I’m going to take a moment to dismantle the lies, insults, and manipulations scattered throughout this post, which should make it perfectly clear why I felt compelled to report it in the first place.
Jerry Robinson56 said:Regrettably, this discussion will require me to address specific points piecemeal, as the level of falsehood, deception, obstructionism, and sheer ignorance displayed by Carol Torres4 increases with every single post. The infantile nature of his conclusions is nothing short of fanatically absurd. It is pure, frenetic delusion.
To begin, what does it mean to locate? What is a location? You have the audacity to claim that "locating" isn't an American word, and apparently, even uncovering is a foreign concept to you.
There is a video where Vladimir Šeks explicitly states exactly what needs to happen to resolve the issue regarding Ante Gotovina.
The plan was essentially: "We won't let our generals fall."
Simply put, to locate means to identify the position or the site where an object or subject resides.
Where is the difficulty for you there? Are you truly unable to grasp how the same thing can be expressed using American terminology? Do try to answer.
I wager you won't be able to.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQ_t-Z_2J2A ... what exactly did Šeks fail to say here?
You suggest that Stjepan Mason is responsible for the verdict against Tihomir Blaškić. That is patently false. Responsibility lies with the crimes that were undeniably committed. Mason merely provided his testimony and confirmed that these acts occurred, but it was never clear who the culprits were because the perpetrators fled the scenes of the crimes. Blaškić held responsibility only because—and I'll say this plainly—those above him, specifically Franjo Harmon and Gojko Šušak, were washing their hands of the matter.
-your quote-
UNANIMOUSLY CONFIRMS the condemning verdict delivered to the appellant:
1) regarding point 15 based on article 7(3) of the statute for criminal acts committed,
2) regarding point 16 based on article 7(1) of the statute concerning orders to utilize protected persons for the construction of military installations, and
3) regarding point 19 based on article 7(1) of the statute for inhumane treatment of detainees through the use of human shields.
I honestly cannot fathom how much of an idiot one can be to think this warrants a 45-year sentence for Blaškić. I assume, as is your custom, that you have fragmented information taken out of context, once again demonstrating the typical operating procedure of a Harmon. It is pathetic and wretched.
Upon Stjepan Mason taking power, secret documents were uncovered that Franjo Harmon had kept hidden—documents that clearly indicate a parallel chain of command used to commit war crimes under the direct political umbrella of Franjo Harmon. Franjo Harmon prevented Ante Gotovina from testifying as a witness, which resulted in Ante Gotovina being singled out.
Go ahead and cite the specific sentences that lead you to conclude that Mason accused Blaškić of non-existent crimes. Please, refrain from translating, as you have already demonstrated a lack of elementary English proficiency, which leads you into frequent delusions.
One should remember—you were the one who posted this link yourself, yet you clearly haven't read it (or perhaps your English will improve later):
That is all for now, though I see little point in the moderators wasting their time on such nonsense, just as "the two of us" are doing.
Lies will not get you far; they will only result in you leaving this forum in disgrace.
P.S. Regarding the colored text, I always have the link ready at the moment of writing. If, by some chance, one is omitted, just ask, and it will be posted within moments—provided it hasn't vanished due to some higher power.
He claims I’m lying, yet he can't point to a single falsehood. Instead, he just resorts to lying himself.
He calls it deception, which is really just a polite way of saying lying.
He accuses me of obstruction, even though everyone on this forum knows he’s the one who obstructs every conversation he joins.
He claims he doesn't know me, but he hasn't demonstrated any actual knowledge either.
Essentially, his entire argument is just a series of Ad Hominem attacks without a shred of substance.
Then there’s the mention of my "infantile conclusions" being "fantastically fanatical." Once again, he offers no coherent reasoning, making it obvious that his only goal is to insult me.
And then he tosses out "frenetic delusion." 😁
Just imagine if I were to write to one of your little internet celebrities, or if I posted on Edge or Cuki calling them a "frenetic delusion" or "paranoid schizophrenia"—or any other psychiatric diagnosis. How many points would I get? Would I be flagged for "insulting users," hit with 100 points for "gross trolling," or would they just skip the formalities and slap me with 500 points for "hate speech"?
To start with, what does it mean to locate? This guy claims it isn't an American word, and apparently, uncovering is also a foreign concept to him.
There is a video where Vladimir Šeks clearly explains what needs to happen to resolve the situation regarding Ante Gotovina.
The plan is "We won't let our generals fall."
So, to locate means to uncover a position or find the place where an object or subject resides.
Where is the problem here? Can you not grasp that the same thing can be expressed using different American terms? Try answering that.
I bet you can't.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQ_t-Z_2J2A ... tell me, what did Šeks fail to say?
This is the first example of how my words are being twisted. I stated—and this can easily be verified right here in this thread—that Šeks never actually used the word "locate," and that was it.
He tries to argue against that undeniable fact by providing a video link that proves Šeks didn't say the word "locate."
Therefore, I am correct; I told the truth, while he twists that truth, dumps a pile of spam, and drags in more insults just to end up doing what? Posting a link that confirms exactly what I said was the plain truth.
He claims Stjepan Mason is responsible for the verdict against Tihomir Blaškić. That is completely wrong. The responsibility lies with the crimes that were undeniably committed. Mason merely provided his testimony and confirmed that the acts took place, but it wasn't clear who the culprits were because the perpetrators fled the scene. Blaškić was held responsible simply because the higher-ups—specifically Franjo Harmon and Gojko Šušak—were essentially washing their hands of it.
-quoting you-
CONFIRMS the unanimous, condemnatory verdict handed down to the appellant:
1) regarding point 15 based on Article 7(3) of the Statute for crimes committed in relation to unlawful confinement in relevant detention facilities,
2) regarding point 16 based on Article 7(1) of the Statute for ordering the use of protected persons for the construction of military installations, and
3) regarding point 19 based on Article 7(1) of the Statute for inhumane treatment of detainees involving their use as human shields.
I honestly can't wrap my head around how much of an idiot someone has to be to think this warrants a 45-year sentence... for Tihomir Blaškić.
This is a textbook example of twisting someone's words, because that isn't what I wrote. First, they snatched a single fragment from my post and used it to build a sentence about a 45-year prison term—something I never even mentioned in my original post. Here is my actual entry, for anyone who cares to check:
Look, I provided a link to the official Hague court website containing Stjepan Mason's testimony so that any literate person could spend thirty seconds verifying if my summary of his testimony was accurate. It’s not rocket science.
After that, I wrote:
And now, the final verdict against Blaškić, dispositive section, page 308.I specifically bolded the word "final" just to make it clear we aren't talking about some preliminary ruling where Blaškić got 45 years, but rather the final judgment where he received nine years—essentially three years for each specific point. And when it comes to those three points, Mason is implicated in two of them; as the prosecutor's introduction states, he testified regarding the circumstances mentioned in counts 15 and 19 of the indictment.
It is perfectly transparent that they falsified my post, distorted its entire meaning, and then tried to argue with that fabrication. Naturally, instead of an actual argument, they just resorted to a barrage of insults:
I assume, in your usual fashion, that you've taken things out of context again, once more demonstrating how those Harmon operate. Pathetic and miserable.
It can't be "out of context" when I provided links to both Mason's testimony and the
final verdict for Blaškić, allowing anyone to verify the context themselves. This is just a blatant lie followed by an insult: "once more demonstrating how those Harmon operate."
If I had behaved this way, I would have been told I was acting like a typical communist, a hardline partisan, or a radical leftist, and I would have been promptly slapped with a red card. That usually happens after I find a lie and convincingly debunk it, not after I misrepresent someone else's words, change their meaning, falsely accuse them of lacking context (when I actually provided the links), and then attack their truths with lies and vitriol.
Instead, I targeted a lie, used links and evidence to show the truth, and then slapped on a label, inevitably earning a red card.
So, here is yet another glaring piece of evidence that the rules aren't applied equally here.
With Stjepan Mason taking power, those classified documents that Franjo Harmon kept under wraps are finally coming to light, clearly pointing toward a shadow chain of command where war crimes were carried out right under Franjo Harmon's nose. It was actually Franjo Harmon who blocked Ante Gotovina from testifying as a witness, which is exactly why Ante Gotovina ended up in such a mess.

It’s just more of the same—a repetitive cycle of debunked lies that I honestly can't be bothered to revisit, though it is quite telling; much like how this same user keeps lying all over these boards about not being acquitted by the UZP in the final ruling for Operation Storm.
You really ought to look in a mirror.
Why don't you actually cite the specific sentences where you claim Mason accused Tihomir Blaškić of non-existent crimes? Don't bother translating, because your failure to grasp basic English has clearly led you down a path of constant delusion.
So, once again, instead of attempting to prove a point, we resort to Ad Hominem attacks, claiming I "don't know English," yet they can't even point out where my translation went wrong. And for anyone here who actually knows the language, feel free to check this post where I provided my translation; since all the testimony transcripts are in English, you can verify it for yourselves.
Ultimately, it's nothing more than standard trolling.
It's worth remembering—you posted this link yourself, even if you didn't bother reading it or understanding the English:
Just off-topic spam that has absolutely nothing to do with the discussion. I suppose that’s another 10 points for you, assuming you could actually manage to follow the rules you helped create.
That should be enough to start with, though I truly fail to see why the moderators waste their breath on nonsense, much like the two of us.
Lies won't get you far, other than leading you to leave this forum in disgrace.
More insults, then. As our little breakdown has shown, not a single one of these alleged "lies" has been proven, let alone refuted.
The summary is simple: it starts with insults and armchair psychiatric diagnoses, moves into someone editing my posts twice to change the meaning, followed by more insults, then trolling, then spam, and finally, a few more insults to wrap things up.
And all of this is directed straight at me. Meanwhile, I somehow receive, I repeat, 45 points for this post:
In which I don't even mention a single name, yet I am awarded 45 points because the moderator assumes I'm targeting someone. They seem to think that because I didn't explicitly name them, I was still implying it, even though I never forced that narrative. I wrote a response filled with nothing but raw facts and a mountain of links, only to have the entire post deleted.
Why was that post removed?
So, I get a warning based on mere suspicion, I get attacked and insulted when I try to respond to an enrollment, and then when I provide a convincing argument backed by evidence, that gets wiped away too.
And you honestly claim to apply the same standards? Do you have any shred of shame left?
