Kalo anda jalan-jalan ke Google Earth, coba mampir ke sini koordinat ini 6°25′3.84″S 106°57′30.03″E

dari wikimapia, rupanya kompleks gedung ini bernama graha garuda tiara. dari hasil googling, rupanya ini sudah pernah dibahas paling tidak sejak setahun yang lalu. tampaknya kompleks gedung ini tidak lagi dipergunakan dan terbengkalai, tersangkut kasus dana jamsostek senilai 75 milyar. sejarah kompleks garuda tiara yang lumayan lengkap bisa dibaca di tulisan project jadul – garuda tiara, yang sayangnya tidak menampilkan tampak atas kompleks ini sehingga kurang menarik perhatian.

berikut ini adalah maket kompleks tersebut yang saya dapatkan dari tulisan Graha Garuda Tiara Indonesia, Cileungsi, Bogor:

Under Cover of Racist Myth, A New Land Grab in Australia: Claims of child abuse are proving a fertile pretext to menace the Aboriginal communities lyi

Its banks secured in the warmth of the southern spring, Australia is not news. It ought to be. An epic scandal of racism, injustice and brutality is being covered up in the manner of apartheid South Africa. Many Australians conspire in this silence, wishing never to reflect upon the truth about their society’s Untermenschen, the Aboriginal people.

The facts are not in dispute: thousands of black Australians never reach the age of 40; an entirely preventable disease, trachoma, blinds black children as epidemics of rheumatic fever ravage their communities; suicide among the despairing young is common. No other developed country has such a record. A pervasive white myth, that Aborigines leech off the state, serves to conceal the disgrace that money the federal government says it spends on indigenous affairs actually goes towards opposing native land rights. In 2006, some A$3bn was underspent “or the result of creative accounting”, reported the Sydney Morning Herald. Like the children of apartheid, the Aboriginal children of Thamarrurr in the Northern Territory receive less than half the educational resources allotted to white children.

In 2005, the UN committee on the elimination of racial discrimination described the racism of the Australian state, a distinction afforded no other developed country. This was in the decade-long rule of the conservative coalition of John Howard, whose coterie of white supremacist academics and journalists assaulted the truth of recorded genocide in Australia, especially the horrific separations of Aboriginal children from their families. They deployed arguments not dissimilar to those David Irving used to promote Holocaust denial.

Smear by media as a precursor to the latest round of repression is long familiar to black Australians. In 2006, the flagship current affairs programme of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Lateline, broadcast lurid allegations of “sex slavery” among the Mutitjulu people in the Northern Territory. The programme’s source, described as an “anonymous youth worker”, was later exposed as a federal government official whose “evidence” was discredited by the Northern Territory chief minister and the police.

The ABC has never retracted its allegations, claiming it has been “exonerated by an internal inquiry”. Shortly before last year’s election, Howard declared a “national emergency” and sent the army to the Northern Territory to “protect the children” who, said his minister for indigenous affairs, were being abused in “unthinkable numbers”.

Last February, with much sentimental fanfare, the new prime minister, Labor’s Kevin Rudd, made a formal apology to the first Australians. Australia was said to be finally coming to terms with its rapacious past and present. Was it? “The Rudd government,” noted a Sydney Morning Herald editorial, “has moved quickly to clear away this piece of political wreckage in a way that responds to some of its own supporters’ emotional needs, yet it changes nothing. It is a shrewd manoeuvre.”

In May, barely reported government statistics revealed that of the 7,433 Aboriginal children examined by doctors as part of the “national emergency”, 39 had been referred to the authorities for suspected abuse. Of those, a maximum of just four possible cases of abuse were identified. Such were the “unthinkable numbers”. They were little different from those of child abuse in white Australia. What was different was that no soldiers invaded the beachside suburbs, no white parents were swept aside, no white welfare was “quarantined”. Marion Scrymgour, an Aboriginal minister in the Northern Territory, said: “To see decent, caring [Aboriginal] fathers, uncles, brothers and grandfathers, who are undoubtedly innocent of the horrific charges being bandied about, reduced to helplessness and tears, speaks to me of widespread social damage.”

What the doctors found they already knew — children at risk from a spectrum of extreme poverty and the denial of resources in one of the world’s richest countries. Having let a few crumbs fall, Rudd is picking up where Howard left off. His indigenous affairs minister, Jenny Macklin, has threatened to withdraw government support from remote communities that are “economically unviable”. The Northern Territory is the only region where Aborigines have comprehensive land rights, granted almost by accident 30 years ago. Here lie some of the world’s biggest uranium deposits. Canberra wants to mine and sell it.

Foreign governments, especially the US, want the Northern Territory as a toxic dump. The Adelaide to Darwin railway that runs adjacent to Olympic Dam, the world’s largest uranium mine, was built with the help of Kellogg, Brown & Root — a subsidiary of American giant Halliburton, the alma mater of Dick Cheney, Howard’s “mate”. “The land grab of Aboriginal tribal land has nothing to do with child sexual abuse,” says the Australian scientist Helen Caldicott, “but all to do with open slather uranium mining and converting the Northern Territory to a global nuclear dump.”

What is unique about Australia is not its sun-baked, derivative society, clinging to the sea, but its first people, the oldest on earth, whose skill and courage in surviving invasion, of which the current onslaught is merely the latest, deserve humanity’s support.

Si Miskin yang Tamak

Alkisah di Riau pada jaman dahulu kala hiduplah sepasang suami istri yang sangat miskin.

Mereka hidup serba kekurangan karena penghasilan mereka tidak bisa mencukupi kebutuhan mereka sehari-hari. Jangankan untuk membeli lauk pauk, untuk mendapatkan beras pun kadang-kadang harus berhutang pada tetangga. Hidup mereka benar-benar memprihatinkan.

Suatu hari pak Miskin bermimpi. Seorang kakek datang menemuinya dan memberikannya seutas tali.
“Hai Miskin! Besok pergilah merakit dan carilah sebuah mata air di sungai Sepunjung!” kata si kakek yang kemudian menghilang.

Pak Miskin terbangun dengan bingung. “Wahai, mimpi apa aku tadi? Kenapa kakek tadi menyuruhku pergi merakit?” kata pak Miskin dalam hati.

Hari masih pagi, ketika pak Miskin akhirnya memutuskan untuk mengikuti pesan si kakek.
“Tidak ada salahnya mencoba. Siapa tahu aku mendapatkan keberuntungan,” pikir pak Miskin.

Maka pergilah ia dengan menggunakan perahu satu-satunya. Dia terus mendayung di sepanjang sungai sambil mencari mata air yang dimaksud si kakek dalam mimpinya. Tidak berapa lama dilihatnya riakan air di pinggir sungai pertanda bahwa di bawah sungai itu terdapat mata air.
“Hmmm, mungkin ini mata air yang dimaksud,” pikir pak Miskin.

Dia menengok ke kanan dan ke kiri mencari si kakek dalam mimpinya. Namun hingga lelah lehernya, si kakek tidak juga kelihatan.

Ketika dia sudah mulai tidak sabar, tiba-tiba muncullah seutas tali di samping perahunya. Tanpa pikir panjang ditariknya tali tersebut. Ternyata di ujung tali itu terikat rantai yang terbuat dari emas. Alangkah senangnya pak Miskin. Cepat-cepat ditariknya rantai itu.
“Oh, ternyata benar, ini adalah hari keberuntunganku. Dengan emas ini aku akan kaya!,” kata pak Miskin dengan gembira.

Dia menarik rantai itu dengan sekuat tenaga dan mengumpulkan rantai tersebut di atas perahunya. Tiba-tiba terdengar kicau seekor burung dari atas pohon: “Cepatlah potong tali itu dan kembalilah pulang!”

Namun karena terlalu gembira, pak Miskin tidak mengindahkan kicauan burung itu. Dia terus menarik rantai emas itu hingga perahunya tidak kuat lagi menahan bebannya. Dan benar saja, beberapa saat kemudian perahu itu miring dan kemudian terbalik bersama pak Miskin yang masih memegang rantai emasnya.

Rantai emas yang berat itu menarik tubuh pak Miskin hingga terseret ke dalam sungai. Pak Miskin berusaha menarik rantai itu. Namun rantai itu malah melilitnya dan menyeretnya semakin dalam.

Pak Miskin yang kehabisan udara, gelagapan di dalam air. Dengan susah payah dia melepaskan diri dan kembali ke permukaan. Dengan nafas tersengal-sengal dilihatnya harta karunnya yang tenggelam ke dalam sungai. Dalam hati dia menyesal atas kebodohannya. Seandainya dia tidak terlalu serakah pasti kini hidupnya sudah berubah. Tapia pa mau dikata, nasi sudah menjadi bubur. Dan pak Miskin pun pulang ke rumahnya dengan tangan hampa.

Perjalanan Panjang Pendakian Gunung Rinjani

Gunung Rinjani adalah gunung yang berlokasi di Pulau Lombok, Nusa Tenggara Barat. Gunung yang merupakan gunung berapi kedua tertinggi di Indonesia dengan ketinggian 3.726 m dpl serta terletak pada lintang 8º25' LS dan 116º28' BT ini merupakan gunung favorit bagi pendaki Indonesia karena keindahan pemandangannya. Gunung ini merupakan bagian dari Taman Nasional Gunung Rinjani yang memiliki luas sekitar 41.330 ha dan ini akan diusulkan penambahannya sehingga menjadi 76.000 ha ke arah barat dan timur. Secara administratif gunung ini berada dibawah tiga kabupaten yaitu: Lombok Timur, Lombok Tengah dan Lombok Barat. Di sebelah barat kerucut Rinjani terdapat kaldera dengan luas sekitar 3.500 m × 4.800 m, memanjang kearah timur anda barat. Di kaldera ini terdapat Segara Anak (segara= laut, danau) seluas 11.000.000 m persegi dengan kedalaman 230 m. Air yang mengalir dari danau ini membentuk air terjun yang sangat indah, mengalir melewati jurang yang curam. Di Segara Anak banyak terdapat ikan mas dan mujair sehingga sering digunakan untuk memancing. Dengan warna airnya yang membiru, danau ini bagaikan anak lautan, karena itulah disebut "Segara Anak". Bagian selatan danau ini disebut dengan Segara Endut. Di sisi timur kaldera terdapat Gunung Baru (Gunung Baru Jari) yang memiliki kawah berukuran 170m×200 m dengan ketinggian 2.296 - 2376 m dpl. Gunung kecil ini terakhir meletus pada tahun 2004.

Kronologis Pendakian Gunung Rinjani 2002

Ide pendakian gunung rinjani berawal pada saat ketika ada sebagian siswa yang pernah tergabung dalam Pencinta Alam SMU 97 (PALASTU) telah berhasil melakukan perjalanannya ke Bali dengan uang seadanya pada waktu itu.

Ide Pendakian pun dicetus oleh Ipunk (Purwono), lalu mulailah penggalangan dana dari pribadi masing-masing dari hasil jual jaket, stiker, sampai menjual koran bekas. Perjalanan dimulai pada tahun 2002 saat masih duduk di kelas 2 SMU Negri 97 Jakarta ketika siswa kelas 3 sedang menghadapi EBTANAS bulan juni 2002.

Begini nih ceritanya, kalau di hitung dari peta google earth rumah saya dijakarta - puncak gunung rinjani kurang lebih 1.087,86 kilometer, ckckckck....
