Bapak-Bapak Pimpinan Tentara dan Polisi Indonesia jangan cari kebenaran dengan cara yang curang melalui publikasi berita propaganda murahan. 

Kami Tentara Pembebasan Nasional Papua Barat sangat paham dan mengetahui bahwa cara para Pimpinan Militer dan Polisi Indonesia adalah mencari legitimasi dengan tujuan untuk salahkan kami, tetapi kami tidak sebodoh itu. Kami tahu benar tindakan militer yang paranoia, dan selalu melakukan propaganda murahan untuk provokasi public.
