Is the Franco-German Axis Kaput?

Posted by seumasach on October 23, 2012

It is not coincidental that Hollande is leading the way in both an imperial policy in Syria and a central bank funded bailout of European banks. An Atlanticist France is a serious problem for Europe whose disarray is only mitigated by the impending implosion of US/UK.

Update on siege of Bani Walid

Beni WAlit está siendo bombardeada por el gobierno libio de doble nacionalidad. El bombardeo es indiscriminado sobre toda la población y desde varios flancos.

La violencia, la agresividad son terribles mientras el mundo está impasible y los medios siguen hablando del “dictador” para justificar lo NO JUSTIFICABLE.

Alguien puede imaginar un gobierno que bombardea a su prop

io pueblo, a una comunidad que representa la tercera parte del país. ..luego hablan de democracia o de libertad.

Por si fuera poco ya están amenazando que cuando terminen con Beni Walit van a seguir bombardeando el sur de Libia.

Mientras los medios y el mundo se mantiene impasible mirando hacia otro lado o justificando estas atrocidades.

SOS BANI WALID (Libye) : Comment empêcher (enfin), le génocide ?

Allain Jules

22st October, 2012

Diantre. Ceux qui avaient simplement soupçonné le frère Guide Mouammar Kadhafi de vouloir faire le siège de Benghazi, la « ville rebelle «  disaient-ils, qu’ «  il voulait raser »-un mensonge abyssal-, s’étaient rués à l’ONU, ce machin, pour aller bombarder la Libye en violant la résolution 1973. Aujourd’hui, dans un silence assourdissant, les nouvelles autorités libyennes tuent des civils en silence à Bani Walid. Elles bombardent à l’arme lourde, utilisant tous les moyens de guerre contre une population sans défense. Est-ce acceptable ? On peut donc comprendre que la soi-disant révolution libyenne n’était qu’une leurre, une falsification. Cet attrape-nigaud occidental coûtera cher aux Libyens…

LAS BANDAS ARMADAS SE ENFRENTAN AL GOBIERNO DE DOBLE NACIONALIDAD LIBIO

Leonor en Libia

20th October, 2012

 

Se están produciendo fuertes enfrentamientos en Trípoli entre bandas armadas del nuevo gobierno de doble nacionalidad libio. Las ordenes de este gobvierno de doble nacionalidad sobre estas bandas de mercenarios para que ataquen a los libios están siendo rechazadas por algunas bandas por su alto grado de peligrosidad ya que han llegado a un extremo que los libios dicen BASTA. Este gobierno de doble nacionalidad pretende entrar poco a poco a estas bandas de alqaeda para que controlen el país y para ello les van adiestrando y logrando nuevos miembros en los montes de Zintan en campos de adiestramiento. Una vez adiestrados son enviados contra los Libios y a Siria.
