[Peace-discuss] NATO's Kosovo Colony

[Morton K. Brussel]

Just another manifestation of U.S. imperialism…"independent Kosovo",  
supported by our mass media.

See Diana Johnstones illuminating, if long, article at http:// 
www.counterpunch.org/johnstone02182008.html

It starts out:

Across this last weekend, the Western propaganda machine was working  
overtime, celebrating the latest NATO miracle: the transformation of  
Serbian Kosovo into Albanian Kosova. A shameless land grab by the  
United States, which used the Kosovo problem to install an enormous  
military base (Camp Bondsteel) on other people's strategically  
located land, is transformed by the power of the media into an  
edifying legend of "national liberation".

For the unhappy few who know the complicated truth about Kosovo, the  
words of Aldous Huxley seem most appropriate: "You shall know the  
truth, and the truth shall drive you mad."…

…I turn again to Aldous Huxley for comfort: "Facts do not cease to  
exist because they are ignored."

But Huxley also said: "Great is truth, but still greater, from a  
practical point of view, is silence about truth. By simply not  
mentioning certain subjects... totalitarian propagandists have  
influenced opinion much more effectively than they could have by the  
most eloquent denunciations."
