I. Confronting
Jimmy Walter and 9/11, Part II or
Saddam Hussein’s
so-called WMD’s
Updated Introduction to the 1st Edition
By The Publisher with Emails from the Author
I
This updated
introduction has been given the polemical title "Confronting Jimmy Walter
and 9/11, Part II" for at least four reasons. Before attempting to substantiate
these reasons in order to bridge the large credibility gap that is bound to
have already arisen in the mind of the unsuspecting reader, these reasons shall
at first simply be listed and briefly commented upon.
The first reason is
the title page of this pre-publication, which shows a loaded container ship
sailing into the harbour of New York City with the emblem of the CIA and the
name Jimmy Walter on its bow. According to the designer of this front
page, the author
In a recent email to
me, he elaborated on this as follows:
“The collage on the front page of Operation Twins II that I sent you shows the atomic bomb of the CIA
that back in 2003 CIA Director Turner and the American Secretary of State Colin
Powell showed to the world in order to
‘prove’ that Saddam Hussein supposedly had weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
In reality, however, these were photos taken by "top agents" of the
CIA
And as everyone in the world now
knows, based on this ‘evidence’ Iraq was bombed flat, and these
weapons were never found. This was because the CIA had recovered them
from Iraq and - in the same manner that they were smuggled into Iraq (by boats)
- hid them in underwater forts, as shown already in the preview chapter of Operation Twins II available on internet
since 2005…
The entire second part of Operation Twins deals with the ‘atomic
bombs of Turner and Powell.’
.
As I told you at that time, that
front page shows the CIA atom bomb installation on the boat (owned by an
Egyptian from Alexandria, who has nothing to do with this smuggling - this
picture was chosen simply because I found the boat was suitable), that is why I
placed the CIA stamp under the nuclear bomb installation on that boat.
First, Saddam had no weapons of
mass destruction on the basis of which he could be charged, which is why the
CIA decided to show such an nuclear bomb
installation that was mobile due to the fact that it could be moved about by train or trucks. This
was a good idea of the CIA, but also
very bad, because in this way terrorists were given the idea that you could
move an nuclear bomb installation about via mobile means, such a mobile
transportation method is for example a boat.
This joke by the CIA can be
hallmarked as the stamp: shipment back to
sender.
Through this Operation Twins II collage, I wanted to show the world that we should
not play around with such deadly serious matters.
And do realize that the CIA will
have to justify why they have shown their own nuclear bomb installation in
public thereby demonstrating how small nuclear factories can be moved around.
This is the highest form of
idiocy.
Conclusion:
This atom bomb installation on the front page of Operation Twins II is a photo of the CIA nuclear installation that
supposedly Saddam Hussein possessed…
Greetings,
Slobodan
P.S.
The CIA was aware of all these plans in 1982 because they were able to lay
their hands on Operation Twins. I am
slowly beginning to wonder: were these agents who told me all that in detail
also not sent to me by the CIA and MOSSAD in order to afterwards prepare their
dirty wars, which are now already taking place? If I think things over well, I
would not be surprised if that were indeed the case.
Anyway, it is only in the United
States and nowhere else that an answer can be given to all these questions.”
The ship is thus not
named The New Mecca, as in the preview chapter entitled The Titians
of Operation Twins II in which divers from a container ship are prevented from
boarding a nuclear weapon from a secret underwater depot in international
waters by the sudden arrival of a US Navy destroyer, but of all people: Jimmy
Walter, the US multi-millionaire known, among other things, for his active role
in the 9/11 movement and his call to reopen the 9/11 investigation. Bear with
us.
The second reason is
that the name of the CIA agent in the Titians chapter mentioned above is
also named Walter, albeit without a first name.
The third reason
concerns the ominous date 9/11 in the title to this introduction, This brings
us to the disclosures by
This conspiracy of silence may also
explain the repeated attempts by the Dutch government to harass the author by
threatening to extradite him to Yugoslavia, where a certain death would await
him, in spite of two legal verdicts from
1986 (appendices 8 and 9) forbidding the Dutch government to do so.[5]
The latest attempt to extradite him in 2006 made headlines, not only in the national
Dutch media and press, but also in Serbia where a large national daily
published a four-page illustrated article announcing the imminent arrival in
Belgrade of this “Serbian Super Agent”. In appendix 1, a translation of this
article can be read. Public outcry by human rights officials and a pending
legal appeal by his lawyer managed to prevent or this extradition attempt.[6]
The authorities have also repeatedly refused to issue Mitric, who has been tolerated as an
undesirable alien in this country for 33 years and who was married to a Dutch
citizen, the independent artist Iris de Vries (who died in 2005 in hospital
under suspicious circumstances), a residence permit, which would finally allow
him to live and work here as a normal human being.
However, as already
indicated, not only leading Dutch politicians and officials were aware of this
“invisible war” and have apparently failed to act adequately on this
information, but also leading officials in the US. This is borne out by the
fact that Mitric sent in the eighties of the last century numerous reports via
his US connection Dr. Milorad Markovich to the CIA. Two such reports are
reprinted here in appendix 6. In one of them, Markovich addresses the
then director of the FBI as “Phil” informing him that Mitric had infiltrated
into an international ring of terrorists, including 10 Americans, and that he
had also discovered who was financing them.[7]
After Mitric finally had to come to the bitter and painful conclusion that
nothing much was done with these illustrated forewarnings to 9/11, he began to
publish them in his trilingual journal “The
Finally, the words
“Part II” in the title of this introduction beg an explanation, with which we
come to the promised attempt to substantiate the above reasons given for
confronting Jimmy Walters and others with these dire charges. Towards that end,
we shall now turn to some press releases as well as emails by Mitric to Walter
and vice-versa.
II
On May 25, 2005 the
Willehalm Institute gave out a press release entitled “CONFRONTING JIMMY WALTER: Does He Really Want
to Know Who Is Behind 9/11 and What Is Next?” which was later, with an update
on June 6, put on the Willehalm website, where it can still be read. This
occurred some two months after the public presentation of Operation Twins
on March 4 in the Dutch National Press Centre Nieuwspoort, situated next
to the Parliament buildings in The Hague, which, not surprisingly, was all but
boycotted by the invited mass media.[9]
Although review copies with press releases etc. were subsequently sent out to
the national and international press, not a single review appeared, the only
two Dutch distributors of English-speaking books Van Ditmar and Nillsson
en Lamb refused to handle it, while the National Library Service sent a
copy back with the cryptic comment: “too specialistic” with the result that no
library received any notice of it. Therefore, when we heard that US
multi-millionaire Jimmy Walter and his team of experts were coming on his Mega European
tour with a call to reopen the 9/11 investigation, we thought that in him we
had finally found an ally, especially since he made an urgent appeal for help
from the old continent – i.e. someone possibly interested in the prophetic
findings and testimony of Mitric’ criminological research and financially in a
position to widely disseminate it. Yet, all our efforts to reply to his call
for assistance met with a deaf ear and we therefore started wondering what his
real agenda was. In the press release, this was formulated as follows:
“This long silence on the part of Jimmy
Walter however, who has after all put himself with his Mega tour in the
forefront as the prime 9/11 truth-seeker of the present moment, is doubly
strange and unsettling. For my contribution to the opening leg of his tour
Now undoubtedly this
multi-millionaire receives his share of cranks and phonies and has many things
on his mind, yet his protracted silence leads me and Dr. Mitric as an
experienced criminologist, to ask: either Jimmy Walter is surrounded by an
ill-advised staff who have not brought these pertinent and urgent matters to
his attention, or worse have consciously withheld this material from him, or on
the other hand – presuming that he did receive and read the emails and the book
– that with his “Mega” European tour he is not really interested in finding out
the concrete truth behind 9/11 and what is next, but rather in promoting his
own person, thereby attracting and registering interested people and parties,
who may have useful information, without following it up with a concerted
course of common action. If this is indeed his real agenda, Mr. Walter has no
moral right to call Bush a liar as he did, for then he himself is an
ego-tripper, charlatan or worse. If this however is not the case, I again
strongly urge him to establish contact with a source who can, according to my
insight and judgment, lead him to the truth behind 9/11 in order to prevent
further, even more catastrophic events in the future.”
A few days later, I went to London by bus to
promote the book there (without any success) and to meet up with Jimmy Walter
on the last leg of his Mega tour. What happened there, I emailed him on June 6:
“I recently got
back from London where I did speak (dressed in a grey suit) at the opening of
the English part of your European tour in Friends House, but where I got
silenced by the chairman (mike also went dead) just when I wanted to make known
what, according to Dr.
In this email I did
not mention that after the enforced end of my speech in Friends House I walked
up to the podium and handed Jimmy Walter a copy of Operation Twins with
in it a copy of this press release. On my return to Amsterdam, I learned that
this material had mysteriously disappeared, only to be found on the kitchen
table of one of the members of his staff in London…
In a reply
on that same day, June 6, to the press release, Jimmy Walter denied the
“completely wrong allegations” and made some additional comments on my press
release, which, together with the press release itself, he said he
distributed to his list.
After I had sent yet another copy
to a Polish associate of his in England, he replied by email, stating that he
was now studying the book and asking for the address of the author, which I
gave to him. On August 31, I received an email from Walter with the subject
“Bush-Cheney Rendezvous at Desert One”, referring to an article by Webster
Tarpley, author of “9/11 Synthetic Terror – Made In USA”, that began with the
words: “With the direct threat of military attack against Iran issued Aug. 13
by Bush, the world has entered a phase of new and acute danger of general
[nuclear] war”. His message was: “This is similar to your source.” That was the
last we heard of him until after the Mega-conference in Utrecht in 2006.
Now all this time, I had spoken to
“The person whom I recognized from the DVD [“Confronting
the Evidence] that you lent me [last year] is the person whom I got to know in
the summer of 1990 through Paul Wilking (Pistol Paul). Namely, this American
multi-millionaire was involved in the liquidation of an acquaintance of mine,
whom I described in my book “Nederland’s Maffia” (The Dutch Mafia). This
is a certain Jan Wanroij, who lived in a caravan or wagon camp and who first
wound up in jail on the basis of a false accusation that he murdered a
prostitute (a female agent of Walter) and who after that was liquidated on
orders from Walter.
Be that as
it may, Jan Wanroije had a meeting at that time with CIA boss Walter in
Zoetemeer [a Dutch town near The Hague], after which he disappeared from the
face of the earth.
The people
who informed me about this question maintain that Walter had Jan Wanroij
executed, because he was guilty of treason by revealing the location, or
threatened to do so, of a container filled with cobalt that was stolen from the
Rotterdam harbour. This container with cobalt was reportedly returned at the
request of the then alderman Bram Peper to the place from where it was stolen.
(This was declared to me by a very reliable person, who was a member of the
IDB, Inlichtingendienst Buitenland [Dutch CIA]).
Be that as
it may, this Jimmy Walter was planning to do the same with me. He reportedly
paid more than a hundred thousand dollars to Pistol Paul [Paul Wilking] to lure
me to a car junk yard in The Hague, where the same lot as Jan Wanroije was
scheduled to await me.
I met this
multi-millionaire Jimmy Walter for a few minutes before I was to have been sent
to my death. I was sitting in Wilking’s offical car, a red Mercedes 500 SL or
something. A millionaire was there on the street with a beautiful young woman a
few hundred yards away from the place where I was to meet my death. Wilking
introduced me to this fake CIA man.
Now is not
the time to describe to you all the things that happened then, but I am
convinced that it was the same person that I recognized from the DVD.
The reason I had to be put away was
that I had discovered that Jimmy Walter was part of the “TITIAN” group, the
group that was planning to commit terrorist attacks in the USA, something which
I had reported to the then head of Reserve Police-International [General
Healey] thereby explicitly mentioning that a CIA millionaire was behind these
complots: attacks by airplanes on The White House, The House of Congress, The
Pentagon, The New York World Trade Centrum and a nuclear power plant with the
objective of unleashing a Third World War.
With my
death, the CIA millionaire had wanted to prevent that his plans would fail.
The CIA
millionaire had become rich by exploiting an illegal lotto in Europe,
especially in The Netherlands.
A friend
of mine, the first director of the BVD [Dutch National Security Agency] the
deceased Hans Teengs Gerritsen, who was poisoned, warned me about both persons,
Pistol Paul en the American CIA multi-millionaire.
I would
appreciate it if you would translate this letter and publish it in the
prepublication of Operation Twins II.
I would
also appreciate it if you would inform Jimmy Walter about the contents of this
letter and to ask him during his speech [during the 9/11 Mega-Conference in
Utrecht, The Netherlands, on September 16, 2006] for his reaction.
If this
Jimmy Walter has nothing to do with my above-mentioned accusations, then there
would have to be a twin brother in the picture.
If Jimmy
Walter has nothing to hide, then he has to tell the truth. It is very, very
much in his own interests.
I am not
planning to step aside for any CIA impostor whatsoever.”
In response to some
questions of mine,
“I want to return to your
remark about Jimmy Walter, whom I describe as a CIA boss and yet sometimes as a
fake CIA man, an impostor.
The matter
is such that he was introduced to me as a CIA man, but because he was
implicated by the liquidation of Jan Wanroij, Jimmy Walter is in my eyes an
impostor, because the CIA does not liquidate people lightly; there had to be a
very, very acceptable reason for regarding Jan Wanroij as a great menace to
society. This was not the case; what indeed was true is that in Kralingen, a
suburb of Rotterdam, Wanroij threw a firebomb into the sleeping room of a
family of a BVD [Dutch National Security Agency] man named J.B. where also the
wife of this BVD man with two little kids was sleeping. (At that time, I did a
thorough investigation into this matter at the request of the Dutch Secret
Service, which brought to light that this BVD boss J.B. himself engaged Jan
Wanroij to carry out this operation. However, Jan did not let the bomb explode,
but as a scare monger used it to install fear. The wife of J.B. called the
police; it was a big scandal in the seventies. In a secret operation, I was
then able to completely solve this case, as a result of which Jan Wanroij was
let off the hook , but the CIA millionaire had other ideas and that he has to
explain himself. That is why I call him a CIA impostor.
As to Hans Teengs Gerritsen, Paul
Wilking [Pistol Paul] has declared to me that Gerritsen was poisoned by someone
putting a special poison in his milk.
Gerritsen’s
son, Hans junior has furnished me with me a different explanation, namely that
his father suffered a natural death while driving in a car and that Hans junior
was sitting next to him when this happened. But it is not improbable that Hans
junior has to lie, because he also declared to me that in every matter he has
to first talk to (X) and that it is (X) who decides what and what not he
is allowed to say.
Hans had arranged with me that I
would help him in writing his memoirs. We worked a lot on
these memoirs; in it there was also mention of an uncle of mine who, together
with Hans, fought against the Krauts [Germans] in the Second World War.
The reason
that Hans was liquidated was that he was against the reunification of Germany,
like, as a matter of fact, also his friend [Dutch] Prince Klaus. Hans begged me
to use all possible means to stop this reunification.
Now
Robert, so much for this question, because in Operation Twins part III,
I have written extensively about this subject.”
So much also for this
attempt in the first edition to substantiate the reasons for giving this
introduction the polemical title “Confronting Jimmy Walter and 9/11, Part II”.
This was thus how
matters stood on the eve of the “Mega-conference on the Lies, Facts and
Consequences of 9/11” in Utrecht on September 16, where according to the
program, would speak from 2.30-3.00 p.m. on the topic “To Re-open the 911 movement worldwide”,
the person whom we were moved to figure so prominently in this introduction and
whom, as we wrote: “we will attempt to confront or at least present there with
this publication.” How this was done and what the outcome thereby was will be
dealt with in the last part of this introduction, which is partly based on the
insert and update for this pre-publication written on September 21, 2006.
III
The insert included the press releases in Dutch and
English that the Willehalm Institute had put out the evening before the
Mega-conference. The Dutch press release was entitled “Confronting Jimmy Walter, Part II - Revealing Prepublication
Operation Twins II Hot From The Press” and read in part (here freely
translated): “In his summary to this sequel of Operation Twins I, the Serbian writer Slobodan Mitric not only
reveals, based on his experiences as a former Yugoslavian top secret agent, the
invisible war raging between former American and Russian secret service agents
and the role thereby of the international (Dutch) mafia, but that furthermore
the Dutch government keeps, or is forced to keep, its mouth shut about this
clandestine continuation of the Cold War. In two challenging letters to his
publisher, he accuses the US multimillionaire and prominent 9/11 activist Jimmy
Walter of playing an active role in this invisible war. Tomorrow an attempt
will be made to confront Walter – who is one of the many speakers at this 9/11
conference at the Utrecht Trade Fair (2.30-3 p.m.) – with this allegation.”
This press release was emailed to several national Dutch newspapers such as De
No
reaction from the mass media anywhere has since been received. (As
Mitric later said, informing the media beforehand was a mistake, because
through his media connections, it gave Walter a warning that his credentials
would be challenged.)
As to the 9/11 Mega
Conference in Utrecht on September 16 itself, its visitors and organisers were
confronted with the issue at hand. Some 200 Dutch press releases were handed
out (some of which were promptly confiscated by Walter’s security agents) and
the prepublication itself was offered for sale or handed out to journalists and
writers. During a short speech in a question period I referred in public to the
prepublication and the press release, mentioning also the actual possibility
that a CIA “mole” had infiltrated the 9/11 movement and was even present at
this conference.[10] I
also spoke to Jimmy Walter personally. What transpired in this encounter is
described in the following report.
“From:
To: World
Director Reserve Police International Dr. Slobodan Radojev Mitric
Zeeburgerdijk 25, 1093
SK Amsterdam
Amsterdam, September 19, 2006
Concerns: NEW TERRORIST ATACK IN OR ON THE USA IN
OCTOBER 2006 AS PREDICTED BY JIMMY WALTER DURING THE MEGA-CONFERENCE ON 9/11 IN
UTRECHT, THE NETHERLANDS ON SEPTEMBER 16, 2006
Dear Slobodan,
During his public speech at the above conference in
Utrecht, Jimmy Walter stated that in order to (again) influence public opinion
in favour of the Republicans before the coming November elections another
terrorist attack, bigger than 9/11 is, in his opinion, to be expected in the
coming month of October.
Jimmy Walter I met and spoke with personally at the
conference, once before and once after his public speech there.
During the second meeting, I told Walter, among other
things, that [you] Slobodan could perhaps with his experience and expertise
prevent the attack in October that he (Walter) in his speech predicted would
happen, because you had in the past infiltrated the group behind the previous attacks
and thus could perhaps prevent this coming attack. At first Walter reacted by
saying that he did not want to meet [up] with such dangerous people. But when I
asked hem, if he did not want to help prevent this coming attack, he agreed to meet up with you and gave me his own email
address.
During the first meeting, I presented Walter with a
copy of Operation Twins II with his
name on the boat shown on the cover. During
the second time, it was he who approached me, asked for a second copy of Operation Twins II and almost grabbed
one out my hands.
This I have written and recollected to the best of my
memory.
I will fill you in with more detail as soon as
possible. I have already submitted several reports to you regarding this
matter.”
The insert itself became necessary because due to two
oversights. One was that the letter by
M. Markovich to the Director of the FBI, dated August 6, 1987 with the
information on who was financing the group of terrorists in Amsterdam (see
appendix 4b) was not printed in its entirety.[11]
This letter was therefore emailed by Slobodan Mitric on September 19 2006 to
the address Jimmy Walter had given me at the Mega-conference. He received the
following answer:
“Hi,
To know for
sure that you are a real live human being and not a spam source, this email
address requires a verification from you.
To
complete this verification, simply reply to this message and leave the subject
line intact.
Sorry for
the inconvenience, but we were hacked, our mail server was used to spam our own
list and others, and our site was crashed; damn CIA, MI6, and Mossad!
Jimmy”
After responding to the verification procedure, S.
Mitric wrote with the following email:
“Amsterdam,
September 19, 2006
DIRECTOR
OF WORLD RESERVE POLICE INTERNATIONAL
DR.
SLOBODAN RADOJEV MITRIC – VON PIVA
To: JIMMY
WALTER
Dear Sir!
Thank you
for your email.
Question I: Did you meet me with Paul Wilking in The
Hague in the summer of 1990: Yes or no?
Question
II: Do you know Paul Wilking?
Question III: Your prison guard that had such
“beautiful” things to say about me [during the conference to my publisher],
please tell me his name. Is that perhaps Peter, former bodyguard of the
deceased Fred Heineken?
If you know me, tell me! If you don’t know me, I will
investigate this matter.
That’s
all.
Yours
sincerely,
SLOBODAN
VON PIVA”
This email solicited the same non-answer again and
again.Concerning the question of the identity of Walter’s bodyguards, Mitric wrote
me the following email on September 27, 2006:
“There are
two guards, who according to me have something to do with Walter.
One (whose name is known by the publisher) is blond. I
know him from the eighties; he was discharged as a [prison] guard and went to
work for the BVD [Dutch National Security Service].
At the beginning of the nineties he
participated in the kidnapping of a friend and informant of mine, Jaap van der
Heijden, who was involved in the nuclear affair concerning Pakistan. Even the
current president of Pakistan, then a general, came to visit this man in Heerhugowaard nearby Alkmaar via a member (Mr.
K.) of the IDB [Dutch CIA] a week before this man [van der Heijden] was
executed by means of explosives in Alkmaar.
It
could very well be this guard, but it could also be a police sergeant, Mr.
Bogart or something like that. This head guard was also discharged and went to
work for the BVD at the end of the seventies or the beginning of the eighties.
Via a FBI agent J.B., I heard about
this man in connection with a certain Jimmy. I did not personally meet this
guard then (I don’t know who it is), but he was present when this FBI boss
threatened this police sergeant and that Jimmy in my name. I found all that
very strange and (in order not to write too long about this question) I
protested then against the fact that the FBI man threatened this Bogart and
Jimmy in my name.
I did
some research about the circumstances around this FBI man J.B. (whom I knew
from 1967 in Paris and who was also for decades a personal friend of Prince
Bernard) and his battalion
at the request of the Dutch Secret Service … (this involved research into the
threat to kidnap a top nuclear engineer of the atomic research centre in
Amsterdam Saris.
Thus perhaps one of this guards met
you [at the mega-conference in Utrecht], but it could naturally also be
somebody else.
It is strange that this happened in
the way you say and write.
P.S.
A
certain Mr. Brouwer from Tilburg had a business relation (running an illegal
lottery in [the province of] Brabant with an American millionaire Walter in
January/February 1980.
His
sister Mechli had a relation with that Walter.
In de
summer of 1982, she accused me – at the request of two corrupt policemen Theo Buis en Hans Vis, as can be read in my
book “Nederland’s Maffia” – of supposedly being raped by me in January/February
1980.
Slowly
everything is falling into place.
Slobodan
Since that time (September 2006) no further answer or
reaction, legal or otherwise, has been received. Should however a lawsuit for libel or slander
against the author still be forthcoming from any of the persons or parties
named by him, he has let it be known that – under the conditions that were already
agreed upon in his past dealings with the Dutch government – he would welcome
this as an opportunity to finally be able to prove his accusations and
disclosures in a public court.
IV
That
the credibility gap mentioned at the beginning in the mean time will have been narrowed
down, let alone closed, is hardly to be expected. But if the unbiased reader
has at least been moved to consider the possibility that there is much more to
these matter here than simply meets the eye and that more research or even a
public international inquiry are urgently called for, then the publisher would
consider his efforts to have been worthwhile.[12]
My
final remark concerns the critical question sometimes put as to why a
publisher, who has in the past 15 years only published anthroposophically inspired
publications such as “How The Grail Sites Were Found – Wolfram von Eschenbach
and The Reality of The Grail” and “The Virtues” (in Dutch), has since 2005
apparently switched to such an altogether different genre. For those
interested, my answer to that, based on updated excerpts from the
legal charter of the Willehalm Institute Press Foundationcan be found in
appendix 10 “Brief History and Objectives of the Willehalm Institute”.
Founding Director, Willehalm Foundation
Amsterdam, September 14, 2006 (updated May
16, 2008)
[1] Mitric received an honorary degree in law from the Arizona College
of Police Science in 1986 based on his book Operation Twins. In that
same year, 41
[2] By means of this title page, placed on the Willehalm website in 2005, this particular containership has, according to Mitric, in the mean time been identified and seized by US authorities, who found weapons on board.
[3] Machiavelli in
his Arte della Geurra (Treatise of War)
in his day of 1521 warned of this ominous development: “I say (…) that (…)
governments should fear those persons who make war their only business. And if
a prince has not enough power over his infantry to make them disband and return
cheerfully to their former occupations when war is over, he is on the road to
being ruined. (Machiavelli 19)”
[4] In 1979, Mitric was asked by his superior, General Healey to
contact the later prominent Liberal Dutch politician F. Bolkestein, who was
about to become the boss of the CIA in
[5] Not that he feels safe here. Since the attempt on his life
[6] Following the advice of Mitric’s lawyer Mr. Sarolea, it was originally planned to delay the publication of this potentially explosive booklet until after the outcome of the appeal, so as not to rock the boat too much in advance and possibly endanger thereby a positive outcome. But since this outcome is taking much longer than expected, since it will probably be a negative one and since the author has completely run out of borrowed means to keep himself alive, it was decided to go ahead with the publication now in the hope that it will solicit the necessary attention and support for the further translation and publication of the complete versions of Operation Twins II and III, thereby providing a source of livelihood for the author. Update: this legal appeal was, as was expected, lost, financial aid was nihil. A positive note however is that since the last election in November 2006, the controversial Dutch minister responsible for this ruling, Mrs. Verdonk, has finally been removed from her post (only to become head of another ministry). She has since then become the head of a populist new political movement called “Proud of The Netherlands”… Whether the Dutch have a reason to be proud of her suspected role in silencing Slobodan Mitric remains to be seen.
[7] Markovich had to pay dearly, apparently with his own life, for his active role as intermediary between Mitric and US intelligence officials.
[8] The criticism that this collage could just as well have been constructed after 9/11 can readily be refuted by the contacting the governments and officials to whom they were sent and by checking the dates on the postal stamps.
[9] The presentation was scheduled to take place next to the hall where Dutch Prime Minister Balkenende happened to be holding his weekly press conference. When the Prime Minister came out of this hall at the end of this conference – surrounded by a few body guards and followed by a swarm of journalists – I managed to hand him and some members of his entourage a press release coupled with an invitation to attend my book presentation, which the author himself saw unfortunately not fit to attend for fear of getting arrested, based on a new law requiring everyone to carry identification. Only the quixotic editor of the “Amsterdam Daily Invisible” showed up, which at least made it possible that the presentation could be held at all.
[10] One of the speakers at this conference had earlier spoken on the use of ‘moles” and “patsies” by the secret services, giving me an opportunity to enlarge on this. During my brief speech, I did not mention Jimmy Walter’s name point-blank, but in the context of the press release and the pre-publication given out previously, it was clear to whom this possible “mole” referred.
[11] The other oversight that had to be corrected was that the description Mitric had given of the copy shop in Scheveningen in front of which he and Paul Wilking were photographed was incomplete. The complete caption may be found on the inside of the back page.
