BOSNIA, Apr 29 (LSN) – The UN controlled NATO forces have decided to create an “intervention tribunal”  designed to clamp down on politically incorrect information. The idea gained popularity after heavily armed NATO “peacekeepers” seized four radio and television transmitters controlled by Bosnian Serbs last October. The move was in response to Serb TV broadcasts suggesting that the U.N. war crimes tribunal was anti-Serb.  NATO is creating the tribunal with the power to forcibly stop radio, television and newspaper broadcasts from spreading “poisonous propaganda” which they say undermines “peace.” World Net Daily which reported the news noted that Western officials involved in organizing the speech police unit said it would monitor what news organizations publish and broadcast to determine whether they meet “internationally accepted standards.”  A US State Department official who requested anonymity told The New York Times: “There are obvious free-speech concerns, but we need to put in place something to deal with the abuses of the media— the hate, the racial epithets and ethnic slurs.” The statement is particularly dangerous since the liberal elite often sees a position against abortion as anti-woman and thus, as the UN puts it, a crime—forced pregnancy. Further, speaking out against the practice of homosexuality and other perversions could be seen as a hate crime.  In a style typical of classic propaganda, the draft charter of the “intervention tribunal” professes that the newly formed international mechanism will do the exact opposite of what it obviously will do. The draft claims it will “ensure the provision of free, balanced, unbiased and pluralist information prior.” The tribunal is set to be up and running in Bosnia before the September 1998 elections.
