How Did that Evil Serb Set Fire to a Solid Stone and Brick House with No Wood in
it?
By: Mary Mostert
Is a "good"
Journalist today Required to Report Bill Clinton is a GOOD leader?
"Many burial sites have been found," the fresh faced young spokesman
with a British accent for one of the military groups said at the press conference.
"But, bear in mind, there has been a war going on here." And, so we have people
like Christiane Amanpour announcing what has taken place as an ethnic Albanian returns to
the remains of his home, finding, he says, that 26 of his cousins have been killed and the
home destroyed. Amanpour says the house was
"torched." Perhaps my 29 years as a building contractor is
showing, but the house was clearly a stone house that was stuccoed. I saw no evidence of
wood. What I saw was a masonry building that
appeared to have been bombed. Now,
I don't know who did the bombing, but something more impressive than a match brought down
that masonry building. We were shown grisly remains of humans - in
fact the Albanian pointed to bits and pieces of hair
and teeth and calmly announced that he could recognize his cousin from the teeth (must be
a real forensic expert).
Again, what I saw was broken bits of human parts which appeared to have been
blown up . Was it the result of Serb mortars or NATO bombs? I saw very similar pictures on www.serbia-info.com after NATO
bombed the Serb TV studios, killing a number of people, including a
make-up artist, those who manned the cameras and the production facilities and
journalists.
I also was sent by a reader articles from
the Times in Britain describing a "torture chamber" in Southeast Pristina which contained primitive instruments of torture. "Standing yesterday in
the basement, filled with primitive instruments of torture, Lieutenant Blakeley said:
"The (Serb) commandant was all very friendly and shook my hand. He showed me some of
the rooms because we were afraid the building may have been booby trapped. We didn't go
downsairs or to the top floors. It wasn't until after he had gone that we came down here.
When we say this it was disgusting. It's quite eerie." "Corporal Frank Gostling,
who was guarding the entrance yesterday to prevent evidence being tampered with, said:
'It's obvious what potentially could have occurred there. ...You have strong feelings when
you go into that basement.'"
What "potentially could have occurred?" What actual proof exists that those "primitive torture
instruments" were actually used by the police? Doesn't that whole scenario seem a
little strange? Wouldn't the Serbs blow up or do something to all those primitive
instruments of torture before turning the place over to NATO? Why would the Serbs smilingly and peacefully turn over what writer Michael
Evans described as: "the dark, evil-smelling medieval torture chamber beneath the
Serb Ministry of Interior police (MUP) station" which Evans promptly concluded
"must have been a terrifying descent for the hundreds of ethnic Albanians - men,
women and children - who were dragged from their homes and brought here for interrogation. "All the instruments of torture are on display. Nothing
sophisticated, just brutal weapons held and wielded by the MUP interrogators trying to
find any Albanians who knew about the UCK (the Kosovo Liberation Army): knuckle-dusters
with sharp-pointed edges; truncheons, one split in half by the force of the blows;
cudgels; a long knife, more like a sword with a blade more than 2ft long; a baseball bat;
heavy metal chains; a pickaxe; a large brown leather belt; a car battery for electrode
'treatment'; and a black hood.'"
If you visit Folsom Prison, in Folsom, California , you
can see an entire wall of very primitive weapons, mostly knives - all of them made by the
prisoners to do in their fellow prisoners. Throughout Europe you can find collections of
"primitive torture chambers" - and monuments to man's inhumanity to man. In
fact, if you visit Poland you can visit the Polish government maintained Auschwitz,
Birkenau Concentration camps, preserved as a memorial for all those who perished there
during World War II. Birkenau is not a museum, research archive, or publishing house. It
is preserved more or less in the state it was found at liberation in January 1945. Did any
of the horrified journalists go ask the Serbs what, if anything, they did with that
torture chamber, or have they merely swallowed, hook, line and sinker, a view the KLA
wants to sell the world? I imagine there are Serbs capable of torturing Albanians,
especially after 80 days of seeing their hospitals, TV stations, schools, and churches
bombed. In fact, I suspect there are a lot more
Serbs capable of torturing Albanians and, if they could, American pilots now than there
were three months ago.
One of the investigators for the War Crimes Tribunal stated on CNN yesterday,
"If you have a certain kind of policy, excesses take place." That is certainly
true. The Serbs have observed a certain kind of policy which might create other excesses -
with 80 days of their nation being bombed and struck
with missiles because they would not sign a piece of paper surrendering their sovereignty.
They finally signed a paper - but it did not call for them to surrender their sovereignty.
Now, I realize my skepticism and logical brain is considered very politically
incorrect in the current climate. After all, if it
turns out that the tales of "thousands of Albanians being killed" are not true,
then Clinton and NATO will be seen by the entire world, even the Western World, as
perpetrators of a monstrous policy of aggression similar to that of Adolf Hitler.
One irate reader complained to Mike Reagan, "Is it really in doubt that
literally thousands of Albanians are missing? Does one need to be a brain surgeon to
deduce whose bodies are buried in those graves? I agree that the networks, especially CNN
is happy to show disturbing pictures before they have all the facts but this story is so
obviously transplanted Serb propaganda I can't understand how Mary presents it as factual.
Why can't Mary understand that Albanians were slaughtered? Men, women and children shot,
burned, and beaten. Unfortunately Mary's treatment of the Kosovo conflict reminds me not
only of the apologists for Hitler prior to WWII, but also the modern idiots who claim the
holocaust didn't occur. Today's story is just one more in Mary's continuing string of
stories that attempt so hard to paint Clinton as the bad guy she has lost sight of the
real crimes against humanity."
Well, actually, as editor of the Michael Reagan Information Interchange, I
simply posted a view, as I often do, from a source near Kosovo, this time in Slovakia -
not Yugoslavia - entitled "The X-Files: Whose Mass Graves?" which pointed out
that the "mass graves" are clearly marked with some kind of sign, perhaps names.
Why does everyone assume that all the people in
those graves are Albanians? NATO
claims it has killed 10,000 Yugoslavian soldiers. Where are THEIR graves? The Yugoslav Army and the KLA have been
blasting each other since shortly after the bombing started. How many of the "mass
graves" are the result of those battles? We know of at least two instances when NATO
killed scores of Albanian refugees. What mass grave are they buried in?
If you visit Waregem, Belgium, you can visit the Flanders Field "mass
grave" where thousands of men killed in World War I, including 368 Americans, are
buried side by side. NATO defines a "mass
grave" as a spot where more than three bodies are buried. Quite obviously, after 77 days of bombing, there are going to be
a lot of mass graves scattered around Yugoslavia. Why in the world is the media assuming that those graves contain
bodies of people the Serbs have tortured and killed?
I am accused of a "continuing string of stories that attempt so hard to
paint Clinton as the bad guy." How about that! If I think Clinton is the bad guy, my
critic darkly hints, I am a "modern idiot" who claims "the holocaust didn't
occur" or an "apologist for Hitler prior to WW II." A "good" journalist would be singing Clinton's praises for
bombing Yugoslavia back to the stone age, right? Certainly, in 1941 all "good" journalists in Germany
were expected, in fact REQUIRED, to report Adolf Hitler as a good guy when HE invaded
Yugoslavia.
Well, if that's what a "good" journalist does this day and age, I
guess I'll never make it as a 1990s journalist. I
still think a journalist needs to answer the questions of who, what, when, where , why and
how - before there is enough information to draw a conclusion. And, when I see a solid masonry building with bricks on the
ground, most of the roof gone, bodies covered with loose bricks and body parts lying
about, I just find it very hard to believe that all happened as the result of a fire set
by an evil Serb, as Christiane Amanpour wants us to believe. Those brick and stone walls
look a good foot or more thick. How would a fire set by a Serb cause that kind of damage
to a stone and brick building that appears to have NO wood in the structure?
So, folks, you are going to be regaled
with lots of stories in the next few weeks designed to convince you that Bill Clinton is a
good guy who is telling you the truth about those evil Serbs. I
don't pretend to know exactly who has been killing whom on the ground in Kosovo. All I know for sure is that Bill Clinton's policy has led America
to try very hard to kill as many Serbs as possible because they wouldn't agree to turn
their sovereignty over to NATO and hand mineral rich Kosovo over to the Albanians.
And, as the War Crimes Tribunal investigator noted, "If you have a certain
kind of policy, excesses take place."
Expect more excesses and more war because of Bill Clinton's incredible 77 day
bombing of a small country the size of Kentucky, inhabited by 11 million people, only 63%
of whom were Serbs he was trying to destroy. The next problem which NATO will undoubtedly exploit will be in the
Serbian province of Vojvodina, which has a population of about 300,000 Hungarians,
representing 18% of the province's population. Central Europe Online reports today that
" Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said Wednesday he backs an autonomy plan
proposed by a 300,000-member ethnic Hungarian minority in Serbia, following the Kosovo
crisis."
The Hungarians and Serbs have lived peaceably
together for many years - but I'm sure Bill Clinton can change that!
