I pretty much had to see Avatar despite major kinds of ideological misgivings...
Aside from anything else, I had a funny sort of a feeling of deja-vu watching the thing. A small, innocent, naive, and spiritually oriented nation of some kind has something which some sort of a great power wants, and some ultimate high-tech military organization gets turned loose on them... Where have I heard that story before?? I mean, the only thing wrong with the analogy was that the Pandorans in the film weren't really getting ****ed over badly enough for the analogy to really work. For instance, they didn't get any petrochemical plants (like Pancevo) bombed out so as to dump hundreds of tons of toxic chemicals into their most major river or have their entire civilian infrastructure bombed out...
It occurs to me that somebody needs to make a movie about the Kosovo operation and tell this hideous story to the American public; they've never really heard the story.
It starts with environmental whackos shutting down every sort of oil drilling or refining operation in the great power for 40 years and the great power's rulers wanting to appease the geriatric lunatic ruler of Saudi Arabia, who wants the sacred heart of the innocent small nation as a toehold for Islam in Southern Europe. That could be scene one.
Scene two could show a perverted psychopath of some sort being elected president of the great power and subsequently needing to take credible allegations of rape and sales of nuclear weapon secrets to the Chinese off of newspaper headlines. Scene two could also show 30 general officers leaving the great power's military and being replaced by people more in tune with the times...
Scene three could show the American and NATO militaries trying to bomb Kosovo from 25,000' for three or four weeks before realizing that they could not harm the small country's military from Earth orbit. It could then show the psychopath general in charge of the operation determining to embark upon an entire campaign of war crimes, bombing out the entire civilian infrastructure of the small country.
Somewhere in the film early on, you'd have to show the myriad Orthodox churches and monasteries in the disputed territory, and the simple beauty of the religion they represented, and you'd have to show the animalistic nature of the people which the great power was using as faux victims in the propaganda war it was using to justify the operation..
You'd have to show the damage caused by the operation...
Such a film would have to devote at least two or three minutes to the case of Milica Rakic:
At three years of age when she was killed by a NATO/KKKlintonista bomb hundreds of kilometers from anything remotely resembling a legal military target, Milica likely has the dubious distinction of being SlicKKK KKKlinton's youngest female victim. The other image you see of Milica:
indicates that she has since become a martyr of the Orthodox church. The film should say something about that putting both KKKlintons and the entire group of people responsible for the operation into the history books on the same page as the people who burned Joan of Arc. The movie should also say something about Sanja Milenkovic.
The movie would also have to show the albanian "kosovars" driving everybody else out of the province and destroying all of the 1400 churches and monasteries, and then turning the place into the crime hub of Southern Europe, drugs, human trafficking, stolen vehicles and what not, and you'd have to show the connection between the KLA and Al Quaeda.
I mean, the American public really needs to see this story and it may actually be that a movie would be the best possible way for that to happen. Russia at least has a film-making industry and you wouldn't have to destroy anything which hadn't already been destroyed in order to make such a film, the war operation scenes could be largely made from archive film like Victory at Sea was.
There is also evidence that some of the Kosovo Serbs were kidnapped in 1999 and taken to Albania by the KLA Albanians, where their vital organs were taken from them and sold on the blackmarket for illegal transplants.
I think you're right. I now think he picked Palin because he and his team calculated that a strong conservative woman would really kill his chances. But she surprised them with her popularity, precisely because they don't get it, and tried to undermine her when they realized she was carrying the whole ticket. I am certain that she drew at minimum five million more votes than he would have gotten without her.
And after the fact, a bi-Partisan team of (eventually over 35, mostly Republican) members of Congress sued Clinton for the NATO Bombing of Yugoslavia, as it was un-Constituional. Tom Tancredo was one of them, as was Ron Paul, but the news never picked up on it.
It was John McCain who made a name for himself on the NATO Bombing of Yugoslavia because before this few people outside of Arizona knew his name.
I’ve taken a look at the one little 30-minute documentary a couple of posters here have suggested, but that doesn’t begin to tell the story as I’ve read it. Like I say there has to be some way for the average American to see this.
The Russians (who may be wrong on many things but not on this) made a film about Kosovo that is on youtube in 7 parts.
But to get films like this made and shown to a general American audience is difficult. The money isn't there and those films that have gotten made play to small audiences because neither the media networks nor PBS will touch it. It's un-pc.
In many ways, I feel like it is we in the US who are living in the old Soviet Union when it comes to the subject of Kosovo.
the folks who claim they do and reject the proNATO/US line are pro-communists.
NOPE— not at all.
There are many of us “folks” who reject NATO’s bombing of an ally like Serbia and who are very pro US, just not the direction it has taken over the years, politically and morally.
IN this post modern surreal age we live in...you need to understand that the US - policies do not represent the best interests of Christians and free markets.
Basically, any Christian who doesn’t have a problem with NATO policies in the Balkans hasn’t been paying attention.
Besides the oil games....General Weaseley Clark expressed the new age approach to world hegemony. During the bombing of Serbia the weasel said this:
“There is no place in modern Europe for ethnically pure states. That’s a 19th-century idea and we are trying to transition into the 21st century, and we are going to do it with multiethnic states.”
That’s right. the NWO coming fast...and everybody but Muslim states needs to abide by its rules.
During the Cold War, you couldn't have found a more pro-Tito, pro-Communist group than our own US State Department. Anyone who said anything against communism in Yugoslavia, was considered by them to be "a troublemaker" -- even 500 US Airmen who wanted to honor the anti-communist Serbs who saved them during WWII, were treated like pariahs.
But once the Soviet Union died, both Great Britain (who actually installed communism in Yugoslavia) and the US State Department who supported it, shed their responsibility like a snake sheds its skin and they blamed the Serbs for everything.
But today, there are a lot of people on both the Right and the Left who reject NATO because they believe that it is the military arm of the New World Order. After what I have seen with Kosovo, I can't say that I disagree.
My own view of the thing might be simpler than most of that. I simply do not want my tax dollars being used to bomb Christians for the sake of slammites, and that goes quadruple or quintuple when the Christians are totally innocent and the slammites a hoard of narco-terrorist savages with a political organization which is basically a branch office of AlQuaeda.
I couldn't have said that better myself.
