Trump deal imposes Muslim compradors over Indonesian ethnonationalists and what is sacred to them
At a press conference at Trump Tower in New York to declare his loyalty to the Republican Party, Donald Trump was flanked by guests from Indonesia, and made a big show of announcing one very special guest, Setya Novanto.
“He wants it big, and overlooking the sacred Tanah-Lot.”
Trump deal in Indonesia imposes Islamic compradors over ethno-nationalism and his hotel and business upon what is sacred to Indonesian ethno-nationalists.
FOUR CORNERS, 3 July 2017:
While running for President, Trump was courting the Indonesians over lucrative resort deals in Bali and Java; and lobbying Indonesian MP’s to expedite a toll road that would benefit his development.
The secretive dealings raise new questions about Trump’s corporate interests abroad and about the unholy business and political alliances he’s forged.
While at home, Trump rails against Muslim extremists, in the world’s largest Muslim country, his allies are cozying-up to Islamists who are posing a direct threat the country’s ethno-nationalism.
Donald Trump has entered into two huge deals in Indonesia, and the first of them will land here, on the southern edge of Bali almost on top of one of the Island’s most sacred religious sites, Tanah Lot - an hour or two away from the main tourist areas, the Balanese have fought for decades to protect this temple and its surrounds.
“Not much is known of Trump’s plans but what is known that he wants it big, the biggest in Bali he says, he wants a tower on an island that bans them, and he wants it over looking the sacred Tahan Lot.”
“It’s one of the island-wide temples that are sacred to the Balanese, its the land, pana, and lot, which means ocean.”
Donald Trump makes deal with Islamic compradors in Indonesia, imposing them against the native stasis of Left ethno-nationalism, and his hotel and business upon what is sacred to native ethno-nationalists.
80,000 Indonesians were killed by Suharto on that beach in 1965, the victims were accused of being Leftists….
When President Suharto exited power in 1998, he took three decades of loot with him, estimated at 30 billion dollars.
Trump’s business partner in the deal, Harry Tanno, was a close friend of Suharto.
Tanno welcomes Trump and Sharia
Hizb-ut-Tahrir’s man is on screen talking after 37 minute mark - his appearance was the biggest thing in the whole video:
“Is it your ambition to impose Sharia Law in Indonesia?” “It is not our ambition, but our duty.”
An abstract kind of wild quid pro quo white America has going on there.

“Do they like me in Indonesia?” Donald Trump
It was one of the more bizarre moments of the Trump presidential campaign. At a press conference at Trump Tower in New York to declare his loyalty to the Republican Party, Donald Trump was flanked by guests from Indonesia, and made a big show of announcing one very special guest.
“Hey, Ladies and Gentlemen, this is a very - an amazing man. He is, as you know, Speaker of the House of Indonesia. He’s here to see me.” Donald Trump
It was unclear why the Indonesians were there, or why Mr Trump was making such a fuss of them.
Now a Four Corners investigation will reveal how Donald Trump, as he was closing in on his political rivals, was negotiating luxury resort deals in Bali and Java, raising serious questions about presidential conflicts of interest.
“The project is going to be a huge one, a mega project.” Landowner
In Bali, plans are under way to Trumpify one of the most iconic and sacred sites in Bali - Tanah Lot. But curiously, for a tourist destination usually keen to talk up what the island paradise has to offer, government officials are not keen to talk about the proposed Trump Tower development.
“I can’t talk about this. I cannot talk about this.” Balinese government official.
In a second development on Java, the deal to build a massive gaudy theme park and resort development has been inked, leaving local farmers frightened of what the future holds.
“When the financial power of Trump comes here, we the original people who live here are powerless. Their enormous wealth buys enormous influence.”
Four Corners investigates how these deals were done through an unholy alliance formed between Donald Trump and controversial business and political figures in Indonesia.
Trump’s business partners have a troubling history with ties to the corrupt Suharto regime.
While at home in the United States, President Trump rails against Islamic extremism. In Indonesia, he has formed political alliances with politicians aligned with Islamist forces.
“He is dealing with the worst of Indonesia’s past, and he is going to deal with the worst of Indonesia’s future, the Islamists. I think Donald Trump is going to get his businesses messier and also Indonesia messier.” Human rights investigator.
The Company He Keeps, reported by Mark Davis and presented by Sarah Ferguson, goes to air on Monday 3rd July at 8.30pm EDT. It is replayed on Tuesday 4th July at 10.00am and Wednesday 5th at 11pm.

Great article, Daniel. I like the attention you’ve given this.
Prediction though: The Alt-Right either will not care about this, or they’ll invent a whole raft of excuses and 59-dimensional chess narratives to explain why funding Islamists in Indonesia is ‘actually a good thing’. And that any concerns that anyone expresses about this must be ‘anti-white’. Because of course.
