Prays for Peace in Kosovo

[A Roger's Notes List Project]

I confess that I might not be as informed about the history and politics of the former

Yugoslavia as I could be.  I have discussed the Kosovo situation with several individuals

with depth of knowledge and personal experience with the area.   I am convinced that

this was destined to be an outrage no matter what happened.  The problems there do

not only belong to our time, but we are now confronted with the requirement to deal

with and hopefully find a peaceful resolution to the situation.  

                                                         PEACE IS THE ONLY ANSWER.

We must mobilize our collective energies to bring peace to these people and this place.

World Prayer and Peace Day


As the 19th generation keeper of the Sacred White Buffalo Pipe of Peace, I, Chief

Arvol Looking Horse of the Lakota, Nakota and Dakota Nation, would like to invite the

world to recognize June 21st as a day of prayer for global healing. Our traditional

indigenous ways are the way to strengthen our bonds and healing for our Mother

Earth. We are the "root nation", Hutkan Oyate, with responsibility to turn the life of

our Mother Earth around. It is now evident, with even the scientific findings, that our

course is leading to the endangerment of our tired Mother Earth. We are now in the

midst of what is prophesied as the crossroads, faced with either disaster, chaos,

diseases, with tears from our relatives' (Mitakuye Oyasin) eyes, or uniting spiritually

with all nations upon Mother Earth.

This is a calling for the world to seek out the sacred sites and bring awareness to

the energy and connection that exists there to our Mother Earth. In the past, there

has been clear research findings of people coming together spiritually, praying for a
healing, and our Mother Earth responded with a visible positive energy shift.

This year we are completing the circle to the South direction in Costa Rica. This journey
started in 1996 at Grey Horn Butte, Wyoming and circled to the North in 1997, to the

Cree Nation of the Joseph Big Head Reservation, and then to the East at the Sacred

Pipestone Quarries in 1998. Costa Rica has been chosen as the Southern site to

complete the circle because of the need to support what is already established there

with the efforts of the University of Peace and its non-military existence. We are

inviting the surrounding Indigenous Peoples of the South and all Indigenous people

of the world to either join us or go to their sacred site if it is not possible to journey

to Costa Rica.

According to our star knowledge, June 21st is a time to pray. We have this only

chance to unite spiritually. In our way there is no beginning and no ending to continue

to work toward peace and harmony for our Mother Earth so there is much healing for

our nations of future generations.

May peace be with you, all life upon Mother Earth.

Mitakuye oyasin, (All my relations)

Chief Arvol Looking Horse, Keeper of the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe

Dear Brothers and Sisters, my human family:-))

Mankind is once again at a crossroads. We must either resolve to be "our
brothers keeper" or we will all go down as a failed experiment. We can no
longer claim ignorance of what is happening to our brothers and sisters
around the globe. WE KNOW! We see every day the injustice, the sufferring,
the starvation: the mistreatment of our own kind by others of our own kind.
We poison ourselves if we do nothing about what we know. We cannot pretend
any longer. We must stop our denial mechanisms that allow us to feel
comfortable and secure while others suffer. We know: we must act. We must
change. Each of us and all of us.

We cannot continue to act in the way we have in the past; meeting violence
with violence. We have enough historical perspective to realize that that
strategy has only bred more violence. As Gandhi said: " An eye for an eye
leaves the whole world blind". We are acting like the blind led by the
blind. Yet, there is a light of wisdom within each of us that knows we must
find a better way. We have no choice about it any more if we are to survive
and if our planet and all the beings on it are to thrive. The boat has
gotten over-crowded and threatens to go down. We must change what we have
always done and try something better. We must do it now!

Christ gave us the answer when he said "Blessed are the Peacemakers". Like
all great Spiritual Masters everywhere, He taught us to love those who
wrongfully use us. To return love for hatred and to do so by forgiving. It
is not easy; but it is necessary! We really have no other choice than to do
what in our hearts we know is right. Each of us must make this choice in
our own lives. It will not happen on a global level until it happens in
enough of us as individuals. Only then will the tide turn. May peace be in
our hearts and in our world.

GLOBAL PEACE NOW!

Peace, Love & Harmony,

From: Divine Rights FAITHLORDS@aol.com
To: spiritwalk@earthlink.net

In case you haven't already heard, there is going to be a worldwide moment of silence

for peace in Balkans on May 24, 1999.  Hundreds of thousands of people from around the

world will come together at _one moment_ in time ~ exactly 5pm Greenwich Mean Time

(that's 9am in Los Angeles, noon in New York, 6pm in Paris, 8pm in Moscow).  We will stop

whatever we are doing and observe two minutes of silence for the people in Yugoslavia.

It isn't a statement against the United States, or against the Kosovars, or against the

Serbians. It is not about national borders and governments at all ~ it is about the value

of individual human life and liberty. It is a gesture of peace and good will for all men,

women, and children.  This is a quiet, personal moment, but a moment that will be shared

across the globe.

I hope you'll join us on May 24.

Stop by http://www.MomentofSilence.org/ to add your name to the growing
list of people (including people from Australia to Argentina, from Kansas to Kosovo,

and even a U.S. Congressman from Texas) who will be observing the moment of silence

together.  Every name on that list is like a candle in the darkness, spreading the light

of peace. Every name makes a difference for the people in Yugoslavia. Please add yours.
And help us spread the word. Forward this message to your friends and family, even if

you think they might have already heard about it.  Part of what makes this an historic

event is that it is being promoted without the help of any big media organization or

advertising budget.  Regular people are spreading this message around the world, by e-mail. 

Thank you for joining in the Moment of Silence.

My mother is a Carpathian German, who fled Slovakia, the country in
which her family lived since 1209 in the manner of the Kosovars in 1945. My
father's side left the Danzig area earlier, but it still remained our
spiritual home, until the local Germans, including several of his
relatives, were murdered and deported in the same manner. What happened
to many of the Albanians of Kosovo reminds me of that. So does the
suffering of the Bosniaks (the Muslims from Bosnia), of so many
Croats--but ALSO of many Serbs who were "vertrieben" from the Krajina.
We must recognize individuals, not use ethnic labels.
Since I saw a letter arguing in the manner of Edward Benesch (the Czech
Milosevic) that Sudeten Germans were all traitors (just as Milosevic
argues about the Albanians), I also submit my Carpathian German Homepage
for the perusal of those who are interested in the complicated history
of Czecho-Slovakia between the wars.

IMPORTANT STATEMENT ON YUGOSLAVIA
by Chief Arvol Looking Horse

My name is Chief Arvol Looking Horse of the Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota
Nation, I would like to share a viewpoint about the "Ethnic Cleansing",
mass killing of innocent people in Yugoslavia.

I am the Keeper of the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe of Peace, a gift of a
sacred bundle given nineteen generations ago to my people providing
guidance of teachings for assurance of Peace within our lives. The White
Buffalo Calf Woman gave this gift of the Sacred Pipe providing guidance of
teachings for assurance of Peace within our lives. Along with these
teachings of this Sacred Pipe of Peace, has been prophecies passed down
from significant people who walked their harmony. They based their lives on
teachings given from sacred bundles, such as the Sacred Buffalo Calf Pipe
or many other gifts of bundles and teachings from the Creator. They
foretold of these times of great change, which coincide with many other
Nations' archives recording their own Prophecies. The reality of the
accuracy of these Prophecies which has predicted events upon Mother Earth,
as well as the history of our own people, have come to pass, so we have
learned to pay attention.

There are foretold Prophecies of a very dark time, more significant than
any other times in History. We will be at a crossroads in which a dark
cloud will envelop the earth, chaos and diseases will erupt and we will
witness blood from our relative's eyes. Humankind has to make a decision
and have courage to make a stand for Peace, even when their relatives'
minds are restrained from spiritual awareness of healing the mind. We still
have a chance to choose to make a change.

Mother Earth is a living spirit that clothes, feeds and nourishes all walks
of life, but when fighting erupts, the land and life cease to flourish, as
well as the spirit of humankind. Mother Earth needs our help!

I call upon the World to Pray at once for Peace, to make your stand
spiritually, you must see the ignorance of this situation in Yugoslavia
will only make us blinder to our own empowerment of making a positive
change for our next generations to come. Pray with me every day at 10:00 AM
Central Time for a peaceful resolution to this continuing destruction of
the World. You must realize this "disease of the mind" will spread even
faster, if we don't take control of our behavior. I have been initiating an
event called "World Peace and Prayer Day" to bring awareness of these times
by uniting the world spiritually on June 21st, praying at the sacred sites,
for Global Healing, this being the fourth year to the South in Costa Rica.
When this day arrives, please pilgrimage to your local sacred site and
continue the daily praying that has been done at the time of 10:00 AM
Central Time. This is an invitation to the Serbian and Yugoslavian
representatives to participate, whether it be in Costa Rica or at your own
sacred place of prayer. Please begin to learn to understand the meaning of
"Walking in harmony and Peace" in having the courage to transform our
spiritual consciousness to love and compassion! This is the real challenge
and courage in life. As one of our spiritual leaders, Black Elk once said:

"One who walks a dark road is distracted, who is ruled by his senses and
who lives for himself, rather than for his people". Please "Look upon your
children, with their children in their arms, that they may face the winds
and walk to the day of quiet."

From which there is no beginning and no ending in the Sacred Hoop of Life,
I am sending you this message of Peace from my heart and the sacred altar,
our prayers for Peace be heard, may peace with you all...

Hetcetuyelo!

Aloha

This message needs to be distributed worldwide to everyone as soon as possible.

I have been waiting for the information to gather on the reason behind the
KOSOVO war. It is the Bilderbergs continual manipulation of world politics
and the Stari Trg mining complex worth at least $5 billion and 17 billion
tons of coal reserves, PLUS the US testing of new weapons.

The articles below detail what is happening in ways that give us new focus
to the intention of our prayers.

The Big Lie About Kosovo

by Richard Poe

"Save the Albanian Kosovars!" Clinton cries. "Save the
Sudeten Germans!" Hitler trumpeted in 1938. The
names have changed, but the strategy remains the same.

For more than 50 years, we Americans have looked
down our noses at the Germans, for having followed
Hitler so blindly. But now it's our turn. We are proving
no more resistant to propaganda than those cheering
crowds in Leni Riefenstahl's Triumph of the Will.

Back in the 1930s, Adolf Hitler needed an excuse to
seize Czechoslovakia. So he invented one. Three and a
quarter million ethnic Germans lived in the
Sudetenland, under Czech rule. As William L. Shirer
recounts in The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, Hitler
secretly funded an extremist group called the Sudeten
German Party and ordered it to provoke an uprising
against the Czechs.

Kosovo, too, appears to have been destabilized by
outside forces. For years, Kosovars protested Milosevic
peacefully. But in 1997, a group called the Kosovo
Liberation Army (KLA) suddenly started shooting. Who
were these people?

The Times of London (March 24, 1999) described the
KLA as "a Marxist-led force funded by dubious
sources, including drug money." European police
suspect the KLA of connections to Albanian gangsters.
At least two of the group's backers appear to have been
the CIA and the German spy agency BND, according to
intelligence analyst John Whitley, quoted in the Truth in
Media Global Watch Bulletin (April 2, 1999).

The purpose of staging a provocation is to create a
backlash. This strategy certainly worked for Hitler in
1938. As unrest spread in the Sudetenland, the Czechs
cracked down. Czech President Eduard Benes ordered
troops into the region and declared martial law.

Right on cue, the German press went wild. "Women and
Children Mowed Down by Armored Cars," ran a typical
Berlin newspaper headline in September 1938. "Poison
Gas Attack on Aussig" cried another.

Hitler accused Benes of waging a "war of
extermination" against Sudeten Germans. "The
Germans he now drives out!" cried Hitler, in a
September 16, 1938 speech. "We see the appalling
figures: on one day 10,000 fugitives, on the next
20,000... and today 214,000. Whole stretches of country
were depopulated, villages are burned down, attempts
are made to smoke out the Germans with
hand-grenades and gas."

Sound familiar? Hitler's rhetoric bears an eerie
resemblance to the CNN news blitz on Kosovo. Of
course, Hitler was exaggerating. Many of the atrocities
he alleged later turned out to be fabrications. But the
same is true of our newscasts on Kosovo.

Take the alleged massacre of 45 Albanian civilians at
Racak, for instance, reported in January 1999. Forensic
and other evidence now suggests that the bodies were
those of KLA guerrillas killed in combat.

The hoax has been widely discussed in the European
press (including Le Monde, Die Welt, Le Figaro and the
BBC). But U.S. news outlets have been as silent on the
controversy as if they were taking orders from Goebbels
himself.

In the Sudeten crisis, Hitler claimed to be inspired by
internationalist ideals. "Among the fourteen points
which President Wilson promised ..." the Fuhrer
proclaimed, "was the fundamental principle of the
self-determination of all peoples ..." By freeing the
Sudeten Germans, Hitler argued, he was fulfilling
Wilson's vision.

Clinton too claims he is fighting for human rights. But
ethnic cleansing does not bother Clinton when his
friends are the ones doing the cleansing. He ordered no
bombing when the Croatians drove 300,000 Serbs from
Krajina, burning their homes and killing many. Nor did
he intervene when our NATO ally Turkey slaughtered
over 35,000 Kurds.

Every schoolchild today knows that Hitler's real goal, in
seizing Czechoslovakia, was to use it as a stepping stone
for his planned invasion of Russia.

But what is Clinton's real interest in Kosovo? Nobody
knows.

Many theories have been floated. Some point to the
Trepca mines of northern Kosovo, rich in gold, zinc,
silver and lead. The New York Times called them the
"Kosovo war's glittering prize" (July 8, 1998).

Others see a more far-reaching strategy. The Russians
claim that NATO, like Hitler, wants to use the Balkans
as a stepping stone for extending its power eastward --
eventually meddling in the affairs of Russia itself.

But this is all speculation. Only time will reveal
Clinton's true intentions, as it ultimately did Hitler's.

In his memoir Inside the Third Reich, Albert Speer
recalled the anxious mood of Berliners, in September
1939, as they digested the news that England and
France had declared war.

"The atmosphere was noticeably depressed," he recalls.
"The people were full of fear about the future. None of
the regiments marched off to war decorated with
flowers as they had done at the beginning of the First
World War. The streets remained empty. There was no
crowd on Wilhelmsplatz shouting for Hitler."

A wise man once said that those who fail to study
history are condemned to repeat it. Should Clinton
actually succeed in sparking a world war, Americans
will no doubt react with the same shock and fear as
Berliners did in 1939. But we will have only ourselves
to blame.

Richard Poe is a freelance journalist and a New York
Times-bestselling author. He writes frequently on
historical themes. Poe's latest book, "Black Spark,
White Fire", explores the Afrocentric controversy
concerning ancient Egypt.

Hello All,

THE FOLLOWING new world order INTELLIGENCE UPDATE WAS WRITTEN ON MAY 16,
1998 and refers to the 1996 and 1998 Bilderberg Meetings and Kosovo...

(This is me speaking, btw, in these next three paragraphs.)

The first time I ever heard the word "Kosovo" was over two years ago in these
reports which forecast how the Bilderbergers hoped to bring about a
debilitating war of attrition in the heart of Europe with tendrils eventually
spreading towards Russia, Syria and Israel. No doubt, in the interim,
Bilderberger agents provocateurs have been working full time on all sides to
foment the present war. The following is about the 1998 Bilderberg-creep
meeting with references to the 1996 meeting.

These creeps are hoping this war will spread into Greece, Cyprus, Turkey,
Bulgaria, RUSSIA, and finally, involve the US in their nwo malevolence.
Lucifer must have some magnificent palaces all ready for these heroes of
hell-creeps when they shed their mortal coils - and I do mean coils, as in
snakes... Sky dragons? Dracs? And what is the traditional symbol of China?
The dragon. Remember, Albania is and always has been a Red Chinese puppet
and a drug conduit to the west via the KLA for drugs from China and SE Asia.

Since what the nwo Intelligence Update's 1996 report said was going to happen
has now come to pass in Kosovo in 1999, I re-read the following with great
pause because of what it may foreshadow for the entire region (Greece and
Turkey and Cyprus) and for Russia and the Middle East and the US. The
Bilderberg-made storm clouds are gathering! I am so awestruck by the level
of deceit and evil these nwo manipulators are into that I cannot say another
word.

EXCERPT:

"The Coming Kosovo War, Greece, Turkey, And Cyprus...

"In our June, 1996, Special Report on the Bilderbergers, the New World
Order Intelligence Update warned that the globalist elite had planned a
Balkans war which would become the "Vietnam of the '90's"; and that, if
they could not get such a war going by inflaming the Serbs through the
use of NATO "snatch squads" to seize suspected war criminals for trial
at the Hague, their plan was to use Kosovo as the flashpoint to ignite a
regional conflict which would ultimately embroil the Yugoslav
federation, Bosnia, Russia, Greece, Turkey, Albania, Macedonia, the
Western European military powers, the United States, and by extension -
as allies of Turkey and Greece - Israel and Syria. Now, from virtually
nowhere, the well-financed Kosovan Liberation Army has sprung into the
limelight and the scene is being set for a Balkan war of unbelievable
carnage and merciless hostility.

"We further warned that, if the war in Kosovo took too long to engineer
or eluded the elite altogether, then their fall-back plan was to create
a vicious conflict between Turkey and Greece over Cyprus, and to push
the war back into the Balkans area from there."

TORONTO, 16th May, 1998

The 1998 meeting of the secretive and immensely-powerful Bilderberg
Group closes tomorrow at the luxurious Turnberry Hotel in Ayrshire,
Scotland. The 120 or so Bilderbergers, who normally converge at their
pre-selected venue with as much secrecy as possible, had hoped that
their selection for the May 14th - 17th conference this year, 15 miles
south of Ayr and a quarter of a mile away from the A77 trunk road to
Glasgow, would - together with armed and black-clad police at the the
property entrance and around the perimeter - guarantee their
previously-inviolate privacy.

They have still not recovered from the acute discomfort which they
experienced when the TORONTO STAR and local Toronto media, acting on
detailed Press Releases from the NEW WORLD ORDER INTELLIGENCE UPDATE
[http://www.inforamp.net/~jwhitley], ran several major articles
revealing their existence and querying, for the first time in their then
43-year history, the nature and purpose of their secretive conclave at a
$66-million luxury resort property at King City, just north of Toronto

Conrad Black, the most closely-watched media magnate in Canadian
history, was the convener of that 1996 meeting, during which -
exhibiting a new and disarming policy of openness - the Bilderbergers
released a list of attendees and a highly-generalized and non-specific
agenda. They tried the same proactive approach at their 1997 meeting in
Georgia; but now, apparently, find the comfort of dark anonymity and of
non-existent Press Releases to be more congenial to their purposes
again.

Well, unfortunately, much of their security effort has been wasted. For
here once again, following the tradition of free publicity for the
Bilderbergers which we first established at their 1996 meeting, are the
substantive issues which they discussed at their secretive 1998
Conference. Since the Bilderbergers make a point of never confirming or
denying the substance of their discussions, we invite our readers to
take note of the following items and to compare them with the contents
of their newspapers over the forthcoming months.

Our sources have shown an extraordinarily high degree of accuracy over
the past several years, as those who have purchased our detailed
Bilderberg Report can attest [see our Report web page at
http://www.inforamp.net/~jwhitley/bild.htm].

We need, for reasons which will quickly become obvious, to refresh our
readers' memories at this point.

During and following the 1996 Bilderberg Conference, we asserted that
Bilderberger Bill Clinton would be re-elected as U.S. president; that he
would promptly break his promise to bring American troops home from
Bosnia, but that he would re-position them in Hungary and the
surrounding countries instead and pass command of the Bosnian operation
to a German general and 3,000 German combat troops from Heidelberg [this
later occurred, in October, 1996]; and that the Bilderbergers had
thereafter arranged to inflame the Serbs by pursuing the war criminals
in their midst for trial before a new International Court [the Serbs, a
proud but experienced people, side-stepped this provocation by
persuading the lower- and middle-level suspects to voluntarily
surrender].

If that failed to incite a Balkan war, then we pointed out that they
were prepared to utilize Kosovo to bring one about:

"When war comes, as expected, Kosovo, at the southern tip of the Serbian
Republic, may be the flashpoint that ignites a wider war involving
Greece, Albania, Bulgaria, Russia, and Turkey - in addition to the
hapless U.S. and NATO troops caught in the middle. Kosovo, "the
Jerusalem of the Balkans", is a self-proclaimed nominally independent
"republic", presided over by "President" Ibrahim Rugova. It is, in fact,
a province of Serbia, though its population is largely of Albanian
descent. The United States, though on record as recommending more "au-
tonomy" for Kosovo, treats the province to all intents and purposes as a
de facto independent state, a fact which infuriates the Serbians. Twice
- once in 1992 and again in 1993 - Presidents of the United States have
threatened Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic with military
retribution "in the event of a conflict in Kosovo caused by Serbian
action." To add insult to injury, the U.S. now plans to establish an
"official presence" in "the capital of Kosovo." Aggrieved by this, and
rightly sensing the intent of the United States to encircle and contain
them, the Serbians are likely to appeal to an increasingly-nationalistic
Russia, their traditional protectors, for help and military assistance.
As reported by Germany's DIE ZEIT, "Serbia is every place where there
are Serbian trenches or Serbian graves", according to Serbian opposition
leader Val Draskovic. That means that Serbia will fight to retain
Kovoso, in spite of the fact that its population is 90% Albanian. The
Albanian Kosovans, determined to be independent, will fight back. That
will likely draw into the conflict the 3.4 million inhabitants of
Albania proper, together with the Albanians of Montenegro and Macedonia.
Albania also has openly-expressed designs on Macedonia's western
provinces, largely populated by Albanians: at least one armed
insurrection directed by Albania has been foiled by the Macedonian
authorities, and the Albanians continue to openly support and encourage
Macedonian Albanian separatist groups. Bulgaria, which considers
Macedonians to be "western Bulgarians", may then go to war for the
fourth time this century to seize the opportunity to finally settle its
territorial claim there. Greece, already incensed by Macedonia's use of
the Greek "Vergina Sun" symbol on its flag and suspicious of the
Macedonian Republic's supposed intention to form a "Greater Macedonia"
by inciting insurrection and separation in the Greek province of
Macedonia, may well then take advantage of events to settle the issue
once and for all. Turkey, acting in defence of its Muslim brethren in
Bosnia, and infuriated by the actions of its traditional rival Greece
against the Macedonian Republic, could then scarcely be refrained from
joining the fray.

The "Albanian issue", centred in Kosovo and overshadowed by the larger
Serb-Bosnian tensions, is a powderkeg waiting to explode. And when it
does, the whole region will explode with it."
- from our 1996 BILDERBERGER REPORT [almost three years later, these
things are now happening!]

The Serbs, scenting the trap thus laid for them, have confined
themselves to short, repressive police actions against the Kosovan
Albanian population, none of which have been sufficient in duration,
extent or intensity to provide the pretext necessary for the
Bilderberger elite to rally Western European and American public support
for a full-fledged military engagement of the Serbs. So their methodical
preparation, financing and arming of the newly-revealed Kosovan
Liberation Army has so far provided the Bilderbergers with no dividends
at all...and the clock is running on their schedule. They need this war,
and they need it soon.

Kosovo: 'The war is about the mines'

By Sara Flounders

Wars are at root about economics, and the rapidly expanding war in Kosovo
is no different. So why have millions of dollars in high-tech weapons
suddenly become available to the so-called Kosovo Liberation Army by way of
the U.S. and Germany?

A July 11 report by New York Times Balkans bureau chief Chris Hedges
describes the KLA's new arsenal the latest anti-tank rocket-propelled
grenades and anti-aircraft weapons. These weapons are shifting the balance
of power toward the KLA, which is funded fully by outside sources, mostly
from the U.S. and Germany.

The KLA is "fed by recruits, money and arms from outside Serbia," Hedges
confirms. It has an "inexhaustible supply line," he reports.

"Rebel soldiers, in full uniform with the red and black patch of the Kosovo
Liberation Army, pull thick wads of German marks from their pockets. There
are also signs that the arrival of dozens of former professional soldiers
as well as some mercenaries are turning the ragtag band into a viable
military force of several thousand fighters." In fact, the KLA is
primarily a mercenary army funded by the kind of shadowy sources that have
long been associated with U.S. and German intelligence services. It is a
contra army.

Kosovo is often portrayed in the media as an isolated mountainous region
that's poor and without resources. It might seem, from these accounts, to
be an area of interest only to those who live there.
The New York Times, for example, has carried dozens of such articles by
Chris Hedges in the last six months. Only once, on July 8, did Hedges
write about the real wealth of Kosovo the Stari Trg mining complex. It was
a tip-off that something more was at stake in this war.

Hedges' visit to the Stari Trg mining complex is an eye opener. He
describes the glittering veins of lead, zinc, cadmium, gold and silver in
Stari Trg. According to Hedges, "The sprawling state-owned Trepca mining
complex, the most valuable piece of real estate in the Balkans, is worth at
least $5 billion." According to the mine's director, Novak Bjelic, "The war
in Kosovo is about the mines, nothing else. This is Serbia's Kuwait the
heart of Kosovo.

... In addition to all this, Kosovo has 17 billion tons of coal reserves."
The whole world knows and observed firsthand in the war against Iraq to
what horrendous extent the Pentagon was willing to go in order to guarantee
control of the oil wealth of Kuwait. But the enormous mineral wealth of
Kosovo is never publicly discussed by U.S. United Nations Ambassador
Richard Holbrooke, President Bill Clinton or the Pentagon generals. They
speak only of "self-determination" of the Albanian population of Kosovo.
Of course, they never mention what U.S.-imposed "self-determination" means.
It means colonization under the guise of "liberation," like what the U.S.
did to Puerto Rico, Cuba and the Philippines a hundred years ago.

An Internet search for reports on the mines of Kosovo the Trepca mining
complex or Stari Trg turned up only the one article by Hedges and a small
piece in the June 22 Wall Street Journal. All other mentions are in
metallurgical journals. How could this vital fact be omitted from all
discussion of what is at stake in Kosovo? It is comparable to describing
Kuwait and the oil-rich Gulf states as barren deserts. The wealth of Kosovo
is greater than the rich veins of ore in the mines. Hedges describes the
mining complex: "The Stari Trg mine, with its warehouses, is ringed with
smelting plants, 17 metal treatment sites, freight yards, railroad lines, a
power plant and the country's largest battery plant."

The labor power of millions of workers throughout socialist Yugoslavia
built this mining complex into the powerhouse it is today. It was their
wealth that was invested in developing the complex. It belongs not just to
those who live in Kosovo, but to the workers of all Yugoslavia. The
Yugoslav web site www.yugo slavia.com describes Trepca as the "richest lead
and zinc mines in Europe." Lignite deposits in the Kosovo mines are,
according to experts, sufficient for the next 13 centuries. The capacity
of the lead and zinc refineries ranks third in the world.

Miners work round the clock, day and night, in six-hour shifts. According
to the mine director, "In the last three years we have mined 2,538,124
tons of lead and zinc crude ore and produced 286,502 tons of lead and zinc
and 139,789 tons of pure lead, zinc, cadmium, silver and gold." Although
the average person watching the news in the evening has never heard of
Stari Trg, it has been a prize changing hands for two thousand years.
The wealth of Stari Trg is legendary. Precious metals were mined there
more than 2,000 years ago, first by the Greeks, then by the Romans.

These mines were the grand prize in the Nazi occupation of the Balkans
after Germany grabbed control from the British. The mines have great
industrial and military importance. The Nazis used batteries produced
there to power their U-boats. Today submarine batteries are still made
there. Profits from these mines are helping to keep the Yugoslav Federation
afloat.

U.S. and UN sanctions imposed on Serbia and Montenegro, the two remaining
republics of Yugoslavia, have taken an enormous toll. Without investment
credits, loans for financing industry, imports and exports, the economy has
been stifled. Inflation has weakened the currency. The mines, which once
were the largest employer in the province, have also been affected. The
most important words in Hedges' article are the description of the complex
as "state owned." Throughout this decade, as the capitalist market has
swept over the former socialist countries of Eastern Europe and the Soviet
Union, socialist Yugoslavia has attempted to resist privatization of its
industry and natural resources. To break this resistance, the Western
imperialist countries played a major role in the breakup of socialist
Yugoslavia.

This huge complex of mines, refining, power and transportation in Kosovo
may well be the largest uncontested piece of wealth not yet in the hands of
the big capitalists of the U.S. or Europe. The industry, natural resources
and transportation of all the former Soviet republics, the socialist
countries of Eastern Europe, and the secessionist republics of Yugoslavia
are now being rapidly privatized. No one within the region has the wealth
or connections to finance capital to buy controlling shares of these vast
state-owned industries. The major Western corporations are gobbling these
industries up.


While the fate of some industries is still in negotiation, the lending and
credit conditions of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank
require the breakup of all state-owned industries. This is true for the
oil and natural gas wealth in the Caucasus and the Caspian Sea as well as
the diamond mines of Siberia.
The decision on who will own or have controlling interest in the 22 mines
and the many processing plants of the Trepca complex will be made by
whoever wins the armed struggle raging in Kosovo. NATO domination on the
ground would put U.S. corporations in the best ownership position.
Nationalist strife advances their position.

Although being forced to privatize in order to survive in today's global
market, Yugoslavia has tried to control the process and to propose Balkan
regional development.

According to the June 22 Wall Street Journal, the Yugoslav Federation is in
negotiations to sell shares in the Trepca mining complex. Forced by the
economic crisis, they have been negotiating with a Greek
investor Mytilineos Holdings SA for partial ownership. The former manager
of the mines, Byrhan Kavaja who is now allied with the opposition to the
Yugoslav government has written to all corporations dealing in soft metals
to tell them not to make agreements with the Yugoslav government. Kavaja
says that once a new government is in power, all past decisions on
ownership will be invalidated. The opposition will make "new agreements."
Who is likely to be the beneficiary of these agreements?

The progressive movement in the U.S. and throughout Western Europe must be
at the forefront in explaining that the billions of dollars spent on the
U.S./NATO occupation of the region is not in the interests of any of the
people of the Balkans. Nor is it in the interests of poor and working
people in the U.S. or Europe. The war is destroying all that was built
through collective ownership and collaboration in the Balkans. This war
will mean higher taxes and even more cuts in social programs in the U.S and
Europe. But the billions of dollars in profit will go to a few wealthy
stockholders in the U.S. or in Western Europe.

While watching an early morning TV news show, "Good Day NY" on FOX
channel 5 in NY at about 8:12 - 8:14 AM est on 3-26-1999 there was a
segment on called "Crisis in Kosovo." The guest for this segment was a
Mr. Cliff Bragdon, he claims to be a military and defense expert,
while being questioned on the aircraft and technology being used by
the USA military in Kosovo, Mr. Cliff Bragdon stated that the Stealth
B2 Bomber "uses antigravity technology". thank you, Alex Cavallari

(NOTE: IF YOU ARE CURIOUS TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS ANTIGRAVITY TECHNOLOGY, GO AT

CHECK THE LINK WITH "Antigravity Drives" IN IT.)

Here is a relevant quote from another of Mr. Boylan Internet published
documents:

Colonel Donald Ware, USAF (ret.) told me that he recently learned from a
three-star General that the X-33 has electrogravitics (antigravity) system
on board, [as the unacknowledged military version I estimate exists must
surely also have.] This antigravity electrogravitics system has already
been operationally proven on the B-2 Stealth bomber, which Colonel Ware has
revealed also has electrogravitics system on board.

The late Colonel Steve Wilson, USAF (ret.), Skywatch's founder, stated that
military astronauts trained at a secret aerospace academy separate from the
regular Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs, Co. These military
astronauts operate out of Beale and Vandenberg Air Force Bases, Northern
California From those bases, these military astronauts regularly fly
trans-atmospherically and into space. One of the aerospace craft they use,
Colonel Wilson reported, is the X-33A, a two-man antigravity discoid ship.
Whether they also fly the Aurora and the military version of the X-33A
spaceplane has not been confirmed, but likely.

DRUDGE REPORT - MONDAY, MARCH 29, 1999

RUSSIAN MILITARY ACCUSES USA OF TESTING NEW SECRET BOMB IN YUGOSLAVIA

Russian military officials late on Monday night accused the United
States of testing a new secret weapon in Yugoslavia -- a weapon that
is somewhere between conventional and nuclear! "The United States is
using Yugoslavia as a test range for its latest secret means of
destruction," representatives of the Russian Defense ministry told
reporters late Monday night. The Pentagon refused immediate comment.
Russia claims that a bomb tested in Yugoslavia radically differs from
conventional weapons. "It was created in Los Alamos and is aimed to
destroy radio electronic equipment," the TASS newswire reported in
Tuesday flashes. The military said that the bomb generates an
electric impulse similar to electromagnetic fluctuations caused by a
nuclear explosion. They added that the bombs are being carried by two
strategic B-2 bombers of the Stealth technology. Russian military
officials provided no other details. FOOTNOTE: This late night report
from Russia's newswire service continues a strange trend that has
developed in the past week. By night, the ITAR-TASS wire moves
provocative scare stories -- many on Russian plans for military
maneuvers. [On the first night of NATO bombings in Kosovo, TASS
shocked with a report that Moscow was considering moving nuclear
weapons to southern regions of Russia. Late night reports that Russian
ships were maneuvering also created intrigue.] But during daylight
hours in Moscow, TASS, the official state news agency for Russia,
turns more diplomatic, most military talk vanishes. There appears to
be two forces at work inside of the Kremlin, the main source for TASS
military reports. A dark and cold-warlike force appears to be
operating at night when Yelstin and his close advisers are sleeping.
Due to expanding information technology, these provocative late night
stories quickly move outside of Russia and instantly bounce throughout
the world. In the morning, Yelstin and others rush news releases that
completely counter the reports that surface on TASS at night.

Peace Concert

PLEASE DISTRIBUTE THIS AS WIDELY AS POSSIBLE

James Twyman, author of 'Emissary of Light' will perform
'The Peace Concert' for refugees on the border of Kosovo
and Macedonia on Saturday April 10,1999. At 16.00 GMT
(12pm New York, 5pm UK,) millions of people worldwide
will join him in prayer, sending this important message
to the world--
Prayer is more powerful than any weapon, any airstrike and
any ethnic assault. We have the ability to end this crisis,
but only if we do it together.

In 1998 we experienced the power of prayer many times,
especially in the healing of international conflicts.
In February, Peace Troubadour James Twyman was invited to
Iraq at a time war seemed unavoidable. Millions
prayed at the same time he performed on national Iraqi
television, and three days later the peace accord was signed.
A week later Twyman was invited to sing at Stormont Castle
in Belfast and once again millions joined him in prayer.
Three days later a breakthrough occurred in the talks that
allowed the leaders of the political parties to sign the
peace accord a month ahead of schedule. On November 13,
James Twyman, Gregg Braden and Doreen Virtue sponsored a
world prayer vigil called 'There is Nothing to Fear.'
During the vigil President Clinton ordered US jets to
begin bombing Iraq. Three hours later, before a single
missile was fired, he unexpectedly ordered them to stand
down--twice.

The situation in Kosovo is desperate. The airstrikes have
failed and we find ourselves at the brink of an escalating
war. It is time for us to step forward and activate the most
powerful force in our spiritual armory--prayer. Join millions
of people on April 10th and help bring peace to Kosovo and
Serbia.

James Twyman has allowed a portion on his new yet to be
published book entitled 'The Secret Order of the Beloved
Disciple' to be printed on the web page specified at the
end of this email.

These few pages outline the spiritual importance of Kosovo as well
as the esoteric history of this troubled area. We recommend that
everyone read this information in order to gain a deeper insight
into this conflict.

When praying for peace at this or any time we recommend that
you simply 'feel' the experience of peace and harmony, then
ask for that feeling to be applied to the desired area of the
world. In other words do not pray for the bombing to end, or
for Serbia to retreat. It is the feeling of peace that works
the magic, not the thought. We do not claim to know the solution.
We simply ask to be used as instruments of peace, and to let our
light shine where it is most needed. If words are needed say
something like 'Peace prevails now in Kosovo and Serbia.' Then
feel the presence of peace in that area, say thank you, and end
your prayer.

May Peace Prevail on Earth and in Kosovo!

(James Twyman is scheduled to fly to Skopja, Macedonia, at the end
of the week. If he cannot reach his destination he will focus the
energy with prayer wherever he is.)

An extract from The Secret Order of the Beloved Disciple

by James Twyman

I decided to call Fr. John three days after our visit with Maya and
Ishtar. Much to my amazement, as soon as he answered the phone I felt the
heavy weight leave. I introduced myself and told him who had given me his
number.

"Yes, Maya told me you might call." he said. "It sounds like you had
quite an adventure in former Yugoslavia. I just bought your book ‘Emissary
of Light’ but haven’t had a chance to read it yet."

“According to Maya you have been to Bosnia as well,” I said. “Yes,
several times. I was stuck in Sarajevo once during the height of the war,
then went back a year later to plant a peace pole at the exact spot where
ArchDuke Ferdinand was assassinated in 1914 sparking World War I. It
appears the earth has a tendency to remember powerful events, regardless
of whether they’re positive or negative...on an energetic level, of
course. I believe that planting a peace pole and saying certain prayers
can help neutralize a negative vortex and bring it back to normal. That
has been one of the more bizarre areas of my work lately.”

I then told him about the concert I was scheduled to perform in
Belgrade. He explained that he had wanted to go to Serbia for a long time.

“There is a region of Serbia called Kosovo which is ready to explode
in ethnic warfare at any time,” he said. “In Kosovo there is a place
called the ‘Field of the Blackbirds’ which has been an energetic point
zero for all the negative events that have taken place there for the last
seven hundred years. During the Crusades there was a battle on this small
area of land and the entire Serbian army was slaughtered. It became their
battle cry, ‘Remember the Field of the Blackbirds,' and they’ve been
saying it ever since. Almost every conflict in that region of the world
has had some connection to that field.
I believe it is because the land itself has not been healed. I want
to go there with a peace pole and conduct the same ceremony we did in
Sarajevo.”

He definitely didn’t talk like any priest I had ever heard before.
Catholic priests don’t normally believe in things like, “healing the
land,” or "negative energy vortex’s.” If for no other reason than that I
knew I had to meet him. He agreed and we decided that Jennifer and I would
join him at his house the next evening.

“I have been waiting for an opportunity like this for a very long
time,” John said to me. “I believe that the Emissaries you met in the
mountains of Bosnia are the most secret and elusive branch of the
‘Community of the Beloved’ founded by St.John. And I also believe that
they know what we only suspect, that the time of the Second Coming is at
hand. I also have a feeling I know who this ‘new teacher’ is, but I can’t
say anything about it yet. There is a woman I want you to meet, a shaman
who lives in Los Angeles named Shrinat Devi. I believe that she will know
what we should do next. But we should wait until we’re ready to leave for
Serbia before we see her.”

“I don’t understand,” I said. “Are you planning on coming with me?”

“If you don’t mind I feel it’s important that I go. I want to bring a
peace pole and plant it at the ‘Field of Blackbirds.' I think your concert
is the perfect reason to go, and once we are there we can do the real
work. I also believe that we will be shown more about the ‘next teacher’
the Emissaries spoke of. That’s really want you want isn’t it?”

I agreed and we decided to plan the trip together. The sudden change
in direction startled me, but it felt right. there was something about Fr.
John that completely intrigued me and his knowledge about the lineage of
St. John suddenly seemed invaluable. Jennifer and I said goodnight and I
promised to call him the next day to arrange our visas and or flight.

(From a report submitted by Fr. John entitled: The Real Meaning of
the Battle of Kosovo) The battle of Kosovo took place on June 28, 1389
between a Christian Coalition led by Tsar Lazar of Serbia and the Turkish
Muslim forces led by King Murad. In addition to being a great leader, Tsar
Lazar was also a very spiritual and holy man.
In a story told to every Serbian school child for countless
generations, an extraordinary event is recounted. The night before the
battle God appeared to Tsar Lazar and told him he could win either a great
material or a great spiritual victory. It was his choice. Being a man of
profound Christian faith, Tsar did not hesitate and chose the spiritual
victory. The next day the battle was lost and both Tsar Lazar and King
Murad were killed.

The misinterpretation of that event by Serbian nationalists has led
to their denial of Tsar Lazar’s vow as well as the promise given to him by
God. It is as if the ancient battle had never been lost, as if the Muslims
had never fought in Kosovo at all, or that the 400 year cultural flowering
and unique legacy of Muslims and Christians living together in Bosnia
never occurred.

Tsar Lazar’s choice of a great spiritual victory led eventually to
the flowering of diverse religious and ethnic cultures, all living
together in peace and harmony. This was most profound in Sarajevo, a model
of hope for the future of the world and a bulwark against religious
fundamentalism and fanaticism. In their denial and misunderstanding of
this, and ultimately the building of Gazi Mestan in Kosovo, a monument
symbolizing Serbian ethnic and religious nationalism, the values Tsar
Lazar had repudiated in his choice for a spiritual victory were lost.
Serbia went against their greatest spiritual leader, his vow and choice,
and God’s promise to him.

It is well known that World War I was triggered by the assassination
of ArchDuke Ferdinand on June 1914 by a Serbian named Gavrilo Princep.
This in turn paved the way for World War II, the rise of Adolf Hitler and
the Nazi party, the Holocaust, and many other horrors. the war in former
Yugoslavia ended nearly a century of European warfare with ethnic violence
that had not been seen since Hitler. What is not so well known are the
links of all these events to Kosovo and the promise to Tsar Lazar.

Gavrilo Princep, a Serbian nationalist, specifically chose the day of
June 28 to assassinate the ArchDuke. It was the anniversary of the Battle
of Kosovo, but what he did not know was the true nature of the group that
sponsored the assassination and from whom he took direction. They were not
the like-minded nationalists Princep thought they were, but a secret
Serbian occult terrorist organization that called themselves “The Black
Hand.” In this light the events of 1914-1945 and their spiritual
significance take on a whole new meaning.

The continuation of these events bring us back to Kosovo on June 28,
1989, the 600th anniversary of the battle. President Milosevic of Serbia,
also the last president of Yugoslavia, gave an historic speech on the
battlefield of Kosovo to rally the last vestiges of a greater Serbia. This
final tragic misinterpretation of the spiritual victory won at the battle
of Kosovo and God’s promise to Tsar Lazar set into motion all the terrible
events that have taken place in Bosnia, Croatia, Slovenia and now Kosovo
over the last ten years. These have all these been the dark fruits of the
misunderstanding of the Battle of Kosovo.


Please distribute this to as many people as possible. It is extremely
important that we understand the history behind the Balkans conflict.

We have an opportunity to use this common concern to unite millions in
love and with thoughts of peace in a way never before possible. The
promise of a great spiritual victory that God made to to Tsar Lazar can
now be fulfilled.

Yes Roger, I do agree about mobilizing in prayer as opposed to sympathy.
The universe rejoices at hearing our love and compassion being offered up
with the best intentions for our fellow humans. I remember and treat for
everyone involved in this event, especially those who gain erroneously from
the suffering of others through false power, greed, anger and
maliciousness. "Love your enemies" and "forgive them seventy times seven."
It sounds so strange and is so foreign to human nature, but it is the
Truth. I join with all those true hearts who pray for God's will.

Blessings to you.
