Surviving Capitalism (Not) : Confession of a CIA Agent: They gave us millions to dismember Yugoslavia

We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.

Confession of a CIA Agent: They gave us millions to dismember Yugoslavia

Click here to access an interview with a former CIA agent who provides some details of the agency's operation to dismember Yugoslavia. Note that the interview was first published by a Serbian source and translated by the staff at this Serbian-British website, but it is also being picked up by several North American websites.

It often takes years for informed people to leak information about the many nefarious projects sponsored by the Empire's directors. In the destabilization of Yugoslavia we learn from a former CIA case officer some of the details and US government lies almost 25 years after the dirty deeds were done. Note once again the use of NGOs and the bribing of local Yugoslavian media owners to spread lies.

Robert Baer, a former CIA officer, has authored many books which disclosed the secrets of both the CIA and the administrations of Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. He has been arrested and detained several times. Mitt Waspurh, a personal friend who worked at the Senate and shared information was killed at gunpoint. As a senior CIA operative, Baer worked in Yugoslavia during the 1991-94 period and in the Middle East. He has worked on several documentaries on National Geographic, accusing the Bush administration of waging war for oil.

The interview was conducted live in Canada, during my trip a few days ago. Robert Baer is currently promoting his book “The Secrets of the White House” in Quebec, where we talked. In an interview we spoke of the background of the war in Yugoslavia.
