Kosovos invasjon i Makedonia.

Agim Ceku, ein av NATOs mest trufaste etniske rensarar i Kroatia og Kosovo,
står i følge the Sunday Times sentralt også i terrorinvasjonen i Makedonia.
Ikkje akkurat noko stor bombe, men det er synd og skam at han kan gjere det
i ein "FN"-utnemnd posisjon som leiar for KPC.
(Men denne støtten til Storalbanske krigsforbrytarar, er jo ei konsekvent
linje frå NATO og okkupasjonsadministrasjonen i Kosovo. For berre eit par
månader sidan utnemnde den nye keisaren av Kosovo (Hækkerup), Ramush
Haradinaj til ein plass i Kosovo-rådet samtidig med at UCK-brigaden hans
okkuperte Tanusevci i Makedonia.)

         SORRY VIRGINIA BUT THEY ARE NATO TROOPS, NOT 'REBELS'
           by Jared Israel with research by Rick Rozoff, George Thompson
and Max
                                         Sinclair. [11 June 2001]

      [News flash! Last night we received word from an employee at the
airport in Skopje that a Russian plane landed, was surrounded
      by Western personnel and was forced to take off without unloading.
We'll post more information if it becomes available. -
      Emperor's Clothes.]

The Kosovo Liberation Army terrorists (Oops! I'm supposed to say, 'The
National Liberation Army or NLA;' plus I'm supposed to call them 'rebels,'
not 'terrorists') are now directly threatening Skopje, capital of Macedonia.

The London 'Times' has published a news report about this. It unwittingly
supports the charge that the terrorists are in fact a unit of NATO.

The 'Times' article is called "Macedonia on Brink of War." You can read it
at http://www.sundaytimes.co.uk/news/pages/sti/2001/06/10/stifgneeu01001.html?

Or read my comments first, and then the article.

                                   TERRORISTS: ORGANIZED BY THE UN

The 'Times' article states that at least 800 of the Albanians attacking
Macedonia are members of the Kosovo Protection Corps:

      "[These] KPC reservists were called up by their Albanian commander,
Agim Ceku, in March."

The Kosovo Protection Corps was created by the UN, or UNMIK, the UN
apparatus in Kosovo. In creating the KPC, the UN simply
adorned the Kosovo Liberation Army terrorists with new uniforms and
equipment and a new name. Of course, their nature did not change:

      "Murder, torture and extortion: these are the extraordinary charges
made against the UN's own Kosovo Protection Corps in a
      confidential United Nations report written for Secretary-General Kofi
Annan.

      "The KPC stands accused in the document, drawn up on 29 February, of
'criminal activities - killings, ill-treatment/torture, illegal
      policing, abuse of authority, intimidation, breaches of political
neutrality and hate-speech'.

      "The 5,000-strong corps, funded by UN members including Britain, has
a £30 million aid budget for Kosovo. It was set up to
      provide 'disaster response services'; instead, says the UN, it has
been murdering and torturing people. " (March 12, 2000)

The above quote is from the London 'Observor.'

Kofi Annan has not denied the existence of the UN report. Nor has he denied
the truth of the charges against the KPC.

But he has also not ordered the KPC dissolved. And, finally, and perhaps
most damning, he has not punished the UN officials who made these
terrorist-gangsters into a UN-sanctioned, UN-paid organization. And in
doing so, who criminalized the UN.

Now the KLA/KPC torturers and murderers have invaded Macedonia.

Even if the UN hadn't officially organized the KPC, it is the sworn duty of
UN officials to uphold the UN charter and try to prevent aggressive wars
rather than hiring terrorists and giving them nice new uniforms in which to
launch them.

Moreover, UN Security Council Resolution 1244, under which the UN and NATO
occupy Kosovo, calls on the occupation forces to protect the sovereignty of
Macedonia:

      * "The KLA and other armed Kosovo Albanian groups [must] end
immediately all offensive actions and comply with the
      requirements for demilitarization...

      * "[The United Nations Security Council] condemns all terrorist acts
by any party [and reaffirms] the commitment of all Member
      States to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Federal
Republic of Yugoslavia and the other States of the region, as set out
      in the Helsinki Final Act...

      * "[The UN and the security forces operating under its jurisdiction
in Kosovo will see to the] demilitarizing the Kosovo Liberation
      Army (KLA) and other armed Kosovo Albanian groups."
http://www.nato.int/kosovo/docu/u990610a.htm

              CALLING UP THE RESERVISTS...IS THAT LIKE 'NIGHT OF THE LIVING
DEAD?'

According to the 'Times,' in March, KPC chief Agim Ceku called up the KPC
'reservists.'

Concerning Mr. Ceku, he was (and still is) one of the two top leaders of
the Kosovo Liberation Army. The other top leader is Hacim Thaci.

The U.S. put Ceku in charge of the KLA in 1999. His obvious qualification:
he was artillery chief in the U.S.-led Croatian Army when it
launched a war of terror in the Krajina region of Yugoslavia. 250,000 Serbs
were driven from their ancestral homes.

Following the U.S. lead, the UN then put Ceku in charge of the Kosovo
Protection Corps.

The KPC was supposedly set up to handle natural disasters. One might
logically appoint an engineer to run such a group. But if the purpose of
the organization is to carry out ethnically targeted military aggression,
one would employ an expert in ethnic terror, such as Mr. Ceku.

The Times' article says Ceku 'called up' the KPC 'reservists.'

Called them up for what purpose?

The KPC was organized (officially) to handle natural disasters. It is under
UN command. When 'reservists' are called up, they are paid out of UN funds.

Why would the UN permit the mobilization of 800 KPC 'reservists' when there
is no natural disaster ion Kosovo? Especially when everyone knows the KLA
is fighting in Macedonia and needs reinforcements?

                                                  ODD MAPS

Next, consider the matter of maps. Maps of Macedonia, that is. Military
maps, I presume.

The London 'Times' reports that:

      "Embarrassingly for the alliance, they [the KPC reservists] are
making use of maps issued by Nato for the Kosovo Protection
      Corps."

Isn't it charming how the 'Times' employs the term, "embarrassingly," as if
NATO had committed some breech of etiquette. Let's see. Would that be
"embarrassingly" as in you order the wrong wine to go with your date's
grilled shark? Or would that be "embarrassingly" as in you get nabbed
driving the getaway car at the St. Valentine's Day Massacre?

Since NATO issued them and the KLA is using them for an invasion, it is
reasonable to assume these are detailed maps, including roads, location of
various facilities and topographical features such as hills, etc.

Macedonia is a sovereign state. It is not under NATO or UN control. The
Kosovo Protection Corps has no valid reason to set foot on
Macedonian territory.

The KPC is supposedly not a military entity. It is under UN, not NATO
jurisdiction

Putting all this together, for what purpose would NATO provide the KPC with
military maps of Macedonia?

                                  SLIPPING OFF TO NORTHERN ALBANIA

The article states that after being 'called up,' the KPC 'reservists'
slipped off to training camps in Northern Albania.

One would assume that the UN, which is supposedly in charge of the KPC,
noticed this mass disappearance.

So let's see. 800 UN employees 'disappeared' to military camps to be
trained to attack Macedonia. One would assume this act was illegal. One
would assume the existence of the camps violates Albanian sovereignty. And
training UN employees to attack Macedonia definitely violates the UN/NATO
mandate for being in Kosovo, namely to protect the:

      "...sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia and the other States of the region..." (Security Council
      Resolution 1244)

Why wasn't NATO dispatched to destroy the camps and arrest the 800
criminals and their trainers?

NATO wouldn't have had any trouble finding the camps. All they had to do
was ask the NATO officers who according to reports are
continuing to train the KLA just as they did in the past:

      "The news report out of Krume, in northern Albania says this is why
negotiations for a long-term training deal are going on with the
      one- time U.S. military officers who operate reportedly with
semi-official Pentagon approval. The mercenary company is identified
      as Military and Professional Resources International. The article
also asserts a British special forces SAS unit is using two camps
      near Tirana, the Albanian capital, and another on the Kosovar border
to teach KLA officers how to conduct intelligence-gathering
      operations on Serbian positions. According to the Telegraph. The KLA
and SAS -- within Kosovo and from reconnaissance
      missions staged from Albania -- are using satellite and cellular
telephones to provide NATO with details on Serbian targets." ('UPI'
      April 18, 1999)

And:

      "Embarrassingly for Kfor, it emerged that two of the Kosovo-based
commanders leading the Albanian push were trained by
      former British SAS and Parachute Regiment officers in the days when
Nato was more comfortable with the fledgling Kosovo
      Liberation Army (KLA). [MY NOTE: If they got any more comfortable
they'd fall asleep.]

      A former member of a European special forces unit who accompanied the
KLA during the Kosovo conflict said that a commander
      with the nom de guerre of Bilal was organizing the flow of arms and
men into Macedonia, and that the veteran KLA commander
      Adem Bajrami was helping to co-ordinate the assault on Tetovo. Both
were taught by British soldiers in the secretive training
      camps that operated above Bajram Curri in northern Albania during
1998 and 1999." (My emphasis, 'Sunday Times' (London),
      March 18, 2001)

Did you notice? They used that word, "embarrassingly," again. Nothing as
embarrassing as supporting terrorists.

      "Western special forces were still training the guerrillas, as a
result of decisions taken before the change of government in
      Yugoslavia. " (BBC, 29 January 2001)

                                WHAT DO YOU THINK WE ARE? SOLDIERS?

The 'Times' reports that:

      "Intelligence agents have pinpointed 16 illegal border crossings from
Kosovo used by the NLA..."

Ain't that swell.

But: if intelligence agents can pinpoint them, why doesn't NATO close them?
Better yet, why doesn't NATO do its duty under Resolution 1244 and the
rules of war as they affect occupying armies and set up ambushes and arrest
these terrorists before they cross into Macedonia?

      "A military commander is responsible not only for criminal acts
committed in pursuance of his orders, but is 'also responsible if he
      has actual knowledge, or should have knowledge....that troops or
other persons subject to his control are about to commit or have
      committed a war crime and he fails to take the necessary and
reasonable steps to insure compliance with the law of war to punish
      violations thereof.'" ( From 'Nuremberg and Vietnam: An American
Tragedy,' by Telford Taylor, US Chief Counsel at Nuremberg,
      page 58, © The New York Times Company, 1970. Taylor is citing US Army
FM 27-10, 'The Law of Land Warfare,' (1956)
      page 178.)

The NATO leadership is scandalized by suggestions that it should engage in
any such authoritarian behavior.

Anyway, even if NATO did arrest a few terrorists, we know from past
experience they would just turn them lose.

And isn't the notion of NATO ambushing the KPC terrorists as they enter
Macedonia a bit absurd since NATO has been training the KLA for several
years; since the UN gave the KLA official KPC status, uniforms, pay, and an
experienced ethnic cleanser for a leader. And since NATO has even given
them military maps. To paraphrase Madeleine Albright, former Secretary of
State, "What's the point of having this great terrorist army if we don't
use them?"

                    LET'S NOT GET ALL UPSET BOYS, SOMEBODY COULD GET HURT

The London 'Times' reports that:

      "Macedonia's coalition government came close to declaring war after
five Macedonian soldiers died in an ambush last Tuesday, but
      President Boris Trajkovski has heeded European Union calls for calm."

You know, after the U.S. 'diplomat' and OSCE big wig Robert Frowick got
caught arranging strategy meetings between Macedonian Albanian leaders and
Kosovo secessionists including the terrorist leaders, Thaci and Haradinaj -
after that happened, a lot of people said European leaders were very upset
with the U.S., that the U.S. was way out of step and floundering in
confusion, and that this was heading towards a real split with the
Europeans, etc., etc.

First of all, if the U.S. is floundering, how come it always flounders in
the same direction? Some geniuses cite as evidence of "floundering" (or
sometimes "being trapped in a morass") that the U.S. says one thing
publicly and does another covertly. Like du-uh, that's called deception,
not floundering. They can't very well publicly admit to the American people
that they support terrorists, can they?

As for the imminent split between Washington and the Europeans, it has been
imminent for at least two years. What is the concrete manifestation of
European dissatisfaction? It is: that while the U.S. sends in the KLA to
terrorize Macedonia, and in particular to terrorize local Albanians into
joining the KLA, Europeans "call for calm."

Calm is wonderful but elusive when terrorists are machine-gunning your
citizens.

According to the pro-NATO "Jane's Defense Review," the KLA's strategy in
Kosovo involved:

      "The harassment and assassination of Serb officials and civilians
from Kosovo's Serb minority. This has included sniper attacks,
      Serbs dragged from their vehicles and beaten, together with pressure
on them to leave their homes. The killing of a Serb
      policeman, Milan Jovic in Podujevo, a mainly Albanian town 40km north
of Pristina, by men with automatic weapons on 21
      December was one such incident. This UCK tactic has the double
benefit of forcing Serbs to quit the province and provoking Serb
      police into retaliation and subsequent censure by OSCE observers."
(Jane's, 2/1/99)

One of the signers of the Petition to Free Slobodan Milosevic commented
that he was:

      "...sign[ing] the petition because Mr. Milosevic did just that what a
head of state is supposed to do."
      (http://emperors-clothes.com/petition/petition.htm , signer #195)

What is the head of state supposed to do when his or her country is
attacked by a terrorist army sponsored by a Great Power that wishes to
pulverize said country? The head of state is supposed to use security
forces to destroy the terrorist force. Just the way a good doctor is
supposed to use medical technology to destroy a deadly disease.

By issuing "calls for calm" the Europeans are playing a treacherous role.
They are being the "good cops." The bad cop, the U.S.A., commands its
vicious attack-dog, the KLA, to lunge for Macedonia's throat. The good
cops, the Europeans, tell Macedonia, "stay calm. Talk things over.
This dog could be dangerous. You don't want anybody to get hurt." They try
to prevent Macedonian resistance. With friends like that...

And what about President Boris Trajkovski, who is correctly described by
the 'Times' as heeding European calls for "calm?"

In this dance of subservience, President Trajkovski is always in step with
the Europeans.

To win, Macedonia needs to: 1) Replace President Boris Trajkovski; 2) Throw
out all the Western NGOs, human rights snakes, OSCE
'helpers' and U.S. military advisers, public and private; 3) Declare
martial law; 4) Jail leading traitors and saboteurs; 3) Urgently request
experienced military volunteers from the Slavic east, which is the ultimate
target of the NATO assault on the Balkans.

In other words, Macedonia must act as if it is being invaded and its very
existence is at stake, which is the case.

Now is not the time for attempts to negotiate supposed grievances. The KLA
is not 'rebelling' in response to injustice. It is invading on orders
from the U.S. covert apparatus.

The U.S. Empire is preparing for low-intensity war against the former
Soviet Union. To this end, it must consolidate control over a devastated
Balkans in which political forces that would resist foreign domination and
the U.S. "drive to the East" - especially forces among the Greek and
Slavic populations - are weakened or destroyed.

                              ALBANIAN TERRORISTS ARE A PUPPET FORCE

The movement for 'Greater Albania' is presented in the media as a powerful
independent force. It is not. Rather, Washington has taken
advantage of certain features of ethnic Albanian culture, attitudes and
recent history to use some Albanians as a proxy army and a destabilizing
force.

These features are: a highly authoritarian clan structure; a tradition of
violent, clan-based feuding; a strong current of anti-Slav racism; and an
unfortunate history of being used by Italian Fascists and German Nazis
during World War II. (1)

We discuss the ways in which Washington and its Kosovo Liberation Army used
these features of ethnic Albanian culture to 'turn' the Albanians
in "Why Albanians Fled Kosovo During NATO Bombing" and in shorter form in
"What's Behind KL:A Strategy In The Balkans?" (2 and 3,
below)

As those pieces explain, it is most difficult to defeat the U.S./KLA
strategy. But a posture of accommodation definitely does not help.

                             PARTING THOUGHT FROM THE 'LONDON' TIMES

The 'Times' comments:

      "There's plenty of money around and they've got good weapons," a Nato
planner said [of the KLA]. "But we're hoping they've got
      the sense not to start shooting down Macedonian helicopters."

NATO is hoping? Sure they are. "Just a-wishin' and a-hopin' and a dreamin'
and a-prayin'."
