The Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright, told CNN Sunday that “we do not support Independence in Kosovo after three years.” In the next breath she said “these people will decide for themselves.” I am surprised she didn’t wink. Who is kidding whom here, if we grant Albanians autonomy and they are 90%, just how do we think they will vote in three years? Albright is a liar, she is selling out Serbia as expertly as did the United States and Churchill 50 years ago!

In the Croatian and Bosnian Civil Wars, 212 Serbian churches were destroyed. Half were plundered of their priceless icons and artifacts before being burned to the ground, perpetrating the largest art theft since WWII. Some of these Serbian artifacts have already shown up in antique stores in central Europe. Nothing has been returned to the Serbian church. How compelling that the chateau at Rambouillet in France is full of paintings, artifacts and furniture stolen by the Nazis that France refuses to return to their rightful Jewish owners. Albright has no doubt parked her posterior on the stolen Louis XV sofa while negotiating what she can steal next from the Serbian people.

Keep in mind this is the same mad woman on the Potomac who asked Colin Powell, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, “What good is it having the most powerful military in the world if you don’t use it.” No wonder this has become the most trigger-happy administration in modern times. We fought two World Wars against enemies with these hideous proclivities, now we suffer from their disease. This pistol-packing mama obviously needs little pretext for revenge, including her lie that the Serbs are obstructing the peace process. The Albanians have refused to sign the Contact Group Proposal. How can you proceed to more important political and military issues when the basic agreement has only been signed by the Serb side? Serbian journalists claim that “this is more like a trial” than a peace negotiation. Such remarks speak for themselves.

And where else do these lies and deceptions lead? The Serbs have lost all hope of receiving any compensation from European banks for stolen gold and property from the 1.5 million Serbs who lost their lives in Holocaust. Serbia was not included in the recent State Department talks held in Washington on this subject of Nazi gold. How repugnant that Croatia, Bosnia, Germany and Argentina were invited. They were the worst looters of the Holocaust! The fix is in, can you smell the American and British betrayal of the Serbs for the second time in 50 years?

The late Pavle Jankovic, a Serbian journalist, saved Madeleine Albright’s life in WWII. Her biography omits this little detail. What an insult that she now tells the Serbs of her “fond memories as a child in Belgrade,” at the same time Richard Holbrooke is telling the world, “Serbs are Murderous assholes and that Serbs are evil.” These remarks come from the very same women who said “Serbs are awful.” Her remark that “if her father was not Czech first he would have wanted to be a Serb,” was like pouring salt in Serbian wounds after seven years of her abhorrent demonization of the Serbian race that fell from her lips like spit. The State Department hatred extended to Warren Christopher, too. He demonized the Serbs for their “lack of morals.” He got that comment shoved right down his throat when his own nephew was arrested in 1995 for breaking and entering the Forest Lawn Mortuary in Glendale, California where he was caught having sex with a corpse. Serbs can be grateful that Necrophilia is not included in their list of alleged crimes.

Serbs are no longer surprised at the Chutzpah of this Secretary of State and those of our government who have become foreign agents at the drop of a hat. Congressman Eliot Engle stood in the square in Pristina last year and told his Albanian audience that he would one day return as the Ambassador to an independent Kosovo. It appears that this Congressman is in on the fix, too, as the Clinton administration has obviously promised this ambassadorship. Becoming turn-coats and foreign agents is like a disease in Washington. Fifteen of our retired generals “aided and abetted” genocide in Croatia in 1995, and Lawrence Eagleberger became a board member of the communist bank of Yugoslavia before returning as Secretary of State. After Congressman DiGuordi lost his bid for reelection he became a foreign agent representing Kosovo Albanian interests. When Congressman Frank McCloskey lost his bid for reelection, he, too, became a foreign agent and now represents the Bosnian Muslims. When Larry Presslor lost his bid for reelection last year, the senator became a representative of the shadow government of Kosovo. In what is being promoted as the best economy in 3 decades it is most compelling that officials are having a difficult time finding gainful employment in their own country. I suspect the scent of money has a hypnotic influence over such 'outdated' values as patriotism.

Last August in Kosovo, 22 Serbian victims were massacred by the Kosovo Liberation Army who dismembered their victims and burned them in ovens—a hideous duplication of the horrors of the Holocaust. There was no Albright chest pounding, nor was there an Israeli voice, reminding the world of their “Never Again” theory. Now those Serbs are supposed to be lulled by her memory of Serbian lullabies into giving up their sovereignty or be bombed.

Following the killing of 5 Serbian policemen last month in Racak, the Serbian police invited the Associated Press to film their advance into Racak to arrest the perpetrators. The AP footage reveals that 15 KLA were killed in a pitched battle, not slaughtered in an ugly stage-managed massacre. Remember Srebrenica? Madeleine Albright showed the world satellite photographs of the mass grave of 7,000 victims that turned out to be a hoax. Mike Wallace and dozens of international journalists went to investigate, all coming away empty handed. Meanwhile Naser Oric, the Muslim commander of the so-called “safe haven” of Srebrenica escaped with 5,000 of his troops before Srebrenica fell to the Serbs according to ICRC documents in September of 1995? Oric showed visiting journalists videotapes of his torture and decapitation of dozens of Serb victims? We should ask the Secretary of State why this creature escapes indictment if she believes so strongly in justice?

Kosovo is the Serbian Jerusalem, the cradle of Serbian Christianity for over a thousand years. I don't base that remark on personal emotion or religious conviction. Archeological evidence as late as 1912, revealed 1,300 monasteries, churches and other Serbian monuments existing in Kosovo. Sadly, today, only 110 churches and 60 church ruins remain—an example of the spiritual and cultural genocide the Serbs have had to endure in this past 86 years as Croatians, Muslims and Albanians tried to liquidate them. During WWI, hundreds of Serbian churches were destroyed throughout Serbia. In WWII over 400 Serbian churches were destroyed in Croatia and Bosnia along with 438 Serbian priests who were brutally murdered, many at the hands of Roman Catholic priests who fled to Argentina at the end of the war to escape justice.

Just who does Madeleine Albright think she is kidding? The fix is in and the United States and her Muslim ally will usurp land that has belonged to Serbs for a thousand years. At the same time in the Sudan one million non-Muslims have been slaughtered, Christians are being sold into slavery and Christian boys are being sold to pedophiles for the sexual appetite for the men in that culture while Turkey continues to deny independence to the Kurds who were granted this independence in 1920.

The ugly truth is our political leaders are liars.
