America’s PSYWAR Against Serbia in Full Swing
Unrelenting PSYWAR
After we have been subjected to almost two full decades of Western mainstream media lies, distortions, half-truths, wishful thinking, brainwashing and subliminal mind-bending messages within the brutal PSYWAR aimed at destroying the Serbian nation, chipping Serbian resolve and embedding the resistance-is-futile meme in the minds of their public world-around, the same old suspects have now found a new venue to keep at it some more.
Kosovo Independence Is Imminent!
For the past 14 months Western press was tirelessly “informing” us Kosovo independence is imminent — right around the corner, that it is “a matter of weeks rather than months” and “days rather than weeks,” gloating over the secret deals supposedly being made with Russia “behind the closed doors” as-we-speak, quoting scores of “diplomats who wished to remain anonymous” who kept confirming that treacherous Moscow doesn’t give a rat’s ass over Serbia, it’s just a matter of few more days of cajoling, more “creative persuasion” (wink-wink), few more carrots for the “corrupt Kremlin regime,” another promise-we-won’t-keep for our Belgrade underlings and it will all be done just as we said, “Kosovo, the last piece of the Yugoslav puzzle,” will be hijacked for good.
More Humble Pie, Anyone?
One would think those big chunks of a humble pie served to Western bureaucrats over Kosovo on a weekly basis, ending with the pie in the face Friday, when they were forced to step onto a world stage in tears over their defeat, to finally admit they are utterly helpless and unable to deliver on constantly reiterated promises to sever Kosovo province from Serbia (the famously choked up We Regret speech) — one would think that all that would be sufficient for the Western press to learn the lesson and start sticking to the facts, stay in the presence, stop projecting, stop distorting, stop trying to wish it into being, get real for once... but no, that’s not going to happen any time soon — as long as media in the West remains just a loudspeaker for the government policies and an instrument of the ruling elite’s hold on power.
VOA, the Pillar of American Propaganda Since WWII
Right now they are busy manipulating the facts surrounding the Contact Group assigned with the task of organizing new negotiations between the Serbs and Kosovo Albanian terrorists. Voice of America offers the prime example of the latest twist and currently most popular spin:
“The United States and European Union took the Kosovo issue away from the United Nations Security Council and handed it over to the six-nation Contact Group last week. Russia has threatened to veto any resolution that is not acceptable to both Belgrade and Pristina. Contact Group members - the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Russia - do not have veto power,” says VOA, the Pillar of American Propaganda since the WWII.
Borrowing from Goebbels’ Bag of Tricks
In few short sentences, the author of this brilliant sampling of Goebbels’ tricks, assures the world the U.S. and the EU are precisely where they belong — on top of things, and still firmly in the driving seat, controlling the trajectory of stars, the expansion of sunspots, the diffusion of intergalactic dust and, of course, the “Kosovo issue.”
So, you see, it’s not that they gave in or, God forbid!, caved in when they consented that the new negotiations are the only way forward, no, no, no! They, in fact, took the Kosovo issue away from those who thought they could mess up their plans, i.e. Russia. And in “taking it away,” the Rulers of the Known Universe were as clever as ever so they made sure to “hand it over” (?!) to Their Own Group where Russia is desperately isolated, being that in this, U.S./EU-owned Group, Russia is stripped of its veto power.
In other words, according to VOA, the “Kosovo issue” is once again as good as settled because, obviously, Russia’s one measly vote is nothing in comparison to five (5) U.S./EU votes, and that’s that, right? Wrong.
Contact and My Yoga Group Can’t Grant Independence to Anything
That such suggestions could only be pulled out of the propagandist of the day’s ass and have no connection to the reality has been confirmed by a number of the officials, in case one really has no clue as to how things actually work with UN resolutions, international law and the rest of it.
Only yesterday Russian President Putin joined the scores of officials to underline the basic fact, that UN Resolution 1244 which reaffirms Serbia’s sovereignty over Kosovo province, like it or not, is still the main document “Kosovo issue” stands upon and falls back to. Foreign Minister Lavrov further explained that any UN resolution, including this one, can be annulled only by the new UN resolution approved by the UN Security Council, and not by any other body, even if international by its composition, like the Contact Group or my Yoga Group.
This in addition to the glaringly obvious, that Contact Group works solely under the auspices of United Nations, not under the auspices of United States or EU. In this case, the so-called Contact Group for Serbian province is the less bulky, smaller version of the United Nations’ “informal talk shop” as James Jatras aptly called it the other day, but certainly not the group which could overrule the UN Security Council, annul legally binding UN SC resolutions, or adopt the new ones. To suggest such a possibility is plain idiotic.
Contact Group Works on Basis of Consensus
In order to further clarify things (for the political imbeciles dominating Western mainstream media), Tanjug reports that “Russia rejected Tuesday claims that the transfer of the Kosovo process from the UN Security Council to the Contact Group, in which the right to veto does not exist, would make it lose the lever of influence in resolving this issue, and noted that all decisions in the Contact Group are taken by consensus.”
This means that the views of its member-states must be taken into account, Russian Foreign Ministry said.
Referring to the Contact Group meeting scheduled for Wednesday in Vienna, ministry spokesman Mikhail Kaminin said that the Kosovo status issue remains the responsibility of the UN Security Council only, and that UN SC cannot be replaced by any other international structure.
The UN SC Resolution 1244, the sole legitimate basis for the negotiating process, also remain in effect and it cannot be abrogated or amended by anyone but the UN Security Council, he said in a release.
The Contact Group role is to help in direct negotiations between Belgrade and Pristina without imposing their final outcome, he said.
The drafting of mutually acceptable agreements is up to the parties themselves, Kaminin stressed.
Comments
It is quite apparent that the Empire's greatest ally is the crippling ignorance, apathy and total disinterest of the general citinzenry in matters of foreign policy including our political system and how it functions,our election process, etc. /lobbies, political contributions, i.e, special interest, ad nauseum/.... This serious disconnect with the American people will come back to haunt the political elite in the not so far future!
Your site and articles are a genuine pleasure to read. They are intelligent, insightful and witty!! Keep up the good work!!
Your,
dyed in the wool serb!!!

Once a very effective tool of conquest the "PSYWAR", is gradually becoming redundant. It takes some serious opposition to the idea of a superpower before it begins to falter. Serbia would not have been in this mess if there was a balancing factor in the superpower game back in nineties. There was no need for a military intervention from an ally only a moral support and a dose of brinkmanship. In spite of all the firepower the West used against the Serbs they still needed Yeltzin to pressure Serbs into submission. Had Yeltzin used his influence in reverse order the whole aggression would have failed miserably.
No wonder the West is at a loss that their well oiled machine is grinding to a halt. They seem to be trying to convince themselves, rather than the rest of the world, that they can still pull it off, alas the panic is visibly creeping into their bone-marrow.

Thank you, dear Bob, I must admit I'm quite proud of the type of readers that find the time to visit this speck of cyberspace.
Let's hope that something changes soon and that Americans do get their country back. Otherwise, most will just keep getting unpleasantly surprised with "growing anti-Americanism" worldwide, with some turning very angry when they feel their country is unjustly blamed for just about anything and everything... instead of rolling up their sleeves to take back what's been stolen from them, like the right to be treated like adults and told the truth, and the right to decide (some might call it democracy). As for Serbs, Americans are our greatest friends (James Jatras, Stella Jatras, Julia Gorin, Andy Wilcoxson, Jared Israel, Gregory Copley, David Binder, Diana Johnstone, Prof. Chossudovsky, Prof. Kent, Edward S. Herman, Chris Deliso, etc.) and our worst enemies - it would take an afternoon to list the most prominent of those :-))
Bozidar, it does seem like they're trying to convince themselves and getting a bit hysterical in the process. The levels of idiocy never cease to amaze me, though.
