Who are the No. 1 War Criminals?

[p. 74]

Milosevic

Harvard political scientist Samuel Huntington interprets history as the record of human civilizations. The West is in relative decline. Asia is expanding and lslam is on the rise. Perhaps, recent events on the Balkans - with their Muslim component - reflect a microcosm of future historic developments.

Yugoslavia broke up over the past decade. During the post-war rule of Jozef Broz Tito a relative calm reigned between ethnic population groups. Slobodan Milosevic was supposed to keep the nation together. His bad luck was, that Washington decided the moment had arrived to cleanse the Balkans of the vestiges of communism for once and for all. The true story of how the Kosovo Liberation Army (kla-uck) transformed in twelve months from a 200 member guerrilla band into a 12.000 uniformed, armed to the teeth fighting force, will have to become clear over the years to come.

Albania is made up of Ghegs, Tosks, Greeks, Vlachs, Gypsies, Montenegrin Serbs, Malissores and Bulgars. Tirana was the last East European nation to open in 1954 diplomatic relations with Peking. But after the Soviet invasion of Hungary in 1956, Albania began to warm up to China. In 1960 Enver Hoxha sided with Mao and attacked the policies of Nikita Khrushchev. ‘China urgently needed a Communist ally in Europe,’ British journalist Richard Deacon stated in his book The Chinese Secret Service.⁸¹ ‘In fact, the Chinese moved in as the Russians moved out.’ Albania became Peking's principal listening post in the West. Radio and code links were established. Washington strategists decided on the Communist odd man out in the Balkans to launch from its territory an all-out attack on Milosevic's collapsing federation. In Albania lived mercenaries, that hated the Serbs sufficiently to attack Kosovo for free. The trap being prepared for Belgrade resembled in more ways than one way the tricks played on Saddam in Kuwait. Milosevic never ever dreamt of the possibility, that when he signed the order to chase invading Albanians out of his sovereign land, he could possibly end up accused of War Crimes in a prison cell in The Hague. Let alone, that a blood-brother, Zoran Djindjic, would sell him for 1.28 billion dollars to the enemy.

Madeleine Albright, and her accommodating colleagues from France and Britain played a dirty diplomatic game in the French castle of Rambouillet. They presented a so-called peace proposal, that in fact contained a killer clause and was nothing but a prearranged ultimatum. For instance, if accepted, nato troops would be free to move anywhere in Yugoslavia, including its airspace and its territorial waters. No Serb President could ever accept such humiliating conditions. Therefore, the nato was fully prepared for a war that could be started on an hour's notice.

The Yugoslav side had introduced a Revised Draft Agreement at Rambouillet, that neither the media, nor the Russians knew about. It had been kept out of sight by the Conference organizers. The Yugoslavs called a press conference March 18 at 11:00 hours, which was attended by a few journalists. It was too late anyway. The White House and the Donovan boys, had already decided many months before this so-called peace-conference, that Yugoslavia would be brought to its knees, so that traitors like Djindjic could take over, the Pinochet of Yugoslavia.

Noam Chomsky stressed that ‘the hysterical exaggeration of the enemy's unfathomable evil’ by western propaganda attacking Milosevic personally as a second Hitler threatening the very survival of civilisation. It reminded him of a form of holocaust revisionism.⁸² There is nothing more demeaning for a Marxist than to be compared to the Nazi dictator, and whatever can be said of the Yugoslav leader, he was not a Hitler. But, for some dark reason, when Air Force General Curtis LeMay shouts ‘Let's bomb Vietnam back to the Stone Age’, Americans feel that its fine, while he raved like any commander in Göring's Luftwaffe.

When nato began bombing Serbia on March 24, 1999, Tony Blair declared ‘The new generation draws the line.’ nato was finally waging war to defend ‘values (...) the brutal repression of whole ethnic groups will no longer be tolerated (...) those responsible for such crimes have nowhere to hide.’ Bill Clinton spoke in similar terms. Colonel-psychologist Dave Grossman must have told his students at West-Point, ‘Now, at last, nato superiority is leading us to the noble kill.’⁸³

The latest fabrication out of Washington was, that the rich nations were unselfishly risking lives, to fight the very first ‘humanitarian war’ in the history of mankind. In reality they were after Milosevic, just as George Bush Sr. dispatched 36.000 marines to pick up Manuel Noriega in Panama, or as warships and bombers appeared before the coast of Lybia to scare the helI out of Qadaffi, or as 600.000 men were shipped to the Middle East to invade Iraq and make Saddam shit in his pants. This time, however, it was not the Americans by themselves, who behaved like fascists, violating all instruments of international law, but Washington and London managed to drag the entire nato Alliance into their illegal, vigilante adventure to teach Milosevic a lesson. Now they were in reality carrying out what the computer games had told them in Crypto City in Maryland, usa. And, when it was all over, and the smoke over Yugoslav cities had lifted, the nato allies called Milosevic & Co dead easy the true war criminals.

Once more Washington was after a foreign leader that the Donovan boys did not like and did not agree with, just as their fathers had persued Uncle Ho in Hanoi, Sukarno in Indonesia, Sihanouk in Cambodia, Bhutto in Pakistan, and all the others. But in the 60s and 70s it was considered quite normal that the us engaged in massive ethnic clean-

sing in Asia. Carpet bombing of civilian populations, chemical warfare, Agent Orange, assassinating President Diem and his brother, bombing Laos and Cambodia in the absence of a un Resolution, was all considered quite acceptable and necessary for the overall crusade against communism. Allright, it might have been large scale genocide, an Asian holocaust made in usa, but now, all this should be forgotten, according to Blair. A new generation was designing new ways to achieve its goals and serve it's interests. nato was sending supersonic bombers over Serbia and Kosovo at stratospheric heights, that Soviet made sam missiles could not reach them, as long as bridges, television stations, factories and enough people were getting destroyed or killed. Then the Yugoslavs would finally start to hate Milosevic, hasten his demise, so that the West could cry victory again.

In the 60s and 70s voices about us criminal behaviour were being raised by Lord Bertrand Russell, Jean Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir. Today, it is Nelson Mandela, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Samuel Huntington, Ramsey Clark and others who point to Washington as the seat of the world's Rogue Super Power. The offshoot of the Group of Non Aligned Nations, created in Bandung, Indonesia in 1955 by Sukarno is being called in the 21^th century the G-77, which unites 133 countries making up 80 per cent of the world's population. They met in April 2000 in Havana where the so-called right of Clinton, Blair and nato to conduct humanitarian military interventions outside the United Nations was rejected. They called the latest Washington-London invention of war for humanitarian reasons a new form of imperialism in disguise. They likewise condemned globalisation as a derailment of Western capitalist ideology.

Nelson Mandela resented the behaviour of the uk and us to ride roughshod over the un and initiating wars against Irak and Yugoslavia. He told Bill Clinton to his face, during the presidential visit to Pretoria, that it was not for Washington to decide who his friends were. Castro, Arafat and Qaddafi supported South-Africa in the struggle against apartheid. He had no intention to desert his friends, because Clinton did not like them. Never before had an American President been addressed by a foreign head-of-state in such blunt language. Mandela's popularity with us blacks skyrocketed further.

Solzhenitsyn, too, accused Washington of acting in World Affairs as if the United Nations no longer existed. Also, Samuel Huntington observed, as quoted by Chomsky, ‘One reads about the world's desire for American leadership only in the United-States, while everywhere else one reads about American arrogance and American unilateralism.’ There are also lesser American gods, who showed exasperation about the lies and misrepresentations by their Government.

ployee wrote about nato's Alice-in-Wonderland interpretation of why Yugoslavia had to be attacked. ‘nato's version of reality went something like this. The crisis in Kosovo is simply the latest episode in the aggressive drive by extreme Serbian nationalism, orchestrated by Slobodan Milosevic, to create an ethnically pure Greater Serbian State. That aggression, first in Slovenia, then in Croatia, and then in Bosnia, finally came to Kosovo, largely because the West - notably nato - refused to stand up to Milosevic.’ Jatras traces us assistance to the Kosovo Liberation Army to ‘simplistic nato mythology.’ nato credibility would be destroyed if genocide was allowed in the heart of Europe at the dawn of the 21st century. Hence, open warfare was unavoidable. Jatras next explains, that the war of Kosovo was the result of the uck deliberate strategy of turning a political confrontation into a military one. That was, as usual, the standard cia script, popular in Washington since the Bay of Pigs adventure. uck attacks were directed not only at Serbian police and officials but Serbian civilians as weil, deliberately calculated to trigger a massive and largely indiscriminate response by Serbian forces. Who were the no. 1 War Criminals? Washington initiated, armed and directed uck. The Serbs walked into the trap and produced a ruthless response to being attacked by an army of cia mercenaries in disguise. They had no other choice.

Jatras: ‘The Clinton Administration's claim that nato resorted to force only after diplomacy had failed is flatly untrue.’ He continued, ‘The decision to bomb turned Kosovo from a crisis into a disaster, we no longer had a Kosovo policy, we had a uck policy (...). The Clinton Administration elevated to virtually unchallenged status as the legitimate representative of the Kosovo Albaninan people a terrorist group, whose acitivities raise very serious questions about its criminal involvement particularly in the drug trade - and about radical Islamic influences, including those of Osama bin Laden and the Iranians.’⁸⁴

Doug Bandow, a former special assistant to President Reagan, now a senior fellow at the Cato Institute, summed up the ridiculous flaws in the Clinton Administration policy:

1	‘Washington illegally embarked upon a war, in contravention of the us Constitution, the nato Treaty and the un Charter.
2	Clinton and the us allies (shamefully Holland was bamboozled into participating) launched an unprovoked attack on a nation that had threatened no-one, thereby lowering the bar against aggressive war worldwide.
3	Deepened European dependence on America for defense of European interests that have little relevance to America and
4	Put us soldiers at risk without any serious, let alone vital, American interest at stake.’

Clinton and Blair - I wrote to my Prime Minister Wim Kok an urgent letter, ‘Your friends Bill and Tony are behaving like hoodlums’ - were telling the world that their war was based on morality to oppose a vicious campaign of ethnic cleansing, they were lying. In fact nato's war against Serbia illustrated the worst sort of hypocrisy for all the world to see.’⁸⁵

The time of writing, summer 2001, the tragedy on the Balkan is teeter-tottering towards an end which pleases Washington since it meets its expectations in the quest for its next crusade: globalisation. The Tito state is broken up. Barefaced lies, duplicity, and a concoction of manipulated figures of genocide attributed only to the Serbs were used by the us Government, to justify its own war crimes against Yugoslavia, thereby manipulating world public opinion on its side against Milosevic. lts exactly what war criminal Ariel Sharon is doing to Palestinian freedom fighters and Hamas, telling the world that all he is doing is fighting for the security for Jews, while in reality, he is a terrorist in charge of the armed forces an intelligence operations of a fully-fledged, internationally recognized state.

Palestinians are not forgotten the attrocities associated with Sharon in 1953 in Qibya or in 1982 in Sabra and Chatila. Israelis keep complaining as if they alone are the victims of an Arab Jihad. They overlook that their own arrogant Nazi type behavior ignited an uprising, that has become unstoppable. The entire world has now seen stone throwing Palestinian youths who are exposed to the latest array of modern us weapons in return, including rockets, helicopters, F-16's and life bullets.

The Israeli people brought back a man with a terrorist past. He had to leave the Israeli Army because he was found guilty of being responsible for mass murders in Palestinian refugee camps. Carla del Ponte desperately wants to bring Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic to The Hague. Why not Sharon? When cnn shows Colin Powell flanked at a pressconference in Washington by the Israeli Prime Minister and expresses satisfaction that Milosevic had been locked up in The Hague, he looks like a fool, because his honoured guest at his side is himself a first class war criminal.

The criminal behaviour against foreign leaders or nations around the world by the White House is by now so well documented, that one could fill up several Airbuses with outright proven us war criminals to be flown to the International Tribunal in The Hague. In the eyes of Washington, they now have the big trophy of Balkan communism behind bars. But according to Ramsey Clark, Milosevic was systematically deprived of his basic rights by this kangaroo court, which follows orders from the invisible government in Washington. Only American brains could have inspired Carla del Ponte to force Milosevic to receive his wife Mira Markovic via a telephone behind bulletproof glass.

But, America beware, it might be an uphill battle, but the demasqué of the liar who became a thief is in full

progress. At last, people everywhere, are waking up to the notion as to who the real rogues are. If there were no Wild Bill Donovan boys on the loose, there would be no need for Osama bin Laden, de farc in Columbia, a Hamas, a case like that of Mumia Aby-Jamal, or the blowing-up of Flight 103 of Pan Am in Scotland in reaction to the shooting down of an Iranian passenger airbus by the trigger happy captain of a us missile cruiser over international waters. In short, were there no American rogues we would all live in quite a different world.

12 september 2001. Yesterday, this brochure was ready to go to print. But then, September 11, four us passenger planes were hijacked. The World Trade Centre was flattened and the Pentagon severely damaged, two centres of evil in the eyes of Timothy McVeigh and his counter-revolutionary comrades. Some years ago Americans set up a horrific bomb blast in Oklahoma City, the first signal of resistance against the existing evil and terrorist forces of the United States of America, as described here before consisting of the Secret Team, the White House, the cia, the Pentagon and violent criminals as the Donovan boys, multiplied by the worldwide influence and power of Wall Street.

While George Bush II spoke about the evil of human nature and ‘our freedom came under attack’ all eyes in the western part of the world turned to Afghanistan and the Saudi terrorist Osama bin Laden. But we witnessed yesterday an attack by Americans on America. McVeigh's execution by the state has been revenged by those who share his views - among others - after what they lived through and saw what happened in Desert Storm and the continued illegal bombardments against Irak. It is a fact that Muslims around the world entertain similar views on the criminal behaviour of the American secret state. But the architecture of yesterdays war plan against the symbols of American evil in the world, has been the product of American brains, some of them former military men themselves, like McVeigh was. It will take some time before the picture of what happened yesterday will become clear. Washington is liable to take premature action in retaliation, as was done in the case of Sudan, when cruise missiles were fired at a factory, they said was working on biological warfare, and turned out to have been doing nothing of the sort.

Today, September 12, all western television stations agree, it is 99 per cent sure, Osama bin Laden was the devil who designed this plan of death and destruction in his bunker in Afghanistan. I disagree. The lies of Dallas in 1963 were repeated. The nation was told that jfk had been assassinated by one man, Lee Harvey Oswald. That's what the nation wanted to believe and no-one ever found the true perpetrators. The same trick was used after Oklahoma City, Timothy McVeigh had done it all by himself. Yes, he had a few obscure friends, but again, the nation went back to its beauty sleep.
