SOLIDARITY WITH DHKP-C !


On the arrests which took place on April 1st in
various countries of the European Union (EU) and in Turkey
in the framework of an action which has been improperly
defined an "operation against terrorism",
the National Coordination for Yugoslavia (Italy):

- strongly denounces the repression against one of the
historical, best known groups of the Turkish Left, the
Revolutionary People's Liberation Party - Front
(DHKP-C);

- recalls that DHKP-C has always been engaged
in the rightful struggle for the freedom of the own
country and of all oppressed peoples, against fascist and
militar regimes which ruled Turkey, against secret powers
and repressive NATO structures active on that territory, against
the present islamic-prowestern regime, as well as against
the Atlantic Alliance and its terroristic policies, including the
most recent aggression to Irak and the subsequent
colonialist occupation of that country;

- underlines that in the past years DHKP-C and
other connected groups and activities have been mostly
concentrating on campaigns to support Turkish political
prisoners (victims, among others, of tortures, abuses
and murders in the jails) and their families: campaigns
which often consisted in protest actions like the Death Fast,
costing several human lives;

- stresses that this wave of arrests takes place two years
after the official ban of this organization, decided by the EU:
a shameful, unjust decision, which by itself perfectly
illustrates the true reactionary nature of the "Europe" they
want to build.

As far as the Italian scenario is concerned,
the National Coordination for Yugoslavia:

- condemns the press campaign which has been
started together with the arrests to the aim - as usual
for similar unjustified repressive actions - of
creating panic in the public opinion and difficulties
to everybody involved in international solidarity and
the struggle against imperialism, colonialism and war;

- observes that such a "noisy" involvement of the
Campo Antimperialista in this action follows months
of press campaigns which have been filled with
journalistic desinformations, both in their method as well
as in their contents. The objective is to scare and to
split the movement which has been opposing the war,
by throwing slander on those components which
expressed explicit support to the rightful Iraqi
resistance or, simply and consequently, called for
the withdrawal of all Italian troops from Iraq. To deform
and to misuse the polemic discussions which arose
within the anti-imperialist movement (also with regard
to some choices of the Campo Antimperialista), as
somebody did, is nothing but a method of strategic
desinformation.

The National Coordination for Yugoslavia (Italy)
appeals to all those willing to express their
opposition to the war, to take action:

- for the immediate liberation of all arrested;
- for the abolition of all antidemocratic measures taken
by UE institutions against the Turkish Left;
- for the immediate stop to any Italian involvement
in the military occupation and pillage of Iraq.

Re: March 29, 9:00PM: CBC's "The National - Carol Off's documentary "Of
Crimes and Courage"
To Whom It May Concern:

As a Canadian and a taxpayer whose money is supporting your programs, I
must say that I am shocked and outraged at the coverage and perspective
CBC is presenting concerning the recent terrorist attacks in Kosovo. 
All recent reports from NATO, KFOR, and UNMIK confirm that Albanian
extremists are attacking and ethnically cleansing Serb minorities in
the region. 

Since violence broke out on March 17, 2004 over 4,000 people have been
driven out of their homes by Albanian extremists, and villages of
ethnic minorities have been raided and burned to the ground.  In three
days, over 35 ancient Christian churches and monasteries were destroyed
by Albanian mobs in a rage of Islamic fanaticism.  It is clear that
ethnic cleansing is being used as a political tool by Albanian
extremists in an attempt to gain independence of Kosovo.

The CBC owes it to their Canadian viewers to portray the truth about
the brutality and ethnic cleansing being committed by Albanian
terrorists.  It is very disappointing that the network is not providing
accurate information and is therefore inadvertently supporting
terrorists by showing the aggressors as the victims. I think it is
despicable that, at a time when the minority Serbian population of
Kosovo is being ethnically cleansed from the region, the CBC would air
a clearly biased program depicting Serbs as criminals.

To air a program that demonizes the Serbian people at a time when they
have been subjected to Albanian terrorist attacks is shameful.  The
fact that CBC has never aired a program about the Serbian victims (even
though there have been over 500,000 Serbian refugees in the past 8
years) is in itself, a mark of CBC's unfortunate prejudice.  How else
can anyone assume CBC's programs are not systematic propaganda
campaigns which target and portray Serbian people in general as
criminals, rapists and murderers.  Although over 220,000 Serbian people
have been cleansed from Kosovo and over a thousand killed in the last 5
years alone, CBC is airing programs which portray Serbs as the
aggressors.  

Criminal Code of Canada states under

Section 318: Advocating Genocide:
The criminal act of "advocating genocide" is defined as supporting or
arguing for the killing of members of an "identifiable group" - persons
distinguished by their colour, race, religion or ethnic origin.

Section 319(1): Public Incitement of Hatred
The crime of "publicly inciting hatred" has four main elements. To
contravene the Code, a person must:

·       communicate statements,
·       in a public place,
·       incite hatred against an identifiable group,
·       in such a way that there will likely be a breach of the peace.

Under section 319, "communicating" includes communicating by telephone,
broadcasting or other audible or visible means; a "public place" is one
to which the public has access by right or invitation, express or
implied; and "statements" means words (spoken, written or recorded),
gestures, and signs or other visible representations.

Unless the CBC does more to portray the actual terrorism occurring in
Kosovo, the true ethnic cleansing of minorities by Albanian extremists,
and the destruction and horror occurring in the region, the viewers can
only assume that CBC's anti-Serbian programs are carefully planned to
publicly incite hatred against the Serbs. By simply reading the
aforementioned four bullet points, one can unfortunately recognize your
programs in the last two of them.

Please advise what the CBC is willing to do in order to demonstrate its
objectivity regarding the current situation in Kosovo, and to show that
the CBC is not discriminating against Serbs, and is not inciting
anti-Serbianism. May I suggest that you start by airing a documentary
about Serbian refugees from Kosovo and/or Croatia, who were forced to
leave their homes and are currently living in Canada with many of the
people who have terrorized their family and friends.

I look forward to receiving a response from you on this matter in the
near future.

Sincerely,
VASE IME

Discrimination against ethnic Serbs in Croatia
During the conflict that took place in Croatia in the first half of the
1990s, an estimated 300,000 Serbs were forced to flee their homes, many
heading to temporary accommodation in Serbia or Bosnia. Since then,
Croatian governments have repeatedly promised that Serbs who want to
return to the country will not be discriminated against. The reality,
however, is that many Serbs who come back to their former communities
face policies which clearly favour ethnic Croatians.

NATO Sees Specter of Ethnic Cleansing in Kosovo
PRISTINA, Serbia and Montenegro (Reuters) - NATO troops raided
apartment blocks in a flashpoint Kosovo town on Friday after two days
of mass violence the alliance said verged on "ethnic cleansing" of
Serbs by majority Albanians.

"There are not many (ethnic) minorities left in Kosovo -- 220,000 have
fled since 1999. We don't want to see any more go," UNHCR spokesman Ron
Redmond told a news conference in Geneva.

Ethnic cleansing, smuggling rampant under UN's aegis
Isabel Vincent, National Post

Four years after it was "liberated" by a NATO bombing campaign, Kosovo
has deteriorated into a hotbed of organized crime, anti-Serb violence
and al-Qaeda sympathizers, say security officials and Balkan experts

[ "La religione e' l'oppio dei popoli". Nei Balcani come in altri
contesti di guerra, questa definizione marxiana riceve ogni giorno
drammatiche conferme. Anche le organizzazioni dei Serbi del Kosovo, in
molti loro appelli diffusi in queste drammatiche giornate, invocano
l'aiuto di Dio. Ed insieme a questo, guarda caso, spesso invocano anche
l'aiuto dell'ONU e della NATO. E allora, che dire? Buona fortuna... ]


Marksova definicija religije

Dobili smo Apel Omladine Kosmeta: to izgleda kao zivi dokaz Marksove
definicije religije. Ovoj omladini u neprijateljskom okruzenju
ozloglasenog modernog djihada i ekonomije terora, ostaje jos samo vera
u boga.
Da podsetimo da je prema nemackoj sluzbi za suzbijanje
sverca droge 1998. na Kosovu u nekih 200 privatnih banaka i
menjacnica oprano 1.5 milijardi dolara ciste zarade od sverca droge. I
dodamo da Albanija sa 70% muslimanskog stanovnistva predstavlja ocit
primer islamske finansijske kolonizacije.
Evo citat general-pukovnika po imenu Hameed Gul, koji radi za ISI,
tajnu pakistansku policiju:

"Vodimo djihad i ovo ( poraz sovjetske armije u Avganistanu) jeste
prva Islamska internacionalna brigada u vremenu sadasnjem. Komunisti su
imali svoje brigade, Zapad ima svoj NATO pakt, pa sto onda muslimani ne
bi ujedinili snage u jedinstven front." (Modern Jihad, Tracing the
Dollars Behind the Terror Networks; L. Napoleoni, pluto press, London
2003).

Preostaje nam jos samo Marksov citat da razumemo omladinu Kosmeta:

"Vera u boga je vapaj napacene duse. U beznadju, ona je dusa i srce u
svetu bez srca i duse. Vera u boga je opijum za narod." (Karl Marx)
