Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger talks about the mistake of recognizing Bosnia and Herzegovina as an independent state even tough it had never existed as such previously in history - that is, except for in the Middle Ages under the Serbian Kotromanić dynasty. At the same time he admits that the United States encouraged Alija Izetbegović to go that path when it objected to the Carrington-Cutileiro peace plan of February 1992, which would have made Bosnia a confederation divided into several ethnic cantons on the model of Switzerland.

But when listening to Kissinger, one should not overlook the real motive for why the Americans gave Alija Izetbegović backing when decelerating the independence of a country where he represented only a minority of 40 percent. For it was not because they were worried Russia was going to break up, as Kissinger states here, but their hidden agenda of undermining the Europeans on their own turf by creating another crisis for them to deal with.

This crisis which could have been avoided had Alija Izetbegović not revoked his signature from the Carrington-Cutileiro peace plan, eventually developed into a war that was to last for roughly four years. And a war which the Americans - needless to say, after heavy bombardment of the Serbs - solved in 1995 with the signing of the Dayton Peace Accord. With it the Americans had at shown to all critics that there was a role of NATO to play even after the Cold War.

This is an extract from an interview by Charlie Rose made in 1994. It along with much more interesting videos can be found by browsing my channel.

Evo, pogledaj i 4dportal.com, odlična stranica. Imaš na njoj članke npr. "Kontrola illuminata i subliminalne poruke", te "Kartaška igra Illuminati predvidjela mnoge događaje"... Naravno, ima dosta i drugih članaka, kao i o F.E.M.A. koncentracijskim logorima koji su nedavno aktivirani... Lijep pozdrav
