WILMER'S COMPLAINT: DJINDJIC WARNS WASHINGTON
by Jared Israel [19 July 2001]

The threat of blackmail is the last refuge of a minor accomplice: the 
small-time crook taking the 'fall'; the expendable flunkey of Imperial Powers.

Essentially powerless, as a last resort such a person can always threaten to 
Tell All. It is not a strategy with a future.

That's what struck me, reading Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic's 
remarkable interview in last Sunday's issue of 'Der Spiegel,' the German 
magazine.

In the interview, Djindjic confirmed that he and Yugoslav President Vojislav 
Kostunica are liars. He confirmed that they are flunkies for the U.S. He 
confirmed that everything the SPS said in its statement, "We Accuse: 
Washington's Aid Promises Are A Traitorous Lie!" about the 'Donors' 
Conference and everything they said about Washington's disloyalty to its 
flunkies was true. He confirmed the accusation that we at Emperor's Clothes 
have made, that Washington wants Yugoslavia "scaled down to zero."

Why would Djindjic give such a politically explosive interview?

In the brief summary preceding the interview, 'Der Spiegel' writes that 
Djindjic feels the West is not being helpful enough, is not coming across 
with sufficient aid, and so on and so forth. None of which provides a motive 
for the extreme content of the interview. 

But at the end of this pre-interview summary, 'Der Spiegel' cuts to the quick 
with the following short comment from Mr. Djindjic: "I warn the west." 

"I WARN THE WEST!"

By confirming the truth of charges that have been made by the Socialists and 
other critics, Zoran Djindjic is sending the following message to Washington: 
"Zoran Djindjic is highly displeased with the way Washington is handling that 
most important of questions, the well-being of Zoran Djindjic; and he is not 
about to be a fall- guy for NATO." 

Why is Djindjic worried?

He and his sometime partner, Vojislav Kostunica, obeyed U.S. dictates and 
tried to push through the Federal Parliament an unconstitutional law to 
extradite Slobodan Milosevic to the Hague 'Tribunal.' When the attempt to 
pass this illegal legislation failed, Djindjic obeyed U.S. dictates and 
played the open role in kidnapping Mr. Milosevic. The kidnapping was followed 
by massive protests. 

As we have shown in 'THE TREASON OF VOJISLAV KOSTUNICA,' it is absurd to 
argue that Djindjic is guilty in the kidnapping but that Kostunica is 
innocent - yet, since the kidnapping, that is precisely what Kostunica has 
argued. 

KOSTUNICA'S APOLOGY

"Hunching over a long table, Yugoslav President Vojislav Kostunica squinted 
into the television lights, turned to his people and confessed that higher 
powers had gotten the best of him. 

"Kostunica said that others in the government had ''overruled'' his 
opposition to Slobodan Milosevic's extradition to the U.N. war crimes 
tribunal a week ago. Then, as if that wasn't humiliating enough, he was kept 
in the dark about the handover itself. Like millions of ordinary Serbs, he 
heard about it from the media." ('AP Online' July 6, 2001)

Right. Tell us another.

This 'self criticism' is an attempt to pin the blame on Djindjic. And it 
isn't only Kostunica who is trying to protect Kostunica at Djindjic's 
expense. Indicating which way the wind is blowing, virtually the entire 
Western media plus some critics and would-be critics of NATO have chimed in, 
accepting President Kostunica at his word, as if a politician's protestations 
of patriotism and innocence after the fact were proof that he actually 
opposed an attack on Mr. Milosevic, the key defender of Yugoslav sovereignty, 
but was overruled before the fact.

Not to mention, how can this genius Kostunica tell us he was 'overruled' 
regarding an event he claims not to know was going to take place? 

Has Kostunica hired speech writers who used to work for the comedy team of 
Abbot and Costello?

"Abbot: I can't find my cookies. You wouldn't happen to know their 
whereabouts, would you Costello?

"Costello: How could you accuse me of eatin' them three chocolate chip 
cookies you hid under the napkins when I didn't know they was there?"

Does Kostunica mistake us for six year old children watching Saturday 
afternoon TV? 

THERE IS NO ARGUMENT SO MORONIC BUT THE MEDIA CAN MAKE IT SEEM TRUE

Djindjic draws no comfort from the idiocy of Kostunica's self- defense for he 
knows better than anyone the monstrous power of the media, since he himself 
has been using said monster to broadcast lies to the Yugoslav people ever 
since his 'democrats' staged their March on Belgrade last Oct. 5th. He knows 
the media can fool some people into believing war is peace through dint of 
repetition; that is to say, it can dull popular perception and even convince 
some people. 

The Yugoslav people are furious about the kidnapping of Milosevic. They are 
disgusted with the reality of 'democratic' price hikes and 'pro-Western' 
layoffs. And they are in despair over NATO's continued sponsorship of 
terrorists who attack southern Serbia and Macedonia and kill non-Albanians in 
Kosovo.

It is not possible to stop ordinary people from being angry about these 
things. So Djindjic fears that by portraying Kostunica as the good 
nationalist overridden by the evil Djindjic, Washington and the Yugoslav 
media which it owns may be trying to deflect popular anger at Djindjic, 
preparatory to dumping him. Then Vojislav 'Mr. Teflon' Kostunica, who is 
fully engaged with the DOS 'authorities,' could simply take over the reigns 
as Supreme Western Puppet in Djindjic's place.

This is why Djindjic just shot the 'Der Spiegel' cannonball across NATO's 
deck. In the interview he says things he shouldn't and in so doing warns 
Washington: 'If you dump me it will cost you money - and more. There are 
plenty of damning things that I can publicly say...' 

IF YOU LOSE A SON...

In conclusion, some relevant movie trivia.

In the film noire classic, 'The Maltese Falcon,' there is a scene where the 
detective, Sam Spade, played by Humphrey Bogart, tells the head gangster, 
Kaspar Gutman, played by Sydney Greenstreet, that they need a fall-guy, a 
secondary figure to "take the rap." As all eyes turn to Wilmer Cook, Gutman's 
aggressive, loud-mouthed, bodyguard-thug, Gutman says:

"Well, Wilmer, I'm sorry indeed to lose you, but I want you to know I 
couldn't be fonder of you if you were my own son. Well, if you lose a son, 
it's possible to get another. [But] there's only one Maltese Falcon."

URGENT FUNDRAISING APPEAL - 18 JULY 2001

TO THOSE WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED, THANK YOU!

EMPEROR'S CLOTHES STILL MOST URGENTLY NEEDS HELP!

Our only source of money is people like you. All contributions help, big and 
small. 

We are now several months behind on our long distance and overseas phone 
bill. All but our local service has been turned off. 

We use long distance for interviews (if we need a translator, this involves a 
three-way call) to consult with writers, to check the accuracy of information 
and sometimes to discuss articles being translated. Using overseas calls we 
were able to stay in constant touch with the unarmed witnesses guarding Mr. 
Miloshevich's house when it was attacked March 28th and 29th. That is why you 
could read accurate news on Emperor's Clothes as it broke - the only honest 
reports available anywhere.

After the attack, by using overseas phone calls we were able to talk directly 
with people involved in the negotiations between Mr. Miloshevich and the 
current Serbian authorities. So we knew first hand that the 'NY Times' report 
that Mr. Miloshevich was suicidal during the talks was a lie. 

Because we need to use the phone so much, our bills are well over a thousand 
dollars a month. Now our long distance and international service has been 
turned off because we owe almost $5000. We are in danger of losing phone 
service altogether. In addition, we owe over $1500 to Lexis, a key research 
tool, which allows us to check the accuracy of newspaper excerpts and quotes 
over the past 20 years. 

If everyone who cares about Emperor's Clothes chips in, we'll be out of 
trouble in no time.

If everyone chips in - $20, $50, $100 or $1000 - we'll be out of danger in no 
time.
