I received this from DU-Watch and I think it is worthwhile considering for
discussion or do you already have your mind made up? I don't and I found
the entire debacle very confusing and I believe it is intentionally so. I
think a careful study of the facts would show this bit of history just as
distorted as everything else we have been told in the mainstream media and
has become the accepted view and that is why I believe the information
herein below is important and may be something you want to discuss here or
elsewhere or at least to start your investigation .. Is anything
believeable anymore or is 80-90% of it a lie?
If only winners determine truth, then how
can anything ever be true?

Milosevic : 7 Troubling Questions

Milosevic and the Media : 7 Troubling Questions MICHEL COLLON
Why do they continue to hide these things from you:
LET HIM DIE!
+ It would be better if Milosevic died in the dock, because if the
trial ran its course he might be sentenced for only relatively minor
charges ;
James Gow, "an expert on war crimes" and supporter of The Hague
Tribunal, in an interview with Channel 4, 2004.
http://www.icdsm.org/more/Laughland1007.htm
KUSTURICA + I am a victim of a propaganda war ;, sang Emir Kusturica,
the famous filmmaker who was born in Sarajevo, with his rock group.
His film Life Is a Miracle ridicules Western media coverage on
Bosnia. But even in his interviews, he also made people understand
that it was impossible to tell the truth.
PINTER Harold Pinter, Nobel Prize in Literature 2005 :
+ The US/NATO court trying Slobodan Milosevic was always totally
illegitimate. It could never be taken seriously as a court of
justice. Milosevic's defense is powerful, convincing, persuasive
and impossible to dismiss. ;
SERBIAN CRIMES + Gen. Farkas said that when Milosevic learned of
crimes committed by reserve policemen who had associated with
Slobodan Medic "Boca," he became extremely angry. He demanded an
explanation of how the Skorpions commander could have been active
in Kosovo, then he demanded that the perpetrators be prosecuted and
that nothing like that be permitted to happen in the future. ;
General Farkas, chief of the Security Dept. of the Yugoslav Army
in 1999, testimony given in The Hague.
MITTERRAND - SARAJEVO + Mr. Boutros Ghali advised me a few days ago
that the projectile that struck the Markale market place in Sarajevo
was an act of provocation by the Bosnian Muslims. ;

BEN LADEN AND IZETBEGOVIC "In November 1994, while she was waiting
in Izetbegovic's foyer both she, and a journalist from Der Speigel,
saw Osama bin Laden being escorted into Izetbegovic's office. Yes
*that* Osama bin Laden -- the same Osama bin Laden who masterminded
the 9/11 terrorist attacks."
Eve-Ann Prentice, journalist writing for the Guardian and the Times
(UK), Balkans specialist. Judge Robinson immediately cut off her
testimony, and declared it to be "irrelevant".

OPERATION HORSE SHOE :
Scharping, German Defense Minister, 1999 "(We fear that) a slackening
of support by the media, warnings of a reversal of public opinion
in favor of a halt to Nato's bombing campaign and a return to
negotiations. It is a catastrophe that my colleague Joshka Fischer
would like to avoid at all cost."
It was time to announce a new sensational news story : for several
days they had been preparing written proof that Milosevic had planned
for the spring a vast crime against humanity in Kosovo, providing
a posteriori justification for preventive intervention by the
Bundeswehr. +We finally have the proof that plans for the systematic
expulsion and ethnic cleansing of Kosovo Albanians have been in
place since December 1998, detailed proof that names all the Yugoslav
units that were going to participate in it. The analysis provides
a clear image of what was going to happen. I decided that Operation
Horseshoe should be made public;.
Two years later, on February 8, 2001, the ARD network broadcast an
exclusive documentary : + In the Beginning Was the Lie ;. That
night, one million German television viewers were stupefied to learn
that what a few well informed people had known all along : the Serbs
never had a plan called Operation Horse Shoe, and that the massacres
had been completely fabricated. They also heard the former NATO
spokesman during the Kosovo War, the Briton Jamie Shea, address a
stirring (but heavily compromising) homage for the eminent contribution
made by German leaders : + Not only Minister Scharping, but also
Chancellor Schrvder and Minister Fischer were a grandiose example
of political leaders who did not align themselves with public opinion
but who know how to shape it. Despite the troublesome collateral
damage and despite the length of the bombardments, they knew how
to stay the course. If we had lost the support of German public
opinion, we also would have lost that of our partners. ;.
++++++++++
Here are just a few of many examples of media lies.
Crimes had been committed by all three sides during the civil war.
Milosevic can be reproached for certain things. But the important
thing here is not what the media says. It's what the media doesn't
say.
If you think that the media brought manipulated reports on Iraq,
Israel, Vietnam, and several other wars, but that Yugoslavia was
an exception, and that in this case they told you the truth without
any manipulation, then don't bother looking any further, and sleep
well !
On the other hand, if you have noticed that each war waged by the
Great Powers has always been accompanied by war propaganda and
disinformation, then, find out what they have been hiding from you.
Try to formulate your own opinion, without taboos.
Of course, do not believe us just like that. Why not ask to your
favorite journalist if he knows about this, and if he will inform
his audience ?
MICHEL COLLON March 12, 2006
You can find numerous facts that have been concealed with the search
engine on my site (only in French up to now) :
http://www.michelcollon.info
BOOKS AND FILMS - Liar's Poker : The Great Powers, Yugoslavia and
the Wars of the Future.
Of course, I have been censured and calumnied for having shown that
the media manipulated us during this war. But the late Paul-Marie
de la Gorce, a columnist with Monde Diplomatique and one of the
outstanding experts in the U.S.A.'s secret strategies in the Balkans,
rated this as one of the three best books that appeared in 1998.
Gilles Perrault, Jean Ziegler, Samir Amin and plenty of others
thought the same and they welcomed the research. But a one-way media
has made all of this vanish by sleight of hand.

Conquest.
