. All that visiting journalists could
not was place their trust in the only political source they could get to,
Horta - which left the field wide open to him. Ramos Horta gives
journalists what they want to hear. He usually friendly and accessible and
his efforts are rewarded with good publicity. They, in turn, ignore the
excess privilleges Ranos Horta enjoys.=20

The media continuously fail to mention how Horta could afford a jet
setting lifestyle, designer clothes, numerous bank accounts and luxury
holidays - they accept his lies too easily. There are many people
associated with Horta who know his many faces. Yet they are willing to
conceal the truth because he is colourful and delivers what they want - an
on-going source of information, be it true or false.=20

It almost goes without saying that the control Horta had, and still has to
some extent, over East Timorese and their political parties was because he
was one of Fretilin's full time employees. It is easy to see the extent to
which he was able to wield his power in some way or other, while
attempting to keep things in the way he wished.=20

During the first year after the Portuguese revolution, Ramos Horta
pictured himself as the founding father of Timorese Liberation. One
Australian journalist Bill Nicholl quoted "He (Ramos Horta) believed he
was the spiritual leader of Timorese nationalism and philosopher of
Timorese political aspirations. Ramos Horta believed his "Mauberism" was
the gift of a God to the masses."=20

When asked by the journalist how he felt about being the founding father
of the philosophy of Timorese Liberation, he replied "I was forced to be.
I am quite happy". This same journalist wrote the truth about Ramos Horta
when he returned to Australia in 1975 he was Austracized (?) and treated
like a leper for telling the truth by the media close to Horta.=20

Sukarno gave Ramos Horta the inspiration for a political philosophy which
could be used to inspire the Timorese masses to support Fretilin - Ramos
Horta has a habit of plagiarising others philosophies. Sukarno's was known
as Marhaenism, Ramos Horta's was Mauberism. Ramos Horta denies he had ever
heard of Marhaenism. He has a flair for interpreting and using
philosophies. He is a skilled propagandist, an opportunist, an opportunist
and dangerous. He will do anything to take himself to power - even if it
causes instability in the Asian region.=20

In "The Sydney Morning Herald" in "Spectrum", 10th September 1994, Ramos
Horta denied emphatically that he ever, in any circumstances, approached
the Indonesians in 1976. I can prove he approached them in 1974 and 1975,
whilst I was on a trip overseas he was planning our removal to Indonesia.=
=20

Sources inside Portugal claim the Portuguese were furious when they read
my articles and expose on Ramos Horta, revealing some of his many hidden
bank accounts. After all they were paying a great deal to support Ramos
Horta and his "cronies". They too were totally unaware of his deceipt - he
was hauled over the coals.=20

Some of Ramos Horta's closest friends have now retired quite well off on
monies meant for the Timorese people, in excess of millions of dollars -
Abilio Araujo being one. Apart from the Portuguese support, huge sums of
money have come from aid agencies, donations and unsuspecting supporters -
all of which went into Ramos Horta's personal accounts and those of his
colleagues.=20

One of Ranos Horta's former enemies (an in-law) and a leading member of
UDT, warned me off Ramos Horta many times in the past. Now the person,
another opportunist lacking also in financial probity, has shaken hands
with the devil.=20

During the colonial period, Ramos Horta claims he was deported to
Mozambique. Timorese authorities claim he in fact, avoided conscription.
The Portuguese sent him there where he trained as a journalist and
returned after two years (free of conscription) to become editor of the
government sponsored newspaper "A Voz de Timor" (Voice of Timor) to which
he devoted himself until the revolution. For a so-called 'deportee', this
was indeed an unusual privilege.=20

Ramos Horta will tell anyone who is willing to listen that he is a one man
fighting machine dedicating his life to the liberation of his people. He
will also tell you he is poor and lives with his mother, that he does not
own a car or house. He lives off his family and friends, male and female.
Horta has a crafty intelligence. Until his personal financial records were
made public, he played on the sympathy of his supporters. And continues to
do so. He played on nine to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars.=
=20

This highly complex man has an excuse for everything. He has a ready
answer to explain his seedy past away. He was mixed up in every bit of
major politicking when he lived in Timor and beyond. Since Horta's
constant travel arrangements are usually paid for by some organization or
another, and he receives a part salary, his expenses were reimbursed by
the party. One wonders what he does with the cast wealth he holds. Horta
does not send it into East Timor. Jill Jolliffe (an Australian journalist
based in Portugal) who travelled into East Timor was informed by the
members of resistance that they received no support from the outside, only
from the locals. Her article appeared in The Melbourne Age this year.
Ramos Horta's bank statements indicate that he uses the funds to indulge
himself. He is a traitor and a murderer.=20

Anonymous pro Fretilin...

I am so sad that now Fretilin is using the article that was used by the Indonesian to discredit our struggle in the past. It showed us that Fretilin is using every possible way, including smear campaign to discredit its opposite parties or candidate. It is sad to underline that smear campaign is a 'Trade Mark' of Fretilin.

I agreed that Fretilin won in the first round election, but it wont mean that in the second round will be the same. The statistic showed that in the area with advance education and access to information, Lu-Olo is going nowhere. In capital Dili, majority voted for Horta which means people are dreaming for changes. The current government and leaders of Fretilin are hopeless leaders. In capital of Baucau, Horta also won, only in the rural area where information is hardly accessed, Lu-Olo won, thanks to racism campaign by its activists in rural villages!

I bet that with the hope for changes, people will vote for Horta. Horta will be the next president of Timor Leste!

For my fellow Timorese who are dreaming for changes and for better future, I advise you to vote for capable and competent candidate, Vote for Horta if you wish to see brighter future. Lu-Olo is a good man, veteran, and struggled during the resistance days, but he is not right person to be our president. I feel sorry for him, he has been used by some bad guys for their interests!

Geta Lolo!
