A Violent Century of Conflict Begins and Ends in the Balkans

A Violent Century of Conflict Begins and Ends in the Balkans

A major conflict of the early 20th century began with an assassination by a Serbian nationalist in the Balkans. This century is concluding with a devastating war in the same region. This says a great deal about the 20th century and bodes ill for the 21st.
But ethnic groups all over the globe are fighting each other, not just in the Balkans.
It's no wonder that schoolchildren get confused. In two world wars the United States and Britain supported the Serbs, with the help of the Russians and the French, against Germany and other powers. This time, although the Russians still support Serbia, the NATO allies are bombing key Serbian targets in an attempt to resolve the ethnic-religious conflict in Kosovo.
Now Germany stands alongside America, Britain and France in opposition to Serbia. The Chinese have switched sides, from support of Albania against Yugoslavia 10 years ago to support of Serbia (the dominant power in Yugoslavia).
Ten years ago it was almost impossible for Americans or Britons to visit Albania, although neighboring Yugoslavia benefited from a thriving tourist trade that attracted Western visitors. Today the United States and Britain support the Albanians against the Yugoslavs.
In the 1990s, in less than one decade, the United States and its Western allies have gone from opposing Russia under communism to supporting Russia as it tried democracy to squabbling with Russia over Serbia and other issues. We are talking here only about a part of Europe. Similar contradictions and confusion reign in other parts of the world.
Some of the countries involved in these situations have changed their names, which adds to the confusion.
Can we make sense of what's taking place in the Balkans?

Recent History

These perplexing developments are directly the result of the collapse of communism. Most of Eastern Europe was communist under the control of the Soviet Union. Yugoslavia, with no border in common with the Soviet Union, could and did assert its independence and pursued a more liberal line than other communist nations. President Josip Broz Tito (1892-1980) was the founder of the postwar communist nation of Yugoslavia and managed to hold the various ethnic groups in the country together until his death.
Less than 10 years later revolution fired Eastern Europe, sweeping communists from power or forcing them to alter their philosophies to stay in power. Formerly communist nations liberalized, giving the people a taste of freedom. That taste only encouraged demands for greater freedom, particularly as the patchwork quilt of ethnic groups began disintegrating at the seams.
The Croats were the first to secede from the Yugoslav federation and the Germans the first to recognize them. In breaking ranks with their Western allies, the government in Bonn influenced other Western countries to recognize Croatia. War ensued between the Catholic Croats and the Orthodox Serbs. As the Muslim Bosnians demanded their independence as well, the war spread. The Albanians in Kosovo also demanded freedom, and again the conflict spread. Like race, religion also plays a major role in this part of the world.
But we can't blame all these difficulties on the fall of communism. The fact is that tensions between the ethnic groups that make up the Balkans go back for hundreds of years.
Put on hold by centuries of rule under the Ottoman Turks and the Catholic Hapsburgs of Austria, both empires began collapsing in the 19th century. Balkan tensions resurfaced as the demands for freedom for each ethnic group intensified. Far from being a melting pot or even a salad bowl, the divided peoples of the area had mingled for years under their foreign rulers. Now, suddenly, they found they could no longer live alongside each another in peace since no clear-cut borders separated the groups.
After World War I the major powers created the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, which attempted to combine these different peoples in one nation. The fragile arrangement didn't last long. When World War II started, Yugoslavia was invaded by Germany and came under the rule of the Third Reich (the Nazi regime of 1933-1945). That is when Tito, born in Croatia and a leader in the resistance movement that was trying to restore independence, entered the picture. Tito won power when the Germans were defeated and then ruled the country with a firm but fairly benevolent hand until his death in 1980. He held together the various nationalities.
Less than 10 years later communist regimes were falling throughout Eastern Europe. The fall of totalitarianism throughout the region encouraged the rise of nationalist sentiment as each ethnic group reached for freedom. Finally the Soviet Union fell apart into its many constituent nations. Yugoslavia began to suffer the same fate. Bitter wars were fought over Croatia and Bosnia. Then came Kosovo and the current crisis.

Kosovo's Troubled History

A few months ago Kosovo's population was 90 percent Albanian. The ruling Serbs constituted only 10 percent of the population. To people in the Western democracies, it only made sense to give the ethnic Albanians want they wanted: independence in their own nation.
But the land holds great historical importance to the Serbs. For 200 years leading up to 1389, Serbia was a powerful kingdom in the Balkans, its might and unity largely depending—as now—on the personality of its leader. The territory of its last great king, Stefan Dushan, who ruled from 1331, comprised much of the Balkans. Before he died, in 1355, this greatest of Serbia's czars was able to describe himself as “emperor of the Serbs and Greeks, Bulgars and Albanians,” also ruling over what are now Bosnia and Macedonia.
As with President Tito 600 years later, not long after his death the kingdom started to fall apart, dividing into small principalities and warring clans. The area was ripe for invasion and foreign domination and began losing territory to the expanding Islamic empire of the Ottoman Turks. On June 15, 1389, the Ottoman sultan Murad I defeated the Serbian forces at the Battle of Kosovo. Centuries of foreign domination began. Kosovo to this day holds a special place in the hearts of all Serbians.
Another complicating factor confuses the mix. At the end of World War II half the people living in Kosovo were Serbs and the other half Albanians. The birth rate of the latter has been significantly higher during the last 50 years with the result that only 10 percent of the people were Serbs when the current conflict started. To understand the Serbs' perspective, consider how Americans would feel if Hispanics, outnumbering Anglos in California, decided to secede from the United States and join Mexico. Put that way, I think we can better understand the dilemma in the Balkans.

The Wider Significance of the Balkan Crisis

But the situation is even more complicated, with repercussions that may echo for years. In fact, as in 1914, events in the area may permanently change the world. From all accounts, what happened after NATO forces started bombing Serbia was unexpected. Certainly America and its allies were unprepared for the eviction of hundreds of thousands of ethnic Albanians from their homes and the killings of countless others. Clearly Serbia is determined to rid Kosovo of its Albanian population, leaving the West to pick up the tab.
At the time of this writing, Serbia appears to be trying to widen the conflict. The massive influx of Albanian refugees into neighboring Macedonia appears to be intended to provoke Macedonia's Serbs into action against the encroaching Albanians. The country of Albania itself, the poorest nation in Europe, has received so many refugees it is threatened with total collapse. Meanwhile, in Montenegro, a part of the Yugoslav federation along with Serbia, the arrival of tens of thousands of Albanian refugees has had the effect of destabilizing its moderate government in favor of one more sympathetic to Serbia.
Faced with a humanitarian disaster of horrendous proportions, Western governments offered to take in Albanian refugees “temporarily,” flying them to countries far from the area of conflict. This policy could play into the hands of the Serbs, who will say that the Albanians have found new homes. Even if NATO succeeds in its efforts to defeat the Serbs and supervises the return of the ethnic Albanians to their former homes, so many men have been massacred it is questionable whether the country could again be a viable entity. It certainly could not be a threat to Serbia again for many years to come.
The West failed to realize the determination and depth of feeling among the Serbs for keeping Kosovo in the Yugoslav federation.

Will to Win Lacking

As the conflict ensued, further problems grew apparent. Most Western military experts concluded that only ground troops will be able stop the expulsion of ethnic Albanians from Kosovo. Yet President Clinton and British Prime Minister Tony Blair both said at the start of the military operation against Serbia that there would be no use of ground troops.
This sent a clear signal to Serbia that the West was halfhearted in its opposition to Serbian objectives. More than that, it sent a clear message to the rest of the world that the two English-speaking powers that have fought repeatedly this century to preserve freedom from tyranny are now reluctant to do so if there is any likelihood of numerous casualties.
This is not something new. The Persian Gulf War was fought with minimal casualties. After bombing raids against Iraq, ground troops were sent in. Iraq's soldiers had little heart to fight and were soon defeated. Allied troops could have gone deeper into Iraq in an attempt to replace the Saddam Hussein dictatorship with a more moderate government, but there was a reluctance then to do so out of concern over the possibility of massive numbers of casualties.
Western nations have also made significant cutbacks in their armed forces as a result of the end of the Cold War and the perception that serious security threats had ended. Added to this is another problem: the shortage of people seeking military careers in an all-volunteer military.
Not one major conflict since World War II has resulted in a clear victory for the United States or Great Britain. Wars have ended in stalemates with much left unresolved. Britain's war with Argentina over the Falklands almost 20 years ago and the 1991 Persian Gulf conflict are two examples. Both wars saw a clear military victory, but the disputes have continued.
We also shouldn't forget that most wars have unintended and unexpected long-term consequences.

Troubling Implications

If the 19 nations of NATO win the conflict with Serbia, it is likely that continental Europeans will begin to play a bigger role in future conflicts. For a time public opinion in Europe favored the use of ground troops, even though such was not the case in the United States. But the White House, fearful of another Vietnam, openly expressed its reservations about sending ground troops into the conflict, sending a message that America is still partially paralyzed by traumatic memories of Vietnam.
Of course, one may take the view that, if NATO had not intervened, the Western alliance would have been damaged and its political leaders discredited.
How are we to evaluate these matters? To gain a greater understanding of the way the world works and the role of national groups within it, there is only one basic source that we can all consult. The Bible is not only a book about personal relationships; it also concerns itself with the behavior of nations and ethnic groups. Moses wrote about “When the Most High divided their inheritance to the nations, when He separated the sons of Adam, He set the boundaries of the peoples …” (Deuteronomy 32:8).
Later the apostle Paul spoke of God, who “made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings” (Acts 17:26). But historically nations have not been satisfied to stay within their own territory, taking land belonging to other countries and peoples and setting up the ethnic disputes we see today.
In the book of Deuteronomy we find a list of blessings and cursings that inevitably will come to a nation as a direct result of its commitment—or lack thereof—to God and His laws. Although originally addressed to the nation of Israel, in principle the message applies across the board to all nations—particularly those who profess belief in the God of Israel.
Note what God said of the nation that honors and obeys God: ” … If you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the LORD your God will set you high above all nations of the earth … The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways” (Deuteronomy 28:1, 7).
Consider His warning to those who disobey: “… If you do not obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments and His statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you … The Lord will cause you to be defeated before your enemies …” (verses 15, 25).
Is it mere coincidence that since World War II, as the American and British people and others of the same culture and mind-set have turned increasingly from God, the will and ability to wage and decisively win wars has been lacking? Remember Korea and Vietnam? “But if you do not obey Me, and do not observe all these commandments … I will break the pride of your power …” (Leviticus 26:14, 19).
This is the situation we find ourselves in at the dawn of the new millennium. GN

Germany Rules the Balkans

Germany Rules the Balkans

Dramatic events in former Yugoslavia in the past decade have given unmistakable proof of this fact: A dangerously aggressive Germany is rising, and at an accelerated pace!
 
What has happened in former Yugoslavia over the past decade reaches far beyond the boundaries of that region. It is so shocking that the nations of this world would be paralyzed with fear if they truly understood! Shamefully, America is its chief architect.
What’s more, Herbert W. Armstrong prophesied of this unparalleled disaster for over 50 years.
Let’s begin our study of this nightmarish situation with a look at events in 1995.
Plan for Europe
Here is a segment of the August 11-25, 1995, issue of Intelligence Digest (emphasis mine throughout): “American generals trained and advised the recently triumphant Croatian army, and German pilots have been training the Croatian air force (UN sources at Zagreb airport say air-traffic control frequencies ‘resound to the voices of German pilots’). Yet the recent events in the former Yugoslavia, important (and dangerous) as they are, form only a small part of an overall U.S.-German plan for Europe. …
“America’s solution is to encourage and support German hegemony [domination] in both east and west Europe.
“Germany’s control of Western Europe is exercised through the European Union (EU), and American support for German dominance of the EU has been evident since at least 1990. At that time a pro-German U.S. State Department under James Baker started a whispering campaign against British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher because of her opposition to any further surrender of British sovereignty to the German-dominated EU (or European Community as it then was).
“This whispering campaign was partly responsible for Mrs. Thatcher’s ouster from … the British premiership. …
“[Washington] is following an intentional policy the purpose of which is to leave both east and west Europe under complete German domination. …
“So Germany, with the full backing of America, is to be the sole great power of Europe. …
“Washington urgently needs to think again before it is too late: Its policy for Europe is not a policy for future stability; it is the reverse.
This was a shocking revelation! American foreign policy supports German dominance in the EU. And both America and Germany supported the break-up of the Balkans. The question is, why?
For the answer, we must look a little further back into the history of this war-torn region in former Yugoslavia.
Germany’s Opening Move
In December 1991, serious events began to take shape within Germany and Eastern Europe. Germany—although strongly opposed by the European Economic Community, the U.S. and the UN—recognized the breakaway states of Croatia and Slovenia. Pope John Paul ii quickly did the same. (This was not a coincidence; the people of these two Balkan states are staunchly loyal to the Roman Catholic Church.) The European Economic Community caved and recognized the two states on January 15, 1992.
The New York Times wrote about this watershed event in a front-page article, “Moving Defiantly on Yugoslavia, Bonn Threatens Rift With Allies”: “Germany will go ahead with its plans to extend diplomatic recognition to the breakaway Yugoslav republics of Slovenia and Croatia, German officials said today, increasing prospects for a pronounced rift on the issue in the Western alliance.
“Chancellor Helmut Kohl’s spokesman, Dieter Vogel, said on Friday that the Bonn government would wait until after a meeting of European Community foreign ministers in Brussels on Monday before announcing recognition, which has been opposed by the United Nations, the United States and by the European Community. But officials made clear that Bonn’s decision would not be affected by the outcome of Monday’s meeting” (Dec. 15, 1991).
Germany was opposed by virtually the whole world on this matter! Yet they stood firm in their decision. Why? How could a nation with Germany’s recent past attempt such a thing? It makes a lot of sense if you understand Bible prophecy about the Holy Roman Empire!
Another New York Times article, “UN Yields to Plans by Germany to Recognize Yugoslav Republics,” said, “The Security Council backed away from a confrontation with Germany over Yugoslavia today after Germany’s European allies on the council decided that they did not want a major clash with Bonn.
“The incident underscored Germany’s growing political power within the 12-nation European Community, diplomats said. Some added that it marked the single most visible demonstration of that power since reunification of the two Germanys more than a year ago [in 1990]. Moreover, in its unusual assertiveness in moving ahead with a plan to extend diplomatic recognition to the breakaway Yugoslav republics of Croatia and Slovenia, Germany has stirred troubling historical associations …. Nazi Germany dominated the two Yugoslav regions during World War ii, absorbing Slovenia into the Third Reich and creating a puppet regime in Croatia” (Dec. 16, 1991).
That is why Germany was so determined to recognize Croatia! But why would the U.S. support such a move? At first, America did not. But that quickly changed once Germany flexed its political muscle.
“Germany has long historical ties, both glorious and shameful, to Slovenia and Croatia. Slovenia was part of the Austro-Hungarian empire, and many people there still identify with the German-speaking world. There has also been German influence in Croatia, and during World War ii Croatia was ruled by a pro-Nazi regime.
“This aspect of Croatian history, and the fact that the [late Croatian President Franjo] Tudjman government has refused to disassociate itself from the Croatian fascists who ruled the republic in the 1940s, has made European leaders unwilling to move quickly toward recognition. German public opinion is strongly pro-Croatian and anti-Serbian” (New York Times, Dec. 8, 1991).
This is a shocking article. German public opinion is strongly pro-Croatian and anti-Serbian, or in reality anti-Yugoslavian. The German people are emotionally involved with these two republics. Why? Most Americans probably were unaware of these two republics only a few years ago.
Isn’t it also disturbing that a Croatian leader (who recently died) would not disassociate himself from the Croatian fascists, or Nazis of the 1940s, yet was still a respected leader in a Roman Catholic country? If these people are good Roman Catholics, how could they honor fascism in this way? Shouldn’t this strike us as rather alarming? Croatian leaders won’t disassociate themselves from such a horrible past, yet the pope has openly recognized Croatia in its struggle for independence, despite being opposed by most of the world. Don’t these facts suggest something dangerously ominous developing?
Do you understand the importance of this history? How quickly the world has forgotten the events surrounding World War ii. How quickly the world has forgotten that Germany has historically considered it a primary duty to protect the Roman Catholic Church! During the various reigns of the Holy Roman Empire, they have felt it their duty to enforce the church’s desires—good and bad. That helps us to understand why Germany will stand up against the European Community, the United Nations, the United States and the entire world!
Something very dark and sinister is stirring in Europe. What has happened in Croatia is only a small sample of what is about to spread over the entire continent! This is the “straw that will stir the drink” to unify all of Europe. It will not be long before Europe is reunited as the Holy Roman Empire. It will be led very assertively by Germany.
Two republics now have their independence because of Germany and the pope. The whole world would have been against the independence of these two republics had not Germany and the pope spoken out in support of them! That reveals a great deal about the power Germany has today. But more importantly, it projects where Germany and the Vatican are headed in the future!
Germany forced the issue and revealed how weak America and the West really are!
Many Serbian leaders feel the driving force behind the independence of Croatia and Slovenia was the Roman Catholic Church! This is only a small part of a rising Holy Roman Empire. Germany and the Vatican were willing to offend the whole world to recognize two little Roman Catholic republics! These events show anybody willing to take note that something dreadful is stirring in Germany and the Vatican.
For the most part, what is happening in Europe is invisible to the world. Even many political leaders in Europe will be moved with great emotion in support of European unity, not truly understanding why they are doing it.
Germany’s World Dominance
Shortly after Germany recognized the breakaway republic of Croatia, civil war broke out in Yugoslavia! Many people blame Germany for causing that civil war.
All of Europe and America were openly hostile to Germany’s action at that time, but Europe quickly caved in when Germany threatened to pull out of the European Community.
America saw the flow of events and, as usual, weakly changed its public view by submitting to Germany.
Mr. Tudjman, Croatia’s leader at that time, had publicly and repeatedly said his country was right in supporting Hitler! He was very adamant and unrepentant.
An inquiring mind might ask how Germany and the Vatican could openly and flagrantly support a Nazi-type leader, considering their own recent history. Nazi atrocities and the Vatican’s involvement in protecting and hiding Nazi leaders during and after World War ii are overwhelmingly documented!
Now they are unrepentant and headed in the same direction again. Is there a frightening spirit afoot here that we need to be very concerned about?
Sadly, a look at other facts is even more disturbing. America surrendered to Germany’s nationalistic Croatian policy. The U.S. lifted the arms ban against all of Yugoslavia. And Germany supplied modern military armaments to Croatia.
According to some reports, America signed a secret agreement to continue operating with the Croatian military. Remember, this is the same nation that we were bullied into accepting as an independent republic in 1991! Where Germany leads, we seem to follow.
America’s foreign-policy shift in 1991 enraged its traditional allies Britain, France and the Netherlands. These nations saw what Germany was doing, not only in Yugoslavia, but all over Europe. The European Community collectively had hoped to keep powerful Germany under controlwith help from the U.S.! Instead, America helped Germany enforce its will on Europe! Europeans, who are being helplessly swept along, are painfully aware that Germany has caused two world wars—in living memory—and the death of 60 million people!
Has America forgotten its loyal allies of World Wars i and ii and in 50 years of the Cold War? Germany has bullied the U.S. into nearly wrecking that alliance!
These traditional American allies know a great deal about Germany’s desire to control Europe. U.S. leaders, however, seem to be ignorant of the dangers. It seems that they learned little or nothing from World Wars i and ii.
The Serbs fought on the side of America and Britain in two world wars. In the 1990s, the Serbs were the only power to resist Germany in the Balkans. Now Germany is having its way in that part of the world. And the European Union is now openly discussing global ambitions—challenging America.
No wonder America is losing allies in Europe. Historical alliances and friends seem almost meaningless to the U.S. At the same time, America is building a Frankenstein monster that is about to turn on its creator!
America and Britain clearly do not understand history. And worse, they are totally ignorant of Bible prophecy. (Write for our free booklet Germany and the Holy Roman Empire to understand God’s shocking revelation.)
This is an amazing scenario! The most powerful foreign policy in this world comes out of Germany! At first, America was bitterly opposed to Germany’s recognizing the republic of Croatia. Then it turned around to help Germany fight for Croatia’s independence! What a pathetic turnaround.
These events set the stage for 1999’s nightmare in Kosovo.
The Beast of Revelation
The Bible shows that Satan the devil is the real power behind European unity. “And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon [Satan, see Rev. 12:9] gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority” (Rev. 13:2). Satan knows he has little time left, and he is pushing political events and leaders in order for Europe to unify quickly.
“Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time” (Rev. 12:12). The devil is using human emotion to achieve his ends. Even Satan must use something to unite people. A strong religion is often his best tool. Satan can use the ideals of the Holy Roman Empire to unite Europe. Europe thinks this will be for the world’s good. The Bible says otherwise.
In 1995, Alexander Cockburn wrote in the Detroit Free Press: “When Germany led the Western powers to recognize Croatia, Slovenia and finally Bosnia at the start of the ’90s, the Serbs remembered vividly what had happened to them at the hands of the Nazi-backed puppet state of Croatia in World War ii. At least 700,000 Serbs—some say as many as 1.2 million—along with 30,000 Jews, were slaughtered by Croats in the Jasenovac concentration camp.
“The Croat lobby in the United States has displayed eel-like slipperiness when pressed about the fascist predilections of Croat leader Franjo Tudjman. Inquiries into his character and intentions are very much to the point: Tudjman has written books of spine-chilling anti-Semitism and apologetics for mass extermination.
“This is the man pampered by the West, even as he drives toward a greater Croatia built in the image of Ante Pavelic’s Croatian Republic of the 1940s” (Aug. 24, 1995).
That reminds me of the years leading up to World War ii, after Hitler had already written his hateful diatribe, Mein Kampf. Yet Neville Chamberlain and other weak leaders were actually cozying up to and pampering this man who would head the Nazi war machine.
Doting on Her Lovers
In Ezekiel 23:12, God condemns Israel—primarily America and Britain—for doting on the Assyrians, or Germans. Verse 17 says the mind of Israel is “alienated” from the Chaldeans, or the German-led Holy Roman Empire. The recent history of the two world wars show you our minds are indeed “alienated” from Germany. God condemns Israel for making the Germans our lovers and not trusting Him. Unless we wake up, the Holy Roman Empire will betray us and fight against us! Then we shall know very deeply what God thinks about our “lovers”!
After an open-skies treaty, the Germans are now making surveillance flights over the United States. Also, all of our nuclear weaponry is now controlled from Washington d.c. There are no more submarines with independent authority to launch nuclear missiles. America and Britain are becoming dangerously vulnerable to their lovers, who will soon betray them!
“And Aholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbours .… Wherefore I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted” (Ezek. 23:5, 9). This is a specific prophecy aimed at Israel—the American and British peoples in this end time! “And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall bear the sins of your idols: and ye shall know that I am the Lord God” (v. 49).
In spite of this colossal tragedy, there is still good news. This towering crisis will bring our nations to repentance. Then they will really get to know the great God! Most of our peoples only think they know God today. What a shame that it takes such a terrifying crisis to awaken our peoples. But it doesn’t have to be that way, if they would heed this message.

Muslims, Well Trained And Armed, Ambush Police Officers, Murder Five Police Officers, Injure Thirty More Officers, In Well Orchestrated Attack To Purposefully Help Usher In The Ottoman Empire

By Theodore Shoebat
Well trained and armed Muslims in the Macedonian city of Kumanovo attacked police officers, killing five officers, and injuring thirty officers. The Muslims went into a rampage, burning down multiple homes as well. This was a very well orchestrated and calculated attack that is being done for the purpose of causing so much violent tension that it will lead to instability. This societal friction will be a part of an attempted Islamic takeover of the Balkans, all for the purpose of helping Turkey take control of the Balkans, that will empower the revival of the Ottoman Empire. This type of violence has been being predicted on Shoebat.com since last year.
Interior minister Gordana Jankulovska told reporters late this Saturday that the police were attacked with automatic weapons and bombs.
Jankulovska wept as she esteemed the five martyred police officers as “heroes who gave their lives today for the Republic of Macedonia.”
She also said that the “terrorist group,” had entered Macedonia from an “unspecified neighboring country,” and wanted to “use the current political situation to perform attacks on state institutions.”
Twenty of the Muslims have already surrendered, but the battle is still going on because numerous of the terrorists have refused to give up, with some of the jihadists being killed in battle.
The Macedonian security forces have cut off entrances from the Muslim Albanian section of the city, where two million Albanians (30% of Macedonia). Our Balkans correspondent, Lazar, sent us several photos and videos.

Shoebat.com, thanks to our Serbian correspondent, Lazar, has been predicting since last year the coming of an Islamic uprising in the Balkans. Lazar foretold to us that this was going to happen, and its all being done under the orders of Turkey.
Both ISIS and Turkey are working with Albanian Muslims in Kosovo to establish an Islamic state the Balkans, and ultimately in all of Eastern Europe. Turkey is doing this with the ultimate intention of eventually controlling the Balkans in its efforts to revive the Ottoman Empire.
While the media is making the current riots and protests in Kosovo as just a secular nationalist cause, once we look below the surface, what we find is that these upheavals and revolts are of the same nature as the revolutions in Syria and Egypt.
We conducted an exclusive interview with Lazar, a Serbian Special Forces veteran, on this entire situation that all Christians must focus on. We did a whole video with footage and photos proving that the protests in Kosovo are truly Islamic:

Make no mistake about it: the current upheavals that have been happening are not peaceful protests, they are part of a wider jihadist movement, that wants to create an Islamic state in the Balkans. The media has been currently silent about this current situation, just as they were silent about the Islamic connections of the Egyptian and Syrian revolutions when they first began.
We are going to see Turkey capitalizing on the Jihadist sentiments of Islamists in the Balkans, using them to help restore Turkish power in the region. Russia will eventually get involved since the Russian government must control that region in order to keep Turkey in check.
Serbia and Greece are the Israel of the Balkans: as Israel balances out the Middle East and keeps the Muslim nations in check, Serbia and Greece keep the Muslims of the Balkans in control. If Turkey wants to dominate the Balkans, it is going to have to inculcate its power over Serbia and Greece; this is why Russia is so important because it will prevent this from happening.
Islamic violence will spread from Kosovo and it will spill over into Serbia, and then eventually into Macedonia, Montenegro, and then into Greece. All of this violence and chaos will stir the Eastern Orthodox nations to form a single Eastern Orthodox confederacy that will be headed by Russia.
This Christian confederacy will truly be a revival of the Christian Byzantine Empire, only this time its power will not be in Greece (as it was in ancient times) but it will be transferred into Russia. The new Christian confederacy will be here to fight against the Islamic confederacy that will be headed by Turkey.
It will truly be a holy war, a Crusade — the New Crusade — and it will lead to the establishment of Christendom, and it will be ruled by Jesus Christ.
I notice how little coverage this story has gotten, and so I decided to write a song (sung in a Country and Western tone) about American indifferentism. Its called, I don’t give a damn:
Well I was drinkin’ my coffee in the early morning,
I heard the news,
People were dying, and how many souls were lost, nobody knew
There was women crying, and good Lord, lots of mourning
I thought to myself whether or not it happened in America
Maybe in Mississippi, or Tucson, Arizona
It happened in a country that no one ever heard of,
In a little place called Macedonia
Well all I have to say is sorry,
If it didn’t happen in the good ol’ U S of A,
I don’t give a damn.
Well them terrorists got their guns,
And opened fire on a crowed of officers,
And you were sure that the killers were Muslim
And you can be sure that not one of those cops made a run,
Because thats what they do,
They stood their ground and were sure,
That justice was going to get his due.
The fight was going down, and most of the enemy already flew
But sorry to say,
If it didn’t happen in the good ol’ U S of A,
I don’t give a damn
Them good ol’ boys got on their pick up trucks
Locked and loaded,
Ready to get lethal,
On armored vehicles,
Holding up their guns,
And not for fun,
But to defend what was now gone.
You better believe they were mad as hell
Cause victory was won
And the air was full of shells.
But sorry to say,
If it didn’t happen in the good ol’ U S of A,
I don’t give a damn.
Politics went out the window,
No more wives should become widows
And no more lives should become shadows,
In the glowing dawn
Those brave men didn’t fight for their lives,
They fought for something greater,
They fought for God, they fought for love,
And in the end there was so much blood,
Cause them good ol’ boys put themselves on the line,
They stomped their foot to the ground, marched to glory,
And let their valor shine
They made the call, they stood tall,
They lowered their eyes, and bowed their knees before the good Lord up on high,
Not for pension, not for women, and definitely not for attention,
They said no to shame, no to fame, and didn’t care about pay,
Oh I forget to mention,
If it didn’t happen in the good ol’ U S of A,
I don’t give a damn

Keep an Eye on the Balkans

Trouble could be brewing.
 
The Balkans is a region people tend to forget about. Sandwiched between the Adriatic and Black seas, the peninsula is a hodgepodge mix of religions, peoples and cultures. The complexity and obscurity of the Balkans—together with its geographic situation—fosters the perception of the region as a largely irrelevant backwater to Europe, Russia and the Middle East.
History punctures this perception.
Historically, the Balkans is where civilizations have converged and clashed. During the Middle Ages, the peninsula fell under the control of the Byzantine Empire. In the 15th century, it became a focal point of the westward-bound Ottoman Turks. In the 19th century, it emerged again as a point of tension between East and West during the Crimean War. When the great European war comes, observed Bismarck, it will “come out of some … foolish thing in the Balkans.” Turns out, he was right. Less than 50 years later, the Balkans was where Germany instigated the First World War. Twenty years after that, it became a key strategic theater for Hitler and the Axis powers. And don’t forget the Balkan crises of the 1990s.
It is no surprise then that a decade later, the Balkans is emerging once again as the convergence point of Russian and European ambitions.
Bringing the Balkans Into Europe
In November 2009, German Chancellor Angela Merkel met with Serbian President Boris Tadic in Berlin, where she expressed Germany’s full support for Serbia’s entry into the European Union. Serbia’s hopes were further boosted in January, when Spain’s foreign minister promised that his country’s EU presidency would do its utmost to integrate Serbia into the EU. “2010 is going to be a key year for all the Western Balkans,” said Miguel Moratinos. “I can guarantee on behalf of the Spanish presidency that we will do everything that is possible to advance in this direction.”
It appears Serbia will not be making the trek alone. On the same day Merkel announced her support of Serbia last November, EU foreign ministers meeting in Brussels agreed to proceed with Albania’s request to enter the rapidly evolving 27-member bloc. By January, EU leaders were talking about easing visa restrictions to make it easier for Albanians to travel through Europe.
Doubts about the EU’s ambitions in the Balkans were put to rest by a letter that circulated among EU foreign ministers meeting in Brussels on January 25. According to Deutsche Welle, the letter ambitiously stated that in 2010 the EU should “complete accession negotiations with Croatia, start talks with Macedonia, reinforce its role in Bosnia, abolish visas for Albanian and Bosnian citizens and advance Serbia’s bid to join the bloc” (January 27).
“This is the right moment to renew at high level the EU’s commitment to the [Balkans] and to set out the course ahead in concrete terms,” Dimistris Droutsas of Greece and Michael Spindelegger of Austria said in the letter.
Reporting on Germany and the EU’s statements in support of Serbia’s accession last November, Stratfor noted that they were “the clearest indication thus far from the European Union that it is serious about bringing the rest of the Balkans into the European Union as soon as possible” (Nov. 17, 2009; emphasis mine throughout).
While enthusiasm in Brussels for integrating the Balkans into the EU excites many west of the Urals, not everyone is pleased.
The Russia Factor
Under strongman Vladimir Putin, Russia has been actively reasserting itself regionally and globally. Since 2000, the Kremlin has secured power over much of its periphery, particularly along its border with the European Union. (This, essentially, was the reason for Russia’s invasion of Georgia in August 2008.) Strategically and historically, the Balkan Peninsula—though it doesn’t fall within Russia’s immediate sphere of influence—has been a critical steppingstone for periodic European incursions into Russia.
From a defensive standpoint, the Balkans demands the Kremlin’s watchful eye. But for the offense-minded Putin, the peninsula requires much more. This is why last October, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev made a much-publicized visit to Belgrade, where he offered a €1 billion (us$1.4 billion) loan to the Serbs and openly discussed the possibility of a strategic partnership with Serbia.
The next month, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov visited Bosnia-Herzegovina, where, according to the Eurasia Daily Monitor, he encouraged the “Sarajevo government to oppose U.S.- and EU-proposed constitutional and economic reforms” (Nov. 9, 2009). Beyond its political wrangling in the region, Moscow remains a primary economic player in the Balkans, particularly in the energy sector.
Russia also has intriguing military designs on Serbia. On October 21, Russia signed a deal with the Serbs to construct a humanitarian center for emergencies in the southeastern city of Nis. While it was billed as a regional hub for emergency relief in southeastern Europe, some experts couldn’t help but notice the political and military nature of the planned facility. With the center’s connection to the highest levels in the Kremlin, analysts at Stratfor reported that “it has the potential to redefine how the world looks at the Balkans and Russia’s involvement in the region” (Oct. 21, 2009).
The humanitarian center will be operated by the Russian Ministry for Emergency Situations. Rooted in Russia’s foreign military intelligence directorate (also known as the gru), this ministry handles more than just national emergencies. Stratfor reports that “it is involved in the suppression of militant activity in the Caucasus and is in charge of the Russian civil defense troops,” which essentially gives the ministry its own military force, as well as access to the Russian military. When you consider the connections, “it has to be considered that Moscow might lay logistical groundwork [in Serbia] that—intentionally or not—has military value” (ibid.).
What do Germany and the EU think about that? Stratfor continued, “Despite [some] limitations, which make the move largely symbolic for the near future, Moscow is on its way to setting up its first logistical center with potential military uses outside of the former Soviet Union. In addition, the center will be run by a ministry that serves as the wing of the Russian military intelligence unit. If one puts this in the context of the recent visit to Belgrade by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev … it must be concluded that Russia is moving into the Balkans with enthusiasm.”
Remember, that was the end of October. In November, Germany and the EU informed Serbia (and Albania) that they were ready to put them on the track for full EU membership. The timing is interesting. Coincidences of this nature are rare in international relations. It certainly appears the Balkan Peninsula, particularly Serbia, is emerging once again as a major point of tension between Russia and Europe.
The Outcome
Ultimately, Europe and Russia face two options. The first is to sit down together, debate their strategic interests, and carve up Eastern Europe and the Balkans between them. Hitler and Stalin did that very thing in 1939. The alternative is to allow the tension to mount until it erupts in armed conflict. More than likely, as the Trumpet has forecast, we will see the first option. Watch for Russia and Germany/Europe to come together and hash out some kind of non-aggression pact akin to the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact struck just days before World War ii.
It is also possible that the Kremlin, concerned by the rapidly evolving and strengthening European superstate, could decide it needs to send the EU and the West a shot across the bow. The provocation by the Kremlin of a military or energy crisis in a place like Serbia, or maybe Ukraine, would certainly caution Berlin and Brussels against ignoring the strategic interests of its eastern neighbor. It would also likely bring Germany and Europe to the negotiating table with Russia.
Whatever happens, history demands that we keep an eye on the Balkans. And so does Bible prophecy. In May 1953, Herbert Armstrong wrote about a crucial end-time prophecy: “Suddenly the world will behold a United States of Europe!” he wrote. “Some of the Balkan nations which have been under Russia’s boot will be members of it!” (Good News).
That statement alone explains Germany and the EU’s moves to invite Balkan nations into the European fold. Mr. Armstrong based his forecast about a united Europe (which will include an eastern bloc) on multiple Bible prophecies, including Daniel’s spectacular prophecy in Daniel 2. This prophecy is key to understanding both European history and prophecy. To learn more about it, request a free copy of Daniel Unlocks Revelation.
In the meantime, keep an eye on the Balkans!
 

BREAKING: Sheriffs Across America Issue Dire Warning About What Obama’s About to Do

BREAKING: Sheriffs Across America Issue Dire Warning About What Obama’s About to Do


It has been promised, and confirmed by the administration, that President Obama intends to bypass Congress and take “Executive action” to grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants, including the criminals and terrorists among them.
But now sheriffs around the country are speaking up, issuing a dire warning about the likely results of a blanket amnesty granted by Obama. (H/T MRCTV)

They are warning of the coming increase in crime, disease, and terrorism, should Obama grant amnesty. They also they believe Obama’s amnesty will encourage more criminals and terrorists to join the millions of illegal immigrants already flooding across our porous southern border.
Sheriff Chuck Jenkins, Frederick County, Maryland:
“In my opinion, based on what I’ve seen, every county in America will become a border county. This is absolutely going to worsen the crisis.
What we’re going to see is not only the cost to healthcare, social programs, and education, but the increase in criminals coming into our country, you’re going to see increases in crime, infiltration from transnational gangs, the drug trade and human tracking.”
Sheriff Paul Babeu, Pinal County, Arizona:
“The law applies to you and I as citizens, and yet it appears there is no law when it comes to illegals. The message the President’s action will send is this: if you can get to the border, you’re home free. It completely undermines the rule of law and makes the job of every law enforcement officer – which is already difficult – impossible.
We already have our hands full because the border is not secure: imagine what the situation will look like when the President gives executive amnesty to those already here. It would unleash a tidal wave of illegal border crossings, overwhelming law enforcement. It will be open season for the cartels. Again: the border is not secure now – to give a presidential amnesty would be to make matters dramatically worse for our officers who are trying to do the job the President won’t.”
Sheriff Eddie Guerra, Hidalgo County, Texas:
“We are going to see what I’m seeing here on the border in larger and large [sic] numbers, which is a huge increase in illegal immigration coming across our border. An amnesty order is going to create more people an incentive [sic] to come into the US. The drug cartel will exploit any opportunity to come into the United States, and this will create the cover for them to continue exploiting our porous border. This will create the opportunity for kidnapping, trafficking, sexual abuse, prostitution, and smuggling. These smugglers have no regard for human life. They destroy private property. They have no respect for law enforcement. They circumvent U.S. checkpoints. It’s a terrible situation.”
Sheriff Sam Page, Rockingham County, North Carolina:
“Human trafficking, drug trafficking and criminal activity are coming through our borders, but not staying near our borders – it’s getting into every part of the United States. This is a public safety issue – a terrorist or any other kind of criminal may cross our borders. We just don’t know who is coming across.
“If the President issue his executive amnesty, you’ll see a dramatic surge of people coming in from all countries, including Central America– and again we won’t know who’s coming in: gangs, drugs, cartels, public health threats, human trafficking. We’re not catching but a small percentage of those coming across. This will place public safety in our communities in danger, and taxpaying citizens will be left picking up the tab.”
Sheriff Tom Hodgson, Bristol County, Massachusetts:
“It will dramatically increase the draw for illegal immigrants to come into our country, because you have the President of the United States sending out a message that we have no problem with people ignoring our immigration laws. They’re looking for a wink and nod that says ‘yeah, come on in’ – we’ve seen it with the DACA.  It is the worst message you can possibly send.  Come in, don’t worry about the laws, don’t wait your turn.  You invite people to ignore our laws.  We have no knowledge of these individuals’ background or criminal histories. We [have] minors coming in right now who have confessed to murder.  We in these communities are left trying to find out: who are these people? If didn’t [sic] learn anything else post-9/11, it’s that we need to know who is in our communities and what they’re purpose is. The President’s planned order is a formula for national disaster and public safety.
“Every predator who is out to commit crimes is looking for the weakest link in our system. Having large illegal immigrant populations creates a safe haven for criminal activity.  Criminals are becoming more emboldened.
“I run the homeland security task force in Bristol County. When you start diverting resources with in ICE [sic] – this administration has been watering down investigative resources, failing to deport people who need to be deported – you create a very dangerous situation. When the President issues this executive amnesty, you’re going to see people being diverted away from investigating terror threats and towards issuing this amnesty. It’s going to put our communities at much greater risk. The scary part about all of this is that we know that terrorists have been trying to infiltrate the U.S. It’s opening a gaping hole for terrorists to walk right into the country and strike at innocent people.
“When the President of the United States is sending a message that he’s not concerned with lawbreaking, those words are the beginning of the destruction of our democracy.  When you have the President saying you can come in unlawfully without consequence, basically the President is saying to do the world [sic]: don’t respect our laws. That’s I [sic] worry about: if you don’t protect the framework of Democracy, then you risk losing Democracy itself.”
These respected lawmen should be listened to and hopefully their warnings will be heeded.  Amnesty is no good for America, and it will bring about more bad consequences than good results.
These sheriffs should be commended for taking the brave step of standing up and speaking out against the politically correct position of open borders and amnesty for all, without regard to the very real dangers and potential risks such a move will bring to America.
Please share this on Facebook and Twitter if you are thankful that these sheriffs, who are on the “frontlines,” so to speak, are speaking out against what they see as dangerous for America.

New Undated Photograph Proves Neil DeGrasse Tyson is Barack Obama’s Father

obama mother neil degrasse tyson father baby daddy
(L to R) Ann Dunham, young Barack Obama and Neil DeGrasse Tyson pose for an impromptu family photo on a nice Spring day.
A newly revealed undated photograph shows young Barack Obama holding a baseball bat, while his mother Ann Dunham and a young, strapping Neil DeGrasse Tyson stand in the foreground.  This historic photograph is the only picture in existence that shows Barack Obama’s true father:  Neil DeGrasse Tyson. To gain more votes, Democrat strategists fudged the entire story of Obama being the son of Barack Obama, Sr., a Kenyan national who attended Harvard and then disappeared from American academia.
Strategists knew that with a Kenyan background, Obama would be an even more viable candidate to Americans ready to buy into the ‘change’ campaign.  But in this picture, we can see the proud father’s smirk on Neil DeGrasse Tyson’s face.
Ann Dunham was said to be a brilliant woman and so it would make sense that she fell in love with a future award-winning astrophysicist like Neil DeGrasse Tyson.  When you see Obama and Tyson together, the family resemblance is uncanny and instant.  There is no denying that Neil DeGrasse Tyson is Obama’s true birth father.
You can see a father’s pride in Tyson’s eyes taken weeks ago at the White House.  How hard must it be for Tyson to hide the fact that his greatest creation is the POTUS?

Hawaii Governor: Senior Hawaii Election Official, “I Will Testify Obama Definitely Not Born In Hawaii”


Hawaii Governor: Senior Hawaii Election Official, “I Will Testify Obama Definitely Not Born In Hawaii”


The former Honolulu elections clerk who says President Obama was “definitely” not born in Hawaii and has no birth certificate from any hospital in the Aloha State says he’s willing to testify in court to those facts.
“The things I’ve said, I don’t mind testifying in court,” Tim Adams, the senior elections clerk for the city and county of Honolulu in the 2008 campaign, told WND in an exclusive interview.

“I was working there, and this is what it was. I’m not a lawyer, just a civil servant. I know what I know. I know what I was told by the hospitals and by my supervisors.”
The hottest book in America is the one that exposes the real Obama and all his men (and women)! Get your autographed copy only from WND!
Adams, a Hillary Clinton supporter who now teaches English at Western Kentucky University while he works on his master’s degree, burst onto the scene last week in a WND story in which he asserted Obama was not born in Hawaii as the White House claims and that a long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate for Obama does not even exist there.
“There is no birth certificate,” he said. “It’s like an open secret. There isn’t one. Everyone in the government there knows this.”

Copy of original long-form birth certificate of Susan Nordyke, born in Honolulu the day after Obama’s reported birthdate. President Obama has never produced any document like this
“I had direct access to the Social Security database, the national crime computer, state driver’s license information, international passport information, basically just about anything you can imagine to get someone’s identity,” Adams explained. “I could look up what bank your home mortgage was in. I was informed by my boss that we did not have a birth record [for Obama].”
At the time, there were conflicting reports that Obama had been born at the Queen’s Medical Center in Honolulu, as well as the Kapi’olani Medical Center for Women and Children across town. So Adams says his office checked with both facilities.

Tim Adams, the former senior elections clerk for Honolulu, says President Obama was “definitely” not born in Hawaii,and a long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate for Obama does not exist in the state.
“They told us, ‘We don’t have a birth certificate for him,'” he said. “They told my supervisor, either by phone or by e-mail, neither one has a document that a doctor signed off on saying they were present at this man’s birth.”
To date, no Hawaiian hospital has provided documented confirmation Obama was born at its facility.
Adams, 45, stressed, “In my professional opinion, he definitely was not born in Hawaii. I can say without a shadow of a doubt that he was not born in Hawaii because there is no legal record of him being born there. If someone called and asked about it, I could not tell them that person was born in the state.”
WND confirmed with Hawaiian officials that Adams was indeed working in their election offices during the last presidential election.
“His title was senior elections clerk in 2008,” said Glen Takahashi, elections administrator for the city and county of Honolulu.
Adams oversaw a group of 50 to 60 employees and was responsible for verifying the identity of voters, especially absentee voters.
He now expects his former co-workers still working in the elections office to say little, if anything, about the non-existent birth certificate because they fear for their jobs.
“If you’re working in the civil service and you say this, you’re done,” Adams said. “Don’t expect to have a good career, especially since the governor is on the other side. Embarassing them is not good for your career.”

Gov. Linda Lingle, R-Hawaii
Last month, as WND reported, Hawaii’s Republican Gov. Linda Lingle reignited Obama’s origin on a New York radio show.
“It’s been an odd situation,” Lingle said. “This issue kept coming up so much in the campaign, and again I think it’s one of those issues that is simply a distraction from the more critical issues that are facing the country.
“So I had my health director, who is a physician by background, go personally view the birth certificate in the birth records of the Department of Health, and we issued a news release at that time saying that the president was, in fact, born at Kapi’olani Hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii. And that’s just a fact and yet people continue to call up and e-mail and want to make it an issue and I think it’s again a horrible distraction for the country by those people who continue this.”
Although the governor now claims she issued a news release stating Kapi’olani is Obama’s birthplace, the actual release said no such thing, making no reference to Kapi’olani nor any other specific location of Obama’s birth.
WND asked Adams about the governor’s assertions about viewing a hospital-generated birth certificate from Hawaii.
“Then where is it? And why all the smoke and mirrors?” he responded. “They could end the controversy by producing the document, and they never have. It doesn’t exist.”
“Why would they say they’ve seen it and not produce it? I don’t know,” he added. “If they said they’ve seen the document, then why not produce the document? There’s no need to put themselves out like that. I can’t even begin to think why they did that except for some kind of political expediency. I’m too far down the totem pole [to know].”
While Adams, who noted he spent nearly 10 years in the islands and has a bachelor’s degree from the University of Hawaii, says he’s certain Obama was not born there, he also does think the president is indeed a U.S. citizen, since his mother, Stanley Ann Dunham was born an American.
He says he merely would like to see the truth come out and have the controversy over natural-born citizenship and presidential eligibility resolved once and for all.
“It’s come to the point where it’s a monster, and it’s time to kill it,” Adams said. “Solve the problem so that everyone can get back to cooperating to improve the country. People have lost sight that we’re trying to make the country a better place.”
WND’s original report about Adams’ claims has already been made into a YouTube video, getting thousands of hits:
To date, President Obama has still not provided simple, incontrovertible proof of his exact birthplace. That information would be included on his long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate which Obama has steadfastly refused to release amid a flurry of conflicting reports.
The White House has only proffered on the Internet a “Certification of Live Birth” to assert he was born in Hawaii, but that document was available to children not born in Hawaii at the time of Obama’s birth.
Many people remain unaware a child could be born somewhere else and still receive a Hawaii COLB. State law specifically allows “an adult or the legal parents of a minor child” to apply to the health department and, upon unspecified proof, be given the birth document.

This short-form Certification of Live Birth image, which is not the same as a long-form, hospital-generated Certificate of Live Birth, was released by the Obama campaign June 2008.
“Anyone can get that [Certification of Live Birth],” said Adams. “They are normally given if you give birth at home or while traveling overseas. We have a lot of Asian population [in Hawaii]. It’s quite common for people to come back and get that.”
As WND reported last July, the Kapi’olani Medical Center trumpeted – then later concealed – a letter allegedly written by President Obama in which he ostensibly declares his birth at the facility.

A photograph taken by the Kapi’olani Medical Center for WND shows a letter allegedly written by President Obama on embossed White House stationery in which he declares the Honoluluhospital to be “the place of my birth,” The hospital , after publicizing the letter then refusing to confirm it even existed, is now vouching for its authenticity, but not its content. The White House has yet to verify any aspect of the letter.
“As a beneficiary of the excellence of Kapi’olani Medical Center – the place of my birth – I am pleased to add my voice to your chorus of supporters,” Obama purportedly wrote.

This excerpt from the alleged Obama letter is perhaps the first formal declaration from the president about his exact birthplace. The White House has still not confirmed if the letter or its contents are authentic.
But the authenticity of that letter remains in doubt. Since WND raised questions about the veracity of the letter itself and its content, the White House has refused to say if the message is real and if its text originated with the president.
Besides his actual birth documentation, documentation that remains concealed for Obama includes kindergarten records, Punahou school records, Occidental College records, Columbia University records, Columbia thesis, Harvard Law School records, Harvard Law Review articles, scholarly articles from the University of Chicago, passport, medical records, his files from his years as an Illinois state senator, his Illinois State Bar Association records, any baptism records, and his adoption records.
