Here is an excerpt from the preceding article:
==========================================================================================================================================================================
Recent information emerging from Bosnia-Herzegovina, and particularly from the RS investigations into the Srebrenica affair and other aspects of terrorism in the region, have highlighted the fact that the Clinton Administration had, during the war, facilitated the Islamist terrorist activities because of the Clinton Administration’s need to demonize the Serbs in order to provide a casus belli for US-led military actions in the area to distract from domestic US political problems. Significantly, when the Muslim representatives involved in building the “shrine” in Srebrenica approached New York Mayor Michael Blumberg to establish a sister-city relationship with New York, the Mayor refused, based on intelligence showing the link between the Bosnian Islamists and the al-Qaida attacks on his city.
Amb. Hays’ two-page document was expected to lead to a statement, possibly as early as September 8, 2003, by RS officials, which would not only serve to protect the Clinton Administration officials, including the former US President, but would also serve as an admission of guilt of Serbs for killing thousands of Muslims who, in fact, were not known to have been killed. Several hundred bodies have been found as a result of the fighting in and around Srebrenica, but the Islamists and their supporters have claimed figures which grow higher with each telling, with figures now claiming some 15,000 alleged deaths. At the same time, there is no acknowledgement of the Muslim killing of thousands of Serbs at Srebrenica earlier in the war, when the city was supposed to have been a demilitarized zone.

On a cold and snowy night, I sat in his living room watching a shocking video version of what might have been called Nasir Oric’s Greatest Hits.
There were burning houses, dead bodies, severed heads, and people fleeing.
Oric grinned throughout, admiring his handiwork.
“We ambushed them,” he said when a number of dead Serbs appeared on the screen.
The next sequence of dead bodies had been done in by explosives:
“We launched those guys to the moon,” he boasted.
When footage of a bullet-marked ghost town appeared without any visible bodies, Oric hastened to announce: “We killed 114 Serbs there.”
Later there were celebrations, with singers with wobbly voices chanting his praises.

ICTY: 2 years for Oric
“It is in this regard that the ICTY may have failed,” wrote the newspaper Transitions Online, on July 3 “— not in giving Oric the two-year sentence but in indicting him in the first place, thereby raising the expectation that Bosnian war crimes in and around Srebrenica would finally be properly investigated. (…)
(…) The court is now very likely to close down without ever having adequately dealt with the issue, confirming many Serbs in their view that they are hated by the West and many Bosniaks in their view that they were blameless victims in the war.”

NATO owned ICTY at The Hague Frees the Srebrenica Massacre Islamist Nazi Commander: Mr. Naser Oric
Unlike the deaths of Izetbegovic’s Islamist Nazi troops in combat with the better trained and better disciplined Bosnian Serbian Army(VRS), the REAL Srebrenica “Massacre” (or Srebrenica “Genocide”) NOT reported by the corrupt,racist pro-Islamist Nazi Western corporate controlled media, was the brutal mass murder – using axes,knives,daggers,sledgehammers,
iron bars,flamethrowers and explosives – of 3,870 Serbian elderly men, women and young children in and around the town of Srebrenica and its adjoining villages(Bratunac,Skelani,Zvornik,Kravica,Milici et al) as well as the town of Gorazde from April 1992 to July 1995 by Alija Izetbegovic’s notorious Islamist Nazi troops: foremost among them being mass murderer and Tuzla brothel owner: Mr. Naser Oric . Mr. Naser Oric, in perpetrating these mass slaughters of Serbs was respecting political instructions from Izetbegovic in Sarajevo according to testimony given by the former French UN general in Bosnia, Phillipe Morillon, at the Milosevic “trial” in the NATO owned ICTY at The Hague. Mr. Oric was recently freed by the NATO owned Hague ICTY on Friday, June 30, 2006, after being given a mere 2 year sentence – for murdering 3,870 innocent civilians in and around the Bosnian town of Srebrenica over a 3 year period from April 1992 to July 1995!!
This piece of Islamist Nazi mass-murdering filth was FREED by that corrupt NATO-owned pro-Nazi ICTY kangaroo court in the Hague,Holland (flying the UN flag to claim “legitimacy” and “moral authority”)because the entire edifice of NATO’s massive Goebbels style LIES – and that of their allies in the Western establishment corporate controlled media – used to justify demonizing,embargoing and bombing the Serbs and breaking up their country into NATO/EU run protectorates; the lies about Srebrenica being a helpless,defenseless “safe haven” – would utterly collapse if the horrific crimes of genocide perpetrated by Oric were to be exposed by giving him the appropriate life sentence that he deserved.
Since Mr. Naser Oric had already served 3 years and they only sentenced him to 2 years, NATO’s ICTY decided to RELEASE this SELF-CONFESSED mass murderer of Serbs immediately. AN OUTRAGE to the civilized world and a grievous INSULT to the relatives of the families who were all brutally mudered in such a sadistic,primitive, barbaric manner.There is your so-called NATO/EU “Western liberal multi-ethnic democracies committed to humanitarian values” for you, folks – all paid for with your tax dollars.

Lord Ashdown also FORCED a so-called “confession” by the Republic of Srpska government – threatening to FIRE the Prime Minister and entire cabinet – if they did not issue a bogus report which supported the Izetbegovic SDA Islamist Nazi version of events (i.e., the absurd claim of 7,000 to 8,000 of Izetbegovic’s troops executed)

SERBIAN RESEARCHERS SAY MORE THAN 3,000 SERBS KILLED IN WARTIME SREBRENICA
BBC Monitoring International Reports – June 14, 2005
Text of report by Bosnian Serb news agency SRNA
Belgrade, 14 June: The Belgrade Centre for Researching Crimes against Serbs has found out that 3,227 Serbs were killed or died as a result of torture in the area of the municipality of Srebrenica between 1992 and 1995, and that these are not the final figures, Centre president Milivoje Ivanisevic has said.
According to the Centre’s data, “in Srebrenica itself 469 criminals killed 446 Serbs, in Bratunac 254 criminals killed 447 Serbs, while in Zvornik 100 criminals killed 954 Serbs”.
Ivanisevic told [the Belgrade daily] Vecernje novosti that “every black figure and every name – of victims as well as criminals – is backed by evidence”.
This evidence includes photographs, eyewitness testimony, statements from relatives, municipal death certificates, data on cemetery plots, and priests’ diaries.
“We have all the evidence, and we are also filing descriptions of the crimes and monstrous historical facts. There is no way that someone who is alive could appear on our lists of the dead,” Ivanisevic said.
He added that people from the Hague tribunal had come to the Centre to obtain evidence for the trial of [wartime Srebrenica Muslim commander and former Bosnian President Alija Izetbegovic’s security guard] Naser Oric.
The Centre’s archive is divided into sections corresponding to every village and every town in Bosnia-Hercegovina.

Bosnian Islamist fundamentalist terrorist, Alija Izetbegovic writes in his manifesto, the “Islamic Declaration” (first published in 1970 and re-published in 1990):
“Oh Prophet, incite the believers to combat. If there can be found among you twenty who will endure, they will vanquish two hundred, if one hundred can be found, they will vanquish a thousand infidels, because they are people such as cannot understand.”
Why must infidels be slaughtered? Because “they are people such as cannot understand.” That is, they must be killed for their beliefs.
The philosopher quotes the Qur’an again (and again without preface or comment):
“And combat on Allah’s path those who combat you, and don’t disobey. True, Allah does not love the disobedient! And kill them where you will find them; chase them from where they chased you: association is a graver sin than murder. But don’t fight them near the sacred Mosque unless they fight you there first. And if they fight you there, kill them then. Such is the retribution against infidels. Should they cease, Allah is, surely, forgiving and merciful.”
Consider the statement, “Association is a graver sin than murder.”
What constitutes ‘murder’? If a Muslim kills a non-Muslim, is that murder? Not according to our Islamist philosopher. He has quoted a Quranic text that says the killing of an infidel pleases Allah. Indeed, in the text, Muslims are enjoined not to disobey Allah but to kill infidels “where you will find them.” Since killing infidels is a sacred duty, it can’t be murder.
A Muslim can only commit murder when he kills another Muslim.
Thus, “Association is a graver sin than murder” means that for a Muslim to have cordial relations with a non-Muslim is worse than killing a Muslim!
What is our philosopher telling Muslims? That as long as they live in a non-Islamic society, they must segregate themselves, avoid cordial relations with non-Muslims, and prepare for the day when they can seize state power and enforce the Islamic Order.
This, of course, will guarantee growing tension, leading to civil war…
Our philosopher explains:
“… the Islamic movement may, or rather should, begin by seizing power as soon as it possesses a good measure of moral and numerical strength, allowing it not only to overthrow the non-Islamic power, but also to establish the new Islamic power.”
Doesn’t leave much to the imagination, does it?

Izetbegovic appointed the Muslim National Council (MNC) of Bosnia to achieve long-term aspirations, to create a Muslim state in the Balkans. This state would defend the Muslim interests throughout Yugoslavia, i.e. Sandzak, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Croatia, Serbia). “Rise brother Muslims, there are enough of us to accomplish our goals, whom the Muslim and those of Muslim blood will not betray. This time will never come again. Now is the opportunity to realize the dream of every Muslim” [qouted in Doc Center, 2002 from the Bosnian Muslim magazine VOX]. Among other objectives the MNC was working for were the creation of a Muslim state within the borders of present day B&H and formation of the Muslim Armed Forces.
In October 1991, the MNC defined its political platform:
“The day is nearing when the announced Islamic Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina will be proclaimed. The date, which every Muslim in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Sandzak [Raška] is ardently waiting for has been known for a long time to be the 31st December. There are some indications that the Serbs might oppose this historic event…Every individual Serb must be aware of the responsibility of the entire nation, the penalty for crimes will be collective-for one dead Muslim one hundred Serbs will be liquidated-for one wounded Muslim (depending on the wound severity) 10-50 Serbs will be executed” [ibid].
The document further elaborates how the Serbs would be treated in the Islamic Republic.
“All Serbs will have a 12-hour working day. The wages will be proportionate to the loyalty of all employees and as a rule they will be paid 30 percent less than the wages of Muslims whom occupy the same post … Serbs will receive rations for food, which they will obtain in special shops. Serbs do not have national parties and if they do not abide by the rules of political life, they will not be entitled to political organization or to vote..Serbs are equal to Muslims if, of their own will, they are received into the Islamic faith of their forefathers…A good Serb is a living and obedient Serb or a dead, disobedient Serb” [ibid].
The presidency of the Association of the Islamic Clergy (Ilmia) for B&H offered in 1992 in huge print, run in annual Takvim, the following instruction for jihad:
“Jihad in Islam is not only a war in the name of Allah. In reality, Islam is a revolutionary ideology and program that aims at changing the social system of the whole world and order it in harmony with its regulations and ideals. Islam wants to destroy all the states and governments anywhere on earth which stand opposed to the ideology and program of Islam, regardless of the state or the nation that is in power. The purpose of Islam is to establish the state based on its ideology and program, no matter which nation becomes the bearer of Islam or which nation is undermined in the process of establishing the ideological Islamic state” [ibid].

“This magazine bears a large measure of responsibility for spreading hatred against the Serbs. In the first issues of this “youth magazine” the hatred was directed against the Serbs in Belgade and Serbia and subsequently the magazine started publishing threats and predicting more massacres of Serbs in B & H. The same magazine published documents based on the ideas Izetbegovic presented in his “ISLAMIC DECLARATION”; DECLARATION OF THE SOVEREIGN REPUBLIC OF BOSNIA – HERZEGOVINA; POLITICAL PLATFORM OF THE MOSLEM NATIONAL COUNCIL; WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO SERBS IN THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA; AND OTHERS…” (Excerpted from “The Eradication of Serbs in Bosnia and Herzegovina 1992-1993”)

Izetbegovic’s Islamist fundamentalist religious fanaticism and racist Islamist Nazism can be demonstrated by the fact that he was an Iranian and al Qaeda backed Islamist fundamentalist terrorist publicly committed – through his very own writings – to GENOCIDE of all non-muslims (i.e., mainly Serbs).
Osama bin Laden visited Izetbegovic in his Sarajevo presidential offices on multiple occasions from 1992 to 1994 and Izetbegovic’s Bosnian embassy in Vienna, Austria, issued bin Laden an official Bosnian passport in early 1993; Izetbegovic’s quoting of the Quran in his book “Islamic Declaration” in support of his public commitment to genocide: views which he expressed and re-iterated in a visit to Tehran,Iran in 1991 BEFORE the outbreak of war.
This visit to Tehran occurred a year after his manifesto, the “Islamic Declaration” was re-published in 1990 – it was first published in 1970.So much for the ridiculous reversal of cause and effect best exemplified by the collossal canard of some pro-Islamist Fascist apologists claiming that [to paraphrase]: “Karadzic’s & Mladic’s ‘brutality’ AFTER the outbreak of war caused the Islamist radicalization of the Izetbegovic (SDA party)Bosnian muslims”.

Srebrenica ‘Massacre’: Is The Hague Hyping a Hoax?
Part I [http://emperor.vwh.net/articles/pumphrey/Srebrenica.html]
by George Pumphrey
[Originally posted 8 May 2000 on Emperor’s Clothes http://www.tenc.netand http://www.emperors-clothes.com]
=====================================================================================
=====================================================================================
Five years ago, George Pumphrey wrote “Srebrenica: Three Years and Still Waiting…” That was a ground breaking article because it convincingly challenged the almost unanimous stance of the Western mass media and the political left, right and center, that the Bosnian Serb Army had slaughtered 7000 (or 3000 or 8000) POWs and/or civilians when that Army re-took the town of Srebrenica.
Two years after his first article, Pumphrey produced an entirely new analysis. Though shorter, the new article includes new information and arguments. I find its handling of the labyrinth of contradictory reports about Srebrenica clearer and easier to read as well.
Now on the eighth anniversary of this alleged event (imagine – in our brave new world, we have ‘alleged events’!) Pumphrey’s article takes on special significance. The Hague Tribunal is pressing to get hold of Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic and Serbian Gen. Radko Mladic. And Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic is already in The Hague, fighting the accusation that he is responsible for an alleged massacre which the Tribunal has yet to prove even happened at Srebrenica.

Srebrenica ‘Massacre’: Is The Hague Hyping a Hoax?
Part 1
by George Pumphrey
=====================================================================================
The “massacre of Srebrenica”, where 8,000 Muslim males of military age are reported to have been summarily executed by Bosnian Serbian troops in the aftermath of the takeover of the town, has been termed the worst war crime in Europe since World War II. Most significantly, it has been deemed not merely a crime of war, but evidence of a campaign of genocide, the worst war crime imaginable.
The case of Srebrenica, and the subsequent genocide indictment, can be seen to have brought about a major change in the political and social rules of conduct in international relations, and not only for this region of Europe. A new set of factors has been introduced into world politics. Some of the most important changes are:
The discrediting of the United Nations for supposedly having stood idly by, allowing a “genocide” to take place on territory under its authority, which was a prerequisite for:
Promoting NATO as the world’s new “peace keeping” force, allowing the US-led military alliance to strike and eventually occupy sovereign states or to take sides in civil wars outside the constraints of the democratic and peace-oriented principles of the United Nations Charter;
The relativisation and resulting trivializing of Nazi barbarism, a prerequisite for releasing Germany from its obligations to seek reconciliation with its World War II victims and allowing it once again to exercise military force anywhere in the world;
Creating public acceptance of inquisitorial methods of journalism and judicial inquiry, denying the accused not only the presumption of innocence and the benefit of the doubt, but of long-established democratic rights to proper legal defense;
Undermining journalistic standards of fairness in favor of propaganda in a media industry organically linked to dominant economic and military powers;
The imposition of a discriminatory “moral” double standard of “human rights”, selectively applied in favor of particular national, social, cultural or “ethnic” groups, leaving others without “rights” worthy of respect by Euro-American powers, and therefore:
Growing acceptance of treating a whole nation or people as inherently criminal and therefore unworthy of basic rights of equity before the law.
In short, with Srebrenica important mainstays in the international political order of the post-war period were ushered out the door. This has all been made possible through a massive propaganda campaign spreading the story of a yet-to-be-proven massacre, which has become the key piece of evidence for an also yet-to-be-proven campaign of genocide. Momentous political decisions have been based upon and justified by the supposition that a huge massacre took place in Srebrenica, decisions determining the welfare of the peoples of this region and beyond.
Three years later, in 1998, the effort to find evidence was still underway, as yet more areas in the vicinity of Srebrenica were being dug up in search of the “mass graves” presumed to contain the remains of the victims of the “Srebrenica massacre.” As with previous years’ excavations, representatives of the UN Security Council’s ad hoc International Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia held their press conference at the beginning of the dig.
========================================================
A revealing press conference
========================================================
Information from this press conference, as reported in the New York Times, provokes questions about the basis of the juridical work of this ad hoc Tribunal. Mike O’Connor, reporting on the beginning of a dig in the village of Kamenica, in the spring of 1998, writes that:
“Exhumations in 1996 [the first year of digging] recovered 460 bodies, (…) 7,500 others were still missing from the town of Srebrenica. Finding the others has been the goal of war-crimes investigators for more than two years.”1
Anonymous investigators (investigators for the Tribunal spoke to the reporter “on condition of anonymity”) said that what they hoped to find “will bolster the cases against [the] 2 Bosnian Serb leaders” Radovan Karadzic and Gen. Radko Mladic, indicted for genocide by the Tribunal.1
Two months later, the NY Times reported that the total number missing was 7,300, that 1,000 bodies had been found, but that “only about 15 bodies have been identified.2 Other reports have given similar, though slightly inconsistent, figures.3 This inconsistency is based on the different sources of the figures. Whereas O’Connor sticks to the quasi-official (because least partisan) figures given by the International Committee of the Red Cross, the author of the second Times article, David Rohde, relies on figures from the “survivors” of Srebrenica, meaning Muslim (usually Muslim government) sources. That the Muslim authorities have every reason to exaggerate the number of victims on their side of the conflict is without question and therefore their figures are to be taken with more than a grain of salt. Already throughout the course of the war their estimations of the numbers of dead – widely reported in the press without verification – have had to be revised downward.4 Thus, for this paper, the Red Cross figures will be used.
But if finding the other 7,000 has been the goal of war crimes investigators for more than two years, the question should be raised: on what did the Tribunal base its charges of “genocide” if they did not even have the proof that the massacre for which the two Serb leaders are charged ever occurred? If they now – three years later – are still trying to scrape together enough bodies to make their indictment plausible, on what was their indictment based?
O’Connor writes that the Tribunal now has to try to “prov[e] that the soil around the bodies came from the original mass graves.”5 Does this mean that what they had considered to be “the original mass graves” were either empty or sheltered too few bodies to justify their charges?
Under such circumstances, it appears that the Tribunal charged Karadzic and Mladic according to the principle: “Indict now. Look for evidence of a crime later”. And even when the evidence is not found, there is no suggestion that perhaps the proper course would be to revise the indictment or drop the charges.
Diana Johnstone, who has been closely following the developments in the Balkans, noted in The Nation:
“When, in the early months of the war which raged across Bosnia-Herzegovina in 1992, the Muslim-led government in Sarajevo, seconded by Croatian agencies in Zagreb, presented Western media with reports indicating that the Serbs were pursuing a deliberate policy of genocide, a basic principle of caution, essential to justice was rapidly abandoned. That is the principle that the more serious the accusation, the greater the need for proof, since otherwise accusations will become an instrument of the lynch mob.”6
In the media, each succeeding generation of speculation – even falsification – is built upon preceding generations of unproven reports, many of which were set in motion as deliberate disinformation by secret services and public relations agencies. Once they have been repeated over and over as certainty, anyone who would dare to venture upstream to the source and demand substantiating evidence runs the risk of being verbally lynched for having denied something as obvious as that the earth’s surface is flat.
Given the fact that the number of persons alleged to have been summarily executed could make the difference between a charge of “genocide” and a charge of “war crime”, and faced with the difference between the 8,000 alleged to have been killed and the 460 dead bodies actually found, the first step in beginning to sort out fact from fiction would be to clear up this discrepancy in numbers.
========================================================
Playing the numbers
========================================================
The International Committee of the Red Cross published a press statement on September 13, 1995, which stated:
“The ICRC’s head of operations for Western Europe, Angelo Gnaedinger, visited Pale and Belgrade from 2 to 7 September to obtain information from the Bosnian Serb authorities about the 3,000 persons from Srebrenica whom witnesses say were arrested by Bosnian Serb forces. The ICRC has asked for access as soon as possible to all those arrested (so far it has been able to visit only about 200 detainees), and for details of any deaths. The ICRC has also approached the Bosnia-Herzegovina authorities seeking information on some 5,000 individuals who fled Srebrenica, some of whom reached central Bosnia.”7
The September 15, 1995, New York Times gives another accounting:
About 8,000 Muslims are missing from Srebrenica, the first of two United Nations-designated ‘safe areas’ overrun by Bosnian Serb troops in July, the Red Cross said today. (…) Among the missing were 3,000, mostly men, who were seen being arrested by Serbs. After the collapse of Srebrenica, the Red Cross collected 10,000 names of missing people, said Jessica Barry, a spokeswoman. In addition to those arrested, about 5,000 ‘have simply disappeared,’ she said.8
Aside from simply adding the 3,000 Muslim men in Srebrenica upon arrival of the Bosnian Serb military (who the Serbs then took as prisoners of war) and the 5,000 Muslim men, reported to have left Srebrenica before the arrival of Bosnian Serb forces, to inflate the figures – and therefore the gravity of the accusation – this report makes no mention of the fact that by mid-September 1995 a sizable portion of the group of 5,000 had already reached Muslim territory and safety.
And the fact that the Red Cross was asking the Bosnia-Herzegovina [Muslim] authorities for information about the 5,000 (the original figure) – “some of whom [had already] reached central Bosnia” – has completely disappeared from the news. The entire 5,000 of the one group and the 3,000 of the other are still today – 3 years later – being counted as “missing” and therefore presumed dead.
========================================================
Even the Red Cross played loose with the numbers
========================================================
The Red Cross report was itself lacking the objectivity that one would have hoped for from a non-partisan organization. Its very off-hand “some of whom reached central Bosnia” gives the impression that only a handful could be accounted for by mid-September. But again the press gave another picture. Within a week of the takeover of Srebrenica (July 18, 1995) one learns that:
“Some 3,000 to 4,000 Bosnian Muslims who were considered by UN officials to be missing after the fall of Srebrenica have made their way through enemy lines to Bosnian government territory. The group, which included wounded refugees, sneaked past Serb lines under fire and crossed some 30 miles through forests to safety.”9
Similar reports appeared in other journals at the time. On August 2, 1995, The Times of London published the following:
“Thousands of the “missing” Bosnian Muslim soldiers from Srebrenica who have been at the centre of reports of possible mass executions by the Serbs, are believed to be safe to the northeast of Tuzla. Monitoring the safe escape of Muslim soldiers and civilians from (…) Srebrenica and Zepa has proved a nightmare for the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross. For the first time yesterday, however, the Red Cross in Geneva said it had heard from sources in Bosnia that up to 2,000 Bosnian Government troops were in an area north of Tuzla. They had made their way there from Srebrenica “without their families being informed,” a spokesman said, adding that it had not been possible to verify the reports because the Bosnian Government refused to allow the Red Cross into the area.10
The Washington Post explains: “The men set off at dawn on Tuesday, July 11, in two columns that stretched back seven or eight miles.”11
========================================================
Double counting?
========================================================
Two weeks before the Red Cross representatives Angelo Gnaedinger and Jessica Barry gave their numbers to the press, another spokesperson for the International Red Cross in Geneva, Pierre Gaultier, provided an important detail. In an interview given to the German journal Junge Welt, he explained:
“All together we arrived at the number of approximately 10,000 [missing from Srebrenica]. But there may be some double counting… Before we have finished [weeding out the double counting] we cannot give any exact information. Our work is made even more complicated by the fact that the Bosnian government has informed us that several thousand refugees have broken through enemy lines and have been reintegrated into the Bosnian Muslim army. These persons are therefore not missing, but they cannot be removed from the lists of the missing (…) because we have not received their names.”12
Since the number of “missing” (and therefore assumed dead) has remained at roughly 8,000 throughout the past 3 years, it can be reasonably assumed that the Muslim government has never furnished the Red Cross with the names of those who reached Muslim lines.
========================================================
3,016 massacre victims vote…
========================================================
Also to be noted is that when Prof. Milivoje Ivanisevic at the University of Belgrade took a close look at the Red Cross list, he discovered it contained the names of 500 people who were already deceased before Bosnian-Serb troops entered Srebrenica.
Even more interesting, when comparing the Red Cross’ list with the electoral list for the 1996 fall elections, he also found that 3,016 people listed by the Red Cross as “missing” were on the electoral lists the following year.13 This leads to one of two possibilities: either the Muslims were having their dead vote, meaning that the voters were bogus, and the election a fraud; or the voters were in fact alive, in which case, here is an additional piece of evidence that the massacre is a fraud.
Early in the war, journalists from Time magazine saw through the game being played on the press and international organizations. They wrote: “Bosnian Muslims, fighting at the raw level of their rivals, are likewise guilty of barbarism–and of inflating horror stories about the Serbs to win sympathy and support.”14 It appears that they were not without success.
========================================================
Poor performance by Red Cross and media
========================================================
With deliberately inflated figures clearly being used to fuel a major propaganda campaign to make “Srebrenica” a symbol of Serbian “genocide”, some Red Cross spokespersons in effect became a party to the conflict by failing to bring important information to public attention. It is difficult to understand how correspondents such as Mike O’Connor and their editors could be unaware of the extremely misleading and inaccurate content of the reports they published.
Both Red Cross and UN officials knew that thousands were safe. Yet neither corrected the communiqué given in September. And both failed to report that Ms. Barry’s 5,000 who “simply disappeared,” had in fact simply disappeared back into the ranks of the Bosnian army. The propaganda put into circulation by representatives of the Bosnian government was allowed to stand uncontested even by organizations otherwise seen as non-partisan.
Within days of the take-over of Srebrenica, Zepa, a second Moslem enclave (and UN Safe Area), was also captured by Bosnian Serb forces. Among the defenders of Zepa were hundreds of the “missing” soldiers from Srebrenica. The New York Times recounts:
“The wounded troops were left behind, and when the Bosnian Serbs overran the town on Tuesday, the wounded were taken to Sarajevo for treatment at Kosevo Hospital. Many of them had begun their journey in Srebrenica, and fled into the hills when that ‘safe area’ fell to the Bosnian Serbs on July 11. These men did not make it to Tuzla, where most of the refugees ended up, but became the defenders of Zepa instead. ‘Some 350 of us managed to fight our way out of Srebrenica and make it into Zepa,’ said Sadik Ahmetovic, one of 151 people evacuated to Sarajevo for treatment today. (…) They said they had not been mistreated by their Serb captors.”15
It might seem strange that the Muslim soldiers of Zepa would abandon their wounded comrades and that 5,000 Srebrenica soldiers would abandon their women and children to an enemy with a reputation – at least in the media – of being sadists, and rapists seeking to commit “genocide”. Could it be that these Muslim soldiers knew that they need not be particularly worried about their women, children and wounded comrades falling into the hands of their Serbian countrymen? The Serbian forces had the wounded Muslim soldiers evacuated behind Muslim lines to their Muslim hospital in Sarajevo. Is this how one goes about committing genocide? Is this the military force compared to Nazis? What a trivialization of Nazi barbarism!
The London Times article quoted above mentions that 2,000 Srebrenica soldiers made their way to the north of Tuzla “without their families being informed”. Were their families ever informed? Other than the very few articles that took notice of their resurrection from the presumed dead, the public at large was never informed that they were in fact alive. On the contrary. And the women of Srebrenica continue to demonstrate demanding information about their loved ones, whom they believe are still alive.
========================================================
Supposed massacre victims are secretly sent to other countries!
========================================================
To maintain the hoax, it is not only necessary to create the illusion that the proof of a massacre exists, but it is also necessary to suppress any evidence that it did not happen. Not only must the 5,000 never be accounted for, but not too many of the 3,000 listed by the Red Cross as prisoners of war must be allowed to return “from the dead.”
On January 17, 1996, the British daily “Guardian” published an article concerning one group of the former Muslim POWs from Srebrenica and Zepa, who, once liberated from a POW camp, were flown directly to Dublin:
“Hundreds of Bosnian Muslim prisoners are still being held at 2 secret camps within neighboring Serbia, according to a group of men evacuated by the Red Cross to a Dublin hospital from one camp – at Sljivovica. (…) A group of 24 men was flown to Ireland just before Christmas [1995](…). But some 800 others remain incarcerated in Sljivovica and at another camp near Mitrovo Polje, just three days before the agreed date for the release of all detainees under the Dayton peace agreement on Bosnia(…). The Red Cross in Belgrade has been negotiating for several weeks to have the men released and given sanctuary in third countries. A spokeswoman said most were bound for the United States or Australia, with others due to be sent to Italy, Belgium, Sweden, France and Ireland. (…) Since late August, the Red Cross has made fortnightly visits from its Belgrade field office. (…) Teams from the War Crimes Tribunal at The Hague have been in Dublin to question and take evidence from the men.”16
Why would prisoners of war, whose normal first wish upon being freed would be to be reunited with their families and to restart their interrupted lives in peacetime, be rushed off to Dublin, with “papers to remain in Ireland”? Why would the Red Cross – usually known for reuniting families – be seeking to secretly spirit them out of their homeland, away from their family and friends? Were their families ever informed?
The ex-prisoners were widely dispersed. For instance, to a second country…
[The] US decided to accept 214 Bosniaks who, (…) had been detained in Serbian camps and give them refugee status.17
Why have neither the Red Cross (which has been visiting the prisoners since August 1995), nor the Tribunal (in its search for evidence of a “genocide” in Bosnia, for which Srebrenica is slated to be the centerpiece), nor the American government made mention since August 1995 of these men being given refugee status?
And to a third country…
In 1996, the pro-government (Muslim) news agency TWRA reported:
“[One] Hundred-three Bosnian soldiers who were recently released from prisons in Serbia, were sent to Australia against their will”, claims their commander, Osmo Zimic. Zimic also criticizes the UNHCR, whose spokesman claimed these soldiers demanded departure to Australia and by no means return to Bosnia for they would allegedly face criminal charges as deserters there. “This is not true”, says Zimic. Australian immigration & ethnic affairs office spokesman says he was informed [of] Zimic’s allegation from the Bosnian embassy in Canberra and that the investigation was initiated.”18
“The Bosnian Embassy in Australia requested the Hague International Tribunal (ICTY) to start an investigation on the deportation of Bosniaks (800 persons) from Serbia to Australia and Europe in which, supposedly, UNHCR assisted, instead [of] involving Bosniaks in the exchange of prisoners, esp. for they had been in the camps in Serbia which claimed not to be involved in the war in Bosnia. The principal witness for the prosecution is Osmo Zimic, a Bosnian Army Officer, one who had been deported to Australia against his will.”19
It seems as though the Red Cross, the UNHCR, and a host of “western” governments around the world were engaged in hiding the fact that these men were not massacred.
Who stood to gain?
As a result of the Srebrenica hoax, a new order of the world is beginning to take shape, where the UNHCR assists in creating refugees, where the Red Cross helps separate families and where Tribunals indict first and look for crimes later.
Before discovery of conclusive evidence that the alleged crime has even been committed, the indictment alone is made to serve as punishment. This reverses the principle of “innocent until proven guilty” and amounts to inquisitorial justice. For three years the Tribunal has been searching for evidence of an alleged genocide which has already largely served its political purpose. Now the search is on for a retrospective judicial fig leaf.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
Ten years of reflection since the end of the war in Bosnia should have provided ample time to put that conflict into proper historical perspective. But judging from a recently proposed, but politically skewed, US Congressional resolution, such is not the case. The resolution in question singles out and seriously inflates reported abuses by Bosnian Serb forces following the capture of Srebrenica in 1995, and conveniently ignores equally brutal and even larger military operations directed against the ethnic Serb civilian population, both before and after Srebrenica, in the UN protected areas of Western Slavonia and the Krajina. These brutal, ethnic cleansing attacks were conducted by Croatian forces armed, trained and logistically supported by the US.
In the autumn of 1995, former Deputy NATO Commander Charles Boyd, noted in Foreign Affairs that
“more than 90 percent of the Serbs of Western Slavonia were ethnically cleansed when Croatian troops overran that UN protected area in May …This operation appears to differ from Serbian actions around the UN safe areas of Srebrenica and Zepa only in the degree of Western hand-wringing and CNN footage the latter have elicited. Ethnic cleansing evokes condemnation only when it is committed by Serbs, not against them.”
Operation Flash, which took place a more than a month before Srebrenica, was a straight out attack on the civilian population – men, women and children – of a UN Protected Area (UNPA), directly authorized by US President Bill Clinton. “Many Serbs perished in heavy Croatian tank, artillery and aerial bombardments on Monday and Tuesday as they tried to flee southward toward the Sava River bridge into Bosnia,” wrote Roger Cohen of The New York Times, adding “The estimate of 450 Serbian dead given by Gojko Susak, the Croatian Defense Minister appears to be conservative.” Very conservative. Officials of the Serbian Orthodox Church put the number of murdered civilians in the thousands.
“By acquiescing to the Croatian Government’s seizure of Western Slavonia,” European Union envoy Lord David Owen, observed, “the [US-dominated] Contact Group had in effect given the green light to Bosnian Serbs to attack Srebrenica and Zepa.” Under existing UN resolutions, an attack on a safe area could be used to justify NATO intervention. This was a policy that the US used selectively, denying requests (including at least one from the UNPROFOR Commander in Sarajevo) to punish Muslim or Croatian violations, but urging NATO bombing when Bosnian Serbs responded to provocations out of “safe zones” that had never been demilitarized. UN Gen. Francis Briquemont wrote in 1994:
“The Bosnian Army attacks the Serbs from a Safe Area, the Serbs retaliate, mainly on the confrontation line, and the Bosnian Presidency accuses UNPROFOR of not protecting the them against Serb aggression and appeals for air strikes against the Serb gun positions”
In his book, Balkan Odyssey, Lord Owen makes it clear that the establishment of “safe area” by the Security Council, without demilitarizing them was “the worst decision of my time as Co-Chairman [of the International Conference on Yugoslavia]”.
While extensive human rights abuses were documented on all sides throughout the conflict, it was the Muslim side, which used them best as a powerful weapon to gain sympathy from the international community. When Bosnian Foreign Minister Haris Silajdzic told a press conference in Sarajevo that “70,000 people” had been killed near Bihac in November of 1994, his demands for NATO air strikes received wide news coverage. UN investigators, however, later told BBC reporter John Simpson that “fewer than a thousand” people had been killed around Bihac, a battle which began when Muslim forces attacked the nearby Serb-held Grabez plateau, provoking a sustained counter-attack.
A recent video screened at the War Crimes Tribunal [International Criminal Tribunal on the former Yugoslavia: ICTY] purportedly showed the execution of six Muslims by Serbian paramilitaries in Treskavica, and was being used, illogically, as “proof” of highly inflated estimates that the Bosnian Serb Army killed 7,000 Muslims following the capture of Srebrenica in Eastern Bosnia. If the Bosnian Serbs executed six Muslims, the “logic” goes (and the authenticity of the film is yet to be established), then Bosnian Serbs clearly executed 7,000 Muslims in their attack on Srebrenica.2
Meanwhile, for the first three years of the war in Bosnia, Srebrenica was the stronghold of Muslim warlord Naser Oric, who showed home video tapes of massacres his soldiers carried out against Serbian villages to The Washington Post reporter, John Pomfret, and Toronto Star reporter Bill Schiller. Schiller writes that Oric was “as bloodthirsty a warrior who ever crossed a battlefield” and recounts a visit to the warlord’s home in January 1994:
On a cold and snowy night, I sat in his room, watching a shocking video version of what might have been called Naser Oric’s Greatest Hits. There were burning buildings severed heads and people fleeing. Oric grinned throughout, admiring his handiwork. We ambushed them,” he said. The next sequence of dead bodies had been done in by explosives. ‘We launched those guys to the moon,’ he boasted. When a bullet-marked ghost town appeared without any visible bodies, Oric hastened to announce ‘we killed 114 Serbs there’. Later there were celebrations, with singers with wobbly voices, chanting his praises.
According to former UNPROFOR Commander Gen. Phillip Morillon, Nasir Oric “appeared to be respecting political instructions coming from the Presidency in Sarajevo”, an observation which is confirmed by Gen. Sefer Halilovic, Commander of Muslim Army of Bosnia-Herzegovina. For several years early in the conflict, the Serbian population of Srebrenica and scores of nearby villages were ether killed or forced to flee because of Oric. On May 8, 1992, Oric’s forces assassinated Judge Goran Zekic President of the Serbian SDS Party in Srebrenica, triggering an exodus of 1,500 Serbs in Srebrenica. Scarcely a day went by without scorched earth attacks on nearby villages on towns and villages such as Bratunac, Sikirici, Konjevic Polje, Glogova, Zalazje, Fakovici, Loznica, Orlice, Biljaca, Crni Vhr, Milici, Kamenica, and Kravica. The massacre at Kravica, occurred on Orthodox Christmas Eve the Serbs’ most important holiday. Writing in the London based South Slav Journal, reporter Joan Phillips observed that by March 31, 1993, at least 1,200 Serbs had been killed and another 3,000 wounded by Oric’s forces. She added:
Today there are virtually no Serbs left in the entire Srebrenica municipality. Out of 9,300 Serbs who used to live there, less than 900 remain. Out of 11,500 Serbs who used to live in Bratunac municipality, more than 6,000 have fled. In the Srebrenica municipality, about 24 villages have been razed. The last major Serbian villages in the vicinity of Bratunac and Skelani were attacked and destroyed on January 7, 1993.
Why, then, despite massive and detailed evidence provided to the UN in 1993, did the Ad Hoc War Crimes Tribunal not indict Naser Oric until 2002, and even then, on relatively minor charges of “mistreating” prisoners. The systematic slaughter of the Serbian civilian population in the area west of the Drina River apparently did not qualify as a “crime against humanity”.
By contrast, the quick decision to charge Bosnian Serb leaders with “genocide” after the capture of Srebrenica reflected political correctness by the Tribunal, whose staff had been largely appointed by Madeleine Albright, then serving as US Ambassador to the UN. Meanwhile, a soon-to-be-released report by the Srebrenica Research Group, a group of journalists and academic researchers led by University of Pennsylvania Professor Ed Herman, raises serious doubts about the official version of events at Srebrenica, including bias, inflated casualty numbers, and dubious methodology used to justify estimates that were made before investigations had even begun.
Significantly, the portrayal of events at Srebrenica, is also challenged by senior UN and NATO officials on the scene in Bosnia. These include, as noted previously, NATO’s Deputy Commander Charles Boyd, who was NATO’s Director of Intelligence; Lt.-Col. John Sray; UN Civilian Affairs Coordinator Phillip Corwin; and Carlos Martins Branco, UNMO (UN Military Observer) Deputy Chief of Operations of the UNPF (United Nations Population Fund), who debriefed UN military observers posted to Srebrenica. Corwin, the most senior UN civilian official in Bosnia at the time of the capture of Srebrenica, and the author of Dubious Mandate, a personal account of the last year of the war, states that the official version of events at Srebrenica has been a “campaign of disinformation that has all but buried the facts along with the bodies”.
Branco, a Portugese UN military official states that casualty estimates of 7,000 have been “used and manipulated for propaganda purposes.” He wrote in 1998 that “there is little doubt that at least 2,000 Bosnian Muslims died in fighting the better trained and better commanded BSA [Bosnian Serb Army]” in three years of fierce fighting. This is roughly the number of bodies (2,028) which were exhumed by the International Criminal Tribunal on Yugoslavia (ICTY) in the region by the year 2001. Many, perhaps most, of these deaths occurred before the fall of Srebrenica, according to Branco.
Preparing a Sacrifice
The question is why? Why did the Bosnian Government in Sarajevo withdraw 18 top officers of the 28th Division of the Army of Bosnia-Herzegovina, including its top officers, including Naser Oric and Zulfo Tursunovic, only a month before the fall of Srebrenica, supposedly for training exercises in Zenica? Why did the Muslim military command in Sarajevo order the remaining, nearly leaderless 28th division in Srebrenica to mount a meaningless attack on the strategically unimportant Serb village of Visnica just days before the Serbs captured Srebrenica? Was it to provoke a Serbian counter-response, as had occurred repeatedly in other safe areas?
In testimony at The Hague, Gen. Sefer Halilovic, commander of the Army of Bosnia-Herzegovina acknowledged that “there were a large number of orders for sabotage operations from the safe areas”. He also confirmed that 5,500 members of the 28th Division were based in Srebrenica, before its capture and that he had sent eight helicopter loads of ammunition to Srebrenica and Zepa, from Tuzla, in violation of the demilitarization agreement. (The US Government violated its own arms embargo by flying tons of military equipment including stinger missiles to Muslim forces through secret C-130 flights to Tuzla airport at night.) Significantly, Halilovic also acknowledged that Srebrenica, was captured by a small force of only 200 Serb soldiers (“chetniks”), supported by five tanks.
Yet Dutch military observers told The New York Times that the much larger Muslim force simply fled along with most military age males in the two days before the Serbs entered to take the nearly empty town on June 11, 1995. Women, children and elderly men, meanwhile, fled to nearby Potocari, where negotiations resulted in UN supervised safe passage for civilians to Muslim-held Tuzla, in buses provided by the Bosnian Serbs.
British military analyst Tim Ripley writes that prior to its capture, Dutch troops “saw Bosnian troops escaping from Srebrenica move past their observation points carrying brand new anti-tank weapons. This and other similar reports made many UN officers and international journalists suspicious.” Carlos Martins Branco writes that “Muslim forces did not even try to take advantage of their heavy artillery, under control of the United Nations (UN) forces at a time in which they had every reason to do so … Military resistance would jeopardize the image of ‘victim’, which had been so carefully constructed, and which the Muslims considered vital to maintain.”
Was Srebrenica sacrificed by the leadership in Sarajevo in order to draw in NATO intervention on behalf of the Muslim side? That is the opinion of Ibran Mustafic head of the ruling party (SDA) in Srebrenica as well as his antagonist, Hakija Meholic, who served as police chief under Naser Oric. Mustafic later told Slobodna Bosna that orders from Sarajevo to attack the Bosnian Serb army in early July 1995 were part of a deliberate strategy to promote Western intervention:
The scenario for the betrayal of Srebrenica was consciously prepared. Unfortunately, the Bosnian Presidency and the Army command were involved in this business…Had I received orders to attack the Serb army from the demilitarized zone, I would have rejected to carry out that order without thinking, and would have asked the person who had issued that order to bring his family to Srebrenica, so that I can give him a gun and let him stage attacks from the demilitarized zone. I knew that such shameful, calculated moves were leading my people to catastrophe. The order came from Sarajevo.
A UN report “The Fall of Srebrenica”, issued in 1999 by Secretary-General Kofi Annan denied that a US sponsored deal had been struck to exchange Srebrenica and other eastern Bosnia enclaves for Serb held Vogosca near Sarajevo. In fact, however, this exchange became a key goal of US policy as early as 1993, according to Branco:
[then US Ambassador to the UN] Madeleine Albright suggested this exchange on numerous occasions to [Bosnian President Alija] Izetbegovic, based on proposals of the Contact Group. The truth is that both the Americans and President Izetbegovic had tacitly agreed that it make no sense to insist on maintaining these isolated enclaves in a divided Bosnia. … In 1995, the month before military operations in Srebrenica, Alexander Vershbow, Special Assistant to President Clinton stated that ‘American should encourage the Bosnians to think in terms of territories with greater coherence and compactness.
The problem for Alija Izetbegovic was that he felt he could not publicly acknowledge these discussions or he would lose the hardline support which had brought him to power.
In an interview with the Bosnian Muslim publication Dani, Hakija Meholic, the police chief of Srebrenica, recalled that at the Bosniak conference in Sarajevo in September 1993, Izetbegovic claimed to have discussed various scenarios for Srebrenica with President Clinton. According to Meholic, an ally of Naser Oric:
We were received there by President Izetbegovic, and immediately after the welcome he asked us: “What do you think about the swap of Srebrenica for Vogosca?” There was a silence for a while and then I said: “Mr President, if this is a done thing, then you should not have invited us here, because we have to return and face the people and personally accept the burden of that decision.” Then he said: “You know, I was offered by [US Pres. William] Clinton in April 1993 that the Chetnik [derisory term used for Serbs] forces enter Srebrenica, carry out a slaughter of 5,000 Muslims, and then there will be a military intervention.”
Meholic also recounted this incident for a Dutch documentary. Pres. Izetbegovic was later questioned about the incident by UN investigators and denied he made the statement regarding his discussion with Pres. Clinton. While there is no way to confirm that President Clinton actually made such a proposal to Izetbegovic, however hypothetical, there were at least eight surviving witnesses to confirm what Izetbegovic told the Srebrenica delegation. Nor would it have been out of character for Izetbegovic to approve a plan which would sacrifice lives of his citizens for the cause, or to inflate the number of casualties for propaganda purposes.
Shortly before his death in 2003, Izetbegovic confessed to Bernard Kouchner, of the Physicians Without Borders humanitarian organization and former US envoy Richard Holbrooke, that during the war he had falsely accused the Serbs of running “extermination camps”, according to a recent book by Kouchner. During the Bosnian war, all sides — Muslim, Croat and Serb — ran POW camps which were visited and criticized by the International Committee of the Red Cross. “There were no extermination camps, whatever the horror of those places,” Izetbegovic acknowledged to Kouchner and Holbrooke. “I thought my revelations would precipitate bombing [against Serbs].”
“Holocaust comparisons evoke powerful feelings and images, but in this case exist only in the fertile imaginations of media sound bite writers,” wrote US military analyst Lt.-Col. John Sray. “Popular perceptions pertaining to the Bosnian Muslim Government (Bosniaks as they prefer to be called) have been forged by a prolific propaganda machine … which includes public relations (PR) firms in the employ of the Bosniaks, media pundits and sympathetic elements of the US State Department.” By the summer of 1995 “the advocacy rhetoric regarding the Bosnian Muslim government in Sarajevo finally grew sufficiently deafening enough to dupe NATO into prosecuting the civil war against the Bosnian Serbs”.
On July 9, 1995, two days before the Bosnian Serbs captured the city, Pres. Izetbegovic called on Pres. Clinton to prevent “terrorism and genocide” at Srebrenica. On July 24, 1995, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Henry Wieland, whose team had spent five days interviewing scores of refugees among 20,000 Srebrenica survivors gathered at the Tuzla airport, told the London newspaper, The Daily Telegraph: “We have not found anyone who saw with their own eyes an atrocity taking place.”

Just three days later, however, indictments of Bosnian Serb Gen. Ratko Mladic and Bosnian Serb Pres. Karadzic for genocide were announced by the War Crimes Tribunal, whose Chief Judge, Antonio Cassesse, of the Tribunal, casting any pretence of objectivity aside, called them “a great political result … The indictment means that these gentlemen [Mladic and Karadzic] will not be able to take part in peace negotiations.” The Boston Globe reported the same day: “The Clinton Administration has not obtained independent confirmation of atrocities [at Srebrenica], but does not doubt that they have occurred … ‘The bottom line is these guys have been indicted as war criminals,’ said a State Department spokesman.”
“I realized that the War Crimes Tribunal was a very valuable tool,” Richard Holbrooke told the BBC. “We used it to keep the two most wanted war criminals in Europe out of the Dayton process and we used it to justify everything that followed.” What followed, was Operation Deliberate Force, a US-led NATO bombing campaign which had clearly been planned well in advance against Bosnian Serb targets in Vogosca and near Gorazde. “We have become the Muslim Air Force,” a US officer told former New York Times reporter David Binder. Less than a week later, Operation Storm was launched, when US-backed Croatian forces, attacked on all fronts against the Serbian civilian population of the Krajina region, driving 200,000 ethnic Serbs from their homes and then methodically killing the mostly elderly population who were unable to flee.
Operation Storm was, by all accounts, the largest ethnic cleansing operation to date in the former Yugoslavia. In violation of UN Security Council resolutions, but with strong US support and planning, the Croatian Army then entered into Bosnia and launched a joint ethnic cleansing operation with Muslim forces against Serb inhabited territories in western Bosnia which displaced another 100,000 ethnic Serb civilians. In To End a War, Richard Holbrooke’s self-serving account of this period, the former US envoy boasts that he even advised Croat Muslim forces on specific Serbian towns to attack in Western Bosnia.
Was there “Genocide” at Srebrenica?
Unlike US-supported attacks by Croatian troops on Serb-inhabited UN Protected Zones (Western Slavonia and the Krajina), the Bosnian Serb Army’s capture of Srebrenica was a predictable response to military provocations. Unlike the Croatian operations Flash and Storm, the Bosnian Serbs helped arrange a massive safe passage operation to Tuzla for thousands of Srebrenica residents who chose to leave from nearby Potocari where the buses were deployed. By the first week of August 1995, 35,632 people had registered with the World Health Organization and Bosnian Government as displaced persons, survivors of Srebrenica. If the goal of the Serbs had been genocide, or even an act of genocide, there would have been no safe passage for the civilian population. According to Carlos Martins Branco, “if there had been a premeditated plan of genocide, instead of attacking in only one direction, from the south to the north – which left the possibility of escape to the north, the Serbs would have established a siege in order to ensure that no-one escaped.”
The premise that Serbian forces executed 7,000 to 8,000 people “was never a possibility,” according to former BBC journalist Jonathan Rooper, who has investigated the events that followed the capture of Srebrenica on site and through official records over many years, and whose findings are presented in the upcoming report of the Srebrenica Research Group. He points out that numerous contemporary accounts noted that UN and other independent observers had witnessed fierce battles as the Muslim 28th Division and military age men accompanied them.
The official numbers provided also preclude the possibility of such a large number of executions. In addition to the 35,632 registered survivors, the International Committee of the Red Cross observed that “several thousand men,” (at least 3,000) who fled from Srebrenica with the 28th Division had survived the harrowing journey across Serb held territory and were redeployed to fight elsewhere “without their families being informed.” Dutch military observers and British SAS intelligence officers in Srebrenica witnessed a bitter battle between Muslim factions, before the Serbs entered the town. These observers say that the clash between Muslim men who wanted to stay and defend the town and those who followed orders to evacuate, left about 100 were killed and their bodies were left where they had fallen. Some 700 Muslim soldiers from Srebrenica made their way to Zepa, emerging safely when that town fell to the Serbs during the last week of July 1995.
“Taking all these factors together, in order for 7,300 people from Srebrenica to have been massacred, the population of the safe area before it fell to the Serbs, would have had to be well over 46,000 – a figure far in excess of any credible figure put forward at the time,” Rooper reports. Patricia Wald, one of the Tribunal Judges who convicted Bosnian Serb Gen. Radislav Krstic of crimes at Srebrenica, wrote an article on the case for Georgetown Journal of Legal Ethics in 2003 where she states that “prior to the attack, Srebrenica was a village of some 37,000 inhabitants”.
“Judge Wald was apparently supremely unaware that her own figure made it impossible for the crimes for which Krstic was convicted to have taken place,” Rooper states. According to Michael Mandel, Professor of International law at York University in Toronto
The Tribunal’s claim genocide occurred at Srebrenica was not supported by the facts it found or by the law it cited. Even the trial chamber’s conclusion that ‘Bosnian Serb forces executed several thousand Bosnian Muslim men [with the] total number of victims … likely to be within the range of 7,000 to 8,000 was not supported by its specific findings.
Mandel notes that Tribunal only ‘suggested’, rather than proved, that the majority of (2,028) bodies actually exhumed by the ICTY had been killed in executions rather than in the many battle reported between Bosnian Serb forces and the Muslim 28th Division column retreating toward Tuzla after the capture of Srebrenica. Internationally respected military forensic specialist Dr Zoran Stankovic, who reviewed the findings of the six experts employed by the Tribunal wrote that the effort lacked standard procedures, several of experts also lacked familiarity with wounds inflicted by military ordinance and some parts of the reports are “contrary to the generally acceptable forensic standards”.
According to Dr Stankovic, many of the bodies exhumed from 17 gravesites were found in an advance state of decay “skeletonized, disarticulated and decomposed” lacking soft tissue and body parts that could help determine the cause of death. “Ascertainment of the cause of death in the cases of decomposed bodies is generally extremely difficult and in most cases impossible…It is not allowed that [ICTY] experts provide their opinion in that regard and put forward the assumption having no grounds in autopsy findings.”
Some executions did take place at the hands of paramilitaries and a mercenary group led by Drazen Erdemovic, who was arrested in Novi Sad, Serbia, and turned over to The Hague in 1996. Between 200 and 300 blindfolds and ligatures were exhumed with bodies by the ICTY, and as Dr. Stankovic notes, these are sure signs of execution. “It is a crime, whether it is 300 or 30 or three persons killed in this way, but using a false number such as 7,000 and calling it “genocide” indicates that Srebrenica is still being used 10 years later as a political issue,” says Phillip Corwin, the former UN Civilian Affairs Coordinator in Bosnia when Srebrenica was captured.
False Witnesses, Unreliable Testimonies
But other reports of massacres came from a handful of individuals close to Naser Oric, including his cousin, Mevludin Oric, whose claims to being eyewitnesses to such events, were repeatedly undermined by contradictory accounts given to different reporters. One witness, Smail Hodzic, told Alexandra Stiglmayer of Die Woche that he had been captured and taken to “a basketball stadium near Bratuanac” and taken to “a large field not far from a forest”. Hodzic, however told another reporter Roy Gutman, that he had been held in a soccer stadium in Nova Kasaba, but then, he and others were moved to be killed, “probably in a town called Grbavce”. In a third interview with Aida Cerkez of the Associated Press, Hodzic now claimed that he went through the same experience as Mevludin Oric, this time being held in “a school in Krizevci”, before being taken for execution not far from Karakaj.
Several of these alleged eyewitnesses told reporter Louise Branson of The Sunday Times and Robert Block of The Independent contradictory stories, that thousands were executed, either at a school in one version, or at a nearby sports complex. Human Rights Watch, which acknowledged it had not been able to trace survivors of such crimes, called for “more detailed investigations.” However, Dutch UN officer Captain Shouten, who was the only UN officer in Bratunac during the period when this bloodbath was alleged, told the Dutch newspaper Het Parool on July 27
“Everybody is parroting everybody, but nobody shows hard evidence. I notice that in the Netherlands people want to prove at all costs that genocide has been committed. … If executions have taken place, the Serbs have been hiding it damn well. Thus, I don’t believe any of it. The day after the collapse of Srebrenica, July 13, I arrived in Bratunac and stayed there for eight days. I was able to go wherever I wanted to. I was granted all possible assistance; nowhere was I stopped”
The trial of General Radislav Krstic, demonstrated, that faced with years of prison, Serbs were equally capable as their Muslim counterparts of providing false testimony used to prop up the official version of events at Srebrenica. During the trial, a Serbian military officer named Momir Nikolic claimed that he had supervised the massacre of more than a thousand Bosnian Muslims at a warehouse in Kravica, but under cross examination, by defense lawyer Michael Karnavas, Nikolic admitted that he not only didn’t give the order; he wasn’t even present.
“You needed to give him [the prosecutor] something he did not have, right?” said defense attorney Michael Karnavas. “You wanted to limit your time of imprisonment to 20 years, that was part of the arrangement, yes? Quid pro quo?”
“I did not tell the truth when I said that,” Nikolic admitted. “I lied.”
The key witness used by the Tribunal to support the contention that Bosnian Serb leaders ordered executions at Srebrenica, was Drazen Erdemovic, leader of a mercenary group who was arrested in Serbia in 1996 after he was injured in a drunken shooting incident involving another member of his group. For myriad reasons, it would be hard to find a less reliable witness than Erdemovic, an ethnic Croat from Tuzla, who claims to have fought previously at various times for the Army of Bosnia Hercegovina and the Bosnian Croat HVO.
Erdemovic claims that his group of eight was ordered to execute Muslims at Branjevo military farm near Pilica by a Lt.-Colonel, but this officer is never identified. Erdemovic states that members of his group had been paid 12 kilos of gold, but was not able to remember who provided the funds. Anxious to use his testimony, but unwilling to expose him to cross examination, the Tribunal concluded on June 27 that Erdemovic’s mental condition did not permit his standing trial.
Yet, based on a plea bargain with prosecutors, Erdemovic was allowed to participate in the farcical Rule 61 hearings later that year against Bosnian Serb leaders Karadzic and Mladic, a trial-by-media procedure which allowed uncorroborated testimony to be provided without cross examination. Legal experts were scathing about the procedure. The BBC called it a “circus,” but Chief Judge Cassesse, said “I am relying on the pressure of public opinion” to justify indictments against Serbian leaders.
Erdemovic who, like Nikolic, had admitted to terrible crimes, received a very light sentence of five years and was not required to serve out even the full term because of the “significant cooperation that has been provided to the Office of the Prosecutor”. None of the prosecutors office apparently wished to ask, why, if they had any interest in carrying out summary executions, would the Serb High Command entrust such a mission to a mentally unstable Bosnian Croat, who had fought previously with Muslim forces and the Croatian HVO? Eventually, Erdemovic’s former partners-in-crime were reported serving as mercenaries in the Congo on behalf of French intelligence.
“Few outside Serbdom would object to Karadzic and Mladic being put on trial,” observed former UN Assistant Secretary-General Cedric Thornberry in the Summer of 1996 in Foreign Policy. “But is it likely, given their near universal demonization and the high places from which they have been denounced and condemned, that they could receive a fair trial?” Thornberry asserted that Judge Cassesse and others on the Tribunal had “stretched their judicial role,” by calling for political action. “Crusading and judging are two different (and incompatible) occupations,” he noted and warned that “the court could leave a poisoned legacy.” Columnist George Szamuely, also with the Srebrenica Research Group, writes that the ICTY
“is a kind of Nuremburg in reverse. The principle that was supposed to have been enshrined by the post World War II war crimes trials – that carrying out the orders of superiors is no defense – has been turned on its head. The ICTY declares that lowly soldiers that committed war crimes were really not responsible for their acts, because they were only carrying out orders of their superiors. And what is the evidence that they were carrying out orders? Well it stands to reason that they wouldn’t have done what they did, had they not been ordered to do so.
When the 1968 My Lai massacre was revealed during the Vietnam War, convictions at the never reached higher than Lt. William Calley and Capt. Ernest Medina (although there were courts martial held at Ft. Meade in 1970-71 for everyone up to the division commander). No one of higher rank than Specialist Charles Graner Jr. and Pfc. Lynndie England has been charged in the Abu Ghraib torture scandal. Yet, because the US, and a US-dominated NATO eventually took sides in the Bosnian civil war, not only were the scope of crimes greatly inflated, but responsibility for these abuses was placed on Serb leaders, without evidence they had ordered or approved of them.
The failure to condemn and prosecute a similar military operation by Croatian forces in Western Slavonia that preceded the capture of Srebrenica, and a much larger “scorched earth” operation driving out 200,000 Serbs out of the Krajina, shows a marked discrepancy in comparative moral standards. The ICTY moved haltingly and reluctantly moved prosecute mid-level Croatian military officials involved in Operations Storm and Flash, but because of US support for these war crimes, indictments did not reach any higher, nor was there serious consideration of prosecuting Americans involved in the operation. The Pentagon has refused to turn over satellite photos. But a recent article in Croatian Nacional Magazine, by Ivo Pukanic, asserts that US Pres. Clinton was personally involved in military arrangements for these attacks on civilians in UN Protected Areas.
The United States not only monitored the complete Operation Storm, but they also actively participated with the Croatian Military in its preparation, and in the end directly initiated the operation. The green light from the White House and then-President Clinton for Operation Storm was passed on by Colonel Richard C. Herrick, then US military attaché in Zagreb.
Senior UN official Cedric Thornberry holds no particular brief for the Serbs, whom he accuses of shelling him out of several different residences in Sarajevo, but he expressed dismay at the bias, which impeded a solution to the war in Bosnia. “By early 1993, a consensus developed –- especially in the United States, but also in some West European countries and prominently in parts of the international liberal media — that the Serbs were the only villains, all through Yugoslavia, and that the victims were overwhelmingly or even exclusively the Croats and Muslims. This view did not correspond to the perceptions of successive senior UN personnel in touch with daily events throughout the area; as a kindly soul at the UN headquarters in New York, ear to the diplomatic grapevine, warned me, take cover – the fix is on.” Whether the US Congressional Resolution on Srebrenica passes in its present form, without mentioning or condemning well-documented and comparable abuses by Muslims and Croats, should indicate if the “fix” is still on.

2. Editor’s Note: Not only is the logic faulty, the motivation behind showing the video at the ICTY was clearly questionable. While showing the highly-inflammatory and graphic imagery in that video, the ICTY refused earlier to show video footage of the 505th Buzim Brigade of the Bosnian [Muslim] Government army showing heaps of mutilated bodies, torched villages and the beheading of a Serb soldier, Ensign Rade Rogic. The ICTY said that the footage was too brutal to show. As a result of the showing of the video highlighting alleged Bosnian Serb atrocities — which resulted in the arrest of at least 12 of the Serbs in the unit involved — the Belgrade newspaper, Vecernje Novosti published a picture a week later, on June 15, 2005, showing the beheading of Ensign Rogic from Sanski Most.

The Real Bosnian Genocide
The REAL Srebrenica “Genocide” NOT reported by the corrupt,racist pro-Islamist Nazi Western corporate controlled media, was the brutal mass murder – using axes,knives,daggers,sledgehammers,iron bars,flamethrowers and explosives – of 3,870 Serbian elderly men, women and young children in and around the town of Srebrenica and its adjoining villages(Bratunac,Skelani,Kravica,Milici,et al) as well as the town of Gorazde

YET TODAY BBC ANY QUESTIONS IS ALLOWING THE OLD CHESTNUT OF A MASSACRE TO BE USED BY LEFTISTS AND BILDERBERG TRAMP KEN CLARK AND OTHERS OF THAT ILK!

Court :Serbs not guilty of ethnic cleansing of Bosnian Muslims -Sbrebrenica killings not act of systematic genocide
February 26, 2007
Serbia Found Not Guilty Of Ethnic Cleansing
Clinton/NATO Intervention In Balkans Revealed As Half-Witted Dhimmitude
February 26, 2007- San Francisco, CA – PipeLineNews.org – Twelve years after the alleged Srebrenica massacre, the International Court of Justice [ICJ] has found the charges of a systematic policy of ethnic cleansing by the Bosnian Serb government against Bosnian Muslims to be baseless, yet the court adamantly maintains a belief in the myth of Srebrenica, much in the way that Islamists hold on to the Jenin hoax because both serve to stoke anti-Western sentiment.
From the outset of the Clinton administration’s decision to aid radical Muslims by intervening in the Yugoslavian civil war was disastrous in that it created a foothold on the continent for interests inimical to the long term interests of both Europe and the United States.
During the process America’s staunch ally, the virulently anti-Nazi Serbs have suffered grievously.
Held together purely by the force of political will and intimidation, Yugoslavia [always a weak confederation of semi-autonomous regions, but held together under Tito’s authoritarian rule] finally broke apart at the end of the Cold War.
Western powers led by Clinton then departed down the path of dhimmitude in the region with the intent of assuaging radical Muslim sentimentalities. As a result the West reaped the worst of both worlds, not only countenancing a wholesale land grab underwritten by Iranian Shia extremists, but despite the administration’s obvious tilt, not even receiving credit for their efforts.
The world’s perception on this matter was largely stage managed by the public relation’s powerhouses, Ruder Finn and Hill & Knowlton along the services of Senators Joe Biden, Robert Dole, and George Mitchell.
The entire operation was funded by Bosnian Muslim interests.
Using as a pretext a questionable article from the Long Island, New Jersey newspaper Newsday alleging the Bosnia Serbs were running Nazi style concentration camps and exterminating Bosnian Muslims, the Muslim PR machine spun into action.
In an interview done for French television by Jacques Merlino, James Harff, who directed the operation for Ruder Finn stated how the issue was manipulated, cast as a holocaust redux which enabled them to enlist main stream Jewish organizations to condemn the Serbian bogeyman.
“Harff: It is very simple. A card-index, computer and fax machine. Voila! The basic work related tools of ours. It is not frequency that counts but the capacity to intervene at the right moment and to reach the right persons. It is the first assertion that really counts. All denials are entirely ineffective.
Harff: To have managed to put Jewish opinion on our side. This was a sensitive matter, as the dossier was dangerous looked from this angle. President Tidjman was very careless in his book “Wastelands of Historical Reality”. Reading this writtings, one could accuse him of of anti- semitism. In Bosnia, the situation was no better: President Izetbegovic strongly supported the creation of a fundamentalist Islamic state in his book “The Islamic Declaration”. Besides, the Croatian and Bosnian past was marked by a real and cruel anti-semitism. Tens of thousands of Jews perished in Croatian camps. So there was every reason for intellectuals and Jewish organizations to be hostile towards the Croats and Bosnians. Our chal[l]enge was to reverse this attitude. And we succeded masterfully.”
So masterfully that the word Serb has come to represent in the minds of many the incarnation of evil.
This primarily took place upon a still unsubstantiated claim that Bosnian Serbs engaged in a policy of genocide against the Bosniac Muslims after the fall of the Muslim stronghold of Srebrenica which resulted in murder of approximately 7-8,000 accomplished through mass executions.
What comes through in a reading of the relevant documents is the utter incompetence of the UN in dealing with the crisis caused by the disintigrating Yugoslavia.
Though it had blue helmeted forces on the ground, the UN had neither the means nor the inclination to stop the conflict from widening. It also proved itself incapable of investigating charges of genocide carried out against Muslims by the Serbs.
To this date no complexes of mass graves have been found and the perception that ethnic cleansing took place rests on the shoulders of a very few, which begs the question that if this was a tragedy on the order of the Nazi crimes against humanity, where are the witnesses and the evidentiary proof?
In examining the documents put forth by the International Court of Justice [ICJ] at the Hague on the matter, the ICJ relies heavily upon the United Nation’s findings regarding the seige of Srebrenica and its aftermath.
According to the official UN report on the fall of Srebrenica, much of the initial tension between the Bosnia [Christian] Serbs and the Muslim Bosniacs in the area was due to the fact that the incompetent United Nation’s Protective Force [UNPROFOR] lost a map in 1993 which outlined the borders of various enclaves agreed to between the two parties. This resulted in continual low-grade
“There was, however, constant friction between the Bosniacs and the Bosnian Serbs as to the exact borders of the enclave, which had been exacerbated by the fact that UNPROFOR had apparently misplaced a map that had been agreed between the parties on 8 May 1993.”
In response to UNPROFOR deciding not to respond to increasing violence, the area in an around Srebrenica was recognized as no longer being a demilitarised zone
“Dutchbat agreed to certain measures which seemed to acknowledge that the demilitarization agreements of 1993 were no longer functioning. They agree that the Bosniacs could carry weapons openly..”
Srebrenica was used by the Bosnian Muslims as a base of operations to attack Serb villages in the immediate vicinity.
“In response to the order, a raiding party of Bosniacs under the leadership of Zulfo Tursunovic, attacked the Serb village of Visnjica.”
UNPROFOR had failed to disarm the Bosnian Muslim forces in Srebrenica, and the Dutch military forces in theatre acted in a manner to protect them.
All that can be reasonably distilled from the facts is that the Bosnian Serbs launched an offensive against the city which at that point had become a legitimate military target and in the ensuing fighting many were killed on both sides.
Still no concrete evidence of a Serb policy of genocide has been offered up, there is no documentary evidence, no pictures of vast pile of bodies and to date the small mass graves found contain both Serb and Bosnian Muslim war dead; killed in battle.
What the UN puts forth as proof of a Srebrenica “massacre” are on the order of hearsay and suspect press clippings.
What however is beyond dispute is that the Bosnian Muslims committed the only documented genocide in the war. It took place in the Serbian city of Krajina in mid-summer 1995, The attack against Krajina resulted in the death of 14,000 according to the UN and the creation of nearly a quarter of a million refugees.
Additionally the Clinton inspired NATO bombing program on behalf of the Bosnian Muslims resulted in many needless deaths. Alice Mahon a former Labour Party MP told the London Times, “When you consider that 1,500 civilians or more were killed during the NATO bombing, you have to ask whether the intervention was justified.”
For further evidence of documented Muslim atrocities committed during the Balkan war take the following link.
Warning these are brutally graphic images, you have been warned
http://www.serbianna.com/features/srebrenica/warning.shtml
Unfortunately the outrages continue in the former Yugoslavia with the U.N., the U.S. and Europe attempting to force Serbia to give up the largely Muslim province of Kosovo by granting it semi-autonomy.
Zoran Loncar Serbia’s Minister of Public Administration and Self-Government also blasted the key architect of the plan, chief U.N. envoy Martti Ahtisaari, as “biased and working in the interest of the (Kosovo) ethnic Albanians.”
Of course in the multicultural parlance of today’s news coverage the euphemism “ethnic Albanians” really means Muslims, one of the reasons why deciphering what is going on in Bosnia and Serbia is impossible to understand if you simply read the main stream press because they will never identify the Muslim players as such.
Ahtisaari, former President of Finland was long an ally of the out-of-the-closet nazi Kurt Waldheim and seems to be pursuing a policy in the Balkans not at all dissimilar from that of the post 1940s Germans, whose involvement there is notorious.
In large part the allegiance of the players in the Balkans has not changed much since World War II, the Muslims continue to identify with the exploits of those who conducted the murderous genocide against non-Muslims, especially Jews to the extent that today in Bosnia Jews are still prevented from running for elective office.
The Serbs of course remember the Nazi orchestrated Bosnian Muslim SS Hanjar Division – its delivery of buckets of bloody Serbian eyeballs – a mere downpayment towards a million Jews and Serbs being eventually murdered in a genuine holocaust, a subject the leftist press wants you remain unaware of:
“Almost immediately, the Croats allied themselves with the Muslims [sometimes referred to as Bosniaks] in a Nazi encouraged, genocidal campaign against various minorities – primarily Serbs, Jews and Gypsies. The campaign was so brutal [Croatian leader Ante Pavelic is said to have once been gifted by his soldiers with a 40-pound basket of Serb eyeballs] that the Nazis and the Italian Fascists actually were forced to caution a modicum of “restraint,” not that it had much effect.: [source 10 Years And Counting – Still No Exit Plan From Clinton Created, European Al-Qaeda Base http://www.pipelinenews.org/index.cfm?page=bosniaislam%2Ehtm

The Media still ranting on about genocide- akin to global warming we only hear one side…Some Holocausts don’t get a look in…..
The massacre of about two million people, the Russian Christian elite, by Bolshevik (i.e. Illuminati) Jews between 1917-1919 represented the genocide of Russian Christian civilization.
(An estimated eight million died during the period 1917-1924.) The following description comes from Vicomte Leon de Poncins, “The Secret Powers Behind Revolution” pp. 147-152. Parts are so horrific that they could not be reproduced here. There is only one explanation for why this genocide is repressed, and why no holocaust museums have been erected in its memory. The spiritual descendants of these satanist Bolsheviks run the world today. Anti-Illuminati anti-Communist Jews must take a stand or be blamed for these, present and future Illuminati atrocities.

The real Srebrenica Genocide
WARNING – graphic pictures
http://www.israpundit.com/2008/?p=232
Be sure to read the numerous comments which follow.
The main post originates at
http://4international.wordpress.com/2008/02/15/the-real-srebrenica-genocide-t…
This documents the genocidal attacks on the Srebrenica Serbs from 1992 – 1995.
Overview: Why should one read articles refuting the charge that Serbs committed mass murder in Srebrenica?
http://emperors-clothes.com/sreb/mem.htm
Small extract: July 11 is the tenth anniversary of the recapture of the East Bosnian town of Srebrenica by Bosnian Serb troops. In coming weeks we will be sending you a number of pieces challenging the official story about Srebrenica. According to the official account, after the Serbs re-took Srebrenica, they slaughtered 8000 Muslim men.
More articles on the “Srebrenica Massacre” hoax available here.

What really happened in Bosnia?
Were the Serbs the criminal aggressors, as the official story claims, or were they the victims?
Part 1 – Who was Alija Izetbegovic: Moderate democrat or radical Islamist?
http://www.hirhome.com/yugo/ihralija1.htm
Alija Izetbegovic, who fought the Bosnian Serbs, was portrayed in the Western mass media as a dovish defender of multiculturalism and human rights. But Izetbegovic published an entire book calling for the slaughter of ‘infidels’ so that Bosnia could become a theocratic Muslim state, as documented here.
Part 2 — Painting fascists as victims and their victims as fascists: The mainstream media turned Bosnia upside down.
http://www.hirhome.com/yugo/ihralija2.htm
The media went out of its way to represent the Serbs as the supposed fascists and Izetbegovic’s Islamist followers as the supposed victims. There is no shortage of evidence that the reverse was the truth. In fact, it appears that Alija Izetbegovic may have been a Nazi during World War II, and he certainly revived the Nazi SS Handzar Division in Bosnia in the 1990s, as documented here. But the media has not shared this with the public, calling him a ‘moderate’ instead.
Part 3 — Who started the war in Bosnia? And who committed genocide? Was it the Bosnian Serbs, as NATO and the mass media alleged, or the Bosnian Muslim followers of Alija Izetbegovic?
http://www.hirhome.com/yugo/ihralija3.htm
There is no question that Alija Izetbegovic and his Muslim followers started the Bosnian war. The Bosnian Serbs were just defending their homes. Nevertheless, the media claimed that the Bosnian Serbs were supposedly conquering territory. The accusation against the Bosnian Serbs that they were supposedly exterminating the Bosnian Muslims was a total fraud, as documented here.

ONCE THE LIE HAS STARTED THEY HAVE TO KEEP IT GOING—9/11 WAS ARABS!- NO IT WASN’T IT WAS JEWS-MOSSAD!!
Bury it that doesn’t fit the agenda…sweep it away!!
“All the cement floor of the great garage (the execution hall of the departmental Cheka of Kief) was flooded with blood. This blood was no longer flowing; it formed a layer of several inches; it was a horrible mixture of blood, brains, of pieces of skull,of tufts of hair and other human remains. All the walls riddled by thousands of bullets were bespattered with blood; pieces of brains and of scalps were sticking to them….
Who Cares?
“USEFUL IDIOTS”
Communist leaders used this term privately to describe the people who actually believed Communism was about brotherhood, social justice, and equality. Communism is monopoly capitalism with the State fronting for the Cabalist bankers. Communism, like Zionism, is a Masonic (i.e. Luciferian) order.
Communism duped idealistic Jews to advance the banker agenda. David Horowitz describes how his Communist Jewish parents, along with millions of other American Jews, were traitors.
Outwardly they were respectable law-abiding middle class high school teachers, liberal and democratic. But like all their friends..they were secretly Communists and this is what “gave meaning to their otherwise modest and unassuming lives.”
They served the USSR and even had secret code names for the time when they would abandon the facade of progressive politics and go underground to lead the revolutionary (i.e. authoritarian) struggle. (Stephen Powell, Covert Cadre, p.vviii)
They were willing to destroy the nation’s freedom, which they had enjoyed.
The fact that the CPUSA wasn’t banned proves it was already too late.
Bella Dodd was not Jewish. A member of the National Executive of the CPUSA, she quit when she discovered that the USSR was run by Jewish millionaires who lived in the Waldorf Astoria and operated out of the Jewish Community Headquarters at 35 E. 12th St. She also concluded Communism was a satanic secret society.
Communist Jews and Zionists are idealistic dupes. I was one myself until 12 years ago (not a Communist but deluded about its true nature.)
Norman Bethune, a Canadian physician,not a Jew, is considered a great hero because he served the Communist Chinese. Did he know they murdered 40 million people?
Whats 40 million?
http://www.henrymakow.com/the_responsibilities_of_useful.html
CONCLUSION
Revolutionary Jews have never been called to task for their role in creating the New World Order. This is because when treason is successful, none dare call it treason.
The Illuminati bankers own the government, education and the media. They are able to spin treason as “free speech” and patriotism as “isolationism” and “witch hunts.”
The nature of the New World Order, and Communism, is that ultimately everyone works for the Illuminati bankers, directly or indirectly. For example, the US is being taken down by debt. But hardly anyone in government or the media, not even Ron Paul, suggests that half of the debt can be eliminated simply by abolishing the Federal Reserve.
The 9-11 atrocity is another example of the treasonous complicity of the ruling classes in the recolonization of the USA by a Judeo Masonic world government.
Naturally, everyone adopts the belief-system that ensures their job security. They deny they are useful idiots. They don’t know what they are doing, and most don’t wish to know. They are willing accomplices.
The Illuminati bankers are waging a relentless covert war on humanity.
They are enabled by dupes. What fate do these useful idiots, or their children deserve?
WITHOUT THE MEDIAS’ HELP WHERE WOULD THEY BE?
THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE!!
England’s Jewish Aristocracy (2)
January 17, 2011
by Henry Makow Ph.D.
In 1941, Friedrich Wilhelm Euler, Nazi Germany’s leading expert on Jewish genealogy, published a lengthy article entitled “The Penetration of Jewish Blood into the English Upper Class.”
Euler asked how modern Britain became the “protecting power of Jewry” despite the relatively small size of the Jewish community there.
He claimed too much emphasis had been placed on Jewish economic and intellectual influence, and not enough on the penetration of the English aristocracy by Jewish blood.
Well before British Jews were emancipated in the 19th Century, Euler argued, baptized members of commercially and financially successful Jewish families had married into the English nobility.
Virtually all of his 148-page article consisted of a catalog of Jewish conversions and subsequent marriages with non-Jews, starting in the fourteenth century.
The evidence proved that the English aristocracy had literally sealed a “marriage with Jewry” in terms of its “blood substance.”
This information, cited from Alan Steinweis, “Studying the Jew: Scholarly Anti-Semitism in Nazi Germany” (2006) p. 107, has important implications.
The New World Order is an extension of the British Empire, which has always represented the rapacity, greed and satanism of a mixed-race caste of Masonic (Cabalist) Jews called the Illuminati.
If Euler is correct, it’s no exaggeration to say that the English elite is crypto Jewish. This is consistent with the conclusions of Leslie Pine, editor of the renown Burke’s Peerage.
The “Jewish Conspiracy” is the British Empire. So are the American Empire and the NWO.
The “Jewish Conspiracy” is the “Establishment,” founded on the power of the London-based central banking cartel.
IMPLICATIONS FOR WORLD WAR TWO
History needs to be rewritten from this perspective. We can begin with Dunkirk (May 1940) when Hitler let 330,000 British and Allied soldiers escape, ostensibly as a peace gesture.
Hitler must have known what Friedrich Euler knew. It was common knowledge. Hitler’s proclaimed desire to make a “Nordic” pact with England doesn’t make sense. He knew England was not an Aryan nation, in terms of its elite.
England was the bastion of Illuminati Jewish power. If Hitler were sincere, England’s invasion would have been his first priority.
He would have incarcerated the 330,000 soldiers at Dunkirk. Instead, he let them escape, and carried out British policy by attacking Russia.
As I have tried to show in my book Illuminati, Hitler was an Illuminati Jewish (“British”) creation. He was placed in power to do exactly what he did, destroy Germany and pave the way for one world government. He, Stalin and Churchill were all Illuminati Jews, and colluded. (For e.g. see Makow, “Stalin’s Complicity in Operation Barbarossa”)
Hitler persecuted Jews because the Illuminati wanted them trauma-brainwashed in order to set up Israel, and for future use as pawns of the NWO.
At the same time, Nazi persecution served to discredit opposition to their Jewish pawns, making them appear as eternal victims, holy cows, and untouchables. This allows the Illuminati to criminalize freedom of speech, better to protect themselves.
Look at the modus operendi of Marranos, Crypto Jews, Communists and Freemasons. It is the same as Hitler’s: conceal your real identity and true aims; infiltrate, subvert and eventually destroy Christian civilization. This involves subverting every individual, nation and group, including non-Illuminati Jews.
History needs to be recast in terms of this satanic conspiracy. Our tragic past is a spell cast by Cabalists. At the present rate, the future could be even more terrifying.

Note:
Hermann Goetsche (1815-1878) was a German “anti Semite” credited with inserting a chapter in his novel Biarritz,(1868) entitled “In the Jewish Cemetery of Prague.” The chapter consists of a speech by a rabbi which is thought by some (not me) to be the inspiration for the “Protocols of Zion.” It includes the following passage which might shed light on how Illuminati Jews regard intermarriage:
“We must encourage marriages between Jews and Christians for the people of Israel lose nothing by the contact and can only gain from these marriages. Our race, chosen by God, cannot be corrupted by the introduction of a certain amount of impure blood, and by those marriages our daughters will secure alliances with Christian families of some influence and power. It is right that, for the money we give, we should obtain the equivalent in influence over everything around us. To be related to gentiles shall not imply a departure from the path we have chosen to follow; on the contrary, with a little skill it will make us the arbiters of their fate.”
-Quoted in Norman Cohn, Warrant for Genocide, p. 272
Comments for “England’s Jewish Aristocracy (2) ”
Len said (January 18, 2011):
Anyone here know how many “special allegiances” and secret societies the British Royals & Aristocrazies have among them? Can they be listed, … such as “The Royal Order of the Garter”, etc. etc. etc.
I’d be interested. My guess is: they are THOROUGHLY infiltrated by the luciferians and the cabalists.
——————————————————————————–
Dan said (January 18, 2011):
I think the term Tony B [below] is grasping for is “the Perfidious Albion” – a old nickname for England’s government in it’s foreign relations.
It can be shown that the English aristocracy which came down to us after the Reformation were allied with that special class of elite Cabalist Jewry based in 15th century Venice The process of the merger began in 15th century and intermarriages began in earnest during the mid 17th century.
Most people don’t know that much of the British aristocracy was replaced during this time with Cabalist Sephardic, Venetian or Marrano Jews, and Prussian Rosicrucians. The binding factor between all these usurpers was anti-Papacy, anti-Christianity, and obsession with acquisition of power through sorcery, seduction, and espionage.
When Henry VIII needed a Biblical loophole to get the Pope to annul his marriage, he employed his agent Richard Croke to get the aid of Cabalist rabbis in Venice.
One mustn’t overlook the effects of Henry VIII’s schism from continental Christendom. The king placed himself before God in the creed, so it was the honorable people like Chancellor Thomas more were were purged, their positions in society and their wealth usurped by the more amoral.
Henry’s daughter Elizabeth I surrounded herself with Cabalists and pirates. The “Henry Kissinger” of her court was a mathematician, diplomat and spy, John Dee. Dee was a Satanist who introduced English “Christian” cabalism, which was a mixture of Jewish and Sufi magick and divination exported from Cabalists in Venice. It was Dee who originated the “British Israel/Identity” doctrine as the foundational mythology of the British Empire. He first suggested the term “Brytish Empire”.
Literary Note from “British Empire of the Crown — 500 Year Chronology”: “Secret intellectual warfare between Catholic and Jewish-Cabalist influences surfaces. Marlowe writes “Faust” to defame John Dee as a Satanic Magician, “The Jew of Malta” to enrage public opinion against the growing commercial alliance with Jewish Merchants and “Tamburlaine” to discredit Elizabethan British Empire ideals.
An Elizabethan court issued a warrant for Marlowe’s arrest on an unexplained charge of ‘blasphemy’, He was released shortly before the trial was supposed to take place, and mysteriously murdered before trial.
Spenser writes “Faire Queen” to eulogize Elizabeth I as the magical “virgin” Queen. Shakespeare writes the “Merchant of Venice” to humanize Jews and cautiously soften attitudes toward Jews who are still banned from England. Shakespeare’s “Midsummers Night Dream” romanticizes the Elizabethan Age. ”
1600: “Puritans” first came to the attention of the public, not for intolerance, but for cabalistic Bible interpretation
1646 Royal Society formed. Rosicrucians infiltrated stone Masons, introducing mysticism and cabalism.
——————————————————————————–
Tony B said (January 18, 2011):
I was already old before I became wise to the simple fact that the greatest evils in the world since the Talmudic inspired protest against the Christian Church resulting in its splintering into thousands of sects (each claiming all the rest are bogus), the dysfunctional Reformation following, and their child, the industrial revolution, are at least seeded in, if they do not come directly from, the English speaking world.
Masonry, although a conspiratorial creation in the court of King Herod Agrippa 43 years after the crucifixion of Christ under the name, “The Mysterious Force,” did not blossom until the take over of the decaying stone mason’s guild in an England already removed from right reason. It’s free love entwinement with what you refer to as the Illuminati was a given.
Darwinism is probably the most nefarious spawn of that evil cabal (yes, he comes from a masonic background family) and from those insane and forever shifting theories almost every “new” evil has its base. Darwinism is the padlock on the coffin of right reason.
In simpler terms: Ever since the Protestant shattering of Christian unity, the world has rapidly descended into a licentious hell, for some time under the title “The British Empire.” Every new seminal fact I learn about the world’s evils seems to, in some way, come back to English speaking treachery.

Doing the regime’s bidding, British-based Vodafone shut down Egypt’s phone and internet service. The American company called Narus — owned by Boeing — sold Egypt the surveillance technology that helped identify dissident voices. For more on this story, Democracy Now! interviewed Tim Karr of Free Press and CUNY Professor C.W. Anderson. Karr talks how proposed legislation in the U.S. Senate could set the framework for shutting down communication in the United States during a time of declared “emergency.” Anderson traces the radical roots of Twitter to U.S. protests at the 2004 conventions.

TRUST SUCH BASTARDS AS THESE?
US & UK Companies Help Egyptian Regime Shut Down Telecommunications and Identify Dissident
ROUND TABLE-FABIANS
“THE BATTLE IS NOT BETWEEN LEFT AND RIGHT”
In the 1960’s British-born Dr. Anthony Sutton was a Fellow at Stanford’s Hoover Institute when he discovered that, in spite of the Cold War, the US was supplying the USSR with its technology, including weapons used against American soldiers in Vietnam. Sutton dug deeper and discovered that Wall Street had sponsored both the Bolshevik Revolution and the rise of Nazi Germany. The resulting books which are on line cost Dr. Sutton his academic career.
In 1983, Dr. Sutton received a list of Skull and Bones members and immediately recognized the names of many men who controlled American policy. He published a book entitled “America’s Secret Establishment: An Introduction to the Order of Skull and Bones” (1986). He updated and republished this book just before his death last June at age 77. Here are some of his conclusions.
•”The Order” is ” a purely American phenomenon with German origin.” Dr. Sutton compares it to the Round Table, Cecil Rhodes’ secret society at Oxford also known as “The Group.” The American and British entities consist of 20-30 dynastic families each. Jewish banking interests connect them.
“The links between ‘The Order’ and Britain go through Lazard Freres and the private merchant banks… ‘The Group’ links to the Jewish equivalent through the Rothschilds in Britain… ‘The Order’ in the US links to the Guggenheim, Schiff and Warburg families.” (23)
As Dr. Sutton notes, the “Order” had definite anti Semitic tendencies but by the 1960’s, many Jewish names started to appear among the 15 annual inductees. See list of Skull and Bones members.
•Dr. Sutton believes the “left” versus “right” split is fraudulent and used to control the debate and condition citizens to think along certain lines. Left-wing magazines like the “The Nation” and “The New Republic” and right-wing magazines like “The National Review were “artificially set up.” The former were financed by Whitney money while the latter by Buckley. Both are “The Order.”
Dr. Sutton states: “Sooner or later people will wake up. First we have to dump the trap of right and left. This is a Hegelian trap to divide and control. The battle is not between right and left; it is between us and them.”
Similarly, in the international field left and right political structures are artificially constructed and collapsed in the drive for one-world synthesis, i.e. authoritarian socialism controlled by monopoly capital.
College textbooks present war and revolution as accidental results of conflicting forces. This is nonsense, says Dr. Sutton. They are created and financed by Wall Street to create a new world order. But you won’t read this in history books.
“Our Western history is every bit as distorted, censored and largely useless as that of Hitler’s Germany or the Soviet Union or Communist China…” (122)
•Dr. Sutton believes The Order has many weaknesses resulting from an inbred gene pool, a shallow power base and a limited worldview. In any future conflict between the authoritarian state and the individual, he believes opposition will take “a million forms.”
” No one is going to create the anti-The Order movement. That would be foolish and unnecessary. It could be infiltrated, bought off, or diverted all too easily. Why play by the rules set by the enemy?
The movement that will topple The Order will be extremely simple and most effective. It will be ten thousand or a million Americans who come to the conclusion that they don’t want the State to be boss, that they prefer to live under the protection of the Constitution. They will make their own independent decision to thwart The Order and it will take ten thousand or a million forms.” (55)
COGNITIVE DISSONANCE
Bizarre as it sounds, our world is the product of a multi generational satanic conspiracy.
(Believe me I would give everything I own to be wrong.)
When we compare this disturbing conclusion with the comforting picture purveyed by Illuminati controlled-mass media and education, we experience “cognitive dissonance,” or psychological stress. This is usually resolved by evading reality, dismissing it as “conspiracy theory.”
One reader, stirring in his sleep, wrote: “You sir are T-TOTALLY the biggest story teller I have ever heard. If I ever get really bored I will read some of your concockions.”
In fact, conspiracy is very plausible. People who control a grossly disproportionate share of the world’s wealth will take measures to consolidate their position. They will destabilize the public by inciting a series of wars and other mind-boggling hoaxes (communism, lesbian feminism, multiculturalism). They will subvert faith in a loving God and promote violence and depravity (Satan) instead.
The government-inspired 9-11 atrocity proves a satanic cult controls the US. Bush and his accomplices are criminals, traitors and impostors. But don’t look to the Democrats for salvation. Leading contender Sen. John Kerry is also Skull and Bones (Class of 1966.)
The “War on Terror” is obviously designed to forestall domestic opposition and condition people to further subjugation and new world order. What can we do?
Antony Sutton had it right when he said opposition should be individual in character. It should “take ten thousand or a million forms.”
HENCE WE HAVE – LAWFUL REBELLION- THEIR COFFERS EMPTY THEY WON’T USE THEIR OWN CASH…
COUNCIL TAX IS HIGH FOR WHAT- WE CAN DO IT CHEAPER!
WE WOULDN’T BE GIVING ANY TO THE EUSSR- OR ASYLUM SEEKERS AS NOW.
“The individual is handicapped by coming face-to-face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists.” J. Edgar Hoover
The world is in the malignant grip of a satanic cult.
People recoil at the suggestion but proof stares us in the face every day.

The Market is Fixed
May 11, 2011
“If a … bank’s traders were able to make money every day of a quarter, were they really trading in any normal sense of the word? Or would vacuuming be a more accurate term?”
by Henry Makow Ph.D.
While hundreds of millions go to bed hungry, there are millions of people in the West who actually have money to burn.
Their incinerator of choice is the stock and commodity markets.
Wednesday for example, silver was down about 8% If you play silver using options, this translated into losses or gains of 40-50% depending whether you were long or short.
As most of you know, silver has doubled in price over the past year. The mushrooming US debt is destroying faith in the US currency. Squabbling over raising the debt limit raises the unthinkable specter of default!
Silver and gold bugs imagine precious metals will replace fiat currency as the medium of exchange. Some advocate buying silver because the big bankers have a short position. They can combine profit and politics by putting J.P.Morgan out of business!
So why did Silver tank Wednesday? It had nothing to do with any of the above. It seems silver suddenly is tied to the price of oil.
The traders hollering in the pits used Libya as an excuse to drive up oil. Now the air is coming out of that bubble and all “commodities” are falling.
Today silver is a “commodity.” Tomorrow, it may be a precious metal again, depending on which way the big boys want the market to move.
The point is – the market is fixed. Everything else is controlled — the media, education, politics, war. Why would the market be any different?
The market is designed to separate the small “investor” (aka speculator) from his cash. Just as the Illuminati can make skyscrapers collapse due to small fires and murder the long-dead Osama bin Laden, they can make the market go up or down.
Usually they draw in the suckers by creating a bubble. Then they go short. Joe Kennedy was a master of the “stock pool.” The Great Depression was a giant version of this ploy.
A friend, Andrew, pointed me to a 2010 article that showed the banks made a profit every day of the first quarter. The author Jonathan Weil asked, “If a too-big-to-fail bank’s traders were able to make money every day of a quarter, were they really trading in any normal sense of the word? Or would vacuuming be a more accurate term?”
The market is a casino. The house never loses.
FIAT CURRENCY
A fiat currency is backed by psychology. The Illuminati bankers control the levers of mind control.
They control the business media. They control great stores of cash. It doesn’t take much to set the herd stampeding in any direction they choose.
No matter how worthless the US currency is, they have to power to sustain it. The currency will not be worthless until we see signs of Wiemar-like inflation. I haven’t seen these signs yet.
I’m not economist but I would think that housing would be an indicator of inflation. As you know, US house prices are falling.
The “debt” is an abstract concept since I don’t think the bankers expect it to be repaid.
SPIRITUAL WARFARE
As my article, “Stock Market Porn” (below) states, we are engaged in spiritual warfare. The market is the Illuminati’s most effective weapon. Not only does it rob many people, it separates them from their soul. It makes profit and loss the only criteria for behavior. It keeps them in bondage to the almighty dollar.
“You cannot serve both God and Mammon.” Serve means worship, i.e. love/obey. Human beings must serve something. If we don’t serve God to our salvation, we will serve Mammon to our detriment. Our choice is liberation versus bondage.
This is why gambling is regarded as a “sin” by true religions. It is to protect us from ourselves. We need principles to protect us from our greed and from those who take advantage of it.
If profit is our only principle, we deserve to be fleeced. The markets are rigged, and if we really want to combine principle and politics, we need to get out of them.
Seinfeld has a nice story about “putting his money to work.” He says he lost on most of his investments. So he decided to let his money rest, and he’ll do the work. Certainly paid off for him!

Stock Market Porn
(from Jan. 2010)
There is a masturbatory activity even more widespread than pornography, yet never identified or discussed.
I’m referring to stock market speculation. Whether it’s day trading or long term investing, these days, it’s all a giant casino.
Gambling on stocks is even more widespread than sex addiction. Watching the talk shows, it’s evident that everyone and his dog owns stocks. Housewives and retirees phone in to ask for guidance. We are a nation of small time speculators.
As silver is slaughtered, this may be a good time to find religion again.

Many people spend more time fretting about their stocks than thinking about sex. They get a rush from seeing their stocks surge and making money from a few keystrokes. There is a warm feeling inside –they feel a little bit richer. They are their money and the more they have, the bigger they are.
They fantasize about their stocks multiplying in value, becoming “five and ten baggers.” They fancy they’ve “bought” the company and talk up its virtues in chat rooms, encouraging fellow speculators.
For many, this is better than sex and more powerfully addictive.
Of course, there is a downside, the sickening gut-wrenching experience of watching hard earned money disappear down the toilet.
Up or down, the stock market is a roller coaster, and just as hair raising.
The majority of people have good jobs and are not dependent on the market to satisfy their immediate needs. They’re speculating with their savings. So whether they make or lose $1000 on a given day really is an abstraction. They’re not going to need that money for some time or ever. So why do they do it?
Boredom. A feeling of emptiness and lack of purpose. There is a basic need for excitement and distraction.
THE MARKET CONTROLS YOU
In these difficult times, we must detach ourselves spiritually from the monkey house called society. People are apes who wear trousers and skirts. The only thing that makes us human is our souls and the extent to which we incorporate our spiritual ideals –beauty, truth, justice, goodness, love — into our behavior.
The world is controlled by central bankers who worship Lucifer. They deny the existence of soul and spiritual ideals (i.e. God.) They use the media and education to snuff out truth and beauty and turn us back into animals, better to herd, and serve them.
They control the stock market through their media and money.
So if you feel good if the market cooperates, and bad if it doesn’t, you’re their puppet.
The stock market is bipolar. One day the glass is half-empty; the next the same glass is half-full. They decide. You lurch back and forth like a puppet on a string.
Hardly are you going to dedicate yourself to your ideals, let alone remember what they are.
You can’t even remember who you are, who your family and friends are. You’re too distracted.
You belong to your money. This is how the Illuminati bankers keep us in a daze. We belong to them.
CONCLUSION
If you get out of the market, and it goes up, you’re not wrong. If it goes down, you’re not vindicated. You’re not good if you make money or bad if you don’t. You just have to do the right thing.
People who have enough to meet their needs shouldn’t think about money at all. They should think about what’s important.
Many people die with millions unspent. They leave it to their heirs. What was the point of accumulating this fortune? Does it represent life un-lived?
Louis B. Meyer offered an actress a million dollars to marry him. She turned him down.
Beyond your immediate needs, money is an abstraction, a specious way of keeping score. But it’s an abstraction that can imprison you. We need a better way of keeping score.

WHAT A RESPONSE……….YET RADIO PRESENTORS RIDICULE CALLERS BY SAYING ITS TIN FOIL HAT TIME…
Comments for “The Market is Fixed ”
Mark Anderson (Editor AFP) said (May 12, 2011):
Henry. Thanks for a engaging article on the moneychangers who stack the deck and always win. But remember, “fiat” just means by law, going back to Aristotle. There is nothing wrong with a nation producing fiat money, that is, by law. What really matters is that the state forbids going to the private banks for its money–loaned to the state at interest, thereby controlling the state and perpetually enslaving the citizenry in debt bondage–and instead produces its own scrip, interest-free. Also, the “sound money” notion needs to be set aside. Money that works is sound, and the “value” of the dollar is a misplaced idea. What truly matters is money being produced without incurring interest–that is it’s real value, along with being under sovereign control. There will NOT be hyperinflation–which is a fear-mongering end-game scenario promoted widely. The US, for example, suffers from a glaring lack of money and purchasing power. We are NOT awash in cash that can only be used as worthless wallpaper. Gold and silver-backed money ideas will not work, as the plutocrats control such things. The avenue to victory is to remove the money-creation and credit-monopoly from private hands. The late Clifford’s Douglas’s Social Credit idea points the way.

Daniel said (May 12, 2011):
OK…..fully agree on the stock market is fixed article and the many responses.
My question is after liquidating out of the market what do I do with the cash.
I have read and read….but cannot find definite answers as I am not very knowledgeable (as most of us out here) perhaps there are none but could it be land, food, etc.
I am not impressed by gold and silver, because in the end powers behind them. Perhaps it will be a two tiered, metals monitory system one for nations and one much lower with a loss taken by the common folks. On the other hand, it could be a digital system giving complete control to the NOW. Given the haste for microchips, tattoos, eye scans, leveling the monetary system worldwide, etc., it sure looks like it will be digital because it is the final consolidation of power and control.
In the end whoever controls the “energy” rules.
I understand you’re not a broker and am not seeking specific investment information, just general areas to consider which would preserve some wealth for a questionable future. I am 67 years old and am responsible for my own actions.
Thank for any thoughts.

I present this to my readers. Any opinions?
–
Saul: I’d like to make a few suggestions to Daniel if thats ok.
If he has enough capital through stocks, i’d suggest he pay his mortgage off (although judging by his age he may have done so already).
I’d also reccomend that he possibly by an alternative power supply, like solar panels because as he says whoever controls the energy rules.
Moreover, i’d reccomend that he buys extra food that isn’t perishable just so he has a buffer stock to fall back on if times get hard, just look at how times can change in Japan. Perhaps he should consider making a bug out bag or BOB for if a disaster happens, see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RF5femVwIo
As for investing, i’d say rather than invest in stocks etc, he should invest in tangiable goods like coal or fuel or food etc. or he should have enough savings to keep to see him through 6 months of Bills so he doesn’t go into arrears. This may seem extreme, but i’d rather have the security that it provides if something beyond your control happens I.e Unemployment.
Steven: Daniel, I’ve made 240% on Silver in the last 5 years and this is using the (fairytale) spot price we now have. TPTB can say it is worth any spot price they want; go out and try to buy physical Silver at the fixed price they say and in large quantities. GOOD LUCK….Heck even Ebay is still listing at close to $50 per ounce and it is slim pickings…
You seem to believe that the people who are running things nowadays are some new kind of omnipotent being?
We have the collective wisdom of man’s entire history valuing (Physical) Gold and Silver VS New Age Technophiles who have the moral fibre of thieves and common criminals; who alternativly value PAPER or Pixels on a screen.
They work feverishly at there computer terminals to create there imaginary price and somehow believe that they can change the supply and demand laws that rule and govern the real physical world. This is either child like thinking or the behaviour of lunatics..I’d guess the latter..All based on a computer generated fantasy no less that they call…
“Paper contracts”
It’s LAUGHABLE at best. I know who I am going to be betting against already and will continue to do so. I thank JPM for making my physical Silver so cheap to buy.
Silver has been and always will be of great value and this generation will never escape that fact. I would go on to say that it is even more valuable now due to modern technology and the endless list of everyday things that require SILVER. You say that you are not impressed with a precious metal that has consistently returned close to 50% per annum; that is also a irreplaceable commodity needed in many roles of manufacturing?
You are a hard man to please.
You should consider buying PHYSICAL Silver now while you still can and then hold it long term while ignoring the Science Fiction writers who work at the London FIX.

Steven said (May 12, 2011):
Yes the market is fixed.
The trashing of the gold and silver prices is absolute proof of that.
The long side investors who are getting taken to the cleaners by the jacking up of margin would do better to put a 100% downpayment on gold or silver and take delivery. Many misinformed people think that electronic and paper currency is money. They are mistaken. Money is everything currency is and is a store of value because it is silver or gold in coin or bullion form. Modern official currencies are a debased substitute for money and therefore have no value in them selves. Every one who believes that paper and electronic currencies is money that has value have been robbed and deceived mentally, politically, physically and financially by a consortium of satanically inspired politically correct financial and political gangsters.
These same gangsters run the stockmarkets, the banks, the media and the governments. They rule and you pay and lose.
You have sown your seed in vain and your enemy shall eat it. And so they have and continue to do so. Every time you vote, everytime you invest in paper you empower those who rob you and deceive you. Every time a government runs a deficit the politician takes no responsibility for the debt.
Instead the politician makes you responsible for the debt whether you like it or not and even if you did not vote for the politician. Saddling a third party with debt with out his consent has to be a crime one way or another. Have you ever wondered why the debt is sometimes reckoned on a per capita basis? It is not the debt of the people ,it is the debt of the government and it was consented to by the politicians only.
Therefore it should be the politicians personal debt and no one else’s. If this was made effect by law how many politicians would approve deficits?

Luther said (May 12, 2011):
I’ve been visiting here off and on for a lot of years. I have a little different take on things and the title of the article is a prime example. The market is not fixed, it is manipulated.
You need to understand the concept of weak hands and strong hands. If a supply and demand imbalance is beginning to happen, it is possible for the filthy rich to suppress the price of a commodity which will soon be in short supply. They are the strong hands that can take the short term loss in order to crush the weak hands. Those, who while correct, cannot sustain the short term loss and lose their position.
If you understand how to read a chart (I’m not talking about those bone heads on television) you can see the manipulation, the strong hands accumulating and that’s when you jump in.

Andrew said (May 12, 2011):
You are too correct as Bloomberg writer Jonathan Weil admitted last year.
I read Bloomberg Noir because they too acknowledge the market is fixed.
The following article from this time last year:
Rigged-Market Theory Scores a Perfect Quarter: Jonathan Weil
Commentary by Jonathan Weil
May 13 (Bloomberg) — Score another triumph for the rigged- market theory.
In a feat that would seem to defy the odds, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America this week each said its trading desk made money every day of the first quarter. Goldman said its daily net trading revenue topped $100 million 35 times last quarter out of 63 trading days. JPMorgan and Bank of America disclosed similar eye-popping stats. Citigroup, too, recorded a profit on each trading day, Bloomberg News reported, citing unnamed people who knew the results.
The intrigue is high. If a too-big-to-fail bank’s traders were able to make money every day of a quarter, were they really trading in any normal sense of the word? Or would vacuuming be a more accurate term? What kinds of risks do such incredible profits entail, for the banks and the rest of us taxpayers? And are results such as these too good to be true?
There seems to be no satisfying way to answer those questions, or even the more basic inquiry: How exactly do these banks’ trading divisions make money? Reading the companies impenetrable financial reports is of little help. However they did it, the data suggest it was as easy last quarter as hitting the side of a barn with a baseball from three feet away.
This isn’t the way “trading” works in the real world. A simple exercise in measuring probabilities is instructive here.

Stephen said (January 26, 2010):
From past day trading experience, during the “dot-com boom”, I could identify with your take on stock market speculation. The highs from making money for doing nothing and the inevitable lows that follow are as you describe. I do not buy stocks any longer, preferring to stay in cash, gold and tangible things, as well as using accumulated money to help others where possible. Yet endless “serious” discussion by ostensibly legitimate financial “experts” occurs daily on “stock picks”. I have often wondered why wagering on football games is illegal and frowned upon, but doing the same thing except with equities in corporate entities is encouraged. The only difference is that with the former, Manhattan-based elites do not get a piece of the action.

Bert said (January 23, 2010):
Related to the porn factor is culture of homosexuality. A speculator only “makes” money (turns his trick) when he screws at least one his fellow speculators. When he does this, in the end, all he does is screw himself, since he is a part of the crowd he intends to “speculate” against. There is no concern for actual economic productivity and happiness.
The father-in-law of Mrs. R. [below] is an example of an owner, as opposed to a speculator. He was not fantasizing quick bucks, nipped from market (PsyOps) froth of the “crowd.” He searched out companies that had actual underlying economic activity (as opposed to financial activity), and he thought about them as an owner would. I venture to guess he also participated in the election of corporate directors. By comparison, the speculator is a masturbator and a homosexual as well.

MB said (January 23, 2010):
Thanks for posting another insightful piece on this problem that harms so many of us in various ways. As you astutely point out, investing has become unbridled zero sum trading casino masturbation. Hopefully, it’s not too late for most people to realize that our markets/casinos are structured to ultimately benefit only a select few who can abuse analytical knowledge, experience and technical tools (hardware/software, especially high frequency order entry systems) to ruthlessly out-parlay the rest of us.
Even more so, people will hopefully also wake up to the fact that the best-of-the-best (or rather should I say the worst-of-the-worst) traders are “Wise Guys” empowered with special insight as to tone set by The Powers That Be, which unfortunately has become the only sure fire way to position one’s self profitably in today’s volatile markets.
Just reflect back to March 2009 when almost all asset classes were being savaged except U.S. Treasuries and Credit Default Swap (CDS) Premiums — to the point where Obama & Co. no doubt feared panic would thwart their Agenda For Change (i.e. transfer of wealth via health care and carbon cap & trade legislation).
It now seems obvious that the ensuing bear market rally was a joint maneuver designed to (i) soothe the masses so prospects for Obama’s agenda could be restored and (ii) sucker as many patsies as possible to buy in so Wise Guys could eventually realize profits and reposition for the inevitable correction to follow.
It is pretty hard to look with hindsight and not conclude that the recovery was rigged by government’s embrace of the “too big to fail” banks and their Wise Guy clients who inherently knew how the game was going to be played. It was most certainly not justified by economic fundamentals or realistic business conditions.
Now that Obama & Co. pissed away their Agenda For Change (at least for now), the bogus rallies are in serious jeopardy. Their corrections could get ugly. But don’t think for a minute that The Powers That Be are without a game plan to once again profit at our expense — just like they do in wars, political elections, etc.
Even though Obama is now lashing out at the big banks — a false flag operation designed to win back the masses — he will never be allowed to stop the real culprits: Wise Guy traders empowered by unbridled zero sum trading casinos. They will always be around to throw cold water on the poor souls who are afflicted with the need to masturbate to market porn.

Doug said (January 23, 2010):
Hi Henry, I read your stuff and it is good. But your analogy concerning stock market investing and porn is partly true and partly false. People who search out porn are really looking for love. Of course what they find is sex, and not only that but commercial sex, a sort of fiat love.
People invest in order to fulfill the corollary of the prime directive. The prime directive being : go forth and multiply (i.e. life). The corollary being: provide sustenance and security. This can only be acheived through wealth, i.e., controlling the means of production via ownership or having the means to purchase the means of production. Where they go wrong is in misplace trust in the tokens they are forced to use and their trust that such things as markets still exist.
In a rigged RICO like the stock market, pursuing fiat hanging chads is a total waste of time; they will always be able to print them faster than you can acquire them. Wealth is another matter. Wealth is not “money”, numisma, a purely legal issue. Wealth is: children, health, arable land, water, defense capability and the means to acquire the above. Money, like love and life is a gift. It consists of a thing created, things that can only be acquired by those worthy of their posession, those who work for them. The stock market is rigged to steal them.
Money is GOLD and SILVER. Always has been. Always will be. “Investing” in an “investment bank” is lunacy. At the end of the day, the best you can do is increase the number of tokens in your pocket. Tokens under the absolute control of the adversary. If you invest in GOD MONEY, a creation, not a printed token, you always sleep well. As Doug Faber said: ” never mind how many tokens you have to spend to acquire it, in the end the honest weight will be what it is.”
It is akin to the search for love. As a priest once said to a confessing sinner: ” I cannot help you.” “WHY?”, the sinner replied. “Because what you seek is God.”
I firmly believe that those who apply that standard to the things they seek to acquire will never go wrong.

MRS. R said (January 22, 2010):
What you are describing in your article, “Stock Market Porn,” is high risk stock investments. My father in law worked on Wall Street for 39 years, mostly in the back office. I think it was margins. Early in our marriage he advised us on stock market investment. His one caveat was that if you lie awake at night worrying about the money, the stock market isn’t for you. He told us that if you continuously buy and sell stock, the only one who is making any money is the house; I would call it gambling. He invested in “widows and orphan” stock most of his life. The company should be very stable, and usually only pays small dividends compared to high risk. You buy for the long term and do not sell unless the company becomes unstable. He has done well. He retired twenty two years ago, has lived off of his dividends, and continues to invest. He has lived, and continues to live, a life of thrift.
My father in law is certain that the dollar will collapse; my husband and I concur. This does not change his investment advice, however. To give him credit, one of the ways the Germans were able to save their money during the hyperinflation of the Wiemar Republic was sound stock investment. While it is true that the value declined during the height of inflation, as long as they did not sell their stock and the company was stable before the inflation, in the end, they “saved” their money. There were, of course other ways that they saved their money, but not all apply to today.
In 1 Timothy 6:10, God tell us, “For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”
What you have described in your article is the love of money. While my father in law’s savings method worked, he, too, has focused on money beyond what God would like. His investments, however, would not displease God. It is all about the focus.

JIM said (January 22, 2010):
Thanks for the timely article on the stock market addiction. I agreed with it 100%, and it validated my decision to liquidate my IRA this past Monday. Truly, the stock market is a manipulated gambling casino, promising the “American Dream” if one “in for the long haul”. I seen my former employers stock driven down from $7 to $0.72 by blatant naked short selling, and then “suddenly” become worth $5.50 again…
As a born-again Christian, I still struggled with giving it up, but Christ commands us not to be conformed by the world. Seek ye first his righteousness….
I am now a free man, disconnected from the daily slave habit on checking up on the stock market. Oh, and you should have heard all the reasons why my broker said I should stay in…
You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free, and you will be free indeed.

Bruno said (January 22, 2010):
about your post “Stock Market Porn”. Of course you nailed it again. As bad as sex, porn, booze, stupidity etc may be, yet still it is written “the love of money is the beginning of all evil”. It permeates everything everywhere even the high moral citadels of churches. It appears to corrupt people even more than all the above. Lately it seems to me that we are validating everything that is written in the Book.

Ray said (January 22, 2010):
Innovative view of the stock market and its psychological appeal. The fact is we have been conditioned to demand short term gratification and stimulation ever since the advent of TV. The old diversions were games, reading, sports, conversation, socializing and real sex with our mates. The characteristic of the old means was human to human contact; the characteristic of the new means is isolation and solitary gratification.
This type of gratification leads to a detachment from society and an increasing need for more stimulation. We have been in this trap for 60 plus years and it is no mere coincidence that the rise of adrenaline driven “pop culture” accompanied the advent of electronic media. The answer is to turn off the TV, the I Pods and the video games and stop tweeting, messaging and staring at a screen and experience real life again. It will be hard to adjust to but it can be done, and once you detach you recover your freedom and never want to go back to the adrenaline induced stupefaction characteristic of modern day America.

Frank said (January 22, 2010):
Great article! I couldn’t agree more. Just yesterday I was thinking about this same issue. The stock market is just another racket for the wealthiest among us – as they say of the casinos, Wall Street wasn’t built on losings. The manipulation of values is so rampant and easily conducted by those with enough money to move the market, only the most brazen attempt to beat a rigged system. Sure, there are those who manage to do well enough, but how can they sleep at night, never knowing if the money they invest is used in a humane way? I gave up on the idea of investing, when I realized that by so doing, I would be endorsing and thereby sharing in the activities of those companies in which I invested, just like a man remains responsible for the reproductive power of the seed he spreads, even if he doesn’t know the outcome. I can’t imagine what it would feel like to have invested in a company that has its success on the backs of underage workers, slave wages or environmental destruction. During this most recent period of economic depression, just think how many of the companies whose stocks these “apes who wear trousers and skirts” own have mercilessly eliminated jobs to maintain a decent stock price, or how many of them have maintained a history of influence peddling with congress that costs every taxpayer more than the dividend their certificates bear.
The best thing the average person could do is to withdraw from the market, move their savings out of regional, national and global banks and liquidate as much of their debt to these entities as possible. The civil rights movement advocated the boycott, and it worked. If the new human rights movement would do it, it would work, too. If we could also quit buying goods from companies that no longer even pretend to support domestic manufacturing – Wal Mart, et al, the effect would be telling.

Dan said (January 22, 2010):
The table’s rigged of course. But that’s secondary to the fact that all the money that goes into this casino is fuel for NWO corporations. Those with fortunes which must be invested rather than reside in cans buried in the back yard are best put into hard assets, such as land, real estate, even tangible metals. Holding real assets doesn’t fuel somebody else’s hidden agendas.

Karl in Vienna said (January 22, 2010):
Your ‘Stock Market Porn’ article is right on target and it is even more sinister and debilitating than you described.
I have 12 years of experience on Wall Street with three of the majors. Not in stocks and bonds, not in investment banking. My specialty is strategic thinking, planning and execution. They call in people like me when they crap their diapers and need a workout specialist to save their butts. This latest go round I told them to stick it, learn to swim honestly.
It is very much intertwined into the gambling addiction mindset. I have seen people buy Global Crossing at $25 to $56 and then ride it all the way down to $0.02 and blown out in bankruptcy. It is like a sickness that they will keep rolling those dice thinking their number will come up and save their butts from their greed and oversights. Many will absolutely refuse to admit
their error, to their own detriment. They read all the charts and news hypes, thus were so smart.
It is also an obsession about proving how smart and savvy they are. They can outsmart Wall Street and have a beer to gloat. When the snake turns and bites them, their true colors come out and one finds out fast that they are
quite stupid, quite juvenile, glaringly greedy.
Keep up the good work, your recent articles have been great.

Jeff said (January 22, 2010):
Your article touched on one of the biggest sicknesses in the world today. The worship of money. It has become the new religion of most of the world, and most certainly America. It is no longer enough to work and contribute to society in a meaningful way. We are told that we must become “investors”, to accumulate and accumulate more, no matter the cost to our fellow human beings.
How is it that we have degenerated to a society that applauds such insanity, that does not value work, only the quick buck and thievery from our fellow humans? I see it everywhere, but most disturbingly among the young.
I know so many young people, including family members, who have absolutely no interest in working or contributing to society. Their only goal is to make money at any cost, to buy low and sell high, to make a “killing” in any way possible. It seems to be their only life goal. How sad that we have replaced human decency and spiritual growth with the worship of money.
Thanks for a terrific article with so much Truth in it.

Joe said (January 22, 2010):
I’m inspired by the accuracy of your statements. This article made my day. I earnestly hope humanity can shift the paradigm to desire to live for ideals greater than ourselves once again. We must escape the sinister dogma of post-modern “civilization”. We owe it to ourselves as it relates to our inherent human dignity given to us by the Almighty to throw off the webs of deceit the Khazar NWO propaganda machine (mu-sick, Talmudvision, Jewry Theatres, Jews Media) has tried to drown us with. The mass communications industry is nothing more than the most expansive mind control operation ever conducted. We must keep our heads above the NWO’s sewage water with the truth as the Almighty intended for man.
We only need to look to eras of history when the Rothschilds weren’t enslaving the World to see that during those times man focused on higher ideals-namely the teachings of Biblical Christianity. The Church prevailed not the Khazar con-man click. During times of mental clarity, it was immensely challenging for a few slick Khazar shysters to oppress humanity but, these times of post-modern obfuscation are a playground for the sociopath NWO fiat money Khazar cabal. With enough awareness, the truth can prevail once again. Contrary to their egotistical beliefs, the funny money/counterfiter cabal is not God even if the Babylonian Talmud told them so. We can overcome their lies with the truth.
Thank you for offering a venue for a higher vision for humanity.
Best regards,
Joe
