NATO war against Yugoslavia based on lies
Timur Blokhin and Iovanna Vukotic

Germany joined the war against Yugoslavia under the pretense of fabricated facts. The sensational confession of German policeman Henning Hentz, who served in the OSCE in Kosovo in the 1990s, confirmed that.

The reason here is that photographs taken by Hentz in late January 1999 were used by then-German Defence Minister Rudolf Scharping to justify the immediate interference of NATO in the Kosovo conflict. He presented the photographs of militants killed in Rugovo as photos of innocent Albanian victims.

What did really happen in Kosovo in late January of 1999, several months before NATO launched its operation against Yugoslavia?

According to Serbian sources, more than two dozen Kosovo Liberation Army terrorists were killed in Rugovo, while the Western mass media insisted that at least nine of them were civilians. Particularly, the daily New York Times wrote with the reference to a local field commander that there were only four KLA militants in the village and he knew nothing about other people. On January 29 OSCE mission representative Henning Hentz was in Rugovo. He shared his impression of the visit with Voice of Russia correspondent Iovanna Vukotic, which gives a real picture of what happened. He said that this had nothing to do with the killing of Albanian civilians.

"We discovered 25 bodies, including 11 in a bus and some others near the vehicle. Several other bodies were laying in a barn which was used as a garage. The territory around the barn was covered with snow but there were no tracks. I thought that the bodies were brought there from another location and, most likely, a day before the clash between Serb police and KLA militants," Henning Hentz said.

At the time, German Defence Minister Rudolf Scharping showed only some of the photos taken by Henning Hentz and for some reason said those were taken by a German officer. He deliberately ignored the photos that clearly showed the dead bodies of KLA militants. So, Scharping managed to convince the public that "bad guys" or Serbs were again killing innocent Albanians and provoked a wave of refugees, says Hentz.

"For Germans, this meant that they would be involved in a military operation for the first time after the Second World War. My impression is that the situation in Kosovo at the time was exaggerated. When I visited Kosovo, there was no necessity for Albanians to leave their homes en masse. A real exodus started with the beginning of the bombing. A major part of the report on the Kosovo situation was exaggerated and was always against Serbs," Henning Hentz added.

Ethnic cleansing in Kosovo was used as a pretext for bombing Yugoslavia. And the incident in the village of Rugovo shows once again that the PR campaign against Belgrade was organized using obvious forgeries.

Reportedly, NATO started thinking about an invasion after the killing of 40 civilian Albanians in Racak. However, experts who studied the forensic reports concluded that there was no evidence proving that the killed were civilians, and that they were killed by Serbian servicemen.

This technology is being used even now. For example, photos taken in Iraq in 2003 are used in news broadcasts to show the deaths of Syrian civilians. The dramatic effect is achieved by using photo editing programmes. For example, a Syrian family walking in the streets of an ordinary city is shown in a photo against a background of ruined buildings. Ultimately, they achieve the necessary effect. In the 19th century, the prominent Russian gnomic (pseudonymous) poet Kozma Prutkov said: If you read the world buffalo on a cell of an elephant, please, do not believe it.

Truly, in the 19th century, there was no high-tech to make a fly from an elephant as well as genocide from contract killing.

Serbian president Nikolic warns of Kosovo genocide

The Serbian president has claimed Serbs in Kosovo are living under the threat of genocide and would not rule out a partition between ethnic Serb and Albanian regions of the former province.

Tomislav Nikolic, a former ultra-nationalist, was elected in May on a more moderate platform. But in a Guardian interview he criticised Kosovo, whose independence Serbia and its allies refuse to recognise.

He signalled his intention to take a tougher stance than his predecessor in EU-brokered negotiations, arguing that until now only Serbia had been asked to make concessions in efforts to defuse the dispute and it would now demand more concessions from Pristina.

"What compromise has been done by Pristina up to now? None. All the talks have been on things Serbia will accept. Serbia hasn't set any conditions," he said. "It's not a compromise if Serbia is always backtracking step by step. It's not a compromise if Pristina says its independence is recognised and that it will realise its independence on our territory."

A Serb enclave around the northern half of the divided city of Mitrovica refuses to accept rule from the ethnic Albanian government in Pristina, the focus of tension since Kosovo declared its independence in 2008.

Its independence has been recognised by the UK, the US and most western states, but not by Russia, China and a majority of the UN general assembly.

Kosovo's leadership has repeatedly called for the international community to help it extend its authority into the Mitrovica enclave and has been increasingly assertive in its efforts to force the issue.

Nikolic said any attempt to impose Pristina's rule could lead to a Serb exodus. "What if the Serbs move out. Who will accept the results of such genocide? That is one of the definitions of genocide: when you expel 40,000 people, regardless of whether they are women, men, [civilians or] soldiers, and when you change the ethnic composition of the territory. That is genocide.

"There is a danger that Pristina would be prepared to go that far. The only armed force there, apart from the international community, is Albanian. I am convinced they wouldn't mind doing that immediately." He added that the only thing preventing such action was the presence of Nato troops.

Nikolic underlined an earlier declaration that he would never exercise power in Pristina, and called on his Kosovan counterpart, Atifete Jahjaga, to admit she would never govern in northern Mitrovica. Asked whether that implied the partition of Kosovo, he replied: "I don't know, because if you told me 20 years ago there would be no Yugoslavia, I wouldn't have believed you. If you told me Serbia and Montenegro would split, I would have also told you that was impossible. I would also have said that Germany would never reunite, but life brings us surprises. I can't run policy by imagining things."

During the wars that split Yugoslavia in the 1990s, Nikolic was a senior member of the Serbian Radical party. Its leader, Vojislav Seselj, is currently on trial at The Hague facing charges of crimes against humanity for atrocities carried out by the White Eagles paramilitary group under his command. According to Serbian political observers, Nikolic took no direct part in the paramilitary wing; however, he staunchly defended it in the Guardian interview.

"I have committed no crime. And I am not ashamed of anything I have done since 1990 to today … These so-called paramilitary units were in line with the then constitution of Yugoslavia," he said. "In that time, I was aware that everybody must do everything he can to defend his people and country … All peoples from the former Yugoslav took part in the war. Some of them to gain states; the Serbs to save a state. But the Serbs did not manage to accomplish their task."

Nikolic claimed the fact that the Serbs lost the war explained why there were more Serbs than other ethnicities facing charges at the war crimes tribunal, and not that it was Serbs under Slobodan Milosevic who committed the majority of atrocities.

"There are fewer members of other nations and their sentences are somewhat milder. So the Serb people tend to believe that justice is not equal for everyone. But we have accepted the jurisdiction of the Hague tribunal and we therefore accept its judgments," Nikolic said, adding that the perception of bias left a "bitter taste".

He refused to confirm whether he would have handed over senior Serb war crimes suspects such as Radovan Karadzic or Ratko Mladic to The Hague as his predecessor in the presidency, Boris Tadic, had done.

Nikolic also repeated his denial that the mass killings of Muslims from the Bosnian town of Srebrenica in July 1995 constituted genocide: "I cannot go further than the Serbian parliament," he said. In March 2010, the parliament issued an apology for the massacre that did not explicitly use the word genocide but recognised declaration by the the international court of justice which defined it as such.

Last week the Serbian parliament approved the appointment as prime minister of Ivica Dacic, a former spokesman for the Milosevic regime. The ascent of Nikolic and Dacic has raised fears in the west and in Kosovo of a resurgence of militant Serb nationalism.

Hashim Thaci, Kosovo's prime minister told the Guardian on Sunday: "The legacy that the current Serbia's leadership has, is the one that really does not promise much. However, this came as a result of a democratic process that took place in Serbia and the will of people out there should be respected. I have no intention to judge the current leadership of Serbia based on the deeds they did on the past, I will judge them based on the deeds they will do now and on and particular in relationship to Kosovo."

Thaci rejected Nikolic's claims the Serbs of Mitrovica would be endangered by Pristina's rule. "One should not forget this fact because two-thirds of the Serbs live in the southern part of Kosovo and are fully integrated and in charge of the self governance on the local level and participate in all institutions on the central level," he said.

Nikolic said his greatest challenge was to fill the estimated $3bn (£2bn) hole in the budget. He asked for international assistance and claimed his country's needs were small in comparison with the scale of the eurozone crisis, but warned creditors against making their help conditional on Serbia making concessions over Kosovo.

"Maybe someone thought we were ready to make various concessions if we were poor. But we expect the international community and our friends to help us to recover the economy in line with their duties and obligations," he said. "We don't want be treated like country cousins."

Clinton 'use Srebrenica to crack down on Serbs' - witnesses. -Guskova

... In an interview with Dani magazine, Meholich recited the words of Izetbegovic addressed to the delegation from Srebrenica: "You should know that Clinton suggested to me in April 1993 that the 'četnici' forces should enter Srebrenica, slaughter five thousand Muslims, and then a military intervention will occur." But were there any victims? ... ... Under pressure of the European Union, the Serbs acknowledged their guilt, and in March 2010, the Serbian Assembly expressed apology for the committed crimes. However, they should not have done it until all the circumstances of the events in Srebrenica were clarified and made public. Otherwise it will be a heavy load to bear for all the Serbian people, because it will confirm NATO's version of the Serbs' guilt for everything that happened in the Balkans in the nineties and serve as justification for the bombings in 1999. [ The Hill-Bill Clintons are directing all of us to the abyss. Who let those two out of Arkansas? ] From: dw Sent: Friday, July 13, 2012 2:56 PM http://english.ruvr.ru/2012_07_11/Clinton-suggested-extermination-of-5000-Muslims-in-Srebrenica/ Bill Clinton 'suggested using Srebrenica to crack down on Serbs' - witnesses Voice of Russia Yelena Guskova Jul 11, 2012   Photo: EPA The Hague Tribunal has resumed legal proceedings in the case of Serbian General Ratko Mladic, who is accused of committing genocide against Muslims in the town of Srebrenica in Bosnia and Herzegovina in July 1995. The Director of the Center for the Study of the Contemporary Balkan Crisis of the RAS Institute of Slavic Studies Elena Guskova stated once again that genocide did not take place: "Today, the case of Srebrenica has become a subject of political speculation, in which the Serbs are being involved, although more and more data appears that Srebrenica was a premeditated and well-executed operation of the Muslim intelligence services. The lie about Srebrenica spreads around the world, and it becomes more and more difficult to fight against it. Srebrenica has become a synonym for the genocide of the Muslim population, allegedly committed by the Serbian troops in July 1995. Back then, manipulations with the numbers of victims had already started, and in 2009, the European Parliament announced July 11 the 'Day of memory of the Genocide in Srebrenica, where the Bosnian Serb forces killed 8000 civilians in 1995.' However, the number of victims is not confirmed by the facts." Of late, documents and materials appearing confirm a different version of the events in Srebrenica and correct the number of victims. Participants of the events have begun to speak out, documents from some countries' intelligence services are being published, journalists and scientists – including western colleagues – are carrying out serious research. The UN Secretary General's Report on the downfall of Srebrenica (1999) notes that some Bosnians from Srebrenica claimed that "President Izetbegovic... told them that, as he had learned, NATO's intervention in Bosnia and Herzegovina was possible, but only in the event if Serbs invaded Srebrenica and killed at least 5000 of its inhabitants." Hakiye Meholich, a former head of Srebrenica police, confirmed this. In an interview with Dani magazine, Meholich recited the words of Izetbegovic addressed to the delegation from Srebrenica: "You should know that Clinton suggested to me in April 1993 that the 'četnici' forces should enter Srebrenica, slaughter five thousand Muslims, and then a military intervention will occur." But were there any victims? From among 2442 bodies found in mass graves in 2003-2006, which had been allegedly executed in July 1995, 914 of them participated in the elections in September 1996. The analysis of the forensic investigation carried out by experts of the Hague Tribunal based on processing remains from mass graves shows that in 92.4% of cases, the cause of death was not formally established. A thorough demographical analysis of Srebrenica's population before and after the July of 1995 provides very interesting results. The men registered as being alive after a month following the July events in the total number of registered refugees and servicemen of the 28th division of Bosnia and Herzegovina's Army is a little bigger than in July 1995. There is not a single witness either among the UN peacekeeping forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina, or among the numerous journalists who saw the alleged genocide in Srebrenica back in July 1995 with their own eyes. Under pressure of the European Union, the Serbs acknowledged their guilt, and in March 2010, the Serbian Assembly expressed apology for the committed crimes. However, they should not have done it until all the circumstances of the events in Srebrenica were clarified and made public. Otherwise it will be a heavy load to bear for all the Serbian people, because it will confirm NATO's version of the Serbs' guilt for everything that happened in the Balkans in the nineties and serve as justification for the bombings in 1999.

 

Bosnia Connection: Bill Clinton and Islamist ratlines in Bosnia assisted September 11

 

Bosnia Connection: Bill Clinton and Islamist ratlines in Bosnia assisted September 11

 

Murad Makhmudov and Lee Jay Walker

 

Modern Tokyo Times

 

 

Osama bin Laden wasn't articulate and media savvy like Bill Clinton who was the leader of the United States between January 1993 and January 2001. After all, whatever Osama bin Laden was he did at least speak honestly with regards to his intentions. However, Bill Clinton had a host of special advisors, an unquestioning media to ply his propaganda, and he could keep a straight face when manipulating language in order to fulfill his policy agenda.

 

Today all over the world people have to pay enormous airport taxes because of tightened security after September 11. This is also ironic. After all, the same security agencies in countless nations somehow missed around 8,000 International Islamists who travelled to Bosnia and Kosovo, in order to kill Orthodox Christians during the Bosnian and Kosovo wars. Of course, for the mass media which ignored this vital reality during the Bosnian war, it sums up the "propaganda machine" whereby senior politicians, special advisers, trained media corporate specialists, covert operatives, and other unsavory realities, work hand in hand.

 

The same grim reality is now happening in Syria whereby Islamists, the US and the United Kingdom policy objectives work in tandem. The usual players like Saudi Arabia and Turkey are also on board. At the same time the media war is in full swing once more in order to "serve the agenda" of Washington, London, Paris, Riyadh, and other powerful nations involved in destabilizing Syria.

 

However, the one main difference with Bosnia and Syria is that Iran is now fully aware that their past adventures in the Balkans merely assisted Islamists who deem Shia Muslims, Alawites and Orthodox Christians to be equal infidels and worthy of killing. During the war in Bosnia both the United States and Iran were on the same side. Also, Osama bin Laden negated his anti-Shia policy objective which meant the "marriage of convenience was a threesome." This is the reality of what befell the Bosnian Serbs but somehow this was mainly ignored during the entire conflict.

 

September 11 and international terrorism – why no investigation into Bill Clinton and his administration?

 

The Bill Clinton administration gave the "green light" for international Islamists to enter Bosnia and Kosovo. In time this would manifest itself with the brutal September 11 attacks against America and other international terrorist attacks like Madrid. Bill Clinton isn't the only American leader to "support international terrorism from a distance" but clearly it is no coincidence that conflict in Libya, and now in Syria, bare all the same hallmarks of "a marriage of convenience." This certainly leads to the suspicion that the Clinton family – this time Hillary Clinton along with the "dark shadows" of people like Zbigniew Brzezinski – are following the same ratlines in Syria which have been used in Afghanistan, Bosnia, Kosovo and Libya.

 

Abu Zubair al-Haili (Mohammed Haydar Zammar) entered Bosnia in order to kill Orthodox Christians and clearly this individual, like countless others, was given the Bill Clinton "Green Light" to enter Bosnia. Abu Zubair al-Haili was instrumental in the Hamburg al-Qaeda cell that helped the September 11 network to flourish. He further developed his skills in terrorism and hatred towards non-Muslims in Bosnia which was fertile ground because of the Bill Clinton administration.

 

Abu Zubair al-Haili was also instrumental in bringing Mohammed Atta into the al-Qaeda network. Clearly, the actions of Abu Zubair al-Haili in Bosnia gave him further credentials. Mohammed (Mohamed) Atta rewarded America's support of Islamic terrorist networks from "a convenient distance" by blowing up the World Trade Center.

 

American Airlines Flight 77 also had a powerful Bosnian connection because two Islamists on board had also gone to Bosnia to kill Orthodox Christians. Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon but of course very few questions were raised about these Islamists being on the same side of America under Bill Clinton. However, Nawaf Alhazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar had served in Bosnia. Also, coming from the land of "institutional religious hatred," Saudi Arabia, then clearly killing infidels would have been ingrained within the House of War theory.

Indeed, it is remarkable that no connection between the policies of Bill Clinton in the Balkans and September 11, haven't resulted in arrests or at least an open Senate hearing whereby he should testify to the American public. Surely, with 13 out of 19 terrorists of September 11 being connected to Bosnia and Kosovo then surely this must raise eyebrows? Apparently, the American public must be "extremely forgiving" because despite the thousands of American people who died on September 11 the connection between Bosnia, Kosovo and the "green light" by the Bill Clinton administration, appears to not be on the agenda.

 

The idea of counter-terrorism is to research how terrorist networks spread their ideology and so forth and then to "cut off the ratlines" or clampdown on areas of weakness within national security. Also, ratlines that enable terrorist networks to flourish should be held accountable. However, with 13 of 19 Islamists who did September 11 belonging to the side of the policies of the Bill Clinton administration in the Balkans, then it does get rather confusing. Bill Clinton, just like Zbigniew Brzezinski, will not "bat an eyelid" but clearly the Islamist ratlines that enabled September 11, point in the direction of the US and Islamist "marriage of convenience." This "marriage of convenience" applies to Afghanistan, Bosnia and Kosovo and in the modern period it is once more coming alive in Syria.

 

French Intelligence documents stipulate that Mohammed Atta visited Bosnia on three different occasions between 1994 and 1999. This follows on that not only were Islamists going to Bosnia and Kosovo to kill Orthodox Christians but they were also planning other international terrorist attacks. The Bill Clinton administration by giving the "green light" in the Balkans to international Islamists was also violating every counter-terrorist approach that you have. After all, with 13 out of 19 Islamists being based in Bosnia and Kosovo then this "breathing space" enabled many international terrorist plots to be planned without any checks by external security agencies. This can be seen by the fact that the September 11 plot materialized and clearly the terrain of Bosnia and Kosovo enabled long-term strategies to go unanswered.

 

Two American nationals who were beheaded also witness the Bosnia connection. Daniel Pearl was beheaded according to viable sources by Khalid Shaikh Mohammed after being lured by Ahmad Omar Saeed Sheikh. Khalid Shaikh Mohammed fought as a Mujahideen fighter in Bosnia with glee and like fellow Mujahideen fighters he would have enjoyed torturing Orthodox Christians given the chance. Likewise, Ahmad Omar Saeed Sheikh was radicalized in Bosnia.

 

Another American national beheaded was Paul Marshall Johnson (Jnr.) who was killed by supporters of Abdulaziz Issa Abdul-Moshin al-Muqrin. This al-Qaeda leader in Saudi Arabia had also served in Bosnia and this fueled his hatred to an even higher degree. Not only this, the training he received in Bosnia enhanced his skills and gave him further credibility. It also hints that Saudi Arabia is "open" to international terrorists but will not allow al-Qaeda cells which threaten internal security.

 

The deplorable terrorist attack on Madrid also witness the Bosnia Muslim connection because 11 individuals involved in this cell had been to Bosnia. The "green light" that the Bill Clinton administration gave to Islamic terrorist networks to attack Bosnian Serbs was clearly "a policy fraught with danger." However, this policy which was "fraught with danger" only applies to the innocent deaths of American, Bosnian Serbs, Spanish nationals, and others, who have died because of the "marriage of convenience" between the Bill Clinton administration and international terrorist networks. After all, this policy which was "fraught with danger" doesn't apply to Bill Clinton because "his policies have largely been ignored."

Therefore, just like Zbigniew Brzezinski and his ratlines to Afghanistan – it is clear that elites escape all democratic institutions in America because they are not being held accountable for "the chains of hatred" under their sphere of influence.

 

The bottom line is simple. September 11 and the ratlines that did this were the same individuals who were fighting on the same side of America in Afghanistan, Bosnia and Kosovo. Simply put, no Bosnian Orthodox Christians and communists in Afghanistan did September 11. On the contrary, individuals involved in September 11 were on the same side in Afghanistan, Bosnia and Kosovo – yet this question remains unanswered. Likewise, no accountability! Put frankly, without past American administrations supporting Islamic terrorist ratlines either covertly or by doing nothing to stem the flow of Islamists, then September 11 would never have materialized.

 

It is dangerous therefore to see America once more moving in the same direction related to Syria. The Clinton family connection and the shadows of people like Zbigniew Brzezinski are very troubling because the same modus operandi is happening once more against the people of Syria. Therefore, the lessons learnt from September 11 have been lost and individuals within the chain that enabled this tragic event to happen have escaped their past deeds.

Vladimir vs Bilderberg

Vladimir vs Bilderberg

11.06.2012 20:20

By Xavier Lerma

Vladimir  Putin has been busier than Obama making excuses recently with trips to China and talks with leaders from Iran and Afghanistan.  Self interests aside, he clearly demonstrates a desire in defending Russia and nurturing Russia's future. However, like any good farmer, he's found many weeds sown by the enemy. The new law passed recently is a sword that protects Russian citizens and attacks people like McFaul, Soros and their Bilderberg friends.

Michael McFaul

This year in January, Obama's Unites States was so kind to send a new ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul.  He's no stranger to Russia.  Being a generous man, he helped bring chaos and misery to Russia in the 90's. You would think his Russian would be better than it is today but he doesn't really care. As he said,

"Most Russia-watchers are diplomats, or specialists on security and arms control. Or Russian culture. I am neither. I can't recite Pushkin by heart. I am a specialist in democracy, anti-dictatorial movements, and revolutions"

In other words he is a no account trouble maker. He paid people to protest during the Russian presidential election and like a disease they passed it on. He admits meeting with protesters when an NTV reporter asked him in this video (English subtitles). He has admitted in the past that the US was involved in the color Revolutions in the Ukraine and Georgia. He gladly wrote,

"Does this kind of intervention violate international norms? Not anymore."

Revolutions

McFeisty McFaul,  Gene Sharp with George Soros as his sponsor, are experts in starting color revolutions. It always seems to involve the US. Soros, who favors Romney now since he gave up on Obama, has been spreading "democracy" for years as a Bilderberger.  By the late 1990s, Soros gave $400 million annually for "democracy" programs in Europe. Unfortunately, the world has lost count since he spreads his wealth everywhere. When they say "spreading democracy" it means chaos and death as was prevalent in their Arab Spring.

Well, keep spreading the joy McFaul. Almost everyone loves money. Only this time "Vlad, Your Impaler", is making a few changes. The new Russian law that was passed by the Lower Duma in May, was signed by President Putin on June 8^th  in this video. The law increases fines for illegal protests and protesters not willing to behave. Masks and weapons are now illegal. Leaders of the protests cannot have violated the law two or more times within a year. That leaves out a lot of McFaul's buddies. Too bad so sad. Protesters stepping over the line can get 20 to 200 hours of community service, for a maximum of four days a week. President Putin said,

"In enabling some of the public to express their opinions, including street action,

 a society must also protect the rest of the public from radicalism."

As I wrote in my article about the Bilderberg meeting, "...you can be sure few Russians are there. There are hateful critics of Russia's beloved Vladimir Putin like Garry Kasparov (Chairman) of the United Civil Front." There were two others there that cannot be overlooked. Igor Ivanov,President, Russian International Affairs Council, who was succeeded by Sergey Lavrov as foreign minister in 2004, dislikes Putin. Anatoly Chubais, , CEO of OJSC RUSNANO, is one of those who gutted Russia like a fish in the 90's and hates Putin for having the gall to stop him.

Of course, little Anatoly is also a friend of McFaul who was part of that Russian fish fry that illegally stole money from Russia. We know they have received new orders from the Bilderbergers to start another revolution in Russia or cause some other kind of misery. The question is, why do they waste their time in Russia? According to Wikileaks, even McFaul gets nervous around Putin. Never send a boy to do a man's job. I'm sure Putin laughs at their pathetic attempts.

Political Chess Master

President Putin is a chess master in world affairs and in protecting Russia. Nazi Germany underestimated Russia as the Communists underestimated Christianity. Naturally, the Bilderbergers underestimate Vladimir Putin, whom they have tried to assassinate this year in a video where US backed terrorist Doku Umarov is implicated. The Bilderbergers killed Kennedy and shot Reagan but they cannot kill their old nemesis who destroys their plans of world domination. In their NWO they demonize Putin who they incorrectly claim to be a Communist even though Zyuganov is the Communist leader and most Communists hate Putin like they do. You'd think the Bilderbergers would join the Communists openly and wear hammer and sickle T-shirts like they do in Chicago. FYI for the brainwashed, President Vladimir Putin has been and still is a member of the United Russia party whose symbol is a polar bear.

Vladimir Putin was born on the feast day of St Michael. Michael means, "Who is like unto God". In response to the pompous Bilderbergers, President Putin has kindly said, "Who the Hell are you?!" and has pushed Russia's enemies back wherever they have attacked. He has a solid team ready to help him and the blessings from God to protect him in this video, as well as millions of Russians who are not afraid to defend their faith when it's attacked. I know it won't stop the Bilderbergers since God is not part of their equation, but in the end it will.

China

President Putin was in China last June 5 - 7 in this unique video. He met Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Zhang Zhijun in Beijing on Tuesday. Putin met with President Hu Jintao and attended a summit meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). The SCO includes Russia, China, and four Central Asian nations - Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. Afghanistan received the status of an observer in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) last Thursday in this video where President Vladimir Putin congratulated Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai. Now, that's the way you treat Afghanistan.

He's unifying the East and making a profit for Russia and those countries involved. A big business opportunity: Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree abolishing visas for Russian and foreigners owning business cards and office visits from countries participating in the forum, APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) held in Vladivostok next September.

Iran

Needless to say, the western MSM ignored videos like this one, "Putin 2012  Iran", where President Putin lays down the law for Ahmadinejad. He not only wanted to expand business dealings with Iran in the Caspian Sea but also said,

"We have always supported the right of the Iranians to use the latest technology, including peaceful nuclear energy. I want to stress this - peaceful. You know where we stand on this: we faithfully adhere to non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. But we also know where you stand, where Iran's government stands. Your position is that Iran is not developing nuclear weapons. and this is what we base everything on."

Lest we forget, it was Medvedev as president who cancelled the sale of S-300 missiles to Iran after Bibi cried to Putin. So, not only does Iran not have any long range missiles they do not have enough uranium to complete a nuclear weapon.  Israel, on the other hand, has 300 nuclear warheads ready to launch at any time.

Keep in mind Vladimir Putin always gets his way. Since he was a young man he knew how to be top dog, which is why he became a Judo expert. He verifies his position with Ahmadinejad as well as the rest of the world. He's willing to work with any country so long as their willing to work with him. Regarding the US/NATO missiles pointed at Russia, Putin said when he was in Paris recently,

"We are constantly being told that the missile defense system is not directed against Russia. We would like to receive military and technological guarantees fixed in legally binding documents,"

What's wrong with the US putting it on paper? Reagan did it. Then again, he was never a Bilderberger and the Bilderbergs will make damn sure a Reagan will never become president. So, was that a warning shot fired by Russia over Israel and Syria? I wouldn't be surprised.

Serbia’s stern diplomatic rearguard action over Kosovo

The UN General Assembly

An unusual and interesting vote has taken place at the United Nations, to decide who will be president of the UN General Assembly for 2012/2013. Serbia’s youthful Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic, aged just 36, has won a tight race, beating Lithuanian UN ambassador Dalius Cekuolis by 99 – 85 votes, despite intense lobbying for Cekuolis from Washington and other Western capitals.

That largely symbolic position rotates between five UN “regional groups”. In this case it was the Eastern European Group’s turn. The EEG is an anomalous cluster of 23 more or less European countries previously under Communist rule. It includes, of course, Russia.

The position had been uncontested since 1991, the different regional groupings deciding for themselves in turn which unopposed candidate to put forward. This time it was different. Lithuania’s candidate had expected to get the group’s nomination, but Jeremic entered the running. Lithuania accused Russia of pushing Jeremic into the contest to punish Lithuania for insisting that the end of the Second World War had brought freedom to western Europe, but for Lithuania only Soviet occupation and new oppression. A wider new Russian political power-play to re-affirm influence at the UN and elsewhere? Probably.

Jeremic is an able and ambitious operator. Armed with a degree in physics from Cambridge and a Masters from the Harvard Kennedy School, he was a leader in the student opposition to Milosevic – I remember him well from those halcyon days. He quickly rose through the ranks of advisers to different Serbian ministers and was appointed Serbia’s foreign minister in 2007, where he has made a name for himself by lobbying feverishly round the planet against the recognition of Kosovo.

Jeremic’s insistence that Kosovo is not independent – even though many countries have recognised it – has met with mixed success. The number of recognitions creeps up towards half the world’s states. It now stands at 91 countries, with Brunei and Chad joining the throng in recent weeks. Jeremic pushed hard for the International Court of Justice advisory opinion on Kosovo in 2010 that was widely seen as an embarrassing defeat for Serbia’s position.

Nonetheless many of the world’s largest countries (China, India, Russia, Brazil, Indonesia) stand firmly behind Belgrade, and show no signs of shifting position. Jeremic’s votes at the UN will have come mainly from states that have enjoyed watching the broader European camp at the UN stand disunited and that for one reason or the other wanted to give the “Western” view of world affairs poke in the eye.

Jeremic has played craftily on Serbia’s “Yugoslav” credentials to drum up support. During the Cold War Yugoslavia’s communist leader Tito helped build up the Non-Aligned Movement, a group of states that proclaimed themselves independent of “bloc politics” but usually sided with a Soviet approach to human rights and freedom. This policy gave Belgrade a massive international profile: Tito’s funeral in 1980 saw the then largest ever gathering of world leaders.

You’ll be surprised (or not) to hear that the NAM still lingers on, long after the world of “blocs” has given way to today’s messy “multi-polarity”. After Milosevic fell, Serbia left the group to signify that it was indeed now ‘aligned’ with mainstream Western and European democratic processes, but it has kept an active observer status. Last year Serbia spent money it can ill afford hosting a NAM party to celebrate a non-event, the 50th anniversary of the NAM’s first summit meeting in Belgrade. Jeremic has used networking events like this to press hard Serbia’s case against Kosovo.

In short, to defend its Kosovo position Serbia draws on a long tradition of nimble, cynical diplomacy in Belgrade, striking positions that are both “European” and “non-aligned” simultaneously. This idea of being non-aligned (keeping open options for unexpected unfathomable improvizacija) goes deep into the political culture in Serbia. I recall my final conversation with Serbia’s Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic in March 2003 just a couple of days before he was murdered. He said that Serbia would do everything it needed to do to tick the boxes for EU membership – and only then decide whether to join!

Djindjic’s point echoed a good Balkan joke. A customs officer dies and ends up outside the Gates of Heaven. St Peter mulls the options: “You were appallingly corrupt and dishonest, but you did love your family and support some good causes – should I let you into Heaven, or send you to Hell?” The quick reply comes back: “If it’s OK with you, I’ll stay on the border.”

Meanwhile the election of the more nationalist/populist Tomislav Nikolic as Serbia’s President has given a mandate to the defiant tendency in Serbia’s political spectrum. It has not taken long for Nikolic to park himself on the existential border between ‘Europe and ‘Russia’ by making warm noises in Moscow and stirring up angry concern elsewhere in the region and in many Western capitals by ducking and weaving on whether the Srebrenica massacre was genocide.

This sets things up nicely for 2015 when Serbia chairs the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) for the first time. Serbia was acceptable for that significant leadership position only because it ran on a joint ticket with Switzerland (OSCE Chair in 2014) and so in effect agreed not to use its 2015 position to make things even more difficult for Europe on the Kosovo question.

As far as Kosovo is concerned, Serbia faces the reality that most EU states have recognised Kosovo and that without some sort of political settlement it will not achieve EU membership. But Serbia also knows (as does Kosovo) that Kosovo is going nowhere important without full international recognition. Deep in the undergrowth of diplomacy fierce battles rumble on to decide whether Kosovo makes it eg into the Eurovision Song Contest and European and global sporting bodies. Determined opposition led by Russia usually swings things Belgrade’s way. Serbia is a 100 per cent internationally recognised state with levers to pull. Kosovo isn’t

Underpinning all this is the hard fact that Russia (with China) can block any move by the UN Security Council to propose Kosovo as a full UN member, and without that top-level acknowledgement of statehood many sporting and other international organisations prefer to avoid the problem.

With Vuk Jeremic presiding over the UN General Assembly in 2013 and then Serbia’s OSCE Chairmanship to follow, Kosovo can see its sluggish progress towards full recognition going even slower for a good while to come. Time to heave a sigh and cut a messy deal with Belgrade?
