The hidden origins of the KLA

The Neo-Racist World Disorder

Behind the scenes, German civil and military intelligence services have been secretly training and equipping the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) rebels since 1996. Germany is also the principal destination for most refugees from the Balkans, and the influx of these political asylum immigrants has become a political and financial controversy among the German people. Unknown to most Americans is that the purported government of the "Kosovo Republic" is based in Germany, where approximately half a million Kosovars now live.

As the Kosovar refugee exodus continues, initiated by the failed KLA guerilla offensive in 1998, substantial evidence is surfacing that German covert 'diplomacy' has supported, if not initiated and organized, the KLA since its inception in February 1996. The government of Helmut Kohl, former German chancellor, had officially and publicly supported the pro-NATO western alliance in their demands that Slobodan Milosevic, the Yugoslavian president, end his incursion into Kosovo and 'persuade' him to enter negotiations with the rebellious Albanians in the province.

The birth of the KLA in 1996 began with the appointment of Hasjorg Geiger as the new head of the Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND), the German Federal Intelligence Service. [The BND was founded in 1956 through the reformation of the semi-official Gehlen Organization. It answers directly to the German Chancellor and has a staff of nearly 7,000 people]. One of his first operations was to establish one of the largest BND regional stations in Tirana, the Albanian capital. BND agents have worked hand-in-hand with the leaders of the SHiK, the Albanian secret service. The SHiK was the successor to the Sigurimi, the feared communist-era security service, many of whose agents are still active. The BND agents were in charge of selecting recruits for the KLA command structure from the estimated 500,000 Kosovars in Albania.

At the same time, the BND bureau in Rome was asked to provide political intelligence back-up, including working among refugees in Trieste and Bari, two of the principal entry points for Albanian refugees. The German Militaramschirmdienst (MAD), the military intelligence division, and special German commandos, including the Kommandos Spezialkrafte (KSK), are also involved in training the KLA as well as providing communications equipment for them. European reporters covering the Kosovo conflict in early 1998, when Milosevic sent police and special forces into the province to disband the KLA, were surprised to find that some of the KLA fighters wore Bundeswehr (German Army) combat jackets with identifiable German insignia still attached, even in front of television cameras. None of those pictures ever surfaced on CNN.

The MAD also provided the Albanians with phone-tapping and communication systems used by the Stasi, the former East German communist secret police. Much of the information gathered was filtered through to Albanian trained Kosovar guerrillas of the KLA. Weapons from former East Germany have been smuggled into Albania by these various German services for use by the KLA rebels, according to Dr Erick Schmidt-Enboom, a Munich based intelligence specialist.

According to French intelligence sources, the black uniformed KSK, who had previously served an active role in Bosnia in their pursuit of alleged Serbian war criminals, have been training rebel KLA commandos in northern Albania which is still controlled by supporters of Sali Berisha, the former Albanian president.

Tomislav Kersovic, a member of the Belgrade-based "Institute for Geo-Political Studies", has publicly produced documents showing that finances to subsidise the KLA were provided through an Albanian foundation known as "The Fatherland's Call", with active offices in Dusseldorf, Bonn, Stockholm, Bern and other European capitals. Pierre-Marie Gallois, a retired French general and a specialist in geopolitics, believes that there is a definite desire by German political decision-makers to destabilize the Serbs and supply the KLA with arms and training. Germany has traditionally and openly been anti-Serbian. Germany was also the first western nation to recognize an independent Croatia before the Bosnian war. It is now attempting to define a new role in the Balkan region, which it regards as vital to its interests.

Why are the Balkans, especially Kosovo, so important to Germany? The New York Times, in an article by Chris Hedges on July 8, 1998, described the real wealth of Kosovo, the Stari Trg mining complex. Hedges described the glittering veins of lead, zinc, cadmium, gold and silver in Stari Trg. According to Hedges, "The sprawling state-owned Trepca mining complex, the most valuable piece of real estate in the Balkans, is worth at least $5 billion." Trepca Trg's director, Novak Bjelic, stated "The war in Kosovo is about the mines, nothing else. In addition to all this, Kosovo has 17 billion tons of coal reserves." Perhaps now we know why Germany is so interested in destroying Yugoslavia. After all, in 1941, Nazi Germany took control of the same mining complex, an essential supply for German U-boat batteries. Batteries are still made there today along side the gold and silver production.

In World War II, the Bosnians and Croatians allied with the racist Nazis against the Serbs, who the Nazis regarded as "untermenschen" (subhumans). After Germany reunified in 1989, it began to take a more expansionist attitude toward Eastern Europe, and Yugoslavia in particular. In 1990, Germany urged the Bush administration to help it dismantle Yugoslavia. As history now proves, George Bush (with his New World Order agenda) was happy to comply, since the US had long standing plans to overthrow Yugoslavia's government since the days of Tito's regime.

The Germans encouraged and supported Croatia in it's desire to secede from Yugoslavia, and Bosnia soon followed. Germany immediately recognized the new nations, forcing the hand of the European Community, which had wanted to take a more cautious and diplomatic approach. The new Croatian state even adopted the flag and anthem of its former 1941 Nazi puppet regime. This is called Neo-Racism.

Despite an official UN arms embargo against Croatia and Bosnia, Western powers immediately began covertly arming them, which would have been impossible without the knowledge and cooperation of the BND. In 1994, even the CIA opened a new base in Albania to monitor troop movements and "potential targets."

American contacts with the KLA and the support of other NATO members besides Germany, namely Great Britain, are a matter of record. It appears that when Milosevic's police and army units began to retaliate in force against rebel KLA guerilla attacks on Serbian police stations in early 1998, Germany sounded an alarm for open and official support from NATO and the US. Continuing Helmut Kohl's previous support for the KLA and the unofficial Kosovo Republic, the US entered a more active role of 'forced' diplomacy. Earlier this year in France, when Serbia rejected the US written alleged "peace plan" over the proposed occupation of NATO military troops in Kosovo, the threat of US-NATO bombings was made. We all know the outcome.

Germany has supported the illegal KLA and the unrecognized Kosovo Republic with arms, ammunition, supplies, covert operations and military training since 1996. Germany is the European leader of NATO. Now, NATO and the US are bombing the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, a lawful sovereign nation recognized by the UN and international treaties. Does anyone see anything wrong with this picture? According to international law and United Nations recognized treaties, NATO and German leaders should be tried for illegal military aggression and war crimes. Instead, NATO wants to bring Milosevic and his leaders before the international court for the same thing.

This is not another Viet Nam for the US. It's much worse than that. What we are witnessing is the official birth of a "New World Disorder" and, if it is not stopped very shortly, the beginning of a New World War. China and Russia, who have formed diplomatic and military alliances over the past few years, and are now demanding that NATO cease all bombings of Serbia.

Germany has repeated her traditional history of European aggression once again in this century, but this time the US and Britain are her allies. When will we ever learn?
