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
Speaking to RT today live from Brazil, Asia Times correspondent Pepe Escobar said that an al-Qaeda asset is now leading the military of rebel-controlled Libya.
Surprise!Surprise! The TNC has petitioned NATO to intervene in support of the “rebels” who have supposedly won. The Atlanticist terror grouping now await the go-ahead from their political wing, the UN.
La OTAN desea incursionar en territorio libio bajo mandato de la ONU
La Organización del Tratado del Atlántico Norte (OTAN) estudia la posibilidad de penetrar en territorio libio bajo órdenes de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU) ante una petición del Consejo de Transición (CNT) libio de que el ente multinacional apoye a los rebeldes del país africano como parte del respaldo internacional a esta nación, sostuvo este viernes el portavoz del ente, Oana Lungescu.
GENEVA, August 26 (UNHCR) –UN High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres has issued a strong call for sub-Saharan Africans to be protected in Libya as reports emerge from Tripoli of people being targeted because of their colour as the city fell to rebel forces.
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).
Five days after “rebels” entered Tripoli, under the cover of NATO bombing and led by foreign special forces, the abject criminality of imperialism’s takeover of Libya is becoming increasingly evident.
Each NATO warplane that passes over Libya’s coast and releases its ordnance upon the city of Tripoli is a glaring reminder that not only have the NATO-backed rebels failed to take the city, but the fighting there is beyond their ability to face without constant air support. As each bomb tears through Tripoli’s already NATO-battered infrastructure – most recently destroying a fire station in the Abu Salim district – the world is given daily affirmations of just how duplicitous and premature NATO’s desperate claims of “victory” were, made now nearly a week ago. To add injury to insult, UK’s Foreign Secretary William Hague was imploring South Africa to release funding to NATO’s proxies in Benghazi and suggested that failing to do so would be “risking a humanitarian disaster.” Hague has not yet explained how the persistent aerial bombardment of a heavily populated city isn’t already causing a verified humanitarian disaster.
Se mantiene la tensión en Trípoli, capital libia por los enfrentamientos que continúan este viernes en los alrededores del hotel Corinthians donde se aloja la prensa extranjera, según el reporte del enviado especial de teleSUR a esa ciudad, Rolando Segura.
Dans la nuit du jeudi 25 au vendredi 26 août, les rebelles ont attaqué le quartier d’Abou Slim à Tripoli, traquant les fonctionnaires loyalistes et leurs familles.
Racing desperately against both an approaching deadline on their mandate and their departing credibility, NATO is desperately declaring victory in Libya regardless of what the facts on the ground may be. Parading before the public, videos of rebels looting empty compounds and dancing briefly in a square that may or may not have even been in the country, NATO’s declaration of victory teeters entirely on the corporate-media’s ability to obfuscate what is obviously a citywide battle overturning earlier rebel “gains” in Tripoli.
The Libyan rebels’ somewhat dubious success in Tripoli threatens to draw NATO into a ground operation while Washington is wondering whether the European coalition was right to rush into battle.
