Could We Be Wrong Again?

Just as America unwittingly backed Islamic militants in their jihad against Serbia, it appears the United States, and most of the Western world, is siding with another savage militant minority.

Unconfirmed, from Russia Today:

The Regnum news agency is reporting that Georgian troops burned down a 10th century Orthodox church while terrified civilians perished inside. The agency quotes eyewitness accounts of the atrocity after all-out fighting in Khetagurovo, a small village near the republic’s capital Tskhinvali.

Almost all of those fighting to defend the village were killed, but the report says the fate of others, mostly women and the elderly, turned out to be even more horrible.

Eyewitnesses report that Georgian tanks literally ran people down and that soldiers took almost all the women to another location. Their fate is still unknown.

Other gruesome details have emerged, via Daily Mail Online:

In another atrocity, innocent villagers were crushed under the tracks of oncoming tanks, claimed Regnum.

Another allegation - again without detail or confirmation - is that locals were cowering in cellars for safety when Georgian forces flooded their hideouts.

[...]

Putin was reported to have been told how several girls were locked in a village house before it was set on fire, burning them alive.

'We saw how a tank hit and then drove over the body of an elderly woman who was trying to flee,' one eye-witness was quoted as saying.

'We a saw a body of an 18-month-old baby that had been stabbed to death by Georgians.'

Could America be wrong about this conflict in Georgia? It wouldn't be a surprise. After all, we have been wrong before.

What Really Happened In Bosnia?

(Hat Tip: kuffarharbi at LGF)

NATO and the Western mass media told the public that the Bosnian Serbs had a racist and genocidal ideology, and committed atrocities.

Did they?

... It was Alija Izetbegovic, the leader of a minority Bosnian Muslim faction, the one that NATO supported, who wrote a book calling for the slaughter of infidels so that a Muslim takeover could install an Islamist theocracy in Bosnia.

Kosovo Muslims Object to Minority Voting

Kosovo Muslims are objecting to elections which would allow the minority Serbs (non-Muslims) to elect leaders to represent them. For years in rejecting Kosovo independence, Serbia had warned of the erosion of rights and the destruction of democracy. The true agenda of Albanian Muslims in Kosovo is now beginning to reveal itself.

But will the West listen?

PRISTINA, Kosovo-Some 400 ethnic Albanians in Kosovo are protesting Serbia's plans to hold elections in Kosovo.

The protesters were waving Albanian flags while throwing garbage and sprinkling sewage water Friday at Kosovo's government building and the U.N. mission in the capital Pristina.

The protesters blame the United Nations and local institutions for allowing Kosovo's Serb minority to vote in Sunday's local and parliamentary elections. Serbs will be choosing between pro-Western leaders or radical forces that seek closer ties with Russia.

The U.N. has run Kosovo since the war ended in 1999 between ethnic Albanian separatists and Serb troops. Ethnic Albanians leaders declared independence this year.

Albanians protest against voting in Kosovo

Below: A pro-Serbian billboard in Kosovo before ethnic Albanian Muslims succeeded in declaring independence. The large text across the bottom says, "Kosovo is Serbia". The quote at the top right is that of George Washington's: "Now is the time to show if we are free people or slaves."

Kosovo Is Jerusalem

The Serbian people have been reduced to only 10% of their original population in Kosovo. Ethnic cleansing against the Serbs began long before the Western press ran their lurid stories of Serbian ethnic cleansing against the Bosnian Muslims. Predictably, the mainstream press ignored the earlier attacks by the Muslims against the Serbs, which first led to the war.

The lesson for Israel is that foreign powers have conspired to strip the expendable Serbs of their ancestral homeland and give it to the Muslims. In doing so, these same western powers believe that by placating and ingratiating themselves with the oil rich Muslim world they enrich their own economies. After all, Serbia does not possess any known oil reserves.

Israel, too, is bereft of meaningful reserves of oil. It too is thus expendable. The pressure upon Israel to give away its own ancestral, historic, spiritual and biblical heartland in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) grows ever relentless and insidious.

Sadly and tragically, there exists no Israeli government or leader at this critical time with the intestinal fortitude and spiritual certitude to adamantly and resolutely resist the cynical and perfidious machinations of western leaders. Israel desperately needs a leader who can talk to the world as Draskovitch once spoke for the Serbian people. Instead Olmert, Livni and Barak call for NATO to patrol the border with Gaza, monitor Judea and Samaria and, heaven forbid, oversee a divided Jerusalem.

Caroline Glick, writing in the Feb 23, 2008 edition of the Jerusalem Post sums up the Israeli government’s terminal confusion thus: "What the Serbs made NATO fight its way in to achieve, Israel is offering NATO on a silver platter." She adds, "...the lessons of Kosovo are clear. Not only should Israel join Russia, Canada, China, Spain, Romania and many others in refusing to recognize Kosovo. It should also state that as a consequence of Kosovo’s independence, Israel rejects the deployment of any international forces to Gaza or Judea and Samaria, and refuses to cede its legal right to sovereignty in Judea, Samaria, Gaza and Jerusalem to international arbitration."

Serbia must be supported by all who still cherish morality over expediency. Historical correctness must in all such cases trump so-called political correctness. As goes Serbia, so goes Israel.

Sharia Emerging In Muslim Majority Kosovo

PRISTINA, Kosovo-A human rights group criticized Kosovo's justice system Friday, saying its failure to fairly and adequately prosecute criminals is to blame for its ongoing ethnic and political violence.

New York-based Human Rights Watch urged Kosovo's government and European overseers to improve Kosovo's "extremely weak" justice system.

The report came about a month after Kosovo declared independence from Serbia and as a 1,800-strong European Union rule of law mission, known as EULEX, began its deployment there.

"Kosovo's criminal justice system is broken," Holly Cartner, Human Rights Watch's director for Europe and Central Asia, said in a statement. "It's in urgent need of fixing and that will take a real commitment by the government and the EU."

The 34-page report criticized the system's insufficient police support for prosecutors and deep divisions between national and U.N.-appointed judges and prosecutors. It said prosecutors were suspicious of national officials' ability to conduct fair investigations and deliver unbiased verdicts in sensitive cases such as ethnic crimes, political violence and corruption.

...

It also reported widespread witness intimidation and lack of witness protection programs, as well as unfairly lenient sentences because of the intimidation of national judges who "are threatened and bullied by defendants, their relatives, or their supporters."

Truth Comes Out About A Serbian "Attack"

The war in Bosnia started after the country's Muslims and Croats voted to split from Serb-led Yugoslavia, triggering a rebellion by the Bosnian Serbs. The conflict, which saw Europe's worst bloodshed since World War II, lasted until a U.S.-brokered peace deal was signed in 1995.

The attack on the army convoy happened as the Serb-dominated military was about to withdraw from the predominantly Muslim town of Tuzla as part of an agreement with Bosnian authorities. Bosnian authorities in Sarajevo have maintained in past years that the Serbian soldiers had fired first and the Bosnian troops acted in self-defense.

...

Krstic and Vukmirica told the Serbian war crimes court that the Yugoslav army soldiers were under strict orders not to provoke the Tuzla Muslim troops.

"We heard the first shots as soon as we moved," Krstic said. "And, then more and more, it was frightening, a rain of bullets from everywhere."

Vukmirica said he was in a medical truck when it was hit and set on fire.

"They were firing from everywhere," he said. "I broke the window with my hands but they got stuck."

Both Krstic and Vukmirica were seriously wounded in the attack. They were first taken to a hospital before being sent to prison where they stayed until they were exchanged for Muslim war prisoners several months later.

The Religion of Peace Kills For Islamic School Construction Rights

Islam doing what it does best - promoting its message of peace by killing anyone who opposes them. Serbian Muslims fight for the construction rights of a new Islamic school to be built on the outskirts of Kosovo:

Rival Muslim gangs that represent various religious schools of belief were trading gunfire on Friday in Serbia's southern Raska region.

The gunfight occured after two rival groups sqablled as to who will lay foundation to the newlly planned Islamic school in the city of Tutin. Two people were shot.

The two individuals that were shot belong to the faction led by Imam Muamar Zukorlic. The rival religious faction is led by Adem Zilkic who is the newly appointed chief of all Muslims in Serbia.

Chief of staff of Zilkic's office said that "Zukorlic faction wanted to lay the foundation over the existing one" that was already laid a year ago.

In February, these same rivals were engaged in brawl in the city of Novi Pazar.

Daniel Fried Interview on Kosovo

First with the lies. U.S. Assistant Secretary for European and Eurasian Affairs, Daniel Fried continues to perpetuate the Clinton era politically correct misrepresentations about Kosovo. Remember - the 'ethnic Albanians' were not a poor, oppressed minority in Kosovo, they were Muslim immigrants who systematically drove Serbians out of Kosovo by using intimidating, violence and murder.

The background is that old Yugoslavia disintegrated in the '90s through a series of civil wars. It was Serbian nationalism which was principally though not wholly responsible for the disintegration. [Ed: "Serbian nationalism" = Serbian citizens who dared to strike back at Islamic terrorists. The disintegration of old Yugoslavia was the sole responsibility of Muslim immigrants. This is the same tactic used by Palestine. They attack Israel, and then when Israel retaliates, the Palestinian government reacts with outrage, blaming Israel rather than the Muslim militants who initiated the exchange.]

In 1989 the Serbian strong man started a policy of repression in Kosovo. In 1999 NATO was forced to intervene to protect the Kosovo Albanian population from oppression, and the UN has administered Kosovo ever since. [Ed: this crackdown was in direct response to genocide being committed by Muslim Albanians against the Serbian population.]

This year after over a year of failed negotiations, the United States and almost all European countries decided that the time had come to recognize reality and to recognize Kosovo's independence. That's what happened over the weekend. Now we're working with the new Kosovo government to get that country stood up, and that government is doing the right thing and the responsible thing to protect all of the minorities including the Serbs to write these protections into law and its constitution. So we're working with them. [Ed: "them" being Islamic terrorists who were formerly leaders of the Kosovo Liberation Army.] The good news is with the exception of the Serb instigated violence in the north of the country, the rest of Kosovo is peaceful, and the government is doing the right thing.

Fried goes on to expose America's hypocrisy when it comes to Kosovo:

Well, this is the last act of what has been a series of ethnically based [Ed: Correction - religiously based] civil wars and as I said, driven principally though not exclusively by Serbian nationalist extremists, [Ed: WTF about the ISLAMIC extremists who slaughtered thousands in an attempt to ethnically cleanse Kosovo of all Serbians?!] and Kosovo's independence is, I hope, the last act in the breakup of Yugoslavia.

I think what you saw yesterday was not simply an authentic outbreak of anger, it was also the result of some incitement by Serbian government ministers who have irresponsibly and reprehensibly suggested that violence is legitimate. [Ed: This is more condemnation than the United States has ever issued to Islamic countries for provoking deadly Muslim protests throughout the world. Apparently, the legitimate and understandable anger displayed by Serbians is somehow worse than deadly Islamic riots by Muslims angered over cartoons.]

As my blood pressure rises, Fried continues with more propaganda and bullsh*t:

Kosovo has had elections, democratic ones. [Ed: No, the majority Muslims have placed KLA Islamic terrorists into power.] It's got a parliament, it's got a government. It's setting up ministries, and the United States is helping it. It's a mostly Moslem country. It's also very pro-Western, very pro-American, [Ed: To Fried, the uneducated, this is called "Taqiyya."] and they say their objective is to be part of Europe, and we want to see them get there.

Before my blood pressure explodes a vein, I'm going to leave it with one more quote from the article. The complete interview, lies and all, can be read at the link provided below.

In this segment, a caller correctly compares the break up of Serbia by uncontrolled immigration to that of the United States southwest:

Caller: I'm curious as to what Mr. Fried would say if Texas decided to break away from the United States, and if the basis of that was the large Hispanic population that is growing in the southern part of the United States. I find the role that the United States is playing in the breakup of different countries around the world quite interesting. It seems to me what's good for the goose is good for the gander, and I find it rather odd that we take these positions about countries that are trying to keep together and that we encourage their breakup. So I wonder what he has to say about that. Thank you.

[Ed: Frieds entire response to this caller is complete BS. The break up of Serbia is a precedent, which is why countries like Russia and Canada oppose Kosovo independence. Russia is facing it's own Islamic separatists, and Canada has similar issues with Quebec. The caller above was right on - if illegal immigration can saturate a territory to the point the illegal immigrants make up a majority of the population, any country with shared borders is at risk.]

Assistant Secretary Fried: The caller is just wrong. We don't consider that Kosovo is a precedent for any other situation in the world. As a rule, far from encouraging breakup of countries, we tend to oppose breakup of countries, and we don't favor separatist movements. We don't think that Kosovo is a precedent for any other separatist movement. Not in Europe, not in North America, nowhere. Nowhere. Not Texas, not Quebec, not anywhere.

The fact is, Kosovo is unique. It was the United Nations, in fact, that ended Serbia's rule over Kosovo in 1999 under the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244. The UN has administered Kosovo. That resolution looked forward to Kosovo's final status being settled and that's what we've done.

So the caller is simply wrong about the history and wrong about U.S. policy. I hate to be blunt, but that's the fact.

See that logo spray painted on the church columns? That's the symbol of the KLA, the so-called 'freedom fighters' America "rescued". So oppressed they were, burning down churches and urinating on the ruins, we had to save them from the Serbian civilians who forced them to rape, behead, torture, maim, mutilate, slaughter, etc, etc...

American Council for Kosovo is appealing to Americans for help. Please visit the link near the bottom of this post to read more about the travesty of justice in Serbia:

The American Council for Kosovo asks all Americans and citizens of other countries to contact your government to demand:

• No diplomatic ties should be established with the illegal, criminal, separatist, KLA regime in Pristina! Any ambassador nominated to Pristina must be denied confirmation!
• No foreign assistance to the illegal, criminal, separatist, KLA regime in Pristina!
• No support by the foreign mission in Kosovo should given to KLA terrorist efforts to expand their “authority” into Serb-controlled areas!
• The EU “rule of law” occupation force must be withdrawn!
• The illegal “puppet entity” on Serbian soil must be dissolved!
• New negotiations, without preconceived results, must be started between Serbia and responsible representatives of the Albanian community to reach a lasting settle consistent with international law!

Americans immediately should contact their Senators and Congressmen with these demands. They should call the White House (202-456-1111) to protest U.S. recognition and demand the above measures, or email to:

Kosovo: Key Dates in the Century Long Goal to Create Greater Albania

Key facts about Kosovo's Islamic Albanian minority of Serbia and the century long drive by Islamic extremists to exterminate Kosovo Serbs from that region:

1389---Muslims defeat Christian Serb defenders in Kosovo, depopulate the area and invite mountain tribe of Albanians, in exchange for converting to Islam, to take over pillaged land from Serbs.

1594---Sinan Pasha, an ethnic Albanian, who was a commander in the Ottoman Turkish Empire, burned the relics of St. Sava at Vracar, Belgrade. St. Sava is the Saint that brought Serbs into Christianity.

1878---Albanian nationalist leaders meet in Prizren, known as the First League of Prizren, to announce the creation of a Greater Albania, which will include all areas settled by Albanians, including Kosovo-Metohija, western Macedonia, known as Illirida, southern Montenegro, and northern Greece, Chameria. This is when the Kosovo or “Kosova” separatist agenda starts.

1878---Ottoman Turkish forces put down Albanian insurgency to create a Greater Albania. This was the first attempt to create an Albanian “Kosova” by an insurgency or by military force. A century later, another Greater Albania insurgency would have NATO and US backing.

1900-1918---Austria-Hungary and Italy are sponsors of a Greater Albania and support Albanian expansion in the Balkans, at the expense of Serbia.

1912---Albanian ultranationalists seize Skopje in Macedonia as part of a Greater Albania.

1920---After borders of “Jugoslavia” are legally settled under international law and recognized by the League of Nations, Albanian separatists launch a terrorist insurgency in “Kosova”, murdering Serbian civilians and police. This is known as the “kachak movement” and is the start of Albanian attempts to take over “Kosova” by military or armed force.

1941---Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini invade, occupy, and dismember Yugoslavia. They make “Kosova” a part of a Greater Albania under Mustafa Kruja. Western Macedonia is also made a part of Greater Albania by Hitler and Mussolini.

in Kosovo with dull knife during WWII.

1941-1944---“Kosova” is made “independent” and part of a Greater Albania by Adolf Hitler. This is when Albanian ultra-nationalists realized their goal to create a Greater Albania and an independent Kosova under Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.

1943---The Second League of Prizren, sponsored and established by Nazi Germany, reaffirms the commitment to create and maintain an independent “Kosova” and a Greater Albania under Nazi sponsorship. Later, the US and EU would replace Nazi Germany as the sponsor of Greater Albania.

1944---Albanians create a Nazi Waffen SS Division, Skanderbeg, made up mostly of Kosovo Albanian Muslims, “Kosovars”. These Albanian Muslim Nazi SS troops murder thousands of Kosovo Serbian Christians and drive thousands of other Kosovo Serbs out of Kosovo.


Albanian Muslims murder Kosovo Serbian civilians in
streets in 1941 after Adolf Hitler granted them "independence".

1944---Kosovo Albanian Muslims play a role in the Holocaust, the murder of European Jews. The Albanian “Kosovar” Skanderbeg Nazi SS Division rounds up Kosovo Jews who are sent to the Nazi concentration camp at Bergen Belsen where they are killed.

1948---The U.S. brings Midhat Frasheri, the leader of the Nazi/fascist Balli Kombetar, National Front, whose goal is a Greater Albania that includes Kosovo, and other wanted Albanian “Kosovar” war criminals, such as Xhafer Deva and Hassan Dosti, to the U.S. to form anti-Communist forces for the takeover of Albania. The U.S. put the Communist regime in power in Albania then sought to overthrow it by means of “regime change”.

1951---The U.S. organizes and launches Operation Fiend, one of the first experiments in “regime change” in Albania. Frank Wisner is one of the leaders of the project. His son would lead the efforts in 2006 to create a Greater Albania, an independent “Kosova”, which his father failed to achieve.

1968---Albanian separatism in Kosovo emerges. Closer tries with Albania are established.

1969---Kosovo Albanians begin closer ties with Tirana and begin importing textbooks and teachers from Albania and create their own Albanian school system and university. The “Albanianization” of Kosovo begins.

1974---The Communist dictator Josip Broz Tito changes the Yugoslav constitution giving Kosovo Albanians control of Kosovo. Albanians control every area of Kosovo from the police to teachers to judges.

1981---Albanians in Kosovo demand independence or secession from Yugoslavia. They demand to be a Republic which is code for independent or a part of Albania. They demand: “We Want a Unified Albania!” Dozens are killed in separatist riots. Serbian Patriarchate in Pec is burned down but no one knows how or why.

1982---British historian Nora Beloff notes that “ethnic cleansing” originated in Kosovo when Albanian Muslims killed or drove off Serbs. Albanians begin terror campaign of ethnic cleansing against Kosovo Serbs. From 1981-1989, an estimated 20,000 Kosovo Serbs are driven out of Kosovo by Albanian ultranationalists.

1982---Ethnically motivated murders of Kosovo Serbs begin with the murders of Kosovo Serbs Danilo Milincic and Miodrag Saric.

1985---Kosovo Serb Djorje Martinovic is “found with a broken bottle up his anus.” Albanian attackers sodomized him to force him out of the province to create an ethnically pure Kosova. US media claims that Martinovic was a closet homosexual who injured himself. The brutal sodomy of Martinovic inflames passions in the rest of Serbia.

1987---Fadil Hoxha, leader of Kosovo Albanians, advocates that Albanian Muslims rape Kosovo Serb women.

1989---Murders, rapes, desecration of Kosovo Serbian property, churches, and cemeteries forces Serbian government to rescind “autonomy” that Communist dictatorship created.

1991---Albanian separatists respond by proclaiming Kosovo a republic, which is tantamount to independence, which is recognized only by neighboring Albania. Albanian separatists gain sponsorship of a Greater Albania by contributing money to Thomas Lantos, Robert Dole, and Joe Biden. The U.S. becomes the sponsor of Greater Albania.

1996---A violent and armed terrorist and separatist group emerges, the KLA/UCK, whose goal is to create a Greater Albania, an independent “Kosova”. KLA begins killing Kosovo Serb civilians and police. Dozens of Yugoslav policemen, Serbs and Albanians, are brutally murdered by the KLA.

April, 1998---95 percent of the Yugoslav population rejected international mediation on Kosovo in a referendum. The so-called Balkan Contact Group imposed new international sanctions against Yugoslavia even though the decision was by a majority of the Yugoslav population, that is, was democratically determined.

July-August, 1998---The KLA separatists takes over 40 percent of Kosovo by force, by killing Yugoslav police and driving Kosovo Serbs out. The KLA terrorist groups are well-armed and supplied. The U.S. is one of the backers of the KLA separatists or terrorists.

1998---US State Department declares the KLA separatists are “terrorists”. US media dismisses the pronouncement.

1998---US media dismiss the fact that the Kosovo conflict is an illegal land grab, a separatist, ethnic war to create a Greater Albania. Instead, the US media concoct a deception that the conflict is about “greater rights” and “genocide”, when it is about Greater Albania, an independent, ethnically pure “Kosova”.

October, 1998---NATO plans airstrikes against Yugoslav targets, which would later include hospitals, nursing homes, passenger trains, TV stations, power grids, factories, and busses. Many of these attacks are war crimes under international law.

January 15, 1999---A “massacre” is manufactured in Racak by the US media and government. In fact, those killed were KLA separatists who had murdered Serbian policemen and had been killed in combat against Yugoslav police.

February, 1999---At a staged peace conference at Rambouillet, the US demands that Serbia allow Kosovo to become an independent nation after three years and that US and NATO troops be allowed to occupy Serbia. The US diktat was meant to force a war which the U.S. had long been planning. Rambouillet was a transparent sham.


1983 -- Kosovo Serb farmer carries his daughter
who was raped by Kosovo Albanian Muslims.
Rape of girls was used by the Islamic extremists
to drive out the Christian Serbs.

March, 1999---Yugoslavia’s democratically elected leaders reject the US peace deal as tantamount to dismemberment and military occupation, unacceptable to a sovereign state.

March 24, 1999---NATO launched air strikes against Yugoslavia for 78 days, killing thousands of Serbian civilians. The KLA and U.S. advisers create a fake humanitarian catastrophe by telling and even forcing Kosovo Albanians to flee into Albania and Macedonia Yugoslav forces are falsely blamed for driving out Albanians. The U.S. scores a huge propaganda success with images of refugees.

June 10, 1999---NATO forces Slobodan Milosevic to withdraw Yugoslav forces from Kosovo and to allow NATO to occupy it. NATO occupies Kosovo.

June 12, 1999---After 50,000 NATO peacekeepers begin deployment in Kosovo, over 200,000 Kosovo Serbs, Roma, Gorani, and Jews are forced out of Kosovo by Albanians. Thousands of Kosovo Serbs are murdered by Albanians as NATO takes control of the province. Over 150 Serbian Orthodox Churches would be destroyed by Albanian Muslims protected by NATO troops.

March, 2004---March Pogroms: Albanians attack the last remaining Kosovo Serbs to drive them out of the province to create an ethnically pure Shqip Kosova.

October, 2006---Serbia held a referendum and approved a new constitution which declared that Kosovo was an integral part of Serbia. This decision had the support of the majority of the population of Serbia, that is, was democratically determined.

January 21, 2007---Serbia held parliamentary elections where the Radical Party won the most votes, although not enough votes to form a new government.

April, 2007---Russia rejected the Marti Ahtisaari proposal in the U.N. Security Council because it violated Serbian sovereignty by supporting Albanian separatism.

June, 2007---U.S. President George W. Bush claimed that Kosovo had to be independent "sooner rather than later." This is an issue for the UN to be decided under international law, however, not a decision for the President of the U.S.

August, 2007---Envoys from the U.S., EU and Russia began 120 days of further negotiations between Albanian separatists and the Serbian government in order to reach an agreement. No agreement was forthcoming because the only “agreement” the U.S. was pushing was an independent “Kosova”. There was nothing to negotiate about. The negotiations were a sham and a hoax.

December, 2007---Albanian separatist efforts fail at the U.N. The U.S. and Albanian goal is then to unilaterally declare independence outside of international law and the UN Charter, which is illegal and violates the sovereignty of Serbia and denies the will of the majority of Serbs. The majority of the Serbian population rejects the secession of Kosovo by Albanian separatists. This decision is reached by means of the democratic process.

February, 2008---Having failed to achieve their separatist agenda through international law and in the U.N., the U.S. switched gears and told the Albanian separatists to unilaterally declare an independent “Kosova”. This is an illegal act which violates all international norms and conventions and laws. The U.S. reliance is on military force only. The illegal measure is justified by force only.
