Ivasov's Revelations

There have been precious few articles covering the Hague trial of Slobodan Milosevic. One reason for that may be that it is not going well for the prosecution (and for the mainstream media who it turns out were puppets of the Clinton administration).

I have tried to keep up with the transcripts of testimony and follow some of the arguments of the case (these can be accessed here).

For an example of the problems faced by the prosecution, on 23 November, 2004 Judge Robinson noted that the facts presented in the testimony of Russian General Leonid Gregori Ivasov (the “top” of the Russian military pyramid overseeing Yugoslavia, intelligence activities relating to the Kosovo uprising, and the U.S./NATO negotiations and response) suggest that much of the prosecution’s case is based on information that is “not objective” (see page 33734).

Apparently, there are evidence and testimony to the fact that overt U.S. support for the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), which was a known mafia-like terrorist organization with links to al Qaeda (see page 33710) began as early as 1997(see page 33690). The U.S. was actively preparing for the destruction of Yugoslavia with the build up of military capability and materiel. Furthermore, the testimony points to early development (1997) of an information war (i.e., psychological and media war) against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia by the U.S. well in advance of the outright NATO attack in March of 1999 (see page 33712).

In fact, the evidence and testimony suggest that the human rights abuses touted by the western media were more a product of KLA and NATO actions than by Serbian actions, and that these “planned” human rights abuses (i.e., the massive refugee flows) were part of the intended pre-combat activities that would legitimize the long-planned actions of the U.S. under the Clinton administration. The Verification Mission which was ostensibly designed to monitor the situation between the Serbs and the Kosovars apparently ended up as a biased propaganda tool used to provide a “smokescreen” for the U.S. preparations for aggression (see page 33719).


The disturbing aspects of these revelations are 1) Under the last Democratic administration we strategized with, trained and fought on the side of a Muslim terrorist/mafia organization (an ally of al Qaeda) and facilitated their overthrow of a sovereign (although pariah) government; 2) The mainstream media were 100% complicit in promoting the administration’s false characterization of the human rights abuses taking place; 3) The U.N. sanctions, the Rambouillet negotiations and its associated agreements were intended by the U.N. and the U.S. to be confrontational and unacceptable to the Yugoslavian government; and 4) The intended outcome all along (as negotiated by Madeline Albright with the KLA) was the establishment of an independent Kosovo leading to a “greater Albania” – just as warned against by the Yugoslav government.


If these revelations are anywhere near true, then it is no wonder that the Democrats, the U.N. and “Old Europe” are incensed at the Bush administration; for Bush changed sides in the middle of a war.

Instead of supporting the Muslim revolutionaries in their expansion into Europe (i.e., the Islamic “greater Albanian state”), Bush lashed out. The allies of the Clinton administration (who would occasionally blow up one of our embassies or attack our interests to rally Arab support for their cause) stepped too far over the line. And instead of the Neville Chamberlain-like appeasement of the Democrats, Bush disrupted the tenuous alliances between the U.S., the Arab/Muslim-sympathetic majority in the U.N. and the pseudo-state of Islam.

Just like the young fraternity boy who says, “Whoa! This party is getting a bit too wild for me. I’m leaving!” Bush walked out of the room declaring the Islamic movement just a bit too wild for his taste. This left the compliant Europeans, who had been appeasing the Islamic immigration wave (perhaps to maintain their access to oil), as the only “boys who should have known better” still left at the party with the real rough and rowdy Islamists.

No wonder the Democrats hate Bush. Not only has he had them kicked out of office, but he has disrupted their blind partying with Europe and called their naughty friends on their nasty behavior. He might ruin their whole party.
