Have you read the latest news about the cutest squirrel in the world jumping in front of a young couple’s camera on vacation? Did you know that Michael Jackson’s brain wasn’t buried with the rest of his remains? How about the outrage over that evil Republican yelling “You lie!” to Obama, in the midst of another of his historical speeches? How horrific is the announcement that Oprah might quit her daytime show after this season, her only 19,678th in a row? Welcome to the Western mainstream media, where you get well entertained and superbly brainwashed, but never properly informed. The following are some of the profusely ignored news.

Ignored Kosovo and Metohija Province

NATO-formed Albanian police prevented some 80 members of the families of Kosovo Serbs kidnapped and killed in the southern Serbian province between 1998 and 2000 from reaching Velika Hoča to attend unveiling of the memorial to Serb victims of Albanian insurrection and terror.

Kosovo and Metohija Ministry issued a statement saying it is unacceptable for the interim authorities in Priština to block those who were on their way to Velika Hoča to honor the Serbs killed from 1998 until 2000.

Kosovo and Metohija Minister Goran Bogdanović said acts such as this are the best illustration of Kosovo interim administration’s treatment of Serbs and other non-Albanians in the province, speaking volumes about their vision of the multiethnic society.

“This puzzling move is deeply offensive, at the same time demonstrating that the temporary Kosovo institutions have no respect whatsoever toward the families of those killed and kidnapped. It also reveals their position toward the non-Albanian victims who died during the conflict in Kosovo,” Bogdanović said.

Meanwhile, Raška-Prizren and Kosovo-Metohija Diocese reported yesterday that, in addition to the Peć Patriarchate and monasteries Gračanica, Gorioč and Devič, Priština Albanians have cut electricity off to the other Serbian Orthodox shrines and monasteries, including St. Archangels Monastery, Church of St. George, Sts Cyril and Methodius Theological University and Diocesan Residence in Prizren.

“It is a continuation of the offensive against the monasteries,” Kosovo-Metohija Bishop Artemije said.

On the same day United Nations noted the international problem of Serbian province of Kosovo has been prematurely and unjustifiably dropped by the mainstream media.

“10 Stories the World Should Hear More About”, published on Tuesday, is the latest list of subjects UN Department of Public Information (DPI) believes deserve greater global attention. Among them, “Kosovo Region”, the issue that is far from over, resolved and settled, despite the Western MSM insistence on treating it as fete accompli.

Since Reuters, AP, AFP, DPA and New York Times apparently believe accidentally photographed squirrel deserves more attention than the continuous ethnic cleansing of Serbian Kosovo province, it is no wonder it is virtually impossible to find the information that OSCE intends to shut down its Kosovo and Metohija mission, set up to protect the rights of non-Albanians in the province.

Russian Itar Tass is the world’s only news agency that reported on this, revealing the information was contained in the report on the situation in Kosovo province, submitted at a regular meeting of OSCE’s Permanent Council in Vienna, by the mission’s head Werner Almhofer.

Itar Tass said that the Russian government considers such a move, “under the guise of scaling down of international presence”, unacceptable.

“Such steps, sanctioned by no one, are unilateral, and they affect the overall activity under the mandate of that mission,” Russia’s ambassador to the OSCE, Anvar Azimov, was quoted as saying.

Ignoring the Inconvenient Bits from NATO Court in Hague

That Western MSM simply goes mum on the issues that contradict the common party line has been proven yet again in relation to the much advertised upcoming mock trial of another Serb in Hague, former Republic of Srpska President Radovan Karadžić.

So, no one in the West reported that presiding Judge O-Gon Kwon suggested the prosecutor should drop the charges related to two Markale marketplace shelling in Sarajevo (5 February 1994 and 28 August 1995), when dozens of civilians were killed and maimed. Kwon reminded the prosecution that there is a “controversy on which party was responsible for the shelling”.

In addition, Judge Kwon said that, unless the prosecutor has evidence President Karadžić personally fired the mortar shells, these crimes are not “representative” of the charges raised against Karadžić.

Needless to say, NATO prosecution cannot have any such evidence, since it has been established long time ago the shelling of the Sarajevo marketplace and a resulting massacre was a handiwork of Bosnian Muslims, two in a series of willfully committed war crimes in order to give NATO a pretext to bomb Bosnian Serbs. (Regarding the Markale Massacres, one should read about some of the evidence presented in the 16 January 1997 report by the U.S. Senate Republican Committee titled Clinton-Approved Iranian Arms Transfers Help Turn Bosnia into Militant Islamic Base, under the subtitle Self-Inflicted Atrocities)

On August 25, Karadžić asked the Hague council to request that France submits their intelligence documents on conclusions about the 1994-1995 Markale Massacre setups reached by the French investigators. He explained that French investigators operating within UNROFOR [UN Protection Force in Bosnia and Herzegovina] have established that Bosnian Muslim forces fired the mortar shells at the Sarajevo marketplace, and submitted a report about their findings, still classified confidential.

Karadžić stressed the well known fact that even former French Prime Minister Édouard Balladur confirmed to a reporter that Bosnian Muslims have “committed this carnage on their own people […] but at least they have forced NATO to intervene”.

Ignoring Unpleasant Reminders of Western Involvement in War Crimes Against the Serbs in Former Yugoslavia

Unclean French fingers and conscience represent another unpleasant reminder of the malignant role played by the most powerful Western governments in dismemberment of former Yugoslavia and Serbia, ethnic cleansing of the Serbs from Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo province, and the merciless drive to destroy Serbian lands and nation.

French daily Liberation yesterday reported that France was trying to prevent the Croat war criminal Ante Gotovina to come before the Hague court, fearing that his arrest could lead to revealing how the French intelligence services had helped the Croatian forces ethnically cleanse over 250,000 Krajina Serbs.

Quoting the diary of General Philippe Rondeau, the daily states that Rondeau, who was chief-of-staff of then Defense Minister Michelle Eloise-Marie in 2003, was a party to the talks on Gotovina’s surrender.

The minister was against bringing Gotovina to trial for “common interests,” as she put it, writes Liberation.

The daily explains that it was in France’s interests at the time to leave Gotovina at large in exchange for capturing another wanted indictee, although it is not clear exactly who.

The Hague chief prosecutor at the time, Carla Del Ponte, rejected the French proposal.

In his diary, Rondeau wrote that France feared that Gotovina’s arrest could lead to information being revealed on how the DGSE, French intelligence service, was helping the Croat troops.

16 Years Since the Medak Pocket Massacre

In Croatia, Current on September 9, 2009 at 6:51 am

Medak Pocket Massacre

“This is a Serb Village, Slit All Throats!”

September 9 marks 16 years since the massacre Croat forces committed in the villages and hamlets south and southeast from the town Gospić in Serbian Krajina, called Medak Pocket (Medački Džep) — a UN safe haven — mutilating, raping, setting on fire and killing 88 Serbs. Memorial services to the victims were held throughout Serbian lands, and in the Church of Saint Mark in Belgrade.

Marking the event, Documentation Center Veritas reminded Croats left no wounded behind in the Serb-populated villages.

The only survivor, Ivanka Rajčević, gave a following testimony:

“My son and I were asleep in the house. It was around 6 a.m. when the first grenade hit one of the houses which immediately burst into flames. I called my son. He said: ‘Mam, we won’t leave the house because they are bombarding’.

“I heard one Ustasha circling around the house. He came to the window and saw me inside. He activated a hand grenade and threw it inside. When it exploded he stood back up to see if it killed me. I was only wounded, but I pretended to be dead. He went behind the house and fired an automatic rifle (…) The other ones came in front of the house afterwords, in a transporter and on the tank. They didn’t stay long, but four Ustasha stayed in front of the doors. They did not speak our language, I believe they spoke German [they probably spoke Dutch, another Germanic language, as it was established that 13 Dutchmen also took part in the massacre]. When two Ustasha joined them, they asked the interpreter to translate. He said: ‘This is a Serb village, slit all throats, even the cats! Kill everything, nothing must stay behind, including children.’

“A number of them wearing the black masks arrived, some thirty of them, maybe more. When they spread through the village I went to the other room to see if my son came back. He wasn’t there. I went out of the house so they wouldn’t burn me alive. I crawled through the fence hedges to escape. Inside one thick hedge I bandaged the wound and stayed there all night and during the next day…”

No Sign of Human or Animal Life

After the massacre, Croat forces handed over to Serbs 52 corpses. Members of the UN Protection Force (UNPROFOR) serving in Croatia carried another 18 bodies, which were mutilated and set on fire, out of Medak Pocket. In the year 2000, 11 bodies were found hidden in the sewage pit.

Croat troops, aided by the Croat civilians from the region, plundered and then razed to the ground all three Medak Pocket villages — Divoselo, Čitluk and Počitelj and dozens of nearby hamlets, following the “scorched earth” policy of the Croat war leaders.

Of the 84 bodies found, 8 remain unidentified, while the remains of 4 of the Medak Pocket villagers are still being searched for.

Following the slaughter, which lasted from 9-17 September 1993, UN commander in Croatia French General Jean Cot, said that French and Canadian UN battalions “could not prevent the slaughter of the Serbs, including elderly and children, by the Croatians”, testifying that Croat troops “didn’t leave a cat alive” in Medak Pocket.

In the UNPROFOR Press Release published on 19 September 1993, General Cot made a following note: “I have found no sign of human or animal life in the several villages we passed today. The destruction is total, systematic and deliberate.”

UNPROFOR spokeswoman Shannon Boyd issued a press release in the Croatian capital Zagreb on September 18, 1993, in which she said: “UNPROFOR troops found at least 11 hamlets in the Medak Pocket completely destroyed […] It was assessed that the destruction was well organized, systematic and total. Homes were reduced to rubble by detonations and dead livestock littered the area.”

“The girls had been raped. Then shot. Then set on fire.”

Canadian troops testified that “all livestock had been killed and houses torched”.

Canadian peacekeeper Tony Spiess was one of many Canada’s soldiers who suffered nightmares after witnessing the devastation left by the savage Croat troops.

“The Croatian militia had been trying to keep the Canadian troops from uncovering their ethnic cleansing of a Serbian village, Spiess says, confirming accounts recreated in the 2004 book by Carol Off, titled The Ghosts of Medak Pocket: The Story of Canada’s Secret War.

“When the shooting, bombing and mayhem were finally over at Medak Pocket — with no Canadian deaths — one of the things Spiess remembers most was the odour of death, everything from horses to humans.

“The smell will never go away,” he said.

“As Spiess and his Canadian comrades walked into the destroyed Serbian village that the Croatians had tried to stop them from seeing, burning corpses were everywhere.

“Spiess perhaps most vividly remembers the bodies of two teenage Serbian girls hanging limp on chairs, their arms tied to the chairs behind their backs.

“They were still smoldering,” Spiess said. “It was total f—in’ devastation.”

“A chill sets in as he speaks.

“The girls had been raped. Then shot. Then set on fire.”

Epilogue: One Man Sentenced to 7 Years in Prison. That’s All, Move Along.

NATO court in Hague issued indictments against three Croat generals for Medak Pocket massacre. Kosovo Albanian Rahim Ademi and Croats Janko Bobetko and Mirko Norac were charged with crimes against humanity and violations of the laws and rules of war. Agim Ceku, another Kosovo Albanian butcher, was commanding the Croat troops which massacred Medak Pocket Serbs. He was never indicted for the committed war crimes. Instead, he was awarded the premiership in the transitional Kosovo province government under the UN Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) administration.

According to the indictment, Croat civilians and troops “systematically plundered” the Serb populated villages and hamlets during and after the assault by the Croat armed forces, “removed personal goods such as electrical goods and furniture from buildings that were or about to be destroyed, removed animals and farm equipment, dismantled buildings and carried parts thereof away by truck”, they “systematically destroyed up to 164 homes and approximately 148 other buildings (and the contents thereof) by the use of explosives and fire”.

Hague’s chief prosecutor Carla Del Ponte asserted that, during a week-long bloody orgy, Croat troops were mutilating and killing Serb villagers “by means of shooting, stabbing, cutting of fingers, severe beatings with rifle butts, burning with cigarettes, jumping on bodies, tying bodies to a car and dragging them along the road, mutilation and other forms of mistreatment”.

To illustrate the unparalleled cruelty of Croat troops, the Hague indictment emphasized the case of two women: Boja Pjevač, who was mutilated and then had her body desecrated, and Boja Vujanović who was burned alive “whilst being mocked”.

But there was no Hague trial to the Croat generals who led the pogrom against the Medak Pocket Serbs.

In September 2005 the Hague Council transferred the Medak Pocket case to Croatian judiciary, which promptly acquitted Rahim Ademi and sentenced Mirko Norac to an insultingly mild punishment — 7 years in prison, thus closing the books on Medak Pocket massacre.

One man sentenced to seven years imprisonment for three villages and eleven hamlets razed to the ground, 88 innocent lives taken in the most monstrous ways and the complete and total extermination of the Serb population in the region.

NATO-Nazi justice in full glory.

Kosovo is Serbia, by Dr. Vojin Joksimovich

Kosovo is Serbia, by Dr. Vojin Joksimovich

A Shameful Tale of Duplicity, Double Standards and Mismanagement

“This ebook tells the sad story of US foreign policy blunders in the Balkans. It is a shameful tale of duplicity, double standards, and mismanagement. The backing of Albanian terrorists, the bombing of Serbia and the recognition of Kosovo as an independent state mark a historic turning point. If Americans really want to know why their country is no longer regarded as ‘the home of the brave and the land of the free,’ they should read this ebook.” (James Bissett, Former Canadian Ambassador to Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and Albania)

Dr. Vojin Joksimovich, author of the 1999 book Kosovo Crisis: A Study in Foreign Policy Mismanagement, has made his new book Kosovo is Serbia available for instant download in the electronic format.

Kosovo is Serbia shows how “Serbian sovereignty was betrayed in violation of the UN Charter, the Helsinki Final Act, UN Resolution #1244 and the NATO Treaty, in order to curry favor to known Muslim terrorists in the Balkans”.

President Clinton, Secretary Albright and Jamie Shea lied—our State Department told the world that “Christian Serbs had killed 100,000 Muslim Albanians.”

We now know the so-called “Racak Massacre” of 45 Albanians was stage managed by Ambassador William Walker as a pretext to bomb Serbia. Hashim Thaci the Prime Minister of Kosovo and former leader of the KLA has admitted that Racak was a fabrication.

We also know that less than 5,000 were killed in Kosovo on both sides and to date 151 ancient Christian Serbian churches have been razed in the past 8 years, under the noses of 17,000 NATO troops.

This ebook exposes Washington’s duplicity that took us to war without an Act of Congress or a vote at the United Nations. NATO was converted into an aggressive force in violation of its own “defensive” Treaty.

Read how the American taxpayers were duped by State Department lies and phony Albanian deaths in order to build the largest American military base in the world since Vietnam—Camp Bondsteel—built on Christian Serbian soil without authority or compensation to Christian landowners was accomplished in order to favor Balkan Muslims and KLA terrorists. We should all be asking why?

This shocking ebook will open your eyes about American Foreign Policy. Read how your newspapers withheld information and utilized pictures of Christian Serbian victims, portrayed as Muslim victims, knowing full well the American public was too naive to realize they were being deliberately hoodwinked by journalists with their own hidden agenda who relied on Muslim runners to gather the information used in their articles—none of which could be independently verified.

From the outset, the American agenda was to amputate sovereign Serbian territory … Not since Hitler has an entire nation been so successfully demonized with collective guilt. The fix was in from the outset. Kosovo independence was a fait accompli, setting a dangerous precedent for future ethnic disputes around the world.

After reading this powerful ebook you will no doubt ask why the United States of America would bomb 11 Christian Serbian churches, 200 schools, 147 hospitals and nursing homes, trains, buses, 66 bridges, 8 airports, 64 telecommunications stations, including the bombing of Belgrade Television, 32 agricultural complexes, 78 industrial complexes and entire Christian Serbian villages. These were not military targets but the media managed to look the other way.

The worse crime was that Gen. Wesley Clark and NATO resorted to Ecocide against an entire nation by deliberately unleashing toxic chemicals and VCMs 10,600 times above normal and used illegal cluster bombs on civilian populations… war crimes by every definition.
