“Ever since the Indonesians set foot on Papuan soil, human rights abuses have been the rule of the day. In the antiquity or the dream time, the Indonesian quest had been Papuan slaves and the birds of paradise. Since 1962 however the quest has been for the rich mineral deposits, the vast virgin forest with its timber and the 'empty' land. The West Papuans have had to be removed from their land by hook or by crook." |

This is the extraordinary slander, because Indonesia just emerging in 1945 after the World War II, and Indonesia's name just emerging in 1920s with the national revolution. The antiquity Indonesia's region is included the two giant state, [[Srivijaya]] and [[Majapahit]], not include Papua. So, there is no slavery from the Sumatrans and Javanese to the Papuans, and this is the extraordinary slander. Brickman also made the fake documents as if made by [[Andrew Gilchrist]], the British ambassador in Indonesia and found in the [[William Palmer]]'s house.
