The Worst GOP Candidate In History

By Srdja Trifkovic
September 20th, 2010 • RelatedFiled Under

“Conservative” Joseph DioGuardi’s “sensational” election as the GOP Senate candidate in New York has shaken up the Republican Party, gloats the Tropoja-based Albanian Minerals President M. Mujaj in the Wall Street Journal Blog. “The American people have spoken,” this self-styled compatriot of ours is telling us. “The American way of life needs to be rebalanced. Households need to stop spending what they don’t have. Local and state governments need to slash their budgets to live off whatever tax revenues they generate [...] The American people voted for change.”

What Mr. Mujaj does not mention is that former Congressman DioGuardi is the founder and well-endowed president of the Albanian American Civic League, a lobby group for the KLA-run “independent” province of “Kosova.” This is a significant fact, crucial to the funding of his candidacy, which he curiously does not mention on his campaign website. Even more curiously, the League’s aacl.com site—full of information on DioGuardi’s KLA connections—has been mysteriously dormant for weeks. There is, nevertheless, ample evidence out there that DioGuardi and his wife have been, for years, key fundraisers and apologists for the terrorist KLA in this country. It is unsurprising that he omits this aspect of his career from his pitch to the voters of New York, but it is curious that no one has called attention to the fact thus far.

As for Tropoja, it is a town in northern Albania best known not as a hub of mining in general, or as the HQ of DioGuardi’s friend Mr. Mujaj’s Albanian Minerals in particular, but as the gruesome site of a “clinic” known as The Yellow House in which hundreds of Serb civilians kidnapped in Kosovo by the KLA in 1999 were brought to be murdered for organ harvesting. As my friend Julia Gorin wrote two and a half years ago,

For perhaps the first time in history, the mainstream media have deemed the dismemberment of Serbs newsworthy. More accurately, they have deemed newsworthy the dismemberment of the Serb and non-Serb victims of our friends, and almost all living Albanians’ great heroes, the KLA … The new information is revealed in the forthcoming book The Hunt by Carla Del Ponte, former chief prosecutor for the Hague Tribunal. A few reports, starting with—gasp—the AP (which both the International Herald Tribune and Fox News deigned to carry), Albanian trafficking in organs of killed Kosovo Serbs investigated… Del Ponte said her investigators had been informed that some 300 Serbs were killed for organ trafficking.

Del Ponte—not known as a friend of the Serbs by any token—was the first to reveal that the imprisoned Serbs were taken to a camp in Tropoja where the younger ones were picked out, and their organs were later sold abroad. Even high KLA members were involved in the operation of smuggling of organs, Del Ponte explained. She attested that her investigators and UNMIK officials were made aware that in mid-1999 the KLA moved some 300 abducted non-Albanians to Tropoja’s “yellow house” where in one room that was used as an operating theater, the surgeons were removing organs from the victims. The organs were transported by air from Tirana to clinics abroad for clients and medical institutions that paid for them. The victims left with one kidney were kept locked, and later on killed for other organs. “Other prisoners in the barrack knew what was to happen to them,” Del Ponte added.

The horrors of Tropoja and the KLA are light years away from DioGuardi’s New York State audiences and his usual sales pitch … standard fiscal conservatism, family values. No mention of the KLA anywhere, of course.

Had another Joseph, Dr. Mengele, decided to run for the U.S. Senate sixty years ago, he too would have kept quiet about certain medical pursuits, and certain political affiliations, similar in kind and moral depravity to DioGuardi’s. But he did not, wisely preferring to stay in Brasil. DioGuardi’s ability to do so today is a sad testimony on the decrepitude of the GOP and on the state of this country’s politics.

Update: What does this all mean?

In a nutshell, this is the problem with DioGuardi:

Joseph DioGuardi was one of the chief ringleaders for libeling and then bombing the Serbs back in 1999, and for persecuting the Serbs in the aftermath of the war. He has made common cause with the narcoterrorist/jihadi gang sometimes known as the KLA (though it has gone under other monickers). It may seem strange that the descendant of Albanian Christians would make common cause with the KLA. But the KLA has the money, and DioGuardi is a political prostitute who will accept anyone’s money, and support anyone’s agenda, who will get him elected.

DioGuardi’s supporter, Mr. Mujaj, who blogged in the WSJ Blog, is president of a minerals company headquartered in the town where the dead Serbs were processed for organs. Tropoja is a little town just over the Kosovo border in Albania, founded by Sali Berisha’s clan. Its Wikipedia site is only a stub. Tropoja is too small a place even to have a reported population count. As one of the most prominent citizens in such a small town, at the very least, Mujaj had to know all about the crimes that were taking place there. At the very least, he could have stopped them. He did not.

The problem with DioGuardi is not limited to Mr. Mujaj. Joseph DioGuardi’s Albanian supporters in Albania proper, in Kosovo, and in New York have access to ill-gotten money to funnel to his campaigns both past and present. Money from smuggling heroin, weapons, sex slaves, cigarettes, you name it – and maybe dead Serbs’ organs as well.

It’s all about the Benjamins. Someone needs to follow the money and follow it soon.

    DioGuardi’s father, Joseph Sr., immigrated to the United States from Greci, Italy, a town of Catholic Albanian majority. The family traces its roots to Arbëreshë: Albanians who came to Italy to avoid Ottoman persecution.[3]

    This is from Wiki. I can’t see why this guy would have any affinity

    The Albanian Sex Slave Trade

    At its heart are men from the clans of Albania, criminals who have exploited the tragic misery of their own people to gain sanctuary in Britain. They have created an entire underworld regime, financed by the rich pickings of prostitution, and their vice network is spreading fast far beyond the well-known, sleazy recesses of Soho and into favoured residential areas across London.

    It began with the Kosovo emergency in 1999. As Britain and its Nato partners went to war with Serbia to save Kosovar Albanians from repression and atrocity, thousands poured into Britain seeking asylum. Among them were Albanians who, in truth, had nothing to fear from the regime in Belgrade across the Yugoslav border but who saw a lucrative opportunity.

    They masqueraded as victims of the Kosovo crisis to gain entry to Britain and, once here, they began to organise. Pre-eminent among them were men from the clans based in the northern cities of Tropoja and Shkodra – areas of Albania where banditry has flourished for centuries. As ethnic Albanian communities formed in east and south-east London, the northern suburbs and Luton, these men formed a nexus of pimps, traffickers and enforcers.

    Principal among them is a former Albanian policeman who has been granted asylum here and who lives in east London. His name cannot be revealed for legal reasons but he is known widely in ethnic Albanian circles as a wealthy and powerful figure. This man, Bledi – not his real name – has contacts across Europe reaching into the ranks of the Mafia groups that control crime in the former Soviet countries, including Russia.

    Through these contacts, Bledi purchases women. They may come from the impoverished cities of Russia, the Baltic states, Romania, Moldova or the Balkans.

I know there are people who call their grandmothers maw maw. I never did. But I m sure some people not in the South do that as well. grrrrrrr

    They do it because they desperately need any justification to fixate upon that they can pretend makes them better more valuable persons.

    No offense, because I hope you know I like you, but I live in Knoxville, where the serial killer “Zoo Man” Huskey killed like seven prostitutes basically because they were there. Not only was I not involved, but I support the death penalty for the fucker. The Prosecutor fucked up, and dude walked. Not because Knoxvillians like serial killers who slaughter prostitutes, but because of the stringancy of the requirements on prosecutors in the US. Maybe I’ve missed something, but I don’t see the connection.

    Morris discussing O’Donnell

    Although Republican Christine O’Donnell trails her opponent Chris Coons by about 15 points in the polls, she can still pull it out, Morris says.

    She’s been unfairly vilified, just as Sarah Palin was when she first went national, he says. Most of the shots are trivial.

    “Who cares what her view about personal sexual morality is and whether in high school she had friends who dabbled in witchcraft?” Morris said. “We have a president who admits to cocaine use in high school. We had a first lady who had séances in the White House” (Nancy Reagan).

    On the core issues, Delaware voters side with O’Donnell. “Chris Coons was a self-described Marxist as a kid. I’d rather be a witch than a Marxist,” Morris said.

    Some excellent insights on the servile, obsequious, degrading plight of the Rayahs under Osmanli domination (this includes not only Slavs and Latins and Greeks and Jews and even Germans but also Albanian Christians, of course)…

    Under Amurath’s system the Ottoman army was maintained in two ways. First, there was a standing army, small indeed, but thoroughly efficient, paid out of the imperial revenues ; secondly, there was a militia, or reserve army, consisting of:

    (1) The contingent of spahis, or cavalry, which the feudatories were required to furnish in time of war. The poorer feudatories generally implemented their obligation by serving in person. The richer found substitutes.

    (2) The unembodied portion of the janizaries, paid out of the taxes of the province in which they resided. They were in moat cases engaged in trade, and according to Ranke, came to be “the richest and most influential class in the country.”

    Thus the feudatories and the rich traders held the whole military control of the provinces in their hands. They formed the ruling caste, supported by the taxes: the ” rayahs ” were the subject class, earning and paying the taxes out of which the former were paid.

    It was difficult for the rayahs to submit to such a position; but we have not yet described the full extent of the tyranny which they had to endure.

    If the revenue had been fairly and economically collected, the taxes, though heavy in comparison with those of most other countries, would have been easy enough to pay. But the whole system under which the revenue was collected was rotten. It has been thus described: “The pasha was invested with full powers of absolute government within his province. All power was united in his person ; he was the chief of both the military and the financial departments, of the police, and of criminal justice; he had the power of life and death, of making peace and war; in short, of doing what he pleased, so long as he could purchase and secure the favour of the Sultan and bis ministers. The provinces were, indeed, sold to the highest bidder, and the successful candidate was sent to his province with full powers to make the people disgorge as much of their money as force and cunning could squeeze out of them. The Porte received the stipulated sum from its nominee, without inquiring how it was procured ; and to snch a pitch was the tyranny of the pashas carried, that many districts offered the Sultan to pay directly into his treasury more than three times the nominal sum demanded of them as taxes, provided the money might be collected by an officer totally distinct from the pasha.”

    Add to this the intolerable state of social degradation in which the rayahs were kept, and with this we shall conclude our account of the provincial rule of the Turks. We shall be indebted to Banke for an outline of it:

    ” The Turks in the country,” he says—” not only those of distinction, but others of lower rank who had gradually assembled around them— considered themselves the masters of the rayahs.

    ” The personal treatment of Christians was most oppressive: no Servian dared to ride into a town on horseback : he was only allowed to appear on foot; and he was bound to render personal service to any Turk who might demand it. When meeting a Turk on the road, it was his duty to halt, and make way for him; and if he happened to carry small arms in defence against robbers, he was obliged to conceal them. To suffer injuries was his duty; to resent them was deemed a crime worthy of punishment.”

    Ex uno disce omnes. The rayahs of Servia proper, were treated just as those of the other Slavonic provinces of Turkey were treated. Is it to be wondered at that revolts should take place under such a government ?

    In 1714 the Turks entered upon a war with Venice, the object of which was the re-conquest of the Morea, which had been guaranteed to that republic by the peace of Carlowitz in 1699. The Emperor Charles VI. as a guarantor of the treaty of Carlowitz, took part with the Venetians, and in the war which ensued Prince Eugene defeated the Turks at Peterwaradein and Belgrade in 1716 and 1717 respectively. On July 21, 1718, hostilities were terminated by the treaty of Passarowitz.

    Under that treaty Servia, including Belgrade, the banat of Temeswar, and parts of Wallachia and Croatia were ceded to Austria; and the unhappy rayahs were released from the bondage under which they had so long suffered. They were no longer forced to serve
    in the army, and every encouragement was given them to devote themselves to agricultural industry. The tyranny and extortion of the spahis disappeared, and the rayah was no longer a ” weaponless slave.” Unfortunately the duration of Austrian power was but brief, for Servia reverted to Turkey in 1739 by the peace of Belgrade. It is said that when the Turkish officers took possession of the country they were thunder-struck to find the rayahs converted into a disciplined soldiery. ” Neighbours !” cried one of them, as he witnessed the military evolutions of a fully equipped troop of Servians who had garrisoned one of the fortresses delivered up, ” what have you made of our rayahs ?”

    The Turks ruled their recovered provinces with more severity than ever. The declining power of the Sultans was becoming too weak to have any effective control over the provincial pashas, the spahis, and the janizaries. They do not seem to have been unwilling to remedy abuses and introduce reforms, but their attempts to interfere with what the ruling military caste regarded as their “right divine to govern wrong” only issued in revolts among the troops. hesitated to take the step which should link their fortunes with the Irish Church, many men of no training, and imperfectly educated, had no such scruples. To blame the Irish bishops for admitting such men is simple nonsense. wise, able, and devoted men constituted the Episcopal Bench at the time of disestablishment, and all that could be done to guide the Church through a crisis of momentous importance they did; but posts were -vacant, rectors were urgent; no man could possibly tell how matters would turn out with regard to the future of the Church.

    @ doriangrey:

    I have more…

    Cringe at this Islamophobic polemic penned in 1922…

    In August, 1919, I returned to the Near East. For 500 years that land has been under the Turk. What have these years brought forth? Where once there rose great marble cities, with shining cathedrals, schools, and universities, and fine roads, one visits to-day a land of mud villages, wretched roads, and utter lack of those signs which indicate progress. The Turk has not made a single contribution to the human race in the line of culture, no scientific discovery, no beautiful picture, no poem.

    For nearly 500 years the Christians of the Near East have paid their tax in children. For centuries a Turkish commission visited the Christian towns and villages, the children were brought out, and the commission took those whom they desired. The boys were brought up to fight in the Turkish army.

    During those 500 years there has not been a single period of 25 years free from some cruel massacre of Christian subjects by the Turks. There is no word in the Turkish language for citizen, no word for citizenship, no word for community. There are scores of words for slave, subject, servant, and the like, and the Christian subjects of the Turk are everywhere called rayah, slave.

    Smyrna is not the first city the Turks have burned. I know of no record of any city having been captured by the Turks, in which a large Christian population was found, where massacre and fire did not follow. And all the world knew of these unspeakable atrocities, and this ruthless rule of oppression, by the lives sacrificed.

    I don’t get it why people keep demonizing the South. They sound really stupid because they don’t know what the ell they are talking about. Plus that can get your a**** whupped. I know there are people who call their grandmothers maw maw. I never did. But I m sure some people not in the South do that as well. grrrrrrr

    The same people demonize the American South and demonize the Serbs. Why? Because the Southerners and the Serbs are both Christian. That’s why.

    @ Iron Fist:
    The requirements for prosecuting a criminal under US law, and the requirements for deciding whether or not to support someone for election to the US Senate, are very different.

    I am not talking about prosecuting DioGuardi for anything under US law; only about his unfitness for the US Senate based on his support of the KLA and the types of people who support him.
