>Dear friends,
>
>Please find below a very urgent message asking you to help defend
>Yugoslavia. This is not a public message. You have to appreciate which
>persons might help.
>
>My articles about the present situation - and those documents may certainly
>be published and forwarded - will be sent to you also today. If you can
help
>for translation in any language, and circulation, and gathering of
>information, please let me know.

>>> Yugoslavia must live !

>>> Appeal to be in Belgrade
>>> and to help for the next battle of information

>>>
>>> The only country of Europe still resisting to the New World Order is
>under
>>> threat, but there are also strong forces of resistance and possibilities
>of
>>> opening the eyes. 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. Some of you could read the articles I sent every day. Other
>>> progressive journalists from Germany worked also in this way.
>>> This experience confirms that we need to work with more coordination.
>Each
>>> in our country, we are doing about the same kind of work but too
>>> separately; so the information we provide is too limited and to slow
(see
>>> document about Alternative Media Conference).
>>>
>>> I suggest some of us accept the invitation of Yugoslavian Parliament and
>go
>>> to Belgrade for the second round of elections between, for example, 5th
>and
>>> 10th of December. There, we would work as an international joint task
>force
>>> for information. Working collectively to gather news, interviews,
images,
>>> atmospheres and analyses, and using them collectively for all our media
>and
>>> all friends of peace all over the world through Internet.
>>> Based on my first experience, I will expose different propositions, and
>>> also supports of Yugoslavian journalists and other persons who can help
>us.
>>> I think we need this also in the perspective of the next battles against
>>> imperialism.
>>> The second round of the presidential elections will be followed by
weeks
>>> and months of strong pressures on Yugoslavia and even more decisive
>>> elections � the Serbian parliament � next April. This will be best
>prepared
>>> by a first common experience. A lot of new methods and common activities
>>> need practice.
>>>
>>> Yugoslavs really need our help. Let us not forget they are defending no
>>> only themselves only but the independence and freedom of all other
>peoples.
>>> Let us not be passive in front of Nato becoming the gendarme of the
>world.
>>> If they succeed, the next Kosovo might come soon, in Caucasus or
>elsewhere.
>>> I ask you to react as soon as possible and tell if you can come to
>>> Belgrade, or suggest someone else to do. My next message will detail the
>>> proposals for concrete actions.
>>>
>>> Information from there is not the only task. It is just the basis for
>broad
>>> campaign. I suggest to
>>> 1. Organise meetings and debates, mainly to reveal how the CIA is
>financing
>>> and organising the whole thing.
>>> 2. Provide our information to honest journalists in all countries.
>>> 3. Contact Western journalists who will be in Yugoslavia during those
>days
>>> that they can reach international observers, �other� experts and �other�
>>> sources, and how.
>>> 4. Distribute efficiently and as quickly as possible our information in
>all
>>> web-sites and mailing lists.
>>> 5. Centralise the proofs of media-lies in the Western press to help
>counter
>> them.
>>>
>>> Please send as soon as possible, your questions, comments and
>suggestions.
