Commemorating The Independence Day

" We aren't ever free yet "

          Next month we will commemorate Our national Day Of Independence. 67 years we've been free from colonialism. The moment we commemorate annually brings us to the very basic meaning of independence; "Freedom " is free from any life pressure ideologically, politically, economically, socially and culturally. But this seems  to be not yet or even still far far in the dreaming world and unreachable. Freedom was just the moment right when we declared it on August 17, 1945  at 10 am at Pegangsaan Timur 56 Jakarta. And It was just a politically freedom from colonialist.

         

          The following years after the declaration, of course we had to face many problems as a new country. Political conflict and movement of separation frequently took place and spent much energy. . The continual of cabinet reformation brought about no chance to build the  country.Our economy was getting worst, and poverty and hunger spread everywhere This instability condition came to the peak when the communist party  tried to perform rebellion.

          Soeharto took over the goverment's control after getting a letter of instruction March 11th which was  rumourly said tobe unbloody coup de tat. His first step was to forbid the Communist party and deminish  people who were involved in the rebellion of Indonesia Communist Party. Since beginning ,Soeharto declared a slogan " Politic No, Economy Yes". Freedom of Speak was robbed, no one was allowed to criticize the government. Doing so they might be jailed because of being considered to undermine the government's power. Only three political parties were allowed to exist and the five- year election was just a play to legitimate his power . Since the result was predictable to win his party. Indeed the economic building was quite successful and we could reach The self stand on food. He was bestowed The Chief of Indonesian Building. But the lost of the right of freedom of speaking  actually created a time bomb that was burst into flame when the uncontrolled inflation of price of things and devaluation of rupiah was unsolved. He was to retreat from  his 32 years of power.

          The falling down of Soeharto regime was starting the reformation from one president to another that were noted three presiodents : Habibie, Gus Dur, Megawati and Now SBY. Although people have got back their freedom of speaking, they haven't got any significant change in economy. Five Basic needs; food, clothes, shelter, heallth and education havent yet been filled. Moreover in this SBY era, poverty and unjustice cant ever be  overcome and even become worst. On the other hand corruption of the elites and their life style are very very ironic to the whole people condition. They seem to pay no attention to this. 

           In the opening of Institution of 1945 in paragraph 4, the national goal are written ,  some of which are to protect people and the land,  to advance the general  welfare, and to increase people education,;and  in fact none of them are coming true at least up to now.  The unfortunate people  are still in poverty and powerless to change their life. The life quality will always be like it for health  and education cost  are out of their reach. Adequate Jobs are rare as a result their income is also uncertain., life is hard for them......Then what is the meaning of  67 -year independence. What do you think ?

SBY Presiden RI yang Membuka Gerbang Keemasan Bangsa. ?: Menilik RAMALAN 7 SATRIO PININGIT RONGGOWARSITO

Dipaparkan ada tujuh satrio piningit yang akan muncul sebagai tokoh yang dikemudian hari akan memerintah atau memimpin wilayah seluas wilayah “bekas” kerajaan Majapahit , yaitu : Satrio Kinunjoro Murwo Kuncoro, Satrio Mukti Wibowo Kesandung Kesampar, Satrio Jinumput Sumelo Atur, Satrio Lelono Topo Ngrame, Satrio Piningit Hamong Tuwuh, Satrio Boyong Pambukaning Gapuro, Satrio Pinandito Sinisihan Wahyu.
Berkenaan dengan itu, banyak kalangan yang kemudian mencoba menafsirkan ke-tujuh Satrio Piningit itu adalah sebagai berikut :

1. SATRIO KINUNJORO MURWO KUNCORO. Tokoh pemimpin yang akrab dengan penjara (Kinunjoro), yang akan membebaskan bangsa ini dari belenggu keterpenjaraan dan akan kemudian menjadi tokoh pemimpin yang sangat tersohor diseluruh jagad (Murwo Kuncoro). Tokoh yang dimaksud ini ditafsirkan sebagai Soekarno, Proklamator dan Presiden Pertama Republik Indonesia yang juga Pemimpin Besar Revolusi dan pemimpin Rezim Orde Lama. Berkuasa tahun 1945-1967.

2. SATRIO MUKTI WIBOWO KESANDUNG KESAMPAR. Tokoh pemimpin yang berharta dunia (Mukti) juga berwibawa/ditakuti (Wibowo), namun akan mengalami suatu keadaan selalu dipersalahkan, serba buruk dan juga selalu dikaitkan dengan segala keburukan / kesalahan (Kesandung Kesampar). Tokoh yang dimaksud ini ditafsirkan sebagai Soeharto, Presiden Kedua Republik Indonesia dan pemimpin Rezim Orde Baru yang ditakuti. Berkuasa tahun 1967-1998.

3. SATRIO JINUMPUT SUMELA ATUR. Tokoh pemimpin yang diangkat/terpungut (Jinumput) akan tetapi hanya dalam masa jeda atau transisi atau sekedar menyelingi saja (Sumela Atur). Tokoh yang dimaksud ini ditafsirkan sebagai BJ Habibie, Presiden Ketiga Republik Indonesia. Berkuasa tahun 1998-1999.

4. SATRIO LELONO TAPA NGRAME. Tokoh pemimpin yang suka mengembara / keliling dunia (Lelono) akan tetapi dia juga seseorang yang mempunyai tingkat kejiwaan Religius yang cukup / Rohaniawan (Tapa Ngrame). Tokoh yang dimaksud ini ditafsirkan sebagai KH. Abdurrahman Wahid, Presiden Keempat Republik Indonesia. Berkuasa tahun 1999-2000.

5. SATRIO PININGIT HAMONG TUWUH. Tokoh pemimpin yang muncul membawa kharisma keturunan dari moyangnya (Hamong Tuwuh). Tokoh yang dimaksud ini ditafsirkan sebagai Megawati Soekarnoputri, Presiden Kelima Republik Indonesia. Berkuasa tahun 2000-2004.

6. SATRIO BOYONG PAMBUKANING GAPURO. Tokoh pemimpin yang berpindah tempat (Boyong) dan akan menjadi peletak dasar sebagai pembuka gerbang menuju tercapainya zaman keemasan (Pambukaning Gapuro). Banyak pihak yang menyakini tafsir dari tokoh yang dimaksud ini adalah Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. Ia akan selamat memimpin bangsa ini dengan baik manakala mau dan mampu mensinergikan dengan kekuatan Sang Satria Piningit atau setidaknya dengan seorang spiritualis sejati satria piningit yang hanya memikirkan kemaslahatan bagi seluruh rakyat Indonesia sehingga gerbang mercusuar dunia akan mulai terkuak. Mengandalkan para birokrat dan teknokrat saja tak akan mampu menyelenggarakan pemerintahan dengan baik. Ancaman bencana alam, disintegrasi bangsa dan anarkhisme seiring prahara yang terus terjadi akan memandulkan kebijakan yang diambil.

7. SATRIO PINANDITO SINISIHAN WAHYU. Tokoh pemimpin yang amat sangat Religius sampai-sampai digambarkan bagaikan seorang Resi Begawan (Pinandito) dan akan senantiasa bertindak atas dasar hukum / petunjuk Allah SWT (Sinisihan Wahyu). Dengan selalu bersandar hanya kepada Allah SWT, Insya Allah, bangsa ini akan mencapai zaman keemasan yang sejati.

Dari paparan di atas bisa dipahami bahwa saat ini kita berada di fase yang ke enam yaitu Satrio Boyong Pambukaning Gapura.Tapi sayangnya adalah fakta yang ada berbicara lain. Pemerintahan SBY memiliki prestasi yang sangat jelek akhir - akhir ini; muli dari Skandal Bank Centuri, Kasus kasus pemilu, Mafia Pajak- Gayus Tambunan, Suap Pemilihan Deputi Gubernur BI yang menyeret anggota DPR dari PKS Nurbaiti, dan Pemalsuan Surat MK serta yang sedang ramai jadi berita adalah Kasus percobaan suap toleh bendahara Partai Demokrat Nazaruddin terhadap sekjen MK, Jenadri. Semua kasus tersebut tidak terselesaikan.
  
Kekecewaan masyarakat nampaknya makin besar terhadap pemerintah SBY, hal ini dapat terlihat dari hasil survey dari LSI baru - baru ini yang menunjukkan popularitas SBY menurun tajam di bawah batas psikologis 50%. SBY sebagai presiden tidak punya ketegasan alam kasus tersebut.. Tidak ada  sikap yang jelas.  Benar kiranya apa yang disampaikan secara berani oleh Pong Harjatmo, artis senior kita pada talk show pagi di Metro TV 5 Juli kemarin. Ia bilang SBY badan doang yang gede, nyali kecil.ada apa ?
Dari deiskripsi di atas jelas bukan SBY yang jadi nubuatan Ranggowarsito tsb. Lantas siapa !?
