Croatia: Last-Ditch Efforts To Prevent Extradition For Communist Crimes

What a nasty piece of work Vinko Sindicic is – while in hiding to avoid arrest for perjury, he now admits he lied in court in Germany! And to make things more disgusting Ante Nobilo, the lawyer, boasts about Sindicic’s statement! I say, if Sindicic admits to lying in court he can never be trusted to tell the truth, his credibility is shot out of the water! This is total madness! I hope Germany puts its foot down and drags both Perkovic and Mustac toi Germany

I posted this, we’ll see if they allow it to be posted. I have my doubts:

While I expected the UDBa / KOS controlled and or influenced media in Croatia to cover the Sindicic false and predictable change of heart uncritically, I did not expect that from any other media.

Sindicic was an operative, and the best (and I don’t mean that in a positive sense, just operational) agent / assassin UDBa had at that time by many statements by former top UDBa heads (whose lack of indictments demonstrate what a farce the judiciary in Croatia and fmr. Yugoslav states in general is / are).

The man was and remains a stone cold, unremourseful killer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cg4fkEMbqkY) of Communist regime opponents and or dissenters.

What is not being reported is the fact that his change of heart is legally meaningless as it was not made before a German magistrate and court, so it in no way shape or form can or should influence the Perkovic ruling in Croatia.

The article suggests he was a BND double-agent – this is patently false, because if anything he was a triple agent, but even that is false.

The entire judicial farce with Sindicic and Prates is two-fold. First is to protect Perkovic and his boss Mustac, the second is to derail the Prates conviction. This way they as individuals are protected, and their rule through the shadows in Croatia is also not just protected, but cemented.

The entire farce over Perkovic, and the rape of justice, and basic ethics and morality with the outright rejection of the Mustac extradition, demonstrate how deep the post-UDBa UDBa state is in Croatia.

This is for various reasons, and it has to do entirely with Western centers of power ensuring there was no lustration laws passed in any former Yugoslav state, as they were in Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary.

First and foremost, they uncritically watched the rise of Milosevic (save a few US congressmen denouncing the neo-Apartheid policies that he enforced in Kosovo in the late 1980s).

Every member of the UNSC more or less tacitly supported Milosevic and Serbia with the passing of the arms embargo which ensured Serbian military supremacy, as well as the near-bankrupting costs of arming for Croatia and B&H by being forced to purchase arms at 3 times the market value on the black market. This was all part of the subversive pro-Serb strategy for (greater) Serbian supremacy in the region.

Then US Secretary of State James Baker, as well as National Security advisor Brent Scowcroft and Ambassador to Yugoslavia Lawrence Eagleburger were in a blatant conflict of interest with their business interests in Belgrade, tied to both the comically cheap Yugo cars as well as Yugoslav arms industry (Crvena Zastava, which was illegally breaking the arms embargo by selling arms to Libya – something the Washington Post reported in the fall of 1991).

Belgrade had the political support it needed in the UN and the West (in the early 1990s, the top US officials with the ability to stop them entirely compromised by a blatant conflict of interest, and historically and gushingly pro-Serb France, UK, Netherlands, Russia and Communist China diplomacy and media lobbying and cheerleading for them, the duration of the Croatian / Bosnian wars).

Baker gave Milosevic the green light prior to outright war (the one-on-one meetig following the Yugoslav People’s Army open intervention in the town of Pakrac on behalf of the “Krajina” paramilitaries they had been forming, training and arming, along with Serbian State Security Services, Yugoslav Counterintelligence, and Serbian Ministry of the Interior a full year before any non-Communist political party and the Croatian Democratic Union-HDZ, formed), and Western media carped that the Yugoslav military would crush Croatia in two weeks.

Well, it didn’t. And Milosevic’s Yugoslav Army forces, as well as “Krajina” forces (and later Bosnian Serb Army forces, along with “Krajina” and Bosnian Serb political leadership) were so drunk on their own propaganda that they were entirely non-discreet in their systematic war crimes (outlined and ordered in detail in the Rampart [RAM] Plan authored by the YPA and YPA Counterintelligence leadership, which was disseminated to all Serbian military and paramilitary operational zone, down to platoon and squad commanders and leaders), which became a problem, especially with the CNN effect (which, while the journalists constistently equated guilt, the scale, and obvious [and documented via RAM Plan] planning was too much to be spun) that mobilized lawmakers and politically active citizenry in the West to do something.

That, along with European inaction and Clinton’s own domestic scandals, turned around US policy in terms of geostrategy. Peace had to be imposed. So a blind eye was turned to Croatians’ arming, and more robust professionalization of the military which was assisted in terms of training.

This, however, did not change the fact that Western centers of power were generously financing any and all opponents of Milosevic, whose opponents were more ultranationalist than he was (see fascist Chetnik revisionist Vuk Draskovic), and in the case of most of them, closely collaborating with Serbian intelligence and counterintelligence, but also the man Serbia’s intelligence and counterintelligence operatives in the controlled “opposition” Serbia media (who Western journalists parrotted uncritically 1991-1995) falsely equated with Milosevic, Croatian President Dr. Franjo Tudman.

The opposition in Croatia, save Tudman critic and Yugoslav Communist critic, as well as Yugoslav political prisoner Drazen Budisa, was, like most of the opposition media, led and staffed almost entirely by “former” Yugoslav Communists, and in the case of many in the opposition media, former regime propagandists, who were all tied to the pre-war UDBa apparatus.

This was the same case with many of the farcial NGOs that formed, and that are still around today (the deafening silence of all of them on the Perkovic and Mustac affair is not inconspicuous, it is damning evidence against them).

In the rest of Central Europe, Communists were an afterthought and on the political and social fringes, and rightfully so.

Between 1990 through to today, from the West, tens millions of dollars were pumped to these media organizations, who would regularly regurgiate Belgrade media hate speech and propaganda, as well as NGOs who would do the same, and to individual journalists who would rehash discredited wartime propaganda of Milosevic to subvert the truth and chronology of events.

The main, overarching strategy was guilt equivocation via cherry picking of statements out of context, as well as events – no matter how irrational, illogical, blatantly false, and entirely debunked by the actual voting trends, chronological order of events, order of battle and citation of statements and or documents in full / in context.

The reason – to justify the international and Western powers’ scandalously undemocratic, unethical and immoral tacit (and in the case of Russia, France, Netherlands, China and the UK, open) support for Milosevic’s expansionist plans (in large part due to the bizarre obsession with having a hostile southern neighbor to a united Germany).

Once the bloodshed was ended entirely thanks to the Croatian and B&H Croatian miltitary, which crushed Martic’s and Mladic’s forces forcing the Dayton Agreement, work began on regime change – not in Serbia, which planned and carried out the wars and committed well over 90 percent of all of the attrocities, but “authoritarian” Croatia where the media was freer during the [eak of the war than it is today.

The hysteria of “Croatian” “”opposition”” media, NGOs and politicians (save Budisa, who was, despite some of his own very naive and irrational positions, at least a real opposition leader and critic not tainted by service to a totalitarian regime) uncritically repeated debunked Belgrade cliches and propaganda (which was in terms of Western and international media and pseudo-historical literature, also regurgitated ad infinitum).

When Croatian President Dr. Franjo Tudman died, this campaign went into overdrive.

And, instead of financing the true blue liberal democrat and Communism as well as Tudman (in the case of Tudman, for all the wrong reasons) critic Budisa, to help democratic transition and a final reckoning with the “former” Communist elites who switched to both major parties (HDZ and SDP) and who oversaw many illegal privatizations, the West financed fanatical Yugoslav and Tito apologist, as well as war profiteer and illegal privatization participant Stipe Mesic for President and former Croatian Communist Party head Ivica Racan for Prime Minister.

Upon their election, politically motived firings in intelligence (Franjo Turek, who proved that foreign intelligence services were illegally financing untransparent media and NGO “activists”), the military (nearly all of the successful wartime Generals) and civil service to be replaced with recidivist elements of the former Yugoslav Communist regime in Croatia.

Illegal privatizations not only continued, but exponentially increased at the expense of Croatian taxpayers and workers.

This was coupled with the ICTY, which had been working with the Milosevic fanatic as well as Milosevic, Martic, Babic, Mrksic, Perisic, Hadzic, Simatovic and Stanisic joint criminal enterprise participant, as well as “Veritas” NGO founder and wartime “Krajina” Secretary Savo Strbac, began writing indictments incriminating not just the entire wartime Croatian general staff, but also its entire political leadership with “evidence” provided by Strbac and “Veritas,” who were coordinating with “Croatian” NGOs, namely HHO, which was formed by Zarko Puhovski (whose shoddy, contradictory and unsubstantiated “evidence” was thrown out of the Gotovina et. all trial it was so ridiculously false). The same criteria for Croatian military (operational and operational zone commanders) and political commanders were mysteriously not reciprocated with either Serb nor Muslim military or political commanders or leaders.

When General Gotovina fled Croatia, rightfully fearing for his life, the media and politicians who are defending Perkovic today, and how he and Mustac cannot be extradited no matter what the cost, were carping about how Croatia could not be the hostage of one man.

The same foreign embassies, in particular, Western embassies in Croatia who were threatening Croatia with sanctions over entirely innocent Gen. Gotovina, are now deafeningly silent on Perkovic and Mustac (along with the parade of vocal Croatian self-described NGOs).

The wolf-pack theory / chaos theory in action. Carrots and sticks to keep Croatia in a constant state of instability.
