Serbian Mass Murder Finally Arrested

-
Miodrag Momic Finally to Face His Sins
-


-
Wanted since the end of the Bosnian War, "Guy Monier" has finally been arrested by French police. He was wanted for participation in the mass murder of 8,000 or more Bosnian Muslims. It has taken nearly twenty years for the paramilitary dog to be dragged to jail.
-
Momic will soon be extradited to Serbia where he will most likely only receive 20 years in prison for his participation in the deaths of thousands. His confession or conviction will mean little to the Serbs seeing as how four of his counterparts received the same measly sentence. This is how Serbian courts reward "Scorpion" mercenaries.
-
The crime he is being convicted with falls under the title of "Crimes Against Humanity"... or Genocide.
-
The reason...
-
During July of 1995 the Scorpions, and possibly the Greek Volunteer Guard, seized the UN protected "safe zone" of Srebrenica, a Bosnian city. They then went on to round up all the Muslims they could find within the city. The Hell they unleashed became rather reminiscent of the Nazi SS in action. Their victims were given no chance to flee or fight.
-
Many of the witnesses told UN forces just how the "fighting" was being done. The "civil war" was being fought by armed Serbs and defenseless Muslim Bosnians. The Bosnians in this case were often being impaled or clubbed to death so as to save ammunition. Others were tortured and then killed. None were given an opportunity to flee.
-
At the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia the presiding judge, Theodor Meron stated...
-
"By seeking to eliminate a part of the Bosnian Muslims, the Bosnian Serb forces committed genocide. They targeted for extinction the 40,000 Bosnian Muslims living in Srebrenica, a group which was emblematic of the Bosnian Muslims in general. They stripped all the male Muslim prisoners, military and civilian, elderly and young, of their personal belongings and identification, and deliberately and methodically killed them solely on the basis of their identity."
-
The Scorpions also participated in the mass rapes of Muslim women and children so as to deprive the population of any form of dignity. They slaughtered pregnant women and infants in an attempt to destroy the next generation of Bosnian Muslims. Young women and girls were often used as "sex slaves" and treated as property by Serbs. And yet Miodrag Momic decided to hide from his sins by fleeing to France... an option he openly denied his victims.
-
If it were up to me he would be publicly executed in the worst way possible. Perhaps he should be drawn and quartered or just simply hung. But most likely he will be able to walk out of prison a free man at the age of 67... something his 8,000 or more victims never got a chance to do... be free.
-
Instead they were bombarded by artillery and harassed by snipers the entire time the UN forces "protected" them. Then they were overrun and rounded up like animals. Those who were not killed in the days that followed would be shipped off to concentration camps where guards would take their time torturing them to death. The women would be sold or destroyed by the rapist and perverts on the Serbian side of the war.
-
May Momic's soul rot in Hell.

"They Turn You Into A Racist"

-
Roma or Romanian? Doesn't really matter much in Italy.
-

-
In America a child born on United States' soil is automatically born an American citizen. In Italy a Roma born upon Italian soil is not an Italian citizen. It doesn't matter if the child is born to parents who were also born in Italy. The fact that they are Roma puts them into a state of "political limbo". Their ethnicity automatically denies them citizenship to the country in which they were born and raised.
-
Many Roma children in Italy can look back at their ancestry and find generation after generation of Italian born Romany ancestors. Their fathers were Italian and their father's fathers were Italian. But they are not... not according to the Italian government that is.
-
If you look at any Roma who have been long term residents of Italy you will not be able to find much of a distinction between them and other Italians. Of course their skin color might be a little off white I suppose. But their hair, their clothes, and their language are all Italian.
-
The quote I started this post with however shows the distinction white Italians seem to be making between themselves and the Rom. It is a distinction that ironically does not apply to the difference between a Romanian and a Roma.
-
So I will be making that distinction for them.
-
The Romany are an ethnic group with vast differences between one group of Roma in one country and another group of Roma in another country. One might even notice a distinct difference between a family of Roma living in one house to the family of Roma living in the next. But that difference can be said to exist between any group of people from any ethnic or nationalistic background. The thing that makes a Romanian different from a Roma is the fact that a Romanian is a person of any ethnic origin who happens to be a Romanian citizen. A Roma is a person of Romany ethnicity.
-
So the main reason for race baiting in Italy does not persist from the idea that Roma immigrated to Italy (some as far back as the 14Th to 15Th century) but from the fact that the EU's borders are "open".
-
With the gates having been flung open and the ascension of Romania and Bulgaria to statehood in the EU the flood of immigrants began. Romanians hungry for work and a chance for a better life rushed into the Western Europeans' world. Italy was no exception.
-
Other immigrants have appeared in recent years as northern Africans have begun flowing into Europe. They seem to have favored France and Italy as places to settle. Muslims from the Middle East have also taken to the two xenophobic states. And this is what has led to Italian resentment of all immigrants.
-

-
The Roma are just setting between a rock and a hard place. If they leave Italy, their long lived home, they become immigrants in other neighboring countries... countries that also resent immigrants. If they stay they remain the "targets of opportunity" for the ever increasing xenophobic Italians.
-
So what to do?
-
Hungary currently holds the presidency in the EU. They have made the Roma a priority in Europe. A priority group to be dealt with in a way that Europe has only promised for nearly a decade now. Hungary wants to address the crimes the Roma have been forced to suffer at the hands of European states and to fix the issues these mistreatments have caused. After that they want to integrate Roma into the European societies in which they currently live. And this is the issue with which they will most likely meet the most resistance.
-
It has been a long standing policy in Italy, France, and neighboring countries that the Roma can not be integrated in their societies. This past summer they (and even Germany) proved this point by deporting Roma they accused of being in their countries illegally. The fact was that none of the deported Roma were ever proven to have been illegal immigrants. But that wasn't the point... France and Italy proved they don't want Roma in their countries.
-
These countries have however shown that they believe countries like Hungary, where Roma have suffered attacks, should be integrated there. They just don't seem to believe that the Romany should be allowed to enter into the Western societies.
-
So how can Hungary force these xenophobic countries into the "multicultural" utopia that the "progressives" in the EU Parliament dream of?
-
They can't.
-
History shows us that in a time of economic depression that the people of Europe seem to seek out nationalism in its worse form. They crave a "white" Europe when times go sour. And that is what we are witnessing right now. A Europe that is suffering from a new strain of xenophobia.
-
The only way Hungary can stem the tide of the far-right in Europe is to first purge itself of political parties like Jobbik... a party that is growing in Hungary. It must then make it a mission to fight and destroy the new jackboots in the EU government itself. From its seat of power in the EU it needs to destroy the "tolerance" of antisemitism in places like Holland. And it must force countries to punish and isolate the new Nazi style groups in Europe.
-
However we will most likely not be seeing that aggressive of a policy coming out of Hungary. We will be lucky if we even see them accomplish anything that the EU has promised the Roma since 2005.

Failure to Comply

A Lack of Conformity...
-


-
How is that people like President Barack Obama can commonly be heard preaching the tenants of democracy... one being the inalienable Human Rights... and yet we watch as our fellow democratic societies violate the rights of their own citizens? I'm not talking about China. I'm not talking about Saudi Arabia. I'm talking about European democratic societies. Our old friends from across the "pond".
-
If you have been reading Alder's Ledge for long you should now be aware of the growing issues with the Europeans' violations of human rights. Not only has anti-Semitism made a comeback in the European mindset but the xenophobia has isolated Romani living in Europe. Targeting of Roma has grown rather intense over the past few years alone as France and Italy have deported Roma in great numbers.
-
It is my opinion that European countries are trying to strip legal citizens of the European Union of their rights as citizens simply because the targeted community's ethnicity. By deporting the Roma to countries outside the European Union the governments are making it impossible for the Roma to claim the said rights. Instead the Roma find themselves in worse poverty than they had suffered back in France and Italy. And to make things worse, the deported Roma are considered less than second-class citizens in their new homes.
-
It is hard to prove such allegations and near impossible seeing as how news from across the pond is hard to come by and difficult to believe. Most of the news agencies and news papers from Europe appear to mask what they find embarrassing about their home countries while pointing toward the United States as a "model violator of human rights".
-
However when you hear the slogan "Hamas, Hamas, All the Jews to the Gas" being chanted at "football" games you have to realize that human rights is an issue in Europe. You can't ignore the reference. It doesn't happen by accident. And the fact that the fellow Europeans, the ones not shouting it, don't stop it... they become complacent to the violent rhetoric.
-
In England the following video brought to us by CNN shows how violent the attacks on human rights (the right to live in peace) in even the moderate country of England have become.
-

-
Meanwhile in Italy, a breeding ground for xenophobic hatred, the attacks on human rights take on an entirely different appearance.
-

-
But none of this should be news for those of you who have been reading this blog over the past few months. So why do we care? Why does it matter what Europe does to its own citizens?
-
We have been witnessing the violations of human rights in China for decades. But we can't do or say anything about those violations because of our own. And we will never be capable of being taken seriously due to those violations.
-
Western democracies can not nor should not be taking part in the degradation of human life and the value of it. It is obvious that we do not out right destroy human life but rather attack the value of it. We isolate the targeted group and punish them nearly relentlessly. In doing this we usually deprive the targeted community of the common liberties we here in western democracies cherish most.
-
For the Jewish community in Holland this has been a way of life for the past several years. The Holland community has blamed it upon the "immigrant population". They claim that the Jewish community has brought it upon itself since they continue to supposedly support the Israeli issues with the Palestinians. Yet most of the liberal minded Dutch don't seem to realize that they themselves are denying Holland's Jewish community of their civil liberties by allowing the persistent attacks.
-
So why can't we here in the west preach "Human Rights" to the countries that need it most?
-
Simple. They view us as being weak on the enforcement of common Human Rights laws. They appear to believe that if we can't enforce the laws here at home than we can't be trusted to enforce them abroad.
-
Take Rwanda for example. This is a country that has suffered a genocide in its very recent past. Yet it continues to suppress the rights of its citizens in much the same ways as before the 1994 genocide. America and its European allies however do not seem willing to address the issue. And China, who has investments in Africa, will not dare talk about Rwanda's current human rights violations.
-
And if we did talk to China about Rwanda... well there is always the issue of France's Roma deportations to bring up. We are blocked from taking on such clear violations and the violators themselves due to our own weaknesses. We can't act against China or Rwanda due to our own weakness when it comes to our allies in Europe.
-
Those of you reading this blog can take action however. Unlike our government, you can make your voices heard. By writing your Congressman you can let him/her know that this issue does matter to you. By writing your Senator you can make our government listen.
-
You can even write President Barack Obama himself if you want. After all, Barack did promise to officially recognize the Armenian Genocide... which he has not.

"We Are Europeans"

-
"We are Europeans, let me remind you, and must have the same rights as any other resident, with the same opportunities available to every European," Zoni Weisz, Survivor of the Holocaust.
-

-
Ede and Unku, was once a book that Nazi Germany deemed to be "un-German" due to its tale about a German boy falling in love with a Roma girl. It is now going to be the name of a Berlin road in commemoration of the estimated 500,000 Roma who died in the Holocaust.
-
Johann Trollmann, a Sinti "Gypsy" who won the German light-heavyweight title but was not given the title by the Nazis in 1933. The Nazis then had him sent to die in a concentration camp. Now Germany is set to name a Berlin school after him in remembrance of the injustice he suffered along with the other "Gypsy" prisoners.
-
This year the Germans will be unveiling a new monument to remember the thousands of Roma who died. It will be dedicated to Roma and Sinti.
-
Yet despite all this the persecution of Roma continues in France and Italy without very much rebuke from Germany. England and other countries continue to segregate Roma and Sinti from the rest of society. Jobbik in Hungary remains relentless in its demonetization of the "Gypsy" class.
-
However the move by Germany to have its first Roma Holocaust survivor as speaker at Germany's Holocaust Remembrance Day is a drastic leap forward. It was 1982 before Germany had even recognized the Roma and Sinti killed in the Holocaust. So the fact that they allowed both Zoni Weisz and Roma musician Ferenc Snetberger to be present at the ceremony was a monumental event.
-
Mr. Weisz took the opportunity to point out the hardships currently faced by his people in Europe.
-
"It is unacceptable that a people that has been discriminated against and oppressed for centuries is today, in the 21st Century, still shut out and robbed of any honest chance of a better future." Mr. Weisz declared.
-
His point seemed to be taken more seriously than ever before as the Germans present applauded and validated his remarks. We still have yet to see if France and other European countries will take the German Parliament's lead. We also have yet to see if this display in German Parliament will fully filter out into the German society.
-
At any rate this was a great way to commemorate the liberation of Auschwitz, a camp in which both Jews and Roma were killed.

Islamophobia... Fact or Fiction?

Hatred Knows No Bounds





When many hear the term "Islamophobia" they think of some far left liberal media outlet pushing the latest PC term of the day. However many cases throughout the Christian dominated West have proven the term to be at least loosely based in fact. And for those who believe it to be "fiction", most seem to have a bias against Islam and Muslims to begin with.

In Greece attacks on Muslims have risen like a rocket over the last few years alone. More disturbingly is the fact that many of the attacks go without punishment or rebuke by the public in general. The fact that Greece sets right next door to a massive Muslim state (Turkey) doesn't exactly help either.

In one attack Bangladeshi Muslims were attacked while attending prayers in a Muslim man's basement. The attackers, suspected to be members of a far-right group called Golden Dawn, began with simply screaming obscenities and hateful slurs down into the basement. When the attackers found that they could not deter the worshipers with their words they quickly turned to violence.

Smashing the windows to the basement, the attackers began throwing gasoline filled beer bottles down amongst the worshipers. Flames quickly erupted and scattered the fifty some worshipers. With some luck the fire was put out and the basement was secured by local police. Yet no attackers were ever punished or arrested despite the attempt to lock the worshipers down in the basement while setting fire to it.

It had taken three hours to free the worshipers while the attackers continued with their attempts to set fire to the prayer room once again... with the worshipers locked in.

Greece has promised its growing Muslim population a mosque of their own (all houses of worship are sponsored in one way or another by the state in Greece). Since the early 19Th century the Greeks have made this hollow promise. It wasn't until a mass attack on Muslims last year that Greece has even decided to find a plot of land. And even in this, the Greek government has stalled in building the mosque due to arguing amongst the government officials.

All the while attacks on Greek Muslims continue as bigoted attackers take out their frustrations with a seemingly ever growing minority. Many of the far-right groups in Greece even draw upon the "Spartan" heritage of their ancestors to recruit even the most mild of racist amongst them. Others simply try to paint the "immigrants" as the "hordes" that led to the fall of Rome (note that they try not to remind the Greeks of their own fall to the Ottomans).

In other parts of Europe the attacks on Muslims are still predominately hate speech at best. But as studies show, the attitude in Greece appears to indicate the future attitude in other parts of Europe... i.e. Italy, Spain, and France. Therefore it is not unreasonable to assume that if police and government officials in Greece are not likely to go after anti-Islamic attackers than other states may allow such attacks to occur too. And the rise in acceptance of hate speech in public forums (such as the European radio and newspapers... both online and in print) does show a trend toward the xenophobia that now holds Greece by its throat.

Now I'm not saying that Europe should stifle or censor its "free press" in any way. However, its governments should be more capable of noting the difference between simply discussing Islam and attacking those who follow its tenants. Yet it appears that most in Europe find the lack of distinction between these two to be acceptable.

Here in America we have the far-left constantly accusing the far-right of being "Islamophobic". This is one reason that the lack of sensitivity to a persons religion has become far to common place in American society (i.e. Family Guy). Instead of polite discussion we far too often resort to constant attacks meant to magnify the stigmas surrounding the Islamic faith.

For the far-right in American society the hate speech usually comes from the same fear of immigrants one might find when talking about Latinos. Yet when it comes to Islam they usually attack the ideas of "Shariah Law" or other extreme elements that exploit Islam. None seem to realize that under the current Constitutional law no such law in accordance with Shariah law could ever be passed. But that's not the point... the associating of Muslims in America to Shariah Law is the same as associating all Native Americans with the "peace pipe".

For the far-left, the real forebears of Islamophobia, the attacks on Muslims comes from their need to "coddle" their potential voters. This need to be condescending toward an entire group of people does nothing to help them but more so toward crippling them. It is a well known fact that minorities in this country face some form of discrimination. That seems to be an unavoidable fact of living in a multicultural society. Coddling and belittling a people based upon the attributes that make them a minority in the first place only serves to forever remind them of their place in a supposedly inclusive society.

In the end we should be looking toward Greece to study what we all wish to avoid... the growth of true hate crimes from primitive bigotry. We should look toward the 9/11 hijackers to see where such hatred leads. We should be looking at ourselves to understand just why we seem to be incapable of openly accepting this group of people and those other minorities we also live with.

Once we have done these things we should then be a little more willing to open our minds to the views of Muslims and be far more willing to study their religion with an open heart. I'm not saying we should convert or compromise our own culture, but we cannot truly understand a people if we constantly refuse to understand the faith they follow. It after all does define them in its own way. It greatly contributes to the way they think, interact with others, and the way they love one another.

In the end, I believe we would be a better nation if we were to accept the Muslims as they are and not for what we wish them to be. We are, after all, a country that espouses the virtues of freedom, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for ourselves and our countrymen. And it was once proven in the blood of those who fought on battlefields like Gettysburg that we, as a nation, could no longer stand the injustice of having one group placed below all the rest. So why today would we wish to keep separate our Muslim brothers and sisters from the same dreams of freedom and prosperity that our forefathers passed down to us? And why should we accept an ignorant hatred of them while claiming to be a nation based on justice and equality?

Norway Set to Study Anti Semitic Mood in Norway

Never Again... perhaps.
-


-
The Norwegian government is set to begin its study of anti Semitic attitudes that appear to be on the rise in Norway. With recent attacks on Norwegian synagogues and persistent public expressions of anti Semitic sentiments by new media the uptick of bigotry has sparked Norway's nerves.
-
The Oslo-based Holocaust Center of Oslo's Bygdoy will be doing the study after having received the equivalent of 530,000 US dollars. This study will be targeted mainly at the rise of anti Semitic attitudes among common Norwegians and other bigotries targeting the Roma population and Muslims.
-
Many groups on the right seem to be weary when it comes to studying their hatred for Islam and even more perturbed by the investigating of their disgust for Jews. The many political parties dedicated to the far right are even more perturbed by the fact that government money is being spent on such a study. They seem to believe that the said money should be spent like Sweden does... giving the Muslims a dollar and sending them out the door... so to speak.
-
So why the resistance to such a study?
-
Lately the government has been pushed to respond to the rise of anti Semitic "bullying" in Norwegian schools. The bullies have been documented calling their targeted victims "Jewish pigs" (Juden glisten in Norsk) and "Fucking Jew" (no clear translation at this time). The Teachers present at the time of the attacks, even during physical attacks, have done little or nothing to stop the bullying.
-
During one attack near a school a Jewish child was threatened to be "taken out into the woods and hung because he was a Jew". When attacked the boy managed to break free and run for home... fleeing for his life.
-
Many of the attacks are blamed on the "Muslim kids" in Norwegian schools. However many attacks happen when a traditional white, blonde haired, blue eyed Norsk child is the bully. But the attacker doesn't seem to be the main problem here... no matter what the race or religious background of the bully. Its the teachers and principles of the schools.
-
One teacher is documented as defending the bully by claiming "these things happen to all of us". The kid the bully was targeting had received death threats on numerous occasions... the reason... for being Jewish. Yet the teacher claimed that we all receive death threats for no apparent reason instead of punishing the bully in any manner.
-
When the attacker happens to be Muslim, teachers are even less likely to punish the bully. This appears to happen due to the commonplace opinion in Norway that Jews are the reason for the Muslim's problems... i.e. Palestine.
-
Thus we come to the most anti Semitic attitude in Norway... blame the victim. No matter how removed from the problems in the West Bank the Jews in Norway are considered to be the source of the conflict. Despite the fact that almost none of Norway's Jews were born or have ever lived in Israel they are still associated with any unrest in the Middle East.
-
Therefore the problems in Norway can be linked to the problems in Holland. In both countries the public attitude has been one of unity in its bios view of Judaism. Both countries pity all Muslims due to the bigoted view that all Muslims are like Palestinians. Both countries then blame all Jews due to the bigoted opinion that all Jews must think alike and therefore are just as "evil" as Israeli Jews.
-
None seem to be capable of grasping the fact that no ethnic group is totally united in any manner in their individual ways of thinking or personal beliefs. The majority of any given group does not ever represent the opinions of the entire minority group. The majority of a country's population does however unfortunately represent the country's given opinion.
-
As far as the Roma are concerned in this study... Norway is just like Sweden. They want the Romani gone. No government programme has ever been adequately funded or even fully set up to help Romani become incorporated into Norwegian society. Instead government sponsored programmes in Norway have historically been set up to attack Roma (in the past Norway has had state sponsored "spay and neuter" programmes to limit the ability of Romany to reproduce... which constitutes genocide by definition). So as far as this study goes... the Romani will be lucky if the Norse study does them any justice whatsoever.
-
We here at Alder's Ledge should be grateful at the very least that a European country (not a member of the European Union) is attempting to curb anti Semitism in some manner. This is at the very least a step in the right direction. Perhaps Norway will be one country that doesn't have to tell its Jewish population to "get out" while they still can (like Holland did a week ago). Perhaps Norway will be a country that can honestly say they tried to live up to that famous phrase... Never Again.
-

-
Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Lest we forget that all evil needs to succeed is for us to remain silent... wake up oh sleeping giant.

Roma Expulsions Continue In French Riviera

-
Nazi Politics Being Perfected
-


-
According to European Union law it is, and has been for some time, legal for countries like France and Germany to deport "foreign nationals". This law however is selectively applied seeing as how French insist that their deportations of Roma are legal due to them being from Romania and Bulgaria. And as far as the Union is concerned, it is legal to restrict the movement of certain "foreign nationals" due to the country of their origin.
-
January 14Th, CLSPD (local security and prevention against delinquency contract) invaded 25 Roma dwellings and forced the evictions of 160 Romani. This was carried out under direct orders of Christian Estrosi in an attempt to rid Plaine-du-Var of its Roma population.
-
This tactic of removing and deporting Roma while the outside world remains unaware has become France's new normal. They no longer are being as brazen as they were back in the summer of 2010. However they still are testing the waters one "camp" at a time. In 2011 we will most likely be seeing the trains that Germany used to ship the Jews to Auschwitz arriving in Paris soon enough... this is somewhat sarcastic seeing as how France has been using planes to deport its targeted populations.
-
What is even more shocking than the deportations is the fact that under France law any town or village with a population of 5000 or more must provide land for the Roma. Two currently exist in the areas around Plaine-du-Var in Nice and Antibes. Neither of these are sufficient and neither has electricity or running water. But what does France say about it... "we have the right to deport any "foreign nationals" (this and the threat that any Roma caught in Alpes-Maritimes will face a 15,000 euro fine and one year in prison).
-
All the while the Roma that remain in "designated areas" and act like "good little... (insert racist slur here)" have to deal with the fact that in France they are less than second class citizens. If they "stay on the reservation", so to speak, they don't have access to the basics of modern life. But they do get the opportunity to live without the looming fear of being attacked by SWAT style police in the middle of the night.
-
Christian Estrosi on the other hand was able to force the evictions of 160 Roma without concern. His only other problems he has to deal with is how to get a high speed rail from Nice to Genoa by 2018. Oh, and he needs to finish his plans on how to get IKEA to refurbish France's fifth best chance at an iconic city.
-
Nice's latest exploits in Nazi style politics only goes to show just how much Europe needs a new plan on how to cope with its Roma population. The Dutch have their "multiculturalism", which is new age Nazism, while the Germans tend to stick to their time tested forms of racism. England just tends to treat Roma like the red headed stepchildren of Europe. And all these methods are just not working.
-
The Roma currently suffer under the rise of ethnocentric Europe as the rest of the world idly stands by and watches. It just goes to show that we tend not to bother with other countries affairs till we can in good conscience boldly declare "Never Again".
