The role of media and its complicity is described in the article of Peter Brock in the Foreign Policy magazine titled The Partisan Press and in his book Media Cleansing, the partiality being undeliberately acknowledged by the former Secretary of State James Baker in his The Politics of Diplomacy 1995...
The partisanship of the mainstream media was obvious from the very beginning of the war in Croatia when during the fightings for the city Vukovar in eastern Croatia the W media were focusing exclusively on its capture by the YU army in the autumn 1991 without even mentioning the fact that in the spring-summer 91 the Croatian troops of the National Guard in close cooperation with the Croatian paramilitary militia had massacred hundreds of
C.Serbs in the Vukovar immediate hinterland ... Their dead mutilated and raped bodies were found in the former Austrian-Hungarian catacombs under Vukovar ...
The same partisanship dominated in the concentration camps accounts when the W media were mentioning only the ones staged by BSerbs , as Omarska,
although the Bosnian Muslims and BCroats operated the same c. camps of the same size and the same barbarous mechanisms with no men of good will, such as Celebici , Livno , Tarcin , Bradina , Odzak ... The BMuslims ran one c. camp even in Sarajevo , the Zetra camp ... The brutality in the B Muslimc. camp in Celebici was described in Celebici by Carl Savitch and by Diana Johnstone in Fool´s Crusade pages 71-72 ...
However, there were two differences : unlike from the BSerbs the BMuslims and the Croats hired the internment camps " management" from the "professional" firms
and did not allow any "inspections" of these " human facilities" ...
The official mainstream journalists drawing from "official" governmental " war manuals" and building their accounts on untrustworthy witnesses,many a time with rich criminal records, were spreading " intimate " information on the
Bosnian Serb " New Osvetims" as Roy Gutman ( the Hague issued an arrest warrant for a certain Gruban whose slaughtering of the Muslims described in his report Roy Gutman but later on the Hague found out that someone had made a fool of Gutman because Gruban was only a fictitious figure from an Yugoslavian book , the so -called " Gruban causa" at the Hague ) and John Burns, both of which were granted in 93 the Pulitzer Prize for their "erudite" Bosnia War coverage ... (Fool´s Crusade pages 70-83 )
John Burns has een awarded the Pulitzer Prize for his lengthy interview with Boris Herak, a captured Bosnian Serb who was "delivered" for the interview by one of the cameramen who worked for the Sarajevo government and were paid by Soros ... A few years later when several of the tortured to death Muslims from the Serbian c. camps appeared in good health in public , Herak confessed that he was forced by his prison masters into learning by heart many pages about atrocities commonly committed in the Serbian c. camps ...
After Herak had made this public confession, John Burns and the New York Times questioned publicly the Herak´s mental capacity because Herak yet earlier had accused "at order" the Canadian gen. Lewis Mackenzie of raping young Muslim girls delivered to him for this purpose by the BSerbs ...
(Peter Brock Media Cleansing)
One of the most famous propaganda lies that went around the world as the photograph was about the BSerb internment camp Trnopolje which was visited by the British reporters in August 92. The reporters took a photograph
of a very skinny young man behind the barbed wire named Fikret Alic ...
Actually, Fikret Alic suffered from acute TBC and he was very scrawny
yet before his arrival at the internment camp ... Secondly, it was no internment camp at all but a transit camp and Fikret Alic was successfully transported to Sweden for the medical treatment , and thirdly,the reporters stood beehind the barbed wire , not him ... This photomontage became a convincing evidence in the NATO officials speeches about the BSerb " new Osvetims" and created a moral base for the ICTY formation ... and 20 minutes after they had been broadcast by the UK ITN TV on 6.8.92 , Bush Senior convoked a press conference at which he proclaimed a new American strategy against the BSerbs consisting in harsh sanctions against them...
In 2003 Jared Israel, during the Bosnia war a reporter for the Associated Press who proved Albright guilty of lying , caused another scandal when in 03 he sent to the Hague a videotape titled Judgement which was partly made by his and Max Sinclais ´s firm Emperor´s Clothes and which demonstrates that step by step how the famous above -mentioned photo (and other ones ) were
"produced" by the British TV ITN...
It was also Jared Israel who pointed at the journalists who made on the "7.-8.000" executed Muslims in Srebrenica their career, as David Rohde who later on admitted the 8.000 was an exxageration and reduced it to 1.883 -1.668 but this confession of David Rohde has never been published by any mainstream media ...David Rohde now insists on the reduced numbers
saying both the figures are mentioned in the reports of the intern. forensic teams of experts from the NATO states :Coming to these forensic reports everybody mentions them but actually, not a single mainstream media published them - not even the Hague tribunal that used the forensic evidence against Milosevic but never made them public, only their fragments ... David Rohde claims that one American press agency,namely the small NATO IWPR,sponsored by Soros, mentioned the conclusions of the NATO forensic experts , and he is right : the NATO forensic experts acknowledge the suspicion that some of the bodies found in Srebrenica were the bodies of the Serb civilians murdered by the Oric troops in 92-95 because the 3.200 skeletons were pure skeletons i.e. they must have been of earlier date than from July 95 ...
The government of Izetbegovic implemented in Washington developed programme of "obligatory provocations against the BSerbs, then accusing them of attacks and inflating the casualty numbers " as it was proved e.g. by the prime minister Haris Silaidzic who claimed that early in 92 in Bihac where there were minor fightings the UN caused the death of 70.000 Muslims,
then in December 92 the Sarajevo government claimed 128.444 dead Muslim soldiers ,in June 93 the number given by it was 222.000 and in 1994 250.000 of dead Muslims ... The media and politicians accepted these figures unreservedly, even David Rieff,an antiwar intellectual , also Clinton used the figure of 250.000 killed Muslims ...George Kenney warned the press against non-verifying these figures and maintained that the correct number was max. 60.000 ...(the New York Time magazine 23.4.95) The Norwegian government sponsored in 05 a study which concluded that the number of the killed Muslims was 80.000, the study on the same topic by ICTY gave the figure of 102.000 ...
The false figures were presented during the NATO -78 days- bombing in 99 when the US officials claimed that the Serbs are committing another "genocide " , this time in Kosovo ,where the Serbs allegedly killed 100.00 -250.000 Kosovan Albanians (Edward Herman The NATO Media Lie Machine,Univ. of Pennsylvania) Later on these numbers gradually went down to 11.000 and stopped at 11.334, ALTHOUGH during the largest criminal search in history for the dead Kosovo Albanians victims only as few as 4.000 bodies have been found ... Michael Ignatiev in the New York Times claimed that the unfound bodies the Serbs jammed in those "famous" Srebrenica refrigerator trucks and transported them into Serbia ... (see the previous answers to this charge , as the absolute shortage of fuel,the time aspect,the population and the internat.observers vigilance and the like) ... Interstingly, the mainstream media have never published the casualties on the Serbian side ...
The lies on the Izetbegovic government part were accompanied by the slaughtering its own civilians , see the breadline massacre and the two massacres on the Markala Market in 94 and 95 . the evidence against the Sarajevo government troops being summarised esp. in the investigation report
made for the Congress on January 16,1997 and in the Intelligence and the War in Bosnia by prof. Cees Wiebes ... John E. Sray,the then chief of the American intelligence in Sarajevo declared that the above-mentioned " massacres of the Sarajevo civilians should be iclosely nvestigated by the Hague Tribunal " ( John E. Sray Selling the Bosnian myth to American Buyers,Foreign Military Studies,Fort Leavenworth,Kansas,October 1995) ...
No need to say that these massacres have not een investigated by ANYBODY, the less so by the Hague Tribunal ...
Unfortunately, the UN played a key role upon selling these propaganda lies ...
blackmailed by Madelaine Albright and Izetbegovic and by the Hague ( blackmailed itself by Albright ) which served as a NATO ´s investigation body
which acknowledged its spokesman Jamie Shea on 16.5.99 ... When Shea was asked about the NATO´s vulnerability concerning the accusations made by the Hague , Shea answered " that is not worrying us as the main prosecutor will instigate the investigation only if we let her doing so ... "
(the NATO member states are sponsoring the Hague -this does not imply that the creation of the ICTY was not the thing to do but it only warns against
being too trusty animal in relation the media easily giving in when politically manipulated ... and the ICTY was obviously manipulated , e.g. it took no notice whatever of the testimony given by gen. Philipe Morillon who acknowledged the massacres of the Serbian civilians committed on a regular basis for three years on the order of Izetbegovic by Nasir Oric and his troops of Bosnian army , once a bodyguard of Milosevic who dismissed him for a theft ...
And when the Hague very reluctantly made itself to arrest Nasir Oric on the order of Carla del Ponte on 28.3.03 to keep up at least appearance of a judicial " balance " , it indicted him only for a killing of seven captured Serbs which he had tortured to death and for a "deliberate destruction of neighbouring Serbian villages " ...
because the Hague " could not find ANY evidence for indicting Oric from massacring at least 3.200 Serb civilians ... THOUGH Oric was diligently recording all these massacres on video and had been boasting himself of the video shots showing atrocities he himself was committing or ordering .
.. and two NorthAmerican journalists ( Bill Schiller from Toronto Star 31.1.93 in his article "The Muslim Hero swears he will fight till the end ... and the ill-famous John Pomfret from the Washington Post from 16.2.94 "The Srebrenica Toughman has got both the weapons and money " ) have seen the videoshots showing piles of corpses... The detailed evidence has been presented by the Yugoslavian ambassador to the UN in the report " The war crimes against the Serb civilians in the eastern Bosnia - communities in Bratunac,Skelani and Srebrenica " . The decision of the Hague was criticised severely by the BBC on 11.4.03 ...
The men of Nasir Oric troops were not only the islamist veterans from Afghanistan but also major criminals released from prisons following the outbreak of the war on the direct order of Izetbegovic and implanted to S. to provoke the Serbs by massacring the Serb civilians ...
After leaving Srebrenice before leaving Srebrenica " in time " before Mladic´s recaptured it, the war criminal Oric lived a happy life of millionaire in his luxorious apartment in Tuzla where he became an owner of a payable night club ... When he was arrested in March 03 by the NATO troops , the Muslims leaders marched in street demonstrations and at the Hague they shouted slogans as :" The Serb soldiers wwho executed 7.000 of Muslims are happily merrying themselves free and the UN has not been punished for Srebrenica as well, nor the Dutch commnander who after having been heard by 20 Dutch investigating commissions was transferred to yet better paid position ...
