The U.N. sold out West Papua in 1961 under the New York Agreement. Indonesia took control under U.S. pressure. Since the, as many as half a million Papuans have paid with their lives. Who is behind this evil insanity? U.S. mining company, Freeport McMoran Gold & Copper, owns the world's largest gold mine, Grasberg, in West Papua.
