Wesley Clark on a celebrity cruise? Gimme a break!

NO Wesley Clark!

Recently, we received a brochure from the USNA travel featuring “Along the Adriatic Sea” – which stated, “This cruise features “special guest” General Wesley Clark, NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander Europe (1997-2000).

Instead of being a “special guest”on this cruise, Clark, in my opinion, should be a “special guest” at The Hague for being a war criminal, and if I had an email address for the USNA travel, I would certainly pass this info on to whoever is responsible for this.

Remember The Kosovo Cover Up, where Clark lied about the damage NATO did to Serbian forces? “The damage report has been buried by top military officers and Pentagon officials, who in interviews with NEWSWEEK over the last three weeks were still glossing over or denying its significance. Why the evasions and dissembling, with the disturbing echoes of the inflated “body counts” of the Vietnam War? All during the Balkan war, Gen. Wesley Clark, the top NATO commander, was under pressure from Washington to produce positive bombing results from politicians who were desperate not to commit ground troops to combat. The Air Force protested that tanks are hard to hit from 15,000 feet, but Clark insisted. Now that the war is long over, neither the generals nor their civilian masters are eager to delve into what really happened. Asked how many Serb tanks and other vehicles were destroyed in Kosovo, General Clark will only answer, “Enough.”

Feast your eyes further on:

If this doesn’t prove that General Wesley Clark belongs in The Hague, rather than on a cruise, then I don’t know what does!!

As for myself, I do not apologize for exposing this charlatan. And for this general to be featured as a “special guest” on “Anchors Away Alumni Travel” is pretty sad indeed.

The Marty Report: Organ Harvesting in the Balkans

It really depresses and infuriates me that I have to write this post (special tanks for the help 1389). I am sickened by the thought of all of this. Tonight at about 1030pm eastern or so there is going to be a press conference on webcast from the Council of Europe in Brussels dealing with the harvesting of organs from abducted Serbians in Kosovo, the debate is occurring as we speak. This was first reported many years ago by the Serbian press, no one paid any attention to it. hen in 2008  Chief Hague Prosecutor Carla Del Ponte publicly made statements about the organ harvesting and even wrote a book about it, ‘Hunt: Me and War Criminals’ (which was banned from publishing for some time). Where she states that in the summer of 1999 300 young Serbs were abducted in Kosovo. They were transported to Albania for execution and then their organs were sold on the global black market. Hashim Thaci, the former leader of the Kosovo Liberation Army, the current Prime Minister of Kosovo, who earned the nickname of “The Snake” for his cruelty, is said to have taken personal control of the operation and receive millions of dollars from the sale of the organs of the murdered Serbs.

Tonight the EU investigator, Dick Marty,  will have his press conference where he will provide details to back up this ascertation “Finally, we arrived at the conclusion that these events were known to many intelligence services from many countries. This was known to the police, to a large number of people, who would privately say, ‘yes, I am aware of that’, but who, for the sake of political opportunism, would decide to remain silent. Another revelation is that they include the territory of Albania. In that absolutely chaotic period in 1999 and 2000, that is, after the end of (NATO) bombardment and establishment of UNMIK, the KLA exercised power in the entire territory (of Kosovo), and that is when the crimes were committed. People were kidnapped, deported to Albania. You are aware that EULEX has opened an investigation related to secret prisons, Kukesh in northern Albania is mentioned there. What has shocked me is that most facts in this report were known to a large number of organizations, and yet that there was silence about it until this day. I believe that a future of a country cannot be built without truth, without insisting on truth and memory. There will never be peace between various communities if the principle of ‘not wanting to know’ continues,””  He has also been very critical of the Serb war crimes and details all of the atrocities in the Balkans, he favors no one. His report, which was just admitted to the EU is linked here.

Summary: According to the information gathered, numerous concrete and convergent indications confirm that some Serbians and some Albanian Kosovars were held prisoner in secret places of detention under KLA control in northern Albania and were subjected to inhuman and degrading treatment, before ultimately disappearing. Numerous indications seem to confirm that, during the period immediately after the end of the armed conflict, before international forces had been able to take control of the region and re-establish law and order, organs were removed from some prisoners at a clinic on Albanian territory, near Fushë-Krujë, to be taken abroad for transplantation. Although some concrete evidence of such trafficking already existed at the beginning of the decade, the international authorities in charge of the region did not consider it necessary to conduct a detailed examination of these circumstances, or did so incompletely and superficially.

The international organisations in place in Kosovo favoured a pragmatic political approach, taking the view that they needed to promote short-term stability at any price, thereby sacrificing some important principles of justice. Insufficient investigation has been carried out into the connection of KLA members with war crimes committed against Serbians and Albanian Kosovars. The team of international prosecutors and investigators within EULEX which is responsible for investigating allegations of inhuman treatment, including those relating to possible organ trafficking, has made progress, particularly in respect of proving the existence of secret KLA places of detention in northern Albania where inhuman treatment and even murders are said to have been committed.

We must fight uncompromisingly against impunity for the perpetrators of serious human rights violations. The fact that these were committed in the context of a violent conflict could never justify a decision to refrain from prosecuting anyone who has committed such acts. There cannot and must not be one justice for the winners and another for the losers.

The member states of the European Union and the other contributing states should set EULEX a clear objective and give it the necessary political support to combat organised crime uncompromisingly, to ensure that justice is done, without any considerations of political expediency; Albania and the Kosovo administration should co-operate unreservedly with ongoing and future investigations.

Well, it gets worse. There are plenty of links below to the following facts: These organs went to America, Europe, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and I am sure elsewhere.  Closer to home, remember the Orthodox Rabbis and political leaders that were convicted of Organ trafficking in the US some years ago? They received some of these organs, and illegal organs from elsewhere, so much for being holy men *spit*, i hope you all rot in prison. One of the lead doctors in Albania is a Brazilian, nice work Catholic man, how can you call yourself a doctor? Also people from all over the world traveled to Eastern Europe with their surgeons to get these organs. I expect this kind of behavior from muslims, but not from Judeo-Christian Westerners.

The irritating facet of all of this is the silence…no one wants to discuss it in the press, nor do they want to admit that this inhumanity can be laid at the feet of the West. The cowards in Europe did nothing in the Balkans, then the US went in  under Clinton and Bush and propped up the criminal enterprise that is Kosovo. Our entire endeavor there is disgraceful at the least, immoral all around, and sinful at the worst. This report shows that both Clinton and Bush and the boots on the ground knew about this and did nothing. In the end, all will have to answer to God for this becasue we are probably going to be too cowardly to take action on this.

We, in the West, are guilty of supporting islamic war criminals at the cost of Christian lives for political expediency. We are guilty of remaining quiet. Not one group is innocent here, Christians, Jews, muslims, Atheists, everyone is guilty. I wonder if the world would have treated this differently if it weren’t Orthodox Serbs getting their kidneys ripped out so that the KLA and our boy Prime Minister Hashim Thaci could make some cash? This disgusts me. Way to go Clinton, Holbrooke,  and Bush, I am not a proud American today.

Here is a big ball of links for background and to document what I have written, peruse through them.

The Rape of Serbian Women

Jihad Watch: The Rape of Serbian Women

by Stella L. Jatras
(Letter to Phyllis Chesler of Chesler Chronicles)

Dear Phyllis,

I apologize for the length of my letter, but there is so much to be covered on this subject in order to do it justice.

In your commentary of 28 July entitled, “Is Marital Rape a Crime in America or Is It a Muslim Religious Right?,” Chesler Chronicles, you wrote: “In this regard, rape was declared a crime against humanity by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. [ICTY] I was tentatively supposed to testify about Rape Trauma Syndrome in the case in The Hague, but there was no funding to either protect or relocate the women who were prepared to testify, and thus, these trials were canceled.”

My concern is the distorted application of the rape declaration by the ICTY. Anything from the ICTY, a bought and paid for tool of the western powers, can only be seen in light of the objectives of those powers, especially Washington. A major objective — which was achieved — was to make the Muslims the victims in Bosnia and Serbs the villains. Paradoxically, that contrived victimization is itself a weapon in depicting any concerns about Islam here — including victimization of women, not as helping protect human rights, but as a propaganda tool to justify discrimination, racism, etc.

In that context, the accusations of mass rape – and specifically of “Serb rape camps,” which were never shown to have existed anywhere — was part of a calculated campaign of depicting Muslims-white-hats and Serbs-black-hats. I draw your attention to a letter written by Herb Brin of Heritage Southwest Jewish Press to President Clinton on 14 April 1994: “When I visited the Serbian front a year ago, I learned to my dismay that the rape story was a total concoction. In wars, rapes occur–but in the hundreds of thousands and as a means of so-called ‘ethnic cleansing?’ This was incredible and false.” Certainly rapes are committed in wartime, even worse in communal wars. There is no evidence that Bosnia was any worse (or better) than anywhere else where comparable conflicts have taken place. Tragically, the crime of the actual rapes that occurred was compounded by the use of false accusations of rape as a propaganda weapon, which is what the west and the Muslims did. Such false accusations both paste a damning accusation on the party not guilty of the wrongdoing, while devaluing the horror of actual rapes committed.

The fact that the ICTY declares rape a crime against humanity — a fact obvious to any normal person, ICTY or no ICTY — should not be given much weight, given the source. In fact, it serves to devalue the problem of rape during wartime because the ICTY shamefully used what should have been a principled legal finding as a blatant political propaganda weapon.

There is no question that even one rape is unspeakable, but with all due respect, I would like to present the other side of the story regarding the rapes that occurred in Bosnia, specifically the rape of Serbian women which were deemed to be insignificant by the media and by The Hague…

Unnoticed by the media was the submission on December 18, 1992, of the length report #S24491 by the UN Security Council to the General Assembly. The report included depositions by Serb rape victims.[emphasis mine]

Read it all at Jihad Watch!

What has been done about this?

Absolutely nothing whatsoever.

Some years ago, when it proved impossible to substantiate any of the rape-camp allegations against the Serbs, those stories simply vanished from the newspapers, magazines, and television screens, with no apologies and no retractions. The upshot is that the Serbs, including these Serb rape victims, are off the world’s radar screen. Susan Sontag, Christiane Amanpour, and many other journalistic and political whores built (or revived) their careers on Serb-bashing during the 1990s and early 2000s. Not a single one of them was ever called to account for the damage done by the lies they told. Thus far, none of these journalists have been a big enough person to sacrifice his or her career by repenting of those lies, telling the truth, and demanding justice for victimized Serbs.

It’s all too common for people who don’t have all the facts about an accusation to insist that “When there’s smoke, there’s fire.” Bzzzzt, wrong! Even smoke can be fake, as any special-effects artist can tell you.

Another mistake is to split the difference by assuming that the truth must be somewhere in the middle; for example, by claiming that all sides in a war have committed atrocities. Here again, that is not necessarily so, and so long as there is no proof that one side committed atrocities, then it behooves you to assume that they did not.

It is time to form (or reinforce) the habit of automatically doubting the nonsense spewed by government officials, journalists, or anybody else who has widespread access to the media. False accusations are everywhere, and so are people who serve as vectors for false accusations by uncritically repeating them. Just about every evildoer tries to evade punishment by pinning his or her own misdeeds on someone else. More ambitious evildoers can fabricate wrongdoing on the part of their opponents, and then use the media to manipulate others to do their fighting for them. In the case of the war against the Serbs, the jihadis and their allies fooled America and Europe into taking the wrong side in that conflict and fighting most of their battles for them. The same Muslim enemies who were active against the Serbs in the Balkans are now using the same tactics against Israel and the US.

Don’t fall for it!


First, the Serbs; now, the Jews?

A War of Images

By Stella Jatras
August 22, 2006 / 28 Menachem-Av, 5766
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com

Will the same weapon that defeated the Serbs also defeat Israel?

They say that truth is always the first victim in war. Such is the case in the Israeli/Hezbollah war.

It appears that Hezbollah has taken a page out of the Bosnian Muslim playbook: Win the PR battle, and you win the war. What better example of media disinformation than the Bosnian War, where images of civilians “slaughtered” at Sarajevo’s Markale market place, allegedly by Serb forces, were so instrumental? If it worked for the Bosnian Muslims, why not for Hezbollah? Will Qana, Lebanon, become Israel’s Markale market place?

Yossef Bodansky, author of Bin Laden: The Man Who Declared War on America, wrote the following in his 1995 book Offensive in the Balkans:

Phase Three started with the self-inflicted major terrorist provocation. On Friday 5, 1994, a major explosion rocked the Markale — Sarajevo’s main market place — causing heavy casualties. What was immediately described as the ubiquitous ‘Serb mortar shell’ was actually a special charge designed and built with help from HizbAllah experts and then most likely dropped from a nearby rooftop onto the crowd of shoppers. Video cameras at the ready recorded this expertly-staged spectacle of gore, while dozens of corpses of Bosnian Muslim troops killed in action (exchanged the day before in a ‘body swap’ with the Serbs) were paraded in front of cameras to raise the casualty counts.

This callous self-killing was designed to shock the West especially sentimental and gullible Washington, in order to raise the level of Western sympathy to the Bosnian Muslims and further demonize the Serbs so that Western governments would be more supportive of Sarajevo’s forthcoming aggressive moves, and perhaps even finally intervene militarily.” (Emphasis added)

Some headlines that Americans never saw were “Muslims ‘slaughter their own people’,” The [London] Independent, 22 Aug. 1992, and “Serbs ‘not guilty’ of massacre,” The Sunday [London] Times, 1 Oct. 1995.

In 1992, Peter Maher, Professor Emeritus of Linquistics, visited Dubrovnik, Croatia, to see for himself the truth about the war. He wrote, “A few months earlier, the press was filled with stories that the Pearl of the Adriatic had been reduced to rubble. The stories were fakes.” Professor Maher goes on to explain just how it happened: “The dramatic ‘Dubrovnik burning’ pictures were shot with long lenses. . . .But the smoke was from the fuel tanks of two pleasure boats burning in the Old Harbor … Dubrovnik’s Old City never burned and was never even targteted by the federal forces…..The only building in the Old City of Ragusa to be gutted by explosives and fire was the library and treasure of the Serbian Orthodox church, which housed a priceless collection of medieval manuscripts and icons. It was not navy guns that did the damage, but plastic and incendiary devices planted on the spot by Croatian forces.”

Who can forget the horrific pictures that were repeatedly shown on CNN of the two dead Muslim babies on a bus in Bosnia, allegedly killed by a Serb sniper? I would never have known the truth if I had not been watching France 2 TV, which showed the funeral of these innocent babies. Officiating was a Serbian Orthodox priest. These were not Muslim babies; they were Serbian babies, but for American consumption, the Serbian Orthodox priest was cropped from the film so that the American people would continue to believe that the babies were Muslim. This kind of reporting is not just yellow journalism. It goes beyond the pale, the same kind of “journalism” that Israel is experiencing today — manipulation, distortion, staging, forgery and the doctoring of photos by anti-Israeli media. Welcome to the club!

Hopefully, in the current Israeli/Hezbollah conflict, the media distortions will not sell. At the beginning of the Balkan conflict we did not have the Internet and bloggers to expose CNN and its ilk. Today is different. Almost immediately after photos of damage from an Israeli air strike on Beirut were posted, outrage from bloggers who recognized that the photos were doctored forced Reuters to admit that two or more photos were altered. The company stated, “A Reuters photograph of smoke rising from buildings in Beirut has been withdrawn after coming under attack by American web blogs. The blogs accused Reuters of distorting the photograph to include more smoke and damage.” Was this simply one person’s mistake, or is a pattern being exposed in the present Israeli/Hezbollah war of the biased or even co-belligerent media that was at work in the war against the Serbs?…

Read it all!

I knew what would happen!

Back in 1999, when Clinton was bombing the Christian Serbs on behalf of the jihadis in the Balkans, I warned people of what was to come. I delivered my warning both in person and on the Internet, on the huge mailing list that I ran back in those days, before the blogosphere existed. I told everyone who would listen that the Serbs were being bombed now, and that Israel would be next.

Practically no one believed me.

I never claimed to know how those bombs would be delivered, nor by whom. I had no way of knowing that the bombs would not be delivered by airplane, but rather by suicide vest and IED. Nonetheless, I knew that Israel and the Jews would become the next target. Given what I knew of the proclivities of the jihadis and their leftist collaborators, I could figure out that harm was about to come to the innocent in Israel, and that the Jewish people would be next to suffer.

And so it was.

Oh, and by the way, I have personally spoken with Professor John Peter Maher many times, and he did indeed recount the same eyewitness evidence to me about the fabrication of the supposed destruction of Dubrovnik.

Then it was CNN; now it is Pallywood

The deliberate staging of fake crimes to draw the sympathy – and the economic and military intervention – of the US and other western nations, on behalf of thoroughly undeserving Muslim powers and factions, has burgeoned into an industry.

See According to Palestinian Sources on The Second Draft for some video examples:

The MSM use Palestinian sources constantly, and even when they mention the provenance of the information, they rarely explore its reliability. In a series of studies, we explore the culture of Palestinian journalism (Pallywood), its greatest product (Al Durah), its impact on the world via MSM validation (Icon of Hatred), and the Gaza Beach Tragedy that took place six years later. Further studies to come.

View them all.
