1. Who is Vojislav Kostunica?
2. The Yugoslavian elections and the West
3. The U.S. Moves to Impose a Puppet Regime in Yugoslavia

*******************************************************

Who is Vojislav Kostunica?

Kostunica is a political personality who not until the presidential
election campaign was introduced by the Western media and who,
according to the reports, previously had played only a subordinate
role in Serbia and Yugoslavia. He is the chairman of a "Democratic
Party of Serbia". For a short time now he has been the presidential
candidate of the "Democratic Opposition of Serbia", a coalition of
several parties in which apparently Zoran Djindic calls the shots,
acting as Kostunicas campaign manager.This
union actually already tells essentials about Kostunica, because among
the "opposition" politicians who since long have been built up by the
West, Djindic is the one who during the NATO terror bombings went so
far as to demand to give up the independence of the country and to
have it formally incorporated into the realm dominated by the
aggressors. Since then, of course, he cannot dare any longer to run
for a public office in Serbia, and it seems reasonable to suspect that
Kostunica is serving as a fig leaf for Djindic's direction, for
enabling it to anyway take part in the election campaign and for
pushing the West's objectives nearer to their fulfillment in spite of
all of this.

In fact all the signs are that Kostunica is acting as the still
relatively guiltless and unsuspected one who helps Djindic come to
power - a Trojan horse of the US- and NATO-dependent opposition.

Kostunica appears as someone who objects NATO, who condemns the
aggression against his country and the separation of Kosovo, and who
also drops critical remarks about the US' interference into
Yugoslavia's domestic affairs.

It is worthwhile, however, to have a closer look at Kostunica's
statements

What, for example, should one think about the following explanations
in a speech by Kostunica of April 14, 2000:
(http://www.bbnet.org.yu/bdnet/elections/eng/0414kostunica.htm)

1. "There is one more thing Serbia desperately needs today -
national reconciliation. First of all, the living Serbs are to
bury the hatchet and allow the dead to make up and bring about
that historic reconciliation. The first step to reconciliation
is to abolish the existing division into patriots and traitors.
After all, the present-day rulers of Serbia, who decreed
themselves patriots, have demonstrated their patriotism to all
but the Serbs. They have built other people’s countries and
demolished their own. They did many a good turn, but caused
their own people to grieve. Slobodan Milosevic has committed a
mortal sin against his own people and his own state.
Accordingly, he has to leave."

Here Kostunica accuses Milosevic who so far has been trying, within
the bounds of his possibilities, to defend Serbia's and Yugoslavia's
independence, of being a non-patriot, whereas he wants figures like
Djindic who definitely represent nothing but serfdom towards the West,
to be freed of the treason accusation.

In the same speech Kostunica continues:

2. "It is my duty to say one more thing. There is another sort
of violence that befell our misfortunate people - external
violence spearheaded by power-wielders in Washington and
Brussels. The forms of the external violence are the long-
standing sanctions, last year’s bombs and support to Albanian
terrorists in Kosovo. Whatever the source, violence is always
violence, despite occasional attempts at presenting it as
humane. It is hard to believe that people are killed, exhausted
and starved by sanctions, and that their environment poisoned
for their own benefit. First and foremost, we have to trample
the domestic violence underfoot. In order to survive as a
people, we have to normalise our relations with the world, but
we must neither disregard nor forget the foreign violence
conceived by the United States and NATO. More importantly, we
must never elevate it in our esteem or present it as anything
else but violence. Otherwise we will forget who and what we
are."

These sentences deserve a more detailed commentary.

Here "the external violence" is criticized, and a critical attitude is
at first taken towards NATO, towards the US and the EU. If however
this is at the same time subordinated to a maxim like "whatever the
source - violence is always violence", this criticism immediately
evaporates into cheap talk. For it is by no means unimportant from
which sources violence originates and which objectives it serves.
Violence motivated by neocolonialism, as exerted by NATO's latest war,
by the economic sanctions and the starvation strategy against the
Serbian people, has to be objected and fought against exactly because
of its political goals, whereas military violence for repelling this
aggression is necessary and must be supported. More generally, the
resistance against these objectives of the West cannot be denied the
right to apply force if necessary.

Even more clearly Kostunica speaks in the following when he goes so
far as to declare the "domestic violence" to be the main enemy. This
means in other words: we regret to be the victims of violent acts by
the NATO countries, but it is not our main task to do away with that
but instead with the domestic violence. Having the situation in mind
one has to understand by this "domestic violence" repressive acts by
the Milosevic government, and in the first place such against the
so-called opposition of the Djindic and Draskovic type. Kostunica here
apparently chooses expressions by which the most miserable forces can
be vindicated. He avoids the concrete articulation of just demands
from the people against
the bureaucratic apparatus, although he likes to allude vaguely to the
struggle against corruption, but on the other hand he puts possible
justified measures by the government against treason, or corresponding
acts by the people, on the same level as the suppression of democracy.

Here Kostunica's adaptation to the West's strategy becomes already
very clear.

Now a passage from an interview with the magazine
Vreme:(www.freespeech.org/ex-yupress/vreme/vreme79.html)

3."I also believed that we have to distance ourselves from
declarative, conterproductive support coming from the present,
departing, American administration which has proved to be
absolutely useless for the opposition and democratic forces in
Serbia. And that support can cause a lot of harm in the
election campaign. It is common knowledge how they can help the
population in Serbia. It seems that some European states are
far more aware of that, and they have over some small but
important projects, such as energy for democracy, established
some cooperation and assistance and led to a quiet and gradual
abolishment of sanctions."

To publicly play the distance from the US is absolutely necessary for
somebody who wants to act as an opponent of the Milosevic government -
this Kostunica is admitting here. If the connection with the US is all
too clear, if somebody like Djindic appears in Ms. Albright's office
for receiving her orders, if the US from their part are too openly
sponsoring, financing and media-supporting this "opposition", this
cannot be but "counterproductive", therefore its image has to be
changed. The substance of NATO's policy however is what this Kostunica
identifies himself with. The program "energy for democracy" is nothing
but a part, an element of
the war and its continuation by different means. After the bombs had
destroyed power plants, refineries and transport routes and an import
blockade had been erected, NATO offered delivery of oil and food to
those
regional rulers in Yugoslavia who would associate themselves with NATO
against Milosevic It is a prime example of the "democracy" of Western
capitalism which even after decades will be able to claim a prominent
place in the list of its self-exposures: 'you dance to our tune and
acknowledge the government we selected for you, or else we look after
your dying a wretched death.'

One more clear example for Kostunica's bootlicking of this kind of
"democracy" (from the same interview):

4. "VREME: In first news about your presidential campaign,
foreign news agencies mostly described you as a 'moderate
nationalist, inclined to democratic changes', and 'a fierce
critic of the American administration'.
Would you add anything to or take away from this news agency
portrait of Vojislav Kostunica?

KOSTUNICA: I would add a few things. Above all, there is a
radical dedication to the struggle against corruption,
regardless of its source. That has characterized my political
struggle so far. As far as the fierce criticism of the current
American administration is concerned, it does not at all imply
an anti-western attitude. On the contrary. That criticism is in
a way balanced with a different attitude with respect to
Europe. That criticism is pro-western rather than anti-western.
In as much as it advocates the return of the West to its
original democratic and liberal values."

The European governments which represent this dog's muck of an "energy
and food for democracy" program, are for Kostunica relatively close to
the "original democratic and liberal values" of the West. Enjoy your
meal! Apart from the toadying, Kostunica's analysis completely misses
the heart of the matter. In fact, the EU countries made war against
Yugoslavia shoulder to shoulder with the US, and exactly they in fact
are the ones which continue to exert massive pressure against Serbia
and Yugoslavia by their extortionist policy. Basically they are only
subordinates of the US.
Concerning this one more statement by Kostunica. In a "Statement by
Democratic Oppostion of Serbia (DOS) Presidential Candidate Vojislav
Kostunica 18.9.2000" he says:

5. "In what they called a message to the Serbian people, EU
foreign ministers unequivocally pledged to lift the sanctions
against Yugoslavia if the September 24 election results led to
a democratic change, thus furnishing compelling evidence that
Europe’s policy towards Yugoslavia has changed for the better.
Of course, it would have been much more useful for Serbia’s
democracy hadn’t the ministers made the lifting of
international sanctions conditional, but this gesture of
goodwill will no doubt mean a lot to the Serbs, particularly
given the fact that we have already fulfilled their sole
condition - readiness for democracy. This is also yet another
opportunity to pay full respect to France’s diplomacy and
Hubert Vedrine, a man at its helm."

The shameless extortion from the part of the EU which ties the
abolition of the embargo to the installation of a government according
to the wishes of the US and the EU, for him really is "a change for
the better", "a gesture of goodwill".

We don't to withhold from the Serbian people what a special sort of
friend Mr. Kostunica chose for it in the person of Hubert Vedrine, the
French foreign minister. In an interview with the US paper
"International Herald Tribune" of April 20, 1999, Vedrine came to the
fore:

(Q.) "The air strikes seem to put the Serbian population
strongly in tune with their leader, Slobodan Milosevic. Is a
harsher Western military blow needed to bring home to people
the consequences of what they've done, perhaps shock them to
their senses after living in denial about the outside world
for several years?

(Answer Vedrine:)
"For 10 years, in fact, ever since Mr. Milosevic seized on the
Kosovo issue to propagate the backward-looking nationalistic
delusions that have done so much harm to the country he runs.
Someday the people of Serbia will have a place in Europe, but
right now they have developed a mood of paranoia - which
existed before the air strikes but has worsened.
After a decade in which Serbian leaders have misled their
people so badly, Western governments can't operate in terms of
collective guilt, we can't make war on a people. We did not
intervene to change the regime in Serbia; we intervened
because the Kosovo situation was intolerable. Now we have to
work for solutions, not think about punishment. It's going to
take the Serbs a long time to recover and we're somehow going
to have to manage for them - until they are again ready to
take responsibility for themselves."

From: kla...@aol.com

THE YUGOSLAVIAN ELECTIONS AND THE WEST

The 1999 war against Yugoslavia, if you look at how the West behaved,
how
self-righteously an aggression and a terror bombing against a country
were
justified, and afterwards the making up the minds for somebody else
and the threatening were sold as "democratic policy", is truly
singular in history. Such a bold and unconcealed posture was second
not even to the most arrogant gestures of a Hitler. The late
Breshnew's theories about limited sovereignty are just peanuts as
compared with how the West of today treats the whole world and
presumes to determine election outcomes
in several countries in advance. It has already become a standard
formula if Ms. Albright, US secretary of state, declares towards the
leader of a country that there "will be trouble" if the election
doesn't produce the result that suits the US. Interference like that
would have lead to outcries in the past; every other country would
have been utterly condemned.

All of that is being outdone by what is presently done with Yugoslavia

The present government has without doubt its weaknesses and provides
targets. But indubitably it has kept up the banner of Serbian
independence since 1995 and attempts to assert itself also against the
great powers. In a time when almost all statesmen, especially in
Europe, excel by incredible toadyism and bootlicking in front of US
imperialism, this must be regarded as something exceptional and
valuable.

Already before the elections there were warnings that all results
which would not lead to Kostunica's absolute majority would be
regarded as falsifications. And when the counting still was on, the
Western media and statesmen for their part without further ado
declared Kostunica the winner, although besides their own projections
no figures were available yet, and even Kostunica's followers had not
yet given figures. There are no considerable figures yet but Gerhard
Schroeder already announces that an election victory by the so-called
opposition is crystallizing itself
clearer and clearer. Where does the chancellor Schroeder know this
from?

Still some weeks ago even the men behind this so-called opposition in
the Foreign Office in Washington or in Josef Fischer's office or
elsewhere were very sceptical about the fragmented movement and
doubted if it really would be able to gain ground in the elections.

Several times already there were attempts from the West to build an
opposition in Serbia, in 1997 and later on again, and always this was
a failure. During the war in 1999 probably 95% of the Serbian people
backed the government and condemned NATO's terror attacks.

The main figures of this so-called opposition like Zoran Djinjic are
infamous and discredited in Serbia. Because of their despicable
behavior
and their direct partisanship for those who threw bombs on Yugoslavia
they
had lost almost any credibility. The discreditation is also valid for
the
highly dubious figure of Vuk Draskovic who on the one hand makes deals
with the West, too, and on the other represents an extreme Serbian
chauvinism, in particular also during the time when the Serbian name
by
the acts of Serbian chauvinists in Bosnia but also in some other areas
of
conflict was deeply connected to wrongdoing - what is to be the
pretext in
1999 and 2000.

It is very significant in this context that one of the figures who
bear a
good deal of responsibility for certain Serbian forces' latest
inglorious
tradition, Seselj - a radical rightist and in the war until 1995
intermediary of the Bosnian Serbs - stabs Milosevic into the back in
the
present situation and is working into the hands of the so-called
opposition. And this is actually cherished by the West. Also the
infamous
butcher Arkan who not long ago lost his life by an attack, had
connections
into the US. And didn't their and German government's most compliant
tool
in Serbia, their "model democrat" Djinjic, demonstratively travel to
Pale
still in 1995, when the official Serbia already had more and more
distanced herself from Karadzic, and showed solidarity with Karadzic
who
is known to bear the responsibility for innumerable war crimes from
the
part of certain Bosnian Serbs? Which standards are employed here? And
the
same people claim the moral right for themselves to pass judgement
over
Serbia, to cover her with terror bombings, and in face of the present
elections they even pretend to represent the interests of the Serbian
people!

Kostunicas nomination as presidential candidate is the attempt to
seemingly show a way out for Serbia with a new figure, in order to
actually open the portal for those who want to get Serbia completely
in
their clutches; it is a trick in order to complete the dictate over
Serbia
by these forces from the US in coalition with other capitalists in
Europe.

Who is that Vojislav Kostunica who bestowed to this so-called
opposition
at least a relative success in the elections?

>From all what has become known Kostunica is a relatively unknown
>quantity,
having so far kept himself more in the background. He is not
stigmatized
by open partisanship with NATO as it is the case with Djinjic. He
appears
as a patriot, recognizes Kosovo as part of Serbia and has condemned
the
bombings by the US and the NATO. There are however several recent
interviews in which he unmasks himself as a fundamental admirer of the
US
and the EU, criticizing the US only because of his all too open
support
for the so-called opposition which would discredit it completely in
front
of the Serbian people. He even goes so far to support the EU 's
extortionist policy to lift the embargo only for cities which are run
by
the so-called opposition, and to supply oil and food to them. [See
also
"Who is Vojislav Kostunica" at
<http://www.neue-einheit.com/is/is2000-23e.htm> ]

It cannot be called just interference what the West is doing regarding
the
elections in Yugoslavia. This would be a gross understatement. From
the
outset it is dominated by extortion. Already in July 1999, after the
war
was in the main over, Clinton declared that there would be economic
aid
for the country destroyed by NATO bombs only if Milosevic would
disappear.
(See note) It is impossible to conceive of a more direct interference.
And
the same people who talk like this are now posturing and declare their
resolve to look after correctness in the elections.

If the elections were rigged we cannot decide from here. If the
administration or parts of it should have committed something like
this it
certainly must be investigated in detail, evaluated and lead to the
corresponding consequences. But also this has to be regarded in
relationto
the general situation. One thing however is for certain: to flatten
the
economic fundaments of life with bombs, openly declaring that this is
for
creating need and hunger, in order to force the people to accept the
government chosen by the West so that they can get oil and food, is
the
harshest variant of vote rigging which can be imagined.

Whatever the present government may be reproached of in detail: there
is
no right whatsoever for the West, for these terror bombers, these
rogue
politicians to raise such moral accusations. Their whole cause is
extortion and interference from the beginning to the end. Serbia would
even have the right to put every politician who sides with the West,
and
this is also in fact the case with Kostunica, on the ground of
illegality
in Serbia, because a country has the right to act against traitors.

Those who bombed and extorted Serbia now put forward the kind of logic
that Belgrade has to acknowledge "the Serbian people's will" - and
they
have the nerve to define that will - in order to prevent "an
escalation of
violence".

We hope that the Serbian people will prick up their ears here, and
that as
much of this extortion as possible is also publicly clarified and
denounced.

But even if now those should come to power who make deals with these
criminals and blackmailers and are in cahoots with them, there will be
no
democracy at all in Serbia, notwithstanding the election mechanisms
which
might be installed. Then the unconcealed and brutal dictatorship of
international capitalism in Yugoslavia will be the consequence, so
that
any movement of national independence and autonomy - and this is the
precondition for democracy in Serbia and Yugoslavia - will be
impossible
from the start.

We still want to say some words about the hopes which, as it seems
from
here, are stirred by the so-called opposition's propaganda. The
Yugoslavian people are promised opening and modernizing of the
society,
participation in the international progressive developments, probably
also
better and more interesting job opportunities etc. We see such wishes
justified, actually much new has to happen in this respect, not only
in
Serbia and Yugoslavia. But to tie such hopes to a change of government
towards the opposition built up by the West must be questioned. Russia
also was promised the opening by the West, what became reality under
the
government of the forces supported and controlled by the West is such
a
disaster that many millions of Russians, up to 40 or 50 millions, have
left the country.

In particular the integration into the EU as promised by people like
Kostunica will be translated into reality only under the condition
that
Serbia makes the total inner kowtow in front of the Western political
order of today, going as far as to self-denial. The European
countries'
inner development not only shows positive signals. A doubtful
extinction
of great parts of the production basis, the discarding of parts of the
own
population, and the extinction of own identity are leading to
considerable
social problems which already begin to show and which will show with
all
of their consequences in the future. As a negative example you can
take
Germany with a development of the own nation's population towards
self-eradication, with its destruction of the will for independence
and
for future going to a dangerous limit, a development which took place
in
particular during the last 25 years. A lot is being just a façade here
and
actually the EU itself is in a deep state of crisis.

Because of all of these points named here we are not at all able to
sympathize with the so-called opposition which actually is easily
boughtfrom top to bottom, or even hedge the slightest wish that it be
victorious. Very certainly there are social conflicts and problems in
Serbia which must be solved. These however the Serbian and Yugoslavian
people have to settle within their own framework, without any foreign
interference. Here, though, forces are active who work for the
complete
occupation of Serbia by the NATO, the US, France, Great Britain and
the
Federal Republic of Germany, and who in order to divert from this fact
chose somebody who speaks of nation, of national independence etc. but
who
shall only serve for bringing these forces, with Zoran Djinjic in the
first place, to power.

We can afford a prognosis: even if these forces should be successful -
the
US and the other NATO countries do not have a solution. How do they
intend
to solve the Kosovo question according to their wishes if their allies
of
yesterday, the Albanians, urge the total separation? The new
government
will have to save face. For that, civil war-like occurrences might be
the
consequence in Kosovo. The contradictions which today exist in Serbia
won't be solved by the West by means of this kind of lackeys. Many of
their promises will vanish into thin air. Capitalism does not make
such
attempts to corrupt without reason.

If the forces who stand for Serbia's national independence really want
to
grasp a chance yet, then they will have to attack the miserable
essence of
this so-called opposition to the full extent, and in the future they
certainly will have to fight decidedly against privileges,
mismanagement,
corruption and other things within the bureaucratic state apparatus.
This
will be a precondition. A renewal of the state is needed but how and
under
which preconditions it will take place, this will be the decisive
factor.

We want to express the hope that the Serbian people will resist the
infiltrative methods as it resisted the war and the military
threatening.

The whole of Europa is required to lift the sanctions against
Yugoslavia
immediately!

Note:
In this year's June, concrete sums for the "post-Milosevic Serbia"
were
named by the US and the EU to the participating members of the so-
called
opposition, at a meeting of the so-called "Balkans stability pact": $
4
billions.

The U.S. Moves to Impose a Puppet Regime in Yugoslavia

by Michel Chossudvosky and Jared Israel
www.tenc.net
[Emperor's Clothes]

Yesterday we wrote an article analyzing the situation in Yugoslavia.
Before we could publish it, our analysis has been confirmed by
events. We
have confirmed from an unimpeachable source that members of the
"democratic" opposition have been visiting Belgrade residents,
threatening to murder
them if they voted in the runoff elections. (Our interview with one
person who received such a visit will be published shortly) Now there
are
incomplete reports of the burning of the Yugoslav parliament - where
the
government has a majority of seats - and the sacking of sections of
Belgrade and murder of citizens who don't support the opposition.
These
measures are intended to bring a US puppet regime to power.

The article follows.

The evidence is mounting that the "Democratic" opposition strategy in
Yugoslavia, worked out under the guidance of Washington and Bonn, is
not
to elect Mr. Kostunica President of Yugoslavia.. If it were, why
wouldn't
they gladly participate in runoff elections, given that Kostunica has
an
admitted 10% lead.? One reason they don't want to participate is that
most of the approximately 40% of the electorate which did not vote in
round one would most likely vote against Kostunica in round two.

But apart from that, the main reason is that the president of
Yugoslavia
has no power without a parliamentary majority. The elections gave the
current government a clear majority in both houses.

NATO's plan for Yugoslavia is to apply the most severe economic shock
treatment which requires domination of the government. The shock
therapy
was admitted by Mr. Dinkic, chief economist for the opposition:

"we are thinking of adopting... a shock therapy in some areas, and
mild
and gradual reforms in others," Dinkic told Beta. : Beta news agency,
Belgrade, in Serbo-Croat 1828 gmt 26 Sep 00 posted by BBX Oct. 5,
2000)

The same was stated in law HR1064, passed by the US House of
Representatives a day after the elections. This law granted an
additional
105 million to be shared between the pro-NATO government of
Montenegro
($55 million US) and the leaders of the DOS ($50 million.)
That money was released on an emergency basis - Oct 1. It was
immediately
wired to the DOS bank accounts in Budapest and then smuggled across
the
border in new US bills for immediate use. to
destabilize Yugoslavia.
The law ordered that the most draconian economic "reforms" be imposed
on
Yugoslavia, ordered the breakup of Serbia into separate min-states,
ordered the imposition of complete "democratization", that is,
adoption
all
measures demanded by the US and ordered the hunting down of all
people
whom NATO decides to accuse of being war criminals,

The violent economic "adjustment" and political destruction mandated
by
HR1064 and outlined in the program of 'democratic" opposition itself
are
an attempt to crush Yugoslavia as a force capable of resisting US
domination of the Balkans, to reduce it to an impoverished territory -
a
colony. .

These measures cannot be implemented unless NATO has full control of
the
Yugoslav government including the army and police. (The other
alternative, invading a Yugoslavia run by a hostile government, is
politically unfeasible for NATO) .

Therefore the DOS has used the charge of "election fraud" - endlessly
repeated but never with any evidence - as an excuse to boycott the
runoffs.
In contrast, the fraud involved in the US paying hundreds of millions
of
dollars to the "democratic" opposition is never mentioned. This bribe
money violates the electoral laws of every country. Using the veneer
of
protesting election fraud, the "democrats" are mobilizing all possible
forces in an attempt to seize power by force. These include
pro-fascist
Croatians and pro-KLA Albanians who are the hard core supporters of
the
pro-NATO Djukanovic government in Montenegro, they include ,
secessionists from the Serbian province of Vojvodina and southern
Serbia,
young people who have never worked and who are being fed trickles of
cash
from the several hundred million dollars the US has pumped into
opposition hands, people coerced by superiors at work or by school
headmasters to demonstrate, people bribed by a taste of the vast sums
of
money the US has pumped into Yugoslavia especially in the past two
weeks, and people who have been fooled by the massive, US funded
campaign, by "independent" media, public relations firms and election
pollsters, into believing that their falling living standards, caused
by
sanctions just as severe as those imposed on Iraq, are the "fault of
one
man - Milosevich" and that the US-backed opposition will bring
prosperity. In fact they would bring the prosperity of the grave.

Because the truth is that countries like Bulgaria and Russia which
have
swallowed the "democratic " bait are far poorer than Yugoslavia - even
though they are not suffering from sanctions. and were not yet bombed

The scenario is much like what occurred in Chile in 1973.. There was
the
same sort of disruption of transportation and essential services
including
electricity. There was the same effort to create the appearance of a
majority movement against Chilean Pres. Allende.. Events were staged
which a captive media misdescribed as popular protest, giving ordinary
people the impression that Allende was about to fall. At the same
time,
the CIA-directed plan deprived the people of basic necessities,
causing
real unrest. In Yugoslavia, the disruption of the supply of essential
commodities started before the election with a US-instigated rise in
the
price of bread

Under cover of disruption and "popular protest: the CIA overthrew
President Salvador Allende and installed a pro-US military junta
headed by
General Augusto Pinochet.

The strikes which crippled transport and food distribution in Chile
were
funded by the CIA. The same is being attempted right now in
Yugoslavia.
Vast sums of US tax payers money has been poured into opposition
coffers
in Serbia. We know of $182 million. But this is only what is
officially
admitted. What about CIA money, which the New York Times says is going
into Serbia "in suitcases full of cash"? What about money from the
Soros
Foundation and other CIA-connected "charities"? This money is
being used to finance the miners' strike and to lure young people
into
the
Western-created group Otpor by giving them money and trinkets, like
cellular phones. .

Of course, many Yugoslav people are disgruntled. one miner told the
'NY
Times': "I used to make $1500 a month. Now I make $80." Dishonest
forces
put the blame for this on the government that is resisting US control.
In
fact, the problem started because in 1989 a World Bank plan, overseen
by a
leading member of one of the current 'democratic' opposition groups,
closed over a thousand Yugoslav business, devastating the economy. The
wars and sanctions, whose fault lies with the US and Germany, have
further
hurt the economy. The Yugoslav government, routinely accused of being
dictatorial, has tolerated the creation of an immense Fifth Column in
Serbia by the US government, which has poured m8llions into the
funding
and training of what tare falsely called "civil society"
organizations.
These organizations, funded through the National Endowment for
Democracy,
Freedom House, the USIA, the CIA and the Soros Foundation, among
others,
pay thousands of people in Serbia and maintain and entire "alternate"
media with the latest equipment and high salaries. This media then
uses
the problem caused by the US to sow discontent among anyone who is
susceptible.

The US effort to destroy Yugoslavia goes back to 1984. A U.S.
National
Security Decision Directive NSDD133 entitled "United States Policy
Toward
Yugoslavia. Labeled SECRET Sensitive has recently been de-classified.
It
is a prescription for destroying Yugoslavia as an economic and
political
entity.

Since the elections on 24 September, the Democratic opposition has
met
with NATO officials in Sofia, Bulgaria. NATO Assistant Secretary
General
Paul Klaiber was in Sofia and Bucharest for high level discussions on
security issues resulting from the elections. Barely reported in the
media, an
IMF donors' conference was held behind closed doors, Two leading
"democratic" representatives presented their so-called "Letter of
Intent",
a plan for imposing harsh economic measure on Yugoslavia, to their IMF
and
World Bank leaders. And on the 4th of October, the Stability Pact for
Southeastern Europe was meeting under its so-called "Title III" which
pertains to "security issues." The elections and "transition" in
Yugoslavia were on the agenda. The press reports do not confirm that
the
two "democratic: representatives stayed for these meetings. We suspect
they did..
The ploy being employed now is to create chaos while dangling
promises of
money and peace, instigate whatever elements - children ignorant of
politics and lured by money, secessionist elements, fascists, people
under
compulsion from superiors - along with infiltrators from NATO armed
forces
disguised as rebellious youths, to terrorize Yugoslav loyalists and
create
the impression of popular revolt. Already we have learned that DOS
activists are going around Belgrade, threatening death to anyone who
votes
in the Sunday elections. Further provocation may occur at any time.
These
"democrats" aim to provide Washington and NATO with a pretext to
intervene
as "peacekeepers" as they did in Bosnia.

In the meantime, not only are NATO war ships in the Adriatic, but
foreign
troops are already on Yugoslav soil. British SAS special forces are
training paramilitary police in Montenegro to assassinate Yugoslav
army
officer,. Money is being channeled to finance these groups..

What we are witnessing is nothing less than an attempt to install a
fascist-like government in Yugoslavia, to turn all of Yugoslavia into
Kosovo. Yugoslavia has stood up to the biggest bully in history, the
US
government. Now it is time for all who oppose the creation of
US/German
dominated world empire to stand up for Yugoslavia.
