(One 30-minute segment)

Updat­ing devel­op­ments in post-war Kosovo, this pro­gram begins with state­ments by the deputy mayor of Var­varin, Yugoslavia. Dis­cussing storms and an earth­quake that had com­pounded the trou­bles result­ing from the bomb­ing of the town, the deputy mayor voiced the opin­ion that both had been caused by “the CIA”. He went on to describe what was read­ily rec­og­niz­able as project HAARP. (See also: FTRs 1, 30, 69, 79, 128, 156.) Next, the dis­cus­sion high­lights the fact that the KLA is becom­ing the de facto gov­ern­ment in Kosovo. It appears that the KLA is remain­ing true to their crim­i­nal and fas­cist roots, loot­ing, steal­ing, killing and ter­ror­iz­ing eth­nic Alba­ni­ans who get in their way, as well as Serbs. The Ger­man “peace-keeping troops” bear respon­si­bil­ity for ush­er­ing in the KLA and uti­liz­ing them as a civic force. (As dis­cussed in FTRs 120, 147 and 161, Ger­man intel­li­gence had spon­sored and armed the KLA prior to the com­mence­ment of the bomb­ing cam­paign.) The broad­cast con­cludes with a look at Kosovo’s adop­tion of the Deutschmark as its hard cur­rency of choice, mov­ing the province a step closer to becom­ing a Ger­man colony.
