>
> IFondazione "Memoria, Responsabilità e Futuro":
>
> Durante il regime nazionalsocialista e la Seconda Guerra Mondiale,
> circa 8 milioni di lavoratori forzati vennero impiegati, a condizioni
> prevalentemente inumane, sul territorio del Reich e nelle zone
> occupate dalla Germania. In molti casi, i perseguitati vennero

> Futuro", delle imprese tedesche e la Repubblica Federale di Germania
> intendono sottolineare la loro responsabilità storica e morale per
> questi avvenimenti nonché completare i regimi di risarcimento già
> esistenti. La Fondazione intende fornire un aiuto agli ex lavoratori
> forzati e ad altre vittime del nazionalsocialismo in maniera
> non-burocratica e soprattutto rapida.
>
> Una parte della Fondazione sarà dedicata a compiti riguardanti il
> futuro miranti a mantenere viva la memoria dell'Olocausto e delle
> ulteriori ingiustizie perpetrate dal nazionalsocialismo e dovrà
> contribuire, favorendo l'informazione e l'incontro, ad evitare la
> nascita di nuovi sistemi totalitari.
>
> Il 6 luglio 2000, il Bundestag Tedesco ha approvato la legge per
> l'istituzione della Fondazione "Memoria, Responsabilità e Futuro",
> anche il Bundesrat ha espresso, il 14 luglio 2000, il suo assenso. La
> legge sulla Fondazione entrerà probabilmente in vigore nel mese di
> agosto 2000. Successivamente, potranno essere presentate le richieste
> per i benefici previsti dalla legge medesima presso le rispettive
> organizzazioni partner.
>
> IIPrestazioni:
>
> La legge prevede soprattutto il versamento di prestazioni ai
> richiedenti
>
> -che sono stati prigionieri in un campo di concentramento ai sensi del
> § 42, comma 2 della legge federale sugli indennizzi o in un altro
> centro di detenzione fuori dal territorio dell'odierna Repubblica
> d'Austria ovvero in un ghetto a condizioni similari e che sono stati
> costretti al lavoro forzato (§ 11, comma 1, punto 1)
>
> -che sono stati deportati dal loro Paese natale nel territorio del
> Reich entro i confini del 1937 o in una zona occupata dal Reich per
> essere impiegati a scopo lavorativo in un impresa commerciale o nel
> settore pubblico e che sono stati detenuti a condizioni diverse da
> quelle su menzionate o sottoposti a condizioni simili alla detenzione
> ovvero a condizioni di vita comparabili per la loro particolare
> durezza. Questa regolamentazione non vale per le persone che possono
> percepire prestazioni del fondo austriaco per la riconciliazione visto
> che il lavoro forzato è stato prestato principalmente sul territorio
> dell'odierna Repubblica d'Austria (§ 11, comma 1, punto 2).
>
> La legge contiene una clausola di apertura che permette alle
> organizzazioni partner, cui ne è affidata l'esecuzione, di concedere
> aiuti anche ad altre vittime delle ingiustizie nazionalsocialiste,
> soprattutto a lavoratori forzati impiegati nell'agricoltura. Le
> organizzazioni partner decidono, sotto la propria responsabilità, in
> merito all'uso della clausola di apertura.
>
> L'essere stato prigioniero di guerra non implica un diritto alle
> prestazioni.
>
> La legge prevede anche prestazioni a richiedenti che, a seguito della
> persecuzione razzista, hanno subito danni patrimoniali ai sensi delle
> leggi sui risarcimenti causati principalmente e direttamente da
> imprese tedesche e che, non soddisfacendo i presupposti di residenza
> della legge federale sugli indennizzi, non hanno potuto percepire le
> relative prestazioni (§ 11, comma 1, punto 3).
>
> La legge prevede inoltre, in una procedura separata, la compensazione
> di ulteriori danni patrimoniali derivanti dalle ingiustizie commesse
> dal nazionalsocialismo. In caso di danni assicurativi, è necessario
> rivolgersi alla Commissione Internazionale per i Risarcimenti alle
> Vittime dell'Olocausto (ICHEIC), per danni patrimoniali di altro
> genere all'Organizzazione Internazionale per la Migrazione (IOM).
>
> La legge prevede, altresì, prestazioni volte a compensare altri danni
> inferti a persone nel contesto delle ingiustizie nazionalsocialiste,
> soprattutto in casi di esperimenti medici o di morte ovvero in casi di
> gravi danni alla salute cagionati a bambini tenuti in ricoveri per
> figli di lavoratori forzati (§ 9, comma 3).
>
> Si può prendere visione del testo della legge al sito internet:
> www.bundesfinanzministerium.de.
>
> IIIModalità di richiesta:
>
> La legge prevede la valutazione delle richieste ed il pagamento delle
> prestazioni da parte delle organizzazioni partner:
>
> I richiedenti in Polonia, nella Repubblica Ceca, nel Belarus,
> nell'Ucraina e nella Federazione Russa devono rivolgersi alle
> rispettive fondazioni per la riconciliazione ovvero al Fondo
> tedesco-ceco per il futuro.
>
> I richiedenti ebrei in Israele, negli Stati Uniti e in tutti i Paesi
> in cui non esistono fondazioni per la riconciliazione devono
> rivolgersi alla Conference on Jewish Material Claims against Germany.
>
> I richiedenti residenti in Estonia devono rivolgersi alla sede
> distaccata di Tallinn, ancora da istituire, della fondazione per la
> riconciliazione del Belarus.
>
> I richiedenti residenti in Lettonia devono rivolgersi alla sede
> distaccata di Riga, ancora da istituire, della fondazione per la
> riconciliazione russa.
>
> I richiedenti residenti in Lituania devono rivolgersi alla sede
> distaccata di Vilnius, ancora da istituire, della fondazione per la
> riconciliazione russa.
>
> I richiedenti residenti nella Repubblica di Moldova devono rivolgersi
> alla fondazione di Kiev.
>
> Per i richiedenti che in data 16 febbraio 1999 risiedevano in una
> repubblica della ex Unione Sovietica diversa da quelle già menzionate
> è responsabile l'organizzazione partner competente per il territorio
> dove abitavano al momento della deportazione (§ 9, comma 2).
>
> Tutti gli altri richiedenti devono rivolgersi alla IOM. Se la IOM ha
> una succursale nel relativo Paese di residenza, le domande devono
> venir inoltrate presso tale sede.
>
> Il termine per inoltrare le richieste decorre dal momento dell'entrata
> in vigore della legge e ammonta di norma a 8 mesi. Le domande
> indirizzate alla IOM hanno, invece, una scadenza di 12 mesi. Le
> richieste devono venir presentate entro i predetti termini. Viene
> garantito che le domande rivolte entro tali scadenze agli indirizzi
> riportati al capitolo IV ed alle sedi distaccate delle fondazioni per
> la riconciliazione nei Paesi Baltici vengano considerate come
> rispettanti i termini anche se l'organizzazione in questione non
> dovesse essere responsabile per il relativo caso.
>
> Come indirizzo provvisorio, la Fondazione ha istituito un ufficio
> presso l'Ente Federale per la regolamentazione delle questioni
> patrimoniali sospese a Berlino, Mauerstr. 39-40, 10117 Berlino.
>
> Il Ministero Federale delle Finanze e l'Incaricato del Cancelliere
> Federale non accettano richieste.
>
> Le prestazioni ai sensi della legge sulla Fondazione, ad eccezione di
> danni patrimoniali, devono venir richieste dall'avente diritto stesso
> ed espressamente come tali. Qualora il beneficiario sia deceduto dopo
> il 15 febbraio 1999 o nel caso in cui vengano fatti valere danni
> patrimoniali, il coniuge sopravvissuto o i figli ancora in vita hanno
> diritto alle prestazioni in parti uguali. Le prestazioni possono, se
> il beneficiario non ha come superstiti né coniugi né figli, venire
> richieste in parti uguali anche dai nipoti o, qualora non siano
> sopravvissuti dei nipoti, dai fratelli. Se neanche i fratelli
> presentano richiesta, possono farlo gli eredi indicati nel testamento
> (§ 13, comma 1).
>
> La procedura di richiesta è gratuita. Le organizzazioni partner non
> possono esigere alcuna commissione o diritti di sorta. Non sussiste
> l'obbligo di farsi rappresentare da un avvocato. Il Governo Federale
> non ha incaricato o autorizzato alcun intermediario professionista.
> Eventuali spese non vengono rimborsate.
>
> Il richiedente deve dimostrare tramite apposita documentazione di
> avere diritto alle prestazioni. Le organizzazioni partner devono
> consultare la documentazione inoltrata. Pertanto, le richieste di
> documenti vanno indirizzate, in primo luogo, all'organizzazione
> partner responsabile. Ciò vale anche se i documenti disponibili non
> sono sufficienti e se si è in grado di comprovare la persecuzione
> subita solo altrimenti, per esempio nominando dei testimoni.
> L'organizzazione partner competente, rivolgendosi per esempio al
> Servizio Internazionale di Ricerche (ISD) o ad altri archivi tramite
> procedure abbreviate, riceverà informazioni molto più celermente di
> quanto non sia possibile fare con richieste personali in lingua
> straniera.
>
> Questa scheda ha esclusivamente lo scopo di fornire informazioni sui
> criteri di massima per poter beneficiare delle prestazioni e sulle
> modalità di richiesta.
>
> Il Governo Federale, la Fondazione e le sue organizzazioni partner
> provvederanno affinché entro due mesi dall'entrata in vigore della
> legge (a partire dal mese di agosto del 2000) i presupposti per poter
> beneficiare delle prestazioni nonché i periodi utili per presentare le

> LES "ERREURS INVOLONTAIRES" DE L'OTAN SELON MME CARLA DEL PONTE
>
> Vendredi 2 juin 2000 la Procureur du Tribunal pénal international pour
> l'ex-Yougoslavia, Mme Carla del Ponte a déclaré devant le Conseil de
> Sécurité
> qu'elle avait reçu plusieurs plaintes de différentes sources accompagnées
> d'une abondante documentation avec des allégations que des crimes de guerre
> auraient été commis par le personnel et les dirigeants de l'OTAN pendant la
> campagne aérienne contre la République de Yougoslavie.
> Mme del Ponte a ajouté que, après un examen soigneux de la documentation,
> elle est arrivée à la ferme conviction que si l'OTAN avait commis quelques
> erreurs, elle n'avait par contre attaqué de façon délibérée objectifs civils
> ou militaires prohibés pendant la campagne aérienne. (UN NEWSERVICE, 2 juin
> 2000, www.un.org).
>
> Le Bureau du Procureur du Tribunal pénal international pour l'ex-Yougoslavia
> a reçu en effet plusieurs plaintes contre les leaders de l'OTAN, parmi
> elles,
> le 7 mai 1999 celle de l'Association Américaine de Juristes et d'un groupe
> de
> professeurs canadiens. Quelques-uns des signataires de la plainte ont eu
> des
> réunions, d'abord avec l'ancien Procureur, Mme Louise Arbour et après avec
> Mme del Ponte.
>
> Outre qu'elle dénonçait l'attaque lancée par l'OTAN comme constituant en soi
> une violation de la Charte des Nations Unies, la plainte faisait valoir
> entre
> autres les arguments légaux suivants :
>
> 1) La stratégie adoptée par l'OTAN, consistant en attaquer à partir de bases
> très éloignées (missiles) ou d'avions volant à 5000 mètres d'altitude, n'ont
> pas permis de prendre les "Précautions dans l'attaque" prévues à l'article
> 57
> du Protocole I aux Conventions de Genève
> et violent la "Règle fondamentale" de l'article 48 de ce même Protocole : en
> tout temps faire la distinction entre la population civile et les
> combattants
> ainsi qu'entre les biens de caractère civil et les objectifs militaires et,
> par conséquent, ne diriger leurs opérations que contre des objectifs
> militaires. Bien que les dommages interdits par les Conventions de Genève
> étaient prévisibles, il a été décidé (C'EST À DIRE IL A EU DÉLIBÉRATION ET
> DÉCISION) de faire usage de cette stratégie. Il y a eu donc responsabilité
> pénale puisqu'il y a dol éventuel : l'auteur des faits sait que les dommages
> interdits peuvent se produire (représentation du résultat), et néanmoins il
> agit.
>
> 2) L'attaque générale lancée DÉLIBÉRÉMENT contre l'infrastructure civile et
> particulièrement contre des centrales électriques, les sources et les
> conduites d'eau potable
> viole l'article 54, al. 2 du Protocole I : Interdiction de mettre hors
> d'usage des biens indispensables à la survie de la population civile.
>
> Cette stratégie d'attaque à distance et de destruction massive d'objectifs
> civils N'A PAS ÉTÉ DES ERREURS OU DU SIMPLE HASARD.
>
> Dans un documentaire sur la guerre contre la Yougoslavie émis par la chaîne
> de TV franco allemande ARTE le 25/11/99, un général de l'armée des
> Etats-Unis, faisant partie selon lui des responsables chargés de choisir les
> objectifs à bombarder, disait que ces objectifs ont été choisis en fonction
> des considérations politiques plutôt que militaires : il s'agit, disait-il,
> plutôt que d'annihiler les forces armées ennemies, d'affaiblir le
> gouvernement ennemi, rendant insupportable la vie à la population civile.
> Cela n'était pas un avis personnel du général : c'est la doctrine militaire
> officielle en vigueur depuis plusieurs années dans les forces armées des
> Etats-Unis, et mise déjà en exécution dans l'invasion du Panama et pendant
> la
> guerre du Golfe. Cette doctrine est manifestement violatoire de la lettre
> et
> l'esprit des Conventions de Genève.
> Dans le même documentaire, le Ministre d'affaires étrangères de l'Allemagne,
> Joshka Fischer, affirma que les décisions sur les objectifs à attaquer
> étaient prises à Washington. Cela n'exempte pas de responsabilité des
> membres de l'OTAN autres que les Etats-Unis, puisque, selon le "NATO
> handbook", part 1, points 5 et 7, à l'OTAN les décisions sont prises par
> consensus au Conseil de l'organisation. S'il n'y a pas eu d'opposition aux
> décisions prises à Washington cela équivaut au consensus et, en conséquence,
> il y a partage des responsabilités.
>
> 3) Il y a eu aussi des attaques DÉLIBERÉS contre civils dans des conditions
> particulièrement odieuses : par exemple le deuxième bombardement d'un pont
> sur lequel il y avait des civils en train de secourir à des victimes, eux
> aussi civils, du premier bombardement.
>
> 4) L'utilisation des bombes à dispersion (cluster bombs), censées détruire
> des objectifs "mous" (et donc causer la mort sans discrimination du plus
> grand nombre possible de personnes), DE PROJECTILES À URANIUM APPAUVRI (qui
> causent des dommages étendus et durables) et le bombardement d'usines
> chimiques, qui entraîne la dispersion des produits toxiques dans
> l'environnement (dommages étendus et éventuellement durables), VIOLENT LES
> DISPOSITIONS DE L'ARTICLE 35, AL. 2 DU PROTOCOLE I : INTERDICTION D'EMPLOYER
> DES PROJECTILES ET DES MATIÈRES, AINSI QUE DES MÉTHODES DE GUERRE DE NATURE
> À
> CAUSER DES MAUX SUPERFLUS, ET DE L'ALINÉA 3 DU MÊME ARTICLE : INTERDICTION

> OU DONT ON PEUT ATTENDRE QU'ILS CAUSERONT, DES DOMMAGES ÉTENDUS, DURABLES ET
> GRAVES À L'ENVIRONNEMENT NATUREL ; de l'article 36 : armes nouvelles qui
> sont
> ou pourraient être interdites par le Protocole ou par toute autre règle de
> droit international (les petites bombes qui se trouvent à l'intérieur des
> bombes à dispersion et qui restent au sol sans exploser ont le même effet
> que
> les mines antipersonnel, interdites par la Convention d'Ottawa de 1997, en
> vigueur depuis le 1er. Mars 1999) et violent aussi les dispositions de
> l'art.
> 55 du même Protocole I : "La guerre sera conduite en veillant à protéger
> l'environnement naturel contre des dommages étendus, durables et graves".
>
> Ces agissements soigneusement planifiés et mises en oeuvre par l'OTAN en

ECCO IL TESTO!


Essendo entrati in allarme per i titoli apparsi sui nostri giornali, che
nelle scorse settimane hanno azzardato inquietanti ipotesi sul nuovo
testo dell'Inno nazionale della Federazione Russa, abbiamo incaricato il
nostro agente segreto a Mosca - nome in codice Njika - di sottrarlo al
nemico e tradurcelo in italiano.
Con grande sgomento non abbiamo trovato nessun accenno ne' a Stalin, ne'
allo Zar! Eppure "Repubblica" ed il "Corriere" ci avevano garantito...
La cosa e' sospetta. Evidentemente il nemico e' cosi' perfido da
nascondere le sue smanie espansionistico-nazional-komuniste sotto un
velo di convenzionale patriottismo da inno nazionale medio.
Ma la nostra guerra santa contro l'orso russo non finisce certo qui.


Russia – nostro venerato Stato!
Russia – nostro amato Paese!
Potente volonta’, grande gloria
La tua eredita’ è per i secoli (lett. per tutti i tempi).

Ritornello:
Viva la (lett. Gloria a te,) nostra libera Patria –
Unione secolare di popoli fratelli,
Saggezza popolare trasmessa (lett. data) dagli antenati,
Viva (lett. Gloria a te), o Paese! Siamo orgogliosi di te!

Dai mari del Sud al confine polare
Si sono lanciati i nostri boschi e campi.
Unica tu sei al mondo! Solo tu sei tale!
Terra natia protetta da Dio.

Ritornello.

Vastita’ immensa (lett. ampia) per sogni e vita,
Gli anni ci dischiudono il futuro.
Ci infonde forza la nostra fedelta’ alla Patria.
Cosi’ è stato, cosi’ è e cosi’ sara’ sempre!

Ritornello.

(testo di Sergej Michalkov, 2000)


PS. ottimo lavoro Njika. Adesso riguardati, che con le temperature
vicine a meno 15 gradi ed il tasso di poverta' passato dal 2 al 50 per
cento nel giro di dieci anni questo inverno avete ben altro a cui
pensare.

NATO in Croatia
Boris Raseta
24-11-2000

As late as spring of this year, the commander of the Croatian
air force
general Josip Culetic mentioned the possibility of the NATO base

presently stationed ! in the Italian townlet of Aviano being
relocated to
Udbina. The move - the general argued - would do Croatia good,
further
strengthening its strategic ties to the western military
alliance and,
probably, resulting in a substantial material gain for Croatia
as well.

NATO Willfully Triggered An Environmental Catastrophe In
Yugoslavia
Michel Chossudovsky
18-06-2000

In this report, Michel Chossudovsky provides conclusive
documentary
and photographic evidence that contrary to the statements of
various
international observers, the environmental catastrophe at the
Pancevo
petrochemical plant was neither the result of 'collateral
damage' (that
is, an accident of war) nor a case of criminal negligence (that
is,
resulting from criminal disregard of consequences). Rather, the
evidence is compelling. NATO willfully blew up with meticulous
accuracy containers of! toxic chemicals with the intention of
creating an
ecological nightmare.

The Truth about Depleted Uranium : Worse than a scandal
Robert Fisk
08-01-2001

'JUST FOURTEEN months ago, on a bleak, frosty afternoon, I
stopped
my car beside an old Ottoman bridge in southern Kosovo. It was
here,
scarcely half a year earlier, that Nato jets had bombed a convoy
of
Albanian refugees, ripping scores of them to pieces in the
surrounding
fields. Their jets, I knew, had been firing depleted uranium
rounds. And
now, on the very spot east of Djakovica where a bomb had torn
apart an
entire refugee family in a tractor, five Italian Kfor soldiers
had built a
little checkpoint. ...'

LA JUGOSLAVIA NELLA NATO


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

Dopo la visita al quartiere generale della NATO ci attendiamo che
Svilanovic, per ringraziare del sostegno politico ed elettorale offerto
alla nuova classe dirigente di destra in Jugoslavia, si presenti anche
alla redazione del "Manifesto".

> The Media's War Against the Serbs
>
> by Stella L. Jatras *
>
>
> The media's biased war against the Serbs has been a major factor in the
> dismemberment of the former Yugoslavia and the demonizing of an entire
> nation. One of the best examples of such bias can be found in the
> Washington Times, both in its reporting of events in the Balkans and its
> editorial policy. I single out the Washington Times because it is
> supposedly the "conservative" newspaper, the counter to the liberal news
> that is published in the Washington Post, the New York Times, and the
> rest of the liberal media. Unfortunately, the Washington Times has
> become part of the liberal propaganda machine that helped to bring death
> and suffering to tens of thousands of innocent people.
>
> One explanation for the Times' slanted reporting which agrees with the
> liberal media may be the fact that it depends on "stringers,"
> (reporters) to cover much of its foreign news, specifically in the
> Balkans. This may also explain why its editorial staff has been
> consistently anti-Serb.
>
> In his "World Review" section on 5 March, 2000, the Washington Times'
> Foreign Desk Editor David Jones wrote, "But the stringers quickly lose
> interest in filing to us if we are not buying their stories and putting
> them in the paper." What this tells me is that the bottom line in
> formulating stories has little to do with the truth, or even accuracy,
> but has everything to do with what makes the biggest headlines and
> brings in the most financial rewards for both the "stringer" and the
> Washington Times. How often are these goals achieved by embellishing the
> "facts" to add a little sensationalism?
>
> Case in point. On 6 August 1998, the Washington Times featured
> "stringer" Philip Smucker's exclusive front page headline read: "Kosovar
> bodies bulldozed to dump; Serbs deny massacre, but evidence [not
> "alleged," or "thought-to-be], but "evidence impossible to avoid of mass
> graves containing the bodies of 567." He also claimed that at least half
> of the bodies were those of women and children although, to that point,
> the alleged bodies had not been exhumed. To further embellish his story,
> Smucker went on to say, "Stark evidence in the form of freshly turned
> earth and the overwhelming stench of death has exposed the presence of
> scores of bodies that were bulldozed into a garbage dump after a Serbian
> attack against ethnic Albanian rebels who tried to seize this town."
> Even a photograph accompanied Smucker's article with the caption, "A
> news photographer shoots a picture of fresh graves - some identified
> with ethnic Albanian names - in the Kosovar town of Orahovac," (Kosova
> is the Albanian name given to Kosovo).
>
> However, on the very same day, the Guardian [UK] of 6 August 1998,
> reported, "European Union (EU) observers found no evidence of mass
> graves reported in the town of Orahovac, the teams' Austrian leader,
> Walter Ebenberger, said." In contrast to the front page coverage given
> to Mr. Smucker's intended shock-attention report on Serb atrocities, the
> following day the Washington Times carried a small, barely noticeable
> item hidden on page A15 (World Scene, 7 August 1998), which stated,
> "NATO Chief [Secretary-General Javier Solana] dismissed mass graves in
> Kosovo."
>
> In all honesty, does it not bother the editors at the Washington Times
> that "stringer" Smucker's report of 6 August was a vicious lie? There
> were no mass graves containing the bodies of 567 ethnic Albanian
> victims; but there it was, on the front page. I stand in awe of the fact
> that truth in journalism is what they want it to be, what sells, and
> that articles by Mr. Smucker required, in the Times' judgment, no
> documentation, no verification, no responsibility, and apparently were
> accepted without question. Smucker's was the kind of reporting that
> played right into Clinton's New World Order scheme and at the same time,

The United Nations Environment
Organization (WHO) convey the illusion (contrary to scientific evidence)
that the health risks of depleted uranium can easily be dealt with by
cordoning off and "cleaning up" the "affected areas" targeted by the US
Air Force's A-10 "anti-tank killers." What they fail to mention is that
the radioactive dust has already spread beyond the 72 "identified target
sites" in Kosovo. Most of the villages and cities including Pristina,
Prizren and Pec lie within less than 20 km. of these sites, confirming
that the whole province is contaminated, putting not only "peacekeepers"
but the entire civilian population at risk.

              LOW INTENSITY NUCLEAR WAR

Professor of Economics, University of Ottawa, author of "The
Globalization of Poverty", second enlarged edition, Common Courage
Press, 2001.


The death from leukemia of eight Italian peacekeepers stationed in
Bosnia and Kosovo sparked an uproar in the Italian Parliament, following
the leaking of a secret military document to the Italian newspaper La
Republicca. In Portugal, the Defense Ministry was also involved in what
amounted to a deliberate camouflage of "the cause of death" of
Portuguese peacekeeper Corporal Hugo Paulino. "'Citing "herpes of the
brain', the army refused to allow his family to commission a postmortem
examination."1 Amidst mounting political pressure, Defense Minister
Julio Castro Caldas advised NATO Headquarters in November that he was
withdrawing Portuguese troops from Kosovo: "They were not, he said,
going to become uranium meat". 2
As the number of cancer cases among Balkans "peacekeepers" rises, NATO's
cover-up has started to fracture. Several European governments have been
obliged to publicly acknowledge the "alleged health risks" of depleted
uranium (DU) shells used by the US Air Force in NATO's 78-day war
against Yugoslavia.
The Western media points to an apparent "split" within the military
alliance. In fact there was no "division" or disagreement between
Washington and its European allies until the scandal broke through the
gilded surface.
Italy, Portugal, France and Belgium were fully aware that DU weapons
were being used. The health impacts --including mountains of scientific
reports-- were known and available to European governments. Italy
participated in the scheduling of the A-10 "anti-tank killer" raids
(carrying DU shells) out of its Aviano and Gioia del Colle air force
bases. The Italian Defense Ministry knew what was happening at military
bases under its jurisdiction.
Washington's European partners in NATO including Britain, France,
Turkey, Greece have DU weapons in their arsenals. Canada is one of the
main suppliers of depleted uranium. NATO countries share full
responsibility for the use of weapons banned by the Geneva and Hague
conventions and the 1945 Nuremberg Charter on war crimes. 3
Since the Gulf War, Washington launched a "cover-up" on the health
impacts of DU toxic radiation known as the "Gulf War Syndrome", with the
tacit endorsement of its NATO partners.
While NATO had until recently denied using DU shells in the 1999 war
against Yugoslavia, it now admits that although it did use DU
ammunition, the shells "have negligible radioactivity.and [a]ny
resulting debris posing any significant risk dissipates soon after the
impact." 4 While casually denying "any connection between illness and
exposure to depleted uranium", the Pentagon nonetheless concedes --in an
ambiguous statement-- that "the main danger posed by depleted uranium
occurs if it is inhaled." 5
And who inhales the radioactive dust, which has spread across the Land?
The shrouded statements from European governments convey the
uncomfortable illusion that only peacekeepers "might be at risk", --i.e.
radioactive particles are only inhaled by military personnel and
expatriate civilians, as if nobody else in the Balkans were affected.
The impacts on local civilians are not mentioned.
In docile complicity, a new media consensus has unfolded: the mainstream
press concurs without further scrutiny that only "peace-keepers" breathe
the air. "But what about everybody else."6 In Kosovo some 2 million
civilian men, women and children have been exposed to the radioactive
fallout since the beginning of the bombing in March 1999. In the
Balkans, more than 20 million people are potentially at risk:
"The risk in Kosovo and elsewhere in the Balkans is augmented by
the uncertainty of where DU was dropped in whatever form and what winds
and surface water movements spread it further. Working the fields,
walking about, just being there, touching objects, breathing and
drinking water are all risky. A British expert predicted that thousands
of people in the Balkans will get sick of DU. The radioactive and toxic
DU-oxides don't disintegrate. They are practically permanent." 7
Keep in mind that the heavily armed "peacekeepers" together with United
Nations staff and civilian personnel of "humanitarian" organisations
entered Kosovo in June 1999. The spread of radioactive dust from DU,
however, started on "day one" of the 78 day bombing of Yugoslavia. With
the exception of NATO Special Forces --who were assisting the KLA on the
ground-- NATO military personnel was not present on the battlefield. In
other words, there was no radioactive exposure to NATO troops during a
"push button" air war, which the Alliance forces waged from the high
skies. Yugoslav civilians are, therefore, at much greater risk because
they were exposed to radioactive fallout throughout the bombings as well
in the wake of the war. Yet the official communiqués suggest that only
KFOR troops and expatriate civilians "might be at risk" implying that
local civilians simply do not matter. Only servicemen and expatriate
personnel have been screened for radiation levels.

CHILDHOOD CANCERS

The first signs of radiation on children, including herpes on the mouth
and skin rashes on the back and ankles have been observed in Kosovo.8 In
Northern Kosovo --the area least affected by DU shells (see Map at
http://balkans.unep.ch/du/targetmap.html) -- 160 people are being
treated for cancer.9 The number of leukemia cases in Northern Kosovo has
increased by 200 percent since NATO's air campaign, and children have
been born with deformities.10 This information regarding civilian
victims --which the United Nations Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) has been
careful not to reveal--- refutes NATO's main "assumption" that
radioactive dust does not spread beyond the target sites, most of which
are in the Southwestern and Southern regions close to the Albanian and
Macedonian borders.
These findings are consistent with those from Iraq, where the use of
depleted uranium weapons during the 1991 Gulf War resulted in "increases
in childhood cancers and leukemia, Hodgkin's disease, lymphomas, and
increases in congenital diseases and deformities in foetuses, along with
limb reductional abnormalities and increases in genetic abnormalities
throughout Iraq."11 Pedriatic examinations on Iraqi children confirm
that:
"childhood leukemia has risen 600% in the areas [of Iraq] where DU was
used. Stillbirths, births or abortion of fetuses with monstrous
abnormalities, and other cancers in children born since [the Gulf War
in] 1991 have also been found." 12
            
COVER-UP
             
The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Health
Organization (WHO) have tacitly accepted NATO-Pentagon assumptions
concerning the health impacts of depleted uranium. When UNEP conducted
its first assessment of DU radiation in Kosovo in 1999, NATO refused to
provide the mission with maps indicating the locations of "affected
areas" (points of impact where DU shells had fallen).
On the pretext that "there was insufficient data available to
comprehensively address the issue of the impacts of depleted uranium
ordnance," UNEP produced an inconclusive and noncommittal "desk study"
which was appended to the 1999 Balkans Task Force Report (BTF) on the
environmental impacts of the War. 13 UNEP's desk study pointed to the
"possible use of DU" thereby implying that it was still unsure as to
whether DU shells had actually been used.
UNEP's evasiveness -claiming lack of sufficient data-- contributed, in
the wake of the bombings, to temporarily dissipating public concern.
More generally, the UNEP-UNCHS Balkans Task Force report tends to
downplay the seriousness of the environmental catastrophe triggered by
NATO. Amply documented, the catastrophe was the deliberate result of
military planning.14
NATO maps (indicating where DU shells had been targeted) were not
required for UNEP and the WHO to conduct an investigation on the health
impacts of depleted uranium radiation. A study of this nature
--inevitably requiring a team of medical specialists in pedriatics and
cancer working in liaison with experts on toxic radiation-- was never
carried out. In fact, UNEP's stated "scientific" assumption precluded
from the outset a meaningful assessment of the health impacts. According
to UNEP:
"the effects of DU are mainly localized in the places DU has been used
and the affected areas are likely to be small". 15 See the 1999 desk
study, op. cit.)
This proposition (which is presented without scientific proof) is shared
by UNEP's sister organization, the WHO: "You would have to be very close
to a damaged tank and be there within
seconds of it being hit. These soldiers were very unlikely to have been
exposed.'' 16
These statements by UN bodies (quoted by NATO and the Pentagon to
justify the use of DU weapons) are part and parcel of the camouflage.
They convey the illusion that the health risks to peacekeepers and local
civilians can easily be dealt with by cordoning off and "cleaning up"
the "targeted areas."
The WHO has warned, in this regard, that depleted uranium could affect
children playing in these areas "because children. tend to pick up
pieces of dirt or put their toys in their mouth."17 What the WHO fails
to acknowledge is that the radioactive dust has already spread beyond
the affected areas, implying that children throughout Kosovo are at
risk.
This tacit complicity of specialized agencies of the UN is yet another
symptom of the deterioration of the United Nations system, which now
plays an underhand role in covering up NATO war crimes. Since the Gulf
War, the WHO has been instrumental in blocking a meaningful
investigation of the health impacts of depleted uranium radiation on
Iraqi children, claiming "it had no data to conduct an indepth
investigation" 18
             
UNEP AND NATO WORKING HAND IN GLOVE

Amidst the public outcry and mounting evidence of cancer among Balkans
military personnel, UNEP conducted a second assessment in November 2000
which included field measurements of beta and gamma particle radiations
in 11 so-called "affected areas" of Kosovo.19
Despite NATO's earlier refusal to collaborate with UNEP, the two
organizations are currently working hand in glove. The composition of
the mission was established in consultation with NATO. The
representative from Greenpeace (involved in the 1999 study) had been
dumped. NATO maps were readily available; the investigation was to focus
narrowly on the collection of soil, water samples, etc. in 11 selected
sites ("affected areas") out of a total of some 72 sites within Kosovo
(see NATO map below, at http://balkans.unep.ch/du/targetmap.html ).
The broader health issues were not part of the mission's terms of
reference. The two medical researchers dispatched by the WHO in 1999 (as
part of the desk study mission) had been replaced with experts from the
US Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine (see
http://chppm-www.apgea.army.mil/default.htm) and AC Laboratorium Spiez
(ACLS), a division of the Swiss Defense Procurement Agency.
AC Laboratorium Spiez (ACLS) has actively collaborated in chemical
weapons inspections in Iraq. Under the disguise of Swiss neutrality,
ACLS constitutes an informal mouthpiece for NATO. ACLS has been on
contract with NATO's "Partnership for Peace" financed by the Swiss
government's contribution to the PfP.20
Although the November mission was still under UNEP auspices, the Swiss
government was funding most of fieldwork with ACLS --a division of the
Swiss military-- playing a central role. The mission --integrated by
representatives linked to the Military establishment-- was working on
the premise (amply reviewed on ACLS's web page) that DU radioactive dust
does not (under any circumstances) travel beyond the "point of release."
21
The results of the report to be published in March 2001 are a foregone
conclusion. They focus on radiation levels in the immediate vicinity of
the target sites . According to the mission's "back to office report"
(January 2001):
". [A]lready at this stage the Team can conclude that at some of the DU
locations, the radiation level is slightly higher above normal at very
limited spots. It would therefore be an unnecessary risk to the
population to be in direct contact with any remnants of DU ammunition or
with the spots where these have been found." 22

DOUBLE STANDARDS
             
If radioactivity were confined to so-called "very limited spots", why
then have KFOR troops been instructed by their governments "not to eat
local produce. have drinking water flown in .and that clothes must be
destroyed on departure and vehicles decontaminated."23 According to Paul
Sullivan, executive director of the National Gulf War Resource Center,
depleted uranium in Yugoslavia could affect "agricultural areas, places
where livestock graze and where crops are grown, thereby introducing the
specter of possible contamination of the food chain." (In November 2000,
Gulf War veterans affected by DU launched a class action law-suit
against the US government).
             
CONTAMINATION OVER A LARGE GEOGRAPHICAL AREA
             
According to NATO sources (communicated to UNEP), some 112 sites in
Yugoslavia (of which 72 are in Kosovo) were targeted during the war with
depleted uranium antitank shells. Between 30,000 and 50,000 DU shells
were fired.
Scientific evidence amply confirms that the DU radioactive aerosol
spreads from "the point of release" over a large geographical area
suggesting that large parts of the province of Kosovo are contaminated.
"[R]adioactive derivatives can linger in the air for months. ''Just one
particle in the lungs is enough. a single particle could travel to the
lymph nodes, where the radioactivity would lower the body's defenses
against lymphomas and leukemia'' 24
According to World renowned radiologist Dr. Rosalie Bertell:
When used in war, the depleted uranium (DU) bursts into flame [and]
releasing a deadly radioactive aerosol of uranium, unlike anything seen
before. It can kill everyone in a tank. This ceramic aerosol is much
lighter than uranium dust. It can travel in air tens of kilometres from
the point of release, or be stirred up in dust and resuspended in air
with wind or human movement. It is very small and can be breathed in by
anyone: a baby, pregnant woman, the elderly, the sick. This radioactive
ceramic can stay deep in the lungs for years, irradiating the tissue
with powerful alpha particles within about a 30 micron sphere, causing
emphysema and/or fibrosis. The ceramic can also be swallowed and do
damage to the gastro-intestinal tract. In time, it penetrates the lung
tissue and enters into the blood stream. ...It can also initiate cancer
or promote cancers which have been initiated by other cancinogens". 25
The targeted sites within Kosovo (see NATO map at
http://balkans.unep.ch/du/targetmap.html) although concentrated on the
South-western border are scattered throughout the province. Most of the
villages and cities including Pristina, Prizren and Pec lie within less
than 20 km. of the 72 DU target sites confirming that the entire
province is contaminated.
             
NATO WAR CRIMES
             
The bombing of Yugoslavia is best described as a "low intensity nuclear
war" using toxic radioactive shells and missiles. Amply documented, the
radioactive fall-out potentially puts millions of people at risk
throughout the Balkans.
In March 1999, NATO launched the air raids invoking broad humanitarian
principles and ideals. NATO had "come to the rescue" of ethnic Albanian
Kosovars on the grounds they were being massacred by Serb forces. The
forensic reports by the FBI and Europol confirm that the massacres did
not occur. In a cruel irony, Albanian Kosovar civilians are among the
main victims of DU radiation.
To maintain the cover-up, NATO is now prepared to reveal a small
fraction of the truth. The military Alliance --in liaison with NATO
member governments-- wants at all cost to maintain the focus on
"peacekeepers"
and keep local civilians out of the picture, because if the entire truth
gets out, then people might start asking questions such as "how is it
that the Kosovar Albanians, the people we were supposed to rescue are
now
the victims?"
In both Bosnia and Kosovo, the UN has been careful not to record cancer
cases among civilians. The narrow focus on "peacekeepers" is part of the
cover-up. It distracts public opinion from the broader issue of civilian
victims.
The primary victims of DU weapons are children, making their use a "war
crime against children." The use of depleted uranium munitions is only
one among several NATO crimes against humanity committed in Iraq and the
Balkans According to official records, some 1800 Balkans peacekeepers
(Bosnia, Croatia and Kosovo) suffer from health ailments related to
DU radiation.26.
Assuming the same level of risk (as a percentage of population), the
numbers of civilians throughout former Yugoslavia affected by DU
radiation would be in the tens of thousands. British scientist Roger
Coghill suggests, in this regard, that "throughout the Balkan region,
there will be an extra 10,150 deaths from cancer because of the use of
DU. That will include local people, K-FOR personnel, aid workers,
everyone."27 Moreover, according to a report published in Athens during
the War, the impacts of depleted uranium are likely to extend beyond the
Balkans. Albania, and Macedonia but also Greece, Italy, Austria and
Hungary face a potential threat to human health as a result of the use
of radioactive depleted uranium shells during the 1999 War.
While no overall data on civilian deaths have been recorded, partial
evidence confirms that a large numbers of civilians have already died as
result of DU radiation since the war in Bosnia:
"DU radiation and an apparent use of defoliants by US/NATO troops
against Serbian land and population [in Bosnia], have caused many birth
defects among babies born after the US/NATO bombing and occupation; the
magnitude of this problem has stunned Serbian medical experts and
panicked the population." 28
A recent account points to several hundred deaths of civilians solely in
one Bosnian village: The village is empty, the cemetery full. Soon there
will
be no more room for the dead. Among refugee families who moved to
Bratunac
from Hadzici [in the outskirts of Sarajevo] there is a hardly a
household not cloaked in mourning.On them are fresh wreaths, some with
flowers that have not
yet wilted. On the crosses the years of death 1998, 1999, 2000 and the
grave of a 20 year-old woman at the end of the rows. She died a few days
ago. No one could even imagine that in only one or two years the part of
the cemetery set aside for civilians would be doubly full. It happens
often that one of the natives of Hadzici will suddenly die. Or they will
go to see the doctor in Belgrade and when they come back their relatives
will tell us that they are dying of cancer. [C]hief doctor Slavica
Jovanovic.conducted an investigation and proved that in 1998 the
mortality rate far exceeded the birth rate. She showed that it wasn't
just a question of fate but something far more serious. 'Zoran
Stankovic, the renowned pathologist from the Military Medical Academy
(VMA) determined that over 200 of his patients from this area died of
cancer, most probably due to the effects of depleted uranium in dropped
NATO bombs five years ago. But someone quickly silenced the public and
everything was hushed up. 'You see, our cemetery is full of fresh graves
while the people from Vinca [Nuclear Institute] claim that uranium isn't
dangerous. What other kind of evidence do you need if people are
dying?.' The refugees from Hadzici arrived in Bratunac in a sizeable
number. There were almost 5,000 of them. There were 1,000 just in the
collective centers. Now, says Zelenovic, 'there are about 600 of them
left. And they certainly had nowhere else to go' . Someone dies of

>SERVANTS OF TWO MASTERS CORPORATION- a discussion with Benjamin Works
>
>Observing results of the recent "democratic revolution", in Serbia, I
realized that this, previously surprisingly courageous and industrious
country, immediately after "revolution" plunged into both economic and
military catastrophe. Impressed by such results I wrote (and distributed
by
e-mail) a pamphlet "Does Serbia turn into Great Albania province?" (See
Attachments). This pamphlet drew the attention of Benjamin Works, the
director of Strategic Issues Research Institute. (Works is a senior US
officer, whose rich biography, and interesting ideas, you can find at
www.siri-us.com). An exchange of our "printed ideas" followed. It turned
out that despite our different cultural backgrounds -- and quite
different
political options -- we have very similar views concerning the
debilization/imbecilization of the world, as well as about The Agency,
which is promoting the wold-wide dumbness.
>For this reason I decided to communicate highlights of our "End of
Millenary" discussion to a larger audience, for it may elucidate several
essential (mis)doings of our "Judeo-Christian" civilization. (Out of
political correctness I dare only to whisper that during my advanced
course
of French at Geneva University, I heard that the word cretin was derived
from chretien, a Christian.) I am fully conscious that this my attempt
to
reach the concerned, larger audience may end up in a similar way as last
November, when due to my "politically incorrect" recurrence to Microsoft
(supposedely joining the people) machine, I was excluded from TEAM
meeting
at Budapest.
>
>---------------------
>
>A more heated exchange of printed ideas with Ben Works followed, when on
January 3 I diffused, by e-mail, a following message found in Ukrainian
weekly "Gart" (The Grit) of October 27, 2000:
>>· SERVANT OF TWO MASTERS. In Belgrade, under the effigy of CIA, the
ruling structures are being de facto demolished. It is the preparation
for
the formal dismembering of this country, which results are difficult to
foresee. The following fact confirms this pattern of events: according
to
information, which came from London, Kostunica, the newly baked
president
of Yugoslavia, already in 70-ties was recruited by English special
services. Now Englishmen sold him to their masters from USA.
>>(I received this issue of "Gart" at Zakopane, for there was published my
speech "The Debilization of Youth as the Condition for the World-Wide
Commercial Integration" [see Attachment in Cyrillic]. This speech I
delivered at the Congress of Slavic Youth, held at Arandzelovac, Serbia,
on
Sept. 9, only two weeks before the program "Imbecilization of Serbs" was
put into action. Recently I was informed that this my speech was
published
also in Serbia, in "Prosvietni pregled" of Dec. 6, 2000. This "Review of
workers in pedagogy" is - as wrote me my friend at Belgrade - at present
in
"new hands". At the occasion my friend added that "Today in Serbia
exists
only 'zapadnizm'" [i.e. only Western views are admitted]. I am afraid
that
people there will soon be convinced that they have to pay the money
spent
by the West for bombs and fuel, which were necessary for "humanitarian
intervention" in 1999...)
>
>Ben Works confirmed the last suggestion, but he put the stress -- which is
characteristic -- not at the technical, but at the human factor, which
is
necessary for activation of "imbecilising" practices of our "techno"
civilization. He wrote:
>>It is true that the western "new-Left" wants to "imbecilize" the young of
the world, but this is not an objective of "America," only a neo-Lysenko
initiative of what we, here, call the "new class" or "meritocracy" that
formed up behind the Clintons. It is what I would characterize as new
Left
"Fascism in Pinstripe Suits." (The term came to me at a conference in
Belgrade last March.) This move to "dumb down" our youth comes from the
media, but not from the makers of products that make people more self
reliant. The PC, auto, chain saw and tools make people more self-reliant
and less "dependent."
>
>To which I answered:
>>Media appliances are the same industrial products as the PC, auto, chain
saw and other tools. And in general all these technical facilities
create
the dependence, which is not different from the narcotic one. This is
the
essence of Lamarck's postulated Law of Biology, which Law neo-Darwinian
fake scientists are trying to conceal from our sight. In this branch of
Life Science I do specialize since 25 years.
>
>As the alleged "servant of two masters" obedience of the new president of
Yugoslavia, my respondent denied it, basing himself on his personal
contacts with Kostunica's friends at Belgrade. He added:
>> I personally respect Pres. Kostunica because he took the time to
translate "The Federalist Papers" into Serbian. That is no easy task and
requires love of liberty. On the other hand it is easy to argue that
Zoran
Djindjic, the "Robespierre" of Belgrade is a cypher for Germany.
>
>To which I answered:
>>That's an intermediate proof that Kostunica works for NWO. Otherwise he
wouldn't be selected, at Budapest Marriott hotel already in October 1999
(during a meeting with CIA representatives) as candidate for presidency
of
Yugoslavia. (See: "How Washington Bought Yugoslav Presidency," - TiM
Bulletin of Dec 26, 2000.) ...This "freedom loving" Kostunica hired
himself
as a mobile dummy, in whose shadow your "Fascist in Pinstripe Suits"
realized the goal, which they missed during 1999 NATO bombing session.
As
observed it recently Belgian journalist Michel Collon, "Kostunica is
becoming 'chryzantemic president', which after use will be (like this
"Russian cretin" Gorby) put into wardrobe".
>
>Our "exchange of printed ideas", concerning the Serbia's future, became
more vivid. To my suggestion of "Albanization" of this country B.W.
answered:
>>Here is much in what you wrote about the danger of Serbia deteriorating
to the level of Albania, or even to the somewhat less degenerate level
of
Romania-Bulgaria. ...(Nevertheless) There are many demonstrated
successes
to draw from, including Taiwan, Korea, Singapore, Chile, Peru and El
Salvador.
>
>This optimistic supposition I commented in a following way:
>>All these countries were permitted -- and even directed -- towards a
rapid industrial growth, in order to tame communist influence, or inside
them, or at their borders. Once "red danger" was removed by other means,
they shall undergo a rapid disindustralization process. It started
already
at Malaysia (with the Soros attack at its banking system) and is
continuing
in South Corea (with the crash of Daewoo Group; I read that this recent
crash was organized by "feemarketing" General Motors Corp.). For me it
is
evident that in case communists will be entirely smashed inside Serbia
(and
in its vicinity) there will be no reasons to (re)develop any industry in
this country: NATO bombings were in large extend directed against
Serbian
hitech enterprises, which in other countries (like Poland) were
literally
wiped-out by the "shock therapy", similar to this proposed by Serbian
G-17
(surely Soros sponsored) group.
>
>B.W. answered:
>> While what you wrote about Soros -- who very publicly has identified his
predilection for a mercantilist social-democrat, regulatory universalism
--
is true, it is not the whole story. As to Daewoo, GM only came in late
in
the game of the breakup of what had become an unworkable conglomerate
(etc.).
>
>At the end of a longer analysis of conglomerates/corporations doings and
wrongdoings B.W. remarked:
>> ITT, notorious for its attempts to undermine Pinochet's regime, has been
broken up, sold off and no longer exists.
>
>To which I answered:
>> You mentioned that ITT was at work while the destruction of Allende's
regime was accomplished. I do think that actual, lasting already 11
years,
destruction of Yugoslavia is the product of informal "Owners of the
Planet
Corp." (OPC). To this nebulous clique belong all these Clintons,
Albraights, Soros, Libermans and others, including Bildberg Group and
even
Vatican's top hierarchy. Most of these people, as you observed it with
justice, are former Marxists (precisely Trotskists) who traded their
earlier convictions for positions of corporate "free-enterprizing"
serfs.
>
>I added also some critics of B.W. proposed plan of re-development of Serbia:
>>After a reflection I've noticed that your program of re-developing of
Serbia (by appealing to the free enterprising spirit of population, and
to
democracy "from the bottom up" - see www.siri-us.com) was already
realized
-- up to details -- by the Milosevic regime after NATO bombings.
(Milosevic
in his youth worked temporarily in USA as bank clerk.) After these
bombings
I visited Serbia three times, and I was surprised how liberal this
country
was (in Belgrade there were 16 private broadcasting stations!). Only few
media (but, that's true, the best selling ones) were in regime's hands.
In
state hands was also electricity and fuel supply, which were so heavily
damaged by bombs dropped by "free enterprising" US pilots. But these
large
sized industries have practically nothing in common with
free-enterprising,
individualist spirit. Now they will be "raped" -- together with other
important riches of this country -- by freely enterprising in Serbia,
Western sponsors of local "opposition". Moreover, in contrary to your
intentions, under the supervised by CIA/OPC conglomerate, newly baked
"democratic" regime in Serbia, no liberty is possible, especially for
these, who intend to hinder the colonial plundering of the country. For
example, the new Serbian communist "Korak" party was banned from
participation in elections, only two days before the Dec. 23 vote; the
former director of best-selling journal "Politika" was forced to seek
political asylum as far as Cuba!
>
>Finally, we exchanged our "printed ideas" about the essential, strategic
issues of present Western civilization. B.W. wrote:
>>.Further, you piqued my interest with the French paper on Biblical roots
of globalized trade.
>
>I answered:
>>A friend of mine, professor of religion sciences, Vladimir Pawluczuk says
that ideas of free trade democracy are trivial projections of Judaism
onto
the modern civilization. (He says also that Marxism differs only by a
hair
from Confucianism.) I think that there we have to look for roots of our
enchantment with technical progress. This progress is considered, by
Soros
like people, only as the "Lord's deceit", bringing the Promised Land to
His
(Chosen) People. As writes it French historian of science Pierre
Thuiller,
Greek word "technos" means a "deceit". So we are prisoners of the
Civilization of Deceit, which many confuse with "progress". Thinking
logically, we necessarily are (mentally at least) caught in a the trap,
our
Founding Fathers constructed out of their shortsightedness. (This
situation
is similar to the one in Old Israel 2000 years ago, whose population was
trapped in illusions produced centuries earlier by this country blind
prophets.) In attachment I send you these papers in French about
Biblical
roots of the Hyperbourgois rise to power.
>
>Later I added:
>> The present Hyperbourgois Super-Society (name used by Alexander
Zinoviev) has interesting other denominations: people linked with
LaRuche's
"Schiller's Institute" call it Coalition of Global Investors, and I
coined
this suggestive term OPC - "Owners of the Planet Corp.". Of course,
these
illustrious "pastors of mankind" purposefully make people dumb, for it
is
easier to parasite on highly domesticated, debilitated "sheep" than to
dominate (as Bible demands it) a herd of mountain "goats". (Such
undomesticated, "Edomite" sub-species are, according to Bible
prophecies,
by its very nature evil, and thus doomed to extermination). And that's,
in
my opinion, the whole "natural philosophy" of the Modern West, which
philosophy is narrowly copied from pages of Old Testament.
>
>At that point my discussion with Ben Works about essentials was suspended.
If you find it interesting enough, do not hesitate to reply, and/or to
redirect it to people concerned. Do not forget about Attachments in
English, Russian and French.

>Orwell 2000 in Serbia
>
>I found an excellent attachment to my "Servants of Two Masters Corp."
letter, which I mailed on Jan. 8. It is an article about details of
recent
Serbia's elections, which I received, on Jan. 9, thanks to Italian group
"La Jugoslavia vivra". In my letter I wrote how important, for the
oncoming
commercial integration of the Globe, is the appropriate imbecilization
of
the youth. And the article "Orwell 2000 in Serbia" -- which I recopied
below -- shows in detail how the politically active (but not thinking
too
much) youth, appropriately drugged with "planetary wisdom", was (ab)used
for the purpose of the recent NWO onslaught on this tiny country. (To
quote
Aleksandar Djaja,
>the author of the text below:
>>Never during the past ten years' [and, possibly, during even a much
longer] period, has appeared in this region a political organization,
based
on the abuse of minors for political purposes, and wrapped in a
seemingly
benign, teenage-intellectual wrapping foil, such as the one named
OTPOR.)
>
>This Otpor organization Serbian socialists called (until Sept. 24)
"Madleine (Albraight) Jugend", and I named Otpor's forerunners, which
were
active already during 1996/97 student revolt at Belgrade, "Soros
Jugend":
so heavily they were sponsored by Soros Fundation, and by American
National
Endowment for Democracy Fund (NED).
>
>To those, who are interested in (post) modern techniques of civic
education, one thing is startling: it is the easiness, with which both
slogans and symbols ("clenched fist") of classic, ultra leftist
(anticapitalist, antinationalist and antimilitarist) movement, were
intercepted for the purpose of imposition in Serbia of the Authority of
IMF, World's Bank, Multinationals, and of course of CIA and NATO. (One
Slovakian weekly deciphered recently this last abbreviation, as
"National
American Terrorist Organization". Such deciphering is confirmed by an
observation, that NATO and OTPOR convey the similar "free enterprising"
terrorist spirit, which spirit is fed from the same financial source.)
>
>The text, which is reprinted below, shall be compared with the assertion
of Beniamin Works, with whom I discussed in my last letter. In his
siri-us.com Bulletin of Jan. 1, I found such an optymist view:
>>It should be our objective as friends of Yugoslavia to defend the
sovereignty of states that derive their powers from the consent of the
People; to encourage free trade, free enterprise and free property. We
have
already committed to free speech and free elections (in this country).
>
>Post Scriptum. Observing difficulties, which NATO has in justifying the
use of depleted uranium shells in Bosnia and Kosovo, I found a very good
explanation of this recent NATO's, surely involuntary, misadventure. My
explication is modeled at explications of other similar mishaps at
Balkans,
which were habitually given by high NATO officers (and today also by DOS
and OTPOR activists): it is evident, all these illnesses caused by
depleted
uranium are due to Milosevic plot! Simply, this dictator's agents
secretly
substituted "ecologically friendly" shells with pure DU (similar to the
one
shown recently by George Robertson at Brussels) by shells with uranium
contaminated with its highly radioactive isotope! (In all evidence in
this
ignominious plot were involved Italian communists from the group "La
Jugoslavia vivra", which infiltrated American Aviano Air Base.) Such
discovery would be one more indication that it is necessary to
incarcerate
Milosevic immediately, before this monster contaminates, with not
purified
enough DU, the whole planet. And of course, the polluting unprepared
brains
(with its "Orwelian stories" of recent freedom imposition at Belgrade)
"La
Jugoslavia vivra" group in Italy should be delegalized, and banned from
access to internet devices. The proposed above, satisfactory explanation
of
"Balcan Syndrome" would mean (for CIA professionals) two magnificent
political "shots" from one one US DU military dud!
