According to the British press, in the weeks that preceded the bombing of American embassies, the CIA broke into the KLA office in Tirana and drove off with a truck load of documents. Three days later the CIA arrested 3 of Osama bin Laden's men being trained for mercenary activities in Kosovo. Bin Laden threatened there would be a price to pay if his men were not released. The price was our embassies. In a September 14th, 1998 article in the Jerusalem Post, Israeli intelligence revealed that Iranian mercenaries or Mujahideen were filtered into the KLA and that these men were trained in Osama bin Laden's terrorist camps in Afghanistan.

Congressman Eliot Engle stood in the square in Pristina last year and told his Albanian audience that he would one day return as the Ambassador to an independent Kosovo. Such shocking statements incited more violence. After Congressman DiGuordi lost his bid for reelection he became a foreign agent representing Kosovo Albanian interests. When Congressman Frank McCloskey lost his bid for reelection, he, too, became a foreign agent and now represents the Bosnian Muslims. When Larry Presslor lost his bid for reelection last year, the senator became a representative of the shadow government of Kosovo. In what is being promoted as the best economy in 3 decades it is most compelling that officials are having a difficult time finding gainful employment in their own country. I suspect the scent of money has a hypnotic influence over such 'outdated' values as patriotism.

Last August in Kosovo, 22 Serbian victims were massacred by the Kosovo Liberation Army who dismembered their victims and burned them in ovens-a hideous duplication of the horrors of the Holocaust. There was no American outcry, nor was there an Israeli voice, reminding the world of their "Never Again" theory. Following the killing of 5 Serbian policemen last month in Racak, the Serbian police invited the Associated Press to film their advance into Racak to arrest the perpetrators. The AP footage reveals that 15 KLA were killed in a pitched battle.

The stage-managed crime scene in Racak had a dozen spent shells that could not have possibly killed 45 victims. The brains blown from the skulls of a number of victims shot in the head at point blank range are nowhere to be found.

Remember Sarajevo 1995? Muslims blew up their own people in a marketplace to provoke NATO to bomb the Serbs. It worked. The London Sunday Times headline on October 1, 1995, read: "Serbs not guilty of massacre, experts warned the US, mortar was Bosnian." The UN confirmed the report.

Remember Srebrenica? Madeleine Albright showed the world satellite photographs of the mass grave of 7,000 victims that turned out to be a hoax. Mike Wallace and dozens of international journalists went to investigate, all coming away empty handed. Is it true that Naser Oric, the Muslim commander of the so-called safe haven of Srebrenica escaped with 5,000 of his troops before Srebrenica fell to the Serbs according to ICRC document #13 in September of 1995? That Oric showed visiting journalists videotapes of his torture and decapitation of dozens of Serb victims? Is it true that he has not been indicted and now runs a discotheque in Tuzla?

Remember the

- Hill & Knowlton public relations stunt about incubator babies in the Gulf War that turned out to be a hoax?

- Gulf of Tonkin hoax?

- Maine?

William Walker said the Racak massacre was the worst he has seen. I think not. This is convenient amnesia with overtones of duplicity. During Walker's diplomatic tenure in El Salvador, death squads, trained in the US, decapitated thousands of victims. Their heads placed on pikes were used to dot the countryside, according to Father Daniel Santiago and former Attorney General, Ramsey Clark.

In 1989 the Serbian bishop of Kosovo was nearly beaten to death by a gang of Albanian teenagers. He spent 3 months in the hospital nearly dying of his wounds. This was not just any priest, this bishop is the current Patriarch, the Holy Father of the Serbian Orthodox Church.

The mutilated bodies at Racak were appalling, however, the near beating to death of an 85 pound, 5 foot frail 80-year-old Serbian bishop was also appalling. This holy man refused to press charges against those who tried to murder him.

Cleansing Serbs from Kosovo is nothing new. Seventy-seven thousand Serbs were killed in one day at the Battle of Kosovo in 1389, 185,000 Serbs were forced out in 1690 and conditions in 1737 forced an exodus of 170,000 Serbs to migrate north. At the Congress of Berlin in 1878, Serbia's international recognition was predicated on 150,000 Serbs leaving Kosovo. Nineteen years later in 1897, 10,000 Serbs were killed in Kosovo and 70,000 were ethnically cleansed by Albanian Muslims.

Serbia and her allies were victorious in WWI. Serbs marched from the Salonika Front to the Austrian border liberating the Balkans, but it cost Serbia 52% of her adult male population. The cemetery at Salonika tells the real story of valor in WWI-7,000 American tombstones, 11,000 French, 4,000 Italian, 3,000 Russian and 40,000 Serbian graves. The Allied Powers' Entente Plan to compensate Serbia with a much larger territory as the spoils of the war was refused by Serbia in 1915 when she rejected the secret Treaty of London that offered the Serbs all of Bosnia-Herzegovina and large parts of the Croatian Krajina if the Serbs would give up their idea of forming Yugoslavia. This is never mentioned by ignorant journalists who babble on about "A Greater Serbia."

Partisan journalists are hiding one major issue with a shroud, the 17 trillion dollars in physical and mineral assets of Yugoslavia being picked over by vultures (US) from the outside world. Kosovo has one of the largest coal reserves in Europe and a large deposit of lignite from which petroleum can be extracted. Remember, 34 corporate executives were killed in the Ron Brown plane crash. This reveals just how many multi-nationals are whetting their appetites on the spoils of Yugoslavia. Serbs fought these current wars so they would not be dominated by Croatians, Muslims and Albanians who tried to exterminate them just 50 years ago. Now Serbs will need to defend themselves against a new enemy, the multi-national occupiers and the economic slavery of the International Monetary Fund, whose reputation for giving with the left hand while robbing a nation of her assets with the right, is all too familiar.

In a recent interview on 60 Minutes, Leslie Stahl asked Madeleine Albright: "I understand that 500,000 Iraqi children have died due to our sanctions ... was it worth it?" Albright replied, "It was worth it." Our government insists that we have an aversion for assassinating foreign tyrants. Apparently we have no aversion for starving a half million Arab children to death. The Serbian people are now asking how many of their children must die in this bizarre foreign policy of US- imposed genocide by sanctions.

Madeleine Albright omits from her biography that the late Pavle Jankovic, a Serbian journalist, saved her life in WWII. In the New York Times she tried to cover up  7 years of horrific insults against the Serbian people by saying that her father, the Czech Ambassador to Belgrade said "if he hadn't been a Czech first, he would want to be a Serb." She stooped to defamation and demoralizing an entire Serbian nation, now she professes her "fond memories as a child in Belgrade." Her ability to remember Serbian lullabies didn't wash in Belgrade. This is the same woman who said "Serbs are awful."

Borrowing from Socrates, "scarcely a word of what they said is true." The media continues to omit that more than 400,000 Albanians are illegal aliens who crossed the border into Kosovo as easily as illegals cross our border into San Diego each night as we sleep. How compelling that American troops are defending borders in 100 countries, we just can't seem to defend our own. Today, the State Department says the Serbs are 10% of Kosovo, with no explanation that they claimed Serbs were 14% in 1991. Were 4% killed, cleansed, or just made invisible? They also tell us the Gypsies are 7%, the Greeks 2.3%, the Turks 1.5%, the Montenegrins 2%, and others 1%. By my calculations that means the Albanians can't possibly represent more than 50% of Kosovo, after subtracting the 400,000 illegals and the 300,000 who fled to Switzerland, Italy and Germany, most of whom have no desire to return to the poverty of Kosovo.

After any peace settlement in Paris, NATO and the OSCE are planning to hold elections in Kosovo without first having a census to determine the legal citizenship of the people in Kosovo. This is just another ruse in this shabby land grab.

I remind this audience that 630,000 Serb refugees were in Belgrade prior to the first election in Bosnia. The OSCE sent 16 people and 2 supervisors to Belgrade to register 630,000 Serbs in 4 weeks-they knew it was an impossible task. Only 210,000 Serbs were able to register in time to vote. Izetbegovic won his presidency by 44,000 votes while 420,000 Serbian citizens of Bosnia were denied their legal rights. How immoral that the OSCE congratulated itself for a successful election. Carlos Westendorp, the NATO overlord of Bosnia, now shuts down Serbian radio and television, bans the work of historic Serbian authors and picks the candidates for office, then disqualifies them after being duly elected because he does not like their views on Dayton. This is not democracy in action. Let's call it what it is, occupation!

If NATO's reputation means far more than the sovereignty of Serbia, then Californians had better take notice. By the year 2020 Hispanics will be the majority in California and may wish to seek independence or secede from this state to Mexico. A large number of Hispanics are already calling southern California Azatlan. Political groups have already created an insignia ready for uniforms. And won't we all be surprised when they use Kosovo as their legal precedent? If the KLA accomplishes Kosovo independence, Dayton will disintegrate as the Serb half of Bosnia will attach to Serbia and Croatia will finally demand her slice of Bosnia, too.

The United States could have stopped this violence in Kosovo months ago if we were honest peace brokers. This could have been accomplished by bombing Tirana and destroying the Albanian government's terrorist training camps and by stopping the illegal flow of mercenaries and weapons into Kosovo. But Washington sees this as a precedent for a new NATO, it goes beyond the Balkans, to authorizing actions anywhere in the world. NATO is acting in the Balkans under US initiative without a UN mandate and in violation of their own 'defensive' treaty. Perhaps in the next Watts riot NATO tanks will be at the corner of Wilshire and Rodeo in Beverly Hills instead of our National Guard.

Let's revisit Albanian autonomy from 1974 to 1989, when a quarter of a million Serbs were forced out of Kosovo. The tactics included firing Serbs from their jobs, the burning of hundreds of Serbian farms, the rape of Serbian girls and Serbian nuns, and the desecration of Serbian churches and the previously mentioned beating of a Serbian bishop. During this autonomy the Cyrillic alphabet of the Serbs was banned by Albanian authorities. Books on Serbian history and religion were removed from Kosovo schools and libraries and burned. The work of one of Serbia's most respected authors, Ivo Andric, the only Yugoslav Nobel prize winner was removed from the curriculum at Pristina University because he considered himself to be a Serb.

During the Kosovo police action that captured the headlines last summer, Turkey was simultaneously slaughtering thousands of Kurds, and NATO pretended not to notice. Turkey killed 34,000 Kurdish citizens in the last 6 years. The Turkish aggression against the Greek island of Cyprus has gone unresolved for 25 years, but Serbs must agree to a peace settlement and the loss of their country's sovereignty in 10 days or be bombed. Why was this policy never applied in Northern Ireland, Palestine, Algeria Afghanistan, Chechnya or Somalia? Last week Senator Frank Wolf of Virginia held a news conference on the subject of the Sudan where one million non-Muslims, mostly Christians, were slaughtered in the past 10 years. Thousands of Christian Sudanese were sold into slavery and thousands of young Christian boys were sold to pedophiles for the sexual appetite of men in that culture.

I was born in the State of West Virginia. At the height of our own civil war, it was the loyal citizens of Virginia who refused to secede from the Union and formed the State of West Virginia in 1863. But Bosnian Serbs who wanted to remain in their 73-year-old union with Yugoslavia were called aggressors.

The beginning of the Balkan quagmire started in 1990 in Foreign Appropriations Bill #101-513, in which Senator Robert Dole buried 23 lines that denied financial aid to Yugoslavia when that nation was 31 billion in debt. The Balkan quagmire began in 1990 in Foreign Appropriations Bill #101-513, in which Senator Robert Dole slipped in 23 sentences that denied financial aid to Yugoslavia when that nation was 31 billion dollars in debt. This bill was a direct violation of the Helsinki Act which forbids "any act of economic or other coercion." In 1990, prior to these wars, the Yugoslav exchange rate was about 165 dinars to one American dollar. I hold in my hand a 500 billion dinar note. Yes-500 billion dinar. The week it was printed its value was 10 cents. A week later it was not worth the paper it was printed on. That is what Senator Dole, Presidents Bush and Clinton did to the people of Yugoslavia and her neighbors, Romania, Bulgaria and Greece whose economies have each suffered over 10 billion dollars in losses from the punishing sanctions on Serbia, their former trading partner.

During the Bosnian Civil War, Libby Dole, president of the American Red Cross, joined the American government in withholding food, medicine, clothing and blood from 10 million Serbs including 1 million refugees. That ugly inhuman process is still in place, it's called by a prettified phrase, "The Outer Wall." Over one million Serbs with cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and kidney disease have gone without medicine and treatment for the past six years. Those who die suffered hideous deaths without the availability of pain-killing drugs. Each year dozens of Serbian babies die from a simple lack of antibiotics and dozens of senior citizens simply gave up and committed suicide. I wonder if Libby Dole will be running for president on her humanitarian record in Bosnia?
