The Age
December 12, 2007 Dear Editor: Let Kosovo be Kosovo is a repugnant piece of journalism. "Ten thousand" ethnic Albanians have not been killed, but nearly half of the 4,300 who were killed were Serbians. This does not include the hundreds of Serbs killed in the few years that preceded the bombing of Kosovo. Less than 45% of the Albanians in Kosovo cast their ballot two weeks ago revealing the apathy among Albanians—maybe due to their reluctance to be governed by a ban of KLA war criminals and terrorist like Agim Ceku, a Hague convicted war criminal and recent Prime Minister. Hashim Thaci, the new prime minister, who has the most blood-soaked hands in the region. No mention was made in this article that 40% of the Muslim Albanians in Kosovo are illegal aliens who cross the border from Albania into Kosovo as easily as Mexicans cross our border each night in San Diego, California—a sign of things to come in California with our own illegal immigration invasion. Omitted is any reference to the 151 ancient Christian Serbian churches that have been destroyed in the past 5 years, with 42 destroyed in 4 days of Albanian violence in March, 2004 in which 19 Serbs were killed and 500 Serbian homes went up in smoke as 17,000 NATO troops watched in helpless silence. Or was this American cooperation? I have photographic evidence of General Wesley Clark embracing Agim Ceku and Hasim Tachi and an image of Madeleine Albright kissing Hashim Thaci. These Serbian churches, dating to the 12th and 13th centuries, survived 400 years of Turkish occupation, two Balkan Wars, two Wold Wars and 78 days of U.S. bombing, but proved incapable of surviving the last 5 years under a Muslim "majority"? Such shameful racism is simply glossed over in this article as Albanians treat their minority Serbs like Americans treated blacks in Alabama 40 years ago. The U.S. has spent billions of dollars building Camp Bondsteel in Kosovo that consumes over 1,000 acres for what, to protect two million Albanians from 100,000, mostly older Serbs? Those Serbs remain in ghettos surrounded by barbed-wire defended by NATO forces. Those who venture out for food are murdered. American military interests in building one of the largest American military bases in Europe is not questioned, but Russian interests are? This is a pure unvarnished political power grab by the West and the stealing of Serbian assets like the Trepca Mines worth an estimated $5 Trillion dollars with one of the largest coal reserves in Europe that will last for 500 years. Or are we pretending that the readers of this illiterate nonsense are as ill-informed as this writer? This is also about morons like George Soros and his band of degenerate financial criminals who are out to steal financial assets from the Serbs, Romanians or any ethnic group that stands in their way. More than 450,000 Serbs have been cleansed from land on which Serbs were a majority for centuries, until the Holocaust, when tens of thousands were liquidated and 160,000 were cleansed by Albanian Nazis. Tito forbade their return to Kosovo and gave their land to these Nazi collaborators. When Tito granted "autonomy" to Muslim Albanians in 1978 over 100,000 Serbs were forced to leave due to the rape of Serbian nuns and Serbian girls and the burning of hundreds of Serbian farms. These crimes against humanity were well reported by David Binder of the New York Times during these years of Albanian violence. It is obvious that this writer lacks the skills to do any real research before putting pen to paper. The writer also omits any mention that during the bombing in 1999 over 100,000 Albanians fled to Belgrade... into the arms of their Serbian enemies? Another 250,000 fled to Montenegro and 150,000 fled to Macedonia, both Serb dominated areas. Its the first time in modern warfare that the alleged victims ran to their enemies. But the truth was told by two British journalists who were in Kosovo during the bombing and reported that the KLA forced tens of thousands of Albanians to leave and made damn sure they fled past the CNN cameras. These reporters also said that "Albanian were not being cleansed by Serbian troops they were fleeing the falling bombs." No explanation is ever made as to how it was possible for 5,000 Serbian troops to cleanse "850,000" Albanians. We now know the truth. Muslims have become expert at lies and propaganda. We now know 7 years later that "350,000 victims" were not killed in Bosnia. In fact, Reuters reported last November that 4 major human rights organizations who had combed through victims' lists for the past 5 years, "were having difficulty coming up with 90,000 victims on all sides." We now know that 60,000 Bosnian women were not raped; that bodies of slaughtered Albanians were not dissolved in mining acid pits or dropped down mining shafts at Trepca; that Dubrovnik was not destroyed; and that 100,000 Albanians were not killed in Kosovo. In 1942, Goebbels, the Minister of Propaganda for the Third Reich told the world, "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it." This seems to be the world of lies in which most Albanian live. Of course the writer of this junk also does not tell your readers that when NATO escorted Albanians back into Kosovo, thousands of Albanian criminals who had been recently released from Albanian prisons entered Kosovo pretending to be cleansed victims of the Serbs. Today this criminal element has converted Kosovo into the cesspool of Europe with human trafficking, prostitution run a muck, weapons dealing and have made Kosovo the transit point for 70% of the heroin entering Europe. Today’s Kosovo land grab by a fictitious Muslim majority is a Muslim effort to make Serbs extinct. In the 2000 census Serbs represented 21% in Kosovo. Today they represent less than 3%, maybe your writer is too ignorant to recognize Genocide, or worse, supports it? President Bush apparently supports the violation of the UN Charter, Resolution 1244, the Helsinki Final Act and numerous international laws. The crisis is about more than Russian sympathies, it is about “equal human rights” for the Christian Serb citizens of Kosovo.
