From: Shebar Windstonewhere DraganDabic.com is concerned, I think you’ve been had.
The front (& only) page on DraganDabic.com was last modified Tuesday, July 22, 2008 3:25:55 PM, & none of the images there cannot be found in post-arrest coverage. Other post-arrest websites purporting to be done by Dabic/Karadzic are going up at http://dabic.blogspot.com/ & elsewhere. The amazing thing is that if you google for “Dragan Dabic” right now, you’ll get “about 25,700″ hits — & almost all of those are content that’s gone online in the last 24-some hours. Try to separate the wheat from the chaff!

Dr. Dragan “David” Dabic was born some six decades ago in a small Serbian village of Kovaci, near Kraljevo. As a young boy he liked to explore nearby forests and mountains, spending a lot of time on Kopaonik mountain where he tended to pick the omnipresent, natural and potent medicinal herbs that grew at those green pastures. As a young man he moved to Belgrade, and then on to Moscow where he graduated with a Doctor of Medicine degree (spec. in Psychiatry) at the Moscow State University (Lomonosov). After Russia, Dr. Dabic travelled around India and Japan, after which he settled in China where he specialized in alternative medicine, with a special emphasis on the mind-body control, meditation, Yoga, spiritual cleansing, as well as Chinese herbs. In mid-1990s Dr. Dabic returned back to mother Serbia for good, and ever since then emerged as one of the most prominent experts in the field of alternative medicine, bioenergy, and macrobiotic diet in the whole of the Balkans, and is frequent contributor to the regional alternative health magazines, and guest expert with numerous TV appearances and on many public forums, seminars and symposiums (Belgrade, Novi Sad, Pancevo, Sombor, Smederevo, Kikinda…) dedicated to these issues and topics.
Dr. Dragan Dabic currently resides on Yury Gagarin street in New Belgrade, but for public forum invitations, television appearances or private consultations he can be reached directly at the following contact:

It is impossible to forget Dorando Pietri who on 2nd April 1906 triumphed at the tape of Piazza di Siena: in that spring, Villa Borghese anointed the great athlete from Carpi between lines of enthusiastic onlookers. Dorando Pietri was born on 16 October 1885 at Mandrio, a small neighbourhood of Correggio. Practically he lived all his life at Carpi, where as a youngster he began working as an errand boy in a cake shop. He also liked running on foot.
Dorando Pietri was, in every sense, a great champion. 2008 is his commemorative year. What happened on 24 July 1908 at the Olympic Games in London – number 19 on his jersey, the lead gained on his opponents in the last few kilometres of the marathon, with start at Windsor Castle, his fall just a few metres from the finish inside the White City stadium, the generous but misplaced assistance of J.M. Andrew and M.J. Bulger, his subsequent disqualification, the emotion of queen Alexandra, the regal initiative of awarding the unlucky athlete a special gold-plated silver cup, currently kept by the La Patria Club in a UniCredit Banca safe-deposit box – all this has made Dorando immortal throughout the world.
In the space of 5 and a half months, from 25 November 1908 to 9 May 1909, Dorando took part in 22 races over distances between 10 miles and the marathon, winning 17. He was so popular, that they also invited him to South America and on 24 May 1910, at Buenos Aires, Pietri ran the last race of his career, which was also his fastest: 2h38′48″2.

The Radiohead are very sensible to innnovation technology, after releasing ( but now it’s no more possible…) the last album called In Rainbow with an offer from their website, they’ve realised a new music video for Radiohead’s song “House Of Cards“, of which the images were generated without cameras or film, but with 3 different real-time 3D laser scanners that are normally used to capture geometrical terrains & objects.
And here you’ve the making of this video.

Radovan Karadzic, the poet of Serbian war crimes, one of the two most wanted criminals in the Balkans, the guy with fluffy locks, was captured last night in Belgrade, Serbia.
According to the first rumors, he was found in my own neighborhood, where he supposedly frequented in a popular right-wing restaurant where people from NGOs were unwelcome.
Karadzic is currently held in the special court for war crimes in Belgrade, and is about to be extradited to the international war crime tribunal in The Hague. Slobodan Milosevic preceeded him in this same course some years ago.
To judge by the chatter on my B92 blog and the phone messages I get from my friends: as I long suspected, “Europe’s Osama bin Laden” and I have been neighbors. We shared the same food, saw the same beggars in downtown Belgrade where he had been hiding all these years, a genocidal butcher disguised as a New Age quack.
A journalist who lives close to me sent me an sms: Karadzic must have been drinking beer with our gypsy neighbor in the street. As we all suspected, or as some of us surely knew: Karadzic was hiding from justice behind our names and our daily lives, using the Serbian population as his living shields.
The new Pro-European government in Serbia had to split with that covert policy. Thus do the democrats reward the long-suffering voters who gave them the lead against their nationalist rivals. Even the ex-Milosevic Socialist party seems to be in on the deal.
Radovan Karadzic, poet, psychiatrist and planetary war criminal number one, effectively vanished in 1996. His General, Ratko Mladic, is still on the run. Karadzic and Mladic were the architect and the builder of the genocide in Srebrenica, where 8 000 men and boys were killed in three days.
Last night the long-missing fugitive was formally interrogated in the special tribunal for war crimes in Belgrade. This is the same court where, two years ago, I followed the trial of the paramilitary group the Scorpions, participants in the genocide in Srebrenica. Karadzic’ s name was often mentioned by the Scorpions with hushed reverence.
A couple of months before the Scorpions were arrested in 2005, police burst in the house of the Karadzic family, briefly arresting his son. On this occasion his wife publicly asked her husband to give himself up for justice. The myth around his dark character was that he would never give himself alive, but die a suicidal martyr for the sake of his family and the cause of the Bosnian Serbs.
Karadzic never lacked for supporters. Shouting groups of right-winged hooligans spent the night outside the war crimes court, chanting his name and demanding that Boris Tadic, the President, commit suicide and therefore save Serbia. The militants were supervised by a heavy police presence and the crowd soon broke up.
International politicians such as Richard Holbrooke are congratulating the Serbian government for this important action, delayed and obstructed all these years. Men resembling Karadzic have often reported in various parts of Serbia and Bosnia, and various allegedly accomplices were brought to court for aiding and abetting both Karadzic and Mladic. It was obvious that they were both protected by powerful local allies, and it is presumed that Karadzic was arrested yesterday thanks to the betrayal of some insider. There is still an outstanding American bounty of 5 million dollars for the arrest of either Karadzic or Mladic ; for twelve years the tempting hoard of cash was never claimed by anyone.
Karadzic is defending himself with silence — but not a complete silence. He has claimed that his arrest was a “farce,” and that he was detained three days ago by masked men, and kept prisoner in a small cell.
In a morning press conference more details were revealed by Rasim Ljajic, a Serbian government official responsible for cooperation with The Hague. According to Ljajic, Radovan Karadzic, who is officially a Bosnian, has been living in Belgrade as a Serbian citizen, under false identity, and with a new name — “Dragan Dabic.” “Dr. Dabic” has been working as a doctor of “alternative medicine” in a private clinic.
Thin, bespectacled, balding and heavily bearded, Dr Dabic was moving freely in Belgrade. Workers at the clinic deny they knew his real identity. He seems to have been shadowed and arrested while trying to change apartments.
The world is in deadly earnest about Radovan’s “farce,” as congratulations pour in for President Tadic, the police and the Serbian justice system. The Hague will never be popular in Serbia, especially when Bosnian alleged war criminal Naser Oric was released despite attacks on Serbs. In the shattered ruins of Yugoslavia there will never be a neat equalizing of the blame, but this event is a giant step toward a living role for a peaceful, democratic Serbia within a modern Europe.
