What the Serbs Say are the Real Reasons Behind the War
1. Kosovo is one of the richest areas in minerals, especially uranium.
These resources must fall into the hands of the cartels and the USA
military machine.
2. A new Muslim state in the Balkans will help the creation of the
"Muslim corridor", a plan to use a long series of Muslim states from
Albania to Pacific Ocean and which will primarily isolate Russia and
China. The Muslim corridor will start from Albania and Monastirion
and Thrace will be the next steps.
3. New World Order demands the destruction of ethnic states, their
transformation into multinational states which will be easily
controlled, and the creation of small and financially and militarily
weak protectorates. Interestingly enough, the only country allowed
to have a strong ethnic character is Israel.
4. The Balkans are a primary target for the New World Order. The oil
of the Aegean Sea will fall in the hands of the cartels when the
Balkans are divided into a lot of small states constantly disputing with
each other, which Turkey will survey, Turkey is also divided into
parts and a new "Balkan Union" under USA protection emerges, the
Aegean Sea and Thrace-Macedonia, with their resources in oil and
minerals become "buffer zones" under no one's ownership.
5. Kosovo is a strategic spot. He who controls Kosovo can control the
Balkans. He who controls the Balkans can control the passages
between Europe, Asia and Africa, including oil pipeline routes. The
new USA dogma is "Eurasia control" and "infiltration". Israel controls
the Arabs, Turkey is backing Israel, and both control the wider area
of Middle East.
6. Kosovo is one of the gates of Europe. The international drug
traffic route from Asia to Europe, planned by the cartels and USA
secret services and joined by Turkish state, passes through Kosovo
and at this moment is controlled by UCK (Large quantities of drugs
were discovered in UCK crypts in Kosovo but the Western media
never mention this). The same way Kosovo is a passage for
ordnance smuggling and transportation. Its occupation will help
ordnance transportation to Israel and the movement of Muslim
populations into Europe via the Albanian-Greek borders.
7. Till now, Yugoslavia was an almost completely self-dependent
country. The cartels demand infiltration in every possible market.
USA constantly threatens China demanding the infiltration into
Chinese economy and culture. Yugoslavia was considered an easy
victim the same way it happened with Japan during the 18th century.
The USA makes war against every country they can't make a profit
from. After the total destruction of Yugoslavia, American and British
companies will take control of the area and establish an economic
dictatorship the same way it happened in Greece after 1948.
The US/NATO War in Yugoslavia:
Five Myths
published by International Action Center, www.iacenter.org
Myth #1. U.S./NATO had to attack "the Serbs" because the
Yugoslav government and President Slobodan Milosevic refused to
negotiate on Kosovo, a region of Yugoslavia where ethnic Albanians
are the majority.
Reality: U.S./NATO bombs are falling on all Yugoslavs: Serbians,
Montenegrins, Albanians, Hungarians, Romanis and other peoples
who make up the multiethnic Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. There
were no "negotiations." U.S. officials like Secretary of State
Madeleine Albright, went out of their way to make this point when
"peace talks" were held in France in February. Instead, there was an
ultimatum presented by the U.S. government to the Yugoslav
government that had three points: 1) Kosovo must be granted
autonomy; 2) NATO must be allowed to station 30,000 ground troops
in Yugoslavia to ensure this autonomy; and 3) A NATO-conducted
referendum for Kosovo's independence from Yugoslavia would take
place within three years. The Yugoslav government agreed to the
first condition, and rejected the second and third, saying they were a
gross violation of their sovereignty and the independence of their
country.
Myth #2. Yugoslavia is the aggressor in this conflict and
Milosevic is a "new Hitler."
Reality: No Yugoslav soldiers, planes or ships are attacking
another country. The conflict in Kosovo is an internal issue. A
developing country of 10 million people, Yugoslavia is being attacked
by 19 countries, including the biggest military powers in the world,
which have a combined population of more than half a billion people.
Milosevic has been demonized. As a State Department official said,
"the demonization of Milosevic is necessary to maintain the air
attacks." (S.F. Chronicle, Mar. 30, 1999)
Myth #3. Clinton, Albright and the Pentagon generals were
moved to action by their concerns about "ethnic cleansing" and
human suffering.
Reality: The U.S., Germany and other NATO powers played a key
role in breaking up Yugoslavia in 1991-92, arming and supporting
secessionist movements. For 45 years after World War II, the many
nationalities that made up Yugoslavia lived together in peace. In the
civil wars, which followed the break-up of Yugoslavia, there was
much bloodshed and human rights violations on all sides. The biggest
single act of "ethnic cleansing" was the forced removal of 600,000
Serbs from the Krajina region of Croatia (a former Yugoslav
republic) by the U.S.-trained and armed Croatian military in 1995.
More than 55,000 of these Serbs, who were resettled in Kosovo, are
among the hundreds of thousands of people made refugees by
NATO bombing and the conflict in Kosovo. (Julia Taft, Asst. Secretary
of State on C-SPAN, 3-29-99) The U.S. "concern" about removal of
people from their homeland is very selective. This is not surprising:
Virtually the entire continent of North America was "ethnically
cleansed" of Native people to make way for the U.S. and Canada,
two of the NATO powers. U.S. policy has supported, with arms and
money, the removal of Kurdish people in Turkey, Palestinians, East
Timorese, Guatemalan indigenous people -- and the list goes on.
Myth #4. The U.S./NATO goal is to protect the rights of the
predominantly Muslim Albanians in Kosovo.
Reality: U.S. officials pretend to care about the rights of Muslim
people in Yugoslavia, while their policy of sanctions and war kills 300
Iraqis every day -- half children under 5 years old. Most Iraqis are
Muslims.
The Pentagon is not a humanitarian relief agency and the
corporate-owned politicians don't really care about any people --
Albanians, Serbs, Kurds, Iraqis, or the poor and working people of
this country.
This war is killing people of all nationalities in Yugoslavia, and
poisoning their land with radioactive depleted uranium (DU)
weapons. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, U.S. veterans and their
families are suffering from Gulf War Syndrome as a result of
depleted uranium poisoning. The Clinton administration and the
Pentagon talk about "supporting our troops" before they go into
battle, but then deny medical benefits to veterans who suffer from
the after-effects of Agent Orange from Vietnam or DU from Iraq.
This war will cost many billions of dollars, money stolen from housing,
health care, education and other social programs. Each cruise missile
costs $1 million. The only ones who will benefit from this war will be
the military-industrial complex and big business.
The real U.S./NATO goal is to break Yugoslavia into ever-smaller
pieces and bomb its people into submission. The Balkans is a
strategic region, a crossroads between Western Europe and the
oil-rich Middle East and Caspian Basin. The U.S. has established, in
only 5 years, military domination of the former Yugoslav republics of
Croatia, Bosnia and Macedonia, as well as Hungary and Albania. The
only hold-out has been what is today the Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia. This is the real reason why Yugoslavia has become the
target in the Balkans, just as it is the real reason that Iraq has
become the target in the Persian/Arabian Gulf region.
Myth #5. U.S. news reports are balanced and impartial, giving
us the true story.
Reality: What we see today is a gross distortion of the facts. The
media is dominated by big business interests, and functions as a
Pentagon propaganda machine. For political purposes, the suffering
of only one group, the refugees leaving Kosovo, is shown, while the
other Yugoslav victims of the NATO bombing are virtually ignored.
The New York Times, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, The Chronicle Examiner,
and others have given a very slanted view of events in Yugoslavia, to
justify the massive bombing. General Electric, one of the country's
largest military contractors which supplies engines for NATO jet
fighters, owns NBC and co-owns MS/NBC.
