Apology of Rebellion

It starts with return of some, and emigration of others; then the names of streets change, and everything ends with new logs and plan Z-4

The statement by the representative in the parliament and the president of the Serb People's Party (SNS), Milan Djukic - a new Jovo Raskovic [political leader of Croatian Serbs before the war in Croatia; advocated peaceful resolution of the Serb issue in Croatia]- that "the rebellion of the Serbs (in Croatia) was legal" but that they "chose wrong means" is only a new indication of the chaos to which the yellow-red authorities have brought this state. On the same occasion, in an interview given to Jutarnji List last Thursday, Djukic said that Serbs are "victims of terror" in Croatia and that he would demand voting rights for Serbs without citizenship certificates and that his long-term goal is "one unit" that would include "Zagora, Ravni Kotari, Lika, 'Banija' (Banovina) and Kordun". True, "that local government unit will not be called Serb" but it will de facto be that.

Eels

Some people believe Djukic is a clown, but he is not. He, namely, not only speaks, but - with generous assistance of foreign services and more than pliant liberal-communist leadership - also acts. He is successfully bringing back Serbs to the territory of the former criminal "krajina" and at the same time chasing away Croats. The remaining Croats in Lapac threaten that they would move, first to Gracac and then who knows where. In Korenica Croats receive phone threats and have been evicted by courts, in Kistanje Serbs tell Croats from Kosovo that they are Albanians, in Potkornje the local native Croats, who during the war experienced a martyrdom, are checking whether the Croat flag is still flying on the Knin fortress and whether Martic has returned and it is time for them to leave. In Knin Croat problems are "solved" by distribution of free meals.

Besides, Djukic has achieved significant symbolic victories. In Lapac he changed the names of streets - got rid of Ante Starcevic and Croat defenders and brought back [Vuk] Karadzic and [Josip] Broz [Tito]. True, Prime Minister Racan was "concerned" because of all that, Minister Pancic was "surprised", and even some decisions have been made. They will hold a meeting of the government in Knin. But the ruling coalition of six is, to the last, a coalition of eels. If you want to make sure they do not slip out of your hands, do not listen to what politicians tell you, but pay attention to what their political-media-academic-cultural manufacture, which these days in Croatia has almost total power, is doing.

Therefore, you will note that in the Serbo-Croat Novi List, the daily newspaper of already significantly anational northern seashore, from the pen of the Rijeka Euro-Balkan philosopher Nenad Miscevic you can read that the change of the names of streets in Lapac is "a good thing", that the taking of the street from Croatian defenders "is to be expected in given circumstances" "after crimes in the operations 'Storm' and 'Flash'", and that Ante Starcevic lost his street justifiably. Miscevic supports Djukic's Serbs "even if they chose the names for new streets with less care than now," therefore if they name a street in Lapac after Arkan and similar individuals.

How is any of this possible, a naïve reader may ask?

It is possible because the conditions for this were provided by the "world", Croat authorities, and one could even speak of the participation of Croats in this liquidation sale of dignity. "Mesic is prepared to apologize for the expulsion of Serbs from Krajina," Jutarnji List wrote on February 27. Two days ago the very same Mesic amnestied five Serbs sentenced for war crimes while at the same time he is sending the Chief of Staff of the Croatian Army and a war hero General Stipetic to the Hague Tribunal as a suspect. In his turn, Stipetic, to his own disgrace and humiliation of the rest of us, takes Cedo Prodanovic for his defense attorney, even though Prodanovic is a Serb and a member of Soros' secret cabal named Croatian Helsinki Council, which has produced most of fake evidence for Stipetic's indictment! Again, as in the worst time of Communism, in advance it is known that a Serb is a prosecutor and a witness, while Croats are always in the dock.

Things are simple, you see, as in a soccer match. The opponent is as strong as we are weak. Therefore, Serbs are again going crazy because Croats have been forced to hide in a mouse hole. Can you imagine the following: these days rabid communist culture-commissar Zvonko Makovic, who is destroying the last remaining Croat media (he has denied state support to Hrvatsko Slovo) includes paintings by certain Santrac, a member of the unit White Eagles, which burnt and slaughtered in Croatia (the said individual is even a Chetnik disabled war veteran, as a bomb in Bogdanovci blew up his hand), into the exhibition "Echoes of enformel". By the way, Makovic whose declared ideal for Croatia are villages full of blacks and Chinese, just like in the Netherlands, has ignored protests of two Croat painters, Jelavic and Cavrk, and Novi List even recruited a Serbicized Split native Jesa (Jerko in Croatian) Denegri to support him in that cheeky provocation. If there was as much as a "c" of Croatiandom in Croatia, that leftist terrorist would be denied his commissar post the very same day and sent to his western Balkan underground immediately. However, at the moment, such an outcome is not likely.

Happy End

Why? Because the current Croatian authorities and their foreign bosses want that. Namely, the ruling coalition of six is essentially an association of Serbs, Yugoslavs, Muslims and different sorts of unpatriotic Croats (for example "Istrians", Italianized Croats, twenty percent of whom, according to Globus, March 23, believe that that is their nationality!), directed against Croats and Catholics, respectively, who have been exposed for more than a year to all sorts of persecution in Croatia and Bosnia-Hercegovina.

A Croat in Croatia, Bosnia-Hercegovina, or a Croat returning from emigration is for them a loss. Consequently they have been chasing them away as much as they can. Every, Serb, Yugoslav, "Istrian", on the other hand, is an extra supporter, a guarantee that they will stay in power forever and also a reason for new praise by their foreign masters, so that they bring them back, coddle and suppress information about their outbursts.

Serbs in Croatia and their most recent Fuhrer Milan Djukic know and feel that very well. And everything goes according to how many of them gather in one spot. With one village they change street names and demand an autonomous local government unit. With ten villages they will be able (with one bomb and a log) to endanger the tourist season in Croatia. When their numbers reach pre-war levels we shall have plan Z-4, which will anchor us in the west Balkans, this time forever. Unless, of course, Croats finally wake up and sweep away the anti-national authorities.
