-Caveat Lector- 3/24/01 I don't know exactly which corporate HR department has been hiring the world's elite globalist planners in recent years, but they really do need to start doing a better job. Here's why... China/Taiwan - Ready for war. Introduction of Capitalism caused massive unemployment and civil unrest. China needs a war. The Koreas - Ready for peace. Removes N. Korea as a threat. Surprise! Japan - Economic disaster. Capitalism's other face. Indonesia - Civil war brought about by " Free Trade. Papua New Guinea - Civil war. Corporate elites want the natural resources. Russia - Economic and social disaster brought on by conversion to Capitalism. Afghanistan - Social and economic disaster instigated by US vs Soviet policy. Mid-East - What can one say? Utter failure of the Globalist agenda.Stupid elites! Guatemala - Killer government. Columbia - Next big war. We are installing US bases to control the region's oil. Peru - CIA overthrow of Peru's government. Mexico - Coca-Cola President. Just what Mexico's civil war needs. Free Trade vs indigenous local economy. The locals are winning. Africa - Basket case. No relief in sight. Iraq - Splitting the New World Order. Flash point. Iran - Thinks THEY should control their oil. What nerve! Turkey - Economic disaster. Sub surface civil war. E.U. will disintegrate here. ... and my ( Joshua2 ) favorite example of Globalist stupidity... ====================================================== KOSOVO: Time to Pay the Piper 23 March 2001 http://www.stratfor.com/home/giu/archive/032301.asp#The Summary Western governments appear concerned that fighting in Macedonia will spark the Balkan tinderbox, but Macedonia can likely contain the insurgency, involving a small force of guerrillas. The real crisis brews in Kosovo. In March 1999, Washington led NATO to war on behalf of these guerrillas. Now Western governments must rein in the rebels they helped create – and face the prospect of cooperating with the Yugoslavia they once tried to bomb into submission. Analysis Rebels fighting in Macedonia and the Presevo Valley in Serbia are being directed and assisted by the separatists that fought two years ago to separate Kosovo from Yugoslavia. The rebels attacking into Macedonia call themselves the National Liberation Army (UCK) and the Liberation Army of Presevo, Medvedja and Bujanovac (UCPMB) when operating in Serbia. The situation, coming on the second anniversary of the 1999 Kosovo conflict, is a continuation of that war. The same clan structure is running the remnants of the original Kosovo Liberation Army; the commanders are veterans of the earlier war with the same connections to the drug trade that fuels the separatist movement. Western peacekeepers are now confronting their former allies. The United States faces a day of reckoning. Its troops are smack in the sector that is home to rebel activity and the choices are difficult: Crack down on the forces Washington once helped create, or find a political solution – involving Belgrade – that ends separatist ambitions for a greater Albania. The Albanian insurgents have become more aggressive, recently taking the battle into Macedonia, where up to 30 percent of the population is ethnic Albanian. The rebels claim to have 2,000 fighters, a claim that appears greatly exaggerated. The political equation in Macedonia does not favor the guerrillas. Ethnic Albanians represent a minority of the population; Macedonia’s 500,000 ethnic Albanians are represented in the parliament and their political leaders have signaled they have no common cause with the rebels.

There, the rebels at the center of the 1999 war have decided to bite the hand that feeds them – Washington's – in a desperate bid for independence. The UCK and the UCPMB appear to be assisted and coordinated by the organization that fought the Kosovo conflict, the old Kosovo Liberation Army. Recruits, weapons and training come from the old KLA in Kosovo, and leadership is composed of veterans of the Kosovo conflict. Having gone to war to defend ethnic Albanians from the Yugoslav military, the KLA was an American proxy. Its AK-47 weapons came only with the help of the United States. Unwilling to rein in what had effectively been NATO's ground force during the Kosovo war, the United States allowed the KLA to grow. Its leaders in Kosovo are motivated primarily by fear. They see Yugoslav army units operating in the buffer zone between Kosovo and Yugoslavia. They see that Washington's new administration has a harder edge to its foreign policy and little interest in Balkan entanglements. The United States: Smack in the Middle: The outcome will be determined by the action of the United States. Washington can play it safe, as it has up to now. If so, peacekeepers become peacemakers, and NATO is looking at an open-ended commitment in Kosovo. KLA remnants and local cells will continue their fight, first against Yugoslav army units operating in the buffer zone, Macedonian forces and possibly KFOR. But Washington shows no signs of wanting a war with the KLA. Washington has refused a request from NATO's North Atlantic Council March 20 to increase forces in Kosovo. U.S President George W. Bush has repeatedly indicated the Balkans do not threaten vital U.S. interests. Washington can cooperate with Belgrade, but even a political solution involves risk as the old KLA finds itself increasingly threatened. U.S. forces patrol the border areas that are the old KLA's economic lifelines. American troops are the ones who could best cut off supply lines and smuggling routes. Pressure, particularly from within European governments, is growing to solve the inconsistencies of the 1999 Kosovo war, particularly the complications of siding with the KLA. Unlikely to want another war, Washington can seek a political and diplomatic solution. The old KLA is unlikely to give up without a fight. The second option appears more realistic: to effectively side with Belgrade’s new regime and destroy ethnic Albanians' bid for a greater Albania. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
