FOREWORD: Albanian Terrorists� Proxies
PHOENIX, Aug. 15 - On Aug. 15, we received a letter from a TiM reader who
offered the following comment on the just-signed �peace agreement� in
Macedonia:
�The government of Macedonia and someone who allegedly represents the
Albanian rebels signed today the Framework Agreement for Peace. I say
allegedly because the rebels were not present at the negotiating table and
it is not known whether they would adhere to the agreement.� [�]
The TiM editor replied as follows:
�Yes, they were. The Albanian "rebels" - a.k.a. KLA (UCK) or KPC - are
nothing but the New World Order mercenaries. They were represented there
by no less than three officials - James Pardee (U.S.), Lord Robertson
(NATO), and Javier Solana (EU, also former NATO). For what it�s worth��

3. PR Spinning of Terrorists into �Statesmen�
The New York Times Helps Transform Albanian Terrorists� PR Images
PHOENIX, Aug. 17 - Prior to the Kosovo war (1999), Hashim Thaci, a Kosovo
Albanian who emerged as the UCK (Albanian abbreviation for Kosovo
Liberation Army - KLA) was a virtual nobody. A few photo-op sessions
later, in which Madeleine Albright kissed the thug, and she and her
spokesman, James Rubin, shook his hand and treated him as a head of state,
a virtual nobody became a virtual head of state (see �Thugs of the World
Are Uniting (Again),� June 21, 1999). Just like Yasser Arafat. At least
that�s what an average American or Western European citizen might have
concluded.
Well, the New York Times is at it again. This time, it is providing its
terrorist-to-statesman PR services to an UCK offshoot in Macedonia, where a
�peace farce� agreement has just been signed (see Item 1 of this TiM
Bulletin). Ali Ahmeti, also a virtual nobody until the fighting in
Macedonia broke out earlier this year, is an Albanian terrorist, like Thaci
in service of the New World Order, whom the Times is now spinning as a
future Macedonian statesman (see �Shadowy Rebel Assures Macedonia That He
Seeks Peace,� Aug. 17).
The PR pattern is unmistakable. A �mysterious� and �enigmatic� figure
emerges from the shadows of the rebel world (read the CIA or other spook
agency�s world - the latter, of course, is never mentioned in the Times
stories), to carry the torch for an ethnic minority (Albanian) cause.
Despite its biased reporting, however, the Times sometimes provides useful
confirmations of our analyses and theories. Here�s, for example, what its
Aug. 17 report says about Ahmeti�s dealings with the NATO brass:
�But since then, to the ire of Macedonians, Mr. Ahmeti has become a regular
partner for negotiations with NATO leaders. Even today, four- wheel drive
vehicles carrying NATO officials and foreign diplomats climbed a dirt road
to this village, which is filled with armed guerrillas, their supplies, a
hospital, a mess hall and children wearing red N.L.A. patches.
When fighting flared to the edge of full-blown civil war, NATO leaders
regularly visited him and urged him to pull back his troops. And, given the
limits of heading what one diplomatic official today called a "disparate"
guerrilla group, officials say he has generally kept his word.�
See that �NATO leaders regularly visited him�-line? Now go back and reread
our Foreword, written a couple of days ago.
For now, Ahmeti is still donning his (German/NATO-made) military garb (see
the photos). In the next phase, however, stand by for a shirt-and-tie
image, just like Thaci�s. Ahmeti will then be posing for pictures
surrounded by adoring children (�Just like his Marxist idols, Thaci hugs
children by day while murdering by night,� read our caption of his June 25,
1999 photo).
As with most things, however, you get what you pay for. While the New York
Times PR service appears to be free and voluntary, it is not necessarily
very good. In fact, it is quite sloppy at times...
Take a look at the two Ahmeti images reproduced at our web site. In the
one on the left, Ahmeti is shown at the Times web site with the Albanian
double-headed eagle crest on the wall behind him. The photo on the right,
however, which was carried only in the print edition, clearly shows the UCK
letters above the crest.
In other words, the Albanian NWO mercenaries in Macedonia don�t even bother
to hide the Kosovo insignia under which they exterminated the Serbs from
that Serbian province. Is that why the letters UCK have been cropped from
the Times� web edition photo?
A coincidence? Only for the uninitiated. Check out �The New York Times
Lies and Distorts - Again and Again�� (Feb. 5, 2000). This TiM Bulletin
provides two additional examples of image and truth manipulation by the
Times. This included switching the identity of victims (from Serbs to
Croats), such as in a 1993 example provided in that last year�s TiM
Bulletin.
