L-I: IGNORANCE OR LACK OF INTEGRITY - WHICH IS IT?

More generally I am wondering why I should take Johannes seriously?
Lou says I call people on the phone. Well, I don't just call anyone. It's
you know, like, journalism. I have interviewed
a) the leader of the Jewish Community in Pristina, expelled by the KLA
b) the guy who had the job of inspecting Albanian sabotage in Kosovo power
plants
c) the members of the women's committee in Orahovac where Serbs have been put
in Warsaw-ghetto conditions, and so on.
I am in touch with reporters (plural) who have been in Kosovo at various
times over the past 6 months.
Other interviews on Emperors clothes include leaders of the anti-secesionist
Albanians. (How come there are no pro-secessionist Serbs??? Answer:
secessionism is based on hatred of Serbs...)
The New York Times stuff I and others have posted is as "original" as any
research gets.
It's all simply ignored.
The El Pais article on the Spanish Forensic Experts which Emerpros Clothes
disseminated was picked up by 100 newspapers. The phony War Crimes Tribunal
had to make a public response. I and my cohorts do our homework.
On expulsions, Johannes should read my text from which he's quoting - why do
I have to repost when he apparently don't bother to read?
Part of the Albanian population is creating fasscism in Kosovo based on
racism encouraged for years by Germany. Johnanes, you are German, so your
position on this is particularly bad. Like an American who says "Why do we
have to prove the southern whites are bad and the blacks are progressive when
capitalism is attacking ALL of them." Well, as with the whites, not all
Albanians are stone racist - but the KLA is now dominant - and meanwhile the
Serbian government feeds Albanian refugees from Kosovo.
And please don't tell me you wrote articles about racism in German papers
because that's horseshit when you are blind to - no, apologizing for - the
key focus of German racism for the past 100 year: hatred of Serbs and Roma.
(The Germans can hardly focus on Jews - that's considered gauche nowand
anyway in the Balkans they were mostly killed the last time around.)
By the way, Johannes, on 3/3 you posted a reply to my point that Albanians
were demanding secession before 1989. Your reply suggested you were
knowledgeable. If you are knowledgeable, you demonstrated complete lack of
integrity. IF you are not knowledgeable , why do you pretend to have
knowledge?
Here was your reply::
"I dont know of which area you are speaking, but before 1989 the demands
raised by Kosovo Albanians were to give Kosovo a status of a republic inside
Yugoslavia."
That's what you said. It sounds real good, eh? I explained why it's
COMPLETELY deceptive. It was incumbant on you to then comment, but you made
no reply. I then posted the following from the NY Times:
The New York Times
Friday, October 5, 1984,
Yugoslavia's Albanians: Poor, Proud and Prolific
By Michael T. Kaufman
...The thrust toward republic status, for example,
is in large measure motivated by the clause in the
Yugoslav Constitution that technically permits any
republic to secede.
As explained by a knot of [Albanian] students in
Pristina, this right to withdraw could pave way for
creating a greater Albania, linking Kosovo with the
present Albania... with the capital shifting from
Tirana to Pristina...
The students had no answers as to how such a nation
could support itself [!!!!]...
[U]nder the complicated transfer arrangement, Kosovo receives
70 percent of its budget from the richer components of the
Yugoslav union....[END OF EXCERPT]
Again you made no reply. Either you don't know the period AT ALL because
anybody who does know the period AT ALL knows this stuff about republics and
secession and the '74 constitution - or you DO know the period and you were
trying to pull a fast one. That is a compelete lack of integrity. In either
case, why should anyone now take anything you say on this subject seriously?
Now you continue to snap at my heels. You and your two pals (or is this a
bigger collective?) seem to take turns. Maybe this is a kinda like a game,
huh?
