The new universal fascist paradigm

What is new about the attack on Libya is the combination of NATO air strikes with what are termed “rebel” forces on the ground.( The language is new too: since when did Tory prime ministers support “rebels”?:They do now). All this recalls the attack on Serbia. There we also saw the combination of NATO bombing with ground insurgency supported of course by special forces. But the KLA sought to break away from Serbia: regime change in Serbia itself was left to “orange revolutionary forces”, supported by CIA regime change specialists but not by NATO bombing. In Libya the media present the situation as a popular revolt supported by the West’s freedom loving bombers. Since the same game is clearly at play in Syria we seem to be facing a new template for regime change which combines “orange revolution” techniques with terror bombing, with shock and awe.

Libye – Dernières nouvelles du terrain

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.

Libya: Britain’s shame

Posted by seumasach on September 1, 2011

September issue
AS WORKERS went to press, there was fighting inside Tripoli, which looks likely to fall to rebel forces. Should that happen, it will not be a “liberation”, but an occupation by a ragtag army sustained by NATO.
Cameron rushed back from holiday (quicker than he did when parts of Britain’s cities were being ransacked) to prepare a “victory” speech. If so, it is a victory for imperialism and illegal war, funded lavishly by the government even as it cut billions from spending in Britain.

Manifesto of the Libyan Tribal Council

Voltairenet

25th August, 2011

While NATO and its supporters envisage an endgame in Libya, they would do well to revisit some of the excerpts from the Libyan Tribal Council manifesto which was issued barely one month ago, on 26 July 2011.

Speaking for Libya’s 2000 tribes, the Council issued a Proclamation signed by scores of tribal leaders from eastern Libya.

By this letter to the extraordinary African Summit, convening in Addis Ababa, the notables of the Eastern tribes of the Great Jamahiriya confirm their complete rejection of what is called the Transitional Council in Benghazi which hasn’t been nominated nor elected by Tribal representatives but rather imposed by NATO.”

For the third day in a row, NATO aircraft are conducting massive missile and bomb strikes on the city of Sirte, home town of Muammar Gaddafi, not allowing anyone to escape. The city perimeter is surrounded by rebel check points, behind which there are special forces units from Britain, France, Qatar and United Arab Emirates.

Khamis killed again

Posted by seumasach on August 30, 2011

Still no pictures from “free Tripoli” with TNC leaders received by euphoric crowds. NATO continues to bomb Sirte. Fighting continues in or around Tripoli. No mention of the rest of the country also allegedly controlled by the TNC despite until recently clearly having been controlled by the government forces and no evidence or of “rebel ” takeover being given.

Libyan rebels ask NATO to keep military pressure

Posted by seumasach on August 29, 2011

Despite their “victory” the rebels are anxious that NATO continue to support them. I can assure them unequivocally that NATO will continue to bomb and terrorise and infiltrate special forces and mercenaries into Libya.

Top Libyan rebel officials are urging NATO to maintain pressure on the remnants of Muammar Qaddafi’s regime and protect crews trying to restore critical water and power services.

Cynthia McKinney: WAR KILLS

28th August, 2011

Speaking before nearly 300 people–two-thirds of them black, the remainder white and hispanic–in her T-shirt proclaiming that “war kills”, the former U.S. congresswoman said:

“We need someone in the White House who thinks like us and not just one who looks like us. We have to act like we’re free if we want to be free. We have to liberate ourselves from war-mongering political parties.”
