ne samo viceve nego i pohvale od Amerikanaca, bili oni i iz

Srbija, stožerna ("pivotal") zemlja ulazi u EU 2018. ili 2019.!
I dalje se svi
pretvaraju da će netko od hrvatskih političara "vjerojatno uvesti u
Europsku uniju," tu zemlju s upernim prstom Josipovića kao da je
rođeni Bush i opijenom bespomoćnosti Bandića koji je barem tragično
simpatičan. I Financial Times navija za Josipović prst – gle, sad je
i SDP-ovac Bandic "nacionalist" –, kao da to nije medij "u rodu" s
VOA-om koja je ipak otkrila da je stožer europskih integracija
Tadićeva Srbija, a ta "stožerna zemlja" neće u EU prije 2018. ili
2019. Navodno će marginalna Hrvatska ranije…. Ma haj’te… (više)
VOC:
NACRT GLAVNE TOČKE PRIJEDLOGA ZA POLITIČKI PROGRAM PREDSJEDNIČKIH I
INIH KANDIDATA
VoC, Ivana Arapović, 24. prosinca 2009.
Čitatelji VoC-a mogu pratiti reakcije na
Prijedlog za oslobađanju političkih zatvorenika ICTY-a kao glavne točke
izbornog programa i komentare -- i zašto je izbačena riječ "amnestija"-- na novoj stranici:
Hrvati znaju lijepo pisati kad hoće, ali ipak su narod koji šuti dok ne
pukne od nepravdi. Postali su plijenom, ili kako to diplomati stručno
kažu, talcem vlastite nevjerice, pa i kad im ona satirično, cinično
odnosi žrtve ispred nosa. Od velikih do najmanjih. Međutim, ne treba im
pripisivati oportunizam, barem ne iznad mjere u kojoj se isti može
pripisati ljudskoj prirodi, jer znali su se i pokazati – velikim. Treba
otvoriti oči.
Ako
čovjeka oblikuje i okružje ili uvjeti u kojima živi, makako bio svoj,
treba ih barem načelno definirati. Napose kad se radi o nepopustljivo
diktatorskom okružju koje ga sili na iste povijesne pogreške i prikriva
motive djelovanja po starom komunističkom šablonu, premda su mu "promjene"
omiljena fraza. (više)
"Isolation or democracy" (under the guns) - Update
Contrary to common belief widely spread by Croatian
diplomacy, the ICTY, and some media, Croatia, via its foreign
policy, had a more decisive role in the attacks against Croats
in Bosnia than helping the only people that was only defending
itself in that region.
"I thought I was in Africa"
I updated my latest article with the link on
Kupreskic case, which
was declared "legal" the day after by the former Minister of
Exterior Granic (HTV), although he previously said in a report
to the Parliament commission that "Croatia does not wish and is
not ready to become the eternal hostage of the happenings in
Bosnia and Herzegovina" (1994-95)! How come Croatian diplomacy
authorized the later attacks against Croatians in Bosnia, if it
had nothing to do with Bosnia?
Most curiously, no authority or media ever addressed the
incident in Jajce (to mention only one!), when the disarmed
members of the OS/MOD etc. of Bosnian origin were sent to "vote"
-- all their paperwork done via the UN offices in Zagreb (!), in
agreement with the ministry of Exterior etc. --, and were
"welcomed" by being surrounded in a surprise attack by the UN
land and air forces ready to fire on them. Disarmed, and on
their own land! Who might have authorized such a democratic
"voting" procedure after the war? Who was able to impose total
silence about it, ever after? That was "legal", too. It was a
true humiliation, that we can never forget. The result of
"diplomatic" effort.
After the incident, for they could not meet the challenge, fully
disarmed in Zagreb, and quite shocked by the "welcome" in Jajce,
Croatians were issued "The Socialist Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia" certificates in the facilities of AVNOJ! ETC. ETC.
If Croatian diplomacy pushed the authorities to sacrifice,
"unconditionally", the innocent victims to The Hague, as no
democracy in the world has ever done, and political elites more
or less quietly consented to it, the only logical explanation is
that some "big" guys in diplomacy had their fingers in the
tragedies of the war, in so many incidents, and particularly in
sealing the post-war chaos; hence, they prefer to accuse
whomever else, for they would not like to be a hostage of their
own grave mistakes in playing with the destinies of the people.
Business is business for them, and bloody profitable...

ENGLISH
"Post-communism": The Republic of Croatia
gave the official name to the Croatians of Bosnia…. but sold their
Bosnia! (as everything else)
When I questioned, in the late 1990s, via some extensive articles and
analysis, Milan Djukic's imperative of "democracy or isolation" -- i.e.,
Soros et al's regional initiatives, the "unconditional cooperation" with
the ICTY, of which Soros and Croatian government are declared (at least
initial) sponsors and co-founders, "democracy" under communist veil, and
so on, and on -- several media riposted, in bold titles, "Against the
government", "Against diplomacy", "Against Granic", while at places, it
was especially "Against the opposition" (mid-July 1998). Since then,
things went only down for Croatia. But, we see all too well what it is,
in deed. Now, most corruption affairs are quickly resolved
(Christmas is coming only for those, what a gift!), whatever the
evidence. And whatever the evidence, the innocent soldiers (commanders!)
are tried in endless political processes: Imagine trying the US or
Canadian top commanders for the most
recent affairs concerning
Afghanistan. So much about "democracy" of Croatian diplomacy and the
ICTY. It only initiated the worst passions in the region, and instituted
huge injustices. And quite many "overnight" millionaires.
Hence, I decided to translate my new Croatian article in English,
"against" whomever it may be, for it might put some more light on the
origins of treason and its repercussions in the region:
We can only wonder how those guys were
credible to negotiate the peace, even via the ICTY, while instituting a
perpetual chaos. Belgrade is omitted from this view, for Belgrade would
never succeed in reverting the truth as Croatian "most capable
politicians/diplomats" did. It was time we unpacked some myths and saw
how...

Iz
mojih knjiga, predavanja, govora i mnostva clanaka Hrvati u domovini i

1949. sve do dana danasnjega. Ravnih 60 godina bas u ovome mjesecu! Za

hrvatozderne Jugoslavije, svi znaju osim vlasti Republike Hrvatske.
Radi njihova “neznanja” ja sam Hrvat bez hrvatskog drzavljanstva i bez

Mit o iznimnoj
vrsnoći "najsposobnijih" ili "svjetskih" poslovnih političara u Hrvata
više nije tako nedodirljivo grandiozan. Upravo je još uvijek neugodno
opasno načimati teme o okorjelim lopovima iz vrha hrvatskih državnih
struktura, kao da se radi o kakvim para-strukturama. Paluba je kliska, i
ne zna se tko bi još mogao, pri potezanju političkih rukava, skliznuti
za bivšim premijerom Sanaderom, te ostalim kompulzivnim kriminalcima,
poput kockara Jurice ili nekih od Žužula. (više)
In spite of my

make as great

any of my dear pages

they've only got a

that explains in
more details the
"principles" of
their inherent
non-accountability
and their "skill" in

Some things are too
base to deal with,
but they're part of

and resume a honest

afford some spare

be assured, while
they're getting only
worse, VoC can only
get better.
Once they're out of

drop this language

practicing of my

"Real
criminals will never face justice"
Croatians
still seek to appease the enemies that
placed them under vestigial but powerful
reign of communists. It means to destroy
the defense effort, paid with so much
innocent blood, and to maintain or
re-invent continuity of old communist
services, usually described as
"antifascist," on which particularly
relied the intermediaries of US policy.
The "elected dictators" and false elites
-- used to the old communist practice
that still costs many sacrifices --
create false links with traditional
Croatian values, ably reverse the
truth, the individual qualities, and
accusations : They're quick to attach
all that they do wrong to those who
previously opposed their wrongdoing. It
became a "model" of Croatian democracy,
initialized by multifaceted, often
non-transparent parties of influence who promised
that the real criminals would never face
justice.
When a
"liberal phase" is interpolated into
their system of deception, toward so-called
democracy in the post-communist
countries, the deeds of evil become
"perfect": All kinds of abuses and
perversions are permitted.
That's
post-communist, modern-day Croatia.
--------------
My
website received the threats from a
lawyer in Dubrovnik Ivica Ban "Orsat"
saying
that the idiots might be sent to me
within 24 hours if he wished so, and if
that were his job, for I wrote against Zuzul, Jurica, Sanader etc. Accompanied
with daily insults which he promised to
continue as long as my website is on. He
also wished that the emails largely
distributed by HDZ-USA (when they
"ratified the NATO"), which contain his
insulting stories on me, be removed from
my website (posted on VoC's lobbying-money-laundering/amac-rb page,
although he, too, emailed them around
persistently!), otherwise he
won't stop with abusing of my website
material, writing under my initials, my
name, sending insulting daily emails....
He says it's all a minor thing compared
to what I've done to them by my
writing!? I don't reply to his email
unless it's a public domain for all to
see, but now on, everything will be
exposed at VoC. If my writing was that
effective at revealing the crimes :
Thanks for your pains, I say.
Croatian
"elites" of all stripes are well aware
of such 7-year practice (and of a
website devoted to insulting me), but
they only congratulate him for being
such a maniac, when it doesn't concern
them. Normally, such practice ends up in
complying with silence: HDZ helps them.
I can
anticipate, from the ongoing pattern in
Croatia, that the government support
will rely on even worse characters who
will be of even higher honorable
professions than this lawyer or that "HDZ-USA"
coordinator. They received full support
of ex-prime minister who appointed his
successors himself, they please with
their abuses also those gambling and corrupt
ex-diplomats from Dubrovnik to Zagreb.
They ridicule as "failed" those students
whose careers were destroyed by corrupt
professors and deans who trade with the
exams and ask students to pay for their
obstructions, while they develop huge
businesses using their educational
position, from Sarajevo to Zagreb, so to
foster political, business and education
links in an organized criminal web. It takes perfect
idiots, thieves, gangsters, and
manipulators to persuade the public,
domestic and international, in their
ruling with intelligence and logic.
I also
admit that the way of intimidating the
opponents is not easy to address, but I
don't intend to embrace their
"liberalism" or "democracy" for they
should be able to develop some art of
"eloquence" and oppose my writing
without insults and abuses. They encourage others,
even with minor disagreement, to find
refuge in similar practice, whenever the
argument is lacking. Wrong address.
Their
strategies of "persuasion" surpassed the
well-known communist mythology and
practice, but HDZ elites always wished
to push the discussion down to such
"anonymous" level (that of Ivica Ban "Orsat",
Frank Bilaver, "gandalf",
"divlji cvit"..) -- so let them be, I will
address them and reveal the secret of
their underground, administrative skill.
As I should know pretty well who
continually runs Croatian underground,
it seems to be vain to expect some
support from the current Croatian "elites."
I never
met those idiots, but I could see from
the newspapers and their emails and
websites who some among them are. Why
would they be addressing me so? For
cowards among Croatian (ruling) elites
are too busy to state what bothers them
with my writing?
If they
destroyed my career, it doesn't mean I
will ignore or forget it, as my (former)
friends advised, all the way while
receiving such insults -- every day.
They should tell me why everything is
permitted against me and my website and
how they avoided it. For they can pay
for it? For they're without flaws? For
they can comply with treason? For they
can extract the wealth from Croatian
institutions (for which we sacrificed a
wholly lot) and re-invest it in their
impunity and political campaigns? For
Croatia is so divided that only those
who plundered it and who enriched
themselves on our sacrifices matter,
we're entirely insignificant to them, we
can only serve them and they owe us
nothing?
In
post-communist Croatia, divisions are
perfect, too: We're only to comply with
their perversions. Anyone can be a
lawyer in such a country and spend days
disturbing and insulting others... If
they complain that I refused
"communication" with them (for years),
contrary to HDZ wishes, voila, I
communicate...
Will I
really close the website as maniacs like
the rich lawyer from Dubrovnik Ivica Ban
"Orsat" insists, when the webspace
payment expires this November? Will I be
paying alone for everything? It's
certain that it doesn't work like that
any more, for I've never been part of
"silent majority" but now when they're
all rich enough to divide themselves
from us, I don't care. I can observe how
they're popping up with their
candidatures and wonder why they've been
silent against injustices all these
years, with all those means in their
hands! How did they earn such
opportunities for themselves, while
others struggle for survival? And still
VoC is the main target....?
This is
a prime example of slanderous "liberal
phase" in post-communist Croatia in its
transition toward "democracy" -- similar
to "social phase" of former Socialist
Federal Republic of Yugoslavia toward
"communist phase" and even worse, for it
blinded the country to its destruction.
Such Croatia, a "successful experiment"
is to be fought by all means. It's not
my Homeland.

Pendant que le gouvernement croate
promettait sa capture...
Le
Croate Ante Gotovina aurait bénéficié
d’un soutien français.
Par KARL LASKE
«Que "A.G."
reste là où il
est», a
noté Rondot, le
8 avril 2003.
"A.G.", c’était
Ante Gotovina,
général croate
recherché depuis
2001 pour
«crimes contre
l’humanité»
par le Tribunal
pénal
international
pour
l’ex-Yougoslavie
(TPIY) et
finalement
capturé en
décembre 2005
aux Canaries.
En avril 2003,
le général
Rondot, pourtant
très impliqué
dans la traque
des criminels de
guerre des
Balkans, est
envoyé en
mission secrète
à Dubrovnic.
Après avoir
rencontré l’un
de ses contacts
croates, il
écrit : «Gotovina
ne se rendra
pas.» Et le
directeur de
cabinet d’Alliot-Marie
lui répond :
«Nous y avons
intérêt.»
Les Français
voulaient sauver
la peau d’"A.G.".
Ils
envisageaient de
négocier sa
liberté contre
la capture d’un
autre criminel
recherché.
Carla Del Ponte,
la présidente du
TPIY, n’était
pas dupe. Elle
s’était montrée
«très
critique»
devant Michèle
Alliot-Marie, en
juin 2003.
«On la mène en
bateau,
résume Rondot.
Au sujet du
Gal
Gotovina, pense
qu’on freine.»
A juste titre.
Le 17 mars 2005,
Philippe Rondot
rédige pour
l’Elysée un
rapport sur les
relations de la
DGSE avec
Gotovina.
«La DGSE a
entretenu des
relations avec
les Croates à
partir du second
semestre 1991»,
explique-t-il.
Il s’agit d’une
«mission
d’assistance
clandestine aux
Forces spéciales
croates»,
qui a duré
jusqu’en 2000.
«Des
officiers de la
DGSE, sous
couverture, se
sont trouvés en
relation avec le
général Ante
Gotovina,
d’abord à Zagreb
puis à Zadar.
C’est ainsi
qu’en août 1995,
l’un de ses
personnels a
suivi le
déroulement de
l’opération "Oluja"
("Tempête") de
reconquête des
Krajinas par
l’armée croate.
C’est pour des
faits remontant
à cette période
que le général
Ante Gotovina
est aujourd’hui
poursuivi par le
TPIY»,
résume Rondot.
Rondot redoute
les «traces»
laissées par
l’action de la
DGSE. «Le
général Ante
Gotovina m’avait
fait savoir
qu’il ne
révélerait
jamais les liens
qui ont pu
exister, à
l’époque de la
guerre, entre
lui et nous,
écrit-il. Je
pense, comme la
DGSE, que ce
soutien français
pourrait être
mis à jour dans
le cadre d’une
enquête poussée.»
En avril 2005,
Rondot est
encore plus
clair devant
Michèle Alliot-Marie :
«Mon refus
de capturer le Gal
Gotovina par la
ruse : MAM
d’accord.»
Le procès
Gotovina s’est
ouvert en
mars 2008, sans
que ses «soutiens
français»
soient encore
dévoilés.
I
make a rare exception to post an article
joining current Croatian political
campaigns, for VoC has received it from
Mr. Ivan Prcela, a dear friend.
The article on
Croatian "antifascism"
(that is, communism) has some valuable
information though. Apart from what I
already said on political campaigns
below (and knowing how much one can
count on Croatian politicians and
"elites" overall, even or especially
after having worked hard for Croatia...
and being disappointed about it, but
that's over), I only wish to repeat to
my dear friend Mr Prcela that
today's "sacrificing at the Altar of
Patria" has been inversed into
sacrificing to The Hague (something we
can never agree with, although some
probably believed that throwing a few
human victims, even the most innocent,
over there would appease the
cold-blooded monster). The article is in
Croatian, although I received it under
English title.
Mr
Prcela and I had also a long
correspondence on
Medjugorje last weekend, hence I was
hesitant to publish it, for I refuse to
compare it to Lourdes so far.... Not
from theological point of view, of
course, but for the same reason of
refusing the union in treason etc... for
the effects... But the readers can find
many good points and it deserves to be
published. It's in English. I can only
note for general readership that the
communist Josip Broz Tito's picture in a
Croatian monastery didn't seem to bother
any of such writers whom Mr Prcela is
addressing...
Finally,
VoC has received a kind correspondence
from Melbourne, Australia, informing us
about their recent newspaper
Croexpress
and proposing to exchange the links.
We're also informed that they're
following VoC for years and we heard
kind words about it. Hence, In right
and service of our noble country,
let's click over there and see what's
the news.

Unity
in treason, reconciliation with treason
"Politics"
Photo HDZ USA
(Miomir Zuzul and Frank Bilaver)
And a little
"thank-you card" to their friend "orsy" Ivica Ban from Dubrovnik:
VoC, 24 Aug
2009
Croatian overall politics: Unity in
treason, reconciliation with treason
I'd like to inform my readers that
Croatian "lobbyists" go only more
berserk as new presidential
elections are approaching and the
current Sanader-designated
government is stumbling upon their
failed “European” politics…. The
abuse of my identity and of my site
material never stop; the invitations
even under my full name to join some
online groups to which I was never
subscribed are sent even to me!;
posting under nicknames on the
forums using my name and the links
to VoC as if it were me go on for
years, even by those who pretend to
hold the same views but still they'd
need my approval for such use or
abuse, wouldn't they?; regular
insulting emails and foolish
"analysis" where its "anonymous" (HDZ
inclined) authors reveal what in
fact they do and how they construct
the "arguments" (like in UDBa –
communist secret service times) and
placing my photo in most scandalous
profiles and context go very far;
and so on and on. They, of course,
are exposing their own weaknesses
since they can no more do other
damage: Their big idol resigned
along with other "untouchable"
failed politicians or ministers, the
irony being that they approached to
the European politicians
"non-European behaviour"…..
Thus
they're difficult to ignore,
particularly over the past 4 months
when it all intensifies…. Since
that's the dominant political
culture today, to which it is
impossible to reply in a civilized
manner, I must warn my readers
against all possible senders of such
messages…. they should be discarded.
My positions and contacts are known
to my loyal readers so they
shouldn't get in that trap.
But I also wish to calm them down by
saying that I'm not interested in
Croatian "elections" and "politics"
so they can stay away with their
typical maniac-style campaigns, for
most of the time, the elections were
fixed ("today we will choose", and
that's it), and they were only to
satisfy their foolish passions by
exposing all their "civilization"
(which they like so much to recall!)
and their hatred.
The reasons are following: Things
are really messy in Croatia, in just
every domain, and most politicians
comply in this way or another with
fatal deviations in Croatian
politics, history or else.
Obviously, brutal communist
illusions have left deep traces in
every field of activity and
permitted gross distortions: One can
call for civilized attitude (HDZ)
but pay a number of maniacs to
insult the opponents; one can defend
the Cross but promote even French
revolution which was to remove It;
one can call for surrendering of the
generals to the Hague and for the
support to the key prosecutors at
the top of Croatian government, but
preach what kind of honest and
patriotic politician Croatia needs;
one can speak of unity and
reconciliation without extracting
the treason from it (of the unity in
treason, and reconciliation with
treason – which I also propose as
the main add to most politicians);
one can praise Croatia as
predecessor of Vatican Council II
(History of Croatian literature) and
no one will recognize what it means
for history is mostly deformed about
just every period; one can promote
bi-partial system and suppress all
those that don't keep quiet about
great national ruin, only to be able
to say, look how bad others are, HDZ
is better; one can call for national
pride against EU requests, but give
support to the government at the
first difficulty, without tackling
in the core of the problem, the very
first conditions to enter the EU
(accusation of innocent people
before The ICTY)…. While it's
obvious what kind of criminals and
gangsters constructed the
"arguments" about Croatia's most
honourable people….. And so on and
on….
I read a recent article on a
Croatian site about Templars which
pretty much explains what's going
on. It describes the vices – even
those of homosexual nature – of
which they were accused by … a
homosexual (Philippe le Bel)!
Naturally, the author doesn't reveal
this, his point being that they
evolved into franc-maconerie,
although it's clear that nowadays
Catholic heritage (historical and
other sources) has been used and
abused of so to be deformed in the
name of some non-existent, cruel
humanism. As if Croatia has been
purged from real sources, and
acquires only those revolutionary….
I believe that all this explains to
some point why I wish to be left in
peace; I don't intend to pretend
that such deviations and treason are
all fine… If someone still calls
"politics" and "state" what's become
of Croatia today (with the winning
generals in The Hague), without
correcting huge injustices and
distortions, I consider them funny
politicians and that state a funny
"state" – "in banana" as former
prime minister said, after he worked
hard to ruin it…
Is it why VoC has been the favour
target by HDZ jackals and their
"anonymous" admirers all these
years? They can play their
"politics" and "campaigns" without
VoC, I'm really not interested. I
believed no one that calls oneself
Croatian would comply with such
treason and submit to such
politicians; no one would rest until
the injustices are corrected, but I
was wrong. It's criminal.
Some believe that Medjugorje
witnesses of Croatian faith, 30
million pilgrims, more than in
Lourdes, my dear friend says, but
one is sometimes so alone in
Croatian battles…. Innocent
Croatians are still in chains, so my
dear friends, I don't believe, such
(political) heresies would be
possible if Medjugorje were indeed
what they say… if it were equal to
Lourdes.
Isn't it a big time I said goodbye
to such Croatia and such injustices
and distortions….
Shall we fight them? I think I don't
wish to spend more time on such
heresies, but finally go to other
sources from which to learn. If they
do let me in peace… It’s no fun to
fight such idiotism.
IA@VoC
Ps.I
put this letter on my site, it ought
to be told.... for nothing of this
is to be tolerated any more….
I decided to offer this view
to VoC's readers (thanks to P.N. for the link), so to
consider the possible depths of Croatian treason.
I’m not competent to speak of Medjugorje as a whole, but
I’m entirely deceived again at seeing who reveals the “greatest
statutes of God’s Mother”
(say in Krka, Croatia, a few days ago) The honour
belonged to a recently resigned minister of Education
Primorac, whose merit was such that the universities
were selling the exams and diplomas to the students, and
such and such that he was offered to join the “advisory
team” of
Benjamin Netanyahu,
before he resigned (with PM Ivo Sanader)… (links in
Croatian).
The "greatest" (thief forgiven) at the ceremony among
them was also Miomir Zuzul… One of the most corrupt
Croatian politicians who occupied Dubrovnik monastery so
to teach his “diplomacy” etc. Whom you might have met at
VoC already, the mean man who likes to admit they did
some wrong things, and the promise of delivering
Croatian national heroes to the ICTY for it, he kept. He
said, “you will see it, we’ll do it….” And they did it…
Back to Primorac, now he promises Croatians “love,
truth, moral, hope and honesty”!!!! It's more important
than "financial crisis" which miraculously never knocks
on their door.
Frankly, some Medjugorje priests often found such guys
big: Primorac namely, as many others. Others must be
“too small” as long as they oppose their treason and try
to do something… pushed into desperation, so that
there’s no obstacle to treason.
These are just a few most recent examples of Croatia’s
current “religious” direction….The one that ruined
fundamental solidarity among Christians, to the very
core of the unity, so to forge the unity in treason, and
the devil knows which "higher theology"...
It’s so difficult to address this question for there
must be some (or even many) true priests in Medjugorje,
too, but there must be some explanation for destruction
of Croatian values too... And for human sacrifices, in
particular. The mean, rich and unscrupulous reign,
injustices are not corrected. If addressed (by an empty
talk with no action), it's only to make the mean guys
even more rich...
Although, my
personal reconciliation position is: I can pray for
Croatian priests, but not for their HDZ and similar
politicians…. never again. For me too, all priests weresaints, I was raised like that, but I’m no
longer sure. Rich, corrupt, traitors, voila their
“statutes”. May God forgive me if I’m wrong, but I'm
afraid I’m not. So who’s our enemy!? Inside. That’s the
question that hurts…
(....) In
Bosnia, while the Croatian third and the Serbian third of
that Frankenstein, are still Christian, they have, with NATO
bombs and tanks, been force into a second rate position to
the Islamic third, the so called Bosniaks. Even though they
had at one point the strength to defend themselves, they are
now far out gunned by the US/UK/Saudi/Egypt armed Bosniak
Islamics. Yes, even "moderate" Egypt was quite happy to ship
T62s to their Islamic brothers.
Anglos,
NATO, what have you created? (...)

(s uvodom VoC-a,
na 1. kolovoza 2009, na hrvatskom, za hrvatsko
čitateljstvo VoC-a)
Uvod VoC-a uz članak francuskih
autora na temu hrvatske vojne povijesti u francuskom
časopisu 39-45
Ugledni francuski vojni časopis "39-45", koji je
specijaliziran za posebne teme iz II. svjetskog rata,
uglavnom nepoznate javnosti, objelodanio je u svibnju 2009,
u rubrici "Dekoracije" i članak o zanimljivoj palici
ustaškog krilnika, vojskovođe, viteza Slavka Kvaternika.
Pomoćnik glavnog urednika, François de Lannoy,
nadilazi svaki polemički val (koji je inače od hrvatske
javnosti otklonio mnoge objektivne činjenice i zanimljivosti
iz hrvatske povijesti), te vrlo lakim i preciznim perom
novinara i umjetnika, ako ne povjesničara umjetnosti, barem
po kvaliteti teksta, puni 6 stručno dokumentiranih,
ilustriranih stranica francuskog magazina o hrvatskoj palici
iz II. svjetskog rata – simbolu časti vojskovođa – koja se
razlikuje od iste u većini drugih zemalja u Europi, prije
svega po sjekirici na svom završetku.
Gosp. de Lannoy – uz izgleda nezaobilaznu
suradnju s gosp. Christophom Dolbeauom, Hrvatima već
poznatim, vrsnim francuskim povijesničarem i književnikom,
koji je objavio više izvanrednih ili rijetkih knjiga i članaka s
hrvatskim, povijesnim i inim temama, i kojemu taj novinar i
urednik zahvaljuje za pomoć na kraju svog teksta – smjelo i
izražajno oblikuje jedno zamalo zaboravljeno razdoblje u
Hrvata: životni i vojnički put vojskovođe Slavka Kvaternika,
od obiteljskog krila do austrougarske časničke službe, do
proglašenja NDH u ime Pavelića, do imenovanja i visokih
odlikovanja u NDH, kroz niz drugih, kratkih biografskih crta
– svaka uklesana u odgovarajući povijesni kontekst –, sve do
njegova raskola s Pavelićem, odlaska iz zemlje, uhićenja od
strane Amerikanaca u inozemstvu, te izručenja jugoslavenskim
komunistima koji su ga potom u Zagrebu strijeljali.
Onda, i dalje bez ikakava polemička reza,
slijedi detaljan opis jedinstvene palice s posvetom
vojskovođi Kvaterniku od poglavnika A. Pavelića, kakva bi
nedvojbeno zanimala svakog povijesničara, vojnog ili
povijesničara umjetnosti, a pogotovo narod kojemu je
objektivno stalo do njegove povijesti. Autor, zapravo,
opisuje fotografije od Hermann Historica (Munich)
koje raskošnim umijećem krase, hrvatskim bojama, graviranim
hrvatskim grbovima, zastavama, tropletima, draguljima, a
napose junacima hrvatske povijesti (Berislavićem, Zrinskim,
Frankopanom), svileno ugodne stranice preglednog vojnog
časopisa (i da istaknemo jednu transatlansku nit njegove
distribucije: časopisa kojeg VoC lako nabavi na kioscima u
+u). Autor je pronašao čak i topor, fokos, ili baltu,
zasigurno nepoznate i većini hrvatskih čitatelja, a upravo
je to inspiriralo ne toliko davnog umjetnika koji je
originalnu palicu osmislio: naime, njezina ideja prodire iz
borbi hrvatskih vojski barem iz ranoga XVIII-og stoljeća.
Primjerice, balta, jedna vrsta sjekirice, doznajemo, bila je
omiljeno oružje pandura barona Franje Trenka.
Kako ilustracije, tako i napomene uz tekst i
kratki uvodi u fotografije svjedoče o ozbiljnosti i
eruditizmu oštrih povijesnih crtica, iz neopterećenih
francuskih pera! Autor se čak vojnički aktivno zanima za
držanje, odnosno manevar palice u različitim okolnostima
Kvaternikovih susreta u europskom vojnom miljeu njegova
vremena.
Tekst završava zasebnim povijesnim okvirom o
junacima hrvatske povijesti s vojskovođine palice,
jezgrovito prikazujući njihov borbeni put u međunarodnom
kontekstu – još jedno britko svjetlo na zamalo ugašenu
hrvatsku povijest, u Europi.
Napokon, Kvaternikova palica je bila na
aukciji Hermann Historica na 8. listopada 2008, s početnom
cijenom od 45,000 Eura, međutim nitko je nije kupio.
VoC zahvaljuje cijenjenom autoru de Lannoyu
na odobrenju od 1.
srpnja 2009.
da se tekst objavi na VoC-u. Posebno hvala njegovu
suradniku u tekstu gosp. Dolbeauu koji je uputio na ovu
zanimljivost (i časopis!) te posredovao u odobrenju. Imamo,
premda zasad samo na francuskom, malo zanimljive povijesne
svježine, iz Francuske – Hrvatskoj koja bi i sama trebala
skresati korov sa svoje povijesti.
Slijedi spomenuti tekst na francuskom, s
vrijednim ilustracijama na svakoj stranici.
Le 10 avril 1941, à la
faveur de l'effondrement de la Yougoslavie écrasée en
quelques jours par les divisions de la Wehrmacht, la Croatie
proclame son indépendance. Le nouvel état, gouverné
autoritairement par Ante Pavelic, avec le titre de Poglavnik,
se dote immédiatement de tous les attributs d'un pays
indépendant : emblèmes nationaux, monnaie, armée. La mise
sur pied de cette dernière est confiée à un fidèle d'Ante
Pavelic, Slavko Kvaternik, ancien officier de l'armée
austro-hongroise. Devenu Ministre de la défense puis Vice
président de l'État, Slavko Kvaternik est promu maréchal le
13 juin 1941. A cette occasion, il se voit remettre
l'attribut de sa dignité, qui, contrairement à celui en
usage dans la plupart des pays d'Europe (France, Angleterre,
Allemagne notamment), ne se présente pas sous la forme d'un
bâton mais d'une petite hache. C'est cet objet unique,
conservé de nos jours dans une collection privée, que nous
vous présentons ici.
Le maréchal
Slavko Kvaternik
Slavko Kvaternik
naît le 25 août 1878 à Vucinic Selo, dans le canton de
Vrbovsko, non loin de la frontière Slovène. Il est apparenté
à une des grandes figures du nationalisme croate au XIXe
siècle, Eugen Kvaternik (1825-1871), champion de
l'indépendance de la Croatie contre les Habsbourg et bras
droit d'Ante Starcevic, fondateur du parti national croate (devenu
ensuite Parti du Droit) et dont la politique se résumait par
la devise « la Croatie aux Croates ». On mentionnera aussi
les deux frères de Slavko Kvaternik : Petar Milutin, né en
1882, officier de carrière, tué en avril 1941 à Crikvenica
au moment de la prise du pouvoir et Ljubomir né en 1887,
ingénieur agronome, préfet oustachi (veliki zupan), mort en
exil en RFA en 1890.
Après ses études
secondaires, Slavko Kvaternik suit les cours de l'Académie
militaire et rentre dans l'armée austro-hongroise comme
officier d'état-major. Pendant la première guerre mondiale,
il sert notamment comme aide de camp du maréchal Svetozar
Borojevic von Bonja, chef de la 3e armée
austro-hongroise sur le front russe puis commandant en chef
des forces autrichiennes sur le front italien de l'Isonzo.
Il termine la guerre avec le grade de lieutenant-colonel et
la Croix de fer de première classe. Il avait auparavant
épousé Olga Frank, d'origine israélite, fille de Josip
Frank, chef du Parti du Droit, qui lui donnera trois enfants.
Olga Frank se suicidera en août 1941.
En 1918, au
moment de l'effondrement de l'Empire des Habsbourg, Slavko
Kvaternik apporte son soutien au Conseil National des
Slovènes, Croates et Serbes (alias Conseil de Zagreb) (1)
puis à l'État Souverain des Slovènes, Croates et Serbes (2)
avant de se rallier au Royaume des Serbes, Croates et
Slovènes (KSHSJ, dirigé par la dynastie serbe des
Karageorgevic. Promu colonel, il est dépêché dans la région
de Medjimurje que les Hongrois ont envahi et parvient à es
repousser. Il sert ensuite, toujours avec le grade de
colonel, dans l'armée du nouveau royaume avant de prendre sa
retraite en 1921. Rendu à la vie civile, il travaille
brièvement comme employé de banque puis se lance dans la
politique en adhérant au Parti du Droit dont le vice-président
est alors Ante Pavelic. En 1929, il rejoint l'Oustacha (31
et à partir de 1932, il contribue à la création des groupes
armés de cette dernière. Après l'attentat de Marseille
contre le roi de Yougoslavie Alexandre, organisé par l'Orim
(4) avec le soutien de l'Oustacha (9 octobre 1934), il est
interné au Montenegro. Relâché, il collabore avec le chef du
parti paysan, Vladko Macek tout en dirigeant plusieurs
groupes oustachis comme Uzdanica et Hrvatski Domobran.
En avril 1941, au
moment de l'attaque allemande contre la Yougoslavie, Slavko
Kvaternik dirige les insurgés oustachis de la région de
Zagreb. C'est à ce titre et au nom d'Ante Pavelic, qu'il
proclame le 10 avril 1941 l'indépendance de la Croatie, avec
l'assentiment de l'Allemagne. Associé à la « Direction de
l'État Croate » (Hrvatsko drzavno vodstvo) qui se met
aussitôt en place, il prend la tête du premier état-major et
s'attache à coordonner les forces oustachies. A l'arrivée de
Pavelic à Zagreb (15 avril 1941), il rentre au gouvernement
en qualité de Ministre de la Défense et se consacre
désormais à l'organisation de la nouvelle armée croate (HOS)
(5). Deuxième personnage de l'État, Kvaternik accumule les
fonctions et les honneurs. Premier assesseur du Poglavnik,
il est également membre du Grand État-Major Oustachi (GUS),
Ministre, de la Défense et vice-président de l'État (doglavnik).
Le 13 juin 1941, il reçoit la dignité de maréchal ou
vojskovodja dont il restera le seul et unique détenteur. Il
portera aussi le titre honorifique de krilnik oustachi ou
général (le plus haut grade opérationnel dans la milice
oustachie étant celui de colonel ou pukovnik). Enfin, le 11
février 1942, il se voit remettre l'Ordre du Trèfle de Fer
de 1ère classe, la plus haute décoration de
l'État indépendant croate, donnant le droit au titre de
vitez (chevalier) (6').
Mais l'ascension
du maréchal croate s'arrête en 1942. Suite à un différend
avec Ante Pavelic et à des divergences sur les orientations
politiques de l'État Indépendant Croate, Slavko Kvaternik
part pour la Slovaquie le 5 octobre 1942 et s'y établit dans
la station thermale de Piest'any. En décembre 1942, il
quitte le gouvernement et en janvier 1943, il abandonne ses
fonctions de ministre de la Défense. Gardant son titre de
maréchal en retraite, il s'installe en Autriche, à Semmering
(où Virgil Gheorghiu, dans ses Mémoires, raconte l'avoir
aperçu) puis à Bad Gastein. C'est dans cette ville qu'il est
arrêté par les Américains le 12 juillet 1945. D'abord
interné à Salzbourg puis à Gmunden et Glasenbach, il est
livré aux communistes yougoslaves le 9 septembre 1946.
Condamné à mort le 6 juin 1947, il est exécuté à Zagreb; le
7 juillet suivant.
La hache
Dans la plupart
des pays d'Europe (France, Angleterre, Allemagne) l'emblème
de la dignité de Maréchal se présente sous la forme d'un
bâton. Chargés d'une grande dimension symbolique, ces bâtons
évoquent les sceptres portés par les souverains ou encore
les bâtons de commandement eux-mêmes dérivés des anciennes
masses d'arme. Dans la Pologne indépendante de
l'entre-deux-guerres, l'insigne de maréchal de Pologne
adopte la forme d'une masse d'arme du XVIe siècle
(bâton avec une extrémité renflée). En 1941, les Croates
vont concevoir un bâton de maréchal complètement différent,
s'inspirant non pas des anciennes masses d'arme mais des
haches de combat des anciennes armées croates. Ces haches,
dont il existait plusieurs types, se nommaient topor, fokos
ou balta, cette dernière étant l'un des armes favorites des
pandours du baron Franjo Trenk (Franz von Trenk)
(7).
Le bâton du
maréchal Kvaternik, qui adopte donc la forme d'une hachette
(sjekirica), comporte une partie en argent, en partie dorée,
ciselée, gaufrée, émaillée et incrustée de pierres
précieuses prolongée par un manche en bois. '
Les deux côtés du
fer sont décorés de feuilles de rose sur fond grenelé. La
jonction de ce fer avec la partie haute du manche est
assurée par un collet gravé de l'inscription suivante : «
Hrvatskom Vojskovodji S. Kvaterniku-13 lipnja 1941.-
Poglavnik A. Pavelic » (« Au chef de l'armée S. Kvaternik-13
juin 1941-Poglavnik A. Pavelic »). Juste en dessous de cette
dédicace, se trouve le poinçon de l'orfèvre «GK» et le
poinçon d'argenture. La partie haute du manche, toujours en
argent, est richement décorée. Tout en haut apparaît un
entrelacs traditionnel croate (entrelacs à trois lignes,
appelé troplet ou plater), agrémenté de trois saphirs. Juste
en dessous est représenté l'écu croate, un échiqueté
d'argent et de gueules, avec de chaque côté un rubis, un
diamant et un saphir sertis, évoquant les trois couleurs de
la Croatie, le rouge, le blanc et le bleu. Sur le reste du
manche (partie en argent) figurent les silhouettes gaufrées
et assez finement ciselées de trois personnages surmontées
de leur nom: Berislavic en haut, Zrinski au centre et
Frankopan en bas (cf encadré sur ces personnages). Sous le
dernier personnage, un rubis, un diamant et un saphir sont
sertis. Le même décor est répété sur l'autre face du manche
sauf que l'écu croate est remplacé par deux drapeaux, aux
couleurs croates, entrecroisés et environés en haut de deux
rubis encadrant un diamant et en bas de deux saphirs
encadrant un autre diamant. Cette partie du manche,
entièrement en argent, est prolongée par une seconde partie
en bois, sculptée de cannelures avec embout conique en
argent également cannelé. L'ensemble de ce bâton-hache fait
78 cm de long. La partie en argent pèse 628 grammes.
Les photos
illustrant cet article montrent la manière dont était porté
le bâton en certaines circonstances. Lorsque Slavko
Kvaternik salue un interlocuteur, il tient son bâton
verticalement de la main gauche, le tranchant vers l'avant à
la hauteur de la poitrine. On ignore si, comme pour les
bâtons classiques, celui de maréchal croate pouvait être
brandi lors des revues ou cérémonies militaires.

LES TROIS
HÉROS DE l'HISTOIRE CROATE FIGURANT SUR LA BATON DE MARÉCHAL
DE SLAVKO KVATERNIK
Les concepteurs du bâton de
maréchal de Slavko Kvaternik ont choisie faire d'y figurer
les représentations de trois héros de l'histoire croate
s'étant distingué contre l'Empire Ottoman et l'Empire des
Habsbourg. Ce choix est à mettre en rapport avec la doctrine
prônée par les fondateurs du Parti du Droit, dont était issu
Ante Pavelic : le refus de toute domination extérieure et
l'autodétermination du peuple croate.
Le premier personnage
représenté est l'évêque Petar Berislavic, originaire de
Trogir, sur la cote dalmate, Bresilavic. Ban de Croatie (titre
équivalent à celui de vice-roi) de 1513 à 1520, Berislavic
se distingue dans la lutte contre les ottomans qu'il bat en
1513 près de Dubica. En 1518 il réalise l'exploit de
traverser les territoires occupés par les Turcs et d'arriver
jusqu'à la ville assiégée de Jajce en Bosnie, lui apportant
vivres et munitions. I1 est tué en 1520. Sur le manche de la
hache, Berislavic est représenté avec ses ornements
épiscopaux, la tête coiffée d'une sorte de calotte, tenant
dans ses mains une croix, l'épée ceinte au côté.
Le deuxième personnage est un
représentant de la grande famille Zrinski. I1 peut s'agir
ici de Nikola Subic Zrinski, ban de Croatie de 1542 à 1554,
défenseur de la Croatie contre les ottomans et héros de la
bataille de Siguet au cours de laquelle les ottomans perdent
18 000 soldats et 9 000 janissaires dont le sultan Soliman
le Magnifique. Plus certainement (à en juger notamment à la
tenue) c'est plutôt le petit-fils de ce dernier, également
prénommé Nikola, qui est ici représenté. Né en 1620 à
Cakovec, Nikola Zrinski participe aux combats contre les
Turcs avant de jouer un rôle important au service des
Habsbourg pendant la guerre de Trente ans, remportant
plusieurs victoires sur les Suédois et sauvant l'empereur de
la capture. Nommé Ban de Croatie en 1647, il s'attache à
défendre les droits des Croates. Héros de la lutte contre
les ottomans, il est connu dans toute l'Europe et couvert
d'honneurs. Mais en 1664 il est assassiné sur ordre de
Vienne qui conclut la même année une paix avec les Turcs. Sa
mort déclenche une révolte contre les Habsbourg, dirigée par
le frère de Nikola Zrinski, Petar Zrinski (dont il peut
aussi s'agir) et son beau frère, Krsto Frankopan et à
laquelle se joignent des personnalités Hongroises. Tous
reprochent aux Habsbourg leur absolutisme et une politique
trop conciliante à l'égard des Turcs.
Le troisième personnage est un
membre de famille croate des Frankopan. I1 s'agit ici très
certainement de
Krsto
Frankopan que nous venons
d'évoquer. Issu d'une grande famille croate qui donnera
aussi un ban, Krsto Frankopan prend donc la direction de
l'insurrection contre Vienne. Après l'échec de Petar Zrinski
qui avait proposé en vain la couronne de Croatie à Louis XIV
et au roi de Pologne et enfin le paiement d'un tribut au
Sultan, les insurgés demandent leur pardon et leur
réconciliation à l'Empereur Léopold
1er.
Ce dernier accepte, mais
à peine arrivés à Vienne, les insurgés, dont Krsto Frankopan,
sont jetés en prison et condamnés à mort. Zrinski, Frankopan
et le Hongrois Nadazy sont finalement exécutés le 30 avril
1671.

FRANÇAIS
Mes Aïeux - Le Repos du Guerrier
(encore une belle vérsion)
It is over. The agony of Mr Ivo Sanader’s reign was marked by rare
hypocrisy and unscrupulousness, during which he engaged the country into
the most catastrophic semblance of reality that was meant to please and
degenerate the electoral body.
He cleansed all real elites
from the state offices in all functional areas of Croatian state
activity (national security or military, economy, finance, education,
etc.). There’s no urge to remind Croatia of the reality of his failed
politics: His concilia of
“reformed” nod-heads who serve as no more than his “shadow” has been
quite telling, and scared! He certainly represented “half of the party”
and was “popular” on the scene in his own making.
The theatre man moves into
his backstage room, while on the parquet remain insolvent and indebted
Croatia who dearly paid the entrance to see his interminable play! The
horror of dramas he produced in honour of his HDZ and ICTY spectators
left the public speechless for a long time, for he was capable of even
worse. He staged his “credibility” at the “Altar” to which he sacrificed
Croatia’s best knights, with no fear of guillotine, but he dropped the
curtains and the audience can smell his waste.
His era is over, as no
people lives off false appearances. He went “home.” He tried to cover
his ignominious treason by re-invoking Franjo Tudjman, while he
destroyed all that was truly European in former Tudjman's party. He plunged Croatia
deeper into the Balkan mud than it was in the early 1990s.
Financially and militarily, Croatia is driven far away from the EU zone:
Its finances and headquarters are in the Netherlands, in whose prison Sanader and HDZ shipped off Croatia’s best, particularly European
officers, with an absolute zeal.
Croatia
is in “constituency” with the countries such as Armenia, Bulgaria,
Cyprus, Israel, Georgia, etc. It has little to do with the EU direction,
hasn’t it. His finance and defence politics are most revealing. What is
the key “legacy”
of his “European politics” that this gangster sought to implement in
Europe!?
In his own words: “Croatia will continue to support the Tribunal in the
belief that the ICTY is serving the purpose for which it was established
by the Security Council. As a member of the Security Council, and as a
member of NATO and a future member of the European Union, Croatia will
actively support the achievement of these goals, fully aware that they
will be the measure to define the Tribunal’s legacy.” Should Sanader
return to the politics: This it where he can place his candidature!
Thus the Great Beast (Rat)
became “popular”, unlike Croatia which is worse off than ever. Perhaps,
there’s no one “visible” to overtake the “sinking ship” within his own
party, which is overloaded with his besotted marionettes. It took him a
great effort to install them, and billions of foreign debt dollars that
he
wasted on their “European” image.
The anchor of borders with
Slovenia proved to be frail when Sanader cracked a code of nationalism
and produced his last, would-be patriotic play. In reality, this issue
has been his diplomacy’s failure from the beginning. This editor
revealed in 2000 that, contrary to Slovenia, Croatia didn’t figure as a
“maritime country” in the registers of North-American international
maritime companies. It didn't bother the prime minister: The person who was in charge of North American
department at the Ministry of Exterior and in Croatian embassy in North
America through all those years, with his own reference, has been only
promoted to the highest positions in his government as soon as he came
in power. Finally, she was his close friend (and perhaps still is).
Thanks to their “hard
work”, not even Croatian language appears as Croatia’s official language
(but “serbo-croate”) in official correspondence within the countries
where they operated, which is clearly their omission to inform foreign
institutions about the milestones of the young Croatian state, its
language being one of them.
Shall the former prime minister now
show off as a patriot, and not a coward, if he declares that he wouldn’t
give up a single Croatian word as he wouldn’t give up a “centimetre” of
Croatian territory! Should it be so easy to build a reputation on one’s
own failures, omissions and neglect! The coward is a word.
Generally cowardly and week
HDZ politics only confused Croatian people, deprived it of its basic
existential principles and values, and particularly of national
discipline, which will be difficult to re-establish and develop. His
buddies have certainly no credibility, courage or authority for it.
Pragmatic and “realist” as he is, Sanader runs away! His speech is a smokescreen
that cannot hide HDZ’s failures and contradictions.
Contradictory international
interpretations of his leave as well as of the current Croatia’s
position also testify of duplicity that his opaque government style made
possible. When they’re not strictly reserved, they serve various
agendas, mostly anti-Croatian. They range from dressing him into a
politician who’s been “worse than Tudjman” – to the one who left the
party to “Tudjmanist
hardliners” and “radical right-wingers”— to
the one who "transformed the party -- once a bastion of nationalism in
the Balkans -- into a Western-style conservative party". His double-talk
made impossible a honest appraisal in a clear-cut language and a straight political direction
of Croatia, which is his greatest achievement.
But, this is also a chance
for Croatia to reassess its reality and recover its national pride. His
hypocritical speeches don’t sooth even his compliant audience.
Clap-clap, the play is over.
If he or his party were
really “Tudjmanist” (the costume he hastily tailors for himself and his
HDZ party on domestic scene), there would be no vacuum in Croatian
politics, for there is
Miroslav Tudjman, Croatia’s presidential candidate, who has solid
reputation from his father’s era. He has never betrayed Croatian or
European values. When he played a major role in Croatian state, Croatia
was no more hated by the enemy but was certainly marked by some honour and
reputation; it had self-respect and was respected by other countries. Why HDZ and their media persistently ignore what he’s got to say, if
they’re
truly democratic. He’s not a minor player and we should be entitled to
hear what he can offer.
Mr Sanader underestimated
European politicians if he put that much effort to remove all strong
players. Unlike Sanader, Mr Tudjman (senior or junior) has never
persecuted or injured those who wished to contribute to Croatia’s
freedom and strength within civilized nations. Being an intellectual
himself, he didn’t need to fight intellectual elites so to appear great
and indispensible -- he worked with them.
Indeed, why our Europeans would need weak, dishonest
and faceless hypocrites to deal with?
Croatia
does have a better political offer than it seems, as well as a great
potential to normalize the current situation. HSP, SDP and other
parties, too, must have real talents to propose, but the media has never
given them objectively the space, unless they were Sanader’s close
allies. The effort of Mr Sanader to form an oligarchy with certain other
parties' leaders should be defined properly: They weakened Croatia
to the point of creating ominous national security risks and economic
chaos.
In
a supposed democracy of HDZ, all elections begin with: “Today we will
choose…..” (it's how Mr Vladimir Seks proposes Jadranka Kosor as HDZ
leader and prime minister to their electorate body!) Why Croatian people
cannot choose anything in that country on their own? It would be the
only guarantee of stable politics and partnerships.
Furthermore, Sanader’s
departure reminds of former communist Yugoslavia’s end. It’s due to a
majority of such "visible" lobbyists, politicians and players
that he deployed on
political scene. Their groggy-logy discourse is
getting unbearably reminiscent of the budget sessions of Communist Party
of Yugoslavia at the end of the 1980s, during spiral inflation.... It's
simply boring. But Croatia is not former Yugoslavia, and deserves a
sound and free political assessment by Croatians alone.
Neither VoC, being located
on another continent, wishes to interfere with Croatian politics – This
editor and webmaster has never engaged directly in it. But I do wish a
good luck to Croatia, with its talented people, without anyone meddling
into its interior affairs from abroad (and particularly from the US),
for Croatia is a big country – whatever their “lobbyists” may think
about it. It shouldn’t be an easy target for its enemies.
Sanader and his cowards
belong to the historical trash that will produce an unpleasant odour for
some time still, but finally, he’s gone. The end of Sanader is not the
end of the world nor that of Croatia – the "world crisis" of Croatia should be
the crisis of HDZ and Sanader alone, nothing more or less! For, they're
"world politicians."
VoC thanks to Miroslav Tudjman's PR
team for the
link to his site and proposes to
our readers to visit it. Mr Miroslav Tudjman is
Croatia's presidential candidate worth of respect.
Although Mr Tudjman doesn't fear to
face even Sanader at the next elections, on the contrary --
he'd like to, VoC proposes that
the latter places his candidature before the ICTY in the Netherlands --
he lobbied and served loyally only that suspicious institution through all these
years!

July 2,
2009
The
FT's Neil MacDonald in Belgrade reports:
Ivo Sanader's
departure leaves fears of a power vacuum as the government struggles
to resolve boundary questions with Slovenia, the neighbouring EU
member that has put Croatia's negotiations on ice.
He (Sanader) has also left the former Yugoslav republic in the
throes of plummeting tourism revenues, widespread corruption
allegations and an unfinished battle against organised crime.
Mr Sanader
denied that he would try to keep his grip on power by setting his
sights on the presidency next year. "I have decided to withdraw from
active politics and not to run for the presidency," he said.
His credibility started wearing thin in the past year, as "mafia"
violence struck Zagreb and the global financial crisis gutted
tourism and investment inflows. The economy shrank 6.7 per cent in
the first quarter, compared to positive growth of 2.4 per cent for
last year and over 5 per cent for previous years.
Mr Sanader
denied rumours that he was ill. Despite his protestations, he has
stayed on as the HDZ's "honorary president", perhaps leaving the
door open for him to return.
Over the odds that there would be no good
news from Croatia's way to Europe, Croatian prime minister Ivo
Sanader resigned as a prime minister of Croatian government and from ALL
political functions. He's also pledged not to run for president next
year! Bingo!
VoC might take now a well deserved summer
break after all these years.
Former HDZ's Minister of
Defense Berislav Roncevic has been proposed – in a parliamentary
epilogue to the countless corruption affairs out of which the top HDZ
politicians came out "clean" – for a position of the Assistant to the
NATO Secretary for procurement and supply. (JL,
30 Jul 2009 - HR) The opposition representative Nenad Stazic hinted to his 2004 purchase of trucks when
Miss Ojdana Zuzul -- currently employed at the Allied Joint Force
Command Headquarters Brunssum in The Netherlands – served as the
head of the commission on the purchase of the trucks. This
suspicious deal is said to have
damaged Croatia for 14.8 mil Kunas (about 2 mil Euro), while all other
offers were cancelled with justification that they were not compatible
with the NATO standards. Naturally, their justification proved to be
false, although various commissions were not allowed to see the missing
report of now Lieutenant Colonel (!) Ojdana Zuzul and the Assistant
Minister Ivo Bacic, nor to pose them the questions!
It seems that rather Croatian
military procurement and supply procedures haven't been in compliance
with the NATO standards, but that doesn't disturb HDZ on its way into
the NATO nor does it prevent it from appointing Lt Col Ojdana Zuzul for
a NATO logistics position in the Netherlands (2006) ! Following a nearly 5-year
long process of collecting the evidence, all HDZ obstacles being in
place and only partly removed, the police investigation would
be launched against the former Minister, and possibly against his collabos, too.
(JL, 30 Jul 2009
here and
here)
This affair reminded
Croatian public of other corruption affairs, notably, of that of former HDZ's Minister of Exterior Miomir Zuzul who had to quit his position so
to turn the spotlight away from his gigantic corruption affairs, stop
the leaks about it, and come out – "clean", as usual. Same as his cousin Ojdana who would teach military logistics in Bosnia etc.,
now, he calmly
intends to teach a "truly international student body" in
Dubrovnik's Dominican Monastery about economy, diplomacy etc.!
At risk are only those
who expose such affairs in today's HDZ's Croatia! Croatian top "leaders"
never look for the criminals but for those who expose them. We've seen it in
the exam trade affair: When the police arrest started, out of his
knowledge, encompassing even HDZ's "ethics" head for "conflict of
interests", Prime Minister Ivo Sanader publicly discouraged the
investigation: "I'd
like to know who initiated this!," he said.
In a more grotesque affair of
child prostitution, the person who encouraged the girls from the
educational center
for homeless children to report the politicians and other elites who
abused of them, has been proclaimed mentally unaccountable and is being
imprisoned, in spite of circulating dreadful photo evidence showing the
sexual act!
I hope it will be clear
soon that also certain "war criminals" have been imprisoned in The Hague
for they were preventing the war crimes! We've seen that
Mr Zuzul admitted "HDZ/we
did some wrong things" but real HDZ criminals are almost never punished
- they're the most successful at criminalizing and hunting the innocent
people. The most sinister accusations with no evidence whatsoever have
being forged by HDZ & al. particularly against those
who tried to impose the true standards, be it in Croatian military or in
any other area!

QUI NOUS A DIT QUE LE MOYEN ÂGE ÉTAIT SOMBRE ? (SUITE II)
M.
Charest a abordé l'épineuse question avec le commissaire à
l'Environnement à la Commission européenne, Stavros Dimas, lors d'une
rencontre à huis clos à Bruxelles.
En point de presse dans la capitale
belge, dimanche, le premier ministre a dit vouloir tout mettre en oeuvre
pour aplanir les irritants qui ont mené l'Union européenne à bannir les
produits du phoque, plus tôt ce printemps.
Le principal irritant est la mise à mort
des bêtes à coups de gourdin, une méthode traditionnelle dénoncée par
les animalistes, des personnalités comme Brigitte Bardot et Paul
McCartney et une brochette de politiciens indignés par les images de
blanchons ensanglantés agonisant sur la banquise.
«Tout cela est une question de
perception mais c'est une perception qui est fausse. Ce n'est pas vrai
que nous chassons les blanchons mais l'image a perduré», a fait
remarquer le premier ministre, en marge d'une célébration de la Fête
nationale du + organisée dans un parc de Bruxelles par la
délégation québécoise.
M. Charest estime que la méthode de
chasse au gourdin est tout à fait conforme aux normes internationales
mais est disposé à envisager une façon alternative d'abattre les bêtes
si cela permet de convaincre les Européens de revoir l'embargo.
«Nous sommes prêts à avoir cette
discussion s'il le faut. C'est peut-être une piste de solution. S'il
faut revoir la méthode, on la reverra», a dit le premier ministre. (Lire

Nous apprenons de
la Presse Canadienne du 27 juin 2009
qu' "un Canadien a été arrêté au Mexique pour avoir présumément
opéré un vaste réseau de pornographie infantile à travers le +, les
Etats-Unis et le Mexique." Il est "considéré comme un des pédophiles les
plus dangereux au monde."
Récemment, "Hydro-+

postés dans ses installations de la Baie James et un autre a démissionné
en lien avec une enquête de la Sûreté du + sur l'utilisation de
matériel pornographique. Ils sont soupçonnés d'avoir « visionné ou
propagé » de la pornographie."
Pareillement, "Bill
Surkis, un leader de la communauté juive qui fut d'ailleurs directeur
régional du B'nai Brith jusqu'à il y a deux ans, a comparu détenu au
palais de justice de Mt., cet après-midi [le 29
mai 2009], pour être accusé de possession de pornographie
juvénile." Etc. Etc.
En Croatie, nous avons
lu que même une
maison d'accueil pour les enfants
a servi d'un site de recrutement aux services sexuels pour des
politiciens et d'autres élites... mais on ne connait pas leurs noms.
De toute évidence, les "leaders" croates très
"créatifs" auraient beaucoup d'"innovations" à
apporter à l'OTAN et à l'Union européenne. Enfin, ils étaient souvent en
retard à leurs rendez-vous aux États-Unis à cause de leurs arrêts aux
bordels, ils ne recrutent au service de l'État le plus important que
leurs concubines aveuglement dédiées à leur politique "transatlantique"
et "européenne"... mais ils s'en vont "en avant." C'est ainsi que ces
crimes deviennent possibles?
Once they succumb to this
temptation, the threshold to an even greater commitment to gambling has
been crossed. This is especially true if they obtain money by loan fraud
or embezzlement. These kinds of crimes enable gamblers to rationalize
that they are not really criminals. The money is only "borrowed" so
no one is being hurt. But there is constant pressure to repay the money,
and counting on a big gambling win is seen as the only hope for doing
so. This extends the spiral of involvement from more gambling to more
and more illegal activities -- until the gambler is caught, seeks
professional help, or really does hit the big win. (NASA)
Mr
Neven Jurica hit the big win of 1,2 mil Kunas (about 166,000 Euro) as he
placed his bets on Croatia's 2008 lobbying budget. The year of 2008 was
marked by the government's betting that the "lobbying" in the US was the
most important. But this fellow seems to be a compulsive gambler
who has spent more time gambling in Los Angeles than at his work (JL,
23 Jun 2009)! We saw at VoC that Mr Zuzul, his colleague
who's "helping him a lot," had also spent more time in NYC than in his
office during his winning days, but we still don't know how he hit the
big win! But let's help Jurica for now...
NASA.
On Croatia's inside betting areas, a
very democratic president Mesic is very jealous: Germany, France
and England were not under communist rule (he's not jealous of that!)
but they "didn't have to "defend those who tried the criminals and even
sometimes brought the verdict out of court," he said in his speech on
WWII "antifascist combat." He's jealous because he wants to play
eternally his communist strategy for no charge at all and hide the odds
of the roulette wheel of his "democracy" such as
Huda Jama
and other massive graves that are being discovered on Croatia's way to
Europe... If the president of a state "of law" publically promotes
such "judgments" -- out of court, why does anyone still wonder about
recent assassinations in the heat of Croatia's streets, in plain day?

C'EST LE
BORDEL !
PERSONAL OR NOT?
VoC, 21 Jun 2009
Time to close the bordel of
US-Croatia "lobbying"...
In addition to my recent articles on my
"Choses
Merveilleuses" page at VoC, there are also certain recent
updates here
-- my very personal page -- on "successful experiment" in deep water,
which is Croatia for the USA over the past years. It explains at least
partly why this editor and webmaster cannot side with the US politics.
Personally, it's clear now that siding with the US would put me back
with the people for which I pretty much quit Croatia, once for good, as
they penetrate, through their US contacts, the international positions
through Europe.
I repeat that the Americans shouldn't be
pleased with such "successes"; in reality, they're not in American
interest. The attributes of their national security are being ruined,
too. In particular, their credibility in international partnerships
became irreparable, if it truly ever existed among the US policy makers
with respect to Croatia. Anyhow, the USA change too fast... Again,
honest people do exist in the USA as anywhere else, and my readers
shouldn't take me wrong... But their deceptive politics enter nearly all
professions and ruin them. What does it mean to be "professional" today,
after all. Blindly obedient?
Hence, I showed who joined their ranks
today and on what basis -- from Croatia's end. It's for the Americans to
reconsider how far they can get with that. Croatia may want to
reconsider its own direction, too, but, equally, it's up to Croatia.
I hope my time spent on certain lobbying
themes hasn't been lost. Now, that's it, I suppose. I lost, however, my
peaceful time for the prayer and for belle langue of my new
homeland, for its intense origin...
Things are not marvelous. The light of
natural reason and not that of petrol or bordels is what we need to
reestablish the order and partnerships. The truth and justice. The laws
belongs to moral science, and to God, and it's vain to expect that a
Human law forbids all evil.
However, I'm not indifferent to the fact
that in
Croatian Dominican Monastery the current teaching seems
to be that God loves the rich, regardless of the means they use
to acquire their fortune... , that the rich make the laws as they
suit them, and that anyone protesting can only be sacrificed at their
"Altar" because their glory is all that matters on the Earth. No Eternal
or Devine laws, no rules or measures that Catholic tradition taught us,
naturally.
Even without science, even if too
small, we should recognize the work of spiritual ruin wrought by the
money and by the violence of injustices. It deviates from reason, and
especially from St Dominic's teaching about love of truth.
Hence, some things go to Croatia to deal
with; some things go to God, the USA should stay away.
And this editor and webmaster goes her
way. If the "lobbyists" -- unable to refute VoC's arguments and to
accept the gage of the battle as honest men -- finally let me (perhaps,
I convinced them somehow that they should?).
Should I make sure: I don't intend to
apply to Zuzul's school but I appreciate the links provided by his
lobbyists. Where to find the money for diplomas from the thieves, even
if they win all the cases brought against them in Croatia?
They can certainly continue to study my
articles and exercise their "virtues" from their state-sponsored formal
and informal "public-relations" structures of porno-diplomacy. But they
cannot count on my participation: It's at their cost.
C'est le bordel. The lowest class, but
very expensive and Croatian government-sponsored. Even if the first
class, what's bordel got to do with reason? And with education?
And with defense?
If Croatian PM Sanader promised to
"modernize the Church" and the US "attributes" such as M. Zuzul,
N. Jurica and G. Soros "helped him a lot" to come in power; not to
mention certain Catholic elites; if he promised to "modernize the Armed
forces" and Miss O. Zuzul was his strongest attribute for the NATO
education of Croatia and neighboring Bosnia, from the Netherlands (!),
if he was also the "best lobbyist", the rest is domino...
Such was modern US-Croatia "successful
experiment".
An easy target that Croatia should have
been for the "lobbyists", it took even the ICTY so that the "experiment"
lacking in "professional staff" continues, and spreads. This very
suspicious institution of the ICTY exercises the sovereignty over
Croatia since its inception. This is the reality in spite of its lack of
“professional staff” from the very beginning (see The Lion, the Fox and
the Eagle, by Louise Arbour) up to now (Judge Patrick Robinson,
President, ICTY). Somehow it was hard to get this message through, in
spite of ever more striking evidence. It failed both as a political and
judicial tool, but not many people can state it clearly and officially.
Not even in Croatia, "cooperation" goes on.
It was so from the very first days of
terror reign on Croatia's territories during communist Yugoslavia: Only
unconditional cooperation with the communist party mattered as
the ICTY cooperation matters today for HDZ's so-called "integrating"
Croatia in the NATO and the EU. The false "educators", "leaders" or
"lobbyists" indulged in all kinds of outrageous behaviour don't bring
anything good to Europe. Apart from more injustices and more problems
with "professional staff."
At
least two major events in the US-Croatia lobbying zone attracted the
media attention since last year when I wrote about "Public relations and
governments" and the "Lobbying or money laundering." (here)
In one week.
First, my insisting on a
detailed expenditure list for Croatia's taxpayers regarding Neven
Jurica's
1.6 mil. Euro spent on "lobbying" in a single Croatia's US
office, in a single year (2007), contrary to PM Sanader's proposal to
President Mesic to resolve the issue behind closed doors, annoyed HDZ to
the point that I had to leave the academic amac-rb mailing list because
of their insults.
Now, we learn that Mr
Neven Jurica, the former US ambassador and current Permanent
representative to the UN for Croatia, proved to be incapable or
unwilling to justify his expenditures. He's said to have refunded
150,000 USD to the Ministry of Exterior from his pocket (!), but the
issue doesn't seem to be resolved. The Ministry just confirmed the
investigation had been ongoing for hundreds of thousands of unexplained
"representation" dollars. (HRT
and
JL, 20 Jun 2009 - HR).
Next, Miomir Zuzul,
Jurica's close ally and also the former US ambassador and former
minister of Foreign affairs in Sanader's government, made his "Lobbying
school" famous: His partner quit him for 2,5 million Kuna (about 350,000
Euro) spent just for traveling and "lobbying" instead for the University
(it's his "private money," he said) over the past 2 years, actually
since he announced that he occupied the Dominican Monastery so to
"privately" educate "truly
international student body" (I quote his website statement). (Dubrovniknet
and
JL, 18 Jun 2009 - HR). Would he be also willing to explain how he
came in possession of the symbol of Croatian Catholic heritage in
Dubrovnik built in the 13th century, or US-HDZ links serve as
an explanation in itself?
Finally, let's ask Mr
Zuzul to fill out his "application"
form and answer his "International Relations and Diplomacy" questions,
since he's "politically correct" and might be better informed about the
"person" or "event" that "had the greatest global impact in 2008?",
about the causes of the global economic crisis (thieves?) etc. Unless,
the answer might be the persons like himself and the events such as
"lobbying" or money laundering…. As for "the importance of Croatia's
participation in the UN Security Council?" – the answer must lie in
"lobbying" as well. Hopefully, his colleague Neven Jurica will elaborate
on that issue shortly – under official investigation.
Yet another criminal
issue (after exam/diploma trade) often dealt with by VoC has been on its
way to be proved – by official investigation in Croatia. Obstructed by
HDZ, but still...
I
removed all photos posted on 19 June and opened a new page, because
of the abuse etc..... but the rest is still worth noting....
----
A few photos as I'm replying to the unscrupulous
HDZ "lobbyists....." - sometimes
they're so stupid it gets even fun... It's particularly cynical how they
praise Sanader's trusted ally Miomir Zuzul and his lobbying successes,
and HDZ in general. It can be very fun, but not without concern that M
Zuzul possesses now even the
Dominican monastery in Dubrovnik dating from the 13th century! - so
to teach.... "diplomacy". So what can they teach: "HDZ
did some wrong things", M Zuzul admitted, and he said to be proud to
have been part of it! It must have taken a special "diplomacy" so that he
continues doing wrong things! And he'll also teach in that monastery:
.... international economics! How to get rich by imposing huge
expenditures to Croatia, selling or invading the country, and
successfully justifying all that! Meanwhile, his
relatives will "coordinate" the NATO's procurement and supply, and
give the lectures to others, for they used to run military business for
Zuzul's own profit in the MOD during and after the war, they can only
"advance". Of course, all committees and commissions always find
everything was done "right".... they're always "clean". Finally who
wouldn't laugh how "knowledgeable" and "experienced" they are -- indeed
so, when ruining and plundering Croatia and its historical, Catholic
heritage!!! Although, I cannot just laugh at this... Thieves and
gangsters overtook Croatia!?
With special
thanks to HDZ lobbyists who provided most of the above links in praise of Mr and
Miss Zuzul:)
Photos taken in front of my screen as I'm reading HDZ lobbyists : What
makes me laugh, is the fact that Zuzul lobby is so "successful",
while this editor and webmaster, as well as entire Croatia, knows so
well about their "successes" and "capabilities". While Mr Zuzul's wife
runs his "Lobbying school" in the occupied Dominican Monastery in
Dubrovnik, and his cousin Ojdana Zuzul, after managing Mr Zuzul's affairs in his
profit in Croatian military in the 1990s, becomes "One
of us" (page 27) at the NATO position in The Netherlands and thanks
the NATO for "supporting them on their way," Mr Zuzul still may write in
the "admission section" of DIU: "Two recommendations from those familiar
with your work (recommendations from family members or friends will not
be considered)." Ridiculous, unscrupulous. If I'm asked if I dare to
post my current photos: I do. Captured on 19 Jun 2009. But how do they
dare? What would Zuzuls educate us about? Things to be found out.
20 Jun 2009: Our "lobbyists" could see here how they scare me :) I might
indeed apply to Zuzul's "private" school in Dominican Monastery if they
send me more details (their links to diu.hr don't give sufficient
student information!), so that they don't laugh any more how I cannot
get my Msc. title and diploma in spite of all my courses passed and
master thesis timely mailed to Zagreb (in 2001!). While the fact is: I
cannot pay for their mistakes and sabotages, their constant regulations
changes so that they be "in compliance" with law etc. etc.
Their diplomas are worth
nothing today! Of course, I cannot get my diploma in spite of
all work done on my end (they're not used to giving the titles for hard
and honest work but just for the money and obedience to them!) since the
current Faculty Dean was the best friend of the president of my thesis
committee and PM Sanader's advisor! Such connections do change (ruin)
one's career in Croatia! And I was supposed to pay even for that!? They
must be too fun. It's not worth neither to me a tiny penny any more :) I
hope the police will continue to do their work. As for me, I'll be happy
enough that my writing about corruption in Croatia's education,
as
indicated at VoC (fr), too, proved to be a subject of police
investigation in Croatia, although "it wasn't the government [HDZ] that
was doing that" - certainly not!
I only now learned
Zuzullobby has occupied
Croatian Catholic heritage - the Dominican monastery in Dubrovnik,
dating from the 13th century! For years already! With support of HDZ, of
course! As HDZ lobbyists copy-paste the photos scanned from my old
documents (God knows how they got them) via their "anonymous" forums so
to praise HDZ, Mr Zuzul and his cousin
O.Z. (Photo O.Z. posted by Ivica
Ban "Orsat", her true admiror:)) saying that I don't dare to post my
current photos, I wrote a little comment here. If they believe that the
NATO and Rotary Club support them along with HDZ & their PM, we still
can say how they do, correct? They don't honor the NATO at all. Contrary
to the declaration of PM Sanader that the NATO will "defend" Croatia --
Zuzul/HDZ "lobbyists" only defend, via NATO now (?), what they stole to
Croatia! And they think this editor and webmaster is "jealous"! Can
anyone rational be jealous of such thieves and gangsters?
The gangsters and murderers, protected and
honored in Croatia
Professional murderers trained by former secret, Yugoslav communist
services still thrive in Croatia today -- as long as they serve against
Croatians. The law protects them (20 years after the murder involvement,
they're entirely clean), they occupy the most sensitive, highest
positions in the Government service, they testify at the courts against
other Croatians, they transmit their "expertise" to their family members
who inherit their placement in the government through their criminal
"merits".
Such is the case of
Josip Perkovic. Under
international warrant of arrest, he's listed among 19 most wanted
criminals in Germany, the information about whom is worth 5,000 Euro in
the EU countries. He was involved, with certain others, in
murder of
Croatian emigrant Stjepan Đureković in München (Germany) in
1983.
Even in the early 1990s, when present
Croatian president was still in HDZ, and well afterwards, Josip Perkovic
continued his career in Croatia's military establishment with a
particular focus on Croatian emigrants returning to Croatia to help to
defend the country. Paradoxically enough, he was "qualified" for
interviewing and selecting highly placed personnel issuing from Diaspora
in Croatia's Ministry of Defense. (There are still some unexplained
murders of Croatian emigrants joining the Croatian armed forces...)
In "reformed" Croatia, Josip Perkovic's
son Sasa holds the position of national security advisor in president
Mesic's office. Thus his "secret hand" in national security affairs of
Croatia got extended, in spite of his old age.
Just recently, he appeared in the Court
in Split, Croatia, as a honorable citizen and sworn witness in a process
concerning some secret service affair from the early war-time days of
Croatia's independence : He testified against the suspects supposedly
having kidnapped and interrogated the two of his former colleagues from
the Yugoslav secret service. If he happened on the other side in such
affair, if they were loyal Croatians, they'd probably be killed. (Some
news about it can be found in Croatian,
here).
If Croatia were to join the EU and adopt
its legislation, he should be extradited. Whence more and more frequent
hesitations are expressed in recent declarations by Croatian top
leaders -- the gangsters and murderers, protected and honored by the
president of Croatia and HDZ government, find it difficult to comply
with the EU standards. For, they're so professional in hurting Croatians
-- to death.

CROATIAN GOVERNMENT HEAD TODAY (cont'd)
Tractors in Zagreb
VoC, 12 Jun 2009
It wasn't difficult to
anticipate...
The farmers gone in their tractors,
by 4 PM yesterday, Croatian prime minister appeared the day
after and withdrew the deal made with them on his government's
behalf. He is in the 5th speed at the end, when "changing his
mind" (lying to the people so quickly) because Mme Minister
Kosor did represent the government in yesterday's negotiations.
Suddenly, the appropriate ministry (Agriculture) needs to
"examine" in detail all the points agreed with the farmers, PM
says.
Normally we don't even know what
the government signs in its agreements all over the world, not
to mention the "details." More amusingly, PM's trying to tell us
finally who's doing what in Croatia - thanks indeed.
To mention two examples emblematic
of today's politicians: As if minister
Kosor had something to
do with the Homeland War or its veterans (much less than with
farmers!), or his former foreign minister Zuzul, a pediatric
psychologist, with being a diplomat and "consultant" for Bechtel
and then a branch director for Livingston and Moffett and then
his minister... Cheers!
If we only checked "appropriate"
"functional area" of all his staff right now, his argument would
fail. But he believes to have succeeded to fool the farmers,
once more. Congrats to the "most successful" PM ever. They'll
probably "appreciate" it a lot : Everyone should know by now
that he rules only by cheating and lying.

The government down!- Dolje
vlada!
No
wonder Croatian farmers said they wouldn't like to live in the
city since they spent the night outdoors waiting for politicians
in Croatian capital to address their claims.
Croatian students, who also
recently protested, paid them a visit overnight so to show their
support.
A student was arrested for
"blocking the traffic" (along with about 300 tractors lined up
nearby?) . The media speculates it was because he whooped: The
government down!- Dolje vlada!
As nothing seemed to be enough to
assure successful negotiations, the southern border with Bosnia
was blocked at the checking point by another group; more on the
ready to join up from surrounding villages.
Thus, the government reps' showed
up and promised to fulfill 80% of the farmers' claims (only if
they'd quit Zagreb by 4 P.M.). PM Sanader didn't show up but he
sent Mme Kosor instead. The ministers' faces require no comment.

ZAGREB TODAY: Negotiations failed...
Tractors in Zagreb
VoC, 10 Jun 2009
Zagreb blocked by several
hundreds of tractors...
Croatian agricultural sector was
promised the milk price increase based on their production
inputs price increase. However, only the citizens pay more to
the stores, which have already increased their distribution
price based on false promise to the peasants! It was yet another
electoral promise the government all too easily turned down. But
the milk producers across northern and central Croatia decided
to talk to the prime minister Ivo Sanader in Zagreb ; thus, they
invested the last money left to them in transportation cost so
to get to Banski Dvori -- by their tractors.
So far the PM refused to allow them
the access or to meet them. They wait on the streets, then at
the Trade center Velesajam in Zagreb until they solve their
problems... They brought up a set of requests that would enable
them to continue production. They complain that their production
cost due to daily input prices increases has become too high and
they have no longer what to live off. (VoC)

BBC - REMINDER
HDZ gangsters – and the Americans our “liberators” still en
vogue
"We [HDZ] are fully committed to fulfill everything we need"
- Zuzul
We
could imagine the wealthy gangster Miomir Zuzul in The Hague
only on the other side of the trial bench in the process against
the Storm : Zuzul lobby was far more explicit in anti-Serb
campaigns (when it was popular, after the Storm) than average
patriots and most soldiers who were just happy the occupied part
of Croatia was free….
If
VoC's loyal reader informs us that
Holbrooke, in his book "To End a War", openly and unflatteringly
referred to the Croatian army as his "junkyard dogs" - we can
see from Zuzul's past interview to BBC that only HDZ is capable
of doing all that's required.
Zuzul's
BBC interview reminds us, in his own words, that HDZ did "some wrong
things" and he was a proud collaborator, but they're "clean"
now. HDZ always does all
that's "required," it's just that they have a "new approach."
Hadn't he spent his ambassador
career "lobbying" in the NYC more than in Washington,
D.C. where his office was to be in the late 1990s?
VoC's reader wonders
again: "When he was
an ambassador, Zuzul was at the same time a consultant for
Bechtel which is very unusual. How can one properly serve two
masters ? In most countries, this wouldn't be permitted, would
it ?" No, but
he's an
incredibly rich man today. It's what matters in Croatia.
Liberated in "mysterious" ways from all gigantic
corruption
affairs brought against him a few years ago, Zuzul is making
his comeback to tell us that Croatia wouldn't be free without a
faraway USA so to encourage the ongoing submission... "The
Storm wouldn't happen if the US said 'No'" -- he informs us.
Today,
when the US deceitful agenda shouldn't be a secret for anyone. But
he still represents it, at the ICTY now, on the wrong side of
the trial bench. HDZ gangsters are still en vogue.

OBAMA AU CAIRE
Si le diable
est dans les détails... si, si
Cyberpresse, le 5 June 2009 (Ajouté
le 7 Juin)
L'appel musulman - si le diable
est dans les détails... :
«Je considère comme une de mes
responsabilités de combattre les stéréotypes négatifs à l'égard
de l'Islam, où qu'ils se manifestent», a assuré le président
Obama.
«Je suis
chrétien, mais mon père est venu du Kenya, d'une famille qui
comprend des générations de musulmans, a-t-il dit. Enfant, j'ai
passé plusieurs années en Indonésie et j'ai entendu l'appel du
muezzin à l'aube et au crépuscule.» Un peu plus tard, il a
ajouté: «On a beaucoup parlé du fait qu'un Afro-Américain du nom
de Barack Hussein Obama pouvait être élu président. Mais mon
histoire personnelle n'est pas unique. Ce rêve de perspectives
d'avenir pour tous ne s'est pas encore réalisé en Amérique, mais
sa promesse existe pour tous ceux qui viennent sur nos côtes -
ce qui inclut près de sept millions de musulmans américains dans
notre pays qui jouissent de revenus et d'une éducation plus
élevés que la moyenne.»
"As
far as I'm concerned, what really matters is the clash between Christendom
and Islam, which begins with the advent of Islam and is continued to the
present day."
"The
most extraordinary moment was when Monsieur Jean-Pierre Raffarin--then
French prime minister--in a speech in the National Assembly on October 8,
2002, was speaking of Saddam Hussein. He said, "One of Saddam Hussein's
great heroes is Saladin." And in case his listeners in the French chamber
didn't know, he said, "It was Saladin who was able to defeat the Crusaders
and liberate Jerusalem.".... Liberate..
Les partis de droite ont remporté
une victoire sans appel sur les socialistes lors des élections
européennes de dimanche, à l'issue d'un scrutin marqué par un
nouveau record d'abstention.
Why the gangsters give a measure of
legacy to Europe (including Croatia)
"In the context of the ICTY exit
strategy, discussed was also the storage for archiving documents
when the tribunal ends its work. The prime minister [Sanader]
proposed that the archives be stored in a neighboring country
that is under the ICTY jurisdiction." (Vlada.hr,
3 Jun 2009)
Without commenting an already
insipid "precision" and "transparency" of PM's statements (the
devil is in the details),
it's worth noting that this must be
also an important "measure
to define the Tribunal’s legacy" to be imposed to
Europe and NATO. So far, no EU/NATO country would handle its top
military documents in such an irresponsible manner --
without even knowing where they'll end up. Sanader might be a
model to Europe -- the US "stick" extorted from him unbelievable
things, he did deserve a carrot, and a place at their table. The
US "carrot and stick" strategy just works with him.
The pity is that
even the most honourable Croatian generals had to end up in the
ICTY prison -- with no evidence of their war crimes whatsoever
-- so that the US and its intermediaries in Europe get in
possession of the most detailed, and even most secret, military
plans of the region. Congratulations to Sanader and Mesic.
Is Europe ready
for such a "legacy" in their own backyard? Shouldn't it rather
help release innocent victims from the ICTY -- and even their
own legionnaire General Gotovina, before it's too late.
For, Croatian
government, is not really Croatian nor European: The gangsters
shouldn't give a measure of legacy to Europe by falsely accusing
and persecuting the innocent men to whom entire Europe owns a
lot. Even if supported by the US, or especially not then. The
very origins of Christians civilization, in all its military and
ethical dimensions, are menaced. The lobbying qualities
of gangsters, approved by the US lobbies, count the happy days
and tailor their career prospects in Croatia and Europe, while
the innocent people are ruined.
Finally, a
honest evaluation of the ICTY inherent practice of unjust
accusations and internments, by qualified, unbiased European
staff is overdue. Something the ICTY and Croatian government are
missing dearly - and they cannot hide it. Correcting huge
injustices should be a moral imperative for all European
policy-makers and diplomats, as much as it's our own, at VoC.
The problem of Staff: The ICTY
and Croatian government
There's
no crisis for Croatian politicians, there's no that particularly
Croatian, historical sadness
in the eyes which we normally find on the faces of the patriots
who fought for Croatia (European, yes) with honour and principles.
Croatia's government pages [hr] were full of self-praise
again; well, they've got "positive marks" from NYC regarding their
cooperation with the International Tribunal for the Former
Yugoslavia (ICTY). We've seen already how much the
evaluation
costs in Croatian scheme: Everything can be bought and sold
under the table.
Particularity of
Government's trade with the ICTY reposes, however, in protecting
gangsters (as long as they serve them) and ruining the excellent
men. Hence, ICTY-Government Coop is going well.
For once,
there's a reasonable explanation for PM Sanader good standing
among big and mighty human trade center (Croatia remains guilty,
though; wait and see below).
Judge Patrick Robinson [En], President, ICTY, gives it out –
something you won't find at Vlada.hr:
“If we continue
to lose staff at the rate of 27 per month it is not an
exaggeration to say that one day the judges may come to work and
find themselves alone. The Tribunal is doing all it can to
retain its staff, but without appropriate assistance and
concrete measures it will not be successful.”
So they get along
quite well: Government of Croatia, too, has a problem of
professional stuff. Yet, it doesn't prevent it from promising
again, the qualified personnel –
in the future [hr]. Perhaps their Committee for conflict of
interests will sell the school exams more expensive now on.
Yet, they never
get enough of justice – can Europe imagine a Sanader (popped up
by NYC as usual), LOBBYING for exporting the "successful
experiment" of "legacy" to Europe, where he hopes
some day to
obtain a powerful position.
The agenda is no
longer a secret, Sanader is a would-be legalist (if not an
American hand) of Europe :
“Croatia will
continue to support the Tribunal in the belief that the ICTY is
serving the purpose for which it was established by the Security
Council. As a member of the Security Council, and as a member of
NATO and a future member of the European Union, Croatia will
actively support the achievement of these goals, fully aware
that they will be the measure to define the Tribunal’s legacy.”
Let's remind us,
who's to define the measure of "legacy" in EU and NATO:
Gangsters in Croatian government [En]. It doesn't bother the
ICTY. They need no professional stuff, but real criminals. As
partners. Poor Europe –the "successful experiment" keeps
spreading.
The journalists
who normally accompany Sander to the USA see him already as the
only candidate for president. Speculating on the latest local
elections failure of HDZ (Vukovar, Split, Dubrovnik etc.),
suddenly, the PM who likes to control all (interpreting here
Mladen Plese), is not responsible himself but his
local HDZ branches [hr], the "populists" and "rigid
nationalists". It doesn't bother the same journalist to note
that Sanader is the only one who's popular in HDZ and Croatia!
Very much! Like G.W. Bush.
Hence, they're
satisfied, which allows them to elevate PM Sanader as the only
presidential candidate that can inherit Mesic's place, once he
quits HDZ president and Croatian PM position where he "accomplished his
political mission" – of ruining Croatia, its patriots, and its armed forces.
But Plese hides
that Sanader "changed the place of residence" (on the paper only
and for so many times by now) so to run on the list where HDZ
calculated it would have most supporters. It's how he was more
"successful" at local elections than his HDZ branches.
So much about
a model of "democracy in development." So much about their "democratic",
"tolerant" manners that make them so content.
Well, yes,
there's still something original in this "experiment." They
allow for one real candidate, Zagreb's local sheriff Bandic from the
"opposite" strongest party SDP, but he won't present his
candidature if PM Sanader decides to become a president (which
he already did decide), Bandic will run Zagreb and fight Milanovic -
the head o his own party. Sanader and Bandic make but one
party, one man.
Hence, they're
eternal. Instructions are out. Why then vote at future
presidential elections when all is predetermined. They place their
own men in the opposite party, and voila – democracy, all those
goodies of "ex-communist" country become indispensable. Europe
cannot wait for such a model (and the US even less so)?
For the moment,
Croatia is promised to have them for good; while it's deep
into
"world crisis" Sanader and Bandic alone can manage. The crisis will be
"more severe and last longer"
in Croatia then elsewhere, informs the public Sanader's
journalistic fan. All's good for the PM, still. When all is
over, Sanader will get a great position within EU and NATO. The
"qualified personnel" prospects are promised a great future
in Europe. So they say.
Congratulations.
Evidently,
there's no crisis for Croatian politicians, there's no that
particularly Croatian historical sadness
in their eyes which we normally find on the faces of the patriots
who fought for Croatia (and Europe) with honour and principles.
The NYC gave them a boost of confidence,
although the problem of professional staff should have been
addressed professionally, long time ago. Dismissed: both
Croatian rulers and the ICTY that internationalized the
injustice.
Without "powerful" envoyees like Sanader, the "legacy" of the ICTY cannot be applied against
NATO/Europe soldiers. We've seen it already, guilty will be those
who don't bend to the American way of delivering "justice" and war.
It explains why
Sanader got the carrot - after the stick.

European Commission - Lorenzo Natali Prize 2009 (Cont'd)
VoC, 4 June
2009
Dear readers:
Thank you for your timely
suggestions for submission of an article to
EC-Lorenzo Natali on a "democracy
in development" which is Croatia. I hope you won't mind that at
the end, I submitted - This is not a joke.... Perhaps it
wasn't your first choice, but...
No one from the government of
Croatia and their allies seemed to be willing to participate in
this democratic decision-making process for selection of VoC's
article; unless they're too slow to accelerate via modern, fast-paced
democracy machine - I thought they said they were in the 5th
speed...
Being so democratic and
transparent, unlike Croatian politicians, I hope
ProPager / Prix Lorenzo Natali won't mind that I
share with you my
"Summary of journalistic work content as well as of its impact
in English" - for which we can thank them, in particular, since
they'll will give their precious time for its evaluation:
"This
is not a joke: Zagreb politicians feel like in Beirut, and still
safe?" evaluates the commitment to democracy,
freedom and human rights by Croatian authorities and powers of
influence through a set of their confusing and treacherous
responses to blood-bathing, educational and other Zagreb
scandals: Murder of Pukanic and Franjic of Nacional and Ivana
Hodak; university exams trade; interference with justice, etc.
It throws a new light on Croatia’s "successful" politicians
mocking of justice, misinterpreting and undermining the World/European
reactions and even its citizens. "This is not a joke…" drew a
serious attention of Western institutions, think-thanks and
media and increased international concern for freedom and
security in Croatia – beyond unconditional self-praise of
Croatian ruling elites.
Justice and Freedom are priceless. Even if this article doesn't
win the Prize.

Chez nos voisins américains..
Sans la justice, en effet, les
royaumes sont-ils autre chose que de grandes troupes de brigands ? Et
qu’est-ce qu’une troupe de brigands, sinon un petit royaume ? Car c’est
une réunion d’hommes où un chef commande, où un pacte social est reconnu,
où certaines conventions règlent le partage du butin. Si cette troupe
funeste, en se recrutant de malfaiteurs, grossit au point d’occuper des
villes, de subjuguer des peuples, alors elle s’arroge ouvertement le
titre de royaume, titre qui lui assure non pas le renoncement à la
cupidité, mais la conquête de l’impunité. C’est une spirituelle et juste
réponse que fit à Alexandre le Grand ce pirate tombé en son pouvoir.
-A quoi penses-tu, lui dit le roi,
d’infester la mer ?
-A quoi penses-tu d’infester la
terre, répond le pirate avec une audacieuse liberté. Mais parce que je
n’ai qu’un frêle navire, on m’appelle corsaire, et parce que tu as une
grande flotte, on te nomme conquérant. »
Saint Augustin, La
cité de Dieu, Livre IV, Chapitre 4 (De
la légitimité des brigands)
On a lu
tout récemment de nombreux articles/analyses américains faisant
appel à une nouvelle "guerre froide" (pendant le conflit entre la
Géorgie
et l'Ossétie
du Sud).
Pourtant, le
président américaine Barack Obama n'eut pas scurpule à annoncer,
le 30 mai 2009, «une nouvelle approche globale» pour protéger les
réseaux [de communications], non seulement gouvernementaux
mais aussi privés.
"Participation is not voluntary..."?
Ainsi frappera-t-il l'Amérique d'une "liberté
individuelle" jamais vue en URSS/Russie? Du moins certains le
craignent en Amérique : voir
l'article de l'Agence France-Presse
(San Francisco).
C'est quelque chose
de tout nouveau pour le "marché libre," "libre échange" et
"fair-play," qui promet des abus gigantesques sous le couvert
de la sécurité... Il reste au président Obama de bâtir le mur de
Washington, sinon entre nos pays..?
Quant aux Canadiens,
cet "approche globale"
permettrait au président américain d'agir sur la globalité du
système commercial : la clé de la réussite commerciale et de
la bonne gestion est d'ailleurs une bonne information.
Cela changerait
les plans d’expansion des entreprises
canadiennes, n'est pas? Selon les sources officielles,
l’investissement canadien direct aux États-Unis a atteint 226,1
milliards de dollars en 2007 - l'espionnage commercial/industriel américain
s'appellerait donc Barack Obama. L'Amérique est en crise...

Au

Five thousand, nine
hundred and fifty-four so-called enemy aliens, of whom more than four
hundred and fifty were of Croatian origin who had immigrated to +

L'Amnistie Internationale n'avait pas le coeur dans

Une solidarité bien étrange. Qui nous a

Le premier ministre du + Jean

importation des produits du phoque sur son territoire, à compter de

Au contraire, "M. Harper a dit qu'il n'hésiterait pas
à recourir aux tribunaux internationaux pour protéger l'industrie
canadienne du phoque." (La

L'industrie est importante

"THE YOUTH DAY" (COMMUNIST TITO'S BIRTHDAY
COMING SOON)
OUR "YOUTH"
VoC, 23 May 2009
Whose problem is this, buddies?
Viva Democracia, Viva Tito
We recently heard from Croatian minister
of interior, Tomislav Karamarko, a foreign policy statement - well, one
no longer knows who's doing what over there; the backslide Ministry of European
integrations used to do the job - , Croatian youth was a
problem of
Austria (and its police). Then, Tito's communist "youth,"
in Kumrovec, should be someone's problem, too, but no government's
body comments their buddies...
HDZ's government likes to hear fat
ovations in Croatia. Much louder this year than the
last one... With some
newborns - in spite of overall sterile politics of Croatia. It's a
miracle. Tito's grandson announced his arrival. And some clowns,
too, are singing for us, and saluting us. Whose problem is that,
ministers?
The World Criminal No 4 (correct me if
I'm wrong) is re-born - Viva Democracia, Viva Tito. Thus "Tito is a
legend - socialism doesn't die," they say...
Huda Jama (one of many sites of
Tito's victims) is not a "legend" though. It must be a problem of
Slovenia, then?
Croatia's
"Bushs, McCains and Obamas" (HDZ) - Criminal and Hypocrite
Croatians must claim back $5 million award
- and their General - from both the USA and Croatian government
What makes it so plausible to assume that hypocrisy is the vice of vices
is that integrity can indeed exist under the cover of all other vices
except this one. Only crime and the criminal, it is true, confront us
with the perplexity of radical evil; but only the hypocrite is really
rotten to the core. (Hannah Arendt)
If HDZ politicians thought to proclaim
themselves Croatian "Bush", "McCain", "Obama" ("HDZ-u
treba McCain [& Mr Sanader], a ne Obama",
JL, 31 Aug 2008), and do as they like - less than a year
after, it should discomfort a little even their "models" in the US. Who
they really think they are?
Last year, HDZ's highest officials and
ministers distributed among themselves the roles of US politicians in
anticipation of new presidential elections in Croatia. PM Sanader was
probably supposed to continue to play the role of Balkan Bush, and
Minister Hebrang, loyal to him almost unconditionally opted for his
devotee McCain. Whooh, HDZ likes to be tough towards Croatians, tougher
than the USA. But, HDZ's Secretary Jarnjak decided that Obama was more
sympa (should M. Tudjman formally join together with HDZ), saying that
he'd like Obama to win in the US while HDZ "still didn't discuss about
their [HDZ's] party's Obama." Minister of Education Primorac found,
however, that HDZ's presidential candidate should be "a combination of
McCain and Obama" while Minister Kosor preferred McCain (and Palin) for
"Obama's time was only to come" although she refused to compare US
elections to Croatian ones...
Finally, the US is no longer proud of the
situation HDZ government's "Bushs, McCains and Obamas" created in
Croatia and the US ought to wash its hands, a little too late. Indeed,
Croatian politicians don't seem to be able to rule themselves, not to
mention Croatia and "South-Eastern Europe." They were only able to ruin
Croatia and what was best in it. The list of their evils is hard to
follow since then.
If they acted as tyrants, liars, and
immoral gangsters towards Croatia, Europe and the rest of the world in
the name of Croatia's image, they should consult recent reports in the
US (even
WSJ!): They made Croatia look
almost like Afghanistan (VoC has always warned about "afghanistation" of
Croatia and the "region") - shall they be invaded soon?
Their "American" dream seems to be over,
too.
Shall they now admit foreign judges and
prosecutors into Croatia so that they be, at last justly, investigated -
as proposed by WSJ? Years ago,
they sought help of, and
admitted into Croatia
MI6 and other foreign
agencies so to hunt Croatian Homeland "war criminals" upon falsely
accusing a number of them. Their diplomatic effort resulted in
$5 million award put on the head
of Croatian general by the US, while the US Journal claims now to have
invested in vain $500 million in Croatia since 1997/1998. Croatia
obviously used it for strengthening their gangster rule, and for their
all too praised "full political support for the ICTY." That's what their
"unconditional" cooperation with foreign courts meant, but now they're
offered a chance for real investigation, based on real crimes. Shall
Croatia's "Bushs, McCains and Obamas" accept it?
Still today, the US sends
Biden to discipline the "region"
- and still with prior Croatian support ("Catholic
friar advised Biden" JL, 25 Aug 2008). Who really
disposed of USA's $5 million, that is $500 million invested in
injustices? What millions mean for them after all - they get it
"overnight" in Croatia. Croatia has become an attraction for foreign
trade, and for trade with innocent people's heads, too. (Sanader used to
threaten us, “The heads will fall.”)
If others conveniently forget it, at least
those that still call themselves Catholics and Croatians shouldn't. We
should claim back at least those $5 million, from real Bush, McCain and
Obama, and/or from those who called themselves so in HDZ. Otherwise,
they should stay away from Croatian affairs - the latter ones, in
particular - if there's an ounce of dignity still to be claimed by
Croatians. And if we really care about Croatia's national security - a
precondition of economic freedom as well.

Modern political Croatia in pictures
VoC, 17/18 May 2009
A few loving political pictures of
today's Croatia...
General Glavas's son (on the left)
burns HDZ flag upon the verdict pronounced against his father (10-yr
prison) - who regrets that he helped the
monster of Sanader to come to
power. SDP qualified his verdict as internal HDZ's turmoil,
the result of which is that Glavas was convicted for war crimes. His new
party supporters (on the right) promise political retaliation. HDZ probably wanted to prove it was capable of condemning its
high officials...
Hence, "the highest" gangsters still
rule Croatia, although "David against Goliath" combat has only now been
announced between HDZ and SDP (local elections in Croatia), although the
visible parties all look like Goliath to ordinary honest citizens - too
small to be seen by them. Ah, where have they been when "David and
Goliath" played and re-played....
"Mr Bush will defend us" after all, as
PM Sanader announced recently; on the way to Afghanistan... Those two
Croatian guys in the middle seem to be ready for... for war, don't
they... (on the left). On the right, some "WWII" faces at recent
Bleiburg commemoration; hard to tell who looks more innocent and excited,
those on the left, or those on the right
- but only the latter ones excited Croatian Minister Tomislav Karamarko
who said, however, it was a problem of Austria.... Thus, the apolitical
readers might subsequently conclude that those on the left are the problem of the USA.
Yet, none of such intimacies present a
novelty in Modern Balkans: Tadic (Serbia) and Sanader (Croatia) seem to
get along quite well, as well (in Belgrade, 20 Mar 2009). And his
"secret" lobbyists ask if this editor still believes in love: Of course.
All of them, too - it's logical. So much about foreign affairs in the
picture of the Balkans. What Croatian government thinks (if we may
know), is it good or bad? Finally, it costs so much... The EU and NATO
seem to have gotten very expensive (and not very fair) partners. But neither
the past should be forgotten (on the right).
And shouldn't they relax a bit...
They're doing all this for us? Wooh.
Not once, Croatian governmental
persecutions, falsifications and confusions deserved the title of the
Treason of the Century at VoC. All corrective comments, based on
publically available sources and many (contradictory) statements by
Croatian government itself, were considered by the "secret" governmental
"lobbyists" as espionage, sabotage, and so on and on. For they were
going into the NATO, into Europe. And how far did they get? (more)

Dear
[ALL]:
(....)
I cannot
follow all the news on a continuous basis, but I believe I captured
pretty well the essence of it : Unfortunately I was right about
Croatian governmental practice.
Only this
evening I could listen to the entire report by BBC (I will add an
important remark below, if I may) while I read quickly other news
right away.
We see from
all this how HDZ’s policy failed : They simply neutralised Croatian
resistance to crimes and corruption by advocating the view that it
would take a generation or two to get rid of communist practice;
hence, they embraced such practice today as “most successful leaders
ever.”
Unfortunately, one of the key tools of crime progression was the
ICTY; the cost of destroying Croatian forces and its best
Western-trained officers will only grow in the country with ill
defined right to defense and not to mention notions of war crimes –
it only served as a blackmail to the corrupt members of the
government.
It’s ever
more costly not only in terms of security but also in terms of
economic development. With almost half of the state budget input in
defense in the 1990s, the country might have incited positive
spillovers through all sectors like in number of other countries
that were faced with high defense expenditures. Croatia had a set of
circumstances conductive to it but the politicians were busy with
securing their short-term personal gains. (So many authors can show
this: Hitch & McKean; Hirschey, Papas, Payne, Sahu; Quade E. S.,
Schiller etc etc etc)
There was no
real economic policy, which could be justified to some extent by the
war condition and reconstruction of the country except for those who
only sought their personal profit… But today it seems to be a real
chaos. One is simply not smart if he or she didn’t get rich…
The high
governmental officials simply don’t have the skills to integrate the
positive external pressure and reforms with the existing system –
the changes are rude and unstable and serve only the purposes of
proving a compliance with external demands (theoretically only);
evidently, both the assessment of current situation and
decision-making on the future path are confusing, unclear, and even
inconsistent. Croatia is now in the situation that it was able to
skip in the 1990s: it produces different reports and gives different
public statements for different parties: one for the NATO, other for
the EU, and yet another for domestic public and so on and on; I
wonder if their messed-up paperwork surpassed the communist
bureaucracy… One cannot even read it more than couple of pages (I
tried to read some stuff on their foreign affaires site, or whatever
it’s called; I gave up quickly….)
I wonder
that the EU and other international organizations don’t see this; at
least they don’t buy their diplomas like many belonging to Croatian
elites… I wouldn’t doubt their expertise, but it’s worrisome… It’s
a poor way to train local talents in Croatia….
This brings
us to my next point [...]: I agree that the economic freedom is
necessary, but like you and other mainstream media people say, there
are no rules. The transparency rules can only help assess the
current situation but they cannot solve the problem of economic
freedom (based on skills, hard work etc.).
And about
executions: Their threats no longer sound stupid and funny. I
didn’t follow all details, hence I’m restraining from serious
comments about involved interest-parties. However, we can see that
Croatian top politicians purged all opposition so to impose their
gangster rules (not so long ago, president Mesic called Mr Cacic a
“gangster” – but then they all found their common interest…)
Finally, let
me return to BBC report: I would like to mention another reason I
make a note on security-economy linkage (without even mentioning
security precondition to economic freedoms and vice versa– I adopt
here the term from AI reports so to skip some development theories
well-known to us on the West… I assume we understand what it means…)
BBC offered
a great report, but it showed certain insensitivity regarding the
crimes in 1991 Vukovar. How such a tragedy and heroic battle (one of
the greatest in military history of the past century) can be put in
the context of crimes and corruption that erupted on such a
wide-scale today? It hurts, even if it comes from BBC…. We mourn all
innocent victims and we honour war-time Vukovar, it shouldn’t be
dirtied by what the criminals do. As for the rest, bravo. It informs
us much better than Croatian media. (I will re-read.)
Sincerely,
IA@VoC

"(...) The level of media freedom is at an all-time low in
Croatia and it is worse than the days under Croatia's
authoritarian ruler Franjo Tudjman," said Joel Anand Samy,
co-founder and trustee of the Adriatic Institute for Public
Policy. "Our independent think tank is aware of reports from
independent journalists and media groups in Croatia receiving
death threats and even direct warnings from Croatian
politicians. In a number of cases connected to investigative
media reports, Croatia's government officials have imposed
censorship. Croatia's state-controlled media and the
government's significant ownership in the economy which
is manifested through providing media advertising
revenues further undermines media freedom. Those directly
affected are its citizens and taxpayers."
Freedom House Executive Director Jennifer has urged the Obama
Administration to take notice of the rising threats against
journalists around the world.
"(...) ...many citizens of the
countries of southeast Europe would
be grateful to the EU and NATO if
these organisations would more
explicitly pressure governments in
the region to curb corruption.
The freedom that membership in such
organisations is meant to strengthen
and protect is otherwise exposed to
attack and erosion on its crucial
economic flank. The risk may not be
felt in Brussels or in this region’s
halls of power, but we citizens feel
it in our bones.

Mesic can mock only of human victims caused by his former ideological

his character doesn't change. It is mad to condemn expressing reverence
to the victims and not the perpetuators (but it's a trend in Cro gov't).
Thus the cat must have been mad...

Proud - of what (cont'd): Vojni Ordinarij proud, too...?
VoC, 7 Apr 2009
Follow-up on 7 April 2009 : Proud - of what?
Treason - with the blessing of Catholic Church in Croatia? or
Catholicism of Judas
I wrote
[on 14 March 2005] that there were little good
news [in Croatian] emerging from the NATO
Seminar in Dubrovnik, Croatia, opened on March 12
[2005],
with the quest “Towards Euro-Atlantic Integration: Progress and
Challenges in Southeast Europe,” organized by the NATO
Parliamentary Assembly in cooperation with the Croatian
Parliament. It’s when Canadian senator Pierre-Claude Nolin
insisted that [falsely] indicted general Ante Gotovina cannot
remain free if Croatia will begin any serious NATO membership
negotiations.
No HDZ's general
or HDZ's high official present at this Seminar opposed
this “logic” [general Ante Gotovina is French legionnaire as
well]: They all obeyed and consented to make "sacrifice" in
living men. Real
criminals
will never be punished, US diplomats signalled….
But then we didn’t know that
Croatian treason was so deep, that I. Miklenic from Glas Koncila
(Voice of Council) would be declaring “bonne nouvelle” -
« Finally a compromise » ["Ipak
Konsenzus," i.e., "Union in Treason", 18 Dec
2005] when general Ante Gotovina was arrested in Spain and
shifted to The Hague. He should be sacrificed for Croatia as
Jesus Christ, various voices calmed down the faithful Croatians
who were about to protest…
Today,
when the head of
Military Ordinarij Juraj Jezerinac [in
Croatian] – ignoring a deep problem and strange contradiction
(paradox!) of global military politics - claims that by joining
the NATO “our Catholicism will get even more opportunities for
its realisation”, it is as if the Church gave, once again their
support to Croatian politicians for their treason. In nomine
Patris et Filius et HDZ (Sanader and Mesic)….
More
than that, it is revealed to us, once again, that we don’t share
the same security concerns and the same “Catholicism” (as if
Jesus Christ told his apostles to surrender! And not to fight
for their faith etc.)
This is
yet
another sign that Croatia is betrayed – from top-to-down…by
Croatian elites. The Church officials have also participated in
this treason, very actively. We know all that, but sometimes
we’re not such "believers."
We're
not proud, as Bush and Obama, of Croatian treason.
Hence,
it’s not “our Catholicism” nor Catholicism of Croatian people.
It’s a path to a “higher theology” – that is not our own, as
announced by historians of "global religion", from the milieu of those who
tailor modern global wars. It's "Catholicism" of Judas.
Why
Croatians should be such "Catholics" while The ICTY trials are
going on? Why such humiliation? It's not for our faith, to be
sure.
So we should believe that Bush and Obama are new "Saint
Louis" for the HDZ and Church top officials in Croatia? While they are
golden servants who will equip their wars and spread our Faith...
What an inversion of the Faith...
Finally, Saint Aquinas, can you believe this?

Proud
– of what?
Is the
NATO, too, losing direction?
Early this month of April
2009, on the way to the NATO summit in Baden-Baden, Germany, several
world leaders, not very much admired through their national top-down
or down-top military structures, expressed their satisfaction with
Croatia’s prospect to enter the NATO. Canadian press showed briefly
a picture of Canadian prime minister Steven Harper with Croatia’s
president Stipe Mesic – also the last president of former communist
Yugoslavia.
Croatia
signed some protocol again so to start the NATO entry procedure
together with Albania – non-transparent for the public, same as
recent “Mediterranean union” protocol under not-so-popular French
president Nicolas Sarkozy's guidance. (In
Croatian: Hrvatska
primljena u mediteransku uniju)
“It will be easier now to
remove the Slovenian obstacle towards Croatian entry into the EU” –
encouraged is Croatian prime minister Ivo Sanader, as if Slovenia
were Croatia’s enemy, as he regularly tries to convey to Croatian
public via media….
For almost a decade and
half, all Croatian talks of the EU entry only serve the false elites
so that they remove the best Croatian soldiers of the Homeland war
far from Croatia's life (even those Western-trained!), and open the
path to old communist style of governance in the silence of complot.
The US president Barack
is naturally proud of such Croatian ally (In
Croatian: Obama: Ponosni smo što nam je
Hrvatska saveznik). Meanwhile, Strasbourg
is burning…. (In
French: Strasbourg en «état
de siège»)
It’s a bad omen for
Europe, all together.
What is this dangerous
turnabout that NATO makes in Croatia, which relies on such
compromised politicians?
If there were an ounce of
pride in all this, Croatia would have refused all military talks
with NATO as long as its best, innocent, western trained generals
are tried at The Hague’s tribunal. Until they’re liberated of false
accusations. But the ICTY does the job for the US according some US
sources (Charles Ingrao,
in Croatian: Znam da SAD nije htio uhititi
Karadžića).
For whom Croatian
government really does the job on its presumed way either in NATO or
in the EU (the latter being only a symbolic talk that the government
has already begun to wind down, all treasons being put in place)?
What does Croatian government – while
making the world elites so proud –
aspire to via international institutions, at a horrible price for
Croatian people?
The same shadowing issue
accompanied Croatia’s seat in UN Security Council : Croatians have
been quickly informed that their representatives would get above
their own national interests (not to be mentioned!) and play some
international role that has never been defined clearly regarding
Croatia’s advantages. Only the losses…
So far, all the public is
being clearly informed about is that the former communist leaders
and their obedient allies are the qualified personnel to lead the
country into the “Euro-Atlantic” integrations; that NATO will cost
a lot Croatia, both in blood (Afghanistan etc.) and in money (annual
membership fees and investments), but if that blood is spilled for
Croatia’s defence (Homeland war) they can only be tried as criminals
at various tribunals; that Slovenia will obey Croatian authorities
now when they’re supported by NATO; that Croatia must exercise its
influence (pressure) so that the
Lisbon treaty be ratified (finally, some role in EU to play!),
etc.
Given all the facts on
the ground, NATO sounds almost like a threat to Europe!
As if the so-called
privileged partnerships in the spirit of "more
reforms and less nationalist talk" in the region were forged against
Europe – not even the enemy of Croatia is known. Slovenia perhaps.
Italy? Several years ago Mesic clashed with Italian authorities. And
who knows who’s next in Europe... Only the “leaders” are
privileged.
Is NATO definitely losing
its direction via its move in Croatia? Croatian government has
certainly lost its own. The “year of the Balkan” is marching in the
unknown: If they march so proud, we’d like to know against whom
really.
If president Mesic was
praised in 2000 for not depriving Croatian people of a different
view but of the arms (In Croatian:
Crkva i opozicija), they
advanced to the point to block every clear sight of the
opportunities (advantages) and the risks (threats), of enemies and
allies.
There are no objective
views, no clear visions about these issues in Croatia. In the
worst-case-scenario, they cannot be heard; in the
best-case-scenario, they don't weigh anything in Croatia's
decision-making.
Not
a single member of the JNA

grave that was explored is in the vicinity of the central
Slovenian city of Lasko and can be traced back to the year
1945. The discoverers required more than half a year to
thrust their way into the site of the mass grave. As they
unearthed the corpses they could not believe their eyes:
hundreds of them were revealed in the deep recesses of the
mine in a well preserved mummified condition protected from
any outside climatic conditions. (more)

Un cœur de pierre de la
"justice universelle" dite
américaine, mondiale
Los Angeles times a
divulgué une partie bouleversante du C.V. de Jovica Stanisic,
ancien agent secret communiste yougoslave et puis le chef du
renseignement serbe à l'époque de Slobodan Milosevic, à côté
de qui il a travaillé pour la CIA pendant 8 ans.
Face à cette divulgation,
Le Courrier des Balkans du 28 mars
2003 (PDF) nous montre quant à lui, par
un bref exposé perçant sur la biographie de Jovica Stanisic,
que même aujourd'hui la politique américaine vers les
Balkans et environs se développe et structure à fortiori
sur modèles et personnel identiques aux anciens services
secrets communistes, préférablement (mais pas uniquement)
serbes. (Nous avons déjà vu que
M. Bush
va "défendre" la Croatie dans le flux des
nouveaux adhérents).
Vu le carnage des guerres balkaniques,
cette mondialisation semble être plus "transparente",
"libérale" et sanglante que dans l'époque de la
bolchevisation où les États-Unis étaient en urgence continue
de financer le tyran communiste yougoslave Josip Broz Tito,
un éternel "bon leader" dans les couloirs
"démocratiques/"libérales" pro-américaines
presque partout en
Occident officiel actuel.
Donc si les
massacres balkaniques furent possibles dans les années
1991+, ce n'était pas autant pour le compte de Milosevic que
pour ses alliés quasi "démocratiques" qui avaient prévu la
défaite croate en 48 heures. (Vu l'embargo sur les armes
imposé le 25 septembre 1991, la Serbie seule en possession
de l'arsenal militaire yougoslave). (Merci
Vukovar etc.).
Quoi qu'en dise la CIA, les faits sur le terrain -- là où la
révolution américaine n'est jamais tranquille -- témoignent que la
haute trahison et le carnage général comptent seuls parmi
les "contributions" chères aux mondialistes dits
américains.
As Milosevic's intelligence
chief, Jovica Stanisic is
accused of setting up
genocidal death squads. But
as a valuable source for the
CIA, an agency veteran says,
he also 'did a whole lot of
good.'
It was here in 1992, as the
former Yugoslavia was
erupting in ethnic violence,
that a wary CIA agent made
his way toward the park's
gazebo and shook hands with
a Serbian intelligence
officer.
Jovica Stanisic had a cold
gaze and a sinister
reputation. He was the
intelligence chief for
Serbian President Slobodan
Milosevic, and regarded by
many as the brains of a
regime that gave the world a
chilling new term: "ethnic
cleansing." (...)
Now facing a trial at The
Hague that could send him to
prison for life, Stanisic
has called in a marker with
his American allies. In an
exceedingly rare move, the
CIA has submitted a
classified document to the
court that lists Stanisic's
contributions and attests to
his helpful role. The
document remains sealed, but
its contents were described
by sources to The Times. (more)
WASHINGTON |
Jovica Stanisic, ancien chef
du renseignement serbe
inculpé de crimes contre
l'humanité par le Tribunal
pénal international pour
l'ex-Yougoslavie (TPI), a
travaillé pour la CIA
pendant la guerre des
Balkans, rapporte lundi le
Los Angeles times.
Pendant sept ans, M.
Stanisic fut le témoin
numéro un des faits et
gestes de Slobodan
Milosevic. Il a été inculpé
par le TPI de crimes contre
l'humanité et de crimes de
guerre contre des civils non
serbes pendant les guerres
en Croatie (1991-1995) et en
Bosnie-Herzégovine
(1992-1995). Il est
notamment accusé d'avoir
participé avec M. Milosevic
à une "entreprise criminelle
commune" pour créer une
Grande Serbie.
Jovica Stanisic, qui risque
la prison à vie, plaide non
coupable.
La CIA a envoyé au TPI un
document confidentiel
détaillant les contributions
de M. Stanisic et témoignant
de son rôle positif dans la
résolution du conflit en
ex-Yougoslavie. (suite)
Sous le nom de Harry
Potter est désignée
une opération de
grande envergure
présentée comme un
divertissement pour
la jeunesse : sept
livres édités depuis
1997 et mondialement
diffusés, et cinq
films. Sous couvert
de fiction, il
s’agit en fait
d’initier les jeunes
à l’occultisme et à
cette forme
particulière
d’occultisme qu’est
la magie. Il était
donc très important
de bien montrer
qu’Harry Potter
n’est pas une
nouvelle fable pour
temps modernes,
aussi innocente que
les contes de
Perrault, mais une
action subversive
qui mérite d’être
étudiée à fond.
En 1957, Alphonse de
Parvillez constatait que
l’incessant progrès des
moyens d’information a
tellement accéléré le
rythme de notre vie que
nous sommes débordés,
assourdis, ahuris,
secoués, bousculés, et
contraints de parler,
d’écrire, de décider,
d’agir, sans avoir eu le
temps de réfléchir ni
même de nous informer
avec précision. Même les
livres sont parfois
élaborés en toute hâte,
parce que telle question
est actuelle aujourd’hui
et sera dépassée demain.
L’attention du public
est un phare tournant et
son faisceau lumineux
n’éclaire chaque point
qu’un instant.
En 2007, soit cinquante ans
plus tard, l’esprit de
l’homme moyen, encore plus
fragmenté qu’une ampoule
fracassée, voit encore moins
les choses comme elles
doivent être vues. Chaque
jour, son marathon l’épuise
et l’éparpille ; et même si
son devoir l’assoit quelques
minutes pour jeter un coup
d’oeil aux livres des
enfants, il n’en fera jamais
qu’un très rapide survol.
A-t-il vraiment le temps de
rien approfondir ?
Au cours d’une entrevue en
2002, Alexandre
Solzhenitsyn, disait que sa
réputation d’oiseau de
malheur était largement due
à l’inattention du public
: « C’est la conséquence
logique du fait que
les gens ne lisent pas,
ils survolent
les écrits de façon très
superficielle. » Par contre,
Harry Potter n’a pas été «
élaboré en toute hâte », car
son auteur y a mis tout le
temps nécessaire ; le temps
de maquiller comme il faut
sa série, d’en vernir tous
les coins de plusieurs
couches brillantes, de sorte
que l’adulte qui ouvre un de
ses livres ne voit pas le
problème et ne comprend
vraiment pas pourquoi on
l’attaque tant… Entre
l’adulte pressé et l’auteur
qui a eu tout le temps de
peaufiner ses livres, la
partie n’est pas égale ;
elle est même très injuste.
Voilà pourquoi la critique
existe, car, dit encore Pie
XII, c’est « une des formes
les plus appropriées pour
empêcher que le mal se
répande et surtout qu’il
soit sous un prétexte ou
l’autre divulgué comme un
bien. »
Confirmant la chose,
Alphonse de Parvillez
déclare très justement que «
ce n’est pas une attaque ni
une injuste violence que de
constater les erreurs ou
l’immoralité d’un livre ou
d’un film. » (suite)
Si M Sanader
est du nombre des
élus du
président de République de
l'époque, Franjo Tuđman,
c'est beaucoup à prétendre
qu'il doit sa carrière
politique en "5e vitesse" et
ses relations
privilégiées
politiques de l'espace
mondiale uniquement à lui.
Il est
doué d'une culture du
mensonge d'un goût
littéraire :
un spécialiste du dramaturge
Jean Anouilh auquel il a
consacré sa thèse de
doctorat.
Voici donc 3 citations
tirées du théâtre de Anouilh
et qui sont à méditer :
"Quel étrange plaisir de
réaliser ses mensonges"…
"Il ne faut jamais dire la
vérité : c'est elle le vrai
désordre"…
"L'essentiel est de dire
quelque chose de très gros
et de le répéter souvent,
c'est comme ça qu'on fait
une vérité" (cf. L'Alouette)
Il serait
inconcevable qu'il déclare à
Boro Gotovina, frère du
général Ante Gotovina,
qu'"en politique, on dit une
chose, on en fait une autre
et on en pense une 3ème"
sans une telle formation
académique. ("In
politics, one says one
thing, does a second and
thinks a third".)
Après tout, Jacques Chirac
disait que "les promesses
n'engagent que ceux qui y
croient" – et quant au Dr
Goebbels, il affirmait que
"plus un mensonge est gros
et plus les gens y croient".
Ainsi depuis
la mi-décennie 1990, "les
rustiques" devraient croire
à ce dogme politique
désespérant de HDZ sans
chercher la raison, pour que
M Sanader ait l'honneur
de livrer les généraux
croates au tribunal de la
Hayes (ICTY), parmi
lesquels, le général Ante
Gotovina, ancien de la
Légion Etrangère française.
Cela
garantie à M Sanader une
sorte de promesse stipulant
que, probablement,
les vrais criminels ne
ferons jamais face à la
justice -- ce premier
ministre fort corrompu non
plus, quoique l'évidence de
ses crimes organisés en
Croatie...
Ce dogme le
blanchie même quand il
annonce que son pays est "en
banana"
(collapse) -- dès qu'il doit
résoudre quelque crise
pétrolière, sinon quelque
"crise mondiale" à l'échelle
national. Ses liens
"diplomatiques" mondialistes
et sa "crédibilité" le
décorent aussi d'une dette
extérieure qui monte à
90,5 % du PIB en 2008.
Pour qu'il
étendisse l'empire
judiciaire du tribunal de la
Haye, qui juge
actuellement la Croatie pour
l'opération
liberatrice "Tempête"
d'août 1995, ainsi que
les musulmans, les Serbes,
et peut-être même la Serbie,
M Sanader y délègue même une
dispute entre la
Croatie et la
Slovénie au sujet de
leur
frontière commune :
l'utopie modialiste se
réalise... Toutes ses
négociations pour l'adhésion
de la Croatie à l'UE et à
l'OTAN mettraient en valeur
ces riches marchands
mondialistes.
Bien qu'il
soit fier d'avoir "engagé
280 soldats dans les
opérations en Afghanistan"
et combien à la Hayes - in
the new future...
l'un de ses pauvres soldats
m'avise que "personne ne se
battrait plus pour cet état"
croate. Sanader, lui non
plus,
ne se batte que pour
"l'adhésion à l'OTAN" qui,
selon lui et M. Bush,
défendrait la
Croatie. Très convaincant...
Quoi que ce
soit que M Sanader rêve à
"contribuer" à l'Europe et à
l'OTAN, il se dit "satisfait
à propos de la
discussion et de l'appuis"
de M Sarkozy au sujet
de ses procédés
"euro-atlantiques". C'est
tout ce que M Sanader nous
permette d'apprendre sur
leurs relations bipolaires
(ouest-est). La
transparencepar
excellence.
Leur dogme politique
s'installe par silence en
apparence de la légalité. La
zone médiane entre le légal
et le bon n'existe plus.
Maintenant,
or in the
new future, quel pays --
d'Est en Ouest, du Nord au
Sud -- se permettrait la
"contribution" dont M
Sanader est capable?
As we know, Croatia
currently strives to get
into the NATO. The
real criminals
will never be punished,
we've been already
informed... Even the ICTY
gave the assurances to Mr
Sanader that no more
indictment would be raised
by them. So they all
"cooperate", Mr Sanader is
helping all Croatian
elites...
Thus, every document that's
"missing", that even
"doesn't exist", that is to
be found only under the "EU
pressure" would accuse, in
advance, the one that even "Glas
Koncila" (Catholic weekly
from Zagreb)
invited to
surrender and sacrifice
himself for Croatia --
General Ante Gotovina. We
should
unite in treason...
Not in fight for justice and
peace...
And what "peace" Croatia
does have today, in
Sanader's and Mesic's
Croatia. Apart from being "in
banana"?
Well, Croatians began to
truly hate the Serbs only
after unjust accusations
against innocent,
professional soldiers who
were to be sacrificed for
the "young democracy." Now,
even the Serbs are to be
pitied, given that Croatian
authorities wish to
"democratize" them, too.
(Promised.)
Next, I was told today a
striking truth: 'Why to you
care about the powers in
Croatia, today, no one would fight
for this state any longer.' Yes,
I know that. It took a
former military police
instructor in Mate Lausic's
unit (former head of
Military police) to
crystallize this truth. This
person fought lately in Afghanistan
and finally made some good
living.
Finally, neither Mate Lausic
would fight for that state
any more. This officer was so trusted in the past
that he was providing for
president Tudjman's
security. Thus, those who
"cooperate" in Sanader's
"young democracy" can send
their former troops to
Afghanistan etc., and go
even testify in The Hague (ICTY)
against Croatian operation
"Storm." I assume, they no
longer call their troops
"cretins, idiots" during
instruction - since they
would no longer fight for
Croatia.
"The pitiable is the
Commander whose army is
disciplined by Military
police”, said Mate Lausic to
The Hague (Dnevnik.hr:
Den Haag, 27 Jan 2009)
Hence, he's not responsible
for anything.
This is the peak of
Croatia's "successful
experiment" and Croatia's
"democracy". No one would
fight for it. Pitiable are,
in fact, the world elites
who rely on such allies that
wouldn't fight ("even") for
their own country! Is this
the military objective of
"globalization", of global
courts, of global
governments?
Then what do we fight for?
For whom? If we do fight for
Croatia, even by "pen"
(bytes used by my website),
HDZ will attack with ruining
one's career, with false
accusations, with aggressive
pornography (resembling to
the police files of rape
victims), etc.; so, their
funs who "cooperate" express
their disagreement with my
website by writing: "Stub
her, stub her for me, too."
This, too, must be "the EU
pressure."
Bravo to Croatia's elites!
Real criminals. I didn't
believe this was possible in
Croatia.

Croatia In
Focus No. 10 December 2005 - News Flash (Page 4): Croatian
Government statement on General Gotovina’s arrest
"...It
confirmed the credibility of the Republic of Croatia and all government
institutions, and its full cooperation with the Hague tribunal. It also
proved right all those who trusted us and supported us at times when
Croatia’s efforts to cooperate with the tribunal were doubted. It has
turned out now that such doubts were unwarranted. No one can be above or
beyond the law. The rule of law is one of the fundamental principles on
which Croatia is based, including both domestic laws and the country’s
international obligations. In any way it includes the Constitutional Law
on Cooperation with the International Criminal Tribunal in The Hague,
which the Croatian Parliament (Sabor) adopted in April 1996, the
statement concluded." [more

Today in Poland: Better news, Uuuuuuuu
Organised crime
VoC, 21 Feb 2009
Croatian authorities are
"fighting organised crime"?
According to
Croatian press,
the Polish police made a
video-recording of their
operation in Gdanjska,
Poland, yesterday. A
so-called Croatian citizen
was arrested with 32 kg of
cocaine, said to be several
million of Euros worth. It’s
also said to be the largest
ever drug booty on the
territory of Poland. The
arrested M.K. holds a
Croatian citizenship, but he
“never was and he is not the
resident of Croatia.” This,
too, must be due to the "EU
pressure"?
If that’s true, and by all
evidence, it is, the
Croatian authorities must be
congratulated for “fighting
the organized crime” so to
get into the NATO, the EU
and so on and on.
Will Croatia’s minister of
interior be replaced again,
would it be simpler if the
prime minister resigned,
will any of this happen? I
doubt it it will happen "by
itself".
I
make a rare exception to post an article
joining current Croatian political
campaigns, for VoC has received it from
Mr. Ivan Prcela, a dear friend.
Mr
Prcela and I had also a long
correspondence on
.
