"I Love My Country, But Hate What This Criminal Government Is Doing" CALIFORNIA, May 11 - They say that wars bring out the best and the worst in people. Here's an example of "the best" which we received from a TiM reader in California:
Kent Baldwin, California --- TiM Ed.: We did help this TiM reader with the contacts he had requested, and wished him God speed in his noble endeavor. --------------- 2. NATO, U.S. Censors Try to Muzzle Bosnian Serb TV (Again!) BANJA LUKA, May 13 - While some noble Americans, such as Ken Baldwin, are willing to sacrifice all they have to bring the truth about NATO's criminal activities to the world, the censors of the self-proclaimed leaders of the "free world" are administering the Soviet-style media pressures on the Bosnian Serb TV's broadcasters in Banja Luka. Again. (See "NWO Inquisition in Bosnia"). In a front page feature article, the Wall Street Journal reported today from Banja Luka, the "new" capital of the Bosnian Serb Republic, one of the two "entities" in the NOW-occupied and NATO-policed Bosnia, that the Serbian Radio Television's reporting on the war in Kosovo has angered the authorities. They have ordered it to air certain (western leaders') speeches in full, have sent army officers to threaten to close the station, and have warned that it could lose equipment if it doesn't change its coverage, the Journal said. "A victim of Serbian nationalism? Actually, the speeches involved were by top American officials, the visiting officers were British, and the confiscation threats came from the U.S. Agency for International Development, which had given the broadcaster an editing console and a van," said Daniel Pearl, a Journal "staff reporter," according to the story byline. --- TiM Ed.: Way to demonstrate Klinton Amerika's commitment to freedom of speech! --- Such pressure reflects the two wars the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is fighting in the Balkans, the Journal said. The first involves airstrikes aimed at driving Yugoslav troops from the province of Kosovo. The second war is being waged on the propaganda front.
The U.S. State Department has pushed to replace Mr. Gasic, diplomats say. Five international organizations now monitor SRT. But convincing Bosnian-Serb stations to be more like CNN may be futile, the Journal concludes. "Even the Western-funded stations keep playing up bomb damage and playing down the refugees. And when viewers see Ms. Albright on SRT, they assume it is only because the station is under Western control, says Banja Luka Fiat dealer Ducan Novkovic. 'If they don't follow their orders,' he says, 'they'll be off the air'." --- TiM Ed.: Sounds like a lose-lose proposition for the Washington-Brussels "lie and deny" story spinners. Thankfully. For, they are certainly not fooling many in Bosnia, or elsewhere around the world, who still have a normal supply of gray cells, undiminished by the NWO dumbing-down. --------------- 3. A General-to-General Air War Talk: Novak-to-Clark - Abort Murder! BELGRADE, May 12 - We received the following "Open Letter to General Wesley Clark, SACEUR," written by Major General, Bozo Novak (ret.). The Serb general provides his own introduction:
Gen. Bozo Novak --------------- 4. Gorbachev: NATO Bombs Destroying New World Order MOSCOW, May 12 - Even one of the chief protagonists of the so-called New World Order which emerged after the end of the Cold War; the man who helped destroy his own country in the name of the NWO, Mikhail Gorbachev, is now getting cold feet about the monster he had helped unleash. "It is pure lawlessness and I strongly condemn it," Gorbachev said Tuesday (May 12) while attending a signing ceremony for a joint Russian-Canadian research project in Moscow. "The former Soviet boss said NATO's war against Yugoslavia is a sign of collapsing global order, and it never would have been allowed to happen if the Soviet Union still existed. Russia has lost its former position and ability to influence events, and therefore was unable to prevent this war from occurring in the first place," Gorbachev said. --- TiM Ed.: If it weren't tragic, such a comment is downright funny, coming from the man who helped diminish Russia's influence in the world. --- "This war is a disgrace to all of us who tried to build a new world order based on political methods and a strong role for the United Nations Security Council. Instead we see NATO imposing itself as supreme arbiter, using military power alone". Gorbachev, who led the Soviet Union from 1985 to 1991, is credited with ending his country's participation in the Cold War. But the Soviet Union fell apart, and the West tried to unilaterally impose its own writ upon the world, he said. "At the root of this is the United States' ambitions to dominate the world," he said. "Two-thirds of the world's raw power, concentrated in NATO, is attacking one tiny country." Last weekend's accidental bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade shows the situation is spinning out of control, he said. "NATO is hitting everywhere, not only the Chinese Embassy. Their missiles are even falling on neighboring countries like Bulgaria," he said. ---- TiM Ed.: So maybe we should ask this NWO stooge to put his money where his mouth is, and go to Belgrade to reinforce its citizens' "human shield" guard on the bridges? We all know what the answer would be, right? About the same we would get from the "liberals," like Bill, Hillary or Chelsea Clinton - all big on environmental protection words; but short on guts. --------------- 5. Where Are the Phony Western "Liberals" Now That Europe's Danube Basin's Ecology Is Being Destroyed? BELGRADE, May 13 - We've received word today from Serbia that the Yugoslav government has prohibited fishing on the Danube downstream from Pancevo, where NATO's repeated bombings of the chemical factories have released the dangerous toxins into Europe's longest waterway (see TiM Special Bulletin Day 26, Update 1, Item 2, Apr. 18 - filed from Serbia). For those who can't tell the Danube from the Amazon, a look at the map of Europe will show that Danube's downstream waters take all this pollution into Romania and Bulgaria, both Serbia's neighbors whose governments have pledged their cooperation with NATO's air strikes. Anybody still remember the ecological somersaults through which the American "liberals" went over the (ACCIDENTAL!) Exxon "Valdez" oil spill? Where are these people now that Europe's ecology is being DELIBERATELY destroyed by the NATO "humanitarians?" Where are the "save the Earth" demonstrators protecting the Dead Fish of the Danube, the way Brigitte Bardot and other supposed "greens" acted on behalf of the seals? Or are the "Serb fish" (along the Serbian portion of Europe's Danube) less worthy of protection, just like the Serb civilians, seem more expendable than the Canadian seals? By their silence in the face of the Danube basin's ecological disaster, not to mention NATO's crimes against humanity, such phony western "liberals" are showing the world what they really are - accomplices of the NWO FASCISTS who are trying to destroy a European civilization. Along with its fish... (an early Christianity sign). --------------- 6. A Serb Poet (1907): "We Know Our Fate" PHOENIX, May 13 - A TiM reader has just sent us an English translation of a poem, written by a Serb poet, Aleksa Santic (pronounced Shantich). The poem was composed in 1907, when the Austrian-Hungarian empire annexed Bosnia - as a prelude and cause of the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand in 1914, and the WW I which ensued. "This Serb poem is as appropriate for the Kosovo situation in 1999," this reader said. Judge it for yourself: WE KNOW OUR FATE We know our fate and what to expect from life, Yet, our hearts will not freeze in fear! Oxen are forced the yoke to bear, God gave freedom to all men alike.
Our strength is like a mountain river's sway, No one will ever stop its flow! How to face death these people know, If free to stay there is no other way. We know our path, the path of God-the-son, And mighty like a mountain river's flow.
We will go even over the sharpest stones, Ready to climb the Golgotha all the way. And even if you take our only lives away, Our graves will stay to fight you on! --- TiM Ed.: We suggest that the above poem be introduced as mandatory reading by the attendees of the U.S. War College. Lest its graduates lead the American government into suffering a foolhardy defeat at the hand of the Serbian gravestones, just as the Ottoman empire did at the Kosovo Polje (Kosovo Field) in 1389. It was a battle the Turks thought they had won. Only to lose it 500+ years hence. To the Serb Kosovo gravestones. Also, check out...
