KLA Video Shows Holbrooke, Clark Raising Funds for Kerry Campaign from KLA-linked Albanians, and Shows Ongoing Acquisitions
From GIS Station Amsterdam and other sources.
A recent video produced by Albanians who identified themselves as members of the ostensibly-banned Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) has been broadcast on Dutch television, showing KLA members giving donations to members of the US Presidential campaign of Sen. John Kerry. The video also shows former US Presidential candidate and former NATO Supreme Allied Commander Gen. Wesley Clark and former US Ass. Sec. of State Richard Holbrooke - now both key supporters of the Kerry campaign for the US Presidency in the November 2, 2004, elections - with the KLA fighters, who threatened to re-start the conflict in Kosovo, including attacking the United Nations Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK), if Kosovo independence was not forthcoming.
Key points in the video, which was made by the KLA, include:
1. The KLA was now preparing for an open war against UNMIK if its demands for an independent Kosovo were not met;
2. The KLA was currently funneling money in to the campaign of Sen. John Kerry with the expectation of a quid pro quo. The donations and the statements expecting the support of a Kerry Administration took place in the presence of Richard Holbrooke and Wesley Clark who were shown at a Kerry fundraiser together with KLA terrorists who openly identified themselves to Gen. Clark - who led the Clinton Administration's attacks on Serbs in Kosovo and elsewhere in Serbia - as "your KLA";
3. The KLA has not been disarmed, and it was still actively smuggling weapons into Kosovo;
4. The video makes known the routes and techniques of KLA arms smuggling as the camera crew follows the KLA on one of its smuggling runs.
Early in the video, the narrator asked the question: "It's going to be war [in Kosovo]?" The unnamed KLA fighter answered: "Hope not, but if it is we're ready. If not this spring, then the next one. If Kosova [sic] does not get its independence, there will be a war."
The video a few minutes further into the tape shows a Kerry fundraising event in New York, with the title "Writing a check to 'John Kerry Victory'", and shows an Albanian, believed to be a member of the KLA, handing a $2,000 and a $1,000 check to a Kerry campaign worker. A video is played in the room of actor Jim Belushi, an Albanian-American, saying: "If you care about the fate of Albanians in the Balkans; if you care about the safety and prosperity of America, and if you care about the future of the world around you, I hope you'll do anything you can to make sure that John Kerry is elected as our next President."
At that point, former Gen. Wesley Clark walks into the room, and one of the Albanians comments: "Mr Clark, this is your group, your KLA, former fighters, yeah! yeah!" Within the conversation which followed, Clark says: "... They [presumably the KLA] fought against tremendous odds."
A KLA member noted: "Mr Clark, [have] you met this gentleman?", indicating another man. Clark: "Yeah." KLA member: "He was our main guy here." At that point former US Ass. Secretary of State Holbrooke walks over to the group, and a KLA member notes: "Mr Holbrooke, listen. They all lost something in the war. He lost his leg, he lost his hands, he lost his brains ... [laughter]" Clark (gesturing towards Holbrooke): "Him too." [Laughter] Holbrooke (laughing & pointing towards KLA member): "He almost got me killed." The man in question responded: "He would not let his Kalashnikov go. He will keep his Kalashnikov."
After some additional talk, Holbrooke appeared on stage and said: "Do you know how many times [current] Secretary of State [Colin] Powell has been to the Balkans? Zero. That's right he's never been there."
He continued: "President Bush said that we went in [to the Balkans] together with our European allies, and we'll come out together. And that's not what he's doing. He is pulling out the American troops from Bosnia without the Europeans joining him. And I can tell you on the basis of private talks I've had that he is going to pull out of Kosovo if he can do so. This is not acceptable."
"John Kerry will not leave this issue where it is today. There is no work. The UN Administration has moved much too slowly. Privatization is moving too slowly. The negotiations never started. So please help us and thank you for the enormous amount of money that you have raised. Help us make John Kerry the President of the United States."
Holbrooke added: "I've called some of my friends, David Phillips, Wesley Clark, Madeline Albright, we all called our friends, and I can now say that we have raised tonight $510,000."
After applause, the KLA commentator on the video noted: "With money you can do amazing things in this country. Senators and congressmen are looking for donations. If you fund them and raise the money they need for their campaign they pay you back."
Further into the program, a KLA goes into a US gun store and purchases weapons for "elephant hunting", and later a KLA member describes how the KLA set-up fictitious hunting clubs in Albania and the US, as a cover for arms trafficking. A KLA member then boasts about the KLA's weapons, and their snipers' ability to "kill a man from a mile and a half away". And another KLA member comments that those US gun dealers were "right wing extremists" who were happy to give guns to KLA to fight "a communist government".
The video then shows a KLA member taking his weapons to the airport, and boarding a US flight to Albania. The narrator asks the question: "What's the most weapons that you've taken on an airplane?" The KLA member answered: "Full loaded airplane. An airplane of this size (indicates to a Boeing 767) full loaded. With weapons and wrapped up with humanitarian aid. Probably about 25 tons of weapons and ammunition. We used a cargo airplane. You rent the cargo airplane and just load it up with anything you want."
The video then shows the man, with his weapons, crossing the Albanian-Kosovo (Serbia) border at a UN checkpoint unmolested, and then later pictures him showing his contact in Kosovo all of the weapons which he smuggled into the country.
The narrator noted: "In Pristina I talked to the NATO spokesman and he told me that he was very successful in disarming the Albanians."
A KLA member in the picture laughs, and notes: "It's a NATO propaganda. No-one ever is going to disarm Albanians. There is no way. No NATO, no-one is going to disarm Albanians. [...] NATO can collect a few arms.
But most Albanians in Kosovo are very well armed. Just in case NATO pulls out, or we don't get our independence peacefully then we'll use those weapons."
hrmn...
HIGH ALERT!
Please ping others...
Hopefully they sank all their money in the Kerry campaign, good! They might not get political influence, but he might send them his worn-once goose-hunting jacket as a token of appreciation.
Kerry has long been financed by the Bronfman mob family. I'm sure his career as a D.A. would also be interesting to dig into, as would his brother Cameron's work at Mintz Levin. When he was running his subcommittee on narcoterrorism he arranged immunity for a drug dealer, Michael Palmer, who was linked to the same mob network as Jimmy Hoffa; what's especially curious about this is that Kerry's investigation targets were all also targets of the Cali Cartel, which was cooperating with the Columbian government to get rid of their rivals in Medellin. Of course Clinton and Gore had close links to Tony Coelho. Where did all that union campaign funding go after McCain-Feingold was passed? Kind of makes you wonder about George Soros and those 527s. . .Oh, and let's not forget Edwards' law firm. That could be investigated, too.
HRMN...

On this side of Atlantic, Soros lobbies for drug legalisation in the U.S. and use the same banks as Columbian drug cartel. No connection to drugs of course, pure coincidence.
Back to Kerry again. Narcotics experience. Support to KLA from the onset of Kosovo crisis.
This is more interesting than any Ludlum novel.
Soros modus opoerandi can be sketched through the kind of people he finances, supports and employ. They are first given "play money" in non-Soros linked "charity" and then given fullblown job to supervise Soros operations.
Mabel Wisse Smit is prime example. Girlfriend of Dutch No1 heroin trafficker, "humanitarian" with gun running agenda in Bosnia, director of Soros Open Society Institute in Brussels, Belgium. Her stepfather, a sportsman, suddenly dies. Tragedies do happen.
Dick Holbrooke banking experience is very important piece of the puzzle- when everything else fails, follow the money.
One can safely bet that uninterrupted drug traffic is a big chunk of Kosovo puzzle.
The problem is that terrorists, narcotics and weapons dealers almost got their man into the White House.
The entire network has to be exposed before they get Hitlery into White House in 2008 and Clinton in UN.
The only problem is that truth will not come out by itself.
The problem here is not $510 000 terrorist supporters collected, the problem is that terrorists almost got their man into the White House. It may happen in 2008.
Kosovo can be used as an example what we are dealing with:
KLA, Terrorist movement allied with Al Qaeda has supporters in the highest echelons of power of Democratic Party.
Thank you kindly, Angel!
Thank You! This is indeed a hot story.
Thank you!
just like they did jfk if there was an illegitimate president then it was him with all the ballot stuffing...it would be great to look at the records back then and see if the mafia didn't help him if he would have won.

Still guessing why Soros sunk $42M into sKerry ?
