-Caveat Lector- CRIME GANGS BARED BY POLITICAL ANTHROPOLOGY =========================================== (CNNS, 04/18/99) -- Noam Chomsky, a professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, compares USA-led NATO actions in Yugoslavia to a Mafia-like protection racket. Are USA's stated "humanitarian concerns" dubious? Chomsky responds: "If a Mafia don who runs the local branch of Murder Inc. shows some kindness to children, the humanitarian concerns don't rise to the level of 'dubious' -- and that's even more so if he shows his humanitarian concerns by kicking the kid in the face." [1] Chomsky says "credibility of NATO" is "Newspeak", comparing it to the "rep" (reputation) of a Mafia "family." "If someone doesn't pay protection money, the don has to establish 'credibility,' to make sure others don't get funny ideas about disobeying orders. So what Clinton, et al., are saying is that it's necessary to ensure that everyone has proper fear of the global enforcer," writes Professor Chomsky. [2] In other words, USA fears to be seen as a "paper tiger." Our other colonies might get funny ideas about paying up their protection money were that to happen. Continuing the Mafia analogy, Don Feder, writing in The Boston Herald, sees U.S. Secretary of State Madeline Albright as a high-ranking gangster: "Doing a bad imitation of Vito Corleone at Rambouillet, Albright told the Serbs she would have either their signatures or their brains on the peace accord." [3] Albright made the Serbs "an offer they can't refuse." But then the Serbs "dissed" (disrespected) *consigliere* Albright and now the Washington "family" is breaking legs. One of the Washington "button men" (killers) playfully scrawls little messages on his bombs. He writes: "Bad times. Isn't it lovely. See you guys. I'm going home, Eric N., Italy." (The serial number of that particular bomb: 30003 70 4 AS 4829 MFP 96214) "The bomb wounded farmer Slobodan Djordjevic and his sixteen-year-old daughter, who received major skull fractures and is in critical condition at the Neurosurgery Clinic of Nis." [4] The mobsters in Washington have hired extra "muscle" for their vendetta. Mob boss of bosses Bill Clinton has had a "sit down" with rival mobster Osama bin Laden. "Don" bin Laden has agreed to assist "Don" Clinton, in return for a piece of the action. American planes fly new recruits of the Kosovo Liberation Army "into Albania and Macedonia and wherefrom they are being deployed on the territory of Yugoslavia..." [5] CNN, the Criminal News Network, helps spread the word: KLA is hiring. Part of the loot which the two crime families will divvy up between them (unless the Washington crime family double-crosses the bin Laden/KLA crime family) includes the fabulous Stari (Trg) mine (gold, silver, zinc, cadmium, lead). Kosovo also has 17 billion tons of coal reserves. [6] Section 112 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (26 U.S.C. 112), according to a White House "Executive Order" dated April 13, 1999, supposedly legalizes the Balkan shoot-em-up. [7] But former mob enforcer Michael Milan would be skeptical: "I'll tell you something about law and what it means to be inside of it and outside of it. I was both at the same time and you couldn't tell one from the other. Know why? Because law is made by lawyers for lawyers. It ain't made for people. When you wanna take something that's outside the law and bring it inside the law, you simply change the law." [8] And sneak in the change, hidden deeply within the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. ---------------------------<< Notes >>--------------------------- [1] "Noam Chomsky Replies re Kosovo."
