Weber, who is very knowledgeable on what has and >is happening in Kosovo, e-mailed me a question: > > >In your February 8, 2000 article entitled "Is It Democracy or Anarchy that >Clinton and Blair Demand in Europe? America Found About KLA the Hard >Way >in Kosovo" you end with the powerful paragraph: "Increasingly, it appears, >if voters in other countries don't vote the way the White House wants them >to vote, they are treated as enemies and either isolated, sanctioned or >bombed. And where does that lead? Quite often to the kind of anarchy that >now exists in Kosovo." My only question is: will this become domestic >policy? I would write myself off as paranoid, however I have several >friends in the mental health profession who insist that I am NOT suffering >from that particular neurosis. > >My sister Roberta has a little saying about paranoia. "If someone really >IS out to get you, you are not being paranoid for thinking someone is out >to get you." We have this huge organization called the Central >Intelligence Agency which has a budget of nearly $27 billion. We don't >know how many people are employed there, nor do we know much about what >the people there do. It's a secret. Would the CIA do things that might >lead to anarchy in other countries, like assassinating people elected >leaders of other nations, for instance? Would any NATO country do such a >thing, do you suppose? > >Well, spying and spies may be changing since the fall of the Soviet Union, >since the reason for the very existence of the CIA, which was created in >1947 with the signing of the National Security Act by President Truman, >was to coordinate the nation's intelligence activities. It was primarily >concerned with the threat of Communism and the Soviet Union. For the last >decade, of course, it has had to find other goals to justify the >expenditure of that $27 billion. The British intelligence agency has had >much the same problem. > >What appears to have happened is an expansion of intelligence activity in >all kinds of areas and some of those areas have really bothered some of >the spies working in the agencies. Richard Tomlinson, a former British >Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) agent who had tried to tell the people >of Great Britain what some of their money was being used for. In 1998 he >said, in part, in an affidavit which was posted on the Internet to the >horror of the intelligence community: >(http://www.anaserve.com/~wethepeople/tomlin3.htm) > > >In 1992, as the civil war in the former Yugoslavia became increasingly >topical, I started to work primarily on operations in Serbia. During this >time, I became acquainted with Dr Nicholas Bernard Frank FISHWICK, born >1958, the MI6 officer who at the time was in charge of planning Balkan >operations. During one meeting with Dr Fishwick, he casually showed to me >a three-page document that on closer inspection turned out to be an >outline plan to assassinate the Serbian leader President Slobodan >Milosevic. The plan was fully typed, and attached to a yellow "minute >board", signifying that this was a formal and accountable document. It >will therefore still be in existence. Tomlinson named names, dates and >places and added: "This plan contained a political justification for the >assassination of Milosevic, followed by three outline proposals on how to >achieve this objective." Last week the latest in a series of >assassinations or near assassinations took place in Belgrade when the >federal minister of defense Pavle Bulatovic was gunned down by someone who >was able to "shoot with precision with an automatic rifle." The Bulatovic >assassination came only three weeks after the murder in similar style of >Zeljko Raznatovic, a militia leader and Milosovic supporter known as Arkan >in the lobby of Belgrade's plush Intercontinental Hotel. In early October, >on a lonely road south of Belgrade, a truck loaded with sand plowed into a >convoy carrying Serbian opposition leader Vuk Draskovic and four others to >a Sunday picnic. Only Draskovic survived. Draskovic supported Milosevic >throughout the bombing and was critical of other minority party leaders >for taking money offered to Milosevic opponents. > >Of course, the spin put on all these assassinations and assassination >attempts is that they are all Milosevic's fault. For some reason we are >all supposed to believe that Milosevic would hire assassins to kill his >supporters and cabinet officers in highly public mafia style executions. > >Would our beloved CIA do such dastardly deeds? Well, apparently even the >New York Times has its suspicions. In a front page story yesterday, >entitled, "U.S. Victims of Chile's Coup: The Uncensored File" the Times >reports that documents recently declassified by Clinton "make clear for >the first time that the State Department concluded from almost the >beginning that the Pinochet government had killed the men, Charles Horman, >31, and Frank Teruggi, 24." Horman and Teruggi were Americans who >supported the socialist government of Salvador Allende. Those documents >indicate that the CIA and the Pentagon of collaborated with General >Augusto Pinochet, who is now being accused of human rights violations, to >get the two men killed. > >The Times reported: "U.S. intelligence may have played an unfortunate part >in Horman's death," said one newly declassified memo. "At best, it was >limited to providing or confirming information that helped motivate his >murder by the government of Chile. At worst, U.S. intelligence was aware >the government of Chile saw Horman in a rather serious light and U.S. >officials did nothing to discourage the logical outcome of government of >Chile paranoia." In 1980 the Government was forced to release these >documents through the Freedom of Information Act. However, they were >heavily censored in black ink, and appeared to clear the American and >Chilean governments of any responsibility. Now that Clinton has released >the total document, it is increasingly apparent that the CIA was involved >in helping the Pinochet regime find the Americans, who were summarily >executed by Pinochet's uniformed troops. > >On April 23, 1999 when three laser-guided bombs landed in Milosevic's >bedroom, living room and dining room, the Serbs called it an >"assassination attempt." Kenneth Bacon, Pentagon spokesman, when asked if >the bombing of Milosevic's home was an assassination attempt, said that >assassination of foreign leaders was not "US policy." > >I wrote in an analysis of the event >(http://www.originalsources.com/OS4-99MQC/4-23-1999.1.html), "Of course, >the reporter didn't ask what US policy is. He asked if the purpose of >bombing Milosevic's home was to kill him. Bacon didn't answer that >question. However, it is doubtful that the decision was made to bomb >Milosevic's bedroom and living room to improve his health." > >So, to answer T.V.'s question, do I think Bill Clinton and Tony Blair are >capable of adopting a policy which is DESIGNED to create anarchy in other >countries? Yes. They are. I don't know if it is through sheer stupidity or >by design, but it sure is obvious to me that Clinton's expressed >determination to "get rid" of Slobodon Milosevic has simply moved from >bombing his bedroom in April of 1999 to trying to create fear, distrust >and internal wars among the Serbs who haven't figured it out yet. > >To comment: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >Secretary General >Mrs. Jela Jovanovic >Art historian >=========================== > __________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
