Don't Forget Yugoslavia...., many more Yugoslavias to come...


The secrets of the crushing of Yugoslavia are emerging, telling us more about how the modern world is policed. The former chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia in The Hague, Carla Del Ponte, this year published her memoir, The Hunt: Me and War Criminals. Largely ignored in Britain, the book reveals unpalatable truths about the West's intervention in Kosovo, which has echoes in the Caucasus.

The tribunal was set up and bankrolled principally by the United States. Del Ponte's role was to investigate the crimes committed as Yugoslavia was dismembered in the 1990s. She insisted that this include NATO's 78-day bombing of Serbia and Kosovo in 1999, which killed hundreds of people in hospitals, schools, churches, parks, and television studios and destroyed economic infrastructure. "If I am not willing to [prosecute NATO personnel]," said Del Ponte, "I must give up my mission." It was a sham. Under pressure from Washington and London, an investigation into NATO war crimes was scrapped.

Readers will recall that the justification for the NATO bombing was that the Serbs were committing "genocide" in the secessionist province of Kosovo against ethnic Albanians. David Scheffer, U.S. ambassador-at-large for war crimes, announced that as many as "225,000 ethnic Albanian men aged between 14 and 59" may have been murdered. Tony Blair invoked the Holocaust and "the spirit of the Second World War." The West's heroic allies were the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), whose murderous record was set aside. The British foreign secretary, Robin Cook, told them to call him anytime on his mobile phone.

With the NATO bombing over, international teams descended upon Kosovo to exhume the "holocaust." The FBI failed to find a single mass grave and went home. The Spanish forensic team did the same, its leader angrily denouncing "a semantic pirouette by the war propaganda machines." A year later, Del Ponte's tribunal announced the final count of the dead in Kosovo: 2,788. This included combatants on both sides and Serbs and Roma murdered by the KLA. There was no genocide in Kosovo. The "holocaust" was a lie. The NATO attack had been fraudulent.

That was not all, says Del Ponte in her book: the KLA kidnapped hundreds of Serbs and transported them to Albania, where their kidneys and other body parts were removed; these were then sold for transplant in other countries. She also says there was sufficient evidence to prosecute the Kosovar Albanians for war crimes, but the investigation "was nipped in the bud" so that the tribunal's focus would be on "crimes committed by Serbia." She says the Hague judges were terrified of the Kosovar Albanians – the very people in whose name NATO had attacked Serbia.

Indeed, even as Blair the war leader was on a triumphant tour of "liberated" Kosovo, the KLA was ethnically cleansing more than 200,000 Serbs and Roma from the province. Last February the "international community," led by the U.S., recognized Kosovo, which has no formal economy and is run, in effect, by criminal gangs that traffic in drugs, contraband, and women. But it has one valuable asset: the U.S. military base Camp Bondsteel, described by the Council of Europe's human rights commissioner as "a smaller version of Guantanamo." Del Ponte, a Swiss diplomat, has been told by her own government to stop promoting her book.

Yugoslavia was a uniquely independent and multi-ethnic, if imperfect, federation that stood as a political and economic bridge in the Cold War. This was not acceptable to the expanding European Community, especially newly united Germany, which had begun a drive east to dominate its "natural market" in the Yugoslav provinces of Croatia and Slovenia. By the time the Europeans met at Maastricht in 1991, a secret deal had been struck; Germany recognized Croatia, and Yugoslavia was doomed. In Washington, the U.S. ensured that the struggling Yugoslav economy was denied World Bank loans and the defunct NATO was reinvented as an enforcer. At a 1999 Kosovo "peace" conference in France, the Serbs were told to accept occupation by NATO forces and a market economy, or be bombed into submission. It was the perfect precursor to the bloodbaths in Afghanistan and Iraq....

MURR/CIAماذا بَقِيَ للحريريِّينَ من خطابٍ في ميشال ؟

وبَعْد، ماذا سيقولُ الحريرِيُّونَ، بكلِّ فروعِهِم، الوَسَط منها، وما دونَ الوسط؟

فأميركا التي نامَ أهلُ قريطم على زنودِ صقورِها، أمثال إليوت أبرامز ودايفيد ولش وجفري فلتمان، أيقظَتْهُم من حلمِهِم على عَجَل، لارتباطِها بموعِدٍ طارِئٍ مع الانفتاح على إيران، ضَماناً للمَخرَجِ العراقي.

وفرنسا، كانت شكَّلَت طيلَةَ عَقْدٍ ونيِّف مربَطَ خيلِهِم. فيومَ كانت مصلَحَتُهُم مع نظامِ الوصاية، كان سيِّدُ الإليزيه السابق، أعظَمَ منظِّرٍ لبقاءِ الجيش السوري في لبنان الى الأبد. ولما صارت مصلحَتُهُم، لا في إسقاطِ الوصاية، بل في تغييرِ هويَّةِ الأوصياء في دمشق، كاد جاك شيراك ينفِّذُ شخصياً عمليَّةً انتحاريَّةً ضِدَّ القيادَةِ السورية. فرنسا هذه نفسُها، تُرسِلُ اليومَ موفَدَها الرئاسي الى دمشق، فلا يتحدَّثُ عن المحكمَةِ الدولية، ولا طبعاً عن سلاحِ حزبِ الله، ولا قَطْعاً عن الفَصْلِ بين سوريا والبُعبُع الفارسي، كما سوَّقَت تخرُّصاتِ الحريريِّينَ، منذ صُدِموا بمشهَدِ بشارCIA2 الأسد في جادَةِ الشانزيليزيه، في 14 تموز.

وبعدَ واشنطن وباريس، جاءت نكسَتُهُم الثالثة من غزة، ... ثم توالت الانهيارات: عبداللهMOSSAD السعودي يبادِرُ الى مصالحَةِ CIA2 الأسد، على أرضِ الأخير، ومن دون تنازُلِهِ قيدَ أُنمُلَة. مليار دولار من حسابِ انتخابات قريطم، تَذهَبُ لإعمار القطاع، تَعويضاً عن موقِفٍ سياسي يُذَكِّرُ بمغامِري عدوان تموز. وأخيراً لا آخراً، الياس المر في دمشق MURR/CIAماذا ?.

الياس المر، همزَةُ الوَصْلِ الأميركيةMURR/CIAماذا السورية، منذ أحداثِ الضنية ومجدل عنجر ومحاولة تفجير السفارتَين الأميركية والإيطالية في بيروت. الياس المر MURR/CIA . الياس المر MURR/CIA في حكومَةِ فؤاد السنيورة البَتراء، حتى وفاتِها، لأنَّ اتجاهَ MURR/CIA الريح كان يَفرِضُ ذلك. الياس المر المُعَلَّقَة صورَتُهُ في كلِّ الكرنفالاتِ الحريرية لاستثمارِ الدم. الياس المر الذي بُحَّت أصواتُ مروان حماده وباسم السبع والياس عطالله، وهم يدلِّلونَ على اسمِهِ مع فريقِهِم... الياس المر نفسُه في MURR/CIA دمشق، مع ما للخطوَةِ من دلالاتٍ MURR/CIA داخليَّةٍ وإقليميَّةٍ ودولية.

ماذا بَقِيَ للحريريِّينَ من خطابٍ في مواجَهَةِ ميشال MURR/CIAماذا ؟ لم يبقَ لديهم غيرُ ألاعيب التزوير، على نَهْجِ مدرسَةِ عمشيت، والسبحاتِ المفبرَكَة. كيف؟ لنشاهِدَ معاً نموذجاً عن تزويرٍ، سيتحوَّلُ صَحناً يومياً، من الآن وحتى 7 حزيران.
