	Filibustering with William Walker
		William Walker, the greatest of American filibusters, was another visionary adventurer, imbued with the desire of founding a colony in Mexico, near the American border.
		Walker himself said that it was almost impossible to succeed in the venture because of the enormous difficulties encountered, such as lack of resources, ignorance concerning the country, the desert which had to be traversed, etc. Of course, there was no defense for his action.
		Walker’s reputation as a leader had gone as far as Nicaragua, where a revolution was in progress.

	the eXile - Feature Story
		That was the date on which an American diplomat named William Walker brought his OSCE war crimes verification team to a tiny Kosovar village called Racak to investigate an alleged Serb massacre of ethnic Albanian peasants.
		These stories cited a number of inconsistencies in Walker's version of events, including an absence of shell casings and blood in the trench where the bodies were found, and the absence of eyewitnesses despite the presence of journalists and observers in the town during the KLA-Serb fighting.
		The story of William Walker's involvement in the war is just one of a rapidly-growing family of tales cataloguing the incompetence and arrogance of the United States and its allies throughout the Kosovo conflict.

		Walker also sharply rejected suggestions that the Racak attack was welcomed as a propaganda coup by the United States and other NATO members pressing for military action against Yugoslavia.
		Walker said the rebel Kosovo Liberation Army was active in the Racak area, so it was "very possible" there were KLA fighters in or around the village before the Serb attack.
		Walker gave us the same kind of operations in Central America...I often wonder...do you all know there was an historic William Walker, a filibuster who was briefly President of Nicaragua I believe...he was finally captured by the British Navy and executed for starting minor wars in the region.

	Walker's Expeditions
		Walker leaped at the chance--he quickly recruited a force of fifty-six followers and landed with them in Nicaragua on May 4, 1855.
		Walker beat off the attacks of the Central Americans, but the strength and morale of his forces were declining, and it would be only a matter of time until he would be overwhelmed.
		Walker's forced exile was short-lived, however; he made four more attempts to return to Central America (in 1857, 1858, 1859, and 1860).

	William Walker: “Man With A Mission” - Covertaction.org (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		William Walker, the U.S. diplomat who first acquired notoriety in Central America in the late 1980s, is now being used to promote a seriously discredited atrocity story to justify NATO's bombing of Yugoslavia [see box]. It has been a hard sell for someone with Walker's reputation.
		Walker's Cover-Up As declassified State Department cables later showed, Walker worked diligently to cover up the real authors of the Jesuit murders, particularly Army Chief of Staff René Emilio Ponce, who was identified in the 1993 United Nations Truth Commission on El Salvador as the senior officer behind the crimes.1
		U.S. diplomat William Walker's denunciation of an alleged execution-massacre of 45 people by Yugoslav police in the Kosovo village of Racak January 15, 1999, was "a turning point" in NATO's road to war, the New York Times wrote April 18 quoting unidentified U.S. sources.

	Mr
		On January 15, 1999, a U.S. diplomat, William Walker, head of the war crimes verification team of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), visited the Kosovar village of Racak to investigate an alleged Serb massacre of ethnic Albanian peasants.
		Later, Walker recommended to Secretary of State James Baker that the U.S. "not jeopardize" its relationship with El Salvador by investigating "past deaths, however heinous." This is ironic, coming from a man who later recommended that the U.S. go to war with Yugoslavia over heinous deaths.
		There is a widespread belief that Walker's role in Racak was to assist the KLA in fabricating a Serb massacre to be used as an excuse for military action.

		For one such gentleman the dream came true: William Waldorf Astor, former ambassador to italy, moved to England and was rewarded with a barony for his largesse.

	issue
		Ambassador William Walker has something up his sleeve, but the way it is being handled indicates that it probably points to a "spontaneous act" of local indiscipline, rather than to a systematic plot.
		Walker heads the team of more than 700 unarmed monitors that the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe set up last fall to verify a cease-fire in Kosovo, a Serbian province where 90% of the population is ethnic Albanian.
		If Walker is forced to leave Kosovo, his observer mission might go with him, all but eliminating hope of averting a return to all-out war in Kosovo.

	RACAK WAS A LIE
		The following article shows that the so-called massacre at Racak in Kosovo five years ago was an invention of the U.S. "ambassador" William Walker and the imperialist media to attempt to justify the planned military attack on Yugoslavia.

		With diplomatic solutions still being explored, the generals backed up their verbal pressure today by putting NATO forces on 48-hour alert and by ordering two naval groups, including the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise, into position to carry out any military action that may emerge from the next key meeting on Kosova.

		Covert Action Quarterly on William Walker & Kosovo As most people know, Covert Action Quarterly (http://caq.com) has been one of the few voices on the left courageous enough to stand up to anti-Serb propaganda.
		The Yugoslav government appeared stunned and outraged by the charges from Walker, and insisted on autopsies for all victims, in the face of efforts to bury the dead immediately in conformity with normal Muslim practice.
		Three days after Walker's accusations, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright had come up with a new demand: NATO military occupation of all of Yugoslavia, the only Balkan country still refusing NATO bases.
