Le dixième anniversaire des attentats du 11-Septembre donne lieu à une débauche d’articles, de documentaires et de programmes audio-visuels pour certifier la version bushienne des événements, alors que l’opinion publique mondiale est devenue majoritairement sceptique. Pour Thierry Meyssan, qui est à l’origine du débat mondial sur l’interprétation des attentats, cette écrasante campagne médiatique est l’ultime tentative du système impérial pour préserver son apparente légitimité et justifier ses prochaines guerres.
10 years after the September 11 attacks, the United States government has made it clear that it had something to hide. From the White House counter-terrorism advisor to the co-chairs of the National Commission of investigation, one after the other key political figures have stepped forward to disassociate themselves from an official version that simply does not add up. Wayne Madsen flashes back to this massive cover-up operation.
“Gaddafi and the remains of his machine must realise that there is nothing to be gained from more fighting.”
In other words “all resistance will be crushed”. What do we learn from this “bravado” from Nazi Rasmussen. Firstly, there is still resistance and NATO plan to continue there illegal and bloody activities in Libya. So all the claims of the pundits, the obligatory “Gaddafi is finished’ stuff is so much nonsense. As Libyan traitor Mahmoud Jibril put it “The battle of liberation is not finished.”. This is cheeky but true in a sense complete opposed to that which Jibril is trying to give. Far from being futile resistance is both necessary and possible. Necessary, because NATO have put power into hands of criminal gangs who have shown themselves only capable of killing. Who would surrender to them if there was any other option? Possible, because these same groups are incapable of uniting and governing Libya and their rule can only destroy Libya, NATO’s preferred outcome: therefore the overwhelming majority of Libyans have a strong motive to resist. Even the removal 0f Gaddafi from the scene cannot change this logic. Militarily the TNC is completely dependent on NATO and even then can only expect to control limited areas of the country. NATO will be obliged to escalate because Libya is too big to bomb every square inch and they will need more boots on the ground. Soon we will see NATO bogged down in another hopeless and criminal little war. As the Western economies implode the time will come soon enough when the people in West realize that this madness has to be stopped and the wars brought to an end.
Mahmoud Jibril, whose formal title is chief executive of the National Transitional Council, spoke publicly for the first time inLibya’s capital Tripoli since rebel forces seized it from the Gaddafi regime last month.
Cuba no reconoce al Consejo Nacional de Transición
La República de Cuba retiró a su personal diplomático en Libia. Solo dará su reconocimiento a un gobierno que se constituya en ese país, de manera legítima y sin intervención extranjera, mediante la libre, soberana y única voluntad del hermano pueblo libio
El Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores ha procedido a retirar a su personal diplomático en Libia, donde la intervención extranjera y la agresión militar de la OTAN han agudizado el conflicto, y han impedido al pueblo libio avanzar hacia una solución negociada y pacífica, en pleno ejercicio de su autodeterminación.
Alors que Bani Walid tient toujours tête à l’OTAN, les regards sont rivés vers Syrte. Privée du strict minimum vital, la ville de Syrte n’a pas dérogé à la règle en fêtant, le 1er septembre dernier, sous les bombardements de l’OTAN, l’accession au pouvoir en 1969, de son fils, bienfaiteur de la Libye et de l’Afrique, Mouammar Kadhafi.

“Whoever knowingly provides material support or resources to a foreign terrorist organization, or attempts or conspires to do so, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 15 years, or both, and, if the death of any person results, shall be imprisoned for any term of years or for life. To violate this paragraph, a person must have knowledge that the organization is a designated terrorist organization (as defined in subsection (g)(6)), that the organization has engaged or engages in terrorist activity (as defined in section 212(a)(3)(B) of the Immigration and Nationality Act), or that the organization has engaged or engages in terrorism (as defined in section 140(d)(2) of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1988 and 1989).” –USC § 2339B. Providing material support or resources to designated foreign terrorist organizations
In March 2011, the London Telegraph reported that Libya’s rebels had direct ties to Al Qaeda and that both leaders and fighters had spent time in both Iraq and Afghanistan combating US troops. The article titled, “Libyan rebel commander admits his fighters have al-Qaeda links” featured Abdel-Hakim al-Hasidi, who had been captured by the US after fighting Americans in Afghanistan, returned to Libya, and released under a bargain for Hasidi and his Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) militants to abandon extremism and become productive members of society. Quite obviously, and with the US, UK, and NATO’s help, Hasidi and his men went back on this bargain and are now sowing murder and mayhem across Libya.
I want to quote Immanuel Kant. In the paper of 1798 (The conflict of the faculties), he writes: “What is an absolute monarch? It is that one when he is in command says: “war must be” and in effect, the war follows. Arguing in this way, Kant took aim in particular at the England of his time, without allowing himself to be deceived by the “liberals” of that country. It’s a lesson to treasure: the “absolute monarchs” of our time, the tyrants and planetary dictators of our time sit in Washington, Brussels and in major Western capitals.
By now even the blind may be able to see and understand what is happening in Libya:
1. It is a war promoted and waged by NATO. This truth ends up filtering out of the same bodies of bourgeois “information.” In La Stampa on August 25, Lucia Annunziata wrote: it is a totally “external war” that is to say made by NATO forces,” and the “Western system, which promoted the war against Gaddafi.” A cartoon from the International Herald Tribune of August 24 shows us “rebels” who rejoice, but from the comfort of riding a plane that has been stamped wirh NATO insignia.
ISLAMABAD – The Central Intelligence Agency of the United States recruited over 1,500 men from Mazar-e-Sharif for fighting against the Qaddafi forces in Libya.
Chris Nineham repeats the STW coalition’s position that the overthrow of Gaddafi, which is not at this point a reality as the TNC are unable to form an administration due to the fact that they don’t control Libya, is “a cause for celebration” but then laments the imperial rape of Libya which would be the inevitable consequence of a takeover by the NATO stooges which STW has been pretending are democratic forces.He pretends to fail to see that there is absolutely no reason to wish for or celebrate Gaddafi’s possible overthrow unless you support the destruction of Libya and the death or enslavement of its people. Fortunately there millions of people who still wish to fight against NATO in Libya and, despite STW’s deceptions and those of other treacherous leftists, some of us still hope to mount a fightback in this country.
