Whether the likes of Jared Israel are interested in the crash is open to
reasonable debate. However, the destablisation of the Balkans is a direct
result of the policies pursued by the same vested economic interests
responsible for massive overconsumption and the hegemony of one superpower
and a few multinationals. The forces behind globalisation, in all its
guises, are those that seek to rekindle old ethnic hatred and impose
murderous sanctions against noncompliant governments.
More important, the truth really does the matter. The public were fed a
grotesque web of lies to justify environmentally devastating bombing.
Compared to Stalin, whose policies saw millions of avoidable deaths,
Milosevic is an angel. At worst he no worse than Izetbegovic or Tudjman. If
justice were done Clinton, Albright, Blair and Cook along with the CEOs of
the top US and UK military hardware corps and oil multinationals would go to
the Hague tribunal, the very same apologists for the economic system that
will trigger the crash and see not thousands, but hundreds of millions of
avoidable early deaths.
As it is the same UK press that headlined Gotcha whe the Royal Navy sank the
General Belgrano will revel in Milosevic's show trial, while portraying
Blair as a compassionate Christian politician concerned with welfare of
British farmers (and has just sanctioned the cull of over a million healthy
pigs, cattle and sheep).
