In October 1999 >"anti-Milosevic" rallies grew to 150,000 people. Today those rallies are >lucky to get 15,000 people. What happened? Well, for one, the people of >Yugoslavia have watched the beleaguered Milosevic manage somehow to repair >roads, rebuild the five transmission lines destroyed by American bombs and >missiles and fix downed bridges sufficiently that people can walk, and in >some cases drive, across rivers in spite of sanctions which have prohibited >the Serbs from being able to buy materials to make those repairs from other >nations - not even former parts of Yugoslavia. > >In fact, reports coming to me indicate that the utter chaos in the area is >in Kosovo, which is being governed by the United Nations and KFOR and >costing billions of dollars. It's hard to conclude that there is anything >but almost total anarchy going on in Kosovo, based on reports from KFOR >itself and its apparent inability of protecting ANY non-Albanian or even >moderate Albanians in the province. > >Clinton and the West are demanding that the Serbs kick Milosevic out of >office and in a "free election" choose someone more to their liking. In >fact, that apparently was the main reason for the bombing of Serbia. In a >Memorial Day speech 1999, as our bombers were obliterating as much of >Yugoslavia as possible, Bill Clinton justified the action saying: > >" In Kosovo we see some parallels to World War II, for the government of >Serbia, like that of Nazi Germany, rose to power in part by getting people >to look down on people of a given race and ethnicity, and to believe they >had no place in their country, and even no right to live. But even more >troubling, we see some parallels to the rumblings all around the world where >people continue to fall out with one another and think they simply cannot >share common ground and a common future with people who worship God in a >different way or have a slightly different heritage. > >Of course, he failed to mention the fact that, in Kosovo, approximately one >third of the people who were creating problems were not citizens of >Yugoslavia but were illegal aliens from Albania, after its communist >government fell apart. Apparently that is not significant. In the United >States there are currently about 3.5 million illegal aliens, in a population >of over 268,000,000, many of them arriving during the Clinton >Administration, and it is not politically correct to point out that they >often are the prime source of crime. Ask any police chief in any town in >California or Texas. That is not a "racist" statement. It is simply an >historical fact. Once the group that generated most of the crime in big >cities of America were the Irish. In Rochester, New York, the Irish >immigrant section of town in the 1850s was so dangerous the local police >stayed out of it. > >So, when America found out the hard way in Kosovo that the Albanians were >not angels and the reason why Milosevic sent in the Yugoslav Army, was >because over 300 members of the police had been shot and killed by Albanian >terrorists in 1998-99. And, it didn't seem to matter whether the policemen >were Serbs or ethnic Albanians. The fact of the matter was, and is, that a >well armed group of ethnic Albanian terrorists goes around killing, robbing, >raping and burning down homes of anyone who is non-Albanian, or even >Albanians who are peaceloving. > >Now, in the news, is another European politician who has spoken out against >a veritable take-over of Austria by aliens. Jorge Haider, of Austria's >Freedom Party, took second place in elections in October and his party has >become part of the Austria government. This came about, as did Milosevic's >electoral victories, via people voting in free and open elections. The >result of votes cast last October gave the ruling Social Democrats in >Austria 33 per cent, down from 38 per cent in 1995, the Freedom Party 27.22 >per cent, up from 21, and the conservative People's Party, the junior >partner in the ruling coalition, 26.9 per cent, down from 28.3 per cent. > >"The election has thrown Austria's traditional political landscape into >confusion and prompted a frenetic bout of horsetrading on forming a new >government." Why? Because the Freedom Party is dubbed a "far right" party - >similar, to the media, of the "far right" wing of the Republican party, for >example. As a result of the Austrian people choosing candidates that the >socialists of Europe and America deem "dangerous" and "too far right," they >appear to be about ready to cancel the Austrian democratic election. > >What exactly has Haider said that is so terrible? He has said he would halt >immigration. Shades of Pat Buchanan! Why? Because he thinks that the growing >crime rate and unemployment problems in Austria may be traced to the 30% of >the population who are NOT Austrians. Is he wrong in stating that is a >problem? No one I have read have disputed the figures. They have merely >condemned Haider for SAYING it out loud. > >Haider was also strongly criticized by Anti-Defamation League of Austria's >Jewish community, and Austrian political leaders for equating the expulsion >of the Sudeten Germans from Bohemia and northern Moravia after World War II >with the Holocaust. Speaking on the subject of restitution to victims of the >Nazi regime on the "ZiB2" television news program, Haider said, "If Jewish >emigrants are granted their demands, there will be no end to this so-called >reparation. When Sudeten-Germans make the same demands to the Czech >authorities, they are told that it's not possible, because the line must be >drawn somewhere. But what's fair for one should be fair for all." > >This really upset the ADL which considered the statement a minimizing of >"the Jewish genocide" according to Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director, >and Marta Halpert, ADL Central and Eastern European Regional Director. "By >comparing these two incomparable historic events, Mr. Haider minimizes the >tragedy of the Jewish genocide." > >Actually, Haider was not "minimizing the Jewish genocide." He was saying >there has to be an end to the reparations game. Shortly after World War II >the remaining Jews of Europe received huge amounts of financial assistance >to either emigrate to Israel, America or elsewhere or rebuild in European >countries. Admittedly before and during the war the Jews had little help. In >fact, bills passed in 1921 and 1924 in the United States limited immigration >of Jews and others, just in time to make it increasingly difficult for the >Jews of Europe to escape Nazi extermination. A total of 5, 750,000 Jews had >been slaughtered by the German Nazis. > >However, in the constant designation of the holocaust being a "Jewish >genocide" other groups of people, including the 1.7 million Serbs who were >slaughtered by Croatian, Bosnian and Albanian Nazis during World War II, >plus the slaughter of Poles, Gypsies (Roma), mentally retarded and others >deemed "undesirable" have been all but ignored. In fact, in recent years the >U.S. media, especially CNN have criticized the Serbs for "hanging on" to >their distrust of Croatians, Albanians and Bosnians who killed one in seven >Serbs 50 years ago in an effort to eliminate them as an ethnic group. > >In "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, William Shirer described the >episode that cost the most lives in Hitler's 1939-40 "resettlement" program >in Poland: > >On October 9, two days after assuming the latest of his posts Himmler >decreed that 550,000 of the 650,000 Jews living in the annexed Polish >provinces, together with all Poles not fit for 'assimilation,' should be >moved into the territory of the General Government, east of the Vistula >River. Within a year, 1,200,000 Poles and 300,000 Jews had been uprooted and >driven to the East. Himmler himself described it, in addressing the S.S. >Leibstandarte: >"It happened in Poland in weather forty degrees below zero, where we had to >haul away thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands; where we had >to have the toughness - you should hear this, but also forget it >immediately - to shoot thousands of leading Poles ...Gentlemen, it is much >easier in many cases to go into combat with a company than to suppress an >obstructive population of low cultural level, or to carry out executions or >to haul away people or evict crying and hysterical women." > >Yes, 5,750,000 Jews died. But the total number of deaths resulting from >those years was 30,000,000 people - 20 million of them died in the USSR, who >was our ally in World War II. > >I can't think of any policy that is more apt to rekindle the resentments and >anger that led to the death of 30 million people in World War II than the >constant ignoring of the others who suffered and died in those Nazi >concentration camps. Remembering the lives of the 23,350,000 who lost their >lives due to World War II does not mean that the 5,750,000 Jews have been >forgotten. > >If, as I have read, 30% of the people living in Austria today are foreign >born, we are not in a good position to lecture the Austrians on "accepting" >more foreign born. When the United States limited immigration in 1921 and >1924, it was because there were 13,920,692 foreign born living in the United >States in 1920 in a population of 105,710,620. America thought it had too >many aliens when only 13% of its population were foreign born. The stringent >restrictions on immigration led to a mere 580,207 immigrant aliens being >allow into the United States from 1931 to 1941 - of which only 161,262 were >Jews. > >It is bizarre that there is such condemnation of people like Haider who >don't want their nation turned totally into a conclave for Africans or >Middle Eastern Muslims, when the African and Middle Eastern Muslim nations >have policies hostile to the immigration of whites from Europe. In fact, in >South Africa, people whose families have lived there for over 300 years are >being driven out, with Nelson Mandela saying, publicly, "Let them go! Good >riddance!" > >That might be compared with Haider saying, after criticism from Israel over >his comments about too many "foreigners" in Austria, ""Israel should clean >up in front of its own door and first resolve its problems with the >Palestinians!" This just about created apoplexy in the International media. >However, one might say that nations, such as the USA and Israel, are being a >tiny bit hypocritical in lecturing Haider about getting along with others. >Under Clinton we have bombed quite a number of nations and seem to have now, >or have had, sanctions against half the nations of the world, one of them >being an island 90 miles off the coast of Florida. The nations of Europe we >seem to be condemning, Yugoslavia and Austria, so far have not bombed anyone >else's country. > >Increasingly, it appears, if voters in other countries don't vote the way >the White House wants them to vote, they are treated as enemies and either >isolated, sanctioned or bombed. And where does that lead? Quite often to the >kind of anarchy that now exists in Kosovo. > >To comment: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > >Secretary General >Mrs. Jela Jovanovic >Art historian >=========================== __________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
