The UK and US welcomed the Suharto takeover and gave him considerable support throughout his thirty-two years in power. Despite full knowledge of Suharto’s mass murder of 1965-66 the UK moved quickly to cancel its arms embargo against Indonesia. In 1975, Indonesia invaded East Timor and occupied it until 1999, at the cost of over 200,000 lives. Despite this in the following years, the UK sold Indonesia Hawk ground-attack aircraft, in 1978, 1981, 1982, and 1983.

Dr Robert Hare, a psychologist and internationally renowned expert on psychopathy ... told us that many of the attitudes people adopt and the actions they execute when acting as corporate operatives can be characterised as psychopathic. You 'try to destroy your competitors, or you want to beat them one way of another,' said Hare, 'and you're not particularly concerned with what happens to the general public as long as they're buying your product.' Yet, despite the fact that executives must often manipulate and harm others in pursuit of their corporation's objectives, Hare insists they are not psychopaths. That is because they can function outside the corporation... Businesspeople should therefore take some comfort from their ability to compartmentalise the contradictory moral demands of their corporate and noncorporate lives, for it is precisely this 'schizophrenia'... that saves them from becoming psychopaths.

"We are seeing an astonishing rise in even the rarest of abnormalities' said British trained plastic surgeon Professor Ala. "I can show you a baby born one hour ago if you are strong and not prone to fainting" said Dr. Janeen.
A nurse brought in a small bundle wrapped in cloth - sterile wrappings, baby clothing is just a memory in another formerly internationally renowned hospital. Unwrapped the tiny being, making a little bleating noises, had no eyes, no nose, a sweet little mouth, but no tongue or osophegus, no hands or genitalia. Hopelessly twisted small legs were joined together from the knees upwards by a thick 'web' of flesh. "We see many similar" commented Dr. Janeen.
