Allain Jules, Defeat for NATO or not? Exile for the renegades?

Translated by Cailean Bochanan

Now that the Franco-Libanese Zied Takieddine is getting upset  and hitting out wildly before his appearance before Judge Renaud Van Ruymbeke, he says that the Elysee have abandoned him and that his Libyan trips were official not officious. Worse, he claims to have been sent by the terrible two, Nicolas Sarkozy and Claude Gueant, on behalf of the French state. Does this explain everything? Failure to sell Rafales? Now, Total paid for this mission. All that for the death of 70,000 Libyans, including 2,300 renegades, killed for nothing. The truth about this war risks then  revealing the dark motivation and misjudgement of Nicolas Sarkozy in this aggression against Libya and, in particular, against Gaddafi.

NATO has stopped bombing in an unusual and so far unexplained move. Nor are they updating there website on the Libyan situation. Reportedly, green flags are fluttering over a building in Tripoli which had been the CIA’s base and out in our global world of real time communication an eerie silence prevails. No news is not good news for NATO. Apart from informing ourselves from mainly Spanish and French language sources, we are left to guess what exactly it is that NATO doesn’t want to tell us. Could it be the rout of their Benghazi assets at the hands of the sovereign people?

Allain Jules- Latest news from the front (2nd Oct.)

Translated by Cailean Bochanan

Victories, even symbolic ones, seem to be multiplying in Libya in favour of Muammar Gaddafi, the invisible man. Libya is bit by bit becoming green again. Not that it ever ceased to be, but the colour green has never been so present before the eyes of NATO who are now with their backs to the wall. The green flag keeps on flying. Ibrahim Moussa has made an announcement denying his capture, after making sure he is in a secure location, somewhere in Libya. He tells us that Gaddafi will make an announcement next week.

Posted by seumasach on October 1, 2011

Dear friends,
On Sept 25th there was in Italy a peace walk “against all wars” with 200.000 thousand people; we went there to ensure that it was also against Libya war!! I send you some pictures from the event, and also from small demo against this war that took place in Italy (but one is from Glasgow, not from Italy). If you organize(d) anything in your place please tell me. Dissent must be shown!! Computer work is not enough!!  We are now sending emails to the government and the Parliament to ask them not to re-fund the italian participation to Nato mission.

Allain Jules: News from the front: TNC cornered

Translated by Cailean Bochanan

Is a mega history being written now in Libya. Judging by statements by the TNC things are going from bad to worse. So what new stink bomb are these losers about to unleash. NATO can’t live up to their lies and is visibly dragging its feet while the TNC has it in for NATO for not bombing enough. Just setting the scene.
