USA Africa Dialogue Series - History Compels a Wake Up. Rebels did not; Nato bombed Gaddafi's home 64 times

Hello All:
 
Euphoric emotions aside, no army can fight back in an uneven situation where bombs are raining from the skies and targeting them. It was only after NATO destroyed Gaddafi's house with 64 massive bombing that the rebels came. How was it possible that they could have independently advanced and captured the residence when 64 bombs were falling? Please, use your senses.
 
How can a sovereign nation be carried to freedom on the backs of external conquerors? Another sorry chapter in the annals of African history is ripe with layers of deceptions. What makes it sad is that the African nation with the highest standard of living has been razed to the grounds with bombs not from Libyans seeking freedom but from Western powers exercising geo-economic leverage and looking for military bases. Is that freedom?   What is the cost/benefit to Libyans and the ripple effects on Africa?
 
We all love democracy; a from that departs from the nominal independence as client states becoming of  lackey members of Francophonie  and Commonwealth. We have arrived! Happy clowns.
 
African people, even if you hate Gaddafi, what the supper powers are doing to their supper foe in Africa is just not right. Chills used to run down my spin when I research African history and the barbaric colonialists' wiles that were used to undermine and destroy African civilizations,which were far more advance than Europe's. Timbuktu, Benin and Songhai empires, Kano, I can go on. Your ancestors were told that their languages and ways were primitive.  Revenues from your lands were taken and compliant leaders were paid pittance from their own resources.  Those who resisted were deposed and the colonial masters found a willing replacement. Any functional difference with the NATO-led rebels?
 
In a funnier case, in 1953, Britain deposed and exiled the King of Buganda, Mutesa 11,  from Uganda (his own country) to Britain (the colonial country) Why? He challenged British rule and sought independence. This was  considered treason and disobedience against her Majesty the Queen according to the 1900 Buganda Agreement. The King of Buganda was not an  illiterate, he was Cambridge educated. But they expected him to read and consume that bullshit. However, Baganda fought back with massive protests and he was restored in 1955.
 
People those of you who say you have learnt book very intelligently and passing all exams, I  thought Africa needs bread, not bombs; economic integration to compete in balance of trade and payments, not militarized exemplars? The foreign companies descending in Libya would not be banking there. What they do there may not even be captured in Libya's Gross National Product.  A sort of Monaco, a tax haven in an area that has more desert?
 
It is okay to ascribe to one's wishes. But for super powers to use their combined military might and psychological techniques to impose their will in any African county in this day and age goes beyond the fall of one man: It exposes the impotence of Africa. Who are we? Why not Syria, Bahrain, Yemen, even Saudi Arabia that suppressed revolts in more repressive forms yet they conduct no election as dynastic dictatorships? 
 
In the final analyses, NATO killed more civilians and destroyed infrastructure that would become sources of employment for their own companies and ailing Western economies. And we jubilate, don't we? We are worse than excited slaves. Where is your own courage to liberate African political systems and economies?  The cowardice in you needs the fangs of external powers who depend on the African natural resources?. 
 
The Libyan rebels are not winning any war. French and British special forces came by sea, dropped weapons, some were already in Tripoli and with fighters from Qatar, they masterminded the invasion of Tripoli in coordination with rebels' sleeper cells and cleared paths for the rebels to advance.  This strategy was used because the stalemate was becoming embarrassing to the super powers after 6 months of bombing and their air mandate would have ran out. Some of the Western persons pretending to be journalists were spies.
 
 After failing to take control of Tripoli as hyped on Saturday and Sunday, and lying that Kaddafi's sons were captured to induce mass panic and surrender, on Tuesday, the embarrassment to Obama, Sarkozy and Cameron and their rebels was running high. So NATO furiously leveled Kaddafi's private residence with 64 bombs. Rebels, mostly youths ran in wild, looted, some even ate from refrigerators and installed their flag, dancing. Is this supposed to be  liberation? Some are thanking Susan Rice, US ambassador to the UN, walking around and kissing her picture. It would have been quite a comedy if the lives of these youths would not be scarred for the rest of their lives with all sorts of post war trauma that results in psychological imbalance. After the euphoria, now what?
 
Some universities were bombed. Would those students be immediately  transferred to American and European universities for free? 
 
Ignorance is more of a threatening disease than material poverty. Go on, jubilate, NATO has brought freedom to Africa. Behold. Dance and quote philosopher kings, and watch more news
 
Thanks you Dr. Kassim, Dr, Ojo, Microwave, Okey Mbonu, IBK, Gaston Poufong, Dr Kofi Kissi Dompere, etc. Your write-ups at various times on the issue of Western incursions reflect the ideals of real democracy and empowerment. You don't like dictatorship, you are not supporting Gaddadfi, you are critically analyzing because the road to hell may be paved with good intentions......
 
NATO is bringing democracy?  You must have seen the shock in the faces of even American elected officials when they knew what was happening. Anyone can find out from Congressman  Dennis Kuncinch what other US leaders think.
 
Where is the African voice in this and how is it possible for African Union to be sidelined? Who are these African leaders and do they deserve to lead African to stone age impotence? Those questions dominated a little gathering yesterday. After I left, I spoke with Dr. Ola Kassim.

The triple-lie of Tripoli

The attempt of the world banking elite to wipe out democracy, socialism and resistance is facing severe problems: truth needs only a single day to shinte to undo a thousand years of falsehood


News media outlets across the globe simply echoed as usual the reports from the news agencies which are aligned to an anti-Gaddafi cause in the service of rulers who wish to keep their populations ignorant of the alternatives, and have painted a pretty picture of a war waged almost to the end since rebels reportedly surged into Tripoli over the weekend.

However, they had to do this largely by faking reports, and entire news broadcasts from Qatar's Jazeera, by colouring in green flags with the rebel monarchist flag, an easy feet with photo editing tools, and even the faking of entire scenes at Green Square shot at a large replica of central Tripoli in Qatar. For those who are sceptical, it was not a difficult feat to show some faults on the replica, which missed some of the details of the buildings at Green Square. Now, many of those false reports and also very real ones coming from the ICC about Sayf Al Islams "arrest", have now been deleted from RT.com and other sites, as the media in Russia too has come under pressure from its pro-bankster President.

Journalists and leaders alike are reporting that the end for Colonel Gaddafi's regime is near, the rebels are taking control and the tyranny of the decades-long dictator is as good as gone.

But really now — what's actually happening?

No matter what the mainstream media feeds as facts in an attempt to show a war that's not a waste of resources, men and money, the reality of it is that the battle that is being waged against Gaddafi does not appear to be as far from over as most are led to believe. One would think so, however, due to misinformation represented with no regard for the truth and a public that deserves to hear it. However, wars are waged for bankers and their stooges in the conglomerates, the "money men" and their faithful servants and gate-keeper politicians. The public are to be kept ignorant, used as cannon fodder for the elite's wars, and consumers of their worthless products, MacDonalds, gasoline, bottled water passing off as pure, tell-lie-vision commercials and game shows, and so on.

Monday afternoon in America, US President Barack Obama spoke to the country about the Libyan civil war. "This much is clear," declared the president. "The Gaddafi regime is coming to an end, and the future of Libya is in the hands of its people."

"For over four decades, the Libyan people had lived under the rule of a tyrant who denied them their most basic human rights," added Obama. "Now, the celebrations that we've seen in the streets of Libya shows that the pursuit of human dignity is far stronger than any dictator." (Obama forgot to add : Dictator who provided best standards to the country, jobs, wealth, easy life, no poverty, free health care, free education, free housing, plentiful food, clean water and list goes on and on. But yes probably the best "Dictator" that ever lived)

And while Obama did not say that the war is in fact at an end, he did say one thing for certain: "it's clear that Gaddafi's rule is over."

This is the age we are currently living in, where war is peace, ignorance is strength and slavery is freedom.

Not only does Libya have the purest form of participatory democracy having moved from a dictatorship of a king in 1969, by passing the sham of political parties and moving to direct democracy in 1977, with Gaddafi resigning from all political power in 1979, but it also legislated the most advanced human rights in the world, directly from the people in their basic popular congresses, in 1988.

All this came about in no small thanks to the retirement of Gaddafi from political power, so that he could write The Green Book to show the world how it is done. As a movement was needed to discuss, adopt, and propagate the truths of the Third Universal Theory, he founded and led a green committees movement, which continues to spread around the world.

Obama's speech came within hours of announcement that the second son of Colonel Gaddafi, Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, had been detained by authorities. The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued a warrant for his arrest, which was then allegedly carried out by the Libyan National Liberation Army and announced by the National Transitional Council. Coupled with Obama's assurance that the enemy's empire was crumbling, the capture of the colonel's son and main heir apparent would appear to be only a catalyst for the coup, signalling an end all too certain, along with SMS text messages sent to all Libyan mobile phones.

Hours after his supposed arrest, however, the younger Gaddafi rolled up to Tripoli's Rixos hotel in a white armored limousine. The BBC described him as "pumped full of adrenaline"and "brimming with confidence." He wore an army-green t-shirt as he flashed the V-for-Victory sign from both hands, entertaining reporters and supporters alike. "I'm here to refute all the rumors and reports," he told journalists, and then announced that they would "hit the hottest spots in Tripoli."

The National Transitional Council had issued a report earlier that the colonel's son was captured, being held "in a safe location." They even claimed that his brother Khamis was killed yet again, for more than the 9th time, and that Saadi and Mohammed were under arrest. It appears that Mohammad played a trick on Jazeera by calling them up saying he had given himself up, though that needs verification as I missed it. Needless to say, the entire lack of resistance to the advancing rebels on Tripoli and allowing them to go on a rampage for a few hours, resulting in the deaths of over a thousand according to hospital figures, with 5,000 more injured, was a trap so that they could then be surrounded and defeated. Libyans had grown tired of the cowards hiding out in the desert.

Further, allowing the rebels into Tripoli and also elite western troops from Britain, Germany, France and even the USA, along with Qatari mercenaries, provided the opportunity to finally confront and defeat them but at the same time expose the fact that there are immense violations of Africa's sovereignty going on and a massive snub to the African Union which is the voice of all African states and has long had a working road map for Libya that had been accepted by all parties except the NATO rebels, and of course, NATO.

Saif's response to questions about NATO rebels? Damn them.

Saif al-Islam Gaddafi says it is an "electronic and media war in order to spread chaos and fear in Libya." Are the rebellions really as raw as they are made out to be? "They are acting more as desperate militia. It is a de facto government but they haven't grasped this yet," Fawas Gerges, a professor of Middle Eastern politics at the London School of Economics, tells The Guardian.

Obama says the colonel is on the verge of collapse, but his own son tells reporters that "of course" he's safe. The media makes it as if the rebel resurgence is ravaging his regime, but other reports suggest the opposite is true .

The mainstream media thinks otherwise. But what about those actually on the ground? Pepe Escobar, correspondent for Asia Times, tells RT that journalists from CNN and BBC "reporting" from Tripoli are "pathetic." The story that they give to their audience is delivered from hotel rooms where they are held up, donned in bulletproof vests. The independent journalists actually on the scene, he says, are risking their lives to get the story straight, but few are willing to find an outlet for them to tell the truth.

Perhaps the biggest example of misinformation made available to the public was a release from Al-Jazeera TV on Monday. According to a news bulletin, a NATO war-plane shot down a scud missile fired from Muammar Gaddafi's home city outside of Tripoli. The release is great for those wanting to hear that NATO and American allies are in control and on the side of the rebels, but for those wanting the truth, they are sadly in the dark yet again. Why?

Planes can't shoot down scud missiles.

By Tuesday morning, news sources show Gaddafi's compound billowing with black smoke, fires raging and rebels rejoicing in tears. They say the war is almost over and the end is near, and hey, they have the footage of a mansion on fire to prove it. But where is Gaddafi? Where is his imprisoned son today? What is NATO actually doing and will they lie about it before the sun sets tonight in Tripoli? And what about all the previously doctored images and videos, so many of which have been exposed on Mathaba that we are now tired of it?

From now on, we believe enough people know the truth, and know that we tell the truth. We will just report, and ask more of you readers to do your investigations and join the collective effort. Help out the sub editors at pub.mathaba.net and contribute funds so that our over loaded editors can do more and keep all systems running: www.mathaba.net/donate.htm

While time may tell what's to become of the people of Libya, one thing is absolutely sure: this war will never end, until NATO gives up., and another surety is that the ideas of the leader and his movement contained at www.greencharter.com will spread far and wide.

Surely the so-called MSM media can't be relied on for the facts, but with the future of the world and the lives of millions at stake, people will know the truth about Libya and share it, and more and more will study the educational sections of sites such as www.peoplesconference.org to know what is really behind events in the world, and will adopt the Green Charter as their platform.

And finally a question to all the parents in America. When your children are called to their "call of duty" to go and die for the banking elite, ask yourselves this: Are you sending your children to defend your country or to invade another simply to grab resources that won't reach you but once again only the bankers who control your government?
