Note that since being put in power by NATO and the UN, the KLA has driven from Kosovo those Jews who escaped the Balli Komb�tar during W.W.

Army (sic! again) or KLA. Along with Sen. John McCain, Sen. Joseph Lieberman sponsored the "Kosovo Self-Defense Act." The text of the statement Lieberman made at the time is posted below. Here are a few observations to help put Lieberman's actions in perspective. There is virtually no doubt that at the time Lieberman was calling on Congress to arm the KLA, the US was already covertly providing arms and training to that secessionist-terrorist group. As early as the fall of 1998 we know that the Kosovo Verification Mission was setting up tactical liaison with and providing training for the KLA (1), all under the guidance of seasoned US death squad liaison expert, William Walker. (2) In February a Bosnian Islamist daily published the following: "TRAINING OF KLA MEMBERS IN US? "According to Tirana daily newspapers, the Albanian Minister of Foreign Affairs Paskal Milo said that KLA members will be trained in the US. During his meeting with US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, Milo was informed that Albanian guerrilla members from Kosovo would be sent to the US for training. Milo added that this was a promise, which Albright gave him personally." ('NEVNI AVAZ' or 'Daily Voice,' pro-Islamist Sarajevo daily, 26 Feb 99) Does a promise, apparently made by US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright in February, 1999, to openly train the KLA contradict our assertion that the US was already covertly training the KLA long before February? We don't think so. Rather, the promise of open training represented an escalation in illegality by the US government. Consider, if you will, what it meant for the US to train the KLA. 1) The US was not at war with Yugoslavia in February, 1999. 2) In February, Albright described Kosovo as "a region of Yugoslavia about the size of Connecticut," i.e. admitted it was part of a sovereign country. 3) In February, Albright called the KLA a "sometimes brutal and indiscriminate" secessionist group devoted to a "simple answer to the tragedy of Kosovo: independence from the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia." (Quotes are from "Madeleine Albright delivers remarks on Kosovo at the Institute of Peace," Feb. 4, 1999) For the US to train the KLA secretly was therefore to secretly violate national sovereignty, the cornerstone of international law. But to promise open support for violent secessionists was to uphold the US government's right to openly and flagrantly violate national sovereignty, the cornerstone of international law. In another statement in February, Albright described how the 'international community' (led by the US) would respond if the KLA didn't cooperate with US wishes: "And if the Kosovar's [i.e., the KLA] crater this, it is obviously more complicated because there's not one any center, but they will lose the support of the international community and find themselves increasingly isolated and they can't operate without the community...('ABC this Week,' Feb. 7. 1999, our emphasis) Obviously the KLA couldn't "lose the support of the international community," that is, of the U.S., unless it had it to lose. As Albright noted, the KLA "cannot operate without" this support. So US Secretary of State Albright was admitting that the US government made it possible for the KLA to conduct terrorist attacks on Yugoslavia, a sovereign country. And mind you, all this was weeks before the failure of the so-called negotiations at Rambouillet. Significance of Lieberman's 'Arm-the-KLA' Resolution The point of the "Kosovo Self-Defense Act" was not that it was needed in order for the KLA to get U.S. weapons. Rather, it was intended to openly involve the US Senate in a crime of war and to prepare public opinion for viewing the vicious KLA fascists as freedom fighters deserving popular support. Lieberman refers to the KLA as "Kosovan military forces" at a time (April 9, 1999) when the KLA was largely isolated, even among secessionist-minded Albanians. And note, that "Kosovan military forces" suggest there is some legitimate nation of "Kosova" though no such has ever existed, except as a Nazi creation. Indeed, the very word "Kosova" is meaningless in the Albanian language. (5) And so this Lieberman, who makes a public spectacle of his religious beliefs, who pontificates from a pinnacle higher than Morality, this Lieberman fronts for the KLA, self-proclaimed heirs to the Balli Komb�tar, the World War II Albanian fascists (3) who are responsible for the deaths of almost all the Jews in Kosovo. Note that since being put in power by NATO and the UN, the KLA has driven from Kosovo those Jews who escaped the Balli Komb�tar during W.W. II, driven out those survivors of the Holocaust and their descendants.(4) Following is the statement Sen. Lieberman gave to 'The Guardian' (UK) on April 9, 1999. "If, after extended air strikes, it becomes clear that Mr. Milosevic intends to continue his war of aggression, we must have an answer to the question of what next? The bill we are proposing provides us with such an answer, and an opportunity to send an uncompromising message to Mr Milosevic: we will not stand idly by and allow him to brutalise the people of Kosovo any longer. This bill is premised on our belief that Nato ground forces will not be put into Kosovo unless the Serbs and Kosovans reach a peace agreement. If we adopt that stance, though, and Serbian aggression continues, we have an obligation to allow the Kosovans to defend themselves. Our legislation, by providing aid to the Kosovan military forces, would give them a fair chance to fight for their families and their future. "I am aware that this proposal will raise some concerns. I recall that when I first raised the idea of training and equipping the Bosnian army, many critics told us that we would destabilise an entire region or accelerate an arms race. In the end, I think those concerns were shown to be misguided. "Training and equipping the Bosnians enhanced the stability of the area and helped end the Bosnian war. The situation in Kosovo is different. But that does not diminish the suffering of the Kosovan people subjected to Serb aggression, nor negate their right to defend their families from the threat of genocide." *** Further reading... 1) See 'The Cat is Out of the Bag" at http://emperors- clothes.com/news/ciaaided.htm 2) On William Walker's death squad credentials see 'Meet Mr. Massacre' at http://www.emperors-clothes.com/analysis/meetmr.htm 3) On fascism in Kosovo see George Thompson's 'The roots of Kosovo fascism' at http://emperors-clothes.com/articles/thompson/rootsof.htm 4) 'Driven from Kosovo: Jewish Leader Blames NATO - Interview With Cedda Prlincevic' at http://www.emperors-clothes.com/interviews/prlincevic.htm (5) '''KosovA' 'KosovO' - What's in a Name?'' by Prof. J.

His task is to demonstrate repeatedly and in depth that not only the emperor but even the "democratic" State has no clothes; that all governments subsist by exploitive rule over the public; and that such rule is the reverse of objective necessity. He strives to show that the existence of taxation and the State necessarily sets up a class division between the exploiting rulers and the exploited ruled. He seeks to show that the task of the court intellectuals who have always supported the State has ever been to weave mystification in order to induce the public to accept State rule and that these intellectuals obtain, in return, a share in the power and pelf extracted by the rulers from their deluded subjects.
