                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[NATO PROPAGANDA <BR> <BR>Serbian authorities have convinced me that  <BR>Western PR firms have created the ILLUSION <BR>that 1,000,000 human beings have gathered at  <BR>the borders of Macedonia, Montenegro and Albania. <BR> <BR>This is a wicked ploy to make me and the world believe <BR>that the Serbs are raping, murdering and torturing <BR>at will. <BR>Nothing of this ever happened. <BR>1,000,000 people, the world press, UNHCR and Red Cross <BR>are all a part of this CONSPIRACY. <BR> <BR>They all coordinated to tell the same stories. <BR>And the stories were invented in the Pentagon, <BR>distributed through the CIA. <BR> <BR>I absolutely believe in the NEUTRALITY <BR>of the Serbian reports, <BR>because Serb sources work INDEPENDENTLY <BR>from Government influence and are FREE to  <BR>write WHATEVER THEY LIKE. <BR>(Unlike Western press which is CENSORED and a TOOL) <BR> <BR>I really really believe that the 1,000,000 <BR>human beings kicked out of their homes are a HOAX! <BR>HOLLYWOOD could not do better. <BR>The GENOCIDE and DEPORTATION are a fake, fraud and phony. <BR> <BR>It was so silly of me to believe the images <BR>relayed in the Western Media - DUH! <BR>Nobody has been killed or raped. <BR>None of it is true ! <BR>Milosovic is the Messiah. <BR>Can anybody demonize the Devil? <BR> <BR>Finally, let it be known that I am Superman  <BR>and that I know everything. <BR>The world is INDOCTRINATED and manipulated. <BR>Only the SERBS know the TRUTH. <BR>SERBS are right, the world is wrong. <BR> <BR> <BR>(Do I sound like the DUMBEST PERSON ON EARTH  <BR>or just another blind counter-clock SERB-Lover?)]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[THE MEDIA AND THE DEMONIZATION OF THE SERBS <BR> <BR>                                                     by Marjaleena Repo  <BR> <BR>                                                    Tuesday, March 30, 1999  <BR> <BR>   <BR> <BR>  <BR> <BR>The Yugoslavian government has just expelled some journalists from NATO countries from its territory. This is deplored by the media as “censorship,” but in some <BR>of us it has created a strange sense of relief: perhaps now there will be a ceasefire in the 10-year disinformation campaign about the Yugoslavian conflict in general <BR>and the Serbs in particular. Or at least the “journalists” (few actually deserve the name) have to declare that what they are talking about is unverified rumour and <BR>hearsay since they are nowhere near the scene. Up to this point they have been able to create the false impression that they have witnessed the events they report on. <BR> <BR>The Western media&#039;s relentless demonization of the Serbs of Yugoslavia has, however, produced a very predictable (and no doubt, wished-for) result: a truly <BR>genocidal assault on the Serbian people by Western military might, Canada to its eternal shame participating, breaking every relevant international covenant and <BR>treaty.  <BR> <BR>The pack-journalism over the last ten years has also succeeded in hoodwinking many Canadians into thinking that what is at stake is the good-riddance of a Serbian <BR>Hitler who has attempted a "final solution" of sorts on assorted ethnic groups in Yugoslavia. A lot of well-intentioned people are cheering the bombing of yet another <BR>pariah nation into the Stone Age. With the accumulated effects of media rumour-mongering and willful disinformation, who can blame these folks for their barely <BR>controlled blood thirst? After all, because Hitler wasn&#039;t stopped in time, millions perished in concentration camps, goes the heart-felt argument.  <BR> <BR>Yet the labelling of Yugoslavia&#039;s Serb leaders as Hitlers — and the Serbs themselves as brutal, subhuman monsters — is a familiar trick from recent history. It has <BR>been perpetuated by the various hired hands, PR firms, who have worked overtime for the various ethnic groups pushing for secession which would utterly destroy <BR>the once well-functioning, multi-ethnic Yugoslavian federation and replace it with small nation-states which ethnically cleansed themselves (Croatia, for instance, <BR>expelled between 500,000 and a million Serbs from its territory.) The media has merely carried the message of these "hidden hands" of the Balkan conflict.  <BR> <BR>The world was shocked to find out that a PR firm, Hill and Knowlton, had manufactured the "incubator babies" incident in Kuwait which precipitated the Gulf War: <BR>Iraqi soldiers ripping Kuwaiti babies out of incubators in a genocidal fashion. Phony eywitnesses to this atrocity tearfully testified in front of U.S. politicians and the <BR>media, adding to public support for the subsequent bombing of Iraq and contributing hugely to the demonization of the Iraqis, leaders and citizens alike. Even <BR>Amnesty International was taken in by the falsehood, which was later exposed as such, but only after the military damage was done.  <BR> <BR>Yet the shock of being duped soon wore off and gullibility returned. In no time another American PR firm, Ruder Finn, working for the Croatian and Bosnian <BR>separatists, publicly bragged that it had been able to turn world opinion against the Serbs. In April 1993 on French television, James Harff, the director of Ruder <BR>Finn, described his proudest public relations effort as having "managed to put Jewish opinion on our  side." This was a "sensitive matter," he <BR>added, as "the Croatian and Bosnian past was marked by real and cruel anti-semitism. Tens of thousands of Jews perished in Croatian camps... Our challenge was <BR>to reverse this attitude and we succeeded masterfully. At the beginning of July 1992, New York Newsday came out with the article on Serb camps. We jumped at <BR>the opportunity immediately. We outwitted three big Jewish organizations.... That was a tremendous coup. When the Jewish organizations entered the game on the <BR>side of the  Bosnians we could promptly equate the Serbs with the Nazis in the public mind. Nobody understood what was happening in Yugoslavia.... By a <BR>single move, we were able to present a simple story of good guys and bad guys which would hereafter play itself. We won by targeting the Jewish audience. Almost <BR>immediately there was a clear change of language in the press, with the use of words with high emotional content such as ethnic cleansing, concentration camps, etc, <BR>which evoke images of Nazi Germany and the gas chambers of Auschwitz. "  <BR> <BR>The PR firm was piling hoax upon hoax. The famous story of Serb concentration camps was built on a photo of a gaunt man surrounded by others, staring at the <BR>viewer from behind barbed wire; surely an image to chill one to the bones. It took years before a German journalist Thomas Deichman, in an article titled "The <BR>picture that fooled the world," described how the famous photo was staged by its takers, British journalists, who were photographing the inhabitants from inside <BR>barbed wire which was protecting agricultural products and machinery from theft in a refugee and transit camp; the men stood outside of it; and at no time was there <BR>a barbed-wire fence surrounding the camp. But by that time the image had done its deed, terminally slamming the Serbs as genocidal mass murderers.  <BR> <BR>There are countless other stories, all deliberately maligning the Serbs to further the ends of military intervention. These stories and photos of "genocide" and "ethnic <BR>cleansing" (a la Hitler) in a civil war, in which Serbs are guilty as sin and others are their innocent victims, are repeated ad nauseam by western reporters without the <BR>slightest evidence, and have provided the ground for the public&#039;s (hopefully only temporary) acceptance of the illegal and brutal war against the sovereign nation of <BR>Yugoslavia. They continue after NATO&#039;s bombing began, unabated, with new absurdities such as the suggestion that the Serbs are really bombing themselves! <BR>Perhaps in the war crimes court there will soon be a place for journalists and PR firms who with their inflammatory reporting and fraudulent actions cause wars to <BR>begin. THE END]]></content:encoded>
