Also das ist der Haupt Ermitler der die BND Untersuchung zusätzlich bewies und bestätigte! Einer der echten Top Leute auf der Welt, für Hintergrund Informationen und gerade weil Athasaari, über den ICG von Soros und dem CIA kam, war Korruptions und Partei Nahme vorprogrammiert.

Ahtisaari’s Collusion With Albanian Mafia Confirmed Beyond Doubt
Ahtisaari payments
U.S. State Department Unable to Deny Ahtisaari Corruption
Excerpt From July 13 Press Briefing

Mr. Lambros.

QUESTION: On Kosovo. Mr. Casey, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov suggested today Martti Ahtisaari unfitness* to mediate further talks based on a bunch of reports that Albanian mafia bribed the UN Kosovo mediator, something which has been most* confirmed by Washington-based Global Information System, GIS, and Gregory Copely of Defense and Foreign Affairs Institute. Given the U.S. Government concern about corruption at the UN, should the U.S. Government be calling for an investigation into this matter? How do these allegations impact U.S. confidence in Ahtisaari’s fitness to mediate further talks in Kosovo?

MR. CASEY: Mr. Lambros, I think that the reports you’re referring to probably fall into the category of spurious [German Intelligence and GIS reports are “spurious”?!]. But look, Mr. Ahtisaari is a distinguished former head of government of Finland, a person with a tremendous amount of experience and a track record in working on these issues. He has the full confidence of the Secretary General who appointed him UN and certainly the plan that Mr. Ahtisaari put forward has the full endorsement of the United States as the basis for moving forward.

We’ve put forward a Security Council resolution with others that calls presently for a period of additional discussions among the parties prior to implementation of those recommendations. But again, I don’t see any reason why there should be any question about the work that he did. We very much appreciate and respect the efforts that he made. We believe that he came up with a good plan and one that’s in the best interests of the Kosovars, of the Serbian people and of the region as a whole.

QUESTION: One more on the same issue. According to reports, the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon already started an investigation about these payments, confirmed the existence by a report prepared for him by the German intelligence agency BND unit assigned to the UN mission in Kosovo. Any comment on it?

MR. CASEY: Mr. Lambros, you’re free to go ask the UN what investigations it has or hasn’t started. […] If you’d like to pursue shadows, feel free to talk to the UN about it.
Far More Than “Shadows” — Gregory Copley: Ahtisaari’s Corruption Confirmed Beyond Doubt

In July 14 exclusive interview with Belgrade daily Vecernje novosti, the President of the International Strategic Studies Association Gregory Copley confirmed that everything published about Martti Ahtisaari being bribed by the Albanian mafia to propose independence for southern Serbian Kosovo province is correct.

“We have been investigating a number of corruption cases in the Balkans during the past 15 years. We have received a lot of information and heard rumors about corruption in the Martti Ahtisaari’s office, but we waited until we heard for the article published by the Banja Luka daily Fokus. That’s when we started our own investigation. Talking with the number of our sources, we confirmed that German Intelligence Service BND has indeed put this report together. Our report is created for the governments which are the only ones using the Global Information System. As far as I understand, it was leaked to the media,” said Copley.
Ahtisaari’s Anti-Serbian Bias Evident from the Start

QUESTION: Is the information about Ahtisaari being bribed reliable?

MR. COPLEY: First of all, we have seen the BND report. We then inquired with our sources if we can get an independent confirmation about the Ahtisaari corruption. Few intelligence sources from different states involved in Kosovo process were either suspecting or had evidence about Ahtisaari’s involvement with Albanian organized crime.

QUESTION: How long were you on Ahtisaari’s trail?

MR. COPLEY: We have been observing him ever since he was appointed a UN special envoy for Kosovo status, because we knew he came to that post after working for the International Crisis Group, established by the financier George Soros. We also knew that Soros, as well as the ICG, is firmly backing the independence of Kosovo province. This meant that Ahtisaari obviously wasn’t an impartial person for this position.

QUESTION: Has any particular government ordered the investigation of the Ahtisaari case?

MR. COPLEY: Our association conducts independent investigations. We do not work for any particular government and that is why many governments trust our neutrality. We have conducted a large number of investigations pertaining to the Balkan events, the results of which were considerably different from the picture created by the media. This has made some of the governments skeptical, but most of them have now arrived at the position that our reports have been confirmed over time.

QUESTION: In your experience, how much could a revelation such as this one influence the concrete politics?

MR. COPLEY: We’ve had many requests for confirmation and for further information by the large number of governments and international organizations overseeing the Kosovo process.

QUESTION: From the Serbian Government?

MR. COPLEY: Not from the Serbian Government.

QUESTION: From the American Administration?

MR. COPLEY: All I’m going to say is — not from the Serbian Government, but from the large number of governments and the international organizations.
U.S. State Department Acts Like the Albanian Terrorists’ Agent

QUESTION: What do you expect now?

MR. COPLEY: We expect the United Nations to evaluate Ahtisaari’s position. Unfortunately, it seems that the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon lacks the guts to acknowledge the situation created by the [Albanian terrorist] KLA threats of renewed violence. I am disappointed with the fact that the new UN Secretary General has no courage to clean his own backyard. This shows that there is a lot of corruption within the UN that also existed during the Ban Ki-moon’s predecessor.

QUESTION: According to the Fokus article, it was the UN Secretary General that requested the investigation of Ahtisaari’s corruption?

MR. COPLEY: Soon after he requested the investigation, he demanded quick resolution of Kosovo issue and he failed to undertake clear steps to suspend Ahtisaari, or to examine his work. He was obviously shocked by the initial accusations, which German intelligence confirmed beyond any doubts. But it should also be taken into consideration that Ki-moon is right now under enormous pressure — not just from the KLA which threatens the entire region with violence, but from the U.S. State Department which acts like the KLA agent in promoting Kosovo independence.

Erst Afghanistan, dann Pakistan

Thomas Pany 16.07.2007

Englische Generäle sind besorgt über die Entwicklung in Afghanistan

Englische Generäle machen sich Sorgen um die Entwicklung in Afghanistan. Ein ehemaliges hochrangiges Mitglied des englischen Verteidigungsministeriums, das nach Informationen der Sonntagszeitung Observer die Meinung der Generäle vertritt, hat vergangene Woche in drastischen Worten darauf hingewiesen, dass die Situation weitaus ernsthafter sei, als man dies wahrhaben wolle.

Die Einlassung des früheren Chief of the Defence Staff (CDS), Lord Inge, vor dem englischen Oberhaus wird von der englischen Zeitung als unverblümte Warnung der Generäle an die Regierung interpretiert. Der ehemalige Field Marshal Inge gehört zu jenen hochrangigen Ex-Militärs, die den Einsatz in Afghanistan von Anfang an öffentlich kritisierten.

Ein Scheitern der westlichen Truppen in Afghanistan hätte schlimmere Konsequenzen als ein Scheitern im Irak, so Inge, da mit dem Fall der Regierung Karsai Entwicklungen in Gang gesetzt werden könnten, die auf Pakistan übergreifen und dort eine islamistische Regierung an die Macht bringen könnten. Inge, der sich vor kurzem in Afghanistan über die Lage informierte, unterstützt damit die ziemlich düstere Einschätzung des ehemaligen EU-Vertreters in Bosnien, Ashdown, der einen regionalen Krieg und ein Ansteigen der Terrorgefahr in England befürchtet:

If we fail in Afghanistan then Pakistan goes down. The security problems for Britain would be massively multiplied. I think you could not then stop a widening regional war that would start off in warlordism but it would become essentially a war in the end between Sunni and Shia right across the Middle East.

Ein All-Parteien Bericht eines Unterhaus-Ausschusses, dessen Veröffentlichung für diese Woche erwartet wird, soll nach Informationen des Observers die “Warnung der Generäle” untermauern. Vorabinformationen zufolge macht der Bericht zum einen den hohen Blutzoll unter der afghanischen Zivilbevölkerung dafür verantwortlich, dass sich die Bevölkerung mehr den Taliban zu wendet und zum andern die Bemühungen der USA, Mohnfelder zu vernichten.

Unterdessen wecken jüngste Entwicklungen im pakistanisch-afghanischen Grenzland, besonders in Wasiristan, bei manchen Beobachtern tatsächlich die Befürchtung, dass sich in Pakistan ein “ausgewachsener” Krieg zwischen islamistischen Militanten und der Regierung unter Präsident Muscharraf entwickeln könnte.
