British & Australia’s Uranium Killing Serbs

This documentary film based on the work of Serbian-born Australian author B. Wongar shows the relationship between British nuclear testing, uranium mining in Australia and the use of depleted uranium weapons in Serbia, and Serbian province of Kosovo. Well worth watching this trailer revealing one of the biggest secrets of the mining of uranium in Australia and the subsequent British nuclear testing… killing thousands of Serbs:

The World’s Best Sporting Nation Is Serbia

Yes, Serbia, despite a population of 10 something million is the world’s best sporting nation. We don’t have oil, but we have balls and the best players. Yesterday, World’s No. 1 Novak Đoković won his third Australia open title, beating Spain’s Rafael Nadal 3-2 in a dramatic and exhaustive six hour match in Melbourne. The same day, Serbian national water polo team won European championship in Holland, beating Montenegro 9-8. And again, the same day, the national handball team took the silver in the European Handball Championship final. Tens of thousands of fans (20.000 including me) gave a heroes’ welcome to their national sports heroes in front of Belgrade city hall on Monday evening in sub-zero temperatures. Thank you so much, so proud of you guys…

Submarines Have Fired Missiles At Belgrade!!

It never ceases to amaze me that despite massive (and biased) TV and media coverage of the US-NATO humanitarian peace-keeping mission aggression against Serbia in 1999, a guy (who visited Belgrade) is asking over at Blog-o-Scope this question: “Who launched the missiles on Serbia?”

Who launched the missiles on Serbia?
I remember being in Belgrade – Serbia and seeing massive holes in some of the buildings, apparently launched from coastal submarines, who was running this attack?

Three key things to note about this: (1) It’s great that this guy visited Serbia, and Belgrade. (2) It’s really sad to hear that after visiting Belgrade he does not know that Blgrade was bombed by US-NATO, and not by missiles launched from coastal submarines! (3) We still have a lot of work to do to educate people and change the image of Serbia (tell the truth).
