OUR COMMENTARY ON THE CURRENT EVENTS IN MACEDONIA!

The principles of peaceful coexistence as the basis for international relations, include the unconditional “right of peoples under foreign and colonial domination to self-determination. They include independence; sovereignty; the territorial integrity of states; the right of every country to put an end to foreign occupation and to the acquisition of territory by force; and the right to choose its own social, political, and economic system.

We the Macedonians from the Macedonian Diaspora and Macedonia  speak of peace and cooperation among the peoples.

When the European and “the International Community” will acquire greater maturity  and demand of NATO members, UN members, EU members and USA government’s guarantees for the lives  of Macedonians and other  who live in that country( so many of whom are even  US citizen as well) suffering by the terrorists  invasion and barbarism.

 

Those who kill their own nationals and children and discriminate daily  against  Macedonians and ethnically cleanse and committed acts of genocide against  Macedonians  and non Albanians in Macedonia  remain free, protecting them and furthermore even  punishing the Macedonians by not allowing their ultimate right of self defense and legitimate rights as free men and expression of the free democratic will of the people of Macedonia-how can those who do this consider themselves guardian of freedom and democracy???

But we have to warn that if we do not peacefully and wisely resolve the present injustice and inequalities as applied to Macedonians and Macedonia as victims of terrorist invasion and occupation, the future will be apocalyptic, having in view the increasingly apocalyptic world in  which we live.

  Although  I am said to speak at great length, you may rest assured that I shall strive to be brief and to present here what  we believe needs to be presented.

  Some may think we are very annoyed and upset by the treatment received by Macedonian Diaspora’s delegation  by both the Macedonian government, political parties and the US administration. That is not the case.  We understand  perfectly well why these things have happened, and we are therefore not upset.  You may rest assured that Macedonian Diaspora will make every effort to bring about understanding in the worldwide Macedonian Community and Republic of Macedonia it self.

 

But of this you may be certain: we shell speak frankly.

It is extremely expensive to send a large delegation across the world to make a statement. The Macedonians in the Diaspora have worked hard for every Dollar and Douche Mark, Frank and so forth, and they would rather spend it in helping  a family in need, then to pay the cost of the trip to summer resort or vacation spot, or even as a part of Delegation – so they put Macedonia first.

It is obvious that when we do spend money in this fashion it is because  we wish to speak  frankly and openly to the Macedonian people and the government under the world’s eye watch.

Macedonia should itself be a world concern. Many reports and governments for that matter have said, quite correctly, that among the problems now facing the world is that of terrorism and that of Macedonia as  a victim of terrorist invasion. In addition, Macedonia has  problems of concern to us  and to our people.

Much has  been said of    the universal  desire for peace. This is the desire of all  peoples and, as such, it is desire of our peoples too.

But the peace that the world ( and NATO,EU and US) wishes to preserve is something we Macedonians  have not been able to enjoy for some time. The danger that  other  peoples of the world may consider more or less distant  are problems that for us are very immediate. 

 

It has not been easy to come to Macedonia to speak of the peoples of Macedonia, it has not been easy for us to come. But it was harder  for many Macedonians from Macedonia to come to Skopje from their cities and villages under terrorist invasion and occupation. Therefore I do not know whether we should  consider ourselves privileged.

 

All of the delegates represent their respective communities  from the Diaspora, and not themselves as individuals. For that reason, the matter of the behavior of OSCE affecting each and every individual should be of concern because of what they represent-The Macedonian Diaspora-The time has come for us to take the stage and speak.

Much has been said about us. For many  days  the news papers have been talking about us, the Internet web sites the local TV channels, and we have held our peace. We even had our peaceful demonstrations.

But the time to speak the truth has now come, and we will not  hesitate to do so. As I have said, we had to put up with degrading and humiliating treatment by representative of OSCE in Skopje and also the terrorists and bandits and others “welcome with AK-47’s”.

There has been considerable Macedonian emigration to United States, UK, Canada, Australia and other countries in Europe ( and EU as well). More than 500,000 Macedonians have come to United States alone  during the decades of ethnic cleansing  beginning in 1900’s and still ongoing as a process, forced by economic reasons to live  their homeland, the land in which  they would have preferred to live, and the land  to which they would like to return. These Macedonians have devoted themselves to work and they respected the laws. And naturally they felt close to their country  and to the crisis and to the terrorist invasion. Experiencing the never ending ethnic cleansing and genocide, that they themselves have been victims of.

They never had problems, but Macedonia did.

But  another different type of immigrants were here to. War criminals and nazi collaborators, Bulgarian occupational forces collaborators and murderers of their own Macedonian compatriots. Some of them even managed to put together  at one time even what was considered significant movement: MPO, fighting under the cover of the name “Macedonian” for the interests of Bulgaria, and de-facto against the interests of Macedonians and Macedonia. Naturally their activity has been reflected in their behavior causing frequent incidents between this individuals and Macedonians that were identified as leadership of the Diaspora at any given time, working in a honest way .

Incidents  that are provoked by those who drew encouragement  from the systematic  composition against Macedonia and the connivance of the authorities.

 

The Macedonian Diaspora is type of man that they( the enemies of Macedonia and other traitors) desperately seek to depict of-and buying us off or seducing us in some way with official airport scenarios.

 

Let us speak of the problems of Macedonia. Some of you may be well informed, other not- it all depends of the sources of information. As far  as the world is concerned the problem of Macedonia that has arisen in the last two years  is a new one!

Previously there were few reasons for the world to know that Macedonia existed with exceptions of the fact that Macedonia was The Cradle of Literacy, The cradle of Christianity, The Motherland of Alexander the Macedonian…and the argument with Greece over  the constitutional name of Macedonia vs. imposed slander FYROM.

 

Even for many US citizen , Macedonia was seen as a friend of United States and had presence of US troops invited by former President Gligorov following the breakaway from Yugoslavia.

 

What had once happened to Cuba in 1900’s when US Congress as a proposal of Senator Platt: the law stated that Cuba’s Constitution must contain  a stipulation granting the US government the right  to intervene in Cuba’s  political affairs and to lease certain ports of Cuba for naval bases or coaling stations…In another words according to a law passed by the legislative  body of a Foreign Country, Cuba’s Constitution had to contain a stipulation with those provisions…Is happening in Macedonia in 2001!?!?!

 

The drafters of the Cuban Constitution were clearly told that without the amendment the occupation forces would not be withdrawn!!!

 

Same is now in  Macedonia in 2001 one hundred years lather, as if we were still in 1900 and the time of Ottoman Empire- Turkey).

No word on “Democracy”,” Free will of the People”, “Sovereign Country of Macedonia “  Albanian terrorist invasion from Kosovo- a UN Protectorate with KFOR troops , “Ethnic cleansing of Macedonians”, “Genocide of Macedonians”, “Agreement for Stabilization and Association with EU” etc.

That is to say, the legislative  body of a foreign country  imposed upon Cuba by force, its right to intervene and its  right to lease bases or naval stations.

Again the same thing 100 years lather in Macedonia so many thousands of miles away from US soil.

And as it was suggested by F.Castro in his speech  9/26/1960-(Exactly 41 years ago):” It should  be a good thing for countries  just entering  the United Nations, countries just beginning their independent life, to bear our history in mind”…”They may find  similarities awaiting them along their own road, and if not they, then those who may came after them, or their children or grandchildren-although it seems to us we shell not have to wait that long.”…

Same or similar approach was taken on Macedonia with the involvement  of the EU, NATO and US  facilitators and  so on and so forth.( See “Agreement” and violated paragraphs of the same…attached )the right of NATO and US to do what they want and as they are pleased. The will is imposed on  the Macedonian Parliament, under terrorist occupation and invasion, this time to change entire Constitution  in order to satisfy  the terrorists who invaded Macedonia in a “textbook invasion”, the  same terrorist that would not have been tolerated in their respective countries, the same terrorists trained  and financed by heir very resources!!!

Indirectly rape of the democracy and the free will of the Macedonian people is committed with the help of the same people that claim they stand for freedom and democracy.

 

All this point a new colonization of our country (Macedonia) has began. This included the “privatization” and acquisition of the best resources, concessions of public services for purposes of exploitation, commercial concessions, concessions of all types without a “single dollar” robbery of the century- illegal  privatization without denationalization and in most cases with false evaluation of the value and corruption preceding the deals.

 

All these things, together with  the imposing of the so called “Framework Agreement” for constitutional  changes turning Macedonia in to “ no man’s land”, along with “ The agreement for  Association and Stabilization with the EU transformed our country  from independent  sovereign nation and democratic country where free will  of people and with constitutional democracy, a member of UN- into  a Colony of the oligarchs from  NATO and EU.( We could add here few multinational companies  with fogged backgrounds linked to oil, drugs, crime, terrorism, narcotics, trade with human beings and a worse kind of devil’s coalition that brings in to question  the very existence of Macedonia as a state  and its people’s future at risk.

But Colonies do not speak. Colonies are not heard from until they are granted “permission” to express themselves. That is why our “Colony” and its problems were unknown to the rest of the world. CNN and the rest  of the “speakers” for the colonist oligarchs were silent.

 

In geography books  the flag of  Macedonia was constantly changing, while inside of Macedonia in parts where Macedonian-Albanian minority lived the Macedonian flag was defiantly ignored and never used, instead a neighboring Albanian flag was used in violation of the laws of Macedonia. No coat of arms, no name for Macedonia except the slander FYROM!!! But Macedonia was independent Republic!?!?

The country was hostage to Albanian nationalists political parties sponsored  by Albania, the West, and USA-Albanian powerful lobby in Washington, who were increasingly trained in terrorist warefare to be used in Yugoslavia and Kosovo.

No one should be deceived; by deceiving ourselves all we do is look ridiculous. Let no one be deceived: there was no independent Republic- there was  a colony where orders  were given by the ambassador of  the United States and NATO member countries.

We are not ashamed of having to proclaim this, since we were excluded from the process by the same people that via the Referendum from 1991 we gave the legitimacy  for the independent Republic of Macedonia.

How else would you explain that US Ambassador Enik was repetitively legitimizing the Albanian flag in Tetovo and other villages around the city without the use of the  official country flag of Macedonia??? Not to speak of the promotion of absence of  and ignoring the use of  the official Macedonian language and only use of Albanian and English in the presence of  the same Ambassador of US??? Ignoring the use   and /or existence of official Macedonian language even in the so called shameful “Framework Agreement” where only the English version is the valid one??!!?!?!(Despite the fact that the Agreement for  Stabilization and Association with  EU was written in Macedonian as well (Article 126 of the agreement with the EU).

Should Macedonians once again resort to arms to achieve its independence from the tyranny. Tyranny by whom? Tyranny  by the forces in our country who are nothing but the instrument of those who dominate our country economically, militarily, politically and associated with terrorist invader.

 

How can an unpopular system inimical to the interests of the people stay in power other then by force??? Do we have to explain to all what  military tyrannies  are? Do we have to  explain how  they have kept themselves  in power??? Do we have to explain to all what  kept them in power??? Do we have to explain  to them  what national and international interests kept them in power?

 

The military groups ( Albanian terrorists and others) that are tyrannizing our country is based  on the most extreme and reactionary sectors of the nation and, above all, on the foreign interests and criminal elements dominating our country’s institutions and territory .

Destruction of the country can be seen even by the blind.

 

Everybody here knows- and we believe  that even U.S. government recognizes it- that this was  the type of  government  preferred by the monopolies are planning to rob the country and  who wanted to destroy not only Macedonia but entire Balkan region. (the list in addition to other puppet masters of the terrorists  also includes : Tashkovich, Babamov, AMBA and alike’s…).

That explains the “surprised” Deputy Secretery of United States Armitage- asking the Macedonian Diaspora delegation:” …where have you been so far…?” and joint statement  that: “Macedonian Diaspora for the first time in history with as a organized group with plausible plan was seen by an official US Administration. 

Fact that was notoriously avoided by the official government in Skopje ( at the same time trying to promote MPO as representative of the Macedonian Diaspora). But  why???

 

Because with force you can repress every demand by the people. With force you can repress demonstrations and strikes for better living conditions and  demands for freedom and rights. With force you can repress the most deeply felt aspirations of the Nation.

That is why Macedonian government associated with dark forces (Albanian mafia and terrorist organizations) was the one preferred by the makers of US policy. This is why the government based on force was able even to win (under suspicious circumstances encircled with murders during the elections) and stay in power for so long while virtually destroying Macedonian economy and infrastructure and legalizing terrorist invasion of its territory.

Naturally whether one receives or does not receive the support by the US Government depends on circumstances. The latest events in New York and Washington DC have drastically changed the circumstances so will  the basis for support  of terrorists related  people in the government  of Macedonia.

It is obvious that  the current government of Macedonia and party leaders most suited to EU,US and NATO  are not the type most suitable to the Macedonian people.

  Therefore the Macedonian people, even at great cost in lives, is ready to threw that government out. However having all the evidence on hand  against   the deeds of the terrorists  and the association with the government officials is sufficient  for the same “international community”  under the leadership of USA to remove this government along with the terrorists and their leaders with bloody hands- saving the Macedonians from messing their own hands with blood of uninvited terrorists and their associates who came from Kosovo- a UN protectorate  under the mandate od UN Resolution 1244 to disarm the same terrorists and secure the safety and integrity of Macedonia.

 

The unemployment figure in Tetovo alone is 25,000, not to count the rest of Macedonia. The country was robed and destroyed wile the politicians only care for their seat in the office and the paycheck forgetting in that process who is paying  that check.

And as in Cuba 50 years ago- the public  services, the electricity and telephone company belong to a foreign monopolies. Oil refining sugar production, the best land, banking and the most important  industries are either destroyed  or in the hands of foreign monopolies- same as in colonized Cuba. And all that under the “excuse of privatization of the government monopolies”.

 Is Macedonia turning into pre revolution Cuba. Is Macedonia being pushed on the inevitable course that Cubans once took to take their country back from the Colonialists.

And what followed in Cuba???

Finances are similar to  Cubans 1950-60 for  Macedonia’s 1991-2001.

And again underdeveloped Macedonia, victim of unfulfilled UN Resolution 1244, unfulfilled guarantees by NATO, US,KFOR,UN for its part in the operations in the Kosovo theater, still hurting badly after the acceptance of all sorts of embargoes and 360,000 refugees (equal to 15% of its population), now even it self victim of terrorists invasion, but still financially “contributing” to the most developed countries of the world and only getting  small loans here and there, but no compensation for all of its loses, and total destabilization of Macedonia.

This situation is not applicable only to Macedonia but to the entire region-Bulgaria, Romania,Former Yugoslavia etc.

What alternative is there for the government but to betray the people? No choice is given to the government by the “international community”. Under constant treat of expending the war that Macedonia lives with for 7 months now the betrayal is being offered to its people as  a saving plan! The government is between two sides: to be true to its people and admit the betrayal, or to the invading powers and monopolies- neocolonialists oligarchs portrayed in  the terrorists and similar bandits, and defended by NATO soldiers.

 

The financial sufficit that was created proudly by the government melted over night after the first terrorists started their invasion and Macedonia begun arming itself for bare survival of its people and self defense. Further economic destruction followed along with the Albanian terrorists ethnic cleansing and genocide over the Macedonian Christians  and non Muslim population.

 

What the government should care for is to devote itself  to solving  its own problems, the country’s own freedom and rule of law. As any government concerned with its country’s progress to carry out the protection of the Constitution and the integrity  of the country and to have a plan for economic improvement and  of the standard of living of its people. To protect the freedom and the Democracy and the free will of  its people.

 

What happens with the murderers and terrorists from  the Macedonian invasion also reminds of Cuba in the 1950’s. Many countries doors are open for them and amnesty is advocated for them and even “reintegration in the society” as they were on a picnic and not part of a ethnic cleansing and genocide and criminals with deeds against humanity, bloody hands from innocent victims in the country they invaded. They are even “rehabilitated to status of freedom fighters” and similar farces, by the same international community that is outraged by the terrorism in their own back yards including the attacks in New York and Washington DC.

Macedonia is the injured party, same way  US  is now days by the same international terrorism.

The terrorists in Macedonia have been beaten and they raised white flags to surrender, only to be saved and “evacuated” by US army troops in order to hide the evidence of  the association with the very terrorists.

Macedonia could easily have considered these foreign officers and instructors along with mercenaries who fought or trained with the terrorists for and in Macedonian invasion -enemies of the people to be prisoners of war. Macedonia merely asked the members of that terrorist mission to go home.

 

It is needless to say that the embargoes and other pressures on Macedonia’s suppliers  with weapons  and  military aid are in clear violation of universally recognized right-Macedonia’s guaranteed right to self defense. The same  self defense that Secretary of US Defense Ramsfield  was quoted as saying for dozens of times following the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington DC.

 

And again as in 1950’s  when US then denied supplying  weapons to Batista’s army in Cuba- in a very same way is denying supplying the Albanian terrorists. Another example is the  “Essential harvest” collecting from the terrorists what is  museum values weapons  and not a single modern weapon with night vision scopes and silencers  etc. Not to talk about much more sophisticated and expensive rocket launchers?!!?!

 

So this is not a novel. To the Macedonians perhaps it was explained as a form of “Technical aid” to the terrorists  “called rebels”!!!

Again it is needless to bring up the fact that Albanian terrorists are deeply and closely related to entities and trained by Osama Bin Laden’s structures.

 

The arms of the terrorists, no matter how sophisticated , even they are no match for the Macedonian army and police (let’s not forget Macedonia is a country- terrorists are coming from a international protectorate and are TERRORISTS), but can certainly be very useful to the terrorists for oppressing unarmed people and civilians, for acts of terrorism, for ethnic cleansing, for genocide of Macedonian villages and cities, to intimidate people. 

The same weapons are useful for defending  the terrorists representatives and delivering treats and for black mail to the “clean” government officials, for kidnapping and execution of innocent victims (even sadistic and barbaric blowing up of people’s bodies a part in peaces) and defending the interests of the Albanian Mafia.

 

All this is happening while the Macedonian Army and Police is placed “under house arrest and control” by occupational forces of NATO and  “controllers” of  OSCE ( yes the same kind like those 2000 distributed in Kosovo  and removed prior to the  bombing of Yugoslavia) and silenced or “badmouthed” by CNN  on a ”as needed (PRN)” basis in the case they defend the Macedonian positions or fight the terrorists.

 

It is not our intention to keep anybody awake at night. We are expressing facts- although  facts  are enough to keep many people awake at night.

What we are doing now, we are doing with our eyes wide open and above all fully convinced of our right to do it!

And what  can Macedonia do when confronted  by that reality? Turn to United Nations.

Go to UN to denounce the terrorist, political and economic aggression. The UN has powers to investigate these matters, the UN in the hierarchy of international organizations, stands at the head.

It has authority even that   of the  Organization of American States and EU and NATO.

But since the Macedonian “puppet” government under pressure and treats is fully controlled and even the official ambassador to very UN will not speak in the interest of Macedonia and its people-

We the Macedonian Diaspora as the only Free Will Macedonian Entity (despite the pressures on us as well) are addressing  the UN and other international authorities with this Memorandum.

 

In law there is something called “impossible condition”. That is if the country or entity  considers that is incapable  of committing a certain crime, it is enough to say:” There is  no possibility that Russia (or Ukraine or other  country for that matter of speaking) will support Macedonia, because  there is no possibility that Albanian terrorists or KFOR, or KPK will attack Macedonia”.

But the attack did occur, and the treats are being delivered on a daily basis ( even from NATO’s  Lord Robertson) :”you either change( kill) your constitution (turn your country in to Colony), or it will be a war!!!”

The help to Macedonia has been blocked by NATO and US/EU joint actions, and instead intervention  by any other from above (NATO, US,EU) meaning (Russia, Bulgaria, Serbia,Yugoslavia etc.) would be condemned?!?!?!  What is that called?

 

What about the terrorist  invasion of Macedonia (West calls the terrorists in Macedonia “rebels”, ”freedom fighter”, etc. and is maybe planning to nominate some for Nobel Peace Price??!!?!?

Of curse there is something we should  remember, which should concern us all to some extent. We are all, without any  exceptions here, actors and participants in a crucial moment in the history of humanity. This occurs above all when we forget that in addition to having the privilege of playing a part in this all important moment of history, some day history itself will judge us for our acts.

 

In the  face of the silent refusal do defend our country from the terrorism, we smile because history itself  will judge this episode. I say this without bitterness. It is difficult to condemn men; men are often the playthings of circumstance.

 

And we, who know the history of our  noble, generous  country and biblical land of Macedonia, and are exceptional witnesses  to what our country  is going through today, understand how terrible it is for a nations economy  and its very life to be subject to the military and economic might of a foreign  countries  simultaneously associated with unpunished terrorists, whom instead being disarmed in Kosovo (according to UN Resolution 1244)were turned in to legitimized army KPK, and are now symbolically disarmed of arms with antique and museum value- but in Macedonia, after invading Macedonia out of UN Protectorate (with 50,000 NATO –KFOR troops with a mandate that was not carried out); and after destroying country’s peace and harmony and inflicting serious wounds to Macedonia and the entire region, a factual matter that was guaranteed  to Macedonia for its role in the Kosovo scenario. The same terrorists forces  have committed crimes against humanity, ethnic cleansing, genocide of Macedonians and Serbs and other  Christians and non-Albanians, non-Muslims.

 

We all do respect to this organization (UN) we must state  here what lessons our people have learned from this. Macedonian people are  a people who have learned  much, a people  who we proudly  say are equal to the  role they are  playing at this  moment and the  heroic struggle  they are carrying out, while confronted by so much evil and injustice.

 

They have learned  much in the school  of these recent international events and especially the last ten years of systematic destruction of what once was their country to: SFR Yugoslavia and its peoples.

That is why they know that in the end, when our country’s rights have been denied, when aggressive  terrorists forces or their allies  attack it- our people themselves have the supreme and heroic recourse of resisting when Macedonia’s rights are not safeguarded in either OSCE,EU, or UN.

 

That is why the small countries still do not feel so certain that our rights will be preserved, that the free will of our people will prevail over the imposed  Neocolonial  rules of destruction of sovereign countries.

That is why when the small countries like Macedonia want to be free- we know that we are doing so on our own account and at our own risk.

Because  in truth the peoples when they defend a just cause can rely on their own energies.

It is not matter of handful of man-delegation from the Diaspora, as many are trying to paint us – trying to save the country. It is  a matter of  a whole people ruling the country, firmly united and  great visionearing consciousness  defending his free will and rights (helped by the Macedonian Diaspora). The enemies of Macedonia should know this, because if they do not, they are making a terrible mistake.

 

We invite everyone from UN and all the US Senators and Congressman, EU Councilman  to visit Macedonia and the Macedonian refugees, the way they did it when Macedonia embraced 360,000 (mostly Albanian) refugees from Kosovo risking its own stability and destiny while showing what the Macedonians are made of- humanity and  Christian values of helping those in need.

They should all know: We can not accept the conditions, circumstances and negotiations leading to unacceptable  shameful “Framework Agreement” demanding change of entire constitution under the treat of all out war and destruction!

 This unilateral pressure is in clear violation with  the international law and the Agreement for Association and Stabilization  with EU signed earlier this year.

 

First of all US Government ,EU, NATO are aiding the terrorists and the evil forces by deeds done and not done, and moves that promote the Ethnic Cleansing  and genocide  committed by the Kosovo and Albanian terrorists after the Resolution 1244  was not fulfilled and followed.

We shell remind everyone that we are not  living in the era of the Flintlock Rifle. Especially during the “Essential harvest” in Macedonia collecting  and “harvesting” museum rifles.

Don’t people from NATO realize  that we are living in the atomic age, whose  disastrous destructive force could not  even been imagined by Dante or Leonardo da Vinchi , with all their imagination, because it surpasses what man was ever able to imagine.

 

As far as we are concerned, I must say with all due respect that the world‘s problems are not settled by treats or by sowing fear.

And what about our small and modest biblical nation? We  exist whether they like it or not. Our small and modest  nation must accept its fate. Our people are not frightened by the treats of war that will ultimately result in liberation of our Country from the terrorists chords and from the Colonial control and will result in the Rule of  law above all, and the rule of the FREE WILL OF OUR PEOPLE!

That was the dream of countless victims for Macedonian freedom throughout history!

 

That is why we must state here that all this talk of attacks  and war is intended primarily to create hysteria and to set the stage for  attacks against our country.

 

Macedonian is all we have  and we will defend it to the last Macedonian!!!

 

We state this here  categorically, but  we are declaring this  only after being invaded by terrorists and imminent danger is sought for destruction and split of our country  with loss of innocent lives.

Macedonian Army and Police  are fully capable of defending Macedonia and they will!!!

This is why all Macedonians  will stand  behind the defenders of our freedom and democracy and the FREE WILL OF THE PEOPLE!!!
