Terrorism
Probably will be censored. | Michael Pravica

Posted on 02/15/2007 9:28:04 AM PST by justicefortheserbs

Fellow Americans, We should be very wary of the mainstream media's portrayal of the recent murderous shooting rampage in Utah. In the article I responded to, they cleverly have to somehow bring in the Serbs because it just doesn't look good that a Bosnian Muslim (our supposed "allies") would do this agains us. Just sent this letter to the editor. I highly doubt that it will be published due to the massive censorship in our "free and fair" "liberal" mainstream media.. Americans must demand accountability from the media. Also note that the eye-catching anti-Serb title with the word "genocide." This was never proven but it's OK for the media to use the term because it's against the Serbs.

Letter to the Editor Deseret News February 15, 2007

Re: "A child of violence: Talovic survived genocide," February 15.

The way your article reads, you are somehow trying to blame the alleged "genocide" on the Bosnian Muslims in Bosnia as a justifiable excuse for Sulejman Talovic's murderous rampage against innocent US citizens. Yet, the Serbs have experienced their own genocide from NATO, Bill Clinton, Madeline Albright, and their Balkan enemies, yet there has never been an incident of a Serbian from Yugoslavia murdering Americans ever as far as I'm aware. There have however, been incidents of Croatians, Albanians, and Bosnian Muslims murdering Americans both in this country and in the former Yugoslavia. So what gives? Looks as if this is yet another mainstream media propagana whitewash to hide terrorist acts by our "friends" from the public view. This is, plain and simple, treason. I would also like the FBI to publicize their "evidence" showing no apparent link to Talovic's Bosnian Muslim past with this tragedy. Frankly, I'm very skeptical.

Sincerely, Dr. Michael Pravica

This is from Boortz.com. It sums it up...

"Imagine if he had not been Muslim, but rather a Mormon...or a Christian protesting abortion ...or Amish. Would his religion be downplayed like it is now? Of course not. That would be the front and center headline. But per the pro-terrorist Islamic appeasement template, the media must never criticize or present Muslims in a bad light. So he's just called a "gunman."

Spitting in the ocean.
Giving the MSM any attention is simply validating the chokepoint that allows them to decide what news the public needs to read.

The best reaction is to discuss reality, and the "forbidden" logical connections on forums like Free Republic, and repeating those discussions as many times as necessary.

Remember that analysis by Dr. Walter Williams, about how the morons in the media habitually cite "36" references in support of a bias which, when examined closely all converge onto one opinion (undocumented) piece?

Happens every day.

Looking back, it would be easy to conclude that the United States intervention in the Bosnian war was unjustified. First, because Bill Clinton initiated it. It was a "Wag the Dog" scenario. He wanted attention off of his extra-marital daliances and high crimes and misdemeanors. That simple.

A second reason is that this occurred in Europe. You know, the place where all our NATO "Allies" live. The continent THEY are responsible for. BTW, the aforementioned is a JOKE.

The third reason is that at least SOME of the trouble-making was due to extremist Muslims. The same strains with which we are now at war.

Fourth, it was a religious - CIVIL - war. For over 1,000 years, the Bosnian Mulsims and Croatian Catholics and Serbian Eastern Orthodox Christians have been killing one another. (Hmmm, strikingly sounds like Kurds and Shi'a's and Sunni's. oh my!).

Fifth, this WAS the place where WW I started -- when a Serbian Archduke was assasinated by a Croation sniper. Just a little bit of a powder keg there?

It would be easy to say we were wrong. On the other hand, examining the evidence, it is clear that there were very few "good guys" in the former Yugoslavia of those days. There WERE a whole lot of victims, and refugees, and bodies.

Were the Muslims, or the Croatians or the Serbs worthy of our intervention? Perhaps not. But the tired, and the poor, and the wounded, and the destitute -- and YES, those yearning for freedom -- SHOULD have that help, SHOULD get that chance.

Now, we can argue that the UN has turned the former Yugoslav Republics into a boondoogle. We can argue -- though if you think the UN is doing a good job there you are certifiably insane. But only the US was willing to look at the atrocities of the Serbs -- and the Croatians and Muslims as well -- and say, "This must stop!" They'd STILL be killing each other if it was left up to the Western Europeans and the UN.

The Serbs got their justice -- from 10,000 feet. And many of the Muslims and Croatians got it too. But then, many from all of these groups got the HELP they needed -- at least initially -- from US -- the US of A.

I think we can close the rhetoric of that chapter.
