CRIMES OF FASCISM,
CRIMES OF SILENCE
The Myth of Albanian Revenge

Introduction
There are three positions on Serbian government military action
during the 78 day bombing of Yugoslavia.
Position one: Serbian armed forces engaged in genocide on
a vast scale; the NATO/KLA forces were right and the
Yugoslav government was wrong.
Position two: Serbian forces were bad but not as bad as
Position One suggests; there was right and wrong on both
sides.
And Position three: there is no evidence that Serbian forces
committed atrocities. Moreover the Serbs were fighting a just
war; they were and remain right.
POSITION 1: NATO ARGUES GENOCIDE
Position One includes a broad spectrum of NATO leaders,
political parties and various intellectuals. In Europe, most of the
Social Democrat leaders and many of the conservative ones, in the
US, Clinton as well as Dole plus many supposed intellectuals, such as
Christopher Hitchens from The Nation, Todd Gitlin who writes for
Mother Jones, and Elie Wiesel, the Holocaust celebrity. The list is
incomplete, to be sure, but you get the idea: a diverse group with
enthusiastic support for NATO as the organizing principle.
Position One justified bombing Yugoslavia by arguing it was
necessary to stop a modern-day Holocaust:
"Mr. Clinton tried to paint a compelling portrait of the
atrocities inside Kosovo, evoking images of Hitler's slaughter
of the Jews".(1)
We were told that perhaps hundreds of thousands of Albanians
were being butchered. (How bombing would halt this alleged
slaughter was unclear but that didn't matter; the idea here was really
punishment not prevention.) NATO and the media continued making
these Holocaust claims after the bombing stopped. Here's an
example from Canadian TV:
OFF Camera [i.e. Narrator]: Skender Murati would not
protest if all the Serbs left. He doesn't care if it now
appears the Albanians are no better than the Serbs. He's
gone through too much.
OFF: Do you think it's possible that you could ever live
with Serbs again?
SKENDER MURATI (Translated): For me, life with
Serbs has ended, no matter what happens in the future.
There is no life with a Serb anymore ...when you take
into account that hundreds of thousands of people are
dead. [Our emphasis. From THE NATIONAL
MAGAZINE, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC
TV) September 27, 1999]
Note the technique used here. The Narrator, that is, the Voice
of Anonymous Authority, says: "He [the Albanian gentleman]
doesnt care if it now appears the Albanians are no better than the
Serbs."
The Narrator offers no evidence that the Serbs are bad; he
merely reminds his viewers of what they have been told in countless
earlier broadcasts: Serbs provide the standard against which other
evils are to be measured.
Thus, no matter how "bad" the Albanians are they can only play
catch-up with the Serbs.
The Narrator uses a similar method to characterize Mr.
Murati's attitude: this Albanian has "gone through too much" to
worry about what outsiders think of Albanians. The Narrator
mentions Mr. Muratti's suffering in passing, thereby communicating
that said suffering is beyond question: of course he suffered. Didn't
all Albanians suffer at Serbian hands?
The possibility that Mr. Muratti's "pain" may be a Public
Relations lie invented to build support for the Kosovo Liberation
Army and against the Serbs is beneath consideration.
In this way Mr. Muratti's remarks are validated in advance
and we are set-up for the slam-dunk: Mr. Murati refers in passing to
"hundreds of thousands of dead." No evidence is presented for this
crazy claim; that because there IS no evidence. But by dint of clever
writing and because viewers have been subjected to so much
anti-Serbian baloney in the past that they have trouble thinking
straight, the "hundreds of thousands" figure is swallowed, whole.
This particular show was aired Sept. 27th. By then a miracle
had occurred, at that time still unnoticed by the Western Media. A
group of Spanish forensic scientists had held a press conference
where they said: NATO lied. We were sent to Kosovo, they said. We
were told we'd be doing autopsies on 2000 victims of Serbian
genocide. It was all lies.
It was all lies! May those Spanish forensic experts and
policemen live long, happy lives. The rulers of our planet do not
figure on moral courage. (For the full translation of the Spanish
Forensic scientists' report, and a commentary, see note #21 at the
end.)
The Spanish experts' press conference was picked up by one
magazine, El Pais. Emperors-clothes.com had the El Pais piece
translated. We and others, and then many thousands of others,
plastered it all over this last vestige of democracy, the Internet.
Various Websites and then newspapers picked it up. An ember
of intellectual honesty flared: some newspapers actually began
subjecting NATO's mass-murder claims to the awkwardness of
scrutiny. Serb-baiters like Richard Gwyn turned fickle and
commented that with NATO's claims of Serbian mass murder
obviously false, there was a real possibility that the genocide
justification "may have been a grotesque lie concocted to justify a
war." (Toronto Star, 11/4/99) Who would have thought it was
possible?
Damage control was called for. The so-called "War Crimes"
Tribunal threw together a progress report on the Great Kosovo
Cadaver Hunt. The statement was delivered by Chief Prosecutor
Carla del Ponte herself.
Del Ponte avoided the matter of the Spanish experts.
Instead she dwelt on Numbers. In 6 months, said del Ponte, her
battalion of forensic experts had found 2108 bodies.
An exhaustive analysis published by Emperors-Clothes proves
that there's no reason to believe that any of the alleged 2108 are
victims of alleged Serbian terror. It's not even clear that most are
Albanians, and those who are may have died from natural causes or
been killed by NATO bombs or by the KLA, which has always
targeted uncooperative Albanians, and so on. (See note #22 at the
end.)
This complication - i.e., no evidence - has produced psychosis
in the NATO camp. On the one hand, the loyal media ploughs
forward like a brain-dead elephant, explaining away Albanian attacks
on Serbs as "revenge for Serbian atrocities". But why revenge?
Revenge for what? There were no massacres.
Meanwhile, NATO leaders are scrambling for the high ground.
This has been attempted with most spectacular gracelessness by
Assistant Secretary of Defense Kenneth Bacon, who claimed in a
November 16 letter to the NY Times that boss William Cohen had
never said huge numbers of Albanians were killed by Serbs. Huh?
(Unfortunately for Bacon it is possible to retrieve the text of
previous statements from the Internet. See note # 23 at the end)
Some NATO apologist even argued that numbers don't really
matter: one dead Albanian is as bad as 100,000. Huh? Do these
people read their scripts before they speak?
Down but not out
So Position One has had its foundation knocked out from
under; it is now an argument suspended in thin air. Sorry buddy, no
bodies, no genocide.
But does this mean, as some good souls have suggested, that
NATO is kaput? Alas, no. NATO does not need overwhelming public
support to continue its war of decimation against Yugoslavia. It
merely needs public silence, lack of action. It is only necessary that
the public have MIXED FEELINGS so that it does not
VIGOROUSLY OPPOSE NATO's attempt to destroy Yugoslavia.
Which brings us to Position Two.
Damned with Faint Hate
According to Position Two, Serbian forces did commit
atrocities, but not on the scale NATO has claimed. Moreover,
Position Two people argue, these atrocities increased when NATO
started bombing. Thus they manage to criticize the bombing while
more or less supporting the rationale used to justify the bombing.
They are virtually silent about the massive terror campaign against
Serbs, "Gypsies" and others which is going on, as you read this
article.
Position Two says the Serbs are pretty bad but NATO has
only made matters worse. This may seem quite "reasonable" at first
glance, quite "factual". Actually the folks who expound Position Two
have yet to present any factual evidence to support their claims of
"moderate Serbian atrocities." This is most strikingly absent in the
case of Noam Chomsky who uses his prestige to affirm Position Two
without benefit of fact.
Position Two relies for support on - POSITION. As in chess
and real estate, in politics location is key. Position Two people have
located themselves in the center of the board: they are "moderate
peace-lovers".
This is very attractive to many good folks . On the one hand,
many people hated the bombing and Position Two says NATO should
not have bombed Yugoslavia. And when NATO again bombs
Yugoslavia this Spring, Position Two folks will again disapprove.
At the same time, many people have been deeply affected by
the hate-Serbs campaign in the mass media. How could they not be
affected? Is it surprising that some people want to believe that the
Serbs did something bad? After all, if the Serbs did nothing wrong,
what are the implications? Not only did the West "over-react" to a
"minor conflict" (as Position Two argues.) No, it's much worse than
that. If the Serbs are right, then our entire media was involved in
promulgating lies on an unprecedented scale. And, worse yet, the
holders of Position Two would themselves be in trouble. They have
parroted Position One charges against the Serbian government.
They have failed to lift a finger against the on-going destruction of
the Serbian people. They backed fascist leaders in Bosnia, calling
them "democrats". They ludicrously mis-portrayed the ethnic
Albanians as an oppressed group in Kosovo. If all this was lies - if
the reality is anti-Serbian genocide - then these Position Two people
have a lot of explaining to do.
In the U.S. Position # 2 is held by Noam Chomsky. (This
may shock many people but it is the truth. Chomsky refused to
speak out when 250,000 Serbs were driven from the Krajina section
of Croatia, with thousands slaughtered. He has accepted much of the
media's Serb baiting. Because of his reputation he has given Position
Two much credibility on the left.) Other "left wing" advocates of
Position Two are Howard Zinn, the owners of the Z-magazine
Website and some other so-called "peace people." On the Right we
have elements of the Serbian Orthodox Church and some
anti-Milosevich Serbs living outside Serbia, especially in the US. We
also have Fr. Sava and Bishop Artemije, two much-quoted Church
leaders from Kosovo. Also elements of the Serbian "Democratic"
opposition (including the leaders of the Alliance for Change and Vuk
Draskovic). Position Two is also held by many non-governmental (or
should we say VERY governmental?) organizations, or NGOs -
including Amnesty International and most of the Helsinki groups,
with the notable and (I would say) heroic exception of the British
Helsinki group.
All these people use their positions (as Serbs, as Churchmen or
as legendary Peace advocates) to protect themselves from criticism.
They provide a modified diet of anti-Serbism for every political
persuasion.
Position Two has great importance. While it is insufficient on
its own to justify the US agenda, which calls for the further (read:
COMPLETE) starvation and decimation of Serbia, it is QUITE
sufficient to weaken the opposition to that decimation: it damns the
Serbs with mild scorn and thereby undermines opposition to NATO.
Who is going to get excited about NATO attacks on people who are
led by Fascists?
People evaluating a political argument tend to Split the
Difference. So in this case.
The two extremes being offered here are: A )NATO's position,
which portrays the Serbs as outright monsters. And B) Position Two
which includes Chomsky/Zinn-types, viewed as
ideologically-committed peaceniks, and Serbian leaders, viewed as
being "pro-Serb".
People look for the truth between these "extremes" - that is,
between the extreme attack on the Serbs made by NATO and the
less extreme attack made by Position Two.
Oh my.
After listening to this "debate" and now comforted at having
arrived safely at a middling conclusion, our ordinary American can
go back to the mass media which is guaranteed to administer some
anti-Serbian lie(s) at any time, day or night.
A FLIGHT OF FANCY
Imagine that the Serbs were Jews. Does this sound far-fetched? I
believe it's apt. First of all, after the Jews, the Serbs suffered the
worst slaughter at the hands of World War II Nazi's and the Nazi
proxy groups in Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo. You see, when Hitler's
troops invaded Yugoslavia the Serbian people, and both political
factions among the Serbs (the royalist Chetniks and the communist
Partisans) refused to round up the Jews. This convinced Mr. Hitler
that the Serbs had low culture and he supported plans for their
extermination, in Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Kosovo. Moving
to the present, there are now over a million refugees in Serbia, about
10% of the population. The entire Serbian population has been
driven from the two main Serbian ancestral areas (the Krajina
section of what is now Croatia, and also from Kosovo). Literally tens
of thousands have been slaughtered. Serbs who remain in Kosovo, in
towns such as Orahovac, are literally imprisoned in Warsaw
Ghetto-type situations. And Serbs have been subjected to vicious
and largely unanswered attacks in the media for ten years. This
includes special issues of magazines and other reading material used
in elementary schools throughout the US, so that Serbian-Americans
can be tormented even before they get to be full-blown, grown-up
monster Serbs. Doesn't all this resemble the treatment given the
Jews in Eastern Europe during WWII? It does to THIS Jew.
By way of illustration
Anyway, even if you disapprove my Serbian-Jewish
comparison, please stay with it for a moment. Let the imagination
soar. Imagine: it is World War II. Some Jews and some Gentile
"defenders" of the Jews are putting forward Position Two, you know,
helping out the way Prof. Chomsky, Z Website, Fr. Sava and the
others do today. They are arguing that sure, maybe some Jews do
grind up Gentile kids for Matzo - but not ALL Jews. Hitler is greatly
exaggerating. And even if the Jews do sometimes grind up a Gentile
baby or two, is this a valid reason to butcher all Jews? No way.
Moreover, the whole thing is the fault of certain authoritarian Jewish
leaders who have organized the gentile-grinding groups so stop
blaming the whole Jewish religion for the crimes of these
authoritarian rulers! By attacking all the Jews, you just make the
authoritarian Jews more powerful. Instead, Mr. Hitler should help
the anti-grinding Jews take over and before you know it
Gentile-grinding will be a thing of memory.
Imagine now that an anti-Auschwitz organizer is speaking to a group
of Gentiles. The minute the organizer brings up the issue of the Jews,
the thought of MEAT GRINDERS comes quite involuntarily to the
Gentile mind. The gentiles quietly turn green and they think: we sure
don't want to see anybody get gassed, but dear God those Jews are
some AWFUL people.
This in fact is similar to what really happened in World War II.
Anti-Semitism was so pervasive that many people who would not
have themselves advocated gassing six million human beings were
hesitant to come to their defense. They therefore did nothing. That
was all the murderers needed.
THE SERBIAN PEOPLE - AND GOVERNMENT -
DESERVE OUR SUPPORT
That's the Third Position. It is held by many in the American
peace movement, by almost all Serbs in Serbia, by most people in the
European peace movement, probably by most people in most other
countries, by perhaps MOST Serbs living outside Serbia including in
the U.S. and by Emperors-Clothes.com. And by me.
According to Position 3: the moral equivalency of Position
Two is profoundly wrong. The Serbian "regime" (as Position Two
people like to call the elected government that runs Serbia) had and
has a perfect right to GO TO WAR to defend its territory -
KOSOVO and the rest of SERBIA. If it has made mistakes these
are mistakes that were made IN A JUST CAUSE. The Albanian
minority is not and never was an oppressed group.
Serbia is in the position of the North during the American Civil
War. The North had the right to fight when the Southern states tried
to secede. Moreover, whereas the Southern secessionists were a
real internal force, the Albanian secessionists would not have existed
for a minute without the massive involvement of the United States
government, starting as far back as 1985. This is an externally
created and manipulated "insurrection" and always was - though as
we will see it has a profound base of support because of racism.
By VIRTUE OF SOVEREINTY the Serbian government is right
in this conflict and the US and Germany are dead wrong - period.
Apart from this point - i.e., that one side is completely right and the
other side is completely wrong - in addition, we have seen NO
BELEIVABLE evidence of Serbian government-sanctioned
atrocities in Kosovo. Some may have occurred. But why should we
accept this possibility as fact without conclusive evidence?
The Serbian government has said that during the bombing,
some self-proclaimed Serbian (and non-Serbian) criminals took
advantage of the chaos to pillage and settle old scores. The Serbian
government says it arrested several hundred such people. (See Note
#24 at end.)
Obviously that doesn't constitute government-sponsored war
crimes. And remember, NATO has had forensic experts digging up
Kosovo for six months and they have produced ZERO evidence of
Serbian government war crimes. (Again, see note #22 at end)
AMAZING RESTRAINT
This point - that there is no evidence of Serbian troops
attacking Albanian civilians - is really quite amazing. Imagine that in
some part of the US some minority was in the majority. Imagine that
19 countries, with 97 times the population of the US had ganged up
and were slamming America day and night with massive firepower
against which the US was helpless. Imagine that schools, bridges,
factories, refineries, chemical plants and so on - even the White
House - were bombed. Imagine that automobile factories were
bombed with the workers in them. Imagine that at the same time,
there was an army, within the US, comprised of members of the
rebellious minority, which was using all-out terror to crush the US
Army and slaughter American citizens, including those minority
members who were loyal to the US as a nation.
Would the US army show restraint? Or would we see a
horrendous slaughter? Just recall what happened in Seattle, where
there was NO real provocation, and imagine what might be expected
in the US or other Western countries, were they to be terrorized as
the Serbs have been terrorized by NATO and the KLA.
Position Two: Bankrupt
There is simply no hard evidence to support Position Two (that
the Serbs are somewhat guilty). Nevertheless Position Two derives
strength from an important source: the mass media.
Even though Position Two people sometimes criticize the
media for demonizing Serbs, nevertheless they rely on the
demonizers. Anti-Serb attacks have been so pervasive they are now
a habit of thought which many decent folks hesitate to shed; as
evidence comes forward to discredit Position One (that the Serbs are
totally guilty) people are naturally drawn to Position Two (that the
Serbs are partially guilty.)
A friend tells of an incident which illustrates the holding power
of the demonization campaign. Chatting with a colleague, he pointed
out that the recent "War Crimes" Tribunal report in essence HAS
CONCEDED that there was no mass killing of Albanians in Kosovo.
The colleague listened politely and then commented: "That's all well
and good. But it in no way excuses the Serbs for killing all those tens
of thousands of Albanians."
As I have said, the factual basis for Position One is gone,
vanished. Since Position Two is just Position One watered down - that
is, Position Two relies on the impressions people have gotten from
the mass media - Position Two has lost its factual basis as well.
But they do have something.
That something is: the REVENGE argument. It goes like
this: if in fact the Serbs did NOT persecute Albanians and commit
lots of atrocities before the bombing, and if this persecution and
slaughter did NOT increase during the bombing, then why are
Albanians doing these terrible things to Serbs?
Before we answer this, let us look at how the ALBANIAN
REVENGE argument evolved.
ON THE FIRST DAY THERE WAS THE TRUTH
As you may or may not recall, NATO did NOT initially cite
Serbian atrocities as the reason for bombing Yugoslavia.
No sir. Initially the reasons were quite straightforwardly
geopolitical. Here is top Clinton adviser Sandy Berger answering
questions the day after the bombing began:
Q Would you say that Milosevic's assault on Kosovo has
accelerated because of the NATO air strikes?
MR. BERGER: I think it has increased somewhat over
the past day... There has been a pattern over the past
several days of localized, but intense fighting, and I think
that pattern has...somewhat increased.
Q The President, pressed today on whether Milosevic
must come to the negotiating table, as a precondition for
the bombing to end, and Mr. Clinton replied, "he knows
what he has to do." Can you enlighten the rest of us [as
to what Milosevich has to do to get us to stop bombing
Yugoslavia?]
MR. BERGER: [We will stop bombing if] Mr. Milosevic
embraces peace, and that means ending the fighting in
Kosovo and it means a peace agreement within the
framework of Rambouillet...(our emphasis, White House
Press Conference 3-25-99)
Initial opposition
When the bombing began, Western public opinion was initially
overwhelmingly against it. I spent a lot of time arguing on the AOL
"Kosovo Discussion Boards" and at that time it was hard to find a
non-Albanian who supported the bombing.
The Western elite was uncomfortable with Berger's
explanation. It wasn't emotionally charged - who could get mad at
Yugoslavia for refusing to sign an agreement? Moreover, by making
it clear Rambouillet was the issue, NATO risked having people read
the "Agreement," particularly Appendix B, the part the US added at
the last minute and which caused Milosevich's government not to
sign.
Here is a brief excerpt from Appendix B, so you can see what
the powers that be did NOT want people to read:
"6. a.[Throughout Yugoslavia] NATO shall be immune
from all legal process, whether civil, administrative, or
criminal.[and from Yugoslavian] jurisdiction in respect
of any civil, administrative, criminal, or disciplinary
offenses which may be committed by them in the FRY.
"7. NATO personnel shall be immune from any form of
arrest, investigation, or detention by the authorities in
the FRY. NATO personnel erroneously arrested or
detained shall immediately be turned over to NATO
authorities.
"8. NATO personnel shall enjoy, together with their
vehicles, vessels, aircraft, and equipment, free and
unrestricted passage and unimpeded access throughout
the FRY including associated airspace and territorial
waters. This shall include, but not be limited to, the right
of bivouac, maneuver, billet, and utilization of any areas
or facilities as required for support, training, and
operations.
"9. NATO shall be exempt from duties, taxes, and other
charges and inspections and custom regulations including
providing inventories or other routine customs
documentation, for personnel, vehicles, vessels, aircraft,
equipment, supplies, and provisions entering, exiting, or
transiting the territory of the FRY in support of the
Operation."
As you can see, Rambouillet was an "Agreement" for the
complete takeover of Yugoslavia by NATO. It gave NAT0
extra-territorial rights, like something out of 19th century
Imperialism. How could Milosevich sign? He would be giving away
the country.
(For the full text of the Rambouillet "Agreement" see note #25 at
the end. I put "Agreement" in quotes because Rambouillet was
negotiated with a gun to the Yugoslav head: accept or be bombed.
Incidentally, by international law, no agreement extracted through
force or threat of force is binding.)
In any event, it was clear that Yugoslavia was not going to
capitulate quickly. Some new justification had to be presented,
something that would get around the obvious illegality of the
bombing. The answer: charge Milosevich with Genocide.
So from mid-April on we were drowned in a deluge of
newspaper articles and TV photo-ops aimed at proving Kosovo was a
new Holocaust.
Since the war, much evidence has come out indicating that
these anecdotal accounts were staged. Reporters have admitted that
their sources lied. The KLA has been caught in possession of
Serbian police uniforms, supporting the suspicion that KLA people
masqueraded as Serbian police and carried out atrocities to discredit
the Yugoslav government. ( See note #26 at the end)
IMAGINARY MASS MURDER AND
IMAGINARY "REVENGE"
In June the Yugoslavs signed a peace agreement and NATO
marched into Kosovo, side by side with the Kosovo Liberation Army
(KLA).
Then began a reign of terror against non-Albanians and
Albanians who oppose the KLA. Hundreds of thousands of people
have been driven out of Kosovo. In essence, NATO has taken over
Kosovo and given it to the KLA. The KLA, which never won a battle,
could hardly have seized this prize on its own. (For an interview with
a Jewish leader driven from Kosovo, including a detailed description
of how NATO and Albanian thugs worked together, see Note # 28 at
the end.)
The Western Press hasn't said much about the murderous terror
against Serbs, "Gypsies" Jews and other Kosovo minorities. There
is nothing like the coverage accorded the IMAGINARY terror
against Albanians. But the anti-Serbian campaign is reported. Here's
an example, from the TV show mentioned earlier:
"Many Serbs have been abducted. Others are murdered. It's
the same for all minorities in Kosovo now. The criminals are
rarely arrested unless caught in the act. There is no
functioning legal system here."
NATO leaders do not deny there is widespread terror against
Serbs. They express regrets but argue there is little they can do.
Why is there not a great outcry against these horrendous
abuses? Why don't people rise up against NATO for its complete
failure to practice what it preaches: the prevention of racist terror.
The reason is two fold. First, the massively publicized stories
about so-called Serbian atrocities have weakened people's
sensitivity to the real atrocities going on now. As the saying goes,
what goes around comes around, so if the Serbs really did those bad
things in the past why should anyone be surprised that they're
getting attacked now?
The second reason is more important. That has to do with
Position Two. The leaders who hold position two, who have been so
critical of the Serbian government for supposedly condoning
atrocities - even though the Position Two leaders have to date
produced NO EVIDENCE of atrocities - nevertheless, these leaders
have not called for massive demonstrations against the NATO/KLA
terror in Kosovo. Where is Mr. Chomsky? Is he sleeping? Where is
Z magazine? Where is Mr. Zinn? Where is Fellowship of
Reconciliation and the American Friends and all the other
humanitarian peace groups? Are the Serbs not human?
These groups have all harshly attacked the Serbs claiming
(without evidence) that the Serbs committed war crimes. Why are
they silent now, when NATO itself admits that not only are all
non-Albanians being driven from Kosovo, but all evidence of Serbian
history - for example, scores of priceless ancient churches and
monasteries - are being destroyed. Isn't this genocide - the
eradication of a people - in the most profound sense?
Why are Chomsky and the rest silent?
These leaders could mobilize tens of thousands of people to
oppose genocide. Why don't they? Do all the Serbs have to be killed
first?
By failing to act, Chomsky and the others fulfill a most
important role for NATO: they are the Inert Opposition. People say
"How can you attack Chomsky et al? They have wonderful
reputations. They are like Saints." Alas, we at the emperors-clothes
cannot tell a lie. So here's the truth: admirable reputations don't stop
wars of genocide. Chomsky may have written some useful things
about South America and the IMF but the Balkan wars are at the
heart off the U.S. attack on this world. We don't need general
statements and watered-down demonization. We need refutation of
lies and action. This is life and death.
These people fill political spaces and by dint of occupation of
those spaces they head off action. Thus they function as blockage,
like fat in an artery. By virtue of inaction - of immovability - they
have made themselves accomplices in nothing less than the fascist
takeover of Kosovo. I realize these are harsh words. I mean every
one. Am I wrong? Show me! I would love to be wrong. Write an
answer! Do it! Emperors-clothes will print your replies. If you don't
reply, your silence admits guilt.
This isn't a game, gentleman and ladies. I consider you
accomplices in genocide. There is no point in being polite when
genocide is occurring.
GETTING BACK TO "REVENGE"
As I noted, one of the reasons Westerners don't rise up against the terror
in
Kosovo is - they have been told over and over that the Serbs deserve it.
Even
if Westerners don't believe this lie fully, it serves to blunts opposition.
To emphasize Serbian guilt, NATO and the media pose Albanian attacks on
Serbs
as acts of revenge. This started soon after NATO took over Kosovo. Here is a
speech which Clinton adviser Sandy Berger made which sums up the NATO
position:
"Now let me turn to Kosovo. What I want to do today is look backward and
look
ahead. All across Kosovo we see reminders that America and our allies did
the
right thing in taking a stand against ethnic cleansing. We see it in the
heart-rending returns of the living and in the stark and silent testimony of
the dead. The Serb forces responsible for the violence are gone. Already
more
than 72,000 of the roughly one million refugees have returned, but there is
also tremendous sadness from the pain of remembering and the devastation
left
behind by Milosevic's campaign of hate. And in many victims there is rage, a
desire for justice and sometimes revenge. (The News Hour with Jim Lehrer,
July 26, 1999, Transcript #6479)
The REVENGE argument is inserted in virtually every news story about Kosovo:
I call this "Editorial Guidance". The point of "editorial guidance" is to
orient readers for a proper information experience by protecting them from
conclusions that might follow, helter-skelter, from mere fact. For example,
there are many news reports of Albanians murdering aged Serbian women,
children, non-Serbs who speak languages that sound Serbian, and even one
story reporting Albanian demands that a dog be put to death because it was
(I
kid you not) Serbian as opposed to Albanian(?!).
Now, presented with such raw info, an unguided mind might wander into
inappropriate areas such as: "Maybe these Albanians are anti-Slav racists."
The next thing you know our reader is mired in SPECULATION: "If the Serbs
are
all bad and the Albanians are all good and NATO bombed Yugoslavia to forge
multiethnic peace - why, since NATO conquered Kosovo, has there been 5
months
of unmitigated violence against Serbs?" This kind of thinking will get you
nowhere since it calls into question the whole NATO experience; therefore
stories about Albanian terrorism must include reminders that such mysterious
attacks (such as, let us say, the strangling of a 95 year old Serbian woman
in her bath or the driving of 30,000 residents from an immense housing
complex in Pristina after which the apartments are sold or rented to UN
employees) are "revenge for the brutal policies of Milosevich's forces
during
the NATO bombing." This makes everything clear and citizens of the Western
democracies can eat their MacFood in peace and leave the thinking to
machines. ( From: Why do you say "Of course!", Mr. Hume?, see note # 27 at
the end)
The revenge argument is put forward by spokesmen for Position One (like
Berger) and by advocates of Position Two. The Serbian Orthodox monk, Fr.
Sava, is a Position Two man. Often quoted in the West, Sava differs from
Berger only in orientation. Here's a typical statement by Fr. Sava:
SAVA: Those people who took part in repression and crimes during the war,
they of course left before the K4 and Albanians would come. But many
innocent
people stay here who wanted to live together with Albanians and others in
peace and they hoped and believed that it was possible... I am afraid they
[KFOR-or NATO]Roma and other minority population fairly unprotected. Of
course we know it is impossible to protect all people but I think that after
three months we don't have almost a single criminal case against Serbs
completely investigated.
An alternative to the 'revenge' argument
Those who advocate Position One and Position Two say: if Albanians are NOT
motivated by Revenge then why are they so hell-bent on attacking Serbs?
What,
other than persecution, could make them so hostile?
In the first instance, the revenge argument is absurd. Because it's not only
Serbs whom the Albanian secessionists are attacking. It's also "Gypsies",
Slavic Muslims, Turks, Croatians who live in Kosovo, Catholic Albanians,
Muslim Albanians who oppose the KLA. Are we to believe that EVERYONE in
Kosovo was involved in a conspiracy against ethnic Albanians, organized by
the Yugoslav government? Including other Muslims? Including - ethnic
Albanians?
But if those Albanains who are attacking Serbs et al are not motivated by
Revenge, what IS their problem?
The answer can be found by looking at history. During World War II, Kosovo
(and Albania) were under Italian Fascist and then German Nazi control. The
local Albanians ruled the roost. A large section of the Albanian population
actively backed Nazism. Indeed, many were more fanatical than most Germans.
The local Slavs as well as Jews and Gypsies were at the mercy of these
pro-Nazi Albanians who expelled or murdered them or sent them to
concentration camps or used them for slave labor.
These Kosovo Albanians were driven from power when Partisans and Russians
swept into Kosovo at the end of the war. Many could not accept this defeat.
They continued to fight during the late 1940s and they have indoctrinated
their children (as Nazi's always do, or try to do) with their beliefs. Keep
in mind that Kosovo Albanian culture is clan-based, with tremendous power in
the hands of the oldest male. Myths of Paradise Lost (i.e., World War II
Nazism) are especially effective in such a climate: once we ruled, but now
we
have to co-exist with untermenschen.
The Western media has pictured Kosovo Albanians as being analogous to black
people in the segregated American South. Wrong. Albanians have much more in
common with Southern whites who had been part of the slave system just and
who had been "robbed" of their wealth and status by the American Civil War.
With slavery shattered, these whites watched in horror as Northern armies
installed Reconstruction governments of "white trash" and - horror of
horrors
- freed slaves.
These Southern whites organized terrorist groups to right the "imbalance" -
to put the untermenschen back in their place. That's where the KKK came
from.
Albanians in Kosovo reacted the same way, first openly fighting for control,
and then operating in a hidden way.
Thus we have Ibrahim Rugova's "non-violent resistance", which was neither
non-violent nor a movement of resistance to oppression. Instead it was a
coercively organized attempt to destabilize Kosovo society and create
Western
public support for secession. The same is true of the KLA, though of course
their methods are openly terrorist.
The motor force behind Albanian secessionism is race hate. And it's rooted
in
the World War II "experience" when racism ruled Kosovo.
So let's take a look at World War II in Kosovo; because in Kosovo, WWII was
not so very long ago...
A little history: Kosovo in World War II
by George Thompson (posted 12-17-99)
"The Serbian population in Kosovo should be removed as soon as possible
Serbian settlers should be killed." (Albanian fascist leader Mustafa Kroja,
June 1942.)
"He, like many KLA officers, says openly that he dreams of a Kosovo without
Serbs." (Description of KLA death squad commander "the Teacher", Agence
France Presse, August 19, 1999)
"As Germany overtook Yugoslavia in 1941, the Kosovar people were liberated
by
the Germans. All Albanian territories of this state, such as Kosova, western
Macedonia and border regions under Montenegro, were re-united into Albania
proper. Albanian schools, governmental administration, press and radio were
re-established." (From www.klpm.org , a Kosovo Liberation Army-affiliated
affiliated website)
Mussolini's Italy occupied Albania proper in April, 1939, and established a
collaborationist regime with the apparent enthusiasm of most Albanians.(4)
After Hitler invaded and occupied Yugoslavia in spring 1941, the bulk of
current Kosovo-Metohija was placed under Italian-Albanian collaborationist
control and annexed to Albania.(5)
When Italian forces moved into Kosovo they were accompanied by Albanians
from
Albania. Albanians living in Kosovo joined the invasion force as it made its
way North and West, and also ambushed Yugoslav Army units moving to meet the
invaders. These Albanians, natives of both Albania and Kosovo, instituted a
campaign of murder and expulsion of Serbs. Initially, the mayhem was carried
out by disorganized "kachak" (irregular) units. These were Albanian brigands
from both sides of the border who had fought Yugoslavia throughout the 1920s
and 1930s.(6) However, soon a native Kosovo militia was formed. This
militia,
called the Vulnetari, and various gendarme units, began more systematic
persecution.(7)
Italians Taken Aback
Italian authorities in Kosovo seemed a bit distressed by the terror against
Serbs and occasionally intervened to prevent Albanian attacks, at least in
urban areas. Thus a Serbian historian wrote: "Italian troops were stationed
in the towns of Kosovo and acted as a restraining force ..."(8) And Carlo
Umilta, a civilian aide to the Commander of the Italian occupation forces,
described several instances where Italian forces fired on Albanians to halt
massacres of Serbs.(9)
Because of manpower limitations and the de facto alliance between Albanians
and the Axis powers, these efforts at restraint were limited. Nevertheless,
the Italian occupiers reported their disgust at Albanians actions to the
authorities in Rome. The Italian army reported that Albanians were "hunting
down Serbs", and that the "Serbian minority are living in conditions that
are
truly disgraceful, constantly harassed by the brutality of the Albanians,
who
are whipping up racial hatred."(10) Carlo Umilta described some of the
atrocities in his memoirs and observed that "the Albanians are out to
exterminate the Slavs."(11) His words were echoed by those of German
diplomat
Hermann Neubacher, the Third Reichs representative for southeastern Europe:
"Shiptars (i.e., Kosovo Albanians) were in a hurry to expel as many Serbs as
possible from the country."(12)
The atrocities were deliberate, part of a plan to create a Serb-free
"Greater
Albania". In June 1942 the fascist puppet president of Albania, Mustafa
Kroja, declared his goals candidly before his followers in Kosovo:
"The Serbian population of Kosovo should be removed as soon as possible . .
.
All indigenous Serbs should be qualified as colonists and as such, via the
Albanian and Italian governments, be sent to concentration camps in Albania.
Serbian settlers should be killed." (13)
Similar sentiments were expressed by a Kosovo Albanian leader, Ferat-bey
Draga:
"time has come to exterminate the Serbs . . . there will be no Serbs under
the Kosovo sun."(14)
The anti-Serb pogroms intensified after Italy's collapse in September 1943.
The German Nazi's assumed control of Albania, including Kosovo. Italian
military units pulled out and were replaced by three divisions of the German
XXI Mountain Corps. The German presence freed the Albanians of restraint.
Kosovo Albanian nationalist militias called the "Balli Komb?tar" (or
"Ballistas") carried out a campaign of deportation and murder of Serbs in
1943 and 1944. Then, on Hitlers express order, the Germans formed the 21st
"Waffen-Gebirgs Division der SS" - the Skanderbeg Division. With German
leaders and Kosovo Albanian officers and troops, Hitlers hoped that using
the Skanderbergs Germany could "achieve its well-known political objective"
of creating a viable (i.e., pure) "Greater Albania" including Kosovo.(15)
In general, German policy was to organize volunteer military units among
Nazi
sympathizers in occupied countries. Of all the occupied nations only the
Serbs, Greeks and Poles refused to form Nazi volunteer units. Rather than
joining the Nazis, as the Albanians in Kosovo did, the Serbs organized the
largest anti-Nazi resistance in Europe. Both the Communist Partisans and
thee
Royalist Chetniks were mainly Serbs and both groups fought the Germans and
their local allies throughout Yugoslavia.
The Germans recruited the 9,000 man Skanderbeg division to fight these
resistance groups But the Skanderberg's Albanians had little interest in
going up against soldiers; they mainly wanted to terrorize local Serbs,
"Gypsies" and Jews. Many of these Kosovo Albanians had seen prior service in
the Bosnian Muslim and Croatian SS divisions which were notorious for
slaughtering civilians.
What explained this passionate hatred for non-Albanians? A big factor was
militant Islam. The Fundamentalist "Second League of Prizren" was created in
September 1943 by Xhafer Deva, a Kosovo Albanian, to work with the German
authorities. The League proclaimed a jihad (holy war) against Slavs. They
were backed by the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, El Haj Emin Huseini, who was
pro-Nazi and had called for getting rid of all Jews in what was at that time
British-occupied Palestine. Albanian religious intolerance was shown by
their
targeting Serbian Orthodox churches and monasteries for destruction.(16)
No one is certain of human destruction suffered in this Fascist Albanian
Holocaust. Estimates range from 10,000 to 30,000 Serbs murdered. At least
100,000 were driven from Kosovo and replaced with "immigrants" from Albania
proper.(17)
In justifying current Kosovo Albanian demands to secede from Serbia, the
media has repeated, like a mantra: 90% of the population is Albanian. While
this figure is most likely exaggerated (nobody knows for sure because Kosovo
Albanians boycotted the census for years!) - the province has been largely
Albanian. But a major cause of the current demographic imbalance: was the
Albanians' success as Hitler's willing executioners during World War II.(18)
And their attention was not limited to Serbs. Unknown numbers of Roma
("Gypsies") were liquidated. And Kosovo Albanians, acting alone as well as
under German direction, eliminated many of Kosovo's Jews.
The definitive work on Hitler's "Final Solution" in Yugoslavia (19)
estimates
that 550 Jews lived in Kosovo Hitler took over Yugoslavia. 210 of them, or
38
percent, were murdered in Kosovo, mainly by Albanians. In fact, the
Skanderbeg division's first operation was to act as an "einsatzgruppen"
against the Jews, and its second was a similar extermination foray against
the Serb village of Velika where more than 400 Serbians were murdered.(20)
Ceda Prlincevic, head of the Jewish community in Pristina and an executive
of
the provincial archives, has explained to Emperors-Clothes that the Jews who
were not murdered outright were sent by the Skanderbeg division to the
German
death camps Treblinka and Bergen-Belsen. One train, on its way to the latter
camp, took the wrong track and was intercepted by advancing Russian
soldiers.
According to Mr. Prlincevic, were it not for that fortunate detour, the
entire Jewish population of Kosovo would have been eliminated.
Although KLA supporters now claim that no Jews were killed in Kosovo and
that
Jews were sheltered by the Kosovo Albanians, such claims are false and
should
be treated the same way we would treat other Holocaust denials.
Albanian Fascists go on fighting
The Germans surrendered in 1945, but the remnants of the Kosovo Albanian
Nazi
and fascist groups continued fighting the Yugoslav government for six years,
with a major rebellion from 1945 to 1948 in the Drenica region. (Drenica was
the hotbed for KLA recruiting in 1998-99). That rebellion was under the
command of Shabhan Paluzha; it is called the Shabhan Paluzha rebellion.
Sporadic violence continued until 1951. It is literally true to say that the
last shots of World War II were fired in Kosovo
A parting thought
As Germans entered Prizren in Kosovo for the first time since World War II,
an NBC correspondent reported:
"I was at dinner with a kind Kosovo Muslim family the other night when talk
turned to the German NATO troops that rolled into town to make the city the
headquarters of its peacekeeping district. The patriarch of the family, a
man
old enough to remember the last time German troops rolled into Prizren, said
they all felt safe now. 'The German soldiers are excellent,' he said. Then
he
added, 'I should know, I used to be one.' Then he raised his arm in a Nazi
salute and said, 'Heil,' and laughed merrily. (NBC, June 18, 1999)

Krizman, Maps of Yugoslavia at War (1943). Carl Kosta Savitch, in Genocide
in
Kosovo: Skanderbeg Division, quotes a wartime account that 30,000 to 40,000
Serbs were killed by Albanians. In addition, an unknown number of Serbs dies
in the German-operated work camps of Pristina and Mitrovica, or were killed
by the Germans as reprisals against resistance activity.
The reported number of expelled Serbs also varies depending on the source.
Dragnich and Todorovich cited the figure of 70,000-100,000, based on a
review
of wartime refugee records. Dmitri Bogdanovich estimates 100,000, but
acknowledges that the exact number has never been determined. Dmitri
Bogdanovich, The Kosovo Question: Past and Present (1985). Dr. Avramov notes
that wartime records showing 70,000 refugees from Kosovo counted only those
persons in need of government assistance who registered with the
Commissariat
for Refugees in Belgrade. Records of those who did not register, or who fled
to Montenegro, apparently do not exist. Avramov, supra.
(18) Before world war 2 Serbs constituted a slight majority of the Kosovo
population. Avramov, supra. In addition to the murder and expulsion of
Serbs,
the relative ethnic population balance was further skewed by the entrance of
hundreds of thousands of ethnic Albanians from Albania proper during the
war.
Relying on Italian records from the time, Dr. Avramov estimates that 150,000
to 200,000 Albanians moved into Kosovo between 1941 and 1943.

(23) Bacon's letter to the Times is remarkable, both as an example of
baloney
and of audacity.
"In an appearance on the CBS News program "Face the Nation" on May 16, Mr.
Cohen mentioned reports that 100,000 military-age men were missing. When
asked if they might have been killed, Mr. Cohen did not discount the
possibility, but he also cited reports that a lower number -- as many as
4,600 -- had been killed.
"While conceding that the number might be "far higher," Mr. Cohen did not
mean to suggest that it was as high as 100,000." (KENNETH H. BACON,
Washington, Nov. 15, 1999 )
This is entirely misleading. It's true that Cohen never actually said
100,000
Albanians had been murdered by the Serbs, but he certainly suggested it -
and
he never disagreed with the headlines, in virtually all the NATO newspapers,
which STRONGLY suggested that 100,000 - or more - were MOST LIKELY dead.
Keep
in mind - when you say "up to 100,000 MIGHT be dead" - you are in fact
suggesting that as a real possibility.
Moreover, Bacon himself gave a press conference in May where he commented on
the humanitarian "disaster" in Kosovo. Here's how Bacon put things in this
earlier period, before the "War Crimes" Tribunal admitted there were no mass
killings:
"No matter what Milosevic says, the number of Kosovar Albanians who have
been
unfortunately killed in NATO attacks is tiny compared to the number of
people
he has massacred. We now believe that the mass executions are over 5,000 in
Kosovo. As Secretary Cohen said yesterday, we fear that a significant
percentage of the 100,000 draft-age men who have been reported missing will
never again appear and may be dead. So we won't know for months after this
ends, maybe years, the fate of all these people." (Kenneth Bacon speaking at
Defense Department Briefing, May 17,1999
Clearly Bacon is suggesting here that all or most of these so-called missing
men are dead - if not, why use the figure of 100,000 in the first place?
