Is Former CA Governor Pete Wilson
wreaking havoc in Kosovo?
by Victor Payan
Pocho War Subcorrespondiente
Belgrade - California is abuzz with rumors today that the state's controversial
former governor Pete Wilson is the mastermind behind Serbian leader Slobodan
Milosevic's ethnic cleansing program in Kosovo and the man responsible
for the capture of the three American servicemen last month.
In a recent press conference, NATO spokesman Jamie Shea said that although
final proof was not available at this time, he could not deny rumors that
the former California governor was in fact the dread Serb leader Arkan.
"We believe that Wilson or Arkan, whoever he is, saw Ramirez, Gonzalez
and Stone close to the border and had them picked up out of sheer force
of habit, thinking that all three men were Hispanic and trying to sneak
into the country," said Shea, adding, "and besides, Wilson and
Arkan have never been seen in the same room together."
Stone's parents issued a statement confirming that their son is one-sixteenth
Cherokee and always wore a locket with a picture of his wife, who is Latina,
around his neck.
NATO intelligence sources also claim to have heard reports from Albanian
refugees of an American man matching Wilson's description walking the streets
of Belgrade, kicking dogs and small children.
Wilson was known in Sacramento to have held a thinly-veiled contempt for
ethnic Albanians, calling them wanna-beaners. Once he told an off-color
joke at a party in which he referred to the war-torn Balkan republics as
"Chuco-slavia."
The rumors of the former governer's presence in Kosovo caused waves of
alarm amongWilson-watching organizations, as the former governor was long
suspected of funneling millions of dollars of California Lottery money,
which was slated for school districts, into an anti- immigrant partical
beam known only as "The Phantom Menace."
This phrase, coincidentally, was first used by Wilson in a 1995 speech
called "The Phantom Menace: Sunshine, Citrus and Ethnic Cleansing"
in which he boasted of how one day he would be able to make thousands of
undocumented immigrants mysteriously vanish overnight.
In that speech, "ethnic cleansing" referred to a plan for placing
immigrants in menial service jobs, such as dishwashers, carwash attendants
and hotel maids. When asked how he would accomplish this, Wilson replied
"use the force" or "use force," according to sources
who requested anonymity. In his speech, Wilson also allegedly outlined
a plan to turn a certain peaceful Southern California community into "Bosnia-Westacovina."
"At first we weren't sure," says Simone Queyés, of the
Fresno-based group Wilson Watcheros, "but then all those refugees
disappeared. It fits his M.O. Then if you consider the Serb leader is named
Arkan, and Pete Wilson's policies were considered arcane. Two plus two
equals four, que no? Plus, he also sent Gray Davis a postcard from a health
spa in Montenegro."
A Wilson spokesman, Ramomir Sonovabic, called the accusations, "Preposterous.
It is a fascist ploy by the fascist NATO fascists."
In an unrelated incident, a dark haired man with a moustache, who is reportedly
also an American, has been spotted sweeping the streets after bombings
in various cities and telling the Kosovars that the solution to their problems
is "ganas."
