Investigation of illegal trafficking in human bodily organs in Kosovo has revealed more victims besides the Serbs who were kidnapped, killed, and butchered for their organs during the Kosovo War and its aftermath. Once the supply of Serb victims ran out, the criminals used fraud to obtain kidneys from desperately impoverished living donors, and transplanted those kidneys into unwitting recipients. The organ donors never received the promised financial recompense, but were simply dumped out after the surgery to fend for themselves.

Kosovo organ trade probe tracking victims abroad

AFP/Pristina

EU prosecutors in Kosovo trying seven people accused of organ trafficking in a landmark case said yesterday that they had asked Russia, Ukraine, Israel and Turkey to help them identify victims of the scam.

“We have several requests for legal assistance out to many countries including most importantly the Russian Federation, Israel, Ukraine and Turkey, requesting legal assistance to identify and locate victim donors as a matter of urgency,” EU special prosecutor Jonathan Ratel told AFP.

The seven suspects are accused of organ trafficking and of being part of an organised crime ring in the so-called Medicus case, named after the Pristina clinic where the crimes allegedly took place.

The main defendants in the case, which is being heard before EU judges in a Pristina court and prosecuted by EU lawyers, are former Kosovo health secretary Ilir Rrecaj and Lutfi Dervishi, a prominent Pristina urologist.

Other suspects in the case include Turkish doctor Yusuf Sonmez, who is accused of having carried out illegal operations to remove organs, and Moshe Harel, an Israeli accused of recruiting and bringing the victims to Kosovo. They are both indicted in Turkey.

According to the indictment, the victims were recruited from poor eastern European and Central Asian countries. They were promised about 15,000 euros ($19,440) for organs, while recipients were charged up to 100,000 euros.

The charge sheet alleges that around 20 victims identified so far were not paid the promised amount for their organs but were left to their own devices after their kidneys were taken from them.

“They were literally cast aside at the airport. They were discarded as used material after the operation,” Ratel said.

The Medicus clinic was raided by police in 2008 after Turkish national Yilman Altun, 28, nearly collapsed at Pristina airport waiting for a flight back to Istanbul after donating a kidney to an Israeli man.

After that incident in Kosovo, Altun disappeared.

“He is still missing. And he is probably the most important witness,” Ratel said. “I need to find him. I need this witness.”

The prosecutor is also working with the US, Canada, Germany and Britain to find more victims.

“We are working aggressively with all those countries and pursuing that with everything we have, (so we can) locate and identify and have those victims as witnesses,” he said.

On Monday an American witness, New York store manager Joseph Koralashvili, testified via video-link how he had joined his late father Raphael from Israel on a trip to Kosovo to receive a kidney transplant in October 2008. “His kidneys were no longer functioning. That’s why he was very ill,” the 41-year-old said.

Koralashvili, whose father died three months ago from leukaemia, told the court that no one at the Medicus clinic had identified himself or herself as a doctor to him and his father during their six-day stay in Pristina.

“Did you know where that kidney your father received came from?” Ratel asked him by video link.

“No,” replied Kotalashvili whose testimony was secured with the help of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

It is the first such case with an international dimension tackled by the European rule of law mission EULEX, which has about 3,000 members and which was launched after Kosovo declared independence from Serbia in 2008.

The Medicus clinic was mentioned in the report of Council of Europe special rapporteur Dick Marty, who alleged that Kosovo Prime Minister Hashim Thaci and some his associates from the ethnic Albanian guerrillas were involved in organised crime and organ trafficking during the 1998-1999 war with Serbia.

However Ratel insisted that “there is no clear evidence of any link between the private clinic Medicus and any other allegation during the conflict at this time”.

Ratel is being deceptive here. Dick Marty’s report is well known, but the EULEX investigators are simply unwilling to investigate or publicize any cases where Serbs are the victims.

The Albanian mafia devastates forests in southern Serbia

Albanians in Kosovo are devastated forests in the southern Serbian province and now find themselves in the municipality of Medvedja, Raska, Kursumlija, Leskovac and Vranje in southern Serbia, writes Belgrade’s “Evening News.” [See: Albanska mafija krade naše šume!] Most Albanians are cut down trees in a forest farm “Kuršumlija” where is the beginning of 2011. The illegally harvested 10,315 cubic meters, which is 62.9 percent of the total illegal logging in the central and southern Serbia, according to a report of illegal deforestation of the Public Company “Srbija”.

Ever since international forces arrived in Kosovo and Metohija, the 1999th year, she began a massive theft of state forests are carried out by the Albanians, but also in municipalities situated in the zone proper.

Executive Director of Forestry and Environmental Protection “Srbija” Predrag Aleksic said that the Serbian state officials are not allowed to enter the safety zone between central Serbia and Kosovo, while on the other hand allow EULEX to Kosovo Albanians.

Aleksic explained that the Albanian mafia organized forest in groups that usually have three tractors, chain saws and a dozen truck. Fall in najtesnije canyons, wherever there is a forest road. To intimidate the forest guards, Albania on the Serbian territory šumokradice shoot or throw grenades in their direction.

It is suspected that the Albanian mafia has forest associates among the Serbs, who live in the municipalities of Kuršumlija, Leskovac, Vranje and Raska Medvedja.

“Most of the stolen wood in Serbia, which is transferred to the province, sold for fuel at a price about 45 euros per cubic meter. In addition, in Kosovo there are wild sawmill, whose forest mafia boss ordered the theft of logs from Serbian forests. They fall, just cut a healthy tree corpse transported to Kosovo, and cut branches left in the forests in southern Serbia. while these cases have been reported, KFOR and EULEX refuse to protect the forest wealth of the Serbian and the Kosovo šumokradice catch,” said Aleksic.

So ein Wunder gescheht nicht oft ! Orginal link und klare text auf Deutsch :
http://www.ndr.de/fernsehen/sendungen/s-h_magazin/zeitreise/kosovo197.html

Die Frage ist warum Deutschland wieder die Serben angriffen?

Welche Interessen hatte Amerika an diesem Krieg?

Und wie geht die Politik von Deutschland gegen die serben weiter?

Rudolf Scharping und Joschka fischer zwei Brüder die sich fest entschlossen hatten nach 40Jahren dieserben zu Begrüssen aber mit Bomben.

Fischer äusserte sich ein paar mal beim Besuch dass es nicht wieder passieren darf mit den Konzentrationslagern .Genau richtig was sollen die Konzentrationslager?

Es ist besser wenn man mit Flugangriffen reagieren kann und unschuldige Zivile Serben töten konnte.

Amerika hatte bei diesem Krieg nur unter einer Bedienung mitgemacht!mit der Bitte dass Sie sich noch weiter in den Balkan begeben konnten und somit ganz russland einkreisen konnten.

Klinton hatte keine Interessen was im Kosovo passierte. Seine Interresse war “Amerikanische Basis im Kosovo”die grösste Militärbasis der Welt.

Und wieder ist es Deutschland gelungen Serbischen Boden zu zerstampfen,und wieder zahlten die Serben Ihre freiheit mit Blut.

In Deutschland wo 70% Rasismus herrscht konnte Punkte bei Europa sammeln.Frankreich steht auf diesem Weg mit der Starken Macht und liebt nicht gerade die Lügen der Deutschen Politik.

Zasto je Njemacka napala opet Srbe?Koje interese ima Amerika od toga rata?Kakva je dalja politika Njemacke prema Srbima?Dali sa lazima dobijamo rat i koje su posledice njega?

Rudolf Sarping i Joska Fiser dva brata imaju odgovore na ta pitanja i zelja im je bila nakon toliko godina da se obrate Srbima za poklone doneli su nam Bombe.Joska Fiser izjavljuje u par navrata da se na Balkanu nesme desiti Ausvic jer tamo su stradali?a ja Srbi ali to nije ni bitno.Fiser kaze mi cemo Srbe Bonbardovati samo zato sto su Srbi.Uz taj plan imao je svoga Rudolfa i mocnu Ameriku koja je imala samo jednu zelju,napraviti vojnu bazu na kosovu sa ciljem da opkoli Rusiju sa svih strana.Ma kome je to jos stalo do ljudski prava i ko je to krsio na kome podrucju,apsurd,smesna politika Njemacke odlazi na zapad i uspevaju u Lazima protiv Srba gde Njemacka postaje sila u Evropi.To bi zelela i da ostane ali Amerika ne voli licemerne i lazove pa je za svoga partnera uzela Tursku.Njemacka ima jos jednog prijatelja koji joj neda da siri svoja krila nad Evropom a to je Francuska jedna od naj mocniji zemalja u Evropi pa i Svetu,e ona smeta mozda bi Dotsche Reich i uspeo ali imaju oni i izmedju sebe ljudi zdravoga razuma koji zele da zive ko svi Evropljani ne imajuci zelju da sve bude Velika Njemacka.Americka Baza na kosovu moze da primi preko 60 hiljda vojnika i naj veca je od vojnih Americki baza u Svetu.

My Fox Tampa Bay: Man charged with Tampa car bomb plot

Kosovar immigrant planned Ybor, South Tampa blasts

Updated: Monday, 09 Jan 2012, 6:20 PM EST

Published : Monday, 09 Jan 2012, 11:33 AM EST

A MyFoxTampaBay.com staff report

TAMPA – A chilling terrorist plot ended with the weekend arrest of a 25-year-old immigrant from Kosovo, FBI agents say. Sami Osmakac allegedly told undercover investigators that he wanted to “die the Islamic way” after attacking locations in Ybor City and South Tampa.

According to the FBI, Osmakac is a naturalized U.S. citizen who now lives in Pinellas Park. Agents were tipped off to the possible plot in September.

The five-month investigation culminated with a sting operation on Saturday. Osmakac was arrested after he allegedly took possession of explosives and firearms that had been rendered inoperable by law enforcement.

Among Osmakac’s alleged bomb targets were nightclubs in the Ybor City area of Tampa, the operations center of the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office in Ybor City, and a business in the South Tampa area.

As part of the second portion of his planned attack, Osmakac allegedly told the undercover FBI employee that, after the car bomb was detonated, he wanted to wear an explosive belt and “get in somewhere where there’s a lot of people” and take hostages.

“Once I have this…they can take me in five million pieces,” he allegedly added, in an apparent reference to a suicide blast.

Osmakac’s family, however, denied the allegations. His father, who owns the Balkan Food Store & Bakery in St. Petersburg, told FOX 13 his son had become more religious recently, but insisted he had no weapons.

He did confirm that federal agents had searched his home over the weekend.

According to the FBI, the plot unfolded through several meetings with undercover sources and agents:

• September: FBI agents receive information from a confidential human source indicating that Osmakac had asked for al-Qaeda flags.
• November: Osmakac and the FBI source discuss and identify potential targets in Tampa. Osmakac allegedly asks the source for help in obtaining firearms and explosives for the attacks.
• December 21: Osmakac tells an undercover FBI employee that he wants an AK-47-style machine gun, Uzi submachine guns, high capacity magazines, grenades, and an explosive belt. Allegedly, he later makes a $500 down payment.
• January 1: Osmakac allegedly outlines his attack. He wants to get a hotel room; park a vehicle with a bomb in it at his target, leave the area, detonate the car bomb, and then retrieve weapons and explosives from the hotel room.

It was during that New Year’s Day meeting when the undercover FBI employee noted that Osmakac could change his mind and back out of the plot. According to investigators, Osmakac immediately shook his head and said, “We all have to die, so why not die the Islamic way?”

Saturday, FBI agents arrested Osmakac after he took possession of the explosive devices and firearms, which had been neutralized without his knowledge.

Investigators also say Osmakac made a video of himself explaining his motives for carrying out the planned attack.  They did not divulge details about the message, but other videos posted online show a man who appears to be Osmakac railing against infidels and even assaulting members of the outspoken Westboro Baptist Church.

Osmakac faces one charge of attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction. He made his first appearance in federal court Monday afternoon.

Patriarchal Nativity Encyclical 2011

5. January 2012 – 12:46

The Serbian Orthodox Church
to her spiritual children at Christmas, 2011

+IRINEJ

By the Grace of God
Orthodox Archbishop of Pec, Metropolitan of Belgrade Karlovci and Serbian Patriarch, with all the Hierarchs of the Serbian Orthodox Church to all the clergy, monastics, and all the sons and daughters of our Holy Church: grace, mercy and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, with the joyous Christmas greeting:

Peace from God! Christ is Born!

“But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son…”

Gal. 4:4

With the genealogy of Jesus Christ, “the Son of David, the Son of Abraham” (Matthew 1:1), dear brothers and sisters, begins the Gospel of Christ, God’s blessed and joyous news to mankind.

On this day of the joyous Feast of the Nativity of Christ all Christian hearts throughout the world are filled with the song of the angels of God, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men”. (Luke 2:14) This Day is a great joy for the entire world “for there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord”. (Luke 2:11)

The birth of the Son of God is a great mystery of God’s love. One is never closer to another than today, on Christmas day. Adults and children are never closer to each other than on this day. A person never feels a greater need to reconcile and become closer to others than on this day. From this comes the need and custom of our people to forgive and exchange “God’s-peace” on this day, to forget personal quarrels with a wish that all those around us may come together in brotherly unity and in the spirit of love and God’s peace.

The angelic song in honor of Christ’s birth is a truth-filled song which fully tells the essence of His message, the content of His Gospel and the mission of the Holy Church which He, the Incarnate Son of God, has established. The glorification of God, peace and good will among men represent the most holy triptych of the Christmas message. In glorifying God, man lifts up and glorifies himself at the same time. By preaching God’s peace, Christ’s peace, peace without fear and violence, man contributes to the building up of God’s Kingdom here on earth. It is only with good will, in the unselfish giving of oneself to God and to those around us, that it is possible to attain true human solidarity and true unity in solving all problems and in achieving moral and material progress.

With His coming, Christ witnesses an essential Union, a new union of heaven and earth, of Creator and creation, and with His mouth He reveals a great Mystery which God incorporated into man as a pledge from the moment of his creation, and this mystery comes down to one truth: that man is the most important creation under the sun. Of course, man is the most important, precisely because God in Christ became Man. According to Saint Irenaeus of Lyon, man is called to be the reflection, the glory, the light of God on earth. We can understand this only if we take the God-Man, the Lord Christ, as the proper and true measure of all beings and all events on our planet.

Each day, we meet temptations, misfortunes and suffering, caused by others or by ourselves. Afflictions in our homes, suffering in schools, cities and villages, suffering in different countries and between nations, attest to a deep division in the world, a division which cannot be overcome with human efforts. These divisions have such a deep effect that even our God-reflecting personhood is split into soul and body, conscious and unconscious, and on and on.

Oftentimes it seems that chaos is the originator and basis of our society. However, chaos is actually present only where a consciousness about the true measure of everything and everybody is lost, and that measure is love. Actually, Christ attests with His coming to this world that love has conquered the world of evil and hate, and that love always conquers it. Love is from God. God is the source of all-encompassing love. “He who does not love does not know God, for God is love”. (1 John 4:8)

Born in a manger in Bethlehem, Christ has stopped time in His Person and around Himself, or more exactly: in Himself He has gathered all those who long for love and eternity. Manifesting Himself in the world, He is the only One who brings true and eternal joy.

Christ’s birth has brought peace into the world and has connected time with eternity. Peace and eternity will never again leave the world, regardless of all temptations and tribulations that might come along. As a bearer of His peace and eternity Christ has established His Church. The Church is the Pillar and a Bulwark of truth, a ship by which we safely sail into the peaceful harbor of our salvation.

Through the Church God heals every sickness and every human infirmity. In the Church harmony is established between heaven and earth, between the created and the uncreated, between the eternal and the temporal, between the spirit and the body. The healing which the Lord grants in the Church is not understandable if it is not comprehended and experienced as God’s love which is manifested in Christ Born, Crucified, Resurrected and Glorified for us and for our salvation. The Lord loves everyone and desires that all should be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. He calls us to participate in the work of our salvation by coming to know Him in the Church, that is, by being gathered and united in the Church and as the Church, by living in her and by her. The measure of spiritual life on earth is the Church because she is the body of Christ. Through her the Lord heals us, for He wishes that all will become participants in eternal life and eternal love.

We call all our spiritual children throughout the world to never forget that the Lord entrusted salvation to the Church, and that in her is given the only true way and direction by which we should go. The measure of spiritual life is not given to individuals, but rather it is given by the Holy Spirit to the Church as a whole, so that all may grow into perfection in harmony and peace.

The Eternal God on that long-ago, first historic Christmas, was born as a poor Child so that we might be enriched by Him, by His divine perfection as by eternal wealth. With this He teaches us and all human generations not to separate ourselves from each other, but to bear each other’s burdens, to love each other, to help the weak and the poor, to share as brothers and sisters the blessings which God has bestowed upon us, and so fulfill the Law of Christ and in a Christian way fulfill our human calling.

Every separation, dissension, animosity and tearing down of unity is in opposition to the Holy Spirit and to the spirit of the Church, or we cannot at the same time “drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons,” and we cannot “partake of the Lord’s table and of the table of demons”. ( I Cor. 10:21)

Christmas is the Feast Day when we feel the fullness of goodness and the mercy of God, shown towards mankind by God sending His Only-Begotten Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. God’s love, manifested mysteriously in Bethlehem’s cave, touches all of us on this great Day.

The celebration of Christmas is not simply a custom, a tradition, a habit, or a day of receiving and giving gifts. Christmas is the gift above all gifts, the day in which is revealed the only new thing under the sun, the day in which eternal divine youth flows into the very being of heaven and earth and into our limited, transient human nature and brings eternal youth to all.

Unfortunately, brothers and sisters, we must admit that our spiritual peace has been disquieted, and as a result our joy is not complete. It is overshadowed with fear and worry about everyday events in the world, and especially because of the tragic events in our crucified Kosovo and Metohija. These events cloud the harmonious singing of angelic song and they threaten to change peace and patience into unrest and intolerance.

We counsel our dear faithful flock, the Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija, to be persistent and to stay in their homesteads, with their Church and their holy shrines, in the land of their ancestors. The Church, as a caring Mother, is always with them and always will be with them. Without suffering there is no resurrection. May our Lord be our measure even in our suffering!

We appeal to you, dear brothers and sisters, to safeguard the sanctity of marriage, to care for and look after your children, especially to care for their religious and moral upbringing and their education. Religious classes in our public school system are a great help, but they are not the only way of educating our youth and by themselves they are not enough. This is why parents and a warm family home are a holy community and a place of growth into the stature of Christ, growth into the fullness of the Divine-Child’s love. Faith and love are taught in parents’ homes first, in the family environment. They are taught imperceptibly, just as the mother tongue is learned. God gave parents an exalted role that through the birth and raising of children they may ennoble the world and so make it better and more beautiful.

Unfortunately, many marriages are still entered into without the blessing of the Church, and there are also divorces, which are a true calamity for our Church and for our nation. Marriage is a vow before God, and it is a Holy Mystery of our Church. Man has no right to separate that which God has brought together, says Christ the Lord (Matthew 19:6).

Christ’s Birth has shown upon the world the light of knowledge and of divine knowledge. With His entry into the world a new beginning of time has dawned, the end of the pagan era and the beginning of the era of the knowledge of Christ through the Church which He founded with His precious blood.

This Day is celebrated by experiencing everything that is most beautiful and most exalted. This Day reminds man of his dual origin, heavenly and earthly. It teaches man his duties toward both his heavenly and earthly family. This Day reminds us that it is necessary to give back to our Heavenly Father and to our heavenly family in order to achieve blessings and happiness in our earthly family.

Open your hearts, you, our dear spiritual children, who are gone to far away countries, and celebrate with joy the Divine Infant, for the earth is the Lord’s everywhere, and God is everywhere and in every place. In the Church of Christ, in this holy Divine-Human community, we celebrate together with you all these joy-filled Christmas Holy Days, and we are not far away from each other.

Let us lift up our hearts, all without exception, dear brothers and sisters! This is the day which the Lord has given us that we too may be spiritually born and reborn through Christ the Lord. May the Light of the Holy Spirit, of the Spirit of the Divine Child Christ, the Spirit of God, shine in our souls and our homes!

To live a spiritual life means to work out our salvation, to be healed, to run away from sin and to seek after love. A love which is of this world does not lead anywhere but to death; only the love of the Divine-Child Christ brings life and leads to life eternal. That is why we need to love all those around us and to witness our Hope to all, as the Holy Apostle Peter says (I Peter 1:3; 3:15). Without love everything in this world of ours is condemned to sorrow, and without the Love of God Incarnate, Who is the New-Born Christ, everything is condemned to nothingness.

Worshiping the Young Child, the Eternal God, in this and all the days of our life, let us, dear brothers and sisters, forgive each other and with brotherly and sisterly love greet each other with the holy greeting:

PEACE FROM GOD – CHRIST IS BORN!
INDEED HE IS BORN!
A BLESSED AND HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012!

Божићна посланица Српске Православне Цркве

5. Јануар 2012 – 12:43

СРПСКА ПРАВОСЛАВНА ЦРКВА СВОЈОЈ ДУХОВНОЈ ДЕЦИ
О БОЖИЋУ 2011. ГОДИНЕ

И Р И Н Е Ј
МИЛОШЋУ БОЖЈОМ ПРАВОСЛАВНИ АРХИЕПИСКОП ПЕЋКИ, МИТРОПОЛИТ БЕОГРАДСКО-КАРЛОВАЧКИ И ПАТРИЈАРХ СРПСКИ, СА СВИМА АРХИЈЕРЕЈИМА СРПСКЕ ПРАВОСЛАВНЕ ЦРКВЕ – СВЕШТЕНСТВУ МОНАШТВУ И СВИМА СИНОВИМА И КЋЕРИМА НАШЕ СВЕТЕ ЦРКВЕ: БЛАГОДАТ, МИЛОСТ И МИР ОД БОГА ОЦА, И ГОСПОДА НАШЕГ ИСУСА ХРИСТА, И ДУХА СВЕТОГА, УЗ РАДОСНИ БОЖИЋНИ ПОЗДРАВ:

МИР БОЖЈИ – ХРИСТОС СЕ РОДИ!

A када дође пуноћа времена, посла Бог Сина својега…
(Гал 4, 4).

Родословом Исуса Христа, „сина Давидова, Авраамова сина” (Мт 1, 1), почиње, драга браћо и сестре, Јеванђеље о Христу, Блага и радосна вест Божја роду људском.

Песмом анђела Божјих – „Слава на висини Богу, и на земљи мир, међу људима добра воља” (Лк 2, 14) – на данашњи дан радосног празника Рођења Христовог испуњена су широм света сва хришћанска срца. Овај Дан je за цео свет велика радост „јер вам се данас роди Спас, који je Христос Господ, у граду Давидову” (Лк 2, 11).

Рођење Сина Божјег јесте велика тајна љубави Божје. Никада човек није тако близак човеку као данас, на Божић. Никада одрасли и деца нису толико блиски једни другима као данас. Никада човек не осећа тако снажно потребу да се мири и зближава са другим људима као данас. Отуда је у нашем народу потреба и обичај да се на данашњи дан прашта и „мирбожи”, да се заборављају личне размирице, са жељом да се све око нас зближи и збратими у духу љубави и мира Божјег.

Анђелска песма у част Рођења Христовог јесте истинска песма која нам језгровито исказује суштину Христове поруке, садржај Његовог Јеванђеља и мисију свете Цркве, коју је Он, Оваплоћени Син Божји, основао. Слављење Бога, мир и добра воља међу људима представљају најсветији триптих божићне поруке. Славећи Бога, човек уједно уздиже и прославља себе. Проповедајући мир Божји, – мир Христов, мир без страха и насиља, – човек доприноси изградњи Царства Божјег на земљи. Једино добром вољом, у несебичном давању себе Богу и ближњима, може се постићи истинска људска солидарност и право заједништво у решавању свих проблема и остварити морални и материјални напредак.

Својим доласком Христос сведочи о суштинској Заједници, новој заједници неба и земље, Творца и творевине, и Својим устима открива велику Тајну коју је Бог као залог унео у човека од самога његова стварања, а она се своди на истину да најважније створење под сунцем јесте управо човек. Наравно, човек је најважнији зато што је Бог у Христу постао човек. По речима Светог Иринеја Лионског, човек је позван да буде одсјај, слава, светлост Божја на земљи. То можемо схватити једино уколико Богочовека Господа Христа узмемо за право и истинско мерило свих бића и свих збивања на нашој планети.

Свакодневно се сусрећемо са искушењима, недаћама и патњама, изазваним од стране других или од нас самих. Патње у нашим домовима, патње у школама, патње у градовима и селима, патње у државама и међу народима сведоче о дубокој подељености у свету, подељености која се не може превазићи људским напорима. При том поделе иду тако дубоко да се и сама наша боголика личност дели – на душу и тело, на свесно и несвесно, и тако у недоглед.

Често се учини да је неред покретач и носилац нашег друштва. Неред је, међутим, присутан само онде где је изгубљена свест о истинској мери свега и свих, а то је љубав. Управо Христос сведочи, Својим доласком у овај свет, да је љубав победила свет зла и мржње и да га увек побеђуј e. Љубав је од Бога. Бог је извор свеколике љубави. „Који не љуби, не познаде Бога; јер Бог је љубав” (1. Јн 4, 8).

Рођен у јаслама у Витлејему, Христос је зауставио време у Својој Личности и око Себе – још тачније: у Себи – сабрао све оне који су жељни љубави и вечности. Јавивши се у свету, Он нам једини доноси истинску и непролазну радост.

Рођење Христово је унело мир Божји у свет, а време повезало са вечношћу. Мир и вечност неће више никада напустити свет, без обзира на сва искушења и недаће које га могу задесити. Као носиоца Свога мира и вечности Христос је установио Цркву Своју. Она је Стуб и Тврђава истине, брод којим сигурно пловимо у тихо пристаниште нашега спасења.

Господ кроз Цркву исцељује сваку болест и сваку немоћ људску. У њој се васпоставља склад између неба и земље, између створеног и нествореног, између вечног и временог, између духа и тела. Исцељење које Господ у Цркви даје није разумљиво уколико се не схвати и не доживи као љубав Божја која се пројавила у Христу, Рођеном, Распетом, Васкрслом и Прослављеном нас ради и нашега спасења ради. Господ љуби свакога човека и жели да се сви људи спасу и дођу у познање истине. Он и нас позива да учествујемо у делу нашега спасења тако што ћемо Њега познати у Цркви, то јест бити сабрани и уједињени у Цркви и као Црква, живети у њој и њоме. Мерило духовног живота на земљи јесте Црква јер је она Тело Христово. Кроз њу нас Господ исцељује јер жели да сви буду причасници вечнога живота и вечне љубави.

Позивамо и сву нашу духовну децу широм света да никада не забораве да је Господ Цркви поверио спасење и да је у њој дат једини истинити пут и правац којим треба да идемо. Мерило духовног живота није дато појединцима већ се Духом Светим дај e Цркви у целини, тако да се све складно и у миру Божјем усавршава.

Превечни Бог се на онај давни, први историјски Божић родио као пуки сиромашак да би нас обогатио Собом, Својим божанским савршенством као вечним богатством. Тиме Он и нас и сва људска покољења учи да се не одвајамо једни од других него да једни другима бремена носимо, да љубимо једни друге, да помажемо слабе и сиромашне, да братски делимо добра којима нас je Бог обдарио и да тако испунимо Закон Христов и на хришћански начин остваримо cвoje људско призвaњe.

Cвaкa деоба, раздор, нeприjaтeљcтвo и разарање заједништва супротни су Духу Божјем и духу Црквe. Jep, не можемо иcтoврeмeнo „пити чашу Господњу и чашу демонску”, не можемо „учествовати у трпези Господњој и у трпези демонској” (1. Kop 10, 21).

Божић је Празник кад осећамо пуноћу доброте и милости Божјe, показане према роду људском тиме што је Бог послао у свет Сина Cвoга Јединороднога, Господа нашега Исуса Христа. Божанска љyбaв, која се чудесно показала у витлејемској пећини, прожима и све нас на oвaj вeлики Дан.

Прaзнoвaњe Божића није просто обичај, традиција, нaвикa, дан примања и дaвaњa дaрoвa. Божић je дар над дaрoвимa, дан у којем ce открило оно што je jeдинo ново под cyнцeм, дан у којем ce вeчнa божанска младост улила у биће нeбa и зeмљe и у oгрaничeнy, пролазну људску природу и cвe подмладила вeчном младошћу.

Нажалост, браћо и cecтpe, морамо признати да je наш духoвни мир прилично помућен, тe ни радост наша ниje потпуна. Она je oceнчeнa страхом и бригом због cвaкoднeвниx збивања у cвeтy, a пoceбнo због трагичних збивaњa на нaшeм распетом Kocoвy и Meтoxиjи. Ta збивања мyтe складни пој aнђeлcкe пеcмe и прeтe да мир и cтрпљeњe прeтвoрe у нecпoкojcтвo и нетрпeљивocт.

Нашим драгим верницимa, Србима на Kocoвy и Метохији, прeпoрyчyjeмo да буду истрајни и да остану на својим огњиштима, уз cвojy Цркву и уз cвoje cвeтињe, на зeмљи cвojиx дeдoвa и прaдeдoвa. Црквa, као брижна Мати, yвeк je са њима и yвeк ћe бити са њима. Бeз страдања нeмa ни вacкрceњa. Господ тека нам cвимa бyдe мерило и у страдањима!

Молимо вac, браћо и cecтpe, да светињу брака oчyвaтe, да ce бринeтe и cтapaтe о cвojoj дeци, a нарочито о њиxoвoм верском и моралном вacпитaњy и oбрaзoвaњy. Beрoнayкa у oбрaзoвнoм cиcтeмy у нашим школама јесте вeликa помоћ, али ниje jeдинa и ниje дoвoљнa; зато су рoдитeљи и топли породични дом cвeтa зajeдницa и мecтo узрастања у меру раста виcинe Хриcтoвe, у пуноћу љyбaви Бoгoмлaдeнцa. Jep, вepa и морал ce yчe нajпрe у рoдитeљcкoм дому, у породици. Учe ce нeoceтнo, исто онако како ce учи и мaтeрњи jeзик.

Бог je рoдитeљимa дао yзвишeнy улогу да кроз рађање и васпитавање дeцe oплeмeњyjy cвeт и да га чине бољим и лeпшим.

Нажалост, још je yвeк много брaкoвa cклoпљeниx бeз благocлoвa cвeтe Црквe, a и рaзвeдeниx брaкoвa, који су прaвa несрећа и за нашу Цркву и за наш народ. Брак је завет пред Богом и у исто време црквена Света Тајна. Човек нема право да раставља оно што је Бог саставио, каже Христос Господ (Мт 19, 6).

Христово Рођење је обасјало свет светлошћу знања и богопознања. Његовим уласком у свет настаје почетак новог доба, крај незнабожачке ере и почетак ере христопознања, кроз Цркву коју је Он основао Својом часном крвљу.
Овај Дан се прославља доживљавањем свега што је најлепше и најузвишеније. Он човека подсећа на његово двоструко порекло – небеско и земаљско. Он учи човека дужностима и према небеској и према земаљској породици. Овај Дан нас опомиње да је потребно претходно се одужити Оцу небеском и нашој небеској породици да бисмо могли стећи благослов и срећу у земаљској породици.

Отворите срца и ви, децо наша духовна, који сте отишли у даљину и туђину и прославите у радости Богомладенца, јер је свуда земља Господња, а Бог је свуда и на свакоме месту. У Цркви Христовој, у овој светој богочовечанској заједници, славимо, са свима вама заједно, радосне божићне празнике и нисмо далеко једни од других.

Подигнимо горе срца, сви без разлике, драга браћо и сестре! Ово је Дан који је дао Бог да се и ми духовно рађамо и препорађамо кроз Христа Господа. Нека светлост Духа Светога, Духа Христа Богомладенца, Духа Божјег, засија у душама нашим и у домовима нашим!

Живети духовним животом значи спасавати се, исцељивати се, бежати од греха и трагати за љубављу. Љубав која је од овога света не води нас никуда до у смрт; једино нас љубав Богомладенца Христа оживљава и води у живот вечни. Зато треба да љубимо све око себе и свима да сведочимо Наду нашу, како каже Свети Апостол Петар (1. Пет 1, 3 и 3, 15). Без љубави, у овом нашем свету све је осуђено на тугу, а без Оваплоћене Љубави Божје, Која је Христос Новорођени, све је осуђено на ништавило.

Клањајући се Детету младом, Превечном Богу, ових и свих других дана нашега живота, опростимо, браћо и сестре, једни другима и са братском, односно сестринском љубављу поздрављајмо једни друге светим поздравом:

Мир Божји, Христос ce роди!
Ваистину ce роди!
Благословена нова 2012. година!

Дано у Патријаршији српској у Београду, о Божићу 2011. године

Ponovo saljem apel za pomoc nasim ljudima na Kosovu.

———- Forwarded message ———-

Молимо за помоћ браћо Срби / Appeal for your help

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

In our first round of fundraising to help Serbs in Kosovo this October, we’ve raised $800, from about 20 donors. These funds are now utilized to help Serbian families in Northern Kosovo.

This is a plea to all of you to take a moment and help the second round of our fundraising effort. You may note which beneficiary you would specifically like to support or you may leave it for the funds to be equally divided to help the following:

• Village of Miloševo near Obilić (located 7miles from Priština). Miloševo is an enclave of 30 residents and few homes, inhabited largely by children and elders. The funds raised will be used to purchase food (flour, salt, oil, rice), school supplies, firewood, and medicine.
• Schools and children of Northern Kosovo whose families continue to fearlessly defend Serbian homes, as well as freedom and history of all Serbs. The raised funds will be used for food, school supplies, and firewood.
• Purchase modest Christmas gifts for Serbian children in Kosovo, consisting of essential school supplies.

All raised funds are sent via verified and trusted channels. The reports, receipts, and photo documentation of purchases made with these funds will be provided back to our church.

To those who have already given, thank you for your generosity!

Please be generous and please do not delay. You help is needed now.

While we wait others act. Note that all donations are tax-deductible.

Checks should be directed to our Church at: St. Archangel Michael Orthodox Church 18870 Allendale Avenue, Saratoga, CA 95070, with memo “Kosovo”.

Credit card and donations through your bank account can be made as follows:

• Go to our church website www.samichael.org,
• Click on the “Donate” button (in the top right corner of www.samichael.org),
• Enter the amount you wish to donate (it will say “ref: building fund” but you can later note that your donation is for “Kosovo”),
• Click on “Update amount”,
• Enter your Paypal login and password (setting up a Paypal account is quick and free),

Take a moment and watch our Christmas video message, from myself, my family, supporters, and friends across this great nation of ours. As we experience the joys of Christmas this year, let us not forget the birth of Christ and what it means to mankind. I urge you to seek out and offer help and kindness to family, friends and those around us who are less fortunate, perhaps hungry and struggling through these harsh economic times. And a special prayer goes out to our brave soldiers, some far away from home this holiday season, and our hopes they return safely to their families. It is their sacrifice which has ensured all Americans the gift of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; and we could not be more in debt, nor appreciative of their service. This is our family’s favorite time of year and we wish you and your loved ones all the best in this lovely, forgiving and peaceful season. Have a great holiday and fantastic New Year. Sincerely, Herman Cain

Dear Editor:

In your article EU, NATO condemn attacks by Serbian Militants against alliance peacekeepers in Kosovo… let me get this straight.  NATO bombed the Serbs for 78 days, did $60 billion in infrastructure damage that destroyed 200 Serbian schools, 60 bridges, 11 hospitals, 9 nursing homes, 11 Serbian Christian churches, 9,000 Serbian homes, 60 major manufacturing companies and over 65 agricultural sites that put 60% of Serbia’s population out of work.

Since the arrival of NATO troops in Kosovo a decade ago the Serbs have lost 513 ancient Serbian Christian Churches to Albanian terrorists as 17,000 NATO troops proved inadequate for any protection. NATO’s bombing violated the UN Charter, The Helsinki Final Act, the Geneva Conventions in addition to violation of NATO’s own “defensive” treaty.

NATO’s hypocrisy deserves the highest condemnation as they use their military power against the Serbs who did not attack or invade any NATO country.  What can we expect next from the military morons at NATO? And when can the Serbian people expect the repair of the damage done to their country, their economy and the return of 1.4 million Serbian refugees to their homes and property in Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo who have been denied their legal and human rights.

BNI has posted many stories that show the United States and Nato forces fought on the wrong side of that war. Here is an essay, never before published, about the tragedy of that decision with its unforgivable betrayal of a long-time ally, the Serbs, in favor of the Muslim invaders who were doing what they do all over the world, replacing the indigenous population with an Islamic republic, all the while crying that they were the victims of ethnic cleansing.

Subject: Congressman Eliot Engel – “USA for Kosova Exhibition”

Good morning, John, by now you may have received several angry responses to the Congressman’s support for the KosovA Exhibition. As you know, there are always two sides to a story. Unfortunately, the side of the Serbians was totally ignored and thus the frustration and the anger. This email will be followed by photos of the KLA whom the Congressman supports. Will the KosovA exhibition also show the KLA holding the heads of Serbs?

I just send my fax to the Congressman. Please see that he gets it.

I would appreciate acknowledgement of my email to you.

Thank you,
Stella Jatras

NO. OF PAGES: 5

Please grant me the courtesy of reading my letter regarding the “USA for Kosova” Exhibition.

Congressman Engel, during one of your trips to Pristina, you spoke to the Kosovo Albanians stating that you wanted to be the first U.S. Ambassador to an “Independent Kosovo,” in essence fomenting anarchy. At one time, there were 80,000 Serbs living in Pristina. Today, there are fewer than 150 elderly living in ghettos in fear for their lives from Albanian mobs.

If you are aware of the fact that Kosovo is Serbia’s Jerusalem, the cradle of the Serbian Orthodox Christian Church, it was not evident since you proceeded to support the Kosovo Liberation Army, an army that was described a terrorist one by Bosnian Envoy Robert Gelbard when he said, “I know a terrorist when I see one, and these men are terrorists.” Does this mean nothing to you? Furthermore, these jihadists whom you support are engaged in sex slavery, prostitution, kidnapping and drugs. Over 80% of drugs going into Europe now come from Kosovo, your friends. All of this information is available to you.

Since KFOR entered Kosovo, over 200,000 Serbs have had to flee while the remaining live in terror. Over 200 Serbian Orthodox churches have been destroyed. Why have you not spoken out at this outrage, Congressman? Is it because these are Christian Orthodox churches that have been destroyed?

Just as you were instrumental in wresting Serbia’s Jerusalem from the Serbian people, will you now be equally magnanimous and have Israel cede Jerusalem to the Palestinians? Did I hear a “NO” Congressman? Why is your Jerusalem any more precious than Serbia’s Jerusalem?　

The latest news is that the Jewish cemetery in Kosovo capital desecrated: ‘Jews out’ spray-painted on memorial for Jewish families who perished during World War II. (AP, via Israel News, Dec. 1) I’m sure this is not what you intended. See: http://www.juliagorin.com/wordpress/?p=2755

To their credit, Israel supported the Serbs in the 1990s war. See: http://www.croatianhistory.net/etf/isr2.html

Included is a picture of the KLA butchers holding the heads of Serbs. These are the butchers you support, Congressman. Furthermore, the Prime Minister of Kosovo Hashim Thaci, has been implicated in harvesting body parts of young Serbian soldiers..

Ask yourself the following question, Mr. Congressman: ‘If the Serbian population in Kosovo, once the majority in their Jerusalem, is now 10 percent, and the Kosovo Albanians is 90%, who has been ethnically cleansed?” Consider the fact that Albanians from Albania crossed illegally into Serbia’s Kosovo.

This is what Maj. General Lewis MacKenzie, first UNPROFOR commander to Bosnia wrote about Kosovo entitled, “We bombed the wrong side?”

“The Kosovo-Albanians have played us like a Stradivarius. We have subsidized and indirectly supported their violent campaign for an ethnically pure and independent Kosovo. We have never blamed them for being the perpetrators of the violence in the early ‘90s and we continue to portray them as the designated victim today in spite of the evidence with the help of our tax dollars combined with those of bin laden and al-Qaeda, just consider the message of encouragement this sends to other terrorist-supported independent movements around the world.”

Congressman, we have humiliated, dehumanized and destroyed a people in order to appease the Muslim world, a Christian people who rescued over 500 American pilots who had been shot down over Yugoslavia during World War II What was their reward? Bomb, Bomb, Bomb! Bomb the very people who had rescued our airmen.

According to the Simon Wiesenthal Institute, over a million Serbs, Jews and Gypsies were murdered by Croatia’s Ustashe (Nazis) in World War II. It was so brutal that even the German SS were appalled, yet we sided with Hitler’s Croatian ally against our Serbian ally.

Little Israel is surrounded by hostile Arab states that can lose war after war after war, but if Israel loses only one, she is lost!!! Israel must do what she must in order to preserve herself, but when the Serbian people did what they had to do to preserve their country, we sided with their long-time nemesis, the Muslims of Bosnia and the Muslims of Kosovo.

I ask that you go to: and read my “A War of Images,” that was published in The Jewish World Review.

Congressman, I leave you with quotes by prominent Jewish scholars:

NEW YORK, April 5 1999 (AFP) – Serbian acts in Kosovo do not constitute “genocide”’ despite the horrifying treatment of Kosovar Albanians, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Elie Wiesel said in an editorial in Monday’s edition of Newsweek. “In my view, genocide is the intent and the desire to annihilate a people. This is not the case here,” said Wiesel, who is also a Holocaust survivor. “As early as 1992, media coverage of the war in Bosnia mistakenly compared Serbian “ethnic cleansing” to the Holocaust,” Wiesel said, referring to comparison between the prison camps in Banja Luka to the death camp in Auschwitz. “The Holocaust was conceived to annihilate the last Jew on the planet. Does anyone believe that Milosevic and his accomplices seriously planned to exterminate all the Bosnians, all the Albanians, all the Muslims in the world?” he asked rhetorically.”

“This organized anti-Serb and pro-Muslim propaganda should cause anyone believing in democracy and free speech serious concerns. It recalls Hitler’s propaganda against allies in World War II. Facts are twisted and, when convenient, disregarded.” Yohanan Ramati, Director of the Jerusalem Institute for Western Defense.

“The gigantic campaign to brainwash America by our media against the Serbian people is just incredible, with its daily dose of one-sided information and outright lies…What is today’s reality? The murderers of Jews, Serbs and Gypsies are back (in Croatia) from the U.S., Canada, Argentina where they fled after World War II. The Serbs fought the Nazis, they paid a terrible price for standing at the side of the allies against Hitler. Humanity owes them a debt of gratitude.” John Ranz, Chairman of Survivors of Buchenwald Concentration Camp, USA.

Congressman, I hope you will consider what I have written.

I wish you and your family a Happy Hanukkah, Congressman, and I truly and sincerely mean that to you and your people.

Respectfully submitted,

Stella L. Jatras

Dear John, look at the faces on the Muslims – pure ecstasy (see 2nd photo). They knows that they will never go to The Hague for trial – it’s only for Serbs. Where was the outrage from our Congress?

Question: Did you even know of these atrocities against the Serbs? Stella

“The United States of America and the Kosovo Liberation Army stand for the same human values and the principles…Fighting for the KLA is fighting for human rights and American values.” Senator Joseph Lieberman (Washington Post, Apr. 28, 1999)

Muslim Kosovars Behead Christian Serbs!

Warning: Graphic Images!

Picture 1: This photograph was seized from Saudi Arabian fighters captured in Crni Vrh near Teslic, Bosnia. A Muslim solder displays the severed head of Blagoje Blagojevic, a Serb from the village of Jasenovo near Teslic.

Picture 2: The Albanian in the middle is Sadik Chuflaj, a member of the KLA from the Decani area. The young man to his left is his son Valon Chuflaj, born in April 1981 in the village of Prilep, municipality of Decani. He has an UNMIK identity card and is now a member of the Kosovo Protection Corps with the rank of lieutenant. He works in the inspector’s office in Pec. UNMIK has taken disciplinary measures against him on two occasions. after cross-checking, our reporters were led to the assumption that the visible human head on the right is the head of Bojan Cvetkovic, born in Nis in 1972.

Picture 3: The severed heads of three Serbs (identified as Blagoje Blagojevic, Nenad Petkovic, and Brana Djuric) beheaded by Muslim fighters. This picture was seized from Saudi Arabian solders captured near Teslic in Bosnia.

Celebrating All the Wrong Things

Remember that it was Eliot Engel, who during one of his visits to Pristina, stood on the square and telling the Kosovo Albanian mob that he wanted to be the first U.S. ambassador to return to an independent “Kosova.”

However, for the first ambassador to Kosovo, see:

“USA for Kosova” Exhibition

Dear Colleague,

As co-chairs of the Congressional Albanian Issues Caucus, we would like to cordially invite you to an exhibition on November 30, 2011 from 3:00 P.M. to 5:00 P.M. in the Rayburn Foyer featuring a special collection of materials that underscores the strong relationship between the United States and the Republic of Kosova.

The “USA for Kosova” exhibition will feature materials from the permanent collection of the Kosova Museum, which highlight the recent history of Kosova, the Albanian-American community in the United States, and the strong diplomatic relations between Kosova and the United States. In addition to the exhibits put on display, there will also be remarks by Kosova’s Deputy Prime Minister Behxhet Pacolli and Ambassador Avni Spahiu.

As Kosova closes in on the fourth anniversary of its Declaration of Independence, we can think of no better way to honor such an historic achievement than by inviting you to the “USA for Kosova” exhibition. Today, Kosova is a growing, multi-ethnic democracy which serves as a shining example of success of American foreign policy in the Balkans. We are very encouraged by the progress Kosova has made in recent years, and we hope that this exhibition serves as a reminder of the unshakeable bond between the United States and Kosova.

If you have any questions regarding the exhibition, please contact John Moore (x52464) or Jason Steinbaum (x50385) in Rep. Eliot Engel’s office or Dee Weghorst (x53164) in Rep. Jean Schmidt’s office.

Sincerely,

In the three years since Kosovo, urged on by the United States, declared its unilateral independence, there has been no final resolution of this long-festering wound in the heart of the Balkans.

After the expulsion of the Serbian military from Kosovo in 1999 there was a systematic purging of the non-Albanian population and a rampage of revenge killing, and destruction.

In March, 2004, the Albanian mobs burned or dynamited more than 204 Christian churches and monasteries – some of them heritage structures dating back to the 14th century. This veritable orgy of devastation was accomplished under the watchful eyes of NATO troops who did nothing to stop the violence.

On Sept. 15, the Secretary General of NATO, Anders Fogh Rasmussen visited Pristina, the capitol of Kosovo, and again repeated the usual refrain that NATO was there to maintain a secure and safe environment and emphasized that “We will continue to do so – firmly, carefully, and impartially.”

Less than two weeks after his departure from Kosovo on Sept. 27, his impartial NATO troops opened fire with live ammunition on a crowd of Serbian civilians demonstrating against the establishment of Kosovo customs posts along the border between Serbia and northern Kosovo, effectively cutting them off from Serbia proper. At least six of the demonstrators were wounded. The standoff continued over the weekend. [emphasis added]

This incident took place at the same time our NATO leaders were vigorously protesting the shooting of protesters in Syria and Yemen.

So far, there have been no apologies from the NATO leadership and no demands for a full inquiry.

Kosovo, since its so-called liberation from Serbia, has become a failed state with massive unemployment, crime and corruption prevalent, and a leadership deeply involved in the importation of heroin and arms, and human smuggling – not to mention serious allegations about the harvesting of human body parts.

Nevertheless, Kosovo is the stepchild state of the U.S.-led NATO powers, and therefore must be seen to be a success. NATO cannot admit to failure.

After all, we are told 80 countries have recognized its independence. Little mention is made that there are 113 countries of the United Nations who refuse do so – including Greece, Cyprus, Spain and Slovakia – all members of NATO.

There is a larger than life statue of president Bill Clinton in Pristina. Shortly after the occupation of Kosovo the Americans constructed the enormous Camp Bonsteel. Kosovo is their baby and at all cost it must be accepted as a sovereign state. Unfortunately, the costs are high and may well spell the demise of NATO as a respected champion of the rule of law and democratic freedom.

Canada was involved in drafting Article 1 of the North Atlantic Treaty that stated that NATO would never use or threaten to use force in the resolution of international disputes and would always act in accordance with the principles laid down by the United Nations Charter. Alas, we never hear anything more about Article 1.

After the collapse of the Soviet empire, Article 1 came to be seen by the United States as an obstacle in preventing NATO (read the United States) from intervening in out-ofarea disputes and in using force to advance U.S. foreign policy objectives, frequently under the guise of humanitarian intervention.

The first opportunity of doing this was the bombing of Serbia on the false grounds that Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic was planning to ethnically cleanse Kosovo of its majority Albanian population and that genocide was taking place there.

Without consulting the United Nations and in violation of its own treaty, NATO bombed Serbia for 78 days and nights and was successful in tearing away an integral part of that country’s territory.

The United States and some of the NATO countries, including Canada, have gone further by recognizing the declaration of independence of Kosovo, despite UN Resolution 1244 that reaffirmed Serbia’s sovereignty over that province.

By doing so they have opened Pandora’s Box and issued an open invitation to the many groups and tribes around the world aspiring for their own state to do so by simply declaring independence. Can anyone really blame the Palestinians for expecting anything less?

Islamic forces entered Europe from Asia and North Africa in order to enslave, convert, persecute and either completely destroy Christianity or to enforce dhimmitude. Before this process began you had the complete annihilation of Christianity in many parts of North Africa and in various parts of the Middle East it was one long sojourn into dhimmitude, pogroms and massacres.

Christianity survived in some areas, for example in Egypt, however, numbers succumbed after Arab colonial and Islamic discrimination took route. Therefore, a complete Islamic inquisition took root in Arabia (modern day Saudi Arabia) and just like the Sunni Islamic inquisition against Buddhism and Hinduism in Afghanistan, you now have complete Islamization.

Of course the complete annihilation of Buddhism, Christianity, and Hinduism, in both areas didn’t lead to a greater civilization. On the contrary, it led to the dark forces of Islamic Sharia law and the Shia also suffered countless massacres and pogroms. After all, you had a complete Sunni Islamic inquisition in Egypt against the Shia. Also, in modern day Malaysia the Shia Muslim faith is forbidden and converts face systematic persecution.

Turning back to the Balkans the Orthodox Christian Serbs survived because Serbian Orthodox Church leaders remained strong and tenacious. Under the Ottomans each rule was different but overall it was a period of Christian Orthodox boys being taken from their parents and converted to Islam because of the hated devshirme system.

John R. Schindler stated in his book called Unholy Terror that in the Bosnia “The most hated aspect of Ottoman rule in Bosnia, and the one whose memory lingers most sharply even today, was the practice of devshirme, the blood tax imposed on Christians. For three centuries beginning with the conquest of Bosnia, the Ottomans annually levied male children as tribute; every year, up to one-fifth of Christian boys in Bosnia – usually aged fourteen to twenty, but some were younger – were forcibly taken from their families in contingents of a thousand and shipped to the imperial court at Istanbul to become warrior-slaves in the janissaries, the Sultan’s elite guard. They were converted to Islam….” Page 23 – Unholy Terror

Of course the modern version in many universities in the West and in the mass media is to play down the slavery of Orthodox Christians in the Balkans, systematic pogroms and ignore the dark days of the Ottoman Empire – and this also applies to mass abuses of sexual slavery which was sanctioned by Islamic Sharia law.

Not surprisingly the Islamic religion grew in Albania, Bosnia, and Kosovo, and other regions of the Balkans. In the modern period you have the remnants of dhimmitude, systematic pogroms, the devshirme system, and other more recent factors in the twentieth century which led to either the weakening of Orthodox Christianity or turning a once majority region into a small minority.

Therefore, the Ottoman Empire, slavery, dhimmitude, devshirme, pogroms, countless religious wars before the twentieth century and traitors who were the children of slaves all fought against the indigenous Orthodox Christian faith. In the twentieth century Communist forces and Nazism further persecuted and altered the demographics of both Bosnia and Kosovo.

In my article called Bosnia: the myths of peaceful Islam and the hidden Islamic jihad I comment that “World War Two also witnessed the mutual support of the Muslim elites with Nazi Germany and Orthodox Christians faced the brutality of many forces. This notably applies to the Croatian Catholic Ustasha regime which was genocidal towards the Serbian Orthodox Christians and it must be stated that Muslims participated fully within the military wing and police force of this brutal and barbaric regime. At the same time Muslims served under the Nazi regime of Germany and the 13^th Volunteer Mountain Division of the Waffen-SS (Handschar) was famous for killing Orthodox Christians.”

John R. Schindler states that “Despite strong local support, Himmler’s Bosnian division ultimately did little to help the Nazi cause or defend the Bosnian Muslims…….the 13^th Division’s actual combat record was slight, while its depredations against unarmed Serbs were impressive; the Muslim troops spent more time killing and looting than actually fighting…….the 13^th Division ended the war ingloriously, plagued by war crimes and desertion.” Page 36 – Unholy Terror

In recent times you still have no respite because Serbian Orthodox Christians still suffer systematic persecution and abuse. The simple question is do Serbian Orthodox Christians in Kosovo have the right to openly spread their faith throughout Kosovo and to build new Serbian Orthodox Churches throughout Kosovo? The answer is no.

Next, do Serbian Orthodox Christians including small children have the freedom to travel throughout Kosovo without any hindrance and ill-will towards them? The answer is no because in many areas they have to be protected by international forces.

The Kosovo conflict matters not a jot to this reality in modern Europe because the Serbian Orthodox Christians of Kosovo are innocent and their ancestors laid all the foundations of this land. This applies to ancient Christian churches and monasteries.

If Kosovo Albanians claim differently, then are their Muslim places of worship much older than Orthodox Christian churches and monasteries? Also, it was Islam which spread to Kosovo by systematic religious persecution and conquest and not the other way around.

Even if the international community wants to state that Serbia was the aggressor during the last Kosovo conflict this should not be an issue. Or is the new world order based on communities having their land taken away from them because of one brief period of history?

After all, it was the Serbian Orthodox Christians for century after century which suffered massacres, systematic pogroms and the dreaded enslavement of their children under the devshirme system. Not only this, the world also forgets about Muslim SS Units fighting loyally for Nazism in the Balkans and further changing the demographic reality of the Balkans by slaughtering Serbian Orthodox Christians.

However, in 2011 the Serbian Orthodox Christian community is still under siege in Kosovo and we all know that the Islamization of Kosovo is sanctioned by America which even supported Islamic terrorists during the wars in the Balkans.

Indeed, even the organ-tainted leadership of the Kosovo Albanians doesn’t shame the West and instead a more civilized Serbia is still trying to find a solution despite all the hatred towards the people of Serbia.

In modern Europe we are witnessing Islamization by Western powers who clearly hope that the Christian Orthodox Serbs will just leave Kosovo and then their “rubber stamp” will be complete.

Therefore, while history tells us that the Sunni Islamic inquisition eradicated Buddhism and Hinduism in Afghanistan. In our own lifetime, the de-Orthodox Christianization is being done in-front of the entire world without a murmur by churches in the West which have succumbed to liberalism, secularism and political correctness.

Western nations involved in this tragedy have certainly done a great media propaganda campaign because the organ scandal involving the Kosovo Liberation Army, destruction of Orthodox Christian churches, little Christian Orthodox children having no freedom to play openly throughout Kosovo, and so forth, appears to matter not one iota.

Of course, the same Western nations and mass media said little when two million mainly African Animists and African Christians were being slaughtered in Sudan by the Arab Islamic elites in Khartoum during the 1980s and early 1990s.

However, unlike the Serbian Orthodox Christians of Kosovo, black African nations which are mainly Christian in Uganda and Kenya, and others, didn’t stand by and allow Africans to be crushed.

The new Europe and America is tainted by the ongoing reality of Kosovo and not even a simple solution of allowing the remaining Serbs　a free choice is on the table. Therefore, modern day Kosovo is about humiliating Serbia and for the remaining Serbs they either will be forced to accept Albanian Kosovo rule or they will just be marginalized to the point where economic necessity means that they will leave.

Serbian Orthodox Christianity in Kosovo is becoming a museum whereby famous monuments and monasteries are protected by Western forces; however, the faithful have no freedom to roam around Kosovo freely.

The Turkish Ottomans would be pleased with the bidding of America, the United Kingdom, and other Western nations. Not in their wildest dreams would they have envisaged a mainly Christian and non-Muslim West of offering Kosovo “on a Muslim plate” and with all aspects of Serbian Orthodox Christianity “being the final dinner.”

Modern Tokyo Times has the story:

By Vojin Joksimovich, Ph.D.

On September the 16th NATO forces, overstepping their UN Security Council (UNSC) mandates, amid tensions on the administrative border between Serbia and the self-proclaimed Republic of Kosovo, have fired the first shots at bare-handed Kosovo Serbs in the village of Zupce. The Kosovo Serbs have erected barricades, in a life or death situation, to defend themselves against the Muslim Albanian onslaughts which desire to forcefully incorporate northern Kosovo into the US/EU created Republic of Kosovo, an amputated province from the Republic of Serbia. The Albanian police, aided and assisted by NATO’s KFOR, have taken over two border crossings: Jarinje and Brnjak. The Albanian customs officers, aided and abetted by EU’s EULEX mission in Kosovo, have established their control over the border crossings.

UNSC Emergency Session

After debating for hours behind closed doors the UNSC decided to bury its head in the sand. It came out with a timid call for “restraint” by all parties. Russia’s UN ambassador Vitaly Churkin informed the journalists that Russia proposed a brief to-the-point statement that called on “Belgrade, Pristina and all other sides involved to resolve all outstanding problems through dialogue.” Even this benign statement was unacceptable to the Western powers of the US, GB and France despite escalating tensions. Churkin expressed concern that the international peacekeepers appear to be siding with the Albanians. Serbian foreign minister Vuk Jeremic made it clear that the entire EU proposition playing the mediating role in the dialogue between Pristina and Belgrade may be put in question. “So this sudden departure from the path of dialogue at the moment when it was beginning to show some promise, in our view, is completely unjustified, unwarranted and very dangerous.”

NATO Statement

NATO’s Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen called the situation “a big setback,” and urged all sides to stay within the framework of dialogue. “Let me be very clear: there can be no turning back. NATO has spent 12 years ensuring stability and security. We will not allow that achievement to be put at risk.” This is a text-book example of Western hypocrisy. NATO has been siding with the Albanians since day 1 in Kosovo in violation of the UNSC Resolution #1244. The so called international community wants Kosovo sovereignty on all of its territory despite the fact that Kosovo Serbs in the north are de-facto already broken away from Albanian-run Kosovo due to parallel institutions and absolute determination not to be harassed by the Albanian criminal gangs in Pristina.

Serbian Kosovo Mayor

On September 16 deputy mayor of Zvecan, Miodrag Acic, visited the UNMIK office in Zvecan to discuss the present crisis. Acic stated that Serbs have clearly defined who they are, born in the Serbian Province of Kosovo and Metohija, not so called Kosovars, with a rich identity of more than 1500 years old and who have a love of their culture, language and traditions. Serbs have survived all of the invasions and occupations which befell them in the last 1500 years. Serbian culture and heritage is all over Kosovo despite the fact that Albanians are trying to destroy it. He pointed out to a lack of toponyms, whose origins could be found in the Albanian language. There are, however, Islamic and Turkish toponyms due to the 500 year occupation. Now the Kosovo Albanians with help from US/NATO, with disproportional use of force, are trying to steal our history, our toponyms, our land, our language and are making the last try to expel of us. Acic pointed out and named international officers who side with the Albanians and disregard international law and use instead the Kanun of Leke Dukagjini, set of traditional Albanian codes.

Acic went on: “The situation of our Serbian brothers in the south is difficult, they are being harassed by the Albanian Police, when they go to the Public institutions the Albanians disregard them, ignore them and insult them, there is no Serbian curriculum in their schools, there are no returns because there is an ongoing intimidation campaign against the Serbs, they are surrounded by Albanians who cut their electricity, the water, the services to make them accepting Kosovo Albanian institutions, under the eyes of NATO, international NGOs that are supposed to defend the human rights as they say, they all were compliances and even worst implementers of the Albanian racist policies.” Indeed who cares about the plight of not yet ethnically cleansed 100,000 plus Kosovo Serbs? Do they care in Washington, Brussels or even Belgrade?

Belgrade (Vichy Serbia) and Kosovo Serbs

In my June 13 Modern Tokyo Times article Vichy Serbia Sends War Hero to his Death, I have explained the term Vichy Serbia I have been using. It stands for the current Serbian government which follows the Vichy France model. They have become vassals or quislings supported by mentors in Washington and Brussels. They desperately want their capital to be Brussels rather than Belgrade. President Tadic has for years been brainwashing the Serbs to believe that Serbia has no alternative but to join the EU even if Serbia has to wait until 2019 or 2021. In a recent speech he corrected himself somewhat that Serbia has no “better” alternative. I have been arguing for years now that a “better” alternative is an association with the BRIC countries. South Africa has done it this year.

In order not to jeopardize the EU membership aspirations, the Vichy Serbia is gradually abandoning 100,000 plus Kosovo Serbs. Of course they have to be careful as 2012 is the election year. Hence, they are hoping to obtain the EU candidate status this year without recognizing Kosovo but are fully aware that they would have to do it in order to become members. The Belgrade political elite sees themselves as Europeans, not Serbs, as illustrated at a September 14-16 security conference called Balkan and Global Security in Belgrade which was opened by president Tadic and sponsored by the Belgrade Fund for Political Excellence, Belgrade Center for Security Policy and the European Movement in Serbia.

Russian Ambassador: “Are there any Serbs in this Room”

Russian ambassador to Belgrade Aleksandar Konuzin asked for permission to speak at the above mentioned security conference after the Russian Federation was characterized as a destabilizing factor in the Balkans, which defends Serbia by pursuing own interests. This factor was edited out by 90% of the Belgrade regime media, which characterized the ambassador as a scandal-master.

Ambassador Konuzin said he was puzzled that at this moment, when KFOR/EULEX were transporting the Albanian police and customs officers in violation of the UNSC Resolution #1244 and November 1998 decision, not a single question addressed that issue. “Are there any Serbs in this room? Do you care about the destiny of your compatriots? Russia will defend your national interests together with your foreign minister, while NATO and EU countries will be opposing your national interests. You couldn’t care less for what is happening in your country. Not a single question.” Konuzin said that Russia has interests but who doesn’t but then he recalled that Russian volunteers came to defend Serbia in 1999 without the approval of the Russian government.

In Belgrade the phones were ringing off the hook to praise the ambassador after the patriotic Serbs figured out what transpired at the conference. The internet pages of the Serbian media were inundated with comments praising the ambassador. On Facebook I thanked the ambassador and asked Russia to continue protecting the Kosovo Serbs as the Vichy government in Belgrade will not.

Second Kristallnacht in Kosovo?

In many of my writings, including the book Kosovo is Serbia, I have quoted Mary Walsh’s book Hiding Genocide in Kosovo: A Crime against God and Humanity. Is another genocide or ethnic cleansing of Kosovo Serbs in the making? According to the Frankfurter Algemeine Zeitung the Bundeswehr is sending two armored vehicles with a water gun to follow in order to remove the Serbian barricades. Serbian political analyst Milovan Drecun claims, perhaps alarmingly, that Albanian ROSU special forces are being deployed and that the American Apache helicopters are being ready for action. Eye-witnesses have localized 80 mercenaries from Albania and Macedonia. These sounds like the second round of the Kosovo Kristallnacht, the first took place in March of 2004?

Vojin Joksimovich is the author of three books and some 100 articles on the Balkans.

The Revenge of the Prophet by Dr. Vojin Joksimovich is another classic book which gives great insight and knowledge about the Balkans, radical Islam, US foreign policy and other important areas. If you would like to buy the book then please email vjoksimovich215@gmail.com and forward your details.
