>1. More Fake Graves?

>BRISBANE, Apr. 13 - Two TiM readers, half a world apart - one in Brisbane,
>Australia, another in Minnesota - have independently concluded that the
>satellite photos of the alleged new graves offered as "proof" of "Serb
>atrocities" by Washington's "lie and deny" PR factory are - FAKES.  Here
>was their reasoning (the photos are posted at our Web site within this
>story so you can check them out for yourself):
>
>"U.S. Lie Satellites! - ANOTHER PROPAGANDA CON," read the headline from a
>message we received from Australia.  The photographs shown below came from
>page 10 of Brisbane's Courier Mail, the main daily in this city.  They
>purport to show "recently dug mass graves" (marked with the [] shape,
>center of picture) near the Kosovo town of Pusto Selo.  Although the date
>of 9 April is given on the picture on the right, no date is given on the
>picture to the left.  This leaves the impression that the two photos are
>"before and after" shots of the area.  
>
>"But the 'grave diggers' must have been busy little beavers," our
>correspondent writes, "as new buildings have also "shot up"  while the
>'graves' were being dug. (see top left corner of the right hand picture).
>
>>From which our correspondent concludes:  "I am no aerial reconnaissance
>expert, but considering it is spring in Kosovo, and it takes about 12 weeks
>to erect a substantial building like the one in the photograph, the picture
>on the left must have been taken in winter, and of course the alleged "
>recently dug graves," and the many other minor landmarks not evident in the
>left side photograph, would have been snow covered.  If this is not the
>case then the left side pictures must have been taken before the last
>winter and is so old no reasonable comparison could be made.  Or perhaps
>they are both the same picture and the guy with the airbrush got carried
>away, and wiped the house out?'"!
>
>Our correspondent from Minnesota noticed some other oddities about this
>satellite "proof" of nothing.  "I noted that the shadows of the buildings
>are in exactly the same position in both pictures," he wrote.  " Were both
>of these pictures somehow taken at exactly the same time of day, on exactly
>the same day of the year, and from exactly the same place in the sky?
>Unless this is a satellite photo from a satellite that is in a coordinated
>orbit over Pusto Selo, there is something wrong with this skit."
>---
>TiM Ed.: Long time TiM readers will recall, of course, that fake satellite
>photos are nothing new when it comes to the NOW "lie and deny" PR
>con-artists manufacturing the "proof" of their claims.  Check out "Kosovo:
>Srebrenica II?" (Day 8, Update 1, Item 5, Mar. 31 - available at our Web site).

>2. Russian TV Coverage Disappears from C-Span

>ALASKA, Apr. 13 - We received today the following feedback from a visitor
>to our site, Rev. Steven Smith, a pastor from Alaska.  Here is his comment:
>
>"Thank you for you site.  I am sure it has been all-consuming as a result
>of the recent day events over Kosovo, note not Kosova! (the Albanian term).
> I am praying that prominent Americans, and more of the general public at
>large, will dig beyond the surface and realize that there is more here than
>meets the eye.  
>
>I am sorry that we have been cut off form Russian television in recent days
>that was covering news from Serbia.  Russian television just vanished from
>the C-Span coverage.  Probably the things that outrages me the most is that
>our government has such control of the media coverage, and that it desires
>to keep the American population ignorant.  If that doesn't border on
>dictatorship I don't know what does.

>Praying for the truth to come to the surface before it is to late."

>3. Buchanan on Kosovo: "The Mess They've Made"
>
>WASHINGTON, Apr. 13 - The Republican presidential candidate, Pat Buchanan,
>today lashed out once again at the Clinton administration's handling of the
>Kosovo crisis in a column published today by the Washington Post on page
>A21.  But don't bother looking for it at the Post's Web site.  We've tried.
> And came up empty-handed.  Which is why we cannot give you the URL to
>Buchanan's article.  Instead, we bring it to you here in full:
>
>"Three weeks into Bill Clinton's Balkan adventure and America risks a
>debacle. The human rights crisis in Kosovo has exploded into a catastrophe.
>Slobodan Milosevic is being rallied around like some Serbian Churchill.
>Montenegro and Macedonia are destabilized; Russia is being swept by
>anti-American jingoism; and U.S. troops may have to go marching into the
>Big Muddy. Such are the fruits of Utopian crusades for global democracy.
>
>The great lesson of Vietnam was: Before you commit the army, commit the
>nation. Clinton and Madeleine Albright launched a war against Yugoslavia
>with the support of neither.
>
>Yet this debacle is not their doing alone. It is a product of the hubris of
>a foreign policy elite that has for too long imbibed of its own moonshine
>about America being the "world's last superpower" and "indispensable
>nation." Even as we slashed our defenses to the smallest fraction of GDP
>since before Pearl Harbor, the rhetoric has remained triumphalist, and the
>commitments have kept on coming.
>
>Responsibility must be shared by Congress, for Clinton's intent to launch
>this Balkan war was long apparent. Yet Congress failed either to authorize
>war or deny the president the right to attack.
>
>With Milosevic still defying NATO, we are admonished that "failure is not
>an option," the United States must do "whatever is necessary to win."
>Otherwise, NATO's credibility will be destroyed.
>
>But this is mindlessness. If the war was a folly to begin with, surely, the
>answer is to cut our losses and let the idiot-adventurers who urged the
>attack resign to write their memoirs, rather than send 100,000 U.S. troops
>crashing into the Balkans to save the faces and careers of our blundering
>strategists. Only a fanatic redoubles his energy when he has lost sight of
>his goal.
>
>After the Gallipolli disaster, Churchill went; after Suez, Eden went; after
>the Bay of Pigs, Allen Dulles departed the CIA. Surely, this is a wiser,
>more honorable, course than a ground war in Kosovo.
>
>Moreover, Americans will not support "whatever is necessary to win." We are
>not going to turn Belgrade into Hamburg. As one recalls the horror at
>Nixon's "Christmas Bombing" that freed our POWs at a cost of 1,400 dead in
>Hanoi, all but surgical bombing is out.
>
>And if we send in the troops, what do we "win"? The right to say that NATO
>defeated Serbia? The right to occupy Kosovo?
>
>If, after we take Kosovo, the Serbs conduct a guerrilla war against our
>troops, and the KLA begins a war of liberation to kick NATO out, annex
>western Macedonia and unite with Tirana, our "victory" will have produced
>the very disaster we wish to avoid.
>
>"It is unworthy of a great state to dispute over something that does not
>concern its own interests," said Bismarck, who called the entire Balkans
>"not worth the bones of a single Pomeranian grenadier." When did that
>peninsula become so critical to the United States that we would go to war
>over whose flag flew over Pristina?
>
>"Arm the Kosovars!" urge other armchair strategists. But do we really want
>another Afghanistan -- in the underbelly of Europe?

>What a mess the interventionists have made of it. Because the NATO
>expansionists could not keep their hands off the alliance, they have
>shattered the myth of its invincibility and may have called into being a
>Moscow-Minsk-Beijing-Belgrade-Baghdad axis.
>
>But maybe the foreign policy establishment needed a second Cold War, as
>anything is preferable to irrelevance.
>
>Out of this disaster, what lessons may be learned?
>
>First, America cannot police the planet on a defense budget of 3 percent of
>GDP. Our dearth of air-launched cruise missiles, the need to shift carriers
>from the gulf, the delay in deploying the Apaches, the calling up of the
>reserves -- all point to a military that is dangerously inadequate to the
>global tasks we have added since the Cold War.
>
>Unless America is prepared to restore Ronald Reagan's Army, Navy and Air
>Force, we cannot stop a rearmed Russia in East Europe, police the Balkans,
>roll back a second Iraqi attack on Kuwait, contain North Korea and prevent

>foreign policy bankruptcy.
>
>America must retrench and rearm.
>
>What the United States needs today in the Balkans is a least-bad peace,

>Albanians. And if, in the negotiations to end this tragedy, Belgrade cries,
>"No American troops in Kosovo!" let us insist upon it, and bring our
>soldiers home from Europe, as Ike told JFK to do nearly 40 years ago."

>4. Why Are the Serbs the New World Order's First Victims?
>
>PHOENIX, Apr. 13 - During the last three weeks of our non-stop coverage of
>NATO's attack on Serbia, many TiM readers have asked us the question in the
>title of this article: "Why are the Serbs the New World Order's First
>Victims?"  
>
>Interestingly, this is the same question which some prescient TiM readers
>asked us in the summer of 1997, nearly two years ago.  Having re-read our
>answer to them, we find it as appropriate today as it was back then. Which
>is why we bring it to you again.  Here's an excerpt from the TiM GW
>Bulletin 97/8-3 (10-Aug-97):
>
>QUESTION: "As with Stalin's plan (1923) for the destruction of Christianity
>by destroying Germany via WW II... I wonder what is also special about the
>Serbs that would make them the intended victims of the same leadership
>types in the NWO Cabal?"
>-----
>Ed. The above TiM correspondent is a retired US Army officer, a
>German-American who had served honorably in Vietnam, among other places.
>He asked the above question in response to the TiM GW Bulletin 97/8-2 - re.
>Holbrooke - the "Balkan Bully."  Our reply follows:
>-----
>
>TiM ANSWER: The Serbs were the easiest to kill or enslave among the
>Orthodox Christians.  They are isolated and surrounded by enemies.  There
>are only 10 million of them.  Plus, the Serbs are fierce freedom fighters.
>Beating them to a pulp would discourage rebellion against the New World
>Order (NWO) by others later on.  Also, the Serbs are the most "Western" of
>all Orthodox Christians.
>
>The Greeks may be next.  They are also isolated and surrounded by enemies.
>Plus, a smaller nation than even the Serbs.  Notice that Bill Clinton has
>appointed Richard Holbrooke a special envoy to Cyprus?  What Holbrooke did
>to the Serbs in Bosnia, he is likely to do to the Greeks on Cyprus.
>
>Killing, enslaving the Orthodox Christian Russia will take longer.  But the
>process is already under way.  The methods are the same.  NATO is an "Iron
>Ring" around Russia's European neck.  Islam will shackle her soft southern
>underbelly.  China will finish the job from the east.
>
>After the 250 million or so of Orthodox Christians are killed or enslaved,
>the Protestant Christians will become the next target of the NWO.  They
>will be easier to kill or enslave than the Catholics.  There are only 500
>million Protestant adherents vs. over a billion Catholic ones.
>
>Finally, the "NWO cabal," as you put it, will turn against the Catholics, too.
>
>See a pattern?  Like a pack of hungry wolves converging on unsuspecting
>animals, the NWO hyenas attack the weakest one first.  Among the
>Christians, that was the Serbs.  That's why the Serbs were the first
>victims.  That's why they need/deserve help from other Christians around
>the world NOW - before the others become too weak to help.
>
>The NWO is a reverse (and more perverse) form of the Crusades.  In fact, it
>is a revenge for the Crusades.  It is a crusade against the Christians!
>
>Of course, in reality, things are not going to be happening serially, as
>described above, but in parallel - with the above order of targets
>determining the NWO priorities.  So the actual process may be faster than
>it seems.
>---
>TiM Ed.: Back to present time (Apr. 13, 1999)... the fact that the
>preceding comments were published in August 1997, yet so few people headed
>them back then, both in America and around the world, is an example of
>complacency which is exceeded perhaps only by the world Christians' inertia
>to the alarming reaction to our above TiM GW Bulletin written

>5. Russian 19th Century Philosopher Predicted Antichrist's Arrival
>
>PHOENIX, Apr. 13 - What follows is a letter which we received from a TiM
>reader in August 1997 from Prof. Charles Ashanin, of Indianapolis, Indiana:
>
>"I must respond at once to your bulletin of August 7, 1997 - the one in
>which you explain what is behind NWO persecution of the Serbs. First, and
>foremost, unworthy though they (the Serbs) are because they fight each
>other, because they are Orthodox Christians, at least historically
>speaking, and their (shall I say our) situation can be understood in that
>context.
>
>As a historian of Christianity, I can testify to you that you were inspired
>when you wrote what you did about the predicament and perils of Christians
>in the world. The irony, Bob, is that the Antichrist, who is behind all
>this, is uniting Western Christians, Roman Catholics and Protestants
>against us (Orthodox Christians) without their knowing; blind fools, that
>one day the same fate awaits them! But then it will be too late!
>
>The famous Russian philosopher, Vladimir Solovyev, (d. 1900) wrote a book
>called "Antichrist," in which he explains that the Antichrist will announce
>his reign through and from the United States of Europe (the today's
>NWO-although he does not use that term). 
>
>The Serbs were the first in the fourteenth century to face Antichrist when
>the Turks invaded their lands. However, after five centuries of slavery
>they survived, but Satan has been waiting to crush them. It began with the
>Second World War when in Croatia alone 1,000,000 of them perished. Now
>again he is at their throat through NWO. I will say no more.
>
>What is reassuring to me is that lay people like us, see and understand all
>this, even if our clerical leaders do not.  I congratulate you on this.  
>
>One Christian people who were the first to be attacked were the Armenians
>in Turkey.  From 1896-1916, two to three million of them perished. Now the
>turn has come of the Serbs. You put it well. Satan, the NWO goes for the
>weak. Do not stop raising the alarm. The times are perilous-but God hears
>the prayers of the righteous!"
