  "We want to establish in the world the principle of justice Macedonia needs," LaRouche

LaRouche on Macedonian TV: 

"Justice and sovereignty for Macedonia!"

by Umberto Pascali

Oct 10 (EIRNS)--On Oct 6, the "peace facilitator", US Ambassador James "the cowboy" Pardew, presented an uncharacteristically less cavalier attitude in an interview to the Macedonian daily, {Vecer}. 

"There is a misunderstanding regarding America's position towards NLA [the name of the narco-terrorist Kosovo Liberation Army in Macedonia]. I was sent here to negotiate and I negotiate." Pardew insisted, "It's a misunderstanding…  We oppose NLA. We are disgusted by what NLA did. US support peace and stability in Macedonia…"

          Why the usually arrogant "cowboy" felt obliged to go in front of the Macedonian public and insist in a quasi-polite way: I did not do it, I don't even like the KLA? To be clear, Pardew did not change his position one iota. He did not repent for his (ongoing) push on the Macedonian government to negotiate with the narco-terrorists, he did not apologize for having forced Macedonia to discuss the destruction of its national sovereignty under the armed assault of the KLA.

          He did not regret that a significant part of Macedonia had been

occupied, "ethnically cleansed," villages and towns burned and destroyed while the government was blackmailed by the "facilitators" into refraining from intervening to defend their civilians and their territory. And, of course, he did not talk about the famous meeting with President Boris Trajkovski, where, according to many media detailed reports, he demanded that the press stop reporting about any connection between the KLA and the Bin Laden group. 

          He did not do any of that but still it is surprising for someone who, when visiting as guest a police facility could not help throwing a fit accompanied by insults and knives throwing. 

We are not exaggerating, according to a public release issued by the Macedonian Interior Ministry, on Oct 4 Pardew arrived unannounced at the Training Center for Security Personnel in Skopje, and "without any consideration for the standards of behavior of a diplomatic representative and without any cause or reason, Ambassador Pardew started to throw the cutlery and the restaurant's in an aggressive and improper way. He also made humiliating comments about the quality of the equipment and the food."

          The Interior Ministry communiquй' concludes inviting the government to uphold the rules of the Vienna Convention concerning the conducts of diplomats serving in a foreign country."

"That's not negotiation, that's imperialism!"

          Of course it is difficult to distinguish, in the case of Pardew, between spontaneous arrogance towards a small country and studied attitude aimed at making clear that Macedonia in fact cannot claim any national sovereignty, because Macedonia is to be considered a protectorate to be partition at will.

Pardew is not the only official involved in the "Macedonian operation" but according to many Macedonians he represents, in the most ruthless way, the principle of lawlessness and the law of the jungle that the so-called "international community" has been trying to establish in Macedonia.

          However on Oct 5, just one day after the Pardew "cutlery exploit," something happened in Macedonia. Something that broke fair and square the psychological warfare controlled environment where Macedonia had been forced. Lyndon LaRouche was on prime time news in the main TV station, {Makedonska Televizija} answering his interviewer's question: "how can we save Macedonia?"

          "It was a breath of fresh air, no it was more, LaRouche gave the viewers that, beyond the America of Pardew, there was a real America, and America based on truth, based on God's law, not on diktats and prevarications," one observer said at the end of the news. 

Other comments went from "he is powerful man, I tell you" to "finally someone who tell the truth and knows what to do!" to "Finally! He thought them a lesson!" 

But it was not over the morning after the whole interview was broadcasted in the radio and, on Oct 10, the transcript was published by the daily {Makedonia Denes.}

          Maybe we will never know how LaRouche's interview popped up so precisely at the right moment. We do not know if there are unknown heroes – maybe within a Macedonia under assault -- who fought with courage and Machiavellian intelligence to bring this about. 

We don't know, though we can imagine, whether attempts were made to prevent the interview from being broadcast. If there were such attempts, they did not work, and actually by giving a Macedonian microphone to LaRouche against possible pressure, constitute the "evidence" that indeed the Macedonian Government and the Macedonian people have more sovereignty (and for sure more guts) than so many bigger countries.   

          This is underscored by the fact that LaRouche's interview was preceded by the publication in Macedonian printed and electronic media of several articles taken from magazines and newspapers linked to LaRouche, including {EIR} magazine and {New Federalist}. Indeed a country that find the ability to fight his war for independence and sovereignty in the battlefield of ideas, have a very big chance to win, no matter how ferocious and powerful is the enemy.

          "What should be done to save the independence and sovereignty of Macedonia?" LaRouche was asked.  He answered: The problem is that when people say to the Government of Macedonia that you have to accept our conditions and those conditions include changing the form of government in such a way that sovereignty of the nation is destroyed. {That's not arbitration, that's not peace negotiation, that's imperialism.} 

And no agency has the moral right to do that. Some agencies have the power to do that, but they don't have the moral right to do so. If you go around the world, not just Macedonia, you'll find the same problem throughout the world."

          LaRouche pointed his finger on the present US foreign policy: "The same forces in the US and England who pushed for the [Kosovo] war [against Yugoslavia] to occur unnecessarily are continuing to support drug-pushing forces which are based in Albania and Kosovo and using these forces to continue Special Warfare with support from outside forces. We have policies, which are morally insane, which are tolerated by powerful combinations of governments for special interests. The world doesn't need this; we don't need this. 

We are in a fight to establish on this planet the same kind of principles of justice Macedonia requires right now for its nation….

          "That has been the struggle in Modern European Civilization ever since.

The right of a nation to promote and defend the general welfare of all of its people and their prosperity. In the case of the Balkans the only solution is to let the existing nations govern themselves in that way and also co-operate with other sovereign nations to promote things, which are in the common interest of all of its nations. And that is the principle which I go by."
