In the early morning hours of October 1, 1965, a group calling itself the September 30th Movement kidnapped and executed six generals of the Indonesian army, including its highest commander. The group claimed that it was attempting to preempt a coup, but it was quickly defeated as the senior surviving general, Haji Mohammad Suharto, drove the movement’s partisans out of Jakarta. Riding the crest of mass violence, Suharto blamed the Communist Party of Indonesia for masterminding the movement and used the emergency as a pretext for gradually eroding President Sukarno’s powers and installing himself as a ruler. Imprisoning and killing hundreds of thousands of alleged communists over the next year, Suharto remade the events of October 1, 1965 into the central event of modern Indonesian history and the cornerstone of his thirty-two-year dictatorship. Despite its importance as a trigger for one of the twentieth century’s worst cases of mass violence, the September 30th Movement has remained shrouded in uncertainty. Who actually masterminded it? What did they hope to achieve? Why did they fail so miserably? And what was the movement’s connection to international Cold War politics? In Pretext for Mass Murder, John Roosa draws on a wealth of new primary source material to suggest a solution to the mystery behind the movement and the enabling myth of Suharto’s repressive regime. His book is a remarkable feat of historical investigation. Finalist, Social Sciences Book Award, the International Convention of Asian Scholars

What exactly is pretexting anyway? A pretext is a carefully manipulated act to gain factual evidence that you would not otherwise be able to naturally discover. Some investigators call it a gag or a scam. The purpose of this book is to bring a wide variety of pretext ideas that work in today's working class age of internet connectivity with overall scam awareness in the general public. Used by law enforcement, investigators and other professions that need to find out things about people. "A major part of skip tracing includes some type of pretext styled to fit the target's circumstances. We just simply can't do now, in detective work, what we could do 20 or even 10 years ago on an investigation. But, there are more things that we can do than ever before." There is a little bit of truth in every lie. Pretext scenario's are used to go beyond what a typical database cannot reveal. To discover bank information, place of employment, the times when a person is home and who they live with, and even just simply where a target is living. All can be accomplished with a pretext conformed to the lifestyle of the target.
