22nd April, 2013
The media has gone very quiet on Libya of late; clearly, liberal imperialists don’t like to dwell on their crimes. This is not surprising. The modus operandi of the humanitarian imperialist is not one of informed reflection, but only permanent outrage against leaders of the global South; besides, in the topsy-turvy world of liberal interventionism, the ‘failure to act’ is the only crime of which the West is capable.

“Libya’s new rulers are still struggling to impose their authority on a country awash with weapons and a myriad of armed militias who often do as they please.’
The term “blowback” is much abused but is certainly applicable here: the destruction of the Libyan state carried out by an alliance between NATO, with France to the fore,Qatar and Al Qaida -type elements created the conditions in which anyone can use terrorism to advance their agenda. It is all very well for Hollande to claim “excellent’ relations with the Libyan authorities but their writ does not run very far.

“The presidency and government moved urgently and sent a high-level delegation to the United Arab Emirates to demand the release of detainees accused of belonging to the Muslim Brotherhood weeks ago, but has neglected to address the situation of Egyptians who have been assaulted in Libya,” the opposition group said.

The Second Anniversary of What?
Maximilian Forte
Counterpunch
19th February, 2013
This weekend, marking the second anniversary of the start of protests that would usher in a bloody and prolonged NATO-led coup to overthrow the Libyan Jamahiriya and Muammar Gaddafi, offers many reasons to celebrate for those whose intention was the demolition of Libyan self-determination, African integration, and a domestic system of extensive social welfare and stability.

Casi dos años después de aquél ataque salvador de la OTAN, con el que se pretendía liberar a los libios de los imaginarios “bombardeos genocidas” del Gadafi, procede preguntarse: ¿Para qué ha servido la destrucción de Libia como país? “¿Cómo viven hoy los libios? ¿Miran al futuro con esperanza?

Always on hand when needed, cameleontic jihadists serve as enemies in Mali, friends in Syria, and air force in Libya.
In today’s New York Times, Steven Erlanger justifies the French intervention in Mali on these grounds:
• It responds to “a direct request from a legitimate government.”
• It combats “the spread of radical Islamists, some of them foreign jihadists, strongly connected to terrorist groups like Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb.”

Avec la fougue de la jeunesse, une logique réelle et sans langue de bois, le député indépendant belge Laurent Louis, 33 ans bientôt, s’oppose, seul contre tous les autres parlementaires, à la participation de la Belgique à la guerre au Mali. Il dénonce la manipulation internationale, le mensonge de la lutte anti-terroriste, le soutien des Occidentaux aux djihadistes en Libye, Tunisie et Syrie et dévoile les véritables raisons, selon lui, de cette opération militaire néo-colonialiste.
