Gentleness
is a virtue.
With
this in mind, note how the U.S. military dealt recently with some
terrorists, or as the media calls them, "ethnic Albanian
rebels," or "guerrillas."
The
terrorists were returning to Kosovo after being rudely received
by security forces in the country known as the Former Yugoslav
Republic of Macedonia, or FYRO Macedonia. They were in a hurry
to get home.
Jim
Marshal, spokesman for the U.S.-led contingent of the KFOR multinational
peacekeeping force, said the men appeared to be dumping
their uniforms and weapons before heading towards Kosovo.
"We
saw a lot of men in black uniforms crossing into Kosovo,
entering buildings, changing out of their uniforms, leaving
their weapons and coming here...in civilian clothes,"
Marshal told reporters in the Kosovo village of Debelde, where
US troops are monitoring the trouble.
''We
have seen machine guns and some RPGs (rocket-propelled grenades)
and light weapons," he said.
"Anyone
who crossed into Kosovo would be detained and searched,"
he said. "We will disarm them and detain them and investigate
each case individually. It is up to KFOR to decide about further
investigations,'" Marshal said.
"We
are talking with the civilians here in Debelde to convince the
armed men to hand over their weapons and finish this thing."
(Emphasis added, Reuters,
3-4-2001)
US
forces were following the terrorists closely enough to watch as
they disrobed and entered a town which US military spokesman Marshall
calls "here." That town was Debelde, coincidentally
the place where US forces (including, apparently, Mr. Marshall)
were stationed.
"We
saw [the terrorists] entering buildings, changing out of their
uniforms," said Mr. Marshall.
Isn't
this remarkable? The US military and the terrorists shared the
same home base; the US military knew exactly where the terrorists
were at all times; but the US military did not prevent the terrorists
from attacking FYRO Macedonia. Nor did it stop them from illegally
entering Kosovo, nor swoop down and arrest the terrorists as they
were "dumping their uniforms and weapons," nor immediately
turn them over to the FYRO Macedonian security forces whom they
had attacked with rocket-propelled grenades, etc.
The
BBC has reported:
"Western
special forces were still training the guerrillas [i.e., the
terrorists attacking Serbia and FYRO Macedonia] as a result
of decisions taken before the change of government in Yugoslavia
" (BBC,
29 January, 2001)
Could
Mr. Marshall have been engaging in double talk? Could this be
a case of Washington simultaneously sponsoring and lamenting "Greater
Albanian" terrorism?
Why
did the terrorists return "here," that is, to US headquarters?
Keep
in mind that these so-called "rebels" are none other
than the Kosovo Liberation Army, recycled. Ever since the KLA
was glued together by German and US intelligence from a mishmash
of drug traffickers, children of World War II Nazis and diehard
supporters of the late Albanian leader, Enver Hoxha, said KLA
has never won a battle against people with actual guns, e.g.,
the Yugoslav Army. The KLA's specialty is drive-by shootings and
cutting the throats of civilians, preferably elderly people or
children under five.
Now
a group of KLA'ers had invaded FYRO Macedonia and received an
unexpectedly harsh reception. That is, the local security forces
shot back at them. So they turned tail and fled to the US base
in Debelde to complain, shedding weapons and clothing as they
went.
Why
to Debelde? Doesn't it make sense that Debelde was a base for
those "Western special forces [who] were still training the
guerrillas"?
But
just as the US military was able to observe the terrorists shedding
their clothing as they raced back from FYRO Macedonia, so could
the FYRO Macedonia security forces who had routed the terrorists.
Everyone concerned was aware: the terrorists were fleeing to a
US base.
This
must have been embarrassing for the US military command. In an
effort to spin gold from misfortune, military spokesman Marshall
called a press conference. The US military would take action,
he declared. "Everyone who crossed into FYRO Macedonia would
be detained and searched."
At
first this sounds good, but on reflection it is not clear what
Mr. Marshall's men could hope to find since, according to him,
the terrorists had thrown away clothing and weapons as they rushed
back to Debelde. Were they going to search for tattoos? In a flash
of perhaps unintended humor, Mr. Marshall added that:
"We
will... investigate each case individually..."
"Individually"
has a nicely American ring, but again, what did Mr. Marshall expect
to discover? That some of the terrorists had perfectly good reasons
for attacking FYRO Macedonia with "machine guns and some
RPGs (rocket-propelled grenades) and light weapons" whereas
others were being quite naughty?
And
what would the US military do after it was done searching and
individually investigating? Mr. Marshall left that question open.
"It will be up to KFOR to decide about further investigations,''
he said.
Aside
from the fact that Washington controls KFOR, the US does not proceed
with such restraint and deliberation when it comes to the Serbs.
Consider the following from Mr. Shawn Sullivan.
Mr.
Sullivan is described in the press as the "political adviser
to the KFOR commander", Italian General Carlo Cabigiosu.
This makes him the New World Order's equivalent of a Commissar.
Based on this lofty position and a look at his activities, it
would appear Mr. Sullivan is one of the key people exercising
Washington's control over KFOR. He may be CIA, but that is beside
the point.
Asked
what might happen if a Serbian shell were to accidentally land
in a KFOR base near southern Serbia, Mr. Sullivan replied, without
awaiting a full investigation, "It would be the worst thing
the [Yugoslav] government could experience."
Asked
if Kfor would retaliate, he replied: "I would think so.
I don't think we would accept an "Oops, we're sorry."
(Daily
Telegraph, 28 February 2001)
But
when it comes to KLA terrorists observed throwing away rocket-propelled
grenades after non-accidentally trying to murder policemen, uncooperative
ethnic Albanians and others in FYRO Macedonia, the US military
is humbled by a Great Ambiguity Before The Law.
Meanwhile,
Back on Planet Earth
Actually
there is nothing ambiguous about the law concerning KLA terrorists.
Even UN resolution 1244, which is NATO's justification for being
in Kosovo, affirms:
...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 and
annex 2.
The
terrorists are attacking Yugoslavia and FYRO Macedonia, i.e.,
"the States of the region." The US military is required
to seize them and turn them over to the legal authorities in those
countries. Period.
In
a dispatch that almost surely referred to the United States and
Britain, the BBC reported that :
...certain
Nato-led K-For forces were not preventing the guerrillas taking
mortars and other weapons into the exclusion zone.
The
guerrilla units had been able to hold exercises there, including
live-firing of weapons, despite the fact that K-For patrols
the zone. (BBC,
Jan 29, 2001)
UN
Resolution 1244 has many faults. One fault is that it was forced
on Yugoslavia through the worst possible violation of international
law – the 78 day bombing of Yugoslavia. Moreover, Resolution
1244 states that the Yugoslav government has suppressed the rights
of ethnic Albanians, which is simply a lie invented to justify
NATO's crimes including sponsoring terrorism and bombing a sovereign
nation.
However
even Resolution
1244:
15.
Demands that the KLA and other armed Kosovo Albanian
groups end immediately all offensive actions and comply with
the requirements for demilitarization as laid down by the head
of the international security presence in consultation with
the Special Representative of the Secretary-General;
Yet
the KLA, trained by "Western special forces," has been
attacking southern Serbia for more than a year and is now attacking
FYRO Macedonia.
I
submit that the United States and Britain are using KLA terrorists
as a wedge to help undermine the sovereignty of Yugoslavia and
FYRO Macedonia. This is a direct violation of the Helsinki
Final Act, a cornerstone of international law, which commits
its signers, including the United States and Britain:
To
refrain from any use of armed forces inconsistent with the
purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations
and the provisions of the Declaration on Principles Guiding
Relations between Participating States, against another participating
State, in particular from invasion of or attack on its territory.
To
refrain from any manifestation of force for the purpose of
inducing another participating State to renounce the full
exercise of its sovereign rights."
While
it sponsors terrorist attacks on sovereign nations, the United
States government and its various covert and overt conduits (of
money) simultaneously
organize and fund "civil society" groups in targeted
nations around the world. The "civil society" groups
preach that targeted nations must learn to respect the rule of
law.
In
other words: we can and will violate any law or agreement
any time we wish and we will accuse you whom we wish to
destroy of doing the violating and THAT is the New World Order.
And
that is how the game is played, my friends. People of the world:
take notice.
