Yesterday, Bosnia - Kosovo, tomorrow?
When in 1946, General Dwight D. Eisenhower drafted a policy suggesting creation of a complex in which military, industry, science and technology would come together, little did he know what a dangerous monster he had helped to create.
The goal of this monstrous machine is to control the destiny of the world and in return reap tremendous benefits. The Pentagon document, "The Defense Planning Guide," states "that the only possible course for the United States to pursue is complete world dominion - militarily and politically." The destiny of the Balkan nations is also written in that guide: "It is of fundamental importance to preserve NATO as the primary instrument of Western defense and security as well as the channel for U.S. influence and participation in European security affairs ... We must seek to prevent the emergence of European-only security arrangements which would undermine NATO."
The United States has a mission to accomplish: support NATO and use it as a cloak to advance its influence in the world. In order to accomplish this it needs playing fields to exercise its mighty powers.
Former Yugoslavia with its multi-ethnic population is an easy target to start any violence or rebellion.
And ever-present CIA thought: let's incite Albanians in Kosovo, and Muslims in Bosnia, Croatian and Slovenian republics, to seek independence. That will rile Serbs and we'll step in to establish "peace." That they did.
The United States and NATO are having a field day in Bosnia and Kosovo.
Under the pretexts to prevent "ethnic cleansing," they bombed and are still bombing innocent people. A half-million Serbs from Croatia and Bosnia have been expelled with little more but bare lives. How big a number does it have to be to deserve a mention in the press?
Albanians and ethnically cleansed Serb refugees from Bosnia and Croatia are all suffering. It is of little concern to the United States and NATO as long as they practice their war games over people's destinies. The goal is to keep bombing the "vicious" Serbs, create the public sympathy for the "poor suffering people" to "prevent genocide," and permanently station "peace keeping" NATO troops in Kosovo. Once the troops are there they do not leave.
Presently there are 10,000 "peace keeping" troops in Macedonia itching to start their mission. This would open a door for American advance to the East.
Serbia, former Yugoslavia, is unfortunate to be located on the way to this goal. It lies on the crossroads between East and West, and its lands have been stampeded and trampled over by hoards of other conquerors since time immemorial.
Now water installations, electrical plants and sewer facilities are the target. What for? Because Serbs will not give up Kosovo? Would our government give up California or Florida if Latinos or Asians become the majority and wanted independence? Albanians in Kosovo have their schools, universities, newspapers, and TV and radio stations in their native language. They do not pay for any utilities, hospitals or schools. They were totally autonomous within the state of Yugoslavia and enjoyed more privileges than Serbs.
Kosovo and Metohia, the southern autonomous region of Serbia, has been Serbian land for centuries. It is the cradle of Serbian existence. It is often referred to as "Serbian Jerusalem." Today Serbs constitute only 10 percent of Kosovo's population. The "genocide" and "ethnic cleansing" of Albanians by Serbs are media fabrication controlled by our government and orchestrated to have the same effect that the Bosnian conflict did.
Anybody who cares to check history books will have difficulty finding that the Serbs ever attacked anyone. Serbs always had to defend themselves. And that is what they are doing today. If Albanians are uprooted from their homesteads it is brought upon them by the United States and NATO, so the Serbs could be blamed for it. That would justify bringing the "peace keeper" forces into Kosovo to serve as a stepping stone to further expansion eastward. Mission accomplished.
