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.

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.

Cameron the chancer

You probably didn’t know that David Cameron was a gambling man. What, you ask; has he been buying up credit default swaps on a Greek default? Has he placed his bets on the Euro being as worthless as the doomed dollar/pound tandem? That would be reckless even with City hedge funds, the rating agencies and the world’s media on your side. No, he has recklessly put his money on pulling off a return to 19th century imperialism in a new dash for Africa. He has decided to spice up the tired and all to predictable transatlantic relationship with a menage-a-trois, a fling with the flashy, French fantasist, Sarkozy.

Libye – Nouveau plan diabolique de l’OTAN, Sarkozy en Libye

Pour « nettoyer » soi disant, les derniers poches de la résistance qui se fait de plus en plus forte, notamment dans la région du Fezzan, ainsi qu’à Brega et ailleurs, les soldats de l’apocalypse, courroucé de ne pouvoir mettre la main sur le renard du désert Mouammar Kadhafi, veulent en finir, avant la fin du mois de septembre, avec ceux qui résistent.

Divisions grow in Libyan ranks after failed attack on loyalist stronghold

Posted by seumasach on September 13, 2011

Poor NATO, it’s just not happening for them. How is the TNC to be installed now? Where is their puppet government to call for a NATO “humanitarian” force. What are they to do about the lunatic Belhaj? Take him out I suppose. Are we really to believe that the Libyan people will bow before this criminal rabble? They must regroup and retake the initiative. That, I think, is already happening. Everyone who has put their money on the NATO gangsters and their gangster friends is now very exposed, Ban Ki Moon, Cameron, Sarkozy, Ashton, Obama, the media almost in its entirety, and, most strikingly, a substantial part of the alternative media,  the left, the far left, the designer anarchists,the so-called anti-war movement. All accessories after the fact, complicit in war crimes, covering for war crimes,apology for war crimes and  apology for terrorism or just plain silence. Not a peep out of them as NATO keeps doing the only thing it knows and knows like no other: killing.

The rebels had fought their way in through the narrow streets and alleyways when they ran into an ambush. A desperate appeal for help to their comrades, exiles from Bani Walid whose advice they had followed on the assault, was answered by instructions to fall back to a rendezvous point outside the town.

Libye – Les dernières nouvelles de la Jamahariya

Posted by seumasach on September 13, 2011

On vient d’apprendre qu’en Afghanistan, le quartier général de l’OTAN a été violemment attaqué à Kaboul. 10 ans après, toujours aucun résultat probant sur le terrain afghan. En Libye, c’est entrain visiblement de prendre le même chemin. Après avoir tout tenté à Bani Walid, les soldats de l’apocalypse semble se rendre à l’évidence.

L’OTAN propose de l’argent à Bani Walid

La résistance de la petite cité de Bani Walid, 50 000 habitants, où, les médias « meanstream » annonçaient fièrement que les populations civiles s’enfuyaient, tourne au chaos pour l’OTAN. Privation d’eau, de gaz, d’électricité, de denrées alimentaires et de bombardement n’ont pas sapé le moral des troupes pro-kadhafistes.

Après avoir largué des tracts menaçant les populations de Bani Walid sans réaction de leur part, l’OTAN a, depuis hier, tenté d’acheter les consciences en proposant cette fois-ci, de l’argent par l’entremise de nouveau tracts.

Niger: la servilité africaine se poursuit. Le Gouvernement nigérien souhaite mettre aux arrêts Saadi Kadhafi arrivé depuis dimanche dernier sur son territoire. Que peut-on lui reprocher ? Quelle tristesse !

Tripoli: les pro-Kadhafi ont changé leur tactique. Ils utilisent désormais des pistolets munis de silencieux. Ils auraient ainsi éliminer des centaines de renégats ces dernières 24 heures. Apparemment, ça se confirme que le président du CNT Moustapha Abdeljalil, serait blessé, après un attentat. A confirmer.

Amnesty International: les pauvres reconnaissent enfin que les renégats de Benghazi portent très bien leur nom. Leurs crimes de guerre sont avérés et l’organisation par eux, du génocide des noires est prouvée.

Dans l’ensemble de la Libye, sans doute, les prochaines semaines, la donne va changer. Les Libyens semblent se réveiller et comprennent enfin que seul leur pétrole intéresse les Occidentaux.

L’OTAN et l’ONU, se sont visiblement engagés sur d’infernales galères prétendument au service des droits humains. Plus dure sera la chute.

Genocide, rebel infighting, failed offensives mark 3 weeks after NATO’s “victory” in Libya

Desperate to declare NATO’s mission in Libya a victory ahead of the September 19, 2011 deadline on their contrived UN Security Council resolution, already violated in every conceivable manner possible, NATO planes in tandem with NATO special forces obliterated Tripoli ahead of swarms of Libyan rebel troops led by notorious Al Qaeda thug Abdulhakim Hasadi (aka Balhaj.) Three weeks later, NATO’s proxy Libyan representative, long-time globalist and servant of the West Mahmoud Gibril Elwarfally, touched down at Tripoli’s airport, one of the few enclaves held by rebels in the city, to give the impression that his “National Transitional Council” (NTC) actually controls the capital and therefore the country.
