Mejuah-juah kerina permilis sirulo, terutama kam si enggo mereken buah
pikirenna bas soal Re: Skenario Menjajah Indonesia Oleh Bangsa Sendiri
Banyak buah pikiran yang sangat berharga jadi renungan kita, terutama kita yang
berada di perantauan ini, satu waktu kembali merenungkan langsung di kuta
kemulihenta. Tidak juga berarti bahwa kita tidak berbuat apa-apa sekarang ini,
kita bekerja, cari nafkah diperantauan, cari makan, sering sekali juga membantu
sanak saudara yang semakin menjerit hidupnya di kampung, tapi masih sempat juga
ada waktu berdiskusi (walaupun hanya diskusi) mendalami satu dua soal yang
menyinggung langsung kehidupan rakyat kita di tanah air. Tidak banyak rakyat
kita yang punya akses ke internet atau milis kita,sebagai sumber informasi atau
sumber inspirasi, tetapi ada juga tabloid off line bisa disalurkan seperti Sora
Sirulo dan tabloid-tabloid lainnya.
Empat soal (bidang) bisa sesungguhnya difokuskan (pertanian, peternakan,
perikanan, pariwisata) kata Edi Tarigan, dimana juga seperti di praktekkan
berhasil di New Zealand seperti dipostingkan dari pengalaman langsung oleh
Thama Kamikaze Ginting. Begitu juga usulnya soal naik sepeda kembali
disemarakkan, diperkuat oleh Anwar Tarigan yang mengambil contoh sudah
dipraktekkan di Yogyakarta. Soal enda kembali ke zaman lama ningku, sebab
sangana aku nai i Indonesia, kerina jelma naik sepeda, pang kita narik napas
panjang i tengah kota. Enda kerina soal arah perkembanganta ku lebe, cocok
kuakap, eh masuk ka cakap Karo . . . (ih jari-jari enda la kin rukur). Inilah
arah besar pemikiran kita yang saya rasa juga sangat cocok dan patut
diperjuangkan.
Sudah itu ’apa yang sebenarnya terjadi’ kata Carlos dalam postingnya. Carlos
mengingatkan kita dalam semua kegiatan kita tadi atau apa yang mau kita
perjuangkan tadi, juga kita harus jaga-jaga juga apa yang terjadi atau apa yang
orang lain perbuat terhadap negeri kita sering tanpa setahu kita. Tulisan
peraih Nobel Prof. Stiglitz dimana beliau mengatakan globalisasi dan
privatisasi di negara berkembang sebenarnya kounter-produktif dan cenderung
mempercepat laju kemiskinan orang-orang miskin di negara berkembang (Carlos).
Dtempat lain saya baca juga dimana Joseph E. Stiglitz pada permulaan tahun 2000
an membikin satu pertanyaan soal ekonomi Amerika:
Why did the economy seem as strong as it did?
Answer: America was living on borrowed money and borrowed time.
There had to be a day of reckoning
That day has now arrived . . .
Kemana semua Economic Hit Man model John Perkins?
Dari buku John Perkins juga bisa diteliti kembali jejak ’borrowed money’ dan
’borrowed time’ yang disebutkan pemenang hadiah Nobel economist Joseph Stiglitz
diatas.
John Perkins tulis:
"Is anyone in the U.S. innocent? Although those at the very pinnacle of the
economic pyramid gain the most, millions of us depend either directly or
indirectly on the exploitation of the LDCs (less-develope countries) for our
livelihoods. The resources and cheap labor that feed nearly all our businesses
come from places like Indonesia, and very little ever makes its way back. The
loans of foreign aid ensure that todays children and their grandchildren will
be held hostage. They will have to allow our corporations to ravage their
natural resources and will have to forego education, health, and other social
services merely to pay us back. The fact that our own companies already
received most of this money to build the plants, airports, and industrial parks
does not factor into this formula. Does the excuse that most Americans are
unaware of this constitute innocence? Uninformed and intentionally misinformed,
yes but innocent?"
Dibagian lain Perkins tulis juga:
"But I could not help wondering where all this would lead us. By the late
1980s, with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the world Communist movement,
it became apparent that deterring communism was not the goal; it was equally
obvious that the global empire, which was rooted in capitalism, would have free
reign. As Jim Garrison, president of the State of the World forum, observes:
Taken cumulatively, the integration of the world as a whole, particularly in
terms of economic globalization and the mythic qualities of ’free market’
capitalism, represents a veritable ’empire’ in its own right . . . No nation on
earth has been able to resist the compelling magnetism of globalization. Few
have been able to escape the ’structural adjustments’ and ’conditionalities’ of
the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, or the arbitrations of the
World Trade Organization, those international financial institutions that,
however inadequate, still determine what economic globalization means, what the
rules are, and who is rewarded for submission and punished for infractions.
Such is the power of globalization that within our lifetime we are likely to
see the integration, even if unevenly, of all national economies in the world
into a single global, free market system.
As I mulled over these issues, I desided it was time to write a tell-all book,
Conscience of an Economic Hit Man, but I made no attempt to keep the work
quiet. I am not the sort of writer who writes in isolation. I find it necessary
to discuss the work I am doing. I receive inspiration from other people, and I
call upon them to help me remember and put into perspective events of the past.
Enda ka lebe nake
Bujur ras mejuah-jua kita kerina
