DOCUMENTO POLITICO
DEL COORDINAMENTO NAZIONALE "LA JUGOSLAVIA VIVRA'"


Dalla fine della guerra fredda è in corso nell'Est europeo una grande
offensiva di conquista economica e militare da parte degli Usa e dei
loro alleati. La tenaglia imperialista agisce sul lato occidentale
nell'area balcanica e su quello orientale nell'area del Medio Oriente e

dell'Asia centrale, in particolare in Palestina e Iraq, in vista del
successivo balzo verso il Caucaso e la Russia - ed in prospettiva
contro
la Cina.

In questi ultimi anni l'azione si è concentrata contro i Balcani.

Dalla fondazione della Repubblica Federativa Socialista di Jugoslavia,
il
29 novembre 1943, a Jaice in Bosnia-Erzegovina, tutte le nazionalità
che
la costituivano hanno fatto blocco contro le ingerenze
dell'imperialismo,
a partire dalla lotta eroica della Resistenza contro l'occupazione
nazifascista. L'autonomia della Jugoslavia è stata tollerata fino a che
il
perdurare della guerra fredda ha ostacolato di fatto i progetti di
egemonia
globale del capitalismo occidentale. Con la crisi degli anni '80 e
soprattutto dopo l'annessione della DDR alla Repubblica Federale
Tedesca, l'imperialismo ha operato per inasprire e rendere esplosive le

contraddizioni interne alla RFSJ, promuovendone e sponsorizzandone lo
smembramento, sostenendo dirigenze filooccidentali e secessioniste,
creando
le condizioni per la campagna di occupazione militare. Con la
secessione
sanguinosa di quattro Repubbliche, la RFSJ è stata ridimensionata a
Repubblica Federale di Jugoslavia, costituita da Serbia e Montenegro.

La RFJ è stata fatta bersaglio di otto anni di pesanti sanzioni
economiche, poi aggredita e devastata, infine sottoposta ad un embargo
che ha ridotto allo stremo la popolazione, soprattutto la sua parte più

povera comprendente il milione di profughi dalla Croazia e dalla
Bosnia. Nel 1999 la macchina bellica della Nato ha scaricato sulla RFJ
45.000 tonnellate di esplosivo, bombe alla grafite e a frammentazione
(cluster bombs), e bombe all'uranio impoverito che, come è già
avvenuto in Iraq, produrrà in futuro malattie e morte. Sono stati
distrutti obiettivi civili e complessi industriali come quelli di
Pancevo, Novi Sad, Cacak, con stabilimenti chimici e petrolchimici,
volutamente causando la diffusione nell'ambiente di sostanze altamente
tossiche destinate ad entrare nella catena alimentare. Tutto questo
allo
scopo di colpire la resistenza della stessa popolazione di un paese
refrattario ad aderire ad alleanze imperialiste e a sottomettersi agli
imperativi del Fondo Monetario Internazionale.
Dopo la fine dei bombardamenti è stata scatenata la guerra di "bassa
intensità": embargo, assassinio di esponenti politici, erogazioni di
fondi per centinaia di milioni di dollari per corrompere dirigenti,
militari, organizzazioni sindacali, sociali, culturali e politiche, o
per crearne ex novo (OTPOR, D.O.S.), e per assumere il controllo di
mezzi
d'informazione come Radio B2-92 o l'emittente televisiva Studio B,
tutto
allo scopo di destabilizzare il paese secondo uno schema ben collaudato

(Italia, Grecia, Cile, Nicaragua,...). Ne è prova il fatto che il 25
settembre il
Congresso Usa stanziava ancora 105 milioni di dollari per l'appoggio
simultaneo ai partiti compiacenti ed ai movimenti secessionisti, mentre

il 27 settembre 2000 la D.O.S. (unione delle opposizioni
filooccidentali)
e il F.M.I. concordavano in Bulgaria il piano economico di
liberalizzazioni e di privatizzazioni. In questo clima di
intimidazione,
scandito e amplificato dall'uso strategico dei media jugoslavi e
stranieri, si sono svolte le elezioni, coronate dall'assalto al
Parlamento, dall'incendio dell'ufficio della Commissione elettorale,
dalla distruzione delle schede elettorali, da minacce e violenze contro

esponenti della sinistra politica e sindacale. La destra
filooccidentale
ha potuto così appropriarsi di tutti gli organi di informazione ed ha
immediatamente ottenuto il riconoscimento internazionale al quale sono
seguite la richiesta di ammissione al F.M.I. ed all'ONU con l'implicita

dichiarazione di discontinuità rispetto alla vecchia Jugoslavia. La
produzione e la ricostruzione si sono subito bloccate, e le condizioni
sociali sono immediatamente precipitate ; la liberalizzazione dei
prezzi
ha subito prodotto aumenti fortissimi.

Il Coordinamento Nazionale La Jugoslavia Vivrà, alla sua costituzione
nell'estate 2000, si era dato il compito di lottare in Italia contro le

varie forme di aggressione della Nato contro la Repubblica Federale di
Jugoslavia e di fare controinformazione. In particolare il
Coordinamento
intendeva organizzare, assieme ad altre realtà internazionali
antiimperialiste, una nave che rompesse l'embargo imposto da Usa e UE
contro quel Paese: un'azione emblematica contro tutti gli embarghi nel
mondo. Questo progetto attualmente deve essere sospeso, fino ad un
chiarimento degli equilibri politici nella RFJ e sulla effettiva
rimozione
dell'embargo.
Con la proclamazione di Kostunica a Presidente della RFJ l'imperialismo

occidentale ha segnato una tappa importante a suo favore, benché non
necessariamente decisiva: si rende ora necessaria una verifica della
nostra strategia.

Rientra nell'ambito specifico del nostro compito di informazione e
denuncia del progetto imperialista in Jugoslavia:
* Denunciare il carattere di luogotenenza servile dell'attuale
presidenza jugoslava.
* Denunciare il mancato rispetto della risoluzione Onu 1244,
risoluzione peraltro non frutto di un trattato ma conseguenza della
violenza stragista della Nato, e che pure già contiene in sé il vizio
della falsità in quanto programmaticamente disattesa da parte delle
potenze Nato che sostengono le dirigenze secessioniste.
* Mobilitarci per l'espulsione di tutti i rappresentanti dei Paesi Nato

dalle strutture civili e militari dell'amministrazione straniera in
Kosmet e per il ritiro delle truppe Nato da tutto il territorio
balcanico.
* Smascherare la falsa informazione diffusa anche dalla stampa della
sinistra, distintasi nuovamente durante le recenti
elezioni jugoslave per disinformazione. In particolare,
nonostante alcune preziose eccezioni, le testate
giornalistiche "Il Manifesto" e "Liberazione" hanno plaudito, se non
addirittura inneggiato, alla presunta "rivoluzione democratica" di
Kostunica, della DOS e dei loro programmatori economici del G17,
organici al F.M.I.
* Continuare l'opera di concreta solidarietà con la popolazione
soggetta al ricatto neocoloniale.

Riconfermiamo il nostro sostegno a chi si è battuto, si batte e si
batterà contro l'aggressione della Nato e del F.M.I. e per la difesa
delle condizioni di vita, di lavoro e di potere dei lavoratori in
Jugoslavia. Un conflitto acuto è già in atto nei Balcani tra le forze
della riforma in senso liberista e chi difende gli interessi delle
masse
lavoratrici e l'indipendenza nazionale. Auspichiamo che questi ultimi
possano sostenere una forte opposizione per impedire l'attuazione del
"nuovo corso" liberista e delle sue politiche di massacro sociale. Già
le prossime elezioni del 23 dicembre nella Repubblica di Serbia ci
potranno fornire importanti indicazioni, tenendo conto che le pressioni

occidentali continuano ad esercitare una influenza determinante. Una
responsabilità primaria di questa ingerenza illecita è dell'Europa di
Prodi, che, con le sue false promesse e regalie clientelari, i suoi
inganni, i suoi "summit" , intende sottomettere la Jugoslavia alle
esigenze del mercato globalizzato.

E' nostro compito denunciare tutto ciò e lottare contro questa nuova
fase della ricolonizzazione. I conflitti per il controllo e l'esproprio

delle risorse, dopo le aggressioni all'Iraq e alla Jugoslavia, sono
ridiventati elemento costante dello scenario internazionale. Scopo
evidente, anche se coperto dalla onnipresente falsificazione dei media,
è
destrutturare gli assetti e gli ordinamenti nazionali esistenti per
realizzare una nuova spartizione delle risorse materiali e umane (il
"Nuovo ordine mondiale"), e distruggere ogni forma di rappresentanza
collettiva capace di opporsi allo sfruttamento indiscriminato delle
classi subalterne. In questa fase storica è nostro compito identificare

e sostenere tutti quei movimenti di lotta, di liberazione
nazionale e quegli Stati che oggettivamente agiscono in
opposizione al dominio imperiale.

Per contribuire alla crescita di un movimento che si proponga di
interferire nella pianificazione imperialista dei conflitti e che si
opponga con grandi battaglie di controinformazione e mobilitazione alle

nuove avventure militari delle "democrazie" occidentali, è necessario
assumere un punto di vista globale già nell'attività di informazione e
denuncia che ora siamo in grado di sviluppare: è necessario che le
realtà organizzate, nate sulla spinta della solidarietà con specifiche
lotte contro l'imperialismo, riuniscano in un orizzonte unitario le
varie forme di resistenza alla ricolonizzazione in atto nel mondo,
dalla
Jugoslavia alla Palestina - alla cui Intifada esprimiamo piena
solidarietà -, dall'America latina al Medio Oriente, dall'Africa al
Sud-Est asiatico.

Il nostro impegno sull'area balcanica è centrale per le prospettive del

movimento antiimperialista in Italia e fuori, in quanto:
* I governi occidentali stanno creando in quest'area le condizioni per
una destabilizzazione globale che può far esplodere le contraddizioni
inter-imperialiste.
* L'Italia, anche se per ora in posizione subalterna, sta assumendo un
ruolo, tanto politico-economico quanto militare, in un'area che l'ha
già
vista protagonista di avventure coloniali (ricordiamo che oggi l'Italia

è al comando delle truppe di occupazione della provincia serba del
Kosmet così come nel periodo 1941-43).
* La distruzione pianificata delle strutture istituzionali, sociali e
produttive della Jugoslavia - operata attraverso l'imposizione di
politiche neoliberiste di indebitamento, la strumentalizzazione e
l'enfatizzazione delle contraddizioni inter-regionali, il pesante
condizionamento nella vita politica - rappresentano, al di là
dell'aggressione militare e dell'embargo, un modello riproducibile per
modificare gli equilibri geoeconomici in tutta l'Europa
centro-orientale e per l'imposizione di "NATOcrazie" compiacenti verso
gli interessi degli azionisti della nuova colonizzazione.

In Italia in particolare ci proponiamo di contribuire alla costruzione
di un movimento di resistenza centrato sul rigetto delle basi Usa e
Nato
sul nostro territorio, sull'opposizione all'impiantarsi dell'esercito
UE
come nuovo strumento di dominio dell'imperialismo
europeo, sulla lotta al nuovo modello di difesa che prevede la
professionalizzazione dell'esercito, ed in generale contro il ruolo
sempre più decisivo che lo sviluppo del settore militare-industriale va

assumendo nell'assetto politico-economico del nostro Paese.

Il nostro impegno deve integrarsi nella lotta dei popoli contro le
ingiustizie e le diseguaglianze di classe che il capitalismo perpetua
oggi nelle forme della globalizzazione e del neoliberismo.
L'aggressione
imperialista alla Jugoslavia si inscrive nel processo di crisi del modo

di produzione capitalista , crisi che produce un progressivo
approfondirsi della contraddizione tra capitale e
lavoro, tra imperialisti e popoli soggetti a ricolonizzazione. Il
governo e i paramilitari colombiani, il governo e le forze di
repressione in Israele, la DOS e i suoi squadristi hanno alle spalle
gli
stessi uffici di Washington: la resistenza si annuncia come una istanza

necessariamente comune.

[Emperor's Clothes]

What Is Going On in Yugoslavia and The World?
'No Room for Abstentions!'
by Prof. Ivan Angelov
Edited and shortened by Jared Israel (12-15-2000)

In the days when the former "Socialist Community" was giving up
its Marxist ideology and destroying its military potential,
organizational networks and arsenals, concepts were elaborated, and
obviously, plans made to "transform the guerilla fighter from a 20th
Century tool of Marxist
states into a major, 21st Century asset in the arsenal of Western
powers. Western supported and sponsored insurgents will be used for the
purposes of protecting and securing Western interests, and Western
organizations, possessing skills in supporting guerrilla forces will be
held in readiness
for purposes of deterrence." (From a publication of the Institute of
Land Warfare of the U.S. Army, quoted below).

People from far away may rightfully expect that we in Bulgaria
would know more than they about the situation in Yugoslavia since the
two countries are neighbors. Sorry to disappoint them.

It's true that in the weeks before the Oct. 5 coup the Bulgarian
airwaves were thick with tal
k about Yugoslavia. However, the numerous, and as a rule high-volume,
commentaries were mainly limi
ted to the already well-known maxim that "Milosevic is bad and has to
go."

After October 6, when the 'Scourge of Humanity' vanished from the
political arena, very illog
ically the mainstream media's interest vanished too. Hardly anything has
been said about the events
that accompanied Milosevic's decision to resign. Pictures of fires in
Belgrade appeared on the fro
nt pages of newspapers but people had to guess who set those fires and
why. E-mails and Internet co
mmunications became scarce.

The usual answer to the question, "What took place in Yugoslavia?"
is: they had early electio
ns. (Early because the governing coalition wasn't required to call
elections on Sept. 24th.)

But were they truly "elections"? To what extent does "election"
describe what happened in and
around Yugoslavia this past Fall? A thoughtful answer to this question
can clarify what kind of wo
rld we live in and what we can expect from the future.

Intervention: The New Norm

It is annoying that neither Yugoslav authorities nor the
opposition - neither leaders nor ord
inary citizens - neither experts in law nor humanitarians - no one in
Yugoslavia, in nearby countri
es or the world has for a single moment questioned the idea that these
elections could be considere
d fair when part of a country is occupied - as Yugoslavia is occupied -
by foreign troops.(1)

Perhaps because Great Power interference has been commonplace
world-wide for decades it is no
w a norm of Law? If so, then various International Agreements should be
amended. That way future ge
nerations will know there is nothing wrong with having foreign troops on
a country's soil, that for
eign pressure helps citizens freely express themselves..

How would the citizens of divided Germany or the anti-Communist
protestors in Poland, Hungary
or Czechoslovakia have treated this interesting notion ten years ago?

Elections in the presence of foreign troops continue to be held in
many areas. Bosnia is just
one example. Such elections are even encouraged in Kosovo which isn't
an independent nation but ra
ther part of Yugoslavia, an established state.

Elections to Sanctify Imperial Gains

Perhaps in today's world elections are increasingly devoid of
their original meaning. Perhaps
instead they function to further and sanctify certain covert
intentions, activities and interests.
Perhaps elections are increasingly a ritual aimed at pronouncing a
blessing (or a blasphemy?) over
a certain state of things, established by other means.

Yugoslavia's Fall elections, held ahead of term, are part of a
series of actions imposed on Y
ugoslavia by threat from the most powerful military, economic and
political forces in the world. Da
yton and other so-called peace agreements were reached in the same way -
at the point of a gun - ju
st as "peace" was established in Kosovo.

Elections were freely held under the threat of force, i.e., of
another war, and this threat r
emained over Yugoslavia after the idea of early elections was imposed.
Obviously this is now consid
ered normal, just as putting a 5 million dollar bounty on the head of
Miloshevich, President of Yug
oslavia, is considered normal, as if we were living in the times of
Genghis Khan, or the Ottoman Co
nquests, as if we were living under the Nazi occupation of Europe.

Foreign legislative and executive bodies made official
declarations concerning not only how Y
ugoslavia's elections were to be conducted, but on the acceptability
(and unacceptability) of vario
us possible outcomes. How helpful for the citizens! In an unprecedented
step, parallel counting of
votes was organized, bankrolled by Western powers. NATo-organized
military exercises were carried o
ut near Yugoslavia and NATO's Deputy Secretary General visited
neighbouring countries on the very e
ve of the elections. The US Chief of Staff, Gen. Shelton, visited
immediately afterwards. Hours bef
ore the vote, top EU and NATO officials literally forbade one of the
electoral candidates [Miloshev
ich] from winning.

And remember, all these "suggestions" about how the Yugoslavs
should run their elections, and
who had permission to win, were made in an atmosphere where violent
intervention was threatened. I
t was suggested that a new intervention could be more massive and
destructive than during the 78 da
y bombing in 1999. Weren't these speculations of dire consequences,
should the wrong side win, mean
t to guide Yugoslav voters? And of course, the events of 1999 clearly
showed that neither the UN no
r anybody else was willing or able to stop such violence.

Where can we find an analogy to this level of intervention except
in the Munich Deal of 1938,
the capture of Abyssinia [or Ethiopia, by Mussolini's Fascist troops]
and the rape of Manchuria [b
y Japan] before World War II. (I wonder, did certain sensible
intellectuals in Germany, Italy or Ja
pan write articles pointing out that the Abyssinian and Manchurian
governments had never held prope
r elections, that the Italian and Japanese armies were therefore
contributing to democracy by smash
ing these non-democratic regimes, which coincidentally existed in zones
of special interest to Ital
y and Japan?)

The attacks on Manchuria and Abyssinia [or Ethiopia] are viewed as
outright aggression in doc
uments on International Relations and Law. Perhaps now these views
should be revised. Maybe it's ou
tmoded to speak of "aggressor countries", referring to those great
powers of the near past. Or will
scholars prove that Yugoslavia is much less democratic than, say,
Abyssinia and Manchuria in the 1
930s, thus justifying the use of force by today's Great Powers? There is
a great deal of room, here
, for scholarly work.

Elections a Cover for Covert Action

Even if we assume that all forms of external coercion are
permissible in the struggle against
that arch "enemy of Humanity" (meaning, of course, Mr. Milosevic) the
question remains: can and sh
ould all these tactics be attributed to the concept, the process and the
procedure of elections?

In fact, from the beginning the idea of early elections was a way
of creating the necessary c
overt conditions and atmosphere for carrying out the next stage of a
very special war effort agains
t Yugoslavia and its established institutions.

Isn't it troubling that much of what has happened and is possibly
going on in Yugoslavia fits
almost perfectly into what is called in the specialized literature on
military issues, Low-Intensi
ty Conflict (LIC)?

Low Intensity Conflict: Subversion Foreseen in 1990

"Low-Intensity Conflict" - according to its definition - "is armed
conflict for political pur
poses short of combat between regularly organized forces" (See: Rod
Pascal, "LIC 2010 - Special Ope
rations and Unconventional Warfare in the Next Century, Future Warfare
Studies. Published with the
Institute of Land Warfare Association of the U.S. Army," 1990,
Brassley's Inc, US., page 7.).

"It is not mid-intensity conflict, which is armed conflict between
regularly organized milita
ry forces" (though it "may also include terrorist incidents, or even
concurrent insurgent campaigns
"), neither a high-intensity conflict which is "armed combat involving
the use of mass-destructive
weapons" (ibid., page 8)

The Low-Intensity Conflict "definition surely includes a terrorist
act but excludes, for exam
ple, the usual hostage-taking by a bank robber. It includes a
counter-insurgency campaign in which
a regular-armed force is pitted against guerillas or irregulars. It
describes the activities of ins
urgents engaged in an armed attempt to overthrow a government. The
definition also encompasses the
efforts of a 'peace-keeping force.'" (ibid., page 7).

a.. Though it is noted that "these definitions differ somewhat
from the basically blessed t
erminology of the US Army" there is a little doubt left that "they
accurately reflect the intent of
the U.S. Army definitions" (ibid., page 8).
Ten years ago, when Mankind sincerely believed that not a "New
World Order" but a New Epoch o
f Peace, International Confidence and Cooperation was ahead, some
specialists in military theory we
re foreseeing that "insurgency, perhaps one of the oldest forms of
warfare, should be much in evide
nce in 2010." (ibid., page 6).

In the days when the former "Socialist Community" was giving up
its Marxist ideology and dest
roying its military potential, organizational networks and arsenals,
concepts were elaborated and p
lans made to "transform the guerilla fighter from a 20th Century tool of
Marxist states into a majo
r, 21st Century asset in the arsenal of Western powers. Western
supported and sponsored insurgents
will be used for the purposes of protecting and securing Western
interests, and Western organizatio
ns, possessing skills in supporting guerrilla forces will be held in
readiness for purposes of dete
rrence." (ibid., page 6)

And further, "special operational forces are those military or
naval elements specifically or
ganized, trained and equipped to conduct or support insurgency,
sabotage, psychological deception,
counter-terrorist, foreign assistance or commando-type operations. These
units are normally capable
of performing rescue, reconnaissance, and intelligent-gathering tasks."
(ibid., page 8)

Every country has the right and obligation to foresee necessary
concepts and technologies in
the military field. The fact that a group of countries (like the former
Eastern block) have, for wh
atever reason, unilaterally given up this duty, by no means entails any
obligations by others. Stil
l, since these countries did really leave the "doors open" with
practically no one against the West
(at least since 1989) the question arises: why should their inclusion
into the New World Order be
accompanied not only by economic ruin but also by sabotage, deliberately
set fires or a variety of
mid- and low-intensity conflicts?

Of course, one could give many meaningful answers to that
question. Internal causes cannot be
ignored. And external interference is not always easily found or
proved.

But it is beyond doubt that a very dangerous imbalance has become
appallingly obvious during
the last decade of the 20th Century because while one of the two main
Global forces, i.e., the East
ern block, has destroyed most of its military establishments and
arsenals, Western counterparts hav
e maintained and further perfected theirs.

The imbalance means Mankind seems to have lost one of its real
chances to abolish war as a wa
y of settling disputes. This brings us to the very important question of
the moral responsibility o
f the victors in the Cold War. Surprisingly this issue has not been
touched upon, either by Bush or
Gorbachov, though the world has obviously suffered through a decade
that began with the promise of
an era of peace, brotherhood and prosperity for all.

West Encourages Destructive Forces in the East

People in Western countries may find this difficult to believe,
but the very existence of thi
s dis-equilibrium has produced an increased inclination towards violence
in the East. Things like t
he unnecessary fires in downtown Bucharest [Romania] and Sofia
[Bulgaria] during the so-called "vel
vet revolutions" in the early 90s, the artillery shooting assault on the
Russian Parliament in 1993
, etc., could hardly happen without the belief (was it erroneous?) that
such acts would be understo
od and supported by previous adversaries in the West. Similar
expectations of Western support in Ko
sovo and elsewhere in Yugoslavia have also been decisive in bringing
about extreme violence there.


In the same way, once begun, the notion of early elections in
Yugoslavia followed all the mai
n points of, say, the Nicaraguan scenario of free and fair elections in
1990. While the atmosphere
around the country was thick with threats of another war, a series of
demonstrative murders of well
-known personalities took place in Belgrade and in other main cities. In
Nicaragua this meant: "Thi
s will continue if you do not vote for the right candidate!" Such
Warnings obviously worked in Nica
ragua. Why would they pass unnoticed in Yugoslavia? Its population had
been keenly educated by a de
cade of war, carried out by superior military powers. And remember, with
very few exceptions, there
was no meaningful understanding and support from any institution or
world power for Yugoslavia's e
fforts to maintain its independence and self-designed path of
development.

What is being determined these days in Yugoslavia is the course
and quality of life of many g
enerations in many countries all over the world, including those in the
states that have been engag
ed in attacking Yugoslavia. People can only take temporary consolation
if the wars and abuses of so
vereignty and dignified human life take place at seemingly great
geographic distances. Once these a
buses exist they have a marvelous capacity to spread. They will even
come home, like a boomerang. T
his has happened throughout history. (2)

Yugoslavia's political system manifested a certain number of
deficiencies, faults, even crime
s in the course of its existence. This is true in all countries. Yet the
Yugoslavs have turned out
to be capable of maintaining a dignified and independent position both
during World War II and the
Cold War. Perhaps for this reason many people the world over expected
the Serbs to resist alone and
even once again win a victory over the overwhelming military powers
once again challenging their i
ndependence. Perhaps many people are even disappointed with the lack of
sufficient resistance and e
ven massive sacrifice for the sake of that cause.

Obviously Humanity (or at least a substantial part of it) needs
another Christ to suffer and
die for it and - to be more exact - for things and causes that it has
not been able to keep and def
end itself.

But does it have the right to expect suffering and sacrifice on
the side of others while it i
tself, with all its might, potentials and capacities has proved
practically incapable of doing anyt
hing to prevent practices of abuses of International Law, Freedom,
Justice and Independence? Why di
dn't any of the powerful members of the UN Security Council use their
veto against the Internationa
l Tribunal in the Hague, that violates the UN's own legal procedures and
practices? On which basis
then may any of these countries expect understanding or support among
the world public when it will
need them? (3)

What did the people of Yugoslavia's immediate neighbouring
countries do when NATO conducted m
ilitary exercises on their territories on the very days of those so-very
free elections? Official d
eclarations were made, of course, that these "exercises have been
planned long before the elections
" and "can in no way be interpreted as acts of interference into the
internal affairs of a sovereig
n country". That is very reassuring, and yet the question remains why
these exercises were not put
off when it was discovered that they coincided with the elections? Why
did no political party or le
gal expert express any doubt, concern or protest, related to these
numerous "entirely accidental ra
ndom coincidences"?

What is the value of all the talk of Free and Fair Elections in a
country, a substantial part
of which (Kosovo) is under occupation of foreign troops? International
Law still has to give adequ
ate answers to this and similar questions. What could be the legal
foundations of claims for early
elections under such conditions? Could even the decision of the
Government of this country to set a
date for such elections be considered legitimate under such
circumstances?

Very surprisingly, so far questions like these have hardly been
asked. It does not mean, howe
ver, that they need not be answered.

Obviously it will take quite some time before we learn the truth
about what really happened i
n Yugoslavia or what is happening now. Like elsewhere in Eastern Europe
in similar cases we may not
learn why it was necessary to start fires in downtown Belgrade or
maltreat people who obviously co
uld offer no resistance.

The joy and feasts in the streets of Belgrade over the "victory"
apparently has not lasted lo
ng. Perhaps because the groups and units whose purpose was to ensure the
transfer of power, have be
en assigned other specific tasks, like getting hold of banks, customs
and other important instituti
ons. It seems as if the very name of the new President [Koshtunitsa], no
matter if he knows or does
not know what's happening around him, tends to be repeatedly used as a
kind of a substitute for la
ws and all the other existing institutions and levels of state power in
the country. Observing all
this from as close as 100 miles away, we in Sofia and elsewhere in
Eastern Europe are reminded of a
movie that we have already seen. And what we already know very well out
of personal experiences is
that hardly anything of what has been promised before the crisis and
'victory' will come true afte
rwards. The people of Yugoslavia will alas learn this truth.

Historic parallels are always somewhat risky. Still, what may be
called the "Fall of Belgrade
" these days may be compared to a certain extent to the Fall of Paris at
the end of the "Strange Wa
r" in 1940. In both cases there were expectations of greater resistance.

It took quite a time, great efforts and sacrifice for Humanity to
stop the spread of War and
Evil across the world in the first half of the 20th Century.

Will there be a need of another Stalingrad or El Alameyn, or ...
Armageddon to do this once a
gain sometime in the new Century? When and where may this take place?
And who is going to be on whi
ch side?

We can only guess what may happen in the future. What seems likely
however, is that national,
ethnic or religious differences may turn out to be of minor importance
compared to moral differenc
es. And the choice will be as simple as that: "On Humanity's side or -
against it!"

And there will be no room for abstentions.

Comments and Further Reading:

(1) It is both tragic and ironic that in today's world accurate
news is as scarce as rubies;
one must sift through mountains of misinformation to find the truth.
Ironic because misinformation
thrives amidst the finest technology for transmitting information.
Tragic because the wall of lies
discourages people struggling against injustice; they don't know that
all around them, others share
their views. Because Dr. Angelov finished this article October 10th
(that is, shortly after the Yu
goslav coup) and also due to the increasing control of Bulgarian media
by U.S. Imperial interests,
Mr. Angelov states that nobody else has questioned the possibility of
holding fair elections in a Y
ugoslavia under intense U.S. and German attack. In fact, many people
have raised quite similar poin
ts, especially on the Internet. For example, consider the following
three (among many) articles pub
lished on Emperor's Clothes:

* "U.S. Arrogance and Yugoslav Elections" at
http://emperors-clothes.com/engl.htm

* "Yugoslav Election Results: Big Defeat for U.S. 5th Column
Tactics" at http://emperors-cl
othes.com/analysis/elec.htm

* "Election Day: A letter from Blagovesta Doncheva" at
http://emperors-clothes.com/articles
/doncheva/electionday.htm

In his speech to Yugoslavia, delivered Oct. 2, Mr. Miloshevich did
not, like Mr. Angelov, exp
licitly question the validity of the elections, but he certainly
described the Imperial violence, t
hreats and massive bribery that accompanied those elections. (See
'Milosevic's Speech to the Nation
' at http://emperors-clothes.com/news/milosevi.htm )

Moreover, the Yugoslav government issued a report to the U.N.
Security Council documenting th
e outrageous level of foreign interference. This document, entitled
"Memorandum On Foreign Interfer
ence In The Yugoslav Elections" can be read at
http://emperors-clothes.com/memor.htm (though not in
the Western media!)

The Memorandum was issued Oct. 4th, just before the coup. The
Security Council's failure to a
ct on the Yugoslav government's searing report of violent interference,
involving three Security Co
uncil members - the U.S., England and France - in elections in one of
the U.N.'s founding member st
ates demonstrates the bankruptcy of the U.N. It has become a cover for
Imperial aggression.

(2) The idea Mr. Angelov raises here is dealt with in "For Whom
the Bell Tolls" by Jared Isra
el at http://emperors-clothes.com/articles/jared/tolls.htm

War Crimes Tribunal" by Dr

Give the Gift of 'Judgment'!

What could be a better gift than the truth? It's more precious
than gold. Give it to friends,
relatives. Everyone needs to see this movie.

The Emperor's Clothes' movie 'Judgment' shows how pictures were
fabricated to demonize the Bo
snian Serbs. Remember that famous shot of the 'emaciated man behind
barbed wire'? In this 32 minute
movie we prove that this image was manufactured to fool the world and
we recreate the fabrication,
demonstrating step by step how it was accomplished.

the

were

> 2.
> This year September parliamentary and presidential elections in the
Federal

> enormous internal and external pressures and threats, especially through
the
> media, economic as well as military, adding to the almost ten years long

> electoral process itself, via threats and blackmail, financial support for
> opposition, building of media network and the network of numerous foreign
> "non-governmental organisations" by the intelligence centres, become, in
> months before elections "normal and every day practice " in our country.
All
> that, together with long-standing fierce pressure by militant and
> conservative circles at the West, brake-up of former Yugoslavia and war in
> the neighbouring countries, numerous refugees and, at the end, brutal NATO
> aggression on our country, had one objective - to intimidate our citizens
> and to destroy the state and its economy. All that served as a
"preparation"
> of sorts for September election in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. In
> short, these were the conditions before the September elections, which by
no
> means were regular. In spite of that elections were held as scheduled.
>
> 3.
> After the September 24th elections and especially after the October 5th
> events, for the SPS and the country as a whole a completely new situation
> arise, characterised by: a) widespread disrespect for Constitution and the
> law, disturbance of public order and peace, putting safety of the citizens
> and their property into danger, disrespect for the institution of the
> system, as well as state and social property by the so called "crisis
> committees" acting under auspices of DOS; b) all that brought about a high
> degree of insecurity of citizens, companies, numerous economic subjects,
> institutions of health care and education, because complete management's
of
> institutions and companies was removed in an illegal and violent manner,
and
> persons of different opinion are, in various fashion, being discredited
and
> persecuted.
>
> Almost all the media. press and TV are being badly misused to attack
persons
> of different opinions, political adversaries, Socialist party and left and
> patriotic forces as a whole. Especially primitive and unbecoming were
> attacks on the president of SPS Slobodan Milosevic and his family. Such
> attacks are offensive and bellow any national dignity and human morality.
In
> short, since October 5th onwards violence and a putsch of sorts is at the

>
> 4.
> Wishing to prevent further extremely unfavourable development in that
> direction, drifting towards anarchy and blockade of all the vital services

> and systems in the Republic, SPS on October 16th instant accepted and
signed
> Agreement on Holding Extraordinary Elections in Serbia. On the basis of
that
> Agreement, being aware of the need for political, economic and social
> stability, normal functioning of all the institutions of state, new
> government was formed, elections are scheduled for December 23rd instant.
>
> Unfortunately, mentioned Agreement, due to the obstruction by DOS and SPO
is
> not implemented fully nor partly, thus causing not only blockade of the
> Government, but also may increase political tensions and endanger , by
> creating irregular conditions, holding of the elections on December 23rd .
> There are also material losses and damages, enormous growth of prices,
huge
> downfall of production in many areas. Power shortages, even water
shortages
> are pointing to very serious consequences to the standard of living and
> general security.
>
> 5.
> Such political and security situation is skilfully and arrogantly used by
> the Albanian terrorists, members of the KPC and KLA, making intrusions
into
> the Ground Zone of Security, killing our policemen, seizing traffic
> infrastructure, certain villages and police control points. Thought there
is

efficient

further

the

> 6.
> In short these are conditions under which are elections for the deputies
of
> the National Assembly of Serbia are being held on December 23rd . In
whole,
> these conditions are very austere from many aspects, but especially from
the

milieus

Election

of

>
> Points of Departure of the SPS in the Coming Elections
>
> 7.
> Faithful implementation of the existing Programme as well as the basic
> document of the 4th Congress of SPS "Reconstruction, Development, Reforms"
> is the basic framework and landmark for the activities of SPS as a whole
and
> every individual member. In short:
>
> a) SPS advocates society and state of freedom and justice for all people.
In
> that respect SPS is open towards those who are for a modern democratic
> society in which all the problems shall be solved by political means,
> peacefully, in a civilised and democratic manner. In short, for a society
in
> which every one shall be guaranteed political, social and economic rights;
>
> b) SPS is against administrative measures in all areas, especially in the
> economy where the market concept should fully hold sway; SPS is for
> all-sided ownership transformation (within specific legal framework, where
> all forms of ownership shall be equal), but based on realistic appraisal
of
> the value of invested funds, with requisite level of social security for
all
> the employed and all the strata of population; for the society which shall
> provide for all-sided cultural development and high quality of life for
> every individual;
>
> c) For SPS, peace in Serbia and its surroundings is of paramount interest.
> At the same time, SPS is against any aggression, endangering of security
and
> integrity of our country, oppression, enslavement and exploitation of
> people, and especially against lawlessness, methods of violence and
> pressure, both external and internal.
>
> d) SPS is for all-sided international relations of our country with all
> countries in the world, such relations being based on complete equality,
> mutual respect and non-interference in the internal affairs.
>
> 8.
> Struggle for independence, freedom and dignity, integrity and wholeness
of
> Serbia and Yugoslavia was and still is unchanged commitment of the SPS. In
> that sense, for SPS faithful implementation of the Resolution 1244 on
Kosovo
> and Metohia is a must; without it there would be no peace in Kosovo and
> Metohia and in the region; without it there would be no return of all
> displaced Serbs, Montenegrins and other non-Albanian population to the

> SPS ought to be ready to successfully confront the newly created
situation

such

> In Serbia, unlike many other countries, exists a deeply rooted socialist

followed

> 12.
> Central part of the SPS Manifesto should be provision of public order and
> security, honouring and protection of laws and Constitution, all the
> institutions of state and society, all the forms of property, personal and
> property safety of all citizens. Therefor, the most important issues are
> life issues of the citizens (employment and labour relations, wages and

> Direct consequence of ascending into power of the ideology of

so-called

Production
> and developmental opportunities and comparative advantages of agriculture
> and rural areas of Serbia are proven in the preceding decade, in
> exceptionally difficult conditions. Agriculture and Serbian peasant gave
the

of

>
> 57.
> In agriculture, for SPS, main developmental objectives are: optimal use
of
> existing capacities, increase of the quantity of agricultural production,
> further change of production structure corresponding to demands at
domestic
> and foreign markets, in favour of development of cattle breeding,
industrial
> crops, seed production, fruits, grapes, vegetables and production of
health
> food for increased exports; revival and all-sided development of rural

> products in the food industry. Farmers, agricultural enterprises,
processing

these

>
> All-sided development of the rural areas, strong agricultural household
and
> rich peasant are perspectives of development of Serbia and the objective
of

faster

> 58.
> Measures of development and agricultural policy should make agricultural

make

> For SPS absolute priority in development of agriculture is given to the

domestic

> Foreign Policy Priorities
>
> 81.
> In foreign policy and international co-operation SPS shall endure at:
>
> - strengthening of independent international position of FRY through
> development of relations and co-operation with other countries and
> international organisations on the basis of equality, mutual respect,
> honouring of mutual interest, sovereignty and territorial integrity and
> non-interference into internal affairs,
>
> - Development of Yugoslavia and whole region in peace, good
neighbourliness
> and interconnecting, in accordance with integration processes;
>
> - Affirmation of spiritual, cultural and nation identity and creativity of
> Serb people, its contribution towards Europe and defence of her values;
>
> - Comprehensive intervening and accord between home and Serb Diaspora;
>
> - Connecting and co-operation with all the parties and movements striving
> for peace, development, equality among peoples and nations, for democratic
> and humane relations. In that respect, SPS is open and ready to co-operate
> and become a member of the Socialist International in accordance with the
> principles of SI.
>
> 82.
> In order to achieve these goals SPS advocates the following:
>
> - mutual honouring of legal order based on UN Charter, Charter of Paris,
> Helsinki Final Act of the OSCE as well as international standards
regarding
> human rights and rights of the national minorities. International law has
to
> be above any power and arrogance;
>
> - free choice of paths of internal development. It is unacceptable to
impose
> ready made models disregarding specifics of historical and cultural
> development, suffocating freedom and diminishing creative potentials of
any
> country;
>
> - solution for all consequences of brake-up of SFRY by negotiations,
> honouring legitimate interests of all parties, faithful implementation of
> authentic Dayton Agreement on B-H;
>
> - transformation of the Balkans into zone of peace and co-operation,
without
> foreign troops, nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction. Creation of
> the Zone of Free Trade at the Balkans.
>
> 83.
> Normalisation of membership rights of FRY in OUN and its agencies, OSCE
and
> other international economic and financial organisations is a legitimate
> goal. It is, however, non-permissible, in the process, to violate
> Constitution of the FRY and resolutions of the Federal Assembly
prescribing
> respect to the international personality of the country based on the
> centuries-long statehood of Serbia and Montenegro. Ignoring rights and
> interests of Serbia and Montenegro, acquired by centuries-long activities
at
> the international scene and huge contribution to the European and world
> legal order, disregarding the fact that these are the two oldest states at
> the Balkans, victors in two World Wars, creators of Yugoslavia, founding
> members of the League of Nations and the UN endangers vital national and
> state interest of our country and people.
>
> 84.
> By accession to the Stability Pact without prior accord of the
appropriate
> Federal organs international position of the FRY is drastically changed.
> Such U-turns are contrary to the geo-strategic position of the country and
> historical heritage of our people. They are expression of the policy of

a
