Like seventy years ago also today priests of Rome in the squares to fire modern Ustase:

......................
"Culprits are not in The Hague"
Among the speaker also the bishop of Gospić, Mile Bogovic and representatives of associations of war veterans between 1990 and 1996, Mario Max Slavičak, which, as the main culprits for the Hague verdict listed Mesić, Pusić, Sanader, as well as the current President Josipovič. Slavičak he said, the biggest culprits are not in Le Hague or London, but much closer, they are in Pantovčak and in Mark's Square. "They are among us from the first day of the foundation of this country," he added. The crowd chanted slogans all the time "treason! Treason!" and "In the fight!". On stage, he appeared as singer the ill-famed Marko Perkovic Thompson (**).

"Together 1995"

In the opposite direction it worked the Serbian ultra-nationalists of the circle of general Petar Živković, whose assassination of Croatian member of Yugoslav's parliament inside the same parliament, led to the dictaturial government of the same general supported by the Slovenian Jesuit priest as well interior minister Anton Korošec (*). If you don't take in consideration such backgrounds of Yugoslavia, and the deep work of the Jesuits (helped by other subjects of course like Masons etc.) in to put Croats and Serbs one against the other, all along the twenties and thirties, you will never understand anything else than a perfect absolute Zero.
