Rand Corporation: Beginnt einen Krieg um die US-Wirtschaft zu retten

RAND Corporation bedrängt Pentagon: Beginnt einen Krieg um die US-Wirtschaft zu retten

Schockierender Vorschlag soll das Militär davon überzeugen, eine Großmacht anzugreifen

Laut Berichten aus den führenden Medienorganen Chinas präsentierte die RAND Corporation dem Pentagon kürzlich einen schockierenden Vorschlag über einen neuen Krieg mit einer Großmacht, um die amerikanische Wirtschaft anzukurbeln und um eine Rezession zu vermeiden. Eine hitzige Debatte ist nun in China darüber entbrannt, welche Großmacht das Ziel sein wird. China selbst, Russland und sogar Japan stehen im Verdacht, Ziel einer
Aggression zu werden.

Die Berichte berufen sich auf Quellen in den französischen Medien die den Vorschlag der RAND Corporation enthüllt haben wollen, die für die Rettung von Wall Street veranschlagten 700 Milliarden Dollar besser in einen neuen Krieg zu investieren, was widerum die schwindenden Aktienmärkte beleben würde. Die RAND Corporation ist eine berüchtigte, enorm einflussreiche Nicht-Regierungsorganisation (NGO) mit engen Verbindungen zu dem militärisch-industriellen Komplex sowie zu den Ford-, Rockefeller- und Carnegie-Stiftungen. Zu den derzeitigen Direktoren von RAND zählen u.a. Frank Charles Carlucci III, der ehemalige Verteidigungsminister und stellvertretende CIA-Direktor, Ronald L. Olson, Koryphäe des Council on Foreign Relations und ehemaliger Minister für Arbeit, sowie Carl Bildt, ranghohes Bilderberg-Mitglied und ehemaliger Premierminister Schwedens. Carlucci war Vorsitzender der Carlyle Group von 1989-2005 und beaufsichtigte die gigantischen Profite des Rüstungsunternehmens nach 9/11 und der Invasion Afghanistans. Die Carlyle Group erhielt auch Investitionsgelder von der Bin Laden Familie.

Es wird berichtet dass in dem Vorschlag von RAND schamlos erklärt wird, dass ein neuer Krieg gestartet werden könnte um die Wirtschaft zu beleben. Es wird betont, dass der gewählte Gegner eine einflussreiche Großmacht sein müsse und nicht etwa ein kleineres Land wie Afghanistan oder der Irak. Die Berichte führten zu einer hitzigen öffentlichen Debatte in China über die Möglichkeit eines neuen globalen Konfliktes am Horizont. Chinas größtes Medienorgan Sohu.com spekuliert dass das Ziel des neuen Kriegs wahrscheinlich China oder Russland sein werde, es sich aber auch um den Iran oder ein anderes Land im mittleren Osten handeln könnte. Japan wurde auch als mögliches Ziel aufgelistet da Japan die meisten Schulden der USA halten. Nordkorea wurde in Betracht gezogen aber letztlich ausgeschlossen weil der Maßstab eines solchen Krieges nicht groß genug wäre für die Bedingungen von RAND.

Current directors of RAND include Frank Charles Carlucci III, former Defense Secretary and Deputy Director of the CIA, Ronald L. Olson, Council on Foreign Relations luminary and former Secretary of Labor, and Carl Bildt, top Bilderberg member and former Swedish Prime Minister.

Carlucci was chairman of the Carlyle Group from 1989-2005 and oversaw gargantuan profits the defense contractor made in the aftermath of 9/11 following the invasion of Afghanistan. The Carlyle Group has also received investment money from the Bin Laden family.

Reportedly, the RAND proposal brazenly urged that a new war could be launched to benefit the economy, but stressed that the target country would have to be a major influential power, and not a smaller country on the scale of Afghanistan or Iraq.

The reports have prompted a surge of public debate and tension in China about the possibility that a new global conflict is on the horizon.

China’s biggest media outlet, Sohu.com, speculated that the target of the new war would probably be China or Russia, but that it could also be Iran or another middle eastern country. Japan was also mentioned as a potential target for the reason that Japan holds the most U.S. debt.

North Korea was considered as a target but ruled out because the scale of such a war would not be large enough for RAND’s requirements.

The reported RAND proposal dovetails with recent comments made by Joe Biden, Colin Powell, Madeleine Albright and others, concerning the “guarantee” that Barack Obama will face a major “international crisis” soon after taking office.

It also arrives following a warning from Michael Bayer, chairman of a key Pentagon advisory panel, who echoed the statement that the next administration will face an international crisis within months of taking office.

One would hope that good people, or at least sane people who don’t wish to start a global nuclear war, will oppose the RAND proposal, such as top the military generals who threatened to quit if Bush ordered an attack on Iran. Admiral William Fallon, the head of US Central Command, quit in March last year as a result of his opposition to Bush administration policy on Iran.

MPRI - Georg Soros and Washington Behind Terrorist Assaults In Macedonia

MPRI is one of the main important crime and terrorist organisationa in the world

Washington Behind Terrorist Assaults In Macedonia

Global Research, September 10, 2001

While Washington supplies National Liberation Army (NLA) terrorists with brand new weapons “Made in America”, some 3000 heavily armed NATO troops have been given the mandate to “disarm the rebels” and enforce the cease-fire. Code-named “Essential Harvest”, this bogus “peacekeeping” operation under British command is intended to weaken the Macedonian Armed Forces and destabilize national institutions.

“As much as their text [”peace plan”] is brutal, more brutal and worrying is the fashion in which they are trying to break up Macedonian state institutions,’ … All of the terrorist actions in Macedonia have been supported by the Western democracies… all threats and blackmails have been presented so far, except that NATO will conduct an air-strike on us.” (Macedonian Prime Minister Mr. Ljubco Georgievski)

 


It is now documented beyond doubt that Washington is behind the terrorist assaults in Macedonia. While Secretary of State Colin Powell reaffirms America’s resolve to “combat terrorism”, US military advisers are fighting alongside the NLA terrorists:

“Among the rebels that were withdrawing were 17 “instructors” - former US officers that provided military training for the rebels. Not only that: the Macedonian security forces claim that 70% of the equipment that the guerilla fighters took with them are of US production and the latter includes highly sophisticated third generation night vision devices.” 1

US Forces Protect the Terrorists

In late June, the Macedonian ARM undertook a major assault against KLA-NLA positions in Aracinovo, a village close to Skopje. In a NATO sponsored operation which “was supposed to allow the Macedonian Army to gain significant rebel territory”, US troops were sent in to “evacuate” and “disarm” the terrorists:2

“When the terrorists were defeated and showed a white flag, the OSCE and NATO were in panic and ordered us [the Macedonian authorities] to stop immediately the [military] action. Swedish Foreign Minister Ana Lindth and the European leaders were hysterical, threatening us with economic sanctions, etc. Furthermore, the OSCE and KFOR entered Aracinovo and ’saved’ 500 terrorists together with their weaponry and took them to another village from where they are now attacking again, killing civilians and undertaking ethnic cleansing in several Macedonian villages… NATO forbids us to defend ourselves when we are attacked; our territory is brutally abused by the terrorists. We have tried to defend ourselves, and they have saved the terrorists in air-conditioned buses. That has provoked harsh reaction of the Macedonian people.”3

The official “story” out of the US military base near Skopje was: “[Sorry]…but something went wrong”:4

“A confidential source at Camp Able Sentry [US base near Skopje] says the bus convoy [evacuating the terrorists] was stopped by tanks manned by NLA rebels … and the rebels left the buses and disappeared. ‘Now we have some extremely angry Macedonians on our hands,’ the American official said.”5

The same source stated that the rebels “were escorted by lightly armed American troops”, conveying the impression that the highly trained American GIs of the 502nd Infantry division could not do anything against “the tanks manned by NLA rebels” which had entrapped the bus convoy.6 The ambush story is a fabrication, for one KLA-NLA rebels do not have tanks in their arsenal.

Opening a New Front

The US sponsored “evacuation” from Aracinavo had enabled the NLA terrorists –together with their American military advisers and foreign mercenaries– “to open up a new front” around the village of Radusa, 40 kilometers northwest of Skopje. 7 “They [NATO] are transporting the rebels, the terrorists, from one area to another and rearming them, instead of confiscating their weapons.” 8 In turn, KFOR is “protecting” the NLA terrorists’ supply routes including the flow of military personnel and weapons from KLA-NLA bases in Kosovo and from training camps in Albania.

Sources in the U.S. Army in Kosovo suggest that the “evacuation” mission was also intent upon saving “the 17 ‘instructors’ among the withdrawing rebels”, presumably to avoid the diplomatic humiliation and media embarrassment of senior US military personnel captured together with the terrorists by the Macedonian Security Forces.9

Meanwhile, there are indications that US Apache helicopters and unmanned “predator” drone spy planes (UAV) (dispatched by a contingent of the US 15th Military Intelligence Battalion, stationed at Camp Able Sentry) are supporting this “new front” by transmitting military-intelligence to the rebel army’s US military advisers:

“The Pentagon… approved [mid March 2001] sending several unmanned spy planes to monitor the Kosovo-Macedonia border. The Air Force Predator unmanned drones can feed images immediately not only to troops in the region, but also to Washington.”10

And in the wake of the US sponsored “evacuation”, the KLA-NLA terrorists –together with their US military instructors– have renewed their attacks in the Tetovo region.

Recruiting Foreign Mercenaries

Since the Soviet-Afghan war, recruiting Mujahedin (”holy warriors”) to fight covert wars on Washington’s behest has become an integral part of US foreign policy. A report of the US Congress has revealed how the US administration –under advice from the National Security Council headed by Anthony Lake– had “helped turn Bosnia into a militant Islamic base” leading to the recruitment through the so-called “Militant Islamic Network,” of thousands of Mujahedin from the Muslim world.11

The “Bosnian pattern” has since been replicated in Kosovo, Southern Serbia and Macedonia. Among the foreign mercenaries now fighting with the KLA-NLA are Mujahedin from the Middle East and the Central Asian republics of the former Soviet Union as well as “soldiers of fortune” from several NATO countries including Britain, Holland and Germany. Some of these Western mercenaries had previously fought with the KLA and the Bosnian Muslim Army.12

Also among NLA recruits are Albanian-American “volunteers” enlisted in New York with the tacit approval of the US government.13 In March 2001, the New York-based Albanian-language newspaper Bota Sot printed an advertisement of the National Liberation Army (NLA) “calling Albanians [in the US] to register as volunteers and to donate money.” 14 Several hundred Albanian-Americans had formed an “Atlantic Brigade” which fought alongside the KLA in 1998 and 1999. In recent months, members of the “Atlantic Brigade” have reportedly joined the NLA.15

The United Nations Funds the Terrorists

Amply documented, the United Nations so-called “civilian” Kosovo Protection Corps (KPC) is the KLA in disguise, and the NLA is a proxy of the KLA. According to the Sunday Times: “Hundreds of KPC reservists were called up by their Albanian commander, Agim Ceku, in March [2001]. They subsequently disappeared to former KLA training camps in Albania and are now re-emerging in Macedonia.” 16

NLA rebel Commander Ostremi was until recently Chief of Staff of the Kosovo Protection Corps (KPC). To maintain appearances, Washington has “blacklisted” the KPC commanders who joined the NLA. Washington’s so-called “blacklist” –which bars the former KPC commanders from entering the US– includes the names of “Commander Ostremi, his replacement as chief-of-staff at the KPC Commander Daut Haradinaj, the commander and deputy commander of the KPC’s elite force, the Rapid Reaction Corps, plus the leaders of two of its six regional divisions, Commander Sami Lushtaku and Commander Mustafa Rrustem…” 17

From the horse’s mouth: Washington’s “blacklist” visibly refutes the claims of both the “international community” and the Western media mantra that “the NLA has no links to KLA”. In fact, the “blacklist” confirms that they are one and the same thing, with the same commanding officers in both the KPC and the NLA. Moreover, it also confirms that the terrorist assaults are led by military personnel paid by the United Nations.

When Commander Ostremi took leave from his UN job to lead the NLA, the UN “assumed he had gone on holiday”. 18 According to the Irish Times, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan failed to remove the NLA commanders from the United Nations payroll. The “international community” was still (early July) footing the bill under the disguise of UN “peacekeeping”:

“…the United Nations says it will take no action against these five men [NLA commanders], all still serving officers [in the UN sponsored KPC] because Washington has yet to pass on details of what the men are supposed to have done.”19

This pattern of “financing terrorism” from the UN purse is nothing new. The former head of the UN Interim Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) Bernard Kouchner had established close personal ties with KLA Commander in Chief Agim Ceku, who in a bitter irony was on the list of “alleged war criminals” of the Hague Tribunal. But because he was wanted in relation to “crimes committed in Croatia” rather than Kosovo, this was not an issue in his appointment by the UN to the position of Commander in Chief of the KPC. 20.

An independent report submitted to UN Secretary General Kofi Annan in 2000 confirmed that the KPC had been involved in “criminal activities - killings, ill-treatment/torture, illegal policing, abuse of authority, intimidation, breaches of political neutrality and hate speech.”21. In a cruel irony, “the United Nations is paying the salaries of many of the gangsters.”22

But what the report fails to mention, however, is that barely two months after the official inauguration of the KPC under UN auspices (September 1999), KPC-KLA commanders –using UN resources and equipment — were already preparing the assaults into Macedonia, as a logical follow-up to their terrorist activities in Kosovo. According to the Skopje daily Dnevnik, the KPC had established a “sixth operation zone” which:

“included Presevo, Bujanovac, Medvedja [in Southern Serbia] and Macedonian villages in the area of Skopska Crna Gora, Lojane, Vaksince, Straza and Lipkovo… Sources, who insist on anonymity, claim that headquarters of Kosovo protection brigades [directly linked to the UN sponsored KPC] have [March 2000] already been formed in Tetovo, Gostivar and Skopje. They are being prepared in Debar and Struga [on the border with Albania] as well, and their members have defined codes.” 23.

According to the BBC, “Western special forces were still training the guerrillas” meaning that they were assisting the KLA in opening up “a new front” in Southern Serbia and Macedonia. 24

Links to Organised Crime

Also acknowledged by official US sources as well as by numerous press reports are the links of the KLA-NLA to powerful criminal syndicates involved in the Balkans’ multi-billion dollar drug trade. Albanian and Kosovar criminal organizations are providing “a very significant support to them [the NLA terrorists in Macedonia].” 25 These criminal groups are also involved in the traffic of Albanian women into prostitution in several European countries including Britain, Italy and Germany. And part of the proceeds of these illicit activities is used to arm and equip the KLA-NLA terrorists.

In other words, in providing support to the KLA-NLA, Washington (not to mention the United Nations) is indirectly upholding the organised criminal-business syndicates which are behind the terrorists.

Treason within the Macedonian Security Forces

In April, the Commander in Chief of the Macedonian Armed Forces (ARM) General Andrejevski was accused by A1 TV Skopje of having transmitted military intelligence to the NLA through MPRI General Richard Griffiths, who is director of the US “equip and train” program with the Macedonian ARM under a US military aid programme. 26. Sixteen senior (retired) US military officers are advising the ARM.

But it so happens that the same US mercenary outfit on contract to the Macedonian ARM is also assisting the NLA rebels in their terrorist assaults. In other words, Washington is arming and advising both the KLA attackers and the Macedonian defenders under military and intelligence authorization acts approved by the US Congress. MPRI is helping Macedonia –as part of a US military aid package– “to deter armed aggression and defend Macedonian territory.” But MPRI is also advising and equipping the KLA, which is responsible for the terrorist assaults. In this war, the American military-intelligence apparatus is pulling strings “on both sides of the fence”. 27

Faced with mounting pressure, General Andrejevski has since given up his position as Commander in Chief of the ARM. But immediately following his resignation, Andrejevski was appointed “Military Adviser” to President Trajkovski, while maintaining his personal links with MPRI`s Richard Griffith who is still in Skopje, responsible for channeling US “military aid” on behalf of the Pentagon. In other words, the US military establishment is still involved on both sides, advising the NLA as well as “assisting” the Macedonian ARM. The ultimate objective of this military-intelligence ploy is to prevent the Macedonian ARM from defeating the terrorists.

Civil Society Ploy

Despite the barrage of media falsehoods, Macedonian citizens are fully aware that Washington is supporting the terrorists. To diffuse public resentment, several Western “foundations” and “human rights organisations” –including the International Crisis Group (ICG) and Human Rights Watch (HRW) are working closely with local citizens groups in Macedonia. While their formal mandate is in the areas of “confidence building”, “governance”, “peace-making” and “inter-ethnic reconciliation”, in practice, they work hand in glove with NATO. They are an integral part of the military-intelligence ploy. The role of these front organisations is to ensure that public resentment is directed against the Macedonian government and Military rather than against Washington, NATO or the IMF. 28

The Open Society Institute (OSI) in Skopje, controlled by Wall Street financier George Soros is also playing a central role in manipulating and ultimately weakening the civilian protest movement. 29 The OSI in Macedonia has launched an “Appeal for Peace” endorsed by a large number of Macedonian organisations. (More than 300 organisations and individuals have signed the OSI “Appeal for Peace”). In other words, Soros’ OSI in Skopje hosts and finances the citizens’ movement against terrorism while carefully omitting to mention the causes of terrorism.

Moreover, George Soros is also part of the Wall Street financial establishment which is colonising the Balkans. And this “economic conquest” by American financial interests is supported by the US military-intelligence apparatus, which is funneling covert support to the terrorists.

While George Soros finances “peace” and “reconciliation” initatives in Macedonia, he also supports the KLA. Across the border in Kosovo, the Soros sponsored Kosova Foundation for an Open Society (KFOS) is funding the activities of “local governments” controlled by KLA appointees. This assistance was initially channeled through a World Bank “Post Conflict Trust Fund”, of which 90 percent of the financing is controlled by George Soros.30

Needless to say, Soros is close to the seat of political power in the US, he works hand in glove with the World Bank and has significant economic interests in the Balkans. His Open Society Institute is also supporting the “alternative media” in Macedonia with all the appearances of purporting to advance “democracy” and “freedom of the press”.

Albanien: das Gesetz der Mafia

 

Die heutigen Fakten sehen wesentlich besser aus für Albanien, denn der Kosovo wurde die neue gewünschte Drehscheibe der Organisierten Verbrecher der NATO Staaten, damit gewissen NATO Politiker mit der Kosovaren Mafia ihre Geschäfte machen können. Hervorragende Arbeit machte vor allem die EU Polizei Mission PAMECA!

siehe auch PAMECA 

In alter Osmanischer Methode verkauften ganz einfach hoch kriminelle Politiker in Cooperation mit kriminellen West Politikern, den gesamten Polizei Apparat an die Mafia gegen cash mittels 1 Jahres Lizenen und dieses Geld musste ja erst einmal verdient werden. Deutschland macht bekanntlich mit diesem Mafia Polizei Dienst Verkaufs Programm aktiv in Afghanistan und dem Kosovo munter weiter.

Die Sandkasten Spiele des Botschafters Bernd Borchardt und der Hochtief Chefin: Andrea Gebbeken

Besonders lustig war wieder einmal das Jahr 2008 in der Sache!
Im Oktober holte sich der PM Salih Berisha in Berlin über 100 Millionen € Entwicklungshilfe ab und dabei waren in der Delegation auch der Finanzminister Ridvan Bode, der diese illegalen Vertrag mit Hochtief, der DEG und dem AAEF (natürlich wieder einmal ein Bestechungs Geschäft, wo die KfW finanziert) als Verfassung widrig und ohne jegliche Gesetzes Grundlage sehr deutlich schilderte.

Aber dann musste auch noch die Airport Partner Mafiosi Firma um Hochtief mit der DEG dieses Spektakel bezahlen, wo natürlich wieder einmal auch der neue Botschafter Borchhardt anwesend ist und die Deutsche Chefin von Hochtief und Airport Partner Frau Andrea Gebbeken auch mal buddeln durfte fürs TV. Das ist so eine Art Kinder Verarschung des Alb. PM denn er macht mit diesen erbärmlichen Bestechungs Gestalten einfach ein paar kleine Sand Kasten Spielchen und die Regierung erhält ihre kostenlose und Kosten intensive PR Show, von einem ausl. Unternehmen bezahlt.

Kosovo: Lost to Serbia and to the West

Kosovo: Lost to Serbia and to the West
By John Laughland
Created 2008-10-27 21:12
laughland-controversies.gif
A few days spent in Belgrade feels like an age. Although I have been here more times than I can remember (albeit not for five years or so) the country remains almost insuperably foreign. There is something radically different about the Balkans, with respect to the rest of Europe, and there are few more quintessentially Balkan states than Serbia.

Where else, for instance, would you meet a man with the wonderful name of Slobodan Despot who smiles and hands you a copy of “The Road to Revolution” by Thomas Kaczynski, a.k.a. the Unabomber? Mr. Despot is a publisher previously worked for a conservative pro-Serb publishing house in Paris and the other titles in his own list now include a consolidated calendar of Orthodox and Western saints, and the memoirs of a woman who opened a sex shop in Paris in the early 1970s.

And where else would you find yourself on a sofa sipping wine and talking to a civilised young professor of medicine who was himself ethnically cleansed from his home town of Urosevac in Kosovo in June 1999, as NATO guards transported Albanian guerrillas in their Hummers across the province to commit their vicious and systematic arson, murder and rape? Where else – especially in Europe – would you meet a monk whose 25 parishioners (in one of the main towns of Kosovo) have to run the gauntlet every Sunday in order to avoid getting killed on the way to Mass?

All these things happened to me – and much more – in the space of a very short stay last week. Ever since the United Nations took over Kosovo in 1999, indeed, the province’s endemic corruption has exploded, as I was able to confirm by talking to two American policemen who work for the international administration there. “Every level of society is corrupt,” one of them said. “Every single aspect of the society is criminal.” This is largely because the Kosovo Liberation Army, the US-backed Contra-style guerrilla force which runs the province and which controls the government, the army and the police, is also notorious for its role as a powerful organisation running drugs, guns and sex slaves to Western Europe.

If organised crime is a way of life in Kosovo, so is the systematic destruction of churches: more than 150 churches and monasteries have been blown up on the UN’s watch in the last nine years, as Albanians seek not only to expel all Serbs from the province but also to eradicate any physical record of their ever having been their in the first place. Kosovo, one should never forget, is the original heartland of medieval Serbia, the Serbs having migrated North to Belgrade and the Pannonian plane beyond as a result of the Turkish invasions. Images of an angry mob pulling down crosses and stamping on them, such as were filmed on 17 March 2004, have not been seen since the early years of the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia; just under a century later they are now, once again, part of Europe’s present.

In spite of these atrocities, which include the pogrom conducted against Serbs in March 2004 – a killing spree which went largely unreported in the West and which is now completely forgotten about – the European Union and the United States have pushed Kosovo to proclaim its own independence unilaterally, even though international law clearly forbids such a step. In 1998, the Supreme Court of Canada rejected Quebec’s right unilaterally to secede from Canada, on the grounds that the inhabitants of Quebec had full civil and political rights within Canada. Since Kosovo has been governed by the UN since 1999, their proclamation of independence now can only mean that they did not have full political and civil rights under that administration – the very body thrust onto Serbia by the “international community” in the name of human rights and democracy.

In the remaining months of this year, the Western powers (the EU and the US) will try to finesse a way of transferring power from the UN administration to one run by the European Union. The main obstacle comes from Russia which has a veto in the UN Security Council, the only body which can relinquish authority over the province. For the time being, the Belgrade government says that it opposes EULEX because EULEX was created as a vehicle for the independence of Kosovo, and Russia has said it will support Serbia. In private, however, Serb ministers admit that they will do anything to get into the EU, including accepting the amputation of 15% of their state territory.

However the circle is squared, the likely fudge of authority between the EU and the UN will cause what little government there is in Kosovo to break down completely. As one of the American policemen said to me, “How can you arrest someone if the lines of authority are unclear?” This unclarity will of course again further benefit the gangsters, pimps and drug-runners who currently constitute the government of Kosovo, and who have been the West’s allies since 1998.

Kosovo is therefore now decisively lost to the Serbs, and therefore to Christian civilisation. A war waged in the name of human rights in 1999 has led to nothing less than genocide – the wholesale eradication both of the Serb population of Kosovo since then (the few remaining Serbs live in ghettos) and of the historical memory of that population. In 1999, to justify the attack on Yugoslavia, the US State Department published a document called “Erasing History” which documented the alleged genocide against the Albanians. Now we know that the bulk of that document was war propaganda, its claims unproven despite years spent trying to prove them at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in The Hague. Yet “erasing history” is precisely what the Albanians have done in Kosovo since NATO occupied the province, and on its watch. They have also erased democracy, human rights, and all the basic tenets of common human decency. The history of the last ten years in Kosovo is nothing but tragedy and hypocrisy blended into one – a true death of the West and all it stands for.

Die Kroatische Mafia kontrolliert den Staat

Seit 1987 unterstützte bereits Hans Dietrich Genscher mit Waffenlieferungen die Kroatischen und Kosovaren Gangster und Faschisten und das sind die Resultate nach 20 Jahren, wenn man schon aktiv die Kriminelle Tschujman Regierung und Organisation aufbaute. (lt. ITCY war die Tschujman Regierung und HDZ eine kriminelle Organisation)

20 Jahre baut allein in Kroatien Deutschland massiv kriminelle Strukturen auf und steht trotzdem heute vor verschlossenen Türen, weil man von den Deutschen Gangstern im Gewande der Politik, die Nase voll hat.

Wieder Mord im Mafia-Stil in Zagreb

Weiterer Mord im Mafia-Stil in Zagreb: Ein Mann wurde am Donnerstag tot in seinem Auto aufgefunden, berichteten kroatische Medien. Die Zagreber Polizei bestätigte, dass der Mann mit zwei Kopfschüssen getötet wurde. Die Möglichkeit eines Selbstmordes wurde ausgeschlossen. Zur Identität des Mannes wollte die Polizei zunächst nichts sagen.

Kleine Zeitung

Wenn man die freien Medien wie blogs hier im NATO Medium Setimes durchliesst, kommt man zu dem Schluß, das die Mafia (sogenannte Business Männer) Kroatien kontrolliert und sich halt max. in Kroatien sogenannte Politiker, als Weg Bereiter für dubiose Geschäfte mit aus. Firmen aus Deutschland und anderen Ländern sehen.

Wenn man bedenkt, das sich extreme Kriegs Verbrecher wie Branimir Glavas bis heute der Freiheit erfreuen und das zusammen geraubte Vermögen der damaligen Gangster Bande um Tschudjman nicht angetastet wird, sind eigentlich alle EU Verhandlungen ein Witz.

Und dann diese diversen Morde im Journalisten Kreisen (wenn es z.B. um die Ossiek Massaker geht), wo die Täter wie in Montenegro nie ermittelt werden. Auch Kroatien hat im übrigen die berüchtigte Deutsche Polizei Ausbildung genossen, deren Negativ Resultate (Ausnahme PAMECA in Albanien) man überall Welt weit sieht.

Wenn man sich das einmal vorstellen kann, das die gesamte Kroatische Mafia sich ihre Akademischen Titel nur erkaufte, über 20 Jahre, dann weiss man wo diese sogenannten Eliten in Kroatien heute stehen und warum die Intelligenz das Land verlassen hat, denn mit Kriminellen, welche sich nur ihre Titel erkauften und heute dort das Land regieren, ist jede Art von Gespräch schon eine Qual.

Mordfall Pukanic:Schlag gegen die Unterwelt
Spuren führen zu Mafiaclan, der im Dienste des serbischen Paten Sreten Jocic stehen soll

Die Spuren im Mordfall gegen den kroatischen Verleger Ivo Pukani führen zu einem Mafiaclan, der im Dienste des serbischen Paten Sreten Jocic alias Joca Amsterdam stehen soll. Die Polizei hat nun zugeschlagen.
………………
Am Mittwoch und Donnerstag wurden zehn Verdächtige in Zagreb und an der kroatisch-serbischen Grenze verhaftet, acht Kroaten und zwei serbische Staatsbürger. Der Anwalt Zoran Pilipovi bestätigte, dass unter ihnen drei seiner Klienten seien: die Cousins Robert und Luka Matani sowie der Kosovare mit kroatischem Pass, Amir Mafalani. Einige Medien zählen auch den Serben Svetozar Ðuranovi dazu.

“Wir sind den Tätern auf der Spur” , versicherte bereits am Mittwochabend im kroatischen Fernsehen Innenminister Tomislav Karamarko. Einer der Verhafteten ist auf jenem Video zu sehen, das einen Mann zeigt, der die Bombe unter dem Auto von Pukani platziert haben könnte. Vier Verdächtige sind als Angehörige der Unterwelt in der gesamten Region bekannt. So hat etwa Robert Matani eine Zeitlang in einem bulgarischen Gefängnis gesessen, weil er verdächtigt wurde, den Mafioso Milco Bonev ermordet zu haben.

Alle vier sollen jedenfalls mit dem serbischen Mafiaboss Sreten Joci - genannt Joca Amsterdam - verbunden sein undin seinem Auftrag diverse illegale Geschäfte in Serbien, Bulgarien und Kroatien verrichtet und einige Morde ausgeführt haben. Amsterdam hat sein Geld als Drogenhändler verdient. Und Pukanis Ehefrau Mirjana war laut Krankenberichten, die ihr Ehemann in seiner Zeitung Nacional veröffentlichte, kokainsüchtig. Drogen könnten eine mögliche Verbindung zu den Auftraggebern des Mordes sein. Amsterdam, der als mächtigster Mafiaboss auf dem Balkan gilt, soll sein Geld kroatischen Medien zufolge nun in legale Geschäfte in der gesamten Region investieren, auch in Kroatien, sowohl mit Vladimir Zagorec als auch dessen Erzfeind Hrvoje Petrac, soll er Kontakte geknüpft haben. Zagorec, der aus Österreich ausgelieferte ehemalige Waffenbeschaffer Kroatiens, ließ das über seinen Anwalt dementieren.

Die kroatische Polizei arbeitet nun eng mit serbischen und bosnischen Kollegen zusammen. …
50 Prozent der Polizeichefs seien unfähig oder auch korrupt, weil sie nach politischen und nicht nach fachlichen Kriterien ernannt worden seien. Einige Leute an der Polizeispitze wurden bereits ausgetauscht. Und der neue Justizminister Ivan Šimonovi schlug ein “Antimafiagesetz” vor, das wie ein “Skalpell tief, aber präzise und fachgerecht” schneiden soll.

Joca Amsterdam – Most Powerful Balkan Criminal
Via organized crime, liquidations and drug smuggling, Sreten Jocic climbed to the top of criminal circles in this region.

Sreten Jocic, or Joca Amsterdam, was, claim many media sources, interested in buying assets of Vladimir Zagorec. Via Ivor Vucelic, more precisely the company that he worked for, Joca came to Zvonimir Hodak and Zagorec, but that job fell through.

Sreten Jocic alias Joca Amsterdam

Vucelic, according to the headlines, personally negotiated for the purchase of general Zagorec’s assets, but the deal fell through because of Ivana Hodak’s relationship with Ljubo Pavasovic, the lawyer of Hrvoje Petrac. This is how a business deal estimated to be worth 42 million dollars failed, a deal with one of, according to the media, most powerful Serbian criminals – Joca Amsterdam.

Let us get back to the beginning. Joca Amsterdam became the most powerful man because the previous powerful people ceased being powerful. Amsterdam was at first a paid killer, and then he eliminated the competition, who were various drug dealers. This is how he broke through to be a quite relevant player in the west European drug market.

Raising a drug empire

He established contacts with Columbian manufacturers and sellers of cocaine. That move attracted the attention of the competition, and Joca, according to

the Serbian “Vreme”, carried out many liquidations during that time, amongst which were the murders of some police officers. However, no larger violations were ever proven against him, nor was he caught regardless of the Interpol APB that was filed against him.

In 1993, Joca was in custody in the Netherlands, from which he escaped into Bulgaria, where he saw new business opportunities in trading drugs. Bulgaria, according to Vreme, was very fertile ground for new dealer operations as the corruption in the police grew, and geographically the country was already on a well known route of many re-sellers.

Because of the many APBs against his name, Joca used the pseudonym Marko Milosavljevic whilst in Bulgaria. In that time, he allegedly ordered the murder of the Dutch prosecutor Koos Plooy.

Joca was arrested in Bulgaria in 2002 and extradited to the Netherlands.

Back to the beginning

After his return, according to Jutarnji List, Jocic started to gather former members of a Belgrade (suburb of Surcin) clan, Milan Narancic Limun, Andrija Draskovic, Lkubic Buha Cumeta, and Predraga Rankovic Peconi, with who he allegedly “actively participates in the privatization of Serbian companies.

Jocic, according to Jutarnji List, was also interested in buying some large Croatian shopping chains, and as a part of those negotiations he met with some highly positioned officials of the Croatian “security administration”.

This is how Joca Amsterdam came across general Zagorec, and his building projects, which again leads to the beginning of this text, and the possible connection with organized crime in Zagreb, or Croatia…..

Upheaval in Croatia over killings

31/10/2008

Authorities have been unable to show they have the upper hand over the mafia, bloggers charge.

By Zeljana Grubisic for Southeast European Times – 31/10/08

Croatia’s image as a lawful country suffered badly during October. First, a young law intern — herself the daughter of a well-known attorney — died in a hail of bullets outside her apartment. Then came the car bombing that killed high-profile journalist and publisher Ivo Pukanic and his marketing director, Niko Franic.

“These murders, and countless earlier ones, do not help Croatia’s reputation,” writes Denis Avdagic, one of many bloggers who are up in arms over the incidents.

After the murder of 26-year-old Ivana Hodak, authorities pledged to step up the fight against organised crime, only to see an equally brazen assassination carried out in the heart of Zagreb.

“It really looks like the mafia decided to show Croatia that it is leading the country, not [President Stipe] Mesic and [Prime Minister Ivo] Sanader,” comments funky business on the blog 45 lines.

“The government’s pompous declarations about fighting criminal activity and the heart-wrenching statements of the prime minister were just manoeuvres for the moment, aiming to calm the public’s reaction towards the events, but with no real change,” writes Arhangel. “The country’s safety and security are alarming, and it is high time to do something.”

“The government and its agencies will again foam at the mouth, strongly condemn violence. For days, the media will write about the events and analyse cases. And time will pass, new events and developments will take precedence, and the Pukanic case, as others before, will remain unsolved. It’s important that the dust calms down and that those in St. Mark’s Square [the parliament] remain in their armchairs,” Arhangel concludes gloomily.

“Nothing would change if all [politicians] would collectively resign,” charges Myko. “Agencies that clean up crime are either a part of the mafia or totally incapable of doing the job.”

Lovac has an idea. “The Croatian government could easily solve the problem by supplying the public with the list of 24,000 secret service agents in Croatia. That former communist secret police is a nest of snakes.”

Finally, Avdagic takes issue with those who claim Pukanic brought his fate on himself because of alleged underworld connections. The journalist “was in a line of work where he needed to be connected with people from all walks of life, because those connections guaranteed information. Besides, he was not accused of criminal activity! Murder, in my opinion, is one of the most horrid acts a man can commit! Nobody has the right to take life from another.”

Merkel´s Freunde: BBC-Dokumentation wirft Georgien Kriegsverbrechen vor



 

 

 

BBC-Dokumentation wirft Georgien Kriegsverbrechen vor

30. Oktober 2008 von Spiegelfechter - Drucken

Am 8. August brach im Kaukasus der Krieg zwischen Georgien und Russland aus. Die westlichen Medien haben während des Konfliktes durch eine einseitige pro-georgische Berichterstattung „geglänzt“ und auch in der Aufbereitung des Konflikts geben sie ein dürftiges Bild ab. Aussagen des russischen Premiers Putin wurden in einem Interview der ARD sinnentstellend verkürzt, während der georgische Präsident per Fernschalte an Talkshows in CNN und im ZDF teilnehmen durfte. Auch wenn sich im Nachhinein die russische Version der Ereignisse als weitestgehend korrekt darstellt und die georgische Version wie ein Kartenhaus aus Lügen zusammengeklappt ist, hat sich diese Erkenntnis in der westlichen Öffentlichkeit nicht weiter ausgebreitet – wie sollte sie auch, das Thema wird von den Massenmedien entweder verschwiegen oder verdreht. In der heutigen Ausgabe der SZ darf das CDU-Nachwuchstalent von Klaeden munter und ohne Widerspruch von einem russischen Angriff phantasieren und die großzügigen Zuwendungen in Höhe von 3,5 Mrd. Euro an Georgien, von denen auch der deutsche Steuerzahler 134 Mio. Euro trägt, werden in den Medien nicht weiter kritisch hinterfragt. Der Krieg ist vorbei, Georgien ist Opfer und Russland Aggressor – Basta.

Gegen den Strom medialer Einigkeit schwimmt die „alte Tante“ BBC. Für die öffentlich-rechtliche britische Anstalt reiste der Journalist Tim Whewell im Spätsommer nach Georgien und in die separatistische Region Südossetien, um herauszufinden, was dort im August wirklich geschah. Er war der erste westliche Journalist, der über Russland nach Südossetien einreiste und dort Russen, Osseten und Georgier befragte. Seine ausbalancierte Dokumentation wurde im BBC-Hörfunk, in der Fernsehsendung „Newsnight“ und in Ausschnitten auch in den 22.00h Nachrichten der BBC gesendet. Die Dokumentation weckt nicht nur erhebliche Zweifel an der offiziellen georgischen Version über den Auslöser des Krieges, sondern wirft Georgien auch direkt Kriegsverbrechen vor.

Augenzeugen berichteten der BBC unter anderem, wie georgische Panzer gezielt in die unteren Etagen eines Wohnblocks feuerten und wie fliehende Zivilisten gezielt von georgischen Truppen erschossen wurden. Der wahllose Einsatz von militärischer Gewalt gegen Zivilisten stellt einen Verstoß gegen die Genfer Konvention dar, in schweren Fällen sogar Kriegsverbrechen. Mit den Vorwürfen gegen Georgien steht die BBC nicht alleine. Neben der russischen Regierung erhebt auch die Menschenrechtsorganisation Human Rights Watch schwere Vorwürfe. Untersuchungen von Human Rights Watch haben ergeben, dass Georgien in der dicht besiedelten Innenstadt von Zchinwali mit Panzern und Grad-Raketenwerfern auf zivile Wohngebäude schoss. Gezielte Tötungen von Zivilisten durch georgische Militärs werden von Human Rights Watch ebenfalls untersucht, wenngleich sich bislang nur Indizien, aber keine Beweise fanden, die diesen Vorwurf bestätigen könnten.

Die Russische Staatsanwaltschaft untersucht mittlerweile über 300 Fälle, in denen der Verdacht besteht, dass Zivilisten von georgischen Militärs umgebracht wurden. Human Rights Watch nennt eine Zahl von 300 bis 400 durch georgisches Militär getöteten Zivilisten als realistische Schätzung. Die Kriegsverbrechen Georgiens scheinen im Westen aber niemanden ernsthaft zu interessieren. Mit der BBC-Dokumentation konfrontiert, wiegelte das britische Aussenministerium die Vorwürfe mit wohlfeilen Worten des allgemeinen Interesses ab – ja, man werde die Untersuchungen mit Interesse verfolgen. Was sollte man auch sonst tun? Den Medien erzählen, dass man die Untersuchungen sowieso ignorieren wird? Britische Think-Tanks sind da schon ehrlicher. Robert Ayers vom Königlichen Instituts für internationale Beziehungen (Chatham House) erklärte RIA-Novosti, dass Großbritanniens Position im russisch-georgischen Konflikt sich nicht von irgendwelchen Reportagen beeinflussen lasse – dies sei eine „nationale Einstellung“. Er ist ein Hurensohn, aber er ist unser Hurensohn - Realpolitik kann manchmal entwaffnend sein.

Journalists’ anger at unsolved murders

Journalists’ anger at unsolved murders
31 October 2008 | 14:40 | Source: B92
BELGRADE — The NUNS has stressed that the murders of journalists Dada Vujasinović, Slavko Ćuruvija and Milan Pantić remain unsolved.

The Independent Journalists’ Association of Serbia (NUNS) adds that the individuals who attacked B92 cameraman Boško Branković have yet to be punished.

The Association also states that the name of the policeman who attacked Beta news agency journalist Miloš Đorelijevski has still to be made public.

NUNS states that the “disgraceful verdicts” against Kragujevac newspaper Svetlost and Šabac journalist Hanibal Kovač show that the judicial system has “openly sided with those who want to suppress freedom of speech and endanger the journalistic profession.”

Due to the constant attacks on reporters and numerous incidents against journalists, NUNS has decided to hold a Remembrance Day campaign on the last Friday of every month.

Auf den Balkan haben die Österreicher längst die Deutschen als starken Investor abgehängt

Serbien: Auf Pump und mit Raiffeisen
Aufzählung Alle heimischen Banken in Belgrad vertreten.
Aufzählung Hohe Pro-Kopf-Verschuldung.

Wien. (wak) “Nach Belgrad und Chicago ist Wien die größte serbische Stadt mit 30.000 Exil-Serben” – man sei sich eben von der Mentalität her sehr nahe, meint Herbert Preclik, der acht Jahre lang als österreichischer Handelsdelegierter in Belgrad war.

Die Sympathie scheint auf Gegenseitigkeit zu beruhen. Österreich ist mit 1,9 Mrd. Euro der größte Investor in Serbien. Heimische Exporte Richtung Belgrad stiegen im ersten Halbjahr 2008 um 18,8 Prozent auf 286 Mio. Euro. Österreich profitiert damit von der hohen Inlandnachfrage Serbiens, dem Motor des Reformlands. Schätzungen zufolge werden pro Jahr zwischen 4,5 und 5,5 Mio. Euro von Exilserben zurück an die Familie in der Heimat geschickt – und sofort investiert. Für Preclik psychologisch verständlich: “Nach dem Krieg werden eben sofort Autos gekauft.” Doch die Zuflüsse der Verwandten und der 440-Euro-Durchschnittslohn reichen nicht zum Leben: “Ganz Serbien lebt auf Kredit, “die Pro-Kopf-Verschuldung ist irrsinnig hoch”, so Preclik.

Davon profitiert allerdings zumindest eine Zeit lang das Wirtschaftswachstum, das mit prognostizierten 4 Prozent für 2009 noch immer deutlich über dem erwarteten 1,3-Prozent-Wachstum der Eurozone liegt.

Auch österreichische Banken, die allesamt in Serbien vertreten sind (Marktführer ist Raiffeisen mit 24 Prozent, der Bankenmarkt ist laut Preclik gesättigt) konnten lange gut davon leben. Kredite mit hohen Zinsen wurden vielfach vergeben. Ein Vorteil an der momentanen Krise sei wenigstens, “dass die Banken Kredite nicht mehr ganz so leicht aus der Hand geben”, meint Preclik – dadurch werde die rasante Verschuldung ein wenig gestoppt.

Montenegro ist anders

Bei den Auslandsbanken hat das seit 2006 von Serbien unabhängige Montenegro einen gänzlich anderen Weg beschritten. Da Podgorica für den Kauf einer eigenen Banklizenz 5 Mio. Euro verlangt, hat bisher nur die Hypo Alpe Adria als einziges österreichisches Institut im Land Fuß gefasst.

Umwelt Alarm für den Skhoder See, vor allem wegen Abfall Entsorgung

Alarmi: Mali i Zi derdh alumin në liqenin e Shkodrës

Liqeni i Shkodrës, më i madhi në Ballkan, është në prag katastrofe ekologjike. Kërcënimi vjen nga shteti më i vogël i ballkan, Mali të Zi. Lumennjëtë që derdhen në liqenin e Shkodrës janë të ndotura me mbetje alumini, të konsiduruara si tepër toksike. Alarmi jepet nga Drejtoresha e Zyrës Rajonale e Mjedisit në qytetin e Shkodrës, Diana Bejko. Version multimedial i ketij lajmi

SHKODER- Reziku ekologjik për liqenin e Shkodrës po mbërrin nga Mali i Zi. Sasi të madha mbetjesh alumini derdhen në liqen nga lumenjtë që rrjedhin nga shteti më i vogël i Ballkanit. Alarmi i përsëritur këtë herë më fortë vjen nga Drejtoresha e Zyrës Rajonale e Mjedisit në qytetin e Shkodrës, Diana Bejko.

Ashtu sic kishin paralajmërur specialistët vite më parë, fabrika e aluminit në kufi me Podgoricën në Mal të Zi nuk është më një kërcënim por një “përbindësh”. Fabrika derdh mbetjet e aluminit dhe kobaltit në liqen duke e cuar drejt një katastrofe të vërtetë ekologjike. “Mbetjet e fabrikës së aluminit në Malin e Zi derdhen në liqen. Kjo është me të vërtetë ndotje e rrezikshme, pasi prezupozohet se ekzistenca e metaleve të rënda në ujin e liqenit dhe sidomos përmbjatja e aluminit, krahasuar me normat e lejuara të BE, i kalon shumë këto shifra. Po kështu dhe mbetjet e kobaltit janë përsëri mbi normat e cilësisë së ujrave për standardet evropiane” tha për mikrofonin e NEWS 24, Drejtoresha rajonale e mjedisit Diana Bejko……

Ebenso entsorgt immer noch ein Montenegrinischen Aluminium Werk den Erz und sonstigen Abfall in den See. Auf Montenegrinischer Seite, leben Tausende von illegal eingewanderter Albaner und Kosovaren, welche über ihre illegal gebauten Häuser, ebenso direkt in den See ihre Abwässer einleiten. Und von der Chaos Stadt Skhoder, welche zu den korruptesten Städten im Balkan gehört, will man an dieser Stelle nicht anfangen.
