[Emperor's Clothes]
SERB SOCIALISTS CALL 'AID' PROMISES SUCKER
BAIT
Socialist Party of Serbia blasts the
"Washington-has-Yugoslavia-over-a-barrel"
argument. [31 May 2001]
Yugoslav authorities - including Voyislav Koshtunitsa
and Zoran Djindjic - are going all out to push a law
through the Yugoslav Federal Parliament. That law
would legalize cooperation with the notorious Hague
War Crimes Tribunal. The Montenegrin Socialists, who
hold the decisive votes in Parliament, have so far held
firm against this law.
Meanwhile, many Yugoslavs believe the claim made by
the Belgrade authorities that if Yugoslavia does not
help railroad Yugoslav leaders to the Hague Tribunal,
the U.S. will prevent a June Donors' Conference from
giving Yugoslavia much-needed aid.
People are being tricked, says the Socialist Party of
Serbia. Here's their scathing refutation of the "we have
to do it because we're being financially blackmailed"
argument.
-- Jared Israel
WE ACCUSE:
AID PROMISES ARE A TRAITOROUS LIE!
Socialist Party of Serbia Statement, 31 May
For the leaders of a country to tell the people in that
country that they should extradite patriots in exchange
for money from the forces which have bombed that
country - is an outrage.
But for leaders of a country to pretend that they are
getting money from the bombers when they know
perfectly well they are not - to tell the people that they
should support the jailing of their patriots in exchange
for money which these leaders know does not exist -
this is the worst treason.
The present authorities in Belgrade are guilty of
treason.
No Donors' Conference has ever given any money to
any country. The term "Donors'' is itself a deception.
The proper title is ''Creditors' Conference.'' If a
"Donors' Conference" takes place in June it will be a
meeting of the banks that claim Yugoslavia owes them
money. The purpose of that meeting, like the purpose
of all Donors' Conferences, will be to plan how to sell
Yugoslav property so they can get back the money they
claim they are owed as quickly as possible.
To whom will they sell Yugoslav industries to get their
money? To themselves basically.
How much will they sell it for? Pennies on the dollar.
How much of the so-called Yugoslav debt will get paid
in this way? Very little.
What will happen to the industry that the 'Donors'
scoop up in this fashion? Wherever such industries
might compete with some industry from the 'Donor'
countries, the factories will be closed down.
Let us take an example that occurred in Hungary, a
country whose leaders have more than cooperated with
the U.S. The U.S. firm, General Electric, bought the big
light bulb factory in Hungary and closed it down. Now
Hungarians have to buy light bulbs imported by GE.
This has happened in dozens of countries.
Donors' Conferences helped plan the devastation of
the economies of:
* Ukraine - went from the bread basket of
Europe to being dependant on Western surplus
"food")
* Bulgaria - industry stripped and shut down)
* Russia - wages fell almost 90% overnight)
* Vietnam - after the "Donors' Conference" its
industry was stripped to raise the money to pay
off 'debts'. This was particularly vicious
because those 'debts' had been accumulated by
the puppet regime of South Vietnam. South
Vietnam incurred the 'debts' when it bought
weapons from the U.S. to fight Vietnamese
patriots!
That's what a Donors' Conference does.
Sometimes the real work takes place after the official
Conference is over, in meetings of the so-called Paris
and London Clubs, which are made up, respectively, of
big commercial and national banks from the US and
Europe.
But one thing no Donors' Conference has ever,
anywhere in the world done is give 1 billion dollars - or
in fact any money - to a country which supposedly
owes these banks money. If they do lend any money on
paper they immediately take it away.
That is, a little money may be lent with one hand, but it
will be immediately taken away with the other hand, to
"repay the debt."
This has already happened with millions of dollars
supposedly "given" to Yugoslavia by the international
community. As is reported in a text by Dr. Prof. Michel
Chossudovsky: "
"The [IMF] Board approved a loan [of] US $151
million under the IMF's policy on emergency
post-conflict assistance in support of a
program to stabilize the Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia's economy and help rebuild
administrative capacities. Of this amount, the
[Belgrade] authorities will draw... US $130
million to repay the bridge loans they received
[from Switzerland and Norway] to eliminate
arrears with the IMF."" (Quoted in "Economic
Terrorism," by Dr. Prof. Michel Chossudovsky)
In other words, the authorities in Belgrade borrowed
money from Switzerland and Norway to pay money
owed to the IMF. Then they borrowed money from the
IMF - and that was used to pay Switzerland and
Norway!
This is a con game.
Sometimes the truth about the phony "Donors'
Conferences" leaks out. Consider this excerpt from a
'Reuters' news dispatch. 'Reuters' lists all the terrible
things that will happen if Yugoslavia does not
cooperate. The first thing is:
1. "The US will oppose Yugoslav loans and
assistance from international financial
institutions such as the International Monetary
Fund and World Bank. At stake will be a
planned $260 million loan from the IMF to back
up reform of an economy on the verge of
collapse after years of sanctions and warfare."
NOTE that they speak of loan not gift. No donation
here!
And keep this in mind: every country that has relied on
these phony loans has suffered. For 8 years we had no
loans. But Rumania and Bulgaria which had loans lost
all their industry and now their unemployed come to
Yugoslavia looking for work. We will always be better
off helping ourselves than being saddled with parasites
from the International Monetary Fund and World Bank
who are in business to strip countries like ours of
everything we have sweated to build.
Here's the second 'disastrous' consequence of not
cooperating with Washington:
2. "[This will mean putting off] Belgrade's plans
to start negotiating a debt settlement with the
Paris Club of sovereign creditors and
commercial banks of the London Club... Of its
total $12.2 billion external debt, Yugoslavia
owes some $5 billion to the Paris Club and
around $3 billion to the London Club."
('Reuters', April 2, 2001)
The 'Reuters' article talks about the Donors'
Conference lending Yugoslavia $260 million. Based on
much past experience, this money may never be
loaned. But even if it were actually loaned to
Yugoslavia, it would immediately be used to pay back
part of the supposed debt. No money would go to the
economy or reach ordinary people.
And look at what else the article says won't happen if
Yugoslavia fails to cooperate:
* Failure to cooperate would mean putting off
"Belgrade's plans to start negotiating a debt settlement
with the Paris Club of sovereign creditors and
commercial banks of the London Club. "
How much money is involved in this debt that
Yugoslavia would not have the pleasure of starting to
repay?
"Of its total $12.2 billion external debt, Yugoslavia
owes some $5 billion to the Paris Club and around
$3 billion to the London Club." ('Reuters')
So the "international community" claims Yugoslavia
owes it at least $12 billion (US). And if Yugoslavia does
not hand over Milosevic it will not have the pleasure of
stripping all its industry to repay this debt. Wouldn't
that be terrible?
And how does the "international community" figure that
Yugoslavia owes it $12.2 billion dollars? This is almost
entirely interest on debts supposedly owed by the now
nonexistent Yugoslav Socialist Republic. Here is a
news report from Dec. 31, 1992, which explains it all:
"From: 'Facts on File World News Digest,'
December 31, 1992
"Headline: IMF Revokes Yugoslavia's
Membership
"Text: The International Monetary Fund
December 15 revoked Yugoslavia's membership
and apportioned the country's foreign debt
among what the financial institution designated
as Yugoslavia's five successor republics. The
IMF took the action on the grounds that
Yugoslavia had ceased to exist as a legal entity.
"Yugoslavia's foreign debt was about $15
billion, including $217 million owed to the IMF
and $2 billion owed to the World Bank.
"A total of 36.5% of the debt was apportioned to
Serbia-Montenegro, the new Yugoslav
federation, which the IMF treated as a single
republic. Croatia was deemed to owe 28.5% of
the debt; Bosnia-Herzegovina, 13.2%; Slovenia,
16.4%; and Macedonia, 5.4%."
[End of 'Facts on File' news dispatch]
So in 1992, the IMF simply decided to say that the
Federal Republic owed 5.475 billion US dollars. Since it
now says we owe over $12 billion, that means that
almost $7 billion of the supposed debt is interest! And
when did that interest get charged?
That interest got charged during the years of sanctions
imposed by the same international community that now
claims we owe all this interest!
Those sanctions hurt the Yugoslav economy to the tune
of billions of dollars U.S.
By what right do these men, who starved Yugoslavia
with sanctions, costing us billions, and then bombed
Yugoslavia, causing at least $60 billion in damage not
to mention the incalculable cost in human death and
suffering, the pain of relatives who lost loved ones, the
psychological damage to children, forced to hide in
shelters from bombs, the long term damage of depleted
uranium - how dare these starvers and bombers now
claim that Yugoslavia owes them money?
Who are these men?
A Donors' Conference would give no money to
Yugoslavia.
The only result would be: devastation of the Yugoslav
economy. The Donors would order a forced sale of
Yugoslavia's precious industries for pennies on the
dollar to the same bankers who make up the Donors'
Conference.
And when it was all over, the debt would still be there.
Because the money raised would be too little - as it is
always too little, in every country where these bankers
have imposed this scam - to pay the debt. Because you
see that is the whole idea. They use the inflated debt to
get hold of the industry, and when it is all over, they
leave the country, stripped of all it sweated for years to
build, of everything except - billions of dollars in debt.
We would gain nothing from this Donors' Conference.
But some things would be gone.
Our industry would be gone.
Our pride would be gone.
Our honor would be gone.
And our patriots, they would be gone as well, starting
with Mr. Milosevic, but not ending with him. Not ending
with him.
Let us not follow this fool's gold chase proposed by the
present authorities in Belgrade. Let us rely on
ourselves, on our integrity and our own hard work. Let
us trade with friends, not with thieves who try to break
us with the fake lure of suckers' gold.
When they speak of the urgency of this Donors'
Conference, the present authorities in Belgrade speak
with passion.
Their passion is real.
But it is not because they fear that if we do not go along
with their proposals, Yugoslavia will lose money that it
needs. On the contrary, they fear that if they do not
produce for their masters in Washington, they will be
punished.
For Washington has no friends, only future victims.
Washington has laid down the law to these Belgrade
authorities.
It has told them: you are taking too much time. Give us
Milosevic. Give us the patriots of the Yugoslav Army.
Give us those who fought us in Bosnia and Croatia.
Give them to us NOW. And give us everything of value
in Yugoslavia.
Because if you do not we will take you - the DOS
leaders - in their place.

FUNDRAISING MESSAGE:
EMPEROR'S CLOTHES URGENTLY NEEDS YOUR
HELP!
Our only source of money is people like you. All
contributions help, big and small.
We are several months behind on our long distance
and overseas phone bill. All but our local service
has been turned off.
We use long distance for interviews (if we need a
translator, this involves a three-way call) to
consult with writers, to check the accuracy of
information and sometimes to translate articles.
Using overseas calls we were able to stay in
constant touch with the unarmed witnesses
guarding Mr. Miloshevich's house when it was
attacked March 28th and 29th. That is why you
could read accurate news on Emperor's Clothes as
it broke - the only honest reports available
anywhere.
Our phone bills are necessarily very high, well over
a thousand dollars a month. Now our long distance
has been turned off because we owe almost $5000.
We are in danger of losing phone service
altogether. In addition, we owe over $1500 to Lexis,
a key research tool, which allows us to check the
accuracy of newspaper excerpts and quotes over
the past 20 years.
If everyone who cares about Emperor's Clothes
chips in, we'll be out of trouble in no time.
Any help you can send will be greatly appreciated!
$20, $50, $100 or $1000 - it will all help.

LOS SOCIALISTAS DE SERBIA CALIFICAN A LA "AYUDA" DE TRAMPA
CAZABOBOS
[31 de Mayo de 2001]
INTRODUCCI�N
El gobierno de Yugoslavia -tanto Vojislav Kostunica como Zoran Djindjic-
intentan imponer en el parlamento federal una ley que legalizar�a la
cooperaci�n con el conocido Tribunal de La Haya para cr�menes de guerra.
Los socialistas de Montenegro, cuyos votos son decisivos, se han
mantenido
hasta el momento firmemente en contra de la ley.
Entre tanto, muchos yugoslavos creen en el planteo del r�gimen imperante
en Belgrado, seg�n el cual los Estados Unidos van a impedir que la
Conferencia de Donantes que debe reunirse en junio aporte una ayuda que
Yugoslavia necesita much�simo, si ese pa�s se niega a colaborar en la
transferencia de los dirigentes yugoslavos a ese Tribunal.
Seg�n el Partido Socialista de Serbia, esto es una trampa. A
continuaci�n
transcribimos su quemante refutaci�n al argumento de "tenemos que
hacerlo proque nos extorsionan financieramente" (el mismo que se usa
para
mantener el modelo econ�mico colonial en la Argentina, como todos

ACUSAMOS: LAS PROMESAS DE AYUDA SON MENTIRAS DE
TRAIDORES!
Declaraci�n del Partido Socialista de Serbia, 31 de Mayo de 2001
Cuando los dirigentes de un pa�s explican a su pueblo que deben
extraditar
patriotas a cambio de dinero provisto por las fuerzas que han
bombardeado
a ese pa�s estamos ante un hecho ultrajante.
Pero cuando los dirigentes de un pa�s pretenden hacer creer que van a
recibir dinero de los que han bombardeado _cuando tienen perfecta
conciencia de que no lo recibir�n_ y proponen al pueblo que apoyen el
encarcelamiento de sus patriotas a cambio de dinero que esos dirigentes
_saben_ que no llegar�, entonces estamos ante alta traici�n.
Las actuales autoridades de Belgrado son culpables de traici�n.
Jam�s ha existido una Conferencia de Donantes que haya entregado un
solo centavo a ning�n pa�s. El t�rmino "Donantes" es, en s� mismo, un
fraude. El t�tulo correcto es "Conferencia de Acreedores". Si llega a
tener
lugar una "Conferencia de Donantes" en junio, ser� un encuentro de los
bancos que proclaman que Yugoslavia les debe dinero. El objetivo de ese
encuentro, como el de todas las Conferencias de "Donantes", ser� el
planificar c�mo vender la propiedad de los yugoslavos de modo de
recuperar el dinero que dicen que se les debe, y cuanto antes mejor.
�Y a qui�n le vender�n las industrias yugoslavas para conseguir ese
dinero?
B�sicamente, a ellos mismos.
�Por cu�nto lo vender�n? A raz�n de algunos centavos por cada d�lar.
�Cu�nta de la as� llamada deuda yugoslava se saldar� de este modo? Una
porci�n muy peque�a.
�Qu� suceder� con la industria que los "Donantes" se tomar�n as� a
cucharadas?
uando compitan con alguna industria en los pa�ses "Donantes", ser�n
cerradas.
Eso es, por ejemplo, lo ocurrido en Hungr�a, un pa�s cuyos l�deres han
sido
m�s que cooperativos con los Estados Unidos. La empresa norteamericana
General Electric adquiri� la f�brica de bombitas h�ngara y la cerr� (no
sin
antes exportarle a los recientemente privatizados subterr�neos
argentinos
los �ltimos remanentes de producci�n, dicho sea de paso, NG). Ahora, los
h�ngaros tienen que comprar las bombitas que importa General Electric.
Esto ha sucedido en docenas de pa�ses.
Las Conferencias de Donantes han colaborado en la planificaci�n de la
destrucci�n econ�mica de, por ejemplo:
* Ucrania: pas� de ser el granero de Europa a un importador neto de
alimentos, que depende de los "excedentes alimentarios" de Occidente.
* Bulgaria: su industria se desmantel� y se cerr�.
* Rusia: de un d�a para otro, los salarios cayeron casi un 90%.
* Vietnam: tras la "Conferencia de Donantes" se destrip� la industria,
para
conseguir el dinero que permitiera pagar las "deudas", en un acto
particularmente repugnante, ya que se trataba de "deudas" contra�das por
el
r�gimen t�tere de Vietnam del Sur, con el objetivo de �adquirir
armamento en
los Estados Unidos, con el cual combatir a los patriotas vietnamitas!
Pues bien, esto es lo que hacen las "Conferencias de Donantes".
A veces, el trabajo tiene lugar despu�s del fin de la Conferencia
oficial, en
encuentros de los as� llamados clubes de Londres o de Par�s. Est�n
compuestos por los grandes bancos comerciales o estatales de Europa y
los
EE.UU., respectivamente.
Ahora bien: hay algo que ninguna Conferencia de Donantes ha ejecutado
jam�s, en ning�n lugar del mundo: entregarle mil millones de d�lares (o
un
solo d�lar) a un pa�s que se supone que les debe dinero a esos bancos.
Si en
los papeles puede figurar un pr�stamo, inmediatamente lo quitan por otro
lado.
O sea: con una mano te dan un poco de plata, pero inmediatamente te la
retiran con la otra, para "refinanciar la deuda".
Esto ya ha ocurrido con varios millones de d�lares que se supone que la
comunidad internacional le ha "entregado" a Yugoslavia. Seg�n informa el
Dr. Michael Chossudovsky: "La Junta [del FMI] aprob� un pr�stamo [de] US
$151 millones en el marco de la pol�tica del FMI para ayudas posteriores
a
conflictos, en apoyo de un programa de estabilizaci�n de la econom�a de
la
Rep�blica Federal de Yugoslavia y para contribuir a la reconstrucci�n de
su
administraci�n. De esta suma, las autoridades [de Belgrado] retirar�n
nada
menos que US $130 millones para refinanciar los pr�stamos puente que
recibieron [de Suiza y Noruega] para eliminar deudas viejas con el FMI"
(Citado en "Economic Terrorism," por el Dr. Prof. Michael Chossudovsky)
En lenguaje llano: las autoridades de Belgrado pidieron plata prestada
en
Suiza y Noruega para pagarle al FMI plata que le deb�an. Despu�s
pidieron
plata prestada al FMI, con la cual �pagaron la deuda con Suiza y
Noruega!
Esto es una estafa.
La verdad sobre estas ficticias "Conferencias de Donantes" se filtra de
vez
en cuando. Por ejemplo, he aqu� un extracto de un cable de la agencia de
noticias 'Reuters', donde se pasa revista a todas las cosas terribles
que le
suceder�n a Yugoslavia si no coopera. La primera de la lista es:
1. "Los EE.UU. se opondr�n a que Yugoslavia obtenga pr�stamos y ayuda
en las instituciones financieras internacionales, como el FMI y el Banco
Mundial. Est� en juego un pr�stamo del FMI por 260 millones de d�lares
que
apoyar� a la reforma de una econom�a que despu�s de a�os de sanciones y
guerra se encuentra al borde del colapso." [Recuerdan, argentinos, "El
Plan
Prebisch, retorno al coloniaje", donde Arturo Jauretche explicaba c�mo
inventaron el "colapso" por el cual nos "integraron" al Fondo Monetario
en
1955?]
De paso, n�tese que aqu� nadie habla de "donaciones", sino de pr�stamos.
No se hace ning�n regalito.
Y t�ngase en cuenta que todos los pa�ses que han confiado en estos
falsos
pr�stamos han sufrido. Yugoslavia no ha recibido pr�stamos en 8 a�os.
Pero
Rumania y Bulgaria, que s� los recibieron, perdieron toda su industria,
y sus
desempleados vienen ahora a Yugoslavia a buscar empleo. Siempre
estaremos mejor si nos arreglamos solos que si nos montan estos
par�sitos
del FMI y del Banco Mundial, cuyo negocio es quitarle a pa�ses como el
nuestro todo lo que tanto nos ha costado construir.
Ahora, la segunda consecuencia "desastrosa" de no cooperar con
Washington:
2. "[Habr� que postergar] los planes de Belgrado para iniciar la
negociaci�n
de un arreglo de la deuda con el Club de Par�s de acreedores soberanos y
con los bancos comerciales del Club de Londres. Yugoslavia tiene una
deuda externa total de 12.200 millones de d�lares, de los cuales 5
corresponden al Club de Par�s, y 3 al de Londres." ('Reuters', 2 de
Abril de
2001)
Seg�n el art�culo de Reuters, la Conferencia de Donantes le prestar� a
Yugoslavia 260 millones de d�lares. Si nos guiamos por la experiencia
existente, es posible que este dinero nunca llegue a Yugoslavia. Pero
a�n si
lo hiciera, se lo utilizar�a inmediatamente para devolver parte de la
supuesta
deuda. Ni un centavo llegar�a a la econom�a, o a la gente com�n.
Y qu� mas, veamos, nos dice el articulista que dejar� de suceder si
Yugoslavia se niega a colaborar:
* Si Yugoslavia se niega a colaborar, habr� que "postergar los planes de
Belgrado para iniciar la negociaci�n de un arreglo de la deuda con el
Club
de Par�s de acreedores soberanos y con los bancos comerciales del Club
de
Londres".
�Cu�nto es el dinero en juego en esta deuda que Yugoslavia no tendr�a el
placer de comenzar a pagar?
"Yugoslavia tiene una deuda externa total de 12.200 millones de d�lares,
de
los cuales 5 corresponden al Club de Par�s, y 3 al de Londres." O sea
que "la
comunidad internacional" le reclama a Yugoslavia una deuda de por lo
menos 12.000 millones de d�lares. Y si Yugoslavia no entrega a
Milosevic,
no tendr� el placer de destrozar toda su industria para devolver esa
deuda.
Ah, s�, ser�a algo tremendo.
�Y c�mo llega la "comunidad internacional" a creer que Yugoslavia le
debe
12.200 millones de d�lares? Se trata, en su casi totalidad, de intereses
sobre
las deudas que se supone correspond�an a la hoy extinta Rep�blica
Socialista de Yugoslavia. He aqu� un informe de prensa del 31 de
diciembre
de 1992, que lo aclara todo:
[Extraido de: 'Facts on File World News Digest,' December 31, 1992 ]
"Titular: El FMI expulsa a Yugoslavia
"Texto: El 15 de diciembre, el Fondo Monetario Internacional dio fin a
la
presencia de Yugoslavia en su seno, y reparti� proporcionalmente la
deuda
externa de ese pa�s entre lo que la instituci�n financiera define como
las
cinco rep�blicas que heredan a Yugoslavia. El FMI dio este paso sobre la
base de que Yugoslavia ha dejado de existir como entidad jur�dica..
"La deuda externa de Yugoslavia era de unos 15.000 millones de d�lares,
incluyendo $217 millones de deuda con el FMI y $2.000 millones con el
Banco Mundial.
"A la nueva Federaci�n Yugoslava (Serbia m�s Montenegro) -que el FMI
consider� una sola rep�blica- le correspondi� un 36,5% de la deuda. A
Croatia se le asign� un 28.5% de la deuda, un 13,2 a Bosnia-Herzegovina,
un 16,4 a Eslovenia y un 5,4% a Macedonia."
[Fin de la cita de 'Facts on File']
As� que en 1992, por propia decisi�n, el FMI impuso a la Rep�blica
Federal
una deuda de 5475 millones de d�lares. Ahora, dice que debemos m�s de
12.000 millones, o sea que casi 7000 millones de la supuesta deuda
son...
intereses! �Y cu�ndo se nos cargaron esos intereses?
�Nos fueron impuestos durante los a�os de sanciones impuestas por la
misma comunidad internacional que ahora proclama que les debemos toda
esta suma en concepto de inter�s!
Esas sanciones causaron da�os a la econom�a yugoslava del orden de
varios miles de millones de d�lares.
�Con qu� derecho, entonces, esta misma gente que someti� a Yugoslavia a
las ssanciones y el hambre, que nos hizo perder miles de millones, y que
luego bombarde� a Yugoslavia (provocando, como m�nimo, un da�o que se
puede evaluar en 60.000 millones de d�lares... sin contar los
incalculables
costos en vidas humanas, en sufrimiento masivo, en el dolor de aquellos
que
perdieron sus seres queridos, en el da�o sicol�gico a los ni�os
obligados a
vivir en refugios antia�reos, en el da�o a largo plazo del uranio
empobrecido), c�mo puede esta gente, repetimos, estos hambreadores y
bombardeadores, decir que Yugoslavia les debe dinero?
�Qu� clase de gente es esta?
Una Conferencia de Donantes no le dar�a un centavo a Yugoslavia. Su
�nico
resultado ser�a la devastaci�n de la econom�a yugoslava. Nos obligar�an
a
vender por centavos industrias invalorables, a los mismos banqueros que
constituyen la Conferencia de Donantes. Y una vez vendidas las
industrias,
la deuda seguir�a vivita y coleando.
Porque se conseguir�a poco dinero (siempre es muy poco, siempre ha sido
as�, en todos los pa�ses donde los banqueros lograron imponer esta
estafa),
comparado con la deuda a pagar. En realidad, toda la idea es exactamente
eso: usan la deuda inflada para apoderarse de la industria, y, cuando
todo
termin� dejan al pa�s sin nada de lo que construy� en un esfuerzo de
a�os.
S�lo le dejan miles de millones de d�lares de deuda.
En esta Conferencia de Donantes no tenemos nada por ganar.
Pero perderemos algunas cosas.
Nuestra industria.
Nuestro orgullo.
Nuestro honor.
Y tambi�n nuestros patriotas, empezando por el Sr. Milosevic, pero la
lista
de ning�n modo terminar� con �l. De ning�n modo.
No sigamos esta zanahoria que nos proponen las actuales autoridades de
Belgrdo. Confiemos en nosotros mismos, en nuestra integridad y nuestra
capacidad de trabajo. Comerciemos con nuestros amigos, no con ladrones
que tratar�n de quebrarnos con el falso relumbr�n del oro de los tontos.
Las actuales autoridades de Belgrado ponen mucha pasi�n cuando hablan
de la urgencia de esta Conferencia de Donantes.
Y esa pasi�n es real.
Pero no lo es porque teman que si no seguimos sus propuestas, Yugoslavia
perder� el dinero que necesita. Por el contrario, temen el castigo que
recibir�n si no hacen lo que sus patronos de Washington les exigen.
Porque Washington no tiene amigos: solamente tiene futuras v�ctimas.
[Argentinos y peruanos: Menem, as� como Fujimori, son pruebas obvias]
Washington acaba de imponer su ley a estas autoridades de Belgrado.
Les ha dicho: est�n tom�ndose demasiado tiempo. D�nnos de una vez a
Milosevic. D�nnos a los patriotas del Ej�rcito Yugoslavo. D�nnos
aquellos
que nos combatieron en Bosnia y Croacia. �Y h�ganlo YA! Y tambi�n d�nnos
todo lo que haya de alg�n valor en Yugoslavia.
Porque as� no lo hici�reis, os tomaremos a vosotros, la Oposici�n
Democr�tica de Serbia, en su lugar.

[Traducci�n ligeramente modificada de N�stor Gorojovsky]
LOS SOCIALISTAS DE SERBIA CALIFICAN A LA "AYUDA" DE TRAMPA
CAZABOBOS
[31 de Mayo de 2001]
INTRODUCCI�N
El gobierno de Yugoslavia -tanto Vojislav Kostunica como Zoran Djindjic-
intentan imponer en el parlamento federal una ley que legalizar�a la
cooperaci�n con el conocido Tribunal de La Haya para cr�menes de guerra.
Los socialistas de Montenegro, cuyos votos son decisivos, se han
mantenido
hasta el momento firmemente en contra de la ley.
Entre tanto, muchos yugoslavos creen en el planteo del r�gimen imperante
en Belgrado, seg�n el cual los Estados Unidos van a impedir que la
Conferencia de Donantes que debe reunirse en junio aporte una ayuda que
Yugoslavia necesita much�simo, si ese pa�s se niega a colaborar en la
transferencia de los dirigentes yugoslavos a ese Tribunal.
Seg�n el Partido Socialista de Serbia, esto es una trampa. A
continuaci�n
transcribimos su quemante refutaci�n al argumento de "tenemos que
hacerlo proque nos extorsionan financieramente" (el mismo que se usa
para
mantener el modelo econ�mico colonial en la Argentina, como todos
sabemos)

Y esa pasi�n es real.
Pero no lo es porque teman que si no seguimos sus propuestas, Yugoslavia
perder� el dinero que necesita. Por el contrario, temen el castigo que
recibir�n si no hacen lo que sus patronos de Washington les exigen.
Porque Washington no tiene amigos: solamente tiene futuras v�ctimas.
[Argentinos y peruanos: Menem, as� como Fujimori, son pruebas obvias]
Washington acaba de imponer su ley a estas autoridades de Belgrado.
Les ha dicho: est�n tom�ndose demasiado tiempo. D�nnos de una vez a
Milosevic. D�nnos a los patriotas del Ej�rcito Yugoslavo. D�nnos
aquellos
que nos combatieron en Bosnia y Croacia. �Y h�ganlo YA! Y tambi�n d�nnos
todo lo que haya de alg�n valor en Yugoslavia.
Porque as� no lo hici�reis, os tomaremos a vosotros, la Oposici�n
Democr�tica de Serbia, en su lugar.

Oggetto: Subjection of Yugoslavia
26 May 2001 David Morgan Vancouver
Greetings:
The situation in Yugoslavia re. Milosevic is starkly simple:
The "International Community" (ie, USA), feeling the need to
legitimize
the bombing of Yugoslavia, says to the government in Belgrade:
"Hand over Milosevic and we'll hand over the money (loaned) to
rebuild
the bomb damage we did. This is the deal: No Milosevic, no money"
President Kostunica then has to explain to the public why it is
necessary to
turn Milosevic over to the thoroughly discredited "court" in
the Hague. This is the language Kostunica used to justify this
expedient
subjection to the USA:
''Today, we need extraordinary, often painful compromises to
accommodate the international community,'' Kostunica told
legislators
attending the convention.
''By this, I am referring to the controversial court in The
Hague,''
Kostunica said. ''We need a legal foundation and a judiciary
formula
that would regulate our cooperation with that tribunal ... to act
as our
compass in painful matters.''
Of course this "court" also faces a starkly simple choice:
Produce the indictments & convictions required or US funding will
end.
The real "international community," the member states of the United
Nations Organization, had better wake up before they too are
subjected
to more domestic and international "law," made in & for Washington.
Best wishes,
David

KOSTUNICA FAVOREVOLE AD UNA LEGGE PER ESTRADARE MILOSEVIC:

Boston Globe
Yugoslav president: Extradition law a 'painful compromise'
By Katarina Kratovac, Associated Press, 5/26/2001 11:12
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (AP) A draft law enabling the extradition of
Slobodan Milosevic to the U.N. war crimes tribunal is a needed and
''painful
compromise,'' Yugoslavia's pro-democracy president said Saturday.
Speaking at a convention of his Democratic Party of Serbia,
President
Vojislav Kostunica said legislation spelling out the terms of
Yugoslav
cooperation with the tribunal was necessary to help the
long-ostracized
country shed its pariah status.
Under the new law, Milosevic could be extradited to the court in
The Hague,
Netherlands, after his case is legally reviewed at home. The
government is
expected to review the draft law as early as next week, and it
could come up
for debate in parliament by mid-June.
''Today, we need extraordinary, often painful compromises to
accommodate the international community,'' Kostunica told
legislators
attending the convention.
''By this, I am referring to the controversial court in The
Hague,''
Kostunica said. ''We need a legal foundation and a judiciary
formula
that would regulate our cooperation with that tribunal ... to act
as our
compass in painful matters.''
Since Milosevic's ouster last October, Belgrade's new pro-democracy
authorities have hesitated to hand over the former Yugoslav
president and
other war crimes suspects to the U.N. tribunal, citing a
constitutional ban on
extradition of Yugoslav citizens.
Many Serbs including Kostunica, a staunch critic of the tribunal
accuse the
court of bias because most indicted suspects have been Serbs.
Milosevic and
four senior aides were indicted on charges of crimes against
humanity in
1999 for atrocities committed by Serb troops against ethnic
Albanians in
Kosovo.
The West wants Milosevic tried at The Hague, and the United States
has
threatened to boycott a June 29 international donors conference for
Yugoslavia unless progress is made toward greater cooperation with
the
U.N. court.
Milosevic was arrested in Belgrade on April 1 on suspicion of abuse
of
power during his 13 years in office, and the Yugoslav government
wants to
try him on a series of charges including domestic war crimes
counts.
In pushing to adopt the new law, pro-democracy officials face
opposition
from their coalition partners in the Yugoslav republic of
Montenegro.
Montenegrin deputies in parliament were once allied with Milosevic
and
have so far rejected his extradition. Their support is necessary
for the
law to
be approved.
Zoran Djindjic, the prime minister of Serbia, Yugoslavia's dominant
republic, said Saturday that Serbian politicians, Yugoslav and
Serbian
Cabinet ministers and Justice Ministry officials would meet with
Montenegrin legislators Monday to discuss the draft law.
The Montenegrins will have to reach a firm decision on the law
within a few
days, Djindjic said.
''I expect the law will be approved. Prospects contrary to that are
simply too
macabre to consider,'' Djindjic told Belgrade's Beta news agency.
In a sensational revelation Friday, Serbian police accused
Milosevic of
personally ordering the systematic destruction of evidence of
atrocities
during the Kosovo war including the dumping of a truckload of
bodies,
presumed to be those of ethnic Albanian civilians, into the Danube
River in
the spring of 1999.
Police officials made it clear that they consider that particular
case just
one
part of a large-scale attempt to remove any trace of the thousands
of
civilians
allegedly killed by Milosevic's troops in Kosovo.
Members of Milosevic's Socialist Party criticized the police
allegations as
''hideous misinformation launched deliberately'' ahead of
parliamentary
debate on the tribunal cooperation law.///

Oggetto: THIS DONORS' CONFERENCE IS SUCKER BAIT - THE "REWARD" IS A
BANKRUPTCY MEETING!
PLEASE FORWARD!!
An email on the supposed "Donors'Conference" bribe says:
<< ''By this, I am referring to the controversial court in The
Hague,''
Kostunica said. ''We need a legal foundation and a judiciary
formula
that would regulate our cooperation with that tribunal ... to act

Of course this "court" also faces a starkly simple choice:

>>
NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!
There is no U.S. or other funding being offered!
NONE!
Chossudovsky has exposed all this - it is a sham! (see:
http://emperors-clothes.com/articles/choss/eco.htm)
A "donors' conference" is a meeting of creditors, similar to a
bankruptcy
conference.
There have been scores of them and not one in any place at any time
ever
gave. They always take. They plan how to sell to themselves all the
industry
in the target country for pennies on the dollar to pay off back
debts (over
$12 billion in Yugoslavia's case - mostly interest charged while
sanctions
were enforce and the creditors were bombing and murdering and
sponsoring
proxy armies!).
When they are finished, the country has no industry but still has
massive
debt - which it has now promised to pay! This happened to Vietnam,
South
Korea, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Rumania. Does it have to happen to
Yugoslavia?
This is known by Kostunica unless he is criminally negligent: to
pretend to
the Yugoslav people that they will actually get anything if they
give up
Milosevic is nothing but a treasonous lie.
The reward is: the death of Yugoslav industry - they ALWAYS buy
cheap and
close down what might be competitive just as GE bought and closed
the big
Light Bulb factory in Hungary.
With utmost distress,
Jared Israel.

Oggetto: Subjection of Yugoslavia
26 May 2001 David Morgan Vancouver
Greetings:
The situation in Yugoslavia re. Milosevic is starkly simple:
The "International Community" (ie, USA), feeling the need to
legitimize
the bombing of Yugoslavia, says to the government in Belgrade:
"Hand over Milosevic and we'll hand over the money (loaned) to
rebuild
the bomb damage we did. This is the deal: No Milosevic, no money"
President Kostunica then has to explain to the public why it is
necessary to
turn Milosevic over to the thoroughly discredited "court" in
the Hague. This is the language Kostunica used to justify this
expedient
subjection to the USA:
''Today, we need extraordinary, often painful compromises to
accommodate the international community,'' Kostunica told
legislators
attending the convention.
''By this, I am referring to the controversial court in The
Hague,''
Kostunica said. ''We need a legal foundation and a judiciary
formula
that would regulate our cooperation with that tribunal ... to act
as our
compass in painful matters.''
Of course this "court" also faces a starkly simple choice:
Produce the indictments & convictions required or US funding will
end.
The real "international community," the member states of the United
Nations Organization, had better wake up before they too are
subjected
to more domestic and international "law," made in & for Washington.
Best wishes,
David

Yugoslav president: Extradition law a 'painful compromise'
By Katarina Kratovac, Associated Press, 5/26/2001 11:12
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (AP) A draft law enabling the extradition of
Slobodan Milosevic to the U.N. war crimes tribunal is a needed and
''painful
compromise,'' Yugoslavia's pro-democracy president said Saturday.
Speaking at a convention of his Democratic Party of Serbia,
President
Vojislav Kostunica said legislation spelling out the terms of
Yugoslav
cooperation with the tribunal was necessary to help the
long-ostracized
country shed its pariah status.
Under the new law, Milosevic could be extradited to the court in
The Hague,
Netherlands, after his case is legally reviewed at home. The
government is
expected to review the draft law as early as next week, and it
could come up
for debate in parliament by mid-June.
''Today, we need extraordinary, often painful compromises to
accommodate the international community,'' Kostunica told
legislators
attending the convention.
''By this, I am referring to the controversial court in The
Hague,''
Kostunica said. ''We need a legal foundation and a judiciary
formula
that would regulate our cooperation with that tribunal ... to act
as our
compass in painful matters.''
Since Milosevic's ouster last October, Belgrade's new pro-democracy
authorities have hesitated to hand over the former Yugoslav
president and
other war crimes suspects to the U.N. tribunal, citing a
constitutional ban on
extradition of Yugoslav citizens.
Many Serbs including Kostunica, a staunch critic of the tribunal
accuse the
court of bias because most indicted suspects have been Serbs.
Milosevic and
four senior aides were indicted on charges of crimes against
humanity in
1999 for atrocities committed by Serb troops against ethnic
Albanians in
Kosovo.
The West wants Milosevic tried at The Hague, and the United States
has
threatened to boycott a June 29 international donors conference for
Yugoslavia unless progress is made toward greater cooperation with
the
U.N. court.
Milosevic was arrested in Belgrade on April 1 on suspicion of abuse
of
power during his 13 years in office, and the Yugoslav government
wants to
try him on a series of charges including domestic war crimes
counts.
In pushing to adopt the new law, pro-democracy officials face
opposition
from their coalition partners in the Yugoslav republic of
Montenegro.
Montenegrin deputies in parliament were once allied with Milosevic
and
have so far rejected his extradition. Their support is necessary
for the
law to
be approved.
Zoran Djindjic, the prime minister of Serbia, Yugoslavia's dominant
republic, said Saturday that Serbian politicians, Yugoslav and
Serbian
Cabinet ministers and Justice Ministry officials would meet with
Montenegrin legislators Monday to discuss the draft law.
The Montenegrins will have to reach a firm decision on the law
within a few
days, Djindjic said.
''I expect the law will be approved. Prospects contrary to that are
simply too
macabre to consider,'' Djindjic told Belgrade's Beta news agency.
In a sensational revelation Friday, Serbian police accused
Milosevic of
personally ordering the systematic destruction of evidence of
atrocities
during the Kosovo war including the dumping of a truckload of
bodies,
presumed to be those of ethnic Albanian civilians, into the Danube
River in
the spring of 1999.
Police officials made it clear that they consider that particular
case just
one
part of a large-scale attempt to remove any trace of the thousands
of
civilians
allegedly killed by Milosevic's troops in Kosovo.
Members of Milosevic's Socialist Party criticized the police
allegations as
''hideous misinformation launched deliberately'' ahead of
parliamentary
debate on the tribunal cooperation law.///

Oggetto: THIS DONORS' CONFERENCE IS SUCKER BAIT - THE "REWARD" IS A
BANKRUPTCY MEETING!
PLEASE FORWARD!!
An email on the supposed "Donors'Conference" bribe says:
<< ''By this, I am referring to the controversial court in The
Hague,''
Kostunica said. ''We need a legal foundation and a judiciary
formula
that would regulate our cooperation with that tribunal ... to act
as our
compass in painful matters.''
Of course this "court" also faces a starkly simple choice:
Produce the indictments & convictions required or US funding will
end.
>>
NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!
There is no U.S. or other funding being offered!
NONE!
Chossudovsky has exposed all this - it is a sham! (see:
http://emperors-clothes.com/articles/choss/eco.htm)
A "donors' conference" is a meeting of creditors, similar to a
bankruptcy
conference.
There have been scores of them and not one in any place at any time
ever
gave. They always take. They plan how to sell to themselves all the
industry
in the target country for pennies on the dollar to pay off back
debts (over
$12 billion in Yugoslavia's case - mostly interest charged while
sanctions
were enforce and the creditors were bombing and murdering and
sponsoring
proxy armies!).
When they are finished, the country has no industry but still has
massive
debt - which it has now promised to pay! This happened to Vietnam,
South
Korea, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Rumania. Does it have to happen to
Yugoslavia?
This is known by Kostunica unless he is criminally negligent: to
pretend to
the Yugoslav people that they will actually get anything if they
give up
Milosevic is nothing but a treasonous lie.
The reward is: the death of Yugoslav industry - they ALWAYS buy
cheap and
close down what might be competitive just as GE bought and closed
the big
Light Bulb factory in Hungary.
With utmost distress,
Jared Israel.
