Neo-war, NATO and the murder of Serbia, by Luís Garcia

DEFINITION OF NEO-WAR 

  • “No, this is not a war, [just] strikes in the name of [the] law.”, Leonel Jospin, former Prime Minister of France;
  • “Humanitarian War”, Tony Blair;
  • “Right to intervene”, Bernard Kouchner;
  • "Responsibility to Protect" (R2P)
  • “Peacemaking”;
  • “Peacekeeping”;
  • “Humanitarian intervention”;
  • “Fair war”;
 
When in 1995 the US / NATO heavily bombed Serbian civilian infrastructure, killing several hundreds of Serbian civilians ("collateral damage", in Pentagonish-Orwellian language) on the way, some of the most prominent Western leaders described these outrageous crimes with some of the most ridiculous euphemisms ever seen.
No Western leader dared to call a spade a spade. Why? Why not just call it war? Invasion? Annihilation? Barbaric destruction of a defenseless nation? No ... they called this war "peacekeeping". Sure, but why?
 
Because, according to the will of NATO warlords, this armed invasion seeking submission could not be declared as such, much less understood as such by the uninformed and easily manipulated western populace.
Because "NATO is the police of the world". And surely police forces are agents of good. And, therefore, NATO does good. And he who does good cannot do evil or be evil, right? And war is a brutal manifestation of evil, right?
'Humanitarian intervention?' Ah, now you are talking! Yes, it sounds wonderful and it gives a fresh brainwash to the consciences of those (among the masses) that are not so big fans of clear excessive use of violence.
War? No, please. "Humanitarian intervention"? Yes, as you wish. The result will always be the same: massacre, destruction, misery, suffering, and death...
 

'COLLATERAL DAMAGES' ON PURPOSE

Here is a confession of a NATO officer to Nouvel Observateur done on July 1st, 1999, on "collateral damages" during the invasion of Serbia, which was, after all, a premeditated act of terror then camouflaged by skillful propaganda tactics (disinformation and forgetfulness, the soft-faces of the neo-war):
 "As for the mistakes, we had a very effective tactic. In most cases we knew the exact causes and consequences of these errors. But to anesthetize opinions, we would say that we were conducting an inquiry and that there were many possible hypotheses. We would only reveal the truth fifteen days later, when no longer anyone would be interested in."

 

Carlos Santos Pereira, in his book on the true face of NATO, confidently says: "And what makes noteworthy the confidence of the NATO officer ... is not the lie itself. It's not even the confessed massacre. It is the presumption of impunity with which bravado is uttered". And so, it is an utterly insane idea to try to argue on the "immaculate face" of NATO. 

  • Ironically, or not, even Henry Kissinger, the terrorist in chief of our time, criticized the treatment given to Serbia during the 1999 bombings: "What kind of humanism is expressed by the refusal to suffer military losses and by the civilian economic devastation of the adversary for next decades?"

 

"I consider it morally odious ... to refuse [the adversary] the most basic recognition that consists of qualifying him as an enemy," said Pierre Manent. This is precisely what happens constantly with NATO's terrorist attacks all over the planet.

Defending its own criminal actions with the fallacious argument of making war for peace with humanitarian wars, NATO and its constituent states humiliate as much as possible the victims of their aggression, not respecting them even as enemies of war, consequently subtracting their victims from their rights (treatment of prisoners, etc.), by moving themselves away from established ethical obligations of war (such as not attacking civil infrastructures unrelated to the war machine of the supposed enemy), and lowering their victims to the condition of ignoble pariahs deserving humiliation or reprimands given by the Police of the Empire (NATO itself), all these under the apathetic gaze of the submissive world's plebe.

"War has its own norms (…), if there is no war, there are no rules, there is no declaration of war (there is no vote in the national assembly), there are no legal quibbles, no place for reparations, no recognition of war crimes." (Daniel Bensaid)

 

WAR IS PEACE

time - bombing serbia

 

IT SEEMS NOBODY KNOWS THE REASON WHY
Many people must already have wondered why the same lovable, friendly and democratic USA who showed up at the very end of the Second World War to save Europe and offer, at first, an economic rebirth, and then, the certitude of perpetual peace, came back at the end of the millennium to bomb most of the Serbian civilian infrastructure (bridges, railways, trains, power stations, food reserves, water reserves, etc), whether or not Serbia was the Slavic demon Western Corporate Lying Media told us it was.
 
Devil Serbia or not, no UN resolution has ever authorized any kind of NATO bombings there. Surely demonic were the minds of those who coldly and consciously authorized the long-term economic destruction of a small country like Serbia simply because it had the courage and the haughtiness to be willing to prove the world that a different politico-economic system, surely wiser than the savage Anglo-Saxon capitalism, could be possible in this post-Cold War and post-Berlin Wall world.
 
Another example of courageous haughtiness is Cuba, a country that knows very well how painful are 50 years of world embargo, a kind of price to pay for being unsubmissive, and also the best tactic the US Terror State found to erroneously prove that the Cuban politico-economic alternative was "not viable" in this mad world of economic dictatorships and genocidal markets imposed by the masters behind the US Terror State.
 
Or even the socialist Bolivarian Venezuela that constantly suffers attacks in the form of attempted coup (2002, 2004, 2007, 2013, 2014), economic sabotage (2003 oil strike, food shortages 2013-2018). So many examples out there!
 "During the Cold War, NATO claimed to be the guardian and the responsible for half a century of peace in the Europe. Ten years after the fall of Berlin Wall, it is at the expense of the bombs and missiles massacring Serbia that NATO, once again, asserts itself as the pivot for European order."1
 
“The NATO bombings openly violated the political and legal rules established by the coexistence of nations. They mark a point of rupture. The principles of law and diplomacy had been smashed by the argument of force. As in 1939, when Hitler launched the Stuka and the Panzer against the Order of Versailles."1

 

I'm not here to deny the crimes committed by certain Serbians against certain Croatians or certain Bosnians, and I'm also aware of the many lies that were propagated by western lying media about crimes Serbians did not commit. Yet, I can not fail to express my discontent and disgust about the propagandist deconstruction of what actually happened then in Yugoslavia, deconstruction unfortunately very well orchestrated by the owners of this planet and their incredible propaganda machine called free press. A few years ago, in a public debate about the Balkan War at the University of Minho (Braga), a former NATO military officer whose name I do not recall made an incredible confession: a few months before the start of hostilities in the Balkans, different Yugoslavian states meeting with representatives of NATO and the EU in Brussels solemnly assured that there would be no bloodshed or armed conflict if Yugoslavia was to collapse.

 

More importantly, this ex-army officer told us that at the time he had the feeling (shared with many other officers) that all the solemn promises were nothing but hollow words meaning terror to come, aggravated by a tense atmosphere of enmity and faked smiles commonly used when one says "white" with words and "black" with body language. From the ex-officer's speech, I got two precious informations: first, the way the summit took place showed to the Western leaders that terror was coming soon but it was still possible to avoid it. Secondly, the fact that such summit was held in Brussels, the fact that it was organized by NATO and the fact that its leaders had consciously covered the premonitions of war, indicates a strong interest (What interest? Certainly the end of the functioning alternative socialist system Yugoslavia had. ) on the collapse of Yugoslavia, regardless of the many unavoidable civilian casualties to happen and regardless of the necessary total destruction of Serbia.

 
 
 
THE OTHER SIDE AND THE REASON WHY
It is interesting to note that everyone has already heard of massacres of Bosnians, massacres of Croatians, Srebrenica, the demonic Serbian figures like Milošević, Karadžić or Mladić, etc (but no one ever bothers to check the veracity of these dubious claims).
If we were to accept (and actually most westerners do) as the holy truth all that has been said in Western media, the conclusion would be obvious: Serbia and the Serbs are hell and their demons.
However, my first visit to Serbia, back in 2008, presented me with the surprise of finding one of the most kind and welcoming people I have ever encountered. 
Going back to the subject, it is unanimously accepted in the West as normal behavior to disregard everything that is related to Serbia. No matter what, "Serbia" sounds like massacre, unfounded hatred and unimaginable horror.
 
Yet, how many of us in the Western world have ever heard about massacres of Serbs? How many heard of Krajina? How many know that even the Croatian army has admitted that their massacres of Serbian civilians would not have been possible without the help of the NATO bombings?
An interesting online article describes with precision the close relationship between the Croatian Armed Forces and NATO, as well as the horrors suffered by Serbian civilians at the hands of these two: The Invasion of Serbian Krajina3.
 
  • "Humanitarian intervention" has been proven to be a selective and arbitrary practice. Serbia is bombed in the name of Albanian rights, but Krajina is wiped out, and the Rwandan genocide occurs with total impunity. The Iraqis are bombed in favor of the Kurdish minority, but the same Kurds are handed over to the Turkish ally. The population of East Timor is sacrificed to please Suharto's appetites, the many Pinochets are armed against the populations of Latin America - all in the name of the same "moral precepts.”1
 
Or, how many ever stopped a second to think about the resignation of Dutch government when it become publicly known that the Dutch Blue Helmets had allowed and assisted - in Srebrenica - to the killing ("genocide" in Western newspeak) of Muslim Bosnians at the hands of the Serbians, with no reaction at all army from the Dutch, as if they were sickeningly expecting to be a Roman audience enjoying the grotesque spectacle of gladiators devoured by wild beasts?
The Dutch government resigned because the embarrassment over the killings was extreme, but no Western media dared to make the crucial conclusions: first, the passive complicity of international Blue Helmets in the killing was not supposed to be publicly known; second, that it was obviously and logically in the best interest of the West (represented by NATO and Blue Helmets) the occurrence of Croatian or Bosnian "genocides", as one of the perverted tools needed to set in motion the destruction of Serbia and the annihilation of its socialist system.
 
And what about the grotesque anti-Serbian television propaganda maneuvers, like the tires burning in Dubrovnik?
 
  • “Devoir d’ingérence [right to intervene in French] – The expression was popularized by the current head of the UN administration in Kosovo in the autumn of 1991. Faced with the television footage showing smoke columns rising from the old walls of Dubrovnik, Kouchner appealed to the four winds to an international punishment against the Serbians . Kouchner knew that the pillars of smoke were caused by tires burned by the Croatians behind the city walls. But the maneuver worked. The prize would come eight years later.”1
 
Or, the very important and absolutely ignored presence of the German army in Croatia during the years preceding the war, secretly training and preparing Croatians for a future event already foreseen by the mighty Germans.
Otherwise, how would such a presence be explained? Why specifically train guerrillas? Why the secrecy on the part of the Germans? Why were the Germans disrespecting the ban on German troops outside of Germany (a result of German defeat in World War II)?
 
FINAL CONCLUSIONS

In my humble opinion, based on the analysis of the facts to which I have access, the Yugoslavian War was an ingenious Western construction, a well-organized facade of an Yugoslavian civil war: trained ethnic minorities with modern weapons, plus outsiders giving military training and ordering those minorities to pressure the Serbs and to threaten them with the possibility of confrontation.

The Serbs bought it and played the same dirty game. The Western media were previously and wisely indoctrinated to demonize Serbia. With the development of the conflict and the number of barbarous occurrences, it was even easier to pass the image of the devilish Serbs.

At the same time, atrocities committed by Bosnians and Croatians were systematically ignored or censored. 

Serbian atrocities were Machiavellianly policed by Blue Helmets, ensuring that the killings would occur and ensuring that they would become publicly known. Every Serbian act of killing a non-Serb (even in self-defense) would be considered a "massacre"; every Serbian killed would be a crime to be ignored.

With all this, of course, the populace quietly accepted the deluge of bombs, the deluge of Western bombs, even the Western terror bombs of depleted uranium over the entire Serbia.

 

And then what? Humiliated Serbians, the economy and infrastructure of the country completely dismantled, a huge civilizational retrogress in Serbia in a country that, until then, was for many a truly socialist model.
The world got a Serbia fallen in the scourge of poverty pragmatically surrendering to the necessity of external aid from the capitalist West responsible for all the chaos.
The communist economy of Cuba was undermined by the means of embargo, sabotage and terror acts committed by the US.
The socialist economy of Serbia was attacked by the mightiness of US bombs.
Two different US-ways to inflict suffering among human beings, both effective in their main purposes: inflict suffering until the unsubmissive ones surrender to the will of the self-proclaimed owners and masters of the universe.
 
After all, it was the very US president at the time, Bill Clinton, who justified the deployment of troops to Bosnia to "above all defend our interests and our leadership in the world". What else to say...
