If you can’t beat ’em, harvest their organs. I was already appalled that Bill Clinton decided in 1999 to have the US serve as Osama Bin Laden’s air force and support the Kosovo Liberation Army (AP/USA Today, 1999), a terrorist organization which funded its arms and training through the heroin smuggling trade (FAIR, 1999) and which forcibly recruited some of Kosovo’s young men (The Independent, UK, 1999) to take up arms and join them in their war of secession from Yugoslavia, and I was appalled that Clinton had used as his pretext for bombing Europe for the first time since WW II the KLA-faked “mass grave” at Racak (Toronto Sun/Centre for Peace in the Balkans, 2001) . I was equally appalled by the US media’s one-sided coverage of the Kosovo conflict because it suited our own geopolitical plans in Europe. With the USSR gone, Yugoslavia was the last of the Eastern Bloc, and communism in Europe simply had to go.
On the other hand one can hardly blame any Albanian or Bosnian Muslim or Croatian Catholic for wanting to break free of violent Serbian Orthodox Christian ultra-nationalism under gangsters like Milosevic and his immediate predecessors, but I didn’t know just how ugly the fundraising had been within the KLA’s so-called liberation movement. Often in war it’s hard to choose the “good” side and justify in your heart which innocent civilians are the most expendable, eh? (see Tesla’s Letters).
But that’s what the media’s for, to get us all whipped up and cheering for “our” team like the whole thing’s a big football game, and to keep us from examining matters too closely. Even now the US and its Western European allies are bent on suppressing some dirty little truths about the Kosovo conflict, and once again the mainstream media has gone missing, aside from the Washington Post so far. To bad Julian Assange wasn’t around in ’99. And now here’s the story from Julia Goren at the Huffington Post…
Coverup on Serbian-Organ Harvesting: ‘Pro-American’ Kosovo Prime Minister Thaci Oversaw the Scheme
by Julia Goren, huffingtonpost.com
Switzerland has gagged one its Ambassadors from promoting a controversial [2008] book about war crimes in the former Yugoslavia. Carla Del Ponte, who prosecuted crimes at The Hague [and authored the 2009 book Madame Prosecutor: Confrontations with Humanity’s Worst Criminals and the Culture of Impunity], claims some current Kosovo leaders once sold vital organs from Serb prisoners…
The book, The Hunt: Me and War Criminals, was due to be launched in Milan. It details atrocities committed by Albanians against Kosovo Serbs in the late 1990s and says that some of those currently in power in Kosovo made money selling Serb organs.
…Del Ponte’s book tells, in particular, about the obstructions she had to surmount “in her attempts to prosecute people guilty of the war crimes, committed during the armed conflicts in the Balkans in the nineties”… “Carla Del Ponte’s book on her work as Chief Prosecutor of the Hague Tribunal contains statements which are impermissible for a representative of the government of Switzerland,” Spokesman for the Swiss Foreign Department Jean-Philippe Jeannerat stated…
The Kosovo Liberation Army’s veteran leader, Hashim Thaci, now Kosovo’s prime minister, in the mid-1990s spent time in Switzerland, a centre for radical Albanian emigre circles, where he mysteriously acquired funds for the KLA.
Serbian press reported the organ scheme worth about four million euros was Continue reading “All’s Fair in Love and War”
