Facing total economic meltdown at home US/UK, spear-heading NATO, have chosen the path of confrontation with the rest of the world, a path which will lead us to the brink of war with Russia and China

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

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.

UN High Commissioner resorts to Libyan formula to address Syrian situation

Without indentifying what she called “reliable sources, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay said that the alleged repression by the Syrian government has claimed 1600 lives since protests began some six months ago, and she requested the same civilian-protection efforts by foreign countries she previously asked for Libya.

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

11th September, 2011

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.

Orwellian September 11th commemoration heralds new wars

Thierry Meyssan

Voltairenet

12th September, 2011

The tenth anniversary of the September 11 attacks has given rise to a profusion of articles, documentaries and television programs that certify the Bush administration’s version of the events, while world opinion has become largely skeptical. For Thierry Meyssan, who sparked the global debate on the interpretation of the attacks, the overwhelming media campaign is the imperial system’s last attempt to preserve its apparent legitimacy and justify its future wars.

Glasgow protest against NATO war crimes

Posted by seumasach on September 12, 2011

Cailean Bochanan

12th September, 2011

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.

Andrew Gilligan

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.
