The State Is A Lie

It has been than three weeks since the occupied Serbian province of http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=3496, including that of the U.S.
Washington’s reaction – howls of self-righteous indignation – exposed the full frontal hypocrisy of the Empire. The embassy attack was denounced as a gross violation of U.S. sovereignty, even as State Department officials were busily spreading falsehoods about the U.S. http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=3524 of Serbian sovereignty as something desirable, acceptable and proper. American media just about declared an open season on Serbs.Already, there is blowback from the decision to detach Kosovo from Serbia and recognize it as a EU protectorate. Separatists the world over have taken note of the development, and despite official proclamations from Washington, London, Paris and Berlin, very much believe it is a precedent for the future. Last week, Costa Rica recognized Kosovo – and threw in Palestine while at it.
Failed From The Start
Declaring “independence” of Kosovo, leader of the terrorist KLA and “prime minister” of the separatist province, Hashim Thaci, boasted how he would get a hundred recognitions in no time. So far, there have been less than thirty, out of nearly two hundred states in the world.
Torturing the body and spirit of UNSCR 1244, the EU dispatched a mission to the province, ostensibly to “help out” the Thaci government. The incongruously named EULEX (“lex” meaning “law,” where there just isn’t any), however, bears more resemblance to the protectorate established in nearby Bosnia, with Dutch “diplomat” Peter Feith as acting viceroy. Feith, by the way, is no stranger to working with the KLA. In 2001, he was the NATO envoy who brokered an end to their banditry in southern Serbia.
Feith is also the head of the International Steering Group, a body of countries that have recognized the “independence” of Kosovo and are taking a hand in steering it. The ISG was envisioned by the failed Ahtisaari plan, never approved by the UN and vehemently rejected by Belgrade. It appears the KLA regime’s sponsors are trying to implement it anyway. However, further complicating things, the UN has not authorized the EU mission, and there appears to be quite a jurisdictional conflict between it and UNMIK. Between the UN, the EU, the Albanians, and the Serbs’ refusal to recognize the new regime, the province is an even bigger mess than at any point since 1999.
