Media organizations prepared Tuesday to oppose any efforts by the Justice Department to subpoena journalists and their notes to learn who leaked the identity of an undercover CIA agent to columnist Robert Novak.

Subpoenas could be challenged on the basis of First Amendment guarantees of freedom of the press, said Bill Felber, editor of The Manhattan (Kan.) Mercury and freedom of information chairman for the Associated Press Managing Editors. But they could also be challenged, he said, if they were too broad or if the information could be obtained in other ways.

Can Anyone Be Surprised By Sudden Anti-Serb Statements of "Protector of Humanism and Law"?

SOROS' MERECENARIES

Mrs. Natasa Kandic accuses the Yugoslav Army, while setting a high foreign exchange rate for her "humanitarian" efforts and collecting a fee of 5,000 German marks for every false accusation of the army and the legal leadership of the state she belongs to. While Mrs. Kandic accuses, The Guardian journalist Audrey Gillan indirectly defends the Yugoslav Army admitting, these days, that the accusation of mass murders of the Shqiptars [ethnic Albanians] in Kosmet was an ordinary lie and an alibi for NATO military intervention against the FRY - The fact is that all the banished spies invoked only one source of information - Natasa Kandic

Tanjug

Politika, Belgrade, FR Yugoslavia, August 23, 2000

Financial potentates like George Soros and his mercenaries, such as the director of the "Fund for Humanitarian Law", lawyer Natasa Kandic, still imagine that they can rearrange the world as they see fit by their own yardstick.

This unrealistic ambition of theirs is particularly stirred up by a number of our own - bought - media that overemphasize the importance of nonsensical statements uttered by the impassioned "preachers of morality", actually people of dubious moral integrity and no dignity; observations of analysts and critics of social circumstances who choose to overlook the truth; "patriots" who have sold their patriotism and "fighters for justice and law" who have abused both these values and, moreover, with their conduct and statements, persist in doing just that.

Thus, only recently, Mrs. Kandic, on the basis of specific instructions of her financier George Soros, in the Belgrade daily "Danas" (which, too, is subsidized by the above-mentioned businessman of Hungarian origin) gave her contribution, albeit a modest one, to the continuing anti-Yugoslav campaign. Using the usual, worn out pattern she accused the Yugoslav Army - only and exclusively because it represents the symbol of state integrity and coexistence of all the nations in our homeland - of committing mass crimes against civilian population during the civil war in Bosnia-Hercegovina and in Kosmet, although she must know for sure that the Yugoslav Army soldiers could not have committed such atrocities.

They did not and could not have done that because - as revealed by our freedom-loving history - professional and human honor is inherent in the nature of the Serb and Montenegrin officer.

Despite that, Mrs. Kandic, accuses the Yugoslav Army "overlooking" the fact that the only true victims of violence, terror and daily brutal executions in the southern Serbian province are precisely the Serbs and the last remnants of the non-Albanian population. Mrs. Kandic does that because she has set a high foreign exchange rate for every false accusation against the army and the legal leadership of the state she belongs to, collecting a fee of 5,000 German marks.

It appears that this foreign exchange amount was sufficient for the close friend of the SFRY foreign minister Budimir Loncar to "forget" the fact that even the press close to the British government, biased as it is, has recently uncovered a piece of information no one has yet denied, to the effect that the SAS had participated in the mass execution of Muslim civilians near Srebrenica during the Bosnian war and that the crimes were subsequently blamed on the Serbs to reinforce the image already made in the workshops of media propaganda experts.

While Mrs. Kandic accuses, the journalist of a popular London daily The Guardian, Audrey Gillan, these days, indirectly defends the Yugoslav Army acknowledging and confirming what we have known for a long time already, that the accusation of the mass killing of Shqiptars in Kosovo and Metohija was an ordinary lie and an alibi for the NATO military intervention against the FRY.

Revealing that the pathetic story of the Shqiptar victims was actually a "lesson on the use of propaganda in modern war", Gillan dealt a hard slap in the face of Blair's government.

But, what could be expected of Mrs. Kandic who, way back in March 1994, on behalf of Soros's "Fund for Humanitarian law" in Belgrade, accused the Serbian and Montenegrin police of allegedly arresting and torturing over 400 Muslims?

Can anyone at all be surprised by sudden anti-Serbian statements of the hypocritical and selective "protector of humanism and law" who, as early as in 1996 in Vukovar, publicly accused the Serbs of committing crimes against Croatian civilians and of allegedly concealing mass graves in Eastern Slavonia which, as we all known now, have never existed.

Statements of this kind may come as a surprise to the naïve or uninformed, but certainly not to the journalists who were banished from FR Yugoslavia during last year's aggression because of false reporting on the events on our soil or because they, on the side, engaged in espionage in the interest of and for the governments of states that had sent them here.

The fact that all the banished spies invoked only one source of information - Natasa Kandic - is most indicative of the false humanism of this Soros's hireling.

Bingo!!

They want an investigation - just as long as they are not included. This time the media has stepped in it up to their neck. If they resist the subpeona - we'll know who they are. They think it's so great to give the democrats an avenue to vent their vile garbage - this is what they deserve.

I want to know who the 6 reporters were who talked to Wilson.

Here is the link to the FR search on Soros. There is some really scary stuff about this Super Rich Lunatic Lib, who may be more dangerous to America/Americans than the al Qaeda murderers.

As an old man, I getting ready to go to bed.

There is a new NY Slimes hit article out on this whole mess.

Maybe you could post it for us. It will get the juices flowing for everyone on 1 October 2003.

You can find it via Drudge just click the items on the right hand side of your screen and it will come up even though it isn't listed. Click the item about Wilson meeting with Ketchup Kerry several times.

Excellent deduction, piasa! Where is Soros now, by the way?

It is a helluvu note if the media is forced to disclose the fact that most of their reporting is made up out of whole cloth!

Happy birthday youngster.

Next month I will be a MediCare guy.

Seriously, I would like to know how much Soros and his short selling hedge funds impact our markets. Also, is he financing the Gold bugs to be so negative about our markets? Finally, is he behind these negative reports that come out from Reuters/CBS which knock the market down until the data gets corrected? If so he could be making billions off of us with each release of bad rat economic data.

Since the Compost got away with their mythical Deep Throat, won awards and forced out Nixon with that BS, the left wing mediots and videoits have been fabricating stories like this one.

Up to now they have gotten by with it.

Nobody can make more political/financial mischief than an avowed leftist with the resources to make it work. The trouble is... it's so danged hard to prove while they whip up all the "dust devils" in the media!!!

It wouldn't surprise me if people like him got old Walter Crankcase to convince Americans that we were losing the Vietnam War when we actually beat back the Tet Offensive which was Ho Chi Mihn's last Communistic GASP!!!

That has to go down in history as a way stupider "giving up" by a "Super Power," stupider by far than the USSR giving up in Afgahnistan. It all has to do with the "will to fight" being sapped by professional "doubt peddlers!" Look how quickly we zapped Ashcanistan when the Communists couldn't get the job done.

If it weren't for the damn "doubt peddlers" playing to the infectiousness of FEAR, here in America... It's hard to imagine how beautiful this world would become almost overnight!!!

We Freepers still have a job, or two to do to keep the white-hot search-light of truth beaming through all the lame-stream media fog of FEAR & DOUBT! We need to blow it away!!! (and the Demonicrats with it)
