NATO in Croatia
Boris Raseta
24-11-2000
As late as spring of this year, the commander of the Croatian
air force
general Josip Culetic mentioned the possibility of the NATO base
presently stationed ! in the Italian townlet of Aviano being
relocated to
Udbina. The move - the general argued - would do Croatia good,
further
strengthening its strategic ties to the western military
alliance and,
probably, resulting in a substantial material gain for Croatia
as well.
NATO Willfully Triggered An Environmental Catastrophe In
Yugoslavia
Michel Chossudovsky
18-06-2000
In this report, Michel Chossudovsky provides conclusive
documentary
and photographic evidence that contrary to the statements of
various
international observers, the environmental catastrophe at the
Pancevo
petrochemical plant was neither the result of 'collateral
damage' (that
is, an accident of war) nor a case of criminal negligence (that
is,
resulting from criminal disregard of consequences). Rather, the
evidence is compelling. NATO willfully blew up with meticulous
accuracy containers of! toxic chemicals with the intention of
creating an
ecological nightmare.
The Truth about Depleted Uranium : Worse than a scandal
Robert Fisk
08-01-2001
'JUST FOURTEEN months ago, on a bleak, frosty afternoon, I
stopped
my car beside an old Ottoman bridge in southern Kosovo. It was
here,
scarcely half a year earlier, that Nato jets had bombed a convoy
of
Albanian refugees, ripping scores of them to pieces in the
surrounding
fields. Their jets, I knew, had been firing depleted uranium
rounds. And
now, on the very spot east of Djakovica where a bomb had torn
apart an
entire refugee family in a tractor, five Italian Kfor soldiers
had built a
little checkpoint. ...'

LA JUGOSLAVIA NELLA NATO
Il Ministro degli Esteri della RFJ Goran Svilanovic, gia' noto per avere
invitato il Tribunale dell'Aia ad aprire una sede a Belgrado e per avere
chiesto la ammissione ex-novo del suo paese all'ONU rompendo con tutta
la tradizione diplomatica della Jugoslavia, ha effettuato una visita di
cortesia al quartier generale della NATO. Svilanovic ha affermato che in
Kosovo - dopo la pulizia etnica a danno delle minoranze non albanesi ed
albanesi non secessioniste - la RFJ e la NATO possono finalmente
lavorare insieme; in cambio, il criminale di guerra Robertson ha offerto
alla RFJ la partecipazione alla Partnership for Peace, primo passo per
l'inserimento nella Alleanza.
Dopo la visita al quartiere generale della NATO ci attendiamo che
Svilanovic, per ringraziare del sostegno politico ed elettorale offerto
alla nuova classe dirigente di destra in Jugoslavia, si presenti anche
alla redazione del "Manifesto".

> The Media's War Against the Serbs
>
> by Stella L. Jatras *
>
>
> The media's biased war against the Serbs has been a major factor in the
> dismemberment of the former Yugoslavia and the demonizing of an entire
> nation. One of the best examples of such bias can be found in the
> Washington Times, both in its reporting of events in the Balkans and its
> editorial policy. I single out the Washington Times because it is
> supposedly the "conservative" newspaper, the counter to the liberal news
> that is published in the Washington Post, the New York Times, and the
> rest of the liberal media. Unfortunately, the Washington Times has
> become part of the liberal propaganda machine that helped to bring death
> and suffering to tens of thousands of innocent people.
>
> One explanation for the Times' slanted reporting which agrees with the
> liberal media may be the fact that it depends on "stringers,"
> (reporters) to cover much of its foreign news, specifically in the
> Balkans. This may also explain why its editorial staff has been
> consistently anti-Serb.
>
> In his "World Review" section on 5 March, 2000, the Washington Times'
> Foreign Desk Editor David Jones wrote, "But the stringers quickly lose
> interest in filing to us if we are not buying their stories and putting
> them in the paper." What this tells me is that the bottom line in
> formulating stories has little to do with the truth, or even accuracy,
> but has everything to do with what makes the biggest headlines and
> brings in the most financial rewards for both the "stringer" and the
> Washington Times. How often are these goals achieved by embellishing the
> "facts" to add a little sensationalism?
>
> Case in point. On 6 August 1998, the Washington Times featured
> "stringer" Philip Smucker's exclusive front page headline read: "Kosovar
> bodies bulldozed to dump; Serbs deny massacre, but evidence [not
> "alleged," or "thought-to-be], but "evidence impossible to avoid of mass
> graves containing the bodies of 567." He also claimed that at least half
> of the bodies were those of women and children although, to that point,
> the alleged bodies had not been exhumed. To further embellish his story,
> Smucker went on to say, "Stark evidence in the form of freshly turned
> earth and the overwhelming stench of death has exposed the presence of
> scores of bodies that were bulldozed into a garbage dump after a Serbian
> attack against ethnic Albanian rebels who tried to seize this town."
> Even a photograph accompanied Smucker's article with the caption, "A
> news photographer shoots a picture of fresh graves - some identified
> with ethnic Albanian names - in the Kosovar town of Orahovac," (Kosova
> is the Albanian name given to Kosovo).
>
> However, on the very same day, the Guardian [UK] of 6 August 1998,
> reported, "European Union (EU) observers found no evidence of mass
> graves reported in the town of Orahovac, the teams' Austrian leader,
> Walter Ebenberger, said." In contrast to the front page coverage given
> to Mr. Smucker's intended shock-attention report on Serb atrocities, the
> following day the Washington Times carried a small, barely noticeable
> item hidden on page A15 (World Scene, 7 August 1998), which stated,
> "NATO Chief [Secretary-General Javier Solana] dismissed mass graves in
> Kosovo."
>
> In all honesty, does it not bother the editors at the Washington Times
> that "stringer" Smucker's report of 6 August was a vicious lie? There
> were no mass graves containing the bodies of 567 ethnic Albanian
> victims; but there it was, on the front page. I stand in awe of the fact
> that truth in journalism is what they want it to be, what sells, and
> that articles by Mr. Smucker required, in the Times' judgment, no
> documentation, no verification, no responsibility, and apparently were
> accepted without question. Smucker's was the kind of reporting that
> played right into Clinton's New World Order scheme and at the same time,
> helped to prepare the minds of Americans to accept whatever punishment
> we dished out against the Serbian people, including NATO's 78 days of
> bombing in an unmerciful, unjust and immoral air war led by the United
> States. It was this kind of vile reporting that caused so many people to
> say, "After all, they [the Serbs] deserve it!"
>
> Mr. Jones now informs us that the new "stringer" for the Washington
> Times to replace Philip Smucker, for whom Mr. Jones has only high
> praise, is Joshua Kucera. Of Mr. Kucera, Jones writes: "The interest [in
> the elections throughout Serbia held on 24 December 2000] is so light,
> in fact that our freelance correspondent in the Balkans, Joshua Kucera,
> did not even file on the vote. He left that to the wire services and
> instead spent the day driving through a region held by ethnic-Albanian
> rebels in southern Serbia where he interviewed a rebel commander."
>
> Does anyone seriously believe that, unless Mr. Kucera was sympathetic to
> the Albanian "rebels," he would have been given an interview? No way.
> The "rebels" demand complete loyalty to their cause. In his 31 December
> article in the Times titled "A guerrilla seeks to coexist," Mr. Kucera
> leaves no doubt where his pro-Albanian biases lie when he interviewed
> the Albanian guerrilla leader, Cmdr. Lleshi, "a Fidel Castro
> look-alike," in the southern border of Serbia. "Coexist" my foot! What's
> an Albanian doing in Serbia anyway, other than to wage war against the
> Serbs? Mr. Kucera's article was accompanied by a photo of an Albanian
> house that had been sacked by Serbs, another ploy by the Washington
> Times to gain sympathy for the Albanian rebels' cause, rather than show
> photos of dead Serbian police officers who were murdered by Lleshi's
> thugs or any photos of the destruction of Serbian homes.
>
> Where is the coverage of the continued violence in Kosovo where recently
> two elderly Serbs were dragged from their homes and their throats
> slashed, killing the husband while the wife remained in critical
> condition in a hospital? (AFP, 29 Dec 2000). Why were there no photos of
> this Serbian woman's suffering? Probably because she was not an
> Albanian. But again, the Washington Times lives up to its own anti-Serb
> bias by giving Mr. Kucera extensive coverage of what the Albanians want;
> yet in his article, he did not interview one Serb.
>
> It seems that the Times reporters have learned that it doesn't pay to be
> impartial in the Balkans. Remember Canadian Major General Lewis
> MacKenzie? General MacKenzie was the first UNPROFOR commander in Bosnia
> who made the mistake of saying that all sides were doing terrible
> things. For this, the Bosnian Muslim government demanded that General
> MacKenzie be removed as UNPROFOR commander. Furthermore, he was falsely
> accused of having raped and murdered four Muslim women (from his book,
> Peacekeeper, the Road to Sarajevo, page 327). The point is, Mr. Kucera
> would never have gotten his exclusive interview with the Albanian
> guerrilla commander unless they were sure they would get favorable
> coverage for their Albanian jihad.
>
> Virtually nothing is being reported today of the barbarity being
> committed against the Serbs, Romanies and non-Albanians by the former
> Kosovo Liberation Army, who are engaged in sex slavery (Albanian Daily
> News, October 5, 2000), prostitution, kidnaping, murder, and rape,
> "Kosovo Rebels Raped Serb Nun, Say French Officials," New York Post, 19
> June 1999. "When they saw us they stopped a while, shouted 'NATO, NATO,'
> and then beat a hasty retreat, the officer said." Over 40% of heroin
> going into Europe comes from Kosovo (the Guardian [UK]). Over
> one-hundred Serbian Orthodox Churches were destroyed during the first
> two months after KFOR entered Kosovo, more than under 500 years of
> Ottoman rule.
>
> Scant attention is being paid to what is happening across the southern
> border in Serbia from Kosovo which threatens to become another Balkan
> war. Where is the coverage by CNN and the other networks that gave us a
> blow-by-blow description that never failed to support their slanted
> anti-Serb view of the war in Kosovo? Where's the outcry from all those
> politicians who were so quick to denounce the Serbs for protecting what
> belonged to them? The Albanian guerrillas known as the Liberation Army
> of Presevo, Bujanovac and Medvedja (UCPMB) and who have fashioned
> themselves after the KLA cutthroats, invited "stringer" Kucera into
> their camp after having invaded Serbia and murdered Serbian police
> officers, something that no sovereign nation can be expected to
> tolerate. In one of the few reports to emerge, an AFP report of 6
> January stated that Albanians now "enjoy new lease of life in border
> zone as an endless column of battered taxis streams along the recently
> repaired dirt road winding through the rebel-held hills of southern
> Serbia, linking ethnic Albanian communities on both sides of the Kosovo
> boundary," as Serb neighbors incredulously watch them "exploiting a
> NATO-enforced demilitarized zone to thumb their noses at government
> forces." "This is unbelievable! The terrorists are at our doorstep,
> getting further with no reaction at all. What is the international
> community doing?" raged a Serb in Bujanovac, just over a mile (two
> kilometers) away from the first rebel road block."
>
> The Serbs have two choices. Unless NATO takes steps to crush the
> Albanian guerrilla insurgents which thus far appears unlikely, the Serb
> paramilitary will be forced to stop Albanian provocations by all means
> necessary for which they will undoubtedly be condemned by the West, just
> as they were condemned in Kosovo for protecting what was theirs. Or they
> will have to resign themselves to the possibility that the West will
> never give them permission to defend themselves by denying them the
> heavy weapons they need to clean house, in which case, the southern
> region of Serbia will go the way of Kosovo. The Albanian guerrillas are
> using the same tactics used by the KLA that won them their successes in
> Kosovo, aided by papers such as the Washington Times whose anti-Serb
> reports routinely include photos of suffering ethnic Albanian women
> and/or children, often on the front page, but almost never a photo of
> even one suffering Serbian woman or child.
>
> With the new democratic president in Serbia, the former Kosovo
> Liberation Army see their chances for an independent Islamic state and a
> Greater Albania slipping through their fingers. Where once KFOR was seen
> as liberators by ethnic Albanians, they are now seen by the KLA as their
> oppressors and are poised to turn their guns on them. "Albanians
> threaten to kill UK peacekeepers" reports the Guardian on 24 December.
> The Daily Telegraph [UK] reported on 22 December, "We'll fight NATO
> troops, warn Albanian rebels," (Is this anyway to treat a friend?).
> "Kosovo Attacks Stir US Concern; Official Says NATO May have to Fight
> Ethnic Albanians," writes the Washington Post on 15 March. Tod Lindberg
> formerly of the Washington Times wrote in his column of 23 May, 2000,
> "Keep peace in Kosovo - Don't bring the boys home yet." He stated in his
> opinion piece, "I explained in this space last week why I thought
> Byrd-Warner was a bad idea." The defeated Byrd-Warner amendment would
> have simply required the president to go before Congress last July to
> justify why our troops should remain in Kosovo. Considering our kids are
> today's target of ethnic Albanians and the KLA, whom they were sent
> there to protect, I ask Mr. Lindberg, "Is NOW the right time to bring
> our "boys" home?" Since his statement only refers to our "boys" coming
> home, does that mean our "girls" get to stay in Kosovo?
>
> The outrage is that we have handed over Serbia's Jerusalem, the seat of
> the Serbian Orthodox Church, to a bunch of KLA narco-terrorists who have
> been turned into heroes by commentators such as Helle Bering, editorial
> page editor of the Washington Times, who, on 18 August 1999, glowingly
> wrote of "My dinner with the KLA, somewhere outside Budapest." Perhaps
> Ms. Bering should be judged by the company she keeps. But the blame game
> continues. In the Times of 2 January, 2001, an editorial once again lays
> all the blame for the tragic events in the Balkans solely on one man,
> "Put Milosevic on trial," without laying any of the blame on Franjo
> Tudjman, former president of Croatia, who would have been indicted by
> the UN war crimes tribunal in The Hague if he were still alive,
> according to an AFP report of 8 November, 2000. Nor does it mention the
> role of Bosnian Muslim president, Alija Izetbegovic, about whom a
> Deutsche Presse Agentur dispatch of June 6, 1996 wrote, "For the first
> time, a senior UN official has admitted the existence of a secret UN
> report that blames the Bosnian Moslems for the February 1994 massacre of
> Moslems at a Sarajevo [Markale] market, the excuse the US used to bomb
> the Bosnian Serbs." The report continues that the Moslems fired on their
> own people "in order to create international sympathy and get the West
> to fight on their side against the Serbs." Sounds like a war crime to
> me.

> The Washington Times does not stand alone guilty in the dismembering of

> Revolution, war and peace, 1889-1992, "....After the meeting, I had
> Larry Eagleburger take Silajdzic [Bosnian Foreign Minister] to see the

> In many ways I regret the extensive criticisms I have of the Washington
