Art, Truth and Politics
(Harold Pinter)

This is the text of the lecture to be given by Harold Pinter when he
receives the 2005 Nobel Prize for literature on Saturday. Forbidden by
doctors from going to Stockholm to receive the £720,000 prize, the
ailing playwright and poet has delivered his speech by video. (...) The
invasion of Iraq was a bandit act, an act of blatant state terrorism,
demonstrating absolute contempt for the concept of international law.
The invasion was an arbitrary military action inspired by a series of
lies upon lies and gross manipulation of the media and therefore of the
public; an act intended to consolidate American military and economic
control of the Middle East masquerading – as a last resort – all other
justifications having failed to justify themselves – as liberation. A
formidable assertion of military force responsible for the death and
mutilation of thousands and thousands of innocent people...

Harold Pinter’s Nobel Prize speech: a brave artist speaks the truth
about US imperialism
(Barry Grey, WSWS)

British playwright Harold Pinter, this year’s Nobel laureate for
literature, delivered a passionate, truthful and courageous acceptance
speech to the Swedish Academy on Wednesday. The renowned author of such
plays as The Homecoming and The Caretaker, Pinter has spoken out
tirelessly and powerfully against the war in Iraq and the depredations
of American imperialism in the Balkans, Central America and elsewhere
that preceded it...

Here is what Michael Billington, the Guardian's theatre critic wrote
about Pinter's lecture:
"This was a man delivering an attack on American foreign policy, and
Britain's subscription to it, with a controlled anger and a deadly
irony. And, paradoxically, it reminded us why Pinter is such a
formidable dramatist. He used every weapon in his theatrical technique
to reinforce his message. And, by the end, it was as if Pinter himself
had been physically recharged by the moral duty to express his
innermost feelings."

Harold Pinter takes on Nato


One of the UK's most important playwrights, Harold
Pinter has challenged audiences around the world since
his play The Birthday Party first hit London in 1958.
He has become increasingly outspoken about the issues
of the day and now talks to BBC HARDtalk about his
current concerns over the Kosovo crisis.


"This Nato action is not only illegal, immoral, and
also crazy and infantile, it will achieve absolutely
nothing," says Harold Pinter.

The playwright, who describes himself as "a bit of an
old warrior", has been speaking out on human rights
issues since the overthrow of Chile's President
Allende back in the 1970s, and how he is standing his
ground over the crisis in the Balkans.

Angry at Nato's intervention, Pinter claims "the
plight of the Kosovo people is irrelevant to the US
and the UK".

Instead he says the two nations are more interested in
"domination and assertion of power", and are pursuing
a course which will "only agravate the misery and the
horror and devastate the country".

Such outspoken views have seen Pinter attacked by the
British press, but he remains determined to have his
say.

"I live in a very hostile press world because I speak
my mind," he says. "The tradition for artists in
Britain is to shut up and write."

But Pinter feels that as British citizen he has an
"obligation" to speak out about the bombing, "Not as
an artist, but as a man," he adds.

The playwright Harold Pinter told an anti-war
demonstration that he was ashamed to be British
because of Nato's bombing of Yugoslavia.

At the gathering of more than 6,000 marchers in a park
next to the Imperial War Museum in London on Saturday,
he described the current peace talks as a sham, and
claimed that the war had been totally unwarranted.

Standing in the shadow of the two l5 inch naval guns
that sit at the entrance to the museum, the playwright
threw his words out like stones, each of them aimed at
the Labour government.

'I am sure those people here today who voted the
Labour party into power share the same feeling - a
deep sense of shame, the shame of being British.

'Little did we think two years ago that we had elected
a government which would take a leading role in what
is essentially a criminal act, showing total contempt
for the United Nations and international law."

Pinter said Britain's leaders had been engaging in
despicable hypocrisy, and he contrasted Tony Blair's
calling the nail bombing of a bar in Old Compton
Street, Soho, "barbaric", with his defending the
cluster bombs dropped on Yugoslavia as "civilization
against barbarism".

These clusterbombs cut children to pieces and this is
an act which takes place 15,000ft 'under 'those brave
bombers. An act which Mr Blair, with his moralistic
Christianity applauds," Pinter said.

"Let us face the truth. The truth is that neither
Clinton nor Blair gives a damn about the Kosovar
Albanians. This action has been yet another blatant
and brutal assertion of US power using Nato as its
missile. It set out to consolidate one thing -
American domination of Europe. This must be fully
recognised and it must be resisted."

The march, which began at the Embankment, had been
organised by the Committee for Peace in the Balkans
before the peace talks began.

The organisers went ahead with the protest because
they said it was 'obscene" that the bombing was
continuing.

Carrying anti-Nato flags, target placards and crosses
with the name of the civilian dead in Serbia and
Kosovo, as well as trade unions, banners, the marchers
chanted anti-war slogans and demanded that money be
spent on welfare rather than warfare.

The march coincided with a number of other anti-war
marches around the world, including one outside the
Pentagon in Washington, which sent messages of
support.

A rally in Glasgow was addressed by the Labour MP for
Linlithgow Tam Dalyell, Alice Mahon the Labour MP for
Halifax, told the London crowd that the real US
objective in the war was the occupation of Yugoslavia,
a country which had "resisted 72 days of criminal
bombardment".

She said that what she had learned was that Nato could
now destroy any country from l0,000ft in the air and
the only way smaller countries could defend themselves
would be to obtain nuclear weapons.

The Committee for Peace in the Balkans intends to
continue its work when the bombing has stopped," she
said. "We are not going to stop until justice is done.



Comment in Socialist Review
June 1999


When the bomb went off in Old Compton Street, Mr Blair
described it as a barbaric act. When cluster bombs go
off in Serbian marketplaces, cutting children into
pieces, we are told that such an act is being taken on
behalf of 'civilisation against barbarism'.

Mr Blair is clearly having a wonderful time. But if
Britain remains America's poodle, she is now a vicious
and demented poodle.

The Nato action is in breach of its own charter and
outside all recognised parameters of international
law. Nato is destroying the infrastructure of a
sovereign state, murdering hundreds of civilians,
creating widespread misery and desolation, and doing
immeasurable damage to the environment.

Underneath the demonisation and the hysteria, there is
an agenda. What is it? It is certainly not what it
purports to be.

Neither Clinton nor Blair gives a damn about the
Kosovan Albanians, despite their tears. This action is
yet another brutal and blatant assertion of US power,
using Nato as its missile.

This "new aggressive" Nato is helping to fulfil one
thing and one thing only-American domination of
Europe. The true danger to world peace is not former
Yugoslavia, but the United States.

Attacks leave two injured in Kosovo


KOSOVSKA MITROVICA – Dejan Maksimovic and Branislav
Antovic where injured in two armed attacks in Kosovska
Mitrovica late last night.

An unidentified shooter fired through the window the
Maksimovic family home and wounded Dejan Maksimovic’s
leg. The attacker fled from the scene and no one else
was injured.

In the second incident, Branislav Antovic was shot
several times while working the overnight security
shift at the Vodovod Ibar public parking grounds, and
was taken to the Kosovska Mitrovica Hospital where
doctors operated on him last night. Maksimovic is
receiving treatment at the hospital as well.

“Antovic was shot twice in the stomach, several of his
internal organs were damaged and he was bleeding
heavily. A four hour operation was done and he is
currently is stable but critical condition. Dejan
Maksimovic was shot in the shin. The injuries are
serious, but he is stable.” Milan Ivanovic, deputy
director of the Kosovska Mitrovica Hospital, said.

Maksimovic told Beta that the attacker shot at him
from the terrace of his own apartment. He said that he
was watching television in the room in which his
parents were sleeping.

“I heard steps and sounds coming from the terrace and
went out to see what it was. I saw a silhouette of a
person holding something in their hands. I could not
see anything in the dark. I then went back towards the
room and heard the shots.” Maksimovic said.

The police have yet to give a statement regarding the
attacks and investigations are ongoing.

Violence “will not be tolerated”

US Office Chief in Pristina, Philip Goldberg, said
that disorder or violence in any form will not be
tolerated in Kosovo.

“We are clear in the principles which the Contact
Group has introduced when Kosovo is in question, and
NATO, along with the international and Kosovo police
forces, will do everything to prevent any eventual
violence in Kosovo.” Goldberg said, adding that
“Absolute security cannot be guaranteed in the US,
much less in Kosovo.”

A message to the Serbs

Goran Bogdanovic, member of Belgrade’s Kosovo status
discussion team, has condemned the attacks and said
that they represent a message that Serbs are not
wanted in this Kosovo city.

“I am not going to prejudge who could be responsible
for the attacks while the police and institutions have
yet to make any official statements, but there are
many indications as to where the attacks could be
coming from. We know who has pointed fingers at
Kosovska Mitrovica thus far. We know who has, on
several occasions, tried to cross into northern
Kosovska Mitrovica from the southern region, and last
night’s attack is just another attempt to try and
destabilize the only larger city in Kosovo where there
are still Serbs living and has remained multi-ethnic.”
Bogdanovic said, keeping his statement ambiguous.

He said that last night’s attacks, other more recent
attacks on Serbs in Strpac, the turning off of
electricity going to Serbian villages in Kosovo, all
have one goal in mind; to demoralize the Serbian
community and get them thinking about leaving,
coincidentally, at the same time that discussions for
the future status of Kosovo are set to begin.

RIA Novosti: Kosovska Mitrovica Saw Another Act of Violence against
Serbs


Belgrade - A rally will be held Tuesday in the
northern region of Kosovska Mitrovica inhabited by
Serbs in Kosovo, in protest against the armed assault
on two citizens of Serbian nationality, RIA Novosti
reports.

The rally will be called under the motto ‘Against
Albanian terror and violence on Serbs’.

The occasion that has led to the calling of the
protest is the assault against two Serbs – Dejan
Maksimovic and Branislav Antonovic by unknown
attackers, as a result of which both of them have been
left with heavy gunfire wounds.

After a surgical intervention the condition of one of
the victims remains endangered.

The local police are investigating the case.

16/12/2005

SARAJEWO/MAYEN (Compte-rendu de la rédaction) - Des opérations
psychologiques d'une unité de propagande de la Bundeswehr (armée
allemande) provoquent des rivalités entre les forces d'occupation
européennes. Les troupes étrangères entretiennent des unités spéciales
pour des informations ouvertes (« blanches ») et secrètes (« noires »).
Le but est de stabiliser le régime d'occupation qui vient d'être mis
sous l'autorité d'un ancien ministre allemand - Christian
Schwarz-Schilling. Cet expert des médias a été membre de conseils
d'administration de plusieurs entreprises douteuses et veut soumettre
"les slaves" aux "principes européens". Parmi ces principes il
semblerait qu'on compte aussi le partage des prébendes gérées par
Schwarz-Schilling: L'armée britannique vient en effet de demander le
retrait des soldats allemands des postes dirigeants qu'ils occupent
dans ces opérations psychologiques contre la population bosniaque - des
perspectives géopolitiques sont en jeu. Ces disputes menacent les
projets de médias - dirigés par l'armée - qui comptent parmi ceux qui
ont le plus de succès en Bosnie-Herzégovine.

Attitude positive

La pomme de discorde qui divise les puissances d'occupation d'EUFOR est
la "branche d'opérations psychologiques" (PsyOps), qui dirige les
mesures psychologiques. On attribue à ces campagnes PsyOps une grande
importance pour le maintien du statut d'occupation de la
Bosnie-Herzégovine. Comme la Bundeswehr vient de le communiquer, un des
buts des campagnes PsyOps est de créer une "attitude positive (...)
dans la population" en faveur des armées d'occupation. Leurs "actions"
dans le pays auraient aussi besoin du "soutien" offert par les mesures
de propagande militaires [1], pour pouvoir détecter et réprimer toute
résistance avant qu'elle ne prenne de l'ampleur.

Détection rapide

L'unité Psy-Ops en Bosnie-Herzégovine est considérée comme ayant
beaucoup de succès, elle dispose entre autre de ses propres journaux et
magazines ainsi que de la station de radio "Radio Mir", qui est une des
plus connues du pays. Les médias PsyOps s'orientent à des "études de
marché", qui sont basées sur des enquêtes sur la population bosniaque
faites par des soldats d'occupation habillés en civil. "Les résultats
ont une influence sur les campagnes (de PsyOps) et on détecte plus tôt
d'éventuels problèmes dans le pays", déclare un soldat allemand de la
section d'analyse de PsyOps.[2] Des informations partielles des
militaires sont aussi mises à la disposition de la mission policière de
l'Union européenne.

Direction de la campagne

Dans la "Branche d'opérations psychologiques" les soldats de la
Bundeswehr de la "troupe pour des informations opératives" (OpInfo,
Mayen, Rhénanie-Palatinat) ont le plus d'influence. Ainsi un soldat
allemand est le rédacteur en chef du titre phare de PsyOps, le magazine
pour les jeunes "Mirko", qui avec un tirage de 160000 exemplaires est
le magazine le mieux vendu en Bosnie-Herzégovine. Presque tous les
jeunes de Bosnie-Herzégovine le connaîtraient et 75% d'entre eux
seraient "très satisfait de Mirko, d'après les résultats d'un sondage",
a déclaré la Bundeswehr.[3] Une analyse des activités de PsyOps révèle
que chaque numéro de ce magazine a servi "à soutenir les objectifs des
campagnes PsyOps". Le magazine serait « un excellent moyen pour établir
un dialogue entre les équipes tactiques de PsyOps et la population
adulte de la Bosnie - à travers les intérêts de leurs enfants.[4]

PSK

Les qualités de guerre psychologique allemande ont une réputation
internationale depuis que la Wehrmacht Nazie équipait, lors de la
seconde guerre mondiale, ses compagnies de propagande (PK) de moyens
techniques et scientifiques.[5] L'infiltration subversive par des
médias de tous genres était souvent fatal pour les forces de résistance
dans l'Europe occupée.[6] Les unités psychologiques nazies arrivaient à
attiser des conflits ethniques, à recruter des travailleurs étrangers
avec des fausses promesses où à inciter des soldats ennemis à la
désertion. Berlin consacrait une partie du travail des PK à la
propagande de haine antisémite, ce qui coûtait la vie à des centaines
de milliers de juifs. Seulement quelques années après la fin de la
guerre des spécialistes PK survivants mirent leur savoir-faire à la
disposition des unités psychologiques de la Bundeswehr. Des antisémites
notoires du "Reichssicherheitshauptamt", qui avaient aussi appelé à
tuer des officiers soviétiques, travaillaient par la suite pour la
"section de guerre psychologique" ("Psychologische Kriegführung", PSK),
dans l'Allemagne d'après-guerre. Autrefois comme aujourd'hui, les
centrales Psy-War sont installées dans la région de Mayen
(Rhénanie-Palatinat).

Rivalités entre occupants

Les missions psychologiques de la Bundeswehr, qui sont de plus en plus
raffinés, et qui ont même occasionnés des écoutes et des surveillances
en Allemagne même, comptent après la guerre de l'OTAN contre la
Yougoslavie, parmi les plus performantes de l'alliance atlantique. Pour
assurer le succès de PsyOps dans le long terme, aussi après un possible
retrait des troupes, il était prévu de transférer l'appareil militaire
des médias à une gestion civile. Ceci a provoqué des disputes entre les
participants. La Grande-Bretagne demande d'avoir plus d'influence et
menace de tout bloquer: Au cas où les Allemands ne seraient pas près à
un compromis, les opérations médiatiques ("Influence sur la
population") pourraient être bloquées par Londres et ainsi ne pas
apporter à Berlin les effets escomptés.[7]

Dépôt de bilan

En même temps que Berlin et Londres se disputent, Christian
Schwarz-Schilling devient le nouveau "Haut Représentant" du
protectorat. L'ancien ministre allemand de la poste et des
télécommunications a été, après son départ en retraite, membre de
plusieurs conseils d'administration d'entreprises qui lui ont versé des
honoraires de plusieurs centaines de milliers d'Euro et qui par la
suite ont dû déposer leur bilan (Aubis, Gigabell).[8] Selon l'opinion
de la presse économique allemande, l'affaire de l'entreprise Gigabell
ne donne pas une très bonne image de son conseil d'administration. Le
président du conseil d'administration de Gigabell était Christian
Schwarz-Schilling.[9]

Juste le moment

M. Schwarz-Schilling est d'avis que "sur les Balkans" vivent "les
slaves" qui y côtoient "sur un espace très étroit" des "descendants des
turcs et des hongrois etc.". "C'est vraiment un chaudron bouillonnant,
si on ne le remet pas en ordre", pense le nouveau représentant de l'UE
et conseille de "vraiment introduire là-bas des valeurs européennes,
des principes européens". Au cas ou "les Balkans" ne devraient pas
accepter leurs "perspectives de vie" ("nécessité absolue"), la région
risquerait de devenir une "zone de transit pour la contrebande, la
mafia, des bandes militaires etc., comme on peut déjà l'observer en
Amérique du Sud. Cela arrivera, si on ne remet pas tout en ordre à
temps. Maintenant est juste le moment pour le faire. Il faut en
profiter".[10]
