Vulin's lies about Zdravko Ponoš have only one goal. And that is the regime's attempt to establish control over the future by controlling its own ugly past. Hence all that servitude to the people and violence against common sense
The deputy prime minister in charge of laying a wreath on Stalin's grave, conspiracy theories and "Serbian world" attacked the leader of Serbia Center, General Zdravko Ponoš, for wearing a uniform without participating in the war...
Why the comment about another Vulin's blunder, the reader must be wondering. Hasn't it been proven a long time ago that this man lacks the ability to say anything coherent and true?
The reader would be correct that Vulin does not embody revisions of our recent history. It is easy to establish that Ponoš participated in the war at his place of formation in anti-electronic operations and similar highly specialized activities. Anyone who is interested can easily check the biography of the former Chief of the General Staff of the Serbian Armed Forces. She also explains why Ponoš was appointed to the highest position in the army.
The thing with Vulin is diametrically opposite. While shots were fired in Slovenia, Croatia, Krajina, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo and Serbia, the then general secretary of JUL whistled the songs of Žonij Štulic and twiddling his thumbs. No one knows, but if he had been threatened by the possibility of actually smelling war, it is quite possible that he would have joined the Women in Black or - where and how more likely - set fire across the border. Of course, there was no such danger for Vulin. He adhered to the maxim - better alive and healthy with the curts of Mira Marković, than dead or crippled like Mladić's soldier.
And then came peace, the "previous authorities" and the warrior's blood boiled in Vulin. In the series "Bombardment" produced by Vreme film and broadcast on RTS, dead-cold lied to the camera that in 1999 he signed up as a volunteer, but that he was rejected because the army needed members of the PVO, and he, well , an infantryman. When rumors broke that he had not even served in the army, he went for a high dioptre. However, she did not mind him serving his fifteen-day "debt to the state" as the Minister of Defense at the age of forty-seven...
The public has known all this about Ponoš and Vulin for a long time. Why, despite everything, does the regime continue with lies?
The answer is simple: to cover up the ugly past and seize other people's merits; so that it would turn out that it was not Vućić, Šešelj and Sloba Milošević who incited the war, but Lazović, Ponoš, Đilas and Miki Aleksić; in order to remove any argument from the public space; so that they would present their rush from defeat to defeat as a series of great victories; because they believe that by controlling the past, they will dominate the future.
In all this, Vulin comes like a laboratory mouse, constantly pushing the boundaries of lies, deception and violence against common sense. As things stand, the sky is the limit for them right now.
The regime's retaliation will be dire if the resistance falters. Now they want to imprison the people who talked about overthrowing the government because they were supposedly overthrowing the state. But the state was hijacked and overthrown by the regime a long time ago
The Ministry of Public Investment submitted a request for a building permit for the construction of a new building for the Belgrade Philharmonic. Given that it is known that the project is too expensive and that there is no money for it, it seems that this too is just another colorful lie
The knee-jerk Supreme Being trusts in the local elections in Kosjerić and Zaječar. It must not be forgotten that for 13 years he poured heavy poisons, especially in the province, and that detoxification is a long and painful process.
If the various opponents of Vučić's regime are unable to help the student youth, they could at least not retaliate. They have been working the same way and with the same disastrous results for too long to expect anyone to ask them anything
There are no more students ahead and us behind them. Now we are all in the same situation: we drove the beast out into the open. We know how it goes
