We have to kill 8000 people. We have made the curious decision to truck the victims across war-torn Bosnia, 8 hours round trip. We will need time to load and unload, to refuel, time for maintenance, time for drivers and guards to eat, and waiting time, while the 'cargos' are 'processed,' so we must add at least two hours more, making ten hours per round trip. Let us requisition 25 trucks. For the Bosnian Serb army, stretched thin over a 2,000 mile long front, that's a lot of trucks, but OK. Let's dump ten victims in back of each truck instead of six, as suggested by Mr. Nice, the prosecutor at the Milosevic trial. In order to transport 8000 men, each truck would need to complete 32 round trips. At ten hours per trip, that means 320 hours of driving per truck, if things go smoothly. But would they go smoothly? Srebrenica was seized by the Bosnian Serb army on the 11th of July. What kind of "front" would our caravans of trucks find after driving from Srebrenica south to Treskavica Mountain? Well, on the 10th of July, the day before the Serbs took Srebrenica, according to Radio Bosnia-Herzegovina: "The information centre of the Bosnia-Herzegovina 4th Corps (based in Mostar) reported that 'the newly achieved lines of the 4th Corps on Mt Treskavica have been pounded by enemy heavy artillery. They [i.e., the Bosnian Serb army] have also attempted several infantry attacks aimed at recapturing lost territory." [4] On the 13th, the same Muslim radio station reported: "On the Treskavica and Trnovo fronts, the aggressor attacked all the lines of our defence positions with artillery and all types of infantry weapons. On these fronts, the artillery of the Army of the Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina (successfully) neutralized the enemy' s firing positions..." [5] On the 14th, the Serbian side reported: [Report from Yugoslav Telegraph Service news agency starts here] Muslim forces Friday again attacked Bosnian Serb positions along the entire line of confrontation on Mount Treskavica south of Sarajevo, Bosnian Serb army sources said... Muslim units are continuing to open mortar fire on all heights in the area of Treskavica where they had lost positions in heavy fighting in the past few days and are attempting an infantry break-through, the local Bosnian Serb army command said. [6] [Report from Yugoslav Telegraph Service news agency ends here] On the 15th and 16th, the Serbs reported continued fighting on Mt. Treskavica. On 21 July, the Washington Post and other papers reported that: "Since May, government forces evidently have captured 150 to 200 square kilometers of Serb-held territory in the Treskavica Mountains south of Olovo, as well as other territory to the northeast and southeast of Tuzla." [7] So according to the Washington Post, since May (actually, it was since April) the Serbs had bitterly fought their enemies over every bit of real estate on Treskavica Mountain, and the fighting continued after the Serbs took Srebrenica on 11 July. Indeed, as late as 5 August, Ratko Mladic, commander of the Bosnian Serb army, praised a Bosnian Serb brigade as follows: "This brigade on 1st August this year, in a powerful thrust, broke through Muslim lines on Treskavica and liberated the strategic peaks of Hum, Cardak and Kragujevac, creating conditions for the further advance of Serb forces." [8] And days later, Guardian writer Ed Vulliamy was reporting that, in this area, "the battle lines still move to and fro." [9] How many times would one of our trucks drive all the way to Treskavica mountain only to be forced to turn back due to nearby fighting? How many trucks would be blasted by enemy or friendly fire? How many drivers or guards would be shot by snipers? How many times would the execution site have to be moved, as enemy forces overran it? or seized a nearby peak? or threatened to seize it? or began an artillery barrage? How long would it take to move the 8000 victims, with all the inevitable delays and losses we would incur? 32 days? 60? 90? How many trucks would we lose? 5? 25? 100? Are we talking about 32 trips by 25 trucks or 50 trips by a hundred trucks, or a hundred trips per truck with trucks constantly having to turn back or risk being destroyed? How many troops would we need to escort our trucks and protect the execution site from enemy attacks? It appears that this task assigned to us by prosecutor Nice may become the major preoccupation of the Bosnian Serb Army. And remember, nobody must find out what we are doing; but how shall we avoid it? Isn't it almost inevitable, with our trucks traveling a never-changing, highly predictable route into an ever-changing military front, that the enemy will notice, and our trucks will be seized? And that we shall see our drivers and the intended victims on the six o'clock news? The US military says it has spy satellites photographing every square inch of planet earth. In 1995, NATO had UAVs and U2s as well, remote-controlled spy planes equipped with the latest technology, buzzing over Republika Srpska, filming every move made by Bosnian Serb forces. But, until prosecutor Nice showed his footage ten years after the fall of Srebrneica, nobody is supposed to have noticed a thing. Could their satellites, U2s and UAVs have failed to spot our sizable and continuous convoy of trucks, at a time when they claim their attention was focused on the area around Srebrenica? With constant delays and inevitable losses due to trying to murder 8000 unwilling individuals by first trucking them 160 km into a shooting war, our criminal enterprise might well drag on into September. But at the end of August, NATO began all-out bombing attacks on Republika Srpska, blowing up anything that moved, including chickens. Somehow, NATO planes must not notice and destroy our caravan of trucks, forever creeping along the same route between Srebrenica and Treskavica Mountain. Neither rain nor treacherous road nor carpet bomb may stop us! The Mohammedans must die in Treskavica! I submit to you that this is preposterous. And by the way, I did not mention the bodies. As we shall see when we look at The Hague Tribunal footage, the six supposed Muslim prisoners are marched up a mountainside (or so it appears) and then, in Mr. Nice's video production, are supposedly shot. Until now, the media and The Hague Tribunal have claimed that the supposed Srebrenica massacre victims were buried in graves in Eastern Bosnia, not 100-120 kilometers to the south, in Treskavica Mountain. That version of the massacre story was sold to the public starting 10 August 1995, when the US government told the UN it had satellite pictures of freshly turned earth in a soccer field, supposedly constituting proof of the existence of a huge Srebrenica mass grave located six miles north of Srebrenica. (The US has never shown those pictures to the public...) [10] A problem with killing people is that afterwards they can't walk. Will The Hague prosecution now tell us that, after executing each batch of Muslims, the Skorpions, while dodging enemy artillery shells, must drag the bodies back down the mountain and hoist them into the trucks, following which the drivers must drive them a hundred-plus kilometers for burial, thus graciously enabling the US to photograph mass graves north of Srebrenica, though they never do photograph any of the trucks or executions? Or do NATO and The Hague Tribunal (which, according to NATO, might as well be NATO [11] ) wish to rewrite their previous propaganda story, quietly moving the mass graves south to Treskavica? I have a theory that may explain why prosecutor Nice was told to spin this crazy horror story about shipping truckloads of Muslims to Treskavica Mountain. I've been studying battle reports. From April to July 1995, the reports indicate that thousands of fighters - especially Muslims - were killed in and around Treskavica Mountain. After battles it is standard practice to bury the dead, sometimes in mass graves, in order to clean up the battle field. So there are many graves, big and small, all over the Treskavica area. In ten years time, NATO and the Hague have been unable to produce and identity the bodies of anywhere near the 8000 Muslims they claim died in Srebrenica. Those bodies they have produced are easily explained by the fact that a) Muslim commander Nasir Oric is on record boasting of all the Serbian civilians he butchered in villages around Srebrenica and b) a couple of thousand Muslim troops died trying to fight their way through Serbian lines after Srebrenica! fell. Much of this fighting took place in villages previously turned into ghost towns by Nasir Oric. [12] Perhaps NATO and The Hague wish to move their execution story south to Treskavica so that, in time for the predicted arrest of Bosnian Serb commander Ratko Mladic, and the 10th anniversary of the fall of Srebrenica, they will have the great luck to 'discover' the long promised but never produced mass graves. I'll come back to that. But first, let us examine the supposed execution footage. As to which is more absurd, prosecutor Nice's narration about executions on Treskavica Mountain, or the video footage itself, I will let you decide. For me, it is too close to call. - Continued in Part 3 - Jared Israel Editor, Emperor's Clothes [Footnotes and Further Reading follows the appeal] ======================================================== Emperor's Clothes Needs Your Help!
