PREDICTED *CAUSA BELLI* APPEARS
===============================
(CNNS, 04/01/99) -- On March 25, 1999, this news service posted
to Internet the following prediction:
Phase 2 of the Kosovo *causa belli* may be a staged event
of Serb troops supposedly crossing over into Macedonia.
Such a staged event would "excuse" NATO troops, now massed
in Macedonia, for invading Kosovo. [1]
*Causa belli* means "pretext for war." The CNNS prediction of
March 25, 1999, was repeated by this news service in a subsequent
press release, dated March 29, 1999:
Significantly, the NYTimes article which is shocked --
shocked! -- by the danger of dishonest news outlets also
discloses that the Serbs fear NATO troops in Macedonia will
soon provoke border incidents as pretext for a planned
invasion by NATO ground troops. [2]
NYTimes quotes a Serb news anchor, as follows:
"Our sources report," the anchor said in the same
evening news broadcast, "that in addition to 2,400
NATO soldiers stationed in Macedonia, 1,800 U.S.
soldiers have just arrived. NATO plans to use these
forces to provoke border incidents and stage an
alleged Yugoslav attack on Macedonia, which would be
used as a pretext for sending NATO ground forces into
Yugoslavia." [3]
Today, April 1, 1999 (of all days, "April Fools Day"), reports
are extensive on the unfortunate capture of three U.S. soldiers
serving under the auspices of an offensive NATO force.
Please pause a moment, in the flurry of news from the troubled
Yugoslav region, to make note of how predictably the scenario has
unfolded.
On March 29, 1999, this news service published a report by
Sherman H. Skolnick of the Citizens' Committee to Clean Up the
Courts, a highly-regarded public interest research group, warning
that U.S. soldiers operating under NATO command may not be
protected by the Geneva Convention:
Of more immediate concern is the fact that the Geneva
Convention, ratified during the 1920s, does not apparently
cover military personnel operating under the auspices of
the *ex post facto* NATO. Since NATO did not exist during
the 1920s, pilots shot down over Yugoslavia may not be
sheltered by the Geneva Convention. In such a case, they
could be subject to torture and execution by the Serbs.
[4]
Today, April 1, 1999 ("April Fools Day"), reports have appeared
via mainstream USA news outlets loudly decrying the Serbs lest
they violate supposedly operant Geneva Convention protections.
The fact that the predicted scenario is unfolding on April Fools
Day has a double significance: (1) it muddies the issue: this
report by CNNS is not to be taken in any way, shape or form as
any sort of April Fools joke. The previous CNNS reports which
have predicted the unfolding scenario are all archived and can be
proven to have appeared days before current events. (2) it is
symbolic, in a major way, that the predicted NATO *causa belli*,
prelude to insertion of NATO ground troops into Yugoslavia,
enters the public consciousness on this day, April 1, 1999.
It is awkward for an American news service, which strongly wishes
for our young soldiers to be safe, to report on these
circumstances. Nonetheless, it must be pointed out that we are
being lied to by our government and their lies are aided and
abetted by the mainstream U.S. mass media. Does the cause of
Truth supersede national boundaries? Let's hope so.
