European Union's Foreign Policy Made in Bonn

Drawing the parallels between the orchestrated vilification of the Serbian people in the 1990's and the 1930's, “when most of the British press demonised the Czechs at Downing Streets behest, denouncing them as a threat to European peace and for ill-treating their peaceful German Sudetenland minority,” while “‘Herr’ Hitler, by contrast was held up as a reasonable man,” Sir Alfred Sherman pointed to the legitimate claim of the Serbs to self-rule with religious and cultural freedoms and concluded:

This will not be achieved so long as European Community foreign policy is made in Bonn, whose agenda entails the reversal not only of Versailles, but also of the post-1945 settlement.

Germany's Latest War: War Against Yugoslavia

In a letter to The Washington Times editor published today, Dr. Vojin Joksimovich responds to a Muslim propagandist claiming that secession of Slovenia and Croatia had little to do with religion. He explains how, after Tito's death, Vatican “revived the ancient policy of European division between the Roman and Byzantine parts” by which Roman Catholic Slovenia and Croatia “belonged to the Roman Europe together with Poland, Hungary and Czechoslovakia,” while “the other Yugoslav republics [which] had predominant Serbian Orthodox and Muslim populations ... thus belonged to the Byzantine Europe together with Russia.”

Professor Joksimovich further explains:

Vicious secession campaigns were initiated in Germany and Austria. Germany, as the leading member of the European Community (now European Union), took the lead and coerced most other EC partners in dismembering Yugoslavia.

Germany recognized the secessionist republics of Slovenia and Croatia on Dec. 23, 1991, the Vatican on Jan. 12, 1992, and the EC on Jan. 15. The United States' recognition did not come until April 6.

(...)

Four days after Mr. Baker's departure, Slovenia and Croatia unilaterally declared their independence, casting Yugoslavia into a political and constitutional limbo. The ensuing series of events culminated in the Serbo-Croat civil war. Former U.S. Secretary of State Cyrus Vance characterized it as the Genscher's war (Hans Dietrich-Genscher was Germany's foreign minister) (...)

Renewed Drive for Dominance

With recently elected German Pope, Joseph Ratzinger who, before stepping on Vatican Ladder, was a member of the Hitler's army (no big deal, though, boys will be boys), on the eve of German takeover of the European Union leadership in 2007, and at the time the status of southern Serbian province of Kosovo and Metohija is to be decided upon, it comes as no surprise that the person assigned to head the UN Mission in Kosovo is no other then a German national Joachim Rücker who is openly rooting for Albanian secessionists.

Build That Wall Again!

In a climate where the aggressively renewed German drive for dominance is more then obvious, news such as the recent one appearing on the German Foreign Policy site are eerily familiar:

The medieval, Europe-wide German Reich is a valid model for the union of European countries today. So says the Berlin State Minister for Culture, Bernd Neumann. According to him, the memory of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation reveals “an inner historical consistency” with the founding and steady expansion of the European Union. These remarks are a preparation for the festivities in Berlin for the fiftieth anniversary of the European Economic Community (EEC), to which the Federal Chancellor, Angela Merkel, has invited the German Pope, Joseph Ratzinger. Ratzinger is a committed supporter of the “Imperial Ideal” (Reichsidee) and is to speak on the “spiritual foundations” of Europe in the German capital. This government offensive to revitalise the Imperial Ideal will underline the German leadership of the EU and confirm fears in France, Great Britain and almost all the states of eastern Europe. Sections of the German elites are warning against an all-too-public assertion of German hegemony.

It is becoming exceedingly obvious that the world now needs another Reagan to say: “Mr. President, bring that wall up again!” Otherwise, we're all screwed.

Speaking of Evil: Playing Kosovo in Switzerland

Switzerland has been shaken by the news of a violent crime committed by two Kosovo Albanian boys age 11 and 13 who have raped a 5 year old girl. According to the Swiss newspapers Blick and Sudostschweiz, which made the affair public, the 5 year old girl was taken to a neighbourhood park where she was sexually abused by the two schoolboys. The victim was held down by the younger boy while the 13 year old teenager raped her. Then the younger boy took his turn. All three lived in Rhazuns, Switzerland, and knew each other.

Poor “Albanian Kosovars,” after suffering at the hands of those nasty Serbs, the Swiss are now continuing to abuse world's favorite victims in their new home, prohibiting their children to play Kosovo with Western children and banning them from a public school.

To paraphrase late President Milosevic: “When they start raping your children, ambushing and killing your policemen and beheading your own people, then you will know what this is all about.”
