Indonesia Death Toll 3,000,000 *
In 1965, the CIA backed Suharto in a year long massacre to gain neo-colonial control of Indonesia, and to destroy what the united $tates feared was an emerging communist nation.
Regarding the figures, Sison writes:
Regarding the number of victims in the 1965 massacre, I prefer to take the face value of the statement of General Sarwo Edhie that three million were killed, in the absence of a more accurate accounting by more credible entities. He should know what he was talking about because he was the commanding general of the command in charge of the massacre. The problem with being too indeterminate in the estimates, from the low of 300,000 to 1.5 million, is that the imperialists and their press are playing down the number and trying to induce the people to forget about the butchery. At the same time, they busy themselves with upping the number of supposed victims of revolutionary forces in other countries.*This is only a total of data reported at imperialismkills.org and is not necessarily a complete statistic
