The two historical moments that defined today's Bosnia were the occupation by Ottoman Turkey in 1463, and handing Bosnia over to Austria-Hungary in 1878. The latter undoubtedly defined Bosnia's destiny for centuries to come, which culminated in the heavy crisis she's going through as we speak. The current crisis is the consequence of unresolved questions from the 1878 Congress of Berlin. ("...the Congress failed to consider adequately the aspirations of the Balkan peoples and, thereby, laid the foundation for future crises in the Balkans", Britannica, 1999). But how did the change of occupation happen in the first place, and why? Moreover, how do entire countries (European at that!) simply "change hands", and how is this done over night? Of course, one correct answer is: via treason. Another correct answer is related to that: via shameful betrayal of the national interests by domestic aristocracy and intellectuals whose personal gains (financial; career) became their only concern. The third correct answer is (why I'm not surprised) - Britain and Vatican. Namely, the chief engineer of the monstrous project of replacing one occupationist in Bosnia with another was a British lord (why I'm not surprised, again) Robert Salisbury (1830-1903) [pictured right]. The details from his biography that are relevant for the Bosnia case are that he lost his mom at age 10, that he had such an unfortunate childhood that even his biographers couldn't avoid mentioning it, and that he was bullied big time all the way through his schooling. What a profile of a grow-up-to-become-a-Hitler!

The unresolved issues from the 1877 Russo-Turkish war had made a new war inevitable just one year later - this time between Russia and England (the Turkey's geostrategic "partner of a thousand years", together with being a partner of the Vatican since that freak pope named Borgia). Britain apparently got scared, so British foreign minister Salisbury came up with the following genocidal plan. Since Turkey was getting weak as it was feudal and stretched on three continents, Bosnia was becoming a burden. At the same time, another British geostrategic partner of a thousand years, the industrial but smaller Austria (Austria-Hungary) had become desperate for resources and territory. But most importantly, Russia sought to expend into Bosnia, thus acquiring exit to the strategic mid-Adriatic waters... So, what did Salisbury do? He replaced the Ottoman occupation for the Austrian occupation! How to do it legally? Ask the pope as the de joure sovereign of Bosnia based on forged last will by last queen (consort!) of Bosnia, one Catherine who "left Bosnia to the popes" - in popes' dreams of course. (The popes will rent out any part of Illyria for a small fee to just about anyone, as they do since Rome conquered Illyria in 9AD!)

For this, he undertook secret diplomacy, and a cover-up "1878 Congress of Berlin" was set up within a week. In it, Austria pretended she was worried about the destiny of Bosnian Christians, and asked if she could occupy Bosnia. As expected, most European states sympathized. So in a single move Turkey has freed 100,000 soldiers and moved them from Bosnia to the Russian front, while Austria became enormously rich at the expense of her new colony Bosnia (minerals; 1st class forest). Austria's gains from Bosnia are estimated at over $100 billion worth today. Pope got his percentage of blood money too.
Russia soon realized that the situation had changed, and the war preparations against England were called off. Bosnians took Islam after the English ally Turkey occupied Bosnia in 1527, as there were no Slavs in Bosnia at the time. In order to make the handover appear unsuspicious to Bosnians, the secret diplomacy culminated with a staged armed resistance that took several thousand Bosnian lives. For his genocidal plan, queen Victoria bestowed upon Salisbury the Order of the Garter, the highest decoration she could give. Conservative party was delighted with this man's cruelty , so they elected him the party president, in 1885. He served as British Prime Minister in three terms over 13 years, during which time he maniacally held on to the foreign minister post as well.

In his mandate as a PM/foreign minister, Salisbury's psychotic profile of a bullied kid simply exploded, and he personally redrew borders of most of the states in Africa, split up the entire Arabia into dozens of funny-shaped countries (drawing borders to match the oil reserves i.e. the oil companies' interests), reinstated cruelty in the British army - India in particular, occupied Cyprus and South Africa, and the list goes on... For his cold-blooded dictatorship and cruelty he was dubbed the "PM with Imperial Ambitions", and "English Napoleon". That it was the case of madness can be seen from the way he raised his children too: his son lord Robert Cranborne (1893-1972) designed the apartheid regime of South African Republic. The other son, lord Edward Gascoyne-Cecil (1867-1917) was a colonial administrator of Egypt, known for cruelty and smuggling. The third son, lord Robert Cecil (1864-1958), has founded in 1919 the "League of Nations" - the predecessor of the "United Nations"... Like father like sons, and these grabbing maniacs took a big bite of the cake themselves, so the Salisbury estate today is estimated at around $ 1 billion... Demonstrably, the world as we know it is a creation of a single "dynasty" of money-grabbing lunatics that originated from one bullied kid! (And by dynasty I don't mean just the Salisbury's, since the creation of the two key geostrategic points - the Suez Canal and the Panama Canal - was commissioned before and after Salisbury's terms, respectively, so the British collective never depends on any single person or family - it rather uses many individuals' relentnessness - relentlessly).

As you can imagine, given what I showed earlier (on your ignorance being as useful to your enemy as your knowledge is to you), the above story was never told by any history textbook in fmr. Yugoslavia. (And they say conspiracies don't exist - obviously, the only possible conspiracy theory is the one which says that all conspiracies must be - theories!) Also, British history today largely ignores Mr. Salisbury, just like it tries to ignore the game of geostrategy, which is why the Encyclopedia Britannica, despite its century-old tradition, year after year "forgets" to mention GEOSTRATEGY. This happens because Britain benefited from Salisbury's criminal mind and global piracy more than she has ever benefited from anyone or anything else in her entire history - which, by the way, is a history of the world's biggest parasite (geoparasite) that's been selling mirrors and shiny beads to mankind for over one and a half millennium now...

Who would have thought that we (the world) are actually still biting on the same bait over and over again - and from the same bullied morons with top-hats. It's Salisbury's grand grand son lord Wakeham, who in 1992 became Elizabeth's Lord Privy Seal (imperial geostrategist), and came to Sarajevo that same year to set the chess pieces in their position, making sure the blood games could begin...
