DOVE E' FINITO L'ORO DEI ROM STERMINATI DAI NAZISTI?

EUROPA EST: SOROS ANNUNCIA CREAZIONE FONDO PER UNIVERSITARI ROM
19.06.2001 - Roma

Il miliardario George Soros ha presentato un progetto per assegnare
borse di studio a centinaia di zingari che vivono in Europa dell'Est.
In un discorso tenuto a Bratislava, Soros ha spiegato che gran parte
del denaro per le borse di studio viene dall'oro rubato alla comunità
rom dai nazisti durante la Seconda guerra mondiale e custodito poi
dagli alleati. La Open Society di Soros provvederà al resto del denaro
che servirà per finanziare gli studi dei ragazzi rom di sette ex paesi
comunisti: Bulgaria, Repubblica Ceca, Ungheria, Macedonia, Romania,
Slovacchia e Serbia. Il progetto mira a costituire una nuova elite rom,
mentre adesso i giovani rom spesso non possono continuare gli studi per
mancanza di fondi.

SRBI I PALESTINCI

http://www.artel.co.yu/sr/izbor/jugoslavija/2003-09-22_1.html

Spomenka Deretic, novinar
Beograd, 17. septembar 2003. godine

Dok sam ponovo procitavala sjajnu studiju Majkla Parentija "Ubiti
naciju" nametnulo mi se nekoliko pitanja. U kakvom svetu mi to zivimo
ako u njemu vlada zakon dzungle, odnosno, zakon jacega. Kakav je to
svet u kojem male nacije nemaju pravo da samostalno odlucuju od
drustvenim uredjenjima u svojim drzavama. Kakav je to svet u kojem je
nekima dozvoljeno da druge drzave, manje i slabije, bombarduju,
unistavaju, i porobljavaju. Mi zivimo u svetu koji nije multipolaran.
Zivimo u vremenu kada nad nasom Planetom vlada zlo zvano Sjedinjene
Americke Drzave i njen monstruozni NATO vojni dzin. Na svu srecu
ubedjena sam, a istorija me je tome naucila, da niko nije zemaljskom
kuglom gospodario dugo. Majkl Parenti me je naterao da se prisetim
poslednje nepravde koju drzava Izrael pod mocnom zastitom Sjedinjenih
Americkih Drzava nanosi malom palestinskom narodu. Izrealski
funkcioneri hladnokrvno su izjavili da ce proterati Palestinskog lidera
Jasera Arafata iz Palestine, a neki Izraelaci zvanicnici da ga treba
ubiti. Jasera Arafata Izrael optuzuje da podstice palestinski
terorizam, ja mislim da je palestinski terorizam izazvao jedino Izrael
okupacijom Palestine. Do stvaranja jevrejske drzave na tlu Palestine,
posle Drugog svetskog rata, - Arapi i Jevreji su vekovima ziveli
zajedno. Nisu Arapi srusili Solomonov hram u Jerusalimu nego su to
ucinili pre dve hiljade godina Rimljani. Nisu Jevreje iz Izraela
iselili Palestinci nego su se pred rimskom vojnom silom Jevreji
rasprsili svuda po svetu. Nisu Palestinci izvrsili genocid nad
Jevrejima u Drugom svetskom ratu nego su to ucinili evropski nacisti.
Priznajem da se Palestinci nisu obradovali osnivanju cionistickih
naseobina na tlu Palestine koja su pocela da se grade na pocetku
dvadesetog veka. Ali takodje necu da zaboravim da jevrejske izbeglice
iz Centralne Evrope nisu rado prihvatali ni Velika Britanija ni
Sjedinjene Americke Drzave a ni Petenova Francuska. Kao sto sam zalila
Jevreje kada su stradali, tako sada zalim Palestince i Iracane - i moje
Srbe.
Zamislite sta bi se desilo da je Slobodan Milosevic proterao ubicu i
pljackasa Hasima Tacija ili lidera albanske nacionalne manjine na
Kosovu i Metohiji Ibrahima Rugovu? Pa Srbiju je NATO bombardovao zbog
izmisljenih albanski izbeglica, a sta bi tek uradio da su Srbi bili
prema Albancima onakvi kakvi Izraelci jesu prema Palestincima. I kada
se srpska policija branila od zaseda ubacenih iz Albanije, albanskih
terorista koje su dobro obucili penzionisani americkli, britanski i
nemacki oficiri, nije palila niti do temelja rusila albanska sela u
srpskoj pokrajini Kosovo i Metohija. Izraelci do temelja ruse
palestinska sela. Oni to mogu jer ih Sjedinjene Americke Drzave stite.
Ponekad mi se cini da Tel Aviv vlada Vasingtonom.

UBILI SU IRAK, UBILI SU AVGANISTAN I MOJU SRBIJU
Bombardovanje Srbije bilo je duboko nemoralni cin. Majkl Parenti kaze
da je vazdusni napad NATO-a na Jugoslaviju unistio veci deo onoga sto
je preostalo od nase zemlje i priblizio Jugoslaviju sve vise
privatizovanoj, razindustrijalizvanoj, ponovo kolonizovanoj, prosjackoj
drzavi jeftine radne snage i bogatih izvora koji su na raspolaganju po
niskim cenama. Bombardovanjem Jugoslavije i dovodjenjem na vlast
partija i partijica koje je Vasingrton direktno finansirao Jugoslaviji
je oduzeta svaka mogucnost odbrane od prodora divljackog kapitalizma
toliko povijena da se nikada vise nece uzdici, cak ni kao konkurentna
burzaoaska zemlja sposobna za zivot.
U ovoj nesreci nismo sami. Amerika i Velika Britanija unistile su svaku
poljoprivrednu jedinicu u Iraku. Sporazumima Svetske trgovinske
organizacije (WTO) o "slobodnoj trgovini" u Meksiku, Indiji, Africi
unistava se moguca konkurencija i uvecavaju trzisne mogucnosti za
poljoprivredno poslovanje multinacionalnih korporacija. Unistavnje
nasih drzavnih fabrika koje proizvode farmaceutske proizvode pod znatno
nizim cenama od svojih konkurenata sa zapada ima za cilj uvecanje
vrednosti investicija zapadnih farmaceutskih kompanij. Hvala Parentiju
sto je napisao da svaka srpska televizijska ili radio stanica koja je
unistena NATO bombama ili koju su zapadni Evropljani zatvorili preko
svojih vazala u Srbiji, produzava ideolosku i komunikacijsku dominaciju
kartela zapadnih medija.
Jedini izlaz vidim u borbi protiv nacisticke globalizacije sveta koju
sprovode Sjedinjene Americke Drzave uz pomoc vlada mocnih zemalja u
Zapadnoj Evropi. Moje oruzje je pisanje a moja municija su cinjenice.
Za mene je sloboda pojam iznad svih pojmova.

SERBEN UND PALÄSTINENSER

http://www.artel.co.yu/de/izbor/jugoslavija/2003-09-24.html

Spomenka Deretic, Journalistin
Belgrad, 17. September 2003

Als ich erneut die brillante Studie Michael Parentis "Eine Nation
töten" las, drängten sich mir einige Fragen auf. In was für einer Welt
leben wir, wenn in ihr das Dschungelgesetz bzw. das Gesetz des
Stärkeren herrscht? Was ist das für eine Welt, in der kleine Nationen
kein Recht haben, selbstständig über die Gesellschaftsordnungen in
ihren Staaten zu entscheiden? Was ist das für eine Welt, in der es
einigen erlaubt ist, andere Staaten, kleinere und schwächere, zu
bombardieren, zu vernichten und zu unterdrücken? Wir leben in einer
Welt, die nicht multipolar ist. Wir leben in einer Zeit, da über
unseren Planeten das Übel, genannt USA, und deren monströser
militärischer NATO-Riese herrscht. Zum Glück, davon bin ich überzeugt,
und die Geschichte hat mich das gelehrt, hat niemand lange den Erdball
beherrscht. Michael Parenti brachte mich dazu, mich an die letzte
Ungerechtigkeit zu erinnern, die der Staat Israel unter dem mächtigen
Schutz der USA dem kleinen palästinensischen Volk zufügt. Israelische
Funktionäre erklärten kaltblütig, sie werden den palästinischen Führer
Yassir Arafat des Landes verweisen, und einige israelische Offizielle,
sie werden ihn töten. Israel beschuldigt Yassir Arafat, den
palästinensischen Terrorismus zu stimulieren. Ich glaube, den
palästinensischen Terrorismus hat einzig und allein Israel mit der
Okkupation Palästinas verursacht. Bis zur Gründung des jüdischen
Staates auf dem Boden Palästinas nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg haben
Araber und Juden seit Jahrhunderten zusammen gelebt. Es waren nicht die
Araber, die Salomos Tempel in Jerusalem zerstörten, sondern das taten
vor zweitausend Jahren die Römer. Nicht die Palästinenser haben die
Juden Israel ausgesiedelt, sondern die Juden haben sich vor der
römischen Militärgewalt überall in der Welt zerstreut. Nicht die
Palästinenser haben im Zweiten Weltkrieg ein Genozid an den Juden
begangen, sondern das taten die europäischen Nazis. Zugegeben, die
Palästinenser waren nicht erfreut, als auf dem Boden Palästinas zu
Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts zionistische Siedlungen gegründet wurden.
Aber ich werde auch nicht vergessen, dass weder Großbritannien, noch
die USA und auch nicht Pétains Frankreich die jüdischen Flüchtlinge aus
Mitteleuropa gern aufgenommen haben. So wie ich die Juden bedauerte,
als sie in ihr Unglück gestürzt wurden, so bedauere ich jetzt die
Palästinenser und die Iraker - und meine Serben.
Stellen Sie sich vor, was passiert wäre, wenn Slobodan Miloševic die
Mörder und Plünderer Hashim Taqis oder des Führers der albanischen
nationalen Minderheit in Kosovo und Metohija, Ibrahim Rugova,
vertrieben hätte? Die NATO hat Serbien bombardiert wegen erfundener
albanischer Flüchtlinge. Was hätte sie aber erst getan, hätten sich die
Serben gegenüber den Albanern wie die Israelis gegenüber den
Palästinensern verhalten? Und als sich die serbische Polizei vor den
aus Albanien eingeschleusten albanischen Terroristen, gut ausgebildet
von pensionierten amerikanischen, britischen und deutschen Offizieren,
verteidigte, hat sie die albanischen Dörfer in der serbischen Provinz
Kosovo und Metohija nicht gebrandschatzt oder dem Erdboden
gleichgemacht. Die Israelis zerstören die palästinensischen Dörfer in
Grund und Boden. Sie können das, denn die USA schützen sie. Manchmal
scheint es mir, als herrsche Washington über Tel Aviv.

SIE TÖTETEN DEN IRAK, TÖTETEN AFGHANISTAN UND MEIN SERBIEN
Die Bombardierung Serbiens war ein zutiefst unmoralischer Akt. Michael
Parenti schreibt, der Luftangriff der NATO auf Jugoslawien habe einen
größeren Teil dessen zerstört, was noch von unserem Land übrig
geblieben ist, und Jugoslawien immer mehr einem privatisierten,
industrielosen, erneut kolonisierten Bettelstaat billiger Arbeitskräfte
und reicher Quellen angenähert, die zu niedrigen Preisen zur Verfügung
stehen. Durch die Bombardierung Jugoslawiens und die Machteinsetzung
von Parteien und Splitterparteien, die Washington direkt finanzierte,
wurde Jugoslawien jede Möglichkeit der Verteidigung vor dem Vorstoß des
aggressiven Kapitalismus genommen und dermaßen zu Boden gedrückt, so
dass es niemals wieder auf die Beine kommt, sogar auch nicht als
bourgeoises konkurrenzfähiges und daseinsfähiges Land.
In diesem Unglück stehen wir nicht alleine da. Amerika und
Großbritannien haben jeden Landwirtschaftsbetrieb im Irak zerstört.
Durch Abkommen der Welthandelsorganisation (WTO) über die
"Freihandelszone" in Mexiko, Indien, Afrika wird die eventuelle
Konkurrenz ausgeschaltet. Außerdem werden die Marktmöglichkeiten für
landwirtschaftliche Geschäfte multinationaler Korporationen gesteigert.
Die Vernichtung unserer staatlichen Fabriken, die pharmazeutische
Erzeugnisse zu erheblich niedrigeren Preisen als ihre Konkurrenten im
Westen herstellen, bezweckt die Wertsteigerung der Investitionen der
westlichen pharmazeutischen Gesellschaften. Parenti sei gedankt für
seine niedergeschriebenen Worte, dass jedes serbische Fernsehen oder
jeder serbische Rundfunksender, die von NATO-Bomben zerstört wurden
oder die Westeuropäer über ihre Vasallen in Serbien haben schließen
lassen, die ideologische und Kommunikationsdominierung des Kartells der
westlichen Medien verlängert. Den einzigen Ausweg sehe ich im Kampf
gegen die von den USA mit Hilfe der Regierungen der mächtigen Länder
Westeuropas durchgeführte nazistische Globalisierung der Welt. Meine
Waffe ist das Schreiben und meine Munition sind Tatsachen. Für mich ist
die Freiheit der Begriff aller Begriffe.

Wesley Clark fera-t-il demain
le contraire de ce qu’il a fait hier ?

Amérique latine, Yougoslavie, Chine
et quelques autres cibles…
 
MICHEL COLLON


Wesley Clark, un espoir face à ‘Bush bis’ ? Nous verrons plus loin
pourquoi certains milieux dirigeants aux USA envisagent de “changer de
cheval”. Mais, d’abord, pourquoi ne dit-on rien de son passé ? Oui, on
peut voter pour Wesley Clark, à condition d’oublier que...

AMERIQUE LATINE (96-97)

Installé à Panama pour commander l’ ”US Southern Command” c’est-à-dire
les opérations en Amérique latine, Clark fournit en grand nombre des
“conseillers” militaires et des mercenaires US à divers régimes
pratiquant la terreur. Durant cette période, les violations des droits
de l’homme connaissent une escalade impressionnante, par exemple en
Colombie : 2.400 assassinats politiques (sans compter les nombreuses
disparitions) commis par les groupes militaires et paramilitaires
armés, entraînés et aidés par Wesley Clark.
    Objectif : dans la lignée des agressions contre le Chili, Cuba et
tant d’autres, il s’agit de combattre avec sauvagerie les mouvements de
libération en Colombie, Pérou, Guatemala, Mexique et Bolivie. Toujours
pour maintenir la mainmise économique des multinationales US sur
l’Amérique Latine. Que ces guerres se soient déroulées plutôt loin des
caméras, ne diminue pas la responsabilité de Clark.

YOUGOSLAVIE (1999) :

La guerre contre la Yougoslavie ? Certains y voient une opération
humanitaire dont les buts réels correspondaient aux buts proclamés.
Pour d’autres, au contraire, ce fut une opération hypocrite visant à
faire main basse sur les routes balkaniques du pétrole et sur les
richesses du pays en éliminant l’autogestion et les acquis sociaux du
“socialisme à la yougoslave”.  Il semble que Clark lui-même ait répondu
à cette question en tirant le bilan suivant, à la fin de son mandat :
“Les adversaires potentiels devraient reconnaître que les nations
occidentales sont pleinement capables militairement, diplomatiquement
et industriellement d’opérations de combat de haute intensité incluant
l’utilisation de forces terrestres, quand leurs intérêts vitaux sont
impliqués, et même quand des intérêts moins vitaux sont impliqués.”
Plus aucune mention des prétextes humanitaires abondamment invoqués
avant et pendant la guerre. (Interview IHT, 3 mai 2000)
    Quoi qu’il en soit, les crimes commis durant cette guerre par
l’Otan, sous le commandement de Wesley Clark, sont indéniables. Même
s’ils ne seront jamais jugés parce que la Justice internationale
n’existe pas contre les puissants.

Quels crimes ? S’il a atteint un nombre ridicule de chars yougoslaves,
Clark a bombardé un bâtiment de la TV (16 journalistes et techniciens
tués), des usines, des complexes pétrochimlques (d’où explosion de
cancers et autres maladies) des infrastructures civiles (centrales
électriques), un convoi de réfugiés albanais qui retournait au Kosovo
(70 victimes), un train de voyageurs... Et, last but not least,
l’ambassade chinoise (3 victimes) à titre “d’avertissement” car Pékin
soutenait l’indépendance de la Yougoslavie. Et l’usage de “bombes à
fragmentation”, meurtrières à long terme pour les enfants. Et celui des
obus à uranium dit “appauvri”, polluant la région à très long terme. Le
capitaine espagnol Martin de la Hoz a protesté ouvertement contre le
bombardement délibéré d’objectifs civils (Articulo 20, Madrid, 14 juin
99).

Loin d’être un simple “soldat obéissant”, Clark est décrit par tous
comme le “super-faucon” qui voulait notamment bombarder tous les ponts
de Belgrade pour intimider la population. Cela se voit aussi à son
attitude juste après la guerre : lorsque des troupes russes font
mouvement vers Pristina pour essayer de protéger les minorités serbes,
Wesley Clark, dans une colère monstre, exige que le général britannique
Jackson bloque l’aéroport de Pristina pour empêcher les Russes
d’atterrir. Réponse de Jackson : “Sir, je ne vais pas déclencher la
IIIème Guerre mondiale pour vous!”. Par la suite, Clark aidera les
milices terroristes de l’UCK à échapper à la démilitarisation pourtant
prévue par la résolution de l’ONU. Aujourd’hui, encore ces milices
maffieuses font régner la terreur parmi toutes les communautés
nationales et aussi une grande partie de la population albanaise.

IRAK (2003) :

Aujourd’hui que Bush s’empêtre face à la résistance du peuple irakien,
Wesley Clark fanfaronne : “Je l’avais bien dit”. Et, par électoralisme,
il cherche même à se donner une image “anti-guerre”. Mais que
déclarait-il avant la guerre ? “Je suis catégoriquement certain que
Saddam possède des armes de destruction massive” (CNN, 18 janvier 01).
   Et qu’écrivait-il exactement le 10 avril dernier ? Eh bien, il
saluait l’agression contre l’Irak, motivée selon lui par “de fortes
convictions, Bush et Blair peuvent être fiers de leur détermination.”
Jugeant que “rien ne pouvait être plus émouvant” que la “libération” de
Bagdad et qu’il fallait se dépêcher de “compléter cette grande
victoire”. Il applaudissait ausi le général Tommy Franks : un criminel
de guerre coupable d’avoir ordonné ou couvert des bombardement sur des
civils, des attaques contre des hôpitaux et des ambulances, contre des
journalistes...
    Et l’ “homme de paix” Clark annonçait que “l’opération en Irak
servira aussi comme point de départ (...) même d’actions militaires
contre des pays qui ont soutenu le terrorisme et ont déployé des armes
de destruction massive”. Une tribune que Bush aurait pratiquement pu
signer (publiée dans le Times de Londres).

ET DEMAIN LA CHINE ET ... ?

Pourquoi Clark grimpe-t-il ? Parce que les échecs de la méthode Bush
commencent à inquiéter une partie des milieux dirigeants aux
Etats-Unis. Ils craignent qu’en se mettant tous les alliés à dos, il
devienne de plus en plus difficile et coûteux de mener les diverses
guerres d’agression en préparation. En fait, les divers courants de la
bourgeoisie US sont bien d’accord sur un plan de recolonisation totale
du monde pour sauver les multinationales US de la crise. Mais ces
fractions divergent parfois sur les méthodes : En partageant un peu le
butin avec les alliés européens ou pas ? En respectant ou non un
semblant de légalité internationale ?
    Si Bush venait à être trop discrédité par les résistances, par ses
mensonges, par les scandales, et par la faillite de sa politique
économique, alors il faudrait un homme de rechange pour mener la même
politique mais plus habilement.
    L’épisode Clark montre que la superpuissance US a aussi ses
faiblesses. C’est à cause de la résistance dans le monde que les
milieux dirigeants des Etats-Unis sont dans l’embarras. En même temps,
l’affaire montre aussi que les “solutions” de ce système consistent à
remplacer un criminel de guerre par un autre.

Tous ses précédents états de service le prouvent : Clark serait lui
aussi l’homme des multinationales US et de leurs dangereux projets. En
sachant que la Chine est de plus en plus indiquée comme la cible
majeure des USA vers l’horizon 2015, il est intéressant de rappeler une
récente interview passée inaperçue. Wesley Clark, interrogé sur Saddam,
répond que les USA feraient mieux de s’intéresser à la Chine : “Durant
la Révolution culturelle, il y avait le cannibalisme en Chine” (sic).
Et les gens qui ont écrasé les étudiants à Tienanmen, sont toujours au
pouvoir.” ( Magazine Fortune, cité dans
http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2003/9/21/102656.shtml)

Le général Jackson n’avait semble-t-il pas tort en affirmant que Wesley
Clark, c’était la voie vers la IIIème Guerre mondiale... La voie
progressiste ne consiste pas à choisir, en désespoir de cause, un
requin paraissant moins dangereux que celui au pouvoir. La voie
progressiste ne saurait être chose que l’élimination du système des
requins.

RUSKI DRUSTVENI KOMITET ZA ODBRANU
SLOBODANA MILOSEVICA

Moskva, 18. septembra 2003.

S A O P S T E N J E

Medjunarodni tribunal za bivsu Jugoslaviju u Hagu je doneo odluku da
odobri bivsem predsedniku Savezne Republike Jugoslavije, politickom
zatvoreniku Slobodanu Milosevicu, samo tri meseca za pripremu
odbrane.To je sramna, skandalozna odluka. To je direktno krsenje
medjunarodnog prava, koje propisuje ravnopravnost strana u sudskom
procesu.

Kao sto je poznato, tuzioci tribunala su prikupljali materijale za
optuzbu vise od cetiri godine.U tom poslu ucestvovale su stotine
cinovnika tribunala. A od Milosevica ocekuju da se pripremi za odbranu
za samo tri meseca. Pritom on mora da radi na prikupljanju dokumenata i
da komunicira sa svedocima, nalazeci se u zatvorskoj celiji. To je
potpuni apsurd.

Posebni cinizam ponasanja tribunala je u tome sto je Slobodanu
Milosevicu i dalje uskracena kvalifikovana medicinska pomoc, iako
stanje njegovog zdravlja izaziva najozbiljniju zabrinutost.

Sve se to desava istovremeno sa prakticno potpunom izolacijom
predsednika Milosevica od njegovih politickih saveznika u Jugoslaviji i
od clanova njegove porodice. Kao sto je poznato, progon clanova
porodice Slobodana Milosevica pod laznim izgovorima, lisio je njegovu
zenu i sina mogucnosti da ga posecuju u zatvoru.

Odlucno osudjujemo nastavak politickog obracuna sa srpskim liderom i
progon clanova njegove porodice.

Zahtevamo prekid procesa na dve godine kako bi Slobodan Milosevic mogao
da se na adekvatan nacin pripremi za odbranu.

Insistiramo na njegovom oslobodjenju iz pritvora radi zdravstvenog
oporavka i efektivne pripreme za odbranu.

U.S. committee to defend Milosevic

By John Catalinotto

As the so-called trial of the former Yugoslav president in NATO's court
in The Hague, Netherlands, nears its midpoint, Slobodan Milosevic
received some new support. On Sept. 13 some two dozen writers, human
rights and anti-war activists, academics and attorneys joined to form
the U.S. section of the Inter national Committee to Defend Slobodan
Milosevic (ICDSM).

Most of the members distinguished themselves during the time of NATO's
war on Yugoslavia by publicly opposing U.S. and NATO intervention
against the former socialist country in the Balkans. Dr. Michael
Parenti of the University of California-Berkeley has agreed to chair
the U.S. section of the ICDSM.

This group in its founding statement said that "the U.S. National
Committee [of the ICDSM] rejects the legitimacy of the trial of
Milosevic and we view this trial as an act of political warfare against
the people of Serbia and against the basic democratic rights of the
whole of humanity that cannot be allowed to succeed."

The committee demands an adjournment of the trial to allow Milosevic to
receive proper medical care and to have up to two years to prepare his
defense. Milosevic has been defending himself during the entire
prosecution case, which has now lasted over 18 months. It also demands
an end to the forced isolation of the former Yugoslav president from
his family.

The U.S. and NATO leaders originally planned to make Milosevic's case a
show trial. His capable political and legal defense, waged almost
single-handedly against the court's apparatus, has exposed NATO
aggression and the weakness of the prosecution case.

Many of the U.S. committee members believe that the current questioning
of U.S. foreign policy following the disastrous aggression in Iraq
gives a new opportunity to re-raise all the questions raised by the
earlier U.S. aggression in the Balkans.

Dear friends,

President Milosevic is in a life-threatening situation.

He suffers from malignant hypertension and his heart is damaged. He is
in permanent risk of a heart attack or a brain-stroke.

His health and ability to stand the second half of the process without
a serious risk cannot be recuperated in prison conditions.

He is deprived of health-care and of conditions to prepare his case.

The outrageous decision of the tribunal to give him only three months
to prepare his case in prison and only six weeks to submit the complete
list of his witnesses, together with the summaries of their statements
and with the list of evidence he intends to introduce with them – only
to be reviewed and eventually approved by the tribunal, definitively
proves that the tribunal wants to silence the truth by depriving
President Milosevic of minimum conditions to prepare his case and by
increasing the threat to his life with an impossible task.

President Milosevic needs two years in freedom.

Please address your governments (the tribunal is formally a part of UN
system), members of UN Security Council (the tribunal is formally a
subsidiary organ of the Security Council), UN Secretary General, Office
of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the World Health
Organization, the International Committee of the Red Cross and the
tribunal itself.

Protest against the crime and the injustices. Demand two years of
freedom for President Milosevic.

Vladimir Krsljanin, Sloboda/ICDSM

MESSAGGIO DEL CAPO DEI TERRORISTI AL SIGNOR "DUE DI PICCHE" (1)

Messaggio di Bush al presidente Marovic

Contro il terrorismo: Una lotta per gli alti principi e per cittadini
liberi dalla paura
 
Secondo informazioni del Gabinetto del presidente jugoslavo -pardon,
serbo-montenegrino -, il presidente degli USA, G.W.Bush, a due anni
dagli attentati a New York e Washington, ha inviato un messaggio
personale al presidente dello Stato federale, Marovic.
"La nostra lotta per liberare il mondo dal terrorismo continua, ed in
essa ricordiamo i nostri concittadini, miei e Suoi, che sono morti l'11
settembre 2001", scrive nel messaggio Bush a Marovic. "I miei
concittadini ed io", aggiunge al messaggio, "ci uniamo nel ricordo dei
Vs cittadini che hanno perso la vita in questi attacchi" [sic!]
Nella lettera a Marovic, il presidente USA ha sottolineato che lo scopo
dei terroristi era di difondere la paura e il caos, uccidendo ovunque
nel mondo. "Hanno attaccato la civilizzazione perché hanno rifiutato i
pacifici e razionali metodi per risolvere i problemi. Essi
hanno respinto il diritto e gli interessi degli altri,
dimostrando l'odio profondo verso i valori del mondo civile - la
libertà, la reciproca tolleranza della quale abbiamo bisogno tutti per
vivere dignitosamente", scrive nel messaggio il presidente Bush.

(Fonte: Tanjug, 20 settembre) 
 
NOTE:
(1) Il capo dei terroristi e' il Presidente del paese piu' potente del
mondo, che, dopo avere appoggiato i mujaheddin di Al Qaeda in Bosnia,
appoggia tuttora il terrorismo secessionista in Kosmet. Il signor due
di picche e' il Presidente di uno Stato virtuale, che ha sostituito la
Jugoslavia sovrana ed e' destinato a scomparire entro il 2006 con la
secessione del Kosmet e del Montenegro, secondo i piani USA.

Retter, Propheten, Sehide

Bill Clinton wurde in Srebrenica begeistert empfangen. US-amerikanische
Kritiker kritisieren die Bosnienpolitik des ex-Präsidenten als
pro-fundamentalistisch


Ein Verbrecher kehrt zwanghaft immer an den Tatort zurück, lautet eine
kriminalistische Faustregel. Doch kaum jemand würde diese Regel auf
Bill Clinton und seinen jüngsten Besuch im bosnischen Srebrenica
anwenden. Für die Massenexekutionen muslimischer Bewohner dieser Stadt
im Juli 1995 werden nämlich Radovan Karadzic und Ratko Mladic,
Präsident und Generalstabschef der bosnischen Serben während des
Bürgerkrieges, verantwortlich gemacht. „Sie wollten Macht durch
Völkermord“, sagte der frühere US-Präsident, als er am Samstag unter
dem Beifall der 30.000 Besucher eine Gedenkstätte für die damaligen
Opfer einweihte. (1)

Clinton ist unter den Muslimen sehr beliebt, weil er unmittelbar nach
der Eroberung Srebrenicas gegen Widerstände auch im NATO-Bündnis eine
Intervention in Bosnien durchgesetzt hat. Im August 1995 bombardierten
US-Kampfflugzeuge zwei Wochen lang serbische Stellungen, mit ihrer
Unterstützung konnten muslimisch-kroatische Bodentruppen fast ein
Fünftel des Landes erobern. Diese territoriale Verteilung wurde dann im
Waffenstillstandsabkommen von Dayton im November 1995 bestätigt. „Die
Familien der Überlebenden sind der Ansicht, daß Clinton unter allen
Führern der Welt das größte moralische Recht (zur Einweihung der
Gedenkstätte) hat“, sagte Amor Masovic, Leiter der muslimischen
Vermißtenkommission. (2)

Doch es gibt auch Zeugen, die Clinton dieses Recht streitig machen. Der
erste ist Hakija Meholjic, vor dem Fall der Stadt Vorsitzender der
Sozialdemokratischen Partei. Er nahm an einem Treffen der
bosnisch-muslimischen Staatsführung im September 1993 in Sarajevo teil,
auf dem der damalige Präsident Alija Izetbegovic gesagt habe: „Wißt
ihr, Clinton bot mir im April 1993 ... an, daß die Streitkräfte der
Tschetniks (Schimpfwort für Serben) Srebrenica erobern, ein Massaker
von 5000 Muslimen begehen, und dann könne eine militärische
Intervention geschehen.“ Demnach hat Clinton über zwei Jahre vorher
genau das vorgeschlagen, was dann im Sommer 1995 passiert ist. Ein
Hellseher? Ein Stratege? Oder sind die Zitate erfunden, etwa von
serbischen Nationalisten? Das kann eigentlich nicht sein, denn der
Zeuge ist selbst Muslim und sein Interview erschien am 22. Juni 1996 in
der muslimischen Zeitung "Dani" aus Sarajevo.

Eine ähnliche Aussage hat UN-Generalsekretär Kofi Annan zu Protokoll
gegeben. In einem Bericht vom 15. November 1999 erwähnte er „ein
internes Treffen der bosniakisch (-muslimischen) Führung vom 28. und
29. November 1993 ... , auf dem Präsident Izetbegovic erklärt habe, ...
daß eine Intervention der NATO in Bosnien-Herzegowina möglich sei, aber
nur stattfinden könne, wenn die Serben gewaltsam in Srebrenica
eindrängen und dort mindestens 5000 Personen massakrierten“. So steht
es im Bericht der Untersuchungskommission der französischen
Nationalversammlung, der im November 2001 vorgelegt wurde.

Der westlichen Darstellung, wonach die Serben für die Opfer in
Srebrenica allein verantwortlich seien, widerspricht auch eine
Presseerklärung der International Strategic Studies Association (ISSA)
anläßlich der Clinton-Visite in Bosnien (www.StrategicStudies.org). (3)
Der konservative Think Tank, der Reagans Verteidigungsministers
Alexander Haig gleich zwei Mal für seine Verdienstete auszeichnete,
hält die gängige Zahl von 7.000 bis 8.000 ermordeten Muslimen für „weit
übertrieben und durch Beweise nicht gestützt“. So seien „ungefähr 3.000
Namen, die auf der Liste der Opfer standen ..., 1996 wieder als Wähler
bei den Kommunalwahlen 1996 aufgetaucht“. Um so schlimmer, so die ISSA
weiter, daß Paddy Ashdown, internationaler Protektor für
Bosnien-Herzegowina, und sein Stellvertreter Donald Hays, im Hauptberuf
US-Botschafter in Sarajevo, die „gewählten Vertreter der bosnischen
Serben zwingen wollen, ein betrügerisches Dokument zu unterzeichnen,
mit dem sie die offizielle Version der Ereignisse in Srebrenica
akzeptieren“.

Die konservativen Sicherheitsexperten weisen darauf hin, daß die
Clinton-Regierung mehrere tausend Gotteskrieger aus Iran, Afghanistan
und Nahost in Bosnien eingeschleust hat. Daß durch deren ständige
Angriffe aus der angeblich demilitarisierten Schutzzone Srebrenica die
Serben im Sommer 1995 zum Zuschlagen provoziert worden seien, legt auch
der Untersuchungsbericht der niederländischen Armee vom April 2002 nahe
(www.srebrenica.nl). Die ISSA berichtet weiter, daß man beim Studium
von Clintons Bosnienpolitik auch auf den Namen von Osama bin Laden
stößt. Der Terrorist hat 1993 von der muslimischen Regierung in
Sarajevo einen bosnischen Paß bekommen.

Die ISSA befürchtet, daß die von Clinton eröffnete Gedenkstätte das
Bündnis mit dem Fundamentalismus fortsetzen und „ein Reliqienschrein
für radikale Islamisten in Europa“ werden könnte. Die Gestaltung des
Friedhofes läßt diese Befürchtung realistisch erscheinen. Die damit
beauftragte Steinmetzfirma will nach eigenen Angaben für die knapp
tausend Gräber „die typischen Grabsteine für Sehide“ anfertigen. (4)
Sehide sind Märtyrer, die im Heiligen Krieg gefallen sind.

PRESS RELEASE
21/9/2003

Today in Rome, during a meeting organized by personalities already
belonging as individuals to the International Committee for the Defense
of Slobodan Milosevic (ICDSM), the Italian Section of the ICDSM has

In this way, the Italian Section becomes part of the international
organization which already counts similar national branches in several
countries, among which, apart from Serbia, Russia, Germany, Great
Britain and the USA.

The Italian Section of ICDSM is represented at the international level
by two prominent figures: Aldo Bernardini, a well known jurist,
professor of international law at the Teramo University and ex dean,
and Fulvio Grimaldi, very popular journalist, expert of environmental
and international issues, who stands at the very front of the struggle
about information and media on the contemporary wars.

Miriam Pellegrini Ferri and Spartaco Ferri, partisans which have been

event of the creation of the Italian Section of ICDSM, to be
broadcasted by the local television Teleambiente.

Comunicato della Sezione Italiana dell´ICDSM

La recente decisione di considerare il gruppo di "Emperor´s Clothes"
(EC) non più parte del Comitato Internazionale per la Difesa di
Slobodan Milosevic, condivisa dalle maggiori sezioni nazionali e dal
suo coordinamento a Belgrado, ci è apparsa inevitabile. Non possiamo
non condividerla, in quanto EC ha attaccato e diffamato esponenti e
dirigenti dell´ICDSM, in pubblico e pretendendo di parlare a nome del
Presidente Milosevic.

Il presidente Milosevic è stato messo al corrente della vicenda.
Crediamo opportuno che ogni servizio organizzativo dell´ICDSM, a
partire dal conto bancario, faccia base dove si trovano le realtà più
attive del comitato, riconosciute come tali da Belgrado, quelle che
possono farsi garanti di una gestione trasparente, dunque in Europa.
Questo anche alla luce di problemi sorti sulla gestione dei fondi
raccolti da EC.  

Ci rammarichiamo delle recenti iniziative disgregatrici e sabotatrici
dell´unità e della correttezza dell´ICDSM messe in atto da EC, che,
dopo aver reso un importante servizio a tutti attraverso la diffusione
di documentazione utile, ha aggiunto alla recenti diffamazioni e
menzogne sul ruolo dell´ICDSM e su suoi esponenti di punta, come il
presidente Ramsey Clark, una campagna sulla problematica mediorientale
di netta ispirazione sionista estremista; posizioni che contraddicono
nettamente quella che dovrebbe essere la linea antirazzista ed
anticolonialista dell´ICDSM, come esplicitata in tutta la sua vita dal
Presidente Milosevic, ultimamente nelle aule dell'illegale tribunale
dell´Aja.

Questo estremismo sionista di EC si è evidenziato non solo con
grossolane falsificazioni storiche e con una propaganda
giustificazionista in appoggio all´attuale governo israeliano, ma anche
con l´attacco a elementi dell´ICDSM, evidentemente ritenuti "colpevoli"
di essere coerentemente impegnati al fianco della resistenza del popolo
arabo-palestinese e degli altri popoli vittime di politiche
imperialiste e razziste.

Questa scelta di EC appare tutt´uno con l´omissione dall´analisi e
dalla documentazione di EC delle responsabilità specifiche dei governi
israeliani nello squartamento della Jugoslavia (si noti in particolare
l´attuale collaborazione politica e militare avviate con il regime
quisling e poliziesco della DOS). Questa politica è stata attivamente
sostenuta da settori del mondo ebraico che in questi anni hanno tentato
di costruire l´immagine del "nazismo serbo", rafforzando il tragico
stereotipo presente nelle sinistre e in parte del movimento pacifista,
a insulto della grande resistenza antifascista condotta dal popolo
serbo e della comune sofferenza di serbi, ebrei e antifascisti sotto
quel nazifascismo che ha poi ispirato i Tudjman, gli Izetbegovic e i
Thaci.

Essendo riuscito a neutralizzare il pertinace lavoro di
strumentalizzazione e mistificazione condotto da EC nei confronti del
Presidente Milosevic, è ora necessario che l´ICDSM resti vigile per
impedire l´accostamento a personaggi estranei alla cultura democratica
e che esprimono posizioni scioviniste, di qualsiasi segno esse siano.
La battaglia per la libertà del Presidente Milsoevic è tutt´uno con
quella per la libertà della Serbia e dei Balcani e non può essere
strumentalizzata ad altri fini, che ne contraddicono l´ispirazione di
fondo e oggettivamente minacciano di rovesciare l´assunto per il quale
l´ICDSM lotta.

Roma, 21 settembre

Sezione Italiana dell´ICDSM

Una lettera nel senso sopra esposto è stata indirizzata al Presidente
Milosevic a nome dei vicepresidenti dell´ICDSM e di altri esponenti
dell´ICDSM.

Statement by the Italian section of the ICDSM

The recent decision to consider the "Emperor´s Clothes" group (EC) no
longer a member of the ICDSM, shared by the major national ICDSM
sections including its coordinating committee in Belgrade, is
inevitable. We cannot but support it, since EC attacked and diffamated
members and leading figures of the ICDSM, in public and alledging to
speak in the name of President Milosevic.

President Milosevic has been informed of the matter. We believe that
every organisational function of the ICDSM, starting with the bank
account, should be based in Europe, where the most active structures of
the ICDSM are, and recognized as such by Belgrade for being those that
can assure a transparent management. This is necessary also in view of
problems which arose about the management of the funds collected by EC.

We deplore the recent activites of EC, which resulted in the disruption
and sabotage of the unity and correctness within the ICDSM. After
having provided useful and important information at the beginning, EC
lately added to the diffamation and lies on the role of ICDSM and its
leading figures, such as its Chairman Ramsey Clark, a campaign on the
Middle East conflict based on the position of Zionist extremism. Such
position contradicts totally what should be the antiracist and
anticolonialist line of the ICDSM, as embodied during his entire life
by President Milosevic, even recently in the course of the trial at the
"Tribunal" in The Hague.

This Zionist extremism expressed itself not only by means of gross
historical falsifications and a campaign of justification of the
present Israeli government, but as well through attacks on members of
the ICDSM that were evidently considered "guilty" of being coherently
committed to the resistance of the Palestinians, along with all other
peoples subject to imperialist and racist policies.

This choice by EC may be seen in connection with the omission, from
EC´s analysis and documentation, of Israel´s governments specific
responsibilities in the fragmentation of Yugoslavia (one only needs to
consider the present political and military cooperation with the
quisling and police government of DOS). This policy was actively
supported by sectors of the Jewish communities, which in the course of
the past years helped to build up the image of a "Serb nazism", so
strengthening the tragic stereotype accepted by part of the Left and
the peace movement. This also constitutes an insult to the Serbian
people´s great resistance against nazifascism, as well as to the
suffering inflicted on Serbs, Jews and all antifascists by that very
nazifascism which later inspired Tudjman, Izetbegovic and Thaci.

Having been able to neutralise the diffamatory and disruptive work
carried out by EC to the detriment of President Milosevic´s defence, it
is now necessary that the ICDSM remains vigilant in order to prevent
any link with people who are strangers to a democratic culture and
express chauvinistic positions, of whatever nature they may be. The
battle for President Milosevic´s freedom is one and the same battle for
the freedom of Serbia and the Balkans, and cannot be manipulated for
other purposes, which would contradict our basic inspiration as ICDSM
and could overturn the very objectives for which we struggle.

"TRIAL" SYNOPSIS: 12 SEPTEMBER 2003

www.slobodan-milosevic.org - September 12, 2003
Written by: Andy Wilcoxson

Robert J. Donia testified as an "expert witness" against President
Milosevic today. Dr. Donia has served as a consultant for the U.S.
Miliatry, and during the Bosnian war (which is what he was testifying
about) he worked as a financial advisor for Merrill Lynch. Maybe next
week the tribunal can get somebody from Bank of America to testify
about events in Croatia. In 1981 Dr. Donia wrote a book entitled
"Islam under the Double Eagle: The Muslims of Bosnia and Hercegovina,
1878-1914."

Dr. Donia has a history of testifying at the Hague Tribunal. He has
testified there 8 times, and always against Serbs and Croats -- never
against Muslims, in spite of the fact that the book he wrote was about
Muslims. However, as Mr. May pointed out, the Tribunal has yet to
prosecute a Muslim.

At any rate has spent so much time either testifying at the Hague
Tribunal, or consulting the Hague Tribunal that he has decided to
teach a class about the Hague Tribunal at the University of Michigan
entitled "Inside the Yugoslav War Crimes Tribunal."

The Croatian media claims that Dr. Donia set-up a foundation through
with he solicited money from Islamic countries, and then had the money
deposited into Bosnian (Muslim) government bank accounts. Dr. Donia
denied the accusations. He admitted that he had set-up a foundation,
but claimed that he was the only one who gave it any money and that he
only gave the money out to universities.

Call me crazy, but I don' t believe that somebody go to the trouble of
setting-up a foundation just to have themselves be the only donor. If
he wanted to give money to universities then why didn't he just write
them a check?

Dr. Donia compiled a report for the prosecution. He took the minutes
and the transcripts of the Republika Srpska parliament sessions, and
compiled a report from that material. The formula he employed to write
the report was to write a summary, a headline for the summary, and
then cite quotations from the transcripts and the minutes of the
parliament sessions in order to confirm his summary and headline.

In his report Dr. Donia took quotes out of their proper context, and
wrote headlines designed to mislead the reader. President Milosevic
spent a large portion of the day reading out full quotations, and then
demonstrating how the full quotation refuted the thesis that Dr. Donia
was trying to construct with his summaries and headlines.

The most important part of Dr. Donia's testimony dealt with the 30th
session of the RS Assembly. Dr. Donia claimed that President Milosevic
had advocated a "greater Serbia" policy when he traveled to Pale to
try and convince the RS Assembly to accept the Vance-Owen Plan.

Dr. Donia read part of President Milosevic's 2nd speech to the
parliament when the President spoke of the Vance-Owen plan being the
way for the Serbian people to reach their "ultimate goal."

Dr. Donia said that the goal was left undefined in the speech. Based
on this Dr. Donia concluded that President Milosevic must be speaking
of "greater Serbia," when he spoke of reaching the undefined goal.
Impeccable logic indeed.

Dr. Donia attempted to claim that this speech of Milosevic's was held
in a secret closed session of the RS Assembly. However, President
Milosevic pointed-out that the session was public, and he proved it by
producing a newspaper that at the time the speech was given, printed
the full text of the allegedly secret speech.

Moreover, it is untrue when Donia claims that the "goal" Milosevic
spoke of was undefined. President Milosevic gave two speeches that
day, and in the first speech he was very explicit. He quite clearly
defined the goal of the Serbian people as being: peace, freedom, and
equality. And looking at President Milosevic's other public statements
form the time it is clear that his number one priority was to help
bring an end to the bloodshed. It is clear from his statements that
peace, freedom and equality were always defined by him as the goal of
the Serbian people.

In case you doubt what I am saying about Milosevic's position at the
time of the Vance-Owen Plan, please read the interviews at the
following two web addresses:
http://www.slobodan-milosevic.org/news/milosevic050293.htm
http://www.slobodan-milosevic.org/news/milosevic051493.htm

President Milosevic has demonstrated with both his words and his
actions a rejection of the whole "greater Serbia" idea. (See:
http://www.slobodan-milosevic.org/news/milosevic080791.htm ) Dr.
Donia's testimony is pure and utter nonsense.

President Milosevic usually has a good "poker face." He usually shows
no emotion when listening to prosecution witnesses testifying, but
when Donia started saying that by speaking of an "undefined goal" that
Milosevic must be speaking of "greater Serbia;" President Milosevic
could be seen having a good chuckle at this.

President Milosevic has 45 more minutes to complete his
cross-examination of this so-called "expert." The witness will return
at an as-yet undetermined date to complete his testimony.

"TRIAL" SYNOPSIS: SEPTEMBER 15, 2003

www.slobodan-milosevic.org - September 15, 2003
Written by: Andy Wilcoxson

A secret witness testifying under the pseudonym of "B-179" testified
against President Milosevic today. B-179 allegedly held a certain
position in the Association of Emigrant Serbs also known as "Matica"
(Matica is the Serbian word for association). The Matica is one of the
oldest and most respected Serbian charities, it is financed by the
Serbian Government and by private donations. It is well known that the
Matica delivered humanitarian aid to war ravaged areas in Bosnia and
Croatia.

B-179's alleged position in the Matica was kept secret from the
public, but President Milosevic had contacted the Matica, and asked if
the position that the witness claimed to hold even exsisted. The Matica
responded and said that the position in question had ever existed.

Another secret that was kept from the public was the nature some court
proceedings that were taken against the witness. Apparently this
witness must be some kind of criminal, maybe he is a drug dealer, or a
rapist, or possibly a robber, who knows? All that is known is that
there were some kind of proceedings.

What is known about this witness is that he joined the SPO in 1998.
The witness claimed that his motivation for joining the SPO was his
desire to overthrow Milosevic. So right off the top we can see that
here is a witness who has a political motivation for telling lies
against President Milosevic.

B-179 claimed that the Matica transported arms from Serbia to the
battle front in Bosnia and Croatia. He claimed that arms and munitions
would be taken from a military warehouse in Bubanj Potok and shipped to
various locations in both the RS and the RSK.

B-179 arrived at the tribunal with a number of documents. Of course
none of them proved any of what he was saying.

As far as weapons were concerned, B-179 had receipts issued by the
Serbian Ministry of Defense proving that the Matica was issued
approximately 15 light weapons (rifles, pistols, etc...). The document
was very explicit in saying that these weapons were issued so that the
Matica could defend itself while shipping humanitarian supplies
throughout the war zone.

The only other document that he had regarding weapons didn't prove
anything. The document dealt with an alleged shipment of some 82mm
shells. The only signature on the document was the witness's signature.
Nobody from either the government of Serbia, or the Government of
Yugoslavia signed any part of the document.

The only other documents that the witness had were normal things that
anybody delivering humanitarian supplies would have: fuel receipts,
vehicle registration papers, Red Cross documents, etc...

The witness explained that he used to have more proof, and that he
used to have some other documents, but that some people came to his
house and took those things away. He said that the VJ would also have
such documents, but that they burned the documents, which is why they
don't have any such documents now.

The witness claims to have his knowledge about the scope of the
alleged arms shipments and the alleged burning of documents on the
basis of what he heard while eavesdropping on other people's
conversations.

Not only did this guy claim that Milosevic was arming the Serbs, but
he claimed that Milosevic was arming the Croats too!

B-179 professed to know all about Milosevic. In his statement, B-179
said that Milosevic would start his day, everyday, by going to the
headquarters of the Serbian state security and planning out where to
ship weapons to. However, in his testimony he said that Jovica
Stanisic and Milan Prodinic would always talk about "informing 'dad'
(meaning Milosevic)" about their arms trafficking activities.
Therefore the natural question is, why should they inform "dad" if
"dad" was supposed to be taking part in the planning of these same
activities on a daily basis? Wouldn't he already know?

B-179 completely failed to prove that he received any weapons from the
JNA, the VJ, or the Serbian MUP (except for those 15 light weapons
specified for the defense of Matica humanitarian aid shipments). B-179
could not produce a single document to prove that he had received even
one weapon. B-179 also could not produce even a single document to
prove that he had delivered any weapons. Not only could he not produce
any documents, but he couldn't name even one recipient of any of the
alleged weapons.

The only useful thing about B-179's testimony was his admission that
the Matica gave humanitarian assistance to all of the wars' victims
regardless of their ethnicity. That the government of Serbia was
actually financing shipments of humanitarian aid to Croats and Muslims
as well as Serbs.

After B-179 withdrew, Baron Arnot Van Linden took the witness stand.
Van Linden was a reporter for the British Sky news service. The
prosecutor readout Van Linden's 92-bis summary, and then the session
ended for the day.

Van Linden is apparently going to testify about the so-called "siege
of Sarajevo." One interesting admission that was made was the
admission that members of the Army of Bosnia-Herzegovina would not
always wear uniforms. The admission was made in an effort to
demonstrate how poor the Muslims must have been since they didn't even
always wear uniforms.

For the Muslims to be conducting war operations without uniforms is a
violation of the Geneva Conventions. Simply put, by engaging in war
operations without uniforms they made it nearly impossible for the army
they were fighting against to distinguish between them and the
civilians. Therefore, they endangered precisely their own civilians,
because they made it hard for the opposing army to tell the difference
between a civilian and an enemy soldier.

It may be interesting to read the following in view of Van Linden's
testimony. It is Slobodan Milosevic's interview with Van Linden that
was taken back in 1991:

“TRIAL” SYNOPSIS SEPTEMBER 16, 2003

www.slobodan-milosevic.org - September 16, 2003
Written by: Andy Wilcoxson

Baron Arnot Van Linden, a correspondent for the British “Sky”
television network testified against President Milosevic today
regarding the so-called “siege of Sarajevo.”

The one thing that should be remembered about the shelling of Sarajevo
is the same thing that should be remembered about the war in Bosnia as
a whole. The Muslims instigated the fighting – they were the
aggressors, not the victims.

On May 27, 1992 the Muslim army (so-called ABiH) attacked JNA soldiers
attempting to withdraw from Sarajevo. The Muslims fired on unarmed
columns of JNA soldiers as they were withdrawing from the Jusuf
Dzonlic barracks and the Marshal Tito barracks in Sarajevo.

It was only after the Muslims launched their barbaric attack on the
JNA that retribution was visited upon them. It should also be
mentioned in connection with the retaliation that Radovan Karadzic and
the VRS repeatedly offered safe passage for any civilians who wished
to flee the Sarajevo war zone, but that Izetbegovic decided that he
would rather keep the population of Sarajevo as hostages than allow
them to leave the war zone.  

Van Linden reluctantly confirmed that not a single shell fell on
Sarajevo until after the Muslim's barbaric attack on the barracks of
the JNA. Now that the sequence of events is clear we can speak about
the rest of Van Linden’s testimony.

The “evidence” that he bought with him to court was nothing but his
own edited news stories that he had filed with Sky News. He did not
bring any raw footage, only the edited pieces that he produced.

Van Linden testified about an interview that he conducted with General
Ratko Mladic. A tape was played of this so-called “interview.” The
so-called “interview” consisted of a couple of brief sound-bytes from
Gen. Mladic. The rest of the so-called “interview” was Van Linden
himself paraphrasing what Gen. Mladic had allegedly told him.

The question here is why did Van Linden have to paraphrase what Mladic
told him? A camera crew was filming the interview, so why didn’t Van
Linden simply play the unedited videotape of the interview? The answer
is simple, what Mladic said was not convenient for the agenda that Van
Linden was trying to advance, therefore Van Linden rephrased what
Mladic said, in order to advance his anti-Serb propaganda campaign.

Van Linden also did an interview with President Milosevic in 1991. Van
Linden didn’t have any tape of this interview either, nor did he have
a transcript of it, but he did paraphrase it for the “court.” He said
that on the basis of the interview, he concluded that Milosevic wanted
to export the war in Croatia out to Bosnia and Kosovo.

Well, even if Van Linden didn’t have it, we have a transcript of the
interview, and you can read it at:
http://www.slobodan-milosevic.org/news/milosevic080791.htm

Read the interview and judge for yourself whether or not any sane
person could conclude from it that President Milosevic wanted to
export war anywhere.

Why didn’t Van Linden play a tape of the Milosevic interview? Simple,
if he played the tape then it would speak for itself, and he wouldn’t
have had any opportunity to tell lies about the contents of it.  

Van Linden claimed to have interviewed Radovan Karadzic too. Again,
even though video tapes were allegedly made, none were played. And
again we have Baron Van Linden putting words into Dr. Karadzic’s
mouth. Van Linden made Karadzic out to be some sort of genocidal
bigot. Saying that Karadzic called the Muslims by racial slurs, and
that he wanted ethnic purity, and that he even wanted to build a sort
of Berlin Wall through Sarajevo.

Van Linden claimed that the embargo that Serbia placed on the
Republika Srpska after the rejection of the Vance-Owen Plan was
regularly violated. He claimed that he saw trucks crossing the border
and violating the embargo a number of times. Again, since he was there
with a camera crew, why didn’t he make a video tape of this? And for
that matter, how come the international observers that were monitoring
the border didn’t see any of this?

Van Linden also claimed to interview Captain Dragan, and again this TV
newsman had no tape, but he did paraphrase what he says that Captain
Dragan told him. According to Van Linden Captain Dragan said that
Milosevic was controlling the Serbs in Croatia. Milosevic asserted
that Captain Dragan had never said that and Van Linden stammered that
Captain Dragan was not referring to operational control or anything
like that, but that he was saying it in a metaphorical sense or
something.

An example of Van Linden’s “stellar reporting” came in one of the
tapes that he did play. The tape showed a number of graves that were
decorated with Orthodox crosses, but Van Linden in his voice-over,
called them “Bosnian graves.” The graves were obviously Serb graves,
President Milosevic confronted Van Linden with this, and Van Linden
admitted that they were Serbs, but since they were Serbs from Bosnia
he called them “Bosnians.”

It is common knowledge that the Serbs in Bosnia never call themselves
“Bosnians.” Only the Muslims call themselves “Bosnians,” which is
nothing more than a cynical effort by them to create the illusion that
they have some sort of claim to Bosnia, over that of the Serbs and
Croats. Even Van Linden during his testimony was referring to Muslims
as “Bosnians” and Serbs as “Serbs.”

Van Linden was clearly trying to mislead his viewers into thinking
that they were looking at Muslim graves, and not Serb graves. After
all, Serb graves would confuse everything that the Baron was saying.
Van Linden says that he never saw the Muslims doing any shooting,
obviously these Serb graves would seem to conflict with that.
Therefore it was necessary for the lying Baron to conceal the fact
that these were Serb graves.

Van Linden’s tapes also showed footage of the unarmed JNA soldiers who
were massacred by the Muslims while attempting to withdraw from
Sarajevo, but of course Van Linden neglected to mention that the
Muslims killed them, or that those JNA soldiers were shot while they
were unarmed and withdrawing from the city.

Van Linden’s testimony exposed the nature of television news coverage.
In one instance a video was shown. Van Linden was talking about Bosnia
in his voice-over commentary, but the video on the tape was from
Kosovo and had nothing to do with what Van Linden was saying.

Van Linden, upon seeing that the Albanian writing on the posters on
the footage, came up with the excuse that he didn’t edit the video
that somebody else did. When he was asked about other video sequences
he explained that he was using other people’s footage, and so he
wasn’t always sure what exactly was being shown on his video tapes.

TV news is ideal for propaganda. As Van Linden’s testimony
demonstrated the video you are looking at doesn’t necessarily have
anything to do with what the reporter is saying. At the beginning of
the proceedings there were technical problems at the tribunal and the
video could not be seen clearly, and as “Judge” May complained, not
being able to see the video caused “the evidence lose all of its
impact.”

After Van Linden was concluded President Milosevic took sick, and the
proceedings were adjourned early.

President Milosevic complained of fatigue, and high blood pressure
which he says is brought on by the excessive pace of the so-called
“trial.”

Again the so-called “judges” attempted to foist some sort of legal
assistance onto President Milosevic and again he rejected it.

It is not yet known whether the so-called “trial” will be conducted
tomorrow or not.

OPTUZUJEM - ILI PRICA O TRI SAMARA I EVROPSKOM GREHU

http://www.artel.co.yu/sr/izbor/jugoslavija/2003-09-22.html

Spomenka Deretic, novinar
Beograd 17. septembar 2003. godine

Pet dana uoci mog dvadeset osmog rodjendana vracala sam se sa posla u
radio Beogradu. Gotovo pred samim stanom, na uglu Zmaj Jovine i
Gospodar Javanove ulice, u mirnom kraju, ali u centru Beograda,
ugledala sam muskarca kako tuce cigancicu. Srbi vole da pomazu
nemocnima, pa sam i ja pocela da guram mladica dalje od crnpuraste
devojcice. Mladic se okrenuo i osamario me. Nikada necu zaboraviti prvi
samar koji sam dobila, ni milicionera koji je odveo siledziju ni
uplakanu devojcicu.
Drugi samar sam dobila pod DOS-ovom vlascu kada sam se vracala sa
protesta zbog dolaska Havijera Solane u Beograd. Osamario me je clan
"pokreta otpora", organizacije koju je osmislila i u Madjarskoj obucila
Americka obavestajna sluzba kako da pomognu u rusenju vlade Slobodana
Milosevica i jugoslovenske drzave. Oduvek su mi bile odvratne
organizacije koje neko iz inostranstva finansira da bi rusile vlast u
sopstvenim drzavama. Organizacija Otpor mi je posebno odvratna zato sto
je finansira CIA, zato sto su njeni clanovi podmukli i kukavice, i zato
sto im je simbol stisnuta pesnica sto me neodoljivo potseca na
fasisticki znak. Mladica koji me je osamario zato sto sam demonstrirala
protiv Havijera Solane, priznajem, vrhom cipele udarila sam u prepone.
On je pobegao jaucuci. Njegov me samar nije zaboleo.
Do kraja zivota bridece mi obraz od treceg samara, iako ga nisam
primila ja nego jedan stari nesrecni Srbin koga su Albanci proterali sa
Kosova i Metohije.
Predsednica Fonda za humanitarno pravo, nevladine organizacije, Natasa
Kandic osamarila je pre dve nedelje starca koji je demonstrirao u
Beogradu jer su mu Albanci kidnapovali sina. Srbi sa Kosmeta kojima su
Albanci - teroristi oteli najmilije nosili su fotografije otetih i
molili pomoc. KFOR nece da im pomogne, KFOR je - sto da krijem,
okupirao Kosovo i Metohiju kolevku srpske drzavnosti i deo moje
otadzbine. Suzamo Srba sa Kosova niko na Zapadu ne veruje, ali se nadam
da im veruje Bog. Favoritkinja americke demokratije, a mozda
najomrznutija licnost u Srbiji, pre dve nedelje osamarila je samog Boga.

OPTUZUJEM !
Nemacku optuzujem zato sto je prekrsila Ustav i vojno napala moju
otadzbinu. Njene vojnike u sastavu KFOR-a optuzujem zato sto ne stite
sve stanovnike Kosova, nego se ponasaju kao okupatori u ime Albanaca.
Britaniju optuzujem zato sto me je protivno medjunarodnom pravu
bombardovala i zato sto je sad okupirala deo Kosova. Pod sadasnjom
vlascu u Srbiji britanski narednici uce srpske oficire kako je zlocin
braniti Srbiju. Sjedinjene Americke Drzave optuzujem da sprovode
nacisticku globalizaciju Planete. Vasington hoce da unisti slabije
zemlje, bogate resursima i da satre njihove narode. Italiju optuzujem
zato sto je dozvolila da sa njenbog tla polecu NATO azdaje koje su
sejale bombe po mojoj otadzbini i po mome narodu. Trazim pomilovanje za
Spaniju, da je nesto ziv Garsija Federiko Lorka branio bi moju zemlju.
Spanski vojnici u okupiranoj Republici Srpskoj najmilosrdniji su prema
mome narodu od svih okupatora. Trazim pomilovanje za Spaniju i zbog
jednog starca Andaluzanina koji mi je pre tri nedelje u Alambriji
rekao: "Albanci su pobili srpsku decu na Kosovu a vi ste Srbi usamljeni
u nesreci". Na tom mestu mozda su pre 67 godina duhovni preci Havijera
Solane poveli na streljanje najveceg pesnika Spanije, Lorku koji bi me
branio. Trazim pomilovanje za Portugaliju jer su njeni poslanici u
Parlamentu nosili target protestvujuci zbog NATO bombardovanja Srbije.
I zato sto je portugalska komunisicka omladina u Koimbri na zidovima
pisala "Zivela sloboda Srbije i zivela sloboda Iraka". Trazim
pomilovanje i za sve dobre na Zapadu koji se ne mire sa nepravdama i
zlocinima svojih vlada.

ICH KLAGE AN - ODER STORY VON DREI OHRFEIGEN UND DER EUROPÄISCHEN SÜNDE

http://www.artel.co.yu/de/izbor/jugoslavija/2003-09-23_1.html

Spomenka Deretic, Journalistin
Belgrad, 17. September 2003

Fünf Tage vor meinem 28. Geburtstag begab ich mich nach Dienstschluss
in Radio Belgrad auf den Weg nach Hause. Kurz vor meiner Wohnung, an
der Straßenecke Zmaj Jovina und Gospodar Jovanova, in einer ruhigen
Gegend, aber im Zentrum Belgrads, sah ich, wie ein Mann eine Zigeunerin
schlägt. Die Serben stehen gerne Hilflosen bei, und so begann auch ich
den jungen Mann von dem dunkelhäutigen Mädchen zu verdrängen. Der
drehte sich um und gab mir eine Ohrfeige. Ich werde niemals meine erste
Ohrfeige vergessen und auch nicht den Polizisten, der den Rowdy
abführte, oder das verweinte Mädchen.
Die zweite Ohrfeige handelte ich mir unter der DOS-Staatsmacht ein, als
ich von einer Protestkundgebung anlässlich des Besuchs Javier Solanas
in Belgrad heimkehrte. Mich ohrfeigte ein Mitglied der
"Widerstandsbewegung", einer Organisation, die der Amerikanische
Geheimdienst erfunden und in Ungarn ausgebildet hat, um beim Sturz der
Regierung Slobodan Miloševics und des jugoslawischen Staates
mitzuhelfen. Schon immer waren mir Organisationen zuwider, die jemand
aus dem Ausland finanziert, um die Staatsmacht im eigenen Land zu
stürzen. Die Organisation "Widerstand" ist mir besonders zuwider, weil
sie von der CIA finanziert wird, weil ihre Mitglieder hinterhältig und
feige sind und weil ihr Symbol eine geballte Faust ist, was mich
unweigerlich an ein faschistisches Zeichen erinnert. Den jungen Mann,
der mich geohrfeigt hatte, weil ich gegen Javier Solana demonstrierte,
habe ich - zugegeben - mit der Schuhspitze einen Stoß in die
Schamgegend versetzt. Er zog jammernd davon. Seine Ohrfeige tat mir
nicht weh.
Wegen der dritten Ohrfeige wird meine Wange bis an mein Lebensende
brennen, obwohl sie nicht mir versetzt wurde, sondern einem alten
unglücklichen Serben, den die Albaner aus Kosovo und Metohija
vertrieben haben. Die Vorsitzende des Fonds für humanitäres Recht,
einer Nichtregierungsorganisation, Nataša Kandic, ohrfeigte vor zwei
Wochen einen alten Mann, der in Belgrad demonstrierte, weil die Albaner
seinen Sohn entführt haben. Die Serben aus Kosovo und Metohija, denen
die albanischen Terroristen ihre liebsten Familienangehörigen
gekidnappt haben, trugen die Fotos der Entführten und flehten um Hilfe.
Die KFOR will ihnen nicht helfen, die KFOR - weshalb sollte ich das
verheimlichen - hat Kosovo und Metohija, die Wiege der serbischen
Staatlichkeit und einen Teil meines Vaterlandes, okkupiert. Den Tränen
der Serben aus Kosovo glaubt niemand im Westen, aber ich hoffe, Gott
glaubt ihnen. Die Favoritin der amerikanischen Demokratie, und
vielleicht auch die verhassteste Persönlichkeit in Serbien, hat vor
zwei Wochen Gott selbst geohrfeigt.

ICH KLAGE AN!
Deutschland klage ich an, weil es die Verfassung verletzt und mein
Vaterland militärisch angegriffen hat. Seine Soldaten im KFOR-Bestand
klage ich an, weil sie nicht alle Einwohner des Kosovo schützen,
sondern sich wie Okkupanten im Namen der Albaner verhalten.
Großbritannien klage ich an, weil es mich entgegen dem Völkerrecht
bombardiert und weil es einen Teil des Kosovo okkupiert hat. Unter der
gegenwärtigen Staatsmacht in Serbien bringen britische Sergeanten
serbischen Offizieren bei, dass es ein Verbrechen ist, Serbien zu
verteidigen. Die USA klage ich an, die nazistische Globalisierung
unseres Planeten durchzuführen. Washington will die schwächeren Länder,
reich an Ressourcen, vernichten und deren Völker ausrotten. Italien
klage ich an, weil es erlaubt hat, dass von seinem Territorium aus
NATO-Drachen starten, die auf mein Land und mein Volk Bomben
abfeuerten. Ich ersuche um Begnadigung für Spanien, wäre Garcia
Federico Lorca am Leben, hätte er mein Land verteidigt. Die spanischen
Soldaten in der okkupierten Republika Srpska lassen von allen
Okkupanten die größte Barmherzigkeit gegenüber meinem Volk walten. Ich
ersuche um Begnadigung für Spanien auch wegen eines alten Andalusiers,
der vor drei Wochen in Alhambra zu mir sagte: "Die Albaner haben
serbische Kinder im Kosovo getötet, und ihr Serben steht im Unglück
einsam und verlassen da". An dieser Stelle haben vielleicht vor 67
Jahren die geistigen Vorfahren Javier Solanas den größten Dichter
Spaniens, Lorca, der mich verteidigt hätte, hingerichtet. Ich ersuche
um Begnadigung für Portugal, denn seine Abgeordneten trugen im
Parlament die Zielscheibe und protestierten gegen die
Nato-Bombardierung Serbiens. Und weil die portugiesische kommunistische
Jugend in Coimbra auf Mauern den Spruch schrieb: "Es lebe die Freiheit
Serbiens und es lebe die Freiheit Iraks". Ich ersuche um Begnadigung
auch für alle guten Menschen im Westen, die sich mit den
Ungerechtigkeiten und Verbrechen ihrer Regierungen nicht abfinden.
