During the early 1960s then-President Sukarno declared a new state ideology of Nasakom, which stood for "Nasionalisme, Agama, dan Komunisme" (Nationalism, Religion, and Communism), which would complement the existing policy of "Pancasila". This declaration, viewed as proof of increasing Indonesian Communist Party ("Partai Komunis Indonesia", or PKI) power, led to conflict between the PKI and the military. In the midst of an escalating confrontation with Malaysia (1963–1966), Sukarno demoted General Abdul Haris Nasution, Commander of the Army, and promoted Ahmad Yani, while the PKI spread rumours that a CIA-sponsored board of generals ("Dewan Jenderal") were plotting against the government, using the Gilchrist Document as proof. Eventually, a coup on 30 September 1965, thought to have been sponsored by the PKI, killed six generals, leading to the massacre of suspected communists and the fall of Sukarno's government over the next two years.
