Disinformation:
Operation Serbia
The war against Serbia actually began a
long time ago, with the first attempts to manipulate the public opinion
against Serbia, in the beginning of the 90's. These manipulations have
been carefully ordered, planned, organized, structured, scheduled and realized.
Their generic name is "DISINFORMATION OPERATIONS". Disinformation
is an extremely powerful and formidable weapon. The successes of disinformation
operations toward Serbia have led to several wars, huge destructions and
sufferings, hundreds of thousands of killed, wounded, deported people,
without noticeable reaction of the public opinion other than a more or
less tacit and passive approval. I hope the following brochure will help
to understand what disinformation is, how it works and how to fight against
it.
Disinformation: Bases
What is disinformation?
The disinformation is a manipulation of
the public opinion, for political purposes, with information processed
by diverted means.
What are its goals?
- At the enemy: to demoralize, weaken,
disintegrate, and destroy
- at home: to neutralize and drive the
masses in order to make them go in the desired direction at the desired
moment without resistance. Success in this area is mandatory in any democracy,
which is in fact nothing else than an apparent dictatorship of the majority.
How to achieve it?
- Discredit the authorities of the opposing
country, imply them into illegal operations, undermine their reputation.
- Discredit and hold up to ridicule everything
which is good in the opposing country, its traditions, its religion, its
faith, its army, its history. The aim is to destroy the identity of a people.
- Weaken the adversary. Encourage and
make him a slave of his passions (sex, money, wealth, power) in order to
make him paralyzed and without resistance.
- Destroy the adversary by dividing him.
Excite some against others, young against old, women against men, political
wing against political wing.
- Accordingly, do exactly the contrary
in your country. Make the nation united in the same spirit and having the
same will, reinforce the trust in your power, your institutions, and your
leaders.
With what methods? (Deals essentially with
disinformation "at home")
1) Demonization (always say as much evil
as possible about the potential enemy).
2) Manichaeism (present one side as 100%
good, the other as 100% bad and evil).
It is the principal characteristic of
every violence apology: in a first step, the adversary is presented as
a horrible monster, in order to produce a disgust reflex. Moreover, it
has the advantage to make the fiction more appealing than the reality,
because, not necessitating any reflection; the fiction becomes easier to
understand and to assimilate. It works particularly well with primitive
and low educated people. This specific feature is characteristic
of the American culture. Indeed, in practically every American movie, one
find the following elements, based onto an appropriate use of human passions
:
- good guys
- bad guys
- baddies do appalling horrors, which
excites in the audience various passions like hatred, disgust, desire of
vengeance, revenge, violence, murder, etc...
- When the audience is excited enough
and dominated by its passions, goodies perform the so desired and long-awaited
bloody massacre of baddies. Baddies die in horrible sufferings, the audience
is happy and satisfied, and passively absorbs the thesis: "it is justice".
Snakes Pliskens, Ramboes, Rockies, die hards, Schwarzies, Charles Bronsons,
judges Dredds, punishers, various warriors, cartoons, Batmans, Chucks Norris,
dirty Harries, Star wars, Aliens, Predators, Independence days, etc.. are
archetypes of such primitive scenarios (including Bill Clinton saying "It's
the war of Good against Evil" ! ).
3) Repetition. "A lie repeated one thousand
times remains a lie; a lie repeated one billion times becomes truth" (Goebbels).
Repeat and repeat again what you want people to believe in.
4) Hyperbolic inflation of the stakes.
(Say that the entire Europe and probably later the whole Earth will be
transformed in a blood bath if you don't intervene).
5) Polarization. ("If you are not with
us, you are against us", "if you refuse to kill, you will be a murderer").
6) Invoke God's punishment. ("God bless
America").
7) Metapropaganda. (The art of making suspicious
everything coming from the adversary). Never call opposing media "information
source", but always qualify them as "rough liars" and "propaganda tool".
8) Black propaganda. (Simulate propaganda
from your enemy, and subtly inject subversive ideas into it).
9) Appropriate use of false facts (lies).
- Make the adversary say what he did not
say ("He is against the bombing, so he is for Milosevic").
- Make the adversary say what he did not
say, but by using what he said elsewhere (hotchpotch) ("You said that you
don't hate Milosevic, so you like him").
- Make the adversary say what he did not
say, but what you guess he would have said if he were fair. (For example,
attribute to Milosevic violent anti-Albanian speeches, while he never did
any)
- Publish false information, fabrications,
forged or altered images.
This method can be used extensively and
without caution: indeed, only the first announcement does matter. Further
denials have NO EFFECT on public opinion. Nevertheless, since it is always
possible to bring a lie to the fore, and in order to maintain an impression
of objectivity, denials are steadily published, generally in small letters
and at a discreet place.
- Suggest false or unproved things.
In order to avoid the unpleasant impression
left by too frequent denials, another similar technique consists of suggesting
false events by using conditionals (would, could, should) and various adverbs
like "perhaps", "probably", maybe", "allegedly", "supposedly", etc.. that
allows saying anything without having to deny afterwards. The use of quotes
(""), which allows to associate suspicion and doubt to anything, is abundantly
used by written media.
10) Appropriate use of true facts.
The pursued goal here is not to inform,
but to obtain a given effect. There are several ways to exploit a fact.
It can be asserted/negated, magnified/minimized, approved/disapproved,
or simply passed over in silence.
No mention of the fact ("What you
dont speak about does not exist." Goebbels).
- Negation of facts (And accuse the other
of lie. Say that civilian targets are military).
- Inversion of facts (Present the torturers
as victims. In our moralizing and victimophilic time, the compassion reflex
is immediate).
- True/false mixing, in various proportions
(Multiply by xx 10,000 the number of supposed victims, the losses of the
enemy, etc...)
- Motif modification ("The goal of the
operation is highly humanitarian").
- Circumstances modification ("This war
is a defense operation against an aggression").
- Blurring (Flood the fact in a mass of
other facts, over saturate with useless information. Start a war in order
to make people forget about the President's lies, lack of honesty or sexual
misconduct).
- Camouflaging (Blow the ones up out of
all proportion, minimize the others).
- Interpretation (Use of highly appropriate
and oriented wording). This technique allows to associate precise ideas
to facts.
- Generalization (Transform individual
to collective. Find a couple of Serbian criminals, and say that all Serbs
are criminals)
- Illustration (Inverse of generalization.
Say that in every war there are innocent civilian casualties and that Serbian
victims are just the unavoidable illustration of this axiom).
- Quantitatively unequal parts. (Publish
only interviews of Albanians, none of Serbs). (Organize a public "objective
debate" with pro- and anti-, let pro speaks 90% of the time, anti 10% and
interrupt them permanently).
- Qualitatively unequal parts. (Organize
the same "objective debate", make both parts speak equally 50% of the time,
but... invite for pro an academician, PhD in psychology, having a deep
knowledge of the situation and used to speak publicly, and for anti a seller
of hamburgers).
How it works?
The very best disinformation service that
ever existed, the "A" department of The First Chief Directorate of
the KGB, often followed this method :
- collection of elements allowing to substantiate
a given disinformation
- choice of a theme
- recruiting of relays to spread the disinformation
- action (with the help of "resonance
chambers" (e.g. influential people), whose function is to maximize the
effect of the disinformation)
- creation of a psychotic hysteria leading
people to perform "self-disinformation". This last point, psychosis and
hysteria, is the typical and specific feature of a successful disinformation
operation, leading to a quasi-unanimity in the public opinion. Self-disinformation
is a kind of quasi pathologic state where people voluntarily get, see,
and hear only the information which agrees with the disinformation theme.
It is self-censure.
How it is realized?
A disinformation operation comprises the
following elements:
- the agent (the actual realizer)
- the client (or beneficiary)
- the marketing study (choice of best
adapted supports)
- the supports (facts or information.
True or false is not important)
- the relays (to ensure information transfer
and spreading)
- the theme ("Serbs are not people like
others")
- the processing of the theme (the actual
methods used in the operation)
- the resonance chambers (influence agents)
- the target (e.g. the public opinion)
- the psychosis (obtained if the operation
is successful).
The success of a disinformation operation
is usually proportional to the ignorance of the population on a given subject,
and to the amount of its prejudices. Creating psychosis and self-disinformation
in the target is the supreme goal of any disinformator. One must have in
mind that disinformation is only superficially aimed at intelligence. In
fact, it is aimed at emotional centers, guts, instincts, irrational behaviors,
primitive fears and reactions, emotional reflexes. Instinctive and emotion-driven
behavior automatically short-circuits the action of intelligence and reflection.
It actually eliminates any critical analysis capability of the target,
who ends defenseless in the hands of the disinformator.
Disinformation: Examples
Example of different possible uses of the
SAME true fact:
Here is a demonstration of different ways
to comment the SAME FACT. The fact is "the dog ate the meat" and the mission
is to make the dog appear innocent (I hope you will enjoy).
- OK it's the dog, but yesterday it was
the cat.
- What meat?
- It was only a small half-pound piece
of the several tons of meat stored at this place.
- It was a small piece of an old burned
meat, forgotten in the refrigerator.
- The meat was placed in the dog's plate,
who BTW just licked it, despite of the fact that he didn't eat for three
days.
- He didn't eat it; he just gave it to
his girlfriend.
- It's a five years old German shepherd,
who last year saved his master from drowning. He watches the house, brings
him the newspaper every morning, barks and eats a lot.
- The plate of the meat was made of blue
earthenware. It was a 4 pounds turkey. The dog was locked up inside the
house because of the rain and cold. It is the neighbor who let him eat
the meat.
- Dogs are unhappy in flats because banks
do not give low rate loans in order to build individual houses.
- Noodles so-and-so allow to avoid this
kind of problem.
- It is pitiful, masters who let their
dogs starving.
- An eyewitness testified that a wandering
dog ate it.
- There has been a TV emission explaining
that dogs are not responsible unless they have received a correct education.
- Be careful! One has already said that
he bit somebody 3 weeks ago, while it was another dog. Were you here when
the meat disappeared? No? So first find the meat, before accusing this
poor dog with so many slanders.
- The dog died: the meat was poisoned.
The same, with "an Albanian killed a Serb".
- The day before, twelve gypsies have
been killed at the same place.
- What Serb?
- This war has made several tens of thousands
of victims of both sides.
- He was heavily wounded and dying. The
Albanian felt pity for him and put an end to his sufferings.
- He was under surveillance like the other
prisoners, and then he tried to escape and began to run. One of the guards
shot him at the legs, but unfortunately the bullet strikes him at the head.
- The Serb first shot at him, and he replied
to enemy fire.
- He is a very experienced officer. He
belongs to one of the most famous elite units of the KLA. Those guys receive
specific training for special reconnaissance missions in advanced enemy
territory and are used to execute their mission in very small groups or
even alone, in extremely severe conditions.
- The Albanian stumbled and the shooting
happened by mistake.
- He saw that the situation was desperate,
but he preferred to commit suicide rather than surrender.
- A good equipment, an appropriate training
and a commandment by experienced officers would have allowed avoiding this
kind of incidents.
- The KLA strength has been so much reduced
after years of war, so they have even incorporated ex-convicts.
- An eyewitness testified that he was
killed by NATO peacekeeping forces, during a peacekeeping operation.
- These people know only war since their
birth. They have seen their entire family killed and their homes burned.
To remove such hatred will take years and years.
- Be careful! Were you here when he was
shot? No? So first find the responsible, before accusing all the Albanians
of being murderers.
- He has not been killed: he just died
naturally.
Dictionary of "appropriate wording":
- assassinate = kill, when your enemies
are killing.
- mass grave = where your enemies have
buried your friends.
- war criminal = who makes war and is
not of your side. Very often (and perfidiously) used to indicate someone
indicted for war crimes and not yet sentenced guilty.
- extremist = more extremist than you.
- fascist = to be pronounced first by
you, because it can be applied to you as well as to your enemy.
- racist = who makes a difference between
Islam and Christianity.
- terrorist = who uses violence and is
not of your side.
- deviationist = in a political group,
who does not agree with you.
- totalitarian = politics of your enemy.
- fanatic = someone who believes in something
different than you.
- nationalist = who loves his country
and is not of your side.
Example of use of appropriate wording (interpretation)
:
In the following list, there are two different
ways to describe the SAME FACT. Note that whatever formula is chosen, it
can perfectly be inverted from pro- to anti-, and there is no way to be
accused of lying or even distorting the truth.
- Serbs are killed, Albanians are massacred
or assassinated.
- Serbs dig mass graves, Albanians dig
tombs or communal graves.
- A Serbian soldier with a Kalashnikov
is a sniper, a KLA soldier with a Kalashnikov is a freedom fighter.
- Serbian corpses have battlefield wounds;
Albanian corpses have traces of tortures.
- Serbian refugees are leaving Kosovo;
Albanians refugees are ethnically cleansed from Kosovo.
- A Serbian refugee convoy is a line of
cars; an Albanian refugee convoy is a deportation.
- Ethnical cleansing of Albanians is an
atrocity, ethnical cleansing of Serbs is a logical payback.
- A smiling Serbian soldier is arrogant,
a smiling KLA soldier is happy.
- Serbian soldiers are slovenly-looking,
KLA soldiers clearly suffer from equipment problems.
- Serbian civilians killed by NATO are
collateral damage; Albanian civilians killed by NATO are a terrible mistake.
- Serbian civilians killed by Albanians
are war casualties, Albanian civilians killed by Serbians are war crime
victims.
- Milosevic is Milosevic; Clinton is the
President of United States Bill Clinton.
- There are Albanian eyewitness' corroborating
testimonies reporting that..., there are Serbs saying that...
- Serbs living near a military target
are neighbor population, Albanians living near a military target are a
human shield.
- A successful Serbian attack is a slaughter,
a successful KLA attack is a victory.
- Serbian nationalists are extremists,
Albanian nationalists are patriots.
- Serbs commit atrocities, Albanians commit
exactions.
- Ten torched Serbian houses are a brutal
reality; ten torched Albanian houses are evidence of Serb savagery.
- Serbs insulting Albanians are making
terror reign, Albanians insulting Serbs are angry people taking revenge
for their humiliation.
- Serbian soldiers take Muslim enclaves,
Albanian soldiers defend their homeland.
- The Krajina is liberated by the Croats;
the Bosnia is occupied by the Serbs.
Disinformation: Operation Serbia
1) The agent.
The public opinion manipulation agency
in charge of the Serbia operation was Ruder Finn Global Public Affairs.
From June to September 1992, Ruder Finn
has :
- had 30 meetings with the main press
groups
- diffused 13 exclusive information
- sent 37 last minute faxes
- sent 17 official letters
- submitted 8 official reports
- given 48 telephone calls to White House
members
- given 20 telephone calls to Senate members
- given about 100 telephone calls to media
influent personalities.
Throughout their activity against Serbia
public image, they actively participated in :
- Islamic Conference emergency session
on Bosnia-Herzegovina (Istanbul June1992)
- Conference on Security and Cooperation
in Europe (Helsinki July 1992)
- Conference on Former Yugoslavia (London
August 1992)
- United Nations General Assembly (October
1992)
- OIC in Jeddah
- UN Human Rights Commission in Geneva
- meetings with State Department
- meetings with National Security Council
officials
They also organized various private meetings
between the Bosnia foreign minister and :
- former British Prime Minister Margaret
Thatcher in London
- vice presidential candidate Senator
Albert Gore in New York
- Saudi Ambassador to the US Prince Bandar
in Houston
- President Bush
- Secretary of State Baker in Helsinki.
2) The client (or beneficiary)
Officially, Ruder Finn had as customers
the Republic of Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina, as well as the Albanian
opposition in Kosovo. Such unanimity is suspect, and it is probable that
Ruder Finn has been suggested to them (and helped) by some kind of 4th
customer, probably some US department (still not proven, but highly suspected
after information publication about CIA role in Bosnia war).
3) The market study
The original situation was very difficult,
because :
- Serbs fought heroically against Nazis
during WWII
- the Nazis founded a Croat state, whose
actual Croats openly claim to have their roots in
- Bosnian Muslims have been massively
engaged during WWII in the 13th SS division "Handschar", known for its
atrocities
- Albanian Muslims have been massively
engaged in the 21th SS division "Skenderberg"
- these SS and Croatian Ustashis performed
a genocide of Jews, Serbs and Gypsies
- Franjo Tudjman wrote a book published
in 1989, "Wastelands of historical truth", clearly anti-Semitic. He also
openly admires Ante Pavelic.
- Izetbegovic published in 1970 an "Islamic
declaration", clearly racist and claiming a super-Islamic state. The only
positive point was the tremendous lack of knowledge of Balkan's history
in the population. This point has been fantastically exploited.
4) The supports
The first support used by Ruder Finn was
the publishing by the New York Newsday of articles about prisoner camps,
where Muslims were kept.
5) The relays
The stroke of genius of Ruder Finn was
to ensure a relaying by Jewish organizations. The single word "camp" was
enough to disturb this community, and Ruder Finn immediately organized
meetings with three Jewish organizations :
- the B'nai B'rith Anti-Defamation League
- the American Jewish Committee
- the American Jewish Congress.
Ruder Finn then suggested them to publish
an article in the NY Times, and to organize a demonstration in front of
the UN. To make Jews support Muslims against Christian Serbs was an extraordinary
gamble, and it worked perfectly. From this moment, the media started to
have a strong anti-Serb attitude and
to use a heavily emotion-loaded language:
"ethnic cleansing", "concentration camps", "deportation", etc... The disinformation
theme was straightforward:
6) The theme was: "Serbs = Nazis".
Despite of the incongruity of this theme
(Serbs have been the most anti-Nazi people of the Balkans), the absolute
general ignorance about History made it work. This theme was so strong
so that it has been assimilated immediately by the media (who love sensationalism),
and it was IRREMEDIABLE. Everyone trying to defend the Serbs was depicted
as pro-Nazi. This theme is used for almost 14 years now, and is still very
successful.
7) The processing of the theme (other supports)
Seven other main supports have been used
in this operation:
- Destructions
Emphasis has always been put on eventual
destructions performed by Serbs. Since they were not sufficient, false
information was used. "The city of Dubrovnik has been entirely devastated"
(Paris-Match, November 29, 1991). Dubrovnik is actually intact. "Strategic
point for the Serbs, the Vukovar bridge was an architectural marvel..."
(Actuel, December 1993). There is no bridge in Vukovar, the photography
was the bridge of Mostar, and it has been destroyed by the Croats. "The
village of Cetekovak has been razed to the ground..." (L'evenement du jeudi,
September 12, 1991). Cetekovak is intact.
- Ethnic cleansings
The expressions "ethnic cleansing", "deportation"
have been intentionally used by the media in order to recall WWII atrocities
and to reinforce the theme. While expulsions were practiced by all parts,
no media ever reported that a half million Serb refugees have been "ethnically
cleansed" from Bosnia and Croatia.
- Camps
The Serbian camps were absolutely ordinary
and had nothing in particular. This required the use of fakes and bogus
information. "The picture that fooled the world", a photograph of an emaciated
man, behind barbed wire, was the first fake (made by Penny Marshall (ITN)
and Ian Williams (Chan4), worldwide published August 6, 1992). On the original
image, the emaciated man is surrounded by not-emaciated ones. The man,
Fikret Alic, was not a prisoner, but a refugee. The Trnopolje camp was
a refugee camp and not a prison. The refugees were outside barbwires, the
reporters inside. There were no barbwires around the camp, and the barbwires
were those of a neighbor pasture.
The publishing of this picture produced:
- a huge hysteria campaign in the media
("Belsen 92", "The Proof", "The picture of the Holocaust and concentration
camps", "Survivors of Auschwitz", "Evidence mounts on executions and beatings
in Serb-run camps")
- an emergency meeting of the cabinet
of British prime minister John Major, at which it was decided to send British
troops to Bosnia.
- Democratic Party candidate Bill Clinton
and running mate Al Gore asked President George Bush to take military action
against Bosnian Serbs.
- NATO staff (in Brussels) started to
plan a military intervention in the Balkans. (The fake was denounced by
Thomas Deichmann. ITN admitted the truth in the High Court in April 1997
- five years later). Image of "Muslim prisoners in a Serbian detention
camp", with a skeletal man (Time cover photo, August 17, 1992). The man,
Slobodan Konjevic, 37, was Serb and has been arrested and confined on charges
of looting. He was skeletal because of suffering from tuberculosis for
10 years. The 1992 BBC filming of an ailing, elderly "Bosnian Muslim prisoner-of-war
in a Serb concentration camp" resulted in his later identification by relatives
as retired Yugoslav army officer Branko Velec, a Bosnian Serb held in a
Muslim detention camp.
- Rapes
The idea of "rape camps" was positively
outstanding. The media hysteria was general (titles : "Rape by order",
"Rape horror", "Rape camps", "A pattern of rape"...), and people started
to believe in the existence of a "systematic rape plan". In reality, rapes
happened not more than in any war, and have been performed by all sides.
In 1992, the Bosnian government claimed that 50,000 Muslim women have been
raped, information abundantly relayed by the media. After investigation,
Amnesty International published in January 21, 1993, a report where the
issue of rape was qualified as a "propaganda weapon". Later on, the UN
Commission of Experts on War Crimes identified only 800 victims - Muslim,
Serb and Croat -. The hyperbolic inflation of numbers is well illustrated
by the following testimony: "When I was at 50 kilometers from Tuzla, I
was told 'go to Tuzla high school ground, as there are 4,000 raped women'.
At 20 kilometers, this figure dropped to 400. At 10 kilometers, only 40
were left. Once at the site, I found only 4 women willing to testify."
(French television reporter Jerome Bony, Special Envoy, quoted in French
magazine Le Point).
- Gassing
The April 10, 1995, "Le Soir", a Belgian
newspaper, published that Serbian police have used tear-gas. This information
has been relayed and transformed as follows:
"Serbs use gasses" (Die Welt, April 10,
1995).
"American spokesmen established that in
Zepa, Serbs have used chemical weapons" (NBC Handelsblad, July 28, 1995).
- Mass graves
The _expression "mass grave" has something
frightening and has been extensively used. Its emotional content overcomes
the fact that there are people killed in every war, and these people must
be buried somewhere.
- Massacres
The amount of casualties was heavily inflated,
and every death was attributed to Serbs. In February of 1993, the Bosnian
government, relayed by the international media, published the estimated
number of 250,000 victims. The International Red Cross later on estimated
the figures at 20-30,000. Not published. It is interesting to note that
the Sarajevo massacre, very probably performed by Bosnian Muslims (UN analysis
report by Reuters, Feb. 18, 1994 and David Binder article Oct. 2, 1995,
"The Nation"), has been willfully and deliberately used as a pretext for
NATO operations against Serbia, with FULL KNOWLEDGE OF THE FACTS (Publishing
of a talk between M. Jean Daniel and M. Juppe, French prime minister "Le
Nouvel Observateur", August 31, 1995).
8) The psychosis.
The psychosis and hysteria became total.
Some titles and expressions found in the media :
"the daily horror", "the criminal madness
of Serbian commanders", "horrors without equivalent in Europe since at
least a half-century", "particularly bestial rapes", "there are, on Serb
side, war criminals", "the terrible confession of the atrocities committed
by a young Serb", "the black part which is in every human being [...] is
here, in all its horror", "rape is actually a crime against humanity",
"Bosnia the shame", "everything indicates a deliberate will of humiliation,
annihilation of beings where Serbs have been the principal actors", "Serbs
created a hell", "ordinary cetnik : repeater rapes and murders", "Serbs
reached a new step in war horror", "the damned of Europe", "at the end
of hatred", "silence, one kill", "back to the hell", "shame camps", "Mladic
butchers", "the mad psychiatrist", "the most terrifying action the UN ever
participated to", "the greatest betrayal of UN", "the ultimate step of
an aberrant politics devoured by its own logic", "Satan himself could not
have imagined a so cruel thing", "a monster of horror movie that you believe
dead and in pieces, and whose each tentacle inflates and get autonomous
life"...
The gigantism of the "Operation Serbia"
gave rise to number of false notes.
- A child killed by a sniper in a bus (Sarajevo,
Aug 1992) called "muslim" by the TV. The funerals show Orthodox ritual.
- A 1992 TV report showing Serb victims
in Vukovar, reprinted with the caption "Is there any way to stop Serbian
atrocities in Bosnia?" (Newsweek, Jan 4, 1993)
- Reports of massacres of 14 Muslims and
then 10 Muslims supposedly killed by Serbs (CNN March and May 1993). The
victims later turned out to be Serbs. Not corrected.
- Photo of a Croat woman from Posusje
grieving for a son killed in Serb attacks (NY times Aug 1993). Fighting
in the Croat village of Posusje was between Muslims and Croats and has
caused 34 Bosnian Croat deaths, including the son of the woman in the photo.
- A photo of a woman in front of the grave
of her son, presented as Croat. The name is written in Cyrillic, she is
Serb.
- A photo of a tortured man with the 3
main fingers cut, presented as Muslim. He has his wedding ring at the 4th
finger of its right hand, he is a Serb.
- Armed paramilitary men, particularly
sinister, presented as Serbs. They wear the Croat check pattern insignia
(Corrected and apologized by "Le Nouvel Observateur", No 1470 and 1473).
- Testimony of Anisa, a child, saying
that she saw Serbs cutting noses and ears in Tuzla. Tuzla has never been
occupied by Serbs.
- Images of a fragments of a downed "Mig-29"
(CTV Mar 26, 1999, 22h42). There is a mention in English "ANNUAL INSP"
+references painted on one of the fragments.
As a conclusion, Serbia is now synonym
of Nazi Germany, and the Serbian people, sentenced to poverty and slow
death by years of embargo and full devastation by the US+NATO coalition,
is now considered by all the West as the pariahs of mankind. The "Operation
Serbia" has been 100% successful.
Congratulations. Sad but true.
