The CIA and Greater Albania: The Origins of the US Role in the Balkans
http://www.serbianna.com/columns/savich/057.shtml ^

Posted on 12/31/2007 2:10:21 PM PST by kronos77

Introduction: The Missing Link

Why did the US support the separatist and terrorist so-called Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA, or UCK in Shqip), which sought to create an ethnically pure Albanian Kosovo based on ethnicity? Why did the US sponsor a criminal and illegal separatist movement that sought to ethnically cleanse non-Albanians and create an independent state of Kosova? Why was the US supporting and sponsoring the re-establishment of a fascist-Nazi Greater Albania that Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini had initially created? ...

The recruitment of the former Nazi-fascist members of the Balli Kombetar by the CIA and MI6 in 1948 in order to engineer a regime change in Albania provides the origins and roots for US involvement in Kosovo and the creation of a Greater Albania or Ethnic Albania. The Balli Kombetar had been an ultra-nationalist, right-wing Greater Albania movement that had been created specifically to retain Kosovo as part of a Greater Albania. ... bb, Earl Jellicoe, and Peter Dwyer of MI6 and a Balkans specialist. They met with Robert Joyce of the US State Department’s Policy and Planning Staff (PPS) and Frank Wisner, who was the head of the Office of Policy Co-ordination (OPC), which was administered by the CIA. Wisner had been an attorney who had represented the financial interests of wealthy Albanian refugees who had been members of the Nazi-fascist collaborative group, the Balli Kombetar. So there had also been a monetary connection between US intelligence and the former Nazi/fascist Albanian Balli Kombetar members.

The strategic goal was to establish a foothold on the Balkan peninsula.

This was how the US allowed the former Croatian Ustasha/Roman Catholic alleged war criminals to escape through Italy and the Vatican, through the “ratlines” established by Croatian Roman Catholic priest Father Krunoslav Draganovic. This was how the powerful ultra-nationalist and neo-Ustasha separatist lobby was created in the US with the backing of US Roman Catholic groups. The objective was always the same. The US and Britain sought to control the Balkans and eastern Europe through NATO. The game was always about power. Human rights, humanitarianism, genocide, and ethnic cleansing had nothing to do with it.

So, you think the RCC has changed?

LOL!

This article is written by an anti-American anti-British author who obviously dislikes anything western and civilized. However, it is a pretty good description of what occurred if you take out the viewpoint adjectives.

“Nope. Nothing anti-western.”

I agree. The Mohammedan Albanians were virtually all active collaborators with or members of the Albania’s answer to the Nazi Party. After the war, with the defeat of their paymasters, virtually all of them became collaborators with the communists. Now they are flocking into Orthodox Churches claiming they and their families going back centuries were really closet Orthodox...and asking for and getting hand outs from Orthodox missionaries there, mostly naive American converts to Orthodoxy. In the meantime they are as committed today to Mohammedanism and the establishment of a Greater Albania as their grandparents were 70 years ago. And their BIGGEST HEROES ARE BUSH AND CLINTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy new Year! (00:12 in Serbia)

One day the West will realise that this has nothing to do with Serbs, Serbia or Russia... It has to do with suicide of Western World.

Now trust me on this one. If Christianity prevails, duty of Otrodox Church will be to rebuild Christianity in EU and US after selfdestruction done by commies and liberals and agression done bu muslims.

Mark my words...

On the surface, it seems like some people never learn from failure. Fiasco in Albania was repeated with Bahía de Cochinos (wrongly known as Bay of Pigs) and one has to ask whether both were actually diversionary tactic to boost credibility of already inserted agents.

No doubt, Wisner had a great idea how to insert Islamists into the soft belly of Europe. "Brilliant" idea, like creation of OBL in Pakistan, "not knowing" about the coup in Iran or supporting Saddam.

Wisner Jr. lived the life like character in Good Sheperd movie (Wilson Jr.)- he lived in that environment and he knows more than it is on the official record.

That's why this is dangerous - a cross of CIA genes and Enron upbringing.

You apparently are not knowledgeable enough to know that the Church did NOT run the so-called Ratlines. Some Catholic officials were involved, but not the pope.

And no, I don’t think the Church has changed, nor did it need to.

You might want to consider it, however.

We will do what we are called to do! It won't be the first time Orthodoxy rebuilds a shattered Christian society!

>>>>>Some Catholic officials were involved, but not the pope.<<<<<

Ever heard of concept of plausible deniability?

While plausible deniability may work for Pius XII, it does not work for Pope Paul VI. Monsignor Montini headed the ratlines and and he became The Pope.

While he was running the ratlines, he was a Substitute Secretary of State.

Yes, and that isn’t in play here.

“While plausible deniability may work for Pius XII, it does not work for Pope Paul VI. Monsignor Montini headed the ratlines and and he became The Pope.”

Nonsense. Even your source made no mention of Paul VI “heading” the ratlines.

“While he was running the ratlines, he was a Substitute Secretary of State.”

You mean Deputy, right?

Well, if the Pope wasn't involved it must have not been really a RCC operation!

I do know that the Pope signed a deal with Hilter to let the RCC operate without Nazi interference if the RCC would not raise any fuss about the Jews being murdered.

And no, I don’t think the Church has changed, nor did it need to. You might want to consider it, however.

No, the RCC hasn't changed.

Now instead of hiding Nazis, they hide pedophiles, but ofcourse the Pope has no knowledge of that either!

If it wasn’t effective you wouldn’t be whining about 60 years later.

“I do know that the Pope signed a deal with Hilter to let the RCC operate without Nazi interference if the RCC would not raise any fuss about the Jews being murdered.”

Wrong. The Concordat was signed in 1933 0r 1934. Jews were not murdered by the Nazis in any noticeable number until at least 4 years later. Also, the Nazis violated their end of the Concordat. Pius XI and Pius XII repeatedly complained about that, but the Nazis ignored their complaints.

“No, the RCC hasn’t changed.”

After being founded by Christ, it never needed to.

“Now instead of hiding Nazis, they hide pedophiles, but ofcourse the Pope has no knowledge of that either!”

The Church didn’t hide Nazis. Some Catholics did, but the Church never did.

High officals of the RCC did, the same officals who represent the RCC.

The very same officals who were suppose to protect the 'flock' but instead chose to protect their fellow priests.

That Church, on the insistence of Rome, now fell silent. It was a terrible defeat for the Jews. As Hitler himself boasted in a cabinet meeting on July 14, 1933, Pacelli's guarantee of non-intervention left the régime free to resolve the Jewish question. "Hitler expressed the opinion that one should only consider it as a great achievement. The concordat gave Germany an opportunity and created an area of trust that was particularly significant in the developing struggle against international Jewry." http://www.ianpaisley.org/article.asp?printerFriendly=true&ArtKey=hitler_4
