Die "Zeit" hat ein paar Chatnachrichten von Axel-Springer-Chef Dpfner verffentlicht. Der Link geht zur Tagesschau, bei der "Zeit" ist das hinter Paywall.

Die "Zeit" hat sich entschieden, die Chatnachrichten nicht zu paraphrasieren, sondern sie inklusive Tipp- und Grammatikfehlern zu zitieren, wodurch Dpfner wie ein unterbelichteter Vollidiot wirkt. Nicht nur das, sie packen noch "mit ibama meint er vielleicht den US-Prsidenten Barack Obama" und so dran, um den Eindruck noch zu verstrken.

Ich habe das bei der Lektre als sehr manipulativ und unter der Grtellinie empfunden. berhaupt fhle ich mich sehr unwohl bei dieser ganzen Nummer. Ist das legitim, private Chatnachrichten von anderen Leuten zu beschaffen, zu lesen und dann auch noch zu verffentlichen? Die zitieren jetzt nicht Dpfners Pornoprferenzen, aber es fhlt sich trotzdem wie ein sehr unfairer Eingriff in jemandes Privatsphre an.

Gut, viele von den Nachrichten haben tatschlich einen Nachrichtenwert. Beispielsweise dass Dpfner seine Mitarbeiter im Wahlkampf "gefragt" hat, ob man nicht noch mehr fr die FDP zu tun, damit die genug Hebel haben, die Ampel kaputtmachen zu knnen. Das ist skandals, aber jetzt auch nicht wirklich berraschend. Die Springer-Publikationen standen noch nie fr journalistische Integritt und Unabhngigkeit.

Sie haben auch ein paar Ossi-feindliche uerungen von Dpfner gefunden. Die nutzt jetzt der vllig berflssige Ostbeauftragte der Bundesregierung dafr, auch mal irgendwo zitiert zu werden. Aus meiner Sicht kann man die auch mit Vorsatz und Anstrengung nicht als Aufforderung an seine Mitarbeiter sehen, mehr Anti-Ossi-Meinungsmache zu fahren. Das ist seine Privatmeinung, die htte man nicht verffentlichen mssen oder sollen.

Fr mich bleibt als Fazit von diesem Artikel daher, dass ich nichts ber Dpfner gelernt habe, das ich nicht eh schon wusste oder vermutete, sondern ich habe etwas ber die redaktionellen Standards der "Zeit" gelernt. Ich bin mal gespannt, wie die Retourkutsche von Dpfner aussieht. Werden wir demnchst die Browserhistory von Joffe in der "Welt" sehen?

Ich hoffe nicht.

Update: Ich habe auf die Schnelle nur einen Kommentar gesehen, der sich auf Seiten Dpfners geschlagen hat. Im Cicero. Hinter einer Paywall. Damit ebenfalls nicht verlinkbar. Ist mir ja ein Rtsel, wieso sich die Publikationen alle so ins Aus schieen mit ihrem Paywall-Schei.

Update: Ein Lob an dieser Stelle brigens fr die Tagesschau, die die Zitate als "angebliche Dpfner-uerungen" bezeichnet. Das ist an der Stelle genau das richtige Adjektiv.

Update: Die Diskussionen empfinde ich gerade als sehr interessant, die ich gerade mit meinen Kumpels fhre. Im Wesentlichen ist der Konsens, dass der Dpfner das verdient hat, weil seine Zeitungen seit Jahren...

While reports about the referendum for the Voice pull in every direction, for, against and in between, the Parliament of Australia has announced that the Joint Select Committee on the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice Referendum will commence its program of public hearings today in Canberra.

At its first hearing the Committee will hear evidence from representatives of the Uluru Statement from the Heart and the Indigenous Voice Co-design Process, Thomas Mayor and Kerry OBrien, the Hon Robert French AC, and panels of eminent legal witnesses.

The Committee is inquiring into the provisions of the Constitution Alteration (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice) 2023 (Bill), introduced to the House by Hon Mark Dreyfus MP, Attorney-General on 30 March 2023.

Committee Chair Senator Nita Green said the Committee will be interested to focus its discussion on the question of whether the legislative provisions achieve what is intended and give effect to the Governments stated objectives before it moves to a referendum.

The Committee looks forward to the contributions received from witnesses as it moves to regional centres and back to Canberra for its hearings.

Congratulations to the ABC's 2023 trainee intake. Glad we are no longer seeing the quotas of private school pale males with hipster beards. Equality is crucial at Diversity Headquarters.

Maybe Ive missed it, but there seems to be a very muted response from the Australian public to a story that broke overnight which should be stoking widespread outrage. Chris Graham explains.

The rape case, from a regional court in Victoria, involves two young men ganging up on a female friend at a 21^st birthday party in 2016. The story has been widely reported by national media, in some cases multiple times. Heres the ABCs take:

Two men twice convicted of raping and sexually assaulting a woman at a party in regional Victoria seven years ago have been spared further prison time, and will instead serve community corrections orders.

Following a retrial last year, Shaun Bloomfield, of Horsham, and Luke Merryfull, of Geelong, both 28, were sentenced for the rape today in the Melbourne County Court. The men raped a young woman in a caravan at a party near Balmoral, south of Horsham in western Victoria, in April 2016.

The pairs initial convictions were overturned on appeal after a witness came forward with new evidence the day after the men were jailed in April 2019.

Bloomfield and Merryfull each spent 522 days in prison before the Court of Appeal overturned their convictions in September 2020.

The case then went to several retrials before the men were convicted for the second time in August last year, after pleading not guilty to the charges against them.

Thats the bare facts. Now heres how its being reported over in Korea: Two men convicted of raping a woman in 2016, have walked free from court, with a judge ruling they shouldnt spend any more time behind bars. Theyd already been jailed for a year. (sic) But county court judge David Brookes said theyd suffered enough, given extraordinary delays in the case.

The poor bastards. Imagine having to suffer through extraordinary legal delays, a substantial proportion of which happened to be the direct result of their first conviction being appealed by them.

Slow clap for the Australian justice system for yet another demonstration of how wildly incapable it is of dealing rationally and equitably with the crime of rape.

Unfortunately, the problem here is not merely the sentencing of the two men, which is manifestly inadequate. The problem is also the comments of the sentencing judge, David Brookes. For the real gravity of that to emerge,

As more people and their personal data fall victim to increased data harvesting in Australia, the Human Rights Law Centre is calling on the Federal Government to embrace bold proposed reforms to better protect peoples right to privacy.

Two years after the review of the Privacy Act was announced and following extensive public consultation, in February the Attorney Generals Department proposed a suite of much-needed reforms to protect privacy in the digital age.

Key proposals include placing additional requirements on entities that handle peoples personal information, giving people more transparency and control over how and when their data is used for targeted advertising, and improving options for people to seek redress in situations where their privacy has been breached.

 The Human Rights Law Centre welcomes the proposals to strengthen privacy protections in line with international standards and supports stronger protections against invasive targeting, and the introduction of a statutory privacy tort with appropriate safeguards.

The Human Rights Law Centre also supports enhancing the privacy regulators enforcement functions and information gathering powers, and establishing a federal Charter of Human Rights, would help Australia to strike the balance between the right to privacy and other human rights. 

Scott Cosgriff, Senior Lawyer at the Human Rights Law Centre said:

 "Technology should serve communities, not put people at risk. Australias existing privacy laws are out-of-date and fundamentally inadequate for protecting human rights in the digital age.

 As online business practices threaten to move further towards surveillance and intensive collection and retention of our personal information, the Albanese Government should embrace this opportunity to reclaim the right to privacy for people in Australia. In addition to updating the Privacy Act, the government should go further by protecting the right to privacy in a federal Charter of Human Rights.

 "Giving people greater control over their own personal information will address the human rights risks posed by micro-targeted disinformation campaigns that can turbo-charge discrimination, facilitate political manipulation and distort public debate on matters of critical importance.

With existing privacy laws so seriously out of date, the Albanese Government must stand its ground against the powerful interests that profit from invasive data practices online, and take action to protect peoples lives.

Frances President Emmanuel Macron is making a mark on the world stage. At home its a different kind of mark. He raises the ire of most of his ow people. Both are the sides of the same coin, and in accord with the history of France. Take post Second World War leader De Gaulle. An autocrat at home and a fierce defender of Frances sovereignty abroad. Macron is of a similar mould.

This week, he marked out Frances independence from United States global geopolitics and launched a process of mending relations with China. He put his position as a defender of multipolarity, instead of an order of one dominant nation. He expressed a position that is strong and growing across Europe, behind the veneer of unity with the ambitions of the United States.

Macron is winning kudos for this stand, as well as the predictable attacks, from those on the other side of the divide.

Back home, Macron is mired in the mess created by his ramming through by decree the raising of the pension age to 64. The scale of the response out in the streets and the wave of rolling strikes, by a for once united union movement, is far more than was expected.

Hindsight can now point to the realisation that this did not come out of the blue. The French have been becoming increasingly fed up with a series of what they see as attacks on their rights. There were the conditions gave rise to the Yellow Vest...

The amount of critically endangered fish species in Australia has recently doubled after nine species were newly categorized as critically endangered in March. All nine species are part of the galaxias genus, and an additional tenth galaxias species has been labeled as endangered.

The findings present an urgent need to conserve these species. One major problem for these fish is the presence of invasive species, particularly brown and rainbow trout. Invasive fish species can crowd the critically endangered species into smaller portions of their original range or separate populations while also competing for resources.

If we are serious about stopping extinctions, then we need to tackle the major threats that are driving declines of our native animals, James Trezise, conservation director at Australias Invasive Species Council, told The Guardian. Scientists have recommended a threat abatement plan be established for freshwater pest fish, yet this hasnt happened.

The newly listed fish species include short-tail galaxias, tapered galaxias, East Gippsland galaxias and West Gippsland galaxias. Galaxiids, also known as mountain minnows, are often mistaken to be the same species, which can hinder conservation efforts. There are currently more than 40 different species of galaxiids in Australia, with many of them under threat, including the nine species now listed as critically endangered.

The nine species join another nine species for a total of 18 fish species officially recognized as critically endangered in Australia. According to Trezise, the species have greater than a 50% chance of going extinct within just two decades.

Because invasive species force the critically endangered species into small areas, these vulnerable populations are at greater risk from natural disasters, like flooding, drought or wildfires, and inbreeding. Extreme weather events are becoming more of a risk to galaxiids as climate change worsens, warned the Arthur Rylah Institute, which has been involved with galaxiid research and conservation for over 30 years.

Faith on Trial: Hillsong- a childrens level sensationalist podcast for the masses

This News Corp Faith on Trial: Hillsong podcast has come up with nothing new. It is just a sensationalist and shallow regurgitation of some of what has been known about the Houstons and Hillsong, most of it for a very long time.

One of the journalists involved in this News Corp podcast, a young lady from Finland, approached me at court and asked me for an interview. She told me what they were doing.

News Corp is a global media company owned by the Murdochs who live in New York City. Rupert Murdoch, now in his 90s, was an Australian who took up American citizenship over fifty years ago. One of his sons Lachlan now runs it. Lachlan used to live in Bronte Beach. For a time at the end of my street. I never approached him or spoke to him. Later he moved to a nice ocean view house near Bronte shops. Then he moved to America to help his dad. Recently he bought the most expensive house in America.

Surely the Murdochs could afford to pay someone knowledgeable and a real investigative journalist to research and dismantle Hillsong.

These New Corp journalists are mainly Gen Y and Gen X airheads.

Former US President Donald Trump has dismissed claims that Russia was behind the destruction of the Nord Stream gas pipelines last year, but said that speculating on the true perpetrator might get our country in trouble.

Speaking to Foxs Tucker Carlson in an interview set to air in full this week, Trump was asked for his thoughts about who blew up the Nord Stream pipeline, which was hit by multiple blasts under mysterious circumstances last September.

I dont want to get our country in trouble so I wont answer it. But I can tell you who it wasnt, was Russia. How about when they blamed Russia. They said Russia blew up their own pipeline. You got a kick out of that one, too. It wasnt Russia, he told the Fox News pundit.

While the US and other Western governments have so far offered few details about ongoing investigations into the sabotage, a February report by investigative journalist Seymour Hersh stated that US President Joe Biden had personally ordered the bombing as a way to persuade Germany to ramp up support for Ukraine amid its conflict with Russia.

Washington has vocally denied the report, which relied on anonymous sources, and insisted it had no role in the bombings. Its a completely false story. Theres no truth to it. Not a shred of it, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told Fox in February.

Ukrainian officials have similarly denied any involvement in the Nord Stream sabotage, and subsequent reporting by the New York Times has claimed that an unnamed pro-Ukrainian group was behind the attack. It is unclear how the group could have accomplished the bombing from a small pleasure yacht as reported, however, as the operation would have required military-grade explosives and experienced divers, among other things.

Hersh has rejected the Times account as part of a ...

In 2015, 21 Coptic men walked the shores of Libya in bright orange jumpsuits towards their deaths at the hands of Islamic State, as the world observed it on mobile devices. However, while people worldwide watched with mouths agape, the greater Coptic community was not left dumbfounded nor surprised by the targeted attack. While the community was shaken by the death of the 21 martyrs, the event was certainly not unprecedented, neither in its intentions nor its effects.

Copts are a part of an ethno-religious minority located in modern day Egypt. Although they are a minority in a primarily Muslim country, Copts make up almost 10% of Egypts population. With over eight million Coptic people within the country, and their diasporic counterparts living predominantly in the United States, Canada, and Australia, there is approximately a total of 18 million Coptic people around the globe. Although there are millions of Copts, many only know the Coptic Orthodox church in the context of devastating news headlines describing church bombings, kidnappings, and executions within Egypt.

Christian persecution first became apparent in AD 249, when Roman Emperor Decius issued an edict to re-establish the state religion, requiring inhabitants to worship the gods of their Roman conquerors. With this edict, and blatant refusal to comply, persecution took place on an imperial scale, culminating in about 800,000 men, women, and children being martyred in Egypt under Roman Emperor Diocletian. As the river Nile ran red with the blood of the martyrs, it became apparent that these events in Egypt would be characterized as a monumental period of Christian persecution. For this reason, the Coptic Churchs calendar starts from AD 284, the year of Diocletians accession to the throne, and is referred to as Anno Martyrii meaning Era of the Martyrs. While Decius edict was initially put in place as a means to ensure that everyone in his empire could participate in full traditional sacrifices, some historians agree that Emperor Diocletians primary intention was to wipe out Christianity. Although Diocletians efforts seemed successful in the moment, the Diocletianic persecution failed to accomplish its goals in the long term, as the Roman Empire did not have the ability to overthrow an organization that had a sizable population inhabiting most of the provinces bordering the Mediterranean. Additionally, many Christian lead...

Executive summary

There were 31.2% higher deaths in the gold standard Pfizer Phase 3 clinical trials.

There is only one way to know whether or not the vaccine caused any of the deaths in the 21 vaccinated patients who died: proper histopathology.

Pfizer never did it and the FDA never asked for it.

This was the biggest mistake in the pandemic and nobody has acknowledged that or lifted a finger to correct it (as I point out below). Had they done the proper testing on the 21 deaths, the vaccine would never have been approved.

In lieu of the proper tests, there were assurances from Pfizer that nobody died from the vaccine. Thats absurd. We need the tests, not assurances. The tests are cheap and dispositive.

We can fix this in a New York minute, but nobody wants to know the answer.

Today, only Ryan Cole is doing the proper histopathology and in 100% of the cases hes been asked to look at, he can attribute the deaths to the vaccine.

Someday, I hope that well have leadership at the CDC that is not corrupt and that will ask Medical examiners to do the proper tests.

This can literally happen instantly. For example, the CDC says that tomorrow, every Medical Examiner in the US should do histopathology looking for the vaccine as a cause of death on the next person who dies. This is no big extra burden for a medical examiner just a few extra steps.

Or they can ask just a few medical examiners in highly vaccinated regions to run the extra tests on everyone who has an autopsy for the next 30 days (and to make sure that everyone who dies suddenly gets an autopsy done).

The bottom line is this: we could almost instantly have proof of whether the vaccine is safe and effective or not and the costs in time and money is de minimis.

The CDC is simply not interested in finding the truth about the vaccines, even though their job is to protect America from health threats:

Perhaps its time to re-write the CDCs mission statement to be more accurate? Here is my suggestion:

CDC works 24/7 to protect the vaccine manufacturers so that nobody in America ever finds out just how deadly the vaccines really are...

The hack on Latitude Financial is Australias biggest cyberattack, with drivers license numbers, passports and financial documents among the stolen information.

There is a mole within the Pentagon and officials are eagerly seeking to find the source. Someone has been leaking classified documents to the public that include plans to involve the international community in the Ukrainian conflict. Someone in the intelligence community wants the public to know about Americas increasing involvement in the Russia-Ukraine proxy war.

A source close to Zelensky has said that Ukraine has scrapped previous war strategies due to the leaked information. The documents actually mention that the US has been spying on Zelensky himself, which comes as no surprise. Chris Meagher, the assistant to the secretary of defense for public affairs, said the leak is under investigation and that they do not know how much information has been leaked. Meagher claims some of the documents have been altered in an attempt to cover up the truth. He is reassuring allies of our commitment to safeguarding intelligence and fidelity to our security partnerships.

The documents were highly classified and contained information on how the US spies on its allies and enemies alike. The documents began appearing on Discord servers, 4Chan, and other platforms about a month ago, with over 50 sensitive documents now revealed to the public. The Five Eyes intelligence alliance, which includes Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK, are now urging the US to rectify the situation immediately. Time will only tell what secrets these documents reveal.

They could not deny that the papers were real. We have seen how the intelligence community treats those who expose the truth like Edward Snowden who must live out his existence in fear. The source knows the risks and will likely risk their life to expose the truth.

Semaglutide, known by the brand names Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus and others, is the latest weight-loss craze to hit Hollywood and beyond. The prescription drug, which is administered via a weekly injection, is intended to treat Type 2 diabetes, but its widely used off-label for weight loss.

For those who want to dive deeper into the science, the AMA video by Peter Attia does a nice job of providing the background of this very popular drug. You should be aware, however, that although Peter is a brilliant physician, he is stuck in the conventional paradigm and we disagree on many aspects of health and longevity.

A 2021 study funded by Novo Nordisk, the drugs maker, found using semaglutide once a week led to a 14.9% reduction in body weight among adults with obesity.¹ Theres been such a rush on the drugs that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration lists both Ozempic and Wegovy as currently in shortage. This, despite the drugs hefty price tag of about $1,400 a month.²

But quick fixes are rarely the answer when it comes to better health, especially in the case of complex issues like maintaining a healthy weight, which has mental, emotional and physical elements.

A weight loss drug, even if its seemingly effective, cannot address the underlying emotional drivers that may lead to overeating, for instance, and it wont save your health if you continue to eat an unhealthy diet no matter how thin your outward appearance may be.

By relying on medication to get thin, you rob your body of the chance to balance its weight naturally, in the way biologically intended, and expose yourself to untold side effects in the process.

Semaglutide Mimics GLP-1 in Your Body, Reducing Appetite

Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs). As a peptide hormone, GLP-1 is, among other things, part of a group of incretin hormones, which are released when you eat to regulate insulin, along with many other functions.³

Along with affecting insulin, GLP-1 may influence the nervous system, leading to an appetite-reducing response. Many taking semaglutide report that the drug makes them feel full, faster, so theyre satisfied eating smaller amounts. According to a scientist writing under the name Modern Discontent on Substack:⁴

US-led Unipolar Hegemonic Order an Abnormal State, Will Be Reformed Sooner or Later

By Global Times

In more than 30 years since the end of the Cold War, human society has been stuck in US' unipolar hegemony. It is by no means an abnormal state. Yet Washington is addicted to it and wishes to make it a lasting norm. When a growing number of countries start to pursue benign adjustments to that global order, the US seems to have ants in the pants. 

Perhaps being shocked by the ongoing flurry of visits of European leaders to China, French President Emmanuel Macron's appeal on "strategic autonomy," and China's contributive role as a peace builder in the Middle East, some American observers and media outlets can hardly hide their anxiety. Fox News is quite blatant, claiming, "The Future is Now: China, Russia revert to pre-1989 world and fundamentally challenge the US-led West" on Monday. A headline in The Washington Post on the same day read, "China's new world order is taking shape." The article underlined that China's new initiatives over "security" and "civilization" essentially challenge the architecture of the US-led order.

What kind of order is the US-led order? There is only one answer to that question - the unipolar hegemonic order under US domination. Those analyses simply unveiled that the US is fearing losing its global leadership position. The country does not know how to face a different, multipolar order. Actually, it is resisting the arrival of such an order.

Therefore, whenever there are countries that are unwilling to obey US leadership or get in the way of the US cementing its leading role, Washington would feel like having a fishbone stuck in its throat and will waste no time bringing out its stick. To the US' surprise, today, even Saudi Arabia and France are tired of tolerating the US bossing them around or demanding obedience. That must have touched Washington's sensitive nerves.

Fox News compares the current international relations to the Cold War. This is an ignorant charge. "Th...

This is a question that comes up quite often. Particularly egregious headlines will make people angry, which quite naturally, means they want someone to blame. I get it. I do too. This work would be so much easier if there was just one or two people who were the cause and the source of the problem. We could target them, and even if we couldnt change their minds, we might be able to change their behaviour and there you go, problem solved. 

Unfortunately, thats just not the case. Anyone who has followed Fixed It will know the fixes happen across all mainstream publications that publish breaking news, crime and court reporting. (The reasons its focussed in those areas are complex. If youd like to find out more, its covered fully in the Fixed It book.)

After years of doing this work, I believe that targeting journalists who wrote an article published under a terrible headline does more harm than good. 

Journalists almost never write their own headlines. It might happen sometimes in digital publications or smaller outlets, but its impossible to know for sure. Some newsrooms still have sub-editors to write headlines, but theyre mostly concentrated in print publications where headlines are about attracting attention and using space on the page. Digital headlines are more likely to come from journalists but they could also be written by an editor, another journalist, or a section head and there is no way of finding out who that might have been. Online headlines are usually written with the need to attract attention in mind, but theyre also about search engine optimisation and social media shares. Any number of people could be involved in this process.

To give an example, if a journalist from the Daily Telegraph wrote an article about a murder in Sydney, the headline for the print edition might be written by the sub-editor, the section editor or the head of the newsroom. The same article could go out on the Teles digital edition under a headline written by any of the digital editors or sub-editors working that day. The Herald Sun, the Courier Mail, The Hobart Mercury and NT News might all republish the article in their print or digital editions, and each of them might use a different headline written by a different person. The article might also be posted on Facebook under yet another headline from the social media manager, and on Twitter with a much shorter one written by whoever is running their twitter feed that day. Its extremely unlikely the journalist who wrote the article would be able to write or even keep track of all the different headers posted over their piece. Its equally impossible for someone outside all these newsrooms to identify the person responsible for one specific headline. 

In the early days of Fixed It, I used to leave the journalists by-line in the headline image, which would som...

US-Philippines Largest-ever Military Drills Meet Fierce Protests and Criticism

The US and the Philippines reportedly started their "largest-ever" military drills on Tuesday, involving more than 17,000 troops from both sides, as well as representatives from other countries, including Australia, which has met with fierce local protests against the increasing military presence of the US in the Philippines and warnings from observers of jeopardizing regional stability. 

The drills include 12,200 US military personnel, 5,400 Filipino forces, and 111 Australian soldiers. 

The event known as Balikatan 2023 that will last till April 28, came after Manila's announcement last week of the locations of four more military bases it is allowing the US military to use. One of them is in the north of Luzon Island, the nearest bit of land to the island of Taiwan. The drills also come ahead of a "2+2" meeting of defense and foreign ministers in Washington, DC from later on Tuesday through Wednesday.

The exercise incorporating training activities throughout the Philippines will also include a live-fire drill to bombard and sink a decommissioned ship in South China Sea waters. US warships, fighter jets as well as its Patriot missiles, HIMARS rocket launchers and anti-tank Javelins would be showcased, according to US and Philippine military officials, CNBC reported 

The two countries will stage an amphibious landing on the western island of Palawan facing the South China Sea. It will also be the first time Philippine and US navy frigates fire their weapons toward the South China Sea from waters off Zambales province, north of Manila.

Protesters were seen burning a US flag as they expressed opposition to the military event outside the Armed Forces of th...

JAKARTA When the Indonesian government announced its food estate program in 2020, it envisioned the establishment of large-scale agricultural plantations across the country. These plantations of crops like rice, cassava and potato were supposed to be the answer to what the government says is an impending global food crisis, and would help feed the worlds fourth-largest population. But a field investigation at the sites of the food estate program in the Bornean province of Central Kalimantan by independent researchers in March 2022 and February 2023 instead found sprawling plantations that had been abandoned. Three years into the program, theres no rice or cassava crops ready to be harvested, and no farmers tending their fields. Instead, wild shrubs have sprouted on these plots of lands, and excavators have started to rust away, according to the investigation by environmental NGOs Pantau Gambut and Walhi Central Kalimantan, and BBC News Indonesia. In the village of Tewai Baru, Gunung Mas district, for instance, the investigation found 600 hectares (nearly 1,500 acres) of cassava plantations withering away. Villagers told the researchers that the crops hadnt been harvested. And despite being more than a year old, well into maturity for cassava plants, these crops appeared thin and stunted, the researchers found. The cassava tubers themselves were small, about the size of a human finger. The investigation also found seven abandoned excavators that no longer worked.
