Battle of Tripoli: separating fantasy from facts

24th August, 2011

What is going on in Tripoli seems to depend on who you talk to and the more you try to discover that is happening, the more it appears that there are two Tripolis – the one in Libya and another one stashed away somewhere in cyber space, on a pink cloud bathed by television blackouts, NATO cyber terrorist activities and clear breaches on the UNSC Resolutions.

Libya: Prostitution of Western journalism

Posted by seumasach on August 24, 2011

Pravda

24th August, 2011

The last two days have once again proved the obvious fact that there are no independent media and that Western news agencies, newspapers and magazines work out a political order. The lion’s share of newspapers, magazines and news agencies reported the unprecedented success of the insurgents and predicted the imminent fall of Tripoli.

Examiner

The Examiner learned in communications from human rights defenders and independent journalists throughout Monday that they were shaken with news of 1300 Libyans killed and 5000 wounded Saturday, plus, the U.S. allegedly ordered Targeted Killings of Voltaire Network reporters, Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya and Thierry Meyssan, non-mainstream reporters in Libya covering the NATO war, while other independent reporters there are being fired upon and one, Mohammed Nabbous was killed Saturday according to ABC News.  In an interview with journalist Don DeBar on KPFA radio, he reported most mainstream “news” about Libya has been untrue, as alternative news sites heavily report but are increasingly persecuted according to their recent reports

Many knew in advance this NATOwood production via Qatar and the no credibility Al Jazeera was in the works. It happened sooner than we anticipated. I think their whole effort was pushed ahead too quickly by someone somewhere, But then the divine one has His way of protecting His own.

El ejército y el pueblo libio lanzan un contraataque en la capital

Posted by seumasach on August 23, 2011

23rd August, 2011
El pasado domingo informamos en nuestro medio de los primeros rumores que llegaban sobre el inicio de la “Operación Sirena”, una campaña organizada por los rebeldes libios y la OTAN con el objetivo de tomar Trípoli y capturar a Muammar al Gadafi, en una medida desesperada para romper el empate técnico que existía desde hacía meses en el país. Tal como preveíamos en el artículo, los intensos bombardeos precedieron la entrada de los rebeldes en la ciudad, tomando algunas posiciones y celebrando de manera muy precipitada su “victoria”, mientras el pueblo se preparaba para la resistencia, inspirada en Stalingrado.

Desde Libia…23/08

Leonor en Libia

23rd August, 2011

No, no se ha detenido el tiempo como me piden algunos. Lo que está ocurriendo en estos momentos es, por un lado ya habréis notado el bloqueo informativo tan grande de los medios y muy especialmente a los periodistas encerrados en el hotel Rixos. me hace gracia que al principio del conflicto los medios de comunicación decían que iban por Benghazi porque era la única manera de obtener información…vaya, ahora resulta que es todo lo contrario, que los mercenarios de la OTAN entran en Trípoli y lo primero que hacen es bloquear a los periodistas libres que quieren informar.

Massive bombing of residential areas in Tripoli over the last three days

Posted by seumasach on August 23, 2011

Global Research

22rd August

“Since the beginning of the NATO operation (31 March 2011, 06.00GMT) a total of 19,751 sorties, including 7,459 strike sorties, have been conducted.

Sorties conducted 20 AUGUST: 105

Strike sorties conducted 20 AUGUST: 36”

These figures do not include the extensive bombing raids directed against civilian targets conducted on the 21st and 22nd of August.

Realities are twisted and turned upside down.

The bombing is part of NATO’s mandate to “protect the lives of civilians”

Make no mistake, NATO is involved in extensive war crimes. The media has been involved in a coverup operation.

The military alliance is supporting an insurgency which in large part is integrated by Islamist death squads which have been set loose in the streets of Tripoli.
