3:41 pm
a high sounding name national i'm in for democracy or anybody going in and welcome. it's good to have you all here to help celebrate the launching of a program with a vision an a and a noble purpose the establishment of the national endowment goes right to the heart of america's faith in democratic ideals and institutions but however alan weinstein who planned the anybody told the washington post in one thousand nine hundred one that a lot of what we do today was done covertly twenty five years ago by the cia this basically means that the anybody was really a sort of cia spin on. but i will only react to situations as i haven't read the reports so i'm letting the players know i will leave them to the state department to comment on your letter play like the muslims say it's six am a car is on the docket. no more weasel words

3:43 pm
cover all sides of the story just in case one of them happens to be accurate. that was funny but it's close and for the treatment of mike think. it's because one full attention and the mainstream media work side by side with you is actually on here. and our teen years we have a different right. ok because the news of the world just is not this funny i'm not laughing dammit i'm not hi. i'm. you guys sort of jokes well hang on to me that i am. instead of having just the cia going around behind the scenes and trying to manipulate the process secretly by inserting money here and instructions there and
3:44 pm
so forth they have now a psychic which is this national endowment for democracy all year any day those the anybody started handing out generous bribes in every corner of yugoslavia financing opposition groups buying up hungry young journalists with dreams of a new life and financing trade union opposition pro i.m.f. economists and human rights n.g.o.s the national endowment for democracy also controls and pays for the center for international private enterprise which in turn funded the g seventy who were the g seventeen they were an ngo made up of seventeen free market economists with three of the leading members being washington based as members of the international monetary fund and world bank where each jacob and bronco milan are each coordinator professor of a selling book which worked closely with the world bank and as the minister of privatization under yugoslav premier on to markovitch he was in charge of the world bank bankruptcy program in yugoslavia during one thousand nine hundred nine in one thousand nine hundred which led to the devastation of the yugoslav economy other
3:45 pm
members of the g. seventeen can solve for the world bank and ten world bank organize meetings in two thousand and two they formed a political party in serbia and since then the spite the fact that in every election they got him a tween seven and eleven percent of the popular vote she seventeen controlled the ministry of finance and the ministry of economy of serbia this is not simply a group of economists it is a network the i.m.f. and world bank used this network to impose their policies in yugoslavia and how do they do it first they force governments to do away with any social protection subsidized food or rent free transportation from l. for care you know all those things you don't really need out there when you cut back in public sector spending you cut wages you cut employment you abolish worker management enterprises in other words you force your people to work harder for less . second they use economic manipulation and new laws to force businesses public and private into bankruptcy the world bank describes the second isn't as a trigger as
3:46 pm
a trigger mechanism they use that they say we need to trigger the bankruptcy of us love interest. then these businesses are taken over by a small clique of leveraged buyout speculators and other powerful foreign economic interests the purchase the businesses at rock bottom prices creditors would simply take hold of these all of these enterprises within a forty five day period and either the enterprise that closed or it was five it just this is called privatization through liquidation world bank data confirms in under book teaches direction from january one thousand nine hundred ninety s. attender in one thousand nine hundred more than one thousand one hundred industrial firms were wiped out. the standard of living declined eighteen percent between january and october one thousand nine hundred this downturn raise unemployment twenty percent and thus increased tensions between republics impoverished the
3:47 pm
population through this these sweeping i.m.f. reforms which in turn contributed to your heightening socialistic strive so you have the satisfaction of everybody and everybody is looking for a guilty party. that you can all session with stands on the stool or sit. or neighbors that. would have broken doing able to do is not just it then that's an homage to did it he skippy did that a lot was it just in a nickel big new cut going it goes with the dollar and the up and desperation prime minister marc rich visited washington to meet with president george bush he said that rising tensions among nationalities would be a consequence of his austerity privatization plan so he asked for a billion dollars in aid and said that if a didn't come there would be trouble and we all know the americans didn't want any trouble in november one nine hundred ninety president george bush went to the u.s.
3:48 pm
congress and pressured them to pass the foreign appropriations law that called for the cutting off all aid and credits the yugoslavian the law also demanded that if any republic in yugoslavia wanted further u.s. aid it would have to break away from yugoslavia and declare its independence ok it's not a conspiracy theory it's not my speculation it's not my analysis it's a public law it's a public law that required the us state department approval of election procedures and results in every one of the republics it required that the republicans do not hold national elections but hold the lections only in their own republics and that the aid would go chill individually to those republics and when the a did go. it went to those groups which the us defined as democratic groups which meant small rightwing ultra nationalist and even fascistic parties this fracturing of
3:49 pm
yugoslavia was not the result of preexisting internal divisions those internal divisions were high and as a result of bug outside intervention by one thousand nine hundred one the inflation was two hundred percent and the yugoslav federal government was unable to pay the enormous interest on its foreign debt or even to arrange the purchase of raw materials for its industry credit collapsed and recriminations broke out on all sides cooperation between the republics and the belgrade central government virtually ceased the republics were not getting any money from the federal government they were transferring the tax revenues so the whole federal fiscal structure had collapsed and the republics were left to their own devices and then came in of course the new form of nationalism as the americans demanded multiparty elections were held and economic policy was at the center of the political debate as nationalist and separatist coalitions ousted the communists in croatia bosnia
3:50 pm
and slovenia and with the republics at another stroke it's both the economy and the nation itself embarked on a vicious downward spiral. of course the local political figures did their best that calm the people down with. the. memory of them easy to answer because. you're out in the midst of the people needed a hero to save them someone with their interests at heart instead. they got these guys. in one thousand nine hundred one elections were held in the bosnian republic of yugoslavia as a big which former nazi collaborator in world war two was a candidate who had an islamist vision for the mainly chris. bosnia asked professed in this little book you wrote that there can be neither peace nor coexistence between the islam a religion and on the stomach social and political institutions alia lost the
3:51 pm
election of the moderate muslim leader feek adopted each losing the elections didn't stop our alia though he made a deal with speaker it where ali it would be president but would quit after a year or so faster than the you can see islam a declaration of the mh or his presidency was extended due to the crisis as you can have a power struggle in such tragic times and in fact there was a moment when i could have prevented the war when he signed the lisbon agreement in one thousand nine hundred two which would have made bosnia confederation of three regions didn't like this he wanted all the power luckily for him the americans didn't like this piece idea either so the american ambassador to yugoslavia one simran stepped down so my cabin was in this meeting with zimmerman and is a beggar which is a beggar it's just come back from was been and zimmerman says to him well. you know you could get a lot more from us recognition if you just waited. and mike had told me here does draw just hit the floor if you don't like it why sign. the american device and
3:52 pm
withdrew his signature fortified his power and the americans recognized that another guy who just loved his power was the one the only slobodan milosevic slovo as asses like to call him knew how to use those masses to get what he wanted. the look and help from his close friend even the president of serbia he got sent to kosovo in one thousand nine hundred seven where serbs felt threatened by vale beans during a scuffle with the police one serb asked lobel why the police was beating them putting their lives up and then rightly proclaim arrested for it. he became an overnight star was protection of all serbs all over this incident that the police were. fairly localized this guy needed bigger stage so because he was so thankful this friend event he booted him from the presidency he also got killed decades later you think that after
3:53 pm
a slow build it and he president of serbia should calm down but no he still needed a bigger stage and what luck big anniversary was coming oh as serbs are my king the six hundredth anniversary of the battle of kosovo which is the crux of their historical culture waving serbian yugoslav american canadian flags patriotic songs civil took the stage with west described as nationalist call to arms and slain the us there was no audio version of soon i was led into your home which is now a study some old war story my book when i have no problem with me so you could not see jack where you were noisy a very. good reason i quibble with you it was not a go ahead or not tsunami. killed me best case you move you can all be my that was me one hell of nicola what went on it or just your gonna do be what they want it will bless you people some of it's a quiz suited to get one delays as well it may be wasn't that inflammatory but at
3:54 pm
least the opera singers afterwards are pretty cool little own but if you think this guy had high ambitions what about a guy being compared to jesus christ i'm assuming please clean clothes to simulate heroes only one should turn in his lonely old man. and seen. plenty good on several speaking honestly changed my exam room with these morons pulls the. old leaf and the savior of the creation people trying to teach no pressure away now from you when the elections fair and square but the people around him weren't really that good at hiding what was going to happen next to the couple that at that. even these guys aren't buying it from the us government was quick to arm themselves illegally. and as it was their right what about this i mean. it seemed like
3:55 pm
war was the only option thankfully there were many citizens who just said no. if you want to so i was. this last a lot to lose if you can slavia broke up for fifty years they grew up together lived together married each other and at the center of all this was boston was a mixed population of muslim serbs and croats a sort of mini yugoslavia and itself massive antiwar rallies were held in its capital sarajevo which had the largest number of ethnically mixed marriages with a message to the politicians don't sacrifice peace for political ambition. it was higher interest in keeping yugoslavia together as a politician's decided to send
3:56 pm
a message of their own to the demonstrators. to the cities to see. slovenia in croatia were the first who decided that peaceful negotiations weren't working out for them so they unilaterally declared independence in one thousand nine hundred one. that was done in somewhat slow enough in there would be started out. bosnia followed in one thousand nine hundred two of them were quickly recognized by the west when the white house announced that we would be recognizing slowing it royce in bosnia we had the state department had no idea what that decision would be before it was announced which is a very peculiar. state of affairs i was a desk officer and office director nobody at the working level had any idea what the white house would decide so you can say that the decision was
3:57 pm
a political one it was not based on a careful consideration of what recognition might entail it was in essence a dependable way of making conflict inevitable the question was would the people buy it. ingenues was huge and it vulgarize ation over darwin science and punishment for an uncommitted crying i was never released from them for believing in eighty feebleminded still today for the few i don't know why he loves me but i still don't know why genetic improvement through forced sterilization the basis for nazi ideology don't stop at just sterilizing yet not going to now go to the point of death. for years rarely discussed. till now i'd really rather not talk about that right.
