-Caveat Lector- LYIN' KING LEADS VIETNAM II =========================== (CNNS, 03/28/99) -- Bill Clinton, "The Lyin' King," leads us now into the Kosovo quagmire, called by some the beginning of World War III, and at least a potential Vietnam War Part 2. Appearing as a guest panelist on PBS's "McLaughlin Group," Danielle Sremic, an expert on Balkan affairs, predicted that, indeed, Kosovo will turn into a second Vietnam. As research yields actual facts, the nonsensical nature of the Spring fireworks display in Yugoslavia is emerging. Reluctantly, even a few mainstream media voices are timidly asking serious questions. For example, on ABC's Sunday morning "This Week" program, it was asked: "If Slobodan Milosevic is Hitler, will we be negotiating with him at some point?" [1] It's hard, after all, to negotiate with "Hitler." And since several experts are now saying the Serbs will never surrender unless NATO ground troops are deployed into Kosovo, then either Milosevic is not really "Hitler" or the escalating conflict is going to get VERY bloody. Says Richard Jaehne, former commander of the NATO operations school in Europe, "We're in for a long conflict whatever we're going to do. It's not going to be quick, it's not going to be easy, and it's not going to be cheap." [2] Jaehne says it's not going to be cheap, which means it will cost lives and money. And even still, days after the bombing blitz, nary a word in mainstream media outlets on how much $$$ it is costing and will cost. Some say whatever millions and billions of dollars are being spent on the boom-booms falling now on Yugoslavia would be better spent on easing the plight of the homeless in America. Not understood, though, is that these USA homeless are necessary to prop up the real estate bubble: were there less-desperate demand for affordable housing, due to a greater supply of same, the inflated real estate market would collapse. And that's not good for landlords. As usual, independent reporters on the Internet are providing the most accurate coverage of what is really going on. Thanks to their help, CNNS can now piece together the following: (1) Mike Wallace of CBS, notorious already for his fake reports on the death of Vince Foster, promotes propaganda regarding "Serb Rape Camps." The History Channel broadcast a program recently, hosted by Wallace, where the "Rape Camps" story was pushed off onto viewers. Supposedly, the Serb soldiers had been massively raping Bosnian women who were their prisoners, and that age made no difference. Even old ladies, so the story goes, were being systematically raped by their Serb guards! For refutation of this twin of an earlier "Iraq incubator babies" story, also shown now to be a lie, visit the Serb Unity Congress website, www.suc.org (2) "Ah, but of course the Serbs would deny it!" (That response is already foreseen.) But the so-called "Racak massacre," trigger for the present imbroglio, is denied not just by the Serbs but questioned by various journalists. *Le Figaro* (France) doubts the story. *Le Monde* (France) is skeptical. [3] A team of forensic investigators from Finland, by preliminary reports, also doubts the "Racak massacre" story. And an article in Chronicles Magazine disputes the claim of a "Racak massacre." ("Hot Spots: Kosovo Crisis." www.chroniclesmagazine.org/ ) (3) But even were the "Racak massacre" story true, the deaths of 500,000 innocent children in Iraq, brought on by U.S.-led sanctions, makes Bill Clinton seem to be, comparatively, the truer "Hitler." (4) Protesters throughout the world have been gathering to denounce the NATO boom-booms in Yugoslavia: In Moscow, thousands protest; in New York City, thousands protest [4]; in Vancouver, hundreds protest [5]; in Toronto, protesters firebomb the U.S. Consulate [6]; in Australia, thousands protest and throw eggs at police [7]. (5) Strictly speaking, it's still unknown why NATO is bombing Yugoslavia. Asked John McLaughlin on his PBS broadcast of March 28, 1999: "What's the *real* reason?" If you believe the USA is spending all this money and manpower due to a sudden idealistic upsurge in humanitarian feelings, CNNS has some land it would like to sell you. So then what's the real reason? We still don't know, but theories include: (a) imperialism; (b) control of drugs flowing through the region; (c) the corporate war machine dumps bombs and then we have to pay them to build more bombs. The RAYTHEON CORPORATION builds the missiles now being dumped over Yugoslavia. They are sure to profit when more U.S. taxpayer money is handed to them, necessitated by the suddenly depleted U.S. missile supply. "Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Boeing and other US defense contractors have made no secret of the fact that they see the conflict in Yugoslavia as an opportunity to market their weapons and secure new contracts." [8] (6) A net effect of the NATO bomb blitz will be to further strengthen "dictator" Milosevic (who, as "dictator," nonetheless has a Parliament in his land which does something or other) [9]. It will also help re-unite portions of the former USSR, tending to bring together the former Soviet republics of Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus [10]. The insane NATO extravaganza has also, ironically, led to more deaths rather than fewer in the region [11]. (7) The NATO aggression against Yugoslavia occurs simultaneously with the Dow-Jones average hitting (briefly) the 10,000 mark. "Ru Mills" (pseudonym) had informed this news service some months ago that, according to her sources, Dow 10,000 would be the signifier for major, planned events. CNNS and others have previously warned of a re-emergence of the old Cold War geopolitical *status quo*. (8) The NATO aggression occurs in tandem with an erupting scandal in the U.S. potentially connecting Red Chinese "campaign contributions" with the Clinton regime and Chinese espionage. In Yugoslavia, one of their TV networks prominently broadcast the movie "Wag the Dog" concurrent with the start of NATO's explosive aggression. "Wag the Dog" suggests the use of war hysteria as diversionary tactic to counter domestic scandal. (9) Analysis: Mainstream news outlets serve the USA Goebbels arm of the Corporate State. They run footage, provided by defense contractors, of their latest super-duper gizmos -- "news" "filler" footage. The USA politicians are bought-and-paid-for by the Corporate State. Many politicos choose to become corporate lobbyists or corporate media faces when they grow tired of politics. USA military brass look forward to cushy corporate jobs, as "consultants," when they retire early from military duty and draw their pensions. Left out of the American "dream" are the poor and the homeless; they fill the streets and the prisons. But even these unfortunates serve the USA Corporate State: they are a reserve army of unemployed -- millions strong, despite misleading "percentages." These millions of people ensure (a) that there is a whip of fear on the backs of those who do have jobs, who know there is no shortage of replacements; (b) that affordable housing is kept limited, thereby propping up real estate prices. ---------------------------<< Notes >>--------------------------- [1] "This Week," ABC network, 3/28/99 [2] "Former Head of NATO School Sees Long Haul," by Chris Sundheim.
