this is such a rubik's cube of a problem.
just how confusing was shown to me by this: http://www.counterpunch.org/grubacic02022008.html, and this: http://www.counterpunch.org/szamuely02152008.html and just when my head was about to explode, i found this: http://www.boingboing.net/2008/02/17/jasmina-tesanovic-ko-1.html#comments which was at least easier to read!
good luck!
maybe we could have offered them a national footy team, and a promise of the world cup in say 2045 instead, but no-o-o-o.... ~"When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate." Karl Jung~
Andrej Grubacic and Ziga Vodovnik: Caligula's Horse
Let us start with the "Slovenian scandal" which we recognize as a new colonial model. In one of our previous articles we suggested a possible explanation of the nature of American interests in the Balkans. We believe that our conclusions are further confirmed by the events in Slovenia, which, to remind our readers, today holds presidency of the European Union. European leaders woke up to an unpleasant surprise the other day, a leak of an internal document of Slovenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MZZ). This document, published in the Slovenian daily Dnevnik and the Serbian daily Politika, reveals content of a meeting between representatives of MZZ and representatives of the US State Department and National Security Agency (NSA),that took place on 24 December 2007 in Washington D.C. Slovenia's willful following of various exotic orders coming not from Brussels (the Senate) but from across the Atlantic (the Emperor), is already a well-known fact in the diplomatic hallways of Europe. But recent developments directly connected with orders and promises that were revealed in this leaked document, can mean the final transfer of our horse to the stable of New Europe, a group of states whose foreign policy is dictated by servile obedience to the United States. This, of course, also means the official end to all illusions about the credibility and importance of the Slovenian Presidency in the EU.
please, do the much better job on it that you could do! ~"When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate." Karl Jung~
