Kosovo: The Fraudulent "Genocide" Responding to findings by forensic
experts that the casualty count for the civil war in Kosovo was less
than 3000, "NATO officials conceded ... that their wartime estimates of
the number of Kosovo Albanian civilians massacred by Serb forces might
have been too high," reported the August 18th edition of The Guardian of
London. This is a museum-quality specimen of British understatement,
given that NATO spokesmen, and their eager media accomplices, had
conditioned the public to believe that a second Holocaust [sic] was
underway in Kosovo.
During the first eight months of 2000, pathologists hired by the UN's
International Tribunal for Yugoslavia have exhumed 680 corpses from 150
sites; last year, following the end of NATO's [criminal & cowardly]
bombing of Yugoslavia, researchers had found the remains of another
2,108 casualties. "The final number of bodies uncovered will be less
than 10,000 and probably more accurately determined as between two and
three thousand," explained Tribunal spokesman Paul Risley.
"During the NATO airstrikes ... NATO officials talked of 100,000 missing
men and said at least 10,000 had been killed," recounts The Guardian.
During the air campaign, U.S. Secretary of Defense William Cohen recited
the estimate that 100,000 Kosovo Albanian men were missing and declared:
"They may have been murdered." NATO spokesman Mark Laity, trying to
rescue some scrap of credibility on behalf of the alliance, insisted
that "NATO never said the missing were all dead. The figure we stood by
was 10,000. If it's wrong, I'm prepared to put up with a little bit of
egg on our face if thousands are alive who were thought to be killed."
But the point is that the NATO bombing killed as many as 2000 Serb
civilians who would otherwise be alive -- not to mention the fact that
some of the Kosovo Albanian casualties might well be the victims of
NATO's bombs, or of the so-called Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), NATO's
narco-terrorist allies.
"The point is, did we successfully pre-empt or not?" continued Laity.

Editorial Comment
As a tragi-comic aside on the kind of duplicitous shenanigans that went
on in Kosovo, TGR video-taped a news story aired -- to the best of our
knowledge -- only on Greek TV during the Serbian "War" fiasco. It was
all about Hillary Clinton who wanted to have a photo-op of her visiting
the poor, "oppressed Albanian victims of Serb atrocities" (so as to be
able to claim "foreign policy experience" in the future, no doubt), and
so she was duly flown over to Kosovo in regal comfort (at taxpayer
expense, and illegally to our mind since she held no elected position at
the time). She was then taken in an air-conditioned (it was summer time)
S.U.V. to a "typical" Albanian village where she would speak to the
"innocent victims of Serbian aggression." Our video shows her 2 to 3
minute encounter with the destitute natives who clustered "voluntarily"
around her as she alighted gingerly from the inner- sanctum safety of
her well-guarded vehicle. At this point we must beg the viewer to pay
strict attention to the pronouncement of this mental midget who would be
the president of the world's most powerful nation. As she stood close-by
the door of the S.U.V. (she looked as if she were hating every moment of
having to be surrounded by such "riff-raff"), and as her detail of
military personnel spread out among the "spontaneous crowd," what do you
think this self-deluded, female reincarnation (in her mind only) of
Talleyrand, Churchill, and Bismarck all rolled into one, had to say to
comfort the dirt-poor denizens of a country where the average per-capita
income was -- at that time -- $12.00 per month? Here it is, in all of
its glory, word for word: Have any of you seen Schindler's List? [!!!!]
Yes, dear reader, "Have any of you seen Schindler's List?," to a group
of rag-tag, barefoot, half-starved itinerant wanderers (uprooted from
their villages by the incessant NATO bombings and strafings), in a land
with practically no trees because most had been cut down for firewood.
She then launched into a diatribe about what a monster Slobodan
Milosevic is and compared him to Hitler, assuring the crowd that NATO
and America would not let them suffer the fate of the victims of Nazi
Germany. The Albanians -- who could not understand a word of what she
was saying -- kept milling about smiling dutifully for the cameras and
waiting impatiently for the charade to end so that they could be given
whatever they'd been promised for showing up. No doubt, they all rushed
to their nearest cinema afterwards to see Schindler's List, and will
always be grateful for the advice "the world's smartest woman" gave
them. How wonderful is the "democratic process" that gives America such
"leadership" as this. The truth is, that this is what you get when the
citizenry is purposely dumbed down and is then encouraged to vote. What
a shame for us all that "the last great hope for mankind" has sunk so
low as to have such an idiot as this woman hold power.

Osama's Balkan Buddies. Documents and other materials found in abandoned
al-Qaeda training camps around Jalalabad, Afghanistan, connect terror
chieftain Osama bin Laden to radical Muslim guerrillas in Bosnia and
Kosovo -- provinces of the former Yugoslavia that are now United Nations
protectorates.
"The evidence shows that recruits at bin Laden's two main camps ... were
trained in conventional, biological and even nuclear warfare, according
to class manuals," reported USA Today for November 27th."They came from
at least 21 countries, including Bosnia, Egypt, France, Great Britain,
Jordan, Kuwait, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and other U.S. allies [!!],
enrollment records show."
A note left behind by Damir Bajrami, a 24-year-old Albanian recruit from
Kosovo, illustrates how at least some of the radical Muslim guerrillas
who benefited from U.S. assistance during the 1990s intend to repay
their benefactors: "I am interested in suicide operations. I have Kosovo
Liberation Army combat experience against Serb ... forces. I need no
further training. I recommend [suicide] operations against [amusement]
parks like Disney." Source The New American. Vol. 17, No. 27 p.6.
Editorial Comment
According to the Albanian newspaper Republica -- cited by professor of
Sociology and Turkish History at Pantion University in Athens, Neoclese
Sarris [Oct.'01] --, Osama Bin Ladin "has an Albanian passport, is a
majority stockholder and founder of the Arab-Albanian Bank located in
the central square of Tirana, and has agents and fighters throughout
Albania." These agents "managed to wire the basement of the U.S. Embassy
in Tirana, and were instrumental in carrying out Bin Ladin's program of
recruiting young Albanians (mostly orphans) for his terrorist training
camps, who, at a certain stage in their training, would be sent on for
further instruction in Islamic law and religion in Saudi Arabia." The
recruiting methods employed included the "setting up of soup kitchens
and providing medical supplies, all in the name of Bin Ladin, who was
cast in the role of the 'benevolent Arab.'" To add weight to these
assertions, along comes the former Minister of the Exterior for the
former Yugoslavia, Jovanovitch, who said on Greek TV (Oct. '01) that
"Even the birds in the trees know that Bin Ladin was involved with the
terrorist KLA [Kosovo Liberation Army]." Is it any wonder then that
Taliband and other Muslim fundamentalists have stated that "the only
safe place for us is in the Balkans."
Thank you, comrade Simitis, and all your Marxist crew. Thank you for
doing exactly what your bosses in Brussels and Washington have ordered
you to do: Open the borders and let in the hordes of Albanians,
Pakistanis, Africans, and other "economic refugees," so that the former
98% Greek-Orthodox population could be watered down and the new "Greeks"
cunningly manipulated to agitate for their "rights," thereby bringing
Greece into the same subservient position as other nations who've fallen
for the "melting pot" myth. "Divide and conquer" is as old as time, and
is currently being used to displace the old WASP/Christian power
structure in the U.S., but was a difficult weapon for foreigners to use
against the old homogeneous Hellas, and so it had to go. (Read the
introduction to "Old and New America" before linking to article on this
point. Also read the introduction to "The Officially Sanctioned Invasion
of Greece" under "Useful Idiots" Update ( 4) before linking to article.)
It might be interesting to reflect upon the words of General Wesley
Clark, of Serbian "War" fame, who said in April of '99:
"There is no place in Modern Europe for ethnically pure states.
That's a 19th century idea, and we are trying to transition into
the 21st century, we are going to do
it with multi-ethnic states."
And in that same month, after over 40 days of NATO air strikes against
Serbia, "former" Marxist student-agitator, Xavier Solana, who was then
NATO's General Secretary, when asked by a reporter if it was permissible
to violate a nation's sovereignty in order to protect human rights,
answered:
"I think you are all going to see that human rights will play a
more important role than any nation's sovereignty in the future."
Which position is right in line with the thinking of his ideological
mentor, Vladimir Lenin, who declared:
"The interests of Socialism are above the interest
of the right of nations to self-determination."
So that, our sold-out, lickspittle politicians, in order to keep their
sordid little positions, and please their elitist bosses, are willing to
pollute the racial purity of Greece. And the only difference between the
"Left" and the "Right" in Greece on this point is that the former does
it willingly because it coincides with its own ideology, and the latter
does it unwillingly, because it has to in order to maintain a seat at
the table of power in the New World Order.
As a closing aside: You haven't lived till you've had a coal-black
Nigerian stare you in the face and declare, "kai ego eimai ellinas!"
(For history buffs, it may be amusing to replace the words "ethnically
pure states" with the word "Paganism," "19th century" with "9th
century," "21st century with "11th century," and "multi-ethnic states"
with "Christianity." in General Wesley Clark's quote above.)

Ambassador to Greece, Thomas Miller, who was, until recently, the United
States ambassador to Bosnia, is rumored to have conspired [in 2000] with
Milorad Dodik, then prime minister of the Bosnian-Serb Republic, to
divert $500,000 of an American aid package to the Gore/Lieberman
campaign. This claim, made privately by a former minister in Dodik's
government, has been confirmed by another highly placed source in Banja
Luka, the capital of the Republika Srpska (RS).
The alleged deal was simple: in July [2000], Ambassador Miller is said
to have arranged a multimillion-dollar ASAID grant for the RS budget.
Once the money arrived in Banja Luka, half a million was allocated to
the prime minister's "discretionary fund" -- over which he had exclusive
control -- and promptly sent back to the United States as his
contribution to the Gore/Lieberman campaign. This was not the only
payment to a Western political figure from the fund (the existence of
which Dodik admitted in a television interview last November), but it
was the largest single disbursement....The partial disclosure of the
Gore deal [was] published by the Banja Luka magazine Extra in February
of 2000, [and] it looked like the cat was out of the bag. Interestingly,
there has been no follow-up. Source. Chronicles. Aug.2001. p.6
Editorial Comment
A worse choice for ambassador to Greece than this man -- whose
antipathy towards Hellas is equaled only by that of comrade Simitis' --
could not have been made. A prot�g� of Richard Holbrooke, his "chutzpah"
is on a par with his erstwhile boss, Madeleine Albright's, who, along
with Holbrooke, have a lot more in common with him than just being
intrusive and arrogant U.S. political hacks. Rumor has it that
Simitescu was vehemently opposed to a Greek-American for the job (they
have, it seems, unwanted sentimental attachments towards Greece). A
non-Greek was allegedly requested, but why would Bush pick a
Hellene-hating Clinton left-over like Miller? Could it be because Miller
did such a great job, when, as the head of the U.S. consulate in
Thessaloniki, he or his flunkies made frequent trips into the villages
of Thrace and Macedonia seeking "oppressed" slavo-"Macedonians" and
other (non-existent) minorities?
It seems that Miller was most anxious to get posted back to Greece,
because, according to Secretary of State, Colin Powell, "He was chasing
me around from place to place, until I finally had to say 'I know, I
know, Tom, I'm going to give you Greece.'" Prof. Neoclese Sarris,
Greece's foremost expert on Turkey and Islam, said that "Simitis wanted
Miller because they believe in the same ideology."

Meanwhile, all the Oprah Winfrey watchers, six-pack imbibers, Disneyland
enthusiasts, and Bible or Koran thumpers continue dancing to the tune of
the malevolent minority of corporate, political, and "messianic" thugs
who perpetrate these kinds of obscenities in the name of "democracy,"
"human rights," or "Allah." It's not their sons, however, who will
suffer the dire and deadly consequences of their "Keystone Kops" foreign
policy madness or religious fanaticism. It is no small thing to be asked
to die for a ''bottom line," or for some madman's interpretation of one
or another "Holy Book."
As far as we Hellenes are concerned, we are being punished by the
corporate and political elite in the U.S. for daring to question the
"Bejing party line" emanating from America's media whores and her venal
politicians and policy makers. For daring to show the world -- via Greek
TV and in print -- what was really going on in Yugoslavia during that
cowardly fiasco misnamed the "Serbian War." That's why the State
Department "advisories" about how "unsafe" Greece is for tourists, how
"insecure" Athens airport is, and what an insurmountable task it will
most likely be for Greece to provide adequate security for the 2004
Olympics keep pouring forth. But who is there to tell the truth to the
Americans? Simitescu? comrade "Georgaki" Papandreou? These two do ka-ka
in their pants when in the presence of even 3rd level U.S. bureaucrats,
let alone top-level policy makers and politicians.
Great minds from Thucydides to George Washington have warned against the
dangers of foreign meddling and hegemonic delusions of empire. Unless
and until we heed their warnings we can all look forward to more
butchery and bloodshed. Of course, those being butchered and shedding
their blood will be filled with the appropriate amount of vitriolic
hatred against whatever enemy happens to be standing in the way of the
malevolent machinations of the "movers and shakers" out to make a buck
or stay in office at the time.
And let us not forget the round of applause that greeted Hillary (who
was once described as the "co-president" by her husband) by our
"'Greek'-American brothers and sisters," who, while clapping and
smiling, actually stood up as a sign of respect as this vile and
deceptive culture-destroyer walked down the aisle of New York's Holy
Trinity Cathedral on the 18th of September 1999, during Archbishop
Demetrios' enthronement ceremony. There was not even one single protest
voiced in that enormous crowd of "official Greeks" directed at the woman
whose partner was responsible for bombing Eastern Orthodox Christian
Churches in Serbia DURING HOLY WEEK AND EVEN ON EASTER DAY WITH DEPLETED
URANIUM WARHEADS!! This after her partner-in-crime turned a deaf ear to
the many pleas by Orthodox and other Christian leaders to stop the
cowardly bombing during that most holy of all of our holy observances.
(There were, however, no bombs dropped on Afghanistan during Ramadan
after Sept. 11th, and Clinton refused to speak at a General Assembly
meeting of the U.N. "out of respect" for the Jews whose Yom Kippur
holiday began on the day he was scheduled to speak.)
But wasn't it Nero, who, as Tacitus tells us, used to keep a gaggle of
"Greek philosophers" handy because he loved the way they bowed, scraped,
drooled, and defecated all over themselves whenever he would favor them
with his illustrious presence?

"TSAMOURIA" is, according to the nationalist Albanian "Tsamithes," the
name of the area which extends from the southern border of Albania to
the Greek city of Ioannina. These Turk-supported Albanian "patriots"
want this area annexed to Albania, and have been agitating and
demonstrating in various cities and towns in Epirus of late. In
Ioannina, during the summer of '01, the demonstrations got so bad that
blood was spilled and property damage amounting to many millions of
drachmas occurred. On June 24th of '01, the demonstrations were
particularly violent because this date has been declared (�kouson,
�kouson)
"Remembrance Day" for the "Tsamithes" who were "wiped out" in the
"genocide perpetrated against them by the blood-thirsty Greeks" during
the closing days of WWII. They are now agitating the European Union for
reparations and the return of their "illegally confiscated" properties.
For those interested in what really happened, these so-called
"Tsamithes" (the word comes from the ancient name of the river Theamis
(today's Kalam�) which flows through the area of Epirus formerly
resident to many Albanian Muslims: Theamis > Theamithes > Ts�mithes)
collaborated with the Nazis during the 2nd World War. When the German
occupiers left Greece in 1944, about 20,000 of these Albanian traitors
-- who had joyfully participated in the slaughter and imprisonment of
their former "fellow villagers" and "compatriots" -- voluntarily left
with them. Those still alive and the descendants of those who aren't are
now claiming that many of these Nazi-collaborators never left but were
annihilated by the Greeks, and are demanding reparations. As enemies of
Greece, their properties were properly confiscated by the State, but
now, with the trendy airhead and "lover of humanity," "Georgaki"
Papandreou in office as Minister of the Exterior, these connivers see an
opportunity to exert Jesse-Jackson-type extortion tactics on the
"kakasots" who run Greece, because they know that all you have to do to
make points nowadays is scream "racism" and "genocide" and you, too, can
get in on the "diversity" gravy train.
Speaking of that inimitable "Greek"
statesman-who-keeps-an-American-passport-in-his-pocket (just in case),
"Georgaki" Papandreou, guess, dear viewer, what he was doing on the
above-mentioned "Remembrance Day," when Albanian agitators were
illegally demonstrating in Greek cities: Why, he was planting an "olive
tree of peace" in Kusadasi, Turkey, with his good "friend" and Turkish
counterpart, Ismael Tzem. He later displayed his total unsuitability for
the job his name and his friends in Washington bestowed upon him by
dancing a zeimbekiko like a clown, while Tzem and his Turk cronies kept
time by clapping and (no doubt) laughing up their sleeves.
Turkey, meanwhile, is actively supporting the U. C. C. ("Tsamouthia"
Liberation Army) while "Georgaki" is planting trees of "peace." Turkey
helps the U .C. C. and the U. C. K (Kossovo Liberation Army) launder the
money they make from their illicit arms and dope sales: money which is
being used against Greece, and "Georgaki" dances for them. Turkey now
has two active naval bases leased from Albania and is currently
negotiating (Fall of '01) for a third. This means that Greece is totally
surrounded by states that are predominately Muslim, and Turkey now has
Greece in a pincer-like squeeze from the east and the west, and
"Georgaki" voluntarily asks to be taken to Mustafa Kemal Attaturk's tomb
in Ankara so that he can lay a wreath in honor of the genocidal
murderer. Turkish and Israeli pilots engage in joint exercises in the
Southern Aegean, while Israel enters into an agreement to upgrade the
warplanes of their Turkish "allies," and Minister of Culture, Evangelos
Venizelos (another ruthlessly ambitious "comrade"), tells a Jewish
gathering in Thessaloniki: "This city belongs to you."
One can now begin to understand Pericles' frustration when he said to
his fellow Athenians, just before the start of the Peloponnesian War: "I
am not so much afraid of our enemy [Sparta] as I am of the mistakes we
will make." Ach Ellatha me ta megalia sou!

Milosevic in a kangaroo court.
by Charley Reese
Slobodan Milosevic, the former president of Yugoslavia, is now on trial
before a kangaroo court in the Hague. He hasn't got a ghost of a chance
of seeing even the shadow of justice.
He might well be guilty of crimes, but if he is, they were crimes
committed in his own country. The courts should try him in his own
country. This so-called International Tribunal set up by the United
Nations has no legitimate authority. The United Nations charter does not
give the Security Council the authority to judge individuals charged
with crimes, and you can't legitimately delegate authority you don't
have.
Milosevic is charged with genocide. What group of people who previously
existed in Yugoslavia no longer exists? Nobody. Everybody who was there
is still there -- give or take a few thousand casualties of war -- or is
living elsewhere.
I could point out that Milosevic was only doing unsuccessfully what
Abraham Lincoln succeeded in
doing, to wit: using force to prevent states from seceding. I could also
point out that Lincoln's war was much more destructive of human life and
property than the Balkans war.
Now we don't -- or at least most of us don't -- consider Lincoln a war
criminal. Why should Milosevic be considered a war criminal for trying
to keep the Yugoslavian Federation from falling apart?
He is also charged with crimes against humanity. I'd like to know, as a
member of humanity, which human being Milosevic harmed outside the war
zone. We, after all, have killed more Iraqis than the people the Serbs
killed in any of the groups they fought.
Genocide and crimes against humanity are Orwellian terms so vague that
they are impossible to define rationally. They are an excuse used by the
victors to wreak vengeance on the losers. You can be sure that no leader
of a powerful nation with an intact army will ever be charged with
genocide or crimes against humanity, no matter what he does. I don't
recall anyone suggesting that Stalin and Mao should be tried as war
criminals, though their victims numbered in the millions. No, these are
"crimes" reserved exclusively for the weak and defeated.
Our role throughout the Balkans war was shameful. The only allies of the
West from that region during World Wars I and II were the Serbs.* We
betrayed them. We sided with the Croatians and the Albanians, who loved
the Nazis, and with the [Osama bin Ladin supported] Islamic extremists
in Bosnia.
There were some awful things done by all sides. The Balkans is a tough
neighborhood and a living reminder that "diversity and multiculturalism"
are not good things.
[*It should be pointed out that Greece is in "that region," and was a
faithful ally of the West not only in World Wars I and II, but in the
Korean conflict as well. ed.]

Editorial comment
Speaking on Balkan issues in Thessaloniki, Greece, in December of 1994,
Professor Marjorie Housepian, who has written and lectured extensively
on the region, attempted to show how the Turks, in spite of their
penchant for blood and carnage, manage to hoodwink the na�ve and
history-deficient Americans into thinking nice thoughts about them: They
do it by hiring high-priced hucksters to clean up their image. These
firms are notoriously free of any moral constraints when it comes to
presenting their clients in the most favorable light money can buy. What
follows is excerpted from the Housepian Lecture, and may enlighten the
reader as to the kind of chicanery used to sacrifice Orthodox Christian
Serbia on the altar of Zionist/American hegemonic imperialism.
Housepian: "It may be enlightening to quote from an interview given by
the head of one of the many companies working to cleanse the image of
Turkey: James Harff, director of Rudder-Finn Global Public Affairs, and
he is here talking about his firm's success in reversing Bosnia's
formerly bad image. The interview was conducted in Paris and appeared in
the Jewish monthly, Midstream, in its April 1994 issue."
Q. "'What achievements are you most proud of?'"
Harff. "'To have put Jewish opinion on our side. The Croatian and
Bosnian past are marked by cruel anti-Semitism. Tens of thousands of
Jews perished. ... Our challenge was to reverse this attitude and we
have succeeded masterfully. ... That was a tremendous coup. When the
Jewish organizations entered the game on the side of the Bosnian Muslims
[who, with their Croat partners, sided with Nazi Germany during WW II,
and were responsible for the deaths of over 300,000 Jews. ed.] we could
promptly equate the Serbs [who had fought heroically against the Nazis,
and had saved thousands of their Jewish countrymen. ed.] with the Nazis
in the public mind. ... Almost immediately, there was a change of
language in the press, with the use of words with high emotional content
such as "ethnic cleansing," and "concentration camps," that evoked
images of Nazi Germany and the gas chambers of Auschwitz. The emotional
charge was so powerful nobody could go against it.'"
Q. "'But when you did all of this, you had no proof that what you said
was true.'"
Harff. "'Our work is not to verify information, our work is to
accelerate the circulation of information favorable to us.'"
Q "'Are you aware that you took on a grave responsibility?'"
Harff. "'We are professionals. We had a job to do and we did it. We are
not paid to be moral....'"

The Case of the Invisible Trial, or "Where's the Beef?"
by Stella L. Jatras
It's called the most important trial since Nuremberg; yet, of the over
100 TV channels at my disposal, not one carries it. Curious, since for
the past ten years the media and the major TV channels couldn't wait to
spin all the sordid details of mutilations, murders, torture and charges
of genocide that the accused, former Serbian president Slobodan
Milosevic, faces at The Hague's Stalinist show trial. However, this
trial is not just about Slobodan Milosevic; is is also about the Serbian
people. Why then has the media ignored it? Can it be because of the
inept prosecution of the trial? Can it be that the "heinous criminal,
Milosevic," with only the use of a public pay phone and acting as his
own lawyer from his 9' by 15' jail cell, is making fools of the
international tribunal? Can it be that, since his guilt is a foregone
conclusion, it wouldn't do for the public to see how weak the case is
against him?
Ironically, it was a report co-authored by Daniel Pearl that broke the
story in a 1999 article in The Wall Street Journal, titled "Body Count,"
that enabled Slobodan Milosevic to discredit one of Chief Prosecutor,
Carla del Ponte's star witness against Milosevic, Halit Barani, former
actor turned reporter. The article was subtitled, "War in Kosovo Was
Cruel, Bitter, Savage: Genocide It Wasn't," and "Tales of Mass Atrocity
arose And Were Passed Along, Often With Little Proof." One of the most
gruesome charges was that the Serb paramilitary had dumped 700 [some
reports were as high as 1,500] bodies into the furnace at the Trepca
mine, after having been ground up into little pieces. As Pearl writes,
"By late summer, stories about a Nazi-like body-disposal facility were
so wide spread that investigators sent a three-man French Gendarmerie
team spelunking half a mile down the mine to search for bodies. They
found none. Another team analyzed ashes in the furnace. They found no
teeth or other signs of burnt bodies." Of Mr. Barani, Pearl writes, "Mr.
Barani doesn't completely stand by his story. 'I told everybody it was
supposition, it was not confirmed information,' he says."
The Pearl article also referred to Barani's use of a KLA [Kosovo
Liberation Army] satellite phone to call in his stories, although Barani
testified at the Milosevic trial that he had no contact with the KLA.
Mrs. Pearl characterized her husband as a journalist who sought the
truth. It would be interesting to know if Daniel Pearl were alive today,
would he be called as a witness for the defense?
Not only did Daniel Pearl conclude that there was no genocide in Kosovo,
but Agenc� France Presse of 5 April 1999, also headlined, "Kosovo is no
genocide." It is kind of hard to paint the Serbs as conducting a
genocide against ethnic Albanians when over 100,000 fled to Belgrade to
escape NATO's bombs over Kosovo.
Rapes, Murders and Torture of Serbs Irrelevant
While rapes, murders, and torture of the Serbian population were totally
ignored or discounted by the media and by human rights organizations,
charges of barbarity against the Serbs were conastant throughout the
civil war in the Balkans, for that is exactly what is was: a civil war.
In civil wars, people do terrible things to each other -- but with an
anti-Serb U.S. foreign policy agenda along with a willing media, only
one side was satanized. Former Canadian Major General Lewis MacKenzie,
Bosnia's first UNPROFOR commander, stated a simple fact, that all sides
were doing bad things. For that impartial statement, the Bosnian Muslim
government of Alija Izetbegovic saw to the good general's early exit
from Bosnia by producing "a witness [who] had seen me [MacKenzie] come
by and pick up four Muslim girls, who were taken away and presumably
raped and murdered." A total fabrication.
Among the dozens of examples of the media spinning their version of
events in the Balkans, another example of the lies being used against
the former Serbian president is the 1995 Markale marketplace massacre
for which we dropped 6,000 tons of bombs for two weeks on the Bosnian
Serbs. NATO dropped its defensive mantra and became the offensive arm of
the New World Order, in violation of its treaty. It had to. The Soviet
Union was gone and [that moral degenerate] Clinton needed to justify
NATO's existence. Yossef Bodansky, the author of Bin Laden: The Man Who
Declared War on America, in his book, Offensive in the Balkans, wrote
the following:
"Phase Three started with a self-inflicted major terrorist provocation.
On February 5, 1994, a major explosion rocked the Markale, Sarajevo's
main marketplace, causing heavy casualties. What was immediately
described as the ubiquitous 'Serb mortar shell' was actually a special
charge designed and built with the help from Hizballah experts and then
most likely dropped from a nearby rooftop onto the crowd of shoppers.
Video cameras at the ready recorded this expertly-staged spectacle of
gore, while dozens of corpses of Bosnian Muslim troops killed in action
(exchanged the day before in body swap with the Serbs) were paraded in
front of cameras to raise the casualty counts. This callous self-killing
was designed to shock the West, especially sentimental and gullible
Washington, in order to raise the level of Western sympathy to the
Bosnian Muslims and further demonize the Serbs so that Western
governments would be more supportive of Sarajevo's forthcoming
aggressive move, and perhaps even finally intervene militarily."
European newspapers also confirmed that Bosnian Muslims had committed
the Markale marketplace massacre but [that piece of excrement
masquerading as a human being that the American lemmings actually voted
for] Clinton needed an excuse to bomb the Serbs. Consider the following.
Saudi Arabia signed a letter of intent to buy 6 billion dollars worth of
Boeing Aircraft. The day after we bombed the Serbs on a trumped-up
massacre, the Saudis signed on the dotted line. Coincidence? I don't
think so. Saudi Arabia wanted the first Islamic nation in the belly of
Europe, and we wanted Saudi oil and money. And that's what this war was
all about.
I am not here to defend Slobodan Milosevic. I am here to defend the
Serbian people who have been unjustly accused of atrocities (including
cannibalism!) and who continue to suffer under our sanctions. However,
you have to hand it to Slobo. He's got guts. He is brilliantly exposing
these clowns for what they are, even with the disadvantage of having
only one phone at his disposal, the cutting off of his mike when
convenient by the chairman of the tribunal, and now faces testimonies of
witnesses behind closed doors.
As columnist Don Feder writes in his "West haunted by Balkans blunder,"
of 3 December, 2001, "Slobodan Milosevic has been charged with
complicity to commit genocide and crimes against humanity. Before the
travesty is over, he will doubtless be convicted of running the rail
line to Auschwitz" [emphasis in original].
Slobodan Milosevic has already been found guilty by those clowns at The
Hague so why bother to air the trial? Why confuse the American people
with facts? Without Slobodan Milosevic's conviction, there will be no
permanent International War Crimes Tribunal. It's their ticket to their
New World Order.

Balkan Fraud & Deceit (8)
West haunted by Balkans blunder
by Don Feder
America can drop tons of explosives and send in the Marines to fight
Taliban terrorism. But when the Serbs confronted a similar menace, they
were demonized and bombed for 78 days, and had a province wrested from
them and presented to Osama bin Laden's Balkan brigade.
Slobodan Milosevic has been charged with complicity to commit genocide
and crimes against humanity. Before the travesty is over, he will
doubtless be convicted of running the rail line to Auschwitz. The former
Yugoslav president is a thug whose brutality played into the terrorists'
hands. Even so, the trial of Milosevic before a U.N. tribunal is
intended to justify our Balkans blunder and discourage serious
consideration of its consequences.
If what happened to Kosovo Albanians and Bosnian Moslems was genocide,
what of the treatment of Orthodox Serbs? After NATO's air war, 200,000
were driven from Kosovo. Most who remain cower behind barbed-wire
barricades in Mitrovica. Altogether, 2 million Serbs were expelled from
Bosnia, Croatia, and Kosovo, and 240 of their churches were destroyed.
When this happens to anyone else, it's called ethnic cleansing and
cultural genocide.
The tragedy has its roots in the early 1990s, when the West decided
Bosnians and Croatians were entitled to their own states. Fine, said
Belgrade, but why should 2 million Serbs living there be forcibly
expatriated? Who would protect their rights? -- the Bosnian Moslems who
committed genocide against Serbs in World War II? When local Serbs tried
to secede from the secessionist states, they were reviled as racists who
hated all non-Serbs and lived to rape and plunder.
After Bosnia and Croatia came Kosovo. Albanian Moslems became a majority
in Serbia's ancient heartland through illegal immigration. The trouble
started when the Kosovo Liberation Army (on the State Department's
terrorist list as late as 1998) began murdering Serb policemen.
Milosevic overreacted. At Rambouillet, then-President [and moral
degenerate] Clinton and Secretary of State [and Zionist murderess]
Madeleine Albright gave him an ultimatum (surrender of sovereignty over
all of Yugoslavia) no self-respecting nation could accept. After the
Gulf War, Washington was determined to prove its human-rights-commitment
by coming to the aid of persecuted Moslems. The result was the creation
of a second de facto Islamic republic in Europe.
In October, NATO's secretary-general [and collectivist thug], Lord
Robertson, warned that the Balkans must not become another "Black hole"
of terrorism, like Afghanistan. He was referring to the operations of
our allies. On October 3rd, the Los Angeles Times reported, "Hundreds of
foreign Islamic extremists who became Bosnian citizens after battling
Serbian and Croatian forces present a potential security threat to
Europe and the United States." Bin Laden, who's been heavily involved in
the region since 1992, was reportedly presented with a Bosnian passport
for services rendered. The same international legion that's fighting
with the Taliban [had] earlier served the Islamic cause in Bosnia and
Kosovo.
In his Islamic Declaration, former Bosnian President Alija Izetbegovic
(celebrated in the West as a "multiculturalist") proclaimed, "There can
be no peace or coexistence between the Islamic faith and non-Islamic
societies and political institutions."
The Kosovo "freedom fighters" (as Sen. Joe Lieberman once called them)
are equally grateful for Western support. In one of the Al Qaeda camps
overrun in Afghanistan, Americans found an entry application from a
Kosovo Albanian that read: "I have Kosovo Liberation Army combat
experience against Serb forces. ... I recommend suicide operations
against parks like Disney."
After the subjugation of Kosovo, Moslems moved on Macedonia [sic].
Despite a NATO-brokered ceasefire, on Nov. 11th terrorists killed three
Macedonian [sic] policemen who were trying to guard a mass grave said to
hold the remains of civilians killed by the guerrillas. Is the Albanian
area of Macedonia [sic] destined to become Europe's third Islamic
republic?
The circus surrounding Milosevic's trial is meant to distract us from
the reality of our Balkan's misadventure -- when we went to war not
against terrorism, but in its behalf. Source Jewish World Review. 3

Editorial comment
We here at TGR are among those who look forward to the day when Bill
Clinton, Madeleine Albright, Richard Holbrooke, William Cohen, Tony
Blair, Henry Kissinger and all of the other "socialist" (read Marxist)
thugs in the European Union (including comrade Simitis), are made to pay
for the deaths, dismemberments, and ecological carnage their unbridled
lust for money and power has caused in Orthodox Christian Serbia. We are
also anxious to see the day when Israel's terrorist Prime Minister,
Ariel Sharon, is punished for the slaughter of civilians in the Sabra
and Shatila refugee camps in Lebanon in 1982, as well as for other
"crimes against humanity" committed against innocent Palestinian women,
children, the elderly, and unarmed civilians (though we are not holding
our breath).
