Subud and “The Octopus” of the Deep State

In this post I want to focus on the Subud cult, a bizarre little religious group that originated from Indonesia in the 1920s. According to Wikipedia , Subud has about 10,000 members worldwide, and began as a “spiritual movement” that was the brainchild of Muhammad Subuh Sumohadiwidjojo, an Indonesian “spiritual guru” also known as “Bapak.” Supposedly, the whole basis of the Subud “movement” Bapak created, was “.. a spiritual practice called latihan kejiwaan, which was said by “Bapak” to represent guidance from “the Power of God” or “the Great Life Force.”” Whatever the real practices of this group might be, according to Wikipedia, the Subud group is small, but appears highly structured and to have a global presence, with members in 83 countries.

What got me really started on looking Subud, was a book by independent investigator Wayne Madsen. Madsen is a former Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) and NSA intelligence analyst. He wrote a book called “The Manufacturing of a President: The CIA’s insertion of Barack Obama, JR. into the White House.” In the book, Madsen goes into a ton of detail about Barack Obama, and the Obama family’s, deep deep connections to the intelligence world. In particular, Madsen looks at Obama’s whole family’s strong ties to the CIA, and to elite foundations like the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations, and the elite families behind the foundation world and intelligence world (quite often “overlapping worlds,” so to speak.)

In particular, Madsen researched the Subud cult. Madsen says that Subud “…became popular in Indonesia and internationally following World War II, [and] attracted as adherents a few Western intelligence operatives assigned to Indonesia.” According to Madsen, Barack Obama’s own mother Ann Dunham, had a number of connections to the Subud group, while she herself was in Indonesia working for the Ford Foundation in the 1970s and 80s. As Madsen documents, during this period, Ann Dunham was quite possibly involved in covert operations on behalf of the CIA, with her work for the foundation serving as a cover. As Madsen states:

“Ann [Dunham] maintained close connections with [Subud]. Ann first encountered Subud members while working for the Institute for Management and Education and Development, while under a grant from the Ford Foundation, in 1971. She hired members of Subud […] to teach intensive courses in business English. Given her residence in Semarang [Indonesia], Bapak’s hometown and base, from 1978 to 1980, it is inconceivable that Ann was unaware of Bapak and his movement.”

What little is known about Subud, understandably seems to be focused on Obama and his family’s ties to the group. To be clear, Madsen documents a number of significant connections between the Obama’s and Subud that are worth looking into, but Madsen also basically says he is unable to prove, one way or the other, if Ann Dunham or any other of the Obamas were themselves members of Subud, despite the significant personal connections they had to the group. I definitely recommend Madsen’s “The Manufacturing of a President”, if you are looking for more info in this area.

However, for the purpose of a Pizzagate post, I want to focus this piece on looking specifically at Subud’s connections to the extremely dark world of child sex trafficking, ritual abuse, and covert mind control operations run by the elites directing “our” Intelligence Agencies and Military-Industrial Establishment.

Subud and the Intelligence World

As Madsen said, Subud started attracting as members some Western intelligence operatives after WWII, but the group’s connections to the intelligence world appear to run much deeper. As Madsen also states, “Bapak and his Subud followers were also well-entrenched at the East-West Center at the University of Hawaii, where Ann [Dunham, Barack’s mother] met her Kenyan and Indonesian husbands.”

It’s very interesting to hear that Subud was apparently “well-entrenched” at the East -West Center of the University of Hawaii ? (does this mean a lot of faculty, students, or both were Subud members?). The East-West Center is a large and well-established academic program at the University of Hawaii, located on a 21-acre campus next to the University of Hawaii campus. It was founded by Congress in 1960, and according to the East-West Center website , its mission is to promote “… better relations and understanding among the people and nations of the United States, Asia, and the Pacific through cooperative study, research, and dialogue.”

Considering the Subud group’s allegedly large presence at this “East-Center Center” academic program, I should point out that CIA researcher Doug Valentine specifically documents The East-West Center as acting, at least in part, as a front for CIA covert operations, in his 2017 book “The CIA as Organized Crime.” (Please also see my previous post about Doug Valentine’s research and its relevance to the “Franklin Scandal” child abuse and trafficking scandal in the 80s.)

In “The CIA as Organized Crime,” Doug Valentine talks about Frank Scotton, a CIA operative who was recruited and trained by the CIA and was sent on assassination missions in the jungles of Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos during the Vietnam War. When Valentine talked to Frank Scotton, Scotton told him directly that the East-West Center functioned as a front for CIA activities . As Valentine writes:

Scotton did, however, acknowledge the CIA-sponsored East-West Center’s espionage function. “It was a cover for a training program in which Southeast Asians were brought to Hawaii and trained to go back to Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos to create agent nets,” [Frank Scotton] said.

Doug Valentines’ information makes you seriously wonder what Subud member’s role may have been in all of this. Were Subud members amongst the students at the East-West Center who were recruited by the CIA and sent back to Southeast Asia as CIA-sponsored espionage agents? These connections suggest that Subud members themselves may have been directly involved in CIA covert operations.

Wayne Madsen points out more evidence that suggests that Subud may have functioned as a front for CIA-sponsored covert operations for quite some time. In the 1960s, the President of Indonesia was Sukarno. Sukarno was a left-leaning leader who was accused by the West of being allied with the communists, and in the late 1960s he was overthrown in a CIA-supported coup that brought the Western-backed dictator Suharto to power. Estimates are that between half a million and a million Communist party members were killed in Indonesia, as part of the extremely violent, CIA-supported coup.

Sukarno’s top ally, his foreign minister Dr. Subandrio, very publicly distrusted the Subud group, banning them from public meetings. The Communist Party of Indonesia (PKI), accused Subud as being a CIA front. As Madsen writes, Subud founder “…. Bapak issued orders to his non-Indonesian members to leave the country before the coup and told foreign members abroad not to enter the country. When Suharto ousted Sukarno and declared the PKI illegal, Bapak celebrated the change, proclaiming that Indonesia was free of the Communists.” In another instance, in 1959 the Prime Minister of Sri Lanka, Solomon Bandaranaike, was assassinated by a Buddhist monk. Apparently, the Sri Lankan Prime Minister was allied with the Communist Party and was against the West, obviously attracting the anger of the CIA. The Sri Lankan Prime Minister was murdered shortly after ordering Subud leader Bapak to leave the country, and as Madsen writes, many believe the CIA may have been behind his assassination.
