Soekarno’s Gold

President Soekarno was in power for 21 years during a time when the Indonesian Republic had just begun. Soekarno was not known as a corrupter, or stole from the people. The government had nothing to steal from. If he had a reputation, it was the reputation of being a woman’s man.

However, over the years Mr. Soekarno was known as someone who had access to huge amounts of gold and platinum and other riches.

Soekarno got his gold not only from the contributions of several Javanese kings, but also from the Arabs, the Chinese in China and Taiwan, and from salvaged sunken Japanese gold shipments during WW II, among other sources. There were historical, and logical, reasons why these leaders gave a part of their gold to Soekarno. The main one was because he was the acknowledged leader and engine of the non-aligned movement. The Japanese intending to make S.E. Asia a Japanese empire, shipped huge amounts of gold bullion (some forcibly taken from mainland China) to several parts of S.E. Asia as part of their plans, but was stopped by the Allies during WW II through bombings in S.E. Asia and later the two atom bombs in Japan. This is recorded in history.

The royals did not accumulate these collaterals for hundreds of years for their own personal use, but rather for the kingdoms in which they reigned. The “will” of the royals, carried on by generations of their descendants, stated these collaterals are to be “used for the benefit of the people”.

While Mr. Soekarno has been willed a part these collaterals, they are not personally owned by him. They are owned by the people, but “lent” to him. He, or anyone else who intends to use them, is subject to this condition: he has access only if they are to be used for the welfare of the people.

Therefore, Megawati Soekarnoputri, Soekarno’s oldest daughter (or her other siblings) and present vice president of the nation, do not automatically inherit Mr. Soekarno’s collateral. She is also not wealthy, nor are her other siblings, and live modestly like other middle class members of society.

Likewise, persons who claim to be Mr. Soekarno “brother”, “half-brother”, “an unknown son”, and therefore claim rights to these assets, and there are many of them, are only attempts to defraud people who are sponsoring their efforts to liquidate these assets.

The 113 different banks who keep these assets know exactly who are entitled to these assets, who can use them to create bank instruments, and who can liquidate them. Persons who have rights to collaterals are periodically advised in writing the status of their collateral by the banks managing them, no different than a bank which advises their $10,000 depositor of the status of their deposits. If persons who claim to have rights do not have these periodic reports, it can be assumed they have no rights to these assets

*Hank Beachell quickly learned the rich history of rice in the Americas. He was intrigued by the story of Carolina Gold, the first rice variety to be commercially grown in what is now the United States. A small bag of rice seeds was brought into the Carolinas in the late 1600s on a ship from Madagascar, Beachell says. From it, Carolina Gold was selected. The golden fields of rice gave the Gold Coast of South Carolina and Georgia its name. (Dr. Henry M. "Hank" Beachell, together with Dr. Gurdev Khush, won the World Food Prize-the equivalent of a Nobel Prize for Agriculture--in 1996. The Legacy of Hank Beachell: Part III, Indonesia, RiceTec. Beachell spent 10 years in Indonesia developing rice)
