Resurgent European imperialism and the Global South

The assault on Libya marks a new  imperialist offensive led by NATO which threatens grave consequences for humanity if unchecked. A resurgent, French, British and even Turkish imperialism provide a distinctly 19th century air to proceedings. In contrast to 2003 and the Iraq War there has been no opposition worth talking about from the left who have now rallied around the left-liberal paradigm as being worthy of universal enforcement. The left are onboard for the new imperialism and they provide its ideological backbone. To paraphrase one of their old songs ” the Internationale unites the white race’.

Libye – Sarkozy à Tripoli: les raisons d’un voyage controversé

Alors que rien ne va plus dans les faits avec l’ONU et les autres membres de l’OTAN, le président français Nicolas Sarkozy se rendra donc en Libye, tôt ce matin. Le périple présidentiel ne commencera pas dans la capitale des renégats, à  Benghazi, mais à Tripoli où, il ne restera que deux heures maximum, avant d’aller à Benghazi. A Benghazi, 60 policiers français sont arrivés dès hier soir, et 100 autres, à Tripoli. Toujours à Tripoli, selon nos informations, un détachement de 100 gendarmes du Raid est déjà en place. Ce qui fait donc 260 policiers et gendarmes en Libye, contrairement à ce qu’on nous annonce…

Nazi Rasmussen: resistance is futile

Posted by seumasach on September 8, 2011

“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.

Thierry Meyssan

Voltairenet

7th September, 2011

Voltaire Network has received letters from many readers enquiring about Al-Qaeda in Libya. To respond to them, Thierry Meyssan has assembled the main data available on the issue. The facts confirm his analysis, defended since the events of September 11, that Al Qaeda is a hotbed of mercenaries used by the United States to fight in Afghanistan, Bosnia, Chechnya, Kosovo, Iraq, and now Libya, Syria and Yemen.

“Free Tripoli” – just don’t mention the corpses

Pravda

5th September, 2011

The war on Libya has not only been a war that has vindicated NATO’s claim to the most powerful military force on earth, capable of imposing its will through sheer aggression wherever it sees fit, but it has also been a war that has reasserted the western mainstream media’s power to not just fabricate events but to create.

Libye – Dernières nouvelles du terrain

Posted by seumasach on September 2, 2011

2nd September, 2011

La révolution par procuration du CNT se poursuit. La vérité, peu à peu, se fait jour, sur le conflit abject libyen, provoqué par l’Occident. Vous avez dit révolution populaire ? Selon les informations d’un journal pakistanais, La Nation, la CIA a recruté 1.500 membres d’Al-Qaïda, de la région de Mazar-e-Sharif en Afghanistan. On peut donc comprendre que les accusations selon lesquelles Mouammar Kadhafi utilise des mercenaires est une voltige mensongère, une façon ridicule de le diaboliser alors que ce sont ceux qui l’attaquent qui le font honteusement avec des espèces sonnantes et trébuchantes. C’est ainsi que de nombreux négro-Africains sont embastillés à Tripoli, pour rien, soupçonnés d’être des mercenaires.
