1. We must cure the enormous rift between Serbs and Islam. While I, an admant Orthodox Christian am no proponet of the Muslim relgion, it is ridiculous to think that the Muslim Bosnians will ever even consider rejoining Serbdom if their relgion is forbidden.

2. We should offer incentives for memebrs of pseudo-ethnicities who have rennounced their past affiliations with invented ethnicities and declared themselves Serb (a prime example would be Nemanja Kusturica, recently knighted). Also, we should offer incentives for Muslims who convert to Orthodoxy but by no means should we segregate Muslim Serbs from Orthodox ones.

3. Serbia can pressure countries into joinng with us through economic pressure. Of course, to do this, Serbia would have to fully exploit here oil reserves and natural resources to the maximum of her ability and actually build a decent economy. Also, by making psedo-ethnic nations totally dependent on our trade routes, encouraging them to rejoin would be that much easier.

4. We must offer formerly pseudo-ethnicities equal chances in government and offer them positions of power in ministeries and etc.

5. When and if a unified state is achieved, we must remove all notions of regionalism from society by slowly centralizing the state and eliminating inter-state boundaries. This will promote national unity and will make sure that people won’t begin calling themselves something else simply because their ‘republic’ has a different name than that of Serbia’s (a prime example of this would be Montenegro and Tito’s brainwashing of that people into thinking they are of different ethnic stock than Serbs).

The nationalist writers needed to do nothing more than provide [Skenderbeg] with a national significance and some embellishment, subjecting him to the laboratory that serves to transform history into myth. As with most myths, his figure and his deeds became a mixture of historical facts, truths and half-truths, inventions and folklore… For 19th century Albanians, a majority of whom had adhered to the faith of Skenderbeg’s Muslim enemies, the religious dimension needed to be avoided. Consequently, Skenderbeg became simply the national hero of all Albanians, the embodiment of the myth of ‘continuous resistance’ against their numerous foes over the centuries.

According to Albanian Pirro Misha, Skenderbeg, as Albanians know him or think they know him, is nothing more than a myth: a mixture of historical facts, truths and half-truths, inventions and folklore… The Albanian nationalist elites have turned Skenderbeg into the basis for the myth of ‘continuous resistance’. In fact, there was no ‘continuous resistance’ by the Albanians. There is only the betrayal of Skenderbeg by their conversion to the faith of Skenderbeg’s Muslim enemies. The religious dimension needed to be avoided to serve a basis for control of the Christian Albanians by the Muslim Albanian nationalist elites. Skenderbeg’s identity was completely hijacked and along with it, Albanian Christianity.

In Part 1 of Project Perpjekja, there was much discussion about Albanian nationalist elites. One more thing should be observed: the Albanian nationalist elites are always, almost as a rule, Muslim or ‘ex-Muslim.’ The Prizrenites were all Muslims and so was the Enverist ruling circle (Enver Hoxha, Mehmet Shehu, Qemal Stafa, Ramiz Alija, Ismail Kadare); so are the KLA. These nationalist elites have caused Albanians a lot of suffering. Zogu took up the spirit of the League of Prizren and he robbed the country; the Enverists did their damage through cultural isolation, the KLA have turned ‘free’ Kosovo into a cesspool of AIDS and prostitution.

Fatos Lubonja, another insider into the Albanian academic scene, describes how elements of Skenderbeg’s biography were manipulated by the Albanian nationalist elites:

Lubonja says that the central figure around whom the mythology of Albanian national romanticism was created is Skenderbeg.

First it is important to mention that the historical construct under discussion is the myth of ‘continuous resistance.’ It is also the myth of ‘religious indifference’ embodied in such false mottos, as ‘The religion of the Albanians is Albanianism’ that is in question. What kind of people approaches their ethnicity with the same blind faith that one would approach religion? Dangerous people who cannot be reasoned with. This famous Albanian motto implies a fanatical understanding of themselves as an ethnic group. Any ethnic group that has something like that as its national motto is immune from introspection and higher thought. This is something that every Albanian should devote a lot of thought to. Part 3 will be devoted to this myth of ‘religious indifference.’

We return to Lubonja for more insight:

Aside from showing that Skenderbeg was opportunistically selected as the main Albanian hero, Lubonja also says that Albanians cannot tell reality from fantasy, truth from myth. Not only because the nationalist elites have lied to them but because these elites have imposed rigid paradigms like ‘the religion of the Albanians is Albaniansm.’ – these paradigms naturally create mechanisms in the Albanian mind that instinctively inhibit objective thought. What else are these mechanisms supposed to do? Nothing. If your ethnicity is your religion, you cannot approach it objectively. It is a specifically Albanian problem. No other ethnic group, including the Serbs, has this kind of motto; thus no other nation is hampered by the paradigms and mechanisms that come with it. Thus no other nation is prone to these kinds of criticisms.

What started out as a convenient lie to unify a divided population worked – but it carried with it the price of stifling clear thinking because it necessarily meant assimilating a lie. This motto lie laid the foundations for Enver’s North-Korea style isolationism. It worked in Albania whereas it never would have worked anywhere else in Europe after WWII because Albanians believed lies long before Enver came along. Lubonja says: “Every Albanian educated in the Albanian schools after 1912, if asked about his country would recount these fundamental myths without being able to distinguish legend from history.” In Part 1, Lubonja, Misha and other scholars showed that the lies go all the way back to Prizren, 1878.

With regard to Skenderbeg, Albanians have another problem besides being unable tell reality from fantasy, truth from myth. Serbophobia is the origin of contemporary Albanian nationalism. Skenderbeg betrayed the Turks at the battle of Nis. Rather than attack the Christian Serbs, Skenderbeg had a change of heart in Serbia. Below, Fatos Lubonja describes how the ex-Muslim elites tried to reconcile the myth they had created about Skenderbeg with the Albanians’ religious and political reality…

Even after reading the entire book, Albanian Identities: Myth and History including all parts dealing with Skenderbeg, the reader still doesn’t know exactly what parts of the Albanian image of Skenderbeg is really myth. The authors are vague in this book but they nevertheless inform us with facts from which we may conveniently proceed into the final half of this presentation. At one point, Lubonja correctly mentions that Skenderbeg never liberated all Albanian lands because his attempt to liberate Berat failed. Lubonja also observed that Skenderbeg’s domain never included Kosovo. This probably implies that there were few Albanians in Kosovo in his time. Skenderbeg also never fought the Serbs. In fact, as mentioned above, he betrayed the Turks rather than participate in the slaughter and occupation of the Serbian of Nis.

We turn again to Lubonja, this time from an interview he did with the right wing, Muslim Sarajevo daily Dani:

Clearly, it seems that stating that Skenderbeg is anything but Albanian is dangerous. It is well known that Skenderbeg’s mother was Vojislava was the daughter of the Serb ruler of Polog. But this does not make Skenderbeg Serbian.

What does make Skenderbeg Serbian is the work of over a dozen West European genealogists one whom is a descendant of Skenderbeg and a bearer of both of his last names; he is Nobile Loris Castriota-Skenderbegh.

This is the most complete genealogy of the Kastriota’s that has ever been put together. According to this genealogy:

a) Skenderbeg is the great grandson of Branilo, the Serb duke of Kastoria.
b) Skenderbeg’s brother was named Stanisa, a contemporary Serbian name.
c) Stanisa’s son (Skenderbeg’s nephew) was also named Branilo.
d) Skenderbeg’s mother was Vojislava daughter of the Serb ruler of Polog
e) Skenderbeg’s sisters Valica and Jela mean ‘little wave’ and ‘dear’ in Serbian. Branilo and Stanisa are both Serbian names meaning ‘defender’ and ‘the one who stands,’ respectively. Note that neither Branilo, Stanisa, Valica nor Jela exist as Bulgarian names.

[quote] Branilo (+ assassinato a Jannina nel 1379 circa), di origine serba, Governatore di Jannina nel 1368. Sposa N.N.

B2. Stanisha (+ ante 1450)

= Despina, figlia di Musachi Comneno

C2. Branilo detto Bernardo (+ 1463), da prima musulmano diviene cristiano nel 1443, Conte di Mat nel

It is remarkable that Pagan Serbian names persisted in the Kastriota family into the fourth generation. Skenderbeg brother Stanisa named his own son Branilo. Such inter-generational use of Pagan Serbian names suggests a preservation of a Serb identity. Much in the same way that religious Jews give their children distinctly Hebrew names like Herschel, Shmooley, Menachem, Yehuda and so forth so that they never forget their ancestry and identity. The reader should also note: the names being pointed out in the genealogy are Pagan Serbian names that could never have been diffused into Albanian culture through Christianity because the Serbs practiced Orthodox Christianity, which could never have diffused to Albanian Catholics. Also, Albanian Orthodoxy was always under Byzantine-Greek jurisdiction and concentrated in the south of Albania, furthest away from any potential and unlikely Serbian/Christian cultural diffusion.

Now we can give the comments made by Albanians Pirro Misha and Fatos Lubonja more substance and clarity. Regarding this genealogy, historically speaking, there is no document of comparable magnitude. Not only did more than a dozen professional genealogists compile it but it also has the backing of a direct descendant of Skenderbeg himself. Even the objective Albanian reader would be in a dilemma. The reason why Albanians converted to Islam (70%) very quickly after Skenderbeg died is because he wasn’t an Albanian. And yet, contrast that to how Albanians are willing to claim Obilic on 1/100 of the quality of evidence that this genealogy is worth.

Some of the Arberesh still apparently remember that Skenderbeg was a Serb. We know for a fact that his descendants do as well. Since the likelihood if this genealogy being a Serbian conspiracy is zero, the objective reader would have to concede that the genealogy is remarkably objective. If the genealogy said that Skenderbeg was an Albanian, would any Albanian still contest it then? Most likely: not. That one, single, unavoidable fact speaks volumes.

Greater Albania and neo-Enverism have to go. So does Skenderbeg. It is in the interest of Albanians to transfer their loyalty accordingly. In the Middle Ages, Albanians were led to greatness by a Serb nobleman, whose true life few Albanians really know or want to hear about or can even bare to accept. In a sense, losing Skenderbeg IS the end of the world. But it could also be the re-birth of a world that existed 600 years ago. Regardless of how Albanians may want to deal with or accept the Truth about Skenderbeg – it is still the Truth.

In Albania, a prince of Serb origin, George Kastriotovoitch Skenderbeg, fought the Turks with great valour as the prince of Albania.

QUOTE #2:

“…in the time of national awakening for the Albanians – Skenderbeg was as much of a Serb as he was an Albanian…in him there was much Serb blood. His mother Vojislava was a Serb princess and the names of most of Skenderbeg’s sisters were Serb…
Mara
Jela
Angelina
Vlajica
and his brothers were:
Stanisa
Konstantin
Skenderbeg’s sister Mara was married to Stefan Crnojevic, lord of Zeta, who with the Zetans helped Skenderbeg for 24 years in the wars against the Turks. According to the Catholic priest of Shkodra Marin Barleci, the Turks unearhed Skenderbeg’s remains and distributed them amongst themsleves ‘as souveniers’.

QUOTE #4:

The Catholic Albanian priest Marini Barleci says that Skenderbeg wore Serb clothing and wrote in ‘Serb letters and Italian language’ because the illiterate Albanians at that time could only write in Greek or Serb just as Skenderbeg “carried all discussions in the Serb language”.

“Skenderbeg, a personally brave man was of Serb descent and was so useful, that he was respected by the Albanians, as well. He was the son of Ivan Kastrioti. His mother was Vojislava, daughter of the Prince of Polog”

The only book about Skenderbeg written by an Albanian before the World War I was written by Catholic Albanian priest Marin Barleci who is quoted by Paul Rovinski. As shown above – even M. Barleci an Albanian designates Skenderbeg a a Serb and not an Albanian at all.

I created this blog in order to counter the negative propaganda being spread against my homeland on a daily basis. As I write, anti-Serbian forces in the West and European Union are working to destory Serbia’s cultural legacy and to turn our glorious homeland into a bastion of their sick neo-liberal views.

I also cretaed this blog a source for which to post various articles regarding Serbian history and the “Greater Serbian” philosophy. I have created a site entitled the Serbian National Front. Here, one can find various documents and information regarding the Greater serbian concept and the state of our homeland today. Also, daily news is available on the site as well as a wide array of downloads and texts.

This website is dedicated to preserving the cultural, religious, and historical sanctity of our glorious fatherland through patriotism and love for our nation. Today, the Serbian nation is being oppressed by the West and the Great Powers. The west is commited to destroying the Serbian way of life and our nationalist mindset. However, we as serbs, united and strong, whether it be in the fields of Kosovo or the trenches in World War I, must rise up and fight for our nation and fight for our freedom. No longer should Serbs live under foreign domination without even the basic rights of cultural autonomy. No longer should Serbs be forced from their homes by those who seek to detsroy us. It is time. For God and the Motherland!

Stay Serbian and stay proud! We shall prevail!
