3. Preparation for war: "Roots" - a covert action of the CIA aimed at the
destruction of Jugoslavia
 

Personal remark

 
This writing I hand over to a catholic priest, who is member of the group "Ordensleute fur den Frieden" and asked him, while keeping my identity secret, to arrange the distribution to the media and politicians.
 
Holding a strictly confidential and high position at the offices of the German government, because of my conscience I cannot remain silent any longer.
 
All facts stated by me are veryfiable for the better-informed and can be checked.
 
The complete NATO-Propagandastaff and over here the leading trio Schröder, Scharping und Fischer are utterly lying in public concerning almost all the facts in regard to the Balkanwar and a big crowd of journalists copy these lies without any checks or controls.
 

Now to the present situation

The German government knows about the real cause of the massive refugee outflux and plays with cynism the calculated refugeedisaster at the borders of Kosovo. This way it can preserve the image of deportations and "ethnic cleansing".
 
Reconnaissance of the German army and NATO as a whole do not have any pictures, nor insight, nor signs or data, proving the systematic deportation of the refugees by the Jugoslav Special forces, army or police.
 

Causes for refugees to leave Kosovo as concluded by the Ministry of Defence are with equal effect:

 
Some forces in NATO welcome the exodus. With enthousiasm the comment made by the US-Ministry of Defence dated april 5 was picked up by the German military, that when all have fled, a massive attack in the whole of Kosovo becomes a possibility.
 
The German government knows that there are no concentrationcamps and that no houses where marked with an S by the Serbs. This, as well as the fact that in no stadium in Pristina people are detained, was reported by representatives of the catholic church in Pristina in a direct telephoneconversation with employees of the German government. Still
Scharping is spreading these lies. The German government also knows that american and european private media at
the border are offering USD 200,000 for videomaterial of massacres, true or false.
 
NATO and the German army are supporting the UCK with uniforms, food and instructors.
 
All UCK-commanders are in constant radiocontact with NATO.
 
NATO-groundforces are already operating in Kosovo, they are only German and US-units. Their task is to mark targets. Furthermore NATO-officers function as communicationcommandos for the UCK.
The necessary contacts were established as the US and German officers abused their mission as OSCE-observers before the NATO-attacks. The German parliament is not informed about these facts, nor the general public.
 
With the deployment of German Tornado aircraft our Minister of Defence purposely is chosing to violate the Geneva Convention and other international laws. This is the case concerning the attacks on the military hospital as well as the attack on bridges. All traffic by boat on the Donau is made impossible, which is a violation of international law.
 
Premier and Minister of Foreign affairs knew from the very beginning that no Jugoslav government could ever sign the occupation-dictate as written in articles 6, 8 and 10 annex B of the Rambouillet papers. Both understood clearly that this would mean the end of Jugoslavia as a sovereign state. Therefor war was the only outcome possible.
 
Experts of the Justice-Department doctored the lines that would give NATO the rights of a medieval knight in the whole of Jugoslavia.
 
According to statements made by Rugova’s Italian legal advisor at Rambouillet, Filippo di Robilant, the moderate Kosovo-Albanians were given assurance by Robin Cook, that signing the paper would only permit NATO to attack military objects and further saveguard the civilian population in the whole of Jugoslavia.
 
Codename "Roots"- a covert action by the CIA prepared for war- aim is the destruction of Jugoslavia by disengaging Kosovo, Montenegro and the Vojvodina.
Since the beginning of Clintons presidency the USA works closely together with Germany under the codename "Roots". This covert action is planned by the CIA and DIA, a joint office of the Pentagon and the CIA supported by the German secret service in order to destabilize Jugoslavia, which is the last resisting force in the Balkans.
 
"Roots" objective is the separation of Kosovo by means of autonomy, independance or becoming part of Albania, the separation of Montenegro as the last means of acces to the Mediterranian and the separation of the Vojvodina which is the area for the majority of Jugoslavia’s food-supplies.
This will lead to the total collapse of Jugoslavia as a viable independant state.
 
The trigger for this action is the fear of Germany and the USA that Jugoslavia will ally itself with Russia and other former Soviet-states the moment that Jeltzin is replaced by communist and nationalist forces in the near future.
 
In order with the old Roman policy of "Divide et impera" the implementation of Roots supports directly the dream of Greater Albania in Kosovo, but also the direct financing of royalist Chetniks and Serb ultranationalists in
Kosovo by rich Serbs living in exile in the USA, trying to provoce an ethnic conflict.
 
Dissappointing developments for the "Roots"-planners, as in 1997 a peaceful solution seemed possible. The moderate speaker of the Kosovo-Albanians and the systematically demonised Milosevic agreed to establish the autonomy
concerning schools and education.
Now the UCK, founded by the CIA, came into play. This organisation is based on the powers of the Albanian mafia, that still controls mountainvillages in the borderarea of Montenegro, Kosovo, Macedonia and Albania. Their source of
income is drugtrafficing, smuggling, extortion etc, and the Codex of bloodrevenge still applies.
 
Their weaponry was obtained during the civil war in Albania.
Peaceful settlement between Serbs and Albanians became diffucult due to ambushes by the UCK against Jugoslav police-units. The civilian population was used as human shield.
 
These actions were stepped up after a new meeting between Rugova and Milosevic in 1998 and as expected the military and police-units overreacted in Kosovo. This way the UCK and the NATO-states could sell these actions as
ethnic cleansing. Never any word was spoken about the killings of the UCK. Neither about the abuse of the civil population by UCK, nor the activities carried out by Serb nationalist thugs, financed by the West, like Arkans Tigermilitia and Chetniks. (Similar financial support was given to the Ustascha in their segregationstruggle in Croatia).
 
In the same period of time Montenegro received immense investments from European and American companies in the tourist industry. So-called ‘prowestern’ privat radio broadcaststations were raised and NATO-friendly politicians supported. This resulted in the present situation that about half of the population supports the NATO-friendly government.
 
In the Vojvodina the influence of the new NATO-member Hungary came into play. Anti-serb feelings under minoritygroups like Hungarians, Romanians and Croatians were vocalled by small radiostations at the border in attempt to raise resistance against Belgrade.
 
The bombs against the Donau-bridges effectively isolate the province from the rest of Jugoslavia, forcing on the one hand better relations with new NATO-member Hungary, on the other hand it is shown who is in charge, now that big cities like Novi Sad with predominantly Serb inhabitants are bombed. Cities with Hungarian majorities are not bombed.
 
If these preparations for an offensive war with the knowledge and approval of the previous Kohl-government and now Schroeder, Scharping and Fischer are not to be brought to the International Tribunal of War Crimes, then I donot
know what should be adressed there. End the NATO- and CIA-war against the sovereign Jugoslavia.
 
The "Humanists" are exposed.
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

An Appeal from American Jews to the Green Party of Germany

 
We are Jewish Americans who are deeply concerned that the memory and tragedy of the Holocaust is being invoked in order to justify an unjust bombing campaign against the civilian population of Yugoslavia. Many of us have friends who lost family members in the Holocaust, or have lost relatives ourselves. We are deeply aware of our own history and the need for the world community to intervene in situations where there is a threat of genocide, in order to prevent it. However, this is clearly not what is happening in Yugoslavia today.
 
We do not believe that our government's war against Yugoslavia is motivated by humanitarian concerns. This is evidenced by their refusal to airlift food and water to desperate refugees within Kosovo, as well as the paltry sums allocated for refugee relief as compared to the billions of dollars spent on the bombing. The Clinton Administration's great reluctance to pursue a negotiated solution to the conflict also indicates that this intervention is mainly about power: showing the world that the United States (and NATO, which it largely controls) is the self- appointed international policeman, and stands above international law and the United Nations. They are waging their war against civilians, destroying the Yugoslav economy and killing hundreds of innocent people, in order to demonstrate and consolidate their power.
 
Many supporters of the bombing have drawn analogies to the Holocaust, arguing that the world cannot simply stand by in the face of ethnic cleansing in Kosovo. But the bombing has greatly worsened the situation of the Kosovar Albanians, as is now universally recognized. It has also destroyed the pro-democracy movement within Yugoslavia, and is destabilizing
neighboring countries.
 
We urge you to reject these false and exaggerated analogies to the Holocaust and World War II, which are being used to garner support for a bombing campaign that is intensifying the suffering of all nationalities in Yugoslavia. We appeal to the Green Party of Germany to oppose this war, and to support a negotiated solution of the conflict.

Note:
 
The above letter could make a difference in helping to stop the bombing of Yugoslavia. We have just 6 days to gather
signatures and deliver it to the Green Party of Germany, which is meeting on Thursday, May 13. Many Green Party members are very angry about their party's support of bombing, and if the conference votes to oppose the bombing, the ruling Social Democratic-Green Party alliance will be under tremendous pressure to change its policies or risk the collapse of its coalition government.
 
We are circulating this letter from American Jews because in Germany (as in the US), many liberal and progressive people are being told that those who oppose the bombing of Yugoslavia are committing the same mistake as those who failed to intervene in the events leading up to the Holocaust. We disagree strongly, as explained below.
 
Please circulate this letter as widely and rapidly as you can, especially through e-mail and web sites. To sign on, simply return your name, and any title or organizational affiliation (it will be made clear that this is for identification only) to: naimanr@preamble.org
