-Caveat Lector- YUGOSLAV TINDERBOX EXPLODES! ============================ (CNNS, 03/24/99) -- News is breaking hot and heavy from Yugoslavia. Amidst an avalanche of new information, this news service is deadlined to go to press due to the frenzy of reports following the illegal NATO attack on the sovereign nation of Yugoslavia. With the CNN (Cable News Network) anti-Serb propaganda machine now kicked into overdrive; with U.S. politicians and bureaucrats falling over each other in their rush to overwhelm the American public with a barrage of lies; this news service must rush to press and offer counterpoint to the tidal wave of mistruth being unleashed upon the American public. Under deadline pressure, CNNS gives against-the-tide facts which counter-act a mass media flood of misinformation. As the dust settles, the situation will become clearer. In the meantime, here is the developing picture of what is really happening. (1) An amazing circumstance is that many American citizens automatically extend credibility to mainstream news outlets, even at this late date, when those same news outlets have repeatedly been shown up as routine liars. (2) A further amazing circumstance is that many American citizens automatically extend credibility to U.S. politicians and high-level bureaucrats, even at this late date, when those same persons have repeatedly been shown up as routine liars. (3) Numerous reports that the "Kosovo Liberation Army" (KLA) is funded by the sale and distribution of illegal narcotics have surfaced. (See, for example, "Diving Into the Kosovo Quagmire," by William Norman Grigg. New American magazine, 3/15/99.) Information in Grigg's article (op. cit.) shows that the KLA is financially supported, besides via heroin sales and distribution, by Osama bin Laden, a reputed Islamic terrorist leader. Also reportedly "arming and supporting" the KLA is the nation of Iran. (Grigg, op. cit.) Yet in the strange world of *realpolitik*, the USA now has lent its muscle to the heroin/bin Laden/Iranian KLA. (4) This news service contacted Mr. Andrew B. Spiegel, an attorney knowledgeable about the Yugoslavian situation. CNNS asked Mr. Spiegel, General Counsel to the Pavlovic Peace Delegation, "Why on earth does NATO have such a profound interest in Yugoslavian internal affairs?" Spiegel offered a cynical interpretation. "Is it oil?" asked CNNS. Spiegel responded that his fears are that the true motivation behind the ongoing Yugoslav crisis is based on control of the lucrative supply of narcotics flowing through the region. A similar situation may have motivated the Vietnam War, according to Mark Sato, a former associate of Sherman Skolnick of the Citizens' Committee to Clean Up the Courts. According to Sato, the basis for the Vietnam War was a battle for control of the notorious "Golden Triangle" region of southeast Asia. (The naive believe that the NATO onslaught is based on "humanitarian" concerns. The wise are dissuaded from this caviling by grim national realities. Humanitarian concerns begin at home!) (5) Contacted by this news service, Mr. Skolnick, a veteran researcher into subrosa U.S. politics, expressed anxiety that the now-exploding Yugoslav tinderbox is chain-reacting into a repeat of the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, a dangerous showdown between the U.S. and Russia. Preliminary reports given to Skolnick by his various sources indicate that a portion of the Russian navy is now enroute from the Black Sea, through the straits of Bosphorus, and into the Mediterranean, on their way to the Yugoslav area. Skolnick has received one report from a highly placed source that military brass in the United Kingdom have gone, literally, underground, into secure facilities, safeguarding themselves in the event of nuclear holocaust. (6) According to Mr. Spiegel, Christiane Amanpour apparently has received $1 million from Muslim/Arab sources in return for her biased, drum-beat reportage on the Yugoslav crisis. Immediate confirmation of this report is not available at press time, but Mr. Spiegel says the alleged Amanpour payoff has previously been reported elsewhere, possibly by the Serb Unity Congress (www.suc.org) (7) Unconfirmed at press time: that the Federation of American Scientists has listed the KLA as a terrorist organization. (8) According to Mr. Spiegel, mainstream reports claiming a Serb policy of "ethnic cleansing" are "absurd." This was confirmed by a high ranking Serb official who, today, on CNN, emphatically denied any such genocidal policies. Yes, Kosovo terrorists and members of the KLA are being fought, but no civilians are or have been targeted. (9) Additional motivation for the NATO rain of terror may be connected with legal troubles being experienced by U.S. president Bill Clinton. Some reports (e.g. "Wall Street Underground") show that Clinton is on the verge of being indicted by a grand jury in Virginia. Sherman Skolnick notes that Susan McDougal, after her silence and later lack-of-pardon by Clinton, may now be exacting revenge, singing to a new grand jury, in retaliation. As the days roll on, the situation in Yugoslavia is bound to become more clear. The frenzy of events, especially the barrage of propaganda via the U.S. government and its toadies in the mass media, necessitates this preliminary report. -- CNNS (Conspiracy Nation News Service) is an INDEPENDENT news outlet, not owned by anyone.
