[...] Tuesday, May 15th, 2007 in Crisis and issues management, environment, blogging, Indonesia Oh ye of doubt and little faith! You did laugh when Unspun, raving like Zarathustra come down from his cave, did rant on about Richard Ness gunning for the people who put him through hell in the Buyat Bay case.Now it has come to pass. The Revealations according to Eric, who was begot by Rick, testifies that Unspun, after all, had power of prophesy and did peer into the future here. [...]

Walhi has too much on its hand to handle to event think about PR problems arising out of Eric’s comment. Focus is key, but I’m not even sure Walhi is focusing on more important issues than Eric.

anymatters: not incorrect in that Eric may have indirectly used Unspun for his PR. Unspun likes to help underdogs.

It is a source of continued amazement that the son of a man who works for a goldmine with so much money to throw about to retain PR experts, lawyers and sundry other consultants , is actually an underdog where publicity is concerned. What are the rest of them doing and what do they have to show for it?

Go for it Eric! But, does he think it’s better to forget about it and start finding a smart Minahasan lady as a partner?
Historically, it was a common thing to have a good on-going relationship between the Europeans and Minahasans, as giving advantage for both parties. Reviewing his capacity, why not? He’s been there and loves the place, meaning he also likes the people. Aye, Ric?
Eric has indirectly used the Unspun as his PR, hasn’t he? Cos this is the only place to comment on Buyat.

This is indeed interesting and I wonder what Eric can achieve from this effort (no offense meant, Eric) apart from further exoneration. Getting personal in this case may prove a point, even if it is pure academic. But I am sure Eric does not intend for this exercise to be one.

As for Wahli and Jatam, the NGOs and Eric appear to be operating on different frequencies.

But I am not one to pour cold water on any effort seeking justice and redress. Let’s see how innovative Eric will be in his crusade.
