Jusqu’à quand les gens vont-ils rester silencieux face à la dialectique morbide et mortifère de l’OTAN sur sa « protection des civils » ? Elle nous rabâche ce mensonge depuis 7 mois en Libye alors qu’elle est entrain de perpétrer, sous nos yeux, un véritable génocide en Grande Jamahariya.  Quel cynisme, quel mensonge face à la souffrance ? De quelle libération parle-t-on sur des champs de ruines ? Si ces gens veulent gouverner la Libye, y instaurer la démocratie n’est que voltige mensongère.

Libya 360

18th september, 2011

This week Telesur welcomed home a news team just back from covering NATO’s war on Libya from that nation’s capital, Tripoli. On arrival at Venezuela’s Maiquetia International Airport, the journalists denounced the ongoing ‘fabrication of lies’ by mainstream media outlets and accused the international press of ‘producing the arguments needed for a continuation of the war’. The Libyan people ‘have been invaded by destruction, war, suffering and death, when the solution to the conflict could have been secured by peaceful means’, affirmed Telesur journalist Rolando Segura, who spent the last four months in Libya alongside cameraman Henry Pillajo.

Muammar Gaddafi’s spokesman told Reuters on Saturday that NATO air strikes on Sirte overnight had hit a residential building and a hotel, killing 354 people.

NATO comment was not immediately available.

Moussa Ibrahim, in a call from a satellite phone to Reuters office in Tunis, said: “NATO attacked the city of Sirte last night with more than 30 rockets directed at the city’s main hotel and the Tamin building, which consists of more than 90 residential flats.

“The result is more than 354 dead and 89 still missing and almost 700 injured in one night.”

Ibrahim said Gaddafi was personally directing loyalist fighters who are holding back provisional government forces at his remaining strongholds in Libya.

“He is leading all aspects of this struggle. He is talking to the people, he is lecturing, he is discussing, he is looking after all matters of the resistance,” he said.

Ibrahim said Gaddafi was in Libya and confident of victory.

“We will be able to continue this fight and we have enough arms for months and months to come,” he said.

“In the last 17 days more than 2,000 residents of the city of Sirte were killed in NATO air strikes,” he said.

Resurgent European imperialism and the Global South

The assault on Libya marks a new  imperialist offensive led by NATO which threatens grave consequences for humanity if unchecked. A resurgent, French, British and even Turkish imperialism provide a distinctly 19th century air to proceedings. In contrast to 2003 and the Iraq War there has been no opposition worth talking about from the left who have now rallied around the left-liberal paradigm as being worthy of universal enforcement. The left are onboard for the new imperialism and they provide its ideological backbone. To paraphrase one of their old songs ” the Internationale unites the white race’.

After what recently happened in Libya, one is apt to wonder what democracy really stands for. If democracy is the keyword used to justify the destruction of human lives and property, then God help us all!

Killing the Bad Guys

To kill or not to kill?- that is the question. And the answer is…. to kill. Kill the bad guys! Like we killed Saddam because he was a dictator and we killed Bin Laden even though he was already dead. As we have killed Gaddafi’s son Khamis- five times in all. If only we could kill Gaddafi so that we could resolve things- no man, no problem, as Stalin used to say. Kill the bad guys who made us bomb their country. Imagine what kind of person would do that- ruin their own country because they wouldn’t take us at our word to step down or suffer the consequences.

Libye – Sarkozy à Tripoli: les raisons d’un voyage controversé

Alors que rien ne va plus dans les faits avec l’ONU et les autres membres de l’OTAN, le président français Nicolas Sarkozy se rendra donc en Libye, tôt ce matin. Le périple présidentiel ne commencera pas dans la capitale des renégats, à  Benghazi, mais à Tripoli où, il ne restera que deux heures maximum, avant d’aller à Benghazi. A Benghazi, 60 policiers français sont arrivés dès hier soir, et 100 autres, à Tripoli. Toujours à Tripoli, selon nos informations, un détachement de 100 gendarmes du Raid est déjà en place. Ce qui fait donc 260 policiers et gendarmes en Libye, contrairement à ce qu’on nous annonce…

In the first major regime counter-offensive in over a week, forces loyal to Moammar Gadhafi liberated a rebel-held oil refinery in Ras Lanuf today, one of the few refineries which escaped NATO bombardment during the civil war.
