Allain Jules: News from the front: TNC cornered

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.

Bombing doesn’t win hearts and minds

29th September, 2011

David Cameron thinks he can bomb Britain back to global leadership. This is the mentality of the mobster who sees in a hitman  taking out opponents  the solution to everything. But the Libyan resistance has not been “taken out” after over six months of terror bombing by NATO. Nor have they been taken in by Nazi Rasmussen’s claims the all resistance is futile and will be crushed. Far from being futile, Libyan resistance is in the ascendant. Why else have the media suddenly gone so quiet? Cameron’s Al Qaeda allies, hailing from Abdul Hakim Belhaj’s  Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, a proscribed organisation, have proved no match for the Libyan army and a people fighting for their freedom and have taken a serious beating at Sirte, Bani Walid and Sabhah. The TNC has put back the naming of a government until Libya is under their control- they have put it back for ever! Embarrasingly, they have already been given a seat at the UN and occupy  Libyan embassies in London and elsewhere. But who are these shadowy officials who dare not speak their own names? I’ve heard of puppet governments, shadow governments and governments in exile, but this one is simply non-existent. Perhaps it’s a kind of non-governmental organization, a charity to help create refugees. Meanwhile, there are reports that NATO pilots are refusing to bomb targets which are clearly not military such as the housing estates and schools they have demolished in Sirte. I like to believe it’s true because I think there is still some fundamental decency and that people don’t sign up to commit war crimes. In fact, we all have to make a stand against this new series of destructive wars-  not being fought,  this time, against Al Qaeda the enemy,but alongside Al Qaeda, the friend.

Terrorists and NATO are failures in Libya despite genocide

Sirte will not fall, frustratong the NTC and NATO scammers
The armed groups of the self-appointed National Transitional Council attacked the Libyan city of Sirte again on Monday, after a retreat that its leaders justified as a “tactical retreat,” which increased the frustration at the persistent strength and resistance of the forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi.

The military forces of the self-appointed National Transitional Council (NTC) again attacked with the support of aviation provided by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), an imperialist aggressor pact, which bombed areas of the city center, although many civilians continue to try to live there.

Residents who managed to get out blamed NATO and terrorists of the NTC for causing suffering to the population because the injured lack drugs because hospitals are bombed.

The Atlantic alliance itself confirmed on Monday that it hit many targets there, many of them allegedly military, with the contrived claim of protecting civilians, but the spokesman for Gaddafi, Moussa Ibrahim, blamed them for deliberately killing hundreds of innocent people.

Witnesses reported that tall columns of smoke emanating from the city were visible shortly after they heard loud explosions caused by NATO bombs and artillery forces of the NTC, as well as the tenacious response of pro-Gaddafi fighters.

People interviewed for regional TV channels reported that Gaddafi fighters dominate strategic positions from which they effectively strike forces of the terrorist NTC, which had to quit yesterday to retreat from their attempt to advance to the city center.

Rockets, grenades, mortars and snipers are the key resources that the Gaddafi faithful use to defend Sirte, his hometown, and Bani Walid, another bastion of resistance located southeast of Tripoli.

A military commander denied that the NTC was been forced out of Sirte in disarray and claimed that it was a “tactical withdrawal” after reaching three objectives, one of which was supposed to create a corridor for themselves to set upon innocent civilians.

The other two purposes, according to the vision of the terrorist elements, were to secure the suburbs and block any possible escape route for pro-Gaddafi fighters or civilians.

However, thousands of city residents are still suffering from shortages of food, medicines, drinking water and fuel, and are continually exposed to indiscriminate and increasingly cruel bombing by the Atlantic alliance, whose only purpose is to pave the way for a terrorist takeover, revealed local residents.

The same source quoted the spokesman of the NTC who admitted the magnitude of the resistance inside Sirte and said there were not enough men to control a territory where Gadhafi has prestige. Gaddafi’s whereabouts are unknown since late August.

On the other hand, resistance to foreign aggression is also maintained in Bani Walid, where medical sources indicated that in the last 24 hours the NTC lost at least 30 men.

Libye -Nouvelles du front (29-09-2011): défaite rebelle

Caramba !

Il y a six jours, dans un article que nous avions intitulé « l’OTAN n’y croit plus, le CNT aussi », le 23 septembre dernier, c’était le constat d’un blues général dans le camp de ceux qui attaquent la Libye. Signe de Dieu ? Amateurisme de l’OTAN ? Toujours est-il que, les nouvelles du front sont désastreuses. Sur tous les fronts pratiquement, malgré la propagande. Ils avaient annoncé la chute imminente de Syrte et de Bani Walid. Échec et Mat

Big lie: mass grave at Abu Slim

Posted by seumasach on September 28, 2011

Marinella Correggia, Italy
 On Sunday 25th the world media spread the news that Libyan Ntc found a mass grave with  1.200 bodies (or 1.700 according to other Ntc sources) near Abu Slim prison. Ntc said reporters that these were the bodies of prisoners who were killed by the government in Abu Slim in 1996.  Of course the world media, first of all Al Jazeera, spread the news everywhere.

The sickening filth our international community has become

21st September, 2011

Never have I felt so revolted, disgusted, disappointed and violated at belonging to the same species as those sickening creatures crawling around our international community today. The Libya Question and the subsequent UN General Assembly in September was a study in spinelessness, lack of morals, absence of fibre and total disrespect for the law.

Libya heavy fighting and half-hearted calls for diplomacy.

Posted by seumasach on September 28, 2011

 

Last weeks strategic and tactical adaptations of the Libyan Armed Forces as well as increased national and international support for the fight to liberate Libya has forces NATO and TNC forces into the defense on the ground. NATO´s absolute dominance over Libyan Air Space has lost it´s strategic advantages. NATO´s reply; increased terror bombing of civilians. Are the feeble whispers about a diplomatic solution true, and if so, who and what is hiding behind them.

nsnbc is receiving reports of heavy fighting throughout Libya. The strategic and tactical changes have rendered the mighty NATO Air-Power impotent. Is the logic behind the increased terror bombing of civilian targets a sign of sheer frustration, cynical and calculated massacres to bomb Libya´s population into submission, or is it both.

Al Qaeda LIFG leader Abdul Belhaj writes column for Guardian!

Posted by seumasach on September 28, 2011

Global elite defile memories of “War on Terror” dead, humor terrorist Belhaj who fought and killed Western troops.

Land Destroyer Report

27th September, 2011

One would think Abdul Belhaj, leader of Libya’s NATO-backed seizure of Tripoli a month ago would be an overly busy man. After all, the city itself is still not secure enough to move the alleged “National Transitional Council” there to preside over the war torn nation, and rebel forces 85 miles southeast near Bani Walid have been soundly defeated and are now slinking away from the battlefield. Meanwhile, the “final, final” siege of Sirte looks to be once again stalled, and now civilians fleeing the brutalized city are claiming NATO and revolutionaries, not Qaddafi, are committing genocide against the civilians of Libya.

Libyan Islamists must have share in power, warns leader

Posted by seumasach on September 28, 2011

The NATO rebels can neither unite nor control the country. Therefore there will be no TNC government. Who then does their UN representative represent? Who are the people in the Libyan embassies in London and elsewhere? Is NATO to declare Beldaj and Al Qaeda as the sole legitimate representatives of the Libyan people? The only real representatives of Libya are the forces resistance to NATO led by Muammar Gaddafi.

Libya’s Islamist groups “will not allow” secular politicians to exclude or marginalise them in the intensifying battle for power in the post-Gaddafi era, the country’s most powerful Islamist leader has said.

Libye – Le retour pétaradant de Kadhafi / Gaddafi is back !

Nous pouvons, sans le moindre risque, d’ores et déjà vous annoncer que les jours de l’OTAN/CNT déchanteront d’ici la semaine prochaine et que le vrai leader de la Jamahiriya arabe libyenne et socialiste sera de retour. Et fortement. Tremblez bande de tueurs d’enfants ! Ah, au lieu de mettre sur pied un vrai gouvernement, l’illégitime CNT s’est engagé dans une partie de poker menteur insipide où, il a simplement donné des postes ministériels par ville. Une sorte de planification hypocrite alors que le « rebelle » choisi de Brega ou de Misrata ne représente que lui-même et non la population de sa zone tribale ou de sa région. Ce Gouvernement fantoche est donc refusé par les chefs de tribus, sans que les médias « meanstream » n’en parlent. Mais, il y a pire.
