Washington’s war on Libya rages. Fighting didn’t stop after NATO said its seven-month 2011 “mission” ended. Ravaging a nonbelligerent country wasn’t good enough.

Ex-rebels attack Libya’s Bani Walid, 11 killed

Posted by seumasach on October 18, 2012

 

So  Libya Shield, a group which has been named in connection with the death of the US ambassador, operating “under the banner of the army” is engaged in an attempt to “truly liberate” Beni Walid from “regime loyalists and criminal gangs”. According to John Rosenthal:

“The Libya Shield Brigade is known to operate under the authority of the Libyan government. As it so happens, it is also known to fly the black flag of jihad.”

This time they won’t enjoy the advantage of NATO air cover which may. rather, be directed against them. Western policy towards the so-called Arab Spring is now in total disarray  and only continued deep cover from liberal-left groups and media, in particular, prevent the whole fiasco from blowing up in their faces

At least eleven Libyans were killed and scores wounded in clashes on Wednesday when ex-rebels linked to the army attacked Bani Walid, a former bastion of dictator Moamer Kadhafi, local sources said. Read (Libya’s Misrata tense after death of man who caught Gaddafi)

16th October, 2012

On October 8, the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CTSO) began maneuvers dubbed “Inviolable Fraternity” (“НЕРУШИМОЕ БРАТСТВО”). The scenario focuses on the deployment of a peace force in an imaginary country where international jihadists and terrorist organizations operate against a backdrop of ethnic and confessional divisions. The accredited diplomatic corps, which was invited to attend the exercises, listened attentively to the opening address of the deputy secretary general of the organization. He clearly indicated that the CTSO is preparing for an eventual intervention in the Greater Middle East. And for those feigning deafness, Nikolai Bordyuzha specified that his deputy was not speaking of Afghanistan.

Great escape of Libyan patriots

Fuga masiva de patriotas de una cárcel libia

Resistencia Libia

15th October, 2012

Decenas de patriotas libios, miembros de las fuerzas armadas de la Yamahiriya árabe libia popular socialista, de los Comités Populares, de los servicios de seguridad, de la antigua administración revolucionaria y simples ciudadanos partidarios del Líder masacrado se han dado a la fuga de la cárcel de Al Jadaida de la ciudad de Trípoli, que en el pasado fue la capital de un país conocido como Libia y que hoy es una ciudad sometida a ocupación militar de la OTAN, de sus cuerpos de inteligencia y de las bandas de criminales armados puestos en el poder en 2011 por la mencionada alianza agresiva. Es evidente que los patriotas han contado con la complicidad de funcionarios de prisiones, como también es evidente que las masas populares darán refugio seguro a los evadidos para que prosigan la lucha de liberación nacional hasta la expulsion de los imperialistas y de sus agentes locales.

The Muslim Brotherhood organized a large demonstration in Amman, on Friday, 5 October 2012, at the end of prayer. At first convened to prod the monarchy towards transformation, it soon rose to near-insurgency levels to the, by now classic, cry of “The people want the regime to go!“.

The recent polls have repeatedly shown that the Turkish public opinion is strongly opposed to any military intervention in Syria. The curious part is that this opinion is present even within the ruling party, AKP, despite PM Recep Erdogan’s “forward policy” toward Syria.
