Chapter 72 Political intelligence: Can affect the overall political situation (2)
The reason why the CIA raised the theme of "Sukarno was willing to be driven by a former Soviet female spy" is mainly due to two aspects: First, in the country ruled by Sukarno, people's cultural and religious ethics Concepts are different.There, it is only natural for men to enjoy women.In its teachings, God promises to his loyal warriors that he will provide them with black-eyed, seductive women for their eternal enjoyment; second, among the leaders of various countries in the 20th century, Indonesian President Sukarno can be regarded as one A character with a rather unique behavior.Generally speaking, a figure who is the lord of a country pays more attention to influence in his private life, and strives to establish an image of a moral model among the public.Even if there are some people with a relatively erosive private life, they still indulge and enjoy themselves in their dormitories, rather than showing a dissolute appearance in public, especially in diplomatic activities, they are more cautious.But Sukarno is not the case. He can hunt for beauty regardless of the occasion, and has a reputation as a womanizer internationally.After repeated research by the CIA, they decided to use the scandal of Sukarno's life to get rid of him.But they also know that in a Muslim country like Indonesia, the status of women is very low, and Sukarno's playing with women cannot arouse resentment in people's minds.So the theme of the CIA's action plan is: women defeated Sukarno, the leader supported by the Indonesian people.In the special Indonesian culture, it is intolerable and unforgivable for men to be deceived by women, gain the upper hand by women, or be defeated intellectually.

After the CIA chose the theme of bringing down Sukarno, it spread the news widely in the world and in Indonesia at the same time.The CIA also added a sensational political conspiracy to the pornographic news about Sukarno. They made a big splash: President Sukarno had fallen in love with a former Soviet blonde, and this blonde was a former Soviet leader. Soviet intelligence agent, who tricked Sukarno into submitting to the feet of the former Soviets to the detriment of Indonesian national interests; so that Indonesians could see that this was by no means a matter of ordinary way of life, but complete depravity, It's an outright betrayal.The CIA spread the gossip in newspapers and magazines around the world.However, these pornographic news did not cause any repercussions in Indonesia, and the people did not rise up to overthrow President Sukarno.Faced with this situation, the CIA was somewhat unwilling, so it decided to increase its propaganda efforts to convince the Indonesian people that it was true.So, the CIA officials came up with a nasty idea - to make a pornographic film of Sukarno's affairs to discredit him.In this way, the CIA filmed a film called "Beautiful Days", and also took some still photos, which were widely distributed in the Far East.

The Central Intelligence Agency was afraid that the pornography was not strong enough in the operation to bring down the Sukarno regime, so it had to add a little more ammunition.As a result, the CIA also strengthened ties with Indonesian rebel officers in Sumatra.The CIA supplied the rebels not only with weapons but also with B-26 pilots—as it had done in Guatemala—to support the rebels' operations. During Sukarno's visit to Japan in February 1958, the officers declared themselves the Indonesian government.However, Sukarno's performance in the crisis was far more powerful than imagined.Less than five months after Sukarno ordered his troops into battle, the government of rebel officers collapsed. On May 2, 5, Alan Pope, pilot of a CIA B-1958 bomber, was shot down and captured by Sukarno's forces after accidentally bombing a school building, killing many civilians.The CIA made a decision to withdraw from the fight. Four months later, at the personal request of Robert Kennedy, Sukarno released Pope, marking the end of the CIA covert operation.

After the incident, U.S. officials have always denied that the CIA had participated in the military rebellion in Indonesia in 1958 and planned secret activities to overthrow the Sukarno regime.But the Indonesians are well aware that the rebels in Sumatra, Sulawesi and other places are supported by the CIA.Sukarno did not want to fall out with the Americans, so he decided to let the matter go.Because Sukarno understood that once he fell out with the United States, Indonesia would lose the economic assistance from the United States.

The United States has been reluctant to give up its interests in the Far East. In 1959, the Dalai Lama in China's Tibet region launched an armed rebellion. US President Eisenhower was very concerned about what happened in China. At this time, Sukarno's moderate attitude towards the United States was in line with Secretary of State Dulles' policies in the Far East.In order to protect the interests of the United States in the Far East, the United States increased its economic assistance to Indonesia.The CIA's position was that as long as Sukarno was willing to maintain cooperation with the United States and not lean toward Communist China or the former Soviet Union, they let Sukarno rule the "Thousand Islands" as he wished.

The world situation is changing rapidly, but the "September 1965 Incident" that shocked the world in Indonesia in [-] really fulfilled the wish of the US Central Intelligence Agency.

In September 1965, the "Committee of Generals" headed by Suharto, commander of the Indonesian Army's Strategic Reserve Command, conspired to launch a coup against President Sukarno. On September 9, a group of young military officers rose against the coup and killed six generals, including the army chief of staff.On October 9, 30, in the name of a "coup d'état" by the Communist Party of Indonesia, Suharto mobilized the army power of the whole country and carried out a brutal suppression together with extreme religious forces. In 6, the Indonesian Provisional People's Consultative Conference passed Decision No. 1965 to ban communism and Marxism-Leninism in Indonesia.

Fast forward decades. In 2000, the current Indonesian President Wahid has repeatedly stated since the beginning of March: There are good reasons for recommending that the People's Consultative Assembly abolish the No. 3 Decision that it passed in 1966 to ban communism and Marxism-Leninism in Indonesia.To this end, Wahid made a comprehensive explanation to the People's Consultative Assembly on May 25.Wahid's spirit of adhering to justice, advocating democracy and respecting facts has won wide praise from public opinion at home and abroad, and this proposal is even more impressive.Because in the past 5 years, whoever dared to talk about this issue will be in great trouble. The light ones will be imprisoned, and the serious ones will lead to death.As soon as this proposal came out, it not only immediately caused an uproar in Indonesia, but also attracted widespread attention from the world.Amidst the praises in the world, some people inevitably feel uncomfortable. For example, the United States, whether the CIA will take action again, people will wait and see.

§§§Section [-] Other contests between countries
Intelligence warfare is almost everywhere in the military, politics, business, and even begging.When the contest of intelligence personnel rises to the national level, the intelligence war will develop into a veritable contest between countries.And this kind of contest between countries is diverse. It is not only a contest of intelligence warfare weapons and equipment, but also a contest of intellectual skills of intelligence personnel, and even a contest of strategies and tactics between countries. The FBI uses the intelligence war between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War as an example to describe other kinds of contests between countries.

During the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union had a thrilling contest to obtain each other's strategic intelligence and military secrets.Therefore, it was commonplace between the two superpowers at that time that the FBI and the KGB of the former Soviet Union captured and released the intelligence personnel of each other.For the intelligence personnel of the other side who are active in the country, the two countries are tacitly aware of it, sometimes deliberately turning a blind eye, and generally can live in peace.If the two sides confront each other or turn against each other, the intelligence personnel will suffer.Once "all the stolen goods are obtained", the intelligence personnel will either die or be imprisoned; the luckiest are those "diplomats" with diplomatic immunity, who will eventually end up being unpopular and deported.Of course, usually the two sides will have back and forth, report grievances to each other, name each other and confess to the world with justice, and carry out tit-for-tat intelligence personnel warfare.This is actually a vicious international political struggle using intelligence personnel as a tool.

For a period of time after the end of the Cold War, Russia under the leadership of Yeltsin had a "honeymoon period" with the United States.Even cold war intelligence personnel from the United States and the former Soviet Union gathered in Texas, the United States, for exchanges, and offered advice to their former opponents to improve their respective intelligence personnel skills.The two parties even revealed their secret family background to each other in order to win each other's trust.

But not long after, the "game of catching intelligence personnel" between the United States and Russia became more and more intense.Since 1994 alone, the United States has captured and severely sentenced CIA senior counterintelligence officer Hames, CIA officer Nicholson, retired military intelligence analyst Boone, Navy codebreaker Daniel King, Army Colonel George Trofimov, FBI agent Earl, all the way to FBI "Super Mole" Hansen.These men were all arrested for Russian intelligence theft. In December 1999, the United States also expelled a Russian diplomat from the country.

At the same time, Russia is not soft on US intelligence personnel. Since November 1997, he has successively captured American technician Bliss, a second secretary of the American embassy, ​​retired American intelligence officer Pope, a Russian from Lithuania, and Russian nuclear expert Igor. Intelligence of the Americans and Russians. In July 11, Russia also expelled American diplomats accordingly.

Judging from the cases of intelligence personnel disclosed by the United States and Russia, in recent years, the intelligence activities of the two sides against each other have not only returned to the level of the Cold War era, but also the means of intelligence activities have become increasingly advanced and intensified.The U.S. government revealed that it spent hundreds of millions of dollars to dig an electronic eavesdropping tunnel underground at the Russian embassy in the U.S., which has been maintained and used to this day.Russia has installed bugs in the secret meeting room of the US State Department, and the level is similar.In terms of engaging in intelligence personnel activities against each other, the United States and Russia can be said to be equally divided.

But what puzzles the world is that after the end of the Cold War, there was a honeymoon period in the relationship between the United States and Russia, almost to the point of calling them brothers and sisters.Why is the activity of intelligence personnel on both sides increasing unabated?
In fact, the escalation of intelligence personnel activities and the battle to catch intelligence personnel between the United States and Russia reflects the failure of the two countries to establish real mutual trust after the end of the Cold War.Regardless of Russia's strong opposition, the United States insisted on implementing NATO's eastward expansion, even to the three Baltic countries that were formerly part of the former Soviet Union. Sima Zhaozhi's intention to squeeze Russia's strategic space is well known.In fact, Russia's instructions to strengthen intelligence activities against the United States were issued by Yeltsin long before Putin took office.This reflects that Russia has never regarded the United States as a real friend, but a potential enemy.
