I suggest we all mobilise to help the Yugoslavs to >defend >>> themselves. >>> This is an historical moment and the next weeks and months will be >crucial. >>> If we let Yugoslavia be defeated, this time not by bombs but by dollars, >>> corruption and psychological manipulation, then the balance of forces >will >>> become worse in all Eastern Europe, Russia, Caucasus, also for Iraq and >for >>> all peoples of the world. >>> >>> I was in Belgrade during these elections. It was a fantastic experience. >>> Being there, in close contact with 200 international observers, most of >>> them progressive, with the battle between the two camps, getting >>> information on the ground about this CIA-campaign, and sending every day >>> articles to all web sites and alternative information groups all over the >>> world, brought many lessons that can be used for the next >anti-imperialist >> battles. >>> Especially, the need to organise better the information work to counter >>> the media-lies spread in all the Western press about Yugoslavia during >>> those days.
