WILL THE NEXT WAR ERUPT IN THE BALKANS?

Forget the Middle East and Korea:
The Balkans are on the boil again

By Justin Reimondo Source

Serbs have gotten off the wrong foot with the U.S., for 25 years, now.  That is "la dommage", but what to do - "The life is tough, and than we die". However, the vast diversity of opinions, on their side, is interesting to follow. Here is the one .....  Justin Raimondo (born Dennis Raimondo; November 18, 1951) is an American author and the editorial director of Antiwar.com. He describes himself as a "conservative-paleo-libertarian."  Major ideas and recurring themes. Raimondo argued in a 2003 Antiwar.com column that Israel exerts a dominant force in the formulation of American foreign policy. Raimondo also believes the United States was led into World War II through lies by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and that the U.S. deliberately provoked a war with Japan through economic sanctions. Raimondo's views have been compared by Christopher Hitchens to those of Charles Lindbergh, whom Raimondo describes as an "American hero sprung from the heartland."[ Raimondo has also written that Israeli intelligence operating in the U.S. had advance knowledge of the September 11, 2001 attacks. Raimondo believes the government should refrain from adopting laws that would prohibit discrimination against homosexuals. He also is against the legal recognition of same-sex marriage and instead favors marriage privatization, both mocking the idea that gays should adopt a heterosexual model of sexual and emotional relationships, and noting that as a libertarian he opposes "State incursion into such private matters." Raimondo has debated the issue of same-sex marriage with journalist Jonathan Rauch, who supports it. He also has written that after years of persecution by the state, LGBT rights activists seek to "use the battering ram of government power" to actively intervene on behalf of homosexuals.

SLAVES AND SLAVEMASTERS - FROM CHATTEL SLAVERY TO WAGE SLAVERY

Are Wage Slavery and Chattel Slavery Different?

Researched by Thomas DeMichele Source

Now that you have voted for one of the political parties that supports the capitalist system, you can now be assured of the continuance of your servitude and subservience to the ruling class.   Slavery seems like an outmoded form of life from previous centuries. Many people blithely assume that "wage slavery" is merely a metaphor, at worst a rather benign situation in which an employer says: "You be my slave for forty hours per week and I'll give you just enough money to pay your bills . Just be here Monday to Friday, 9 to 5 (plus when instructed to work overtime.) Deal?"  Whatever we feel, slavery is very much a fact of life for all people in the world today. A person is a slave if he or she has lost control over his or her life and is dominated by someone or something--whether he or she is aware of this or not. Wage slavery is the condition in which a person must sell his or her labor-power, submitting to the authority of an employer, in order to merely subsist. The very essence of capitalism is slavery: the enslavement of workers by the capitalist class. You have probably endured the subjugation of a "boss" or "director" or "committee," and you know that the coercion, even if masked as "job description," "supervisor evaluation," or "company directive" can be as repressive as if there were literal chains fastened around your arms and feet. Most business enterprises use the leadership style of "management by whim," oppressing the worker. A capitalist slave is: Forced to work at a "job" owned by a capitalist (owner of jobs, the means of production, and the profit from the jobs) through necessity or through mental or physical threat. He or she is “owned” or controlled by a capitalist "employer" through wages, hours, working conditions. We are dehumanised, treated as a commodity: a faceless entity filling a slot, a hired hand, at the mercy of the capitalist. The capitalist can--and does so with a vengeance--destroy jobs by "staff reduction," automating jobs by robots, or out-sourcing jobs to a cheaper labour location. Without a voice as to how much profit the capitalist can make from the worker's labour and cannot bargain for higher wages or safe working conditions. Unable to support himself and his family when he cannot find a job. Reduced to poverty or destitution or death by an ever-reduced job "market". Today, all workers suffer under wage slavery bonded debt servitude.  [Socialist Courier]

FROM AN ALLIE TO TERRORISTIC AGGRESSOR ... HAS USA BETRAYED ITSELF?

When the Serbian Flag Flew Over the White House and American Is Flying Over Occupied Serb's Land of Kosovo and Metohija

By LG Sources

March 24, 1999.- The Day of Infamy, 18 years ago, NATO aggressor, attacked F.R. Yugoslavia.   NATO attacked the country that had been a member of UN, with no declaration of war, and against all International laws. That "DAY WILL LIVE IN INFAMY" [F.D. Roosevelt, 1941.] 58 years later, the very same USA found itself siding with Islamic terrorists in Bosnia and Serbian Autonomic Province of Kosovo and Metohija, against Serbs, leading NATO aggression on Serbia, their Allie in two World Wars, and FR Yugoslavia, with no Declaration of War, sneaking 1999., like Japanese did to them in Pearl Harbor in 1941.

18 YEARS SINCE NATO AGGRESSION - SERBIAN G-4 AIRCRAFT IN THE WAR AGAINST NATO

25th April 1999. Covert mission of Serbian pilots vs NATO aviation at Rinas airport, Tirana, Albania

By Grey Carter

We are ten days away from the exact day when, 18 years ago, NATO aggressor, attacked F.R. Yugoslavia on the March 24, 1999.  NATO attacked the country that had been a member of UN, with no declaration of war, and against all International laws. That "DAY WILL LIVE IN INFAMY" [F.D. Roosevelt, 1941.] According to Wikipedia "The NATO bombing of Yugoslavia was the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation's military operation against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia during the Kosovo War. The air strikes lasted from March 24, 1999 to June 10, 1999.". However, that was no "military operation", nor "air strikes", nor "Kosovo war". That was classic terrorist attack, with no declaration of war, on an sovereign State, a member of UN. That was the full scale aggression of 13 NATO countries, namely Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom, and United States of America on Serbia and Montenegro. That was no "Kosovo War", because the attack was conducted on the whole S.R. Yugoslavian territory. The first target, on the March 24, at 19:45 (7:45 p.m.) was the town of Novi Sad, more than 500 km to the North from Serbian Autonomic Province of Kosovo and Metohija. The air strikes were accompanied by land offensive on the South Serbian borders, mainly from Albania, and F.Y.R. Macedonia. The attackers consisted of Albanian regular Army, terrorists of so called "Kosovo Liberation Army", NATO special forces, supported by NATO artillery and air-force.    For 78 days of aggression NATO achieved nothing! Their foot stepped on Serbian soil for the first time, only, after Kumanovo agreement. Our Pristina Corps retreated on its own from Serbian Autonomic Province of Kosovo and Metohija, absolutely untouched. Serbia suffered more civilian than military casualties, infrastructure was thoroughly destroyed, and Autonomic Province of Kosovo and Metohija has been under the NATO occupation ever since. NATO lost 120 "flying objects", including one F-117 confirmed, and two more unconfirmed because they managed to escape accross the border. We, simply, didn't know that they were invisible. On the South front, Serb's Air-force had successful missions, including the attack on NATO airport near Tirana, the capital of Albania, where 12 "Apache" helicopters were destroyed on the ground, among other damages. Shqiptar land forces, Albanian regulars and KLA terrorists, suffered heavy loses. Serbs were a perfect match for NATO  in underground warfare, as well. NATO aggressor and Shqiptar terrorists gotta have one thing in mind, an one thing only, as gen. Douglas MacArthur said - We came through and we shall return! You can count on that!

GEOPOLITICS - BALKANS ON THE CROSSROAD?

A Time of Change in the Western Balkans

By Slavisa Batko Milacic

The people of Balkans have been under globalist's experiment for 25 years. All possible intelligence services had practiced in the Balkans. Special war became a way of living of the Balkan nations, especially the Serbs. In such a schizophrenic situation, a special feeling has been developed for the rumors, conspiracy theories, reading between the lines, all of which are commonly appeared to be true. Donald Trump is the long expected news within Serb population. Suffering injustice, double standards, satanization, open aggression, occupation from their former Allie, Serbs were the only nation at Balkans cheering for Trump. 92% of Serbs wanted D. Trump to enter the White House! It is understandable that expectation are high, now. To my personal opinion nothing gonna change for Serbs. However, there are some other opinions, as well. [LG]

WHAT IS THE BEST TIME TO INVADE RUSSIA?

Czech Major General Hynek Blashko:

Right Now!

They do need a lot of POW

The Interview  пенз. ген. ХИНЕК БЛАШКО

Czech Major General in reserve Hynek Blasko in an interview for „Parlamentní list“ commented the possible conflict between Russia and NATO, talked about the German’s paranoia, quoted Jaroslav Hashek, told a joke on Obama, Americans and Russians, and supported of Donald Trump in the race for the White House.

What do you say about that people in Germany are encouraged to make their supplies of food and drinking water in case of disasters, including war?
The call may have two reasons. The first may be that the situation inside the country is so tensed, due to migration, that threatens to collapse the supply and provokes possible actions of the population towards migrants. The second reason may be that the scheduling conflict with Russia is already so advanced that it is necessary to call on the population to clothe in case of war. Perhaps, the third reason could be considered, which is to instil fear to the masses, and thus make them easier to control and divert attention from the pressing problems of the present.

In Poland and Hungary were similar alarms. Why we still do nothing?
Maybe it's the fact that our politicians are sometimes more "reasonable" and knowledgeable on Czech nature, which is learnt that that kind of challenge has incalculable consequences. Additionally, Czech housewives hardened by the situation in shops during seventies and eighties build up stocks automatically without any special warning.

How do you see the international air exercises Ample Strike 2016 which runs over central Europe?
If the main objective is to train and coordinate forces in different situations possible assault on a member of NATO states, then everything is fine. However, if the aim is to provoke a potential enemy, that's not fine, and it's in direct contravention of the declared character of NATO.
It all seems that NATO weapons, even those of mass destruction, is getting closer to Russia's borders. One of the “Parlamentní” readers wrote to the editor asked if he had to fear of the worst, the conflict NATO versus Russia ...
Though the Internet is circulating a joke: "Obama and his generals in the Pentagon discussed, and they could not agree on, what is the best time for the assault on Russia. Finally, they decide to ask the French: When is it best to invade Russia? The French answered: We do not know, but certainly not in the winter, it would go wrong for sure. Therefore, it would probably be better to ask the Germans: When is it best to invade Russia? The Germans answer: We do not know, but it certainly would not be in the summer. We have tried, already ... What to do? Someone proposes to ask China that is progressive and always comes up with a new idea. So they asked the Chinese, when is the best time to invade Russia? The Chinese replies: Right now! Russia began to build “The Strength of Siberia" pipeline, “Turkish stream”, The Spaceport “Vostochny”, The Bridge to the Crimea, and in the near future they will modernize the BAM, they are building new sports complexes for the World Cup in football and athletics, they are planning oil extraction in the Arctic. .. Right now they do need a lot of POW"

To what extent is the Czech army ideologically divided? When we look at former commanders of the General Staff, for example, Miroslav Kostelka is very sober in assessment of Russia, Petr Pavel opposing to him is harder, and so forth. Is it a template for a lower command level, at least according to what you know from your friends and acquaintances still active in the Army?
The template is not a big deal, but my friends shake their heads over the performances of the former Chief of General Staff. Indeed, I commented him in a recent interview. I recommend to ask our leaders whether they are ready to bear the brunt of what General Pavel wants.

I ask because I have a persistent idea that if there was a conventional war with Russia, now, it could happen the same as in the First World War. Many deserters, so-called founding Legion and so forth. Or maybe I'm wrong and the professional army is not about ideas, opinions, critical thinking, open-mindedness, but in terms of salary, only?
I am answering with a quote from the book of Jaroslav Hasek “The Good Soldier Schweik”: “The district magistrate, and me have always said, 'Patriotism, loyalty to duty, self-overcoming, those are the real weapons in the war!' I am reminding you, especially today, when our troops are anytime soon to cross the border.”

Is it possible that a nuclear war could be a local one?
And is it possible that, in the twenty-first century, someone is tampered with the idea to use the craziest tool of destruction of all - a nuclear weapon?

What US presidential candidate, to your opinion, is to ease the international situation better?
I'm not a US citizen and I do not live in that country, as well, so I can only benefit from what is provided by the "mainstream" media, and based on that it is Donald Trump. Furthermore, can you imagine a woman as the Head of the most powerful nation in the World, after the experience with the most powerful woman in Europe?

THE U.S.A. - THE ILLITERATE WORLD'S BULLY

America the Illiterate:
It Cannot Differentiate
Between Lies and Truth

by  CHRIS HEDGES

Christopher Lynn Hedges (born September 18, 1956) is an American journalist, author, and war correspondent specializing in American and Middle Eastern politics and societies. Chris Hedges is currently a senior fellow at The Nation Institute in New York City. He spent nearly two decades as a foreign correspondent in Central America, the Middle East, Africa and the Balkans. He has reported from more than fifty countries, and has worked for The Christian Science Monitor, National Public Radio, The Dallas Morning News, and The New York Times, where he was a foreign correspondent for fifteen years (1990–2005).

We live in two Americas. One America, now the minority, functions in a print-based, literate world. It can cope with complexity and has the intellectual tools to separate illusion from truth.
The other America, which constitutes the majority, exists in a non-reality-based belief system. This America, dependent on skillfully manipulated images for information, has severed itself from the literate, print-based culture.

It cannot differentiate between lies and truth. It is informed by simplistic, childish narratives and clichés. It is thrown into confusion by ambiguity, nuance and self-reflection.
This divide, more than race, class or gender, more than rural or urban, believer or nonbeliever, red state or blue state, has split the country into radically distinct, unbridgeable and antagonistic entities.
There are over 42 million American adults, 20 percent of whom hold high school diplomas, who cannot read, as well as the 50 million who read at a fourth- or fifth-grade level. Nearly a third of the nation’s population is illiterate or barely literate. And their numbers are growing by an estimated 2 million a year.

SERBIAN AND YUGOSLAV PRIDE FADES INTO HISTORY

Legendary Yugoslav Car Firm
Fades Into History

by MILIVOJE PANTOVIC

The final closure of the long defunct Zastava car factory in Kragujevac has left many Serbs grieving for a part of their history that is now definitely over.

The cars - once popular throughout the former Yugoslavia - have not been produced for years. But the “lock on the factory gate” in Kragujevac - which a Serbian court ordered placed last week - marks a final break with what some believe was "a better past”. The company Zastava Automobile from Kragujevac was declared bankrupt on Thursday because of mounting debts and after its bank account was blocked for 701 days.

NATO CONSPIRACY - THE COLD WAR IS NO LONGER COLD

Warsaw Communiqué
Conspiracy by NATO Leaders to Commit Acts of Aggression against Russia

by
Christopher Black 

I have been a defence lawyer most of my working life and am not used to gathering evidence for a prosecution, but circumstances impelled me to open a file for the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, or perhaps some future citizen’s tribunal, in which is contained the evidence that the NATO leaders are guilty of the gravest crime against mankind, the crime of aggression. I would like to share with you some brief notes of interest from that file, for your consideration. 

Article 8bis of the Rome Statute, the governing statue of the International Criminal Court states:

For the purpose of this Statute, “crime of aggression” means the planning, preparation, initiation or execution, by a person in a position effectively to exercise control over or to direct the political or military action of a State, of an act of aggression which by its character, gravity and scale, constitutes a manifest violation of the Charter on the United Nations.

HEY, PEOPLE! SOUNDS FAMILIAR, AIN'T IT? SERBS ARE THE LITMUS LIKE ALWAYS!

More and more he [Hitler] was becoming obsessed with Russia and the necessity for a showdown. The fateful directive for the invasion of the USSR, coded "Operation Barbarossa," was dated December 18, 1940, and the target date for the opening of the assault was May 15, 1941. However before Barbarossa could get under way, the Balkans had to be secured. 

For easier comparison decode like this: Hitler = USA| USSR = Russia| German army = NATO| 1941 = 2016| Yugoslavia = Serbia| April 6, Nazis bombed Belgrade = April, 1999, NATO bombed Belgrade ….. and one could see that the time passed, but nothing has changed. The West is the same, Bulgarians, Croatians, Shqiptars, Romanians, Hungarians are the same, and as always Serbs are the same ….. Drang Nach Osten is in progress. NATO is in Ukraine advancing to Moscow. Serbia is surrounded by Axes Forces. Germany leads the “united” Europe. Our politicians are pushing us toward Germany and the West. We are resisting to lose our national honor, and to bend on our knees before the Brute. God’s will …… The end is going to be the same …..
