Dear Reader,

In the past, we published some writing by one George Pumphrey, challenging the claim that the Serbs committed genocide in Srebrenica.  At the time, Mr. Pumphrey was virtually alone outside Yugoslavia in producing a text challenging the massacre story. Subsequently, we published about a dozen pieces by various authors (including me) arguing against the massacre line.  Personally, I think these later articles are more readable and better argued than Pumphrey's, but that is beside the point: we didn't remove Pumphrey's text from Emperor's Clothes because of their lack of readability or poor structure but because, in recent years, Pumphrey has joined in the worldwide campaign propagating antisemitic racism and calling for Israel's destruction (regarding which, the Jews would constitute collateral damage.) For example, he was one of the first to aggressively promote  Israel Shamir, whose writing imitates that of Nazi Alfred Rosenberg. Mr. Pumphrey is a bureaucrat in the German PDS, heir to the East German Communist Party. Sad to say, the PDS has distinguished itself by the fervor of its support for neo-liberal economic reforms that wreck havoc on the German working class while on an international level it supports Arab antisemitism and terror against Israel. As they say, the nut did not fall far from the tree.

The effort to link the defense of Serbs to fascism (with or without a pleasant Red veneer) is discussed in some Emperor's Clothes articles listed below. Following that, I have posted a list of articles challenging the official story on Srebrenica.

Cordially,
Jared Israel
Editor, Emperor's Clothes

4) Apologists for Fascism have become the Public Voice of Slobodan Milosevic,"
by Jared Israel
http://emperors-clothes.com/analysis/smear.htm 

Emperor's Clothes editor Jared Israel was a founder and, for two years, co-Chair of Milosevic's defense committee.  He was expelled from the committee when he refused to sanction keeping Ramsey Clark as the committee's honorary President. Jared Israel argued that Ramsey Clark was an apologist for Islamism (not to mention that Clark had publicly supported the media accusation that the Bosnian Serb leaders are war criminals) and that linking to him would dishonor the Serbian people.  Israel prepared a lengthy brief on Ramsey Clark, which Mr. Milosevic read. When it became clear that Milosevic would not dissociate from Clark, Israel wrote an open letter to Milosevic.

4) “Reporter's Account of Evening Spent with Commander of Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica,” at
http://emperors-clothes.com/analysis/oric.htm

Oric's crimes are reminiscent of atrocities committed by Bosnia Muslim Waffen SS troops during World War II. During the 1990s some articles in a Sarajevo Muslim extremist newspaper fondly remembered the Nazi-organized Waffen SS, whose activities Oric emulated. These articles are translated, with comments, in "Himmler was their Defender," at
