KLA Organ Harvesting Atrocity

Kosovo Albanian Organ Harvesting Atrocities Investigated by the Council of Europe

On Wednesday, June 25, the Council of Europe appointed Swiss senator Dick Marty to investigate charges that Kosovo Albanian terrorist KLA (UCK) were using kidnapped Kosovo-Metohija Serbs to harvest their organs for sale during and after the civil war in southern Serbian province.

The charges that Kosovo Albanians, led by the war criminals currently governing Kosovo and Metohija province — Hashim Thaci, Agim Ceku and Ramush Haradinaj — had profited from selling human organs of abducted Serbs were first brought forth in the book “The Hunt: Me and the War Criminals” by Carla Del Ponte, former chief prosecutor of the war crimes tribunal in the Hague.

Del Ponte’s book describes the plight of one group of some 300 Kosovo province Serbs, who were transported to neighboring Albania in 1999, while NATO troops were already present in the province, where they were held in camps and subjected to forced organ extractions. United States-based non-governmental organization Human Rights Watch said it has corroborated Del Ponte’s allegations.

Responding to requests by the Russian Federation, the Council of Europe’s parliamentary assembly decided that the charges merit a full investigation. Dick Marty, a Swiss lawyer who became famous for investigating CIA secret torture chambers and rendition flights through Europe, was asked by the 47-nation pan-European organization to investigate the most morbid chain of war crimes after the WWII.

Both Del Ponte and a number of Serbs have pointed to the involvement of UNMIK officials who prevented earlier investigations and averted each attempt to reach the kidnapped Serbs while they were still alive and held imprisoned by the Albanian KLA butchers in improvised camps throughout Kosovo-Metohija province, suggesting that the logistics and the scope of these atrocities went far beyond the KLA terrorists and that some of the top Western politicians and senior UNMIK leaders were involved in the harrowing series of war crimes.

In an article published yesterday, Belgrade daily offers transcript of the secretly taped conversation between Javier Solana and Wesley Clark, contents of which indicates that NATO leaders were not only aware of the ongoing monstrosity, but also involved in it.

…One Summer Evening in Swiss Alps: Wesley Clark and Javier Solana

Translation of the article and transcript of conversation published by Belgrade daily Kurir

NATO leaders Wesley Clark and Javier Solana knew that the international forces in Kosovo are dealing in trafficking of the human organs and drugs, and were most probably involved in these deals. Former NATO chief commander, American General Wesley Clark and then-NATO Secretary General Javier Solana have met on August 15, 2001, in a villa rented in Swiss Alps.

Kurir has obtained the transcript of the conversation between the two NATO leaders, which confirms many suspicions regarding the trade in human organs, as well as the drug trafficking. The trade of human organs is a subject of both Hague tribunal investigation and the investigation by the Council of Europe, recently initiated by the Russian Federation.

Kurir will publish the complete Solana-Clark conversation. That evening, two young women were also with them, to help improve the mood of the two officials. They chatted in a relaxed atmosphere, sipping cocktails.

Clark: I’ll visit Kosovo in few days…

Solana: Be careful. The narco-dealer gangs are roaming through Kosovo. There is no law, no control there… Hm, we made a big mistake when we allowed these [Albanians] to rule.

Clark: Yeah… maybe.

Solana: This is all the fault of CIA operatives… All they care about is drugs and their business…

Clark: Yes, I know how things are down there… I often go to Kosovo, mostly incognito, it’s safer that way. But, now I have to finish one business. We have to transfer a load to Fort Bragg.

Solana: Hopefully, it’s not that urgent… Are you talking about the organs?

Clark: Yes, yes…

Solana: Bondsteel is doing a good job. Schlaphcock (spelling unknown) [man in charge for the U.S. military camp security] and Kouchner [Bernard, first UNMIK head, now Minister of Foreign Affairs of France, suspected of also being involved in the organ harvesting and trade] are doing their jobs excellently…

Clark: Right. It seems it’s urgent now. There are constant meetings with General Anderson. Once I finish this, I’d drop by Serbia. What do you think, how will they receive me?

Solana: Don’t worry, they’ll be good. These ones in Belgrade are much more obedient even than those in Podgorica [Montenegro]. In Montenegro the presidents can be changed, but Milo [Djukanovic, former and current Montengro premier] is pulling all the strings, because he uses money to buy everything. Once you get to Belgrade, avoid contacts with Kostunica and his people… Relations between him and Djindjic have gone rather cold… Although, I think Djindjic is right, Kostunica is not easy for cooperation. You know, when you talk to him, he always listens very carefully, but in the end of the conversation he always sharpens things up. We could never reach the full agreement with him on anything.

Clark: How do you think they’ll react to this about the TV station [Belgrade RTS TV station that was razed during NATO aggression, in violation of the Geneva Convention, killing 16 staff members]? You know that I wrote in my book that I have personally picked the targets…

Solana: Yes, I know, I’ve seen that.

Clark: But you also know how much Clinton and his were pressing for bombardment of the Serbian television…

Solana: What we know stays between us! You mustn’t talk about that with anyone!

The Coming Catastrophe?
The finishing touches on several contingency plans for attacking Iran

by David DeBatto

Global Research, June 23, 2008

We bring to the attention of our readers David DeBatto’s scenario as to what might occur if one of the several contingency plans to attack Iran, with the participation of Israel and NATO, were to be carried out. While one may disagree with certain elements of detail of the author’s text, the thrust of this analysis must be taken seriously.

“Israel has said a strike on Iran will be “unavoidable” if the Islamic regime continues to press ahead with alleged plans for building an atom-bomb.” (London Daily Telegraph, 6/11/200

“Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany joined President Bush on Wednesday in calling for further sanctions against Iran if it does not suspend its uranium enrichment program.” Mr. Bush stressed again that “all options are on the table,” which would include military force. (New York Times, 6/11/200

We are fast approaching the final six months of the Bush administration. The quagmire in Iraq is in its sixth painful year with no real end in sight and the forgotten war in Afghanistan is well into its seventh year. The “dead enders” and other armed factions are still alive and well in Iraq and the Taliban in Afghanistan again controls most of that country. Gas prices have now reached an average of $4.00 a gallon nationally and several analysts predict the price will rise to $5.00-$6.00 dollars per gallon at the pump by Labor Day. This, despite assurances by some major supporters of the decision to invade Iraq that the Iraq war “will pay for itself” (Paul Wolfowitz) or that we will see “$20.00 per barrel” oil prices if we invade Iraq (Rupert Murdoch).

One thing the Pentagon routinely does (and does very well) is conduct war games. Top brass there are constantly developing strategies for conducting any number of theoretical missions based on real or perceived threats to our national security or vital interests. This was also done prior to the invasion of Iraq, but the Bush administration chose not to listen to the dire warnings about that mission given to him by Pentagon leaders, or for that matter, by his own senior intelligence officials. Nevertheless, war gaming is in full swing again right now with the bullseye just to the right of our current mess – Iran. ………

Moldawien schert aus

Treffen der GUAM-Gruppe: Georgien, Aserbaidschan und Ukraine auf dem Weg in die NATO. Republik Moldau prüft Annäherung an Moskau

Am Dienstag kamen in der georgischen Hafenstadt Batumi die Präsidenten und Spitzenpolitiker der prowestlichen GUAM-Gruppe zusammen. Auf dem Gipfel wurde vor allem der Aufbau einer umfassenden Kooperation besprochen. Bislang galt die Sicherheitsallianz der Länder Georgien, Ukraine, Aserbaidschan und Moldawien als eher lockeres Bündnis. Die Delegationen diskutierten erstmals auch ökonomische Fragen, wie den Ausbau der Verkehrsinfrastruktur und die energiepolitische Zusammenarbeit.

So kündigte beispielsweise der aserbaidschanische Staatschef Ilcham Alijew an, die Gasexporte Aserbaidschans nach Georgien zu intensivieren und somit die Abhängigkeit der mit Moskau zerstrittenen südkaukasischen Republik von russischen Erdgas zu mindern. GUAM habe ein »großes ökonomisches Potential«, betonte der aserbaidschanische Wirtschaftsminister Natig Alijew nach Gesprächen mit seiner georgischen Amtskollegin Ekaterina Scharaschidse, bei denen eine bessere Nutzung und Koordination der Transportkapazitäten beider Länder erörtert wurde. Zudem einigten sich die GUAM-Staaten auf einen Zusammenarbeit ihrer Grenzpolizeieinheiten ab 2009.

Das diesjährige Treffen der west­orientierten Allianz stand unter dem Motto »GUAM einigt den Osten Europas«, und deren Generalsekretär Waleri Tschetschelaschwili machte auch klar, welches »Europa« hier gemeint sei: Man suche die Nähe der Europäischen Union, erklärte Tschetschelaschwili gegenüber der Presse.

Überschattet wurde der Gipfel von moldauischen Absetzbewegungen. So sagte die Ministerpräsidentin der Republik Moldau, Zinaida Greceanii, ihre Teilnahme kurzfristig ab und ließ sich durch ihren Innenminister vertreten. In einem Interview mit der russischen Tageszeitung Kommersant deutete der moldauische Präsident Wladimir Woronin sogar eine prinzipielle, geopolitische Umorientierung Moldawiens in Richtung Moskau an. Man sei enttäuscht darüber, daß eine vom ukrainischen Odessa bis ins polnische Gdansk geplante Ölpipeline nicht über moldauisches Territorium verlaufen soll, klagte der moldauische Staatschef. »Darüber hinaus ereigneten sich im letzten Jahr sehr merkwürdige Dinge. Gespräche über die Errichtung eigener Friedenstruppen wurden eingeleitet«, warnte Woronin. »Wir haben aber bereits international anerkannte russische Friedenstruppen, wozu brauchen wir noch mehr?« fragte der moldauische Präsident in Bezug auf die russischen Militärkontingente in den abtrünnigen Regionen Abchasien und Südossetien, die sich nach blutigen Bürgerkriegen in den 1990er Jahren von Georgien abspalteten.

Diese neue moldauische Distanz könnte aber auch mit einer zunehmenden Ankopplung der GUAM-Saaten an die Nato in Zusammenhang stehen. Wie die russische Nesawissimaja Gaseta kurz vor dem Gipfel in Batumi meldete, soll bereits im Juli bei geheimen Sicherheitsberatungen ein »Nato-Beitritt Aserbaidschans zur Sprache kommen.« Damit wäre Aserbaidschan neben der Ukraine und Georgien das dritte Mitgliedsland der GUAM-Gruppe, »dessen Aufnahme in die Nato westliche Vertreter offen fordern«, kommentierte die russische Nachrichtenagentur RIA-Nowosti.

COURT INVALIDATES DETAINEE’S “ENEMY COMBATANT” STATUS

A federal appeals panel found that the designation of a Chinese
detainee held in U.S. custody as an “enemy combatant” was “not valid”
because the classified evidence offered by the government was not
sufficient to sustain the charge.

In the first legal challenge to enemy combatant status, Huzaifa Parhat,
an ethnic Uighur, admitted to being an enemy of the People’s Republic of
China but denied any connection with al Qaida or the Taleban and
specifically denied that he was an enemy of the United States.

Military prosecutors argued that he qualified as an enemy combatant
because he was “affiliated” with military forces that were “associated”
with al Qaida and the Taleban.

In a straightforward but nevertheless thrilling exercise of judicial
authority, judges said that the classified evidentiary basis for that
argument could not be independently validated and was therefore
inadequate.

“We must be able to assess the reliability of that evidence ourselves,”
the judges wrote.

“The government suggests that several of the assertions in the
intelligence documents are reliable because they are made in at least
three different documents. We are not persuaded,” the court said.

Adding a literary flourish, the judges wrote that “the fact that the
government has ’said it thrice’ does not make an allegation true. See
LEWIS CARROLL, THE HUNTING OF THE SNARK 3 (1876) (’I have said it
thrice: What I tell you three times is true.’).”

Likewise, they wrote, “the government insists that the statements made
in the [classified evidentiary] documents are reliable because the
State and Defense Departments would not have put them in intelligence
documents were that not the case. This comes perilously close to
suggesting that whatever the government says must be treated as true,
thus rendering superfluous both the role of the Tribunal and the role
that Congress assigned to this court.”

In a court of law, the prosecution must prove its case and not simply
assert it, the judges explained.

“We […] reject the government’s contention that it can prevail by
submitting documents that read as if they were indictments or civil
complaints, and that simply assert as facts the elements required to
prove that a detainee falls within the definition of enemy combatant.
To do otherwise would require the courts to rubber-stamp the
government’s charges,” the ruling stated.

The court also denied a government request to block public disclosure
of certain unclassified information in the trial record, including
material marked “Law Enforcement Sensitive.”  (The new ruling is
apparently the first to cite President Bush’s memorandum on “controlled
unclassified information” that was published on May 9, 2008.)

Significantly, the court rejected the government’s attempt
“unilaterally to determine whether information is ‘protected’.”
Sealing the judicial record, the judges said, is a decision for the
court to make.

“Without an explanation tailored to the specific information at issue,
we are left with no way to determine whether it warrants protection –
other than to accept the government’s own designation. This we cannot
do.”

Instead, the government was directed to file a new motion “accompanied
by pleadings specifically explaining why protected status is required
for the information that has been marked. Opposing counsel may file a
response, and the government may file a reply, pursuant to our usual
rules.”

The classified June 20, 2008 ruling in Huzaifa Parhat v. Robert M.
Gates was redacted and approved for publication on June 30.  A copy is
available here:

Man sollte dabei nicht vergessen, das der Absturz von Siemens, erst durch die kriminellen SPD Politiker und kriminelle Aussenminister moeglich ist und war!
Staatlich finanziert wird dieses Verbrecher Kartell u.a. durch die KfW, welche ja diese Bestechungs Projekte finanziert und reichlich die Deutschen Politiker mit Berater Vertraegen um die Verbrecher Organisation GTZ - BMZ versorgt.
