Gazimestan - place of a monument to the battle, in the shape of medieval tower designed by Aleksandar Deroko. The monument was guarded by international forces on a full-time basis as there have been numerous attempts by Albanians to destroy it and to destroy all traces of the Serb presence in Kosovo....
Nato's choice of Gazimestan as the first monument to be handed over to the Kosovan police service (KPS) , dominated by ethnic Albanians, is highly unusual and provocative. Gazimestan marks the site of the 1389 Battle of Kosovo against the Ottomans. It is where Slobodan Milosevic rallied Serb activists 600 years later, with a nationalist speech that propelled him to power. Taking over the authority for security of Gazimestan monument will be the first case where KPS will assume responsibility for security of Serb cultural monuments in Kosovo. The move is seen as an important step in the transfer of powers to local rebel authorities. It has angered Serbia. Rightly so...
Tzar Lazarus Kosovo Curse

"Whoever is a Serb and of Serb birth,And of Serb blood and heritage,And comes not to the Battle of Kosovo,May he never have the progeny his heart desires,Neither son nor daughter!May nothing grow that his hand sows,Neither dark wine nor white wheat!And let him be cursed from all ages to all ages!"

At precisely 7.02pm on 22nd October 2006 in Sao Paulo, Michael Schumacher walks out of the box, his second home for the last 16 years. From this moment on, he is not only the former champion but also an ex-racing driver...
Racing legend Michael Schumacher makes his F1 2010 comeback! People's champion Schumi ,the seven-time world champion, is laid back about his FORMULA 1 return. This weekend will be his first race after three years retirement. Here is a list of teams for 2010 season. His new home is Mercedes GP .
Everybody seems to expect nothing but the title from you. Aren't those expectations too high maybe?"No. I said it quite clear from the beginning: we do not have to - and probably will not - be in the position to win right from the start. It is important to be close and then use the long season to be at the top at the end. It is not the start which is important; it is the finish." /M.S. 08.03.2010
Michael Schumacher stands out in Formula One because he is a driver who makes a difference. He has got so much talent that he disproves the idea it’s the man with the best car who wins. Schumacher has been making a difference ever since his stunning debut in qualifying for Jordan at Spa in 1991. His victory in the rain at the Spanish Grand Prix in 1996 in a malfunctioning Ferrari is listed by many as the finest drive they have ever seen. He has too many dark episodes to be a great By BYRON YOUNG, Formula 1 Correspondent. Many have criticised his Adelaide clash with Damon Hill in 1994, yet he had been ruthless but fair that day when he won his first championship. Three years later it was a different story when he simply tried to barge Jacques Villeneuve off to win the title and was stripped of all the points he scored that year. Worse was to follow when his Ferrari team-mate Rubens Barrichello was ordered to cede a certain victory at Austria in 2002 and Schumacher even faked a crash at Monaco in 2006 to stop Fernando Alonso grabbing a pole... He is a workaholic, a man who inspires loyalty in those around him and has the happy knack of being able to bend a team to his will. The seven world titles Schumacher has won do not lie.
He is, quite simply, the best there has ever been.

The war in Afghanistan makes no sense at all. Why would anybody want to invade and take over this remote and hard land of poor and ferocious men? There are no spoils to be taken, no oil, no important routes. But what is the possible benefit?
The only semi-rational argument is that of Drugs. Afghanistan produces a lot of the stuff (90 percent of the world's supply) ; in the days of Taliban rule, opium was practically eliminated, but since the US intervention, the production shot up many times. Afghani opium is flown from Bagram Air Base to Kosovo, the biggest US base in Europe and then smuggled to Europe . Thus creation of independent Kosovo with its criminal Albanian gangs begins to make sense – as a part of America’s war against Europe . Alternative route is allegedly carried by Chechens via Grozny where an almost independent warlord Kadyrov has his own customs clearance for entry into the Russian market. President Obama is just a supreme heroin pusher, but the same can be said about Queen Victoria , for in 19th century plucky Brits twice fought wars for harvest, production and delivery of opium. Perhaps this war is the latest in the series of the Opium Wars? It should come as no surprise that the biggest opium-growing regions are Helmand and Kandahar provinces, the Taliban strongholds where so much of the war is being fought. The opium crop employs from 1.6 million to 2.4 million Afghan citizens - as much as 8 percent of the country's 28.4 million people. After President George W. Bush spent 3 years trying to "eradicate" the crop, the opium acreage increased by 61 percent and the value of the crop increased by about one-third, the Washington Post reported in 2006. Opium pays Afghan farmers 12 times as much as food crops. They can't grow food in opium country as easily as they can grow opium. Growing opium may be the best thing that land can be used for. History seems to indicate that. Those two poor, devastated provinces could supply the entire world with nearly all of a drug that the world needs - legally. The entire world needs about 5,000 tons of opium a year for painkillers, according to those semi-reliable sources. Afghanistan is expected to produce 6,900 tons this year, and the wholesale price for opium today, according to Reuters, is $64 a kilo, or $64,000 a metric ton. At that price, United States could buy Afghanistan 's entire opium harvest this year for $442 million. It costs US $1 million to keep a single U.S. soldier in Afghanistan for a year. With 53,000 U.S. troops in country now, that's $53 billion a year. That's why they need to close the deal fast, that's why they're negotiaing with the enemy.
Ethnic Albanian criminal gangs continue to pose a serious security threat, dominating the transit and supply of heroin to Switzerland, warns a federal police expert. (source: ISN Security Watch)
According to the Vienna-based United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), Switzerland has historically been singled out as one of the countries most affected by ethnic Albanian heroin trafficking, due to the large expatriate population. There were an estimated 94,000 Albanian-speakers in Switzerland in 2000. In the late 1990s, Albanians were blamed for trafficking some 70 to 90 percent of Switzerland's heroin supply into the country. Ethnic Albanian criminal gangs built up a reputation as effective traffickers as they were violent and clannish with a language nobody else could understand and had an honor code similar to the Sicilian mafia. Southeastern Europe lies along the most conventional route - the so-called Balkan route - between the supplier of some 90 percent of the world's heroin, Afghanistan, and its most lucrative consumer market, western Europe. Kosovo's independence proclamation by the Albanian secessionist administration in Pristina in February 2008, follows a course that was drafted back in March 1999 when NATO started a war against Serbia. Kosovo is viewed as a region that is under the tight grip of organized crime and corruption which spans through he entire social and political sphere. The current leadership under Hashim Thaci is to emerge from the unholy alliance of traffickers in the region and the UCK. Pristina government has always been subject to the power of the Mafiosi who were the largest donors of the KLA rebels and want to keep the region in their own sphere of influence. German intelligence service in 2005, described the former Prime Minister of Kosovo Ramous Haradinaj as related «in drug trafficking, extortion and protection business». Reliable and highly informed sources at the Institute for European Policy, based in Germany, in a 2007 last report, commissioned for the German Armed Forces, indicated that the three leading Kosovo politicians, Ramush Haradinaj, Hashim Thaci and Xhavit Haliti are «Persons protected by the international community although they are deeply involved in all of these affairs». In a Pan-European level perhaps two-thirds of the heroin sold in the streets it is being distributed by Albanian criminal syndicates which are mostly established in Kosovo. Further another crucial element is the existence of a strong Albanian-American lobby in the U.S. East Coast which is interlinked with the still powerful American-Italian Mafia and quite a few mainstream politicians and bureaucrats. This lobby is also a small part of the wider nexus between Pakistan-Saudi Arabia-Turkey business lobbies n Washington that have managed to pursue high politics mainly in the Pentagon and the State Department through the use of retired American Generals and diplomats, attaining great influence even at the expense of the national interests of the USA. According to the U.S. law, "US Foreign Assistance Act of 1961", aid is prohibited to any country or organization that it is involved in drug trafficking. It is noteworthy to emphasize the involvement of the DEA at this point. Until March 1999 it followed a clear-cut policy of repression against the Kosovo related drug crime, but a month before the NATO bombing it pulled down from its own website references connected to Kosovo...
NATO bombing of Serbia, "the Kosovan War" allowed the place (rebel Serbian province) to become a centre of drug activity for the European market. So called "Kosovans" (muslim albanian population of Kosovo and Metohija) had a reputation for smuggling, but mafias there were eager to be involved in supplying the European market and could offer safe storage and a network of smugglers and wholesale dealers in the UK. They also used the refugee crisis to take advantage of this. If Afghanistan was a War to fight Terrorism - it begs the question - who is benefiting from the billions in drug revenues? In one War (Kosovo) a massive European safe haven for traffickers is created as the CIA court drug mafias linked with 'freedom fighters'. In Columbia - Right wing paramilitaries work hand in hand with drug cartels. In Afghanistan, the CIA again courted people involved in the drug trade masquerading as freedom fighters - the 'Northern Alliance' rise to power has seen the old poppy farming come back with a vengeance. It's almost as if the USA is creating the very conditions the drug trade needs to prosper. Some would point to the ease in which drug ravaged communities can be controlled by the state. The consequence of the USA involvement in its wars has been to create a free market for drugs. Was that the intent or just an accident?

The tragedy of the Haitian earthquake continues to unfold, with slow delivery of aid, the horrific number of amputations performed out of desperate medical necessity, more than a million homeless, perhaps 240,000 dead, hunger, dehydration, the emergence of infections and waterborne diseases, and the approach of the rainy season, which will be followed by the hurricane season. Haiti has suffered a massive blow, an earthquake for which its infrastructure was not prepared, after decades—no, centuries—of military and economic manipulation by foreign governments, most notably the United States and France.
Haiti was a slave plantation controlled by France. In 1804, inspired by Toussaint L’Ouverture (after whom the now barely functioning airport in Port-au-Prince is named), the slaves rebelled, founding the world’s first black republic. Under military threat from France in 1825, Haiti agreed to pay reparations to France for lost “property,” including slaves that French owners lost in the rebellion. It was either agree to pay the reparations or have France invade Haiti and reimpose slavery. Many Haitians believe that original debt, which Haiti dutifully paid through World War II, committed Haiti to a future of poverty that it has never been able to escape. (While France, as part of the deal, recognized Haiti’s sovereignty, slave-owning politicians in the United States, like Thomas Jefferson, refused to recognize the black republic, afraid it would inspire a slave revolt here. The U.S. withheld formal recognition until 1862.)
The U.S. Marines occupied Haiti from 1915 until 1934. In 1956, Francois “Papa Doc” Duvalier took control in a military coup and declared himself president for life, initiating a period of brutal, bloody dictatorship, with U.S. support. Papa Doc died in 1971, at which point his 19-year-old son, Jean-Claude “Baby Doc” Duvalier, took over, maintaining the same violent dictatorial control until he was driven into exile by popular revolt in 1986. Jubilee USA, a network calling for elimination of debt owed by poor countries, estimates that Baby Doc alone diverted at least $500 million in public funds to his private accounts, and that 45 percent of Haiti’s debt in recent decades was accumulated during the corrupt reign of the Duvaliers.
Loans from the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) imposed “structural adjustment” conditions on Haiti, opening its economy to cheap U.S. agricultural products. Farmers, unable to compete, stopped growing rice and moved to the cities to earn low wages, if they were lucky enough to get one of the scarce sweatshop jobs. People in the highlands were driven to deforest the hills, converting wood into salable charcoal, which created an ecological crisis—destabilizing hillsides, increasing the destructiveness of earthquakes and causing landslides during the rainy season.
Haiti’s first democratically elected president was Jean-Bertrand Aristide, a Catholic priest committed to the poor. He was elected in 1990, then ousted in a military coup in 1991. In 1994, with Haitian refugees flooding into Florida, the Clinton administration was forced to restore Aristide to power, but only with additional structural-adjustment demands. Aristide was re-elected in 2000, only to be deposed again in a U.S.-backed coup in 2004, Haiti’s bicentennial.
The destruction of Haiti’s rice industry, which was replaced with U.S. government-subsidized rice that Haitians refer to as “Miami rice,” as well as the sale of critical state-owned enterprises, like Haiti’s sole flour mill and cement factory, have left the country dependent on foreign trade and aid, keeping Haiti at a permanent disadvantage.
It is critical now to cancel Haiti’s ongoing foreign debt, so that the country can devote its scant resources to rebuilding and not to repaying debt. The G-7 finance ministers met in Canada this week and announced the forgiveness of the bilateral debt between member states and Haiti. But the World Bank, IMF and IDB debts remain (the IMF controversially promised a $100 million loan after the earthquake, eliciting condemnation, and has since pledged to convert it to a grant).
Earthquakes alone do not create disasters of the scale now experienced in Haiti. The wealthy nations have for too long exploited Haiti, denying it the right to develop in a secure, sovereign, sustainable way. The global outpouring of support for Haitians must be matched by long-term, unrestricted grants of aid, and immediate forgiveness of all that country’s debt. Given their role in Haiti’s plight, the United States, France and other industrialized nations should be the ones seeking forgiveness.

Democracy in America is a Useful Fiction
Corporate forces carried out a coup d’état in slow motion. The coup is over. We lost. The corporate state is firmly cemented in place. Democracy in America is a useful fiction. There is no national institution left that can accurately be described as democratic. Citizens, rather than participate in power, are allowed to have virtual opinions to preordained questions, a kind of participatory fascism as meaningless as voting on “American Idol.” Barack Obama is a brand, he has no power. Hollywood, the news industry and television, all corporate controlled, have become instruments of inverted totalitarianism. They censor or ridicule those who critique or challenge corporate structures. Liberals, socialists, trade unionists, independent journalists and intellectuals, many of whom were once important voices in our society, have been silenced or targeted for elimination within corporate-controlled academia, the media and government. The uniformity of opinion is reinforced by the skillfully orchestrated mass emotions of nationalism and patriotism, which paints all dissidents as “soft” or “unpatriotic.” The “patriotic” citizen, plagued by fear of job losses and possible terrorist attacks, unfailingly supports widespread surveillance and the militarized state. The civic, patriotic and political language we use to describe ourselves remains unchanged. We pay fealty to the same national symbols and iconography. We find our collective identity in the same national myths. We continue to deify the Founding Fathers. But the America we celebrate is an illusion. It does not exist. Our government and judiciary have no real sovereignty. Our press provides diversion, not information. Our organs of security and power keep us as domesticated and as fearful as most Iraqis. Capitalism, as Karl Marx understood, when it emasculates government, becomes a revolutionary force. And this revolutionary force, best described as inverted totalitarianism, is plunging us into a state of neo-feudalism, perpetual war and severe repression...
Wall Street Will Be Back for More
Corporations, which control the levers of power in government and finance, promote and empower the psychologically maimed. Those who lack the capacity for empathy and who embrace the goals of the corporation—personal power and wealth—as the highest good succeed. Those who possess moral autonomy and individuality do not. They play their games of high finance as if the rest of us do not exist. And it is a game that will kill us. The corporation decides who has value and who does not, who advances and who is left behind. It rewards the most compliant, craven and manipulative, and discards the losers who can’t play the game, those who do not accumulate wealth or status fast enough, or who fail to fully subsume their individuality into the corporate collective. It dominates the internal and external lives of its employees, leaving them without time for family or solitude—without time for self-reflection—and drives them into a state of perpetual nervous exhaustion. This hazing process eliminates from the system most of those with backbone, fortitude and dignity. The employees who advance are skilled drones, often possessed of a peculiar kind of analytical intelligence and drive, but morally, emotionally and creatively crippled. Their intellect is narrow and inhibited. They rely on the corporation, as they once relied on their high-priced elite universities and their SAT scores, for validation. They demand that they not be treated as individuals but as members of the great collective of Goldman Sachs or AIG or Citibank. They talk together. They exchange information. They make deals. They compromise. They debate. But they do not think. They are deaf, dumb and blind to the common good. How you make money and how you climb the ladder of the corporate structure are irrelevant. Success becomes its own morality. Those who do well in this environment possess the traits often exhibited by psychopaths—superficial charm, grandiosity and self-importance, a need for constant stimulation, a penchant for lying, deception and manipulation, and the incapacity for remorse or guilt. They, like competitors on a reality television program, lie, cheat and betray to climb over those around them and advance. These deeply stunted and maladjusted individuals, from Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner to Robert Rubin to Lawrence Summers to the heads of Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan Chase and Bank of America, hold the fate of the nation in their hands. They have access to trillions of taxpayer dollars and are looting the U.S. Treasury to sustain reckless speculation. The financial and corporate system alone validates them. It defines them. It must be served. This is why we will endure another catastrophic financial collapse. This is why firms like Goldman Sachs are more dangerous to the nation than al-Qaida.
These corporations don’t make anything. They don’t produce anything. They gamble and bet and speculate. And when they lose vast sums they raid the U.S. Treasury so they can go back and do it again.
Globalization Goes Bankrupt
The leaders of the G-20 are meeting to try and salvage their power and money after everything that has gone wrong. This is what those meetings are about. The draconian security measures put in place are disproportionate to any actual security concern. They are a response not to a real threat, but to the fear gripping the established centers of power. The power elite grasps, even if we do not, the massive fraud and theft being undertaken to save a criminal class on Wall Street. They know the awful cost this plundering of state treasuries will impose on workers, who will become a permanent underclass. And they also know that once this is clear to the rest of us, rebellion will no longer be a foreign concept. Our global economy, like our political system, has been hijacked by a tiny oligarchy, composed mostly of wealthy white men who serve corporations. They have pledged or raised a staggering $18 trillion, looted largely from state treasuries, to prop up banks and other financial institutions that engaged in suicidal acts of speculation and ruined the world economy. They have formulated trade deals so corporations can speculate across borders with currency, food and natural resources. The wealthiest governments use institutions such as the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the World Trade Organization like pit bulls to establish economic supremacy. There is little that most governments seem able to do to fight back. But the game is up. The utopian dreams of globalization have been exposed as a sham. Force is all the elite have left. We are living through one of civilization’s great seismic reversals. The ideology of globalization, like all utopias that are sold as inevitable and irreversible, has become a farce. The power elite, perplexed and confused, cling to the disastrous principles of globalization and its outdated language to mask the political and economic vacuum before us. We have reached the terminal stage. No one will save us now but ourselves. The best thing that happened to the Establishment is the election of a black president. It will contain people for a given period of time, but time is running out. The recovery is only a recovery for Wall Street. It can’t be sustained, and Obama will be blamed for it. He is doing everything Wall Street demands. But this will be a dead end. It is a prescription for disaster, not only for Obama but the Democratic Party.

Al-Qaeda is training new fighters that "look western" and could easily cross U.S. borders. Islamic terrorist with European features are based in Bosnia and Kosovo. "In Bosnia and Herzegovina today al-Qaeda is in a strategic planning phase. This means that, among such potentials - and it is likely that there are 100,000 such believers - you can find five people... to hang bombs on their belts and bring in explosives," says Dzevad Galijasevic, chairman of the New Democratic Party in Bosnia and an author of the recently published book The Era of Terrorism in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The international community does not attach a high level of importance to the presence of 'White al-Qaeda' because Bosnia is not the target of terrorist activities. It is clear that the al-Qaeda cells in Bosnia are waiting for EU accession; thus, this white, European physiognomy and anthropology - the so-called 'white al-Qaeda' - can in fact be the most fatal for Europe, while Bosnia-Herzegovina is an insignificant target for al-Qaeda. In August of 2007, US diplomat Raffi Gregorian said in an interview for a Sarajevo daily that al-Qaeda uses Bosnia as a transit point but labeled the local Bosnian Muslims not as "sleeper" cells but as "helper" cells. "There are sympathizers in the country who are ready to help al-Qaeda with hiding agents, providing financial support or providing false documents," said Gregorian, the principal deputy to Miroslav Lajcak who was the top international administrator of Bosnia. The al-Qaeda has enjoyed protection and support from the highest ranks of the Bosniak political and intelligence establishment but blames the existence of the Serb Republic as the real threat to Europe. 1,250 of al-Qaeda members have domiciled in Bosnia, got married with locals and enjoy political protection. In 2004, Abdurahman Khadr, the son of the killed Pakistani al-Qaeda operative Ahmed Said Khadr, says that the CIA helped him settle in Bosnia and asked him to spy on the the largest Mosques in Sarajevo, the King Fahd mosque, ran by a local Bosnian Muslim Imam Nezim Halilovic Muderis known for extremist preaching. At the Sarajevo Mosque, Abdurahman became friendly with a Bosnian Muslim recruiter for al-Qaeda operations in Iraq. Islamist activities such as these are pushing the Bosnian Muslims into a whirlpool of problems of other Islamic countries and are moving Bosnia closer to Palestine rather then their Christian neighbors, Serbs and Croats. It is turning Muslims' true historical brothers, Serbs and Croats, into eternal and irreconcilable enemies...



While the United States is relentlessly bombing Afghanistan with the official aim of getting Osama bin Laden, one of bin Laden's top collaborators is running a terrorist training camp in an area of Kosovo that is under U.S. control. The shocking revelation has been confirmed by multiple sources: Macedonian intelligence agencies, as reported by several Macedonian media, including the leading daily Dnevnik; Russian press agencies, including Novosti and ItarTass; and the London Independent. If the Anglo-Americans are at "war" with bin Laden's terrorism, why are bin Laden operatives active in Kosovo in an area totally controlled by NATO? Furthermore, in the U.S. zone in Kosovo? Investigations on the bin Laden connection into the Balkans and Kosovo could, according to experts, lead to even more explosive truths. The Independent reported on Oct. 21. 2001 that Interpol has linked bin Laden to Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) crime gangs, and that he "supplied one of his top military commanders for an elite KLA unit" in Kosovo. Beyond that, these extremists are out to re-ignite the ethnic "Clash of Civilizations" in the Balkans, to crush the escalating resistance of Macedonia and to continue the march of destruction, possibly triggering in the near future, an ethnic upheaval in Greece or Bulgaria. This opens up a dramatic contradiction. That contradiction throws light on the virtual reality the world has been propelled into after the Sept. 11 attacks.

Osama bin Laden’s Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups are present in the Balkans and planning to increase their activity there. Al Qaeda has strongholds in Kosovo, northern Albania... and they are active in western Macedonia. All areas are heavily populated by ethnic Albanians, who are predominantly Muslim. The strategic aim of the Muslim extremists in the area is to create an Islamic state in the Balkans. The radical Muslim game plan in the former Yugoslavia, which was evident from the mid 1990s has now been realized by what is perhaps George Bush's most serious foreign policy error, the recognition of an illegal and radical Muslim state in East Central Europe - Kosovo. As has been the case in most of America's blunders regarding radical Islam, the United States embarked upon this disastrous path under the Clinton administration. The Islamist penetration into the Balkans especially Kosovo should be alarming to anyone concerned over the growing threat of Islamic jihad. Throughout the region radical Muslims, originally led by Alija Izetbegovic (bosnian muslim leader) began consolidating their power in the 1990s. During this period and leading into the Balkan civil wars tens of thousands of foreign mujahideen fighters entered coming from places as disparate as Northern Africa, Iran and Saudi Arabia. So out in the open was this operation that in the mid 1990s bin-Laden had an office in Sarajevo. The network included a major business enterprise in Cyprus; a "services" branch in Zagreb; an office of the Benevolencen International Foundation in Sarajevo, which supported the Bosnian Muslims in their conflict with Serbia and Croatia." A study by the London Institute for International Strategic Studies revealed that, "the total number of Islamic terrorists who served in the "Bosnian Army" since the beginning of the civil war is about 40000. A number of the 911 hijackers had cycled through Bosnia including 911 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed along with Nawaw al Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar. The latter two being among the first selected by bin-Laden to execute the plot.



As Dr. Shaul Shay, a colonel in the Israeli Army and a recognized expert on Islamic radicalism, states, "In the beginning the main purpose was to help the local Muslims in the war against the Serbians. When the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina ended, terrorist infrastructures remained there and served as a basis for the Islamic terror activities in Kosovo. Today, the Balkans serve as a forefront on European soil for Islamic terror organizations, which exploit this area to promote their activities in Western Europe, and other focal points worldwide."



Now, why has the West recognized Kosovo (a renegade province of Serbia) diplomatically, when by all accounts it will serve as a launching pad for terrorist operations against Western Europe?

From time to time United States of America decide to destroy lives of millions of people around the Globe. They imagine a problem, then create an even bigger one and then try to drag the rest of the World into it so they could get out. Everybody knows it's wrong. Some countries try to avoid the pressure and others just like to kiss their butts and lick their balls... United Kingdom for example and Tony The American Puppet Blair especially.

The date for the public hearing of former Prime Minister Tony Blair has been announced… by the Iraq Inquiry… Mr Blair will appear for a full day’s session on Friday 29th January 2010. Here are some of the questions that the Inquiry should ask Tony Blair:

When, and with whom, did you make any agreement to consider formally committing UK forces towards any prospective invasion of Iraq? When did you first personally decide that British armed forces would indeed take part in the US-led invasion of Iraq? Was the matter of upholding the UN Iraq disarmament resolutions the only reason for committing UK forces against Saddam Hussein’s regime in Iraq? When did you first seek advice about the legality of taking military action to enforce the authority of United Nations resolutions regarding Iraq? Who did you seek this advise from? What was your understanding of the legal position regarding the invasion of Iraq? On 3 April 2002, you told NBC news “We know that he [Saddam Hussein] has stockpiles of major amounts of chemical and biological weapons.”How do you justify this statement? Why did you lie? Was it because of the money? When did you start having those wet dreams about Bush?...
Tony Blair’s record of bombing nations to enforce his “values” and “liberate” his victims did not begin in Iraq in 2003.
Although he heartily enforced the murderous sanctions levied against Iraq following the end of the first Gulf War, sanctions that denied basic humanitarian supplies to innocent civilians and resulted in many thousands of deaths, his first large scale military aggression fell on Serbia, once a federal unit of Yugoslavia. With Blair’s full support NATO launched a 78 day blitz against Serbia in 1999. Blair’s justification for sending his bombers against Serbian cities and towns was that Serbs were committing state sanctioned “genocide” against ethnic Albanians in the breakaway province of Kosovo. Blair went as far as to draw comparisons with the Holocaust of World War II. The media dutifully played its role in supporting Blair’s agenda, a service it would repeat when it came time to bomb Iraq four years later and then Afghanistan.
If Slobodan Milosevic (murdered at the Hague Tribunal in the lack of evidence) was a war criminal then what would you call Tony, Clinton, Bush and their brothers in arms around the world?...

Jewish American historian and son of survivors of the Warsaw ghetto and concentration camps, Norman Finkelstein in his explosive new book, "The Holocaust Industry: Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering", accuses those who exploit the Holocaust of telling lies and of naked greed. He argues that the ruthless industrialisation of the Holocaust has encouraged the rebirth of anti-semitism in Europe and the United States. The headquarters of the Holocaust Industry, are in the USA, with the World Jewish Congress (WJC) or the Jewish Claims Conference (JCC). He says the holocaust is an ideological construction, that originally served the interests of the Jewish elite in America and has now degenerated into a money making instrument. It has become a extortion racket. "If everyone who claims to be a survivor actually is one," my mother used to exclaim, "who did Hitler kill?".

Neither Finkelstein's book nor this blog in any way excuses the actions of the Nazis, who were eventually responsible for one of the greatest horrors ever to afflict Europe. Awareness of the depravity exhibited by those who ran the Nazi state and the Nazi extermination campaigns should be part of any person's education, and should never be forgotten although this should not be used as an excuse to ignore other campaigns of genocide against non-Jewish peoples equally deserving of the term "holocaust". Norman Finkelstein has caused a storm on both sides of the Atlantic and it is not hard to see why: he says the Holocaust has been exploited to extort cash from Switzerland, Germany and any other country which can be tarred with the Nazi brush. In the early 1950s, Germany entered into negotiations with Jewish institutions and signed indemnification agreements. It has paid out to date some $60bn. Modern-day Germany has already atoned for the sins of the Nazi era, both morally and financially. Many times since the war (and even today) Germany's leaders have expressed their profound regret at the actions of the Nazis, and have accepted collective responsibility for what happened. He argues directly that today's Holocaust Industry is not truly concerned with obtaining compensation for "needy holocaust survivors," noting that very little of the recently extracted "compensation" has reached its nominal beneficiaries. Instead, the industry's concern today lies with winning compensation for law firms, consultants, politicians, Holocaust organizations, and industry elites. "When Jewish elites rob Jewish survivors no ethical issues arise; it's just about the money". But that's not all. Every time Israel goes to war against poor stone throwing civilians, Holocaust WW2 comes as an excuse (Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Iran all major threats to the very existence of state of Israel). Criticism of Israel is not allowed and it is often called anti-semitimism. It's a taboo!

It's not only the hypocrisy of those profiting from the Holocaust industry — the hypocrisy of the United States in this affair stinks to high heaven. Finkelstein writes: Like Switzerland, the US denied entry to Jewish refugees fleeing Nazism before and during the second world war. Yet the US government hasn't seen fit to compensate them. The US refuses even to consider the question of compensation to African-Americans for having enslaved their ancestors, reduced them and their descendants to poverty and misery, and denied black Americans their human rights during most of the history of the US. And if we're talking genocide, let's not forget the genocide perpetrated by the US against the original inhabitants of the land (almost all of the continental US) siezed by the US government. How many indigenous American Indian families broken and destroyed? How many millions slaughtered? ... But will the US government consider compensation for survivors of this genocide? No. What about Iraq and Afghanistan?Subscribe in a reader

In a vote that displayed a widespread anxiety about Islam and undermined the country’s reputation for religious tolerance, the Swiss on Sunday overwhelmingly imposed a national ban on the construction of minarets, in a referendum drawn up by the far right and opposed by the government. Earlier this month, France considered whether to ban Muslim women from wearing full-face veils. Of 150 mosques or prayer rooms in Switzerland, only 4 have minarets, and only 2 more minarets were planned and none are used for the call to prayer because of strict noise-pollution rules. The vote in favor of the ban is a surprise in a country that prides itself on integrating immigrants, and where about a fifth of the population are foreigners. There are about 400,000 Muslims in a population of some 7.5 million people. Close to 90 percent of Muslims in Switzerland are from Kosovo and Turkey. Albanians have migrated to Switzerland since 1960s, many of them migrated from Kosovo. 45 000 albanians migrated to Switzerland from Macedonia. Once the war had reached Kosovo, ethnic Albanians were added to the list of nationals qualifying for refugee status. Since it was impossible to tell Kosovar Albanians from the rest, gangsters took advantage of the situation and spread quickly throughout Europe, first going to Albanian communities in Germany and Switzerland and taking over the heroin trade there. People's Party leader Walter Wobman said the group will now fight to ban the burqa as well as to institute a law against forced marriage. They said that the minarets were not architectural features with religious characteristics, but symbolised a political-religious claim to power, which challenges fundamental rights. The Swiss government feared a yes vote would spark a backlash, and Swiss diplomats have quietly been reassuring leaders in Muslim countries that the government opposed the referendum. About 7%, or 14.5 billion Swiss francs ($14.4 billion), of Swiss exports go to Muslim countries. Wait, that's not all, swiss leaders now call for ban on separate Jewish and Muslim cemeteries as well.

So, Europeans have no problem with recognizing new Muslim states all over the Balkans (Bosnia, Kosovo...) but when it is about Muslims at home, then it's a different story. Serbia, for example, has been defending Europe and christianity from Islam since 14th century. Serbs were portraited as fascists while fighting their own "war on terror" and Al-Qaeda in Kosovo. They were severely punished for it, but islamophobia is now ok in 21st century Europe. What happened to democracy, freedom of religion and human rights? Subscribe in a reader
