“Gotovina” to trace the path of war crimes suspect

01/05/2007

A US-made documentary addresses the life and career of Ante Gotovina, the retired Croatian general who faces war crimes charges at The Hague.

The California-based film company Pirate Town Productions is preparing a documentary that will deal with the life and military career of retired Croatian Army Lieutenant General Ante Gotovina. The general, who is awaiting trial in The Hague, has been indicted for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during and after the 1995 Operation Storm.

The director of “Gotovina” is a San Pedro journalist of Croatian origin, Jack Baric. He decided to make the film because he considers Gotovina’s biography — which includes alleged robbery and extortion, work for French right-wing politician Jean-Marie Le Pen’s security team, and a stint training Latin American paramilitary groups — intriguing.

Baric and his partners have produced a number of documentaries that deal with mixed American communities. Film critics welcome their “melting pot” approach. Baric said “Gotovina” would be first presented at the Sundance Film Festival.

The film “traces the path of the war in the former Yugoslavia, from its start in July of 1991, to the Operation Storm offensive in August of 1995, with the intent of determining whether Croatian General Ante Gotovina is guilty of war crimes”, according to the film company’s website. “In addition, the film will explore the various policy initiatives of the UN, Britain and the United States to put Operation Storm into proper context within the war in Croatia and Bosnia.”

The crew has filmed interviews in The Hague, Zagreb, Sarajevo, London, Paris and Belgrade. More than 20 high-ranking officials, NGO activists and war crimes experts have been interviewed so far. The crew also spent a few days in the Knin area, the region that was under Gotovina’s command during Operation Storm. They have been talking to witnesses and refugees — of both Croatian and Serbian ethnicity — who have returned to their homes.

The 90-minute documentary will not only deal with Gotovina’s return to Croatia during the conflict, but will also address his years in the French Foreign Legion.

In Croatia, the documentary has provoked a great deal of public interest, as it is the first to deal with the issue of Gotovina. Although Croatian directors have shown interest in making a film based on his life, none have done so.

Pirate Town Productions contacted Gotovina to take part in the movie, but he had to decline due to security rules in Scheveningen detention unit.

Massachusetts Senator’s conclusion directly contradicts 9/11 official story, multi-billion dollar insurance lawsuit

At a recent speaking engagement in Austin Texas, Senator John Kerry responded to a question about WTC Building 7 by concluding that according to his information, the building was brought down as a result of a controlled demolition, directly contradicting the official line that the structure fell as a result of fire and debris damage.

WTC Building 7 was a 47-story building in the WTC complex that collapsed at 5:20pm on September 11. The building had been structurally reinforced and was not hit by a plane yet collapsed in a uniform implosion within its own footprint in a matter of seconds after sustaining relatively light debris and fire damage following the collapse of the twin towers.

News networks like BBC and CNN were reporting that the building had collapsed before it fell, indicating that the media were being handed a script of events that had yet to even unfold.

Ground zero EMT’s, firefighters and police were all told hours in advance to clear a collapse zone for Building 7 as it was going to be “brought down.”

Questioned on WTC 7 by members of Austin 9/11 Truth Now at a Book People event in Austin Texas, Kerry responded, “I do know that that wall, I remember, was in danger and I think they made the decision based on the danger that it had in destroying other things, that they did it in a controlled fashion.”

Kerry is basically saying that the building was intentionally demolished to prevent a random collapse from damaging nearby buildings, but that premise has never been explicitly admitted, with officials clinging to the notion that the collapse was expected but was not aided by means of explosive charges, because to admit to a controlled demolition would be to expose foreknowledge of 9/11 itself.

Whether Kerry is basing his response on inside knowledge or hearsay is irrelevant, the fact that a sitting United States Senator is openly contradicting the official 9/11 story as well as a multi-billion dollar insurance lawsuit strikes at the root of the controversy surrounding Building 7.

In February of 2002 Silverstein Properties won $861 million from Industrial Risk Insurers to rebuild on the site of WTC 7. Silverstein Properties’ estimated investment in WTC 7 was $386 million. This building’s collapse alone resulted in a payout of nearly $500 million, based on the contention that it was an accidental event caused by the fall of the twin towers.

EMT’s, firefighters and first responders all knew the building was pulled, anyone with an ounce of common sense can watch the videos and understand that building’s don’t commit suicide - and yet Silverstein, the government, and their propaganda arm Popular Mechanics, are wedded to the myth that the structure fell as a result of fire damage. They are beholden to this explanation because any revision on their behalf would undermine the entire sequence of events on 9/11 and call into question other aspects of the official story.

Their credibility rests on sweeping the issue of WTC 7 under the rug, which makes it our responsibility to keep beating the Building 7 drum.

Official reports from both NIST and FEMA state that they cannot explain why Building 7 fell, but maintain that it was related to a terrorist attack on the complex on 9/11. However, the FEMA report concludes that, “The specifics of the fires in WTC 7 and how they caused the building to collapse remain unknown at this time. The best hypothesis has only a low probability of occurrence. Further research, investigation, and analyses are needed to resolve this issue.”

NIST is currently undertaking a study of WTC 7 to determine if bombs or incendiary devices were used to bring down the building.

Controlled demolitions expert Danny Jowenko was shown footage and building schematics of Building 7 by Dutch television and immediately concluded that its collapse was a result of deliberately placed explosives.

Preparing to demolish even a moderate sized building takes weeks of preparation. A building as large as WTC 7, a 47-story skyscraper, must have taken at least as long. Therefore, the idea that the building was demolished in response to fires spread from the twin towers is not a satisfactory response, as the building could not have been set up for unexpected demolition in only a few hours, much less while fires burned inside. All personnel were withdrawn from the area very early, meaning the explosives which can clearly be seen in the videos were placed days or weeks before 9/11.

Kerry was also asked about the research of Dr. Steven Jones, who has tested both samples of steel from the twin towers as well as recovered dust, which have both tested positive for the chemical signature of Thermate, which is used to cut support beams in localized reactions during a controlled demolition.

Kerry stated that he was not aware of the research and is “open to hearing anything based in fact and evidence.”

Since John Kerry is a fellow Skull and Bones member with President Bush, allied to the fact that he took a dive despite massive evidence of vote fraud during the 2004 election, we won’t hold our breath on the possibility of Kerry being a torch bearer for a new investigation into 9/11, but his conclusion that WTC 7 was deliberately demolished adds substantial weight to a 9/11 enigma that officials are terrified will reach critical mass.
