A P P E A L OF BELGRADE FORUM REGARDING AMERICAN THREATS TO IRAQ

A P P E A L
TO THE DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY
REGARDING AMERICAN THREATS TO IRAQ
In Belgrade October 28, 2002

The Belgrade Forum for the World of Equals, whose design is to
promote and advance the ideas of peace, understanding, equality in
international relations, democratic standards and human rights of
people, is expressing tremendous concern for the increase of
direct and unjustified threats of war against Iraq by the United
States of America. By this Appeal to the domestic and
international community, the Belgrade Forum would like to expose
the motives and far reaching consequences of such a potential
aggression.
Threats of attack on Iraq are justified by the American
Administration, as Iraq ostensibly either produces or possesses
weapons of mass destruction which represent a threat to its
security. Reacting to these threats, the Iraqi Government has
recently decided to accept the unconditional return of United
Nations inspectors, who have been permitted, without any
limitations in the discharge of their duties, to personally
convince themselves on the justification or iniquity of such
American assertions. This, however, has not dissuaded the American
Administration, which is thriving forward with ever greater
pressures and preparations for an armed aggression against Iraq,
the same being devoid of consent by the Security Council of the
United Nations whose member states, for the most part, are
endeavouring for a peaceful settlement of the dispute with Iraq in
the spirit of the Charter of the UN.
Such behaviour factually proves that the American Administration
is not interested in the ascertainment of truth in allegations of
manufacture or possession of weapons for mass destruction, since
the same is not the prime aim of its foreign policy and overall
strategy. It is, in fact, only searching for an excuse for an
armed aggression against Iraq, led entirely by wider interests and
aims of America as the sole global power. We are speaking of
Americas desire to apply force in the liquidation of the current
Iraqi regime, which is judged to be "disobedient". She is, as in
the former aggression against Yugoslavia, in the want to
demonstrate that an identical or similar fate awaits every country
which, by her standards, is placed in the category of "renegade"
states, ones who do not accept the American concept of the New
World Order, ie, her domination of the same.
In fact, behind such warlike policies of America towards Iraq,
stand her interests and aspirations in the attestation of her
status as the sole remaining superpower, to distinctly and ever
more solidify her position in this strategically important region
of the Near and Middle East, and more important still, to place
under control the enormous reserves of Iraqi oil. By such actions
America is aspiring to secure the further strengthening of her
position in all strategically important regions of the world, to
impose marionette regimes in the same, and to place under control
the most important sources of raw materials and energy, as well as
strategic lines of communication. All this represents the basis of
a new, recently completed, American security doctrine, with
aspirations towards hegemony and domination.
Encouragement is to be found that in certain countries, including
the United States, a rise in voices can be heard against American
war plans and threats against Iraq. These plans, objectively,
expose a policy which today represents one of the greatest dangers
against peace, security and stability of the international
community. Comprehension is daily transcending that aggression
against Iraq would, besides large numbers of human casualties,
destruction and enormous sufferings of the Iraqi people,
undoubtably represent a severe setback in international relations,
peace and stability in the world. It would severely inflame the
already complex relations between the West and the Muslim world,
additionally destabilize the conditions in the Middle East,
worsening the already tragic position of the Palestinian people.
The aggression would also pave the way for further acts of
lawlessness and despotism of world powers in the broad
international arena, with a real risk of provoking wider
international conflicts with unforeseeable consequences on
humanity. Such a war would further provoke deep disarrangement and
instability in international economic and financial relations,
whose negative consequences would additionally worsen the
position, above all, of developing countries, as well as other
less developed ones.
We, however, wish to believe that common sense is at last
prevailing, and that the aggression against Iraq will be averted.
On the basis of the above said, the Belgrade Forum is herewith
inviting the domestic and international community, in the spirit
of anti-war actions organized in certain parts of Europe and
America, to firmly raise its voice against American war plans
against Iraq and against the policy of force in international
relations. It would analogously necessitate the engagement of all
peaceful and democratic forces of the world in the rehabilitation
and full affirmation of an independent and impartial role of the
United Nations as guardian of world peace and security. That would
be an important supposition for the curtailment of any attempts in
the application of force in international relations, contrary to
the letter and spirit of the Charter of the United Nations, for
the strict respect of the basic principles of international law,
especially principles of sovereignty, independence and non
interference in the domestic policies of countries. The removal of
threats of war against Iraq and peace in the world would make a
tremendous contribution to Iraq its self and its consistent
respect of relevant resolutions of the Security Council pertaining
to the discharge of the mandate of international inspectors for
control of weapons of mass destruction.
Taking into consideration the tragic consequences which the people
of Yugoslavia experienced in unjustified sanctions and brutal
aggression, the Belgrade Forum is expressing its support and
solidarity with the Iraqi people who have also been exposed to
long term sanctions, whose victims have been civilians, especially
children and elderly people. For these reasons the Belgrade Forum
is calling upon the domestic and international community to
consistently engage themselves towards the Security Council and
for the imminent termination of unjustified sanctions against the
Iraqi people, as well as for the termination of the illegal and
completely unjustified permanent bombing of Iraq. From the
international community, and especially the United Nations, we
expect provisions for the Iraqi people in the strict application
of its right to solely decide its fate and to live in peace and
freedom, like any other people.

PRESS RELEASE
OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE TO DEFEND SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC

Yesterday, November 5th, the International Committee to Defend
Slobodan Milosevic (ICDSM), the official support group for
Slobodan Milosevic, faxed a motion to the ICTY. Today ICDSM
Vice-Chairman Nico Varkevisser hand-delivered the motion to the
ICTY. The main text of the motion is printed below. We have
submitted this motion because the ICTY's egregious mistreatment
of Mr. Milosevic has led to a health crisis that threatens his
life.

The motion can be read in full and downloaded at
http://emperor.vwh.net/icdsm/motion.htm

We will fax a full copy to any reporter who requests it.

The main text of the motion follows.

Excerpts from:

AMICUS CURIAE REQUEST

MOTION FOR URGENT SPECIALIZED MEDICAL ATTENTION AND PROVISIONAL
RELEASE FOR SLOBODAN MILOSEVIC

The ICDSM (International Committee to Defend Slobodan
Milosevic), a non-profit, non-governmental organisation, seeks
leave to make submissions necessary for a proper determination
of the case, pursuant to article 74 of the Rules of Procedure
and Evidence of the ICTY;

The Chamber has already afforded amicus curiae status to
outside counsel to assist it, stating that it has done so as a
result of President Milosevic's written decision not to retain
defence counsel, and with the objective of ensuring a fair
trial as well as a proper determination of the case;

The two remaining amici appointed by the Chamber have not
adequately pursued the crucial issue of the accused's serious
medical condition, nor have they secured the basic conditions
and facilities required for the preparation of his defence;

Slobodan Milosevic is exercising his most fundamental right to
defend himself in person, yet his health is threatened by the
hectic trial schedule. He has been exhausted attempting to
attain the "equality of arms" against a powerful prosecution
determined to adduce vast quantities of documentation of all
types, large portions of which are not relevant to specific
counts in the indictments. On November 1st, 2002, Slobodan
Milosevic suffered an episode of a rapid rise in blood
pressure, due to his condition of malignant hypertension, which
has been exacerbated by long days of hearings without
appropriate rest, and accumulated months of hearings.

The ICDSM seeks leave to request this Trial Chamber to adjourn
proceedings to provide Slobodan Milosevic with the specialized
health care he requires. He should obtain this medical
attention from practitioners familiar with his condition, in
Belgrade. The ICDSM also requests that following Slobodan
Milosevic's complete convalescence the Trial Chamber follow the
medical recommendations provided to it by its own appointed
medical practitioners. In addition, the ICDSM requests that the
Trial Chamber order the provisional release of Slobodan
Milosevic so that he may properly exercise his right to the
equality of arms in the conditions and with the facilities
required under international law. The provisional release
requested would be for President Milosevic, subject to any
conditions and guarantees deemed appropriate by the Trial
Chamber, to be permitted to prepare his trial in a
non-custodial residence in The Hague.

Mr. Milosevic is suffering from two significant medical
conditions, malignant hypertension and angina pectoris, which
have been brought to the Chamber's attention by a medical
concilium having examined him by order of the Chamber itself.
Malignant hypertension is aggravated by stress. Untreated, the
mortality rate is elevated: only 25% of patients survive one
year.

The Chamber has ordered that Mr Milosevic be examined. The
medical practitioners appointed accordingly provided the judges
with conclusions and recommendations with respect to the
deterioration of Mr. Milosevic's state of health as a result of
the grueling trial schedule and exorbitant effort that he is
obliged to provide in order to mount his defence.

The Trial Chamber then stated that it would not adopt the
medical recommendations "literally", but rather, " as far as
the spirit is concerned". In reality, however, the trial
schedule has remained generally long, hectic, and exhausting
for Slobodan Milosevic.

In fact, pressure on the defendant had recently increased.
Until the Chamber's announcement that Slobodan Milosevic had
complained of exhaustion, the Chamber now frequently sat for
full days, having abandoned its previous practice, following
Mr. Milosevic's illness, of sitting for shorter half-day
sessions. Mr. Milosevic was spending his lunch break in a
basement with access to a sandwich for nourishment. It would
have been impossible to argue that Slobodan Milosevic was
receiving a treatment in any way compatible to the "spirit" of
medical recommendations made to this Chamber.

The "spirit" of the medical recommendations made to the
Chamber, it is submitted, was to reduce the stress and strain
incurred by Mr. Milosevic as a result of his overwhelming
efforts to prepare and face a trial of exceptional magnitude.
To have skirted the medical recommendations was to ignore
rather than adopt their "spirit", to have continued hearings at
the previous rhythm threatened Slobodan Milosevic's life.

The Chamber did not consider itself bound to adopt the medical
recommendations made with respect to a potentially fatal
medical condition, and the inevitable occurred: Slobodan
Milosevic was pushed to the limit of exhaustion.

Slobodan Milosevic has received over 100 000 pages of documents
and 600 video cassettes from the Prosecutor as disclosure of
evidence pursuant to the relevant provisions of the Rules.
Given the massive disclosure of evidence received by Mr
Milosevic, he is now under more strain than he was when the
medical recommendations were made.

For instance, on several trial days, Mr. Milosevic has had to
choose between walking outside for fresh air or eating a meal.
Whatever option Slobodan Milosevic chooses will be detrimental:
he will attempt to prepare his trial without having eaten, or
he will prepare it without a minimum of fresh air. Either way
his rights are violated. This astonishing state of affairs
presents a serious threat to his health, and increases his
level of stress, which is a trigger of his heart condition.

Mr Milosevic has yet to receive specialized cardio-vascular
care, which he requires. The Freedom Association has previously
filed a medical report from Mr. Milosevic's personal physician,
Colonel Zdravko M. Mijailovic, MD, PhD, who was allowed to
observe the examinations of the ICTY-appointed medical
practitioners. Dr Mijailovic stated that Mr. Milosevic's
condition of arterial hypertension exponentially increased the
"risk of fatal incidents (brain stroke, acute myocardial
infarct (sic) , hear (sic) arrest, ...)". Dr Mijailovic further
recommended a number a number of specialized interventions and
examinations to attempt a stabilization of Mr. Milosevic's
condition.

If Slobodan Milosevic's trial and prison conditions remain
unchanged, there is a real likelihood of fatality. Denial of
medical care is a violation of the International Covenant on
Civil and Political Rights and may constitute torture. Hearings
have been suspended since November 1st 2002, so that parties
may provide recommendations to the Chamber with respect to the
continuation of the proceedings.

The ICDSM asks to:

GRANT it amicus curiae status; GRANT an immediate adjournment
of the trial for medical examinations and specialized treatment
under the care and supervision of President Milosevic's
personal physician, Colonel Zdravko M. Mijailovic, MD, PhD in
Belgrade and any other specialist chosen by the defendant or
his practitioner; AFFORD Slobodan Milosevic with the
specialized medical care he requires; GRANT an additonal
adjournment for the complete recovery of the defendant under
medical supervision and care; APPLY, with immediate effect, all
medical recommendations with respect to the trial schedule;
GRANT provisional release to the defendant, Slobodan Milosevic,
following his convalescence, subject to such conditions or
guarantees as may be deemed appropriate; OR VARY the conditions
of detention of the accused, Slobodan Milosevic, following his
convalescence, to a non-custodial setting in The Hague, with
such security, conditions or guarantees as deemed appropriate.

Date: Tue, 5 Nov 2002 23:05:30 +0100
From: "Vladimir Krsljanin" <vlada@...>



Belgrade, November 5.
Acting president of the Socialist Party of Serbia
and Chairman of the SLOBODA (Freedom) Association
Bogoljub Bjelica met this afternoon, on his
request, with Yugoslav President Vojislav
Kostunica.
Main issue of their conversation was protection of
life and health of President Slobodan Milosevic,
detained for more than 16 months at The Hague.
Medical doctors warn that nine months of trial
with unprecedented rhythm in history put
Milosevic's life at stake. He is under constant
risk of heart attack or stroke.
Two politicians discussed the current dramatic
situation that produced adjourn in the trial,
after sudden extreme increase of Milosevic's blood
pressure. Constitutional obligation of Yugoslav
state organs to protect the rights of Yugoslav
citizens abroad was also a topic.
SLOBODA appeared these days with a demand that
President Milosevic should immediately return to
Belgrade for specialized medical care and recovery
under supervision of doctors who followed his
health for years.
Talks of Bjelica and Kostunica on Milosevic
finished with no public statement nor press
release.

THE MILOSEVIC TRIAL - STATEMENT OF BELGRADE FORUM (4)

THE BELGRADE FORUM FOR THE WORLD OF EQUALS
Done in Belgrade on 4 November 2002

The Belgrade Forum for the World of Equals (Forum)
expresses its deepest concern about the acceptance of the
second-hand evidence at the trial of Mr. Slobodan Milosevic
before the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former
Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague. This issue resurfaced at
the beginning of the Croatia-Bosnia case and the Presiding
Judge May declared that the sesond-hand evidence will be
admissible. He stated that such testimonies are "acceptable
in civil law (continental) systems". The Forum resolutely
protests against this legal misconception and feels obliged
to challenge this view.
In modern civil law systems a witness is defined as someone
who have a DIRECT perception of events he or she had
personally seen or otherwise personally experienced. Under
the Yugoslav criminal procedure law no accused individual
can be sentenced on the basis of testiomonies of witnesses
who would claim to have heard of a criminal act from the
media or from somebody else. No Yugoslav criminal court
would allow the prosecution to call such witnesses. In
other words, the practice according to which an accused
would be sentenced for, say, criminmal act of murder,
whereby witnesses would testify to have heard of that act
on the TV, from somebody else or to have read about it in
newspapers is completely unknown to the Yugoslav criminal
law procedure. We contend that such a practice is also
unknown to the U.S. and British common law systems.
The importance of this issue was sharpened with the
appearance of journalists who testified about their
interviews with certain individuals (Mr. Anastasijevic, for
instance). The main test here is: how can Mr. Milosevic
possibly ascertain during the cross-examination whether a
journalist had correctly conveyed the words of an
interviewee? There is simply no way in which this can be
accomplished and for this reason the Forum considers such
testimonies as the hear-say testimonies of the highest
order.
During the testimony of Dr. Eric Baccard, a forensic
medicine expert, Judge May accepted his view that a
paraffine glove test represented an obsolete technique
(even in the case when 37 individuals tested positive). In
accordance with this, the Forum expects from and calls upon
Judge May to also adopt the modern standards in the area of
the second-hand evidence and declare it inadmissible.
The Forum is also concerned about the so far undefined
right of Mr. Milosevic to cross-examine witnesses after the
additional examination by the prosecution. At present, this
right is granted to Mr. Milosevic arbitrarily by Judge May.
The Chamber must finally detremine when and to what extent
Mr. Milosevic can exercise this right.
The Forum also notes that in this new phase of the trial
the Office of the Prosecutor avails itself of a totally
unacceptable practice of submitting written witness'
statements which later prove not to correspond to oral
testimonies heard before the Chamber. It is nothing new now
that those testifying (witnesses Samardzic, Lazarevic etc.)
claim not to have uttered words which are contained in
"their" written statements. "This practice of the
prosecution is bordering with perjury", claimed Ms.
Ljiljana Smajlovic, a Belgrade weekly NIN's correspondent
from The Hague. It is a matter of deepest concern that the
Chamber feels no obligation to warn or reprimand the
prosecution for this blatant breach of Mr. Milosevic's
right to a fair trial.
The Forum also recalls the Judge May's statement concerning
the responsibility for the break-up of the former
Yugoslavia. "It will be the matter for the Chamber to
decide", declared Judge May during the testimony of Mr.
Stjepan Mesic, the Croatian President. We believe that this
issue is not something the Chamber (or ICTY for that
matter) is called upon to decide or rule on: it is not the
subject matter of the trial. Even if it was, the Chamber
was given a proper answer to the question who was
responsible by Mr. Mesic on 10 October. While accusing Mr.
Milosevic for the break up of former Yugoslavia, Mr. Mesic
stated that "he and Mr. Kucan (Croatia and Slovenia) were
for a loose confederation, while Mr. Milosevic, he wanted a
firm Yugoslav federation. In that situation, we (Croatia
and Slovenia) decided to go away, to secede." This Mesic's
statement is clear. What is unclear to the Forum is: how
can somebody who was for the firm Yugoslav federation at
the same time be for its dissolution!? We call upon the
Chamber to read the transcript of 10 October and finally
find the truth for itself.
Finally, the Forum notes the concern the Chamber expressed
on 1 November about the completion of the trial and the
state of Mr. Milosevic's health. Bearing in mind that he
defends himself, that he is overwhelmed by the amount of
documents delivered by the prosecution and that his state
of health is far from satisfactory, the Forum calls upon
the Chamber to make a precedent and proprio motu issue an
order for Mr. Milosevic's provisional release. Only such an
order and defence from a Hague address can protect Mr.
Milosevic's well-being and provide for a minimum level of
equality of arms, the equality which is non-existent at
present. Considerations of Mr. Milosevic's security at a
Hague address simply cannot overweigh concerns about his
state of health.

To the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia

for the attention of Judge May

From William Spring 1 Scales Road London N17 9HB

6th November 2002

also by fax & post

Dear Judge May,

As you probably don't know, as your officials haven't told you, I have
sent various e mails to you in the past relating to your role in the
trial of Mr Milosevic.

I am concerned not only @ the indignities you & your fellow judges
routinely inflict upon the accused, but at indications you
consistently interfere with his defence, limiting his time, while
seeking to protect dubious witnesses, (as for example when the well
known war manufacturer /CIA agent/ & Jesuit massacre defender William
Walker appeared before you).

I have looked @ the transcripts, although I was not in Court myself.

But you should have known & did know how important the evidence of
Walker was, & in fact you gave him two days to present his evidence.

But Mr Milosevic you only allowed him 3 hours to cross examine & in
the middle of that cross examination you cut Mr Milosevic off, as you
have done so many times in the past, @ the very point when Mr
Milosevic was asking questions relating to Walker's role in his cover
up of the murder of six Jesuit priests in El Salvador in the 1980's.

At that time Walker was employed as a CIA agent (using US diplomatic
cover), running the contras, useful experience for him prior to taking
over a similar role in Kosovo.

Walker told your tribunal "I made an inaccurate statement, in
hindsight".

Mr Milosevic then pointed out how, when the KLA was blamed for the
killing of the Serb teenagers in Pec, he had said, " when you don't
know what has happened, it's a lot more difficult to sort of pronounce
yourself ... to this day we do not know who committed that act."

But Walker did not exercise the same degree of caution regarding
Racak.

At that point you intervened to stop the cross examination by saying:
"your attempt to discredit this witness with events so long ago the
Trial Chamber has ruled as irrelevant. "

And later:

"This is an absurd question, absolutely absurd. Now you're wasting
everybody's time."

But the time spent cross examining the initiator of the Kosovo War was
not wasted.

It is vital to get to the truth about the 1999 NATO war on Yugoslavia.

It may be that as a lawyer you don't have any regard for the truth, by
which I mean you don't regard its pursuit as a priority.

But as a contemporary historian, & as a concerned citizen, worried @
the waste of UK taxpayers' money spent funding your illicit judicial
forum, I do.

My point is you have disqualified yourself by prejudice & bias from
any further conduct of this case.

I have made a formal complaint to the Lord Chancellor about your
conduct of the trial

I refer as well to the failure of The Tribunal to provide
medical facilities for the prisoner, nor access to family, nor access
to lawyers, nor access to potential witnesses, such as myself, nor
access to advisers, nor access to telephones & fax machines, nor
access to the Internet, nor even access to a computer.

You give him inedible meals & you deny him exercise.

You are engaged in torture.

You sneer @ the prisoner - you generally seek to demean him, you
inflict indignities & gratuitous humiliation upon him.

I believe you & the other UK officials @ the Court, including Steven
Kay, the MI6 agent drafted in so the prosecution can also take over
the defence, all of you have systematically conspired to deny the
prisoner a fair trial, both on account of the numerous rulings you
have made against him, & those you have not, particularly in respect
to the conditions of his unlawful detention.

You are aware how he is being unlawfully detained, having been
kidnapped, i.e. illegally abducted, (through the complicity of agents
of the British Government, & the RAF) from the sovereign territory of
Yugoslavia.

These agents & the RAF personnel were acting upon the instructions of
Geoff Hoon MP.

Yet the crime committed over his person you refuse to rule on.

You have refused to consider the circumstances by which Mr Milosevic
arrived @ your Court.

You & Stephen Kay are no better than the Japs, (who were probably
quite humane gaolers of our men on the Burma Road, compared to the
insidious protracted long term psychological torture you inflict on
Mr Milosevic).

Nothing is worse than the turning of the planetary moral & legal order
upside down, the bringing of international law into disrepute, so that
those who are actually criminals, (such as Walker, & NATO satrap Paddy
Ashdown, + the German NATO air commander, I think his name is Nauman
or something like that, but all of whom were responsible for the
aggression against Yugoslavia), they are allowed accuse Milosevic, but
they are not held responsible for their own crimes.

This is absurd.

Now we hear the Americans are planning another set of show trials,
this time for Iraq.

Corrupt Courts, staffed by corrupt judges, & corrupt prosecutors,
travel in the baggage of the Allies, as the Bourbons travelled in
their baggage in 1815.

Section 134 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 prevents any official of
the UK Covt engaging in torture in any capacity, for which reason I
am sending a copy to this letter to the Lord Chancellor & to the A-G.

Yours sincerely

William Spring

Lièni stav - Kosta Èavo¹ki

MEÐUNARODNO "PRAVO"

Jedan va¾an dogaðaj ostao je u senci potonjeg otkriæa brojne
"teroristièke" grupe i jo¹ uvek nere¹enog ustavnog spora oko otetih
poslanièkih mandata. Reè je o navodnoj isporuci oru¾ja Iraku, èime je
prekr¹ena rezolucija Saveta bezbednosti o embargu kojem je ta zemlja
podvrgnuta.
Naposletku se ispostavilo da je preduzeæe "Orao" iz Bijeljine vr¹ilo
remont mlaznih motora za veæ zastarele avione MIG 21, te da su preko
beogradskog "Jugoimporta" u Irak isporuèivani iraèki remontovani
mlazni motori, a ne neko savremenije oru¾je.
No, pre nego ¹to se pozabavimo ovakvim kr¹enjem tzv. meðunarodnog
prava, valja predoèiti naèin na koji se upravlja ovom na¹om krizom. Od
samog poèetka to su èinili amerièki obave¹tajci i diplomate koji su
ovu stvar najverovatnije godinama pratili, da bi tek sada zakljuèili
da je treba obelodaniti i postupno podjarivati.
Pored nadle¾nog ministra Gorana Svilanoviæa, meðu prvima koji je
saznao za ovu aferu bio je i Neboj¹a Èoviæ, koji, koliko je to nama
poznato, nije ni obave¹tajac niti zvanièni predstavnik savezne dr¾ave,
¹to samo govori da ga amerièki zvaniènici smatraju svojim.
Potom je tzv. privilegovanu informaciju o putevima oru¾ja iz na¹e
zemlje u vasceli svet dobio - a ko bi drugi? - dnevnik "Blic", èiji je
vlasnik stranac.
Jo¹ su va¾nije smene sa polo¾aja koje su potom usledile,
najverovatnije na zahtev Amerikanaca. Pored neposredno upletenih, u
Republici Srpskoj izgubili su polo¾aje i ministar odbrane i naèelnik
General¹taba, dok su u SR Jugoslaviji smenjeni samo general Jovan
Èekoviæ, direktor "Jugoimporta", i pomoænik ministra odbrane general
Ivan Ðokiæ.
Potom je Vladan Batiæ zatra¾io i smenu saveznog premijera Dragi¹e
Pe¹iæa i saveznog ministra odbrane Velimira Radojeviæa, dok su Zoran
Ðinðiæ i Nenad Èanak postavili i pitanje odgovornosti saveznog
predsednika Vojislava Ko¹tunice. Niko, ama ba¹ niko, pa ni amerièki
zvaniènici, nisu zatra¾ili smenu, a kamoli krivièno gonjenje
predsednika Upravnog odbora "Jugoimporta" Du¹ana Mihajloviæa, koji je
izgleda na tom polo¾aju samo zarad dopune svoje, inaèe bedne,
ministarske i potpredsednièke plate, pa mora ne¹to da zaradi i
trgovinom oru¾jem.
Otmicom Slobodana Milo¹eviæa iz zatvora i njegovim izruèenjem Hagu
Mihajloviæ je, po svoj prilici, stekao takve zasluge kod amerièkih
zvaniènika, da je kao polarni medved, taènije "Lutra" (na srpskom:
vidra), za¹tiæena zver koju niko ne sme ni da dirne.
Najzanimljivije su ipak ne¾eljene posledice do kojih bi ova povreda
meðunarodnog "prava" mogla da dovede. Njih je mo¾da najbolje izrazio
sam Du¹an Mihajloviæ kada je rekao da se nada da pomenute isporuke
Iraku "neæe pogor¹ati odnose SRJ sa SAD".
Tako ispada da povreda embarga koji je Savet bezbednosti uspostavio ne
povreðuje nijednu drugu èlanicu UN izuzev SAD. A za¹to samo SAD? Zato
¹to Sjedinjene Dr¾ave upravo nameravaju da i bez izrièite odluke i
odobrenja Saveta bezbednosti napadnu Irak, kao ¹to su marta 1999.
godine napale na¹u zemlju, i time jo¹ jednom poèine najstra¹niji
meðunarodni zloèin zbog kojeg su u Nirnbergu odgovarale Hitlerove
glave¹ine - zloèin protiv mira.
A na¹im glavarima mo¾emo postaviti sledeæe pitanje: kada veæ
Pavlovljevim uslovljenim refleksom reaguju na svaki ¹u¹anj iz
amerièkog ¾buna i udvorièki se izvinjavaju zbog praktièno beznaèajne
povrede rezolucije Saveta bezbednosti, da li æe smoæi snage da u ime
dr¾ave gromko osude zloèin protiv mira koji æe Sjedinjene Dr¾ave
poèiniti agresijom na Irak?
Svojevremeno je jedan katolièki misionar u Africi upitao jednog
plemenskog poglavicu ¹ta je za njega dobro, a ¹ta zlo.
Ovaj malo razmisli pa reèe: - Dobro je kad mi napadnemo susedno pleme
i otmemo njihove ¾ene i stoku, a zlo je kad oni to uèine nama.
Upravo tako je danas u meðunarodnim odnosima: dobro je kad Sjedinjene
Dr¾ave i njihovi saveznici napadnu na¹u zemlju bez odobrenja Saveta
bezbednosti i tom prilikom poèine i brojne ratne zloèine, a zlo je kad
jedno na¹e preduzeæe, protivno rezoluciji Saveta bezbednosti, isporuèi
Iraku njegove remontovane avionske motore ba¹ u trenutku kada se
priprema agresija tih istih Sjedinjenih Dr¾ava protiv Iraka. I to
mnogi jo¹ uvek nazivaju meðunarodnim "pravom".

SADAM I SRBI
I za ameri?ke muke sa Irakom krivi opet Srbi

Pise: Zvonimir Trajkovi?
Beograd 04. novembar 2002.

Ve? dve godine svakog dana DOS-ove perjanice nas bombarduju
pri?ama kako je sve u Srbiji unisteno, kako nista ne
funkcionise, te kako su posle Milosevi?eve vladavine naisli
na potpuni haos i rasulo. Fabrike su zastarele,
prevazidjena tehnologija, sve stoji i nista ne funkcionise.
Vlada mudro konstatuje da sve te fabrike treba prodati u
bescenje jer nista ne vrede pa se ?ak postavlja i pitanje
ho?e li uopste neko i daih kupi. Kad odjednom afera
»Jugoimport SDPR«. Srbija izvozila Iraku najsavremenije
oru?je i vojnu tehnologiju.

Kakve smo to najsavremenije termoviziske sisteme za
protivvazdusnu odbranu napravili Ira?anima kojima se
zamenjuju radari, a koje je nemogu?e otkriti jer nemaju
emisiono zra?enje. Sapu?e se da smo ih bogato opremili i
svim vrstam raketa dometa ?ak i do 1.500km. Neki ?ak
»znaju« da smo im uvalili i masivne bojeve glave punjene
koktelom otrovnih gasova koji ?e za ameri?ku pesadiju biti
fatalni. Da ne govorimo o ostalom artiljerijskom oru?ju ili
specijalnim puskama svih vrsta pa i ?uvenim snajperskim.
Ozbiljna panika se digla i oko »Orla« iz Republike Srpske.
On im je prema izvestaju izremontovao Migove 21 i 23 i na
njima ugradio znatna poboljsanja, pa su sad ozbiljna
pretnja ameri?koj avijaciji. Da problem po Srbiju bude jos
ve?i, pominje se jos pet sest nasih firmi koje su
potencijal Ira?ke armije podigle na zavidan nivo izvozom
sofisticirane i savremene vojne tehnologije. Londonski i
Ameri?ki listovi bruje kako su nasi oficiri na bazi
iskustava iz NATO agresije na Jugoslaviju, obu?ili ira?ane
specijalnoj taktici maskiranja, elektronskog ometanja, kao
i brzim manevrima uz istovremenu odbranu teritorije po
dubini.

Ko sad tu la?e?

Ova afera otvara nekoliko krucijalnih pitanja:
· Ako je za vreme vladavine Milosevi?a sve unisteno, kako
stalno DOS tvrdi, koje su to »zastarele fabrike« sa
»prevazidjenom tehnologijom« uspele da naprave tako dobro
i sofisticirano oru?je koga se Amerikanci toliko
pribojavaju i zbog koga su morali da odlo?e napad na
Irak.
· Dali takve fabrike treba prodavati u bescenje ili
zatvarati kako to namerava da uradi Vlada Srbije.
· Dali je nasa namenska industrija i pored ?estokog NATO
bombardovanja uspela da sa?uva svoje proizvodne i
tehnoloske potencijale i kako ih je tako brzo obnovila.
· I kao ?etvrto i najva?nije, odakle nama srpskim goljama
takav nau?ni i stru?ni potencijal kada je po izjavama
DOS-ovaca, u Milosevi?evo vreme masa stru?njaka napustilo
zemlju, te nam sada fale stru?njaci svih profila.

Poznato je da nam stalno dolaze razni svetski »eksperti«
kako bi nas edukovali u svim oblastima, pa nam ?ak i
policiju na jugu Srbije oni obu?avaju. Bez tih
»nasi-svetskih eksperata« nismo mogli ni vladu Srbije da
sastavimo. Odakle sad odjednom iznikose ti stru?njaci u
jednoj tako sofisticiranoj oblasti kakva je proizvodnja
oru?ja i vojne tehnologije.
Kakve mi to vojne stru?njake imamo kad nam sopstvena VJ ne
valja i pod hitno je treba iz korena reorganizovati, i to
po zapadnom konceptu.

Mora da nas tu neko la?e? Ili kad DOS tvrdi da je posle
Milosevi?a nasledjena pustos ili su Amerikanci potstakli
aferu »Jugoinport SDPR« da bi Srbiji isporu?ili novi paket
ucenjiva?kih zahteva. Svilanovi? je odmah otr?ao na duboko
poklonjenje Londonu, Kostunica i Djindji? su se posuli
pepelom, a neizostavni ?ovi? je to uradio vise puta kako bi
poniznost bila sto vidljivija, ali izgleda za Amerikance to
nije dovoljno. Stoga valjda i engleski ministar inostranih
poslova najavljuje dolazak u Beograd sa paketom teskih
optu?bi za Srbe.

Malo mi je sve to ?udno, dali je ovom aferom mo?da trebalo
pod tepih gurnuti sve ono sto zapad nije izvrsio a spisak
je podu?i. Neispunjavanje rezolucije 1244 i opsti haos na
Kosmetu, ili mo?da to sto ni posle triipo godine Srbi nisu
vra?eni na svoja ognjista. Mo?da je ova afera bas dobar
scenario da se Republici Srpskoj oduzme jos po koja
nadle?nost regulisana »Dejtonskim sporazumom«. Ili da se
Srbi nateraju i pohapse Karad?i?a, Mladi?a.... jer je to
isuvise tvrd posao za »slavne« zapadne specijalce. Da ne
govorim o definitivnom i ubrzamom zatvaranju namenske
industrije i hitnoj reorganizaciji, ?itaj razbijanju VJ.
Sve treba maksimalno ubrzati jer ovaj klimavi DOS mo?e
svakog trenutka da padne a posao sa razbijanjem Srba nije
zavrsen. Situacija je malo konfuzna, no jedno je sasvim
sigurno. Amerikanci su napad na Irak odlo?ili, navodno zbog
usvajanja novih rezolucija u savetu bezbednosti UN, ali po
svoj prilici, i za to, krivici su ve? ozna?eni. Ko bi drugi
nego Srbi.

Branislav Popovi?: Zapisi iz bele barake

Politi?ka humoreska
Beograd, 3. novembar 2002

Zemlji Srbiji ni u novom milenijumu, sada pod vlas?u navodnih
demokrata, ne nedostaju dogadjanja, takore?i afere, koje pune
medije, okupljaju politbiroe, dovode dr?avu u opasnost od
novih spoljnih ka?njavanja, stvaraju vodice za ispiranje usta
populacije... Izbori u Srbiji, izbori u Crnoj Gori, ustavna
povelja, slatki obra?uni u DOS-u, gorki obra?uni u SPS-u,
te?ak ?ivot, poskupljenja, pretnje spolja - malo li je, sve
odjednom, za jednu omanju zemlju!? Ipak nedovoljno, obzirom
na svekoliku tranziciju, koja, nakon nasih d?epova, mora da
lustrira (o?isti) i nase mozgove, "uprljane" decenijama
socijalizma, bratstva-jedinstva, nesvrstanosti i iluzije da,
kao Jugosloveni, ?ivimo u najboljem od mogu?ih svetova - na
"pola puta" izme|u Istoka i Zapada.
Kona?no, treba da izlustriramo i sve ono ?ime smo se nekada
di?ili, kao sto je, napr., nekad mo?na vojna industrija, koja
je zna?ajne viskove oru?ja izvozila po tre?em svetu. Mnogi
sada lupaju glavu kako je ova vojna afera uopste i po?ela.
Kako OZNA sve dozna, evo ekskluzivnog transkripta iz Jajastog
kabineta Bele barake.
I stvarno, nedavni razgovor izmedju jajara (kako druga?ije
nazvati likove koji se motaju u po jajetu nazvanoj sobi)
tekao je, takore?i, ovako:

- Boj D?ord?: "Pa sta rade ti likovi!? Das im pare, obu?is
kadrove, izvedu pu?, izru?e nam diktatora, pa opet po starom
- prkose nam i dalje, ne?e da prekinu veze sa Sadamom, ne?e
da izru?e sve u Hag, ona dvojica biju se oko ono malo vlasti
sto im je preostalo od naseg guvernera... sta da im radimo,
nisam vise pametan!"
- Kolin i Koni (u glas): "Imamo ideju, ! Da mi njima zapr?imo
?orbu, po sistemu - i dalje prodajete oru?je no-no likovima,
a? Kao, upravo nam javio SFOR, nasao disketu u kokpitu, kako
se ono bese zove avion - "Eagle"? Nadignemo buku na CNN-u,
zapretimo im - nema vise trgovine oru?jem sa teroristima,
dajte zlikovce u Hag, ina?e nema ni centa pomo?i (Kao da smo
im ista i davali, ha-ha-ha)! Posle ?emo ih naterati da
privatizuju, a mi da otkupimo tu njihovu vojnu industriju,
ne?e ti bezobraznici da konkurisu mojim sponzorima, je li
tako?" -
- Koni (nastavlja sama): "A da ubijemo dve muve jednim
udarcem, spojimo tu stvar sa njihovom bra?om preko reke, tek
toliko da damo sansu onom farmeru iz Alstera (Severna Irska)
da odradi zadatak koji smo mu dali, te im kona?no ukine onaj
entitet, sto im ga je onaj glupander Bil dao u Dejtonu!"
- Boj D?ord?: "Nije lose, nije uopste lose, bas sam i ja tako
nesto hteo da smislim, ali sta ?u kada nisam pametan na tatu,
ve? vise onako selja?ki bistar... Vidi ove njihove izbore, pa
oni nigde ne glasaju kako treba, a bas smo im pokazali onomad
na Floridi kako se radi posao..."
- Kolin: "Steta samo sto zbog toga sada OEBS nama posmatra
izbore... sefe, da kona?no primim onog njihovog ambasadora,
kao kurtoazno, pa mu kresnem sve po spisku i dam im doma?i -
?istite, smenjujte, sudite, kaznite, a?
- Koni: "Hej, stigla sve?a depesa - onaj kockasti lik, onaj
sto je svakoj tamosnjoj vlasti mirodjija - brcima podse?a na
ujka D?oa, znate onog Gruzina iz Jalte - izmislio neke
teroriste i kod njih, kao ubili onog malog bombasa, a hteli
su i da ubiju naseg ortaka D?ind?era i kidnapuju mu
porodicu."
- Boj D?ord?: "Da mu kidnapuju porodicu? Vidi ti njih, ala
brzo u?e sta je medijski probita?no."
- Koni: "Ne samo to. Pohapsio je pola Beograda i nabacio u
javnost da su ti likovi odgovorni za sva nerazjasnjena
politi?ka ubistva godinama unazad."
- Boj D?ord?: "Nije valjda i za onoga, kako se ono zvase,
Arkana? Sto ?e onom glupanderu Bilu biti drago, skoro da mi
je ?ao sto sam sredio da ga onaj novi sud ne mo?e dohvatiti,
ha-ha-ha! Da rezimiramo, sada imamo materijala da te Srbe
urazumimo jednom zauvek, bili kooperativni ili ne."
- Kolin: "Sefe, kada ih pritisnemo, sazna?emo sve i o
Sadamovom tajnom oru?ju, ovi Srbi su im pomagali da ga
naprave!"
- Boj D?ord?: 'Ne seri, generale, ponekad pomislim da je onaj
tvoj Hari u pravu, pa to je nasa propaganda smislila da bi
opravdali razvaljivanje Sadama, nisu ti Srbi sposobni za to!"

- Kolin (sebi u bradu): "Ma sredi?u ja tog Harija, peva?e on
meni drugu pesmu, a ne onu subverzivnu o Talibanima, krelac
jedan!"
- Koni (?ula ga): "Koline, tako ti ?varaka, on u toj pesmi
peva o bananama, to je snimljeno jos dok sam ja bila u
pelenama, crni ?ove?e, crnjo nijedna!"
- Boj D?ord?: "Dobro, dobro. Vesti su dobre, nemojte mnogo da
mudrujete. Glavno je da sredimo Sadama, a usput neka Srbi
prestanu da se ko?opere. Najbolje da pozovem Tonija da im
posalje onog Stroa kao slamku (straw=slamka) spasa! (sebi u
bradu) Ha-ha, sto sam bistar, onako selja?ki... (opet glasno)
Neka im Englezi uru?e ultimatum, neka i tim bednicima malo
sko?i numera, pa da vidimo sta ?e onda ti Srbi da urade. A
sada - svi na radne zadatke! (sebi u bradu) sto i ja serem,
izgleda da previse gledam one prenose iz Haga...

EDITORIAL N 71 cliquer sur le site pour le lire

SOMMAIRE DU N° 71

Pierre Hillard, l'auteur de " Minorités et régionalismes " montre
comment le projet de décentralisation de Raffarin se conforme point
par point au plan allemand de régionalisation de l'Europe.

Le médecin-chef d'un grand hôpital serbe fait de terribles révélations
sur les ravages des munitions à l'uranium appauvri utilisées par
l'OTAN dans sa guerre dans les Balkans.

Vojislav kostunica, l'actuel président yougoslave, a été plébiscité
sans être élu, le dernier scrutin présidentiel en Serbie ayant été
invalidé. Son livre de chroniques sur le drame du Kosovo et son
contexte internatinal vient d'être publié en français aux éditions de
l'Age d'Homme. Des extraits nous font connaître ses opinions.

Le portrait de l'éminence grise de Bush, Dick Cheney, le fou de guerre
qui fait des bonnes affaires, que nous avions commencé dans notre n°
70, est complété par un article sur son implication dans les récents
scandales financiers aux USA.

Un écrivain laïque tunisien parle de son expérience personnelle de "
l'objectivité " de la célèbre télévision arabe Al-Jazira.

Un bilan de la situation désastreuse en Afghanistan, où la colère
monte contre les Américains et, par Kosta Christitch, du fiasco de la
politique occidentale en Bosnie, qui n'a réussi qu'à renforcer les
adversaires nationalistes.

L'étonnant dossier de ces sociétés qui prennent la place de l'armée
américaine et dont le chiffre d'affaires explose : un aperçu des sales
besognes de leurs employés, des militaires de haut rang en retraite,
les nouveaux mercenaires de Washington.

Deux grands articles : le premier, écrit pour B.I. par le directeur du
journal de Sofia " Nova Zora ", décrit la façon dont la Communaute
éuropéenne désarme la Bulgarie et la prive d'électricité ; le second,
écrit par le Pr Rajko Dolecek, fait un bilan tchèque de la situation
dramatique créée en Europe par la politique de l'OTAN.

Le trouble passé d'un éventuel ministre macédonien, l'ex-chef
terroriste albanais Ali Ahmeti, révélé par un hebdomadaire de Suisse
romande : le nouveau protégé de la communauté internationale était
rentier, aliéné mental et escroc à l'assurance invalidité.

Jean-Michel Bérard dresse un tableau de la sinistre situation en
Moldavie, et Alain Jejcic analyse la catastrophe démographique en
Serbie.

Le quatrième roman d'Ivanka Mikic, " Komarac ", remporte un succès
mérité à Belgrade. C'est l'histoire d'une famille de Belgrade racontée
par une jeune fille qui découvre l'amour au cours de l'occupation
allemande du pays pendant la Seonde guerre mondiale. Le livre en serbe
est disponible en France pour le prix de 15 euros (envoi compris). Le
