On Wednesday, October 27, Michael Moore will visit Fairmont WV (population 18,000) with a public college (Fairmont State) with 6,500 students, as part of his 60-city "Slacker Tour" which is in reality a series of anti-Bush political rallies paid for by the 60 colleges. The fee for coming here is $20,000, but he has received $35-40,000 at other colleges, so that he will be paid over $2,000,000 to spread his hateful and powerful propaganda. Info on the Michael Moore propaganda visit to Fairmont State and the patriotic pro-Bush counter-rally preceding the event: ***************************** The Moore event, part of FSU's so-called...

Once again the fuse of an ethnic explosion is smoldering. After the decade of the Yugoslav succession wars that cost the lives of almost 300,000 ...

No Way! There's a little problem in the Balkans and it is worsening, rapidly. Some American readers may not know this yet, but the US is now enmired in a nasty little guerrilla war in the Balkans.

CARLA'S PRIMITIVE MYTHOLOGY AND ATAVISM DISGUISED AS "JUSTICE" March 6, 2001 R. K. Kent Emeritus Professor of History University of California at Berkeley Unable to get her way in Belgrade, Carla del Ponte is turning on the heat via media publicity. She calls President Kostunica "a man of the past." She accuses him of the cardinal sin of "Nationalism." She claims to have met some "promising Serbs" in Belgrade but Serbs on the whole just do not have it in them to join the "International Community" by admitting their"collective guilt," just as the Germans did after losing the war ...

www.rockfordinstitute.org INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT: CLINTON'S FRANKENSTEIN by Srdja Trifkovic For years the Clinton/Gore administration has been in the forefront of efforts to create international quasi-judicial bodies - such as the Yugoslav war crimes "tribunal" at The Hague - that could be manipulated AT WILL and used as auxiliary tools of diplomatic decision-making in Washington. The proponents of foreign interventionism, such as Secretary of State Albright, rather liked the façade of pseudo-legal propriety that could be invoked to rationalize and justify their unilateral political acts. All along, of course, they rejected any thought of being subjected to the judgment of similar ...

MILITARY RIFT ERUPTS OVER KOSOVO NATO COMMANDER, PENTAGON WRANGLE OVER USE OF TROOPS By John Diamond Washington Bureau March 1, 2000 WASHINGTON -- Concern that U.S. military forces bear the heaviest burden in Kosovo underlies a high-level military rift that emerged Tuesday with lawmakers and top Pentagon officials on one side and the U.S. commander in Europe on the other. Gen. Wesley Clark, the U.S. Army general who is also NATO's military commander, defended his leadership of the 38,000-member Kosovo peacekeeping force and his decision in mid-February to include 350 U.S. troops in an emergency deployment responding to trouble in ...

Is the KLA's and Clinton's "Final Solution" Near in Kosovo to Rid the Area of Serbs? Only Kofi Annan Opposes Clinton's and the KLA's "Final Solution" For Serbs in Kosovo By: Mary Mostert, Analyst, Original Sources (www.originalsources.com) October 18, 1999 I should have known that there had been a news item I missed when Ralph wrote me another scathing e-mail Saturday, which didn't seem to be connected with anything I had written, which said: Hitler and his Nazis believed in the BIG LIE. In other words make up some preposterous tale and repeat it again and again until some people ...

Spanish Experts Shoot NATO in its Logic Comments concerning the Spanish forensic scientists who were sent to Kosovo by NATO to find evidence of Serbian genocide, and didn't. by Jared Israel (revised 10-7-99) I've been reading mass grave stories in the New York Times for most of a day. I hope to write a detailed analysis soon, but meanwhile, here are a few observations: * You would expect these stories to be horrifying. What is surprising is that they are so repetitious - using the same phrases - that reading them is exhausting. * The articles are often written in ...

Clinton’s Policy Turns Serbs Against "Democracy" Milosevic Is Outwitting Clinton - Again By Mary Mostert, Analyst, Originalsources.com October 11, 1999 The New York Times lead story today, by Steven Lee Myers, headed "Serbs Aid" reports: "With winter fast approaching, the United States and its allies are deeply divided over whether to increase the isolation of Yugoslavia and its leader, Slobodan Milosevic, or to offer some aid to ease the hardship of Serbs in the hope of encouraging a more vital opposition." Prior to today's meeting of the European Union's 15 foreign ministers in Luxembourg, the Clinton Administration expressed strong ...

Liar, Liar by George Szamuely New York Press 10/5/99 It is hard to match the United States for mendacity and cruelty. The other day The Washington Post ran a story informing us that the "Clinton Administration increasingly sees [Kosovo’s] secession as inevitable." This was hardly a shocking revelation. To be sure, such an outcome would violate UN Security Council Resolution 1244, which speaks of the "commitment of all member states to the sovereignty and the territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia." But the United States has been violating the Resolution from the beginning. Kosovo already has its ...

San Francisco Bay Guardian (www.sfbayguardian.com) September 29, 1999 On the road to Kosovo Yugoslavs are paying the price for NATO's war. By Patricia Axelrod 'CRISPY CRITTERS,' corpses cooked to near cremation. Ex-U.S. soldier Selina Perez, who buried the Iraqi dead of Desert Storm, called them "crispy critters." These were people whose blood boiled and evaporated. Their uniforms burned away with the skin down to naked, blackened bones, leaving vacantly staring charcoaled skeletons brittle enough to break up into skull, torso, legs, arms, and ashes. Calling these people "crispy critters" was Selina's way of dealing with the horror of disposing ...

The Washington Post OPINION Indicted For War Crimes, Then What? By Michael Scharf Sunday, October 3, 1999; Page B01 On May 22, Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic became the first sitting head of state in history to be indicted by an international tribunal when he was charged with committing war crimes and crimes against humanity in Kosovo. The indictment--which does not charge him with genocide--was accompanied by an international arrest warrant for Milosevic. Yet more than four months later, there is no sign of any real effort to bring him to trial. And no one should expect that Milosevic will= be ...

Journalism: Be There, See It, Get the Facts and Present them Accurately The Serbs Will fight for their homeland, their Christian faith, their families and their freedom By Mary Mostert, Analyst, Original Sources (www.originalsources.com) September 28, 1999 The hallmark of good reporting, when I was learning the trade, could be summed up in one sentence: "Be there, see it, get the facts and present them accurately." If a reporter CAN’T be there, and CAN’T get the facts, is it acceptable to take second and third hand stories and report them as facts? No. A reporter is supposed to report what ...

New House Hearings on Kosovo by Karen Talbot The International Relations Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives is holding a hearing on Kosovo Tuesday, September, 28,1999. I urge everyone to contact members of the Committee to let them know about our outrage over the U.S./NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, with its death, destruction and terrible aftermath of radiation from depleted uranium weapons, the thousands of cluster bomblets scattered across the countryside, and the appalling long-lasting destruction of the environment. Children have been the first victims and will continue to die and suffer under the harsh economic sanctions imposed on ...

Benjamin C. Works, Executive Director --Speak the Truth and Shame the Devil-- SIT-REP 9-11; Saturday, September 11, 1999 In This Report: The Timor Crisis-II; Dagestan; Kosovo- It's a Duck Sermonette: Fama volat. "Rumor flies." - Virgil; The Aeneid; III, l 121 Kindly remember that though the term is used pejoratively by Clinton and other proponents of "The Third Way," Nationalism is both the anti-thesis to homogenizing imperialism and to a categorizing sectionalism-ethnicism. Nationalism usually is a unifying and patriotic impulse, a positive force that builds polities. Xenophobia and chauvinism are the negative forces of "divide and rule," which lead ...

Kosovo: They're killing grannies, for God's sake! Albanian gangsters are killing grandmothers in their apartments! And shooting at Gypsy women in the streets. The Kosovo catalog of horrors continues to swell, far eclipsing the sum of crimes committed by Serb vigilantes and criminals. KLA ethnic-cleansing of all other minorities is so completely out of hand that last Tueseday, even Radio Free Europe has found it advisable to issue a report on persecution of the Gorani Slavic Muslim community, right under the noses of the Turkish K-For Battalion (The text of that report is attached to the website edition of this ...
