Srdja Trifkovic - Everything You Wanted To Know About Putin And Crimea
But Were Afraid To Ask, Part I [Transcript]
[...]
Mike Church: So Putin [...] is being made out to be the baddest of all
bad guys in the history of bad guys, but he seems to at least have a
firmer grasp on the history of these events than anyone in our country
does, don't you think?
Srdja Trifkovic: Absolutely. Also, let's face it, some of his policies
that are very vocally criticized in the Western world, for instance,
concerning the legislation of homosexuality, is certainly something that
would resonate with many American conservatives. In other words, he is
not persecuting the gays, far from that. He has introduced legislation
that bans propagation of gay lifestyle to minors. American parents who
are faced with what amounts to equalization of homosexual lifestyle with
heterosexual one would probably find it highly desirable. Likewise, in
the Western world, which is reverting to some kind of post-Christian
Godlessness, to insist on the Christian rooting of one's identity, as
Putin does, and giving the Russian Orthodox Church a special place in
society would also resonate with those of us who remember that the
founding fathers certainly found in the scriptures the inspiration to
such an extent that in fact in the Bill of Rights religious freedom
comes before the freedom of speech.
The attempt to legislate human rights in accordance with post-modern
criteria of the State is the problem. That means that if the State,
with its highly-volatile principles of what constitutes human rights,
steps in, then you have federal judges overturning the majority of
citizens of the most conservative states in the union. What we are
witnessing is in fact the denial of human rights for the silent majority
of those who subscribe to traditional moral code and traditional
lifestyles, in favor of highly-voluntaristic, post-modern concepts that
have nothing to do with the human rights traditionally understood.
Mike: Very well said. Now, Srdja, where are you calling us from today?
Trifkovic: From Belgrade. We arrived from Switzerland last night and
I'm leaving for Moscow and then Crimea on Friday, where I will be an
observer at the referendum on Sunday.
Mike: You say you're going to be an observer. I am, of course, joking
when I say, did the United Nations send you? Are you going to monitor?
Trifkovic: Well, in fact, the local government of Crimea has invited me
and a number of other foreigners who take an active interest in
Ukrainian and Russian and Crimean affairs because, of course, there will
be the standard cries of illegality from the United States when it comes
to the Crimean referendum, even though they didn't raise any such
heckles when Kosovo separated from Serbia, or for that matter when
various Soviet republics separated from the Soviet Union in 1991. We
are looking at the situation which is legally quite clear. The
Ukrainian Parliament acted illegally and unconstitutionally in
impeaching Yanukovych.

-Next Week at the Tribunal-
KARADZIC WILL CALL INTERESTING WITNESSES
[...] After [Gen. Dragomir] Milosevic completes his evidence, Karadzic
will call controversial Serbian-American historian Srdja Trifkovic.
Trifkovic used to be the unofficial spokesperson of the Pale leadership.
Trifkovic has already testified in the defense of Milomir Stakic and
Ljubisa Beara. It is interesting to note that at the Stakic trial, Judge
Schomburg distanced himself from 'religious intolerance' Dr Trifkovic
had demonstrated before the Tribunal. In Judge Schomburg's words, he
'will not attribute [Trifkovic's attitudes] to the accused'.

.................................
The witness's obsession with Islam is, in the prosecutor's view, another
issue important for the evaluation of his credibility and potential
bias. A series of Trifkovic's texts as well as audio and video
recordings of his public appearances were shown in court. In them
Trifkovic labeled Islam a 'psychosis' and called for the introduction of
measures that would not only prevent Muslims from moving to Western
countries but would result in their deportation to their countries of
origin. Trifkovic said that his words were taken out of context but
didn't deny or 'contextualize' them.
Srdja Trifkovic is the director of the Center for International Affairs
at the Rockford Institute, and has been portrayed in public as
'paleo-conservative' and racist.
