Join us as we meet to discuss chapters 1-4 of The Jakarta Method by Vincent Bevins and its current relevance. We only ask that you come ready to discuss the book, get to know each other, and read what you can, even if you can't finish the entire set of chapters. RSVP Here: https://www.codepink.org/nyc36 WHEN: Friday, March 06, 2026 at 9:00pm - 11:00pm (GMT-3) WHERE: Ruth, 665 Flatbush Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11225, United States Description: In 1965, the U.S. government helped the Indonesian military kill approximately one million innocent civilians. This was one of the most important turning points of the twentieth century, eliminating the largest communist party outside China and the Soviet Union and inspiring copycat terror programs in faraway countries like Brazil and Chile. But these events remain widely overlooked, precisely because the CIA's secret interventions were so successful. In this bold and comprehensive new history, Vincent Bevins builds on his incisive reporting for the Washington Post, using recently declassified documents, archival research and eye-witness testimony collected across twelve countries to reveal a shocking legacy that spans the globe. For decades, it's been believed that parts of the developing world passed peacefully into the U.S.-led capitalist system. The Jakarta Method demonstrates that the brutal extermination of unarmed leftists was a fundamental part of Washington's final triumph in the Cold War.
