-Caveat Lector- KOSOVO DRUGS TARGET "CHRISTIAN INFIDELS" ======================================== "U.S. soldiers called upon to enforce a 'peace' accord that turns Kosovo over to the KLA might be interested to know that they are risking their lives on behalf of a criminal syndicate that for years has pumped heroin into the U.S. and threatened the lives of American law enforcement officials." [1] (CNNS, 03/25/99) -- New York City is the final destination of the Istanbul-Yugoslavia-New York heroin pipeline. Between 25 and 40 percent of the U.S. heroin supply travels this route. [2] Controlling the Yugoslav portion of this heroin pipeline is the Albanian mafia, itself hand-in-glove with the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA). The KLA is "an international drug-dealing mafia masquerading as an idealistic liberation army." [3] Narco dollars buy the guns which keep the "liberation army" going. Until recently, Agim Gashi, an ethnic Albanian from Kosovo, was Milan, Italy's foremost drug lord. He used his illegal drug profits to help the KLA purchase weapons. Italian police eavesdropped on one of Gashi's phone conversations, in which Gashi fervently declared his wish to "submerge Christian infidels in drugs." [4] For some unknown reason the U.S. has been quietly eager to intrude U.S. armed forces into the Kosovo region. But a fig leaf was needed, behind which to hide the true motive, before intervention could occur. According to a report by the U.S. Senate Republican Policy Committee (RPC), dated August 12, 1998, "planning for a U.S.-led NATO intervention in Kosovo is now largely in place... The only missing element seems to be an event -- with suitably vivid media coverage -- that would make the intervention politically salable..." [5] What was needed was a *causa belli*, a pretext for war, such as in the now infamous "Tonkin Gulf Incident." On August 4, 1964, President Lyndon Johnson gravely announced that U.S. destroyers had been attacked by the North Vietnamese in the Gulf of Tonkin. Widespread outrage propelled the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution through Congress and pushed us into the Vietnam War. Now, after 58,000 U.S. soldiers dead and $400 billion spent, it's becoming increasingly clear that the Tonkin Gulf Incident, as such, never happened! Writes Jonathan Kwitny in his book, "Endless Enemies": "What we know is entirely consistent with the possibility that the Tonkin Gulf Incident was a put-up job, designed to sucker the North Vietnamese into providing justification for a planned U.S. expansion of the war..." [6] Phase 2 of the Kosovo *causa belli* may be a staged event of Serb troops supposedly crossing over into Macedonia. Such a staged event would "excuse" NATO troops, now massed in Macedonia, for invading Kosovo. Phase 1 of the Kosovo *causa belli*, the needed fig leaf behind which to justify NATO air attacks, was the mid-January, 1999, supposed discovery of a massacre of ethnic Albanians. Yet here again, as in the Tonkin Gulf Incident, later analysis raises troubling questions. Asks the French newspaper, *Le Figaro*, "What really happened? During the night, could the [KLA] have gathered the bodies, in fact killed by Serb bullets, to set up a scene of cold-blooded massacre?" [7] Also expressing doubts on the believability of the so-called "Racak massacre" was *Le Monde* newspaper correspondent Christophe Chatelot: "Isn't the Racak massacre just too perfect?" [8] "When will they ever learn... When will they ever learn," sang Peter, Paul and Mary ("Where have all the flowers gone?"). When will *we* ever learn? When will we ever learn that politicians and mainstream reporters are not to be trusted? ---------------------------<< Notes >>--------------------------- [1] "Diving Into the Kosovo Quagmire," by William Norman Grigg.
