Of Cultural Marxism, Blue Helmets and the "Pink Army"

A Dutch lobby group for gays in the military, "Pink Army" is livid! An American General has told the US Senate Armed Services Committee, that the sacking of the Bosnian enclave Srebrenica in 1995 occurred as a result of the Dutch policy that allowed gays in the military. At least, that is what the MSM, and fuming liberal politicians after them have been paroting for days. The chaps in the Pink Army are pondering a law suit.

But what General Sheehan has actually said was that European armies deteriorated after the collapse of the Soviet Union and focused on peacekeeping because they did not believe the Germans were going to attack again or the Soviets were coming back.

Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and other nations believed there was no longer a need for an active combat capability in the militaries. They declared a peace dividend and made a conscious effort to socialize their military — that includes the unionization of their militaries, it includes open homosexuality.

Dutch troops serving as U.N. peacekeepers and tasked with defending the town of Srebrenica in 1995 were an example of a force that became ill-equipped for war. The battalion was understrength, poorly led, and the Serbs came into town, handcuffed the soldiers to the telephone poles, marched the Muslims off, and executed them.

Truth is, that the haphazardly declared enclaves were impossible to defend. The Bosnian Muslim army continued to conduct raids into Serb territory from this 'neutral zone'; one day the Serbs decided to act. But worst of all it was the UN that had the lead in the war. They provided the peace keeping forces with light arms, throwing in 1 (one) tank between them for good measure, so as not be 'provocative'!

General Sheen is right, but he is missing the full picture. The 'socialization' of the military to which he's refering happened during the Den Uyl government, who - like Obama today - was conducting a program of "fundamental transformation" (code for a bloodless revolution).

This government vowed to reform society based on the "democratization" of private corporations and governmental institutions - higher education, police and the army amongst others - and 'nivellation', the redistribution of wealth with a view to an equality of outcome. The military and civil servants were allowed to unionize and obtained the right to strike.

Ideally corporations and institutions "mirrored" minorities in society - the early form of what is now termed 'diversity'. Reverse sexism and racism was the result. The last remaining vestiges of that era are the military unions and now, the "Pink Army".

But the scope of the New Left's bloodless revolution was much wider and took place all over the Western world. Only now, years after the events do we know that some years prior, McCarthy wasn't that far off the mark as is often claimed. The West was riddled with Soviet moles, fellow travelers and useful idiots. The Frankfort School was the incubator and director of this onslaught of cultural Marxism.

The peace movement was infested with agitators and agents provocateurs. They were protesting against the same cruise missiles that eventually necessitated the Soviet Union to drop out of the arms race. It was however a fatal mistake to think that after the collapse of the USSR, the Left had conceded defeat. Now they're back with a vengeance.

Looking back on history from satellite height one can discern the pattern of the postmodern dialectic. This narrative builds on the Marx dialectic, that created the dichotomy of oppressors versus oppressed. This narrative  goes as follows: "the" truth does not exist; all oppressed minorities - genders, races, ideas, religions and cultures - are equal in value and validity ... except the West's which are uniquely evil. The group oppressors consists in affluent, white, heterosexual males. (Read or watch Isabel Allende's "The House Spirits" which embodies this drama like no other.)

Gays in the military are a part of this dialectic. Also peruse our dossier "Socialist Causes Explained". Despite all this talk of equality there is a certain hierarchy of victimhood: some are definitely more equal than others. But whoever has the audacity to outgrow one's victimgroup, is inviting the fulll wrath of socialist curse. More on this subject in part II of our series on progressive cosmology.

If you fail to see the logic or common sense in a certain position the Left is taking, just ask yourself the question, what course of action would hurt the West most, and you've got your answer. That is the ultimate goal, also of gays in the military. The sacking of Srebrenica wasn't because of gays in the military, but it happened as a result of the demoralization program, of which they are part and parcel..

The Trial of Radovan Karadžić: Hartmann indicted

After we were able to break the news last week that fifteen Dutchbat vets have come forward to testify for the defense, today the ICTY posted a press briefing that an Order in Lieu of an Indictment has been issued against Florence Hartmann on two counts of contempt of the Tribunal. Hartmann was the spokesperson of former ICTY Chief Prosecutor Carla Del Ponte.

The two counts of contempt are for allegedly disclosing protected information about the trial of former Serbian president Slobodan Milosevic. The ICTY alleges that Hartmann knowingly divulged confidential decisions in the Milosevic case.

Hartmann has repeatedly stated that former US President Bill Clinton and French President Jacques Chirac had planned a campaign to capture Karadžić, but later backed down at the urging of the US, Britain, and Germany.

Hartmann has also said that Russia aided in moving Karadžić to safety in Belarus, and alleged that the West helped in order to hide information about the fall of Srebrenica

Last week, Karadžić submitted a document to the ICTY asserting that he had an immunity deal with former US Ambassador to the UN Richard Holbrooke, on the condition of withdrawing from public life. He asked the Tribunal to order the appearance of Holbrooke, as well as former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and two other officials involved in the deal.

Holbrooke and Albright have denied the accusations, but Jurist in an article mentions that Purdue University Professor Charles Ingrao, leader of a research group dealing with issues of the former Yugoslavia, said in an interview that he has independent evidence verifying Karadzic's claims.

More allegations by Hartmann were made in an interview with The European Courier. In the interview Hartmann states that Joschka Fisher, the German minister of Foreign Affairs in the former German Government told Del Ponte that according to German secret services, international High Representative in Bosnia, Paddy Ashdown met with Karadžić at the end of 2003 in Bosnia!

She also recounts in her book that in March 2000, Chief Prosecutor Carla Del Ponte asked Wesley Clark, former NATO Supreme Allied Commander, whether the US had a secret agreement with Karadžić. Clark in turn accused former French President Chirac of having cut a pact with Karadžić and Mladić to win the release of two French pilots held by the Serbs in 1995 (see Bosnia News).

Hartmann is to appear at ICTY on 15th September. Dr Karadzic's next session is due on Friday.

Progress Report (3): the Assault on the Rule of Law

Continued from Part 2: "Plugging the Holes Against Reality"

Politicians enforce the idea on entire societies that lumping innocent Muslims with their co-religionist terrorist counterparts is unfair. At this point the reasoning is reversed and the terrorists are collated with the innocent. This has four dire consequences: 1. a moral choice between the innocent and the terrorists is abdicated; 2. the terrorists get a free pass; 3. the innocent, thus lumped with the radicals, remain unsupported and have no other option than to submit to their will; 4. Westerners, defending the values of liberal democracy against Sharia type onslaughts and subjective, Muslim demands of religion based privileges are increasingly harassed by radicals in any available manner: cyber and legal jihad (frivolous lawsuits), after which they can get beaten up by the new stormtroopers. On top of that they are actively criminalised through legislation.

- Capture: Themis, Goddess of Justice traditionally blindfolded, signifying objectivity: equal justice for all -

They are thus caught between a rock and a hard place. They might seek protection from the radicals, making appeals at the official channels for security. But what, if those are concurrently threatening to clasp counter jihad bloggers in irons? (Read the continuing story of Lionheart.) What, if the political and legislative branches of said officialdom are responsible for a home grown branch of Al Qaeda taking hold on European soil? From the looks of it, far from conducting a war on terrorists, Europe for one, has unleashed a wave of repression on their critics!

Dr Darko Trifunovic from the Faculty of Security Studies at the University of Belgrade is delving deeper and deeper into the origins, ambitions and operating methods of what he terms "White Al Qaeda". The involvement of Wahhabi and Iranian 'volunteers' during the disintegration wars of the former Yugoslavia, has been well established.

A source beyond suspicion (if that is possible, given the prevailing puritan trend) is former journalist, and present Executive Director of the Center for Islamic Pluralism (no, not an oxymoron apparently) Stephen Schwartz. He recently published a fierce plea for Kosovo independence in "Keeping Moscow at Bay - In Kosovo" on Pajamas Media. (Also by Schwarz: "The Failure of Europe in Bosnia, And the continuing infiltration of Islamic extremists", The Weekly Standard on 20th June 2005).

In an earlier article, "Wahhabism and al-Qaeda in Bosnia-Herzegovina" published on the site of the Jamestown Foundation (Global Terrorism Analysis) in 2004, Schwartz in some detail provides a description of the situation there, and concedes that ...

"(...) Saudis and Wahhabis (...) flooded into Sarajevo after Dayton. The Saudi High Commission for Relief (...) occupied a major structure in the town (...) Wahhabi missionaries spread throughout the Muslim zone (...) In the aftermath of September 11, two major events occurred (...) officers raided the offices of the Saudi High Commission for Relief (...). Documents seized by the Sarajevo authorities provided a fascinating insight into the scope and actions of the Saudi-backed Wahhabi jihad in the Balkans during the previous decade; the materials included the "Golden Chain" roster of original financiers of bin Laden's operations. Then, early in 2002 a group of six Algerians were arrested and deported to Guantanamo at the instance of the U.S. Embassy. Most of them had held Bosnian citizenship (...)."

Also holding Bosnian citizenship was Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, former 'Operations Chief' of Al Qaeda and Bosnian war veteran. According to a post on the Terror Finance Blog submitted on behalf of Dr Darko Trifunovic, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed took over the leadership of the Al Qaeda media campaign ('the Committee') during the planning of the 9/11 attacks, starting around 1999.

According to Trifunovic Interpol in Wiesbaden, Germany "sent a request to the Bosnian authorities on 18 September 2001 to verify the identity of a certain Mr. Atta, who according to their information used to reside in the hamlet of Bakotić, 8 km outside Maglaj, in 1999." Evidently, Mohammed Atta had been residing in Bosnia prior heading for Hamburg, his launchpad for the US and his fatal mission.

On 12th October last year in our exclusive "The Clinton Legacy" on the presentation of Chris Deliso's book "The Coming Balkan Caliphate", we reported on the public secret that during the 1990 Yugoslav conflict, the Western powers conspired to allow Muslim Afghan war veterans to enter the territory, as an easy way to counter the Serb attempts to keep the federation of Yugoslavia together while countering internal Muslim harassment of local Christian populations. At the time the situation was said to be fluid.

Deliso also asserted direct links between Islamic radicals who were imported into Bosnia as a consequence of said Western policy, and the attacks of 9/11, the Madrid train bombings and the London attacks. We hardly need to be reminded that another Bosnian connection recently came to the fore, the foiled attempt on US Fort Dix, followed up by the scantly publicised matter of a Bosnian arrested in Vienna, Austria for a thwarted attack on the US Embassy in that city.

With the knowledge of the UN interim governors in Kosovo Albanian-American radicals were actively recruiting terrorists for 'the war against America' prior to the 9/11 attack, of which they had foreknowledge. The UN did nothing.

To paraphrase aforementioned Stephen Schwartz, Executive Director of the Center for Islamic Pluralism, "a vast quantity of ink has been expended" on the subject of Islamist involvement and its expansion within Bosnia, Kosovo and elsewhere in the Balkans. That the campaign of intimidation and harassment didn't stop there is evidenced by reports that counter terrorist experts say to be the subject of cyber attacks by an Al Qaeda related organization. OSINT Analyst Ioannis Michaletos, like Dr Trifunovic associated with the Athens based Research Institute for European and American Studies (RIEAS), specifically mentions a Sarajevo based organization, the AIO (Aktivna Islamska Omladina) [1], who have targeted Trifunovic as well.

- Caption: Maps courtisy FAOA -

FAOA posits that "Its Islamic weekly magazine SAFF [2] and organization's website, have been fronts of radical Islamic preaching, gaining notoriety for publishing interviews with terrorists who have fought against US forces in Iraq and expressing solidarity with the jihadists and suicide bombers in Israel." FAOA also links the AIO with members throughout the Bosniak diaspora in Europe and the US.

One such is the CNAB, claiming to represent some 350.000 Bosniak refugees in the US and Canada. Trifunovic qualifies them as a new jihadi organization. He specifies four members in particular, who are one way or another involved in Islamist activities. Terror Finance Blog in "Bosnjaci.net Attacks on Darko Trifunovic" has the specifics.

Reading the accusations directed at Trifunovic, what stands out is that for the most part, these are formulated in non-existent legalistic terms. I do reserve some sympathies with the families and survivors of the sacking of Srebrenica, after the supposed neutrality of the safe haven proved to be vacuous. But the accusations of hate monger, persistent enemy, culturocide, ecocide, ethnocide, urbicide and elitocide are beyond sobriety?

More serious however are the frequent references to Srebrenica denial, equated with Holocaust denial. It is our understanding that Trifunovic, far from denying the events at Srebrenica, has been conducting further research into the matter. His scientific findings may evidently differ from the present official rendition. Research is an ongoing process. Even now archaeologists are delving into ancient digs to unearth evidence that may provide a new perspective on one historical event or other. The right of scientific enquiry is a precious principle, not to be jeopardized by frivolous lawsuits!

The recent legislation of postmodern surrogate morality, as laid down in laws such as these - criminalising subjective emotions as Islamophobia, hate en war-mongering, etc. etc. - will be a fine job for the Courts to disentangle in the coming years. Given the Latvian requests to include Stalinist genocide in the law have stranded on the criterion of the racist principle, one wonders how exactly the religion related outlawing of Islamophobia will fare. And will the emotion squad be preferable to the thought police?

In the US and elsewhere the legal systems are currently clogging up with frivolous lawsuits, one infamous case being one brought on by three of Canada's many human rights commissions against Mark Steyn for a sentence in his book "America Alone". In a rebuttal in the Calgary Herald Steyn explains that in the fateful sentence "The number of Muslims is expanding like mosquitoes" he was actually quoting a prominent Scandinavian Muslim, Mullah Krekar, who had it that Muslims were changing Europe, Western women producing only an average of 1.4 children against Muslimas 3.5.

To bring on a lawsuit on such a basis is careless to say they least. That's the result if money is no object, as in the case of the publicly funded human rights commissions. That frivolous cases are financed by Saudi (and other) sources reveals their secondary purpose: if the case is won, the advantage is favourable jurisprudence; if lost, the sued party is intimidated and diverted, and may hence serve as a reminder to others like him.

Totally beyond the order are the practices of witch hunter Dr. Richard Johnstone, lawyer by occupation, human rights activist by nature. His list of signatories led by a few stooges, is for the remainder made up by politically and perhaps even racially motivated Bosniaks headed by Muhamed Sacirbey, freshly out of jail after a hat trick gone awry. Johnstone proves beyond reasonable doubt that the 'human rights' movement has now firmly passed out of the realm of fake idealism, into the disconsolate depths where nihilism de-masks and hopes to die: "All hope abandon, ye who enter here!"

Returning for a moment to the Trifunovic case, it is remarkable that until he was invited to sit as a public speaker on one of the forum debates during the upcoming 11th European Police Congress to be held on 29-30th of January in Berlin, he was able to do his research work from the University of Belgrade's ivory tower, in reasonable tranquility. The moment however that the opportunity arose to discuss his findings in public, spanners were thrown into the works to prevent it. Not only is he under cyber attack and legal intimidation, requests have also been directed at European Commission members, discrediting him as a person and as a scholar with the object of getting him banned from said convention.

Apart from the personal injury done here to Trifunovic himself, the public damage is two-fold: researchers are being harassed to prevent them from doing their jobs, thus interfering with the right of enquiry. The consequences of such actions on the academic level could well be considerable. The second part is even worse: the intimidation of officials conducting criminal enquiries, undercutting of the rule of law, leading ultimately to mob rule.

On the political level, the West is working hard to provide expanding Islamism with a state in the heart of Europe, smack in the middle of the traditional powder-keg - the Balkans - no less! The ultimate purpose of the diplomatic exercize in brinkmanship is as yet covered in geopolitical nebula. But never mind the increasing Wahhabi influence, Al Qaeda cells declaring war on Serbia, the traditional Turkish style mosques being stripped to make them Wahhabi compliant, the Serbian heartland of Kosovo being subjected to the rule of the fifteen crime families of Albania who are upto their eyeballs involved in heroin trafficking, or that the current leader of Kosovo once led the bin Laden funded KLA.

The creation of an independent Greater Albania with its fingers in the annual $40 billion criminal drug trade steamrolling through the Balkans, is a very progressive and enlightened ideal.

The conclusion of this three part progress report: we can all go safely to sleep tonight - all is quiet on the Eastern front ...
