3. THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL
TRIBUNAL FOR FORMER YUGOSLAVIA IS
INCAPABLE OF PROTECTING
FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS, OR PROVIDING
DUE PROCESS OF LAW.

Such an ad hoc Tribunal has a temporary and limited purpose
without helpful precedent, common tradition or relevant
experience. It lacks power to enforce orders, or compel the
disclosure of evidence and presence of witnesses, particularly for
the defense.

It is not capable of finding facts fairly, or defining and applying
legal principles equally. It cannot do justice.

The statutory mandate for the ICTY makes it hostile to concern
for the rights of those accused before it, because it is told the
crimes charged have occurred and the accused have been
demonized.

The right to assistance of counsel, so firmly established in
international law, has been denied and frustrated by the Tribunal
even in its most prominent cases. The Registry denied to me the
right to consult with lawyers of my choice on legal matters for
several weeks after my arraignment.

The Registrar wrote that for the one attorney who visited me
during that time and for only two hours, it would have been
''inappropriate'' to discuss the case because the conversation
was monitored and confidences would be violated. Lawyers from
Yugoslavia I ask to consult, with one exception, a monitored two
hours visit, were still denied approval and visas to enter the
Netherlands seven weeks after my arraignment.

Instead I was held in solitary confinement. I was able to visit my
wife only after more than two weeks imprisonment and then only
through sound proof glass using monitored telephones. She was
prohibited from speaking with the press and kept isolated from all
public contacts while in the Netherlands, a virtual prisoner in her
hotel room, except as she traveled between the airport, the prison
and the hotel.

The Ad Hoc Tribunal Is Intended To Demonize

And Destroy, Not To Fairly Determine Facts,

Protect Rights Of The Accessed, And Apply

Legal Principles Equally.

Unfair phenomena is inherent in the purpose and the nature of
temporary ad hoc tribunal, struggling without personnel who are
part of a legal tradition, far removed from the place the accused
came from and the events occurred where the court is charged by
its creator not to presume innocence, but that terrible crimes have
occurred and the accused are from the group that committed them.
They do this to protect thr real criminals, the NATO leaders who
killed thousands of innocent people in NATO's criminal
aggression.

Truth Is Beyond The Reach And The Purpose Of

The Ad Hoc Tribunal Which Is Intended To

Punish, Destroy And Divide.

It has been impossible in all cases before powerless ad hoc
Tribunals for the accused to obtain needed evidence and
witnesses for their defense. The ICTY has been unable to obtain
custody of many accused in the former Yugoslavia and has
resorted to, or condoned, improper and illegal means to pressure
their surrender.

Ad Hoc Tribunal Terrorize And Punish Those In Yugoslavia
Who Dared To

Oppose NATO Aggression And To React To Criminal Acts Of
Terrorists Who Were

Killing Serbs, Albanians, Muslims, Turks etc.

In Yugoslavia, the U.S. in violation of international and domestic
laws of both Yugoslavia and the U.S., has installed a government
of its choice in the Republic of Serbia and ousted President
Milosevic for the presidency of the Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia by bombing, economic coercion including sanctions,
physical threats, covert operations and corruption of the electoral
process.



The U.S. Creates Client Governments By

Forcing Elections, Using Millions Of Dollars

to Purchase Unity For Its Candidate , Then

Finance A Campaign That Buys Votes And

Corrupts Democracy.

The U.S. injected more than $ 100.000.000 (US) to defeat the
Government of Peoples Unity that was in power until October,
2000.

The U.S. has intervened in many foreign elections and often
installed governments subservient to its interests by that means.

The creation of an ad hoc international criminal tribunal with
threats and indictments of the leadership of the government it
seeks to remove is an additional devastating assault on the
democratic process and the government targeted for destruction.

My Abduction and Surrender To The

ICTY By A U.S. Installed Serbian Government

Was Done In Violation Of The Constitutions Of The

Federal Republic Of Yugoslavia, The Republic

Of Serbia, The Statute Creating The ICTY

While The Federal Constitutional Court Of

Yugoslavia Reviewed The Request For Surrender

For A Bribe Of, Supposedly, 1.3 Billion Dollars.

The U.S.-installed government of Serbia abducted and
surrendered me in violation of the Constitutions of the Federal
Republic of Yugoslavia and the Republic of Serbia and its Laws
while the request for surrender was under review by the
Constitutional Court of Yugoslavia, which had forbiden any act
related to surrender until the Court's final decision. That was also
a violation of the U.N. Security Council Resolution creating the
Tribunal which provides that surrender shall be accomplished in
accordance with the domestic laws of the nation requested to
make the surrender. The United States threatened to block $1.3
billion (U.S.) in international loans and aid for Yugoslavia unless
the surrender was accomplished by a date it set. Such conduct
and the participation and acceptance of it reveals contempt for the
rule of law by the Tribunal, the new government of Serbia, or the
United Nations.

The illegal seizure of an individual and his delivery to isolation in
the prison of an illegal international criminal tribunal in a distant
nation threatens the freedom of everyone. For the United Nations
to engage in, or accept, international kidnapping of political
leaders tells that world the old ways of violence, deceit and
coercion are its ways. Those ways will be met in the only way
they can be met, by the same means.

The New U.S. Installed Government Of Serbia

Is Using Its Police Power To Crush Political

Opposition In Serbia.

The current government of Serbia is engaged in crushing and
demonizing its domestic political opposition. The regime will
surrender accused persons to the ICTY in violation of its own
laws as it surrendered me in order to destroy political opposition
at home and receive payments of money and support from abroad
for the ruling politicians. It acts to frustrate any support or
investigation for my defense, even attempting to ban entry and
deport Ramsey Clark when he flew to Belgrade in June to discuss
my political persecution. In the hope of eliminating rival domestic
political power, it put hundreds of people in detention on purely
political grunds.

That government may fabricate evidence, destroy evidence and
control and coerce witnesses to assist in convictions by the
ICTY, and it will seek to frustrate defense efforts to obtain
documents, other evidence, and witnesses in Yugoslavia needed
for the defense in the Hague.

The People Of Serbia And Yugoslavia Risk A

Tragic Future From The External Manipulation

And Control Of Their Governments.

The new government of Serbia is a puppet for the United States. If
there is any expectation a U.S. supported government might be
better for the people of Serbia, or Yugoslavia, ask Iranians if they
believe they fared better under the Shah of Iran, enthroned in 1953
by the U.S. for 25 years, than they would have under
democratically elected President Mossadegh and elected
successors. Was a long line of military governments which
brutally repressed the people of Guatemala for decades better for
the people than democratically elected President Arbenz who was
removed by United States forces in 1954. Was Mobutu, who for
four decades brutalized, bankrupted and corrupted the country,
better for the people than democratically elected Patrice
Lumumba assassinated with U.S. complicity in 1960? Did General
Pinochet better serve democracy, human rights and the welfare of
the people for decades than the democratically elected Salvador
Allende murdered in a U.S. supported golpe in Chile in 1973? It
would be difficult to find four greater national tragedies in the last
fifty years, all brought about by the United States determination to
control those regions.

Ask the people of the several score other countries who have
lived under U.S. supported tyrannies, "our SOB's" as FDR called
Somoza in Nicaragua, how they benefited. An ad hoc criminal
tribunal created to crush the leadership of the opposition to a U.S.
installed government cannot bring peace, reconciliation, protect
human rights, or enable a people to live and prosper together. It
will create fear, hatred, division and violence.

Consider the peoples of the poorest countries of the world during
these last decades obediently struggling to repay loans for
projects and purposes they did not choose and that never
benefited them while their own citizens die from hunger and
preventable illnesses. Consider the economies of eastern Europe,
or of the former Yugoslav republics and ask why per capita
income is often less than half, sometimes less than 25% what it
was just twelve years ago. Ad hoc criminal tribunals will prolong
the suffering in poor countries by supporting governments that will
maintain foreign domination that seeks benefits that will worsen
that condition.

The Violence And Division Within Yugoslavia

Since The Collapse Of The Soviet Economy Was

Caused By U.S. Lead Acts Designed To Balkanize

The Federal Republic And Its Member

Republics With The ICTY As Principal Weapon.

The United States engaged in a decade long effort aided by
several European countries, to break-up and destroy the Federal
Republic of Yugoslavia, causing the secession, (remember the
American Civil War) of German oriented Slovenia and Croatia
with 500 000 Serbs purged from its borders. Then Bosnia was
pried away from the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and
segregated into an unnatural three region religious apartheid,
Muslim, Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Christian. Now
Macedonia is in turmoil, nearing civil war from U.S. stimulated
and supported terrorist organization KLA aggression. Thus
Yugoslavia became former, losing half of its population and
wealth and leaving only Serbia and Montenegro. Kosovo and
Metohia, an historically precious part of Serbia remains occupied
by NATO Forces after 79 days of aerial bombardment in 1999.

U.S. lead aerial assaults inflicted billions in damages on civilian
facilities, killed thousands of civilians throughout Serbia in the
name of NATO. Thereafter the United States and NATO watched
as 330 000 Serbs were forced out of Kosovo and Metohia and
many hundreds murdered, emboldened by the United States.
Violent efforts to remove all Serbs from Kosovo and Metohia
continue. And the KLA has been empowered to attack
Macedonia.

The ICTY was created at the insistence of the United States
which had stimulated violence and secession in republics of
Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia and
attempted division and conflict in the Serbian province of Kosovo
and Metohia and in three municipalities in the south of Serbia and
throughout the former six Republics. The U.S. intends to
persecute and demonize leaders who together with the people by
defending freedom and by resisting aggression of NATO war
machinery, had defied its will, and at the same time make the
people seem savage. Madeleine Albright, while U.S. Ambassador
to the U.N., was the driving force for creation of the ICTY. The
U.S. Ambassador to the Tribunal, David Scheffer, concedes the
ICTY is ''supported, financed, staffed and provided information''
primarily by the United States.

Now as the idea and existence of ad hoc tribunals are threatened
by the treaty creating the International Criminal Court the United
States is exerting pressure to prevent nations from ratifying it. It
is also pressing for new ad hoc Tribunals for the Democratic
Republic of Congo, Sierra Leone, Sudan and elsewhere, to
dominate those regions and defuse the drive for the International
Criminal Court. The treaty, signed in Rome in 1998 by 120 nations
was ratified by the 37th nation, the Netherlands, in late July 2001.



The United States prefers to select nations for persecution while
protecting itself, its allies and favored client states. Ad hoc
tribunals which are illegitimate, incapable of equal justice under
law, by their nature unable to conduct fair trials, or provide due
process and whose victims have long since been convicted in the
United States controlled media are a U.S. weapon for establishing
long term control and exploitation of targeted nations and regions.
That is their globalization, that is new colonialism.

For these reasons, the so called ICTY should be declared illegal
and its prisoners, legally and illegally surrendered, should be
released.

[Emperor's Clothes]

======================================Former Croatian minister confirms CIA's involvement
in 1995 military operation
SOURCE: HRT1 TV, Zagreb, in Serbo-Croat 1730 gmt 20 Aug 01
[Translated from Croatian TV on 20 August, 2001, Monday]
======================================
Announcer: Today's issue of the US
weekly 'Newsweek' carries a report
containing information that has been
surmised for years, but has never been
officially confirmed. According to Newsweek's
article headlined "What Did
the CIA Know" the US intelligence service
closely cooperated with Croatia,
particularly in the preparation and
during Operation Storm:

Reporter: The article says that in
the mid-1990s the Americans helped the
Croats by sending them images of the
Serb forces' movements and weapons
emplacements photographed by drones.
The images were transmitted to an HQ
near Zadar from where they were then
forwarded to the Pentagon. According
to top Croatian intelligence officials,
copies were also sent to the
headquarters of Ante Gotovina the
Croatian general in command of Operation
Storm. Miroslav Tudjman, the then
head of the Croatian Intelligence
Service, says in the article that
the Croatian and American intelligence
services had a de facto partnership. The
then Minister of Foreign Affairs
Mate Granic also knows about this cooperation:

Mate Granic: Of course I know, they
cooperated well, these aircraft were
also used. During the Kosovo operation
Croatia also cooperated successfully
as a partner of NATO and the USA.

Reporter: The article further says
that the US officials have confirmed
that the CIA had limited sharing of
intelligence information with Croatia,
but also insist American operatives
did nothing that contributed to war
crimes, nor did they know anything
about planning for criminal activity.

These facts can be used for defence
in the Gotovina case, the article
further says. His defence counsel
Luka Misetic says that there were many
sets of eyes watching Operation Storm.
No one there in the CIA saw there
was a problem with war crimes. A former
senior administration official says
the White House had the usual scatter
of information about individual
incidents, but no evidence that the
Croats were going out of their way to
terrorize the Serb population.

Another issue is how to pressure the
USA into opening their archives and
forwarding documents to the Hague tribunal:

Mate Granic: The US is reluctant to
give any of its intelligence reports -
that has been our experience so far.
As for whether it will give any
documents now, it is up to the Hague
tribunal and the USA.

Reporter: Gotovina's lawyer announced
he would ask for this by subpoena.
Roy Gutman concludes by saying that
the US cannot wash its hands of it now,
having been collecting evidence all the
time and finally saying: We were
not there.

Comunicato del Partito Socialista della Serbia
sull'assassinio di Abu Ali Mustafa

Il Comitato Centrale
Belgrado, 29 agosto 2001

Il Partito Socialista della Serbia (SPS) ha appreso con amarezza
dell'assassinio di Abu Ali Mustafa, uno dei principali leader dell'amico
popolo palestinese, segretario generale del Fronte Democratico per
la Liberazione della Palestina.

Nell'esprime il cordoglio ai familiari, ai compagni combattenti e di
partito, ed a tutto il popolo palestinese, ribadiamo in questa occasione
anche la nostra piena solidarieta' con la giusta lotta del popolo
arabo palestinese contro la repressione e per la realizzazione dei
suoi legittimi diritti e dei suoi obiettivi nazionali.

Le forze che stanno dietro questo crimine sono le stesse che, con il
terrorismo ed il crimine organizzato internazionale, per molti decenni
hanno agito in maniera distruttiva ed impunita nel Medio Oriente e
nel Mediterraneo orientale, e per un decennio nei Balcani ed in Asia
centrale, allo scopo di trasformare queste regioni in campi di battaglia
di conflitti etnici e religiosi, nell'interesse della loro espansione
militare, economica e finanziaria, a detrimento dei popoli che vivono
nel nostro angolo del pianeta, senza esitare nemmeno di usare
apertamente l'aggressione e l'occupazione militare.

Il Partito Socialista della Serbia, guidato dal presidente Slobodan
Milosevic, continuera' a guidare la resistenza dei popoli della
Jugoslavia contro la minaccia della colonizzazione e, insieme alle
forze progressiste, democratiche e di liberazione di tutto il mondo,
si impegnera' per la creazione di relazioni internazionali basate
sulla pace, sul rispetto della sovranita' dei popoli e sulla equa
cooperazione. E' vicina la sconfitta definitiva di quelli che cercano
di imporre la loro egemonia globale usando i missili, le bombe e
le sentenze contro chi lotta per la liberta'.

The Socialist Party of Serbia

Head Committee

Belgrade, August 29, 2001



Communiqu�



The Socialist Party of Serbia learned with embitterment about
the assassination of one of the most prominent leaders of the
friendly Palestinian people, Abu Ali Mustafa, general secretary
of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

Expressing condolences to his family, fellow fighters, party
comrades and the whole Palestine people, we reiterate on this
occasion as well our full solidarity with the just struggle of the
Arab Palestinian people against repression and for the
realization of its legitimate rights and national goals.

The forces standing behind this crime are the same ones who,
braced with terrorism and organized international crime, for
several decades act destructively and unpunished in the Middle
East and the Eastern Mediterranean, over a decade in the
Balkans and in Central Asia, in order to transform this regions
into battlefields of ethnic and religious conflicts in interest of
their own military, economic and financial expansion, to the
detriment of the peoples living in our part of the World without
even hesitating open military aggression and occupation.

The Socialist Party of Serbia, headed by President Slobodan
Milosevic, will further on lead the resistance of the peoples of
Yugoslavia to the threat of colonization and, together with the
progressive, democratic and liberation forces throughout the
World, strive for the establishment of international relations
based on peace, respect of the sovereignty of peoples and
equitable cooperation. The definitive defeat of those ones trying
to impose their global hegemony with rockets, bombs and
sentences to freedom fighters - is near.

======================================Why is NATO Decimating the Balkans and
Trying to Force Milosevic to Surrender?
By Jared Israel and Nico Varkevisser
[29 August 2001]
======================================
Recently the International Committee
to Defend Slobodan Milosevic (ICDSM)
received an email from some people in
St. Petersburg. They were organizing a
protest against globalization and The
Hague (un)Tribunal, and in support of
President Milosevic.

Many people in the West don't realize
that there is passionate support for
Milosevic across the political
spectrum in the former Soviet Union.
For example, the Russian Committee to
Defend Slobodan Milosevic is led by
Alexander Zinoviev, the distinguished
author and former Soviet dissident. At
the same time, the Committee is
strongly supported by the communists.

Virtually all Russian citizens demand
Milosevic be freed. They understand
that in NATO's attempt to destroy
Yugoslavia, Macedonia, and then Bulgaria
and Greece, the ultimate target is the
former Soviet Union.

NATO needs to crush Milosevic, and to
tarnish the legend of Milosevic,
because he stands for resistance to
NATO, to neo-colonialism, to Washington's
Imperial rule - to the new slavery
brought to us thanks to this latest
would-be Rome.

The following article is based on a
letter of greeting we sent the
demonstrators in St. Petersburg. * *

Why is NATO Decimating the Balkans and
Trying to Force Milosevic to
Surrender?

By Jared Israel and Nico Varkevisser

During the past 14 years, Yugoslav
loyalists and their leaders, especially
the Serbian people and President
Milosevic and his associates, have achieved
the same thing the Serbs achieved in 1941.

It was in March of that year that the
Serbs overthrew their pro-German
government. In a rage, Hitler ordered
the conquest of Yugoslavia. His troops
got bogged down in the attempt. This
delayed Operation Barbarossa, the
invasion of the Soviet Union. Because
of the Serbs, the Nazi supermen were
trapped in the fierce Russian winter.

In 1987, the forces around Milosevic
defeated pro-NATO elements in the
Serbian government, thus declaring
their independence from Washington.
>From that time on, Milosevic and the
Serbian and other Yugoslav loyalists
have provided a roadblock obstructing
NATO's Drive to the East and a beacon
to the former Soviets, to resist.

****************
A 56 Year-Old Strategy
****************

The attack on Yugoslavia and the
kidnapping of Milosevic are not random
events. They constitute a new phase of
the "anti-Eastern" strategy, which
Washington has pursued for more than
five decades.

That strategy had two parts: Part one
was the break up of the Soviet Union,
achieved in 1991.

Part Two is the reduction of the
Republics of the former Soviet Union
(SU) from nations to devastated
territories, small protectorates under
the domination of the U.S. and its junior
partners.

Washington has openly pursued this
strategy since the end of World War
II, when it created the CIA, in large
measure from General Gehlen's network
of Nazi operatives, agents and contacts
in Western, Eastern and Southern
Europe.

Part One of the strategy went into
high gear in 1979. At that time it was
articulated by Jimmy Carter's National
Security Adviser, Zbigniew Brzezinski.
It was the reason for the U.S. proxy
war against Afghanistan, during which
Washington and its allies created and
nurtured the phenomenon of Islamist
terrorism, which now plagues the
former SU, the Balkans, Algeria, and
the rest of the planet.

In the West, it is considered
politically correct to ascribe the
breakup of the Soviet Union to an inevitable
'revolution' brought about by internal
decay.

Yet it is well known that most Soviet
citizens (perhaps 70%) opposed the
break-up of the Union. How can a
'revolution' that is opposed by most
people be inevitable?

Alexander Zinoviev was a leading
Soviet dissident. Here's what he says:

"The fall of communism has been
transformed into the fall of Russia.
The Russian catastrophe was deliberately
planned in the West. I say this because
I was once involved in these plans
which, under the pretext of fighting
an ideology, in fact prepared the death
of Russia.

"Contrary to a widely held view,
communism did not collapse for internal
reasons. Its collapse is the greatest
possible victory of the West. This
colossal victory has created a
planetary power. The end of communism
is also the end of democracy: our era is not
only post-communist, it is also
post-democratic ... This is because
democracy means pluralism: that
requires the existence of at least two more or
less equal powers During the Cold War
there was democracy at world level, a
global pluralism within which
capitalism and communism coexisted.
Now we live in a world dominated by a
single force, by a single ideology and
by a single globalist party The
Western countries are dominant but
they are also dominated, because they
are progressively losing their sovereignty
to what I call "supra-society". This
planetary supra-society consists of
commercial enterprises and non-commercial
organisms whose zones of influence are
superior to those of nations. The
Western countries are subjected, like
other countries, to the control of
these supranational structures. But
the sovereignty of nations was a
constituent part of pluralism and
democracy at world level. The present
dominating power is crushing sovereign
states. The process of European
integration which is taking place
under our eyes is causing the
disappearance of pluralism within this new
conglomerate, to the benefit of a new
supranational power." ('Figaro', 24th
July 1999)

Washington and Western Europe (NATO)
contrived to exhaust the Soviets
economically (e.g., the Afghan war and
the arms race) bribed and otherwise
seduced many of its officials,
demeaned its ideology, and used other
means to bring about the Soviets' so-called
internal collapse.

In the 1980s, knowing that the
destruction of the Soviet Union was
near, the U.S. mobilized Germany and England and
launched the attack on Yugoslavia,
which went into high gear with the
externally-engineered secession of
Slovenia and Croatia in 1991,
precisely when the Soviet Union was
being destroyed.

Washington launched this attack
because crushing Yugoslavia, and especially
the passionately independent Serbs, is
the key to pacifying the Balkans. And
the Balkans is the strategic southern
flank of the former Soviet Union.

***********************
Washington Goes for World Conquest
***********************

There were plenty of problems with the
former Soviet Union, but these are
grossly distorted by politicians and
propagandists in the West. For example,
a year ago, in an article called
"Living with Russia," Zbigniew
Brzezinski, a strategist of U.S. Imperial rule,
explained the existence of grave
poverty in Russia as follows:

"The painful reality is that the
communist experiment has bequeathed to
the Russian people a ruined agriculture, a
retarded and in many places primitive
social infrastructure, a backward
economy increasingly facing the risk
of progressive de-industrialization, a
devastated environment, and a
demographically threatened population."

We have seen the same argument made
regarding Bulgaria and indeed all the
former socialist countries. It amounts
to heaping insult on injury. Since the
'fall' of communism, draconian
policies, dictated by Washington through the
International Monetary Fund, have
methodically laid waste to the economies
and social service-structures of these
countries.

In the Soviet Union, apartments,
childcare (available 24-hours a day),
medical and dental care, public
transportation and vacations were either free
or subsidized so working people could
afford them. Higher education was not
just free; students were paid stipends
if they maintained good grades. (This,
one might note in passing, was a
policy calculated to induce working
class students to go to college and study.
In much of the capitalist world today,
measures are in effect which produce
the opposite effect.)

The finest cultural achievements, such
as the great Bolshoi Ballet, were
enjoyed by ordinary people. For
example, in the case of the Bolshoi,
admission was a pittance and
transportation was organized so that
working people could attend.

In Soviet society, differences in
wealth existed but they were nothing
like those that exist in the West or that
have come to exist in the former
socialist countries.

***********************
Imperial Hypocrisy
***********************

It is under Western guidance that the
Soviet Union's great social protections
have been destroyed during the past
decade. And now Mr. Brzezinski, one of
the architects of that destruction,
has the audacity to blame it on the
system he helped eliminate and
preaches the moral superiority of the
system he and his ilk have put in its place,
in which some live like kings while
most others suffer without basic
necessities, and the kings preach
morality.

(Perhaps the greatest failing of the
Soviet Union was its non-democratic
character - non-democratic in the
profound sense of not relying on the
political thinking and action of
ordinary people. Instead a highly
centralized bureaucracy was the source
of all political motion. Imperial
strategists like Mr. Brzezinski
recognized this flaw, saw that if they
could penetrate and corrupt this structure
they could bring down the Soviet Union
before the people could be mobilized
to resist. Which is basically what
happened.)

The Soviet Union had a policy of
supporting anti-colonial struggle.
After World War II, partly inspired by the
resistance of the Soviet bloc, colonial
and semi-colonial states from Eastern
Europe to China gained much freedom
from Western domination. But now that
the Soviet Union has been broken up,
and with it the restraining force of
Soviet power, Washington and its
European allies are trying to force
most of the world's people, that is
those living outside North America and
Western Europe, into neocolonial
status, that is, into desperate poverty.

*****************
The Model is Kosovo
*****************

In the Balkans we see Washington's
policy at its harshest. In a recent speech
delivered to soldiers at the giant
U.S. military base in Kosovo (called, with
pompous arrogance, "Bondsteel") George
Bush Jr. described Kosovo as the U.S.
model for progress in the Balkans.

This progress has meant rule by the
gangster-fascists of the KLA; it has
meant that politically unreliable
people - ethnic Serbs, "Gypsies," Slavic
Muslims and anti-fascist Albanians -
are demonized in the media even as they
are driven from the province, while
those who dare to remain in Kosovo live
in constant terror, their homes
reduced to prisons. This is all documented.

What Washington has done to the
Serbian province of Kosovo it is now trying
to do to Macedonia and the rest of
Serbia. If Washington is successful in
Kosovo-izing Serbia, Macedonia and
other Balkans states, it will have created
the stable southern flank it needs to
escalate the "low intensity wars"
(Washington's term) that it is already
fighting on many fronts against the
former Soviet Union.

Yugoslavia shows what Washington hopes
to accomplish in the former Soviet
Union, writ small.

First Yugoslavia was broken up, as the
former SU had been broken up. In the
process, Washington re-created
precisely the same fascist power blocs
that the Nazi's relied on during World War
II, especially clerical-fascists in
Croatia and fanatical Islamists in
Bosnia.

Now NATO is using quisling governments
installed in Belgrade and Skopje, and
fascist-secessionists, mobilized
behind the slogan 'Greater Albania,' which
Washington has encouraged for over a
decade, to pulverize the remains, to
neutralize the powerful Yugoslav Army,
and to physically devastate those
populations in Serbia, Macedonia and
elsewhere which have historically
resisted Imperial domination and whose
hearts are drawn to the East.

If Washington succeeds in "pacifying"
the Balkans in this fashion, it will
try to duplicate the process
throughout the former Soviet Union: reducing
populations inclined to resist U.S.
rule to terrorized slaves ruled by local
fascists (conveniently labeled victims
of oppression by the pro-NATO media)
and all of it dominated by the U.S.
and its allies, especially Germany and
England.

*****************************
Components of the anti-Russian
onslaught are partly in place
*****************************

The critical focus of Washington's
attempt to recolonize the world lies
in the Balkans.

If the new Empire consolidated its
power in the Balkans, the former Soviet
Union's southern flank, the attack on
Russia would increase a hundred- fold.
There would be direct NATO
intervention from the south and from
bases in the Baltic states, from certain former
Warsaw pact countries, and increased
attack from a few NATO-controlled
former Soviet Republics.

This would be justified by an all-out
Western media campaign, posing imperial
conquest as an attempt to curb
humanitarian abuses. At the same time,
Washington would escalate various
internal attacks, employing:

* Fifth Column forces already in
place, organized by George Soros' boys and
by U.S. and European agencies (e.g.;,
the National Endowment for Democracy)
throughout the former Soviet Union;

* Western-inspired attacks by fascist
Islamists (it is notable that some of
the Chechnya terrorists are now
fighting as Albanian rebels in
Macedonia);

* Traitorous betrayals by officials
corrupted through the military and
economic penetration of the former
Soviet Union by Washington and its
allies.

What would the "Kosovo-izing" of the
former Soviet Union mean for the world?
First, Washington and its allies could
engage in the most extreme plunder of
the vast resources of the former
Soviet Union. And second, its position
consolidated in the former SU,
Washington could proceed full force
against the great Asian nation-states, trying
to break up China and India into
numerous small protectorates.

This would be Washington's dream.

Does this policy serve the interests
of ordinary people in North America
and Western Europe? Quite the contrary.
Unchecked, it poses the gravest risk
of worldwide nuclear war.

The resistance by Milosevic and the
Serbian people to NATO's expansion
into the Balkans, their attempt to awaken
the great Russian bear, which was
stunned by the breakup of the Soviet
Union, is of the greatest importance
to humanity, East and West.

By refusing to cooperate with NATO's
Hague unTribunal, President Milosevic
has, in one brave stroke, sent an
electrifying call for resistance
throughout the world. As a refugee from NATO's
attack on Afghanistan wrote:

"I just saw Milosevic [on TV]. He told
this criminal Western kangaroo court
that he doesn't recognize them. So I
wish there was a lot more of those
guys, like Milosevic."

The gentleman is correct. We do need
tens of thousands of those people like
Milosevic. That is why the unTribunal
is doing everything it can to force
Milosevic to drop his defiance and
cooperate with their inquisition.

If the Russians and other people of
the former Soviet Union can regroup,
achieve unity and create popular
movements with a Milosevic-type policy
of national unity based on social justice
- a policy that defends the nation by
mobilizing the overwhelming majority
of people for social justice - if the
Russian and other Soviet people can do
this, they will not only be protecting
themselves, they will once again be
protecting the world, including the
people of the U.S.
