¿El atentado contra las torres gemelas fue un acto criminal de la CIA?

Libya: Britain’s shame

Posted by seumasach on September 1, 2011

September issue
AS WORKERS went to press, there was fighting inside Tripoli, which looks likely to fall to rebel forces. Should that happen, it will not be a “liberation”, but an occupation by a ragtag army sustained by NATO.
Cameron rushed back from holiday (quicker than he did when parts of Britain’s cities were being ransacked) to prepare a “victory” speech. If so, it is a victory for imperialism and illegal war, funded lavishly by the government even as it cut billions from spending in Britain.

NATO vows to remain in Libya

Posted by seumasach on August 31, 2011

I thought they were to be invited to stay by the new government, but the TNC seem to be unable to install themselves so NATO have just invited themselves to stay anyway. It would be interesting to see how many NATO troops are operating in Libya at the moment.

NATO says that with the Gaddafi regime ousted, it is close to success in Libya. Nevertheless, the alliance promised to remain in the region in order to secure its UN mandate.

Manifesto of the Libyan Tribal Council

25th August, 2011

While NATO and its supporters envisage an endgame in Libya, they would do well to revisit some of the excerpts from the Libyan Tribal Council manifesto which was issued barely one month ago, on 26 July 2011.

Speaking for Libya’s 2000 tribes, the Council issued a Proclamation signed by scores of tribal leaders from eastern Libya.

By this letter to the extraordinary African Summit, convening in Addis Ababa, the notables of the Eastern tribes of the Great Jamahiriya confirm their complete rejection of what is called the Transitional Council in Benghazi which hasn’t been nominated nor elected by Tribal representatives but rather imposed by NATO.”

A call for African unity! Stop the US/NATO bombing of Libya! Victory to Qathafi!

30th August, 2011

Africa is facing a criminal imperialist invasion of Libya, led by the foremost neo colonialist in Africa, the United States, and organized under the US Africa Command (Africom) and a 28 European nation military alliance, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). This invasion is a desperate attempt to slow down the inevitable and rapidly approaching collapse of the American economy with its increasingly frequent economic crisis, recessions, and uncontrollable debt of $14.3 trillion dollars; which they can never pay.

For the third day in a row, NATO aircraft are conducting massive missile and bomb strikes on the city of Sirte, home town of Muammar Gaddafi, not allowing anyone to escape. The city perimeter is surrounded by rebel check points, behind which there are special forces units from Britain, France, Qatar and United Arab Emirates.

Pro-Al Qaeda brigades control Qaddafi Tripoli strongholds seized by rebels

Posted by seumasach on August 30, 2011

 

I was thinking how Israel might feel about NATO rebels in  Tripoli being led by CIA/Al Qaeda elements. For all the talk of wars for Israel we seem to be seeing wars where Israel’s interests are being disregarded, if this response by Debka is anything to go by.  This may be a crucial element in understanding what looks like a new phase of imperial war.
28th August, 2011
Members of the Al Qaeda-linked Libyan Islamic Fighting Group – LIFG, are in control of the former strongholds of Muammar Qaddafi captured by Libyan rebels last Sunday, Aug. 21, DEBKAfile reports from sources in Libya. They are fighting under the command of Abd Al-Hakim Belhadj, an al Qaeda veteran from Afghanistan whom the CIA captured in Malaysia in 2003 and extradited six years later to Libya where Qaddafi held him in prison.
