Glasgow protest against NATO war crimes

Ever since I’ve been in Glasgow people have always gathered in the town centre when bombing and war crimes directed against our latest victims commenced. That was true of the bombing of Iraq in all its phases culminating in the destruction of Fallujah. It was true of the bombing of Serbia, the attack on Afghanistan, the bombing of Lebanon and Gaza. Has this humanist and anti-colonial tradition now expired? Or our we still too busy in our misguided and premature celebrations of the “fall of Gaddafi” to pay attention to our destruction of his country. Now the “rebels” who are quite clearly simply NATO’s men on the ground in Libya have destroyed and ethnically cleansed the town of Tawerga, clearing it of its population of 10,000 largely black Libyans. As a rebel commander, cited in the Telegraph, delicately put it:

“Tawerga no longer exists”.

Gaddafi’s ghost town after the loyalists retreat

Posted by seumasach on September 12, 2011

Ibrahim al-Halbous, another local rebel commander, put it even more simply.

“Tawarga no longer exists,” he said.

Telegraph

12th September, 2011

Until last month, the town of Tawarga was home to 10,000 civilians.

But as dusk fell over it last week, the apartment blocks stretched, black and dead, into the distance, and the only things moving were sheep.

Libye – Mouammar Kadhafi, le pire cauchemar de l’OTAN

Comme c’est marrant ! Le Fonds monétaire international (FMI) a reconnu le CNT comme le gouvernement légitime de Libye, a déclaré à Marseille sa directrice générale, Christine Lagarde. Il est des histoires qui font rire. La Libye sous Mouammar Kadhafi le digne fils d’Afrique n’a jamais eu besoin du FMI. Au contraire même, elle a toujours…aidé ladite institution de Bretton Woods, en lui accordant des crédits. Ça vous en bouche un coin ?

Making Things, Not Breaking Things

Cailean Bochanan

10th September, 2011

And so we have started yet another war. Another war to topple a dictator as we call someone who wouldn’t bow to our dictates. Libya’s political system may not have been perfect but, by general consent, it served to advance the development of Libya and the welfare of its people. But it didn’t live up to our very exacting standards and, therefore, had to be destroyed.

Former U.S. Congressman Walter Fauntroy, who recently returned from a self-sanctioned peace mission to Libya, said he went into hiding for about a month in Libya after witnessing horrifying events in Libya’s bloody civil war — a war that Fauntroy claims is backed by European forces.

Washington DC, Sept. 9, 2011 – Late yesterday, Obama administration officials speaking off the record told reporters that they had a “credible but unconfirmed” threat warning for a terror attack around the time of the 9/11 anniversary is coming Sunday.

Libye – Les renégats de Benghazi en action.

Posted by seumasach on September 9, 2011

Allain Jules

9th september, 2011

Ils ont de qui tenir. Quand on vend son pays pour un plat de lentilles, quand on s’allie avec des états voyous qui ne respectent aucune loi internationale à partir du moment où, cette dernière ne sied pas à sa vision et ses intérêts du moment, cas des soi disant puissances de l’OTAN, il n’y a pas de surprise.

Après avoir saccagé respectivement les Ambassades d’Algérie et du Vénézuela, les renégats de Benghazi sont entrés dans une nouvelle phase de leur vision sociétale, celle qui est d’être des perpétuels hors-la-loi, soutenus malheureusement par ceux qui sont sensés être les garants de ces lois-là. C’est une horde de chiens enragés qui sont, hélas, les alliés de la France. L’ex douce France de Charles Trenet transformée en prédatrice-guerrière, par Nicolas Sarkozy.

A propos de guerre préventive justement, l’Iran a averti en indiquant qu’il agirait en état de légitime défense en cas d’attaque, protestant contre des propos du président français Nicolas Sarkozy. Ceci fait suite au dérapage dudit président lors de la conférence des ambassadeurs de France. De frappes préventives contre l’Iran ? Passons. Revenons à nos moutons. Hier donc, les renégats de Benghazi, malgré les démentis des autorités nigériennes sur la supposée venue de Mouammar Kadhafi, on fait parler leur sempiternelle violence.

Je suivais tout à l’heure à la télévision, Nicolas Sarkozy qui est allé commémorer les 10 ans des attentats du 11 septembre à l’Ambassade américaine. Pour lui, les attentats ont été commis par   »des criminels, des terroristes, des barbares pour qui on ne peut même pas parler d’idéologie réelle » ajoutant que, « les démocraties doivent être fortes » et bla bla bla… Pourtant, il est leur allié en Libye. Une dichotomie ridicule.

Bref, les renégats de Benghazi se sont rendus en masse, hier,  à l’Ambassade du Niger, à Tripoli. Ils l’ont saccagé, mettant tout sans dessus dessous, brûlant une partie des documents et emportant de nombreux matériels informatiques. Heureusement, les diplomates et les employés étant mis au courant de cette agression et rapine, se sont très vite échappés des lieux. Quand leurs patrons occidentaux ne respectent aucune loi internationale, comment les fous de Benghazi peuvent respecter l’extraterritorialité ? Triste.

LIBYA : Why NATO has lost the war.

No, it’s not some attempt at wit. It’s the truth. As all my articles on Libya have tried to point out, no one can take over a country as if they were weightless. Muammar al-Ghaddafi’s strategy is a winner. These days the media war is the main attraction. Knowing this, NATO makes sure to have media coverage on its side every time it bombs a town. That way no one mentions the destruction of basic services (water, gas, electricity, basic foodstuffs) which is, after all, a war crime.
