Take this with a generous dose of salt. Ambassador Farish says the Balkans needs a NATO troop build-up to make it "a potential buffer against terror threats from the east." The problem is, the Balkans is itself rife with terrorism. There are presently tens of thousands of NATO troops in the Balkans. Are they working to stamp out this widespread terrorism? If this were the case it would be a nice little picture: NATO (directed by Washington) fights terror in the Balkans, in Afghanistan, everywhere. Nice; just not true. According to the 'Times,' one of the places where NATO would increase its troop strength is Macedonia, a country which has been attacked by the world's worst terrorists, the Kosovo Liberation Army or KLA. The KLA, based in the neighboring Serbian province of Kosovo, works under various names. In Macedonia it calls itself the NLA. In Kosovo it uses the cover of the United Nations-sponsored Kosovo Protection Corps, or KPC. A UN document, prepared for Secretary General Kofi Annan, accuses the KPC of 'murder, torture and extortion.' Aside from driving 350,000 Serbs, 'Gypsies,' Jews, Turks and Slavic Muslims from Kosovo and making life hell for those who remained:
The KLA (or KPC or NLA) appears to be just the kind of terrorist outfit that has finally driven Washington to stand up and take action against Evil. Right? Wrong.
Did the U.S./NATO stop sponsoring the KLA when NATO occupied Kosovo in the summer of 1999? No, admits the BBC. As recently as the winter of 2001:
The NATO command has worked closely with the KLA in the day to day running of Kosovo. It is no exaggeration to say that without NATO, the KLA could not have terrorized the non-Albanian population of Kosovo. (1) = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = If NATO were sincere about fighting terror, one would expect terrorists in the Balkans to oppose a NATO buildup. One would expect the local anti-terrorists to support it. Isn't that correct? Yet according to the 'Times:'
Why do those Macedonian government "hard-liners" oppose NATO? Because NATO has been trying to force them to surrender to the NLA (that is, KLA) terrorists. More horrifying, NATO operatives have served as the terrorists' military advisers - that is, as their officer corps:
Nothing like a delicate task. In a recent trip to Macedonia, Canadian combat veteran and military writer Scott Taylor met with the NLA terrorist leaders. These people boasted about the support they get from the USA and they proudly displayed their state-of-the-art U.S. weapons: (1a)
Among the terrorists attacking Macedonia are the same so-called 'Afghan Arabs' whom the U.S. sponsored, starting in the 1980s, and whom virtually every Russian believes the U.S. has backed in Chechnya. These are the forces associated with Osama bin Laden. (2) The plain truth is: the U.S. Establishment's policy in the Balkans has been to create terrorist-gangster regimes and weaken the forces sympathetic to Russia. The Balkans is a key area to control for any Power wishing to attack Russia. That is not a speculative remark; it is an historical fact. According to the 'Times' article, Washington's troop buildup is aimed at "turning the Balkans into a prominent theatre of operations and training." We are supposed to believe this is being done to create "a potential buffer against terror threats from the east." "Prominent theater of operations" sounds like a staging zone for military action to this writer. Why the urgent need to create a "prominent theater of operations" at this time? Because of the danger of "terrorism from the east" reports the 'Times.' And from where in the East might said terror come? Why, maybe it could come from - Turkey, reports the 'Times.' So let's get this straight. NATO, led by the U.S., is backing a huge buildup in the Balkans to protect against a possible danger from Turkey, the main U.S./ NATO ally in the Balkans. Meanwhile NATO, led by Washington, has created a huge terrorist apparatus in the Balkans. And why? Why has NATO supported the ethnic cleansing of Kosovo and a terrorist attack on Macedonia? Why, obviously, so that the Balkans can be a bulwark against terrorists. Got it, class? Study hard; there may be a quiz. Let us depart from this absolute and complete doubletalk and consider what is actually happening. The transformation of the Balkans into a "prominent theater" must be considered in the context of NATO's threatening behavior in the Baltic region, including NATO troop maneuvers in Lithuania and Washington's publicly-made threat (3) to instigate Contra-style terror against the former Soviet Republic of Belarus. It must be considered in the context of the massive deployment of US and British forces moving towards strategic Afghanistan. The Balkans, the Baltic region and Central Asia - the three strategic points if one wishes to attack Russia. One gets the distinct impression that Washington is slipping a noose around Russia's neck.(4) And all the stuff about fighting terrorism, all Washington's newfound hatred of Islamism (Washington's creation), all the Hollywood photo ops with Bush declaring "We'll get him dead or alive" and all the heartfelt reassurances that "the Islamic faith is not the enemy" and the mutual recriminations between Muslims and Jews - all this is a public spectacle meant to divert the masses from the real event, which is a massive military buildup whose only possible strategic goal can be: Russia. And why, you may ask, do the masses in the NATO countries need to be diverted from the truth? Because the masses are not Nazis. The masses are not in favor of dying for Imperial expansion, and the masses are most definitely not in favor of risking nuclear war. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Amidst the doubletalk about "promoting stability" and "buffers against terror,' the London 'Times' offers readers a glimpse into U.S. Ambassador to England Farish's inner man:
Oil is only part of the fascinating treasure in the former Soviet Union. For instance, Siberia is a treasure house of gold, natural gas, virgin forests and more. Moreover, this vast wealth is only part of the reason Washington wants to dominate the former Soviet Union. The rest of the reason is this: only the former Soviet Republics have the military might to resist U.S. domination. Washington wants to crush this potential power before the former Soviet Republics have time to re-group and possibly re-establish some semblance of a bi-polar world. Washington is dead serious, and this is a very serious game To read the The 'Times' article, go to http://www.sunday-times.co.uk/news/pages/sti/2001/09/23/stifgneur02003.html -- Jared Israel *** Subscribe to our newsletter at http://emperor.vwh.net/MailList/index.php Click here to send this email to a friend. = = = = = = = = = = = = (1) The KLA terrorists
