Globalist Ideology

Address by philosophy Professor Mihajlo Marković, member of the Serbian Academy of Arts and Sciences (Srpska Akademija Nauka i Umetnosti, SANU) at the International Conference “NATO Aggression Against Serbia, 10 years After”, organized by the Belgrade Forum for the World of Equals, March 23-24 2009.

We must never forget an unjustified, intransigent, illegitimate aggression of the dominant global superpower against a small, peace-loving European state.

The whole thing started with the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the break-up of the real-socialism in Eastern Europe and the end of the Cold War era — the era of balance of fear in the world. The whole thing took place in the situation when it was already obvious humanity is threatened by the shortage of vital resources and that the last reserves of oil will be exhausted in the 21st century.

The only remaining superpower, US and its allies made a decision to establish a global hegemony and seize the biggest remaining reserves of oil in the Middle East, region of the Caspian sea and Siberia. In order to reach those goals and to justify them, the ideology and politics of globalism were launched. It was declared that the nation states are obsolete, and national sovereignty anachronistic and antiquated idea.

Controlling the Balkans

In order to secure access to the war theater and territory through which the oil pipes from East to West will be passing, it was decided to assert complete control over the Balkan Peninsula and insure the complete subservience of the Balkan states. It was also decided to set up the biggest US/NATO military base in the heart of old Serbia, its province of Kosovo and Metohija.

To Serbia’s misfortune, all the other Balkan nations accepted to be entirely subjugated. Nothing was left of the old principle advocated by the generations of the progressive Serbian politicians, “Balkans to the Balkan nations”. Serbia’s history, its freedom-loving spirit and, indeed, its very character, did not allow such unconditional submission of the Serbian nation. No Serbian government that would accept to sacrifice Kosovo and accept the status of a colony would have survived.

As Heraclitus had said: “A man’s character is his fate”, and that is true both for the individuals and nations, whether that fate is sacred or tragic. When Serbia rejected the Rambouillet ultimatum which dictated its occupation and demanded that NATO troops are stationed throughout Serbia’s territory, when Serbia refused to sacrifice its Kosovo province where the Bondsteel military base was to be built, United States and NATO decided to raze it to the ground.

This must never be forgotten.

It must also not be forgotten that Europe (which our mondialists still swear by) in unison took part in the aggression against Serbia and that the actual signal for the start of bombardment was given by the then-Secretary General of the European Community, Mister Solana — who is still the most cherished guest of the top leaders of our political elite.

What we still don’t know and will never find out is if little Milica Rakić [a three-year-old killed by NATO bombs] in Batajnica, or twenty children in Surdulica, or 124 workers who tried to protect their factory in Kragujevac with their own bodies were killed by an American, British or German pilot.

History of Dishonor

And what happened with the glorious European culture? Culture does not consist of the architectural edifices, sculptures and symphonies alone but, first of all, of the universal moral values and the principles of the international law which are permeating its spirit.

When those principles are trampled, the culture dies off like every living organism. Only dead monuments remain, like the Pompeii villas and adornments covered with ashes.

Therefore, to everything else we know about the splendid but also dark Europe — Europe of democracy and the highest culture, but also Europe of crusades and colonial wars, Europe of militancy and fascism — we must also add the wanton destruction of our country, sadistic sanctions and boorish bombardment from the 10,000-meter distance.

This page in the history of European dishonor, especially in the period from 1990-1999, should never be forgotten either.
