Dear Editor:
The United States has poured millions of dollars into Yugoslavia financing opposition candidates to President Milosevic and providing them all the expertise the U.S. media possesses in influencing the public mind.
It is very interesting how Congress is outraged any time there is a hint of foreign money being spent to influence U.S. elections, and yet they feel they have the right to help determine the outcome of foreign elections.
There are other examples. The CIA spent millions of dollars influencing Italian elections after World War II to prevent the Italian Communist Party from winning.
The United States ruined the Nicaraguan economy with an embargo and Contra attacks and then financed the UNO candidate Violeta Chamorro.
The United States financed Boris Yeltsin in Russia, even though he was undemocratic enough to bombard the Parliament building with tanks.
For years there has been a U.S. plan to break apart socialist Yugoslavia. It is proven by the 1991 Foreign Appropriations Law 101-513. This law cut off all credits, aid and loans to Yugoslavia until separate elections were held in each republic. The State Department was to approve the election procedures and results in each republic. The United States financed nationalistic and fascist parties in each republic, and thus helped insure the breakup of Yugoslavia. The reason is that Yugoslavia was refusing to completely privatize its economy, as the other former socialist countries in Eastern Europe had done. In the so-called New World Order no vestige of public ownership can be left unchallenged.
