A VOICE OF BELLIGERENT CROATIA


Marko "Thompson" Perkovic, a legendary Croatian musician, a nationalist, a loyal Christian and just a good and intransigent man celebrated his 50th jubilee yesterday.

Croatian War for Independence of 1991-95, a veteran of which Thompson is, painfully reminiscent of the current war in Ukraine. Ordinary Croats took up arms and went volunteer to the front to defent the Motherland from the external enemy while the internal one in the person of local oligarchs, liberals and representatives of former communist nomenclature had been gaining power the country behind their backs. And when the invader was defeated the nationalists-war heroes from HOS had been disarmed and removed from the country's political life by new elites. 

The new authorities gladly handed over Ante Gotovina to Hague as a "war criminal;" and later local liberals said that the volunteers has allegedly been fighting not for Croatia and its people, but for LGBT parades and other cultural-marxist things. In Ukraine liberals use quite similar rethorics. Last attempt to hold a LGBT parade in Kyiv traditionally caused a storm of indignation and protests in the society. Arguing with opposers one of the "parade" supporters been so insolent to say that it is the LGBT community rights what the Ukrainian soldiers have been fighting for in the Donbass.

One of Thompson's most popular songs isn't devoted to some battle of Serbo-Croatian war, it is about a struggle against an internal enemy the veterans have faced after the war.  It is about the difference between Croatia they had been fighting for and the state, created by pro-EU liberals and former communists. Last year's events in Zagreb have clearly described the order of things, recall, in May of 2015 veterans of independence war took the streets in protest against the government's policy and were forced to barricade themselves in church because of clashes with police.  

"...brothers, hard times for us have come... tell me brothers, have we been deceived?" Marko asks a rhetorical question in his song:


They've sold all to Judah's children. Yesterday's winners are judged today... my exhausted land, is there someone, who is ready to die for you?

The overall spirit of Marko's music is reflected in his last hit - Nema Predaje. The music video touches upon a theme of the abovementioned internal enemy - underhand elites, who want to enslave us by means of financial bondage and artifical values. "It's time to prepare for a new triumph!" urges Marko.


The song has become so popular throughout Balkans. There are many positive feedback from the Serbs. "We have a similar situation" - they wrote under the video.  The worthy enemy can be respected - this ancient rule of war is understandable to everyone except communists and liberals.
