An Open Letter To Diana Johnstone > > > > "The light shone by the media is not the regular sweep of the lighthouse, > > but a random searchlight directed at the whim of its controllers" > > Douglas Hurd An Open Letter To Diana Johnstone
By Bl. Doncheva, Sofia, Bulgaria

Diana Johnstone, a well-known progressive US journalist , has let in the public space three articles on the September-October events in Yugoslavia, more or less a shocking surprise for me. I would have awarded her writings with the silence they deserve if my mail-box has not been assaulted with them from all quarters of the world. You see what a harm can be done by a false assessment of events by a justly won popularity and authority of an honest journalist in the past. (The question if it is only a "false assessment of events" or ordered "false assessment of events" remains open.)

What is wrong with "In a Spin ", the last Diana Johnstone's article I have received by a Zmag.org readers both from Canada and Holland? The wrong in her article can be roughly devided in three groups. 1/ She thinks the elections in Yugoslavia (September 24) have been "democratic". She insists on it. She repeats that sham several times. Free expression of free will.

The truth is they have been BLATANTLY undemocratic. a) Because of the great sums of money poured into Yugoslavia from the US and NATO countries - see Emperors-clothes (or www.tenc.net ): there you will find SEVERAL well-grounded articles on that subject, incl. USA Senate Protocol on some of the KNOWN enourmous sums of US money approved by the Senate; - see "New York Times" article by STEVEN ERLANGER, September 20, page A3, b) Because of the direct most ARROGANT interference in the internal affairs of a still sovereign country (before October 6 Yugoslavia WAS a sovereign country!) by way of the - so-called "temporary US Embassy" set in Budapest and the feverish activities of the US Ambassador there; - aborriginal - colonial - comprador - etc., government of Bulgaria, a country fully dependant on USA-NATO ("Bulgaria has lost a 100 % of its sovereignty", B. Dimitrov, a Bulgarian historian and scientist, on one of the cable TV on Sunday, Oct. 22).

Read again Emperors-clothes (www.tenc.net ), and also (There is a SEARCH window there. You write Bulgaria and click.) At Emperors-clothes you can find the Memorandum of the Yugoslavian government concerning that flagrant interference and at both sites you will find some translatrions from the Bulgaria media announcing how CIA have used the Bulgarian territory and some of the Bulgarian US lackeys for their dirty tricks. I ask Ms. Diana Johnstone, Zmag site and D. Johnstone's fans how they will classify - lecturing "Otpor" activists in Sofia by CIA trainees for a week just before the elections, or - announced attempt at a parallel counting in Bulgaria the votes of an election in another STILL sovereign country?

IS IT INTERFERENCE OR NOT? If there is such interference, could elections be democratic? "That is the question." That is why I think there is something rotten in D. Johnstone's position re the tragic Yugoslavian September and October 2000. 2/ Ms. D. Johnstone thinks a lot about Mr. Kostunica. He is great. A nationalist. A lover of his country. A justice fighter. He has saved Mr. Milosevic and his family from lynching. A valorous person. A paradigm of perfection. I.e., Ms. D. Johnstone is diligently building a myth around Kostunica, telling fairy-stories and obstinately going round the facts.

And the facts are both simple and sad. a/ Kostunica is a leader of an obscure insignificant party. I.e., he would have NEVER been pushed ahead as a presidential candidate if that had not been the decision of the newly founded DOS - and those monitoring it. Everybody of the reading public knows how DOS has appeared at the political scene in Yugoslavia and the Balkans. Everybody knows that it has happened under the prescription and pressure of the USA-CIA and German agents cradling the so-called "opposition" in Yugoslavia for months, not to say for years on a run. Everybody from the region at least knows which party and which leader has the last say in that coalition of parties. For Ms. Johnstone and the others who do not know, the answers are: DJINDJIC' s party. DJINDJIC. She herself has given a characteristic of DJINDJIC.

Logical Conclusion: Kostunica is a Nobody. He is only a pitiable Puppet On a String. DJINDJIC's man - i.e., USA-Germany-NATO's man. He has been intensely used to lure the Yugoslavians into the deadly trap of MacDeath AllDark and Company. The Globalisers. b/ Ms. Johnstone's Kostunica myth is instilling into her readers totally wrong impression of her favourite's character and moral. In that connection I have the following questions to Ms. Johnstone and her fans:

If Kostunica is an intelligent person, wouldn't he FIRST read the DOS program? Is it possible to admit that he has accepted to run for a presidential candidate of a coalition WITHOUT even having read FIRST its program?!? If he has read it but has not undersood the economical part being ignorant about the ways of IMF and WB, NWO (Globalisation) etc., wouldn't he ask independent specialists for clarifying the dark points? But if he is so ignorant about the malignant cancer wolfing the world for years on a run, could he be accepted as so very intelligent?

Or, if we agree that he IS brilliant, then won't we be right to doubt is moral? How could a patriot - a nationalist, as the rumour is - stand behind much a program as the one of G-17, DOS economists and IMF and WB experts? A program that will strip Yugoslavia from even the pale remnants of a sovereignity in no time!.... A program that will kill his people, force them on their knees, steal their hopes! A program that will kill his country!...

And here is another equally painful and tragic question: How could a patriot stand behind the future canonization - disintegration - of his country? How could a patriot be for the murdering of his people and country both in economical and political sense?!!!?... c/ According to Ms. Johnstone the FASCIST POGROMS on October 5-6 in Belgrade had been carried out without Mr. Kostunica knowledge and approval - of course. It seems Mr. Kostunica has lived 2-3 days on a run in a blissful ignorance of what is going on in the Belgrade streets and the Skupstina! (Notwithstanding the relish with which all the Conquerors' TV programs have kept unrolling again and again pictures of the CIA orchestrated VANDALISM! He has not an access to a TV set - maybe.) Surely he had not known anything about the simultaneous attacks against SPS offices in Belgrade and all over the country, or the FASCIST violence against SPS members.

Let's agree with Ms. Johnstone that he did not know. Later he has learned and stopped them - how exactly? Ms. Johstone says just that - he has stopped them and valourously saved Mr. Milosevic's life. He has not allowed the Chaushesku scenario to be repeated. But what has he done practically? Has he gone out to talk with that FASCIST Mayor of Cacak? Has he sent other thugs to stop the first ones? Has he such "good" thugs at his disposal to send them against the "bad" ones? Could an ABJECT puppet on strings interfere at critical moments? Is it really possible for Kostunica to exercise such power? Or the FASCISTS have stopped simply because the Monitoring Center has ordered them to stop? Or Mr. Milosevic and his family have not been lynched only because the Monitoring Center has decided not to go to such extremities just now? Mr. Muilosevic's lynching - and eventually of his family together with l > his baby-grandchildren - might have been postponed for a later date -all for another CNN bloody spin (surely while beloved Kostunica is peacefully sleeping with his cats...) 3/ Serb Voters' justification.

Ms. Johnstone's insistent paper wall building between Kostunica and DJINDJIC, her fairy-story about Kostunica's "independence" from both German and USA main man, DJINDJIC, is truly exasperating, mildly said. But what is unbearable - for me - is her justification of the Serbian voters. At least I accept the final part of her article as such justification.

In contrast to her I do not think there is a justification for a betrayal of a country and a people. Nothing can justify your Mother and Father trading for a PROVEN lie - for an illusion! What can justify the trading of the children of a people for some seconds on the TV and shoulder-pattings from a World Murderess?

An honest and responsible journalist would have had the will and time to add > and underline that for the past eleven years Bulgarians have known depths of misery and suffering still unknown for the poor Serb voters! Without being bombed. Without being sanctioned. Without being isolated internationally or banned from travelling in the sense the Serbs had been. Just because Bulgarian DJINDJIC-Kostunica-Drashkovic-Shesheli etc., have served us, Bulgarians, with a curtsey to IMF, WB, USA-NATO, EU!

What poverty is Ms. Johnstone writing about? What does she know about poverty? Could she imagine the extent of poverty that turns a human being first into a helpless stray hungry dog - then into a bewildered hungry cockroach - then into a rotting piece of vegetable in a dump container?!?... The Serb voters, Ms. Johnstone, know NOTHING about poverty... They have had and enjoyed their SOCIAL, HEALTH, EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMS untouched and functioning for WHOLE ELEVEN YEARS MORE than us, the Bulgarians.

Soon those most IGNORANT and CRIMINALLY IRRESPONSIBLE boys and girls from CIA "Otpor" will have to pay for their education. Soon many of the Institutes and Universities, opened for them now, will be closed for good. Soon all the Serb Voters will have to pay unbearable sums for what has been free of charge till now... Many of the hospitals now will be closed. Villages will be left without doctors and medicine. > Soon only those with money will be able to go to a doctor or a dentist... Soon only those with money will be operated in the hospitals that will be left to function.

HOW MANY WILL HAVE THE MONEY?

That is what CIA "Otpor" and the other IGNORANT AND IRRESPONSIBLE young people have jumped for in the Belgrade streets after September 24. The Serb Voters had their factories and plants - their industry - untouched and functioning. They could work and live on their wages notwithstanding how small they were. Soon they will have NO industry - so NO wages. In exchange they will receive the NWO right to dig into the dump containers for a mouldy piece of bread! The minors who went on a strike in suport of the New World Order Reign in Yugoslavia will have no work at which to strike anymore. The mines will be closed and their 80 dollars per month now will disappear as a smoke... Some of them will turn into dump-containers' diggers. Others will blow themselves to pieces, kicked into a trap without any way out. (That is just what some Bulgarian minors did.) Some will choose simpler means - a rope, a knife, a jump from a high storey or a rock...

Serb Voters will NEVER be "normal Europeans again". The USA and Western Monsters they have sold themselves to have not planned that for them. They want the riches of their country - they are interested solely in that and the full conquest of the Balkans as a starting step for new crusades!

THEY WANT THE RICHES OF YUGOSLAVIA AND ITS TERRITORY, NOT THE POPULATION.

For them every population in every conquered country is only a nuisance: less people - less problems. Now the Serbs themselves - the Serb Voters to an extent - have given the World Vultures the possibility to lecture them on

GENOSIDE - WHAT IS THIS?

When the Serb Voters begin to really worry about what so many people all round the world have kept writing and warning - warning and writing - it will be too late!...

Serbs problems till September 24 - October 5-6 were minor problems in comparison with what is in store for them - in comparison with what DJINDJIC ' Masters will get out of their pockets for the Heroic Serb Voters indeed! How could minor problems be solved by changing them with a bunch of very grave - of really deadly problems - I cannot understand. It is not a solution. It is a death sentence!

I have not a word of justification for the Serb Voters and all those who have taken part in the FASCIST Pogroms and CIA coup in Belgrade. They have welcome IMF and WB DOS leaders like DJINDJIC and DOS experts (see www.tenc.net ) -

AFTER SEATTLE, NOVEMBER 30, 1999; AFTER DAVOS, JANUARY 2000; AFTER WASHINGTON, APRIL 16; AFTER MELBOURNE, SEPTEMBER 11; After Prague, September 26!!!

How could WILFUL IGNORANCE be justified?

They have betrayed not only themselves and their people and country. They have betrayed my country too. They have betrayed the Balkans. The World.

Now really courageous people will fall bloody victims to what their IGNORANCE and IRRESPONSIBILITY has made possible - and not only in Yuigoslavia...

Remember Guatemala. El Salvador. Chili. Colombia. Bolivia...

And pray.
