"HUMANITARIAN" BECOMES SCAREY WORD
==================================
(CNNS, 04/16/99) -- Watch out when you hear, "I'm from the
government, and I'm here to help you." Likewise, a new sign of
danger is when you hear the government start saying,
"Humanitarian."
"Humanitarianism," like "patriotism," may be turning into "the
last refuge of scoundrels."
True humanitarianism, like true patriotism, is a good thing. But
just like politicians are known to pick up and kiss babies, they
also are known to wrap themselves in "patriotism" and now,
"humanitarianism."
In a press release from this news service, dated Dec. 6, 1998, we
reported on what source "Roland Rocket" (pseudonym) knew
regarding how U.S. prisoners are reacting to the perceived Y2K
threat. "Rocket", who has worked in American "correctional
facilities" (prisons) and has officer-level military sources of
his own, recently contacted us with further info.
Rocket writes, in part, that "it seems ironic that situations
like 'humanitarian' actions in Yugoslavia that are initiated to
'save lives' create tremendous paranoia and panic among the
inmate populations because they fear eradication by these same
'humanitarians' under the Hoover amendment."
The Hoover amendment, according to Rocket, was set up by J. Edgar
Hoover, long-time FBI Director, in the 1950s. Hoover was
concerned that the U.S. prison population would be likely
survivors of nuclear war, and arranged that in such a case
prisoners were to be locked down then shotgunned to death in
their prison cells.
Rocket's military sources are skeptical regarding the three U.S.
soldiers recently captured by Serb forces. The three U.S.
soldiers are reportedly Rangers, part of an elite force, yet did
not follow established procedure when they contacted their base
by radio. Soldiers in their situation are supposed to send a
"S.A.L.U.T.E. report" regarding the enemy force encountered (Size
of force, Activity, Location, Uniform, Time, Equipment).
Instead, says Rocket, they gave "less information than a
frightened housewife in a 911 call."
"All of the ex-Nam boys here don't believe the beating stuff
either," reports our source. "Look at the uniforms: no muss, no
mud, no blood. Most of the marks on their faces are made up of
residual cammo face paint."
Sherman Skolnick of the Citizens' Committee to Clean Up the
Courts, in Chicago, is also skeptical. He has questioned the
authenticity of some photos of the three captured soldiers.
Reportedly, some photos show patch insignia on their uniforms
while other photos show no such patch insignia.
"Perhaps the most terrible thing is that so many people in and
out of the service are so desperate to believe anything but the
fact that WE are the bad guys that they are beginning to parrot
the propaganda of the White House. They really don't believe it,
but it has become a mantra oft repeated to ward off the specter
of the awful truth," adds Rocket.
Here at home, Sherman Skolnick has been reporting on intimidation
of Serb Americans and immigrant Serbs by the U.S. Immigration and
Naturalization Service (INS). To hinder Serb protests and
demonstrations against the un-Constitutional and illegal U.S.-led
aggression against Yugoslavia, Serbs in the U.S. are reportedly
being threatened with deportation and detention. INS spokeswoman
Barbara Francis denies part of the allegation. According to Ms.
Francis, under an "informal policy" no one is being deported to
Yugoslavia during the current conflict. ("No Yugoslav deportees
during airstrikes," UPI, 4/13/99.) But no such denials were
issued by Ms. Francis regarding Skolnick's and others' claims
that some too-vocal Serbs are targeted to be rounded up and
placed in detention camps, for example a detention camp in
isolated Alaska.
(Ms. Francis also, notably, calls the erupting Yugoslav war a
"conflict." The White House also sticks to this nomenclature.
The Vietnam War was also referred to as a "conflict" and not a
"war" during its initial first few years. By referring to the
Yugoslav bloodbath as a "conflict," tricky lawyer-minds thereby
hope to bypass Constitutional restrictions stating that only the
U.S. Congress can declare "war." So is it a "war" or is it a
"conflict"? That depends on what you mean by "is.")
According to the latest report from Mr. Skolnick, the FBI has now
been brought in to help intimidate Serbs here in the U.S. The FBI
is now "demonizing Serbian-Americans in general. The Bureau
planted details making it seem that certain major Serb church
officials in the U.S., such as in the Chicago area, urged their
parishioners to murder U.S. soldiers in the U.S., as a reprisal
for the U.S. murder of Serb civilians in Serbia by missile and
bomb attacks on schools, hospitals, and private apartment
buildings." ("FBI Dirty Tricks Against U.S. Serbs," by Sherman
H. Skolnick. Contact info: recorded message, 773-731-1100;
office, 773-375-5741.)
This latest U.S.-led "humanitarian" action has resulted in
widespread suffering: fear, homelessness, and death. Use by
NATO forces of depleted uranium shells in Kosovo are turning that
region into a radioactive wasteland -- how safe will it be for
the ethnic Albanians to return? "Humanitarianism" or terror?
The proof is in the pudding. "By their fruits shall you know
them."
