The following declaration was issued by the International Committee to Defend Slobodan Milosevic (ICDSM)...

Defend the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia from Lies and Terror!

Belgrade, June 17, 2001

THE ICDSM condemns the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) attack on the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and applauds the brave efforts of the people to defend that embattled nation.

The KLA attack could not have taken place if it were not sponsored by NATO, led by Washington. We urge people everywhere: defend FYROM from the international smear campaign which has been launched by the Western mass media and so-called human rights groups.

NATO always claimed that ethnic conflict in the Balkans was the work of Mr. Milosevic and the Yugoslav government. But Mr. Milosevic has been illegally jailed for 10 weeks. And the Yugoslav government is now pro-NATO.

Yet NATO and the Western media have suddenly discovered that FYROM, once praised, is terribly abusive to Albanians, thus justifying what the media falsely calls a 'rebellion.'

The terrorist attack on FYROM demonstrates that no subservience to NATO protects a country from NATO's 'Greater Albanian' terrorism. FYROM's government did everything NATO asked. It let NATO station troops on its territory. It applied for membership in the European Union. It applied for membership in NATO's so-called Partnership for Peace. It let NATO use its territory to conduct raids against the friendly nation of Yugoslavia. Thus it was an accomplice in crimes of war.

But NATO does not wish to have compliant nations in the Balkans, Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. It wishes to have weak protectorates dominated by gangsters, racists and terrorists, under NATO dictat.

Let this be a lesson to people everywhere. If a country surrenders 'just a little' of its national sovereignty to NATO, NATO will take it all. For NATO has no friends, only future victims.

This Declaration unanimously adopted by the following people who met as the ICDSM Working Committee, on June 17th, in Belgrade:

Professor Velko Valkanov, Member of Parliament, President, Bulgarian Antifascist Union, Founder and Co-Chairman, ICDSM

Professor Mihail N. Kuznecov, Russian Federation, Vice-Chairman, ICDSM

Sergei Dovgan', President, Peasants' Party, Deputy of Parliament, Ukraine, Vice-Chairman, ICDSM

Fulvio Grimaldi, Journalist and Film-Maker, Rome, Italy, Vice-Chairman, ICDSM

Aldo Bernardini, Professor of International Law, Italy

Christopher Black, ICDSM International Lawyers' Group, Canada

URGENT APPEAL! 20 JUNE 2001

TO THOSE WHO HAVE DONATED TO OUR FUNDRAISING APPEAL - THANK YOU!

BUT EMPEROR'S CLOTHES STILL URGENTLY NEEDS HELP!

Nobody funds Emperor's Clothes. Our only source of money is people like you. All contributions help, big and small.

Our work has expanded but our income has not. We are now several months behind on long distance and international phone bills.

All but local service has been turned off.

We have other big bills too, including for Lexis, our key research tool.

We use long distance for interviews (if we need a translator, this involves a three-way call) to consult with writers, to check the accuracy of information and sometimes to discuss articles being translated. We also use international calls to help write and edit articles for media besides Emperor's Clothes.

Using international long distance, we were able to stay in constant touch with the unarmed witnesses guarding Mr. Miloshevich's house when it was attacked March 28th and 29th. That is why you could read accurate news on Emperor's Clothes - the only honest reports available anywhere.

After the attack, by using international phone calls we were able to talk directly with people involved in the negotiations between Mr. Miloshevich and the current Serbian authorities. So we knew first hand that the 'NY Times' report that Mr. Miloshevich was suicidal during the talks was a lie.

Because we need to use the phone so much, our bills are well over a thousand dollars a month. Now our long distance and international service has been turned off because we owe almost $5000. We are in danger of losing phone service altogether. In addition, we owe over $1500 to Lexis, a key research tool, which allows us to check the accuracy of newspaper excerpts and quotes over the past 20 years.

If everyone who cares about Emperor's Clothes chips in, we'll be out of trouble in no time.

If everyone chips in - $20, $50, $100 or $1000 - we'll be out of danger in no time.
