Gregory Elich, authour of Strange Liberators will be in Eugene Oregon to speak about the Kosovo crisis from an Orthodox perspective. He is one of the board of directors of the Jasenovac Research Institute, which also operates as a museum that commemmorates Serbs and Jews who died in a concentration camp at the hand of the Utaashis and the Nazis as well as Albanians aligned with Muslims and Young Turks.
He will be one day before the Witnessing Genocide Conference and we are hoping that we have a large turnout for him. All Eugeneans from Oregon who subscribe to this list are encouraged to get the word out. I am hoping that he speaks at the Longhouse at the University of Washington, and am looking for some community sponsorship from area churches and from student groups on campus. Mr. Elich already committed to the date, so I'm running around trying to find a venue. I know this is a bit backward, but I'm confident with God's help that something within the next week will come through, and I will keep everyone here posted.
It is very hard to get people to come to these events, but I feel somewhat encouraged lately. Prayers are requested and any help offered will be greatly appreciated.

Well, Xenia, it looks like you all will be dealing with SAMANTHA POWER, the Harvard "genocide celebrity", advisor to Osama Obama, and card-carrying vile Serbophobe!!!!!
Greg Elich, of the Jasenovac memorial, rightly calls himself a journalist. But Power poses as a Harvard "intellectual" and "foreign policy expert". In reality, she is nothing but a Dhimmwit "advocacy journalist" and black-propaganist, who spreads "Bosnian" muslim lies far and wide.
Our local Serbian-American group has found that the best way to deal with miscreants like Power is to show up, and ask good--and embarrasing--questions that will show other attendees and the press just what she is. You might, for example, show that the Serbs have been victims of mass-murder in the 1990s "Bosnia" war, which Power blithely ignores.
Prayer of course helps, too, and I will be praying for you. May God give you a blessed Great and Holy Week and Pascha!!
