Hague Court: false propaganda led to Srebrenica massacres…

Lesson for South African journalists : The Hague Court recognises that the power of false propaganda ‘news reports’ had greatly aided in leading to the mass executions of Muslims in the Srebrenica Genocide
------------------------------
"In sentencing (Bosnian-Serb) Milan Gvero to five years in prison, the importance of media propaganda was recognised by the International Criminal Tribunal in The Hague: noting that false media reports which claimed that Muslims in Srebrenica were handing in their weapons, had in turn created the conditions in which the mass executions of Muslims in eastern Bosnia in 1995 could take place. (Source: “Balkan Insight “, 7 July 2010 ).
“On July 11, 1995, a TV presenter in the Bosnian Serb headquarters in Pale, (falsely) announced on prime-time news that the Bosnian Serbian army, VRS, was “liberating Srebrenica in a strong attack”. The fake news report continued: “This took place after the Muslim side attacked the area outside the protected zone of Srebrenica and burned down some villages around the town. At this moment, the reception of the civilians and UNPROFOR representatives is going on. Everything is under control and in accordance with the Geneva Conventions.
- “Muslims have no reason to be afraid… “ - “Every armed man will be treated in accordance with international conventions. At this moment, the [Muslim] soldiers are giving up their arms. During the night, it is expected that even paramilitary forces around Zepa will give up fighting… Muslims, especially those who did not commit any kind of crime, have no reason to be afraid.”
The same announcement was read out three times during the half-hour news broadcast. No pictures from the town were shown, the Court noted when handing down its guilty verdict: “That day, Milan Gvero, Assistant Commander for “Morale and Legal and Religious Affairs”of the Army of Republika Srpska, VRS, spoke with Radovan Karadzic, supreme commander and Bosnian Serb president, also saying that “everything is going according to plan”.
Almost 15 years on, the International Criminal Tribunal for former Yugoslavia, ICTY, on June 10 2010 pronounced a first-instance verdict for Gvero, sentencing him to five years’ jail for his role in the genocide committed in Srebrenica.
- “As the verdict was read out in court, the judge recalled that Gvero had issued a press statement on July 19, 1995, saying that the activities of the VRS were directed towards “neutralizing Muslim terrorists and not civilians.
- “While the release of false information to the media and international authorities does not constitute a criminal act, the purpose of the release was not an innocent one,” the verdict said. “The only reasonable inference as to the goal behind this communiqué is that it was intended to mislead, in particular the international authorities concerned with protecting the enclave, with a view to delaying any action on their part that might thwart the VRS’s military efforts,” it concluded.
An important role in the war:
The trial chamber’s conclusion was that “by disseminating false information”, among other things, Gvero “contributed to the joint criminal enterprise, part of whose goal was to ethnically cleanse the Srebrenica area of eastern Bosnia. “
Gvero was sentenced together with seven other high-ranking military and police officials after a trial lasting two-and-a-half years. The prosecution and defence teams have until September 8 to appeal.
- This was the first time that the ICTY trial chamber had recognized the role of propaganda in a verdict concerning the genocide committed in Srebrenica in July 1995.

Who are the black-racist groups which are targetting Boers and even the white babies in South Africa with their calls for mass-murder – and who actively carries out these threats? The answer may surprise you… they are all black people with good jobs and a high level of education…

First of all – who were caught carrying out at least some of the latest attacks in Schweizer Reineke since May 22 2010? The court verdict is not in as yet, but it is a fact that three on-duty SAPS-officers and one ex-cop are now under arrest, charged after they were caught red-handed for carrying out two thwarted farm attacks in Schweizer-Reneke: the first on May 22 2010; the second on July 4 2010. Also on July 4, 2010, two Afrikaner rural land-owners were murdered in identical circumstances in North West and in KwaZulu-Natal: tortured to death, nothing robbed. All the victims were elderly, all the attackers were black males, heavily-armed. http://censorbugbear-reports.blogspot.com/2010/07/another-schweizer-reneke-farm-attack.html…
Summary
- SAPS Capt Patrick Magonono was arrested in 2008 with his entire SAPS unit for carrying out a large series of farm attacks in the Kameeldrift/Leeuwfontein region he was supposed to protect; despite charges and many witnesses, the case sort of disappeared but he was rearrested while carrying out an armed robbery again in 2010; Inpector Michael Sokhela was arrested for farm murder of the world-faous bush-war expert Dr Anthony Dorning; on May 24 2010 SA police constable Rebecca Mfisa of SAPS crime-prevention unit in Florida, was arrested minutes after farmer Oosthuizen staved off an attack near Schweizer-Reneke, in North West province -- the police constable’s SAPS identification was found in the car she was driving, 330km away from her job; ex-cop also implicated in Oosthuizen farm attack. And two more police officers were arrested carrying out an armed attack near Schweizer-Reneke on July 4….
JULY 10 2010 BLACKWASH BLACK-RACISTS CALL FOR KILLING OF 'SETTLERS' IN ANTI-AFROPHOBIA PAMPHLETS...
This Facebook comment below by BLACKWASH member Thamsanqa Mahlobo was apparently posted on July 19 2010 on the BLACKWASH facebook page. Blackwash member ANDILE MNGXITAMA describes on July 10 2010 how Blackwash members are distributing 'anti-afrophobia' pamphlets in the townships which call on black South Africans to 'not vent their rage on fellow Africans, but on the settlers .." In other words, Blackwash is openly calling for attacks against South African socalled 'whites'. More than 3-million of the 4-million 'whites' are Afrikaners. The chances that the attacks against Afrikaners increase as a result of this campaign cannot yet be analysed - it must be noted however that Blackwash, while claiming to be an 'Africanist' organisation, does not match the profile for other Africanist groups such as the Azanian People's Liberation Organisation and the Pan Africanist Congress, both of which organisations directly blame the ANC-regime the worsening malaise in the townships. Blackwash instead clearly is trying to deflect the blame for these problems away from the ruling ANC'-regime. Which makes one wonder which ‘master’ Blackwash really is serving. The pamphlet and other details on Blackwash follow below:

Black SAPS members involved in attacks against Afrikaners and against black foreigners
- June 26 2008: (Former SAPS ) Capt Patrick Magonono, ex-head of criminal investigations division at Magalies SAPS, was arrested for farm attacks and xenophobic attacks with five colleagues:
Afrikaners who describe the armed attacks against them as a genocide or ethnocide, are not being paranoid: there is considerable evidence of SA police collusion in these attacks: besides the recorded fact that police so frequently fail to respond to emergency calls from besieged Afrikaner families, on June 26, 2008 the SA police directorate also issued a statement describing the remarkable mass-arrest of the entire Police CID unit at the Magalies police station - which controls the greater-Pretoria smallholdings region where so many of these attacks have been taking place over the past decade.
The arrest was described of ( then active-duty) Police captain Patrick Magonono, who t
hen commanded the Criminal Investigations Division at the Magalies SAPS. He was arrested together with five black colleagues at the same police station, and formally charged with carrying out specific armed robberies targetting Afrikaner smallholders throughout the region for the past five years. The six police officers also were charged with carrying out organised campaigns of xenophobic violence against black African foreigners.
Charges were formally placed in the Johannesburg magistrate’s court against these six police-officers for carrying out specific numbers of armed attacks against Afrikaners throughout the greater-Magalies smallholdings region as well as with attacks against black foreign Africans. A great many witnesses statements were collected by the arrest-team. http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/262970
BLACKWASH – bills itself as a pan-africanist group, however it always deflects away all blame for the disastrous management of the country from the ANC-regime - blaming the countries woes on ‘Settlers’ and, in its latest campaign, distributes “Anti-Afrophobia” pamphletsin townships sinceJuly 9 2010 – calling for attacks against ‘settlers’ :

“We will find places for your children in the orphanage’ – death threat
Besides the entire ANC-leadership’s pubic support for the hate-speech slogan Kill the Boer, and Shoot the Boer, and their constant refusal to publicly condemn hatespeech chants such as ‘One Bullet – One White Infant’ - - ANC-politicans themselves also create an atmosphere of anti-Boer hatred by issuing death-threats to Afrikaners in the political arena: one ANC-politician made the ‘shash-throat’ gesture towards opposition leader Helen Zille, which gesture was photographed by the parliamentary camera several years ago. A similarly prominent case occured on August 13 2008 in Pretoria, when the then-provincial agriculture minister Kabisi Mosunkutu (above) issued public death threats to Afrikaner-members of the Democratic Alliance opposition party: shouting at its chief whip Glenda Steyn that he ‘would find places for their children in the orphanage’ and then physically having them chased out of a press conference – as if the Afrikaners were dogs. He had been accused of fraudulent land-development dealings to the tune of R8million in a formal report by Gauteng provincial integrity-commissioner Adv. Jules Browde. Mrs Kemp and her DA-colleagues in the Gauteng legislature had all felt very threatened after Mosunkutu issued his ominous death threat. It must be noted that in 2010, he was the Provincial Safety MEC http://www.news24.com/Beeld/Suid-Afrika/0,,3-975_2374835,00.html http://constitutionallyspeaking.co.za/on-the-curious-case-of-shooting-the-boer/

SAPS officer under investigation for sex-slavery; also arrested: Portuguese brothel-owner Agrela Paulo José (28) together with Esther Nyamathe en Qoshiwe Skhosana;
REITZ, FREE STATE, South Africa. July 10 2010 - A Portuguese brothel/tavern-owner of Gauteng province, Angrela Paulo José, 28, appeared in the local magistrate’s court this week under sex-slavery charges, reports Volksblad newspaper. Two women from the township of Petsana near Reitz also appeared on the same charges and police said a specific police officer from Gauteng is ‘still under investigation’.
SAPS special investigations unit sergeant Mmako Mophiring said the man and the 19-year-old women are accused of taking seven young women, aged between 16 and 19 years, to Gauteng province under false pretences: promising them better jobs.. . José arrived in Reitz on Sunday to fetch the girls. However while they were waiting for the seventh girl to arrive, a resident of Petsana – who had had ‘a run-in’ with Jose before – tipped off the police. The special police unit, referred to as The Falcons, created a provincial task team some time ago to combat sex-slavery and the illegal trade in human beings. They arrested the two Pesana women on Monday and swooped on José the next day in Gauteng. The case was remanded to 14 July pending further investigations. Meanwhile the suspects remain in custody – but are expected to apply for bail on Wednesday, reports Volksblad journalist Jana van der Merwe- Volksblad http://www.volksblad.com/Suid-Afrika/Nuus/Sakeman-en-twee-vroue-in-hof-op-mensehandelklag-20100709
