From the Archives, 1999: NATO launches air strikes against Yugoslavia
First published The Age on March 25, 1999
(…)
NATO chief Javier Solana ordered attacks against Yugoslavia after President Milosevic rebuffed a last-ditch peace offer and revved up his war machine by declaring a state of emergency — the first since World War II.
„We must stop an authoritarian regime from repressing its people In Europe at the end of the 20th century. We have a moral duty to do so. The responsibility is on our shoulders and we will fulfil it,“ Mr Solana said in Brussels.

There was the ethnic cleansing. The atrocities. The refugees chased out of Kosovo by the Serb army. The mass graves. The heaps of bodies tossed into vats of sulphuric acid at the Trepca mines.

Remember?
If you’re like most people, you have at least a vague recollection of something that seemed to approach a modern-day Holocaust.
Problem is, none of it happened.
What really has happened in Kosovo
(14 May 1999)
In the US-NATO assault on Yugoslavia, accusations of genocide in Kosovo play the same role in the propaganda war as cruise missiles and cluster bombs in the air war. The claims that Serbian troops and paramilitary forces are slaughtering thousands, tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of Kosovar Albanians, the comparisons of Slobodan Milosevic to Adolf Hitler, the invocation of the Holocaust–all these serve as weapons, if not to convince, at least to intimidate public opinion.
The purpose of this propaganda, whose tone has been set by the White House, is to block any critical thought or even serious reflection on the part of the American people about the mushrooming conflict in the Balkans.
Who remembers Joe Biden wanting to bomb Serbia?
Monumental stupidity of online smear artists in action: Last night I RT‘d a simple tweet with a 2-minute video of Biden angrily demanding massive bombing of Belgrade: seems relevant to know for a presidential candidate. ?♂️ Now I‘m a Milosevic apologist, war crimes denier, etc.

Netanyahu-Pompeo Meeting Solidifies War Plan on Iran
The hastily arranged meeting last week between Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had the hallmarks of a war-plan summit amid a peak in renewed media provocation against Iran.
In the last weeks there has been a flurry of US media reports claiming that Iran is secretly moving ballistic missiles into Iraq and elsewhere across the region. As usual the media credulously cite anonymous intelligence and Pentagon officials on those claims.

Intelligence Chief Declassifies Names of Obama Officials Who ‘Unmasked’ Flynn
President Trump’s top intelligence adviser has declassified and may release the names of Obama administration officials who requested the “unmasking” of former Trump national security adviser Mike Flynn, an action that identified him from intelligence reports following Mr. Trump’s election in 2016, a senior government official said.

Schlaglichter einer Demo-Welle
Der Aktivist schien die Einschränkung der Grundrechte nicht so dramatisch zu finden wie ich. Verständnislos sah er mich an und sagte, dass man auf keinen Fall mit Rechten zusammen demonstrieren dürfe. Ja, es gebe auch linken Protest gegen die Corona-Sonderregelungen. Da müsse man schon ein bisschen aufpassen. Aber schließlich sei das Virus gefährlich und in Zeiten globaler Pandemien müsse man solche Einschränkungen eben hinnehmen. Mir war gar nicht klar, dass die Antifa so gehorsam sein kann.
