this is sure to blow up in our faces later... I guess if you are a democrate you get a free ride from the press, I think Rush's term "Drive by Media" is a better name to call them. Jimmy Bishop

Non-Muslims Under Siege in Kosovo

Cliff Kincaid reports at Accuracy In Media:

While the U.S. fights Muslim terrorists in Afghanistan and Iraq,
the U.S. and the United Nations are helping allies of Muslim
terrorists come to power in Kosovo, a province of Serbia. This is a
foreign policy disaster in the making that you should hope and pray

gets some immediate attention from the media. To illustrate the
dimensions of the problem, Father Keith Roderick of Christian
Solidarity International has testified that Albanian Muslims in Kosovo

have been systematically destroying Christian churches and other
sites in Kosovo and the Serbian Christian population in the province
is being "squeezed down to oblivion." The evidence is on display in a
new DVD, "Days Made Of Fear," directed, produced and distributed by
Ninoslav Randjelovic.

At the same time, Father Roderick also says that hundreds of new
Mosques have been built in Kosovo over the last several years,
financed mostly by Gulf Arab money.

The excellent DVD consists of 8 different films, but the most
explosive is "Notes About the Rock," on the destroyed and vandalized
churches and monasteries in Kosovo. Many of the scenes captured on
film are considered the only video documentation on this subject
available.

There is no question about the reason for the destruction. The
churches were targeted by the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), also known
by the acronym UCK. These initials are visible on the ruins, like a
calling card. They openly advertise their anti-Christian Jihad, but
our media pay no attention.

Writing for the Byzantine Cultural Project and reviewing the DVD,
Theodoros Georgiou Karakostas comments, "The footage of ravaged and
destroyed Serbian Churches and Monasteries is appalling. The DVD is a
shocking affirmation that the American television Networks such as

CNN, FOX, ABC, CBS, NBC, and the others are all lined up with the
foreign policy establishment and are active practitioners of official
censorship. I cannot recall seeing any of the horrifying footage on
this DVD on American television."

He adds, "The same U.S. media which continues to attack the Bush
administration for lying about the Iraq war, continues to give Bill
Clinton, Madeleine Albright, Richard Holbrooke, Wesley Clark, and
Samuel Berger a pass for their destructive war on Yugoslavia.

We should remember also that at the last Democratic National
Convention in Boston two years ago, one of the top KLA men was an
honored guest of John Kerry.

"The same U.S. media which was appalled by the Taliban's
destruction of the 2,000-year-old Buddhist statues has nothing to say
about the remarkable Serbian Orthodox churches and monasteries which
have stood since the period preceding the Ottoman conquests, and which
are being systematically destroyed."

Why are the media ignoring what is happening in Kosovo?

One reason, as explained in the book, Media Cleansing: Dirty
Reporting, is that the media reported the war wrong and now refuse to
report who has really been victimized by it. Another factor is that
the much-vilified neoconservatives got Kosovo wrong, too.

As I noted in a Media Monitor, "In 1999 the neocons supported the NATO
war on Yugoslavia launched by President Clinton. That benefited a
Muslim terrorist group, the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), with links
to Osama bin Laden." The neocons thought they were supporting a
tougher and a new NATO.

To compound this tragedy, the Bush Administration has continued
the misguided Clinton policy on Kosovo.

Let's remember that Clinton ordered U.S. military intervention in
the Balkans against the Christian Serbs on the grounds that "ethnic
cleansing" and even "genocide" were being waged against Serbia's
neighbors. Most of that was hokum. Serbia, a U.S. ally in World War

II, was being ruled by the communist Slobodan Milosevic, who was
desperate to hold on to power in the former Yugoslavia, which included
Serbia. While Milosevic was a problem, the Clinton "solution" made the
problem worse. Clinton gave the green light to military aggression

against the Serbs and even ordered the CIA to provide support to the
Kosovo Liberation Army, which was allied with Osama bin Laden and
radical Islamists. The U.S. bombed Serbia and forced Milosevic, who
was later turned over to a U.N. court, to capitulate. Milosevic
recently died in a U.N. prison.

Kosovo, like the American southwest, has been deluged by
outsiders, who now want political power. In Kosovo they are Albanian
Muslims, many of them illegal aliens from neighboring Albania. They
want, with U.S. and U.N. support, to turn Kosovo into an independent
Muslim state. The Bush Administration should stop-not accelerate-this
madness.

If the Albanian Muslims succeed in taking over a province of
Serbia, with U.S. and U.N. support, and establishing their own
independent and sovereign state, then why should Mexicans balk at
taking over the U.S. southwest? They must figure, with good reason,
that the U.N. can be counted on to help them.

The cover-up of the persecution of Christians in Kosovo is another
scandal for the media. It shows that when they agree with the Bush
foreign policy, which in this case involves the establishment of a
Muslim state in Europe and is a continuation of the Clinton foreign
policy, they will utter NOT one word of criticism

"Why are media ignoring what is happening in Kosovo"?

Well,...a short answer to your quite valid question is that basically most all of America's politicians (of whatever BENT) and their validating or rubber-stamping journalists (of whatever BENT),...HAVE TOO ignore the current realities of Kosovo.

More specifically:
No one, whether in journalism or politics likes ever having been proved wrong, naive, foolish and/or just plain stupid about worldly ways (anything else either). That's a given. Plus, if can't specifically blame it on Bush,...just doesn't deserve reporting.

Such being why in general both journalists and politicians have so little credibility left amongst The Apolitical and/or majority of NOT politically duped, deceived and in awe of politicians in general, Americans.
Quite insanely, more concern normally displayed by leaders and press about foreigners, gays and minorities effecting politics and political-correctness,...than: "Safe & Secure Borders", "9/11" and mass-murdering terrorism.

Regardless, what makes you, or anyone else for that matter, think that America's quite combined journalistic and political community would act, react and propagate any differently about Kosovo, than the usually ignoring or oblivious of similarly lethal problems, right here on American Soil?

So then, and realistically, look forward to the apparent Muslim overrunning of Kosovo as being politically-correctly renamed. It will be determined that Kosovo only and merely needs: "Immigration Reform",...and nothing else.

And besides, look how much easier and how well it has worked to politically-correctly rename a serious problem rather than resolve same, for America. America no longer has its longtime (about 30 years or more): "Criminally Illegal Alien (nowadays Insurgents also) Invasion" become a serious problem.

Nowadays, such a unique worldly absurdity has QUITE WISELY (just jokin) been reduced to merely an immigration problem to be debated, by both WISE journalists and WISE political leaders.

TRULY AMAZING!!! Hell,...even AMAZING!!! from normally DisneyLand, silly and/or fairytale-like political perspectives.

At very best, the Balkans is a bottomless morass that historically pits the Eastern Orthodox Christians against the Roman Christians, against the Moslems. Add to that, then, the continuing on-again-off again political battles of Communists vs. world, and what we have there is one huge punji pit to consume those who think it best to interfere or get involved. One of the world?s dirty little secrets is the huge WW II extermination camps that had the specific purpose of production line killing the pro-Russian Eastern Orthodox Christian Serbs by the pro-NAZI Roman Christian Croatians, and I suppose Moslems were mass murder-processed as well.
Moving on to more current times, it is no big secret that the KLA were trained and equipped in Al Qaeda run Albanian camps, still are. But somehow the US shifts gears and sides when it comes to the forever battles of the Serbs vs. the Moslems, etc. etc.

The long-term, centuries-old, murdering and genocide cuts both ways and the best side to be on is no side at all. There is no such thing as the least of two evils, just a matter of who our MSM plays up as the ?good guys?, no more, no less.

I really don?t see that the US has any vested interest in the Balkans at all, period, let alone taking sides with our archenemy, Al Qaeda, but we done that.

And of course our MSM has taken sides and abondon objectivity, what's new there? SOSDD, I reckon.

Easy answer.....During the Clinton Administration we helped save the poor Kosovarians in a war that was undeclared, and we were not even attacked. Now, the Kosovarians, MOSLEMS, are joining Al Queida in droves. So glad we saved them from those awful Serbians who saved our pilots and crewmen in droves, from the Croates and Muslims who had all sided with Germany. Makes sense to me. And you think the media is going to tell us about this? They are much too busy trying to make our men out to be murderers. Our troops murdering civilians in cold blood...an anomaly....Islamics murdering civilians in droves daily.....the rule. Which gets the media's attention?

Sounds like it's a European problem, not ours. Of course they won't do anything because they don't want to upset the Muslims. They're perfectly satisified to let the Muslims focus on the US. Problem is, their time will come.
