GOLD KOSOVO, KOSOVO GOLD, KOSOVO GOLD, GOLD KOSOVO KOSOVO/METOHIJA is LOADED with GOLD !!! ---------------------------------------- And SILVER, LEAD, ZINC, CADMIUM, COAL too !! STARI TRG TREPCA MINES in KOSOVO First a minor RANT, then details of the MASSIVE MINERAL RESERVES of KOSOVO/METOHIJA Same way as the MASONIC-CANAANITES stole South Africa, through a manufactured "humanitarian" revolution. South African's NEVER should have employed or mistreated the darker skinned people, just as America NEVER should have used slaves either, but who brought the slaves to America and the world in the first place ??? [Ask and I can send you the answer] Now we are getting somewhere ! Why did you NOT hear this BLATANTLY RELEVANT INFO from the COMMUNIST NEWS NETWORK ! This report of KOSOVO/METOHIJA GOLD MOTHERLODE is almost a YEAR OLD !! NOTE: NATO and ALBRIGHT are demanding that ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN YUGOSLAVIA withdraw all its forces from KOSOVO/METOHIJA even when KOSOVO/METOHIJA is STILL PART of CHRISTIAN YUGOSLAVIA !!! always has been [despite repeated attempts of MUSLIMS to steal it] and no one disputes this FACT, that would be like someone asking the USA to withdraw its forces from COLORADO that were preventing Meztizos from taking it by massive illegal immigration, narcotics trafficking, violence rapes etc that were driving the legal inhabitants from the area. YUGOSLAVIA has a BETTER claim to its heartland of KOSOVO/METOHIJA than the USA has to COLORADO !! THIS is EXACTLY what is happening in YUGOSLAVIA's southern most "remaining" state, which now we find out is LOADED with MINERAL WEALTH ! YUGOSLAVIA has already given up SEA ACCESS and ALL of its other states !! Who is the aggressor and who is trying to maintain what little is left of itself? Will we have the right to protect our borders ? Our own yards for that matter ? The MASONIC-CANAANITES always utilize more barbourous people as pawns to steal from the more civilized people of SHEM because the people of SHEM are less likely to stoop to the level required to head off savage behavior. Remember the HUGUENOTS ? Or the MILLIONS of CHRISTIANS butched in RUSSIA? SOUTH AFRICA ? The MUSLIMS actually think NATO is supporting their cause, i.e. ISLAM, when in actuality the MUSLIMS are being used as pawns to acquire power and mineral reserves etc SAME exact way as CANAANITE ENGLAND created KUWAIT out of thin air because low and behold, "KUWAIT" contained 70 % of the area's oil reserves and BROTHERHOOD of DEATH 3rd tier man GEORGE HERBERT WALKER BUSH had interests of his masters to secure. The word semite is derived from SHEM, one of the sons of Noah. Today, thanks to JESUS, ALL may be saved, no matter what race! And ALMOST ALL these refugees where from ALBANIA originally, many very recently. They FLOODED CHRISTIAN KOSOVO/METOHIJA and made it VERY dangerous for the CHRISTIAN to stay, effectively "ethnically cleansing" the area. MOST of these ALBANIANS did NOT legally emigrate to YUGOLSAVIA's southern state of KOSOVO/METOHIJA, but were INSURGENTS !!! SURGING IN !! Of course many were simply pawns in the game, many killed by the KLA simply for not being COMMITTED enough to the revolutionary cause of stealing another country's land. RUTHLESS PEOPLE care NOT what happens to their own brethren, remember the Holocaust and Dresden Mao etc etc ? This from a leftist perspective, but who can doubt the relevance of the information? When (and if) Kosovo is "liberated", who winds up in control of the mines? [certainly NOT the Muslims, who are just pawns in a game, no different than the "AMIR" of of "Kuwait"] Anyone who might be making campaign contributions? Remember the movers and shakers of the NWO are just as amused by the rantings of the "leftists" as they are by the rantings of "right wing extremists" -- as long as the two blame each other and continue to fail recognize their common serfdom. ICE ************************************************************** Subject: The Serbian Cash Register A real Eye Opener Via Workers World News Service Reprinted from the July 30, 1998 issue of Workers World newspaper ------------------------- Kosovo: 'The war is about the mines' By Sara Flounders Wars are at root about economics, and the rapidly expanding war in Kosovo is no different. So why have millions of dollars in high-tech weapons suddenly become available to the so-called Kosovo Liberation Army by way of the U.S. and Germany? [Paid for with HEROIN/BLOOD MONEY from ALBANIAN MAFIA and its new branch called the KosovoLiberationArmy KLA/OVK] A July 11 report by New York Times Balkans bureau chief Chris Hedges describes the KLA's new arsenal-the latest anti-tank rocket-propelled grenades and anti-aircraft weapons. These weapons are shifting the balance of power toward the KLA, which is funded fully by outside sources, mostly from the U.S. and Germany. The KLA is "fed by recruits, money and arms from outside Serbia," Hedges confirms. It has an "inexhaustible supply line," he reports. "Rebel soldiers, in full uniform with the red and black patch of the Kosovo Liberation Army, pull thick wads of German marks from their pockets. There are also signs that the arrival of dozens of former professional soldiers as well as some mercenaries are turning the ragtag band into a viable military force of several thousand fighters." In fact, the KLA is primarily a mercenary army funded by the kind of shadowy sources that have long been associated with U.S. and German intelligence services. It is a contra army. Kosovo is often portrayed in the media as an isolated mountainous region that's poor and without resources. It might seem, from these accounts, to be an area of interest only to those who live there. The New York Times, for example, has carried dozens of such articles by Chris Hedges in the last six months. Only once, on July 8, did Hedges write about the real wealth of Kosovo-the Stari Trg mining complex. It was a tip-off that something more was at stake in this war. Hedges' visit to the Stari Trg mining complex is an eye opener. He describes the glittering veins of lead, zinc, cadmium, gold and silver in Stari Trg. According to Hedges, "The sprawling state-owned Trepca mining complex, the most valuable piece of real estate in the Balkans, is worth at least $5 billion." According to the mine's director, Novak Bjelic, "The war in Kosovo is about the mines, nothing else. This is Serbia's Kuwait-the heart of Kosovo. ... In addition to all this, Kosovo has 17 billion tons of coal reserves." The whole world knows and observed firsthand in the war against Iraq to what horrendous extent the Pentagon was willing to go in order to guarantee control of the oil wealth of Kuwait. But the enormous mineral wealth of Kosovo is never publicly discussed by U.S. United Nations Ambassador Richard Holbrooke, President Bill Clinton or the Pentagon generals. They speak only of "self-determination" of the Albanian population of Kosovo. Of course, they never mention what U.S.-imposed "self-determination" means. It means colonization under the guise of "liberation," like what the U.S. did to Puerto Rico, Cuba and the Philippines a hundred years ago. An Internet search for reports on the mines of Kosovo-the Trepca mining complex or Stari Trg-turned up only the one article by Hedges and a small piece in the June 22 Wall Street Journal. All other mentions are in metallurgical journals. How could this vital fact be omitted from all discussion of what is at stake in Kosovo? It is comparable to describing Kuwait and the oil-rich Gulf states as barren deserts. The wealth of Kosovo is greater than the rich veins of ore in the mines. Hedges describes the mining complex: "The Stari Trg mine, with its warehouses, is ringed with smelting plants, 17 metal treatment sites, freight yards, railroad lines, a power plant and the country's largest battery plant." The labor power of millions of workers throughout socialist Yugoslavia built this mining complex into the powerhouse it is today. It was their wealth that was invested in developing the complex. It belongs not just to those who live in Kosovo, but to the workers of all Yugoslavia. The Yugoslav web site www.yugo slavia.com describes Trepca as the "richest lead and zinc mines in Europe." Lignite deposits in the Kosovo mines are, according to experts, sufficient for the next 13 centuries. The capacity of the lead and zinc refineries ranks third in the world. Miners work round the clock, day and night, in six-hour shifts. According to the mine director, "In the last three years we have mined 2,538,124 tons of lead and zinc crude ore and produced 286,502 tons of lead and zinc and 139,789 tons of pure lead, zinc, cadmium, silver and gold." Although the average person watching the news in the evening has never heard of Stari Trg, it has been a prize changing hands for two thousand years. The wealth of Stari Trg is legendary. Precious metals were mined there more than 2,000 years ago, first by the Greeks, then by the Romans. These mines were the grand prize in the Nazi occupation of the Balkans after Germany grabbed control from the British. The mines have great industrial and military importance. The Nazis used batteries produced there to power their U-boats. Today submarine batteries are still made there. Profits from these mines are helping to keep the Yugoslav Federation afloat. U.S. and UN sanctions imposed on Serbia and Montenegro, the two remaining republics of Yugoslavia, have taken an enormous toll. Without investment credits, loans for financing industry, imports and exports, the economy has been stifled. Inflation has weakened the currency. The mines, which once were the largest employer in the province, have also been affected. The most important words in Hedges' article are the description of the complex as "state owned." Throughout this decade, as the capitalist market has swept over the former socialist countries of Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, socialist Yugoslavia has attempted to resist privatization of its industry and natural resources. To break this resistance, the Western imperialist countries played a major role in the breakup of socialist Yugoslavia. This huge complex of mines, refining, power and transportation in Kosovo may well be the largest uncontested piece of wealth not yet in the hands of the big capitalists of the U.S. or Europe. The industry, natural resources and transportation of all the former Soviet republics, the socialist countries of Eastern Europe, and the secessionist republics of Yugoslavia are now being rapidly privatized. No one within the region has the wealth or connections to finance capital to buy controlling shares of these vast state-owned industries. The major Western corporations are gobbling these industries up. While the fate of some industries is still in negotiation, the lending and credit conditions of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank require the breakup of all state-owned industries. This is true for the oil and natural gas wealth in the Caucasus and the Caspian Sea as well as the diamond mines of Siberia. The decision on who will own or have controlling interest in the 22 mines and the many processing plants of the Trepca complex will be made by whoever wins the armed struggle raging in Kosovo. NATO domination on the ground would put U.S. corporations in the best ownership position. Nationalist strife advances their position. Although being forced to privatize in order to survive in today's global market, Yugoslavia has tried to control the process and to propose Balkan regional development. According to the June 22 Wall Street Journal, the Yugoslav Federation is in negotiations to sell shares in the Trepca mining complex. Forced by the economic crisis, they have been negotiating with a Greek investor-Mytilineos Holdings SA-for partial ownership. The former manager of the mines, Byrhan Kavaja-who is now allied with the opposition to the Yugoslav government-has written to all corporations dealing in soft metals to tell them not to make agreements with the Yugoslav government. Kavaja says that once a new government is in power, all past decisions on ownership will be invalidated. The opposition will make "new agreements." Who is likely to be the beneficiary of these agreements? The progressive movement in the U.S. and throughout Western Europe must be at the forefront in explaining that the billions of dollars spent on the U.S./NATO occupation of the region is not in the interests of any of the people of the Balkans. Nor is it in the interests of poor and working people in the U.S. or Europe. The war is destroying all that was built through collective ownership and collaboration in the Balkans. This war will mean higher taxes and even more cuts in social programs in the U.S and Europe. But the billions of dollars in profit will go to a few wealthy stockholders in the U.S. or in Western Europe. - END -
