Reuters, Washington Times Succumb to Croat Liar-Virus Accompanied by High Fever, Malice and Outlandish Blabber

If anyone still doubts that mainstream media is largely just a well oiled propaganda machine spewing lies, disinformation and loads of crap most of the time, here comes the latest proof in the shape of a rather ludicrous article by someone named Vlado Vurusic published in yesterday’s Croat daily that was readily accepted by British Reuters and Washington Times among others, and republished almost word-for-word without a single shred of evidence or an independent confirmation by any of distinguished news editors or reporters employed by their respective Agitprop Agencies.

It did not bother them in the least that some Croat Vurusic appeared to be the only man on Earth in possession of information that would certainly be a front page headline fit for any respectable news agency; they did not think it suspicious that this Best Informed Man on Earth (sadly employed only by the Croatian Jutarnji List), instead of citing one reliable, verifiable source claims his “information” comes from “semi-official sources” that are also “close to the Russian leadership” (?!); they didn’t stop to ponder the ridiculous claims this Croat came up with — no siree Bob! — they grabbed it with both hands and ran with it, shaking in their boots of sheer excitement and pleasure the Croat Lump of Coal produced, because it looked so shiny, whispering the sweet nothings in their ears, that the Serbs have been left out to hang by the Russians after all.

Supposedly respectable supposedly newspaper Jutarnji List’s supposedly journalist Vlado Vurusic wrote that Russians have suddenly agreed to let the US-French/German/British resolution pass in the UN Security Council, i.e. they have decided to allow the amputation of Serbian province of Kosovo-Metohija in exchange for the following trifles: to have Russian troops stationed in Serbian ghettos in southern province (?), to stipulate that newly independent Kosovo State will not be allowed to join the United Nations for two years (the preposterous idea was already suggested two weeks ago by the Albanian Brussels-stationed lobbying group ICG, only to be instantly rejected as border-line offensive by Russia) AND to have Ukraine and Georgia not accepted to NATO in June (?!).

Now, one can understand if Croat Vlado Vurusic is either stupid or so ill-informed he actually thinks that “Russian conditions” he conjured out of thin air would seem plausible, and it is easy to understand if Jutarnji List is run by stupid or ignorant editors who thought Vurusic’s figment of imagination seems fine, but it is really hard to understand Reuters, Washington Times and B92 editors would be THAT stupid, careless and uninformed about Russian position regarding Serbia and its southern province, to actually translate Vurusic’s steaming pile of cow dung and proudly exhibit it for their readers.

If they were not blinded by wishful thinking, perhaps they would have realized that, at this point, it would take WAY more for Russia to even consider betraying its firmly held principled, well-argued and highly ethical position, reiterated few thousand times thus far, certainly much more than being allowed to send few of their soldiers to Kosovo-Metohija, more than merely postponing independent Serbian province’s entry into the UN for two measly years and way more than delaying Ukraine’s and Georgia’s NATO membership for what? another month or two? The whole thing reads like idiot’s guide to political idiocy, but apparently Reuters, Washington Times, Scotsman and the rest thought it swell.

Russia: No Haggling — New Negotiations and Solution Acceptable to Belgrade

And, sure enough, early last evening representative of Russia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs Andrey Vladimirovich Krivtov interrupted his dinner to have a good hearty laugh over Croat/UK hallucinations. “It is absolutely out of the question for Moscow to accept anything less than new negotiations and the compromise solution! Those are ludicrous disinformations, without a single grain of truth — Moscow does not even consider anything similar. We have not changed our position confirmed many times over. We have no intention to send our troops to Kosovo-Metohija province, but we do intend to push for new, direct talks between Belgrade and Pristina,” stressed Krivtov.

Regarding the more often floated Western suggestion of partitioning the province, Krivtov said he heard it for the first time from some German commentator, but believes those are merely personal opinions and nothing more. “We are preparing to discuss Kosovo-Metohija issue during the G-8 Summit,” said Krivtov, adding that southern Serbian province will doubtlessly be one of the main subjects of talks between presidents and government representatives during the meeting at the highest level in German seaside resort Heiligendamm. “We expect to be exposed to a severe pressure once again in order to speed up the process, but we also expect a Samara-repeat in that regard,” emphasized Krivtov.

Serbia’s daily Glas Javnosti (which sticks to reporting, rather than inventing the news, a practice Reuters might consider adopting) writes that, contrary to Croat, UK et al. wet dreams, Moscow diplomatic circles are discussing a plan according to which Russian Ambassador in Belgrade would take the document Serbian government adopted Friday — the Initiative for opening a new stage of talks — and submit it to Kremlin, after which Russia would present that document in Heiligendamm as a platform for the new negotiations between Belgrade and Pristina.

  1. This crazy idea coming out of Croatia could not be called wishful thinking more likely wishful halucinations. Whoever thought that the invention would have any impact on final outcome must be feeding on halucinogenic mushrooms. But then again, the news is only as worthy as its source.

  2. I’m honestly shocked – not because of Croats, of course, this is just their regular “journalism”, we have seen tons of much worse lies and inventions by them during the civil wars – but that Western press would be republishing it with such zeal and joy, removing the “thinner” parts and phrases, adding more meat to it and building it up further (I’ve read it in the original edition first) is just beyond disgusting. This is purposeful, intended, fully consensual spreading of sheer lies – an utter shame!

  3. I am sorry but this is just hilarious.

    What did the Croatian moron of an editor think would happen? Russia wouldn’t notice, and somehow this would spark a moral panic, which would then somehow push Russia into corner and then Kosovo would get independence?
    I can’t even speculate what he thought was gonna happen.

    Well one thing is sure – if it accomplished anything, it certainly exposed Western media for what they really are, as well as Croatian ”reliable” sources. Ha!

  4. Right, so much for the Free Press. Free of truth.

  5. Mainstream media is in for blowback for their ridiculous propaganda, people are waking up, turning off their TVs and turning to the internet. They cannot sell this propaganda anymore, people are sick of it.
    Also I would like to plug this in, there is champion of the truth and people running for the 2008 presidential race, his name is Ron Paul, he firmly stands on principle of non-intervention by United States.

  6. The Croats are pitiable in their frenzied hatred of Serbs. It’s like a mass psychosis. They would wish any kind of failure on Serbia, like losing Kosovo, just for spite, and they don’t even consider that their own future is jeapardized by this kind of thing. Montenegro is almost as bad.

  7. Really amazing! This is nothing new for Croats, disinformation and invention is the common tool they never cringe from using if it’s going to harm the Serbs.

    Canadian war reporter Scott Taylor described in one interview how he first clued in that the entire campaign against the Serbs during the nineties is based on malicious propaganda: he went to Zagreb, Croatia, in 1991 or 1992 to some conference where many of the foreign reporters were invited, and in front of the building where they all gathered there was a brick wall built, with each brick having a name written upon it; some Croat women dressed in black were crying and wailing next to it. When he asked about the wall, they explained that each brick represents a Croat killed by “Serb chetniks” around that time, in Croatia. He said the whole scene looked quite grim and made a great impact on most of the foreigners who, at that point in time, had no idea who’s who and what is going on in Yugoslavia. But, he said, as soon as he tried to investigate further and learn some verifiable facts about the alleged victims whose names were written down on those bricks, he discovered there is no other information to be found – no birth or death certificates that one could match with the bricks, no places where they lived, family members or any personal data, NOTHING: those were just names, there were no people behind them.

    This is how Scott Taylor realized that it will be the filthiest of wars, waged and won through media lies and propaganda. And that’s how it was. Bosnian and Albanian Muslims took the page from Croats and did exactly the same, rallying the foreign media around them, while Serbs, as David Binder noted in “Yugoslavia, an avoidable war”, despised and avoided media representatives like a plague, naively believing “everyone can see what’s really going on here”. Well, most didn’t – they couldn’t out of all the dust being thrown in their eyes.

  8. Svetlana I do not see this as a surprise for these two reasons 1.Croat source 2.Anti-Serb.A good journalist I believe is to vigorously challenge and investigate a source not take and reword a dubious source.This reminds me of the 90s and propaganda coming from Rudder and Finn.In the us after Vietnam era reporting and journalism had a great transformation.

    Journalists became repeaters of whatever was given to them by “official sources” without thought or question the pentagon during war time became the only information source.You must remember that careers were made and Pulitzer prizes given out on reporting the Bosnian war.Questionable or down right lies were reported as fact only to vanish a few days or weeks later when it was no longer suitable.I do not trust Russia 100% but like to think that they would come up with better demands than to halt Kosovo-Metohija UN admission and stationing Russian troops in Serb ghettos.As long as it is anti-Serb it is news worthy is seems. All this article proves to me is that our enemy’s are very busy and we need to stay united.CCCC

  9. Croat Hallucinations and Albanian Threats

    Russian UN Ambassador: Mushrooms In Croatia Must be Super-Trippy Russian United Nations Ambassador Vitaly Churkin rejected as “wild speculations” the nonsensical article by the Croat Vlado Vurusic published in Croatian daily Jutarnji List …

  10. Many reporters were able to see through the dust and smoke of deception but were stopped in their tracks from reporting the truth. Some who stuck to the principle lost their jobs others were cajoled into going with the flow or risk being excommunicated. The Power Brokers weren’t interested in truth awards given to many mediocre journalists were clearly aimed at encouraging compliance with Big-Plan politics. As for Croatian role in this latest one I think they were fooled by some other source who didn’t want to look stupid choosing those more befitting the title as a conduit.

  11. Brian, I believe you are absolutely correct, especially regarding the Croat role in the latest special-ops offensive (on the eve of G-8 Summit). As soon as the Russians denied the claims, Reuters went ahead blaming it all on “Croat daily”, omitting to take a good look in the mirror and examine its own role in pruning and beefing up the original few short passages to make it appear more solid and believable.

    For instance, Vurusic unintelligently mentions in his opening passage that his information comes from “semi-official sources” and only in the second one cites a source “close to Russian leadership”. Reuters immediately deletes the clumsy “semi-official” detail, and dully reports the second, better phrase.

    Secondly, Vurusic describes the alleged “third condition” (no less and no more than three, like when you catch a gold fish and it grants you three wishes) in a totally ridiculous way, as if Russia merely asked to have Georgia and Ukraine denied membership in NATO “in June” when, the Croat proudly underscores, Macedonia, Albania and Croatia are expected to join the organization – as if it would be OK if Ukraine and Georgia were allowed in, say, September, or July.

    Reuters, of course, realizes right away the absurdity of the claim and just says that the third condition would be not to allow Ukraine and Georgia to join NATO, period.

    Plus, they have added another 30-40% of their own claptrap to the story, rounding it up nicely and making it more solid and plausible.

    Therefore, they cannot possibly be presumed innocent because they apparently simply cited article from “the biggest Croat daily” without independently verifying the claims, they are at least accomplices and quite possibly the ones who commissioned the big fat lie for their Master and then gave it (much) more prominence by “republishing” through their many channels.

  12. There is something inherently clumsy in this round of falsification saga. The suggestion that Croats may have been fooled by someone else is plausible albeit lined in the row of other possibilities. One wonders if the originating source is just a deranged group, or individual, spattering whatever lands on their salivating tongues, or whether it was an attempt to lead Serbia onto the thin ice. If the latter is the case then the Croats are probably willing stooges eager to contribute to Serbia’s agony. Either way, it’s going to plaster itself on their own faces which they’ll wear with fool’s pride.

  13. I am absolutely elated that the Russians are acting out of principal and have international law on their side. They will not be bought off on this and their new attitude and strength in Europe would make them look foolish if they caved. No, the West will have to cave this time and I believe they will cave MUCH farther to principal demands than simply buying off the Russians as before. This is a totally NEW ballgame.

  14. The comments put forth are all valid points and I agree that there is more to it than we can see for now however I still believe that Croats swallowed the bait-hook, and sinker in a blind rush to be the first to report Russia’s cave-in and Serbia’s demise. The pathological hatred of Serbs has rendered Croatia void of reason.

  15. excerpt from

    http://www.takimag.com/site/article/still_slandering_serbia/

    “Within days of Simons’ story appearing, her key source, Geoffrey Nice, the chief prosecutor in the Milosevic trial, publicly lashed out del Ponte. In a letter to a Croatian daily, JUTARNJI LIST, he accused del Ponte of making a deal with Belgrade to “place part of the archive under protective measures” without consulting him. The deal, Nice declared, “had no legal grounds and served only to conceal evidence of Yugoslavia’s involvement in the wars in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina.” Why Nice chose to write this letter to an obscure Croatian newspaper rather than the New York Times or the London Times is a mystery, the answer to which we will no doubt learn at some point”

    Sometimes special newspapers are used from secret services, to spread informations (from true to lies, everything) and wait for reactions from relevant parties – Maybe the croation newspaper Jutarnji List is one of these Newspapers, connected to such circles?

  16. Excellent point, Josef! I wrote about the exact same subject (NY Times Agitprop) month and a half ago and have completely forgotten it is the same Croat paper, Jutarnji List, Geoffrey Nasty picked to throw shadow on the ICJ exonerating ruling for Serbia. So, on average, at least once a month Croat Jutarnji List is used for special-ops services to foreign groups…. that’s good to know.
