America's Quest to Rule
the World
The Truth About Serbia and the American Government
Rulers of
the World
Before you click away from this website because you might not be Serbian or you might be disinterested, I assure you, the information contained within this website goes way beyond the plight of a small country in eastern Europe. The links on this website contain real evidence about the aims and ambitions of the United States government to rule the world for the purposes of creating great wealth for themselves. The purpose of this site is to only present evidence and real quotes from the actors on the world stage as it relates to American imperialism. This site attempts to stay away from rhetoric, arguments and conspiracy theories to the extent possible. We cannot control the content of links that might contain evidence as well as conclusions. All this site is designed to do is to help cut through the massive amount of noise in this world by pointing you to areas where evidence exists.
Think of it as a "portal of truth". We do not manufacture any of this content. We try to find it and post it in one easy to access location. We also ask for your help in locating additional evidence by forwarding links to us for review and posting.
If you are a Serb, or a part of any other ethnic group in the Balkans, the thorough review of all the links on this website should be mandatory reading to gain a truthful understanding of what has happened to the Balkans in recent history and why. If you are American, the review of this material should also be mandatory so you can form your own untainted opinion of the direction that your government is taking you in. If you are neither from the Balkans or from the United States of America, then this material should at the very least stimulate your thought process. Hopefully you will draw your own conclusions about potential implications for you. You might want to bookmark this website as it might take some time to review all of the material below. You can check back
periodically for newly posted material. We would also encourage you to forward this website as widely as you can. The truth is our only weapon.
We are continuously looking
to add factual material to this site. Please help us if
you can. Forward links for our review. If we
determine that the link contains valuable facts that are also
verifiable, or presents evidence disputing public statements, then we will post the link on this site.
To maintain credibility, his site stays away from posting editorials, opinions, rhetoric and arguments that are not immediately backed by facts.
Please forward all links to:
Our goal is to forward this
website to as many people as possible. Today's media in
the U.S. is largely controlled by five individuals, all of whom
have agendas that remain hidden from the public. Their
"shaping" of public opinion and selective reporting make it
extremely difficult for the public to know what the truth is.
Even the slowest American knows that CNN is pro-Democrat and
that Fox News is pro-Republican. That in itself proves that
major media news organizations do not report the news, but shape
it instead. Our near term goal is to have as many
Serbians review the material on
this website before the
May 11th elections in
Serbia so that they have as
much information on which to base their votes. Please
forward this site to your
Serbian family and friends and ask them to forward it along as
well.
Most observers and many
participants of the break up of Yugoslavia are focused on
actions and events within the borders of what was Yugoslavia.
To use a cliché, doing so would not allow you to see the forest
for the trees. Focusing inside Yugoslavia is akin to focusing
on a symptom instead of the root cause. For the root cause of
the orchestrated break up of Yugoslavia, take a big picture view
of the imperialistic ambitions of the U.S. government and the
interests of the corporations who helped put those leaders in
power over the years. Review the material on the links below
and you will slowly begin to realize that Yugoslavia is an
innocent victim of America’s global ambitions. No actions
undertaken by Yugoslavia could have prevented what has happened
there over the last 20 years.
Finding and circulating the
truth is a prerequisite for justice and the first step in
battling those forces that participated in the break up of
Yugoslavia.
Willy Wimmer was the Vice-President of the Parliamentary Assembly of the OSCE and member of the German Bundestag (National Parliament) for the conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) of former Chancellor Helmut Kohl. On May 2, 2000, Willy Wimmer wrote a letter in the form of a report to the then German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder. The report was on a U.S. State Department/American Enterprise Institute-sponsored conference in Bratislava, Slovakia. The conference was held on April 28-30, 2000, approximately one year after the United States and NATO countries bombed Serbia for 78 straight days. The theme of the conference was “Is Euro-Atlantic Integration Still on Track? Opportunities and Obstacles”.
The links below should be
mandatory reading for all Serbs, Americans, Russians and other ethnic groups in the Balkans. The report provides a glimpse into the motivations of the U.S. government and how the Serbia is being used to further those motivations.
For Serbian who can vote on
May 11th, 2008, one summary point n the following letter should
be noted with great interest. The attendees at this
conference have agreed that: "Serbia
(probably for the purposes of securing an unhindered US military
presence) must be
permanently excluded from
European development".
Think about the previous statement before choosing political
leaders who would lead you down the path of EU integration.

When speaking publicly, political leaders often times slip up in what they say (human nature being what it is). These slip-ups, or even intentional statements give us a glimpse into what might really be happening. If you viewed the
Zeitgeist movie
below, you would have seen George W. Bush gaffe when referring to Osama bin Laden as Saddam Hussein. He quickly caught and corrected himself. Vice President Dick Chaney made a similar gaffe when he told Tony Snow during a radio interview “So we've never made the case, or argued the case that somehow Osama bin Laden was directly involved in 9/11. That evidence has never been forthcoming.” It wasn’t until the end of the interview that Tony asks the Vice President to confirm that he meant Saddam Hussein and not Osama bin Laden.
The following article contains a number of quotes from political figures regarding the war on Serbia in 1999. Not only is the article an excellent source of these quotes, but it is an excellent investigation into the legality of the war against Serbia by an MSc in International Public Policy at the University College London.
Tony Blair, then Prime Minister of the United Kingdom on the eve of the war against Serbia said “To walk away now would …destroy NATO’s credibility”
Michael Ledeen, a scholar close to the Bush administration reportedly said “Every ten years or so, the United States needs to pick up some small crappy little country and throw it against the wall, just to show the world we mean business."
Other notable quotes from Michael Ledeen are:
"the level of casualties (in Iraq) is secondary"
"we are a warlike people (Americans)...we love war"
"Change — above all violent change — is the essence of human history"
"the only way to achieve peace is through total war"
"The purpose of total war is to permanently force your will onto another people"
"Every ten years or so, the United States needs to pick up some small crappy little country and throw it against the wall, just to show the world we mean business"
Michael Ledeen reveals his political views such as describing the fascist state as "a generator of energy and creativity" in his published book Universal Fascism: The Theory and Practice of the Fascist International, 1928-1936.

During the 1999 bombing of Serbia, John Norris had been director of communications for Strobe Talbott, a Deputy US Secretary of State closely involved in the bombing campaign, was a Clinton official and is the Washington Chief of Staff for the International Crisis Group. John Norris said “it was Yugoslavia’s resistance to the broader trends of political and economic reform –
not the plight of the Kosovar Albanians
– that best explains NATO’s war”
Kathryn Albrecht is a UCLA educated independent political researcher and analyst. She is also the administrator at The Taos Public Library in New Mexico. On her site she has a five part report titled “Whatever Happened to Yugoslavia?” It is quite detailed and might take a while to read, but is it one of the most historically accurate accounts of what really happened during the
break up of Yugoslavia that we have come across. Her report is supported by evidence and quotes.
Available on her site is also an examination of the state of nuclear disarmament as well as an article on civilian casualties of America's air war over Afghanistan.
After World War II, Yugoslavia was one of the most successful socialist states in Eastern Europe, both economically and in terms of ethnic diversity. For more than 45 years, all ethnic groups that made up Yugoslavia lived in peace and relative prosperity. As evidenced in Kathryn’s work, Yugoslavia did not break up because of ethnic conflict. The
break up was as a result of imperialistic plans and geopolitical pursuits of western governments, particularly the U.S. government. The Serbian people and Slobodan Milosevic have been vilified throughout the entire process. Read Kathryn’s work and decide for yourself.
Kathryn’s work on the break
up of Yugoslavia should be mandatory reading for all Serbs and other ethnic groups that made up the former Yugoslavia. It should also be read by Americans and other interested parties as it paints a vivid picture of how the first casualty of war is the truth. For all readers, it will provide very good insight into the operations of the U.S. government.
We believe Kathryn’s work (or diligently researched work like hers) will form the base on which history will record the events surrounding the
break up of Yugoslavia.
Her website is a tad cumbersome as you must click on each of five parts separately to read them all. We have placed her report from all five parts into a single document. Click below to read her work on the
break up of Yugoslavia without having to click through to get to each section:
http://www.rulersoftheworld.com/WhateverHappenedtoYugoslavia.pdf
If you
read Kathryn Albrecht's work from the section above, you will
have come across the beginnings of the U.S. government's aim to
break up and control Yugoslavia for their own profits. She
states about then President Ronald Reagan: Reagan issued National Security Decision Directive 54, a "Secret
Sensitive" document. The Directive advocated "expanded efforts
to promote 'a quiet revolution' to overthrow Communist
governments while reintegrating the countries of Eastern Europe
into a market-oriented economy." In 1984, the Reagan
administration directly targeted Yugoslavia with NSDD 133,
"United States Policy toward Yugoslavia", calling for increased
intervention. With Tito gone, the U.S. moved to reorganize this
sovereign nation. A successful socialist state outside the
Western bloc would not be tolerated.
The International Monetary Fund became the chief weapon used to
destroy Balkan unity.
Increased ethnic friction, then, can be seen as only a secondary
cause of the dismemberment of Yugoslavia. As British economist
and political analyst Sean Gervasi
has stated, "Foreign intervention was designed to create
precisely the conflicts which the
Western powers decried."
IMF austerity measures were imposed in autumn 1989. The currency
was further
devalued, wages frozen, and state industries deemed
"unprofitable under structural
adjustment" (worker-owned companies) were closed. Unemployment
immediately rose
20%. The federal government in Belgrade regularly transferred
treasury payments to the
republics and autonomous regions. Those payments were now
stopped, the funds
mandated by the IMF to service foreign debt. As the Berlin Wall
was falling, wages in
Yugoslavia fell 41%.
Below are links to partially declassified files from Ronald
Reagan. National Security Decision Directive 54 is
the U.S. Policy Toward Eastern
Europe:

On November 5, 1990, a year
before the civil wars in Yugoslavia have started, the US
Congress passed the 1991
Foreign Operations Appropriation Law
101-513. This bill, without a previous warning, cut
all aid, trade, credits and loans to Yugoslavia and then pushed
the World Bank and International Monetary Fond to do the same.
The bill derecognized the country of Yugoslavia and announced
that the U.S. will deal with the constituent republics instead.
This bill
was a signed death warrant. One provision in particular was so
lethal that even a CIA report described three weeks later in the
Nov. 27, 1990, New York Times predicted it would lead to a
bloody civil war.
UNMIK is the United Nation’s Mission in Kosovo. In 2004, they
released the press release below to quell all of the media
reports of mass graves in Kosovo. Unfortunately, this press
release was not on the front page of newspapers worldwide half a
decade after the bombing of Serbia:
"Castigating the press for 'journalistic crimes' committed
during its reporting on the Balkans wars of the 1990s, retired
New York Times reporter David Binder claims the 1993 Pulitzer
Prize for International Reporting awarded to both the Times and
New York's Newsday 'should, in all fairness and honesty, be
revoked.' Binder was speaking at a press conference for the
release of a new book criticizing the war reporting. Binder
wrote the foreword to the book by Peter Brock, titled 'Media
Cleansing: Dirty Reporting, Journalism and Tragedy in
Yugoslavia.' 'What we're looking at here is a series catalogued
by Peter Brock of journalistic crimes,'
said Binder..... During his recent appearance at the National
Press Club in Washington, D.C., Binder said
it would take 'at least a decade' before historians 'clear out
that wretched underbrush of lies and concoctions' from
'despicable' politicians 'like Richard Holbrooke,'
an international negotiator during the administration of former
President Bill Clinton and 'certainly the journalists'
criticized in Brock's book. The rise of blogs and media watchdog
groups offers a 'corrective' for the public now, Binder
contended."
Peter Brock’s book is a must read. Interesting facts are
presented such as the torturing of Borislav Herak to provide a
false confession to disgraced New York Times “journalist” John
F. Burns. That confession was used to convict Sretko Damjanovic
for the killing of two Muslim brothers who were later found
alive. Both Herak and Damjanovic were sentenced to death by
firing squad.
Albanian secessionists in Kosovo, the Croatian
secessionists and the Bosnian Muslims hired an
American public
relations firm,
Ruder Finn, to advance their
causes by demonizing the Serbs.
Ruder Finn deliberately
targeted certain publics, notably the American Jewish community,
with a campaign likening Serbs to Nazis. Feminists were also
clearly targeted by the Croatian nationalist campaign directed
out of Zagreb to brand Serbs as rapists.
Rev. Dr. Robert M. Bowman, retired Lieutenant Colonel, United States Air Force,
painstakingly assembled a chronology of Serbia and Serbians in
an effort to educate the American people regarding the truth
about Serbia and the truth about the U.S. government. It is an
excellent piece of research with cited sources backing his
research. His motivations are summarized at the end of the
chronology. I have reprinted them here to entice more curious
Americans to educate themselves on the workings of their
government. His conclusions have striking similarities to the
Zeitgeist movie (link is
below). Dr.
Bowman’s closing comments are:
“It has not been easy pulling together this chronology of
events. It is no wonder
so many Americans have been confused. They have been misled.
Somehow, we the American people must regain control of the
corporate-owned media
and the
corporate-owned government
of this country [U.S.A.]. Otherwise, there will be more
Vietnams, more Grenadas, more Iraqs, more Bosnias, more Kosovos
... until the
billionaires and their multinational corporations and banks
control everything
— all the land, the governments, the resources, the money, and
the people. All of us in every land will be reduced to cheap
labor and consumers of each others products. None of us will own
anything. We will have no rights. We will be expendable, like
the people in Iraq and the Balkans.
The people of the United States must realize that
if we allow our government to do these things to the people of
foreign lands, one day it will do them to us.
If we cannot muster the courage and moral fiber to say "NO" to
the corporate wars against people in other lands because we have
love and compassion for them, then let us at least say it out of
enlightened self-interest. But say it we must. NO more El
Salvadors ... NO more Nicaraguas ... NO more Vietnams ... NO
more Iraqs ...
NO more Kosovos ... NO!!”
During the war against
Yugoslavia in 1999, all NATO politicians engaged in a campaign
of propaganda to justify the illegal war and to shape public
opinion within their respective countries. In Germany, the
Social Democratic (SPD)-Green party coalition government
employed fabrications and manipulated facts to overcome popular
opposition to the participation of the German armed forces in
NATO's war against Yugoslavia. On February 8, 2001, a German TV
report by journalists Jo Angerer and Mathias Werth entitled “It
Began With a Lie” was first broadcast on the nationwide ARD
public channel. The report set off large-scale public
discussions in Germany as it provided proof of the propaganda
and shaping of public opinion with lies regarding the illegal
bombing campaign. Below is a report on the events surrounding
the aforementioned TV report:
Many
of you have no doubt seen an email circulating about George W.
Bush's accomplishments. If not, we've listed them below:
Was arrested in
Kennebunkport, Maine, in 1976 for driving under the

In 1998, former President
George Bush Sr. wrote a book called “A World Transformed”.
Chapter 19 talks about the 1991 Gulf War to liberate Iraq known
as Desert Storm. George Bush Sr. details why it would have been
foolish to extend the ground war into an occupation of Iraq.
His predictions were very accurate given that his son played out
that exact scenario. Below is the excerpt from the book:
The
Project for the Old American Century is a spoof name by an
organization created to present and distribute under-reported
news items focusing on U.S. corporate and government corruption
as well as the global aspirations of the U.S. government. They
make available free of charge all of their archives and do their
own research into conflicts of interest and cronyism. Their
name is a spoof name because it directly attacks The Project for
the New American Century.
The Project for the New American Century was established in 1997
by
Robert Kagan and
William Kristol and
funded by three foundations closely tied
to Persian Gulf oil and weapons and defense industries.
Calling themselves, "Neoconservatives" this small group of
ideologues penned a
Statement of Principles outlining their plan for a New
American Century wherein the United
States, as the world's lone superpower would use its military
might to topple regimes in the middle East and elsewhere that
were unfriendly to U.S.
CORPORATE INTERESTS. On their website you can read
their document
Rebuilding America’s Defenses
( .pdf format ).
According
to this document (page
51-52). "The process of transformation," the plan said, "is
likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing
event - like a new Pearl Harbor."
American Free Press asked Christopher Maletz, asst. director of
the PNAC about what was meant by the "need for a new Pearl
Harbor": "They needed more money to up the defense budget
for raises, new arms, and future capabilities," Maletz said.
Without some disaster or catastrophic event, neither the
politicians nor the military would have approved. The
new Pearl Harbor in the form of
the terror attacks of Sept. 11, provided the necessary catalyst
to put the global war plan into effect. Congress quickly
allocated $40 billion to fund the “war on terrorism” shortly
after 9/11 (please view the
Zeitgeist movie below). The
aforementioned article above is a MUST
READ for anyone interested in uncovering U.S.
imperialism.
The first leg of the PNAC imperialistic agenda was to secure the
oil supply of the Middle East. As far back as 1998
The PNAC was pressuring President Bill Clinton for the
invasion of Iraq.
Nearly all of the top levels of the Whitehouse and Pentagon have
been or still are members of this fascist organization.
Dick Cheney Vice President
Donald Rumsfeld Secretary of Defense
I. Lewis Libby Vice President Cheney’s Chief of Staff and
Assistant to the Vice President for National Security Affairs
Aaron Friedberg Vice President Cheney’s deputy National Security
advisor
Robert Zoelick US Deputy Secretary of State
Paula Dobriansky Undersecretary of State
Elliott Abrams Deputy National Security Adviser

Fred C. Ikle Pentagon's Defense Policy Board
Eliot A. Cohen Pentagon's Defense Policy Board
Henry S. Rowen Pentagon's Defense Policy Board
William J. Bennett Presidential speech writer
Jeb Bush Governor of Florida
Paul Wolfowitz World Bank President
John Bolton Ambassador to the U.N.
While the PNAC has its
own website and has published its papers outlining its
plan for military and corporate global
domination, the organization is never spoken of in
mainstream media. The refusal of the opposition democratic party
to unite and publicly address and renounce the Project for the
New American Century is alarming, to say the least.

Susan L. Woodward is a
senior fellow in the Foreign Policy Studies program at the
Brookings Institution and the author of Socialist Unemployment:
The Political Economy of Yugoslavia, 1945-1990 (Princeton
University Press). During much of 1994 she served as a senior
adviser to Yasushi Akashi, the top UN official in the former
Yugoslavia and special representative of UN Secretary General
Boutros Boutros-Ghali.
Recognition of the internal
administrative borders between the Republics as "inviolable"
international borders was in effect a legal trick, contrary to
international law, which turned the Yugoslav army into an
"aggressor" within the boundaries its soldiers had sworn to
defend, and which transformed the Serbs within Croatia and
Bosnia, who opposed secession from their country, Yugoslavia,
into secessionists. This recognition flagrantly violated the
principles of the
1975 Final Act
(known as the Helsinki Accords) of the Conference on, now
Organization for, Security and Cooperation
in Europe (CSCE), notably the
territorial integrity of States and nonintervention in internal
affairs. Truncated Yugoslavia was thereupon expelled from the
OSCE in 1992, sparing its other members from having to hear
Belgrade's point of view. Indeed, the sanctions against
Yugoslavia covered culture and sports, thus eliminating for
several crucial years any opportunity for Serbian Yugoslavs to
take part in international forums and events where the one-sided
view of "the Serbs" presented by their adversaries might have
been challenged.
Below are a couple of
sections from the Conference on Security and Co-Operation in Europe Final Act Helsinki 1975.
With reference to Yugoslavia, think about how many sections were
violated by member countries of the OSCE:
I. Sovereign equality,
respect for the rights inherent in sovereignty
The participating States will respect each other's sovereign
equality and individuality as well as all the rights inherent in
and encompassed by its sovereignty, including in particular the
right of every State to juridical equality, to territorial
integrity and to freedom and political independence. They will
also respect each other's right freely to choose and develop its
political, social, economic and cultural systems as well as its
right to determine its laws and regulations.
Within the framework of
international law, all the participating States have equal
rights and duties. They will respect each other's right to
define and conduct as it wishes its relations with other States
in accordance with international law and in the spirit of the
present Declaration. They consider that their frontiers can be
changed, in accordance with international law, by peaceful means
and by agreement. They also have the right to belong or not to
belong to international organizations, to be or not to be a
party to bilateral or multilateral treaties including the right
to be or not to be a party to treaties of alliance; they also
have the right to neutrality.
II. Refraining from the
threat or use of force
The participating States will refrain in their mutual relations,
as well as in their international relations in general, from the
threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or
political independence of any State, or in any other manner
inconsistent with the purposes of the United Nations and with
the present Declaration. No consideration may be invoked to
serve to warrant resort to the threat or use of force in
contravention of this principle.
Accordingly, the
participating States will refrain from any acts constituting a
threat of force or direct or indirect use of force against
another participating State. Likewise they will refrain from any
manifestation of force for the purpose of inducing another
participating State to renounce the full exercise of its
sovereign rights. Likewise they will also refrain in their
mutual relations from any act of reprisal by force.
No such threat or use of
force will be employed as a means of settling disputes, or
questions likely to give rise to disputes, between them.
III. Inviolability of
frontiers
The participating States regard as inviolable all one another's
frontiers as well as the frontiers of all States in Europe and
therefore they will refrain now and in the future from
assaulting these frontiers.
Accordingly, they will also
refrain from any demand for, or act of, seizure and usurpation
of part or all of the territory of any participating State.
IV. Territorial integrity
of States
The participating States will respect the territorial integrity
of each of the participating States.
Accordingly, they will
refrain from any action inconsistent with the purposes and
principles of the Charter of the United Nations against the
territorial integrity, political independence or the unity of
any participating State, and in particular from any such action
constituting a threat or use of force.
The participating States
will likewise refrain from making each other's territory the
object of military occupation or other direct or indirect
measures of force in contravention of international law, or the
object of acquisition by means of such measures or the threat of
them. No such occupation or acquisition will be recognized as
legal.
V. Peaceful settlement of
disputes
The participating States will settle disputes among them by
peaceful means in such a manner as not to endanger international
peace and security, and justice.
They will endeavour in good
faith and a spirit of co-operation to reach a rapid and
equitable solution on the basis of international law.
For this purpose they will
use such means as negotiation, enquiry, mediation, conciliation,
arbitration, judicial settlement or other peaceful means of
their own choice including any settlement procedure agreed to in
advance of disputes to which they are parties.
In the event of failure to
reach a solution by any of the above peaceful means, the parties
to a dispute will continue to seek a mutually agreed way to
settle the dispute peacefully.
Participating States,
parties to a dispute among them, as well as other participating
States, will refrain from any action which might aggravate the
situation to such a degree as to endanger the maintenance of
international peace and security and thereby make a peaceful
settlement of the dispute more difficult.
VI. Non-intervention in
internal affairs
The participating States will refrain from any intervention,
direct or indirect, individual or collective, in the internal or
external affairs falling within the domestic jurisdiction of
another participating State, regardless of their mutual
relations.
They will accordingly
refrain from any form of armed intervention or threat of such
intervention against another participating State.
They will likewise in all
circumstances refrain from any other act of military, or of
political, economic or other coercion designed to subordinate to
their own interest the exercise by another participating State
of the rights inherent in its sovereignty and thus to secure
advantages of any kind.
Accordingly, they will,
inter alia, refrain from direct or indirect assistance to
terrorist activities, or to subversive or other activities
directed towards the violent overthrow of the regime of another
participating State.
X. Fulfilment in good
faith of obligations under international law
The participating States will fulfil in good faith their
obligations under international law, both those obligations
arising from the generally recognized principles and rules of
international law and those obligations arising from treaties or
other agreements, in conformity with international law, to which
they are parties.
In exercising their
sovereign rights, including the right to determine their laws
and regulations, they will conform with their legal obligations
under international law; they will furthermore pay due regard to
and implement the provisions in the Final Act of the Conference
on Security and Co-operation in Europe
The participating States
confirm that in the event of a conflict between the obligations
of the members of the United Nations under the Charter of the
United Nations and their obligations under any treaty or other
international agreement, their obligations under the Charter
will prevail, in accordance with Article 103 of the Charter of
the United Nations.
All the principles set forth
above are of primary significance and, accordingly, they will be
equally and unreservedly applied, each of them being interpreted
taking into account the others.
The participating States
express their determination fully to respect and apply these
principles, as set forth in the present Declaration, in all
aspects, to their mutual relations and co-operation in order to
ensure to each participating State the benefits resulting from
the respect and application of these principles by all.
The participating States,
paying due regard to the principles above and, in particular, to
the first sentence of the tenth principle, "Fulfilment in good
faith of obligations under international law", note that the
present Declaration does not affect their rights and
obligations, nor the corresponding treaties and other agreements
and arrangements.
The participating States
express the conviction that respect for these principles will
encourage the development of normal and friendly relations and
the progress of co-operation among them in all fields. They also
express the conviction that respect for these principles will
encourage the development of political contacts among them which
in time would contribute to better mutual understanding of their
positions and views.
The participating States
declare their intention to conduct their relations with all
other States in the spirit of the principles contained in the
present Declaration.
"What's the point of having
this superb military that you're always talking about if we
can't use it?" said Madeleine Albright, then U.S. ambassador to
the U.N.
Madeleine Albright lived in
Belgrade, Serbia with her family between 1936-1938 and
1945-1948. Her family, of Jewish descent, moved from
Czechoslovakia to Belgrade in 1936 partly to avoid the Nazis'
persecution. Serbian people consider her a war criminal for her
actions during the break up of Yugoslavia. Below is a review of
her years of living in Serbia along with photos as well as other
facts:

Former Hague Chief
Prosecutor Carla Del Ponte says in her book “The Hunt” that the
United Nations Mission in Kosovo (“UNMIK”) hindered the Hague
Tribunal’s work. UNMIK hindered the investigation into former
Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) leader Ramush Haradinaj for crimes
against Serbs, Roma and Albanians in Kosovo in 1998. UNMIK had
started handing policing powers in Kosovo over to Albanians who
had been former KLA members and who had “intimidated prosecution
witnesses instead of protecting them”. UNMIK administration was
weak and controlled by Albanians, who practically rendered the
UN mission pointless. “How can the rule of law be implemented
if UNMIK chiefs so openly support a person who is accused of
some of the gravest crimes in international law?” Del Ponte
asks. “A message is being sent that Tribunal indictments are
meaningless, and that one accused is well regarded and even
supported by the head of the UN mission.” Read an article below
stating her comments on the Haradinaj investigation:
http://www.b92.net/eng/news/crimes-article.php?yyyy=2008&mm=03&dd=19&nav_id=48596
Chief Prosecutor Carla Del
Ponte’s office obtained information that UNMIK investigators and
officials had received from groups of so-called reliable
journalists, according to whom, Kosovo Albanians had transferred
300 Serb and other non-Albanian hostages in trucks to northern
Albania in the summer of 1999 to remove and sell their organs
before killing them. Read those excerpts below:
http://www.b92.net/eng/news/crimes-article.php?yyyy=2008&mm=03&dd=21&nav_id=48671
An association of the
families of kidnapped Kosovo Serbs who's organs were removed for
sale says it will file a lawsuit
against Carla Del Ponte. The announcement came Sunday after new
details emerged from the former chief Hague Tribunal
prosecutor's new book, which shed new light on the possible fate
of the Serbs still missing from the province.
http://www.b92.net/eng/news/crimes-article.php?yyyy=2008&mm=03&dd=23&nav_id=48733
These villainous crimes, compared just to
the horrors of Third Reich, were held by the leaders of Kosovo
Liberation Army (KLA) whose co-leader was the present-day prime
minister of Kosovo Hashim Thaci. His profile,
gathered by his opponents, contains the evidence of dozens of
crimes made by him as a field commander against the Serbians in
Kosovo.
According to
Simo Spasich, the head of the Missing in Action Families Union,
he met Carla del Ponte several times and gave her the documents,
containing evidence of Kosovo’s Serbians kidnapping and killing
in concentration camps. However even
after the prosecutor visited the house where the organs have
been removed, in the town of Burel in the north of Albania, to
see herself medical equipment and blood that proved del Ponte
was right, no further investigation was proposed. In
the recent interview to the Italian La Stampa Carla del Ponte
convinced that today a war criminal’s
pursuit is connected with solely politics.

Watch the news report below
from Russia Today:
The Swiss Foreign Ministry
has banned the promotion of Del Ponte’s book, The Hunt saying
“the book promotion is not compatible with Mrs. Del Ponte’s
position as a Swiss ambassador” to Argentina.

Do you believe that 19
countries bombed Serbia in 1999 because of the plight of the
Kosovo Albanians? The Trepca mining complex was a highly
coveted Balkan asset. Read about how Kosovo’s spoils were
distributed:

From their military base in Kosovo, Camp
Bondsteel, America plans to control Caspian oil. Camp Bondsteel,
the biggest “from scratch” foreign US military base since the
Vietnam War in the Yugoslav province of Kosovo. It is located
close to vital oil pipelines and energy corridors presently
under construction, such as the US sponsored Trans-Balkan oil
pipeline. As a result defence contractors—in particular
Halliburton Oil subsidiary Brown & Root Services—are making a
fortune.:
http://www.wsws.org/articles/2002/apr2002/oil-a29.shtml
The current US Vice
President (Dick Cheney) used to be the CEO (and now a
large shareholder) of Halliburton Technologies. More
interestingly, Halliburton (US company) holds the contracts for
both Camp Bondsteel and the US-Caspian pipeline:
http://www.halliburtonwatch.org/about_hal/ethics.html
Camp Bondsteel was not the
outgrowth of a humanitarian or “Just War” on behalf of Kosovar
Albanians. The construction of Camp Bondsteel had been envisaged
well in advance of the bombings and invasion of Kosovo in 1999.
The plans to build Camp Bondsteel under a lucrative multibillion
dollar DoD contract with Halliburton’s Texas based subsidiary
KBR were formulated while Dick Cheney was Halliburton’s CEO.
The US and NATO had advanced
plans to bomb Yugoslavia before 1999, and many European
political leaders now believe that the US deliberately used the
bombing of Yugoslavia to establish camp Bondsteel in Kosovo..
According to Colonel Robert L. McCure, “Engineering planning for
operations in Kosovo began months before the first bomb was
dropped.” (See Lenora Foerstel, Global Research, January 2008)
One of the objectives
underlying Camp Bondsteel was to protect the
Albanian-Macedonian-Bulgarian Oil pipeline project (AMBO), which
was to channel Caspian sea oil from the Bulgarian Black Sea port
of Burgas to the Adriatic.
Nine years and two wars
later, the Kosovo issue has re-emerged. It is an integral part
of the broader military roadmap. It is intimately related to the
post 9/11 US led wars in Central Asia and the Middle East.
The Balkans constitute the
gateway to Eurasia. The 1999 invasion establishes a permanent US
military presence in Southern Europe, which serves the broader
US led war. Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and Iraq: these three
theater wars were waged on humanitarian grounds. Without
exception, in all three countries, US military bases were
established.
The main purpose for the
Bondsteel military base is to provide security for the
construction of the Albanian-Macedonian-Bulgarian oil pipeline
(AMBO). The AMBO trans-Balkan pipeline will link up with the
corridors between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea basin, which
holds close to 50 billion barrels of oil.
No concessions by President
Slobodan Milosevic would have prevented the bombing. Building
Camp Bondsteel was the US mission, and, by whatever means
necessary, it would be built to ensure the completion of a
pipeline to the Caspian Sea.
http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=7941
AMBO is short for Albanian
Macedonian Bulgarian Oil Corp, an entity registered in the US.
The $1.1 billion AMBO pipeline (also known as the Trans-Balkan),
supposed to be finished by 2011, will get oil brought from the
Caspian Sea to a terminal in Georgia and then by tanker through
the Black Sea to the Bulgarian port of Burgas, and relay it
through Macedonia to the Albanian port of Vlora.
Clinton's NATO war against
Yugoslavia and pro-Albania was thus crucial to secure Vlora's
strategic location. The oil will then be shipped to Rotterdam in
the Netherlands and refineries on the US West Coast, thus
bypassing the ultra-congested Bosphorus Strait and the Aegean
and the Mediterranean seas.
The original AMBO
feasibility study, as early as 1995, and then updated in 1999,
is by a British subsidiary of Halliburton, Brown and Root Energy
Services. AMBO fits into Vice President Dick Cheney's (and
before him, Clinton's energy secretary Bill Richardson's) US
energy security grid. It's all about go-for-broke militarization
of the crucial energy corridor from the Caspian through the
Balkans, and about trying to isolate or sabotage both Russia and
Iran. http://www.nwo101.com/2008/02/long-road-from-kosovo-to-kurdistan.html
The link below is to a documentary movie called “Zeitgeist”. You may have seen this documentary already. Check with the site periodically as they will also release the movie with subtitles in English, Serbian, Norwegian, Slovak, Greek, German, Russian, Hungarian, Dutch, Swedish, Chinese, Italian, Bulgarian, Slovenian, Japanese, Portuguese, Arabic, Polish, Czech, French, Spanish and Hebrew. The movie is just over two hours long. We assure you, it is well worth your time. If you are pressed for time, we recommend that you forward to the 40 minute mark of the movie where part 2 begins. Part 1 has nothing to do with the U.S. government.
Part 1 is a critical look at all religions, so if you are
religious, do not let the first 40 minutes keep you from
watching the remainder of the movie. Part 2 onwards should be mandatory viewing for all American citizens, particularly for those who lost loved ones in 9/11.
The movie should also be viewed by anyone who is bothered by the
American government's actions throughout the world. This movie raises many questions by offering evidence to counter what was told to us by the U.S. government.
If the U.S. government would
kills so many of its own citizens for their own imperialistic
aims, then it is easy to see why they were indifferent to
killing so many
Serbs ("collateral damage") during the 1999 bombing campaign.
In fact, the following
website is home to numerous documentaries focused on the impact
of the "Rulers of the World". Whether you are interested
in what happened at 9/11 or how India is slowly being poisoned,
this website contains more free documentaries than one could
ever watch:

Is America being
brainwashed? Repeat a lie often enough . . .
The United Nations Office on
Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has released a new report in March
2008. It warned that the axis between South American drug
cartels and the Albanian mafia have reached "alarming
proportions", while reports by several intelligence agencies
show that Kosovo is a distribution center on the crossroads of
global routes and pathways of drug trafficking.
Former official of the
United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Michael
Levine has said that one of the wings of the Kosovo Liberation
Army (KLA) was "linked with every known narco-cartel in the
Middle East and the Far East", and that almost every European
intelligence service and police has files on "connections
between ethnic Albanian rebels and drug trafficking".
"Albania and Kosovo are the
heart of the Balkan drug trade route which links Pakistan and
Afghanistan with Europe. That route is worth around USD 7bn
annually and around 80 percent of the heroin intended for the
western European market is smuggled along this route," said a
report presented to the U.S. Congress.
International
representatives in Kosovo complained in the recent years that it
is "difficult to estimate, in the complicated relations on the
political scene of the Kosovo Albanians and ethnic Albanians in
Macedonia or southern Serbia, whether politics controls
organized crime or the mafia controls politicians".
The agency says it its
report that it is "also possible, however, that organized
criminal groups in Kosovo in fact have no influence on the
authorities because they are actually those who are in power, as
Italian General Fabio Mini said on his departure from the post
of commander of KFOR, the international peacekeeping force in
Kosovo". Read the entire article below: http://www.b92.net/eng/news/crimes-article.php?yyyy=2008&mm=03&dd=26&nav_id=48825
Becoming the president of
the United States is a lucrative financial proposition. If you
believe that these individuals enter public service and earn
$400,000 annually serving the American public and $150,000
annually as a pension, then think again. Nobody is sure exactly
the wealth that sitting and former U.S. presidents accumulate,
but the following article on the Clintons might give you a
flavour for what range they are in as well as where some of this
wealth comes from. Are policy decisions that comes from the
white house based solely on politics, or are there conflicts of
interest and hidden agendas that allow political leaders to
create incredible wealth for themselves and their friends? Read

The Movie Judgment! Exposes
the Phony 'Death Camp' Pictures that Fooled the World. In
August 1992, millions of people were shocked to see photographs
of a supposed Bosnian Serb death camp.
The photos were produced by
ITN, the British TV news giant, from footage shot by an ITN film
crew which spent a long day in Bosnia. The film was shot in a
refugee center in the town of Trnopolje. (Pronounced Tern-op-ol-yay)
Most of the photographs
featured a tall, emaciated man with a deformed chest, stripped
to the waist, apparently imprisoned behind barbed wire. Do you
remember those pictures?
They were a hoax. They were
the start of the "demonization" of the Serb people. The
movie Judgment! is undisputable PROOF that those images were a
hoax.
View the movie Judgment! for
free below on You Tube or purchase the movie, but if you don't think this movie
proves that the world was lied to about Bosnia, Emperor's
Clothes (http://www.tenc.net/)
will refund every penny
There are two websites that
have a similar goal to this website. One of them is the
Emperor's Clothes:
http://www.tenc.net/
You can spend many hours on
these two websites as they contain evidence and proof of the
breakup of Yugoslavia and western policies towards Serbia.
The editor of the Emperor’s
Clothes is Jared Israel, a third generation American of Polish
and Lithuanian Jewish ancestry whose relatives on his mother's
side were all killed by the World War II German and Lithuanian
Nazis. Read Jared’s biography below:
http://emperors-clothes.com/editors.html
Within his bio page, read
the letter that was written by a Jewish physician from Serbia.
It describes the relationship between Serbs and Jews within
Serbia and the great lengths that the Serbs went to during the
Second World War to shelter Jews from the Nazis. A quote from
the letter is below:
"It is my desire as a Jew
and as a Serb that in free democratic countries where Jews are
still enjoying full freedom and equality they should show
gratitude to the Serbian people, pointing out their noble acts,
their humane feelings, and their high civic consciousness and
culture.... "
Jared displays his shock as
the western media targeted powerful American Jewish
organizations during the breakup of Yugoslavia. Even though
the Sebs had died protecting Jews during WWII and enjoyed very
good relations with Jews, American Jewish leaders branded the
Serbs as "the new Nazis" and called President Milosevic "the new
Hitler".
The other website containing
very good information about Serbia and the reasons for its
breakup is the Serbian Network:
http://www.srpska-mreza.com/
The website is co-edited by
Petar Makara who is a computer scientist. Dr. Makara lives in
the United States but hails from Yugoslavia. He has spent
considerable effort informing the western world about the attack
on the country of his birth. There are many documents on Petar’s
website that display the cordial historical relationship between
Serbs and Jews.
Read
Joseph’s commentary which quotes American leaders Bill Clinton,
Defense Secretary William Cohen, Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., Sen.
Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., former Sen. Bob Dole and David Scheffer,
U.S. ambassador for war crimes leading up to and during the 1999
bombing campaign of Serbia:
"By the time
the snows fall next winter, there will be genocide documented on
a large scale in Kosovo," said Biden.
"History
will judge us harshly if we do not take action to stop this
rolling genocide," said Hagel.
"What we
have in Kosovo and what (we) had in Bosnia was genocide, and
that's why I think we should intervene," said Dole.
"There are
indications genocide is unfolding in Kosovo," said State
Department spokesman Jamie Rubin.
Cohen
characterized the bombing campaign as a "fight for justice over
genocide."
Scheffer
said Kosovo was one of the top three genocides since 1950,
rivaled only by Rwanda and Cambodia.
Bill Clinton
compared the atrocities in Kosovo to the Holocaust. Kosovo, he
said, "is not war in the traditional sense. Imagine what would
happen if we and our allies instead decided just to look the
other way as these people were massacred on NATO's doorstep."
It turns out
that as few as 2,108 people were actually killed in Kosovo (on
all sides) over a period of months leading up to and including
the period of heavy bombardment of Serbia by NATO forces.
The Racak Massacre was the
catalyst for the Kosovo war, but it never happened. Associated
Press TV crew had filmed a gun battle at Racak between Serb
police and KLA guerillas. Also present were two teams of KVM
monitors (international observers). Does it make any sense that
the Serbs would invite the press and observers if they were to
execute a massacre of civilians? The KVM observers saw no sign
of a massacre nor did the villagers say anything about a
massacre. Dead KLA fighters from the battle were dressed
overnight in civilian clothes and their bodies placed in
trenches.
The following day, the head
of the European observer team, a U.S. diplomat named William
Walker, went to Racak at the KLA's invitation. He saw a
collection of bodies, then proclaimed it a massacre and a "Serb
atrocity" before the world.
Immediately U.S. President
Bill Clinton, German Defense Minister Rudolph Scharping and
others used this so-called massacre to charge Belgrade with
"genocide" and to justify military intervention against
Yugoslavia.
Bill Clinton said, "We
should remember what happened in the village of Racak...Innocent
men, women, and children were taken from their homes to a gully,
forced to kneel in the dirt, sprayed with gunfire -- not because
of anything they had done, but because of who they were." This
“staged” media event gave NATO the pretext to bomb Serbia for 78
days straight. There is a report that the Finnish forensic
pathologists who investigated the incident on behalf of the
European Union completed that states there was no evidence of a
massacre. News like this or the news above does not make the
front page or the lead story. It is hardly published at all.
