-Caveat Lector- -----Original Message----- From: Evan Soule <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: David Crockett Williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tuesday, April 06, 1999 11:50 AM Subject: THE ECLIPSE OF FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY From: Dr. Milos Aleksic Professor at the University of Belgrade THE ECLIPSE OF FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY (HAS THE WORLD LOST DEMOCRATIC HOPE AND THE IDEAL OF HUMAN LIBERTY?) Yugosavia has suffered aggression from the most powerful military force in the world - the NATO. This military organization carries out the USA policy and creates New Totalitarian World Order. The technological Fascism, contrary to the Nazi-Fascism, differs in the lack of ideology and abuse of the polysemic term "globalization". Technology and money, together with the organized mafia, represent the base of the new way of ruling the world, whereas new weapons for mass destruction of people and material goods are the means of its realization.Yugoslavia has been experiencing great horrors these days. We are being punished just because we do not want to accept the two great forces which want to solve our problems in their own way. It was never the case in the Original Fascism. The peoples of Yugoslavia have always aspired to freedom in this country. They were not able to gain any experience in liberal-democratic governing during the fight for national freedom in the past, as well as in the first half of this century. That is why the majority of citizens hopefully accepted the national-democratic as well as the self-managing political order after World War II. We really believed that it included the rule of the majority, not the minority, as it is the case in liberal societies. The social crisis which spread in the real-socialist countries in the beginning, and then in Yugoslavia, and the necessity for the transition of the social order were also provoked by the lack of political freedoms of a single-party system. That is why a new hope aroused in the policy of liberal democracy. We had had no experience with such a type of political organization in the past. It was believed that pattern of democracy brought rights and freedom to each man. In mean time, a new concept of the New World Order appeared, without any theoretical or ideological foundations, with the policy which indicated that new military totalitarianism would appear in all spheres of human life: economy, politics, culture, information. Individuals are totally depersonalized and passive in such systems. It is a new and most difficult eclipse of mankind and their freedoms. The peoples of Yugoslavia have been experiencing this horrible and traumatic eclipse these days: they hide their children, wives and old people in basements and shelters , they are witnessing the dead and the wounded all around, they watch the destroyed houses, streets, and ruined factories. The citizens of this country keep asking themselves: which are the long-term goals of the transition on the crossroads of our development, after tragical experiences in our socitey and the world-wide process of the NATO globalization as a new form of totalitarianism. After having searched for freedom and democracy in this century, after having lost hope in the western democracy pattern, we keep asking ourselves how people could realize their freedoms in a free society, and which type of democracy which would provide the rule of majority with paying due respect to the minorities was realistically achievable. During my recent visit to Moscow, I attended rallies against the American Globalization Pattern. What I could hear there was: rise Stalin the Great, while you lived, there was enough bread, enough hope and enough freedom. Today, we have no bread, no hope and no freedom at all! Shocked by all this, I managed to contact the organizers of a rally and I asked them what this unexpected message meant. They said that those people did not want Stalin back, but what the new world order offered was much more horrible and depersonalizing than in it was then. The way of thinking which is being created by the policy and practice of the NATO threatens and warns. Are the policy makers aware of the horrifying fact? The decisions of the world masters to "discipline" Yugoslavia by killing and occupation as well as by putting us in chains, all in the name of "human rights, freedom and democracy" will not make their conquering interests come true. It is also proved by the general protest of people all over the world. Only during the last four days of unjustified terrors against an innocent nation has the wave of protesting against an "open society" and the so called "western democracy" spread all over the world. The protest rallies, as the conscience of mankind, forced the majority, or a significant minority, in the parliaments of the great powers to ask themselves with shame: what are we doing, for whom are we doing that, where does it all lead at the dawn of the new millenium? The American Government must understand that the temporary submission under which the NATO holds or wants to hold some countries is not permanent. The submitted individual or a group of people are much more decisive in claiming their right to be free as soon as an opportunity appears, and their wish and urge to revenge because they lost their dignity and became slaves is much more expressive. This kind of regularity can be seen in the fall of all empires and tyranies throughout history, as well as the fight for liberty of the people from all over the world. The way the USA and NATO behave has denounced the Charter of the United Nations, who have been helpless for a long time and forced to carry out only the interests of the USA as the "the interests of mankind". The members of the NATO inspired other countries which are not the members of this organisation to think about forming an alternative community of people which will establish a new democratic order, since the USA and NATO destroyed and antagonized the world. The great bourgeous revolution of 1789 proclaimed: "liberty, fraternity, equality". Two hundred years after that epochal event, people all over the world tried to carry out this message. However, the New World Order has eclipsed and suspended the liberty, the freedom and the equality. Are we moving back two hundred years ago searching for the postulates of the free society? While I am writing these lines, I' m reading the official order of the NATO headquarters on SKY NEWS to start the second phase of the NATO aggression against Yugoslavia, which includes killing "personnel" on the roads, in bases and vehicles from the vicinity. The commanders of death claim that there are three phases more in the process of establishing the submissive democracy in this country and her "democratization" in accepting the NATO occupation. The citizens of Yugoslavia and the democratic people all over the world desperately ask this question: is the new world order establishing the Orwell conception of the world in which no one is free, in which the society itself is not free? As enthusiasts, we still hope that this will be stopped by the liberal and democratic world, and that people will be given some hope of a more just world. Still, the conscience of each and every individual forces them to ask themselves - are the tyrants who are violating freedom walking the world today, at the end of the twentieth century?
