Excerpt: What do a Cessna in the blue waters of the Pacific Ocean, an Islamic cult, a Chicago family, and a
Soviet spy ring all have in common with a sitting U.S. President? The following are the actual events portrayed
in the story you just read, complete with real names and excerpts from the original Silvermaster FBI files.

Obama and the Indonesian Murder Cult by Mike Billington

Excerpt: What is less well known is the role played by the Indonesian-based pseudo-religious cult Subud, an
organization directly involved in carrying out the Indonesian massacres and an organization to which Barack
Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham, had very deep ties. Although there is no publicly available paper trail proving
that Ann Dunham was a member of the mystical cult Subud, it is known with certainty that she was very
closely associated with many of its members, both Indonesians and western members living in Indonesia at
that time. Obama’s step-father, Lolo Soetoro, a member of the Indonesian military who was studying at the
University of Hawaii at the time, was called back to Indonesia in 1966 by General Suharto, soon after Suharto’s
coup against the Father of Indonesia’s Independence, President Sukarno. This was precisely at the moment
that General Suharto was unleashing mass slaughter against Sukarno’s supporters. It is well documented that
the coup, and the genocide that followed, were orchestrated by the United
States, the British, and the Australians, acting through their Ambassadors in Jakarta (see Box, next page).
Soetoro, like all members of Suharto’s military regime, would have been called upon to participate in
the slaughter, which killed somewhere between 500,000 and a million Indonesian citizens for the “crime” of
supporting Sukarno and/or the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI), of being of Chinese descent, or simply of
not supporting the military junta. The massacres in Indonesia were barbaric,—some by gun, others by
machete, others by other means. While Obama’s step-father was engaged in the military side of this blood-
lust, the Subud cult, which his mother became involved in, took part in the civilian mobs that participated in
the killing. The founder of Subud, Muhammad Subuh Sumohadiwidjojo (called Bapak, meaning father, by
Subud members) was by that time deeply connected to British military intelligence, which had helped to
spread his cult internationally. Of even greater importance, Subud was one of the leading…

for the Middle East in the 1920s, and a proselytizer for the Subud cult. He is shown with his wife Elizabeth.]

Subud Vision dot org: Epilogue by Sahlan Diver
https //www subudvision org/zz/Epilogue htm
Excerpt: It was while watching this play, that I had my time shock. I suddenly realised that the performance I
was watching had been filmed thirty-three years ago in 1981— a lifetime away, literally so of course, but also
in terms of attitudes and expectations. I started to think back to what Subud was like in the late ’70s and early
’80s. It occurred to me that everything that is wrong with Subud now was already wrong then, also that we
saw what was wrong, but we variously explained the wrongness away for all the wrong reasons. I don’t think
anyone can be blamed for erroneous conclusions at the time. Subud was new and wonderful and all problems
could be seen as a working-out, part of an unstoppable, collective development with only one direction —
onward s and upwards. And even when you went from group to group and saw the same problems going
around and coming around, it all seemed so parochial set against Subud’s big successes in the wider world:
the establishment of an international bank, a multi-storey landmark office block in Jakarta, the inspiring hi-
tech dome being built onto the upcoming Anugraha Conference Centre, the ambitious and imaginative plans
that were being touted for redeveloping a harbour area in Sydney, Australia. These ventures were the counter-
balance to the aggressive negativity frequently expressed by many members and helpers towards Bapak’s big
idea, i.e. enterprise development with 25% of surplus profits going to charitable causes.
Excerpt: The Whole Picture Becomes Clear
Before I wrote my play, I’d always thought, like many other Subud members, ‘Of course Subud’s not a cult!
Where’s our sinister leader, our walled compound where we live cut off from the world, our suicide pacts?’ But
these are extreme examples. What I learnt was that cults don’t come about just through having a leader. Cults
are nothing without willing followers. You don’t even need a sinister leader; a benign leader can be
worshipped by his followers with such fervour after his death that a new cult arises.How can a situation arise
where a benign figure who has no intention of fathering a cult, nevertheless ends up doing so?
Quoting the words of a fellow editor:
[D]espite all [Subud’s] weirdness, there were no synaptic links in my mind that could enable me to join all the
dots. Like Sahlan, I just assumed it was all purification and would eventually work itself out. I had somehow
self-brainwashed and chosen to be a believer. The term ‘self-brainwash’ is the clue. A Subud friend asked me
recently how it was possible that intelligent Subud members could put aside their normal critical faculties
when it came to Subud matters, and naïvely, almost childishly, believe absolutely in everything Bapak told
them. I said I could answer his question, having been guilty of this myself. My theory is that it comes about
through a progression of circumstances. First, you experience the latihan. That is extraordinary enough. For
many also, difficult life circumstances have probably been the driving force that led them to ‘look for answers’
and eventually find Subud. Your first experience of Subud, as one of my fellow editors puts it, is as a ‘new
family’. Everything seems positive and amazing. Then you start to be convinced that the latihan truly is a gift
from the Almighty, to help mankind out of its current desperate state. If the latihan is from God, then surely
he must have chosen a very special person (i.e. Bapak) to be the first to receive and spread this precious gift.
Now (and here’s the emotionally appealing but nevertheless illogical step), if Bapak has been specially chosen,
then he must also be in special communication with God, able to receive absolute and incontrovertible truths
not only about spiritual matters, but also about worldly, organisational matters also. Therefore we must be
obedient to everything he says.
Once you have ‘seen the light’ in this way, then you become a kind of religious believer anxious to explain the
error of their ways to anyone who is experiencing doubt. A kind of self-reinforcing culture arises amongst like-
minded converts, which discourages questioning and which rewards ‘positive’ attitudes that fit in. So, what do
cults have in common, whether deliberate or accidental? One thing they particularly have in common is their
own unique way of looking at the world, which trumps normal experience. Every decision, every feeling, is
measured against this new way of looking at things. Anything that doesn’t fit is discarded as invalid. Just as
contradictory experiences must be discarded, so must contradictory people. Criticism of the cult must be
marginalised, typically through insinuation that the criticisers are people with character flaws or evil
intentions, poor unfortunates for whom the cult has been of no benefit. I was lucky enough to persuade a
well-known expert on cults to read my play. This person, who had no knowledge of Subud, commented that
the play ‘fully demonstrates the thought-control processes of cults’, which is interesting because all I did in
writing the play was mimic the typical way Subud members speak, in some cases using verbatim quotes.
What is not typical about Subud is that the fundamental beliefs which determine how we collectively act are
never explicitly stated. They only come out into the open if you happen to talk or act in a way that comes into
conflict with them. So what are these fundamental beliefs. It is not possible to characterise them precisely,
but the ones that are the insuperable obstacles to change are:
· Bapak received it all for us and gave us the perfect gift of Subud. Therefore we do not need to criticise or
question anything, only carry it out.
· Anybody who thinks he can improve on Bapak’s advice is obviously suffering from inflated ego and
therefore should not be taken seriously.
· Since Subud is from Bapak there cannot be anything wrong with it, therefore anyone who complains
about any aspect of Subud is merely indicating their own faults.
· Bapak’s advice was for always, not just for his time.
· Since Subud is a spiritual movement, all the important issues in Subud cannot avoid having a spiritual
component, therefore no important decisions should be made without testing their rightness.
· Harmony is vital to Subud and we should not do anything that encourages discord and endless
discussion. Be still and all problems will work themselves out.
· Receivings through the kejiwaan will always be more pure and correct than ideas from ‘mere mind’,
which will be tainted by desire and ego.
