Lessons From Kosovo
November 1999/Issue #18

We think the NATO/globalist war against Serbia a rather flagrant intervention against a sovereign nation and the attempts to kidnap and try Serbia's elected leadership; factors which have implications for all nations and peoples of the world.

Of the few reports that have come out of Kosovo by the kept press on Albanian "ethnic cleansing", the first such report seems to have been an attack on 40 undefended Serb farmers whilst harvesting.  A second report dated 17 August involves a mortar attack on the mainly Serb village of Klokot, which killed a 14 year old girl and a 16 year old boy and wounded five others.  The same Reuters report stated that up to 180,000 Serbs (i.e. most of the Serb population) have left the province during the months of June and July, fearing Albanian terrorism.  The Reuters report justifies this however by stating that the Albanians are simply exacting "revenge for the Serb violence against them."  Hence the complaint media are still intent on maintaining the fiction of the holy status of Albanians, and undoubtedly are not reporting the true magnitude of Albanian terrorism against what remains of the Serb population.

The Reuters report does refer however to international aid workers as describing the Albanian terrorism as "reverse ethnic cleansing."

BACKGROUND
Far from these Albanian terrorist actions being "revenge", the media has conveniently blurred the historical background to the whole conflict.

In 1987 The
NY Times reported that Kosovo was on the edge of civil war due to the ethnic cleansing by Kosovo Albanians against Serbs.  The Yugoslav army had uncovered hundreds of Albanian terrorist cells within its ranks.  In one instance an Albanian army conscript shot up his barracks killing and wounding his sleeping Serb bunkmates.

"Ethnic Albanians in Government have manipulated public funds and regulations to take over land belonging to Serbs", the report stated.  It goes on to state that Serb churches had been attacked, wells poisoned and crops burned.  Serb boys had been knifed and young Albanians were being told by their elders to rape Serb girls.

The
NY Times article cited an Albanian nationalist as stating the goal is to incorporate parts of Macadonia, Montenaegro, Serbia and all of Kosovo into a Greater Albania.
From 1980 to 1987 20,000 Serbs and Montenegrins fled Kosovo because of Albanian violence (
NY Times, 1 Nov 1987).

This was the situation when Milosovic decided to act and brought the army into the province to route the US-funded 25,000 man Kosovo Liberation Army, a gangster empire of drug runners who were at the time regarded by the UNO as a "terrorist organization."

WHAT CHANGED?
How then did a bunch of gangsters become the darlings of the globalist Establishment and the so-called "international community"?

Milosovic in defending his people from Albanian imperialism showed himself to be incompliant to the dictates of the New World Order.  Like Saddam Hussein such a figure that will not compromise the sovereignty of his nation at the behest of globalism is a threat to be eliminated.

In the time honoured manner of globalists and democratic crusaders, ethnic divisions were exploited to justify the invasion by globalist murder squads under the same hypocritical war cries that have been in use at least since World War I:  "world peace", "democracy", the "rights of small nations", etc. etc., conveniently leaving out the small matter of the huge mineral wealth of the province.

Just as US President Bush had called for all nations to enter a war against Iraq to build a "New World Order", Britain's sanctimonious Tony Blair called upon the world to "enter a new millennium" where national sovereignty can be submerged by globalist military intervention under the banner of "peace", where a nation's leadership and military commanders can be tried under force of "international law" before and "international war crimes tribunal" of belligerents on charges that could with a t least equal justice be brought against Clinton, Blair or Gen. Wesley Clark.

Susan Estrich, a big name in the Democratic Party and a close friend of the Clintons, described the war as "the first war of the 21st century:  a conflict not about communism, but about race and ethnicity."

She added that the prospect of America committing ground forces "speaks well for the future".
Gen. Clark, commander of the NATO forces, stated:  "There is no place in modern Europe for ethnically pure states.  That's the 19th century idea, and we are trying to transition into the 21st century, and we are going to do it with multi-ethnic states."

Hence the message from the globalists is perfectly clear:  submit to the "new internationalism" where peoples, nations and cultures become interchangeable economic units, or perish under the Iron Heel of globalist military power.

In July 1999 the US state Dept. stated it would direct its "humanitarian aid" (sic) to "Serb communities that oppose Milosovic."  This is an audacious admission of what cynics of such "aid" have long suspected:  that any "humanitarian" gesture on the part of the plutocratic states is just part of a subversive process.

There can no longer be any room for doubt, the crucial choice for the next century is:  Blood vs. Money.  The forces of tradition, folk, culture and soil; or the uprootedness of the plutocrat's cosmopolitanism and the global market place.
