My good friend @AliciaB552590 is the one who also eagerly watched a 10 plus hour documentary on Kosovo in the 1990s and the NATO response. We both heard British PM Tony Blair, liberal globalist, lead the way with his humanitarian speeches to justify NATO bombing. And Blair noted in late 1998, when things heated up, he was meeting with other EU leaders to remake a modern Europe aligned with such principles. This included the climate, borders, trade and globalist principles. It wasn’t a friendly time to be asserting nationalism or sovereignty. And with him always—William Jefferson Clinton. From the book Travesty: The Trial of Slobodan Milosevic and the Corruption of International Justice (J. Laughland).

When 13 year old Gavrilo Princip moved from Bosnia to Sarajevo in 1907 for schooling he came under the influence of 17 year old Danilo Illich, son of Princip’s land lord. Danilo had a “cool mustache”, read Nietzsche, purchased radical political literature and always wore a black tie to remind us “death is near.” Does this type seem familiar ? (Pictured sans the cool mustache). Illich directly aided the plot to assassinate the Austrian Archduke. @AliciaB552590

This is now going to be a three part lecture series I will be conducting next month . Part one will focus on WWI. Part two will examine how the Balkans exploded in violence in the 1990s with the breakup of the Socialist Yugoslavia Federation and part three will examine how these conflicts were managed by “balance of power” v “collective security” and how events today in France, Ukraine, the Middle East and Albania relate to the past. @AliciaB552590

A little known fact was that Kaiser Wilhelm II saw the 1912-13 Balkan Wars in a way that might resonate with some today. Sleepwalkers: How Europe Went to War in 1914–Clark (p.289) @AliciaB552590 @AHD_from_TX @SuziBKota @realGregKarnes

If you are interested in who runs the world this 12 min audio will be of interest. Nerd that I am, I managed to find an old copy of the book below this evening and ordered it. If you want to order yourself a copy after the audio be certain to check the page count. The original version had over 1300 pages and the new version less than 600. substack.com/@sleuthfox/note…

To call what’s happening in France and Albania “student” protests is like saying that Omaha Beach was ROTC summer camp.

On Wilsonian ideals of self-determination why can’t the Serb areas(Srpska) join Serbia and the Croat area (southwest) join Croatia? You can have the Muslim Bosnians in the center with their own entity. Is having a rotating presidency with 3 presidents that great of a deal ? Did the you know the highest authority in Bosnia isn’t a Bosnian ? Nope. Per the Clinton fueled Dayton Accords the most powerful man is a German appointed by European countries as the UN High Commissioner who enjoys the “final word.” @AliciaB552590

When did the last “bombshell “ report revealing corruption lead to a conviction. Or even a prosecution ? @AliciaB552590 the book addict

After two brutal world wars don’t think this did not reshape the post war world to this day. Historic U.S. and Saudi Arabia “security for oil” deal at close of WWII in 1945 by President Roosevelt and King Abdul Aziz—Ibn Saud
