RAMSEY CLARK SLAMS HAGUE 'TRIBUNAL'
Introduction by Nico Varkevisser [2 August 2001]
Reposted from www.icdsm.org - Please forward & repost!
[Nico Varkevisser is Editor-in-Chief of the
monthly newspaper, 'Targets.' Mr.
Varkevisser is Vice-Chairman of the
International Committee to Defend
Slobodan Milosevic (ICDSM) and its
Coordinator in The Netherlands.]
Yesterday the ICDSM held another
press conference in Amsterdam.
The press was addressed by Ramsey Clark,
former Attorney General of the USA
and Co-Chairman of the ICDSM. Mr. Clark
had spent the better part of three
days meeting with President Slobodan Milosevic,
imprisoned in The Hague.
Posted below is a surprisingly accurate
'Reuters' dispatch covering the press
conference. I say 'surprisingly accurate'
because three days ago 'Reuters'
declared, as if repeating an accepted fact,
that Milosevic:
"...remains in solitary confinement at his
own request." ('Reuters,' 31 July 2001)
Contradicting this lie, Attorney Clark most
strongly protested the fact that
the Tribunal has kept Mr. Milosevic in
solitary confinement going into the
second month, thus violating even the
'Tribunal's' own rules and procedures.
Milosevic wants very much to be with the
other 'prisoners' but 'Tribunal'
officials have refused. In addition, said
Clark, Milosevic is especially
outraged about the insulting and inhumane
conditions under which his wife,
Mira Markovic, is forced to meet with him.
Reporters became somewhat hostile at
this point, demanding to know why the
'Tribunal' would possibly want to cause
problems for the President and his
wife. Clark answered that, obviously,
this was intended to break Milosevic.
"I have seen this in many countries,"
said Clark. "The authorities try to
disorient and weaken a political prisoner,
especially in the first stages of an arrest."
Clark noted that despite these attempts
to break Slobodan Milosevic, he
remains strong, has an excellent spirit,
is very sharp, and wants to argue
his case to expose NATO's aggression
aimed at breaking up and Yugoslavia, to
defend the sovereignty of Yugoslavia and
to defend the people of his country
against US and European plans to take
over and devastate the economy.
Said Clark: "Milosevic says, 'OK, I
didn't choose to be here, but I am here.
So apparently it is my destiny to use
this prison as a platform to help our people.'"

Ramsey Clark: Milosevic To Defend Himself With Legal Help
THE HAGUE, August 2, 2001 (Reuters) -
Slobodan Milosevic will mount his own
''very powerful defense'' against war
crimes charges in The Hague but wants
lawyers to assist him in court, former
U.S. attorney general Ramsey Clark said on Wednesday.
``He is a person who is used to speaking
for himself and he will speak for
himself, but he wants to have the
assistance of counsel, Clark said after
visiting the detained former Yugoslav
president for a third consecutive day
in The Hague.
Milosevic, in a show of contempt for a
court he has branded an ``illegal
instrument of his NATO enemies, made his
first appearance in court last month
alone after opting not to appoint a defense
lawyer.
Milosevic's unorthodox wish to have lawyers
assisting him both in court and
in the U.N. detention unit while declining
to follow the standard practice of
granting power of attorney has proved a
headache for tribunal officials.
``There is no precedence for this. Any
proposals like that would have to be
looked at by the judges and the court
registry, U.N. tribunal spokesman Jim
Landale said.
If he indeed represents himself during
the trial, expected to start next
year, he would be the first defendant
at The Hague tribunal to do so. Legal
experts have suggested such a strategy
would be foolish.
But lawyers supporting Milosevic, including
Clark, have said he wants to seek
expert legal advice without actually
granting power of attorney.
``He will not be represented...He will
have the advice of counsel on a whole
range of things...He is going to mount
a very powerful defense, said Clark, a
member of the International Committee
to Defend Slobodan Milosevic.
Milosevic, accused of atrocities in Kosovo
in 1999, was whisked out of Serbia
in late June to face war crimes charges
at the U.N. International Criminal
Tribunal for former Yugoslavia.
Milosevic is being held in isolation
from The Hague's other 39 detainees. The
U.N. court said the former leader wanted
to be kept apart from other
detainees, but Clark said Milosevic
did want to mix with other detainees.
Clark, 73, a campaigner for causes
often at odds with U.S. authorities,
served as attorney general under President
Lyndon Johnson in the late 1960s.
He condemned the 1999 NATO bombing of
Yugoslavia during the conflict over Kosovo.

Who Is Guilty? Milosevic or NATO?
by Stan Goff
[Stan Goff is a Retired U.S. Special
Forces Master Sargent, an author,
Organizer for the North Carolina
Alliance for Democracy and a member of
the
International Committee to Defend
Slobodan Milosevic. (ICDSM)]
What do you call someone who pays
officials to break the law, threatens
people with violence if they don't do
what he demands, spreads outrageous
lies to impugn people's reputations, and
participates in a plot to
illegally take an unwilling person out
of the country in captivity?
Guilty of bribery, extortion, slander
and kidnapping.
What do you call a government which does
precisely those things?
The United States in Yugoslavia.
Let's get something straight here. The
'War Crimes Tribunal' at the Hague
is no more an impartial judiciary (1)
than Geraldo Rivera is a
neurosurgeon, and Slobodan Milosevic is
no war criminal. These are just
simply facts, and the thing that--even
at 50--still amazes my ass is the
sheep-like, gullible,
we-just-fell-off-the-turnip-truck
acceptance of the
capitalist media's horse-manure by
comfortable fellow Americans.
United States military troops are
occupying the Balkans, many of them with
relatives who might read this, and very
few people seem the least bit
inclined to find out what's really going
on there. So they listen to CNN,
read the 'New York Times' or the 'News
and Observer,' watch PBS, or listen
to NPR, brought to you by... name your
favorite agribusiness or weapons
contractor... and believe them.
I've got a news flash for you, folks.
The media lie. They lie early and
often, and they keep on telling the same
lies over and over, apparently in
the well-founded hope that we will
simply and finally equate repetition
with accuracy. (2)
Slobodan Milosevic is no war criminal.
Nor was he a dictator. (3)
Until the US started a massive campaign
of extortion, bribery and election
rigging in Serbia, he won his elections
fair and square--unlike the current
de facto President of the United States.
Nor did Milosevic ever lead the
non-existent movement for Greater
Serbia. Nor do Serbs collectively "share"
any blame for whatever flavor-of-the-day
atrocity is being invented by the
IMF, the State Department, NATO
Headquarters in Brussels, or that fake
Tribunal.
Serbs are as fractious and pluralistic
as any group, especially about
politics, deeply split even today
between nationalists and socialists. What
they are not, contrary to the recent
resurgence of Serb-bashing, is
self-pitying and paranoid. They are one
of the most stoic, and tolerant,
people in Europe.
The distortions that underwrite this
latest violation of Yugoslav and
International law--the veritable
kidnapping of a former head of
state--would make Joseph Goebbels blush.
Crimes were invented to fit the
punishment of the Serbs. Allegations
were reported as facts, then
referenced later as if they really were
facts. The mounting evidence of a
giant hoax in almost every case has been
completely ignored by capitalist
media. The effect--intended I think--is
to create an impression so
overwhelming of Serbian guilt that to
question it is to be regarded as a
miscreant holocaust denier. Guilt by
analogy. Milosevic equals Hitler,
therefore defending Serbians equals
defending Nazis (a huge irony here,
since Serbs were tenacious and fearless
fighters against the Third Reich).
There's only one little rub. The
Holocaust has been well documented by the
physical evidence. The Serbians' guilt,
and that of Milosevic, has not.
But skepticism, fact-checking, and logic
have become forbidden foreign
languages in the United States,
especially our (laugh track here) "free"
press.
The overwhelming evidence is that there
was never any coordinated campaign
of genocide or ethnic cleansing by
Serbs, no massacres at either Racak or
Srebrenica, and never any such thing as
Serbian "rape camps." The Kosovo
violence was initiated by Albanian
heroin-gangsters, who named themselves
the Kosovo Liberation Army once they
started to get weapons and training
from German and US Intelligence. The
mass exodus out of Kosovo was not
triggered by Serb violence, but by NATO
bombing. The reports of 100,000
Kosovar Albanians killed has yet to be
corroborated with bodies, and is
being quietly scaled ever downward as
the bodies fail to appear. Racak was
shown to be staged. The bodies from the
Srebrenica "massacre" were never
located either, and in fact many of the
"missing" later turned up alive and
accounted for in Bosnian Muslim combat
units outside Srebrenica. The US and
the pseudo-Tribunal have an answer for
the missing evidence, those tens of
thousands of corpses, that is. Right
under the noses of US surveillance
satellites--and I have seen imagery from
them that can spot a motorcycle
and rider--the crafty Serbs, undetected,
moved thousands of decomposing
bodies to other locations... still to be
discovered. (4)
Right!
The break-up of Yugoslavia has been
largely due to the efforts of US and
German gambits, with substantial help
from the International Monetary Fund,
since the late 1980's. To justify this
economic warfare, this trampling of
sovereignty, this military aggression,
these massive violations by NATO and
the US of the Law of Land Warfare and
the Geneva and Hague Conventions, and
the military occupation of the Balkans,
our government and its
international financier pals have had to
concoct an elaborate Manichean
fantasy with Serbs as the heavy.
Don't take my word for it, but don't
look for a one-paragraph rebuttal
either. Understanding requires study and
work. If you're inclined to swim
upstream in this perennial flood of
stubborn American ignorance, read the
research and reports from Michel
Chossudovsky, Diane Johnstone, and Jared
Israel - none of them Serbian or
Yugoslav, and all of them proud
progressives. (5) (6) & (7)
The Hague Tribunal is about war crimes,
all right. It's about covering up
the war crimes of the North American
Treaty Organization and the US
Government.

RAMSEY CLARK SLAMS HAGUE 'TRIBUNAL'
Introduction by Nico Varkevisser [2 August 2001]
Reposted from www.icdsm.org - Please forward & repost!
[Nico Varkevisser is Editor-in-Chief of the
monthly newspaper, 'Targets.' Mr.
Varkevisser is Vice-Chairman of the
International Committee to Defend
Slobodan Milosevic (ICDSM) and its
Coordinator in The Netherlands.]
Yesterday the ICDSM held another
press conference in Amsterdam.
The press was addressed by Ramsey Clark,
former Attorney General of the USA
and Co-Chairman of the ICDSM. Mr. Clark
had spent the better part of three
days meeting with President Slobodan Milosevic,
imprisoned in The Hague.
Posted below is a surprisingly accurate
'Reuters' dispatch covering the press
conference. I say 'surprisingly accurate'
because three days ago 'Reuters'
declared, as if repeating an accepted fact,
that Milosevic:
"...remains in solitary confinement at his
own request." ('Reuters,' 31 July 2001)
Contradicting this lie, Attorney Clark most
strongly protested the fact that
the Tribunal has kept Mr. Milosevic in
solitary confinement going into the
second month, thus violating even the
'Tribunal's' own rules and procedures.
Milosevic wants very much to be with the
other 'prisoners' but 'Tribunal'
officials have refused. In addition, said
Clark, Milosevic is especially
outraged about the insulting and inhumane
conditions under which his wife,
Mira Markovic, is forced to meet with him.
Reporters became somewhat hostile at
this point, demanding to know why the
'Tribunal' would possibly want to cause
problems for the President and his
wife. Clark answered that, obviously,
this was intended to break Milosevic.
"I have seen this in many countries,"
said Clark. "The authorities try to
disorient and weaken a political prisoner,
especially in the first stages of an arrest."
Clark noted that despite these attempts
to break Slobodan Milosevic, he
remains strong, has an excellent spirit,
is very sharp, and wants to argue
his case to expose NATO's aggression
aimed at breaking up and Yugoslavia, to
defend the sovereignty of Yugoslavia and
to defend the people of his country
against US and European plans to take
over and devastate the economy.
Said Clark: "Milosevic says, 'OK, I
didn't choose to be here, but I am here.
So apparently it is my destiny to use
this prison as a platform to help our people.'"

Ramsey Clark: Milosevic To Defend Himself With Legal Help
THE HAGUE, August 2, 2001 (Reuters) -
Slobodan Milosevic will mount his own
''very powerful defense'' against war
crimes charges in The Hague but wants
lawyers to assist him in court, former
U.S. attorney general Ramsey Clark said on Wednesday.
``He is a person who is used to speaking
for himself and he will speak for
himself, but he wants to have the
assistance of counsel, Clark said after
visiting the detained former Yugoslav
president for a third consecutive day
in The Hague.
Milosevic, in a show of contempt for a
court he has branded an ``illegal
instrument of his NATO enemies, made his
first appearance in court last month
alone after opting not to appoint a defense
lawyer.
Milosevic's unorthodox wish to have lawyers
assisting him both in court and
in the U.N. detention unit while declining
to follow the standard practice of
granting power of attorney has proved a
headache for tribunal officials.
``There is no precedence for this. Any
proposals like that would have to be
looked at by the judges and the court
registry, U.N. tribunal spokesman Jim
Landale said.
If he indeed represents himself during
the trial, expected to start next
year, he would be the first defendant
at The Hague tribunal to do so. Legal
experts have suggested such a strategy
would be foolish.
But lawyers supporting Milosevic, including
Clark, have said he wants to seek
expert legal advice without actually
granting power of attorney.
``He will not be represented...He will
have the advice of counsel on a whole
range of things...He is going to mount
a very powerful defense, said Clark, a
member of the International Committee
to Defend Slobodan Milosevic.
Milosevic, accused of atrocities in Kosovo
in 1999, was whisked out of Serbia
in late June to face war crimes charges
at the U.N. International Criminal
Tribunal for former Yugoslavia.
Milosevic is being held in isolation
from The Hague's other 39 detainees. The
U.N. court said the former leader wanted
to be kept apart from other
detainees, but Clark said Milosevic
did want to mix with other detainees.
Clark, 73, a campaigner for causes
often at odds with U.S. authorities,
served as attorney general under President
Lyndon Johnson in the late 1960s.
He condemned the 1999 NATO bombing of
Yugoslavia during the conflict over Kosovo.

Who Is Guilty? Milosevic or NATO?
by Stan Goff
[Stan Goff is a Retired U.S. Special
Forces Master Sargent, an author,
Organizer for the North Carolina
Alliance for Democracy and a member of
the
International Committee to Defend
Slobodan Milosevic. (ICDSM)]
What do you call someone who pays
officials to break the law, threatens
people with violence if they don't do
what he demands, spreads outrageous
lies to impugn people's reputations, and
participates in a plot to
illegally take an unwilling person out
of the country in captivity?
Guilty of bribery, extortion, slander
and kidnapping.
What do you call a government which does
precisely those things?
The United States in Yugoslavia.
Let's get something straight here. The
'War Crimes Tribunal' at the Hague
is no more an impartial judiciary (1)
than Geraldo Rivera is a
neurosurgeon, and Slobodan Milosevic is
no war criminal. These are just
simply facts, and the thing that--even
at 50--still amazes my ass is the
sheep-like, gullible,
we-just-fell-off-the-turnip-truck
acceptance of the
capitalist media's horse-manure by
comfortable fellow Americans.
United States military troops are
occupying the Balkans, many of them with
relatives who might read this, and very
few people seem the least bit
inclined to find out what's really going
on there. So they listen to CNN,
read the 'New York Times' or the 'News
and Observer,' watch PBS, or listen
to NPR, brought to you by... name your
favorite agribusiness or weapons
contractor... and believe them.
I've got a news flash for you, folks.
The media lie. They lie early and
often, and they keep on telling the same
lies over and over, apparently in
the well-founded hope that we will
simply and finally equate repetition
with accuracy. (2)
Slobodan Milosevic is no war criminal.
Nor was he a dictator. (3)
Until the US started a massive campaign
of extortion, bribery and election
rigging in Serbia, he won his elections
fair and square--unlike the current
de facto President of the United States.
Nor did Milosevic ever lead the
non-existent movement for Greater
Serbia. Nor do Serbs collectively "share"
any blame for whatever flavor-of-the-day
atrocity is being invented by the
IMF, the State Department, NATO
Headquarters in Brussels, or that fake
Tribunal.
Serbs are as fractious and pluralistic
as any group, especially about
politics, deeply split even today
between nationalists and socialists. What
they are not, contrary to the recent
resurgence of Serb-bashing, is
self-pitying and paranoid. They are one
of the most stoic, and tolerant,
people in Europe.
The distortions that underwrite this
latest violation of Yugoslav and
International law--the veritable
kidnapping of a former head of
state--would make Joseph Goebbels blush.
Crimes were invented to fit the
punishment of the Serbs. Allegations
were reported as facts, then
referenced later as if they really were
facts. The mounting evidence of a
giant hoax in almost every case has been
completely ignored by capitalist
media. The effect--intended I think--is
to create an impression so
overwhelming of Serbian guilt that to
question it is to be regarded as a
miscreant holocaust denier. Guilt by
analogy. Milosevic equals Hitler,
therefore defending Serbians equals
defending Nazis (a huge irony here,
since Serbs were tenacious and fearless
fighters against the Third Reich).
There's only one little rub. The
Holocaust has been well documented by the
physical evidence. The Serbians' guilt,
and that of Milosevic, has not.
But skepticism, fact-checking, and logic
have become forbidden foreign
languages in the United States,
especially our (laugh track here) "free"
press.
The overwhelming evidence is that there
was never any coordinated campaign
of genocide or ethnic cleansing by
Serbs, no massacres at either Racak or
Srebrenica, and never any such thing as
Serbian "rape camps." The Kosovo
violence was initiated by Albanian
heroin-gangsters, who named themselves
the Kosovo Liberation Army once they
started to get weapons and training
from German and US Intelligence. The
mass exodus out of Kosovo was not
triggered by Serb violence, but by NATO
bombing. The reports of 100,000
Kosovar Albanians killed has yet to be
corroborated with bodies, and is
being quietly scaled ever downward as
the bodies fail to appear. Racak was
shown to be staged. The bodies from the
Srebrenica "massacre" were never
located either, and in fact many of the
"missing" later turned up alive and
accounted for in Bosnian Muslim combat
units outside Srebrenica. The US and
the pseudo-Tribunal have an answer for
the missing evidence, those tens of
thousands of corpses, that is. Right
under the noses of US surveillance
satellites--and I have seen imagery from
them that can spot a motorcycle
and rider--the crafty Serbs, undetected,
moved thousands of decomposing
bodies to other locations... still to be
discovered. (4)
Right!
The break-up of Yugoslavia has been
largely due to the efforts of US and
German gambits, with substantial help
from the International Monetary Fund,
since the late 1980's. To justify this
economic warfare, this trampling of
sovereignty, this military aggression,
these massive violations by NATO and
the US of the Law of Land Warfare and
the Geneva and Hague Conventions, and
the military occupation of the Balkans,
our government and its
international financier pals have had to
concoct an elaborate Manichean
fantasy with Serbs as the heavy.
Don't take my word for it, but don't
look for a one-paragraph rebuttal
either. Understanding requires study and
work. If you're inclined to swim
upstream in this perennial flood of
stubborn American ignorance, read the
research and reports from Michel
Chossudovsky, Diane Johnstone, and Jared
Israel - none of them Serbian or
Yugoslav, and all of them proud
progressives. (5) (6) & (7)
The Hague Tribunal is about war crimes,
all right. It's about covering up
the war crimes of the North American
Treaty Organization and the US
Government.

De sinistres histoires � dormir debout
Le plus r�cent bobard �manant des Balkans et parlant de " g�nocide "
n'est autre que l'horrible histoire �ternellement
ressass�e des " fosses communes " remplies d'Albanais du Kosovo qui,
para�t-il, pars�ment la Serbie. On pr�tend que
les Serbes ont massacr� les Albanais en 1999, mais que, plut�t que de
permettre � l'OTAN de d�couvrir les preuves de
ces crimes, Slobodan Milosevic aurait command� que l'on emport�t les
corps hors de la province afin de les ensevelir
en Serbie.
Examinons l'origine de cette histoire surprenante. La premi�re personne
� avoir pr�tendu ce genre de chose est Natasa
Kandic, qui dirige le Centre juridique humanitaire, un groupe de
Belgrade qui, depuis des ann�es, est � la solde de
George Soros et de l'organisation am�ricaine National Endowment for
Democracy (NED - Fondation nationale pour la
D�mocratie). Au cours des bombardements de 1999, elle accomplit son
devoir et soutint donc la cause de ses
employeurs, l'OTA N. Le 30 avril, elle annon�ait que quelque 800 corps
avaient �t� d�terr�s de leur lieux originaux
d'ensevelissement pour �tre r�enterr�s ailleurs dans la province et en
Serbie. Elle exigea que le nouveau r�gime de
Belgrade r�v�le la " v�rit� " � propos de cet escamotage de preuves.
La date de la demande de Kandic est int�ressante. Un mois plus t�t, le
r�gime de Belgrade avait arr�t� Milosevic - sur
des accusations de corruption, et non de crimes de guerre. Les
accusations relevaient de la plus haute fantaisie et
l'enqu�te n'aboutit � rien. Il �tait pr�vu que Kostunica se rende �
Washington d�but mai. Ses rencontres avec Bush,
Colin Powell, Dick Cheney et Condoleezza Rice furent selon toute
�vidence orageuses. L'administration n'appr�cia
gu�re ses appels du pied. L'aide am�ricaine � la Yougoslavie, lui fit-on
savoir clairement, �tait tributaire de la livraison
en douce de Milosevic au tribunal de La Haye. Belgrade dut all�guer des
" preuves " de crimes de guerre afin de vendre
la politique de " coop�ration " � un public sceptique.
De plus, un magazine local sp�cialis� dans le crime, Timocka Krimi
Revija, avait publi� une histoire concernant un
camion-frigo Mercedes en provenance du Kosovo et rempli de cadavres, et
que l'on avait retir� du Danube en avril
1999. Apr�s avoir r�cup�r� le camion, on avait enterr� les corps. Selon
Zivadin Djordjevic, le plongeur qui avait aid� �
retrouver le camion, celui-ci transportait entre 30 et 50 cadavres.
Beaucoup �taient nus et certaines des femmes
portaient des pantalons de style musulman. Une lourde pierre bloquait la
p�dale de l'acc�l�rateur. Le camion portait des
plaques min�ralogiques du Kosovo et appartenait � une firme albanaise de
de viandes et salaisons. D'apr�s un
commentaire de presse, le plongeur " n'avait pas donn� de d�tails sur la
position des corps dans le camion ". Ce
commentaire ne nous apprend rien. Nous ne savons pas qui �taient les
gens � l'int�rieur du camion ni comment ils
moururent. Le seul indice d'identification, c'�taient les pantalons de
style musulman. Ces personnes peuvent tout aussi
bien avoir ou n'avoir pas �t� des musulmans, ou des Albanais. A aucun
moment, pourtant, l'histoire ne fut pr�sent�e
comme une preuve d�finitive des crimes de guerre serbes et de leur
couverture par Milosevic.
Le 31 juillet, au beau milieu d'un reportage habituel du New York Times
sur le r�gime install� � Belgrade par les
Am�ricains, Carlotta Gall sortat ce petit bijou : " Ce qu'on sait, c'est
que des corps ont �t� jet�s dans des fosses
communes, soit dans le Danube, soit en pleine terre. Les exhumations des
800 et 1000 corps r�pertori�s jusqu'�
pr�sent vont prendre des mois. Le capitaine Karleusa dit que cela va
prendre beaucoup plus longtemps pour �tablir qui
a commandit� le massacre et qui l'a ex�cut� ". Ce qui est �tonnant,
apr�s toutes ces histoires de fosses communes et
de camions de cadavres achemin�s du Kosovo vers la Serbie, c'est que
l'estimation par Karleusa du nombre de corps
ensevelis est identique � celle de Natasa Kandic trois mois plus t�t.
Selon toute �vidence, tous deux ont d� faire
concorder leurs versions de l'histoire.
L'histoire du camion-frigo est si absurde qu'elle aura une dur�e
d'existence un peu plus courte que les autres histoires
de l'OTAN. On nous demande de croire la chose suivante : la Yougoslavie
devait �tre bombard�e vingt-quatre heures
sur vingt-quatre. Et pourtant, l'arm�e a pris la peine de transporter
des millers de corps pour les ensevelir. Etant donn�
qu'un camion ne peut gu�re emporter plus de cinquante cadavres, il
aurait fallu un tr�s grand nombre de camions pour
acheminer des milliers de corps. Les satellites am�ricains surveillaient
�troitement la Yougoslavie et, n�anmoins,
l'OTAN n'a jamais eu le moindre soup�on de ce convoi de camions-frigos.
En outre, jeter des corps dans le Danube n'a
rien d'une id�e tr�s brillante. Le Danube est une voie fluviale tr�s
fr�quent�e. Les risques de collision sont �lev�s. La
destruction de camions Mercedes n'est pas non plus une mesure tr�s
prudente dans un pays appauvri comme la
Yougoslavie. La question se pose donc � nouveau : Pourquoi voudrait-on
transporter des cadavres rien que pour
effacer des preuves ? N'aurait-il pas �t� beaucoup plus facile de les
asperger d'essence, de les br�ler et d'en entererer
les cendres ?
Assez curieusement, le site web du Centre juridique humanitaire donne
une id�e de ce qui s'est r�ellement produit. Le
site v�hicule une histoire tir�e du journal Danas, du 1er juin, lequel
fait �tat de rapports de t�moins visuels � propos de
la d�couverte du camion. L'un des t�moins a effectivement assist� � la
mise � l'eau du camion. Voici ce qu'il dit :
" J'�tais dans un bateau sur le fleuve, � quelque trente m�tres de la
berge quand, vers 2 h 15 du matin, j'ai entendu des
voix. Les sons portent loin, sur le Danube, la nuit. Je ne sais pas
quelle langue ils parlaient, l�-bas, sur la rive - je ne
comprenais pas un mot. Cela aurait pu �tre du turc ou de l'albanais -
qui sait ? Mais je suis certain que ce n'�tait pas
du serbe ni du roumain, langues que je connais tr�s bien. "
L'histoire a pu �chapper aux censeurs du Centre juridique humanitaire.
Les Albanais sont les champions europ�ens du
trafic lucratif d'immigr�s et de prostitu�es. Ceci est une histoire de
gangsters et de trafic d'hommes, et non de crimes
de guerre. Ou plut�t, il s'agit de l'habituelle histoire de la collusion
dans le mensonge du gouvernement et des m�dias.

The Bunker
George Szamuely
Grim Fairytales
The most recent "genocide" hoax from the Balkans is the breathlessly
retold horror story of "mass graves" of Kosovo
Albanians supposedly littering Serbia. The Serbs allegedly murdered the
Albanians in 1999, but rather than have NATO
discover the evidence of this crime, Slobodan Milosevic ordered that the
bodies be taken out of the province and buried
in Serbia.
Let us trace the origin of this amazing story. The first person to make
this claim was Natasa Kandic, who heads the
Humanitarian Law Center, a Belgrade outfit that has been bankrolled for
years by George Soros and the U.S. National
Endowment for Democracy (NED). During the 1999 bombing she did her duty
and promoted the cause of her
paymasters, NATO. On April 30 she announced that some 800 bodies were
removed from their original burial sites in
Kosovo and reburied elsewhere in the province and in Serbia. She
demanded that the new regime in Belgrade reveal the
"truth" about this destruction of evidence.
The timing of Kandic's demand was interesting. One month earlier the
Belgrade regime had arrested Milosevic-on
corruption, not war crimes, charges. The charges were bogus and the
investigation was going nowhere. Kostunica was
scheduled to visit Washington in early May. His meetings with Bush,
Colin Powell, Dick Cheney and Condoleezza Rice
were evidently brutal affairs. The Administration was not happy with his
foot-dragging. U.S. aid to Yugoslavia, it was
made clear to him, was conditional on Milosevic's swift handover to the
Hague Tribunal. Belgrade had to come up with
"evidence" of war crimes to sell the policy of "cooperation" to a
skeptical public.
Next a story appeared in a local crime magazine, Timocka Krimi Revija,
about a Mercedes refrigerator truck from
Kosovo, full of bodies, that was hauled out of the Danube in April 1999.
After the truck was recovered, the bodies were
buried. According to the diver who helped recover the truck, Zivadin
Djordjevic, there were between 30 and 50 bodies
inside. Many were naked and some of the women were wearing Muslim-style
pantaloons. There was a heavy stone
leaning on the accelerator pedal. The truck had Kosovo license plates
and belonged to an Albanian meat processing
firm. According to a wire story, the diver "provided no details of where
and how the bodies were disposed." The story
tells us nothing. We do not know who the people inside the truck were,
or how they died. The only identifying feature
was the Muslim-style pantaloons. They may or may not have been Muslims,
may or may not have been Albanians. Yet
in no time at all, the story was presented as conclusive proof of
Serbian war crimes and Milosevic's cover-up thereof.
On July 31, in the middle of a standard New York Times puff piece on the
U.S.-installed Belgrade regime, Carlotta Gall
uttered this gem: "What is known is that bodies were dumped in mass
graves, either in the Danube or on land. The
exhumations of the 800 to 1000 bodies known about so far will take
months. Captain Karleusa says he will need much
longer to establish who gave the orders for the carnage and who carried
it out." Amazing that after all the tales of mass
graves and trucks filled with bodies going from Kosovo to Serbia,
Karleusa's estimate of the number of bodies buried is
identical to Natasa Kandic's from three months earlier. They evidently
have to keep their stories straight.
The refrigerator truck story is so absurd that it will have an even
shorter shelf life than NATO's other stories. We are
asked to believe the following: Yugoslavia was being bombed
round-the-clock. Yet the army took the trouble to
transport thousands of bodies for burial. Given a truck limit of 50
bodies, disposing of thousands of bodies would need a
lot of trucks. U.S. satellites were closely monitoring Yugoslavia, yet
NATO never had the slightest inkling of this
refrigerator truck convoy. Moreover, dumping bodies into the Danube is
not the brightest of ideas. The Danube is a
busy waterway. The chances of collision are high. Nor is destroying
Mercedes trucks the most prudent course for an
impoverished country like Yugoslavia. Then again, why would one want to
transport dead bodies just to remove
evidence? Wouldn't dousing them in gasoline, setting fire to them and
burying the ashes be a lot easier?
Curiously enough, the Humanitarian Law Center's website gives a clue as
to what really happened. The site carries a
story from the newspaper Danas, dated June 1, which reported eyewitness
accounts of the recovery of the truck. Yet
one of the eyewitnesses actually saw the dumping of the truck. Here is
what he says: "I was in a boat on the river, only
some thirty meters from the bank, when I heard voices about 2.15 a.m.
Sound carries a long way on the Danube at night.
I don't know what language they were speaking there on the bank-I didn't
understand any of the words. It might have
been Turkish or Albanian-who knows. But I'm certain it wasn't Serbian or
Romanian, which I know well."
The story must have slipped past the Humanitarian Law Center's censors.
Albanians are Europe's leaders in the
lucrative business of immigrant and prostitute trafficking. This is a
story of gangsters and human trafficking, not war
crimes. Or rather it is the usual story of government and media
collusion in lying.

Le plus r�cent bobard �manant des Balkans et parlant de " g�nocide "
n'est autre que l'horrible histoire �ternellement
ressass�e des " fosses communes " remplies d'Albanais du Kosovo qui,
para�t-il, pars�ment la Serbie. On pr�tend que
les Serbes ont massacr� les Albanais en 1999, mais que, plut�t que de
permettre � l'OTAN de d�couvrir les preuves de
ces crimes, Slobodan Milosevic aurait command� que l'on emport�t les
corps hors de la province afin de les ensevelir
en Serbie.
Examinons l'origine de cette histoire surprenante. La premi�re personne
� avoir pr�tendu ce genre de chose est Natasa
Kandic, qui dirige le Centre juridique humanitaire, un groupe de
Belgrade qui, depuis des ann�es, est � la solde de
George Soros et de l'organisation am�ricaine National Endowment for
Democracy (NED - Fondation nationale pour la
D�mocratie). Au cours des bombardements de 1999, elle accomplit son
devoir et soutint donc la cause de ses
employeurs, l'OTA N. Le 30 avril, elle annon�ait que quelque 800 corps
avaient �t� d�terr�s de leur lieux originaux
d'ensevelissement pour �tre r�enterr�s ailleurs dans la province et en
Serbie. Elle exigea que le nouveau r�gime de
Belgrade r�v�le la " v�rit� " � propos de cet escamotage de preuves.
La date de la demande de Kandic est int�ressante. Un mois plus t�t, le
r�gime de Belgrade avait arr�t� Milosevic - sur
des accusations de corruption, et non de crimes de guerre. Les
accusations relevaient de la plus haute fantaisie et
l'enqu�te n'aboutit � rien. Il �tait pr�vu que Kostunica se rende �
Washington d�but mai. Ses rencontres avec Bush,
Colin Powell, Dick Cheney et Condoleezza Rice furent selon toute
�vidence orageuses. L'administration n'appr�cia
gu�re ses appels du pied. L'aide am�ricaine � la Yougoslavie, lui fit-on
savoir clairement, �tait tributaire de la livraison
en douce de Milosevic au tribunal de La Haye. Belgrade dut all�guer des
" preuves " de crimes de guerre afin de vendre
la politique de " coop�ration " � un public sceptique.
De plus, un magazine local sp�cialis� dans le crime, Timocka Krimi
Revija, avait publi� une histoire concernant un
camion-frigo Mercedes en provenance du Kosovo et rempli de cadavres, et
que l'on avait retir� du Danube en avril
1999. Apr�s avoir r�cup�r� le camion, on avait enterr� les corps. Selon
Zivadin Djordjevic, le plongeur qui avait aid� �
retrouver le camion, celui-ci transportait entre 30 et 50 cadavres.
Beaucoup �taient nus et certaines des femmes
portaient des pantalons de style musulman. Une lourde pierre bloquait la
p�dale de l'acc�l�rateur. Le camion portait des
plaques min�ralogiques du Kosovo et appartenait � une firme albanaise de
de viandes et salaisons. D'apr�s un
commentaire de presse, le plongeur " n'avait pas donn� de d�tails sur la
position des corps dans le camion ". Ce
commentaire ne nous apprend rien. Nous ne savons pas qui �taient les
gens � l'int�rieur du camion ni comment ils
moururent. Le seul indice d'identification, c'�taient les pantalons de
style musulman. Ces personnes peuvent tout aussi
bien avoir ou n'avoir pas �t� des musulmans, ou des Albanais. A aucun
moment, pourtant, l'histoire ne fut pr�sent�e
comme une preuve d�finitive des crimes de guerre serbes et de leur
couverture par Milosevic.
Le 31 juillet, au beau milieu d'un reportage habituel du New York Times
sur le r�gime install� � Belgrade par les
Am�ricains, Carlotta Gall sortat ce petit bijou : " Ce qu'on sait, c'est
que des corps ont �t� jet�s dans des fosses
communes, soit dans le Danube, soit en pleine terre. Les exhumations des
800 et 1000 corps r�pertori�s jusqu'�
pr�sent vont prendre des mois. Le capitaine Karleusa dit que cela va
prendre beaucoup plus longtemps pour �tablir qui
a commandit� le massacre et qui l'a ex�cut� ". Ce qui est �tonnant,
apr�s toutes ces histoires de fosses communes et
de camions de cadavres achemin�s du Kosovo vers la Serbie, c'est que
l'estimation par Karleusa du nombre de corps
ensevelis est identique � celle de Natasa Kandic trois mois plus t�t.
Selon toute �vidence, tous deux ont d� faire
concorder leurs versions de l'histoire.
L'histoire du camion-frigo est si absurde qu'elle aura une dur�e
d'existence un peu plus courte que les autres histoires
de l'OTAN. On nous demande de croire la chose suivante : la Yougoslavie
devait �tre bombard�e vingt-quatre heures
sur vingt-quatre. Et pourtant, l'arm�e a pris la peine de transporter
des millers de corps pour les ensevelir. Etant donn�
qu'un camion ne peut gu�re emporter plus de cinquante cadavres, il
aurait fallu un tr�s grand nombre de camions pour
acheminer des milliers de corps. Les satellites am�ricains surveillaient
�troitement la Yougoslavie et, n�anmoins,
l'OTAN n'a jamais eu le moindre soup�on de ce convoi de camions-frigos.
En outre, jeter des corps dans le Danube n'a
rien d'une id�e tr�s brillante. Le Danube est une voie fluviale tr�s
fr�quent�e. Les risques de collision sont �lev�s. La
destruction de camions Mercedes n'est pas non plus une mesure tr�s
prudente dans un pays appauvri comme la
Yougoslavie. La question se pose donc � nouveau : Pourquoi voudrait-on
transporter des cadavres rien que pour
effacer des preuves ? N'aurait-il pas �t� beaucoup plus facile de les
asperger d'essence, de les br�ler et d'en entererer
les cendres ?
Assez curieusement, le site web du Centre juridique humanitaire donne
une id�e de ce qui s'est r�ellement produit. Le
site v�hicule une histoire tir�e du journal Danas, du 1er juin, lequel
fait �tat de rapports de t�moins visuels � propos de
la d�couverte du camion. L'un des t�moins a effectivement assist� � la
mise � l'eau du camion. Voici ce qu'il dit :
" J'�tais dans un bateau sur le fleuve, � quelque trente m�tres de la
berge quand, vers 2 h 15 du matin, j'ai entendu des
voix. Les sons portent loin, sur le Danube, la nuit. Je ne sais pas
quelle langue ils parlaient, l�-bas, sur la rive - je ne
comprenais pas un mot. Cela aurait pu �tre du turc ou de l'albanais -
qui sait ? Mais je suis certain que ce n'�tait pas
du serbe ni du roumain, langues que je connais tr�s bien. "
L'histoire a pu �chapper aux censeurs du Centre juridique humanitaire.
Les Albanais sont les champions europ�ens du
trafic lucratif d'immigr�s et de prostitu�es. Ceci est une histoire de
gangsters et de trafic d'hommes, et non de crimes
de guerre. Ou plut�t, il s'agit de l'habituelle histoire de la collusion
dans le mensonge du gouvernement et des m�dias.

The Bunker
George Szamuely
Grim Fairytales
The most recent "genocide" hoax from the Balkans is the breathlessly
retold horror story of "mass graves" of Kosovo
Albanians supposedly littering Serbia. The Serbs allegedly murdered the
Albanians in 1999, but rather than have NATO
discover the evidence of this crime, Slobodan Milosevic ordered that the
bodies be taken out of the province and buried
in Serbia.
Let us trace the origin of this amazing story. The first person to make
this claim was Natasa Kandic, who heads the
Humanitarian Law Center, a Belgrade outfit that has been bankrolled for
years by George Soros and the U.S. National
Endowment for Democracy (NED). During the 1999 bombing she did her duty
and promoted the cause of her
paymasters, NATO. On April 30 she announced that some 800 bodies were
removed from their original burial sites in
Kosovo and reburied elsewhere in the province and in Serbia. She
demanded that the new regime in Belgrade reveal the
"truth" about this destruction of evidence.
The timing of Kandic's demand was interesting. One month earlier the
Belgrade regime had arrested Milosevic-on
corruption, not war crimes, charges. The charges were bogus and the
investigation was going nowhere. Kostunica was
scheduled to visit Washington in early May. His meetings with Bush,
Colin Powell, Dick Cheney and Condoleezza Rice
were evidently brutal affairs. The Administration was not happy with his
foot-dragging. U.S. aid to Yugoslavia, it was
made clear to him, was conditional on Milosevic's swift handover to the
Hague Tribunal. Belgrade had to come up with
"evidence" of war crimes to sell the policy of "cooperation" to a
skeptical public.
Next a story appeared in a local crime magazine, Timocka Krimi Revija,
about a Mercedes refrigerator truck from
Kosovo, full of bodies, that was hauled out of the Danube in April 1999.
After the truck was recovered, the bodies were
buried. According to the diver who helped recover the truck, Zivadin
Djordjevic, there were between 30 and 50 bodies
inside. Many were naked and some of the women were wearing Muslim-style
pantaloons. There was a heavy stone
leaning on the accelerator pedal. The truck had Kosovo license plates
and belonged to an Albanian meat processing
firm. According to a wire story, the diver "provided no details of where
and how the bodies were disposed." The story
tells us nothing. We do not know who the people inside the truck were,
or how they died. The only identifying feature
was the Muslim-style pantaloons. They may or may not have been Muslims,
may or may not have been Albanians. Yet
in no time at all, the story was presented as conclusive proof of
Serbian war crimes and Milosevic's cover-up thereof.
On July 31, in the middle of a standard New York Times puff piece on the
U.S.-installed Belgrade regime, Carlotta Gall
uttered this gem: "What is known is that bodies were dumped in mass
graves, either in the Danube or on land. The
exhumations of the 800 to 1000 bodies known about so far will take
months. Captain Karleusa says he will need much
longer to establish who gave the orders for the carnage and who carried
it out." Amazing that after all the tales of mass
graves and trucks filled with bodies going from Kosovo to Serbia,
Karleusa's estimate of the number of bodies buried is
identical to Natasa Kandic's from three months earlier. They evidently
have to keep their stories straight.
The refrigerator truck story is so absurd that it will have an even
shorter shelf life than NATO's other stories. We are
asked to believe the following: Yugoslavia was being bombed
round-the-clock. Yet the army took the trouble to
transport thousands of bodies for burial. Given a truck limit of 50
bodies, disposing of thousands of bodies would need a
lot of trucks. U.S. satellites were closely monitoring Yugoslavia, yet
NATO never had the slightest inkling of this
refrigerator truck convoy. Moreover, dumping bodies into the Danube is
not the brightest of ideas. The Danube is a
busy waterway. The chances of collision are high. Nor is destroying
Mercedes trucks the most prudent course for an
impoverished country like Yugoslavia. Then again, why would one want to
transport dead bodies just to remove
evidence? Wouldn't dousing them in gasoline, setting fire to them and
burying the ashes be a lot easier?
Curiously enough, the Humanitarian Law Center's website gives a clue as
to what really happened. The site carries a
story from the newspaper Danas, dated June 1, which reported eyewitness
accounts of the recovery of the truck. Yet
one of the eyewitnesses actually saw the dumping of the truck. Here is
what he says: "I was in a boat on the river, only
some thirty meters from the bank, when I heard voices about 2.15 a.m.
Sound carries a long way on the Danube at night.
I don't know what language they were speaking there on the bank-I didn't
understand any of the words. It might have
been Turkish or Albanian-who knows. But I'm certain it wasn't Serbian or
Romanian, which I know well."
The story must have slipped past the Humanitarian Law Center's censors.
Albanians are Europe's leaders in the
lucrative business of immigrant and prostitute trafficking. This is a
story of gangsters and human trafficking, not war
crimes. Or rather it is the usual story of government and media
collusion in lying.

Rilanciare le adozioni a distanza dei
figli degli operai della ZASTAVA!
E' pervenuto oggi 30/8/01, a noi come a molte altre realta'
impegnate nella solidarieta' con le popolazioni della Jugoslavia,
questo accorato ed importante appello dalla Zastava.
Segnaliamo che per informazioni piu' dettagliate sulla
possibilita' di "adottare a distanza" i figli degli operai di
Kragujevac ci si puo' rivolgere, tra gli altri, alla
Associazione SOS JUGOSLAVIA (Torino):
telefono 338-1755563 - posta elettronica enricoto@...

Care amiche, cari amici italiani,
Stimatissime Associazioni,
L'attenzione della comunita internazionale e dei
media verso la situazione jugoslava da un po' di
tempo � diminuita. Questo potrebbe far pensare
ad una situazione generale migliorata dalla fine dei
bombardamenti. La dura realta � purtroppo molto
diversa, per tutto il paese, ma sopratutto per i
lavoratori, le lavoratrici e le loro famiglie. La
loro situazione � molta dura ed al limite,
paradossalmente, � piu difficile del dopo
bombardamenti di due anni fa; e l'inverno che
ci aspetta fa molta paura.
Il paniere che serve ad una famiglia � oggi
valutato in 400 DM mensili; i salari, per chi
lavora tutto il mese, e sono davvero molto
pochi, � di circa 120 DM. Vi � stato nell'
ultimo anno un aumento dei prezzi sino al
300%, e gi� di nuovo sono annunciati per settembre
nuovi aumenti tra cui quelli dell'energia
elettrica del 60% (il riscaldamento delle
abitazioni cosi come le cucine per cucinare
funzionano quasi esclusivamente a corrente
elettrica).
In questo quadro di generale difficolt� si
colloca la situazione di Kragujevac (cuore operaio per
eccelenza del paese) e particolarmente dei
lavoratori della ZASTAVA. Situazione della quale
vogliamo aggiornarvi. La privatizzazione
della ZASTAVA prevede la scomposizione del gruppo in
piccole unit� produttive indipendenti l'una
dall altra. Il programma inoltre prevede la fortissima
riduzione degli occupati; piu di 15.000 lavoratori
e lavoratrici su 30.000 sono interessati a questa
riduzione, con particolare incidenza dei
licenziamenti nella ZASTAVA AUTOMOBILI, dove
rimarranno occupati solo 3.500 degli attuali
13.500.
Le alternative che sono state proposte erano
solo due, ed entrambe molto pesanti per i dipendenti,
infatti il referendum proposto obbligava i
lavoratori a scegliere tra :
1. accettazione del programa governativo
(come sopra esporto con la riduzione del personale).
2. liquidazione e chiusura di tutto il Gruppo.
Per i lavoratori in eccedenza, identificati
con appositi elenchi stilati dai dirigenti
in base a criteri non condivisibili (esempio: in
elenco si trovano marito e moglie, unico reddito
familiare, invalidi e lavoratori piu anziani
difficilmente ricollocabili in un mercato di
lavoro fermo), non ci sono alternative; infatti
a questi lavoratori posti nelle liste di
licenziamento vengono offerte due opzioni :
1. versamento sino ad ora (non si sa quando
e non si sa come) di 200DM per ogni anno di
anzianit� di fabbrica (nel nostro Contratto di
lavoro non esiste trattamento di fine rapporto).
Questa opzione non prevede ulteriori sussidi
anche se un lavoratore si iscrive all' Ufficio
di collocamento pubblico.
2. Come seconda opzione viene proposta l'iscrizione
all' Ufficio mobilit� - collocamento istituito dal
Gruppo ZASTAVA con il compito di tentare una,
attualmente, molto difficile ricollocazione visto
l'attuale generale ristrutturazione di tutte
le aziende. L'accettazione di tale opzione prevede
retroattivamente un sussidio di 45% del salario
mensile percepito secondo la sua qualifica per un
massimo di 4 anni. Chi sceglie di entrare in
queste liste ha l'obbligo di accettare una eventuale
possibile ricollocazione sino a 60 km di distanza;
cosa per noi molto problematica poich� non, esiste un
trasporto pubblico che possa permettere di
affrontare tale distanza, e, l'uso dell'
automobile privata, che non tutti hanno,
avrebbe un costo in benzina esorbitante per noi
poiche come sapere, la benzina da
noi costa 1400 lire al litro; per non parlare
poi del tempo necessario per, recarsi e tornare
dal lavoro, visto l'attuale rete stradale
disastrata, per non citare il nostro parco
macchine molto vecchio con tutti i
problemi conseguenti.
Vi � un terzo provvedimento e riguarda i
lavoratori posti nelle liste di licenziamento
a cui mancano 6 o meno anni al pensionamento.
Questi lavoratori potranno solo scriversi
all' ufficio di collocamento
pubblico o a quello del Gruppo ZASTAVA.
Se scelgono iscrizione al Collocamento
pubblico la loro indennit� sar� non meno
di 60% del salario medio che percepiva negli
ultimi 3 mesi maggiorato del 2% per ogni
anno di anzianita aziendale. Tale
salario comunque non potr� essere minore
del 40% ne superiore del 60% del reddito
medio attuale.
Questa scelta � legata all' anzianit� di
fabbrica di almeno 25 anni; e sar� erogato,
per un minimo di 3 mesi sino ad un massimo di
24 mesi.
Chi non accetta i provvedimenti proposti e
verr� licenziato non avr� diritto ad alcun
sussidio neppure se si iscriver� al' Ufficio
di collocamento pubblico.
Cari amici,
I nostri bambini a settembre riprenderanno
a frequentare la scuola � le loro famiglie saranno impegnate
in uno sforzo economico non indifferente
poiche, non solo dovranno comprare l'occorrente per l'anno
scolastico, ma dovranno anche pagare tutti
i libri di testo dalla 1. elementare in poi.
Per l'inverno che come sapete, nei Balcani e
molto duro, molte famiglie non potendo pagare le bollette
dell' energia elettrica necessaria per scaldare
le abitazioni, si stanno preoccupando di acquistare
almeno un po di legna. Il sindacato che negli
inverni precedenti aveva fornito ai lavoratori del
legname, attualmente non e pi� in grado di fare
cio per mancanza di fondi. I versamenti dei contributi
sindacali sono in continua diminuzione a causa dei
lunghi periodi di assenza dal lavoro per ridotta
attivita aziendale, ed, ora, verr� ulteriormente
accentuata tale riduzione dalle migliaia e migliaia di
licenziamenti.
Infine, tutti i giorni nei nostri uffici sindacali
si moltiplicano le richieste di aiuto da parte dei lavoratori
per poter sopravvivere e per poter far sopravvivere
i propri figli. Inoltre, � in continuo aumento anche
la richiesta di aiuti per curare, sopratutto, bambini
malati di gravi patologie; le pi� frequenti sono
leucemie, tumori, diabete, malatie cardiache, asmatiche,
e psicosomatiche.
In questa difficile situazione riteniamo che sia
stato, e sia, per il futuro di vitale importanza il poter
contare ancora sugli aiuti ai bambini con le adozioni
a distanza, poich� sono loro le vittime innocenti
delle colpe e degli errori degli adulti. Il poter
contare su questi aiuti, e in questo momento cosi difficile,
(i 16.000 licenziamenti sono un duro colpo per decine
migliaia di persone) � una speranza per il futuro;
Speranza nel futuro che non si piu negare ad un bambino.
Le adozioni a distanza sono state e sono un grande
aiuto anche morale ed un grande gesto di solidariet�
tra lavoratori.
Gli italiani e le italiane sono stati i soli ad attuare
questa forma di aiuto e solidariet� ed hanno lasciato
un segno di reale amicizia e fraternita.
L'ufficio adozioni a nome anche di tutti i lavoratori
e lavoratrici della ZASTAVA e dei loro bambini
desidera ringraziare tutti coloro che sino ad ora
hanno dimostrato una reale solidariet�.
Per l'Ufficio adozioni - Ufficio rapporti internazionali

POPULAR FRONT FOR THE LIBERATION OF PALESTINE
============================================
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) mourns the
death of its leader, the general secretary, Abu Ali Mustafa, who was
assassinated by the Israeli army on the morning of 27 August 2001. Abu
Ali Mustafa, the head of the second largest group within the Palestine
Liberation Organization (PLO), was murdered by Sharon and his
government. Sharon, however, acts with the full support and backing of
the U.S. administration who bears full responsibility for the new
escalation in the Middle East, due to its uncritical, unconditional,
and blind support of the Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands.
Abu Ali Mustafa was elected general secretary of the PFLP last year,
after Dr. George Habash (Al-Hakim) stepped down from the role. Abu
Ali, a long-standing comrade of Al-Hakim, was a member of the PFLP
since its inception in 1967. Abu Ali held the position of deputy
general secretary until the PFLP�s Sixth National Conference, where he
was elected general secretary.
Born in Palestine in 1938 in Arraba, near Jenin, Abu Ali lived most of
his adult life in exile until he returned home in 1999. He was part of
the resistance movement against the Israeli occupation and fulfilled
his duties from abroad as well as from Palestine.
In representing the PFLP, Abu Ali understood clearly his role and the
role of the PFLP in expressing a radical humanistic vision for the
Middle East problem. He was adamant and articulate in presenting this
vision and loyal to the principles of the party. He defended the
Palestinian cause and the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people,
foremost among them, the right of refugees to return and the right to
establish a sovereign and independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem
as its capital. He called for the dismantling of all Israeli
settlements and for continuing the Palestinian resistance movement
until the Israeli occupation is brought to an end.
He presented the vision of an all-encompassing Palestinian state where
people would live together in freedom regardless of their race,
religion, or color.
He called for a true democratic society where the rights of the
majority are protected by the fulfillment of the rights of the
minorities. He called the Palestinian resistance movement against the
Israeli racist, colonialist occupation, a duty for every Palestinian
and for every person who believes in equality, justice, and peace.
Abu Ali Mustafa lived and died defending the Palestinian cause and the
rights of the Palestinian people.
As the PFLP, and all the Palestinian people, mourn its leader, the PFLP
vows to continue the Intifada and the Palestinian resistance movement
until the Israeli occupation is over.
The Life of Abu Ali Mustafa
==================
Abu Ali Mustafa (Mustafa Ali Al-Ali Zabri) joined the Arab National
Movement in 1955 and became a member of the Arab National Association
in Amman.
Together with his comrades and colleagues, he confronted the Jordanian
government, calling for the annulment of the Jordanian-British pact and
the dismissal of British officers from the Jordanian army.
In April 1957, he was arrested and imprisoned for several months,
shortly after the Jordanian parliament was dissolved and the Suleiman
Nabulsi government was dismissed. During that time, political parties
were banned and Abi Ali was arrested again with many others who were
tried in a military court. He was sentenced to five years in Jafer
Prison in east Jordan.
After being released from prison in 1961, Abu Ali Mustafa continued his
political work with the Arab National Movement and became responsible
for the Northern District of the West Bank. He founded and built two
organizations, one public, and one underground.
In 1966, Abu Ali was arrested again during a widespread operation
organized by the Jordanian government against the Arab National
Movement. Abu Ali was imprisoned without trial for several months in
Zarka Prison in Jordan.
After the 1967 War, Abu Ali Mustafa joined Dr. George Habash in forming
the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. He led the first
commandos through the Jordan River inside Palestine and started forming
the underground body of the PFLP. The Israelis searched in vain for
him while he was hiding out in the West Bank. After several months, he
secretly returned to Jordan.
In addition to being responsible for the PFLP in the West Bank, Abu Ali
Mustafa became the commando-in-chief of the PFLP military forces
(including the period comprising the battles in Amman in September 1970
and the battle of Ajloun in July 1971). Afterwards, he left secretly
for Lebanon.
In 1972, at the Third National Conference of the PFLP, Abu Ali was
elected deputy general secretary. From 1987 until 1991 he was a member
of the Executive Committee of the PLO.
At the PFLP Sixth National Conference in July 2000, Abu Ali was elected
general secretary.

DR. GEORGE HABASH
Founder and Former Head of the Popular Front for the Liberation of
Palestine
27 August 2001 - Damascus
To the Palestinian people
To the Arab masses
Today I received with great sadness the news about the assassination of
the leader Abu Ali Mustafa by Sharon and his Zionist gang. This heinous
crime that has robbed us of our long-standing comrade for over half a
century, reaffirms that the Zionist enemy is determined to annihilate
the leaders of our revolution and its cadres in order to force us to
surrender.
This enemy has apparently not learned the lessons of history. The enemy
has not yet learned that the Palestinian people, who have offered
hundreds of leaders and thousands of fighters, will not kneel in
surrender. On the contrary, we will persevere in the struggle no matter
how long it takes to regain our rights and the rights of our nation. We
will remain steadfast in the struggle until the Zionist, colonialist
project is defeated.
On this day we remember Ghassan Kanafani, Guevara Gaza, Al Amassi, Abu
Jihad, Abu Iyad, Faisal Husseini; and before them we remember Al-Qassam
and Abd al-Qader Al-Husseini, and countless others who have fallen in
the battle for Palestine. Their sacrifice and their memory motivates us
to persevere.
As I convey to our people and to the Arab Nation the loss of Abu Ali
Mustafa whose determination, courage, and strength distinguished him
over so many years, I assure you that the shedding of his blood will not
be in vain. His comrades and his people will inhale the strength of his
soul and become stronger and more determined to continue the struggle
for freedom and independence.
We are proud to remember that until his death, Abu Ali Mustafa
proclaimed loudly and clearly that the foul war of Sharon will not
frighten us. Neither will it subdue us or force us to deviate the path
of revolution -- the path to freedom and victory.
Our people, who have lost a teacher and a leader, know that Abu Ali
Mustafa was an exceptional man who had the charism of a great leader.
Our people will continue to learn from him and from his spirit of
resistance -- his patience, his determination, his strong will to force
out the occupier and fulfill the dream of the right to return and the
establishment of an independent, sovereign Palestinian state with
Jerusalem as its capital.
On this sad and painful occasion, I turn to all brave comrades of the
PFLP and all members of the Palestinian revolution at home and abroad: I
call on them to remain faithful, not only to Abu Ali Mustafa but also to
all those who have sacrificed their blood for the sake of Palestine and
for the Arab Cause. We promise you, dear Abu Ali, that the Popular
Front that you helped to establish on the foundation of a spirit of
resistance will continue to march on the same road, no matter how long
and treacherous it is, no matter how much we will have to sacrifice.
The destructive tactics of the enemy will never kill our steadfastness
or our will to resist.
