None of this is to defend of Milošević’s corruption, neoliberal “reforms,” or other very real crimes, but Western propaganda has lain more blame on the Serbs than is warranted while whitewashing its own crimes.

CIA contaminated 800 bags of sugar in clandestine operation
Date: Aug. 29, 1962 | Agency: CIA
In a covert operation, the CIA contaminated 800 bags of raw sugar on a cargo ship traveling from Cuba to the Soviet Union, a newly unredacted portion of this document says. The contaminate was a “chemical used in the process of denaturing alcohol,” the CIA wrote, adding that it would make the entire sugar shipment – 80,000 bags – unfit for consumption when it was refined in the Soviet Union. According to the document, the contaminate was not dangerous but was “so strong to the taste that it ruins the taste of the consumer for any food or drink for a considerable time.”

I would call it neither nonviolent nor anarchist. The protests were partially funded & organized by the US spook-industrial complex, including USAID, and NATO bombed the city of Belgrade and other civilian targets for 78 straight days, a war crime. The International Center on Nonviolent Conflict is a US security state regime change color revolution cut-out.
He was a color revolutionary. How could he not have been on the CIA’s payroll?
The same year the NED was founded, Gene Sharp launched the Albert Einstein Institution (AEI), a public-facing non-profit dedicated to advancing “the worldwide study and strategic use of nonviolent action.” Thomas Schelling, Sharp’s Cold War mentor from the CIA at Harvard, would sit on the board of directors.
In November and December 1991, with the USSR in political and economic tailspin, Sharp and Ackerman conducted another three-week consulting trip to Russia and the Baltics. There they coached the anti-Soviet activists of Boris Yeltsin’s camp who wanted the USSR totally destroyed and its economy pried open for private capital penetration. Yeltsin was leader of the Russian soviet, but his was a minority position: in a 1991 referendum, over 75% of the Soviet citizenry had affirmed they wished the Union to remain in tact. The preference of the majority would not be heeded. AEI wrapped up its trip to Russia and the Baltics on December 7. The next day, Yeltsin and other Soviet leaders signed the Belavezha Accords, formally dissolving the USSR.
[N]one other than Development Advisory Services at the CIA at Harvard, spun off and re-branded as the Harvard Institute for International Development (HIID), got the USAID contract to supervise the privatization of Russian state assets and creation of private capital markets.

Do you still believe that your insistence on being right about an issue that springs from a time long before you were born is going to somehow convince anyone to see things exactly as you demand?
Zionist settler-colonialism is a European/Western project that only goes as far back as the late 19th to early 20th century, and didn’t come into much significance until after WWII.

Volodymyr Kubiovych, a Ukrainian Nazi collaborator who helped organize the SS Galicia division and who was editor in chief of the Encyclopedia of Ukraine[1] compiled at the University of Alberta, is also named. A photograph of a parade in Lviv, Ukraine, in July, 1943, shows Mr. Kubiovych making a Nazi salute alongside Otto Wächter, a senior member of the SS who also served as governor of Galicia and Krakow. The document notes that Mr. Kubiovych had died in Paris in 1985.
Prominent Ukrainian-Canadian advocates have opposed the release of the Deschênes list, with some raising fears about personal safety. Last year, after declining to release it, the government expressed concern that publishing it could boost discredited Russian propaganda about Ukraine having Nazi ties.
Although some members of the Ukrainian SS Galicia division who settled in Canada after the war are on the version of the list studied by Prof. McBride, other Ukrainians who volunteered to join the Nazi-led division, and who settled here, are absent from it.
Yaroslav Hunka, a veteran of the SS Galicia division who was given two standing ovations in the House of Commons public gallery by MPs during the visit of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in 2023, causing Canada international embarrassment, does not appear to be on the list.
Many of the names of people still living in 1986 are redacted, but not their birth dates. The alphabetized list does not include Mr. Hunka’s recorded 1925 birth date. He turned 100 this week.
I dunno guys, sounds like Putler talking points to me.
This meme doesn’t account for proportion, which at the most pessimistic is say 20 to 1. We have the numbers in spades.
Well that was a thorough going dressing-down. The Russian bots must have infiltrated The National Interest!
