Our Motto: Take it or Leave it!

Just in - a report you must read:

With reports such as this, even the most blind "sheople" are being forced to see the evil basis of this plane and of the Archons who run it.

It is obvious Evil is being exposed everywhere, and that cover-ups now simply do not work.

It is obvious the mendacious nature of most world leaders is being exposed.

This is a unique period, and the time in which such miscreants can prosper is quickly coming to an end.

Such exposures are necessary preliminary steps in the Corrective Process which will lead to total self-destruction of all Evil in due course.

Even if, inspite of such reports the archons appear to get away with their evil acts, realise that on the spiritual level - the level that really counts - the exposures signify their spiritual deaths!

EXPOSURE OF US / NATO WAR CRIMES
THE BALKANS QUAGMIRE


Successful operation or war crime?
International hearings hold Clinton,
Albright, Cohen responsible

NEW YORK -- The Geneva Convention,
The United Nations Charter, the Nuremberg
Principles, the Helsinki Accords and the U.S.
Constitution have all been violated by Bill
Clinton, Madeleine Albright and William
Cohen, according to charges filed by the
Commission of Inquiry of the International
Action Coalition.

Nearly 800 persons participated in the inquiry
hearings. Charges are primarily grouped
around those of "starting a war," the
"deliberate targeting of civilian infrastructure"
and "violating and destroying the
peacemaking roll of the United Nations."

There are 19 charges detailed in articles and
paragraphs from major international treaties
and even the U.S. Army Field Manual 27-10
(for planning, announcing and executing
attacks intended to assassinate government
leaders and selected civilians, e.g. "friends of
Milosevic," the Yugoslav president). U.S.
commanders and NATO/State Department
spokesmen were so ignorant or arrogant about
international treaties and laws, according to
the charges, that they even publicly boasted of
highly illegal actions and destruction of
non-military civilian targets. For example,
targeting Yugoslav journalists was a violation
of Article 79 of the U.N. Charter. Bombing
fertilizer plants and a cigarette factory was a
violation of the Geneva Convention about
hitting non-military targets.

"Inflicting, inciting and enhancing violence
between Moslems and Slavs" was one of the
charges. Aggravating conflict between Slavs
and Moslems and injecting U.S. troops for
future actions to control Caucasus oil exports
was the argument of committee chairman,
Ramsey Clark, former attorney general and a
former marine. He argued that the Orthodox
and Muslim worlds were potential centers of
power that could thwart Washington's
"imperialist objectives." It had been pointed
out that Washington purposefully brought in
Turkish planes (with no military necessity) to
bomb Serbian Slavs in what could have been
an effort to revive centuries old hatreds from
Turkish colonial rule.

Other spokespersons argued all sorts of other
economic motives for the U.S./NATO attack,
trying to rationalize a reason for it, from
promoting sales of American weapons to
taking over Kosovo's giant Trepca mining
complex.

Roland Keith, one of 1,200 former peace
monitors, described his experiences in Kosovo
before all of them were ordered out so NATO
could begin bombing. He said "we were
keeping a lid on the violence." He described
how 20 minutes into his first mission an
accompanying Serbian policeman was shot by
a KLA (Albanian) sniper. He said the violence
came from Serbs reacting to KLA guerrillas.
Keith, a 32-year Canadian army veteran, is a
member of the Federal Council of the New
Democratic Party in Canada. He argued that if
Washington had just offered to remove the
economic sanctions against Yugoslavia (which
were contributing to the poverty of Kosovo) an
agreement might well have been reached.

A main argument of many speakers was that
the Yugoslav parliament had already agreed to
NATO's key demand for much autonomy and
armed U.N. peacekeepers in Kosovo, before
the bombing. It was Washington's insistence
that Serbia allow NATO troops with
extraterritorial legal rights inside Serbia proper
that was the stumbling block.

Quoting William Randolph Hearst's old
dictum, "You provide the photographs, and I'll
provide the war," speakers decried the media's
feeding frenzy for atrocity stories after the
bombing had started. Speaker and author
Michael Parenti argued that it was natural for
refugees to flee the bombing as much as from
Serbian atrocities in areas of KLA activity.
Equally the Air Force bombing of a column of
returning refugees was a message, he argued,
to the Albanians not to return until Serbia had
surrendered. He quoted the German Foreign
Office Report that there was no ethnic
cleansing in Kosovo prior to the NATO attack,
just actions against the KLA guerrillas.

Addressing the question of Serb atrocities,
Parenti quoted the New York Times that there
was no proof of a conscious Serb policy of rape
-- neither in Bosnia nor Kosovo. However,
wartime atrocities were done by both sides.
The "mass graves" found in Kosovo now add
up to maybe 200 persons while the supposed
100,000 dead Albanian males of NATO/U.S.
propaganda was just another lie, he said. Brian
Becker of the IAC argued that the International
Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia
(ICTY) which indicted Milosevic was a "phony,
kangaroo court which only indicted enemies of
Washington" and a court for which the U.N.
Charter makes no provision.

Specific allegations of treaty violations by the
U.S./NATO operation are numerous. The
prime indictment is that of violating the United
Nations Charter by attacking a sovereign
nation that was innocent of any aggression.
NATO also violated Articles 1 and 7 of its own
charter that claim it is a defensive organization,
only committed to force if one or more of its
members are attacked. The NATO Treaty also
explicitly recognized "the primary
responsibility of the U.N. Security Council for
the maintenance of international peace and
security."

Charge No. 6 was "Killing and Injuring a
Defenseless Population Throughout
Yugoslavia." This violated the Hague
Convention, Art. 22 and 23; Geneva
Convention Art. 19; Nuremberg Principle VI a,
b, and c; and the U.S. Constitution, Art 1, Sec 8,
cl.II.

David Jacobs of the Canadian Lawyers Group
said that Clinton's argument about justifying
military interventions for "humanitarian"
reasons recalled Mussolini's arguments
justifying his invasion of Ethiopia to "save
them from slavery," or Hitler's claim of
occupying the Sudetenland "to save Germans
from atrocities." It's just the "same old wolf" of
imperialism.

"Starting an Unprovoked War," was the prime
charge against the Germans at Nuremberg that
the U.S. used to hang Germans. It is part of the
Nuremberg Principles subscribed to by
Washington. William Rockler, a former
Nuremberg prosecutor (Chicago Tribune
5/23), was extensively quoted in the
testimonies.

Charges were divided into three categories.
First was against those nations' leaders that
carried out the attack, the U.S., U.K. and
Germany. Second was against those nations
which provided bases for the attack, Italy and
Turkey. Third was against those NATO
governments that voted to participate.

Ramsey Clark referred to Spanish pilots who
had refused orders to attack civilian targets. A
commission study referred to testimony in the
Spanish newspaper, ARTICULO 20, of Captain
Martin de la Hoz, "Several times our colonel
protested to NATO chiefs about why they
select targets which are not military targets....
They are destroying the country, bombing it
with novel weapons, toxic nerve gasses,
surface mines dropped by parachute, bombs
containing uranium, black napalm,
sterilization chemicals, spraying to poison
crops and weapons of which even we still do
not know anything." The United States and
President Clinton were singled out as the
prime motivator for the war and the
"overwhelmingly responsible nation" for its
atrocities and legal violations.

The indictment and package of 15 research
reports is available from the International
Action Committee, (212) 633-6646.
