Sri Lanka blames India for Tamil separatist war

Updated: Apr 10, 2013 18:59 IST

Colombo: Sri Lanka Wednesday blamed India for the Tamil separatist war which dragged for 30 years on the island.

The information department quoted Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa as telling the local media that India could never absolve itself of the responsibility for creating terrorism in Sri Lanka.

India's former permanent representative to the UN, Hardeep Singh Puri, called for an investigation into specific allegations of war crimes during the last 100 days of military operations in Sri Lanka.

Rajapaksa, however, said those demanding accountability on Sri Lanka's part for alleged atrocities committed during the last 100 days of the conflict were silent on the origin of terrorism in Sri Lanka.

He said Puri should realise that India's intervention in Sri Lanka had caused a major regional crisis when "Indian-trained Sri Lankan terrorists" raided the Maldives in November 1988.

Rajapaksa said the international community should consider a comprehensive investigation into the issue beginning with the Indian intervention.

The information department quoted the defence secretary as saying that some interested parties were reluctant to acknowledge that Sri Lanka was a much better place today without the Tamil Tigers.

The Sri Lankan military defeated the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in May 2009 after 30 years of war.

According to the South Asia Terrorism Portal, more than 20,000 civilians have been killed in attacks by armed groups in Pakistan between 2003 and 2015. And the December 16 attack on the school in Peshawar wasn't the first to target schoolchildren.Dec 16, 2015

The Sri Lankan Civil War was an armed conflict fought on the island of Sri Lanka. Beginning on 23 July 1983, there was an intermittent insurgency against the government by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (the LTTE, also known as the Tamil Tigers), which fought to create an independent Tamil state called Tamil Eelam in the north and the east of the island. After a 26-year military campaign, the Sri Lankan military defeated the Tamil Tigers in May 2009, bringing the civil war to an end.^[1]

For over 25 years, the war caused significant hardships for the population, environment and the economy of the country, with an initial estimated 80,000–100,000 people killed during its course

 “India abetted terror in Sri Lanka in the mid-1980s”

·         By R. K. RADHAKRISHNAN

Role played by New Delhi needs intensive discussion, says Rajapaksa's Secretary

The Indian intelligence agencies had a big hand in planning and executing terrorist strikes in Colombo in the mid-eighties, the President's Secretary Lalith Weeratunga said. Reading from a book, Gota's War, at its launch here, he said the role India played in Sri Lanka needed “intensive discussion.” He described the events described in the book as “home truths.”

Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa was under intense pressure from India, United Kingdom and France to stop the Eelam War IV in April of 2009.

But “he did not cave in to external pressure,” Mr. Weeratunga has revealed.

Mr. Weeratunga was privy to the meetings. The Indian team, led by its then National Security Adviser M.K. Narayanan, had arrived here in April, just as the Lok Sabha elections were on in India, and just before Tamil Nadu went in to vote. For different reasons, Foreign Ministers of England and France were here too, with the same agenda.

‘Violated sovereignty'

The book launch function, meant to celebrate Defence Secretary and President's brother Gotabaya Rajapaksa's contribution to the war, turned out to be an India-bashing session: India aided and abetted terrorism, and repeatedly violated Sri Lanka's sovereignty. Its High Commissioner during the period dictated terms to Sri Lanka.

“…When the Vadamarachchi operation commenced, the Prime Minister of India at that time, Rajiv Gandhi, issued a strong statement against the operation…Sri Lanka could have been rid of terrorism [at that time, but for the] high-handed interference of the then Indian envoy, Mr. J.N. Dixit,” said Mr. Weeratunga, to an audience that comprised all top elected leaders and officials and diplomats in Sri Lanka, including President Rajapaksa and the Indian High Commissioner Ashok K. Kantha.

Sri Lanka firmly believed that if this operation had gone on, the country could have been rid of terrorism more than two decades ago. Reading from the book, Mr. Weeratunga said: “While the Vadamarachchi operation was on, the Indian Envoy Mr. J.N. Dixit had met President Jayawardene and bluntly told him that India will not stand by idly and allow Jaffna to fall into the hands of the Army, and if the military operation continued, there could be unforeseen consequences. Asked to explain what these ‘unforeseen consequences' could be, Dixit had told Jayawardene that military aid may be given by India to the LTTE leading to the possible dismemberment of Sri Lanka.”

India armed, trained, financially sponsored LTTE terrorists and Sri Lankan Tamil Militants

By  Shenali D Waduge

The Jain Commission confirms so, Dixit confirms it, India’s intelligence does not deny it, memoirs of former officials give details, Tamil Nadu leaders have accepted it and there are enough of affidavits to prove that on the explicit orders of India’s government it applied the replica of the Bangladesh strategy by organizing clandestine training camps in India numbering over 30 bases to train Sri Lankan militants well before 1983 the oft used reason for India’s interference in Sri Lanka. Pretending to maintain cordial relations with Sri Lanka and clandestinely running training camps to train terrorists like LTTE to create mayhem in Sri Lanka while supplying arms to them puts India in no position to be claiming it is a friend of Sri Lanka or even the Tamils. If creating Bangladesh and Sikkim was of national interest to India and not allowing Khalistan and Tamil Nadu Eelam Homeland out of national interest shows India’s cunning.

Were 1980s LTTE killings under India instructions?

The 1983 July riots said to have been caused as a response to the LTTE killing of 13 soldiers remains a very contentious topic even 30 years later. It was the first time that a large number of military personnel had been slaughtered in one go and was a shock to not only the families of the deceased but a shock to the military itself. Aware of its own limitations in military hardware Sri Lanka was unaware that India had not only been training LTTE and other militant groups but had also been arming them and financially supporting them as well. This means that whatever weapons, ammunition and even LTTE targets had to have been with the explicit knowledge and even instructions of India and its intelligence agencies who were handling them.

We cannot also rule out that India’s intelligence agency and these trained militants could have also been part of the mischief of the 1983 riots because in reviewing the rampage and plunder of homes that took place it is totally out of context to conclude that only Sinhalese Buddhists committed these offenses – this is far from the truth which is why we continue to say that the Sinhalese were not part of the July riots as is being portrayed. Why have the Tamils not come forwarded to say that they were protected and kept in the homes of the Sinhalese?

The first batch of Tigers were trained in Establishment 22 based in Chakrata, Uttarakhand, India.

“The second batch, including LTTE intelligence Chief Pottu Amman, was trained in Himachal Pradesh. Velupillai Prabakaran himself visited the first and the second batch of Tamil Tigers to see them training. Eight other batches of LTTE were trained in Tamil Nadu.†The training was imparted by former Indian army personnel who provided Tamil militant youth training in arms handling, swimming, boat driving, handling of light machine guns, handling transport vehicles, guerilla warfare, boat driving and physical training. India cannot claim ignorance or profane insult if we wonder how many of the LTTE atrocities committed on Sri Lankan civilians – bus bombings, slaying of moderate Tamil leaders and politicians, claymore mine attacks, assassinations and even suicide missions may have been designed and instructed by India with LTTE simply carrying out orders? To think that the manner LTTE slaughtered innocent villagers including pregnant mothers and children asleep was planned by India should make India feel ashamed.

In this scenario India cannot blame us for also wondering if the assassination on Mayor Alfred Duraiappah and shooting down of Tamil policemen was also planned and plotted by India. Generally, the initial years the student is always at the mercy of its teacher and we can safely say that the student decided to part ways with India only after the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi in 1991.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMdU4Hm7tkU (Indian Army and RAW train LTTE)

While we hold LTTE responsible for 30 years of brutal killings we can but wonder how many of these initial murders were on the suggestion and planning of India with LTTE and other Tamil militants simply carrying out orders because they were being trained, they were being supplied arms and they were being financed by a country that claims to be Sri Lanka’s friend. It was far later that LTTE learnt the ropes and set up its own clandestine network running ships and other nefarious activities once it became masters of the art which India had taught them.

Therefore if we look back at the LTTE atrocities prior to 1991, Sri Lanka has every right to hold India directly responsible and accountable for the deaths that occurred though even post-1991 for all the suffering that Sri Lanka went through India cannot escape blame and no amount of superfluous statements coming from Indian Premier, its high commissioners or other officials can change the perception of what India has done to Sri Lanka. No amount of diplomatic or PR tamashas can ever change the fact that Sri Lanka does not trust India and will never trust India. A country that clandestinely gathers youth, takes them under their stewardship, trains them, provides arms, financially supports and instructs them to destabilize a nation is a cowardly nation and does not deserve to become a superpower. What national security threat does Sri Lanka a country of 20million people pose to India a country of 1.2billion people? Incidentally, the IPKF operation was known as “Operation Cactus†and it certainly proved a thorn to India with over 1200 Indian soldiers being killed as a result of the very arms India had supplied and the training retired Indian army had taught the LTTE while Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated by a woman who had been raped by the IPKF!
We are ashamed of what India has done. Just as we demand compensation from the colonials who plundered our nation for hundreds of years it is time India compensated for every loss of life that LTTE terrorists committed because LTTE and Prabakaran would not have become as ruthless as they did if not for India’s milking them and instructing them to kill the civilians of its neighboring nation and to destabilize Sri Lanka so that it would be always running to India for assistance.

The RAW and the Ministry of External Affairs are provided Rs 25 crore annually as “discretionary grants” for foreign influence operations.

The US District Court in Baltimore sentenced Lalit H Gadhia, a naturalised US citizen of Indian origin, to three months imprisonment after he confessed to being the conduit between the Indian Embassy and Indian-American organizations that used funds to influence US law makers. Over $46,000 from the Indian Embassy was distributed among 20 Congressional candidates. Gadhia’s source was Devendra Singh, a RAW official assigned to the Indian Embassy in Washington. These funds had been given to Democratic candidates including Sens. Charles S. Robb (D-Va.), Paul S. Sarbanes (D -Md.) and Reps. Benjamin L. Cardin (D-Md.) and Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.) in 1995.

We next wonder how far India is influencing Sri Lanka’s lawmakers and political parties?

India’s premier can make Tamils the masters of their destiny in Tamil Nadu not Sri Lanka

When Prime Minister Manmohan Singh informs Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa that New Delhi will work towards ensuring that Tamils are “masters of their own destiny within framework of a united Sri Lanka.†All we need to say is Jayalalitha is the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, an Indian State. She has no business in Sri Lanka. Yes, the Tamil Nadu Tamils have been demanding for a separate Tamil Homeland in Tamil Nadu far before the same quest took off in Sri Lanka, therefore if India wishes to ensure “Tamils are masters of their own destiny†India must rightly create that scenario in Tamil Nadu and not Sri Lanka as it did in Bangladesh and Sikkim.

Sri Lanka’s leaders need to know the history of the LTTE and India’s role to ensure that India does not have any stake in Sri Lanka and already the large number of stakes given to India must not go beyond a specific term that does not run into hundreds of lease years and with a clause that every deal can be re-scrutinized if Sri Lanka’s national security is ever at risk of Indian incursion. However, our leaders have made grave errors in tying deals with India in areas of communication, power and energy supply, pharmaceuticals, oil refinery, tea and when a country can create mayhem using LTTE have our leaders not thought of what India can do using all the current stakes India has been given?

If we blame previous leaders for the folly that the current leadership has to suffer the same criteria applies so that future leaders will not have to suffer another Indian terrorist chapter of a different and far more dangerous capacity.

 US President Obama - A Deadly Criminal 

AN APPEAL TO THE HONOURABLE CHIEF JUSTICE OF SUPREME COURT OF USA , CHIEF JUSTICE OF INDIA & CHIEF JUSTICE OF PAKISTAN 



- By American Citizens


Our country was known as " Heaven On Earth" , "Land of Equality & Equal Oppurtunity" & the "Statue of Liberty" rightly symbolized the spirit of our country. Now USA is known as a "Terror State".


In the last 3 – 4 decades , the persons who occupied the office of President USA ,in their individual capacity took wrong , inhuman decisions , meddled in the internal affairs of other sovereign nations , spent our resources to create terrorist outfits like al-queda , Taliban in those countries.


In turn these terrorist outfits terrorized , murdered millions of innocents & this Frankenstein monster came home to roost on September 9 / 11 . After September 9 / 11 , each terror suspect is severely tortured in hell like Abu Garibh prison , elsewhere by our authorities. For argument sake let us accept
that these terrorists who murder innocents don't deserve kid glove treatment & rightly deserve 3rd degree torture. When a single terrorist deserve such inhuman 3rd degree torture , what quantum of punishment , torture – previous presidents of USA deserve – who created , aided & abetted thousands of such terrorists , terrorist outfits ?


Herby, we appeal to the honourable Supreme Court of USA to order the federal government to to make public :


1. how much US resources were spent from US TREASURY , to finance terrorist outfits , military juntas in other sovereign nations ?


2. is not Al-queda , Taliban creations of USA ?


3. did September 9 / 11 WTC attack truly happened by hijacked airplane or was it planned by US authorities ? see
http://www.neiu.edu/~ayjamess/hmmm.htm#Main


4 . is racial profiling , profiling a particular community & suspecting all the muslims as terror suspects , right?


5. if it is right , the creators of such terrorist outfits – past presidents of USA – who were Christians makes it logical to assume whole of our Christian community as terror suspect ?


6. is not use of 3rd degree torture on all type of suspects in US prisons & in the prisons of US allied countries at the behest of US authorities , right ? is it not violation of human rights & US laws ?


7. did US find any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq , which was the main reason for US attacking Iraq ?


8. why not US authorities use scientific interrogation techniques like polygraph , lie detector tests instead of inhuman 3rd degree torture on terror suspects & suspects in other criminal cases ?


9 . what legal right our President of USA have , to illegally spend billions of our dollars on inhuman , illegal acts of terrorism , military coup , creation , aiding & abetting of terrorists , etc , in other sovereign nations ? while we are suffering from loss of jobs ,loss of home due to natural calamities , etc ? 



10. Inspite of repeated appeals for justice JUDGES of SUPREME COURT of USA are mum and not taking action against terror presidents. Is it because they owe their elevation to the highest judicial post to the US president or is it a survival act ? 


Crux , Foundation of all religions is humanity , kindness & universal brotherhood. It is the preachers who misrepresent it. Terrorism created , aided , abetted by anybody is inhuman & wrong . Terrorism is creation of power hungry , selfish people & they must be legally punished .


Hereby , we appeal to the honorable supreme court of USA to legally prosecute Previous PRESIDENTS OF USA in the last 4 decades , for crimes of terror , as per the present US anti-terror laws.



Recently , in the issue of weekly publication "The Week" , cabinet minister of government of srilanka (previously a deadly terrorist & right hand man of LTTE chief Prabhakaran ) Mr. Karuna , Himself has stated in an interview that LTTE received arms training in Tamilnadu State of India , to wage war against Government of Srilanka. The Justice Jain Commission Of Enquiry , which probed late PM Rajiv Gandhi's assassination case , also stated that Tamil Terrorist outfits in Srilanka Received monetary , financial , arms training support from government of India. GOI has even setup a radio station for tamil terrorists of srilanka , within Indian territory. GOI spent billions of dollars of Indian taxpayer's money for aiding & abetting terrorism , while billions of Indians were half starving & going without a single meal , without proper health care.



Recently , in a media interview the president of Government of Pakistan Mr. Jardari himself has confessed that in the previous years the government of Pakistan has aided & abetted Terrorism for tactical gains of Pakistan , spending billions of dollars of Pakistani taxpayer's money. While ordinary Pakistanis were suffering from starvation , lack of health care , etc.



All the above proves that Previous Presidents of Government of USA , previous Presidents of Government of Pakistan & Previous Prime Ministers of Government of India were the real master minds of TERRORISM , founded , aided , abetted TERRORISM FOR THEIR OWN SELFISH GAINS. In turn Murdering lakhs of innocent human beings. These guilty previous presidents & prime ministers are deadly than OSAMA BIN LADEN.



Hereby , we appeal to the Honorable Chief Justices of supreme courts of USA , INDIA , PAKISTAN , BANGLADESH , SRILANKA & INTERNATIONAL WAR CRIMES TRIBUNAL , to legally prosecute the previous Prime Ministers of INDIA , the previous presidents of USA & PAKISTAN , on charges of master minding TERRORISM & murdering innocent people in their respective countries .

What lies behind Pakistani charges of Indian 'terrorism'

By M Ilyas KhanBBC News, Islamabad

Why would Pakistan's army accuse Indian intelligence of "whipping up terrorism" in Pakistan?

The accusation levelled at India's Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) came in a  statement issued by the army's media wing. There was no mention of any specific incident, but privately military officials have been blaming India for involvement in a separatist insurgency in Pakistan's south-western province of Balochistan.

Many say it is probably the first time a Pakistani authority outside political or diplomatic spheres has publicly named an Indian institution in this manner.

They see this assertiveness as a sign of the Pakistani army's growing willingness to be seen to be dictating the country's foreign and national security policies.

It comes as the army tries to face the triple threat of the Pakistani Taliban, Baloch insurgents and a complicated mix of urban crime, ethnic, linguistic, religious, sectarian and political rivalries in the country's biggest city, Karachi.

It also indicates a toughening of Pakistan's position against India at a time when the Pakistani army is emerging as one of the chief guarantors of peace in Afghanistan, in partnership with China.

Any failure to deliver on this score is likely to weaken Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, an apparent ally of Pakistan, and strengthen pro-India forces in Kabul.

Conversely, any arm-twisting by the military to force the Afghan Taliban to the dialogue table may antagonise them and thereby deprive Islamabad of a proxy to check the spread of Indian influence in Afghanistan.

Pakistan has long accused India of fuelling insurgency in Balochistan. Officials say Indian spies are operating through a network of Indian missions dotting southern and eastern Afghanistan, where most Baloch insurgents are also based.

The military believes India also has involvement in Karachi, Pakistan's largest and most volatile city. This suggestion comes from a recent claim by a senior police officer - believed to be the mouthpiece of the military - that RAW helped a Karachi-based party.

Observers say the Pakistani army has been soft-pedalling in the fight against the Afghan Taliban as well as anti-India militant groups based in Pakistan, but it has come down hard on Baloch insurgents and political activists.

Over the years, hundreds of Baloch activists have gone missing, most of them turning up dead on the streets or across the vast wilderness of the province. Locals blame all these disappearances and killings on the army and its surrogate groups, a charge the army denies.

More recently, however, it has moved more openly to curb movement and debate by Baloch rights activists.

In March, authorities at Karachi airport stopped three Baloch activists from proceeding to New York to participate in a seminar on human rights violations in Balochistan and Sindh province.

One of them was Mama Qadeer, a 70-year-old Baloch rights activist who shot to fame when he walked 3,000km (1,860 miles) from Quetta to Islamabad last year to protest over killings in Balochistan.

In April, two men introducing themselves as ISI operatives handed a written "order" to the management of Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), asking it to cancel a talk which featured Mama Qadeer.

While LUMS gave in, on 25 April a similar talk went ahead at The Second Floor (T2F), a tea house-cum-book store in Karachi, despite what some activists claim were "warnings" not to hold the event.

Within an hour, the moderator of that talk and head of T2F, Sabeen Mehmud, 40, was shot dead by unknown gunmen while driving home in her car.

The incident sparked protests across the country, with civil society groups and several newspaper columnists accusing the ISI directly or more subtly for the murder.

The pressure grew so much that the army had to issue a separate statement condemning Ms Mehmud's murder, apparently to distance itself from the incident.

Many believe the army's latest statement about RAW may be equally meant to deflect this wave of public criticism.

Terrorist Sponsors: Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, China

By Ted Galen Carpenter

The United States has assembled a superficially impressive international coalition against the threat of terrorism. Many countries in that coalition, however, contribute little of significance to the fight. Even worse, the willingness of some members of the coalition to actually combat terrorism is doubtful. Indeed, given their record, some of those countries appear to be part of the problem, not part of the solution. That concern is especially acute with respect to Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and China.

Saudi Arabia enlisted in the fight against terrorism only in response to intense pressure from the United States following the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Even then, its cooperation has been minimal and grudging. For example, Riyadh has resisted Washington’s requests to use its bases in Saudi Arabia for military operations against Osama bin Laden’s terrorist facilities in Afghanistan.

Even that belated, tepid participation is an improvement on Saudi Arabia’s previous conduct. The U.S. government has warned that it will treat regimes that harbor or assist terrorist organizations the same way that it treats the organizations themselves. Yet if Washington is serious about that policy, it ought to regard Saudi Arabia as a prime sponsor of international terrorism. Indeed, that country should have been included for years on the U.S. State Department’s annual list of governments guilty of sponsoring terrorism.

The Saudi government has been the principal financial backer of Afghanistan’ s odious Taliban movement since at least 1996. It has also channeled funds to Hamas and other groups that have committed terrorist acts in Israel and other portions of the Middle East.

Worst of all, the Saudi monarchy has funded dubious schools and “charities” throughout the Islamic world. Those organizations have been hotbeds of anti-Western, and especially, anti-American, indoctrination. The schools, for example, not only indoctrinate students in a virulent and extreme form of Islam, but also teach them to hate secular Western values.

They are also taught that the United States is the center of infidel power in the world and is the enemy of Islam. Graduates of those schools are frequently recruits for Bin Laden’s Al-Qaeda terror network as well as other extremist groups.

Pakistan’s guilt is nearly as great as Saudi Arabia’s. Without the active support of the government in Islamabad, it is doubtful whether the Taliban could ever have come to power in Afghanistan. Pakistani authorities helped fund the militia and equip it with military hardware during the mid-1990s when the Taliban was merely one of several competing factions in Afghanistan’s civil war. Only when the United States exerted enormous diplomatic pressure after the Sept. 11 attacks did Islamabad begin to sever its political and financial ties with the Taliban. Even now it is not certain that key members of Pakistan’s intelligence service have repudiated their Taliban clients.

Afghanistan is not the only place where Pakistani leaders have flirted with terrorist clients. Pakistan has also assisted rebel forces in Kashmir even though those groups have committed terrorist acts against civilians. And it should be noted that a disproportionate number of the extremist madrasas schools funded by the Saudis operate in Pakistan.

China’s offenses have been milder and more indirect than those of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. Nevertheless, Beijing’s actions raise serious questions about whether its professed commitment to the campaign against international terrorism is genuine. For years, China has exported sensitive military technology to countries that have been sponsors of terrorism. Recipients of such sales include Iran, Iraq and Syria.

Even though Chinese leaders now say that they support the U.S.-led effort against terrorism, there is no evidence that Beijing is prepared to end its inappropriate exports. At the recent APEC summit, China’s President Jiang Zemin was notably noncommittal when President Bush sought such a commitment. Whenever the United States has brought up the exports issue, Chinese officials have sought to link a cutoff to a similar cutoff of U.S. military sales to Taiwan — something that is unacceptable to Washington.

It is time for China, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia to prove by their deeds, not just their words, that they are serious about contributing to the campaign against international terrorism. In China’s case, that means ending all militarily relevant exports to regimes that have sponsored terrorism. In the cases of Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, it means defunding terrorist organizations and the extremist “schools” that provide them with recruits. It also means severing ties with such terrorist movements as the Taliban and the Kashmiri insurgents. The world is watching the actions of all three countries.

Don’t hate Pakistanis, but Pakistan-sponsored terrorism: Rajnath Singh

Union home minister Rajnath Singh takes a dig at Pakistan-sponsored terrorism, says those who rear snakes should know they would bite them

New Delhi: Keeping up the attack on Pakistan and cross-border terrorism, Union home minister Rajnath Singh on Monday said that Pakistan should close down its “factory of terrorism” for the sake of peace and development in South Asia.

“Pakistan’s entire establishment is engaged in fuelling terrorism in India and that’s why, the management of areas along the India-Pakistan border has become a challenging task. But those who rear snakes should know they would bite them,” said Singh, who was speaking at a conference of regional editors from north and north-eastern states in New Delhi.

Singh, however, made it clear that the Indian government bore no ill will against the people of Pakistan and its fight was only against cross-border terrorism sponsored by the Pakistani state.

Referring to the recent cross-border surgical strikes against terror launch pads across the Line of Control the Union minister said that the strike was only a pre-emptive action against Pakistani-sponsored terrorism and not an attack against the people of Pakistan.

“We do not hate people of Pakistan. We hate Pakistan-sponsored terrorism only,” he said.

Singh went on to say that India was ready to help Pakistan fight terrorism in its own soil. The minister, though, said Pakistan’s intentions vis-à-vis terrorism remained “unclear”.

The home minister, during his address, also elaborated on India’s plans to completely seal its borders with Pakistan as recently announced by the government. Singh revealed that in areas where a physical barrier was not feasible due to geographic constraints, technology solutions, including cameras, sensors, radars, lasers, etc, will be deployed.

Terming India’s borders as “friendly, active and strategic”, Singh said that New Delhi has been engaging all its neighbours except Pakistan diplomatically to ensure peace on the borders.

“Because of development work, transgression incidents at China border have also come down drastically,” Singh claimed.

Islamabad: India funding terror in Pakistan

By   B. MURALIDHAR REDDY

Claims "open evidences are available" on New Delhi's involvement with subversive activities in that country.

Hours after Prime Minister Narendra Modi indirectly hit out at Pakistan at the 14th ASEAN-India Summit in Vientiane (Laos) on Thursday, Islamabad launched a counter-offensive saying “India is financing terrorism in Pakistan and open evidences are available on its involvement in subversive activities”.

In a report datelined Islamabad, the Pakistan state run news agency-Associated Press of Pakistan (APP) quoted Foreign Office spokesperson Nafees Zakaria as saying at his weekly briefing that “one single nation” was spreading terrorism in South Asia ... India was in fact that single nation.”

Repeats Modi verbatim

The Pakistan Foreign Office Spokesperson repeated the exact words of Mr. Modi at the G20 Summit in China. External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Vikas Swarup in a series of tweets on Modi at G20 on September 5 had said, “Terrorist is a terrorist” PM:1 single nation in http://S.Asia  is spreading agents of terror in our region.. ‘Isolate & sanction supporters of terrorism’ PM: Urge int’l community to act in unity & respond against terrorism.”

Islamabad and New Delhi have been engaged in verbal exchanges since the alleged encounter death of ‘Hizb-ul poster boy’ Burhan Wani on July 8 in Anantnag, which triggered unrest in the Kashmir valley.

After PM raised Baloch rights issue

It got worse after Mr. Modi weaved into his Independence Day speech from the ramparts of the Red Fort issues related to Pak-occupied Kashmir and Gilgit and alleged human rights violations by the Pakistani forces in the Balochistan Province.

An APP report said, “When asked if Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will raise the issue of Kalbhushan Yadav at the upcoming UN General Assembly session, the spokesman said: “The issue of Indian involvement would definitely be highlighted…because of its direct links with incidents of terrorism in Pakistan.”

‘Pak nuke assets safe’

Separately Pakistan Foreign Secretary Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry has at a conference in Islamabad asserted that Pakistan’s nuclear assets are safe from terrorists.

Radio Pakistan quoted him as saying that he advised the international community, particularly the United States, to shun discriminatory practices in the context of nuclear and defence ties as it jeopardised the stability of whole region. 

‘Rights violations in Kashmir’

On Wednesday the Pakistan Prime Minister's Special Envoy on Kashmir Awais Leghari briefed the ‘international community’ in Geneva on the alleged human rights violations by the India in Kashmir.

Mr. Leghari is one of the 22 members of Parliament nominated by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on August 27 to travel to different world capitals to lobby for the ‘Kashmir cause.’

“Pakistan can write as many letters as they want to the United Nations but this will not change the fact that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India,” Mr. Vikas Swarup said at his last weekly briefing in New Delhi.

- Introspect yourself 



Kashmiri militants claim they are fighting for kashmiris, when the very same kashmiris were suffering from loses due to earthquake why didn't the so-called jihadis didn't make any relief efforts? Why didn't their foreign master – Pakistan didn't make any relief efforts? Within the pak occupied Kashmir ( pok) itself, Pakistan didn't make appropriate
relief efforts. It is government of India & international community who provided proper & timely relief. 

The foreign powers are not at all interested in your well being. They are ready to spend millions of dollars for aiding terrorism, but not ready to spend a few hundreds for your education , health care or self employment schemes through NGOs. The fact is they don't want your well being, they don't want you to prosper, live peacefully. The ultimate objective of these foreign powers is to take you on the path of self destruction, destruction of your motherland & to finally usurp the power, to subjugate you into slavery in turn looting the resources of your country. 

Ofcourse, in India there is rampant corruption. Still democracy is live & kicking in India, it is the best form of governance. You have got real examples of countries in Africa, latin America, wherein the countries have secured independence through separatist / terrorist movements. The terrorist leaders themselves have become prime minister / president of newly independent countries. Now, they are more corrupt & barbaric than their predecessors . even after getting independence, the lives of commonfolk has become bad to worse. By independence , only leaders have benefited. Will you lead another struggle ? this is endless, as the selfishness , greed of leaders knows no bounds. 

In the past, government of India aided tamil separatists, Pakistan terrorists, etc, butchering innocents. The government of U.S.A aided terrorists in Africa, afghanisthan, latin America , murdering innocents. Various countries have aided terrorism while preaching peace. These barbaric acts were motivated by selfish, corrupt, ego-centric leaders. Now, in the bomeerang effects of their actions, innocents are dying in bomb blasts, etc. 

Violence breds violence. Peace & compassion results in all round harmony, prosperity. Every human being must struggle against injustices in a peaceful & legal manner. The struggle must be against the corrupt system, for that peaceful struggle democracy is the best forum. Don't be pawns in the hands of foreign powers, politicians. They are not at all interested in your welfare, well being. At the end, it is the leaders who become ministers & amass wealth through corruption. The common folk like you will remain as fiddlings, minions forever. 

Just imagine yourselves in the place of victims of delhi serial bomb blasts (29/10/2005) or Mumbai blasts of 26/11/08 . just imagine the plight of little child MOSHE who has lost both his parents , imagine Your mother & wife are crying, your children are dead , your father's hands & limbs are ripped apart in the blast. How does it feel to be one ? no religion, no god asks it's followers to cause destruction. All religions, gods are full of eternal love & compassion. Let that god shine his light, upon you all on the violent path. 



Whether it is in india or else where , democratic system is best form of governance. The people in those countries suffer due to corrupt public servants . in all such cases , the legal , non violent fight must be against the corrupt people , corrupt police , corrupt judges , CORRUPT public servants but not against the system itself.

Let us build ram rajya of mahatma's dream through non violent means within the existing democratic framework . Jai Hind. Vande Mataram. 



Your’s sincerely,

America Must Prosecute it's own War Criminals




"US Wars Meant to Maintain Unjust Predatory Overseas Investments! Look across the seas and see individual capitalists of the West investing huge sums of money in Asia, Africa, and South America, only to take the profits out with no concern for the social betterment of the country. This is a role our nation has taken, … refusing to give up the privileges and the pleasures that comes from the immense profits of overseas investments. This is not just. " Martin Luther King Jr.
SOONER or LATER, HUMANITY WILL REASSERT ITSELF and punish the PATHETIC MASS- MURDERING THIEVES, WHO NOW PARADE and POSE AS RIGHTFUL RULERS of the EARTH.

The General Treaty for the Renunciation of War, The World Peace Act, previously The Kellogg-Briand Pact, became part of the US Constitution (as did Article 6 and 7 of the Nuremberg Principles twenty-two years later), upon being approved by the US Senate 85-1 and reads:

"The High Contracting Parties solemnly declare in the names of their respective peoples that they condemn recourse to war for the solution of international controversies, and renounce it, as an instrument of national policy in their relations with one another.


The High Contracting Parties agree that the settlement or solution of all disputes or conflicts of whatever nature or of whatever origin they may be, which may arise among them, shall never be sought except by pacific means."
After negotiations, the pact was signed in Paris at the French Foreign Ministry by the representatives from Australia, Belgium, Canada, Czechoslovakia, France, Germany, India, the Irish Free State, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Poland, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States. It was proclaimed to go into effect on July 24, 1929. By that date, the following nations had deposited instruments of definitive adherence to the pact: Afghanistan, Albania, Austria, Bulgaria, China, Cuba, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Egypt, Estonia, Ethiopia, Finland, Guatemala, Hungary, Iceland, Latvia, Liberia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Nicaragua, Norway, Panama, Peru, Portugal, Romania, the Soviet Union, the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, Siam, Spain, Sweden, and Turkey. Eight further states joined after that date: Persia, Greece, Honduras, Chile, Luxembourg, Danzig, Costa Rica and Venezuela.

The 1928 World Peace Act was concluded outside the League of Nations, and remains a binding treaty under international law. In the United States, it remains in force as federal law(see U.S. Const. art. VI). One month following its conclusion, a similar agreement, General Act for the Pacific Settlement of International Disputes, was concluded in Geneva, whichobliged its signatory parties to establish conciliation commissions and an arbitration tribunal in any case of dispute, and the opportunity to take failed disputes to the Permanent Court of International Justice.
Article VI Clause 2 of the US Constitution states that "[A]ll Treaties made, under the Authority of the United State, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding." 



A recent week-end national conference of antiwar organizations saw the introduction of the following prescient resolution by a Korean war veteran, long a member of Veterans For Peace:
"whereas Martin Luther King Jr. finding no court willing to prosecute racist crimes, successfully led their prosecution in the court of public opinion; 

- whereas Mahatma Gandhi finding no court would prosecute the crimes of the British Empire, successfully led their prosecution in the court of public opinion; 

- and whereas the people of Iran finding their courts unwilling to prosecute the crimes of the Shah, successfully led their peoples prosecution in the court of public opinion; 

- be it resolved that law-abiding Americans, finding that US courts will not bring the force of common law, statutory law, Constitutional law and Nuremberg Principles law down upon perpetrators of illegal wars on poor people in colonially impoverished nations, that we citizens of all walks of life will seek to lead prosecution of these illegal and homicidal wars in the court of public opinion to punish these crimes against humanity and prevent them from further happening until our courts can do so."

2. KOREA

THE CRIMES AMERICA HAS PERPETRATED ON KOREA STARTED WHEN WALL STREET INTERESTS CONVINCED PRESIDENT TEDDY ROOSEVELT TO CLOSE OFF ALL DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS WITH KOREA AND DEAL WITH THE JAPANESES OCCUPYING MILITARY. WOODROW WILSON SIGNED THE DOCUMENT THAT RECOGNIZED KOREA AS JAPANESE TERRITORY MAKING THE US COMPLICIT IN A BRUTAL 40 YEAR JAPANESE OCCUPATION OF KOREA.

DURING WW II, US ARMED FORCES DID NOT LIBERATE KOREA, HAVING DEFEATED THE JAPANESE ELSEWHERE. BY AN ARRANGEMENT IN WHICH KOREAN HAD NO SAY, AMERICAN AND RUSSIAN ARMIES ENTERED A KOREA, WHICH HAD ALREADY HAD A NASCENT POLITICAL SYSTEM IN PLACE. KOREA WAS DIVIDED IN TWO NEW OCCUPYING ARMIES.

SINGMAN RHEE WAS BROUGHT IN FROM WASHINGTON AND BY AMERICAN OVERSEEN INSTIGATED FOUL PLAY BECAME THE PRESIDENT OF THE AMERICAN ZONE GOVERNMENT. IN THE NEXT THREE YEARS HIS POLICE AND SPECIAL SERVICES MASSACRED AROUND 200,000 UNIONIST, SOCIALISTS AND COMMUNISTS ALONG WITH MANY OF THEIR WIVES AND CHILDREN. NOW FULLY DOCUMENTED BY A SOUTH KOREAN GOVERNMENT CREATED RECONCILIATION COMMISSION. UN LOW ESTIMATE OF THE 1948 MASSACRES ON CHEJU ISLAND OFF THE SOUTHERNMOST COAST AT MINIMUM 30,000.

THE BODO LEAGUE MASSACRE (HANGUL: 보도연맹 사건; HANJA: 保導聯盟事件) WAS A MASSACRE AND WAR CRIME AGAINST COMMUNISTS AND SUSPECTED SYMPATHIZERS THAT OCCURRED IN THE SUMMER OF 1950 DURING THE KOREAN WAR. ESTIMATES OF THE DEATH TOLL VARY. ACCORDING TO PROF. KIM DONG-CHOON, COMMISSIONER OF THE TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION COMMISSION, AT LEAST 100,000 PEOPLE WERE EXECUTED ON SUSPICION OF SUPPORTING COMMUNISM;[2][DEAD LINK] OTHERS ESTIMATE 200,000 KILLINGS.[1] THE MASSACRE WAS WRONGLY BLAMED ON THE COMMUNISTS FOR DECADES.[3]
HTTP://EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG/WIKI/BODO_LEAGUE_MASSACRE

IN 1950, THE ARMY OF THE NORTHERN GOVERNMENT INVADED AND SWEPT OVER ALL OF SOUTH KOREA EXCEPT FOR PUSAN, WHERE AMERICANS WERE IN FORCE AND ESTABLISHED A PERIMETER. THE ARMY OF THE SOUTHERN GOVERNMENT MOSTLY DEFECTED OR JUST WENT HOME. KOREA WAS AGAIN UNITED. THE US AND ITS ALLIES EVEN UNDER UN APPROBATION AND FLAG DURING THE NEXT FEW YEARS BOMBED EVERY CITY AND TOWN IN NORTH AND SOUTH KOREA AND 3 MILLION KOREANS PERISHED, ALONG WITH A HALF MILLION CHINESE WHO IN THE END CAME TO THE NORTH KOREAN AID AND PUSHED THE US FORCES BACK OUT OF THE NORTH.

KOREA WAS AGAIN DIVIDED. SINGMAN RHEE WAS SO DESPISED, AFTER THE AMERICAN WAR WAS OVER, HE HAD TO FLEE FOR HIS LIFE. AFTER THREE DECADES OF MILITARY DICTATORSHIPS A CIVILIAN GOVERNMENT WAS ELECTED.

ANY KOREAN WILL TELL YOU THERE IS ONLY ONE KOREAN NATION.THE US DIVIDED IT AFTER SUPPORTING JAPANESE CONQUERORS FOR 40 YEARS. WHEN KOREAN UNITED THEIR NATION AGAIN WHAT WAS CALLED THE 'FREE WORLD,' PREVIOUSLY THE COLONIAL POWERS, AND NOW 'THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY OF NATION LED BY US-NATO, SAW FIT TO BRING DEATH DESTRUCTION TO THE WHOLE PENINSULA IN A 'GOOD WAR' AGAINST COMMUNISM WITH HAILS OF FLYING METAL FLATTENING ALMOST EVERY CITY AND TOWN NORTH AND SOUTH CAUSING THE VIOLENT DEATH OF THREE MILLION SOULS.

AFTER HAVING BEEN THREATENED WITH THE ATOM BOMB, THE CONTINUING SIXTY YEARS OF STRANGLING TIGHT INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC SANCTIONS AND ANTI-COMMUNIST PROPAGANDA BY THE FREE WORLD'S MEDIA, NORTH KOREA HAS BECOME THE MOST MILITARILY PREPARED POPULATION ON EARTH, WHILE THE SUPERPOWER REGULARLY PRACTICES WAR EXERCISES IN THE OCEAN WITHIN EAR SHOT OF ITS INLAND CAPITAL.

PRESIDENT TRUMAN, US OFFICIALS THAT PROSECUTED THE WAR ON KOREA, THE UN SECURITY COUNCIL, AND HEADS OF STATES COLLABORATING IN THE KILLINGS AND DESTRUCTION LED BY THE AMERICAN ARMED FORCES SHALL BE TRIED POSTHUMOUSLY FOR THE GOOD OF ALL CONCERNED.

3. VIETNAM

MARTIN LUTHER KING JR, "THE VIETNAMESE PEOPLE PROCLAIMED THEIR OWN INDEPENDENCE IN 1945 AFTER A COMBINED FRENCH AND JAPANESE OCCUPATION WHICH THEY FOUGHT AS AMERICAN ALLIES. THIS PROCLAMATION OF INDEPENDENCE CAME BEFORE THE COMMUNIST REVOLUTION IN CHINA. THEY WERE LED BY HO CHI MIN [WHO HAD BEEN DECORATED BY THE US]. EVEN THOUGH THEY QUOTED THE AMERICAN DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE IN THEIR OWN DOCUMENT OF FREEDOM, WE REFUSED TO RECOGNIZE THEM. INSTEAD, WE DECIDED TO SUPPORT FRANCE IN ITS RECONQUEST OF HER FORMER COLONY. OUR GOVERNMENT FELT THEN THAT THE VIETNAMESE PEOPLE WERE NOT READY FOR INDEPENDENCE, AND WE AGAIN FELL VICTIM TO THE DEADLY WESTERN ARROGANCE THAT HAS POISONED THE INTERNATIONAL ATMOSPHERE FOR SO LONG. WITH THAT TRAGIC DECISION WE REJECTED A REVOLUTIONARY GOVERNMENT SEEKING SELF-DETERMINATION AND A GOVERNMENT THAT HAD BEEN ESTABLISHED NOT BY CHINA -- FOR WHOM THE VIETNAMESE HAVE NO GREAT LOVE -- BUT BY CLEARLY INDIGENOUS FORCES THAT INCLUDED SOME COMMUNISTS. FOR THE PEASANTS THIS NEW GOVERNMENT MEANT REAL LAND REFORM, ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT NEEDS IN THEIR LIVES.

FOR NINE YEARS FOLLOWING 1945 WE DENIED THE PEOPLE OF VIETNAM THE RIGHT OF INDEPENDENCE. FOR NINE YEARS WE VIGOROUSLY SUPPORTED THE FRENCH IN THEIR ABORTIVE EFFORT TO RECOLONIZE VIETNAM. BEFORE THE END OF THE WAR WE WERE MEETING EIGHTY PERCENT OF THE FRENCH WAR COSTS. EVEN BEFORE THE FRENCH WERE DEFEATED AT DIEN BIEN PHU, THEY BEGAN TO DESPAIR OF THEIR RECKLESS ACTION, BUT WE DID NOT. WE ENCOURAGED THEM WITH OUR HUGE FINANCIAL AND MILITARY SUPPLIES TO CONTINUE THE WAR EVEN AFTER THEY HAD LOST THE WILL. SOON WE WOULD BE PAYING ALMOST THE FULL COSTS OF THIS TRAGIC ATTEMPT AT RECOLONIZATION.

AFTER THE FRENCH WERE DEFEATED, IT LOOKED AS IF INDEPENDENCE AND LAND REFORM WOULD COME AGAIN THROUGH THE GENEVA AGREEMENT. BUT INSTEAD THERE CAME THE UNITED STATES, DETERMINED THAT HO SHOULD NOT UNIFY THE TEMPORARILY DIVIDED NATION, AND THE PEASANTS WATCHED AGAIN AS WE SUPPORTED ONE OF THE MOST VICIOUS MODERN DICTATORS, OUR CHOSEN MAN, PREMIER DIEM. THE PEASANTS WATCHED AND CRINGED AS DIEM RUTHLESSLY ROOTED OUT ALL OPPOSITION, SUPPORTED THEIR EXTORTIONIST LANDLORDS, AND REFUSED EVEN TO DISCUSS REUNIFICATION WITH THE NORTH. THE PEASANTS WATCHED AS ALL THIS WAS PRESIDED OVER BY UNITED STATES' INFLUENCE AND THEN BY INCREASING NUMBERS OF UNITED STATES TROOPS WHO CAME TO HELP QUELL THE INSURGENCY THAT DIEM'S METHODS HAD AROUSED. WHEN DIEM WAS OVERTHROWN THEY MAY HAVE BEEN HAPPY, BUT THE LONG LINE OF MILITARY DICTATORS SEEMED TO OFFER NO REAL CHANGE, ESPECIALLY IN TERMS OF THEIR NEED FOR LAND AND PEACE.

THE ONLY CHANGE CAME FROM AMERICA, AS WE INCREASED OUR TROOP COMMITMENTS IN SUPPORT OF GOVERNMENTS WHICH WERE SINGULARLY CORRUPT, INEPT, AND WITHOUT POPULAR SUPPORT. ALL THE WHILE THE PEOPLE READ OUR LEAFLETS AND RECEIVED THE REGULAR PROMISES OF PEACE AND DEMOCRACY AND LAND REFORM. NOW THEY LANGUISH UNDER OUR BOMBS AND CONSIDER US, NOT THEIR FELLOW VIETNAMESE, THE REAL ENEMY. THEY MOVE SADLY AND APATHETICALLY AS WE HERD THEM OFF THE LAND OF THEIR FATHERS INTO CONCENTRATION CAMPS WHERE MINIMAL SOCIAL NEEDS ARE RARELY MET. THEY KNOW THEY MUST MOVE ON OR BE DESTROYED BY OUR BOMBS.

SO THEY GO, PRIMARILY WOMEN AND CHILDREN AND THE AGED. THEY WATCH AS WE POISON THEIR WATER, AS WE KILL A MILLION ACRES OF THEIR CROPS. THEY MUST WEEP AS THE BULLDOZERS ROAR THROUGH THEIR AREAS PREPARING TO DESTROY THE PRECIOUS TREES. THEY WANDER INTO THE HOSPITALS WITH AT LEAST TWENTY CASUALTIES FROM AMERICAN FIREPOWER FOR ONE VIETCONG-INFLICTED INJURY. SO FAR WE MAY HAVE KILLED A MILLION OF THEM, MOSTLY CHILDREN. THEY WANDER INTO THE TOWNS AND SEE THOUSANDS OF THE CHILDREN, HOMELESS, WITHOUT CLOTHES, RUNNING IN PACKS ON THE STREETS LIKE ANIMALS. THEY SEE THE CHILDREN DEGRADED BY OUR SOLDIERS AS THEY BEG FOR FOOD. THEY SEE THE CHILDREN SELLING THEIR SISTERS TO OUR SOLDIERS, SOLICITING FOR THEIR MOTHERS.

WHAT DO THE PEASANTS THINK AS WE ALLY OURSELVES WITH THE LANDLORDS AND AS WE REFUSE TO PUT ANY ACTION INTO OUR MANY WORDS CONCERNING LAND REFORM? WHAT DO THEY THINK AS WE TEST OUT OUR LATEST WEAPONS ON THEM, JUST AS THE GERMANS TESTED OUT NEW MEDICINE AND NEW TORTURES IN THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS OF EUROPE? WHERE ARE THE ROOTS OF THE INDEPENDENT VIETNAM WE CLAIM TO BE BUILDING? IS IT AMONG THESE VOICELESS ONES?

WE HAVE DESTROYED THEIR TWO MOST CHERISHED INSTITUTIONS: THE FAMILY AND THE VILLAGE. WE HAVE DESTROYED THEIR LAND AND THEIR CROPS. WE HAVE COOPERATED IN THE CRUSHING -- IN THE CRUSHING OF THE NATION'S ONLY NON-COMMUNIST REVOLUTIONARY POLITICAL FORCE, THE UNIFIED BUDDHIST CHURCH. WE HAVE SUPPORTED THE ENEMIES OF THE PEASANTS OF SAIGON. WE HAVE CORRUPTED THEIR WOMEN AND CHILDREN AND KILLED THEIR MEN.

WHO ARE WE SUPPORTING IN VIETNAM? IT'S A MAN BY THE NAME OF GENERAL KY WHO FOUGHT WITH THE FRENCH AGAINST HIS OWN PEOPLE, WHO SAID THE GREATEST HERO OF HIS LIFE IS HITLER. OH, OUR GOVERNMENT AND THE PRESS GENERALLY WON'T TELL US THESE THINGS, BUT GOD TOLD ME TO TELL YOU "

[REV. KING WAS ASSASSINATED IN SPRING OF 1968. THEREFORE THIS SITE'S COORDINATOR, ARCHIVAL RESEARCH PEOPLES HISTORIAN JAY JANSON, PICKS UP THE STORY OF US CRIMES IN VIETNAM HERE:]

AFTER A FAKED STORY OF N. VIETNAMESE LITTLE TORPEDO BOATS THREATENING US DESTROYERS OFF THE COAST, CONGRESS HAD PASSED THE GULF OF TONKIN RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE BOMBING OF NORTH VIETNAM. THIS BRUTAL BOMBING TOOK THOUSANDS OF LIVES OF ORDINARY VILLAGERS AND CIVILIANS IN CITIES AND WENT ON WITH OFF AND ON FEROCITY UNTIL THE US WITHDRAWAL. BETWEEN MARCH 1965 AND NOVEMBER 1968, "ROLLING THUNDER" DELUGED THE NORTH WITH A MILLION TONS OF MISSILES, ROCKETS AND BOMBS. AT ONE POINT FORMER CHIEF PROSECUTOR OF THE NUREMBERG TRIALS IN NAZI GERMANY STATED HE WOULD HAVE BEEN GLAD TO PROSECUTE THE CAPTURED SHOT DOWN AMERICAN FLYER AS WAR CRIMINALS, BUT THE INTERVIEW WAS HUSHED UP BY CBS. THE US CALLING FOR THE FREE WORLD TO PROTECT ITSELF FROM COMMUNISM DROPPED IN ALL MORE TWICE AS MUCH TONNAGE OF BOMBS ON THIS TINY RICE-GROWING INDEPENDENCE SEEKING FRENCH COLONY AS WAS DROPPED DURING ALL OF WW II IN EUROPE AND ASIA.

MEANWHILE THE SOUTHERN FREEDOM FIGHTERS ATTACKING THE OCCUPYING AMERICAN ARMED FORCES AS GUERRILLAS SECRETLY SUPPORTED BY THE POPULATION HAD GROWN FROM 5,000 IN THE 1959 REBELLION AGAINST THE AMERICAN DICTATOR DIEM TO WELL OVER AROUND 150,000 AT THE TIME KING WAS MURDERED. PRESSURED BY WASHINGTON, ITS SEATO ALLIES AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA, THAILAND, AND THE PHILIPPINES CONTRIBUTED TROOPS. A COUPLE OF MONTHS BEFORE KING WAS SHOT CAME A HUGE SURPRISE OFFENSIVE IN 100 CITIES AND TOWNS ACROSS SOUTH VIETNAM, THE CAPTURE FOR A TIME OF THE IMPERIAL CITY OF HUẾ, COMMAND HEADQUARTERS AND THE AMERICAN EMBASSY IN SAIGON. PRES. JOHNSON HALTED THE BOMBING OF THE NORTH AND AFTER THE LARGEST DEMONSTRATIONS IN D.C. ANNOUNCED HE WOULD NOT RUN FOR REELECTION.

NIXON ALTERNATELY PURSUED NEGOTIATIONS AND HEAVIER BOMBINGS THAN BEFORE. NIXON BEGAN TO PURSUE DÉTENTE WITH THE SOVIET UNION AND RAPPROCHEMENT WITH THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA. BUT NIXON WAS DISAPPOINTED THAT THE PRC AND THE SOVIET UNION CONTINUED TO SUPPLY THE NORTH VIETNAMESE WITH AID. IN SEPTEMBER 1969, HO CHI MINH DIED AT AGE SEVENTY-NINE.

THE ANTI-WAR MOVEMENT WAS GAINING STRENGTH IN THE UNITED STATES. NIXON APPEALED TO THE "SILENT MAJORITY" OF AMERICANS TO SUPPORT THE WAR. BUT REVELATIONS OF THE MY LAI MASSACRE, IN WHICH A U.S. ARMY PLATOON RAPED AND KILLED CIVILIANS, AND THE 1969 "GREEN BERET AFFAIR" WHERE EIGHT SPECIAL FORCES SOLDIERS, INCLUDING THE 5TH SPECIAL FORCES GROUP COMMANDER WERE ARRESTED FOR THE MURDER[189] OF A SUSPECTED DOUBLE AGENT[190] PROVOKED NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL OUTRAGE.
THE CIVILIAN COST OF THE WAR WAS AGAIN QUESTIONED WHEN U.S. FORCES CONCLUDED OPERATION SPEEDY EXPRESS WITH A CLAIMED BODYCOUNT OF 10,889 COMMUNIST GUERRILLAS WITH ONLY 40 U.S. LOSSES; KEVIN BUCKLEY WRITING IN NEWSWEEK ESTIMATED THAT PERHAPS 5,000 OF THE VIETNAMESE DEAD WERE CIVILIANS.

[WHEN THE US WAR CRIMINALS INVOLVED ARE POSTHUMOUSLY PROSECUTED THE LIST WILL BE ENORMOUS AND INCLUDE HUNDREDS OF MEDIA CELEBRITIES, EVEN THOUSANDS OF OTHERS, SOME HIGH CLERGY LIKE CARDINAL SPELLMAN OF NEW YORK AND OFFICIALS OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH OF US SATELLITE GOVERNMENTS WHO ORDER THEIR NATIONALS INTO VIETNAM TO KILL AND DESTROY.]

"AND SO, SUCH THOUGHTS TAKE US BEYOND VIETNAM, BUT NOT BEYOND OUR CALLING AS SONS OF THE LIVING GOD.

DURING THE PAST TEN YEARS, WE HAVE SEEN EMERGE A PATTERN OF SUPPRESSION WHICH HAS NOW JUSTIFIED THE PRESENCE OF U.S. MILITARY ADVISORS IN VENEZUELA.

4. LAOS




THE GUARDIAN, UK REPORTED THAT LAOS WAS HIT BY AN AVERAGE OF ONE B-52 BOMBLOAD EVERY EIGHT MINUTES, 24 HOURS A DAY, BETWEEN 1964 AND 1973. US BOMBERS DROPPED MORE ORDNANCE ON LAOS IN THIS PERIOD THAN WAS DROPPED DURING THE WHOLE OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR. OF THE 260 MILLION BOMBS THAT RAINED DOWN, PARTICULARLY ON XIANGKHOUANG PROVINCE ON THE PLAIN OF JARS, SOME 80 MILLION FAILED TO EXPLODE, LEAVING A DEADLY LEGACY.[16] LAOS IS THE MOST HEAVILY-BOMBED COUNTRY, PER CAPITA, IN THE WORLD. BECAUSE IT WAS PARTICULARLY HEAVILY AFFECTED BY CLUSTER BOMBS DURING THIS WAR, LAOS WAS A STRONG ADVOCATE OF THECONVENTION ON CLUSTER MUNITIONS TO BAN THE WEAPONS AND ASSIST VICTIMS, AND HOSTED THE FIRST MEETING OF STATES PARTIES TO THE CONVENTION IN NOVEMBER 2010.(THE US HAS CONSISTENTLY OPPOSED THE BAN.)

IN 1975, WITH THE WITHDRAWAL OF THE MASSIVE US ARMY, NAVY AND AIR FORCE FORM VIETNAM AND CAMBODIA AND LAOS AS WELL, THE PATHET LAO, A INTELLECTUAL MARXIST NATIONALIST INDEPENDENCE MOVEMENT BORN TO FIGHT AGAINST THE US BACKED FRENCH RESTORATION OF BRUTAL COLONIALISM IN 1949 THAT HAD BRAVELY WITHSTOOD ALL THE INEXPRESSIVELY HORRIFIC US BOMBINGS, BECAME THE GOVERNMENT OF ALL LAOS.

FOLLOWING A BRIEF JAPANESE OCCUPATION DURING WORLD WAR II, THE COUNTRY HAD DECLARED ITS INDEPENDENCE IN 1945, BUT THE FRENCH UNDER CHARLES DE GAULLE HAD RE-ASSERTED CONTROL. IN 1950 LAOS WAS GRANTED SEMI-AUTONOMY AS AN "ASSOCIATED STATE" WITHIN THE FRENCH UNION. FRANCE REMAINED IN DE FACTO CONTROL UNTIL 22 OCTOBER 1953, WHEN LAOS GAINED FULL INDEPENDENCE AS A CONSTITUTIONAL MONARCHY.]


UNDER A SPECIAL EXEMPTION TO THE GENEVA CONVENTION, A FRENCH MILITARY TRAINING MISSION CONTINUED TO SUPPORT THE FRENCH ORGANIZEDROYAL LAO ARMY. IN 1955, THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE CREATED A SPECIAL PROGRAMS EVALUATION OFFICE TO REPLACE FRENCH SUPPORT OF THE ROYAL LAO ARMY AGAINST THE COMMUNISTPATHET LAO AS PART OF THE U.S. CONTAINMENT POLICY. AMERICA'S MILITARY LEADER DURING THE WW II, LOOKED UPON AS FAIR-MINDED ORDERED THE BEGINNING OF THIS HISTORIC CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY OF BOMBING A TINY AGRICULTURAL COLONIAL POPULATION MERCILESSLY, COMMENTING THAT RETAINING CONTROL OF LAOS WAS THE KEY TO RETAINING CONTROL OF ALL SOUTH-EAST ASIA. ONCE PRESIDENTS KENNEDY AND JOHNSON BEGAN INTRODUCING MASSIVE AMOUNT OF US ARMED FORCES INTO VIETNAM, LAOS HAD ALREADY BEEN EXPERIENCING HOLOCAUST AMERICA PUT ON THE BASICALLY RURAL POPULATION OF FRENCH INDOCHINA PENINSULA.

5. CAMBODIA




CARPET BOMBING IS A LARGE AERIAL BOMBING DONE IN A PROGRESSIVE MANNER TO INFLICT DAMAGE IN EVERY PART OF A SELECTED AREA OF LAND.[1][2][3] THE PHRASE EVOKES THE IMAGE OF EXPLOSIONS COMPLETELY COVERING AN AREA, IN THE SAME WAY THAT A CARPET COVERS A FLOOR. CARPET BOMBING IS USUALLY ACHIEVED BY DROPPING MANYUNGUIDED BOMBS.




[FRONTLINE, PBS] HENRY KISSINGER PEACE MAKER OR WAR CRIMINAL

ON MARCH 18, 1969, AMERICAN B-52S BEGAN CARPET-BOMBING EASTERN CAMBODIA. "OPERATION BREAKFAST" WAS THE FIRST COURSE IN A FOUR-YEAR BOMBING CAMPAIGN THAT DREW CAMBODIA HEADLONG INTO THE VIETNAM WAR. THE NIXON ADMINISTRATION KEPT THE BOMBINGS SECRET FROM CONGRESS FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, INSISTING THEY WERE DIRECTED AGAINST LEGITIMATE VIETNAMESE AND KHMER ROUGE TARGETS. HOWEVER, THE RAIDS EXACTED AN ENORMOUS COST FROM THE CAMBODIAN PEOPLE: THE US DROPPED 540,000 TONS OF BOMBS , KILLING ANYWHERE FROM 150,000 TO 500,000 CIVILIANS.






“EXTENSIVE AIR FORCE DATA ON ALL AMERICAN BOMBINGS OF INDOCHINA BETWEEN 1964 AND 1975 REGARDING CAMBODIA IN PARTICULAR A FOLLOWS:




FROM OCTOBER 4, 1965, TO AUGUST 15, 1973, THE UNITED STATES DROPPED FAR MORE ORDNANCE ON CAMBODIA THAN WAS PREVIOUSLY BELIEVED: 2,756,941 TONS' WORTH, DROPPED IN 230,516 SORTIES ON 113,716 SITES. OVER 10 PERCENT OF THIS BOMBING WAS INDISCRIMINATE, WITH 3,580 OF THE SITES LISTED AS HAVING "UNKNOWN" TARGETS AND ANOTHER 8,238 SITES HAVING NO TARGET LISTED AT ALL THE TOTAL PAYLOAD DROPPED DURING THESE YEARS TO BE NEARLY FIVE TIMES GREATER THAN THE GENERALLY ACCEPTED FIGURE. TO PUT THE REVISED TOTAL OF 2,756,941 TONS INTO PERSPECTIVE, THE ALLIES DROPPED JUST OVER 2 MILLION TONS OF BOMBS DURING ALL OF WORLD WAR II,[CAMBODIA VIES WITH LAOS AS THE MOST HEAVILY BOMBED COUNTRY IN HISTORY.] THE BOMBING DROVE ORDINARY CAMBODIANS INTO THE ARMS OF THE KHMER ROUGE, A GROUP THAT SEEMED INITIALLY TO HAVE SLIM PROSPECTS OF REVOLUTIONARY SUCCESS.[*]




NIXON HAD COMMANDED THAT, "THEY [THE USAF] HAVE GOT TO GO IN THERE AND I MEAN REALLY GO IN . . . I WANT EVERYTHING THAT CAN FLY TO GO IN THERE AND CRACK THE HELL OUT OF THEM. THERE IS NO LIMITATION ON MILEAGE AND THERE IS NO LIMITATION ON BUDGET. IS THAT CLEAR?"[*] TAYLOR OWEN AND YALE'S BEN KIERNAN CLAIM THAT, "PREVIOUSLY, IT WAS ESTIMATED THAT BETWEEN 50,000 AND 150,000 CAMBODIAN CIVILIANS WERE KILLED BY THE BOMBING, BUR THE DATABASE REVEALED FIVEFOLD INCREASE IN TONNAGE,” WHICH WOULD BRING THE NUMBER OF CASUALTIES TO HAVE BEEN BETWEEN 250,000 AND 750,000. [*]




AS THE VIETNAM WAR ENDED, A DRAFT USAID REPORT OBSERVED THAT THE COUNTRY FACED FAMINE IN 1975, WITH 75% OF ITS DRAFT ANIMALS DESTROYED, AND THAT RICE PLANTING FOR THE NEXT HARVEST WOULD HAVE TO BE DONE "BY THE HARD LABOUR OF SERIOUSLY MALNOURISHED PEOPLE". THE REPORT PREDICTED THAT




"WITHOUT LARGE-SCALE EXTERNAL FOOD AND EQUIPMENT ASSISTANCE THERE WILL BE WIDESPREAD STARVATION BETWEEN NOW AND NEXT FEBRUARY ... SLAVE LABOUR AND STARVATION RATIONS FOR HALF THE NATION'S PEOPLE (PROBABLY HEAVIEST AMONG THOSE WHO SUPPORTED THE REPUBLIC) WILL BE A CRUEL NECESSITY FOR THIS YEAR, AND GENERAL DEPRIVATION AND SUFFERING WILL STRETCH OVER THE NEXT TWO OR THREE YEARS BEFORE CAMBODIA CAN GET BACK TO RICE SELF-SUFFICIENCY" [ SHAWCROSS, WILLIAM (1987).SIDESHOW: KISSINGER, NIXON AND THE DESTRUCTION OF CAMBODIA,: TOUCHSTONE. OVERVIEW:

ALTHOUGH THERE ARE MANY BOOKS AND FILMS DEALING WITH THE VIETNAM WAR, SIDESHOW TELLS THE TRUTH ABOUT AMERICA'S SECRET AND ILLEGAL WAR WITH CAMBODIA FROM 1969 TO 1973. WILLIAM SHAWCROSS INTERVIEWED HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE OF ALL NATIONALITIES, INCLUDING CABINET MINISTERS, MILITARY MEN, AND CIVIL SERVANTS, AND EXTENSIVELY RESEARCHED U.S. GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS. THIS FULL-SCALE INVESTIGATION—WITH MATERIAL NEW TO THIS EDITION—EXPOSES HOW KISSINGER AND NIXON TREATED CAMBODIA AS A SIDESHOW. ALTHOUGH THE PRESIDENT AND HIS ASSISTANT CLAIMED THAT A SECRET BOMBING CAMPAIGN IN CAMBODIA WAS NECESSARY TO ELIMINATE NORTH VIETNAMESE SOLDIERS WHO WERE ATTACKING AMERICAN TROOPS ACROSS THE BORDER, SHAWCROSS MAINTAINS THAT THE BOMBINGS ONLY SPREAD THE CONFLICT ]

[LOOKING BACK], AS THE VIETNAM WAR HAD PROGRESSED, SIHANOUK HAD ADOPTED AN OFFICIAL POLICY OF NEUTRALITY IN THE COLD WAR, ALTHOUGH HE WAS WIDELY CONSIDERED TO BE SYMPATHETIC TO THE CAUSE OF THE HO CHI MINH LED VIETNAMESE FIGHTING US AND FRENCH IMPERIALISM. SIHANOUK ALLOWED THE WESTERN LABELED

VIETCONG TO USE CAMBODIA AS A SANCTUARY AND A SUPPLY ROUTE FOR THEIR ARMS AND OTHER AID TO THEIR ARMED FORCES FIGHTING IN SOUTH VIETNAM. POSSIBLE FOR THIS POLICY BEING PERCEIVED A HUMILIATING BY MANY CAMBODIANS REMEMBERING EARLIER VIET/THAI DOMINATION OF CAMBODIA, IN DECEMBER 1967 WASHINGTON POST JOURNALIST STANLEY KARNOW HAD BEEN TOLD BY SIHANOUK THAT IF THE US WANTED TO BOMB THE VIETNAMESE COMMUNIST SANCTUARIES, HE WOULD NOT OBJECT, UNLESS CAMBODIANS WERE KILLED.[30] THE SAME MESSAGE WAS CONVEYED TO US PRESIDENT JOHNSON'S EMISSARY CHESTER BOWLES IN JANUARY 1968.[31] SO HIS BALANCING ACT, THE US HAD HAD NO REAL MOTIVATION TO OVERTHROW SIHANOUK YET. HOWEVER MEMBERS OF THE GOVERNMENT AND ARMY, WHO RESENTED SIHANOUK'S RULING STYLE AS WELL AS HIS TILT AWAY FROM THE UNITED STATES, DID HAVE SUCH A MOTIVATION. BUT WHEN IT BECAME CONVENIENT FOR THE CIA, WHILE VISITING BEIJING IN 1970 SIHANOUK WAS OUSTED BY A MILITARY COUP LED BY PRIME MINISTER GENERAL LON NOL AND PRINCE SISOWATHSIRIK MATAK. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF ANY US ROLE IN THE COUP. HOWEVER ONCE THE COUP WAS COMPLETED THE NEW REGIME, WHICH IMMEDIATELY DEMANDED THAT THE VIETNAMESE COMMUNISTS LEAVE CAMBODIA, GAINED THE POLITICAL SUPPORT OF THE UNITED STATES. THE NORTH VIETNAMESE AND VIET CONG FORCES, DESPERATE TO RETAIN THEIR SANCTUARIES AND SUPPLY LINES FROM NORTH VIETNAM, IMMEDIATELY CAME UNDER ARMED ATTACKS ON THE NEW GOVERNMENT. THE KING URGED HIS FOLLOWERS TO HELP IN OVERTHROWING THIS GOVERNMENT, HASTENING THE ONSET OF CIVIL WAR, THAT LASTED FROM 1970 UNTIL EARLY 1972, WITH THE KHMER ROUGEREBELS HAVING THE OUSTED KING'S SUPPORT. HOWEVER FROM 1970 UNTIL EARLY 1972 THE CAMBODIAN CONFLICT WAS LARGELY ONE BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENT AND ARMY OF CAMBODIA, AND THE ARMED FORCES OF NORTH VIETNAM. AS THEY GAINED CONTROL OF CAMBODIAN TERRITORY THE VIETNAMESE COMMUNISTS IMPOSED A NEW POLITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE, WHICH WAS EVENTUALLY DOMINATED BY THE CAMBODIAN COMMUNISTS WE NOW REFER TO AS THE KHMER ROUGE.[33] SO THE VIETNAMESE COMMUNISTS PLAYED A VITAL ROLE IN THE RISE OF THE KHMER ROUGE.

7. LIBYA





THERE WAS NO LIBYAN PEACEFUL PROTEST,
JUST MURDEROUS GANGS AND NIC ROBERTSON

BY JAY JANSON

16 JUNE, 2011
COUNTERCURRENTS.ORG

NIC ROBERTSON AND ANDERSON COOPER ARE SURELY AWARE OF THEIR ACHIEVEMENT IN PROMOTING THE HUMAN CARNAGE OF CIVIL WAR AND THE DESTRUCTION OF A BEAUTIFULLY WELL-KEPT AND PROSPEROUS NATION, THE 53RD HIGHEST DEVELOPED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD WITH FREE HEALTH CARE AND EDUCATION. A STANDARD OF LIVING THAT WAS HIGHER THAN NINE EUROPEAN NATIONS, INCLUDING RUSSIA, IS NO MORE, THANKS TO THEIR HAVING DAILY LED OUR ENTERTAINMENT WITH THEIR WAR MONGERING OF PURPOSELY DISTORTED REPORTING, MISREPORTING, DISINFORMATION, AND BLACKING OUT OF INFORMATION THAT WOULD HAVE MADE THIS MASSIVE LOSS OF HUMAN LIFE IMPOSSIBLE. THEY'LL NOT BE ABLE TO WASH THIS OFF THEIR CONSCIENCE.

1. THERE WERE NO PEACEFUL PROTESTS!

2. CNN, COVERING THE DANISH CARTOONS ANNIVERSARY DEMONSTRATION THAT WAS COOPED WITH AN ANNOUNCEMENT FROM LONDON TO MAKE IT INTO A "DAY OF RAGE AGAINST LIBYAN LEADER GADDAFI,' SHOWED US CAMERA PANNING OF A MODEST SIZE CROWD (MOSTLY MEN) JUMPING UP AND DOWN SHOUTING AGAINST GADDAFI (NOT AGAINST LIBYA'S HIGH STANDARD OF LIVING).

3. THERE WERE ARMED ATTACKS ON POLICE STATIONS (EVEN TRAFFIC POLICE) AND VICIOUS ATTACKS ON CHINESE AND KOREA CONSTRUCTION WORKERS ALREADY TWO DAYS BEFORE, AND DURING THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE DANISH CARTOONS OR "DAY OF RAGE,' EXECUTIONS OF 50 CAPTURED LIBYAN SOLDIERS, ONE BEHEADED, SOME HUNG ALONG WITH POLICE OFFICERS. AND WHO KNOWS HOW MANY ORDINARY LIBYAN CIVILIANS HARMED BY TOUGH GUYS BROUGHT IN TO BENGHAZI AND OTHER CYRENAICAN TOWNS. THIS WAS REPORTED BY REUTERS AND BBC, BUT NOT CNN.

4. CNN SHOWED A VIDEO OF A SMALL AMOUNT OF PEOPLE SCATTERING, RUNNING AT TWILIGHT, CELL PHONE CAMERA JERKING AROUND IN CONFUSION WITH THE SOUND OF SHOOTING FROM COMPLETELY UNIDENTIFIED SOURCES. THERE WAS ANDERSON COOPER AND NIC ROBERTSON CRYING OUT THAT "GADDAFI', WAS "TARGETING, SHOOTING, BOMBING HIS OWN PEOPLE WHO ONLY WANT DEMOCRACY. AT THE SAME TIME A FLOOD OF ANTI GADDAFI REPORTS WERE COMING IN FROM WELL FUNDED LIBYAN EXILE BACKERS IN VARIOUS COUNTRIES.

5. IMAGINE! ON FEB. 21 A BARE FOUR DAYS AFTER THE OVERSEAS CALLS FOR "DAY OF RAGE' U.S. MEDIA'S UK COUNTERPART, THE TELEGRAPH REPORTED THAT " THE INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION FOR HUMAN RIGHTS SAID LIBYA'S SECOND CITY ALONG WITH SIRTE, TOBRUK, MISRATA, KHOMS, TARHOUNAH, ZENTEN, AL-ZAWIYA AND ZOUARA HAD ALL BEEN TAKEN BY PROTESTERS. "PROTESTERS?" WE WERE GIVEN TO SEE THESE TOUGH HOMBRE HEAVILY ARMED "FREEDOM FIGHTERS' IN THEIR FLEETS OF PICKUP TRUCKS LOOKING NOTHING AT ALL LIKE PROTESTERS.

6. WHILE, VERY QUICKLY, HEAVILY ARMED INSURGENT GANGS, ALWAYS DESCRIBED AS "ORDINARY CITIZENS WHO HAD DROPPED THEIR OFFICE JOBS A FEW DAYS BEFORE TO FIGHT FOR FREEDOM,' WERE EFFICIENTLY OVERRUNNING TOWNS AND AIRPORTS, COOPER AND ROBERTSON KEPT EXCITEDLY EXCLAIMING CITIES WERE BEING BOMBED FROM THE AIR - CIVILIANS TARGETED - SHOWING VIEWERS THE SAME SINGLE BOMB CRATER IN A FIELD OUTSIDE OF A TOWN FOR FIVE DAYS RUNNING AS PROOF, THOUGH ODDLY ADMITTING NO ONE HAD BEEN INJURED.

7. CNN AND NY TIMES HAVE NEVER REPORTED THAT LIBYA, AS OPPOSED TO DESPERATELY POOR EGYPT AND YEMEN ENJOYS A HIGHER STANDARD OF LIVING THAN NINE EUROPEAN NATIONS INCLUDING RUSSIA. RATHER, THEY CONTINUE EMPHASIZING WESTERN MEDIA CONDEMNATION OF GADDAFI OVER HIS ENTIRE FOUR DECADES OF LEADERSHIP OF LIBYA AND THE MOVEMENT FOR AFRICAN UNION.

8. IN LESS THAN 2 WEEKS CAME OBAMA'S EXECUTIVE ORDERS FREEZING LIBYAN ACCOUNTS OR CONFISCATING LIBYAN ACCOUNTS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR EVENTUAL USE BY INSURGENTS. EVEN EARLIER BEGAN THE THREATS FROM INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTIONS BEHOLDEN TO U.S. AND NATO, AND OPEN SPECULATION BY THE SAME COALITION OF FORMER COLONIAL POWERS THAT HAD ONCE CONQUERED AND RULED THE ENTIRE NON-WHITE WORLD FOR CENTURIES, OF MILITARY ACTION AGAINST "GADDAFI' (THAT WOULD ADD A SIXTH MUSLIM NATION TO ITS BOMBING LIST OF AFGHANISTAN, IRAQ, SOMALIA, YEMEN AND PAKISTAN.

9. THEN CAME THE SUCCESSFUL PRESSURING OF CHINA AND RUSSIA NOT TO VETO A U.S. NATO ATTACK ON LIBYA IN FAVOR OF THE INSURGENT ARMY (ALMOST OPENLY LED AND FUNDED BY CIA, M16, MOSSAD AND THE FRENCH SECRET SERVICE) UNDER THE PRETEXT OF PROTECTING THE LIBYAN POPULATION FROM ITS OWN GOVERNMENT (NEVER REFERRED TO A AN INDEPENDENT NATION, BUT AS "GADDAFI" OR "THE GADDAFI REGIME). A UN "SECURITY COUNCIL' RESOLUTION WAS PASSED, BUT NEVER MEANT TO PROTECT LIBYANS FROM A BRUTAL FOREIGN FUNDED INSURGENT ARMY CALLING FOR WARPLANES OF THE FORMER EUROPEAN OCCUPIERS OF NORTH AFRICA TO BOMB THEIR OWN COUNTRYMEN AND NATION. DURING ALL THE MONTHS FOLLOWING, CNN WOULD HAVE US BELIEVE THE ATTACKING INSURGENTS NEVER KILLED ANYONE, WHILE HAMMERING IN THE GADDAFI MONSTER THEME.

10. ALL THIS DECEPTION WAS PREPARED OVER DECADES OF RABID MEDIA ATTACKS ON GADDAFI, THE ANTI-IMPERIALIST, THE "MAD DOG' OF REAGAN AND SECRETARY CLINTON, AND THEN WITH CLAIMS THAT LIBYA WAS HAVING JUST ANOTHER REVOLUTION LIKE THOSE AGAINST THE MANY U.S. SUPPORTED DICTATORS OF ARAB NATIONS. WAR ON LIBYAN WAS ACCEPTED BY THE AMERICAN PUBLIC IN THE SAME WAY THE PUBLIC HAD ACCEPTED COVERT VIOLENCE AND WAR TO PROTECT GUATEMALANS, CONGOLESE, DOMINICANS, CUBANS, PANAMANIANS, NICARAGUANS, CHILEANS AND HONDURANS FROM THEIR PRESIDENTS, WARS TO PROTECT KOREANS FROM OTHER KOREANS, VIETNAMESE FROM VIETNAMESE, LAOTIANS FROM LAOTIANS, CAMBODIANS FROM CAMBODIANS, LEBANESE FROM LEBANESE, AFGHANS FROM AFGHANS, IRAQIS FROM IRAQIS, SOMALIS FROM SOMALIS, YEMENI FROM YEMENI, GRENADIANS FROM GRENADIANS, SALVADORIANS FROM SALVADORIANS, YUGOSLAVS FROM YUGOSLAVS, IRANIANS FROM IRANIANS, HAITIANS FROM HAITIANS, AND PAKISTANIS FROM PAKISTANIS. BY THIS TIME EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE U.S. PROTECTION RACKET, BUT COUNT ON INNOVATION BY CIA, CNN AND THE NY TIMES TO MAKE A SEEMINGLY IRONCLAD CASE IN FAVOR OF EACH NEW U.S. EU CANADIAN AUSTRALIAN WAR COALITION.

OBAMA, WHOSE WORDS, ACCEPTED AS THE ALMIGHTY HIMSELF SPEAKING WHEN IT COMES TO PROTECTING THE U.S. FROM THE OUTSIDE WORLD, KEEPS ANNOUNCING GADDAFI MUST GO UNCONDITIONALLY. OBAMA'S REASON FOR BOMBING A SIXTH MUSLIM NATION? NOT TO PROTECT AMERICANS FROM TERRORISM, BUT TO PREVENT GADDAFI FROM MASSACRING HIS OWN PEOPLE. SO SUSPICIOUSLY CARING OF A NOBEL PEACE PRIZE PRESIDENT NONCHALANTLY ORDERING THE TAKING OF THOUSANDS OF LIVES IN A HALF DOZEN OTHER MUSLIM NATIONS IN ORDER TO PROTECT INVADING AMERICAN SOLDIERS AND AMERICANS AT HOME.

THIS LATEST WAR WOULD SEEM FAR FETCHED, BUT FOR CNN BOLDLY LEADING ENOUGH OF THE REST OF CORPORATE OWNED WESTERN MEDIA IN PUBLIC DECEPTION WITH REPEATING WAR-JUSTIFYING SOUND-BITES COLORED BY ALMOST OBVIOUS PSYOPS OF "NOW YOU SEE IT, NOW YOU DON'T' FILM SHOTS.

NO ONE, IN REACTION, IS ALLOWED TO FLINCH, AS THE AUGUSTLY AT HOME WITH HIMSELF SELF-RIGHTEOUS PRESIDENT FEELS SOMEHOW NECESSARY TO TOP OFF HIS CHARGE OF GADDAFI THE MAD MASSACRER OF HIS OWN PEOPLE, BY DRAMATICALLY THROWING IN MENTION OF A WOMAN CLAIMING TO WESTERN REPORTERS IN TRIPOLI THAT SHE WAS RAPED BY LIBYAN SOLDIERS. (THE BLACK WORKER WHO TOLD REUTERS OF HIS WIFE BEING RAPED BEFORE HIM BY REBELS IS A NON-HAPPENING FOR COOPER AND ROBERTSON WHO WITH GREAT SHOW OF COMPASSION PROMOTED THE TRIPOLI WOMAN'S FASCINATING CHARGE FOR A WHOLE WEEK OF PRIME TIME SEX ENTERTAINMENT WHILE THOSE BRITISH AND FRENCH PARAGONS OF VIRTUE WERE BOMBING TO CLEAR THE WAY FOR AN INSURGENT ARMY ADVANCE.

WHEN IT CAME THE TURN OF THE U.S. NATO CONTROLLED INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT TO CONDEMN GADDAFI FOR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY (SOMETHING NO EX-COLONIAL POWER HAS EVER BEEN INDICTED FOR), "PROSECUTOR MORENO-OCAMPO SAID THERE WAS EVIDENCE THAT THE LIBYAN AUTHORITIES BOUGHT "VIAGRA-TYPE' MEDICINES AND GAVE THEM TO TROOPS AS PART OF THE OFFICIAL RAPE POLICY. "THEY WERE BUYING CONTAINERS TO ENHANCE THE POSSIBILITY TO RAPE WOMEN', HE SAID. 'WE HAD DOUBTS AT THE BEGINNING BUT NOW WE ARE MORE CONVINCED THAT HE DECIDED TO PUNISH USING RAPES', THE PROSECUTOR SAID. HE TOLD REPORTERS AT THE UN IN NEW YORK THAT HE HAD COLLECTED EVIDENCE SUGGESTING THE LIBYAN LEADER HAD DECIDED TO PUNISH WOMEN BY USING RAPE AS A WEAPON IN THE HOPE THAT IT WOULD INSTILL FEAR AND CURB DISSENT. IN MARCH, A LIBYAN WOMAN, EMAN AL-OBEIDI, MADE HEADLINES AROUND THE WORLD AFTER SHE BURST INTO A TRIPOLI HOTEL AND SAID SHE HAD BEEN RAPED BY GADDAFI'S TROOPS.

IMAGINE! OBAMA AND THE ICC, TO JUSTIFY TAKING LIBYAN LIVES TO PROTECT OTHER LIBYANS FROM A MASS MURDERER, SEE THE NECESSITY TO INCLUDE FREAKY UNSUBSTANTIATED SEX ACCUSATIONS. DO THEY TAKE US ALL FOR ABSOLUTE FOOLS? - WHILE THEY PLAY CIVIL WAR ON A WHOLE NATION OUT OF THE GOODNESS OF THEIR HEARTS? IS IT THAT RICH AND POWERFUL WHITE FOLKS PLAN TO RULE THE THE REST OF THE WORLD FOR ANOTHER COUPLE OF CENTURIES? THIS ICC HAS ONLY OPENED SIX INVESTIGATIONS, ALL SIX ON AFRICAN NATIONS. THE LIBYAN GOVERNMENT DISMISSED THE COMPLAINT OF THE ICC, "A BABY OF THE EU DESIGNED FOR PROSECUTING AFRICAN LEADERS."

11. U.S. TREASURY ESTIMATED THERE ARE 44 TONES OF GOLD IN THE 100% STATE OWNED BANK OF LIBYA CURRENTLY MINTING GOLD DINARS TO REPLACE TRADING IN DOLLARS AND EUROS. THIS MUST HAVE BEEN THE REASON TO HURRY AN INVASION OF LIBYA (APART FROM ITS LARGEST OIL RESERVES IN AFRICA THAT WERE THEN EXPORTING MOSTLY TO CHINA). WE MIGHT ASK OURSELVES: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A "ROGUE" COUNTRY THREATENS TO BRING THE BANKING SYSTEM THAT BENEFITS THE CORPORATOCRACY TO ITS KNEES? (SEE ARTICLE BY REAGAN ECONOMIST PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS QUOTED FURTHER ON).

13. DOCUMENTED HERE BELOW ARE REPORTS OF INSURGENT ACTS OF HORROR - MOSTLY BY NON-U.S MEDIA. THE READER IS ENCOURAGED TO CHECK FOR HIMSELF OR HERSELF WHAT EXACTLY WAS REPORTED BY ALL THE WORLD'S MAJOR PRINT NEWS OUTLETS FROM FEB. 15TH ONWARD IN TERMS OF NUMBER OF CASUALTIES FOR BOTH SIDES, AND TO VIEW WHATEVER VIDEOS ARE OFFERED AS PROOF THAT LIBYAN POLICE, SECURITY, SOLDIERS TARGETED CIVILIANS PEACEFULLY PROTESTING. THE INTERNET, GOOGLE AND YOUTUBE HAVE OF COURSE A GREAT DEAL OF MATERIAL EMPHASIZING MAINSTREAM ANTI-GADDAFI ACCUSATIONS AND PRAISE FOR THE REBEL ATTACKS ON THE GOVERNMENT, BUT MUCH CAN BE LEARNED FROM ONE'S FAILING TO FIND VERIFIED THAT WHICH CNN, THE OTHER FIVE U.S. NETWORKS, AND U.S. PRINT MEDIA HAVE PUT OUT, ESPECIALLY TO JUSTIFY BIG POWER MILITARY INTERVENTION AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT OF LIBYA, ALWAYS REFERRED TO AS "GADDAFI" OR "THE GADDAFI REGIME"

ON TV, WE DIDN'T SEE PLANES AND TANKS "UNLEASHED" UNTIL TRUCK LOADS OF HEAVILY ARMED REBELS WERE WELL ON THE ROAD TOWARD TRIPOLI. ONE DOES REMEMBER TWO PLANES DEFECTING TO MALTA, TWO OTHERS FALLING OUT OF THE SKY, ONE SHOT DOWN OVER THE OCEAN. BUT NO PICTURES OF PLANES BOMBING PROTESTERS; NO PROOF THAT ORDERS WERE GIVEN TO DO SO. GADDAFI, HAS THROUGHOUT BEEN CALLING FOR AN INTERNATIONAL INVESTIGATION OF HAPPENINGS EVERYWHERE IN LIBYA, BY THE UN OR ANY OTHER WESTERN POWER TO ASCERTAIN EXACTLY WHO HAS BEEN SHOOTING WHO WHILE WESTERN MEDIA ACCUSES ONLY HIM AND HIS GOVERNMENT? THOUGH OBVIOUSLY, CAUGHT UNAWARES DURING THE FIRST DAYS OF THE POWER GRAB, HE HAS REPEATEDLY OFFERED TO MEET WITH THE REBEL LEADERSHIP, AND DID NOT TRY TO RETAKE THE REBEL CAPTURED CITIES UNTIL REBEL ARMIES WERE WELL DOWN THE ROAD TOWARD TRIPOLI.

ON THE FIRST DAY, FEB. 15, REUTERS REPORTED GROUPS OF PROTESTERS ATTACKING POLICE STATIONS, NO DEATHS, 60 INJURED.

THE NEXT DAY, FEB. 16, REUTERS REPORTED, ALONG WITH IMMEDIATELY CREATED REBEL MEDIA, 6 DEAD WHEN MOBS OF MORE THAN A HUNDRED EACH ATTACKED MORE POLICE STATIONS IN VARIOUS TOWNS.

FEB. 17TH, DURING WHAT WAS TO BE AN ANNIVERSARY DEMONSTRATION FOR THE INTERNATIONAL BLOODY PROTESTS AGAINST THE DANISH CARTOONS THAT INSULTED THE PROPHET, WHICH UPON DECLARATIONS FROM LONDON EXILES PEOPLE WERE TO MAKE IT INTO "A DAY OF RAGE' AGAINST LIBYAN LEADER GADDAFI, THE EVENING STANDARD AND AL JAZEERA ENGLISH ESTIMATED THAT FOURTEEN PEOPLE WERE KILLED. REUTERS, BBC AND OPPOSITION MEDIA REPORTED 14 OR 15 DEAD.

BUT AFTER OVERNIGHT PROTESTS, THE FOLLOWING DAY,

18 FEBRUARY 2011, GUARDIAN.CO.UK , IAN BLACK AND OWEN BOWCOTT REPORTED: "AMER SAAD, A POLITICAL ACTIVIST FROM DERNA, TOLD AL-JAZEERA: "THE PROTESTERS IN AL-BAYDA HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SEIZE CONTROL OF THE MILITARY AIRBASE IN THE CITY AND HAVE EXECUTED 50 AFRICAN "MERCENARIES' AND TWO LIBYAN CONSPIRATORS. EVEN IN DERNA TODAY, A NUMBER OF CONSPIRATORS [LOYAL CITIZENS] WERE EXECUTED. THEY WERE LOCKED UP IN THE HOLDING CELLS OF A POLICE STATION BECAUSE THEY RESISTED, AND SOME DIED BURNING INSIDE THE BUILDING."

REUTERS 7:03 PM REPORTED THAT " HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH [BASED ON FIFTH AVENUE< NEW YORK] SAID THAT ACCORDING TO ITS SOURCES INSIDE LIBYA, SECURITY FORCES KILLED AT LEAST 24 PEOPLE IN CRACKDOWNS ON PROTESTS". IOL NEWS OF SOUTH AFRICA , REPORTED DOZENS KILLED BY SECURITY FORCES. [SO AT THIS POINT IN OUR RESEARCH LOYALISTS DEATHS OUTNUMBER ALL CIVILIAN DEATH ON BOTH SIDES BY 2 TO 1.]

"HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH SHORTLY AFTER SENT SOMEONE TO THE EAST OF LIBYA, AND THERE HE FOUND OUT THAT ALL THE 156 CAPTURED PEOPLE, WHICH THE REBELS DESCRIBED AS "AFRICAN MERCENARIES", WERE IN FACT NOT FOREIGN MERCENARIES, BUT LIBYANS WITH BLACK SKIN COLOR, AND THAT THEY SERVED AS REGULAR SOLDIERS IN THE ARMY OF LIBYA. HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH FOUND NO INDICATION THAT THE LIBYAN GOVERNMENT, AS CLAIMED BY THE REBELS, USED MERCENARIES AT ALL TO QUELL THE UPRISING IN EASTERN LIBYA.

THE ACTUALLY EXISTING STRONG SUPPORT FOR MUAMMAR GADDAFI BY BLACK-SKINNED LIBYANS HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH EXPLAINED WITH THE FACT THAT MUAMMAR GADDAFI DID A LOT IN THE PAST TO END THE DISCRIMINATION AGAINST BLACK PEOPLE IN LIBYA. SO IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE THAT THE REBELS HUNTED BLACK-SKINNED PEOPLE AND, REGARDLESS WHETHER THEY WERE LIBYAN SOLDIERS OR FOREIGN REFUGEES OF POVERTY, EXECUTED THEM AS A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE IF POSSIBLE." THE BRITISH GUARDIAN REPORTED FROM BENGHAZI

ON FEBRUARY 24TH, SHORTLY AFTER THE BEGINNING BRITISH TELEGRAPH ALREADY REPORTED SOME MORE DETAILS REGARDING THE OBSERVANCE OF HUMAN RIGHTS BY THE NATO-BACKED GOVERNMENT OPPONENTS IN THE EAST OF LIBYA:
"AHMED AHMED IBRAHIM SHOWED VIDEO FOOTAGE HE HAD CAPTURED ON HIS MOBILE TELEPHONE OF AN AFRICAN MERCENARY HANGING FROM A MEAT-HOOK IN AN AL BAYDA DOORWAY. " MASQUERADING AS PRO-GADDAFI PARTISANS, THEY DUPED THE MERCENARIES, WHO WERE DESCRIBED AS FRENCH-SPEAKING AFRICANS, CAPTURED THEM AND THEN DRAGGED THEM INTO THE STREETS OF AL BAYDA " MR. IBRAHIM, WHO WORKS IN A CAFE, SAID HE BELIEVES MOST WERE EXECUTED ALTHOUGH HE ONLY WITNESSED TWO SLAIN FOREIGNERS."

THE CRITERION "AFRICAN" HERE DOES NOT REFER -- OF COURSE, BECAUSE ALL LIBYANS ARE AFRICANS -- TO AN AFRICAN ORIGIN, BUT TO THE COLOR OF THE SKIN: "AFRICAN" HERE MEANS PEOPLE WITH BLACK SKIN. WHAT THE TELEGRAPH DESCRIBED IS APPLIED TO PEOPLE WITH BLACK SKIN, WHICH THE CIA-BACKED "REBELS" HAD IDENTIFIED AS "FOREIGN MERCENARIES.

BEFORE HE COULD SAY MUCH MORE, A PAIR OF GUARDS TOLD HIM TO SHUT UP AND HUSTLED HIM THROUGH THE STEEL DOORS OF A CELL BLOCK, WHICH QUICKLY SLAMMED BEHIND THEM."

LIBYA: REBELS EXECUTE BLACK IMMIGRANTS WHILE FORCES KIDNAP OTHERS
SOMALILANDPRESS , SOMALIA
ADDIS ABABA -- "HUMAN RIGHT GROUPS SAY REBELS ARE COMMITTING CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY."

IN EAST LIBYA, AFRICAN HUNT BEGAN AS TOWNS AND CITIES BEGAN FALL UNDER THE CONTROL OF LIBYAN REBELS, MOBS AND GANGS. THEY STARTED TO DETAIN, INSULT, RAPE AND EVEN EXECUTE BLACK IMMIGRANTS, STUDENTS AND REFUGEES.

ACCORDING TO SOMALI REFUGEES IN LIBYA, AT LEAST FIVE SOMALIS FROM SOMALILAND AND SOMALIA WERE EXECUTED IN TRIPOLI AND BENGHAZI BY ANTI-GADDAFI MOBS. DOZENS OF REFUGEES AND IMMIGRANTS WORKERS FROM ETHIOPIA, ERITREA, GHANA, NIGERIA, CHAD, MALI AND NIGER HAVE BEEN KILLED, SOME OF THEM WERE LED INTO THE DESERT AND STABBED TO DEATH. BLACK LIBYAN MEN RECEIVING MEDICAL CARE IN HOSPITALS IN BENGHAZI WERE REPORTEDLY ABDUCTED BY ARMED REBELS. THEY ARE PART OF MORE THAN 200 AFRICAN IMMIGRANTS HELD IN SECRET LOCATIONS BY THE REBELS.

IN MANY DISPUTES INVOLVING LIBYAN RESIDENTS AND BLACK AFRICANS, THE LIBYANS ARE TURNING IN THE AFRICANS AS MERCENARIES.

THOUSANDS MORE AFRICANS CAUGHT UP IN THIS MERCENARY HYSTERIA ARE TERRIFIED. SOME BARRICADED THEMSELVES IN THEIR HOMES, WHILE OTHERS HID IN THE DESERT. INSULTED, THREATENED, BEATEN, CHASED AND ROBBED. THEIR ONLY CRIME WAS BEING BLACK AND THEREFORE TREATED AS "MERCENARIES" OF GADDAFI.

WHILE THE AIRING OF GADDAFI'S SO CALLED "BLACK MERCENARIES" BY WESTERN MEDIA HAS IGNITED THE ISSUE, SOME SAY AN XENOPHOBIC ATTITUDE TOWARDS THESE REFUGEES AND LABOURERS HAS EXISTED FOR YEARS.... IN MANY SITUATIONS, GADDAFI AND HIS INNER CIRCLE PREFERRED BLACK AFRICANS AND LIBYANS FROM THE SOUTH OVER LIBYANS FROM THE EAST. NOW THE ANGRY MOBS USING THE REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT ACROSS ARABIA AND NORTH AFRICA ARE HUNTING DOWN BLACK PEOPLE."

LIBYA REBELS: GADDAFI COULD BE RIGHT ABOUT AL-QAEDA - THE FIRST POST
MAR 24, 2011 ... GADDAFI MAY HAVE BEEN RIGHT WHEN HE IDENTIFIED HIS OPPONENTS AS AL-QAEDA, SAYS ALEXANDER COCKBURN.

THE WEST POINT ANALYSTS' STATISTICAL STUDY OF THE AL-QAEDA PERSONNEL RECORDS CONCLUDES THAT ONE COUNTRY PROVIDED "FAR MORE" FOREIGN FIGHTERS IN PER CAPITA TERMS THAN ANY OTHER: NAMELY, LIBYA.
THE RECORDS SHOW THAT THE "VAST MAJORITY OF LIBYAN FIGHTERS THAT INCLUDED THEIR HOME TOWN IN THE SINJAR RECORDS RESIDED IN THE COUNTRY'S NORTHEAST". BENGHAZI PROVIDED MANY VOLUNTEERS. SO DID DERNAH, A TOWN ABOUT 200 KMS EAST OF BENGHAZI, IN WHICH AN ISLAMIC EMIRATE WAS DECLARED WHEN THE REBELLION AGAINST GADDAFI STARTED.

LIBYAN, ONCE A DETAINEE, IS NOW A U.S. ALLY OF SORTS
BY ROD NORDLAND AND SCOTT SHANE NY TIMES, 4/24/11

DARNAH, LIBYA -- "FOR MORE THAN FIVE YEARS, ABU SUFIAN IBRAHIM AHMED HAMUDA BIN QUMU WAS A PRISONER AT THE GUANTÁNAMO BAY PRISON, JUDGED "A PROBABLE MEMBER OF AL QAEDA" BY THE ANALYSTS THERE.

TODAY, MR. QUMU, 51, IS A NOTABLE FIGURE IN THE LIBYAN REBELS
" "HE WAS KNOWN AS ONE OF THE EXTREMIST COMMANDERS OF THE AFGHAN ARABS,' "

WHEN THAT GUANTÁNAMO ASSESSMENT WAS WRITTEN, THE UNITED STATES WAS WORKING CLOSELY WITH COLONEL QADDAFI'S INTELLIGENCE SERVICE AGAINST TERRORISM. NOW, THE UNITED STATES ... IS BACKING WITH AIR POWER THE REBELS, INCLUDING MR. QUMU.

LIBYA: WIKILEAKS CABLES WARN OF EXTREMIST BELIEFS BY HEIDI BLAKE

"LEAKED DIPLOMATIC CABLES OBTAINED BY THE WIKILEAKS DISCLOSE FEARS THAT EASTERN LIBYA IS BEING OVERRUN BY EXTREMISTS INTENT ON OVERTHROWING COLONEL GADDAFI'S REGIME.
(FOR BENGHAZI BEING THE CLOSES AFRICAN PORT TO ITALY, IT HAS APPARENTLY BECOME A CRIME CENTER FOR THE LUCRATIVE HUMAN TRAFFIC TRADE WITH A LOT OF THUGS IN TOWN.)

THE REVOLT STARTED IN BENGHAZI IN EASTERN LIBYA. A VERY IMPORTANT POINT NOT MENTIONED ANYWHERE IN THE INTERNATIONAL MEDIA IS THE FACT THAT DUE TO GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION, BEING ONE OF THE CLOSEST POINT TO EUROPE FROM THE AFRICAN CONTINENT, BENGHAZI HAS OVER THE PAST 15 YEARS OR SO BECOME THE EPICENTER OF AFRICAN MIGRATION TO EUROPE. THE HUMAN TRAFFICKING INDUSTRY, GREW INTO A BILLION DOLLAR A YEAR INDUSTRY IN BENGHAZI. WHEN THE FIRST DEMONSTRATIONS TOOK PLACE IN BENGHAZI THE LOOSE COALITION OF TERRORIST CELLS AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING GANGS IMMEDIATELY TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE TURMOIL TO ATTACK THE HIGH SECURITY PRISONS OUTSIDE OF BENGHAZI WHERE THEIR COMRADES WERE LOCKED UP."

FROM PAST HISTORY OF WESTERN IMPERIALISM, ONE MIGHT ASSUME THAT EVER SINCE A CHARISMATIC LOWEST RANK OFFICER GADHAFI LED THE OVERTHROW OF BRITISH INSTALLED KING IDRIS (1969) AND HAD LIBYA NATIONALIZE THE "FREE WORLD'S' OIL, M16, CIA, AND FRENCH SECRET SERVICE SHOULD HAVE HAD A RELATIVELY EASY TIME HATCHING PLOTS FOR GADDAFI'S ASSASSINATION WITHIN THE CONTENTIOUS TRIBAL SOCIETY OF THAT HALF-BERBER NATION.

THIS JUST MIGHT PERHAPS EXPLAIN THE YEARS OF BACK AND FORTH COUNTER ASSASSINATION EPISODES CULMINATING, AFTER DECADES, WITH PRESIDENT REAGAN'S BOMBING ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE GADDAFI BY MISSILES FIRED ON HIS COMPOUND FROM PLANES OFF AN AIRCRAFT CARRIER THAT KILLED A HUNDRED LIBYANS, GADHAFI'S DAUGHTER AMONG THEM. THE "COMMUNITY OF NATIONS' NEVER HAS MUCH OF A PROBLEM WITH U.S. BOMBINGS - THE MEDIA CONGLOMERATES OF A SAVAGE INVESTMENT COMMUNITY WENT ON CONDEMNING GADHAFI AS THEY DID FIDEL CASTRO.

THEN CAME A BIZARRE ARRANGEMENT UNDER WHICH YEARS OF WESTERN NATION EMBARGOES AND SANCTIONS ON LIBYA WOULD BE LIFTED UPON LIBYA ALLOWING TWO LIBYANS TO STAND TRIAL IN SCOTLAND ON CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE AND LIBYA PAYING A INDEMNITY TO FAMILIES OF VICTIMS OF A PAMAM FLIGHT BOMBED OVER SCOTLAND BY PERSONS UNKNOWN. STRANGELY, AFTER A TRIAL ENDING IN CONVICTION THAT UNITED NATIONS SPECIAL RAPPORTEUR MICHAEL NOWAK AMONG OTHERS IN ATTENDANCE CALLED A "ABOMINABLE MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE," IN WHICH NO HARD EVIDENCE, WAS PRESENTED, LIBYA WAS ADMITTED TO THE "COMMUNITY OF NATIONS' AND ABLE TO TRADE ONCE MORE.

WHEN ONE WHO WAS CONVICTED WAS RECENTLY RELEASED FOR BEING TERMINALLY ILL (OR BY PREVIOUS COVERT AGREEMENT), WAS WELCOMED HOME AS A HERO FOR HIS WILLINGNESS TO SACRIFICE HIMSELF FOR THE NATIONS RESTITUTION, MAINSTREAM MEDIA HAD ITS CAPTIVE AUDIENCE HIT THE CEILING. ALL VERY CONFUSING, EXCEPT TO KNOW THAT SOMEHOW LIBYA'S OIL WAS SOMEHOW PLAYING A PART FROM THE TIME GADHAFI HAD LIBYA NATIONALIZE IT.

GADDAFI, AS MOST ARABS, HAS BEEN OUTSPOKEN IN SUPPORT FOR PALESTINIANS IN THEIR STRUGGLE OVER THEIR LAND BEING TAKEN AWAY FROM THEM BY THE COLONIAL-POWERS-FOUNDED-AND-CONTROLLED UNITED NATIONS, WHICH AWARDED MORE THAT 55% OF THE BRITISH MANDATE (COLONY) OF PALESTINE TO THE MAINLY EUROPEAN COLONIZING IMMIGRANT JEWISH THIRD OF THE THEN TOTAL POPULATION OF THE MANDATE. GADDAFI HOLDS THE BELIEF THAT THIS UN DECISION WAS MEANT TO BOTH ASSUAGE WEALTHY WHITE CAPITALISTS' CONSCIENCES FOR HAVING INVESTED IN LOW WAGE GERMAN LABOR AND BUILT UP POOR NAZI GERMANY TO WORLD #1 MILITARY POWER IN FULL AWARENESS OF HITTER'S WELL ANNOUNCED PLANS TO PERSECUTE JEWS, AND, TO ESTABLISH A COLONY OF EUROPEANS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OIL RICH ARAB WORLD.

PITILESSLY HATEFUL REMARKS ATTRIBUTED TO GADDAFI AFTER THE HORRIBLY INDISCRIMINATE MASSACRE AT ISRAEL'S LOD AIRPORT BY A JAPANESE TERRORIST GROUP, CAN BE UNDERSTOOD, IF NOT FORGIVEN, AS HAVING BEEN MADE BY SOMEONE SUFFERING THE AWARENESS THAT NONE OF THE MASSIVE NUMBER OF ISRAELI MASSACRES OF PALESTINIANS AND LEBANESE HAS EVER BEEN CONDEMNED BY EUROPEAN OR AMERICAN GOVERNMENTS OR BY THE ISRAELIS.

THE SAME MIGHT BE SAID FOR THE DOUBLE STANDARD THAT RIGHTFULLY CONDEMNS FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR ARAB TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS BUT NOT AMERICAN AND EUROPEAN COVERT FUNDING OF TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS IN DOZENS OF THIRD WORLD NATIONS, E.G., CARTER/CIA FUNDING, ARMING AND TRAINING OF THE VERY FIRST FUNDAMENTALIST TERROR TO OVERTHROW A WOMEN LIBERATING SOCIALIST KABUL GOVERNMENT AND DRAW THE SOVIETS INTO A TRAP IN COMING TO ITS DEFENSE.

WITH AFRICA EVER DOMINATED BY COMPETING EUROPEAN INVESTMENTS AND COMPETING NATIONS FOR HEGEMONY AND PROFITS FUNDING TERROR AND CIVIL WAR TO THEIR INVESTMENTS ADVANTAGE, GADDAFI INEVITABLY HAS BEEN DRAWN IN TO SUPPORT WHICH EVER GROUP JUDGED TO BE FOR LIBERATION FROM CRUEL EUROPEAN EXPLOITATION. EUROPEANS IN THEIR CORPORATE CONTROLLED MEDIA ARE ABLE TO ACCUSE GADDAFI OF SUPPORTING TERROR. BUT IN THE CRUEL REALPOLITIK OF A NEO-COLONIZED AFRICA OF SHIFTING COVERT MACHINATIONS, NO ONE IS ABLE TO STAY CLEAN.

ON GADDAFI'S WATCH THERE WAS PROTECTION FROM EUROPEAN EXPLOITATION. LIBYA HAD RISEN ABOVE THE DIRT POOR POVERTY OF THE REST OF AN AFRICA STILL CRUELLY ENSLAVED ECONOMICALLY BY EUROPEAN ENTERPRISE. GOOD HOSPITALS, HIGHEST LONGEVITY, LOWEST INFANT MORTALITY - MOST EVERY FAMILY WITH A CAR. SEE LIBYA IN ITS UN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT INDEX 2010 AS THE 53RD MOST DEVELOPED NATION.

GADHAFI LIKE NKRUMA BEFORE HIM, LEADS A MOVEMENT FOR AFRICAN UNITY AGAINST EUROPEAN ECONOMIC EXPLOITATION.
BEFORE THAT, GADDAFI WORKED FOR YEARS TO UNIFY THE ARAB NATION INTO ONE UNIFIED PAN-ARAB MOVEMENT FOLLOWING THE EFFORTS OF ANOTHER YOUNG REVOLUTIONARY OFFICER, GAMAL ABDEL NASSER OF EGYPT, WHO WAS ALSO REVILED IN THE ARAB WORLD DOMINATING INDUSTRIALIZED NATIONS.

GADDAFI IS NO "RAMBLING SPEAKING," INAPPROPRIATELY DRESSED "MAD DOG" FOR THE UNDESERVING POOR, IMPERIALISM OPPRESSED, MAJORITY OF THE NEARLY SEVEN BILLION HUMAN BEINGS THAT MAKE UP HUMANITY, STRUGGLING TO SURVIVE ON A PLANET HALF OWNED AND MOSTLY CONTROLLED BY PRIVATE FINANCE INVESTMENT CAPITAL. FOR MAJORITY MANKIND GADDAFI IS IN A CATEGORY WITH FIDEL CASTRO, CHE GUEVARA, HUGO CHAVEZ, EVO MORALES, RAFAEL CORREA, PATRICE LUMUMBA, NKRUMA, NASSER, AND OTHERS WHO HAVE FOUGHT TO LIBERATE THE DISENFRANCHISED AND EXPLOITED FROM LACK OF FOOD, HEALTH CARE, EDUCATION OF DECENT INCOME FOR THEIR CHILDREN.

THE SCHLOCK OF LIES AND ABSURD INNUENDO GOES ON WITH ALL KINDS OF OBVIOUSLY PLANTED STORIES ABOUT AMERICAN INVESTORS' DESIGNATED ENEMIES. LIES, WHICH EVENTUALLY WILL BE FOUND OUT AND PROVEN FALSE WHEN THE ISSUE IS NO LONGER TOPICAL AND OF INTEREST. WHO CARES ABOUT THE GULF OF TONKIN LIES, THE MANY IRAQ WMD LIES, THAT IRAQI SOLDIERS DIDN'T PULL OUT THE LIFE SUSTAINING TUBES OF BABIES IN KUWAIT HOSPITALS, THAT THE PLANES THAT BOMBED CUBA WERE INDEED AMERICAN, THAT THE DUG UP NORTH KOREAN TORPEDO COULD NOT HAVE BLOWN A SOUTH KOREAN WARSHIP IN TWO? BOOKS HAVE BEEN WRITTEN EXPOSING SUCH INTENTIONAL FALSEHOODS, BUT EMINENT AND ESTEEMED LIARS PAY THEM ABSOLUTELY NO ATTENTION. IT IS THEIR WORLD, NOT OURS.

LIES HAVE A LONG LIFE IN MILITARIZED, JINGOISTIC, AMERICAN BIG BROTHER COMMERCIAL NETWORK NEWS. AMERICANS ARE STILL THE HEROES OF AMERICA'S WAR IN VIETNAM.

"BOMBING OF LIBYA -- PUNISHMENT FOR GADDAFI FOR HIS ATTEMPT TO REFUSE US DOLLAR' , "CHINA HAD ANNOUNCED MINTING OF GOLDEN YUAN AND THE EASTERN COUNTRIES ALSO DISCUSSED THE POSSIBILITY OF GOLDEN STANDARD. MUMMAR GHADDAFI BECAME THE MAIN INITIATOR OF IDEA OF REFUSING FROM DOLLAR AND EURO AND CALLED ON ARAB AND AFRICAN NATIONS TO USE A NEW CURRENCY INSTEAD, THE PERSIAN GOLD DINAR. IN 2002 MALAYSIAN PRIME MINISTER MUHAMMAD TOGETHER WITH MUMMAR GHADDAFI PROPOSED INITIATIVE TO LAUNCH GOLDEN DINAR. AT THE BEGINNING THIS IDEA WAS APPROVED BY IRAQ, SUDAN AND BRUNEY, NEXT, INDONESIA
, UNITED ARABIAN EMIRATES AND OTHER COUNTRIES JOINED TO IT. THEY BEGAN WORK ON THIS IDEA. THERE WERE SOME SESSIONS OF MINISTERS OF FINANCE OF THESE COUNTRIES AND THE PROJECT ABOUT REFUSING FROM DOLLAR AND EURO AND USING GOLDEN DINAR BEGAN TO BE TRANSFERRED TO LIFE. THERE WAS A PILOT PROJECT WHERE GOLDEN COINS WERE ALREADY MINTED AND IT BEGAN TO BE USED IN MALAYSIA, INDONESIA AND IRAN. THEY WERE EVEN USED IN COMMON SHOPS AND THEY ARE STILL CAN BE USED THERE AS WELL AS COMMON BANKNOTE MONEY. IT MEANS THAT IF MUAMMAR GHADDAFI WILL DROP BANK SYSTEM AND WILL START TRADE ONLY IN GOLD, HE WILL TRADE ONLY WITH COUNTRIES THAT HAVE GOLD. (CHINA HAS ALMOST CORNERED THE GOLD MARKET?) ... THERE MUST BE CHAIN REACTION, BECAUSE EVERYONE IS TIRED TO BE A SLAVE FOR USA FEDERAL RESERVE FOND AND ITS HEAD MR. BERNANKE. BECAUSE BERNANKE GIVES MONEY IN DEBT FOR USA (FEDERAL RESERVE FOND OF USA GIVES MONEY TO CENTRAL BANK OF USA). IF MUAMMAN GHADDAFI FOUND TIME TO LAUNCH GOLDEN COINS BEFORE THE WAR STARTED, NOT ONLY MUSLIM COUNTRIES WOULD FOLLOW HIM. THERE WOULD BE MANY COUNTRIES, INCLUDING MAYBE EVEN GERMANY. EVERYONE IN THE WORLD WHO DOESN'T WANT TO BE A SLAVE OF BERNANKE WANTS TO TRADE FOR GOLD.

GADDAFI SUGGESTED ESTABLISHING A UNITED AFRICAN CONTINENT, WITH ITS 200 MILLION PEOPLE USING THIS SINGLE CURRENCY. DURING THE PAST YEAR, THE IDEA WAS APPROVED BY MANY ARAB COUNTRIES AND MOST AFRICAN COUNTRIES.

IF THE GADDAFI GOVERNMENT GOES DOWN, IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO WATCH WHETHER THE NEW CENTRAL BANK [CREATED BY THE REBELS IN MARCH] JOINS THE BIS, WHETHER THE NATIONALIZED OIL INDUSTRY GETS SOLD OFF TO INVESTORS, AND WHETHER EDUCATION AND HEALTHCARE CONTINUE TO BE FREE."

WORLD BANK'S ZOELLICK: HOPES BANK WILL HAVE ROLE IN LIBYA BY JEFFREY SPARSHOTT DOW JONES NEWSWIRES , 4/14/11

WASHINGTON -(DOW JONES)- WORLD BANK PRESIDENT ROBERT ZOELLICK THURSDAY SAID HE HOPES THE INSTITUTION WILL HAVE A ROLE REBUILDING LIBYA AS IT EMERGES FROM CURRENT UNREST.

US TO RECOUP LIBYAN OIL FROM CHINA INTERVIEW WITH DR. PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS, FORMER ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF US TREASURY BY PRESS TV / 4/20/11
"LIBYAN RULER MUAMMAR QADDAFI HAS MADE TWO MISTAKES: IT BLOCKED THE US AFRICA COMMAND BY NOT JOINING IT AND LET CHINA INTO LIBYA WITH MAJOR ENERGY INVESTMENTS INSTEAD, SAYS A FORMER US OFFICIAL.

IN MY OPINION, WHAT THIS IS ABOUT IS TO ELIMINATE CHINA FROM THE MEDITERRANEAN. CHINA HAS EXTENSIVE ENERGY INVESTMENTS AND CONSTRUCTION INVESTMENTS IN LIBYA. THEY ARE LOOKING TO AFRICA AS A FUTURE ENERGY SOURCE.

CHINA ... HAS 50 MAJOR INVESTMENT PROJECTS IN EASTERN LIBYA. SO THE QUESTION IS WHY DID RUSSIA AND CHINA ABSTAIN RATHER THAN VETO AND BLOCK? WE DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER.

POSSIBLY CHINA AND RUSSIA ARE THINKING LET THE AMERICANS GET FURTHER OVER EXTENDED OR THEY MAY NOT HAVE WANTED TO CONFRONT THEM WITH A MILITARY OR DIPLOMATIC POSITION AND HAVE AN ONSLAUGHT OF WESTERN PROPAGANDA AGAINST THEM. WE DON'T KNOW THE REASONS, BUT WE KNOW THEY DID ABSTAIN BECAUSE THEY DID NOT AGREE WITH THE POLICY AND THEY CONTINUE TO CRITICIZE IT.

THE CIA IS THE ORIGINATOR OF THIS SO-CALLED REVOLT AND PROTEST AND IS FOMENTING IT AND CONTROLLING IT IN A WAY THAT EXCLUDES CHINA FROM ITS OWN LIBYAN OIL INVESTMENTS.

IT'S A CIA OPERATION, NOT A LEGITIMATE PROTEST OF THE LIBYAN PEOPLE. IT'S AN ARMED REBELLION THAT HAS NO SUPPORT IN THE CAPITAL CITY. IT'S TAKING PLACE IN THE EAST WHERE THE OIL IS AND IS DIRECTED AT CHINA.

WE (THE US) ARE TRYING TO CRIPPLE OUR MAIN RIVAL, CHINA BY DENYING IT ENERGY. THAT'S WHAT THIS IS REALLY ABOUT; A REACTION BY THE US."

FOR 7,540 YEARS CYRENAICA (BENGHAZI) AND TRIPOLI HAVE BEEN GOVERNED INDEPENDENT FROM EACH OTHER DURING OCCUPATION BY ROME, VANDALS, BYZANTIUM, THE UMMAYAD OF DAMASCUS, AGHLABIDS, EGYPTIAN SHIITES, SPAIN, THE KNIGHTS OF MALTA, TURKS AND ITALIANS. IN 1934 ITALY TRIED TO UNITE THE TWO INTO ONE NATION NAMED LIBYA (ANCIENT GREEK WORD FOR N. AFRICA). THEN CAME THE BRITISH AND FRENCH OCCUPATION UNTIL 1954.

WHERE THERE IS RIVALRY, THERE IS OPPORTUNITY FOR COVERT FUNDING OF DISORDER AND MAYHEM TO WHIP UP INSURRECTION. WITH FALSE FLAG OPERATIONS, A LOT CAN BE DONE. WITH AL QAEDA ELEMENTS AND OTHER FUNDAMENTALISTS POPULATING A LARGE AREA TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF BENGHAZI, THERE WAS NO SHORTAGE OF FANATICAL MANPOWER FOR A WELL PLANNED ARMED REBELLION TO BE PORTRAYED AS PEACEFUL DEMONSTRATIONS FOR DEMOCRACY.

LEAVE THE REST TO CNN AND THE OTHER FIVE NETWORKS, WHO FOR DECADES HAVE BEEN LECTURING ITS CARTEL CAPTIVE AUDIENCE ABOUT "MAD DOG' GADHAFI TO IMMEDIATELY HAVE VIEWERS AGREEING THAT GADDAFI, MOST CERTAINLY, FOR SURE, ABSOLUTELY, WITHOUT A DOUBT, WAS GOING TO MASSACRE HIS OWN PEOPLE, AS OBAMA AFFIRMED IN HIS SPEECH TO JUSTIFY AIR STRIKES ON LIBYA.

HOW WILL NIC AND AMDERSON DEAL WITH THEIR CONSCIENCE? PROBABLY AS DID THE MEDIA PERSONNEL WHO PROPAGATED ALL THE OTHER U.S. WARS ON LITTLE COUNTRIES. "IT'S A JOB.' "IT THEY HADN'T DONE IT SOMEONE ELSE WOULD HAVE.'

FORMER REAGAN ECONOMIST PAUL CRAIG RORBERTS SAYS "AMERICA WANTS TO RULE RUSSIA, CHINA, IRAN, AND AFRICA, ALL OF SOUTH AMERICA. THEY WANT HEGEMONY OVER THE WORLD."

GENERAL WESLEY CLARK SAYS HE WAS TOLD YEARS YEARS AGO IN A BRIEFING THAT THE PLAN WAS TO TAKE OUT SEVEN COUNTRIES IN FIVE YEARS. AFTER AFGHANISTAN AND IRAQ WOULD COME SYRIA, LIBYA, LEBANON, SUDAN, SOMALIA AND THEN IRAN.

CNN'S JOB, AS A PATRIOTIC CORPORATION, IS TO SEE THAT AMERICA GETS ON WELL WITH ITS AGENDA. IT JUST BUSINESS.

CAPITALISM'S WARPLANES: CIA & AL QAEDA DESTROY SOCIALIST LIBYA'S 53RD HIGHEST LIVING STANDARD
AN IMPERATIVE MORE BASIC THAN KEEPING US BACKED DICTATORS IN POWER AND ELIMINATING NON-CAPITALIST REGIMES IS AT WORK IN LIBYA AND THE MIDDLE EAST. AN IMPERATIVE THAT HAS CREATED ALL WARS. IT IS IMPERATIVE FOR PRIVATE INVESTMENT FINANCIAL CAPITAL TO ACCUMULATE, AND TO ACCUMULATE AT AN EVER INCREASING RATE, PUSHING THE WEALTHY OWNERS OF CAPITAL INTO EVER NEW VARIATIONS OF SAME ANCIENT CONSPIRACY OF THE RICH AGAINST THE POOR

IT'S LIKE WHEN YOU WATCH A MAGICIAN PERFORM. YOU MIGHT HAVE AN IDEA HOW THE SLIGHT OF HAND WAS DONE. BUT YOU DON'T REALLY KNOW FOR SURE. YOU JUST KNOW WHAT YOU SAW WAS A TRICK.

YOU HAVE SEEN REVOLUTIONARIES BEFORE, REAL AND PHONY. THESE HEAVILY ARMED EXCITED HOMBRES DON'T LOOK AND ACT THE PART OF THE AGGRIEVED, AND FOR THE MOST PART DON'T LOOK LIKE THE NOBLE PEOPLE RISKING THEIR LIVES IN THE STREETS OF CAIRO, TUNIS, SANA'A AND MANAMA.

THIRDLY, THE REALLY BAD GUYS, THE BIG BAD GUYS - THE VERY POWERFUL IMPERIALIST CAPITALISTS WHO REVOLUTIONARIES MUST ALWAYS FIGHT, ARE INCONGRUOUSLY ON THE SIDE OF "LIBYAN "REVOLUTIONARIES.'

FOURTHLY, IF THEY HAVE IT BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE IN AFRICA AND THE ARAB WORLD, WHY ARE THEY WILLING TO KILL AND BE KILLED TO CHANGE THE LEADER WHO HAS LED THEM IN PRODUCING AN ENVIABLE LEVEL OF SOCIAL SERVICES DEMOCRATICALLY AVAILABLE TO ALL CITIZENS*(1 ), AND SIDE WITH LIBYA'S FORMER BRUTAL EXPLOITING EUROPEAN MASTERS WHO NOW GENEROUSLY BOMB LIBYA AGAIN?

POLICE AND SECURITY PERSONNEL HAVE BEEN KILLING PROTESTORS THROUGHOUT THE WESTERN DOMINATED ARAB WORLD. ONE MIGHT BE SURPRIZED THAT IT HAPPENED IN SOCIALIST LIBYA (1), BUT POLICE EVERYWHERE ARE KNOWN TO GET CARRIED AWAY, AND IN LIBYA FROM THE VERY FIRST DAYS, THERE WERE ATTACKS ON POLICE AND FOREIGNERS.


IN EGYPT, YEMEN, BAHRAIN AND TUNISIA THE CONTIUNING LOSS OF LIFE DURING MASSIVE DEMONSTRATIONS, THAT WERE, AND ARE, STILL BEING SHOWN TO BE BASICALLY PEACEFUL BY PLENTY OF ONSITE MEDIA CROWD-COVERAGE, WAS HEARTBREAKING. WE SAW FOR WEEKS, BEAUTIFUL SIMPATICO AND CHARMING FACES OF PEOPLE HEROICALLY RISKING THEIR LIVES, GENEROUS COMMON PEOPLE, DRIVEN TO PROTEST BY BAD LIVING CONDITIONS, LACK OF JOBS, HEALTH CARE AND EDUCATION.*(2) THE HUGE AMOUNT OF DESPERATE POOR, IN DIRE STRAITS, ESPECIALLY IN EGYPT AND YEMEN HAD, AND CONTINUE TO HAVE, PRESSING REASONS TO GET RID HEARTLESS U.S. BACKED DICTATORS FAVORING THE RICH. THEY WANT TO INSTALL ECONOMIC FAIRNESS AND WELL BEING FOR THEIR CHILDREN, NOT THAT KIND OF CORRUPT AND PHONY WESTERN PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRACY THAT SUPPORTS FOREIGN INVESTMENT CAPITAL AND THE MUBARAKS, BEN ALIS, SALEHS, SUHARTOS, DUVALIERS AND OTHER LOCAL RULERS OF THE WORLD'S POOR FOR THE BENEFIT OF INVESTORS IN THE INDUSTRIALIZED FIRST WORLD.

COMPARE THE ABOVE PEACEFULLY MASSED HUMANITY WITH THE CNN VIDEOS OF WILD-EYED YOUNG MEN JUMPING UP AND DOWN DENOUNCING GADDAFI, THE LEADER OF THE GOVERNMENT PROVIDING THE HIGHEST STANDARD OF LIVING IN AFRICA - FREE HIGHER EDUCATION, HEALTH CARE IN GOOD HOSPITALS, HIGHEST LONGEVITY, LOWEST INFANT MORTALITY - MOST EVERY FAMILY WITH A CAR*(1).

GIVEN THE NINE MILLENNIUMS LONG HISTORY OF RIVALRY BETWEEN GREEK FOUNDED BENGHAZI (CYRENAICA) AND PHOENICIAN FOUNDED TRIPOLI, THE PRESENT CLIMATE OF ARAB ANTI-GOVERNMENT PROTESTS AND DECADES OF VIRULENT HATE GADDAFI STORIES IN THE MEDIA*( 9) HOW EASY IT MUST HAVE BEEN FOR THE BIG POWERS AND THEIR PRO-DEMOCRACY ORGANIZATIONS. HOW EASY FOR CIA, M16 AND FRENCH SECRET SERVICES AND THE OVERSEAS BASED U.S. AND BRITISH FUNDED NATIONAL CONFERENCE FOR THE LIBYAN OPPOSITION TO COORDINATE AND PLAN THE ARMED UPRISING THAT BEGAN WITH A CALL FOR A DAY OF RAGE ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE HUGE RIOT OVER THE DANISH CARTOONS INSULTING THE PROPHET AND A DEADLY ATTACK ON THE ITALIAN CONSULATE IN BENGHAZI IN 2006. 

FOR 7,540 YEARS CYRENAICA (BENGHAZI) AND TRIPOLI HAVE BEEN GOVERNED INDEPENDENT FROM EACH OTHER DURING ROMAN, VANDAL, BYZANTIUM, UMMAYAD OF DAMASCUS, AGHLABIDS, EGYPTIAN SHIITES, SPAIN, THE KNIGHTS OF MALTA, TURKS AND ITALIANS. IN 1934 ITALY TRIED TO UNITE THE TWO INTO ONE NATION NAMED LIBYA (ANCIENT GREEK WORD FOR N. AFRICA). THEN CAME THE BRITISH AND FRENCH OCCUPATION UNTIL 1954.

WITH BRITISH BACKING, IDRIS AS-SENUSSI PROCLAIMED AN INDEPENDENT EMIRATE OF CYRENAICA IN 1949. HE WAS ALSO INVITED TO BECOME EMIR OF TRIPOLITANIA, AND ULTIMATELY BECAME KING IDRIS OF LIBYA IN 1951. IDRIS HAD CLOSE TIES WITH THE BRITISH AND THE UNITED STATES (ERGO THE LARGE U.S. WHEELUS AIR BASE). OIL WAS DISCOVERED IN LIBYA IN 1959, BUT KING LDRIS ALLOWED MOST OF THE OIL PROFITS TO BE SIPHONED INTO THE COFFERS OF THE OIL COMPANIES.

IN 1969, NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICER MUAMMAR GADDAFI LED COUP BY A GROUP WITHIN THE LIBYAN ARMY. A REPUBLIC WAS PROCLAIMED, THE MONARCHY ABOLISHED. WHAT WAS A PREDOMINANTLY RURAL AND BACKWARD COUNTRY WHEN THE KING WAS DEPOSED 42 YEARS AGO IS TODAY A COUNTRY WITH A MODERN ECONOMY AND HIGH LITERACY. BUT IDRIS' HOME WAS IN BENGHAZI, AND GADDAFI RESIDES IN TRIPOLI. DECENTRALIZED GREEN BOOK ARAB SOCIALISM ALSO FAVORED THE TRIPOLI - CYRENAICA RIVALRY TO CONTINUE. PERHAPS A BIT OF ""EAST IS EAST, WEST IS WEST, AND NEVER THE TWAIN SHALL MEET."

WHERE THERE IS RIVALRY, THERE IS OPPORTUNITY FOR COVERT FUNDING OF DISORDER AND MAYHEM TO WHIP UP INSURRECTION. WITH FALSE FLAG OPERATIONS A LOT CAN BE DONE. WITH AL QAEDA ELEMENTS AND OTHER FUNDAMENTALISTS POPULATING A LARGE AREA TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF BENGHAZI, (7) THERE WAS NO SHORTAGE OF FANATICAL MANPOWER FOR A WELL PLANNED ARMED REBELLION TO BE PORTRAYED AS PEACEFUL DEMONSTRATIONS FOR DEMOCRACY. 

LEAVE THE REST TO CNN AND THE OTHER FIVE NETWORKS, WHO FOR DECADES HAVE BEEN LECTURING ITS CARTEL CAPTIVE AUDIENCE ABOUT "MAD DOG' GADHAFI*(9), TO IMMEDIATELY HAVE VIEWERS AGREEING THAT GADDAFI, MOST CERTAINLY, FOR SURE ABSOLUTELY, WITHOUT A DOUBT, WAS GOING TO MASSACRE HIS OWN PEOPLE, AS OBAMA AFFIRMED IN HIS SPEECH TO JUSTIFY AIR STRIKES ON LIBYA.(9)

CNN, THE UNABASHED VOICE OF THE PENTAGON WITH A HISTORY OF SLANDERING ENEMIES OF IMPERIALISM, INITIALLY RAN CELL PHONE VIDEOS OF PEOPLE RUNNING WITH THE SOUND OF GUN SHOTS - SHOTS FROM WHERE AND WHOM UNKNOWN EXCEPT FOR THE CNN NEWSCASTERS EXCITED VOICES PASSIONATELY SHOUTING, "GADDAFI!! GADDAFI IS SHOOTING, BOMBING, PEACEFUL PROTESTERS ASKING FOR DEMOCRACY."*(3)(4)

NOT ONCE, DURING THESE TWO MONTHS OF HIGH VIOLENCE IN LIBYA, HAS THIS WRITER HEARD CNN TV NEWSCASTERS REPORT ANY CIVILIAN DEATH CAUSED BY REBELS FIRING THEIR HEAVY WEAPONS. BUT FROM SOME EUROPEAN AND AFRICAN NEWS REPORTS WE KNOW OF A LOT, INCLUDING BRUTAL EXECUTIONS.*(4 )(6) GADDAFI CHARGED EARLY ON THAT THERE WAS A MASSACRE BY REBELS IN GREEN SQUARE, AND CALLED FOR A UN INVESTIGATION TEAM ON THE GROUND IN LIBYA, WHILE CONTINUALLY PLEADING FOR MEETINGS AND DISCUSSIONS WITH THE REBELS. "GADDAFI, MUST GO!" HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE REJECTION FROM THE REBEL LEADERSHIP.

CONGLOMERATE OWNED MEDIA, SUBSERVIENT TO OVERSEAS INVESTMENT NEEDS, MOLDS IT'S COVERAGE ACCORDING TO DEVELOPMENTS. WHEN U.S. PLANES BOMB, LIBYAN GOVERNMENT REPORTS OF THE RESULTING CIVILIAN DEATH ARE DISPARAGED AS AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE AMERICA LOOK BAD. WHEN LIBYAN LOYALIST FORCES SHOW SUCCESS, NEWS ANCHORS SHOW DISTRESS AND REPORT THAT GADDAFI IS TARGETING AND MURDERING CIVILIANS, NOT DEFENDING THE LIBYAN POPULATION AND THEIR GOVERNMENT FROM INSURGENT ATTACK.*(5)

AT NO TIME HAS IT BEEN INDICATED IN COMMERCIAL TELECASTS THAT A MAJORITY OF LIBYANS SUPPORT OVERTHROWING THEIR GOVERNMENT, MUCH LESS BACK A USNATO WAR TO INSTALL A WESTERN-ALIGNED GOVERNMENT IN TRIPOLI WITH THE LIBYA ISLAMIC FIGHTING GROUP (LIFG -- AL-JAMAA AL-ISLAMIYYAH AL-MUQATILAH BI LIBYA), FORMERLY, IF NOT STILL TODAY, ALIGNED WITH AL-QAEDA, IN THE FRONT-LINE OF THE ARMED INSURRECTION.*(7) THE PROGRAMERS OF CNN WAR PROMOTION HIGH UPSTAIRS IN THE CORPORATE HIERARCHY MUST BE WELL AWARE THAT LIBYA IS STILL TRIBAL, AND MANY OF THE LARGER TRIBES WOULD BE TRADITIONALLY STAUNCH SUPPORTERS OF GADDAFI. DER SPIEGEL MAGAZINE , GERMANY, 3/30/11, HAS A FEATURE ARTICLE ON WHAT ONE WOULD LOGICALLY EXPECT, NAMELY, "BENGHAZI ISN'T A PURE REBEL STRONGHOLD, THERE ARE GADHAFI SUPPORTERS HERE."HTTP://WWW.SPIEGEL.DE/INTERNATIONAL/WORLD/0,1518,752580,00.HTML

LIBYA'S BIGGEST TRIBE JOINS MARCH OF RECONCILIATION TO BENGHAZI 
GUARDIAN UK 3/23/11
"WITH MORE THAN A MILLION MEMBERS, WARFALLA LIVE ALL OVER LIBYA, INCLUDING IN THE REBEL STRONGHOLD OF BENGHAZI. THE TRIBE'S GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION MEANS IT IS WELL-PLACED TO HELP HEAL BITTER DIVISIONS BY JOINING A PEACEFUL "GREEN MARCH" TO THE EASTERN CITY TO PROMOTE RECONCILIATION AND AVOID THE KOREA-STYLE PARTITION OF THE COUNTRY MANY FEAR"

"WE WILL TALK TO THEM, NOT USE GUNS, TO DISCUSS THEIR DEMANDS," SAID BANI WALID DOCTOR, SALMAN AL-DAGIL. ...

"ALL LIBYANS ARE RELATED, ESPECIALLY THE WARFALLA," SAID MBRAK IBRAHIM, A BRITISH-EDUCATED TELECOMS ENGINEER. "IT MEANS THAT WE HAVE FAMILY EVERYWHERE. WE WILL BE HAPPY IF WE CAN OPEN OUR HEARTS AND STOP THIS BLOODSHED."

ONE NOTICES THAT THOUGH CNN ANCHORS ARE OFTEN REPORTING FROM TRIPOLI AND OTHER TOWNS NOT TAKEN OR UNDER ATTACK BY REBELS, THEY HAVE NOT BEEN REPORTING FROM INSIDE THE REBEL CONTROLLED CITIES LIKE BENGHAZI, RATHER CONSTANTLY SHOWING THEMSELVES ALONG SIDE THE PICK-UP TRUCKS MOUNTED WITH HEAVY WEAPONS. THE GUN MOUNTED PICK-UP TRUCK HAS BECOME THE U.S. TV. LOGO OF THE CRUSADE FOR DEMOCRACY.

WHILE U.S. DRONES BLOW AWAY SUSPECTED AL QAEDA IN PAKISTAN, AFGHANISTAN, YEMEN, SOMALIA, IN LIBYA VETERANS OF AL QAEDA'S WAR AGAINST U.S. TROOPS IN IRAQ ALONG WITH OTHER FUNDAMENTALISTS SHOULDER TO SHOULDER WITH CIA WITH AMERICA GIVING THEM AIR COVER AND FRONT LINE SUPPORT AGAINST THE ARMED FORCES OF THE GOVERNMENT OF LIBYA.*(7). NOT THE FIRST TIME CIA HAS USED AL QAEDA AND OTHER ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALISTS TO ITS PURPOSES.*(8)


WITHIN A MATTER OF DAYS THE WHOLE IMPERIAL WEST SWUNG INTO ACTION - WARNINGS FROM INTERNATIONAL COURTS, SEIZURE OF LIBYA'S $BILLIONS OF ASSETS ABROAD, EMBARGOES, SANCTIONS, THREATS OF MILITARY ACTION THEN FINALLY A UN SECURITY COUNCIL GO AHEAD. (PROPHETICALLY, JUST A YEAR AGO, GADHAFI, SPEAKING BEFORE THE UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY, HAD CALLED THE SECURITY COUNCIL "THE COUNCIL OF TERROR," FOR ALL THE POST-COLONIAL WARS ON SMALL NATIONS IT HAS APPROVED AND PARTICIPATED IN.)

IN TUNISIA, EGYPT, YEMEN AND BAHRAIN HUNDREDS DIED, AND ARE STILL DYING IN NONVIOLENT PROTESTS. IN EACH COUNTY ALL THE DEATHS WERE ATTRIBUTED TO POLICE, SECURITY OR GOVERNMENT ARMED FORCES IN DAILY ACCOUNTS FROM THE VERY FIRST DAYS OF PROTESTS. YET NO ARMED REBELLION TOOK PLACE. WE HAVE SEEN VIDEO SHOTS OF CADRE OF THE PROTESTORS IN ACTION MAINTAINING CALM AND KEEPING THEIR PEOPLE NONVIOLENT. EVEN AFTER TERRIBLE LOSS OF LIFE THE CONTINUED TO PREVENT VIOLENCE AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT.

TWO INFAMOUS U.S. BACKED DICTATORS HAD ALREADY BEEN OUSTED PEACEFULLY THOUGH MANY PROTESTORS WERE MURDERED. IN YEMEN SNIPERS CONTINUED TO KILL PROTESTERS, THE HUGE DEMONSTRATIONS CAUSING WORRY IN WASHINGTON. MASS PROTESTS IN BAHRAIN WERE THREATENING THE HOME OF THE U.S. SIXTH FLEET.

THEN IN MID FEBRUARY, THE EMPIRE STRUCK BACK WITH CLEVER VENGENCE: ARMED INSURGENTS IN PROSPEROUS SOCIALIST LIBYA, A MEDIA CAMPAIGN OF DISINFORMATION. COORDINATED GANGS WITH HEAVY WEAPONS OCCUPIED THE CENTERS OF WHOLE CITIES AND US NATO BEGAN BOMBING TO PROTECT THEM FROM DEFEAT. BAHRAIN, AT THE SAME TIME, WAS INVADED BY U.S. ALLY SAUDI ARABIA, ITS ARMED FORCES REPRESSING THE DEMONSTRATORS AND ASSISTING IN THEIR PERSECUTION. WASHINGTON IMPORTED A LEADER FOR THE REBELLION IN LIBYA WHO HAS SPENT THE PAST 20 YEARS LIVING WITH NO KNOWN SOURCE OF INCOME A COUPLE OF MILES FROM THE CIA'S HEADQUARTERS IN VIRGINIA; GEN.

U.S. EMPIRE WATCHERS NEED NOT BE SO DEEPLY VERSED IN HISTORY AND CURRENT AFFAIRS (MADE ALL THE MORE DIFFICULT WITH TV WATCHING AND NEWSPAPER AND TABLOID READING) TO KNOW THAT THE CIVIL WAR CONJURED UP IN LIBYA IS JUST ONE OF MORE THAN SIXTY ARRANGED SINCE 1945, TO DIVIDE, DESTROY AND CONQUER FOR IMPERIAL NEOCOLONIALIST CONTROL OVER VULNERABLE SMALL NATIONS. THE UNDERCLASSES OF THE U.S. POPULATION AND THE POOR IN THE THIRD WORLD USE THEIR SENSE OF SMELL TO KNOW THAT THE SAME GAME IS GOING ON IN LIBYA. INVASION EXPERIENCED FIDEL CASTRO, AFTER THE FIRST TWO DAYS OF DISTURBANCE EXPECTED THAT NATO WOULD USE IT AS A PRETEXT TO INVADE.

WILL HISTORY BOOKS CREDIT ALL THIS BLOODSHED TO GADHAFI HAVING "TARGETED CIVILIANS PEACEFULLY DEMONSTRATING FOR DEMOCRACY?" OR WILL A PLOT BE UNCOVERED TO STAGE A PRETEXT FOR CIVIL WAR WITH A LOT OF ORCHESTRATED SHOOTING, KILLING AND FALSE FLAG OPERATIONS LED BY A CIA FAMOUS FOR A COVERT PROVOKING OF CONFUSION AND VIOLENCE WHILE HEAVILY ARMED ELEMENTS STOOD READY TO BE ACTIVATED (AS IN PAST CIA OVERTHOWS)?

THE VERY FIRST DAY, 2/15 SAW POLICE STATIONS ATTACKED -NO DEATHS. THE SECOND DAY MORE STATIONS ATTACKED AND 6 DEATHS. ON THE FOURTH DAY, VARIOUS TRUSTWORTHY SOURCES REPORT THE REBELS EXECUTED AT LEAST FIFTY-TWO - TWICE THE TOTAL DEATHS AGREED UPON FOR THE THIRD DAY. THERE ARE SOME HORRIFICALLY GRUESOME CELL PHONE VIDEOS ON THE INTERNET OF GRISLY HANGINGS, BEHEADINGS, BLOODY BEATINGS OF BLACKS AND OTHERS LOYAL TO THEIR GOVERNMENT. (LIBYA HAS A BLACK POPULATION, MOSTLY IN SOUTH LIBYA, OF HALF A MILLION. LIBYA UNDER GADDAFI HAS ELIMINATED A GOOD DEAL OF RACE DISCRIMINATION, SO BLACK LIBYANS ARE ESPECIALLY LOYAL TO THE GOVERNMENT.) SOUTH KOREANS AND MOST ALL CHINESE CONSTRUCTION SITES HAVE REPORTED ATTACKS BY ARMED ANTI-GOVERNMENT GANGS.*( 6)

OBAMA, WITH HELP FROM EUROPEAN EMPIRES OF YESTERYEAR, PROCLAIMS HE IS PROTECTING [ERSTWHILE COLONIALLY OCCUPIED] LIBYANS. PROTECTING THEM FROM A SUCCESSFUL GOVERNMENT LED BY THEIR REVOLUTIONARY SOCIALIST LEADER COLONEL GADDAFI AT THE SAME TIME HE PROTECTS, FOR A SECOND TIME, AFGHANIS FROM HAVING AN AFGHAN GOVERNMENT, AND IS PROTECTING IRAQIS, SOMALIS, YEMENI AND PAKISTANIS FROM THEIR OWN CHOSEN GOVERNMENT, JUST AS THE U.S. ONCE PROTECTED LEBANESE FROM THEIR GOVERNMENT, AND PROTECTED IRANIANS FROM THEIR DEMOCRACY.

IN THE SAME WAY, AMERICA HAS PROTECTED HAITIANS , CONGOLESE, CHILEANS, DOMINICANS AND GUATEMALANS FROM THEIR ELECTED PRESIDENTS, THE VIETNAMESE FROM THEIR POPULAR HERO HO CHI MINH, PROTECTED THE GOVERNMENT OF EL SALVADOR FROM SALVADORIANS, PROTECTED GRENADIANS, LAOTIANS, GREEKS AND KOREANS FROM THEIR OWN PEOPLE, PROTECTED INDONESIANS FROM OVERPOPULATION, AND TRIED TO PROTECT CUBANS FROM THEIR REVOLUTION AND FIDEL CASTRO, ALL WITH EITHER U.S. NAVY SHELLING FROM THE SEA, BOMBS, MISSILES AND NAPALM FROM THE AIR, WMD IN THEIR COUNTRY, U.S. TROOPS IN THEIR CITIES, A DEADLY CIA, PREDATORY INVESTMENT BANKS, OR ALL OF THE ABOVE AT THE SAME TIME, WITH COMMERCIAL MASS MEDIA TV PROMOTING WAR AND A PUPPET UN SECRETARY GENERAL COLLUDING.

THERE IS AN IMPERATIVE INVOLVED TODAY IN LIBYA AND THE REST OF THE MIDDLE EAST THAT IS MORE BASIC THAN KEEPING U.S. BACKED DICTATORS IN POWER OR ELIMINATING NON-CAPITALIST REGIMES.THE SAME IMPERATIVE HAS DRIVEN WAR UPON PLANET EARTH FOR CENTURIES. IT IS IMPERATIVE FOR PRIVATE INVESTMENT FINANCIAL CAPITAL TO ACCUMULATE, AND ACCUMULATE AT AN EVER INCREASING RATE. THIS IS A COMPLEX MODERN AUTO-FUNCTIONING FINANCIAL INVESTMENT IMPERATIVE PUSHING THE WEALTHIEST OWNERS OF CAPITAL INTO EVER NEW VARIATIONS OF THE SAME ANCIENT CONSPIRACY OF THE RICH AGAINST THE REST OF US.

WHILE A LOVELY AND WELL KEPT LIBYA IS BEING DESTROYED BEFORE OUR VERY EYES AND READIED FOR HIGHLY PROFITABLE INVESTMENTS, UP AND COMING WARS ARE BEING PLANNED VERY SERIOUSLY.

EVEN CHINA AND RUSSIA CAN NOT IMPEDE THE IMPERATIVE OF THE ACCUMULATING PRIVATE CAPITAL AGGREGATE. THOUGH GADDHAFI HAD FAVORED RUSSIA AND CHINA IN THE EXPORT OF LIBYAN OIL AND RAW MATERIALS, THE LEADERS OF BOTH OF THESE EMERGING CAPITALIST GIANTS FELT CONSTRAINED TO ABSTAIN ON THE UN ATTACK RESOLUTION RATHER THAN USE THEIR VETO IN THE NAME OF SANITY.*(10)

TOO BAD. THE WORLD'S ECOLOGY MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE THE ADJUNCT IMPERATIVE OF CONTINUOUS WAR FOR MAXIMUM ACCUMULATION OF PRIVATE CAPITAL.*(11)

STEPHEN LENDMAN ALERTS US:
IN APRIL 3, AFP HEADLINED, "LIBYA WARNS OF DISASTER IF 'GREAT MAN-MADE RIVER' HIT,"SAYING:

IF GMMR IS BOMBED, IT COULD CAUSE A "HUMAN AND ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTER." LIBYA HAS THREE UNDERGROUND PIPELINE SYSTEMS, FOR OIL, GAS, AND WATER. IF ONE IS HIT, THE OTHERS ARE AFFECTED, POTENTIALLY DISASTROUSLY.

IF PART OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS DAMAGED, THE WHOLE THING IS AFFECTED AND THE MASSIVE ESCAPE OF WATER COULD CAUSE A CATASTROPHE, DEPRIVING MILLIONS OF LIBYANS OF FRESH WATER, 70% OF 6.5 PEOPLE FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION, IRRIGATION, AND OTHER PURPOSES, NOT TO MENTION GADDAFI'S DREAM TO CONTINUE TURNING THE DESERT GREEN.*(12)


WITH ALL THE STRONGEST CAPITALIST NATIONS' FIREPOWER AGAINST WHAT NOW REMAINS OF AN ARAB SOCIALIST SOCIETY, OF ITS BLASTED ARMY AND ITS HEROIC LOYAL CITIZEN MILITIAS, IT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE THAT GADDAFI AND HIS LIBYA WILL SURVIVE, LET ALONE BE ABLE TURN THIS BLITZKRIEG INTO A SECOND BAY OF PIGS DEFEAT FOR WEAPONIZED PRIVATE CAPITAL.

POSTSCRIPT:
SEEMS THE BOSTON GLOBE MIGHT HAVE DEFECTED FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES LED U.S. CORPORATE MEDIA CARTEL BACKING THE OVERTHROW OF THE GOVERNMENT OF LIBYA. HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH IS ALSO DISTANCING ITSELF FROM OUTRIGHT PRO-INSURGENCY LIES. CLICK HERE
FALSE PRETENSE FOR WAR IN LIBYA? 
EVIDENCE IS NOW IN THAT PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA GROSSLY EXAGGERATED THE HUMANITARIAN THREAT TO JUSTIFY MILITARY ACTION IN LIBYA. THE PRESIDENT CLAIMED THAT INTERVENTION WAS NECESSARY TO PREVENT A "BLOODBATH'' IN BENGHAZI, LIBYA'S SECOND-LARGEST CITY AND LAST REBEL STRONGHOLD.

BUT HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH HAS RELEASED DATA ON MISURATA, THE NEXT-BIGGEST CITY IN LIBYA AND SCENE OF PROTRACTED FIGHTING, REVEALING THATMOAMMAR KHADAFY IS NOT DELIBERATELY MASSACRING CIVILIANS BUT RATHER NARROWLY TARGETING THE ARMED REBELS WHO FIGHT AGAINST HIS GOVERNMENT.

"MISURATA'S POPULATION IS ROUGHLY 400,000. IN NEARLY TWO MONTHS OF WAR, ONLY 257 PEOPLE -- INCLUDING COMBATANTS -- HAVE DIED THERE. OF THE 949 WOUNDED, ONLY 22 -- LESS THAN 3 PERCENT -- ARE WOMEN. IF KHADAFY WERE INDISCRIMINATELY TARGETING CIVILIANS, WOMEN WOULD COMPRISE ABOUT HALF THE CASUALTIES. "

[YOUR AUTHOR WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT ON THE EVENING OF THE PUBLICATION OF THIS ARTICLE, DIANE SAWYER, ON ABC'S WORLD REPORT, WITH A PAINED EXPRESSION ON HER FACE SHOWED A VIDEO OF A YOUNG GIRL ON CAMERA IN MISURATA ASKING PATHETICALLY "WHY IS GADDAFI KILLING US?"

A TRUTHFUL REPORT FROM HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH HERE QUOTED IN THIS BOSTON GLOBE OPED DOES LITTLE TO ADDRESS THE COMPLICITY OF NEW YORK BASED HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH IN HAVING STOKED THE CREATION OF THE NOW FIRMLY HELD WIDESPREAD BELIEF THAT IN THE THIRD WEEK OF FEBRUARY OF PEACEFUL PROTESTERS WERE SHOT TO PIECES ON GADDAFI'S ORDERS. THE MYTH CREATED NOW ALLOWS EVERYONE ONE IN BUSINESS TO RUN WITH IT.]

"OBAMA INSISTED THAT PROSPECTS WERE GRIM WITHOUT INTERVENTION. "IF WE WAITED ONE MORE DAY, BENGHAZI " COULD SUFFER A MASSACRE THAT WOULD HAVE REVERBERATED ACROSS THE REGION AND STAINED THE CONSCIENCE OF THE WORLD.'' THUS, THE PRESIDENT CONCLUDED, "PREVENTING GENOCIDE'' JUSTIFIED US MILITARY ACTION.

BUT INTERVENTION DID NOT PREVENT GENOCIDE, BECAUSE NO SUCH BLOODBATH WAS IN THE OFFING. TO THE CONTRARY, BY EMBOLDENING REBELLION, US INTERFERENCE HAS PROLONGED LIBYA'S CIVIL WAR AND THE RESULTANT SUFFERING OF INNOCENTS.

THE BEST EVIDENCE THAT KHADAFY DID NOT PLAN GENOCIDE IN BENGHAZI IS THAT HE DID NOT PERPETRATE IT IN THE OTHER CITIES HE HAD RECAPTURED EITHER FULLY OR PARTIALLY -- INCLUDING ZAWIYA, MISURATA, AND AJDABIYA, WHICH TOGETHER HAVE A POPULATION GREATER THAN BENGHAZI.

LIBYAN FORCES DID KILL HUNDREDS AS THEY REGAINED CONTROL OF CITIES. COLLATERAL DAMAGE IS INEVITABLE IN COUNTER-INSURGENCY. ...

DESPITE UBIQUITOUS CELLPHONES EQUIPPED WITH CAMERAS AND VIDEO, THERE IS NO GRAPHIC EVIDENCE OF DELIBERATE MASSACRE. IMAGES ABOUND OF VICTIMS KILLED OR WOUNDED IN CROSSFIRE -- EACH ONE A TRAGEDY -- BUT THAT IS URBAN WARFARE, NOT GENOCIDE.

NOR DID KHADAFY EVER THREATEN CIVILIAN MASSACRE IN BENGHAZI, AS OBAMA ALLEGED . THE "NO MERCY'' WARNING, OF MARCH 17, TARGETED REBELS ONLY, AS REPORTED BY THE NEW YORK TIMES, WHICH NOTED THAT LIBYA'S LEADER PROMISED AMNESTY FOR THOSE "WHO THROW THEIR WEAPONS AWAY.'' KHADAFY EVEN OFFERED THE REBELS AN ESCAPE ROUTE AND OPEN BORDER TO EGYPT"

HEALTH, TRAINING, REHABILITATION, EDUCATION, HOUSING, FAMILY ISSUES, AND DISABILITY AND OLD-AGE BENEFITS ARE ALL REGULATED BY ... THE SOCIAL CARE FUND .THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IS NOT PURELY STATE-RUN BUT RATHER A MIXED SYSTEM OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE CARE. IN COMPARISON TO OTHER STATES IN THE MIDDLE EAST, THE HEALTH STATUS OF THE POPULATION IS RELATIVELY GOOD. CHILDHOOD IMMUNIZATION IS ALMOST UNIVERSAL. THE CLEAN WATER SUPPLY HAS INCREASED, AND SANITATION HAS BEEN IMPROVED. THE COUNTRY'S MAJOR HOSPITALS ARE IN TRIPOLI AND BENGHAZI, AND PRIVATE HEALTH CLINICS AND DIAGNOSTIC CENTERS, OFFERING NEWER EQUIPMENT AND BETTER SERVICE, COMPETE WITH THE PUBLIC SECTOR. THE NUMBER OF MEDICAL DOCTORS AND DENTISTS REPORTEDLY INCREASED SEVENFOLD BETWEEN 1970 AND 1985, PRODUCING A RATIO OF ONE DOCTOR PER 673 CITIZENS. IN 1985 ABOUT ONE-THIRD OF THE DOCTORS IN THE LIBYA WERE NATIVE-BORN, WITH THE REMAINDER BEING PRIMARILY EXPATRIATE FOREIGNERS. THE NUMBER OF HOSPITAL BEDS TRIPLED IN THIS SAME TIME PERIOD. MALARIA HAS BEEN ERADICATED, AND SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE AGAINST TRACHOMA AND LEPROSY. IN 1985 THE INFANT MORTALITY RATE WAS 84 PER 1,000; BY 2004, THE U.S. AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT ESTIMATED THAT THE INFANT MORTALITY RATE HAD DROPPED TO 25.7 PER 1,000. ...

WE REALLY DIDN'T SEE MUCH OF PLANES AND TANKS "UNLEASHED" UNTIL TRUCK LOADS OF HEAVILY ARMED REBELS WERE WELL ON THE ROAD TOWARD TRIPOLI. ONE DOES REMEMBER TWO PLANES DEFECTING TO MALTA, TWO OTHERS FALLING OUT OF THE SKY, ONE SHOT DOWN OVER THE OCEAN. NO PICTURES OF PLANES BOMBING CITIES. NO PROOF THAT ORDERS WERE GIVEN TO DO SO.

EVEN IN DERNA TODAY, A NUMBER OF CONSPIRATORS WERE EXECUTED. THEY WERE LOCKED UP IN THE HOLDING CELLS OF A POLICE STATION BECAUSE THEY RESISTED, AND SOME DIED BURNING INSIDE THE BUILDING."

"HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH SHORTLY AFTER SENT SOMEONE TO THE EAST OF LIBYA, AND THERE HE FOUND OUT THAT ALL THE 156 CAPTURED PEOPLE, WHICH THE REBELS DESCRIBED AS "AFRICAN MERCENARIES", WERE IN FACT NOT FOREIGN MERCENARIES, BUT LIBYANS WITH BLACK SKIN COLOR, AND THAT THEY SERVED AS REGULAR SOLDIERS IN THE ARMY OF LIBYA. HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH FOUND NO INDICATION THAT THE LIBYAN GOVERNMENT, AS CLAIMED BY THE REBELS, USED MERCENARIES AT ALL TO QUELL THE UPRISING IN EASTERN LIBYA.
THE ACTUALLY EXISTING STRONG SUPPORT FOR MUAMMAR GADDAFI BY BLACK-SKINNED LIBYANS HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH EXPLAINED WITH THE FACT THAT MUAMMAR GADDAFI DID A LOT IN THE PAST TO END THE DISCRIMINATION AGAINST BLACK PEOPLE IN LIBYA. SO IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE THAT THE REBELS HUNTED BLACK-SKINNED PEOPLE AND, REGARDLESS WHETHER THEY WERE LIBYAN SOLDIERS OR FOREIGN REFUGEES OF POVERTY, EXECUTED THEM AS A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE IF POSSIBLE." THE BRITISH GUARDIAN REPORTED FROM BENGHAZI

ON FEBRUARY 24TH, SHORTLY AFTER THE BEGINNINGBRITISH TELEGRAPH ALREADY REPORTED SOME MORE DETAILS REGARDING THE OBSERVANCE OF HUMAN RIGHTS BY THE NATO-BACKED GOVERNMENT OPPONENTS IN THE EAST OF LIBYA:
"AHMED AHMED IBRAHIM SHOWED VIDEO FOOTAGE HE HAD CAPTURED ON HIS MOBILE TELEPHONE OF AN AFRICAN MERCENARY HANGING FROM A MEAT-HOOK IN AN AL BAYDA DOORWAY. " MASQUERARDING AS PRO-GADDAFI PARTISANS, THEY DUPED THE MERCENARIES, WHO WERE DESCRIBED AS FRENCH-SPEAKING AFRICANS,CAPTURED THEM AND THEN DRAGGED THEM INTO THE STREETS OF AL BAYDA " MR. IBRAHIM, WHO WORKS IN A CAFE, SAID HE BELIEVES MOST WERE EXECUTED ALTHOUGH HE ONLY WITNESSED TWO SLAIN FOREIGNERS."

THE CRITERION "AFRICAN" HERE DOES NOT REFER -- OF COURSE, BECAUSE ALL LIBYANS ARE AFRICANS -- TO AN AFRICAN ORIGIN, BUT TO THE COLOR OF THE SKIN: "AFRICAN" HERE MEANS PEOPLE WITH BLACK SKIN. WHAT THE TELEGRAP H DESCRIBED IS APPLIED TO PEOPLE WITH BLACK SKIN, WHICH THE CIA-BACKED "REBELS" HAD IDENTIFIED AS "FOREIGN MERCENARIES.

LIBYA: REBELS EXECUTE BLACK IMMIGRANTS WHILE FORCES KIDNAP OTHERS 
SOMALILANDPRESS , SOMALIA
ADDIS ABABA -- WHILE MUCH OF THE WORLD'S ATTENTION IS FOCUSING ON CRUDE OIL PRICES AND THE LIBYAN PIPELINES IN THE EAST OF THE COUNTRY,HUMAN RIGHT GROUPS SAY REBELS ARE COMMITTING CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.

IN EAST LIBYA, AFRICAN HUNT BEGAN AS TOWNS AND CITIES BEGAN FALL UNDER THE CONTROL OF LIBYAN REBELS, MOBS AND GANGS. THEY STARTED TO DETAIN, INSULT, RAPE AND EVEN EXECUTING BLACK IMMIGRANTS, STUDENTS AND REFUGEES.

ACCORDING TO SOMALI REFUGEES IN LIBYA, AT LEASTFIVE SOMALIS FROM SOMALILAND AND SOMALIA WERE EXECUTED IN TRIPOLI AND BENGHAZI BY ANTI-GADDAFI MOBS. DOZENS OF REFUGEES AND IMMIGRANTS WORKERS FROM ETHIOPIA, ERITREA, GHANA, NIGERIA, CHAD, MALI AND NIGER HAVE BEEN KILLED, SOME OF THEM WERE LED INTO THE DESERT AND STABBED TO DEATH. BLACK LIBYAN MEN RECEIVING MEDICAL CARE IN HOSPITALS IN BENGHAZI WERE REPORTEDLY ABDUCTED BY ARMED REBELS. THEY ARE PART OF MORE THAN 200 AFRICAN IMMIGRANTS HELD IN SECRET LOCATIONS BY THE REBELS.

IN MANY DISPUTES INVOLVING LIBYAN RESIDENTS AND BLACK AFRICANS, THE LIBYANS ARE TURNING IN THE AFRICANS AS MERCENARIES.

THOUSANDS MORE AFRICANS CAUGHT UP IN THIS MERCENARY HYSTERIA ARE TERRIFIED. SOME BARRICADED THEMSELVES IN THEIR HOMES, WHILE OTHERS HID IN THE DESERT. INSULTED, THREATENED, BEATEN, CHASED AND ROBBED. THEIR ONLY CRIME WAS BEING BLACK AND THEREFORE TREATED AS "MERCENARIES" OF GADDAFI.

WHILE THE AIRING OF GADDAFI'S SO CALLED "BLACK MERCENARIES" BY WESTERN MEDIA HAS IGNITED THE ISSUE, SOME SAY AN XENOPHOBIC ATTITUDE TOWARDS THESE REFUGEES AND LABOURERS HAS EXISTED FOR YEARS.... IN MANY SITUATIONS, GADDAFI AND HIS INNER CIRCLE PREFERRED BLACK AFRICANS AND LIBYANS FROM THE SOUTH OVER LIBYANS FROM THE EAST. NOW THE ANGRY MOBS USING THE REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT ACROSS ARABIA AND NORTH AFRICA ARE HUNTING DOWN BLACK PEOPLE."

THE STATEMENT SAID SEVERAL CHADIAN NATIONALS HAD BEEN ARRESTED, SOME WERE "PARADED ON TELEVISION AS MERCENARIES AND SOMETIMES EXECUTED" DESPITE DENIALS THAT LIBYA HAD RECRUITED ANY MERCENARIES FROM ITS SOUTHERN NEIGHBOUR.
THE GOVERNMENT OF CHAD HAD SAID ABOUT 300,000 OF ITS CITIZENS RESIDED IN LIBYA BEFORE THE CRISIS.
"THE CHADIAN GOVERNMENT IS CALLING ON INTERNATIONAL COALITION FORCES INVOLVED IN LIBYA AND INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANISATION TO STOP THESE ABUSES AGAINST CHADIANS AND OTHER MIGRANT AFRICA WORKERS," THE STATEMENT SAID.

" OUR MAN IN TRIPOLI": US-NATO SPONSORED ISLAMIC TERRORISTS INTEGRATE LIBYA'S PRO-DEMOCRACY OPPOSITION BY MICHEL CHOSSUDOVSKY,GLOBALRESEARCH, 4/3/11

"THERE ARE VARIOUS FACTIONS WITHIN THE LIBYAN OPPOSITION: ROYALISTS, DEFECTORS FROM THE GADDAFI REGIME INCLUDING THE MINISTER OF JUSTICE AND MORE RECENTLY THE FOREIGN MINISTER, MOUSSA MOUSSA, MEMBERS OF THE LIBYAN ARMED FORCES, THE NATIONAL FRONT FOR THE SALVATION OF LIBYA (NFSL) AND THE NATIONAL CONFERENCE FOR THE LIBYAN OPPOSITION (NCLO) WHICH ACTS AS AN UMBRELLA ORGANIZATION.

RARELY ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE WESTERN MEDIA, THE LIBYA ISLAMIC FIGHTING GROUP (LIFG -- AL-JAMAA AL-ISLAMIYYAH AL-MUQATILAH BI LIBYA), IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE LIBYAN OPPOSITION. THE LIGF, WHICH IS ALIGNED WITH AL-QAEDA, IS IN THE FRONTLINE OF THE ARMED INSURRECTION."

CHOSSUDOVSKY, AN EMERITUS PROFESSOR OF ECONOMICS AT OTTAWA UNIVERSITY, AND DIRECTOR OF MONTREAL'S CENTRE FOR RESEARCH ON GLOBALIZATION, NOTES THAT THE PARAMILITARY LIFG WAS FOUNDED IN AFGHANISTAN BY VETERAN LIBYAN MUJAHEDEENS OF THE SOVIET-AFGHAN WAR". THERE ARE CONTRADICTORY REPORTS AS TO WHETHER THE LIFG IS PART OF AL QAEDA OR IS ACTING AS AN INDEPENDENT JIHADIST ENTITY.

" A SECRET CABLE TO THE STATE DEPARTMENT FROM THE US EMBASSY IN TRIPOLI IN 2008, PART OF THE WIKILEAKS TROVE, ENTITLED "EXTREMISM IN EASTERN LIBYA", WHICH REVEALED THAT THIS AREA IS RIFE WITH ANTI-AMERICAN, PRO-JIHAD SENTIMENT.

ACCORDING TO THE 2008 CABLE, THE MOST TROUBLING ASPECT "... IS THE PRIDE THAT MANY EASTERN LIBYANS, PARTICULARLY THOSE IN AND AROUND DERNAH, APPEAR TO TAKE IN THE ROLE THEIR NATIVE SONS HAVE PLAYED IN THE INSURGENCY IN IRAQ " [AND THE] ABILITY OF RADICAL IMAMS TO PROPAGATE MESSAGES URGING SUPPORT FOR AND PARTICIPATION IN JIHAD."

THE SECOND DOCUMENT, OR RATHER SET OF DOCUMENTS, ARE THE SO-CALLED SINJAR RECORDS, CAPTURED AL-QAEDA DOCUMENTS THAT FELL INTO AMERICAN HANDS IN 2007. THEY WERE DULY ANALYZED BY THE COMBATING TERRORISM CENTER AT THE US MILITARY ACADEMY AT WEST POINT. AL-QAEDA IS A BUREAUCRATIC OUTFIT AND THE RECORDS CONTAIN PRECISE DETAILS ON PERSONNEL, INCLUDING THOSE WHO CAME TO IRAQ TO FIGHT

AMERICAN AND COALITION FORCES AND, WHEN NECESSARY, COMMIT SUICIDE.

THE WEST POINT ANALYSTS' STATISTICAL STUDY OF THE AL-QAEDA PERSONNEL RECORDS CONCLUDES THAT ONE COUNTRY PROVIDED "FAR MORE" FOREIGN FIGHTERS IN PER CAPITA TERMS THAN ANY OTHER: NAMELY, LIBYA.
THE RECORDS SHOW THAT THE "VAST MAJORITY OF LIBYAN FIGHTERS THAT INCLUDED THEIR HOME TOWN IN THE SINJAR RECORDS RESIDED IN THE COUNTRY'S NORTHEAST". BENGHAZI PROVIDED MANY VOLUNTEERS. SO DID DERNAH, A TOWN ABOUT 200 KMS EAST OF BENGHAZI, IN WHICH AN ISLAMIC EMIRATE WAS DECLARED WHEN THE REBELLION AGAINST GADDAFI STARTED.

LIBYAN, ONCE A DETAINEE, IS NOW A U.S. ALLY OF SORTS 
BY ROD NORDLAND AND SCOTT SHANE NY TIMES, 4/24/11

DARNAH, LIBYA -- "FOR MORE THAN FIVE YEARS, ABU SUFIAN IBRAHIM AHMED HAMUDA BIN QUMU WAS A PRISONER AT THE GUANTáNAMO BAY PRISON, JUDGED "A PROBABLE MEMBER OF AL QAEDA" BY THE ANALYSTS THERE.

BASED ON A HUGE TROVE OF SECRET DOCUMENTS LEAKED LAST YEAR TO THE ANTI-SECRECY ORGANIZATION WIKILEAKS AND MADE AVAILABLE TO THE NEW YORK TIMES

TODAY, MR. QUMU, 51, IS A NOTABLE FIGURE IN THE LIBYAN REBELS' FIGHT TO OUST COL. MUAMMAR EL-QADDAFI, REPORTEDLY A LEADER OF A RAGTAG BAND OF FIGHTERS KNOWN AS THE DARNAH BRIGADE. THE FORMER ENEMY AND PRISONER OF THE UNITED STATES IS NOW AN ALLY OF SORTS, A REMARKABLE TURNABOUT RESULTING FROM SHIFTING AMERICAN POLICIES RATHER THAN ANY OBVIOUS CHANGE IN MR. QUMU.

HE WAS A TANK DRIVER IN THE LIBYAN ARMY IN THE 1980S, WHEN THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY WAS SPENDING BILLIONS TO SUPPORT RELIGIOUS MILITANTS TRYING TO DRIVE SOVIET TROOPS OUT OF AFGHANISTAN. MR. QUMU MOVED TO AFGHANISTAN IN THE EARLY 1990S, JUST AS OSAMA BIN LADEN AND OTHER FORMER MUJAHEDEEN WERE VIOLENTLY TURNING AGAINST THEIR FORMER BENEFACTOR, THE UNITED STATES.

HE WAS CAPTURED IN PAKISTAN AFTER THE SEPT. 11, 2001, TERRORIST ATTACKS, ACCUSED OF BEING A MEMBER OF THE MILITANT LIBYAN ISLAMIC FIGHTING GROUP, AND SENT TO GUANTáNAMO -- IN PART BECAUSE OF INFORMATION PROVIDED BY COLONEL QADDAFI'S GOVERNMENT.

" "HE WAS KNOWN AS ONE OF THE EXTREMIST COMMANDERS OF THE AFGHAN ARABS,' " 

WHEN THAT GUANTáNAMO ASSESSMENT WAS WRITTEN, THE UNITED STATES WAS WORKING CLOSELY WITH COLONEL QADDAFI'S INTELLIGENCE SERVICE AGAINST TERRORISM. NOW, THE UNITED STATES ... IS BACKING WITH AIR POWER THE REBELS, INCLUDING MR. QUMU. 


LIBYA: WIKILEAKS CABLES WARN OF EXTREMIST BELIEFS BY HEIDI BLAKE

LEAKED DIPLOMATIC CABLES OBTAINED BY THE WIKILEAKS DISCLOSE FEARS THAT EASTERN LIBYA IS BEING OVERRUN BY EXTREMISTS INTENT ON OVERTHROWING COLONEL GADDAFI'S REGIME.
CLICK HERE (FOR BENGHAZI BEING THE CLOSES AFRICAN PORT TO ITALY, IT HAS APPARENTLY BECOME A CRIME CENTER FOR THE LUCRATIVE HUMAN TRAFFIC TRADE WITH A LOT OF TOUGH HOMBRES IN TOWN.)

THE REVOLT STARTED IN BENGHAZI IN EASTERN LIBYA. A VERY IMPORTANT POINT NOT MENTIONED ANYWHERE IN THE INTERNATIONAL MEDIA IS THE FACT THAT DUE TO GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION, BEING ONE OF THE CLOSEST POINT TO EUROPE FROM THE AFRICAN CONTINENT, BENGHAZI HAS OVER THE PAST 15 YEARS OR SO BECOME THE EPICENTER OF AFRICAN MIGRATION TO EUROPE. THE HUMAN TRAFFICKING INDUSTRY, GREW INTO A BILLION DOLLAR A YEAR INDUSTRY IN BENGHAZI. WHEN THE FIRST DEMONSTRATIONS TOOK PLACE IN BENGHAZI THE LOOSE COALITION OF TERRORIST CELLS AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING GANGS IMMEDIATELY TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE TURMOIL TO ATTACK THE HIGH SECURITY PRISONS OUTSIDE OF BENGHAZI WHERE THEIR COMRADES WERE LOCKED UP.

US PAYMENTS TO ... AFGHAN WARLORDS THREATEN AMERICAN/NATO TROOP S 
ACCORDING TO SEPARATE CONGRESSIONAL AND SENATE REPORTS, THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT PAYS MORE THAN $2 BILLION FOR HOST NATION TRUCKING (HNT) OR IN LAYMAN'S TERMS, PRIVATE SECURITY FIRMS THAT PROTECT U.S. MILITARY CONVOYS AND MATERIALS IN DANGEROUS TRIBAL AREAS.

A REPORT TITLED "WARLORD, INC., EXTORTION AND CORRUPTION ALONG THE U.S. SUPPLY CHAIN IN AFGHANISTAN" WAS PUBLISHED BY CONGRESSMAN JOHN TIERNEY (D-MA) IN JUNE OF LAST YEAR. THE REPORT DETAILED THE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS SPENT TO PROTECT U.S. MILITARY SUPPLY CONVOYS IN AFGHANISTAN- THE MAJORITY OF THE MONEY IS PAID BY THE DOD THROUGH DEFENSE CONTRACTORS AND FINDS ITS WAY INTO THE HANDS OF TALIBAN LEADERS AND WARLORDS.
ACCORDING TO THE COMPREHENSIVE REPORT, THE PRINCIPAL PRIVATE SECURITY SUBCONTRACTORS ON THE HNT CONTRACT ARE WARLORDS, STRONGMEN, COMMANDERS, AND MILITIA LEADERS WHO COMPETE WITH THE AFGHAN CENTRAL GOVERNMENT FOR POWER AND AUTHORITY IN THE REGION."

THE CIA AGENT WHO SHOT TWO MEN IN PAKISTAN CITY WAS DISCOVERED BY PAKISTANI INVESTIGATORS TO HAVE TELEPHONE NUMBERS OF KNOWN AL QAEDA LINKED INSURGENTS. 

"THE EXPECTED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE ANTECEDENTS OF CIA AGENT RAYMOND DAVIS, CARRYING A US DIPLOMATIC PASSPORT, HAS COMPLICATED THE CASE OF MURDER AGAINST HIM AT A LAHORE SESSIONS COURT.

THIS REVELATION IS STRENGTHENED BY THE ADMISSION APPEARING IN THE HITHERTO SELF-GAGGED AMERICAN PRESS THAT HE WAS A CIA "CONTRACTOR' WORKING "UNDER COVER'. THE COMPLICATION INTRODUCED INTO THE RAYMOND DAVIS AFFAIR IS THAT HIGH FUNCTIONARIES IN PUNJAB ARE NOW SUGGESTING THAT HE BE TRIED IN A MILITARY COURT.

RAYMOND DAVIS: THE PLOT THICKENS 
EDITORIAL, TRIBUNE WITH INTERNATIONAL HEARLD TRIBUNE, 2/22/11

*(9) 
ONE PRESUMABLY CANNOT CORRECTLY UNDERSTAND THE EVENTS AND CHARACTER OF SOMEONE ELSE'S LIFE EXCEPT IN THE CONTEXT OF EVENTS, CONDITIONS AND CIRCUMSTANCES IN THE WORLD AROUND HIM OR HER.

FROM PAST HISTORY OF WESTERN IMPERIALISM, ONE MIGHT ASSUME THAT EVER SINCE A HANDSOME LOWEST RANK OFFICER GADHAFI OVERTHREW THE BRITISH INSTALLED KING IDRIS (1969) AND HAD LIBYA NATIONALIZE THE "FREE WORLD'S" OIL, M16, CIA, AND FRENCH SECRET SERVICE SHOULD HAVE HAD A RELATIVELY EASY TIME HATCHING PLOTS FOR GADDAFI'S ASSASSINATION WITHIN THE CONTENTIOUS TRIBAL SOCIETY OF THAT HALF-BERBER NATION. 

THIS JUST MIGHT PERHAPS EXPLAIN THE YEARS OF BACK AND FORTH COUNTER ASSASSINATION EPISODES CULMINATING, AFTER DECADES, WITH PRESIDENT REAGAN'S BOMBING ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE GADDAFI BY MISSILES FIRED ON HIS COMPOUND FROM PLANES OFF AN AIRCRAFT CARRIER THAT KILLED A HUNDRED LIBYANS, GADHAFI'S DAUGHTER AMONG THEM. THE "COMMUNITY OF NATIONS' NEVER HAS MUCH OF A PROBLEM WITH U.S. BOMBINGS. CONGLOMERATE MEDIA OF WESTERN SAVAGE CAPITALIST CIVILIZATION WENT ON BLAMING GADHAFI, AND NEVER PRESIDENT REAGAN. 

THEN CAME A BIZARRE ARRANGEMENT UNDER WHICH YEARS OF WESTERN NATION EMBARGOES AND SANCTIONS ON LIBYA WOULD BE LIFTED UPON LIBYA ALLOWING TWO LIBYANS TO STAND TRIAL IN SCOTLAND ON CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE AND LIBYA PAYING A INDEMNITY TO FAMILIES OF VICTIMS OF A PAMAM FLIGHT BOMBED OVER SCOTLAND BY PERSONS UNKNOWN. STRANGELY, AFTER A TRIAL ENDING IN CONVICTION THAT UNITED NATIONS SPECIAL RAPPORTEUR MICHAEL NOWAK AMONG OTHERS IN ATTENDANCE CALLED A "ABOMINABLE MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE," IN WHICH NO HARD EVIDENCE, WAS PRESENTED, LIBYA WAS ADMITTED TO THE "COMMUNITY OF NATIONS' AND ABLE TO TRADE ONCE MORE. 

WHEN ONE WHO WAS CONVICTED WAS RECENTLY RELEASED FOR BEING TERMINALLY ILL, OR BY COVERT AGREEMENT, WAS WELCOMED HOME AS A HERO FOR HIS WILLINGNESS TO SACRIFICE HIMSELF FOR THE NATIONS RESTITUTION, MAINSTREAM MEDIA HAD ITS CAPTIVE AUDIENCE HIT THE CEILING. ALL VERY CONFUSING, EXCEPT TO KNOW THAT SOMEHOW LIBYA'S OIL WAS SOMEHOW PLAYING A PART FROM THE TIME GADHAFI HAD LIBYA NATIONALIZE IT. SELF-RIGHTEOUS EMINENT WESTERN HERO POLITICIANS LIKE JOHN MCCAIN, THE TWENTY-FOUR TIME BOMBER OF HANOI, (BODY COUNT NOT AVAILABLE) FIGURES ON NO ONE READING UP ON THE TRIAL IN FOREIGN AND INDEPENDENT MEDIA, AS HE PROCLAIMS WITH TAKEN FOR GRANTED CERTAINTY THAT GADDAFI ORDERED THE BOMBING OF SAID PAN AM FLIGHT. 

GADDAFI'S, AS AN ARAB HAS BEEN OUTSPOKEN IN SUPPORT FOR PALESTINIANS IN THEIR STRUGGLE OVER THEIR LAND BEING TAKEN AWAY FROM THEM FIRSTLY BY THE COLONIAL-POWERS-FOUNDED-AND-CONTROLLED UNITED NATIONS, WHICH AWARDED MORE THAT 55% OF THE BRITISH MANDATE (COLONY) OF PALESTINE TO THE MAINLY EUROPEAN COLONIZING IMMIGRANT JEWISH THIRD OF THE THEN TOTAL POPULATION OF THE MANDATE. GADDAFI HOLDS THE BELIEF THAT THIS UN DECISION WAS MEANT TO BOTH ASSUAGE WEALTHY WHITE CAPITALISTS' CONSCIENCE FOR HAVING BUILT UP A POOR NAZI GERMANY TO WORLD #1 MILITARY POWER, KNOWINGLY INVESTING IN HITTERS WELL ANNOUNCED PLANS TO PERSECUTE JEWS, AND SECONDLY, TO ESTABLISH A COLONY OF EUROPEANS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OIL RICH ARAB WORLD.

PITILESSLY HATEFUL REMARKS ATTRIBUTED TO GADDAFI AFTER THE HORRIBLY INDISCRIMINATE MASSACRE AT ISRAEL'S LOD AIRPORT BY A JAPANESE TERRORIST GROUP, CAN BE UNDERSTOOD, IF NOT FORGIVEN, AS HAVING BEEN MADE BY SOMEONE SUFFERING THE AWARENESS THAT NONE OF THE MASSIVE NUMBER OF ISRAELI MASSACRES OF PALESTINIANS AND LEBANESE HAS EVER BEEN CONDEMNED BY EUROPEAN AND AMERICAN GOVERNMENTS OR IN THEIR NEWS MEDIA NOR BY THE ISRAELIS, ARABS ARE SUPPOSED TO CONDEMN THEIR RECIPROCATING ATROCITIES, BUT EXCEPT SOME EARNEST CRITICISM FROM SCANDINAVIA, ISRAELI MASSACRES ARE OF NO INTEREST IN WASHINGTON, LONDON AND PARIS.

THE SAME MIGHT BE SAID FOR THE DOUBLE STANDARD THAT RIGHTFULLY CONDEMNS FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR ARAB TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS BUT IS NOT EVEN INTERESTED IN AMERICAN AND EUROPEAN COVERT FUNDING OF TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS IN DOZENS OF THIRD WORLD NATIONS SINCE THE END WORLD WAR TWO AND BEFORE, INCLUDING THE CARTER/CIA FUNDING, ARMING AND TRAINING OF THE VERY FIRST FUNDAMENTALIST TERROR TO OVERTHROWN A WOMEN LIBERATING SOCIALIST KABUL GOVERNMENT AND DRAW THE SOVIETS INTO A TRAP. 

THIS IS THE "HOLIER THAN THOU' RACIST ATTITUDE IN A WORLD STILL BASICALLY OWNED AND MANIPULATED BY WEALTHY WHITE CAPITALISTS WITH FEW EXCEPTIONS.




WITH AFRICA EVER DOMINATED BY COMPETING EUROPEN INVESTMENTS AND COMPETING NATIONS FOR HEGEMONY AND PROFITS FUNDING TERROR AND CIVIL WAR TO THEIR INVESTMENTS ADVANTAGE, GADDAFI INEVITABLY HAS BEEN DRAWN IN TO SUPPORT WHICH EVER GROUP JUDGED TO BE FOR LIBERATION FROM CRUEL EUROPEAN EXPLOITATION, EUROPEANS IN THEIR CORPORATE CONTROLLED MEDIA ARE ABLE TO ACCUSE GADDAFI OF SUPPORTING TERROR. BUT IN THE CRUEL REALPOLITIK OF A NEO-COLONIZED AFRICA OF SHIFTING COVERT MACHINATIONS, NO ONE IS ABLE TO STAY CLEAN.


A MIXED BAG OF HORROR GROUPS FIGHTING IN CONSTANTLY PAID OFF ALLIANCES HAVE BEEN FUNDED AND SUPPORTED BY QUITE A LIST OF GOVERNMENTS, CORPORATIONS AND SECRET SERVICES OF EUOPEAN AND INTERWOVEN COMPRADOR AFRICA GOVERNMENTS 

BUT HERE WE COME TO THE END OF THE ABOVE LISTED ATTEMPTS TO DISMISS MUAMMAR GADDAFI AS A "MAD DOG' 

ON GADDAFI'S WATCH AND PROTECTION FROM EUROPEAN EXPLOITATION, LIBYA AS RISEN (ALONG WITH ALGERIA AND TUNISIA), FROM FROM THE DIRT POOR POVERTY OF THE REST OF AN AFRICA STILL CRUELLY ENSLAVED ECONOMICALLY, AFTER TWO CENTURIES OF MILITARY OCCUPATION AND THE EARLIER FORCED EXPORT OF MILLIONS TO SLAVE FOR FLEDGLING CAPITALISM IN THE WHITE MAN'S WORLD AT GUNPOINT. BUT ALGERIA HAS SUFFERED HORRIFIC VIOLENCE SINCE FREE OF FRENCH OCCUPATION, AND TUNISIA, THREE DECADES UNDER WESTERN INVESTMENT CAPITAL SUPPORTED DICTATOR BIN AIL, IS RANKED BY THE UN FAR BELOW (GADDAFI'S) LIBYA IN ITS HUMAN DEVELOPMENT INDEX 2010. LIBYA 53RD HIGHEST / TUNISIA 81ST (ALGERIA 84TH). 

GADHAFI LIKE NKRUMA BEFORE HIM, LEADS A MOVEMENT FOR AFRICAN UNITY AGAINST EUROPEAN ECONOMIC EXPLOITATION.
BEFORE THAT, GADDAFI WORKED FOR YEARS TO UNIFY THE ARAB NATION INTO ONE UNIFIED PAN-ARAB MOVEMENT FOLLOWING THE EFFORTS OF ANOTHER YOUNG REVOLUTIONARY OFFICER, GAMAL ABDEL NASSER OF EGYPT, WHO WAS ALSO REVILED IN THE ARAB WORLD DOMINATING INDUSTRIALIZED NATIONS. 

GADDAFI IS NO "RAMBLING SPEAKING," INAPPROPRIATELY DRESSED "MAD DOG" FOR THE UNDESERVING POOR, AND BY IMPERIALISM OPPRESSED, MAJORITY OF THE NEARLY SEVEN BILLION HUMAN BEINGS THAT MAKE UP HUMANITY, STRUGGLING TO SURVIVE ON A PLANET HALF OWNED MOSTLY CONTROLLED BY PRIVATE FINANCE INVESTMENT CAPITAL. FOR MAJORITY MANKIND GADDAFI IS IN A CATEGORY WITH FIDEL CASTRO, CHE GUEVARA, HUGO CHAVEZ, EVO MORALES, RAFAEL CORREA, PATRICE LUMUMBA AND OTHERS WHO HAVE FOUGHT TO LIBERATE THE DISENFRANCHISED AND EXPLOITED FROM LACK OF FOOD, HEALTH CARE, EDUCATION OF DECENT INCOME FOR THEIR CHILDREN. 

INTERESTINGLY A MAN WHO HAS LED LIBYA THROUGH AN ARAB SOCIALISM OF HAVING BY UN RANKING THE HIGHEST LIVING STANDARD FAR ABOVE OTHERS IN AFRICA IN LONGEVITY, INFANT MORTALITY, ACCESS TO FREE EDUCATION AND HEALTH CARE TO A DEGREE MUCH HIGHER THAN NINE EUROPEAN COUNTRIES INCLUDING RUSSIA, AND HAS BEEN CLEVER ENOUGH TO SURVIVE SO MANY ASSASSINATION ATTEMPTS, INCLUDING THE REAGAN ORDERED AIR STRIKE ON HIS HOME THAT KILLED HIS DAUGHTER AMONG A HUNDRED OTHERS, BE ABOUT MASSACRING HIS OWN PEOPLE ACCORDING TO CNN AND OTHER CORPORATE OWNED DISREPUTABLE NEWS GATHERING MEDIA WITH A HISTORY OF MANUFACTURING CONSENT FOR DOZENS OF BLOODY U.S. WARS IN THE THIRD WORLD?

AND THE SCHLOCK OF LIES AND ABSURD INNUENDOE GOES ON WITH ALL KINDS OF OBVIOUSLY PLANTED STORIES ABOUT AMERICA'S ENEMIES. LIES WHICH THOUGH EVENTUALLY WILL BE FOUND OUT AND PROVEN FALSE WHEN THE ISSUE IS NO LONGER TOPICAL AND OF INTEREST. WHO CARES ABOUT THE GULF OF TONKIN LIES, THE IRAQ WMD LIES, THAT IRAQI SOLDIERS DIDN'T PULL OUT THE LIFE SUSTAINING TUBES OF BABIES IN KUWAIT HOSPITALS, THAT THE PLANES THAT BOMBED CUBA WERE INDEED AMERICAN, THAT THE DUG UP NORTH KOREAN TORPEDO COULD NOT HAVE BLOWN A SOUTH KOREAN WARSHIP IN TWO? BOOKS HAVE BEEN FILLED UP WITH SUCH LIES WITH ABSOLUTELY NO ATTENTION RECEIVED FROM EMINENT AND ESTEEMED LIARS.

LIES HAVE LONG BECOME A WAY OF LIFE IN MILITARY, JINGOISTIC, BIG BROTHER MEDIA APPROACHING THE LEVEL OF DESCRIBED IN GEORGE ORWELL'S NOVEL,"1984." ONLY GADDAFI AND WE OURSELVES ARE LIVING IN 2011, A DATE TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS ON, IN A CLIMATE OF CORPORATE MIND CONTROL THROUGH PROGRAMED FEAR, DISINFORMATION AND SELF-SERVING BUT DANGEROUS RIGHTEOUS PRIDE IN IGNORANCE MORE ADVANCED THAN WE THINK.

AUTHOR FINDS GADDAFI'S SHORT SELF-DEFENSE WORTH THE READ FOR HIS DESCRIPTION OF THE INHUMANITY OF CAPITALIST GOVERNANCE.

"BOMBING OF LIBYA -- PUNISHMENT FOR GADDAFI FOR HIS ATTEMPT TO REFUSE US DOLLAR' , "CHINA HAD ANNOUNCED MINTING OF GOLDEN YUAN AND THE EASTERN COUNTRIES ALSO DISCUSSED THE POSSIBILITY OF GOLDEN STANDARD. MUMMAR GHADDAFI BECAME THE MAIN INITIATOR OF IDEA OF REFUSING FROM DOLLAR AND EURO AND CALLED ON ARAB AND AFRICAN NATIONS TO USE A NEW CURRENCY INSTEAD, THE PERSIAN GOLD DINAR. IN 2002 MALAYSIAN PRIME MINISTER MUHAMMAD TOGETHER WITH MUMMAR GHADDAFI PROPOSED INITIATIVE TO LAUNCH GOLDEN DINAR. AT THE BEGINNING THIS IDEA WAS APPROVED BY IRAQ, SUDAN AND BRUNEY, NEXT YEAR INDONESIA, UNITED ARABIAN EMIRATES AND OTHER COUNTRIES JOINED TO IT. THEY BEGAN WORK ON THIS IDEA. THERE WERE SOME SESSIONS OF MINISTERS OF FINANCE OF THESE COUNTRIES AND THE PROJECT ABOUT REFUSING FROM DOLLAR AND EURO AND USING GOLDEN DINAR BEGAN TO BE TRANSFERED TO LIFE. THERE WAS A PILOT PROJECT WHERE GOLDEN COINS WERE ALREADY MINTED AND IT BEGAN TO BE USED IN MALAYSIA, INDONESIA AND IRAN. THEY WERE EVEN USED IN COMMON SHOPS AND THEY ARE STILL CAN BE USED THERE AS WELL AS COMMON BANKNOTE MONEY.IT MEANS THAT IF MUAMMAR GHADDAFI WILL DROP BANK SYSTEM AND WILL START TRADE ONLY IN GOLD, HE WILL TRADE ONLY WITH COUNTRIES THAT HAVE GOLD. (CHINA HAS ALMOST CORNERED THE GOLD MARKET?) ... THERE MUST BE CHAIN REACTION, BECAUSE EVERYONE IS TIRED TO BE A SLAVE FOR USA FEDERAL RESERVE FOND AND ITS HEAD MR. BERNANKE. BECAUSE BERNANKE GIVES MONEY IN DEBT FOR USA (FEDERAL RESERVE FOND OF USA GIVES MONEY TO CENTRAL BANK OF USA). IF MUAMMAN GHADDAFI FOUND TIME TO LAUNCH GOLDEN COINS BEFORE THE WAR STARTED, NOT ONLY MUSLIM COUNTRIES WOULD FOLLOW HIM. THERE WOULD BE MANY COUNTRIES, INCLUDING MAYBE EVEN GERMANY. EVERYONE IN THE WORLD WHO DOESN'T WANT TO BE A SLAVE OF BERNANKE WANTS TO TRADE FOR GOLD.

GADDAFI SUGGESTED ESTABLISHING A UNITED AFRICAN CONTINENT, WITH ITS 200 MILLION PEOPLE USING THIS SINGLE CURRENCY. DURING THE PAST YEAR, THE IDEA WAS APPROVED BY MANY ARAB COUNTRIES AND MOST AFRICAN COUNTRIES. THE ONLY OPPONENTS WERE THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA AND THE HEAD OF THE LEAGUE OF ARAB STATES. THE INITIATIVE WAS VIEWED NEGATIVELY BY THE US AND THE EUROPEAN UNION, WITH FRENCH PRESIDENT NICOLAS SARKOZY CALLING LIBYA A THREAT TO THE FINANCIAL SECURITY OF MANKIND; BUT GADDAFI WAS NOT SWAYED AND CONTINUED HIS PUSH FOR THE CREATION OF A UNITED AFRICA.

IF THE GADDAFI GOVERNMENT GOES DOWN, IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO WATCH WHETHER THE NEW CENTRAL BANK [CREATED BY THE REBELS IN MARCH] JOINS THE BIS, WHETHER THE NATIONALISED OIL INDUSTRY GETS SOLD OFF TO INVESTORS, AND WHETHER EDUCATION AND HEALTHCARE CONTINUE TO BE FREE."

WORLD BANK'S ZOELLICK: HOPES BANK WILL HAVE ROLE IN LIBYA BY JEFFREY SPARSHOTT DOW JONES NEWSWIRES , 4/14/11

WASHINGTON -(DOW JONES)- WORLD BANK PRESIDENT ROBERT ZOELLICK THURSDAY SAID HE HOPES THE INSTITUTION WILL HAVE A ROLE REBUILDING LIBYA AS IT EMERGES FROM CURRENT UNREST. ZOELLICK AT A PANEL DISCUSSION NOTED THE BANK'S EARLY ROLE IN THE RECONSTRUCTION OF FRANCE, JAPAN AND OTHER NATIONS AFTER WORLD WAR II.
"RECONSTRUCTION NOW MEANS IVORY COAST, IT MEANS SOUTHERN SUDAN, IT MEANS LIBERIA, IT MEANS SRI LANKA, I HOPE IT WILL MEAN LIBYA," ZOELLICK SAID.

JOHN PERKINS EXPLAIN HOW LIBYA CHALLENGED WORLD BANKING SYSTEM THAT FAVORS THE CORPORATOCRACY I N IT'S NOT ABOUT OIL, IT'S ABOUT CURRENCY AND LOANS 

"ACCORDING TO THE IMF, LIBYA'S CENTRAL BANK IS 100% STATE OWNED. THE IMF ESTIMATES THAT THE BANK HAS NEARLY 144 TONS OF GOLD IN ITS VAULTS. IT IS SIGNIFICANT THAT IN THE MONTHS RUNNING UP TO THE UN RESOLUTION THAT ALLOWED THE US AND ITS ALLIES TO SEND TROOPS INTO LIBYA, MUAMMAR AL-QADDAFI WAS OPENLY ADVOCATING THE CREATION OF A NEW CURRENCY THAT WOULD RIVAL THE DOLLAR AND THE EURO. IN FACT, HE CALLED UPON AFRICAN AND MUSLIM NATIONS TO JOIN AN ALLIANCE THAT WOULD MAKE THIS NEW CURRENCY, THE GOLD DINAR, THEIR PRIMARY FORM OF MONEY AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE. THEY WOULD SELL OIL AND OTHER RESOURCES TO THE US AND THE REST OF THE WORLD ONLY FOR GOLD DINARS.


THE US, THE OTHER G-8 COUNTRIES, THE WORLD BANK, IMF, BIS, AND MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS DO NOT LOOK KINDLY ON LEADERS WHO THREATEN THEIR DOMINANCE OVER WORLD CURRENCY MARKETS OR WHO APPEAR TO BE MOVING AWAY FROM THE INTERNATIONAL BANKING SYSTEM THAT FAVORS THE CORPORATOCRACY. SADDAM HUSSEIN HAD ADVOCATED POLICIES SIMILAR TO THOSE EXPRESSED BY QADDAFI SHORTLY BEFORE THE US SENT TROOPS INTO IRAQ.

IN MY TALKS, I OFTEN FIND IT NECESSARY TO REMIND AUDIENCES OF A POINT THAT SEEMS OBVIOUS TO ME BUT IS MISUNDERSTOOD BY SO MANY: THAT THE WORLD BANK IS NOT REALLY A WORLD BANK AT ALL; IT IS, RATHER A U. S. BANK. DITTO, ITS CLOSEST SIBLING, THE IMF. IN FACT, IF ONE LOOKS AT THE WORLD BANK AND IMF EXECUTIVE BOARDS AND THE VOTES EACH MEMBER OF THE BOARD HAS, ONE SEES THAT THE UNITED STATES CONTROLS ABOUT 16 PERCENT OF THE VOTES IN THE WORLD BANK - (COMPARED WITH JAPAN AT ABOUT 7%, THE SECOND LARGEST MEMBER, CHINA AT 4.5%, GERMANY WITH 4.00%, AND THE UNITED KINGDOM AND FRANCE WITH ABOUT 3.8% EACH), NEARLY 17% OF THE IMF VOTES (COMPARED WITH JAPAN AND GERMANY AT ABOUT 6% AND UK AND FRANCE AT NEARLY 5%), AND THE US HOLDS VETO POWER OVER ALL MAJOR DECISIONS. FURTHERMORE, THE UNITED STATES PRESIDENT APPOINTS THE WORLD BANK PRESIDENT.

SO, WE MIGHT ASK OURSELVES: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A "ROGUE" COUNTRY THREATENS TO BRING THE BANKING SYSTEM THAT BENEFITS THE CORPORATOCRACY TO ITS KNEES? "

US TO RECOUP LIBYAN OIL FROM CHINA 

INTERVIEW WITH DR. PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS, FORMER ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF US TREASURY.

BY PRESS TV / APRIL 20TH, 2011

"LIBYAN RULER MUAMMAR QADDAFI HAS MADE TWO MISTAKES: IT BLOCKED THE US AFRICA COMMAND BY NOT JOINING IT AND LET CHINA INTO LIBYA WITH MAJOR ENERGY INVESTMENTS INSTEAD, SAYS A FORMER US OFFICIAL.

PRESS TV HAS INTERVIEWED DR. PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS, FORMER ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF US TREASURY FROM PANAMA CITY, WHO GIVES HIS INSIGHT ON THE REVOLUTION IN LIBYA AND WHY US PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA NEEDS TO OVERTHROW QADDAFI WHEN NO OTHER US PRESIDENTS DID.

PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS: YES THEY DO. FIRST OF ALL, NOTICE THAT THE PROTESTS IN LIBYA ARE DIFFERENT FROM THE ONES IN EGYPT OR YEMEN OR BAHRAIN OR TUNISIA AND THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT THIS IS AN ARMED REBELLION.

THERE ARE MORE DIFFERENCES: ANOTHER IS THAT THESE PROTESTS ORIGINATED IN THE EASTERN PART OF LIBYA WHERE THE OIL IS -- THEY DID NOT ORIGINATE IN THE CAPITAL CITIES. AND WE HAVE HEARD FROM THE BEGINNING, CREDIBLE REPORTS THAT THE CIA IS INVOLVED IN THE PROTESTS AND THERE HAVE BEEN A LARGE NUMBER OF PRESS REPORTS THAT THE CIA HAS SENT BACK TO LIBYA ITS LIBYAN ASSET TO HEAD UP THE LIBYAN REBELLION.

IN MY OPINION, WHAT THIS IS ABOUT IS TO ELIMINATE CHINA FROM THE MEDITERRANEAN. CHINA HAS EXTENSIVE ENERGY INVESTMENTS AND CONSTRUCTION INVESTMENTS IN LIBYA. THEY ARE LOOKING TO AFRICA AS A FUTURE ENERGY SOURCE.

THE US IS COUNTERING THIS BY ORGANIZING THE UNITED STATES AFRICAN COMMAND (USAC), WHICH QADDAFI REFUSED TO JOIN. SO THAT'S THE SECOND REASON FOR THE AMERICANS TO WANT QADDAFI OUT.

AND THE THIRD REASON IS THAT LIBYA CONTROLS PART OF THE MEDITERRANEAN COAST AND IT'S NOT IN AMERICAN HANDS.

THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE IN THERE FIGHTING TOGETHER WITH THE REBELS.

BUT OF COURSE THE CIA IS. I THE NEXT TARGET WILL BE SYRIA BECAUSE SYRIA HAS ALREADY BEEN DEMONIZED.

WHY ARE THEY TARGETING SYRIA? -- BECAUSE THE RUSSIANS HAVE A VERY LARGE NAVAL BASE IN SYRIA. AND IT GIVES THE RUSSIAN NAVY A PRESENCE IN THE MEDITERRANEAN; THE US AND NATO DO NOT WANT THAT. IF THERE IS SUCCESS IN OVERTHROWING QADDAFI, SYRIA IS NEXT.

ALREADY, THEY ARE BLAMING IRAN FOR SYRIA AND LIBYA. IRAN IS A MAJOR TARGET BECAUSE IT IS AN INDEPENDENT STATE THAT IS NOT A PUPPET OF THE WESTERN COLONIALISTS.


PRESS TV: WITH REGARDS TO THE EXPANSIONIST AGENDA OF THE WEST, WHEN THE UN MANDATE ON LIBYA WAS DEBATED IN THE UN SECURITY COUNCIL, RUSSIA DID NOT VETO IT. SURELY RUSSIA MUST SEE THIS EXPANSIONIST POLICY OF THE US, FRANCE AND BRITAIN.

PCR: YES THEY MUST SEE THAT; AND THE SAME FOR CHINA. IT'S A MUCH GREATER THREAT TO CHINA BECAUSE IT HAS 50 MAJOR INVESTMENT PROJECTS IN EASTERN LIBYA. SO THE QUESTION IS WHY DID RUSSIA AND CHINA ABSTAIN RATHER THAN VETO AND BLOCK? WE DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER.

POSSIBLY THE COUNTRIES ARE THINKING LET THE AMERICANS GET FURTHER OVER EXTENDED OR THEY MAY NOT HAVE WANTED TO CONFRONT THEM WITH A MILITARY OR DIPLOMATIC POSITION AND HAVE AN ONSLAUGHT OF WESTERN PROPAGANDA AGAINST THEM. WE DON'T KNOW THE REASONS, BUT WE KNOW THEY DID ABSTAIN BECAUSE THEY DID NOT AGREE WITH THE POLICY AND THEY CONTINUE TO CRITICIZE IT.

THE CIA IS THE ORIGINATOR OF THIS SO-CALLED REVOLT AND PROTEST AND IS FOMENTING IT AND CONTROLLING IT IN A WAY THAT EXCLUDES CHINA FROM ITS OWN LIBYAN OIL INVESTMENTS.

IN MY OPINION, WHAT IS GOING ON IS COMPARABLE TO WHAT THE US AND BRITAIN DID TO JAPAN IN THE 1930S. WHEN THEY CUT JAPAN OFF FROM OIL, FROM RUBBER, FROM MINERALS LIKE ORE; THAT WAS THE ORIGIN OF WORLD WAR II IN THE PACIFIC. AND NOW THE AMERICANS AND THE BRITISH ARE DOING THE SAME THING TO CHINA.

THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT CHINA HAS NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND IT ALSO HAS A STRONGER ECONOMY THAN DO THE AMERICANS. AND SO THE AMERICANS ARE TAKING A VERY HIGH RISK NOT ONLY WITH THEMSELVES, BUT WITH THE REST OF THE WORLD. THE ENTIRE WORLD IS NOW AT STAKE ON AMERICAN OVER-REACH; AMERICAN HUBERUS -- THE DRIVE FOR AMERICAN HEGEMONY OVER THE WORLD IS DRIVING THE REST OF THE WORLD INTO A WORLD WAR."

PRESS TV: SO THESE OTHER COUNTRIES WOULD WELCOME HAVING NATO TROOPS ON THE GROUND?

PCR: OF COURSE. THEY ARE IN THE CIAS POCKET. IT'S A CIA OPERATION, NOT A LEGITIMATE PROTEST OF THE LIBYAN PEOPLE. IT'S AN ARMED REBELLION THAT HAS NO SUPPORT IN THE CAPITAL CITY. IT'S TAKING PLACE IN THE EAST WHERE THE OIL IS AND IS DIRECTED AT CHINA.

QADDAFI HAS BEEN RULING FOR 40 YEARS -- HE GOES BACK TO GAMAL ABDEL NASSER (BEFORE ANWAR SADAT) WHO WANTED TO GIVE INDEPENDENCE TO EGYPT.

HE (QADDAFI) WAS NEVER BEFORE CALLED A BRUTAL DICTATOR THAT HAS TO BE REMOVED. NO OTHER PRESIDENT HAS EVER SAID QADDAFI HAS TO GO. NOT EVEN RONALD REAGAN WHO ACTUALLY BOMBED QADDAFI'S COMPOUND AND TRIED TO KILL HIM. BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN HE HAS TO GO. WHY?

BECAUSE HE'S BLOCKING THE US AFRICAN COMMAND, HE CONTROLS PART OF THE MEDITERRANEAN AND HE HAS LET CHINA IN TO FIND ITS ENERGY NEEDS FOR THE FUTURE. WE (THE US) ARE TRYING TO CRIPPLE OUR MAIN RIVAL, CHINA BY DENYING IT ENERGY. THAT'S WHAT THIS IS REALLY ABOUT; A REACTION BY THE US.

IF THE US WAS CONCERNED ABOUT HUMANITARIANISM, IT WOULDN'T BE KILLING ALL THESE PEOPLE IN AFGHANISTAN AND PAKISTAN WITH THEIR DRONES AND MILITARY STRIKES. ALMOST ALWAYS IT'S CIVILIANS THAT ARE KILLED. AND THE US IS RELUCTANT TO ISSUE APOLOGIES ABOUT ANY OF IT. THEY SAY WE THOUGHT WE WERE KILLING TALIBAN OR SOME OTHER MADE-UP ENEMY.

PRESS TV: WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM ALL OF THIS OTHER THAN THE US? THE OTHER COUNTRIES THAT COMPLY WITH US WISHES- WHAT DO THEY STAND TO GAIN FROM THIS?

PCR: WE ARE ONLY TALKING ABOUT NATO COUNTRIES, THE AMERICAN PUPPET STATES. BRITAIN, FRANCE, ITALY, GERMANY, ALL BELONG TO THE AMERICAN EMPIRE. WE'VE HAD TROOPS STATIONED IN GERMANY SINCE 1945. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT 66 YEARS OF AMERICAN OCCUPATION OF GERMANY. THE AMERICANS HAVE MILITARY BASES IN ITALY -- HOW IS THAT AN INDEPENDENT COUNTRY? FRANCE WAS SOMEWHAT INDEPENDENT UNTIL WE PUT SARKOZY IN POWER. SO THEY ALL DO WHAT THEY'RE TOLD.

AMERICA WANTS TO RULE RUSSIA, CHINA, IRAN, AND AFRICA, ALL OF SOUTH AMERICA. THEY WANT HEGEMONY OVER THE WORLD. THAT'S WHAT THE WORD HEGEMONY MEANS. AND THEY WILL PURSUE IT AT ALL COSTS.

WAR IN LIBYA COULD DRAG ON, MILITARY ANALYSTS SAY , NEW YORK TIMES 4/20/11 BY STEVEN ANGER
PARIS -- "FRANCE AND ITALY SAID WEDNESDAY THAT THEY WOULD JOIN BRITAIN IN SENDING LIAISON OFFICERS TO SUPPORT THE REBEL ARMY IN LIBYA, IN WHAT MILITARY ANALYSTS SAID WAS A SIGN THAT THERE WOULD BE NO QUICK AND EASY END TO THE WAR IN LIBYA."


WHEW! MEGA COLONIAL CONQUERERS AND EXPLOITERS OF AFRICA, BRITAIN AND FRANCE BAD ENOUGH, BUT TO THINK THAT THE ITALIAN GOVERNMENT WHICH ONCE BROUGHT DEATH TO MILLIONS OF LIBYANS, NOW SENDS MILITARY ADVISERS TO HELP OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT IT APOLOGIZED TO (UNDER GADDAFI)??

"THE DISPATCHING OF THE LIAISON OFFICERS -- PROBABLY FEWER THAN 40 OF THEM, AND CAREFULLY NOT DESIGNATED AS MILITARY TRAINERS -- IS A SIGN ALSO, THEY SAID, THAT ONLY A COMBINATION OF MILITARY PRESSURE FROM THE SKY, ECONOMIC PRESSURE ON THE GOVERNMENT AND A BETTER-ORGANIZED AND COORDINATED REBEL FORCE WILL FINALLY CONVINCE COL. MUAMMAR EL-QADDAFI THAT HE HAS NO OPTION BUT TO QUIT."

"SOME COUNTRIES THOUGHT THE LIBYA OPERATION COULD BE OVER QUICKLY," SAID A SENIOR NATO AMBASSADOR. "BUT NO MILITARY COMMANDER THINKS SO." 

AND NOW, ONE SUPPOSES THE INVESTORS IN WAR CAN SIT BACK AND RELAX KNOWING THAT A LONG DRAWN OUT BLOODIEST OF WARS IS GOING ALONG AS HOPED FOR, BECAUSE OBAMA HAS ORDERED PERSONNEL SITING IN FRONT OF A SCREEN OF COORDINATES SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDWEST TO BEGIN FIRING THOSE PIN POINT ACCURATE MISSILES FROM DRONES ALREADY IN THE AIR IN RECONNAISSANCE OVER MISURATE, LIBYA. THIS IN TURN HAS PRECIPITATED A WIDENING OF THE FIGHTING ACCORDING TO BBC APRIL 22.

LIBYA CRISIS: MISRATA TRIBES 'MAY FIGHT REBELS'
HTTP://WWW.BBC.CO.UK/NEWS/WORLD-AFRICA-13173628
TRIBES LOYAL TO LIBYAN LEADER MUAMMAR GADDAFI HAVE GIVEN THE ARMY AN ULTIMATUM TO DRIVE REBELS OUT OF THE BESIEGED CITY OF MISRATA OR LET THEM DO THE JOB, A SENIOR OFFICIAL SAYS.
DEPUTY FOREIGN MINISTER KHALED KAIM SAID THE ARMY HAD TRIED TO KEEP CIVILIAN CASUALTIES LOW BUT HE TRIBES WOULD NOT SHOW THE SAME RESTRAINT. THE TRIBES WERE ANGRY THAT PEOPLE'S LIVES HAD BEEN DISRUPTED BY WEEKS OF FIGHTING THAT HAD CUT THE MAIN COASTAL ROAD AND STOPPED TRADE IN THE CITY.
TRIBAL LEADERS SAY THE SEAPORT IS FOR ALL LIBYANS NOT JUST THE REBELS, MR KAIM SAID.

"THE TACTIC OF THE ARMY IS TO HAVE A SURGICAL SOLUTION BUT WITH THE (NATO) AIR STRIKES IT DOESN'T WORK." THE US HAS AUTHORISED THE USE OF ARMED, UNMANNED PREDATOR DRONES OVER LIBYA TO GIVE "PRECISION CAPABILITIES". 

US ADM MIKE MULLEN, SAID THE WAR IN LIBYA WAS "MOVING TOWARDS STALEMATE" , EVEN THOUGH US AND NATO AIR STRIKES HAVE DESTROYED 30-40% OF LIBYA'S GROUND FORCES. 

GUARDIAN, UK , 4/21/11, DAVID SWANSON LIBYA: ANOTHER NEOCON WAR 
CLICK HERE
FORMER SUPREME ALLIED COMMANDER EUROPE OF NATO, FROM 1997 TO 2000, WESLEY CLARK CLAIMS THAT IN 2001, A GENERAL IN THE PENTAGON SHOWED HIM A PIECE OF PAPER AND SAID:

"I JUST GOT THIS MEMO TODAY OR YESTERDAY FROM THE OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF DEFENCE UPSTAIRS. IT'S A, IT'S A FIVE-YEAR PLAN. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE DOWN SEVEN COUNTRIES IN FIVE YEARS. WE'RE GOING TO START WITH IRAQ, THEN SYRIA, LEBANON, THEN LIBYA, SOMALIA, SUDAN, WE'RE GOING TO COME BACK AND GET IRAN IN FIVE YEARS."

THAT AGENDA FIT PERFECTLY WITH THE PLANS OF WASHINGTON INSIDERS, SUCH AS THOSE WHO FAMOUSLY SPELLED OUT THEIR INTENTIONS IN THE REPORTS OF THE THINKTANK CALLED THE PROJECT FOR THE NEW AMERICAN CENTURY. THE FIERCE IRAQI AND AFGHAN RESISTANCE DIDN'T FIT AT ALL. NEITHER DID THE NONVIOLENT REVOLUTIONS IN TUNISIA AND EGYPT. BUT TAKING OVER LIBYA STILL MAKES PERFECT SENSE IN THE NEOCONSERVATIVE WORLDVIEW. 

THE LIBYAN GOVERNMENT CONTROLS MORE OF ITS OIL THAN ANY OTHER NATION ON EARTH, AND IT IS THE TYPE OF OIL THAT EUROPE FINDS EASIEST TO REFINE. LIBYA ALSO CONTROLS ITS OWN FINANCES, LEADING AMERICAN AUTHOR ELLEN BROWN TO POINT OUT AN INTERESTING FACT ABOUT THOSE SEVEN COUNTRIES NAMED BY CLARK:

"WHAT DO THESE SEVEN COUNTRIES HAVE IN COMMON? IN THE CONTEXT OF BANKING, ONE THAT STICKS OUT IS THAT NONE OF THEM IS LISTED AMONG THE 56 MEMBER BANKS OF THE BANK FOR INTERNATIONAL SETTLEMENTS (BIS). THAT EVIDENTLY PUTS THEM OUTSIDE THE LONG REGULATORY ARM OF THE CENTRAL BANKERS' CENTRAL BANK IN SWITZERLAND."

- LIBYA'S GREAT MAN-MADE RIVER (GMMR). 

THE NUBIAN SANDSTONE AQUIFER SYSTEM (NSAS) LIES BENEATH FOUR NORTH AFRICAN COUNTRIES - CHAD, EGYPT, SUDAN AND LIBYA, CALLED THE WORLD'S LARGEST FOSSIL WATER SYSTEM BECAUSE IT'S ANCIENT AND NON-RENEWABLE. IN FACT, THE QUR'AN'S (KORAN) SURAH 2, VERSE 74 SAYS:

"FOR AMONG ROCKS THERE ARE SOME FROM WHICH RIVERS GUSH FORTH; OTHERS THERE ARE WHICH WHEN SPLIT ASUNDER SEND FORTH WATER."

IN FACT, THREE MAJOR AQUIFERS LIE BENEATH THE SAHARA, NSAS THE LARGEST, CONTAINING AN ESTIMATED 375,000 CUBIC KM OF WATER.


COVERING TWO MILLION SQUARE KM, IT'S AN OCEAN OF WATER BENEATH THE DESERT FOR IRRIGATION, HUMAN CONSUMPTION, DEVELOPMENT, AND OTHER USES. AT 2007 CONSUMPTION RATES, IT COULD LAST 1,000 YEARS. GADDAFI CALLS NSAS THE "EIGHTH WONDER OF THE WORLD." ITS WEB SITE SAYS IT'S THE LARGEST GLOBAL UNDERGROUND NETWORK OF PIPES AND AQUEDUCTS, CONSISTING OF:

-- OVER 1,300 WELLS;

-- 7 MILLION MILES OF PRE-STRESSED STEEL WIRE TO STRENGTHEN 12-FOOT DIAMETER PIPES;

-- 3,500 KM OF PIPELINE COVERING AN AREA EQUAL TO WESTERN EUROPE;

-- FOUR PIPELINES - TWO EAST AND TWO WEST, CONNECTING WITH LINKS NORTH; AND

-- THOUSANDS OF MILES OF ROADS BETWEEN AND CONNECTING ITS VARIOUS LINES AND INFRASTRUCTURE, SUPPLYING 6.5 MILLION CUBIC METERS OF FRESH WATER DAILY TO LIBYANS AND OTHERS IN THE REGION. EXTRACTING WATER AT A DEPTH OF FROM 1,600 - 2,500 FEET, THE SYSTEM PURIFIES AND SUPPLIES IT MAINLY TO POPULATED COASTAL CITIES.

CONCEIVED IN THE LATE 1960S, FEASIBILITY STUDIES WERE CONDUCTED IN 1974. CONSTRUCTION THEN BEGAN IN 1984, DIVIDED IN FIVE PHASES, EACH LARGELY SEPARATE, THEN COMBINED INTO AN INTEGRATED SYSTEM. FUNDED BY GADDAFI WITHOUT LOANS FROM OTHER NATIONS OR WESTERN BANKS, THE PROJECT COST $25 BILLION SO FAR.

INAUGURATED IN AUGUST 1991, PHASE I PROVIDES TWO MILLION DAILY CUBIC METERS OF WATER ALONG A 1,200 KM PIPELINE FROM AS-SARIR AND TAZERBO TO BENGHAZI AND SIRT, VIA THE AJDABIYA RESERVOIR. PHASE II DELIVERS ONE MILLION DAILY CUBIC METERS FROM THE FEZZAN REGION TO THE FERTILE JEFFARA PLAIN IN THE WESTERN COASTAL BELT, ALSO SUPPLYING TRIPOLI.

PHASE III IS IN TWO PARTS. ITS FIRST ADDS AN ADDITIONAL 1.68 MILLION CUBIC METERS DAILY THROUGH ANOTHER 700 KM OF PIPELINE AND PUMPING STATIONS. IT ALSO SUPPLIES 138,000 MORE CUBIC METERS DAILY TO TOBRUK AND THE COAST FROM A NEW AL-JAGHBOUB WELLFIELD THROUGH ANOTHER 500 KM OF PIPELINE.

THE FINAL PHASES INVOLVE EXTENDING THE DISTRIBUTION NETWORK BY PIPELINES LINKING THE AJJABIYA RESERVOIR TO TOBRUK, THEN CONNECTING EASTERN AND WESTERN SYSTEMS AT SIRT INTO A SINGLE INTEGRATED NETWORK. WHEN FULLY OPERATIONAL, GADDAFI HOPES TO MAKE THE DESERT AS GREEN AS LIBYA'S FLAG.

THE PROJECT IS OWNED BY THE GREAT MAN-MADE RIVER (GMMR) AUTHORITY, FUNDED BY GADDAFI'S GOVERNMENT AS EXPLAINED ABOVE. HOWEVER, WITH WAR RAGING, THE SYSTEM IS JEOPARDIZED AS WELL AS GADDAFI'S DREAM TO TURN THE DESERT GREEN.

8. DOMINICAN REPUBLIC


WILSON ORDERED THE U.S. OCCUPATION OF THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. U.S. MARINES LANDED ON MAY 16, 1916. AND HAD CONTROL OF THE COUNTRY TWO MONTHS LATER. THE MILITARY GOVERNMENT ESTABLISHED BY THE U.S., LED BY REAR ADMIRAL HARRY SHEPARD KNAPP, WAS WIDELY REPUDIATED BY DOMINICANS. U.S. NAVAL OFFICERS HAD TO FILL SOME CABINET POSTS, AS DOMINICANS REFUSED TO SERVE IN THE ADMINISTRATION. CENSORSHIP AND LIMITS ON PUBLIC SPEECH WERE IMPOSED. THE GUERRILLA WAR AGAINST THE U.S. FORCES WAS MET WITH A VIGOROUS, OFTEN BRUTAL RESPONSE.[48] [WIKIPEDIA]

OPPOSITION TO THE OCCUPATION CONTINUED, HOWEVER, AND AFTER WORLD WAR I IT INCREASED IN THE U.S. AS WELL. THERE, PRESIDENT WARREN G. HARDING (1921–23), WILSON'S SUCCESSOR, WORKED TO END THE OCCUPATION, AS HE HAD PROMISED TO DO DURING HIS CAMPAIGN. U.S. GOVERNMENT ENDED IN OCTOBER 1922,

IN FEBRUARY 1963, A DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED GOVERNMENT UNDER LEFTIST JUAN BOSCH TOOK OFFICE BUT WAS OVERTHROWN IN SEPTEMBER. IN APRIL 1965, AFTER 19 MONTHS OF MILITARY RULE, A PRO-BOSCH REVOLT BROKE OUT. DAYS LATER, U.S. PRESIDENT LYNDON JOHNSON, CONCERNED THAT COMMUNISTS MIGHT TAKE OVER THE REVOLT AND CREATE A "SECOND CUBA", SENT THE MARINES, FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BY THE ARMY'S 82ND AIRBORNE DIVISION AND OTHER ELEMENTS OF THE XVIIITH AIRBORNE CORPS IN OPERATION POWERPACK. "WE DON'T PROPOSE TO SIT HERE IN A ROCKING CHAIR WITH OUR HANDS FOLDED AND LET THE COMMUNIST SET UP ANY GOVERNMENT IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE", JOHNSON SAID.[55] THE FORCES WERE SOON JOINED BY COMPARATIVELY SMALL CONTINGENTS FROM THE ORGANIZATION OF AMERICAN STATES. ALL THESE REMAINED IN THE COUNTRY FOR OVER A YEAR AND LEFT AFTER SUPERVISING ELECTIONS IN 1966 WON BY JOAQUÍN BALAGUER, WHO HAD BEEN TRUJILLO'S LAST PUPPET-PRESIDENT.

THAT BOMBARDMENT, INVASION AND MONTHS LONG US SNIPER SLAYINGS OF DOMINICAN PATRIOTS WAS TO PREVENT THEIR BELOVED ELECTED PRESIDENT, UNACCEPTABLE TO WALL STREET INTERESTS AND THEREFORE ALSO THE US STATE DEPARTMENT, FROM BEING ALLOWED TO GOVERN.

9. IRAN



KERMIT "KIM" ROOSEVELT, JR., GRANDSON OF US PRESIDENT THEODORE ROOSEVELT, WAS A POLITICAL ACTION OFFICER OF THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY'S (CIA) DIRECTORATE OF PLANS WHO COORDINATED THE OPERATION AJAX, WHICH SUCCESSFULLY ORCHESTRATED A COUP D’ÉTAT AGAINST IRAN'S PRIME MINISTER, MOHAMMED MOSADDEQ, AND RETURN MOHAMMAD REZA PAHLAVI, THE SHAH OF IRAN, TO IRAN'S PEACOCK THRONE IN AUGUST 1953. HE DECRIBED HIS SUCCESS WITH ZEAL HIS COUNTERCOUP - THE STRUGGLE FOR CONTROL OF IRAN, WHICH HE PUBLISHED IN 1979. [WIKIPEDIA]

THE 1953 IRANIAN COUP D'ÉTAT (KNOWN IN IRAN AS THE 28 MORDAD COUP[3]) WAS THE OVERTHROW OF THE DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED GOVERNMENT OF IRANIAN PRIME MINISTER MOHAMMAD MOSADDEGH ON 19 AUGUST 1953, ORCHESTRATED BY THE INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES OF THE UNITED KINGDOM AND THE UNITED STATES UNDER THE NAME TPAJAX PROJECT. THE COUP SAW THE TRANSITION OF MOHAMMAD-REZ? SH?H PAHLAVI FROM A CONSTITUTIONAL MONARCH TO AN AUTHORITARIAN ONE WHO RELIED HEAVILY ON UNITED STATES SUPPORT TO HOLD ON TO POWER UNTIL HIS OWN OVERTHROW IN FEBRUARY 1979

IN 1951, IRAN'S OIL INDUSTRY HAD BEEN NATIONALIZED WITH NEAR-UNANIMOUS SUPPORT OF IRAN'S PARLIAMENT. IRAN'S OIL HAD BEEN CONTROLLED BY THE BRITISH-OWNED ANGLO-IRANIAN OIL COMPANY (AIOC).POPULAR DISCONTENT WITH THE AIOC BEGAN IN THE LATE 1940S, A LARGE SEGMENT OF IRAN'S PUBLIC AND A NUMBER OF POLITICIANS SAW THE COMPANY AS EXPLOITATIVE AND A VESTIGE OF BRITISH IMPERIALISM DESPITE MOSADDEGH'S POPULAR SUPPORT, BRITAIN WAS UNWILLING TO NEGOTIATE ITS SINGLE MOST VALUABLE FOREIGN ASSET, AND INSTIGATED A WORLDWIDE BOYCOTT OF IRANIAN OIL TO PRESSURE IRAN ECONOMICALLY.[8] INITIALLY, BRITAIN MOBILIZED ITS MILITARY TO SEIZE CONTROL OF THE ABADAN OIL REFINERY, THE WORLD'S LARGEST, BUT PRIME MINISTER CLEMENT ATTLEE OPTED INSTEAD TO TIGHTEN THE ECONOMIC BOYCOTT[9] WHILE USING IRANIAN AGENTS TO UNDERMINE MOSADDEGH'S GOVERNMENT.[10] WITH A CHANGE TO MORE CONSERVATIVE GOVERNMENTS IN BOTH BRITAIN AND THE UNITED STATES, CHURCHILL AND THE U.S. EISENHOWER ADMINISTRATION DECIDED TO OVERTHROW IRAN'S GOVERNMENT
ACCORDING TO THE CIA'S DECLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS AND RECORDS, SOME OF THE MOST FEARED MOBSTERS IN TEHRAN WERE HIRED BY THE CIA TO STAGE PRO-SHAH RIOTS ON 19 AUGUST. OTHER CIA-PAID MEN WERE BROUGHT INTO TEHRAN IN BUSES AND TRUCKS, AND TOOK OVER THE STREETS OF THE CITY.[14] 800 PEOPLE WERE KILLED DURING AND AS A DIRECT RESULT OF THE CONFLICT.[2] MOSADDEGH WAS ARRESTED, TRIED AND CONVICTED OF TREASON BY THE SHAH'S MILITARY COURT. ON 21 DECEMBER 1953, HE WAS SENTENCED TO THREE YEARS IN JAIL, THEN PLACED UNDER HOUSE ARREST FOR THE REMAINDER OF HIS LIFE.MOSADDEGH'S SUPPORTERS WERE ROUNDED UP, IMPRISONED, TORTURED OR EXECUTED.
AFTER THE COUP, PAHLAVI RULED AS AN AUTHORITARIAN MONARCH FOR THE NEXT 26 YEARS, UNTIL HE WAS OVERTHROWN IN A POPULAR REVOLT IN 1979. THE TANGIBLE BENEFITS THE UNITED STATES REAPED FROM OVERTHROWING IRAN'S ELECTED GOVERNMENT INCLUDED A SHARE OF IRAN'S OIL WEALTH[19] AS WELL AS RESOLUTE PREVENTION OF THE SLIM POSSIBILITY THAT THE IRANIAN GOVERNMENT MIGHT ALIGN ITSELF WITH THE SOVIET UNION, ALTHOUGH THE LATTER MOTIVATION PRODUCES CONTROVERSY AMONG HISTORIANS. WASHINGTON CONTINUALLY SUPPLIED ARMS TO THE UNPOPULAR SHAH, AND THE CIA-TRAINED SAVAK, HIS REPRESSIVE SECRET POLICE FORCE. THE COUP IS WIDELY BELIEVED TO HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY CONTRIBUTED TO ANTI-AMERICAN SENTIMENT IN IRAN AND THE MIDDLE EAST. THE 1979 IRANIAN REVOLUTION DEPOSED THE SHAH AND REPLACED THE PRO-WESTERN ROYAL DICTATORSHIP WITH THE LARGELY ANTI-WESTERN ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN.

[U.S. FOREIGN POLICY IN PERSPECTIVE: CLIENTS, ENEMIES AND EMPIRE. DAVID SYLVAN, STEPHEN MAJESKI] ON 4 NOVEMBER 1979, A GROUP OF IRANIAN STUDENTS SEIZED US EMBASSY PERSONNEL, LABELING THE EMBASSY A "DEN OF SPIES". THEY ACCUSED ITS PERSONNEL OF BEING CIA AGENTS PLOTTING TO OVERTHROW THE REVOLUTIONARY GOVERNMENT, AS THE CIA HAD DONE TO MOSADDEGH IN 1953. WHILE THE STUDENT RINGLEADERS HAD NOT ASKED FOR PERMISSION FROM KHOMEINI TO SEIZE THE EMBASSY, KHOMEINI NONETHELESS SUPPORTED THE EMBASSY TAKEOVER AFTER HEARING OF ITS SUCCESS. WHILE MOST OF THE FEMALE AND AFRICAN AMERICAN HOSTAGES WERE RELEASED WITHIN THE FIRST MONTHS, THE REMAINING 52 HOSTAGES WERE HELD FOR 444 DAYS. JIMMY CARTER ORDERED MILITARY ATTEMPTED A RESCUE OPERATION, OPERATION EAGLE CLAW, ON APRIL 24, 1980, WHICH RESULTED IN THE DEATH OF ONE IRANIAN CIVILIAN IN A FAILED MISSION, AN THE DEATHS OF EIGHT AMERICAN INVADERS,, AND THE DESTRUCTION OF TWO AIRCRAFT. IT ENDED WITH THE SIGNING OF THE ALGIERS ACCORDS IN ALGERIA ON JANUARY 19, 1981.

PRESIDENT REAGAN BACKED AND FINANCIALLY AIDED HIS FRIEND SADDAM HUSSEIN'S EIGHT YEAR LONG INVASION OF IRAN AND HAD US SPY SATELLITES REPORT THE POSITION OF DEFENDING IRANIAN TROOPS.
UNITED STATES SUPPORT FOR IRAQ DURING THE IRAN–IRAQ WAR, AS A COUNTERBALANCE TO POST-REVOLUTIONARY IRAN, INCLUDED SEVERAL BILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF ECONOMIC AID, THE SALE OF DUAL-USE TECHNOLOGY, NON-U.S. ORIGIN WEAPONRY, CHEMICALS NECESSARY FOR GAS MANUFACTURE, MILITARY INTELLIGENCE, SPECIAL OPERATIONS TRAINING, AND DIRECT INVOLVEMENT IN WARFARE AGAINST IRAN. [FRIEDMAN, ALAN. SPIDER'S WEB: THE SECRET HISTORY OF HOW THE WHITE HOUSE ILLEGALLY ARMED IRAQ, BANTAM BOOKS, 1993]

SUPPORT FROM THE U.S. FOR IRAQ WAS NOT A SECRET AND WAS FREQUENTLY DISCUSSED IN OPEN SESSION OF THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. ON JUNE 9, 1992, TED KOPPEL REPORTED ON ABC'S NIGHTLINE, "IT IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY CLEAR THAT GEORGE BUSH, OPERATING LARGELY BEHIND THE SCENES THROUGHOUT THE 1980S, INITIATED AND SUPPORTED MUCH OF THE FINANCING, INTELLIGENCE, AND MILITARY HELP THAT BUILT SADDAM'S IRAQ INTO" THE POWER IT BECAME", AND "REAGAN/BUSH ADMINISTRATIONS PERMITTED—AND FREQUENTLY ENCOURAGED—THE FLOW OF MONEY, AGRICULTURAL CREDITS, DUAL-USE TECHNOLOGY, CHEMICALS, AND WEAPONS TO IRAQ." [FRIEDMAN, ALAN. SPIDER'S WEB: THE SECRET HISTORY OF HOW THE WHITE HOUSE ILLEGALLY ARMED IRAQ, BANTAM BOOKS, 1993] IRAN AIR CIVILIAN JET AIRLINER FLIGHT 655 WAS SHOT DOWN BY U.S. MISSILES ON JULY 3, 1988, OVER THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ, TOWARD THE END OF THE IRAN–IRAQ WAR. THE AIRCRAFT, AN AIRBUS A300 WAS FLYING FROM BANDAR ABBAS, IRAN, TO DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, OVER IRAN'S TERRITORIAL WATERS IN THE PERSIAN GULF ON ITS USUAL FLIGHT PATH WHEN IT WAS DESTROYED BY THE UNITED STATES NAVY GUIDED MISSILE CRUISER USS VINCENNES (CG-49), KILLING ALL 290 PASSENGERS AND CREW ABOARD. AT THE INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE. AS PART OF THE SETTLEMENT, THE US AGREED TO PAY US$61.8 MILLION, AN AVERAGE OF $213,103.45 PER PASSENGER, IN COMPENSATION TO THE FAMILIES OF THE IRANIAN VICTIMS. HOWEVER, THE UNITED STATES HAS NEVER ADMITTED RESPONSIBILITY, NOR APOLOGIZED TO IRAN. AT THE UN THE SOVIET UNION ASKED THE U.S. TO WITHDRAW FROM THE AREA. THE TOTAL IRANIAN CASUALTIES OF THE WAR WERE ESTIMATED TO BE ANYWHERE BETWEEN 500,000 AND 1,000,000; WITH MORE THAN 100,000 IRANIANS BEING VICTIMS OF IRAQ'S CHEMICAL

ON MAY 6, 1995, CLINTON SIGNED EXECUTIVE ORDER 12957 WHICH IMPLEMENTED TIGHT OIL AND TRADE SANCTIONS ON IRAN AND MADE IT ILLEGAL FOR AMERICAN CORPORATIONS OR THEIR FOREIGN SUBSIDIARIES TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CONTRACT "FOR THE FINANCING OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF PETROLEUM RESOURCES LOCATED IN IRAN." ON MAY 6, 1995, PRESIDENT CLINTON ISSUED EXECUTIVE ORDER 12959 WHICH BANNED ALMOST ALL TRADE BETWEEN U.S. BUSINESSES AND THE IRANIAN GOVERNMENT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF INFORMATIONAL MATERIALS. BEGINNING IN 1997, THE ADMINISTRATION BEGAN TO TAKE A SOFTER APPROACH TOWARDS IRAN, PARTICULARLY AFTER THE ELECTION OF REFORMIST MOHAMMAD KHATAMI AS THE PRESIDENT OF IRAN. THAT YEAR, SECRETARY OF STATE MADELEINE ALBRIGHT AND PRESIDENT CLINTON MANDATED WHAT COULD BE CONSIDERED AN APOLOGY TO THE IRANIAN PEOPLE FOR THE 1953 CIA-ASSISTED COUP THAT OVERTHREW THE DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED PRIME MINISTER, MOHAMMED MOSSADEGH, AND REPLACED HIM WITH THE SHAH. LATER. ALBRIGHT AND CLINTON ALSO ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE U.S.-BACKED GOVERNMENT OF THE SHAH "OPPRESSED POLITICAL OPPONENTS."

IN JANUARY OF 2002, PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH CALLED IRAN PART OF AN "AXIS OF EVIL" DURING HIS FIRST STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS.
HE SAID, "IRAN AGGRESSIVELY PURSUES THESE WEAPONS AND EXPORTS TERROR, WHILE AN UNELECTED FEW REPRESS THE IRANIAN PEOPLE'S HOPE FOR FREEDOM. STATES LIKE THESE, AND THEIR TERRORIST ALLIES, CONSTITUTE AN AXIS OF EVIL, ARMING TO THREATEN THE PEACE OF THE WORLD. BY SEEKING WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION, THESE REGIMES POSE A GRAVE AND GROWING DANGER."

REPORT: OBAMA SECRETLY ORDERED CYBER ATTACKS ON IRAN'S NUCLEAR PROGRAM

BY HAARETZ, ISRAEL, JUNE 01, 2012

SHORTLY AFTER TAKING OFFICE IN 2009, U.S. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA SECRETLY ORDERED SOPHISTICATED ATTACKS ON THE COMPUTER SYSTEMS THAT CONTROL IRAN'S NUCLEAR ENRICHMENT FACILITIES, THE NEW YORK TIMES REPORTED.

ACCORDING TO THE REPORT, OBAMA DECIDED TO EXPAND ATTACKS THAT HAD BEGUN DURING THE GEORGE W. BUSH ADMINISTRATION.

THE REPORT SAID THAT THE STUXNET WORM, THE EXISTENCE OF WHICH BECAME PUBLIC IN 2010, WAS DEVELOPED BY THE UNITED STATES AND ISRAEL AS PART OF A JOINT EFFORT TO SABOTAGE THE IRANIAN NUCLEAR PROGRAM.

OBAMA REPORTEDLY DECIDED THAT CYBER ATTACKS SHOULD CONTINUE, EVEN AFTER STUXNET WAS PUBLICIZED. ...

THE REPORT COMES ALMOST A WEEK AFTER THE INTERNET SECURITY COMPANY KASPERSKY LAB ANNOUNCED THAT IT HAD UNCOVERED A 'CYBER-ESPIONAGE WORM' DESIGNED TO COLLECT AND DELETE SENSITIVE INFORMATION, PRIMARILY IN MIDDLE EASTERN COUNTRIES.

KASPERSKY CALLED THE MALWARE, NAMED "FLAME," THE "MOST SOPHISTICATED CYBER-WEAPON YET UNLEASHED." IT SAID THE BUG HAD INFECTED COMPUTERS IN IRAN, THE WEST BANK, SUDAN, SYRIA, LEBANON, SAUDI ARABIA AND EGYPT.

10. SYRIA


SYRIA: CIA, M16, FRENCH, MOSSAD, SAUDI INVOLVEMENT UNREPORTED IN CORPORATIST MEDIA. 6/27,2012, BY JAY JANSON
WHAT IS UNFOLDING IN SYRIA IS AN ARMED INSURRECTION SUPPORTED INSTIGATED COVERTLY BY FOREIGN POWERS FRANCE, BRITAIN, ISRAEL, TURKEY, AND SAUDI ARABIA LED BY THE US CIA. ARMED INSURGENTS BELONGING TO ISLAMIST ORGANIZATIONS HAVE CROSSED THE BORDER FROM TURKEY, LEBANON AND JORDAN. THE US STATE DEPARTMENT HAS CONFIRMED THAT IT IS SUPPORTING THE INSURGENCY. A MONOLITHIC UNIFIED-SLANT MEDIA CARTEL RESTRICTS REPORTS TO INDISCRIMINATE KILLING OF CIVILIAN PROTESTERS BY SYRIAN GOVERNMENT AS IF NOTHING ELSE IS HAPPENING.

WHEN THE WEST’S WAR ON GADDAFI IS GOING WELL, AMERICAN NEWS COMMENTATORS CAN IN RARE MOMENTS PROUDLY ADMIT THAT THE CIA IS HEAVILY INVOLVED. NO SO, WHEN IF COMES TO SYRIA. IT'S TOO EARLY. THE PUBLIC HAS NOT BEEN YET BEEN PROPERLY TAUGHT TO HATE SYRIA'S PRESIDENT ASSAD SUFFICIENTLY.

THE CORPORATIST MEDIA CARTEL THAT CONTROLS WHAT NEWS IS SELECTED AND HOW AND WITH WHAT INTENTION IT SHALL BE BROADCASTED HAS DONE ITS BEST TO DEMONIZE ASSAD. NEWS NETWORKS AND NEWSPAPERS REPEAT DAY IN DAY OUT THAT SYRIAN GOVERNMENT FORCES ARE SHOOTING AND MASSACRING PROTESTERS, PERIOD. THEY DON’T REPORT ANYTHING ELSE, MAKING IT APPEAR NOTHING ELSE IS HAPPENING. WHEN IT IS NECESSARY TO ADMIT THAT POLICE AND SOLDIERS ARE BEING AMBUSHED AND KILLED, A COVER STORY COMES WITH IT, LIKE, ‘IT IS SUSPECTED THAT THEY WERE KILLED BY DEFECTING POLICE AND MILITARY.’

THE WESTERN CONTROLLED MEDIA RESORTS, AS IN LIBYA REPORTING TO FLIMFLAM. THE SAME VIDEOS AND PHOTOS OF ARMED GROUPS PERCHED ON THE ROOFTOPS AND FIRING AT RANDOM INTO THE CROWD OR ON POLICE FORCES BROADCAST ON SYRIA'S NATIONAL TELEVISION NETWORKS ARE USED BY WESTERN AND SAUDI TELEVISION CHANNELS TO ATTRIBUTE THESE CRIMES TO THE GOVERNMENT OF DAMASCUS.

THIS AMAZING GREAT CARTEL OF PENTAGON/CIA FED MEDIA CONGLOMERATES, WHICH SEEMS TO HAVE THE GREAT MAJORITY OF THE BASICALLY INDIFFERENT POPULATION OF THE WEST IN TOW, IS EFFORTLESSLY RUNNING ITS USUAL CASCADE OF DISINFORMATION, HALF-TRUTHS AND PROPAGANDA PREPARING JUSTIFICATION FOR MILITARY INTERVENTION AS PREVIOUSLY IN THE CASES OF LIBYA, IRAQ, AFGHANISTAN, SOMALIA, YEMEN, PAKISTAN AND IRAN.

HOWEVER, "THE PLAN TO DESTABILIZE SYRIA IS NOT WORKING ALL THAT WELL. IT SUCCEEDED IN PERSUADING PUBLIC OPINION THAT THE COUNTRY IS IN THE GRIPS OF A BRUTAL DICTATORSHIP, BUT IT ALSO WELDED THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE SYRIAN POPULATION FIRMLY BEHIND ITS GOVERNMENT. ULTIMATELY, THE PLAN COULD BACKFIRE ON THOSE WHO MASTERMINDED IT, NOTABLY TEL AVIV" SURMISES THIERRY MEYSSAN IN THE PLAN TO DESTABILIZE SYRIA,VOLTAIRE NETWORK, LEBANON, 6/13/11.

A FEW SCHOLARLY SITES ON THE INTERNET ALWAYS MANAGE TO FILL IN WHAT IS INTENTIONALLY BLACKED OUT IN PENTAGON COUNSELED AND FED COMMERCIAL MASS MEDIA OF THE WESTERN PSEUDO-DEMOCRACIES. MICHAEL CHOSSUDOVSKY, CONSULTANT WITH A HALF-DOZEN UN AGENCIES AND PUBLISHER OF GLOBAL RESEARCH OUT OF CANADA TELLS US:

“WHAT IS UNFOLDING IN SYRIA IS AN ARMED INSURRECTION SUPPORTED COVERTLY BY FOREIGN POWERS INCLUDING THE US, TURKEY AND ISRAEL. ARMED INSURGENTS BELONGING TO ISLAMIST ORGANIZATIONS HAVE CROSSED THE BORDER FROM TURKEY, LEBANON AND JORDAN. THE US STATE DEPARTMENT HAS CONFIRMED THAT IT IS SUPPORTING THE INSURGENCY. U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL VICTORIA NULAND, 'WE STARTED TO EXPAND CONTACTS WITH THE SYRIANS, THOSE WHO ARE CALLING FOR CHANGE, BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY.'" 

ACTION AGAINST SYRIA IS PART OF A "MILITARY ROADMAP", A SEQUENCING OF MILITARY OPERATIONS. ACCORDING TO FORMER NATO COMMANDER GENERAL WESLEY CLARK--THE PENTAGON HAD CLEARLY IDENTIFIED IRAQ, LIBYA, SYRIA AND LEBANON AS TARGET COUNTRIES OF A US-NATO INTERVENTION:
"[THE] FIVE-YEAR CAMPAIGN PLAN [INCLUDED]... A TOTAL OF SEVEN COUNTRIES, BEGINNING WITH IRAQ, THEN SYRIA, LEBANON, LIBYA, IRAN, SOMALIA AND SUDAN" (PENTAGON OFFICIAL QUOTED BY GENERAL WESLEY CLARK) IN WINNING MODERN WARS(PAGE 130) GENERAL WESLEY CLARK. 

THE OBJECTIVE IS TO DESTABILIZE THE SYRIAN STATE AND IMPLEMENT REGIME CHANGE THROUGH THE COVERT SUPPORT OF AN ARMED INSURGENCY, INTEGRATED BY ISLAMIST MILITIA. THE REPORTS ON CIVILIAN DEATHS ARE USED TO PROVIDE A PRETEXT AND A JUSTIFICATION FOR HUMANITARIAN INTERVENTION UNDER THE PRINCIPLE "RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT".’ 

MEDIA DISINFORMATION

WHAT IS MENTIONED PROFUSELY IS THAT THE ARMED FORCES AND THE POLICE ARE INVOLVED IN THE INDISCRIMINATE KILLING OF CIVILIAN PROTESTERS. PRESS REPORTS CONFIRM, HOWEVER, FROM THE OUTSET OF THE PROTEST MOVEMENT AN EXCHANGE OF GUNFIRE BETWEEN ARMED INSURGENTS AND THE POLICE, WITH CASUALTIES REPORTED ON BOTH SIDES.

THE INSURRECTION STARTED IN MID MARCH IN THE BORDER CITY OF DARAA, WHICH IS 10 KM FROM THE JORDANIAN BORDER. THE DARAA "PROTEST MOVEMENT" ON MARCH 18 HAD ALL THE APPEARANCES OF A STAGED EVENT INVOLVING, IN ALL LIKELIHOOD, COVERT SUPPORT TO ISLAMIC TERRORISTS BY MOSSAD AND/OR WESTERN INTELLIGENCE. GOVERNMENT SOURCES POINT TO THE ROLE OF RADICAL SALAFIST GROUPS (SUPPORTED BY ISRAEL)
OTHER REPORTS HAVE POINTED TO THE ROLE OF SAUDI ARABIA IN FINANCING THE PROTEST MOVEMENT.

WHAT HAS UNFOLDED IN DARAA IN THE WEEKS FOLLOWING THE INITIAL VIOLENT CLASHES ON 17-18 MARCH, IS THE CONFRONTATION BETWEEN THE POLICE AND THE ARMED FORCES ON THE ONE HAND AND ARMED UNITS OF TERRORISTS AND SNIPERS ON THE OTHER WHICH HAVE INFILTRATED THE PROTEST MOVEMENT” THE DESTABILIZATION OF SYRIA AND THE BROADER MIDDLE EAST WAR, BY MICHAEL CHOSSUDOVSKY

ONE WOULD BE NAIVE TO BELIEVE THAT THE CENTURY OF BRUTAL OCCUPATION OF THE ARAB LANDS OF SYRIA, LEBANON, ALGERIA, TUNISIA AND MOROCCO BY FRANCE AND THOSE OF IRAQ, JORDAN, PALESTINE, EGYPT, SUDAN, SOMALILAND, ADEN, AND YEMEN BY THE BRITISH, WITH BOTH OCCUPYING LIBYA AFTER W.W.II, THAT BRITISH M16 AND AND THE FRENCH SECRET SERVICE WOULD NOT BE INDISPENSABLE FOR THE JOHNNY-COME-LATELY AMERICA EMPIRE AND ITS CIA. BUT ONE WOULD HAVE TO BE EVEN MORE NAIVE TO BELIEVE THE EXCELLENT SECRET SERVICE OF ISRAEL, MOSSAD, AT WAR WITH THE ARAB WORLD SINCE 1948 WAS NOT PLAYING A KEY ROLE IN SYRIA AND LIBYA, TWO ADAMANT ADVERSARIES OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL. HERE BELOW IS SOME BACKGROUND.

EXPERTS FEAR ISRAELI DESIGN TO BALKANIZE ARAB STATES BY ADAM MORROW AND KHALED MOUSSA AL-OMRANI, 6/19/11
HTTP://WWW.VOLTAIRENET.ORG/THE-PLAN-TO-DESTABILIZE-SYRIA

IN A STRATEGY FOR ISRAEL IN THE 1980S, IN 1982, WRITTEN BY ODED YINON, THEN A SENIOR ADVISOR FOR ISRAEL'S FOREIGN MINISTRY, THE ESSAY EXPLICITLY CALLS FOR BREAKING UP THE ARAB STATES OF THE REGION ALONG ETHNIC AND SECTARIAN LINES. THE DISSOLUTION OF SYRIA AND IRAQ LATER ON INTO ETHNICALLY OR RELIGIOUSLY UNIQUE AREAS… IS ISRAEL'S PRIMARY TARGET ON THE EASTERN FRONT IN THE LONG RUN."

"IN IRAQ, A DIVISION INTO PROVINCES ALONG ETHNIC/RELIGIOUS LINES… IS POSSIBLE," HE WRITES. "SO, THREE STATES WILL EXIST AROUND THE THREE MAJOR CITIES: BASRA, BAGHDAD AND MOSUL, AND SHIITE AREAS IN THE SOUTH WILL SEPARATE FROM THE SUNNI AND KURDISH NORTH."

AS FOR EGYPT, YINON CALLS FOR BREAKING THE COUNTRY UP INTO "DISTINCT GEOGRAPHICAL REGIONS." THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN INDEPENDENT COPTIC-CHRISTIAN STATE IN UPPER EGYPT, HE WRITES, "ALONGSIDE A NUMBER OF WEAK STATES WITH VERY LOCALIZED POWER AND WITHOUT A CENTRALIZED GOVERNMENT…SEEMS INEVITABLE IN THE LONG RUN."

POLITICAL MANEUVERING IN RECENT YEARS BY ISRAEL AND THE WESTERN POWERS - BOTH OVERT AND COVERT - APPEARS TO CONFORM TO THIS STRATEGY OF BALKANIZATION.

"ISRAEL AND THE U.S. HAVE BOTH HELPED BREAK UP IRAQ BY ENCOURAGING THE EMERGENCE OF AN INDEPENDENT KURDISH STATE AND FOSTERING SUNNI-SHIITE DIVISION," HE SAID. "AND IN SUDAN, EARLIER THIS MONTH, MOHAMED ABBAS, A LEADING MEMBER OF EGYPT'S REVOLUTIONARY COALITION COUNCIL (RCC), LIKEWISE WARNED OF AN ONGOING "CONSPIRACY" AIMED AT BREAKING EGYPT INTO THREE PETTY STATES.

"THE ZIONIST PLAN TO POLITICALLY FRAGMENT THE ARAB MIDDLE EAST SO AS TO KEEP ARAB STATES IN A PERPETUAL STATE OF INSTABILITY AND WEAKNESS HAS BEEN WELL KNOWN FOR THE LAST THREE DECADES," GAMAL MAZLOUM, RETIRED EGYPTIAN MAJOR-GENERAL AND EXPERT ON DEFENSE ISSUES TOLD IPS.

"THE WESTERN CAMPAIGN AGAINST LIBYA ... WAS LAUNCHED WITH THE AIM OF BREAKING LIBYA; LIBYA COULD BE SPLIT IN TWO, WITH GADDAFI STAYING ON IN THE WEST OF THE COUNTRY AND AN EXILED CONTROLLED 'REVOLUTIONARY' GOVERNMENT LOYAL TO THE WESTERN POWERS IN CONTROL OF THE EAST, MOHAMED AL-SAKHAWI, LEADING MEMBER OF EGYPT'S AS-YET-UNLICENSED ARABIC UNITY PARTY, TOLD IPS."

THE SATELLITE-GENERATED MEDIA CONGLOMERATE CARTEL’S UNIFIED SINGLE-ANGLE-PRESENTATION OF WORLD EVENTS IS REALLY DIFFICULT FOR PROGRESSIVE ALTERNATE MEDIA TO DARE CHALLENGE AS SLANTED. ITS DECEPTIONS BECOME TRUTHS FOR THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY. WHEN IT IS FIRMLY ESTABLISHED IN THE MINDS OF MOST THAT SYRIAN AND LIBYAN LEADERS ARE VILLAINS WHAT TO DO? MOST PROGRESSIVE MAGAZINES AND INTERNET SITES AND NEWSLETTERS DEPEND ON KEEPING THEIR LESS POLITICALLY EDUCATED LIBERAL SUBSCRIBERS.

MOST OF US NEVER HEAR OF THE MASS HOMICIDAL CRIMES OF THE CIA IN COUNTRIES LIKE SYRIA UNTIL FILES ARE FORCED OPEN BY FREEDOM OF INFORMATION LAW DECISIONS DECADES TOO LATE? SOCIALIST ANTI-WAR AND ANTI-CAPITALISM JOURNALISM IN THE U.S. IS NOW NEGLIGIBLE.

11. SOMALIA
AFTER INVASION BY ITALY DURING WW II AND SUBSEQUENT BRITISH REOCCUPATION SOMALIA HAD BEEN PERMITTED INDEPENDENCE IN 1960.
THE SAME AS EVERY OTHER NATION, FORMERLY MILITARY OCCUPIED BY COLONIAL EMPIRES SEEKING BEYOND FORMAL INDEPENDENCE ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL FREEDOM, SOMALIA BECAME A PAWN IN THE COLD WAR FOR TRADING PRIVILEGES AND MILITARY ALLIANCES BETWEEN THE SOVIET UNION, BACKING INDIGENOUS NATIONALISM AND SOCIALISM, AND THE US AND EUROPEAN POWERS BACKING THE INTERESTS OF FOREIGN INVESTORS AND INDIGENOUS COLLABORATION.

BY THE EARLY 2000S, MOGADISHU'S CLAN ELDERS SET UP A LOOSE NETWORK OF NEIGHBORHOOD-BASED COURTS TO DELIVER A MODICUM OF ORDER IN A CITY DESPERATE FOR IT.


THEY ROUNDED UP THIEVES AND KILLERS, PUT THEM IN IRON CAGES, AND HELD TRIALS. ISLAMIC LAW, OR SHARIA, WAS THE ONE SET OF PRINCIPLES THAT DIFFERENT CLANS COULD AGREE ON; THE SOMALI ELDERS CALLED THEIR NETWORK THE ISLAMIC COURTS UNION.

12. YEMEN




MORE THAN A CENTURY OF BRITISH CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY IN YEMEN PRECEDED THOSE OF THE US. BRITISH WITHDREW THEIR TROOPS, UNDER FIRE FROM YEMEN INDEPENDENCE FIGHTERS, IN 1967. OF COURSE DURING THE CENTRURIES OF SAVAGE WHITE RACIST COLONIAL IMPERIALISM AND MILITRARY OCCUPATION OF THE MORE SOPHISTICAED ANCIENT CULTURES OF THE NON-WHITE 84% OF MANKIND, THERE WAS EVEN LESS TALK OF IMPERIALIST CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY THAT NOW.




A RADICAL (MARXIST) WING OF THE NATIONAL LIBERATION FRONT GAINED POWER IN SOUTH YEMEN IN JUNE, 1969.




THE NLF CHANGED THE NAME OF SOUTH YEMEN ON 1 DECEMBER 1970 TO THE PEOPLE'S DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF YEMEN WITH ALL POLITICAL PARTIES AMALGAMATED INTO THE YEMENI SOCIALIST PART, WHICH BECAME THE ONLY LEGAL PARTY. THE PDRY ESTABLISHED CLOSE TIES WITH THE SOVIET UNION, PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA, CUBA, AND RADICAL PALESTINIANS.






DURING A 1979 BORDER CONFLICT BETWEEN THE YEMEN ARAB REPUBLIC AND THE PEOPLE'S DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF YEMEN, THE UNITED STATES COOPERATED WITH SAUDI ARABIA TO GREATLY EXPAND THE SECURITY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM TO THE YAR BY PROVIDING F-5AIRCRAFT, TANKS, VEHICLES AND TRAINING. GEORGE H.W. BUSH, WHILE VICE PRESIDENT, VISITED IN APRIL 1986, AND PRESIDENT ALI ABDULLAH SALEH VISITED THE UNITED STATES IN JANUARY 1990. [CIA WITH BRITISH M-16 WORKED COVERTLY TO FOSTER A WIN FOR SALEH.]







A SHIA TRIBAL INSURGENCY IN YEMEN, ALSO KNOWN AS THE HOUTHI REBELLION, SA'DAH WAR FOUGHT MOSTLY BY SHABAB AL MUOMINEEN (BELIEVING YOUTH)IS A CIVIL WAR IN NORTHERN YEMEN. IT BEGAN IN JUNE 2004 WHEN DISSIDENT CLERIC HUSSEIN BADREDDIN AL-HOUTHI, HEAD OF THE SHIA ZAIDIYYAH SECT, LAUNCHED AN UPRISING AGAINST THE US BACKED YEMENI GOVERNMENT. MOST OF THE FIGHTING HAS TAKEN PLACE IN SA'DAH GOVERNORATE IN NORTHWESTERN YEMEN ALTHOUGH SOME OF THE FIGHTING SPREAD TO NEIGHBOURING GOVERNORATES AND THE SAUDI PROVINCE OF JIZAN.

THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT HAS MADE A SERIES OF ATTACKS ON TARGETS IN NORTHWESTPAKISTAN SINCE 2004 USING DRONES (UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES) CONTROLLED BY THECENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY'SSPECIAL ACTIVITIES DIVISION.[3] THE STRIKES WERE INCREASED FIVE FOLD UNDER OBAMA.





PRESSTV, JUN 23, 2009

AT LEAST 50 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED AND SCORES OTHERS INJURED AFTER US DRONES FIRED SEVERAL MISSILES ON WHAT WASHINGTON CALLS INSURGENTS' TARGETS IN THE TROUBLED NORTH-WEST PAKISTAN.




THE CAUSALITIES OCCURRED WHEN THREE DRONES FIRED COUNTLESS MISSILES ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON AT THE FUNERAL PROCESSION IN THE SOUTH WAZIRISTAN BORDERING AFGHANISTAN.

THE MISSILES HIT THE FUNERAL OF PEOPLE WHO WERE KILLED EARLIER IN THE DAY DURING A SIMILAR STRIKE IN THE VOLATILE REGION.

14. LEBANON











LEBANON WAS TWICE INVADED AND OCCUPIED BY THE ISRAEL DEFENSE FORCES (IDF) IN 1978 AND 1982,[49] WITH THE PLO EXPELLED IN THE SECOND INVASION. ISRAEL REMAINED IN CONTROL OF SOUTHERN LEBANON UNTIL 2000




ON SEPT. 13, PRESIDENT REAGAN AUTHORIZED WHAT WAS CALLED AGGRESSIVE SELF-DEFENSE FOR THE MARINES, INCLUDING AIR AND NAVAL STRIKES.27 FIVE DAYS LATER THE UNITED STATES ESSENTIALLY JOINED THE WAR AGAINST THE MUSLIMS WHEN FOUR U.S. WARSHIPS UNLEASHED THE HEAVIEST NAVAL BOMBARDMENT SINCE VIETNAM INTO SYRIAN AND DRUZE POSITIONS IN EASTERN LEBANON IN SUPPORT OF THE LEBANESE CHRISTIANS.28 [WHITE HOUSE SPOKESMAN LARRY SPEAKES SAID THE LOCAL MARINE COMMANDER IN LEBANON CAN ORDER AIR STRIKES OF FIREPOWER “OF ANY KIND” FROM U.S. NAVAL VESSELS OFF BEIRUT., DAILY RECORD, WASHINGTON, 9/13/1983 THE BOMBARDMENT LASTED FOR THREE DAYS AND WAS PERSONALLY ORDERED BY NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL DIRECTOR ROBERT MCFARLANE, A MARINE CORPS OFFICER DETAILED TO THE WHITE HOUSE WHO WAS IN LEBANON AT THE TIME AND WAS ALSO A STRONG SUPPORTER OF ISRAEL AND ITS LEBANESE MARONITE CHRISTIAN ALLIES. MCFARLANE ISSUED THE ORDER DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE MARINE COMMANDER AT THE AIRPORT, COLONEL TIMOTHY GERAGHTY, STRENUOUSLY ARGUED AGAINST IT BECAUSE, IN THE WORDS OF CORRESPONDENT THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN, “HE KNEW THAT IT WOULD MAKE HIS SOLDIERS PARTY TO WHAT WAS NOW CLEARLY AN INTRA-LEBANESE FIGHT, AND THAT THE LEBANESE MUSLIMS WOULD NOT RETALIATE AGAINST THE NAVY’S SHIPS AT SEA BUT AGAINST THE MARINES ON SHORE.”29

BY THEN, THE MARINES WERE UNDER DAILY ATTACK AND MUSLIMS WERE CHARGING THEY WERE NO LONGER NEUTRAL.30 AT THE SAME TIME THE BATTLESHIP USS NEW JERSEY, WITH 16-INCH GUNS, ARRIVED OFF LEBANON, INCREASING THE NUMBER OF U.S. WARSHIPS OFFSHORE TO 14. SIMILARLY, THE MARINE CONTINGENT AT BEIRUT AIRPORT WAS INCREASED FROM 1,200 TO 1,600.31




THE FIGHT NOW WAS TRULY JOINED BETWEEN THE SHI’I MUSLIMS AND THE MARINES, WHO WERE ESSENTIALLY PINNED DOWN IN THEIR AIRPORT BUNKERS AND UNDER ORDERS NOT TO TAKE OFFENSIVE ACTIONS. ON OCT. 23, A MUSLIM GUERRILLA DROVE A TRUCK PAST GUARDS AT THE MARINE AIRPORT COMPOUND AND DETONATED AN EXPLOSIVE WITH THE FORCE OF 12,000 POUNDS OF DYNAMITE UNDER A BUILDING HOUSING MARINES AND OTHER U.S. PERSONNEL. ALMOST SIMULTANEOUSLY, A CAR-BOMB EXPLODED AT THE FRENCH COMPOUND IN BEIRUT. 241 AMERICANS AND 58 FRENCH TROOPS WERE KILLED. ON DEC. 3, TWO CARRIER PLANES WERE DOWNED BY SYRIAN MISSILES DURING HEAVY U.S. AIR RAIDS ON EASTERN LEBANON.;33 ON THE SAME DAY, EIGHT MARINES WERE KILLED IN FIGHTING WITH MUSLIM MILITIAMEN AROUND THE BEIRUT AIRPORT.;34

BY THE START OF 1984, AN ALL-OUT SHI’I MUSLIM CAMPAIGN TO RID LEBANON OF ALL AMERICANS WAS UNDERWAY. THE HIGHLY RESPECTED PRESIDENT OF THE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY OF BEIRUT, DR. MALCOLM KERR, A DISTINGUISHED SCHOLAR OF THE ARAB WORLD, WAS GUNNED DOWN ON JAN. 18 OUTSIDE HIS OFFICE BY ISLAMIC MILITANTS

ALIGNED WITH IRAN. THE NEXT DAY PROFESSOR FRANK REGIER, A U.S. CITIZEN TEACHING AT AUB, WAS KIDNAPPED BY MUSLIM RADICALS, BEGINNING OF A SERIES OF KIDNAPPINGS OF AMERICANS IN BEIRUT. THAT WOULD LEAD TO THE EVENTUAL EXPULSION OF NEARLY ALL AMERICANS FROM LEBANON WHERE THEY HAD PROSPERED FOR MORE THAN A CENTURY. EVEN TODAY AMERICANS STILL ARE PROHIBITED FROM TRAVELING TO LEBANON.

THE DAY AFTER REGIER’S KIDNAPPING, ON FEB. 7, 1984, REAGAN SUDDENLY REVERSED HIMSELF AND ANNOUNCED THAT ALL U.S. MARINES WOULD SHORTLY BE “REDEPLOYED.” THE NEXT DAY THE BATTLESHIP USS NEW JERSEY FIRED 290 ROUNDS OF ONE-TON SHELLS FROM ITS 16-INCH GUNS INTO LEBANON AS A FINAL ACT OF U.S. FRUSTRATION.




[IN HIS 800 PAGE VOLUME “PITY THE NATION” EMINENT MIDDLE EASTERN CORRESPONDENT ROBERT FISH, AT HOME IN LEBANON, WROTE, “THEY BROUGHT THE OLD BATTLESHIP NEW JERSEY TOWARDS THE SHORE FOR ONE LONG BROADSIDE, TO THE ASTONISHMENT OF THE LEBANESE AND ALL THE REST OF US. WHAT WAS THE SHIP FIRING AT? IT HAD NO EFFECT ON THE SHIA MUSLIM MILITIAMEN WHO CALMLY DROVE INTO THE LAST AMER BASTION ON THE TIDELINE AT GREEN BEACH AND HOISTED A GREEN ISLAMIC FLAG WHERE THE STARES AND STRIPES HAS BEEN LOWER A FEW HOURS BEFORE. THUS THE AMER LEFT LEBANON, THEIR LAST BOATS TRAILING A WAKE THROUGH THE POLLUTED WATER TO THE SOUND OF GUNFIRE.

SIX DAS LATER, THE COMMANDER OF THE NEW JERSEY, CAPTAIN RL D. MILLIGAN, WAS INTERVIEWED BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AT THE EL PAHA NIGHTCLUB IN THE ISRAELI PORT OF HAIFA. "I THINK THE BATTLESHIP IS A DEFINATE WEAPON OF PEACE,"HE SAID. '

AND HOPE WE HAVE MADE SOME IMPACT ON BRINGING PEACE TO LEBANON.']

REAGAN’S “REDEPLOYMENT” WAS COMPLETED BY FEB. 26, WHEN THE LAST OF THE MARINES RETREATED FROM LEBANON.

THE MISSION OF THE MARINES HAD BEEN A HUMILIATING FAILURE. [FROM ISRAEL CHARGED WITH SYSTEMATIC HARASSMENT OF U.S. MARINES, BY DONALD NEFF

FORMER TIME MAGAZINE BUREAU CHIEF, ISRAEL




FISK CONCLUDES, “THE MOMENT THE SIXTH FLEET OPENED FIRE TO HELP GEMAYEL'S FORCES, THE MARINES IN BEIRUT BECAME PARTICIPANTS IN THE CIVIL WAR. THE VERY SECOND THAT THE FIRST US NAVY SHELL LANDED AMONG THE DRUZE AT SOQ AL-GHARB, THE AMERICANS ALIGNED THEMSELVES WITH THE [FASCIST CHRISTIAN] PHALANGE IN OPEN WAR AGAINST THE MUSLIMS OF LEBANON. EVERY SELF-IMPOSED RULE OF THE 'PEACE-KEEPING' FORCE WOULD BE BROKEN.

AMER PRODUCED ANOTHER EVER MORE FANCIFUL CHIMERA -. IRANIAN SUICIDE PILOTS WERE INSTALLED IN BALLBEK, WE WERE INFORMED.”

15. RWANDA







IN APRIL 1994, A GENOCIDE ERUPTED IN RWANDA DUE TO A CONFLICT BETWEENHUTU AND TUTSI ETHNIC GROUPS. OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, AN ESTIMATED 500,000 TO 1 MILLION RWANDANS, MAINLY TUTSI, WERE KILLED. BY JULY, THE RWANDAN PATRIOTIC FRONT TOOK OVER THE COUNTRY. ALTHOUGH THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION AND THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY WAS AWARE OF THE GENOCIDE TAKING PLACE IN RWANDA, NO ACTION WAS UNDERTAKEN.[4] BY THE END OF JULY, NEARLY TWO MILLION OF HUTUS FLED THE COUNTRY FOR SAFETY, SPAWNING THE GROWTH OF REFUGEE CAMPS IN NEIGHBORING COUNTRIES.[5] AS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE DIED OF DISEASE AND STARVATION IN THESE REFUGEE CAMPS, CLINTON ORDERED AIRDROPS OF FOOD AND SUPPLIES FOR THE HUTU REFUGEES, INCLUDING KNOWNGENOCIDAIRES. IN JULY, HE SENT 200 NON-COMBATANT TROOPS TO THE RWANDA CAPITAL OF KIGALI TO MANAGE THE AIRPORT AND DISTRIBUTE RELIEF SUPPLIES. THESE TROOPS WERE SUBSEQUENTLY WITHDRAWN BY OCTOBER 1994. CLINTON AND THE UNITED NATIONS FACED CRITICISM FOR THEIR NON-RESPONSE TO THE GENOCIDE. WHEN CLINTON TRAVELED TO AFRICA IN 1998, HE SAID THAT THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY, PRESUMABLY INCLUDING THE US, MUST ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THE MASSACRES.[6] WHEN SPEAKING ABOUT THE RWANDA CRISIS, CLINTON CALLED IT HIS WORST FAILURE, ADMITTING "I BLEW IT."[7]

4/9/12, PENTAGON PRODUCES SATELLITE PHOTOS OF 1994 RWANDA GENOCIDE, KEITH HARMON SNOW, CONSCIOUS BEING


EIGHTEEN YEARS AFTER THE HISTORIC '100 DAYS OF GENOCIDE' IN RWANDA THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT HAS SUDDENLY PRODUCED NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN SATELLITE IMAGES TO SUPPORT THE GENOCIDE EXTRADITION TRIAL OF A FORMER RWANDAN NOW U.S. CITIZEN IN NEW HAMPSHIRE (USA). THE EXISTENCE OF SATELLITE IMAGERY FROM 1994 WOULD ENABLE THE 'INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY' TO FURTHER EXPLORE HERETOFORE HIDDEN FACTS ABOUT THE DOUBLE PRESIDENTIAL ASSASSINATIONS OF APRIL 6 OR MASSACRES COMMITTED BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER 1994.


IN A REMARKABLE DEVELOPMENT, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN THE HISTORY OF THE 'RWANDA GENOCIDE' TRIALS OR RELATED RWANDA ASYLUM HEARINGS WHERE PENTAGON SATELLITE PHOTOGRAPHS HAVE BEEN PRODUCED AS EVIDENCE, AND THE FIRST TIME THAT THE EXISTENCE OF SATELLITE PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN OVER RWANDA DURING THE SO-CALLED '100 DAYS OF GENOCIDE' HAS EVER BEEN VERIFIED.

LATER IN THE MUNYENYEZI TRIAL THE U.S. PROSECUTORS PRODUCED A 'PENTAGON ANALYST' WHO TESTIFIED ABOUT THE SATELLITE PHOTOGRAPHS. THE PENTAGON ANALYST WAS MR. ERIC R. BENN, TECHNICAL EXECUTIVE, ANALYSIS AND PRODUCTION DIRECTORATE, NATIONAL GEOSPATIAL-INTELLIGENCE AGENCY (NGA). THE PHOTOGRAPHS INTRODUCED INTO THE PUBLIC RECORD INCLUDE VERY HIGH RESOLUTION IMAGES SHOT OVER RWANDA IN MAY, JUNE AND JULY OF 1994. THE NGA IS ONE OF THE MOST SECRETIVE ORGANIZATIONS ON EARTH AND ITS CUSTOMERS INCLUDE THE PENTAGON AND ALL 16 SHADOWY AGENCIES OF THE U.S. INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY (IC).

16. SUDAN














THE AL-SHIFA, ARABIC FOR "HEALING") PHARMACEUTICAL FACTORY IN KHARTOUM NORTH, SUDAN, WAS CONSTRUCTED BETWEEN 1992 AND 1996 WITH COMPONENTS IMPORTED FROM THE UNITED STATES, SWEDEN, ITALY,SWITZERLAND, GERMANY, INDIA, AND THAILAND.THE INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX WAS COMPOSED OF AROUND FOUR BUILDINGS. IT WAS THE LARGEST PHARMACEUTICAL FACTORY IN KHARTOUM AND EMPLOYED OVER 300 WORKERS, PRODUCING MEDICINE BOTH FOR HUMAN AND VETERINARY USE. THE FACTORY WAS USED PRIMARILY FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF ANTI-MALARIA MEDICINES AND VETERINARY PRODUCTS.




THE FACTORY WAS DESTROYED IN 1998 BY A MISSILE ATTACK LAUNCHED BY THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, KILLING ONE EMPLOYEE AND WOUNDING ELEVEN. CRITICS OF THE ATTACK HAVE ESTIMATED THAT UP TO TENS OF THOUSANDS OF SUDANESE CIVILIANS DIED THROUGHOUT SUDAN AS THE SUPPLY OF NECESSARY DRUGS WAS CUT OFF.[1][2] THE US GOVERNMENT STATED SEVERAL REASONS FOR ITS ATTACK:
RETALIATION FOR THE 1998 UNITED STATES EMBASSY BOMBINGS AGAINST THE US EMBASSIES IN DAR ES SALAAM, TANZANIA AND NAIROBI, KENYA.
THE ALLEGED USE OF THE FACTORY FOR THE PROCESSING OF VX NERVE AGENT.
FOR ALLEGED TIES BETWEEN THE OWNERS OF THE PLANT AND AL QUAEDA.

THESE JUSTIFICATIONS FOR THE BOMBING WERE DISPUTED BY THE OWNERS OF THE PLANT, THE SUDANESE GOVERNMENT, AND OTHER GOVERNMENTS.



SUDAN HAS SINCE INVITED THE U.S. TO CONDUCT CHEMICAL TESTS AT THE SITE FOR EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT ITS CLAIM THAT THE PLANT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A CHEMICAL WEAPONS FACTORY; SO FAR, THE U.S. HAS REFUSED THE INVITATION TO INVESTIGATE. NEVERTHELESS, THE U.S. HAS REFUSED TO OFFICIALLY APOLOGIZE FOR THE ATTACKS, SUGGESTING THAT SOME PRIVATELY STILL SUSPECT THAT CHEMICAL WEAPONS ACTIVITY EXISTED THERE.[6]

THE KHARTOUM ATTACK WAS NOTED FOR ITS OUTSTANDING PRECISION, AS SUCCESSIVE MISSILES ALL BUT LEVELED THE AL-SHIFA WORKS WITH MINIMAL DAMAGE TO SURROUNDING AREAS, ALTHOUGH ONE PERSON WAS KILLED AND TEN WOUNDED IN THE ATTACK.

DIRECTLY AFTER THE STRIKE THE SUDANESE GOVERNMENT DEMANDED THAT THE SECURITY COUNCILCONDUCT AN INVESTIGATION OF THE SITE TO DETERMINE IF IT HAD BEEN USED TO PRODUCE CHEMICAL WEAPONS OR PRECURSORS. SUCH AN INVESTIGATION WAS FROM THE START OPPOSED BY THE US. NOR HAS USA EVER LET AN INDEPENDENT LABORATORY ANALYZE THE SAMPLE ALLEGEDLY CONTAINING EMPTA. MICHAEL BARLETTA, BULLETIN ATOMIC SCIENTISTS, CONCLUDES THAT THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THE AL-SHIFA FACTORY WAS EVER INVOLVED IN PRODUCTION OF CHEMICAL WEAPONS, AND IT IS KNOWN THAT MANY OF THE INITIAL US ALLEGATIONS WERE WRONG.[4]

==========================================

17. PANAMA







IN THE FIRST EIGHTY YEARS FOLLOWING INDEPENDENCE FROM SPAIN, PANAMA WAS A DEPARTMENT OF COLOMBIA, SINCE VOLUNTARILY BECOMING PART OF IT AT THE END OF 1821.




IN NOVEMBER 1903, PANAMA PROCLAIMED ITS INDEPENDENCE AND CONCLUDED THE HAY/BUNAU-VARILLA TREATY WITH THE UNITED STATES. THE TREATY GRANTED RIGHTS TO THE UNITED STATES "AS IF IT WERE SOVEREIGN" IN A ZONE ROUGHLY 10 MILES (16 KM) WIDE AND 50 MILES (80 KM) LONG. IN THAT ZONE, THE U.S. WOULD BUILD A CANAL, THEN ADMINISTER, FORTIFY, AND DEFEND IT "IN PERPETUITY."




IN 1914, THE UNITED STATES COMPLETED THE EXISTING 83 KM (52 MI) CANAL.




FROM 1903 UNTIL 1968, PANAMA WAS A CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRACY DOMINATED BY A COMMERCIALLY ORIENTED OLIGARCHY. DURING THE 1950S, THE PANAMANIAN MILITARY BEGAN TO CHALLENGE THE OLIGARCHY'S POLITICAL HEGEMONY.




IN 1968 LIEUTENANT COLONEL OMAR TORRIJOS HERRERA AND MAJOR BORIS MARTÍNEZ COMMANDED A COUP.

THE MILITARY JUSTIFIED ITSELF BY DECLARING THAT ARIAS MADRID WAS TRYING TO INSTALL A DICTATORSHIP, AND PROMISED A RETURN TO CONSTITUTIONAL RULE.




THE GUARD BEGAN A SERIES OF POPULIST MEASURES THAT WOULD GAIN SUPPORT FOR THE COUP. AMONGST THEM WERE THE FREEZING OF PRICES ON FOOD, MEDICINE[17] AND OTHER GOODS UNTIL JANUARY 31, 1969, THE FREEZING OF RENTING PRICES, AND THE LEGALIZATION OF THE PERMANENCE OF SQUATTING FAMILIES IN BOROUGHS SURROUNDING THE HISTORIC SITE OF PANAMA VIEJO.[16] THE MILITARY SOON BEGAN CALLING ITSELF EL GOBIERNO REVOLUCIONARIO ("THE REVOLUTIONARY GOVERNMENT").




DURING OMAR TORRIJOS'S CONTROL, THE MILITARY REGIME TRANSFORMED THE POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC STRUCTURE OF THE COUNTRY BY INITIATING MASSIVE COVERAGE OF SOCIAL SECURITY SERVICES AND EXPANDING PUBLIC EDUCATION.




THE CONSTITUTION WAS CHANGED IN 1972. FOR THE REFORM TO THE CONSTITUTION, THE MILITARY CREATED A NEW ORGANIZATION, THE ASSEMBLY OF CORREGIMIENTO REPRESENTATIVES, WHICH REPLACED THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. THE NEW ASSEMBLY, ALSO KNOWN AS THE PODER POPULAR ("POWER OF THE PEOPLE"), WAS COMPOSED OF 505 MEMBERS SELECTED BY THE MILITARY WITHOUT THE PARTICIPATION OF POLITICAL PARTIES, WHICH HAD BEEN ELIMINATED BY THE MILITARY. THE NEW CONSTITUTION PROCLAIMED OMAR TORRIJOS THE "MAXIMUM LEADER OF THE PANAMANIAN REVOLUTION", AND CONCEDED HIM UNLIMITED POWER FOR SIX YEARS, IN 1981,




TORRIJOS DIED IN A PLANECRASH. IT HAS BEEN WIDELY SPECULATED THAT HIS DEATH WAS A CIA ASSASSINATION DUE TO HIS RESISTANCE TO RENEGOTIATE THE PANAMA CANAL TREATY,(NEGOTIATED UNDER THE CARTER ADMINISTRATION), WITH PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN.[18] TORRIJOS' DEATH ALTERED THE TONE OF PANAMA'S POLITICAL EVOLUTION. GENERAL MANUEL NORIEGA WAS FIRMLY IN CONTROL OF BOTH THE PDF AND THE CIVILIAN GOVERNMENT.




THE MILITARY DICTATORSHIP, AT THAT TIME SUPPORTED BY THE UNITED STATES, PERPETRATED THE ASSASSINATION AND TORTURE OF MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED PANAMANIANS AND FORCED INTO EXILE AT LEAST ANOTHER HUNDRED DISSIDENTS (SEE ZÁRATE 15).[20] NORIEGA ALSO BEGAN PLAYING A DOUBLE ROLE IN CENTRAL AMERICA UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE CIA. WHILE THE CONTADORA GROUP CONDUCTED DIPLOMATIC EFFORTS TO ACHIEVE PEACE IN THE REGION, NORIEGA SUPPLIED THE NICARAGUAN CONTRAS AND OTHER GUERRILLAS IN THE REGION WITH WEAPONS AND AMMUNITION (PIZZURNO GELÓS AND ARAÚZ, ESTUDIOS SOBRE EL PANAMÁ REPUBLICANO 602).[16]




ON JUNE 6, 1987, THE RECENTLY RETIRED COLONEL ROBERTO DÍAZ HERRERA, RESENTFUL FOR NORIEGA'S VIOLATION OF THE "TORRIJOS PLAN" OF SUCCESSION THAT WOULD TURN HIM INTO THE CHIEF OF THE MILITARY AFTER NORIEGA, DECIDED TO DENOUNCE THE REGIME. HE REVEALED DETAILS OF THE ELECTORAL FRAUD, ACCUSED NORIEGA OF PLANNING TORRIJOS'S DEATH, DECLARED THAT TORRIJOS HAD RECEIVED 12 MILLION DOLLARS FROM THE SHAH OF IRAN SO THAT PANAMA WOULD GIVE THE EXILED IRANIAN LEADER ASYLUM, AND BLAMED NORIEGA FOR THE ASSASSINATION BY DECAPITATION OF OPPOSITION LEADER DR. HUGO SPADAFORA .[16]




UNITED STATES PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN BEGAN A SERIES OF SANCTIONS AGAINST THE MILITARY REGIME. THE UNITED STATES FROZE ECONOMIC AND MILITARY ASSISTANCE TO PANAMA IN THE SUMMER OF 1987 IN RESPONSE TO THE DOMESTIC POLITICAL CRISIS IN PANAMA AND AN ATTACK ON THE U.S. EMBASSY. YET THESE SANCTIONS DID LITTLE TO OVERTHROW NORIEGA BUT INSTEAD SEVERELY DAMAGED PANAMA'S ECONOMY. THE SANCTIONS HIT THE PANAMANIAN POPULATION HARD AND CAUSED THE GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT (GDP) TO DECLINE ALMOST 25 PERCENT BETWEEN 1987–1989 (SEE ACOSTA N.P.).[21]

ON FEBRUARY 5, 1988, GENERAL MANUEL ANTONIO NORIEGA WAS ACCUSED OF DRUG TRAFFICKING BY FEDERAL JURIES IN TAMPA AND MIAMI.

IN APRIL 1988, THE U.S. PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN INVOKED THE INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY ECONOMIC POWERS ACT, FREEZING PANAMANIAN GOVERNMENT ASSETS IN ALL U.S. ORGANIZATIONS.




ON DECEMBER 19, 1989, PRESIDENT GEORGE H. W. BUSH DECIDED TO USE FORCE AGAINST PANAMA, DECLARING THAT THE OPERATION WAS NECESSARY TO SAFEGUARD THE LIVES OF U.S. CITIZENS IN PANAMA, DEFEND DEMOCRACY AND HUMAN RIGHTS, COMBAT DRUG TRAFFICKING, AND SECURE THE FUNCTIONING OF THE CANAL AS REQUIRED BY THE TORRIJOS-CARTER TREATIES (NEW YORK TIMES, A TRANSCRIPT OF PRESIDENT BUSH'S ADDRESS N.P.).[22]

OPERATION JUST CAUSE WAS JUSTIFIED BY THE UNITED STATES AS NECESSARY TO SECURE THE FUNCTIONING OF THE CANAL AND RE-ESTABLISH DEMOCRACY IN THE COUNTRY. ALTHOUGH DESCRIBED AS A SURGICAL MANEUVER, THE ACTION LED TO CIVILIAN DEATHS WHOSE ESTIMATED NUMBERS RANGE FROM 400 TO 4,000 DURING THE TWO WEEKS OF ARMED ACTIVITIES IN THE LARGEST UNITED STATES MILITARY OPERATION SINCE THE END OF THE VIETNAM WAR. FOR SOME COMMENTATORS, THE ACTION WAS NOT INTENDED ONLY TO RID PANAMA OF THE DICTATORSHIP BUT SERVED ALSO TO REINFORCE UNITED STATES AUTHORITY OVER THE REGION RIGHT AT THE END OF THE COLD WAR, AS WELL AS USE PANAMA AS PRACTICE FIELD FOR WEAPONS AND STRATEGIES THAT WOULD SHORTLY AFTER BE USED IN THE GULF WAR (CAJAR PÁEZ 22).[23]

THE URBAN POPULATION, LIVING BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL, WAS GREATLY AFFECTED BY THE 1989 INVASION, BECOMING THE ‘COLLATERAL COST’ OF THE DEMOCRATIZATION OF THE COUNTRY. AS POINTED OUT IN 1995 BY A UN TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE MISSION TO PANAMA, THE BOMBARDMENTS DURING THE INVASION CAUSED THE DISPLACEMENT OF 20,000 PERSONS. THE MOST STRICKEN DISTRICT WAS EL CHORRILLO WHERE SEVERAL BLOCKS OF APARTMENTS WERE COMPLETELY DESTROYED. EL CHORRILLO HAD BEEN SINCE CANAL CONSTRUCTION DAYS A SERIES OF WOODEN BARRACKS; THESE EASILY CAUGHT FIRE UNDER THE UNITED STATES ATTACK. ACCORDING TO THE TECHNICAL MISSION, THE DISPLACED WERE SEGREGATED TO UNFINISHED USAID DWELLINGS, FAR FROM COMMUNICATIONS AND BASIC SERVICES, OR WERE SENT BACK TO LIVE IN EL CHORRILLO'S NEW LOW-STANDARD MULTI-FAMILY BUILDINGS CONSTRUCTED HASTILY BY THE PANAMANIAN GOVERNMENT IN REPLACEMENT OF THEIR LOST HOMES (SEE COMMITTEE ON ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL RIGHTS, N.P.). AS STATED BY RESPONDENTS IN A 2005 SURVEY CONDUCTED IN EL CHORRILLO, AFTER THE INVASION, CRIME AND DRUG TRAFFICKING INCREASED, AND LIVING CONDITIONS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WORSENED. COLEEN ACOSTA POINTS OUT THAT "THE INTERVENTION ADDED FURTHER TO (PANAMA'S) ECONOMIC DECLINE. SOME SECTIONS OF PANAMA CITY WERE HEAVILY DAMAGED, LEAVING THOUSANDS HOMELESS, AND SUBSEQUENT LOOTING LEFT BUSINESSES WITH DAMAGES IN THE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS. THE ECONOMIC DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE INVASION AND SUBSEQUENT CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE HAS BEEN ESTIMATED TO BE BETWEEN 1.5 AND 2 BILLION DOLLARS ... UNEMPLOYMENT ROSE TO RECORD HIGHS AS THE GOVERNMENT INFRASTRUCTURE WAS LEFT IN CHAOS. ACCORDING TO THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, 10,000 EMPLOYEES LOST THEIR JOBS IN THE AFTERMATH OF THE WAR (N.P.).[21]




THE U.S. TROOPS INVOLVED IN OPERATION JUST CAUSE ACHIEVED THEIR PRIMARY OBJECTIVES, AND NORIEGA EVENTUALLY SURRENDERED TO U.S. AUTHORITIES. HE COMPLETED HIS SENTENCE FOR DRUG TRAFFICKING CHARGES IN SEPTEMBER 2007. IN AUGUST 2007, A U.S. FEDERAL COURT IN MIAMI FOUND NORIEGA EXTRADITABLE TO FRANCE, WHERE HE WAS CONVICTED IN ABSENTIA FOR MONEY LAUNDERING. NORIEGA WAS EXTRADITED TO FRANCE ON APRIL 26, 2010 AND HIS TRIAL STARTED ON JUNE 28, 2010 IN PARIS, FRANCE. ON JULY 7, 2010, NORIEGA WAS CONVICTED BY THE 11TH CHAMBER OF THE TRIBUNAL CORRECTIONNEL DE PARIS, AND SENTENCED TO SEVEN YEARS IN JAIL. THE PROSECUTOR IN THE CASE HAD SOUGHT A TEN-YEAR PRISON TERM. IN ADDITION, €2.3 MILLION (APPROXIMATELY US$3.6 MILLION) THAT HAS LONG BEEN FROZEN IN NORIEGA'S FRENCH BANK ACCOUNTS WAS ORDERED TO BE SEIZED.

18. GRENADA







WHAT CAN BE SAID ABOUT AN INVASION LAUNCHED BY A NATION OF 240 MILLION PEOPLE AGAINST ONE OF 110 THOUSAND? AND WHEN THE INVADER IS, MILITARILY AND ECONOMICALLY, THE MOST POWERFUL IN THE WORLD, AND THE TARGET OF ITS ATTACK IS AN ISLAND OF SMALL VILLAGES 1,500 MILES AWAY, 133 SQUARE MILES IN SIZE, WHOSE MAIN EXPORTS ARE COCOA, NUTMEG AND BANANAS ... THE FIGHTING WAS OVER IN A WEEK, 135 AMERICANS KILLED OR WOUNDED, 84 CUBANS, 400 GRENADIANS, MORE OR LESS ... [BILL BLUM]
PRE-HISTORY AND EARLY EUROPEAN CONTACTS


GRENADA WAS FIRST SIGHTED BY EUROPEANS IN 1498 DURING THE 3RD VOYAGE OF COLUMBUS TO THE NEW WORLD. AT THE TIME THE INDIGENOUSISLAND CARIBS (KALINAGO)WHO LIVED THERE CALLED IT CAMAHOGNE. THESPANIARDS DID NOT PERMANENTLY SETTLE ON CAMAHOGNE. THE ENGLISHFAILED IN THEIR ATTEMPT AT SETTLEMENT IN 1609.
FRENCH COLONY (1649–1763)


ON MARCH 17, 1649 A FRENCH EXPEDITION OF 203 MEN FROM MARTINIQUE, LED BY JACQUES DU PARQUET FOUNDED A PERMANENT SETTLEMENT ON GRENADA. WITHIN MONTHS THIS LED TO CONFLICT WITH THE LOCAL ISLANDERS WHICH LASTED UNTIL 1654 WHEN THE ISLAND WAS COMPLETELY SUBJUGATED BY THE FRENCH.[4] THOSE INDIGINEOUS ISLANDERS WHO SURVIVED EITHER LEFT FOR NEIGHBOURING ISLANDS OR RETREATED TO REMOTER PARTS OF GRENADA WHERE THEY WERE MARGINALISED – THE LAST DISTINCT COMMUNITIES DISAPPEARED DURING THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY. WARFARE DID CONTINUE DURING THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY BETWEEN THE FRENCH ON GRENADA AND THE CARIBS OF PRESENT DAY DOMINICA AND ST. VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES.THE FRENCH NAMED THE NEW FRENCH COLONY LA GRENADE AND THE ECONOMY WAS INITIALLY BASED ON SUGAR AND INDIGO. THE FRENCH ESTABLISHED A CAPITAL KNOWN AS FORT ROYAL (LATER ST. GEORGE). TO SHELTER FROM HURRICANES THE FRENCH NAVY WOULD OFTEN TAKE REFUGE IN THE CAPITAL'S NATURAL HARBOUR, AS NO NEARBY FRENCH ISLANDS HAD A NATURAL HARBOUR TO COMPARE WITH THAT OF FORT ROYAL. THE BRITISH CAPTURED GRENADA DURING THE SEVEN YEARS' WAR IN 1762.
BRITISH COLONY (1763–1950)


GRENADA WAS FORMALLY CEDED TO BRITAIN BY THE TREATY OF PARIS IN 1763. THE FRENCH RE-CAPTURED THE ISLAND DURING THE AMERICAN WAR OF INDEPENDENCE, AFTERCOMTE D'ESTAING WON THE BLOODY LAND AND NAVALBATTLE OF GRENADA IN JULY 1779. HOWEVER THE ISLAND WAS RESTORED TO BRITAIN WITH THE TREATY OF VERSAILLES IN 1783. BRITAIN WAS HARD PRESSED TO OVERCOME A PRO-FRENCH REVOLT IN 1795–1796 LED BYJULIEN FEDON. NUTMEG WAS INTRODUCED TO GRENADA IN 1843 WHEN A MERCHANT SHIP CALLED IN ON ITS WAY TO ENGLAND FROM THE EAST INDIES. THE SHIP HAD A SMALL QUANTITY OF NUTMEG TREES ON BOARD WHICH THEY LEFT IN GRENADA AND THIS WAS THE BEGINNING OF GRENADA'S NUTMEG INDUSTRY THAT NOW SUPPLIES NEARLY FORTY PERCENT OF THE WORLD'S ANNUAL CROP.[5] IN 1877 GRENADA WAS MADE A CROWN COLONY.THEOPHILUS A. MARRYSHOW FOUNDED THE REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION (RGA) IN 1917 TO AGITATE FOR A NEW AND PARTICIPATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL DISPENSATION FOR THE GRENADIAN PEOPLE. PARTLY AS A RESULT OF MARRYSHOW`S LOBBYING THE WOOD COMMISSION OF 1921–1922 CONCLUDED THAT GRENADA WAS READY FOR CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM IN THE FO OF A 'MODIFIED' CROWN COLONY GOVERNMENT. THIS MODIFICATION GRANTED GRENADIANS FROM 1925 THE RIGHT TO ELECT 5 OF THE 15 MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL, ON A RESTRICTED PROPERTY FRANCHISE ENABLING THE WEALTHIEST 4% OF ADULT GRENADIANS TO VOTE.[6]

THE CAPITAL ST. GEORGE'S.
TOWARDS INDEPENDENCE (1950–1974)


IN 1950 ERIC GAIRY FOUNDED THE GRENADA UNITED LABOUR PARTY, INITIALLY AS A TRADES UNION, WHICH LED THE 1951 GENERAL STRIKEFOR BETTER WORKING CONDITIONS, THIS SPARKED GREAT UNREST – SO MANY BUILDINGS WERE SET ABLAZE THAT THE DISTURBANCES BECAME KNOWN AS THE 'RED SKY' DAYS – AND THE BRITISH AUTHORITIES HAD TO CALL IN MILITARY REINFORCEMENTS TO HELP REGAIN CONTROL OF THE SITUATION. ON OCTOBER 10, 1951 GRENADA HELD ITS FIRST GENERAL ELECTIONS ON THE BASIS OF UNIVERSAL ADULT SUFFRAGE [7]- ERIC GAIRY'S GRENADA UNITED LABOUR PARTY WON 6 OF THE 8 SEATS CONTESTED.[7] FROM 1958 TO 1962 GRENADA WAS PART OF THEFEDERATION OF THE WEST INDIES.

ON MARCH 3, 1967 GRENADA WAS GRANTED FULL AUTONOMY OVER ITS INTERNAL AFFAIRS AS AN ASSOCIATED STATE. HERBERT BLAIZE WAS THE FIRST PREMIER OF THE ASSOCIATED STATE OF GRENADA FOM MARCH TO AUGUST 1967. ERIC GAIRY SERVED AS PREMIER FROM AUGUST 1967 UNTIL FEBRUARY 1974.
INDEPENDENCE AND REVOLUTION (1974–1983)


INDEPENDENCE WAS GRANTED IN 1974 UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF THE THENPREMIER, SIR ERIC MATTHEW GAIRY, WHO BECAME THE FIRST PRIME MINISTER OF GRENADA.

CIVIL CONFLICT GRADUALLY BROKE OUT BETWEEN ERIC GAIRY’S GOVERNMENT AND SOME OPPOSITION PARTIES INCLUDING THE NEW JEWEL MOVEMENT (NJM). GAIRY’S PARTY WON ELECTIONS IN 1976 BUT THE OPPOSITION DID NOT ACCEPT THE RESULT, ACCUSING IT OF FRAUD. IN 1979, THE NEW JEWEL MOVEMENT UNDER MAURICE BISHOP LAUNCHED A PARAMILITARY ATTACK ON THE GOVERNMENT RESULTING IN ITS OVERTHROW.ON OCTOBER 19, 1983, BERNARD COARD AND HIS WIFE PHYLLIS, BACKED BY THE GRENADIAN ARMY, LED A COUP AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT OF MAURICE BISHOP AND PLACED BISHOP UNDER HOUSE ARREST. THESE ACTIONS LED TO STREET DEMONSTRATIONS IN VARIOUS PARTS OF THE ISLAND. BISHOP HAD ENOUGH SUPPORT FROM THE POPULATION THAT HE WAS EVENTUALLY FREED AFTER A DEMONSTRATION IN THE CAPITAL. WHEN BISHOP ATTEMPTED TO RESUME POWER, HE WAS CAPTURED AND EXECUTED BY SOLDIERS ALONG WITH SEVEN OTHERS, INCLUDING GOVERNMENT CABINET MINISTERS. THE COARD REGIME THEN PUT THE ISLAND UNDER MARTIAL LAW.[CITATION NEEDED]

THE CONSTITUTION WAS SUSPENDED AND BISHOP'S "PEOPLE'S REVOLUTIONARY GOVERNMENT" RULED SUBSEQUENTLY BY DECREE. CUBANDOCTORS, TEACHERS, AND TECHNICIANS WERE INVITED IN TO HELP DEVELOP HEALTH, LITERACY, AND AGRICULTURE OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS. AGRARIAN REFORMS STARTED BY THE GAIRY GOVERNMENT WERE CONTINUED AND GREATLY EXPANDED UNDER THE REVOLUTIONARY GOVERNMENT OF MAURICE BISHOP.

SOME YEARS LATER A DISPUTE DEVELOPED BETWEEN BISHOP AND CERTAIN HIGH-RANKING MEMBERS OF THE NJM. THOUGH BISHOP COOPERATED WITHCUBA AND THE USSR ON VARIOUS TRADE AND FOREIGN POLICY ISSUES, HE SOUGHT TO MAINTAIN A "NON-ALIGNED" STATUS. BISHOP HAD BEEN TAKING HIS TIME MAKING GRENADA WHOLLY SOCIALIST, ENCOURAGING PRIVATE-SECTOR DEVELOPMENT IN AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE THE ISLAND A POPULAR TOURIST DESTINATION. HARDLINE MARXIST PARTY MEMBERS, INCLUDINGCOMMUNISTDEPUTY PRIME MINISTER BERNARD COARD, DEEMED BISHOP INSUFFICIENTLY REVOLUTIONARY AND DEMANDED THAT HE EITHER STEP DOWN OR ENTER INTO A POWER-SHARING ARRANGEMENT.[CITATION NEEDED]

AFTER A 1983 INTERNAL POWER STRUGGLE ENDED WITH THE DEPOSITION AND MURDER OF REVOLUTIONARY PRIME MINISTER MAURICE BISHOP, THE INVASION BEGAN ON 25 OCTOBER 1983, LESS THAN 48 HOURS AFTER THE BOMBING OF THE MARINE BARRACKS IN BEIRUT.

THE US ARMY'S RAPID DEPLOYMENT FORCE (1ST, 2ND RANGER BATTALIONS AND 82D AIRBORNE DIVISION PARATROOPERS), MARINES, ARMY DELTA FORCE AND NAVY SEALS AND OTHER COMBINED FORCES CONSISTED OF THE 7,600 TROOPS FROM THE UNITED STATES, JAMAICA, AND MEMBERS OF THEREGIONAL SECURITY SYSTEM (RSS)[3] DEFEATED GRENADIAN RESISTANCE AFTER A LOW-ALTITUDE AIRBORNE ASSAULT BY THE 75TH RANGERS ON POINT SALINAS AIRPORT ON THE SOUTHERN END OF THE ISLAND WHILE A MARINE HELICOPTER AND AMPHIBIOUS LANDING OCCURRED ON THE NORTHERN END AT PEARL'S AIRFIELD SHORTLY AFTERWARD.

WHILE THE INVASION ENJOYED BROAD PUBLIC SUPPORT IN THE UNITED STATES,[4] AND RECEIVED SUPPORT FROM SOME SECTORS IN GRENADA FROM LOCAL GROUPS WHO VIEWED THE POST-COUP REGIME AS ILLEGITIMATE,[5] IT WAS CRITICIZED BY THE UNITED KINGDOM, CANADA AND THE UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY, WHICH CONDEMNED IT AS "A FLAGRANT VIOLATION OFINTERNATIONAL LAW".[6] BY A VOTE OF 108 IN FAVOR TO 9, WITH 27 ABSTENTIONS. THE UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL CONSIDERED A SIMILAR RESOLUTION, WHICH FAILED TO PASS WHEN VETOED BY THE US.

[EXCERPTED FROM GRENADA, AND THE INVASION OF GRENADA BY WIKIPEDIA]

BILL BLUM ADDS, UNFORTUNATELY WITHOUT DOCUMENTED FOOTNOTES,
BEFORE LONG THE PSYCHOLOGICAL OPERATIONS BATTALION OF THE US ARMY WAS CRUISING OVER THE ISLAND IN A HELICOPTER OFFERING THE GRENADIANS, VIA A LOUDSPEAKER, A LARGE SERVING OF ANTI-CUBAN FARE: THE CUBANS HAD SUPPORTED THOSE WHO HAD KILLED BISHOP, GRENADA HAD BEEN A PAWN OF CUBA, CASTRO/COMMUNISM WERE STILL A THREAT, AND SO FORTH. POSTERS WERE PUT UP SHOWING ALLEGED CAPTURED CUBAN WEAPONS WITH THE SLOGAN, "ARE THESE THE TOOLS THAT BUILD AIRPORTS?" OTHER POSTERS LINKED THE MRC LEADERS TO MOSCOW.
IN MARCH 1984, A VISITING LONDON JOURNALIST COULD REPORT:
'THE ISLAND REMAINS VISIBLY UNDER AMERICAN OCCUPATION. JEEPS PATROL CONSTANTLY. HELICOPTERS FLY OVER THE BEACHES. ARMED MILITARY POLICE WATCH THE VILLAGERS AND FREQUENT THE CAFES. CIA MEN SUPERVISE THE SECURITY AT THE COURTHOUSE. THE ISLAND'S ONLY NEWSPAPER POURS OUT WEEKLY VITRIOL ABOUT THE YEARS OF THE REVOLUTIONARY GOVERNMENT, THIS GRUESOME PERIOD IN OUR HISTORY". THE PRESSURES, IN A SMALL A SMALL COMMUNITY, ARE HEAVY.

20 CUBA




THE RACIST INVESTOR RULING ELITE OF THE NEW UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WITH A PREPONDERANCE OF SLAVE HOLDERS IN THE SOUTH AND SLAVE TRADERS IN THE NORTH, AFTER THE SUCCESSFUL SLAVE REVOLT IN HAITI WERE NATURALLY FEARFUL OF ANOTHER RULE OF FREED SLAVES IN CUBA, DURING ITS FIRST WAR FOR INDEPENDENCE, THE US SOLD THE LATEST WEAPONS TO SPAIN, BUT NOT TO THE CUBAN REBELS.[10], AND ALTHOUGH VARIOUS EUROPEAN GOVERNMENTS RECOGNIZED THE REBEL GOVERNMENT, THE US DID NOT.




DURING THE SLAVE STATE - FREE STATE POLITICAL CONFLICT IN CONGRESS, WHICH HAD STALLED THE PROCESS OF OPENING THE WESTERN TERRITORIES TO SETTLEMENT, EFFORTS WERE MADE TO ACQUIRE CUBA AND TO ANNEX NICARAGUA, BOTH TO BE SLAVE STATES.




TOWARDS THE END OF THE 19TH CENTURY POWERFUL INVESTORS HAD BEEN CASTING A EYE ON CUBA WITH ITS LUCRATIVE SUGAR INDUSTRY AS A POSSIBLE FUTURE US POSSESSION. THE WIDE NEWSPAPER CHAIN OF RANDOLPH HEARST IS CREDITED WITH WHIPPING UP THE NECESSARY WAR FEVER THAT WOULD FREE CUBA FROM SPANISH CONTROL WITH THE SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR, JUST AS CUBAN REVOLUTIONARIES WERE ABOUT TO WIN TRUE INDEPENDENCE.




CUBA WAS GRANTED FORMAL INDEPENDENCE FROM THE US IN 1902, THE US RETAINED THE RIGHT TO INTERVENE IN CUBAN AFFAIRS AND TO SUPERVISE ITS FINANCES AND FOREIGN RELATIONS AND FORCE THE US LEASEING THE GUANTÁNAMO BAY NAVAL BASE FROM CUBA. IN 1906, UPON A SUCCESSFUL ARMED REVOLT BY INDEPENDENCE WAR VETERANS, THE US INTERVENED REOCCUPYING CUBA FOR THREE YEARS, AND ACCORDING TO CUBAN HISTORIANS INTRODUCED POLITICAL AND SOCIAL CORRUPTION .

SHAME  SHAME  Mr. Obama  President   Government of USA

US  President   Obama  -   A  Deadly  Criminal      

AN APPEAL TO THE HONOURABLE CHIEF JUSTICE OF SUPREME  COURT OF USA  , CHIEF JUSTICE OF INDIA  &  CHIEF JUSTICE OF PAKISTAN

- By American Citizens


Our country was known as " Heaven On Earth" , "Land of Equality & Equal Oppurtunity" & the "Statue of Liberty" rightly symbolized the spirit of our country. Now USA is known as a "Terror State".


In the last 3 – 4 decades , the persons who occupied the office of President USA ,in their individual capacity took wrong , inhuman decisions , meddled in the internal affairs of other sovereign nations , spent our resources to create terrorist outfits like al-queda , Taliban in those countries.


In turn these terrorist outfits terrorized , murdered millions of innocents & this Frankenstein monster came home to roost on September 9 / 11 . After September 9 / 11 , each terror suspect is severely tortured in hell like Abu Garibh prison , elsewhere by our authorities. For argument sake let us accept
that these terrorists who murder innocents don't deserve kid glove treatment & rightly deserve 3rd degree torture. When a single terrorist deserve such inhuman 3rd degree torture , what quantum of punishment , torture – previous presidents of USA deserve – who created , aided & abetted thousands of such terrorists , terrorist outfits ?


Herby, we appeal to the honourable Supreme Court of USA to order the federal government to to make public :


1. how much US resources were spent from US TREASURY , to finance terrorist outfits , military juntas in other sovereign nations ?


2. is not Al-queda , Taliban creations of USA ?


3. did September 9 / 11 WTC attack truly happened by hijacked airplane or was it planned by US authorities ? see
http://www.neiu.edu/~ayjamess/hmmm.htm#Main


4 . is racial profiling , profiling a particular community & suspecting all the muslims as terror suspects , right?


5. if it is right , the creators of such terrorist outfits – past presidents of USA – who were Christians makes it logical to assume whole of our Christian community as terror suspect ?


6. is not use of 3rd degree torture on all type of suspects in US prisons & in the prisons of US allied countries at the behest of US authorities , right ? is it not violation of human rights & US laws ?


7. did US find any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq , which was the main reason for US attacking Iraq ?


8. why not US authorities use scientific interrogation techniques like polygraph , lie detector tests instead of inhuman 3rd degree torture on terror suspects & suspects in other criminal cases ?


9 . what legal right our President of USA have , to illegally spend billions of our dollars on inhuman , illegal acts of terrorism , military coup , creation , aiding & abetting of terrorists , etc , in other sovereign nations ? while we are suffering from loss of jobs ,loss of home due to natural calamities , etc ?

10. Inspite of repeated appeals for justice JUDGES  of  SUPREME COURT of  USA are mum and not taking action against terror presidents. Is it because  they owe their elevation to the highest judicial post  to the  US president or is it a survival act ? 

Crux , Foundation of all religions is humanity , kindness & universal brotherhood. It is the preachers who misrepresent it. Terrorism created , aided , abetted by anybody is inhuman & wrong . Terrorism is creation of power hungry , selfish people & they must be legally punished .


Hereby , we appeal to the honorable supreme court of USA to legally prosecute Previous PRESIDENTS OF USA in the last 4 decades , for crimes of terror , as per the present US anti-terror laws.



Recently , in the issue of weekly publication  "The Week" , cabinet minister of government of srilanka (previously a deadly terrorist & right hand man of LTTE chief Prabhakaran ) Mr. Karuna , Himself has stated in an interview that LTTE received arms training in Tamilnadu State of India , to wage war against Government of Srilanka. The Justice Jain Commission Of Enquiry , which probed late PM Rajiv Gandhi's assassination case , also stated that Tamil Terrorist outfits in Srilanka Received monetary , financial , arms training support from government of India. GOI has even setup a radio station for tamil terrorists of srilanka , within Indian territory. GOI spent billions of dollars of Indian taxpayer's money for aiding & abetting terrorism , while billions of Indians were half starving & going without a single meal , without proper health care.



Recently  , in a media interview the president of Government of Pakistan Mr. Jardari himself has confessed that in the previous years the government of Pakistan has aided & abetted Terrorism for tactical gains of Pakistan , spending billions of dollars of Pakistani taxpayer's money. While ordinary  Pakistanis were suffering from starvation , lack of health care , etc.



All the above proves that Previous Presidents of Government of USA , previous Presidents of Government of Pakistan & Previous Prime Ministers of Government of India were the real master minds of TERRORISM , founded , aided , abetted TERRORISM FOR THEIR OWN SELFISH GAINS. In turn  Murdering  lakhs of innocent human beings. These guilty previous presidents & prime ministers are deadly than OSAMA BIN LADEN.



Hereby , we appeal to the Honorable Chief Justices of supreme courts of USA , INDIA , PAKISTAN  , BANGLADESH , SRILANKA & INTERNATIONAL WAR CRIMES TRIBUNAL , to legally prosecute the previous Prime Ministers of INDIA , the previous presidents of USA & PAKISTAN , on charges of master minding TERRORISM & murdering innocent people in their respective countries .

Affected Citizens of USA

Presidents Day! USA Honors 12 Commanders-in Chief Prosecutable For Wrongful Deaths In 26 Nations

By Jay Janson

Eminent historian Prof. Noam Chomsky, has said over and over again, without provoking much negative outcry, "If the Nuremberg laws were applied, then every post-war American president would have been hanged." U S Chief Prosecutor Robert Jackson at the Nuremberg trials of Germans in 1945, felt obliged to point out that "these laws are not meant only for Germans, but for the citizens of all nations." Why do Americans not get it?

Eminent historian Prof. Noam Chomsky of M.I.T.,  various times voted world's most famous intellectual in international polls,  has said over and over again, without provoking much negative outcry, "If the Nuremberg laws were applied, then every post-war American president would have been hanged."

Principle I of Nuremberg Principles under which Nazi leaders were tried and executed, to which all nations are signatories and, by article six of US Constitution became part of the US Constitution and law of the United States of America reads as follows:  "Any person who commits an act which constitutes a crime under international law  is responsible therefore and liable to punishment."

Principle III states:  "The fact that a person who committed an act which constitutes a crime under international law acted as Head of State  or responsible government official does not relieve him from responsibility under international law." US Chief Prosecutor Robert Jackson at the Nuremberg trials of Germans in 1945, felt obliged to point out that "these laws are not meant only for Germans, but for the citizens of all nations." The following lists only the greatest and fully documented crimes of each US president Americans are called to honor on Presidents Day.

TRUMAN: -

Harry Truman,  even though the Japanese were already defeated,  criminally ordered atom bombs dropped on civilians in two Japanese cities, after the US Air Force had criminally fire bombed sixty other  Japanese cities   The atom bombing was afterward condemned by Generals Eisenhower and MacArthur. - Truman criminally had the US Army invade Korea, well after the Japanese surrender had ended the war, overthrowing the democratically elected Korean government the departing Japanese military governor had permitted to be formed (ending forty years of a US non-recognition of Korea but as territory of Imperial Japan).[1] - Truman criminally cut Korea in two parts and installed in the South a brutal and murderous dictatorship that would massacre nearly 200,000 communists, socialists, unionists, farmers and citizens against the partition of their nation, in the years BEFORE armed forces of the North reunified Korea in five short weeks. - Truman again ordered a second invasion of Korea that with bombing flat the whole peninsula north and south took the lives of nearly three million Korea men, women and children. - Truman after witnessing the founding of an independent Vietnam, betrayed US highly decorated ally Ho Chi Minh, and brought back in the French Colonial Army in US ships and financed what would be an eight year French attempt to reconquer their colony which during the war fascist France had administered under the Japanese. - In Greece Truman betrayed those who fought against the Nazis and aided funded a right wing military takeover that brought subsequent years of deadly dictatorship.

EISENHOWER:

- Dwight Eisenhower had CIA, with bombing, overthrow the first democratically elected and popular president of Guatemala for the benefit of the United Fruit Company which owned or controlled most of the country. (Secretary of State Dulles and his CIA Head brother were both investors in United Fruit.) Massacres went on for decades afterward. - Eisenhower allowed or ordered the CIA to assassinate the popular Patrice Lumumba first president of an independent Congo, used US planes to help Belgium and other European interests initiate a reign of terror and genocidal confusion has taken more than six million lives and still goes on today. [see relevant CIA opened files]  - Eisenhower ordered a CIA operation led by agent Kermit Roosevelt that with British M16 overthrew Iran's popular democratic government and installed a dictator Shah, who as a lucrative US ally had CIA trained secret police torture and murder until the Iranian people rose up to face death by the thousands to force him to flee the country. - 'Ike' initiated the bombing of tiny Laos, that would eventually make it the most heavily bombed nation in history. - Eisenhower had CIA plan an invasion of Cuba. - In accusing Dwight Eisenhower of criminally forcing the permanent division of Vietnam, with all the subsequent injury and sorrow it brought, by blocking the all Vietnam elections promised the Vietnamese who had defeated the US backed and funded French Colonial Forces, a court would probably quiet naturally have asked why he did this in spite of his knowing (as he publicly admitted in his memoirs that "had the election taken place Ho Chi Minh would have received more than 80 percent of the vote." (Only on his last day in office did Eisenhower reveal the pressure upon him from the military industrial complex that must have brought him to commit these crimes against humanity and advised Americans to beware of the Military Industrial Complex.

KENNEDY: -

John Kennedy facilitated the ascension to power in Congo of the murderous tyrant Mobutu, whose bloody reign lasted for decades. - Kennedy sent armed advisors into Vietnam and ordered the first bombings of South Vietnam and sent in combat troops. His cabinet and generals okayed the assassination of the no longer useful dictator Diem and replacement by a general. - Kennedy gave the go ahead for the Eisenhower planed invasion of Cuba that include US bombing with unmarked warplanes, killing more than 900 Cuban men and women defenders. - Even after bringing the world to the brink of annihilation to remove Soviet missiles in Cuba, afterward he had brother an Attorney General Robert run a program of sabotage and attempted assassination of Cuba's hero Fidel Castro. [see pertinent opened CIA files]

JOHNSON: -

Lyndon Johnson ordered what can only be seen as a genocide in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, second only in magnitude to the Nazi WW II Holocaust. By the time he left office more than three million innocent men, women and children had been killed by as much as a half-million US soldiers (at highest troop level) with air and naval support. (US Chief Council for the Prosecution at the Nuremberg trials of Nazi criminals, General Telford Taylor, told a CBS interviewer in  19  that he would have be glad to prosecute US fliers shot down while bombing Vietnam.)[2]

- Johnson ordered the invasion and subsequent two year occupation of the Dominican Republic to prevent reinstallation of its overthrown and popular President. Thousands of Dominicans died.

- Johnson sent an aircraft carrier and large naval presence to Brazil to back the overthrow of a popular democratic government by Brazilian military and fascists that held repressive power through 1985, a crime against peace by Nuremberg Principles law. - Under Johnson the CIA has been documented to have been deeply criminally involved in Suharto's massacre of at least a half million Indonesians in the name of anti-communism. 

NIXON: -

Richard Nixon continued the genocide in what was French Indochina, heightening the bombing of North Vietnam and secret and horrific high altitude carpet bombing of Cambodia. At a trial of US genocide in Indochina, Nixon would have been charged with overseeing the murder of more than a million innocent citizens in their very own beloved country, as often as not in their own villages and homes. - A jury of judges could have listened to a self-incriminating tape of  Nixon explaining his strategy to his White House Chief of Staff:  "I call it the Madman Theory, Bob. I want the North Vietnamese to believe I've reached the point where I might do anything to stop the war. We'll just slip the word to them that, "for God's sake, you know Nixon is obsessed about communism. We can't restrain him when he's angry—and he has his hand on the nuclear button " and Ho Chi Minh  himself will be in Paris  in two days begging for peace."  - Another taped Nixon instructions to his Secretary of State Henry Kissinger incriminated him in a crime against humanity in Chile: "I want you to make the economy of Chile scream." Nixon would easily have been incriminated in an investigation of CIA homicidal crimes in Chile during his presidency. [see CIA opened files on Nixon] - In October 1969, the Nixon administration indicated to the Soviet Union that "the madman was loose" when the United States military was ordered to full global war readiness alert (unbeknownst to the majority of the American population), and bombers armed with thermonuclear weapons flew patterns near the Soviet border for three consecutive days.[3] 

FORD: -

Gerald Ford, was guilty of giving deadly criminal orders to American officials in Vietnam advising if not also fighting against so called Viet Cong, even though the US Armed Forces had officially been withdrawn. South Vietnam was a criminally created puppet state dictatorship of Washington kept in power by killing enough of its own people as the French had done.

Ford, ordered a belated show-the-flag,  after-the-fact,  retaliatory  air strike that took many Cambodian lives, though the crew of the captured American merchant ship  Mayaquez  had already been released after having been well fed by Cambodians, who had terribly little food themselves. He is guilty of causing the death of many of the attacking US Marines and airmen as well.

CARTER:  -

Jimmy Carter ordered a secret CIA attack on the US friendly government of Afghanistan, initiating what would be thirty-five years of death and destruction that has not yet ended. He instructed the CIA to train, arm and fund fighters of various war lords who were against their girls and women being educated in schools built by the new women-liberating government in Kabul. Carter had the CIA use fundamentalists in a campaign of terror, often executing teachers. These war lords included one famous for throwing acid in the faces of young women 'improperly' attired. Under Carter the CIA involved the secret services of Pakistan and Saudi Arabia in this criminally created from outside beginning of civil war. Carter was insidiously convinced by his advisor, David Rockefeller confident, Zbigniew Brzezinski that this CIA effort and involvement would sucker the Soviets into making the mistake of intervening to aid the attacked Kabul government.[4] - Carter provide large amounts of weapons and ammunition to US backed dictatorship in Nicaragua and El Salvador, knowing it was being used against a persecuted population. Send dictator General Suharto the military equipment including attack bombers that were need for Suharto genocidal invasion of East Timor.  - Carter would have been charged a responsible massacres in  General Chun's military dictatorship in South Korea crushing the democracy movement in Kwangju. Paratroopers carried out three days of barbarity killing up to  thousand people. The US received two requests for assistance: the citizens committee that had called for democracy requested help in negotiations; General Chun requested the release of 20,000 troops under US command to join the storm troopers. Carter honored the latter request and US naval and air units were deployed in a further show of US support for the military dictatorship of a man who South Korea would years later sentence to death.  - Carter's heartless statement explaining that there was no need to dispense [Nixon promised] monies to Vietnam to repair damage caused by the U.S. nor to apologize to the Vietnamese people, as “the destruction was mutual,”  would have been seen as self-incrimination for the suffering his nation was obliged to relieve. -  National Security Advisor to President Carter  Zbigniew Brzezinski ,  "began to look more favorably toward Saddam Hussein as a potential counterweight to the Ayatollah Khomeini and as a force to contain Soviet expansionism in the region." A search for documentation might show Carter giving the green light for an invasion of Iran by Saddam Hussain that took place while Carter was still in office. 

REAGAN: -

Ronald Reagan ordered the paratrooper and naval invasion of the tiny island state of Grenada that took the lives 94 people,  18 of whom were killed in the accidental bombing of a Grenadian mental hospital. Nearly eight thousand soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines had participated in Operation Urgent Fury, which even US European Allies denounced. The entire population of Grenada was less than 100,000. - Reagan ordered the bombing of Libya,  murdering a hundred Libyans including a daughter of  its revolutionary leader Gaddafi, in an attempt to assassinate her father. - The United States under the Reagan administration was found guilty of war crimes against Nicaragua by the International Court of Justice and ordered to pay reparations. Reagan is also liable for not recognizing the conviction. - Reagan had US warships bombard villages on the hills around Beiruit, Lebanon at an unknown cost of life. - Reagan authorized the creation of a so-called Contra army of guerrillas to attack Nicaragua from neighboring bases in Honduras committing atrocity after atrocity against civilians in rural areas. -   Presiding Judge reading the conviction of Guatemalan dictator General Rios Montt, [a favorite of Reagan] "he knew about everything that was going on and he did not stop it, despite having the power to stop it from being carried out." US President Ronald Reagan also had the power, greater power, to stop the massacres being perpetrated by dictator General and President Rios Montt, instead, m idway through the eighteen months of horrific massacres, Reagan  visited  Rios Montt  in Guatemala City and praised him as "a man of great personal integrity and commitment. Who was more guilty? There are all kind of documents that implicate Reagan in the genocide Mont was found guilty. -  In El Salvador, despite evidence that by 1984, 65,000 civilians had been murdered by the National Guard and right-wing paramilitary forces, President Reagan's national Bipartisan Commission on Central America justified massive military support.  - Ronald Reagan in his second year in office removed Iraq from the list of State Sponsors of Terrorism to ease the transfer of dual-use technology to that country in support of Saddam Hussein's horrific war on Iran. Central Intelligence Agency secretly directed armaments and hi-tech components to Iraq through false fronts and friendly third parties such as Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Kuwait, and they quietly encouraged rogue arms dealers and other private military companies to do the same. The United States actively supported the Iraqi war effort by supplying the Iraqis with billions of dollars of credits, by providing U.S. military intelligence and advice to the Iraqis, and by closely monitoring third country arms sales to Iraq to make sure that Iraq had the military weaponry required. The United States also provided strategic operational advice to the Iraqis to better use their assets in combat... The CIA, including both CIA Director Casey and Deputy Director Gates, knew of, approved of, and assisted in the sale of non-U.S. origin military weapons, ammunition and vehicles to Iraq. Reagan allow the sale of the components to make the gas Saddam used on Iranian troops and civilians.[5]

BUSH I: -

George H. W.  Bush I was responsible for  100,000 Iraqis retreating from Kuwait, being shot in the back from the air. Among them were may refugees. - Bush I ordered an invasion of Panama, US forces killing up to a thousand Panamanians . - Bush I  ordered the bombing of beautiful and wealthy Baghdad back a century incomprehensively targeting the understructure of the cities utilities. - As previously Vice-President under Reagan, Bush was involved in tightened relations with Saddam Hussain.  Did Bush, subsequently deliberately lead Iraq into actions that led to war in the Gulf, with the aim of achieving military pre-eminence in the region, and a New World Order founded on the threat and use of American military force? Former U.S. attorney general Ramsey Clark, who made a 2,000 mile journey through the war-torn Gulf, provides the most convincing evidence yet that this is the case, in his book  The Fire This Time: U.S. War Crimes in the Gulf,  a scathing indictment of America's foreign policy leading up to the war, of the war's devastating human and environmental consequences, and of the Allied war crimes committed during the attack on Iraq.  - Already as Vice-President then as president, Bush I worked toward a corporate  U.S. goal to transform Yugoslavia into a Third World  region, a cluster of weak right-wing principalities with the following  characteristics beginning in ernest after the death of Tito, to make that republic of six nationalities   incapable of charting an independent course of self-development; make its  natural resources completely accessible to transnational corporate  exploitation, including the enormous mineral wealth in Kosovo; to create a n impoverished but literate and skilled pop working at subsistence  wages, a cheap  labor pool that would help depress wages in Western  Europe and elsewhere; to d ismantle petroleum, engineering, mining, fertilizer, pharmaceutical, construction, automotive, and agricultural industries so they no  longer offer competition against Western producers;  to abolish Yugoslavia's public sector  services and social programs, using the same 'shock therapy" imposed  on the former Communist countries of Eastern Europe and the Soviet  Union; to replace the social wage with a neoliberal global free  market;  eliminating local banks access to Central Banks  and IMF sabotaging local production a process that would deliver still greater wealth and power  into the hands the speculative investment banking industry led from Wall Street.[6] - Bush I would have to answer for the crimes committed by CIA while he was Head of the CIA.

CLINTON: -

Bill Clinton can be  indicted for firing a missile into the metropolitan home of a one-and-half year-old child as part of his  sudden killer air strikes on Baghdad's center killing a total of six, including a well known poet immediately after  individuals were arrested and only accused of attempting to assassinate former US President George Walker Bush in Kuwait. Further self-indicting himself, President  Clinton announced that he ordered precautions to "minimize loss of innocent lives." Twenty-four missiles were fired into a large crowded city and only eight people were reported killed, so apparently the US military succeeded in following his directive. - Clinton ordered an air strike that destroyed  only pharmaceutical factory in all of the Sudan on a CIA report that it also made explosives.  - B  Bill Clinton ordered  Serbia bombed for 78 days, from 8,000 to 9,0000 or more sorties. More than 500 civilians were killed.  Nearly everything was struck, causing massive destruction and disruption; besides  known or suspected military sites,  power plants,  factories,  transportation,  telecommunications facilities,  vital infrastructure, including roads, bridges and rail lines,  fuel depots,  schools,  a TV station,  China's Belgrade embassy,  hospitals,  government offices,  churches,  historic landmarks, and  other targets in cities and villages throughout the country.

- Under "acts injurious to citizens of another country" as crimes against humanity would fall  the entrapment of Latin Americans and American workers in further impoverishment with NAFTA, subjugating Haitians to famine producing American ‘investments'  overseeing the economic and CIA pressure to breakup what had been for nearly a half century a pleasant, easy going, non-alined and only lightly and peacefully communist Yugoslavia.[6]

BUSH II:

- George Walker Bush ordered what would be a genocidal crime against humanity in bombing, invading, occupying, and destroying whole cities in this oldest of civilizations. He did not even bother to get the okay from the colonial powers subservient UN Security Council, not that that would have affected it being a Nuremberg Principles punishable crime. - Bush II ordered or okayed a CIA sponsored invasion of Haiti and the kidnapping of its popular priest president, cause many deaths and a chaos that would cost thousands of lives continuing on even today. -  When, within few weeks after the 9/11 attack, the leaders of the two Pakistani Islamist parties negotiated with Mullah Omar and bin Laden for the latter's extradition to Pakistan to stand trial for the 11 September attacks, Bush let it be known that he refuse the offer himself, on his own, and proceeded to bomb, invade and attempt to occupy and govern the whole nation of Afghanistan under the lie that Afghanis had some thing to do with the Saudi Arabians who  had trained in American and suicide themselves flying US captured airliners into the Trade Towers in New York. Saudi Arabians in Afghanistan, including the accused Osama bin Laden, had been brought in, armed and funded by the US. All this is beside the point of any possible justification for an attack on any nation. Bush is guilty of the death of tens thousands of entirely innocent Afghanis. - Bush II is prosecutable for the great theft of natural resources by US corporations, the imposing phony elections under occupation and protecting a drug lord invested administration by murdering the fighters of the formally de facto recognized Taliban government that defeated the US funded war lords engaged in a cataclysmic civil war after the final defeat of the Kabul government two years after withdrawal of its Soviet ally.

OBAMA:

- Barack Obama ordered the destruction of the government of Libya's defense forces as he continued to fund a CIA program, which in coordination with its several branches in European and Middle Eastern nations, was running a phony show of rebellion in the prospering citizenry of the 53rd highest quality of life of all nations on Earth using hired known and experienced terrorists. Obama sought to justify his crimes with the most easily disproven statements and absurd lies, e.g. "Libya has been suffering under Gaddafi for forty years," continuing absurd lies right up to the British and French warplane assisted primitive assassination of the Libya's revolutionary hero and Chairman of the African Union. [7] [8] (Obama being so young, it does not seem possible that Obama will escape prosecution and conviction under Nuremberg Principles law.) 

- For two bloody years, Obama has mercilessly been having CIA do, with allied secret services in a dozen countries of the Colonial-Neo-colonial powers, the same as it in Syria as it did in Libya, namely funding massacres and even more devastation in Syria. He will soon be unmasked 

- If Obama should try to defend record in his Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, and Libyan drone murders of his chosen suspected terrorist besides common law, US laws, the US Constitution and Nuremberg Principle international law the video recording of a presidential candidates debate in which he eagerly was the first to quickly raise his hand in assenting that as President he would not be dismayed from ordering a assassination strike on an important enemy leader even if he knew innocent bystanders would be killed as well. Needless to point out that no one is entitled to murder other, let alone on the pretext that that person might be intending harm to Americans. Obama has fingered for death, even an American religious  minister and his son, not even accused of committing a crime. 

- Obama's egotistical use of the first person pronoun in crediting himself with ordering crimes will facilitate his being tried for multiple mass murders and murdering collaterally with undeniable foreknowledge.  

- It seems redundant to list the crimes against peace each of his treats to nuclear bomb Iran, or bomb Korea or Syria. 
In addition, most of these presidents have maintained a criminal and life endangering embargoes and crippling sanctions on North Korea, Cuba and Iran. Principle Six of the Nuremberg Principles in describing crimes against humanity includes: " inhumane acts done against any civilian population." And all it would seem for one directive or another must have been involved in the genocide US foreign policy has brought to Somalia, first during the Cold War and thereafter supporting with constant military intervention various war lord governments.

Lastly, it best be noted that there are no war crimes involved, since there has not been a war declared since the Second World War. By definition, you can't have a war crime without a war. As Ron Paul has told the nation over and over again on network news programs, all the illegal use of US military in police actions or humanitarian intervention since and including Korea have been unconstitutional and therefor criminal. Martin Luther King said US atrocity wars and covert genocide on three continents since 1945 were meant to maintain unjust predatory investments. Former US Attorney General under Presidents Kennedy and Johnson calls US foreign policy the greatest crime against humanity since those of the Nazis, Japanese and other fascists during World War II, and that justice must eventually be served, punishments allotted, compensation and reparations paid for massive wrongful death, injury, destruction of property and theft of natural resources. And this will make further investment in wars unprofitable and wars inoperable. [9][10]

So much for honoring war criminals instead of restricting a celebration of Presidents Washington and Lincoln until 1971. As for Americans who carried out the criminal orders of US presidents since 1945,  Principle IV states: "The fact that a person acted pursuant to order of his Government or of a superior does not relieve him from responsibility under international law, provided a moral choice was in fact possible to him". This principle could be paraphrased as follows: "It is not an acceptable excuse to say 'I was just following my superior's orders'".  After the prominent, high profile event of the Nuremberg Trials, that excuse is now referred to by many as "Nuremberg Defense"

As to Americans who did not follow any of these presidents orders,

Principle VII states, "Complicity in the commission of a crime against peace, a war crime, or a crime against humanity as set forth in Principle VI is a crime under international law."

Yours truly leaves it un to the reader to decide if he has complicity, he,   being an American citizen  has no doubt of his. End Notes: 
1 1945, September 8  — US State Department officials, arrive in Korea with the US Army, disband the government of the Korean People's Republic created September 6, in Seoul, by delegates from local peoples' offices from all provinces throughout the peninsula formed when Japan announced intention to surrender (August 10), proceed without any Korean authorization whatsoever, to immediately cut Korea into two parts to be occupied by US and Soviet troops and establishing a military government, flying in from Washington DC (in General MacArthur's private plane), Singman Rhee, to head it; eventually installing him as president of a separate South Korea Government that will include collaborators, and will outlaw all strikes, declare the KPR and all its activities illegal and begin a deadly terror of persecution  of members of the disallowed Korean Peoples Republic, communists, socialists, unionists and anyone against the the partition and demanding an independent Korea. 1946-1949  — The US in effect declares war on the popular movement of Korea south of the 38th Parallel and sets in motion a repressive campaign dismantling the Peoples' Committees and their supporters throughout the south, becoming massively homicidal as Rhee's special forces and secret police take the lives of some 200,000 men, women and children as documented recently by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission set up by the National Assembly of the Republic of (South) Korea; on the Island of Cheju alone, within a year, as many as 60,000 of its 300,000 residents are murdered, while another 40,000 fled by sea to nearby Japan some two years before the Koreans from the north invade the South.

2 U.S. Nuremberg Trials Prosecutor Would Have Proudly Prosecuted McCain as a War Criminal 

Gen. Telford Taylor, a chief U.S. prosecutor at the Nuremberg trials is reported as having said that he would be proud to lead the prosecution of U.S. pilots captured in Vietnam. Robert Richter, an Emmy-winning documentary filmmaker, and political director for CBS News from 1965 to 1968 recently wrote in Bomber Pilot McCain: War Heroism or War Crimes? published by Institute for Public Accuracy, October 15, 2008, writes, I will never forget how stunned I was when Gen. Telford Taylor, a chief U.S. prosecutor at the Nuremberg trials after World War Two, told me that he strongly supported the idea of trying the U.S. pilots captured in North Vietnam as war criminals — and that he would be proud to lead in their prosecution. Richter noted that McCain has repeatedly invoked his record in the Vietnam War during the campaign, but that the effect of bomber pilots like McCain and of the Rolling Thunder bombing campaign has not been sufficiently scrutinized. An ardent opponent of the Vietnam conflict, Taylor spoke with me in the fall of 1966 when I was looking into producing a documentary on this controversy for CBS News, where I was their National Political Editor. While he did not mention any pilot's name, then U.S. Navy Lieut. Commander John McCain, who was captured a year later, would have been among the group Taylor wanted to prosecute. … Taylor's argument was that their actions were in violation of the Geneva conventions that specifically forbid indiscriminate bombing that could cause incidental loss of civilian life or damage to civilian objects. Adding to the Geneva code, he noted, was the decision at the Nuremberg trials after World War Two: military personnel cannot defend themselves against such a charge with a claim that they were simply following orders. The charge that U.S. pilots also had bombed hospitals and other civilian targets, turned out to be correct and was confirmed by the New York Times ‘ chief foreign correspondent, Harrison Salisbury. In late 1966 Salisbury described the widespread devastation of civilian neighborhoods around Hanoi by American bombs: ‘Bomb damage … extends over an area of probably a mile or so on both sides of the highway … small villages and hamlets along the route [were] almost obliterated'. … In one of his autobiographies McCain wrote that he was going to bomb a power station in ‘a heavily populated part of Hanoi' when he was shot down. … http://dissidentvoice.org/2008/10/us-nuremberg-trials-prosecutor-would-have-proudly-prosecuted-mccain-as-a-war-criminal/

VICTIMS  OF  US  TERRORISM

Know And Punish US War Crimes

By Robert Barsocchini

After Iran overthrew the US-installed terrorist king in 1979, the USA quickly formed an Axis of Evil with some European allies and Saddam Hussein, and waged a war of aggression against Iran, which murdered 1 million Iranian citizens, mainly young people, and 150 thousand Kurds of all ages (tens of thousands of both Iranians and Kurds with horrific chemical weapons), and killed 500 thousand, mainly young, Iraqis, many simply conscripted by Hussein and used as meat targets for the war of aggression.

For this war, the  USA and Europe supplied  the proxy force, led by Hussein, with chemical weapons including mustard and sarin gas.  The USA also supplied Hussein with blueprints for chemical weapons-making plants, and technology for building missiles, warheads and detonators for the chemical weapons.  Once Hussein had made them, the USA used its satellite and spying capabilities to provide Hussein with locations of Iranians so Hussein could gas them, as well as Kurds.  During this, the USA also provided diplomatic cover for the Axis of Evil (itself, Europe, and Hussein) at the United Nations, shifting the focus away from the perpetrators of the crimes.

In 2007, one Dutch businessman,  Frans Van Anraat, was sentenced to 17 year in prison for providing some of the chemicals to Hussein.  He was charged only with complicity in war crimes, not with genocide, because it could not be shown that he knew exactly what Hussein would do with the chemicals. 

This illustrates:

1. All the US business pe ople (including from Kennametal, Latrobe, PA; Scientific Atlanta, Atlanta, GA; Tektronix, Wilsonville, OR) wh o provided Hussein with chemicals, technology, equipment, etc., are guilty of war crimes, and also genocide if it can be shown that they knew what the materials would be used for.
2. All the US government officials involved, which included the Reagan administration, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and members of congress and the CIA, etc., are guilty of both war crimes and genocide, since they approved all 771 shipments to Hussein, and helped him to use the weapons, as the widely publicized  declassified documents show , with wide governmental knowledge and complicity. 

Zero US officials and business-people have been charged.  This is due to the US's power, physical and economic.  

Since crimes like these - war crimes and genocide - go unpunished for the USA, they have continued (see below, and " Rogue State ", by William Blum, for details).  

Immediately after complicity in war crimes and genocide against Iran and the Kurds, the USA used chemical weaponry against Iraq in the Gulf War - bombs and bullets made with radioactive nuclear waste, or "depleted uranium".  This resulted in spikes in cancer rates for Iraqis and US soldiers.  This became known as Gulf War Syndrome, and the US government has done everything it can to deny the effects and accept responsibility for them.  

Soon after that, Bill Clinton used radioactive nuclear waste munitions against Yugoslavia, also devastating the people and environment there. 

Soon after that, George W. Bush used  radioactive nuclear waste  munitions against Afghanistan, devastating people and the environment.   

Soon after that, George W. Bush used  radioactive nuclear waste , white phosphorus, and sarin gas against Iraq again (see "Rogue State"), devastating the people and environment, and bringing rates of cancer and birth defects up to levels higher than those of Hiroshima after the USA nuclear bombed it.

Soon after that, Obama expanded the war of aggression against Afghanistan from 40,000 US troops to over 100,000, and said nothing of the use of  radioactive nuclear waste weapons . 

At the same time, in 2009,  Israel used US-provided white phosphorus  chemical-weapon bombs against civilians in Gaza (see "Rain of Fire", by Human Rights Watch), after which Obama and Congress increased US tax money flowing to Israel by almost three quarters of a billion dollars per year.  Israel had already been the biggest recipient of US tax money (as well as weapons, etc.).  The current level of aid going to Israel is over 3 billion dollars a year, or about 10 million dollars per day.  All aid to Israel is illegal under US and international law. 

The pattern is clear.  When there is no punishment for crimes, when people know they can do pretty much anything and get away with it, they will do just that.  

We need a mass movement in the USA to arrest and prosecute war criminals, so that US politicians and officials have something to be afraid of (namely jail) when they make their decisions.  War crimes, genocide, and the like, would then have definite consequences and be sharply reduced. 

We know theft and murder rates would be much higher if we had no punishments for those crimes.  Crimes committed by the most ambitious/evil people (corporate-backed politicians, government officials) are the same - with no punishment, they continue, often committed repeatedly by the same people, as in the cases of Rumsfeld, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Obama, Hillary Clinton, and others.  If Ted Bundy hadn't been apprehended, he would have kept going, too, albeit on a scale minuscule by comparison to these and other US terrorists and mass murderers. 

For the USA to stop killing and mutating people around the world, there must be consequences for crimes.  Otherwise they go on, as seen.  

The above list of crimes is incomplete, even for the time period it covers.  Before the US/Euro/Iraqi Axis of Evil war of aggression against Iran, the USA used and experimented with chemical weapons and other agents hundreds of times on its own citizens and around the world, without consent.  

The US government will not submit to such measures willingly.  The USA has been found guilty of state terrorism before, for example against Nicaragua, and ordered to pay massive reparations.  The USA simply said no.  For another example, the USA has legislation known as "The Hague Invasion Act", which says that the US must use force to invade the Netherlands and retrieve any US official, and possibly official from an allied foreign government such as Israel, who is brought to the International Criminal Court for trial.

But a mass, non-violent movement could accomplish the goal of charging war criminals.  Everyone knows war crimes and genocide are wrong.  That's not the issue.  The issue is that many people are unaware that these events, such as the US/Euro/Iraqi war of aggression against Iran, even took place.  If they are aware of them, they are likely unaware of US involvement, and if they are aware of that, they are unaware that such acts are serious crimes against humanity.  This is due to the US corporate media's central role in the profitable US agenda of expanding the empire through force.

It may well be true what US war criminals such as  Obama , John Kerry,  Hillary Clinton , and Zbigniew Brzezinski have expressed: that the internet is dealing a fatal blow to the empire, because now people can quickly spread information and easily learn that crimes are crimes.  Many are unhappy that the USA is committing heinous acts repeatedly, without consequences, and destroying millions upon millions of lives.

Let us awaken and go back to our previous war-criminals such as Henry Kissinger, the Bushes, Donald Rumsfeld, and Dick Cheney, arrest them, and arrest our current war criminals, some of whom are listed here, and give them fair trials and prison sentences if they are found guilty by an impartial jury of their peers.     

"All options", as these people say, are not "on the table": the death penalty - premeditated pack murder - is an abomination, which is why virtually every country in the world (about 90%), aside from the US, several of its allies, and a few others, do not use it. 

SHAME  SHAME  Mr.   President   Government of USA

  We  admire  ordinary American  citizens . However we despise American  officials for their  inhuman attiudes , double standards & false ego of  superiority. They  don’t respect  the laws of  other  sovereign nations  , but  expect other countrymen  to  respect  US  laws. Whenever  US  officials serving  in other countries as  US  diplomats  were caught red handed  for crimes  ranging  from drunken driving , vandalism , terrorism , etc  , the  US  government  didn’t  let  the host  countries  to legally prosecute them instead  airlifted  them  back  to  US. Now deceased Mr.Warren  Anderson  former head of  Union Carbide  responsible  for  Bhopal  Gas   Tragedy  was  not  sent  back  to  India  for  legal  prosecution. Mr. David  Headley  master  mind  of  26 / 11  Mumbai  Terrorist  attack  is not  yet  handed over  to  India  for  legal  prosecution ,  why ?

  If  US  thinks  it  can  prosecute  it’s  own  citizens , India  too  can  legally  prosecute  it’s  own  citizen  Ms. Devyani  Khobragade. Immediately  drop charges against her. That  too  charges  against  her  are  not  as  grave  as  against warren  Anderson  &  david headley remember that. How much money , salary   US Embassy officials are paying to their maid servants ? Are they paying as per US Labor laws ?

  You  have  strip  searched  H.E.Honourable  President  of  India Mr.Abdul  Kalam  & Honourable  Defense  Minister  of  India Mr.George  Fernandez  when  on  official  US  visit. You  don’t  practice  diplomacy .  If US  officials , dignitaries  are  strip  searched  when  on  visit  to  India , how  it  will be ? Sad  part  is  our  Indian  Leaders  &  officials  have  selfish  motives , lack  self  esteem & respect  for  motherland  and  have  not  addressed  these  shameful  acts  of  US when  It happened.

   US  government  has  a  guilty  feeling and  suffers  from a  syndrome  of  terrorist  attack  always  because  , it  is  the  father , mother , origin  of  terrorism world over  since  decades. It’s  own  actions will boomerang , it’s  own  illegitimate  terrorist  babies  like  osama bin  laden  will take  care  of  USA. In  time , USA will pay  for  it’s  own  crimes.

   Mr.President  of  USA  We  admire  you  as  an  individual ,  but  as  head  of  US  government  you  must  mend  your  ways. We  hope  saner  sense  will prevail.

http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/judge ,

India, U.S.A , U.K , Pakistan and various other countries
have given birth to & supported various terror outfits, all with the
objective of widening their area of influence, to get hold of
governance of other countries, to loot resources of other countries.
At no time they were bothered about the welfare of innocent people
in those victim countries.

Now, when the Frankenstein monster they fathered TERRORISM
is haunting them , came home to roost in their own backyards , all
these countries are crying foul.

Take for instance Pakistan , it has got enough problems on hand , poverty , unemployment , malnutrition , hunger , illiteracy is rampant in Pakistan. Ordinary Pakistanis are suffering, ordinary Pakistanis does not need neither war nor jihad , what they need is food , healthcare , education for their children.

Take for instance india, it has lot of problems on hand
like starvation, lack of education , health care, etc. The GOI says
it doesn't have enough funds to solve these problems. These problems
are of pre-independece vintage, increasing multifold after
independence of india. Still the government of india spent crores of
rupees on training , arming of tamil terrorists in srilanka ,
unnecessarily poked it's nose in east pakistan creating bangladesh,
created terrorist outfits in punjab & northeast to counter the
influence of other terrorist outfits. ALL THE WHILE PREACHING
PANCHASHEEL PRINCIPLES – peaceful co-existance , respect for
neighbour's boundaries, etc, in the same breath. What ordinary Indians , commonfolk need is food , shelter , healthcare & education.

Take the case of USA , from the beginning since decades , it is the habit of US administrators, britishers   to sow the seeds of discontent between two countries , make them to go to war with each other ( simultaneously selling military hardware worth  billions of dollars to those same countries  by the way making profit in billions ) & to finally play the role of a truce maker thereby  getting a foothold in the newly formed government plus getting reconstruction projects worth billions of dollars leading to profit of billions. Just remember the USinvasion of iraq , citing presence of WMDs, finally nothing was found. However USA  made billions of profit by business.

The common folk  of whichever country , whichever  religion you take , does not want war , everybody wants peace. The common folk need food , shelter , healthcare & education. It is the scheming politicians who go on the path of violence.  POOJYA BAPUJI's  , MAHATMA GANDHIJI's  principles of non violence , non interference in the affairs of other individuals / other countries , love / compassion for fellow human beings is much relevant today.

Hereby, e-Voice  urges the international war crimes tribunal , to
order the respective governments who aided terrorism ,to pay damages
to victim countries. Jai hind. Vande mataram

                                 CRIMES OF U.S PRESIDENT

From the day one the government of  USA  is selfish & violating the rights of other countrymen. During cold war days , to expand it's influence & to give more business for u.s arms manufacturers , the u.s.a sowed the seeds of terrorism in various countries & nurtured them through arms & finance supply , training. The AL-QUEDA & TALIBAN are it's own babies. 
  The president bush of U.S.A was sufferring from low image ratings , the domestic economy was facing a slump , so to improve his own rating & bring more business to u.s industries , he schemed an inhuman ruthless plan. He wanted to take control of afghanisthan & iraq. He needed a ruse to invade them & concocted one murdering his very own countrymen.

  human rights watch has doubted the authenticity of  9/11 in it's articles months ago. it is just a ploy of the bush to  divert attention of public from his dipping ratings , domestic problems  like unemployment , economic lows and more importantly to find rather  fabricate a reason for attacking the arab world , iraq. finally , to  help it's MNCs mint millions in reconstuction , oil contracts, etc. it  is a savage act of bush for green bucks.

 SEPTEMBER 9/11 WAS PLANNED !!!! VISIT  :  http://www.neiu.edu/~ayjamess/hmmm.htm#Main

 The government of U.S.A thrown all international conventions into wind , lied about weapons of destruction in iraq & invaded a sovereign countryiraq. Still , it was unabale to find any weapons of mass destruction in iraq. In it's greed for power , green bucks , it inhumanly tortured prisoners , took them to 3rd countries for torture , bugged phones of u.s citizens & violated human rights of u.s citizens. In his ego , greed mr.bush has violated all human rights of not only u.s citizens but also human rights of innocent iraqis , afghans , etc & thrown all international laws into winds. 
  Now, the president himself has acknowledged the intelligence failure in iraq but defended his iraqi invasion. Mr. Bush will be remebered in the history books as a GREATEST LIAR , INHUMAN SCHEMING  MEGALAMONIAC & GREEDY  OLDMAN.

AN APPEAL TO THE HONOURABLE CHIEF JUSTICE OF SUPREME  COURT OF USA  , CHIEF JUSTICE OF INDIA  &  CHIEF JUSTICE OF PAKISTAN
- By American Citizens


Our country was known as " Heaven On Earth" , "Land of Equality & Equal Oppurtunity" & the "Statue of Liberty" rightly symbolized the spirit of our country. Now USA is known as a "Terror State".


In the last 3 – 4 decades , the persons who occupied the office of President USA ,in their individual capacity took wrong , inhuman decisions , meddled in the internal affairs of other sovereign nations , spent our resources to create terrorist outfits like al-queda , Taliban in those countries.


In turn these terrorist outfits terrorized , murdered millions of innocents & this Frankenstein monster came home to roost on September 9 / 11 . After September 9 / 11 , each terror suspect is severely tortured in hell like Abu Garibh prison , elsewhere by our authorities. For argument sake let us accept
that these terrorists who murder innocents don't deserve kid glove treatment & rightly deserve 3rd degree torture. When a single terrorist deserve such inhuman 3rd degree torture , what quantum of punishment , torture – previous presidents of USA deserve – who created , aided & abetted thousands of such terrorists , terrorist outfits ?


Herby, we appeal to the honourable Supreme Court of USA to order the federal government to to make public :


1. how much US resources were spent from US TREASURY , to finance terrorist outfits , military juntas in other sovereign nations ?


2. is not Al-queda , Taliban creations of USA ?


3. did September 9 / 11 WTC attack truly happened by hijacked airplane or was it planned by US authorities ? see
http://www.neiu.edu/~ayjamess/hmmm.htm#Main


4 . is racial profiling , profiling a particular community & suspecting all the muslims as terror suspects , right?


5. if it is right , the cretors of such terrorist outfits – past presidents of USA – who were Christians makes it logical to assume whole of our Christian community as terror suspect ?


6. is not use of 3rd degree torture on all type of suspects in US prisons & in the prisons of US allied countries at the behest of US authorities , right ? is it not violation of human rights & US laws ?


7. did US find any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq , which was the main reason for US attacking Iraq ?


8. why not US authorities use scientific interrogation techniques like polygraph , lie detector tests instead of inhuman 3rd degree torture on terror suspects & suspects in other criminal cases ?


9 . what legal right our President of USA have , to illegally spend billions of our dollars on inhuman , llegal acts of terrorism , military coup , creation , aiding & abetting of terrorists , etc , in other sovereign nations ? while we are suffering from loss of jobs ,loss of home due to natural calamities , etc ?


Crux , Foundation of all religions is humanity , kindness & universal brotherhood. It is the preachers who misrepresent it. Terrorism created , aided , abetted by anybody is inhuman & wrong . Terrorism is creation of power hungry , selfish people & they must be legally punished .


Hereby , we appeal to the honorable supreme court of USA to legally prosecute Previous PRESIDENTS OF USA in the last 4 decades , for crimes of terror , as per the present US anti-terror laws.



Recently , in the issue of weekly publication  "The Week" , cabinet minister of government of srilanka (previously a deadly terrorist & right hand man of LTTE chief Prabhakaran ) Mr. Karuna , Himself has stated in an interview that LTTE received arms training in Tamilnadu State of India , to wage war against Government of Srilanka. The Justice Jain Commission Of Enquiry , which probed late PM Rajiv Gandhi's assassination case , also stated that Tamil Terrorist outfits in Srilanka Received monetary , financial , arms training support from government of India. GOI has even setup a radio station for tamil terrorists of srilanka , within Indian territory. GOI spent billions of dollars of Indian taxpayer's money for aiding & abetting terrorism , while billions of Indians were half starving & going without a single meal , without proper health care.



Recently  , in a media interview the president of Government of Pakistan Mr. Jardari himself has confessed that in the previous years the government of Pakistan has aided & abetted Terrorism for tactical gains of Pakistan , spending billions of dollars of Pakistani taxpayer's money. While ordinary  Pakistanis were suffering from starvation , lack of health care , etc.



All the above proves that Previous Presidents of Government of USA , previous Presidents of Government of Pakistan & Previous Prime Ministers of Government of India were the real master minds of TERRORISM , founded , aided , abetted TERRORISM FOR THEIR OWN SELFISH GAINS. In turn  Murdering  lakhs of innocent human beings. These guilty previous presidents & prime ministers are deadly than OSAMA BIN LADEN.



Hereby , we appeal to the Honorable Chief Justices of supreme courts of USA , INDIA , PAKISTAN  , BANGLADESH , SRILANKA & INTERNATIONAL WAR CRIMES TRIBUNAL , to legally prosecute the previous Prime Ministers of INDIA , the previous presidents of USA & PAKISTAN , on charges of master minding TERRORISM & murdering innocent people in their respective countries .

Terrorism and Organized Crime in India

By  D Suba Chandran

Organized crime and terrorism result from ineffective governance and have developed a symbiotic relationship; nevertheless, it is essential to differentiate them. Neither are all terrorist acts organized crime, nor are all organized criminal acts terrorism; in most developed countries, organized crime thrives with little or no terrorist activities, and in most developing countries, terrorism exists along with varying levels of organized criminal activity.

The differences between them rest on means and ends. Terrorism aims to overthrow the existing government by altering the status quo. Organized crime, on the other hand aims to form a parallel government while coexisting with the existing one; any change in the status quo is only circumstantial and born out of convenience rather than zealous revisionist policy. Secondly, terrorism primarily uses violent means, whereas organized crime prefers to be non-violent notwithstanding odd resort to belligerence. Third, terrorism is driven purely by political objectives despite exploitation of regional, national and religious sentiments to achieve their ends; conversely, economic objectives are the operational determinants of organized crime.

What are the linkages between terrorism and organized crime and how are they relevant in the Indian context? While organized crime involves many activities, its linkages with terrorism stem from illegal trafficking of drugs, arms and human beings and money laundering. Terrorist groups, whether indigenous or sponsored by outside states, need arms and money for their fight against the security forces. Organized crime conglomerates need a clientele and couriers who can smuggle drugs, arms and human beings across the countries and regions.

In India, the linkages between the two exist at national and transnational levels. At the national level, both terrorists and those involved in organized crime are within India. At the international level, collaboration exists between transnational syndicates and terrorists from inside and outside India.

In India’s northeast, almost all the militant groups run a parallel government or have their areas of influence and are involved in collecting money directly from the people. Much of the government funds reach the militants indirectly due to misgovernance. Government officials in conflict zones are either threatened or bribed to award contracts to individuals patronized by the militant groups. Contracts apart, essential commodities like rice and kerosene reach the militant groups directly which are then sold to the public at much higher prices. This cycle, though unnoticed in other parts of India, is a clear example of the linkage between organized crime and terrorism inside India.

Extortion, kidnap, contracts and black marketing still fall short of financing the nefarious activities of the militants. This is where transnational drugs and arms syndicates come into play. Terrorist organizations in India, especially in the northeast, mobilize funds by becoming couriers of illegal drugs and arms and at times even human beings from one point to another within the country. Some of the infamous entry points from Southeast Asia include Moreh and the entire Chittagong Hill tracts, especially Cox’s Bazaar. Initially, international criminal syndicates had their own network; however, with these routes being taken over by various terrorist groups in the northeastern states, the syndicates started using these groups instead of bribing them to let their consignments get through.

In Kashmir, the linkages between terrorists and organized crime exist at a different level. Unlike the northeast, reliance on funds from extortion and other related means is minimal. There is no parallel government in Kashmir and government resources do not reach militant hands. However, external funds compensate for inadequate internal mobilization. External funds reach the militant organizations fighting in Kashmir thorough various means. For instance, enormous funds that are mobilized in Pakistan and other Muslim countries, especially in the Gulf, are channeled through various organizations in Pakistan to Kashmir. Markaz dawa al Arshad, for example, mobilizes funds from inside and outside Pakistan, to support its militant wing, Lashkar-e-Toiba. Besides, external funds are also routed through select organizations and individuals in Kashmir, which finally reach the militants. Money laundering plays a significant role. Hawala (money laundering) transactions take place swiftly and effectively in Kashmir. Besides, it is also believed that the ISI uses drug money to fund militant activities in Kashmir.

Another significant relationship between organized crime and terrorism, especially in Kashmir, is through the spread of counterfeit currency. Terrorists are the main couriers of Indian counterfeit currency inside Kashmir, which then spreads all over India. Even guides for the militants from across the border are paid with counterfeit money. In fact, when some of the ‘indigenous’ militants were also paid with counterfeits, it resulted in squabble between them and the so-called guest militants.

Besides Kashmir and the northeast, sporadic incidents in other parts of India like the Bombay blasts, for instance, have exposed the connection between terrorism and organized crime. This is distinct from the traditional linkages flourishing between organized crime syndicates and local criminals.

‘Role of Vaiko, Karunanidhi in Rajiv assassination not probed’

The chief investigating officer of the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, K Ragothaman, has alleged that the then DMK leader Vaiko, as a prosecution witness, turned hostile and escaped the charge for perjury at the behest of the former SIT chief D R Karthikeyan.
In his book ‘Conspiracy to kill Rajiv Gandhi – from CBI files’, Ragothaman said that during the investigation more than 500 video cassettes were seized, including a cassette titled ‘In tigers cave’ revealing Vaiko’s clandestine visit to the LTTE area in Jaffna.
“He was speaking vulgarly about Rajiv Gandhi and spitting venom on Rajiv. It is also found that he met Pottu Amman when he was introduced to him by Prabhakaran. Vaiko was not questioned on this. Also, he was made witness to speak about his conversation with Prabhakaran while he was kept in the Ashoka Hotel, prior to signing of Indo-Sri Lanka accord,” Ragothaman wrote.
During the trial, Vaiko refused to admit voice on a video clip of a meeting secured by investigators, in which, he is heard saying that he told Prabhakaran over the intercom in Ashoka Hotel that ‘Rajiv Gandhi stabbed him in the back and the proposed accord was not the solution for achieving Tamil Eelam.’ Soon after the meeting between Prabhakaran and Rajiv Gandhi, on the Indo-Sri Lanka accord, Vaiko had a talk with Prabhakaran on intercom.
Ragothaman has also dragged DMK patriarch Karunanidhi, who abruptly cancelled his meeting at Sriperumbudur on May 21, 1991, to the centre of controversy. Ragothaman wrote, “When I had collected the evidence about the cancellation of the meeting and brought to the notice of the chief of SIT to question the DMK leader on that issue, I was told that part of investigation was done by him and that DGP Rangasamy had requested the DMK leader to cancel the meeting. Also, I was chided by SIT chief asking me not to create such issues as I had done in Rasheed Murder case.”
Speaking to the ‘Express’, Ragothaman said that he opposed Vaiko as witness and told SIT chief that he appears to be a suspect.
“SIT chief Karthikeyan told me there was not sufficient evidence against Vaiko. Also, starting point of our investigation should have been cancellation of Karunanidhi’s trip to Sriperumbudur, but Karthikeyan did not allow probe into it,” Ragothaman said.
Karthikeyan, hailed as one of the most relentless investigators, vehemently refuted the charges authored by his own team member.
“He is flogging the dead horse. No way can anybody question the integrity of an investigation and nothing remains to be done. All the aspects were explored by the 40-member team 20 years ago and SIT had received words of appreciation from two judicial commissions on record. The Supreme Court placed on record appreciation for my leadership,” Karthikeyan told Express.

SDPI demands re-opening of probe into Rajiv Gandhi’s assassination case

Bhopal: The Social Democratic Party of India, (SDPI), has demanded the re-opening of the probe into former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi’s assassination case after 21 years following a sensational disclosure that a crucial video of the assassination was suppressed by the then IB (Intelligence Bureau) Chief and now West Bengal Governor M. K. Narayanan.
SDPI national president Mr. E. Abubacker in a statement said that the allegation is serious. “If there such a video as claimed by the investigating officer, then it warrants another probe. The matter should be looked into,” said, Mr. Abubacker.
Mr. Abubacker said that it is learnt that when news-hounds tracked Mr. Narayanan, who is now in Melbourne on a visit, reportedly avoided direct question but at the same time there was no denial. Narayanan claims all evidence is already present with the investigating agency.
The statement stated that the chief investigating officer of the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, K. Ragothaman in his just-published book, “Conspiracy to kill Rajiv Gandhi – From CBI files”, has claimed that the tape, which had been taken from the videographer by IB the day after Rajiv Gandhi had been blown by Dhanu on May 21, 1991, was never shared with the Special Investigation Team, (SIT), in the investigation of the assassination. In the book Ragothaman said that although a “preliminary enquiry” had been conducted in connection with the missing video, Narayanan had been “allowed to go scot-free” by the SIT chief D. R. Karthikeyan.
Similarly, the statement said that Adv. S. Doraisamy, who pleaded for Nalini, one of those convicted in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, has written a book, claiming to unravel the mysteries and nail the bungling by the SIT chief Karthikeyan. The soon-to-be published book, tentatively titled “Mysteries and Secrets Behind the Rajiv Gandhi Murder”, alleges a larger conspiracy.
SDPI chief wondered that a nation’s leader is assassinated and even that has to be suppressed. “So much for freedom of speech and expression and national security. Dig deeper, you will get to know beyond LTTE in Rajiv’s assassination. There are too many loop holes, convenient decisions taken in finishing Rajiv’s case in order to frame LTTE and put a full stop. Many facts were not properly investigated. Many issues were suppressed, as the book says, by Narayanan and Karthikeyan. Rajiv Gandhi was killed not only by the Lankan Tamils but also allegedly by some Congressmen,” he added.
He pointed out that the alleged manipulation, according to Ragothaman, was meant to erase video evidence of the kind of people Dhanu had interacted with at the venue, thereby sparing embarrassment to the Congress party in the middle of the 1991 Lok Sabha elections. The author asked: Would Narayanan have dared “to damage the goal of the Congress party, irrespective of his personal affiliation to Rajiv Gandhi’s family?” As such Narayanan’s connections are of doubtful nature and can be probed into to unravel the truth.
He said that Adv. Doraisamy, who reportedly in an interview remarked: “I have the evidence to prove that Rajiv Gandhi murder was an inside job. But the SIT headed by then Inspector General of Police Karthikeyan never pushed the investigation in the right direction”, requires a serious attention and should not be wished away.
Mr. Abubacker said that in view of the revelations made in the two books the unpleasant facts should not be swept under the carpet but thoroughly investigated to unmask the real conspirators and the culprits so that the people at large know the faces who eliminated the former Prime Minister for their vested interests.
Following the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi mysterious forces like P. V. Narsimha Rao took the top slot of Indian administration. Since Rao’s era India’s cooperation with Israel has increased manifolds at the cost of struggling Palestinian’s woes. The influence of the United States of America also increased on the Indian administration, he added.

Rajiv Assasination – Unanswered questions

Rajiv Gandhi assasination – leaves many unanswered questions – Unsolved puzzles. For whom did Rajiv Gandhi got assisinated ? Sudhangan raised various questions which didn’t get answers till 2009. Here are those questions that are unanswered:
1) On 21 -May-1991 Rajiv gandhi started from Delhi for election campaign and reached Chennai through the route Orissa and Andra Pradesh. How did he accepted that midnight meeting at Sriperambuthur which was not in the agenda of TamilNadu Congress committe. ?
2) Is there any plan made somewhere to bring Rajiv Gandhi to Sriperambathur some how ?
3) The Security official Mr O.P.Sagar was there with Rajiv Gandhi when he campaigned at Bhubaneshwar and Vishakapattinam. But he didnt come to chennai along with Rajiv. Why ?
4) Bulgarian television journalists came along with Rajiv during his visits to record his campaigns. They were with Rajiv in Orissa and Andha Predesh but didnt come for the next meeting. They stayed in a luxary hotel at Vishakapatinam along with their special flight pilot. In that case why did they came ?
5) When Rajiv was about to start, there was a problem in the flight. So he went back to circuit house from the airport. After the problem in flight got fixed, the chief minister of Andha Pradesh Mr.VijayaBhaskar Reddy informed Rajiv to get back to airport and Rajiv went to airport. During this time the two Bulgerian journalists took the security official Sagar along in their car and arrived at airport late. So the security official could not go along with Rajiv gandhi. Why did such an experienced security official was made not to travel with Rajiv ?
6) The security official of Rajiv at chennai P.C.Gupta was waiting at chennai airport for Rajiv. P.C.Gupts is suppose to get the gun from Sagar who was expected along with Rajiv. Since Sagar has not come along with Rajiv, P.C.Gupta was made to go with Rajiv without gun. Is there any intenton behind this ?
7) When Rajiv started from Meenambakkam, two ladies claiming as journalists got inside his car at Ramavaram. Did their identities verified ? Why did the special investigation branch didnt enquire on them ?
8) Who are the Bulgarian journalists ? Where did they went ?
9) Who are those two lady journalists ? Where did they went ?
10) Those two lady journalists interviewed Rajiv Gandhi. But TamilNadu political party people, Tha. Pandiyan and Maragatham Chandrasekar were telling they didnt know what Rajiv spoke with the journalists. What are the hiding ?
11) Just one hour before his murder, Rajiv told it was CIA that killed the pakistan president Zia-ul-Haq. Why shoud he tell that ? What made him to tell that ? Did he know if there is some plan like that against him ?
12) July-1991 – The central home minister S.P.Chawan made a statement that apart from LTTE there are other international organizations and powerful external forces involved in the background of Rajiv’s murder. Who are they referred here ?
13) Why didn’t the special investination branch enquire on the above home minister’s statement ?
14) During the gulf war India helped fueling US aircrafts. Rajiv gandhi seriously condemmed this help which was done by primie minister Mr Chandrasekar during that time. Why didnt the special investigation branch enquire on CIA’s hands on this murder, as US was not happy with Rajiv for the above reason ?
15) Palestinian National Authority president, Mr. Yasser Arafat informed to the indian prime minister during the time Mr .Chandrasekar that ‘Rajiv Gandhi’s life is under threat’. From where did Arafat got this information ? Who is threatening Rajiv ? Why did special investigation branch didnt enquire on this ?
16) Arafat could have got this information if the assasination was planned at western Europe or middle eastern countries. Why is this not probed ?
17) Maragatham Chandrasekar came to attend that meeting with Rajiv Gandhi. Her daughter, Latha Priyakumar came with her husband and advocate Mahendran from Arakonam. But it was unknown from where did her son Lalith Chandrasekar and his wife Vinothini came from. Though it is known that Vinothini is daughter of Jayavarthane from Sri Lanka, they didn’t enquire on her. Infact they didnt enquire their family who was there at the meeting. why ?
18) Sivarasan’s mother and Vinothini’s father are sinhalas from Sri Lanka who were present at the incident. It is possible that they were sent by Sri Lankan president Premadasa as messangers. Premadasa is not happy with Rajiv on sending the Indian peace keeping force (IPKF) to Sri Lanka. Why was the investigation not done in that angle ? ( Also we should note here a Sinhala Sri Lankan army person hit Rajiv Gandhi with a gun during his visit to Sri Lanka )
19) Both LTTE and Sri Lanka hate Rajiv gandhi as he is the reaon for sending Indian peace keeping force (IPKF) to Sri Lanka. Advocate Mr Chandrasekar challenged special investigation branch that, if they could prove Vinothini and her family are innocent then those who did the crime will accept it on their own. But the special investination didnt accept his challence and not enquired those who is related on this. why ?
20) Kamini Disanayaka, Athulath Muthali, Wickramasinghe are prominant politicians in Sri Lanka. When all those people are murdered president Premadasa was pointed. Why did’t the investigation didnt happen in this angle ?
21) Why dont Sivarasan, Dhanu and Subha did this murder due to pressure from external forces. Just because they are Tamils from yarlpanam, did the investigators linked them with LTTE and closed the case ?
22) What is the strong evidence that links LTTE and its head Prabhakaran to Rajiv’s assasination case. ?
23) What is the proof that Srivarasan spoke to Prabhakaran thro a radio. Why is this not an assumption ?
24) It is very much possible that politicians within the congress could have considered Rajiv Gandhi is blocking their development within the party and could have hired some group to assasinate Rajiv. This motivation cannot be denied.
25) Various international business people specifically those selling weapons would have been in contact with Rajiv as a prime minister. They could have hired the assasinators to do this murder. Did investigators probed this ?
26) What if Sri Lanka did this, thinking India might send the Indian peace keeping force again to their country and didnt like a strong leader emerging from India ?
27) CIA always had interest in erradicating leaders in all third world countries. Did the same kind of interest got applied on Rajiv ?
28) Rajiv Gandhi is the only leader who prevents the other prominant political party in India BJP to get into power. It is possible that the indian parties like BJP and RSS could have used the ‘Hindu favourable’ LTTE and Sri Lankan tamils to do this assasination.
29) When other major Congress party members in Tamilnadu like Vazhapaadi and Moopanar didnt take interest in getting Rajiv to this meeting, Maragatham Chandrasekar traveled to Delhi and forced Rajiv to come for this meeting at Sriperambuthur. Is that without her knowledge she become one reason for Rajiv’s murder ?
30 ) Who is Pottu Amaan ? Is there a person like that ? LTTE says there was a senior person by name Amaan who died war and the only person there is Pottu. How did the special investigation branch stamped someone who is not alive as second criminal in this case ?
31) There are many parallels between the murder of Padmanabha and that of Rajiv Gandhi. Padmanabha’s murder was investigaed by TamilNadu queue branch police and Rajiv Gandhi’s murder was investigated by special investigation branch. Both the investigators are telling the murder was planned at Yarlpanam, Sri Lanka. Sivaraasan was identified as the prime criminal in both the Padmanabha’s case as well as Rajiv’ case. Prabhakaran was considered criminal in Rajiv’s assasination case bur was not in Padmanabha’s case. How come ? It shows adding Prabhakaran’s name came out of political decision rather than that came out from investigations. It is clearly an effort taken by special investigation branch to to give life to their case intentionally.
32) A famous Sri Lankan tamil poet Kasi. Anandan met Rajiv at the airport. What message did he got from Prabhakaran to Rajiv gandhi ? If Prabhakaran seeked Rajiv’s help in the freedom struggle of Tamil Eelam through Kasi Anandan, why would Prabhakaran murder Rajiv Gandhi ?
33) Prabhakaran knows it is from India and TamilNadu that he can get support and sympathy. Did Prabhakaran done such a foollish activity by killing Rajiv, to loose all the support of Indians and also get the organization banned ?
34) Latha Kannan stopped Rajiv and read a poetry for him. That enabled Dhanu, a suside bomber standing next to her, to burst the bomb. Why is her name is not included in the criminals list ? Dhanu used only Latha kannan to get inside. When HariBabu who got killed in the blast got included in the criminal’s list why not Latha Kannan ? Why is special investigation branch showing softness towards congress members ?
35) Before getting to SriPambuthur, Rajiv spoke at two roadside gatherings. Vazhapaadi Ramamurthy, the TamilNadu congress leader was with him in those two places. But at Sri Perambuthur meeting he was standing very far from Rajiv. Why so ?
36) Many innocent people and security personnels died along with Rajiv Gandhi. But nothing happened to any of the congress party members not even minor injury. How ?
37) It was believed that Latha Kumar who brought Sivarasan, Dhanu and Subha to SriPerambuthur. She took them specifically to ladies section and told Latha Kannan to take care of them. But Latha Kumar’s name is not in the criminal’s list. Why ?
38) How can we say Prabhakaran is involved just based on an old photograph of Sivarasan with Prabhakaran ?
39) Why is it not possible that Sivarasan, Dhanu and Subha are expelled from LTTE and they have been hired by western, European, Middle East or India as professional assasinators.
40) Ranganathan confessed that it was based on request by Margret Alva that he gave his house at Bangalore for rent to Sivarasan. Did they enquired how far this is true ?
41) Is there any investigation done on involvement of Chandra Swami, Subramanyam Swamy , Chandrasekar and arms business person Kasoki in this murder ?
42) What kind of benifit LTTE get by murdering Rajiv Gandhi ? Did super powers like US helped them by arms through CIA ?
43) Why do we need CBI & Special Investigation branch which find few people they prefer to get the reports ?
Unless all these confusions are clarified, the real culprit will be hiding behind some powerful forces.

People at the helm are protecting Rajiv murder accused’

Former Central Bureau of Investigation’s former chief investigating officer K Ragothaman has claimed in a recently published book — Conspiracy to kill Rajiv: From CBI files – that a lot of facts pertaining to the former prime minister’s assassination were either suppressed, or were studiously ignored.
Ragothamam writes that there were attempts made to protect the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam from being called the conspirators behind Rajiv’s killing. In this interview with rediff.com’s Vicky Nanjappa, Ragothaman speaks about the conspiracy and the hurdles that were faced in a probe in which many aspects were hushed up.
How has your book been received?
That is too early to tell. It is just out, but is under debate. Let us wait and watch.
You write that Dravida Munetra Kazhagam chief M Karunanidhi’s [ Images ] scheduled public meeting in Sriperumbudur on May 21, 1991, the day Rajiv was killed, was abruptly cancelled.
Karunanidhi was to address a meeting at 6′O clock that evening, two hours before Rajiv’s meeting. The police had made all arrangements. Then there was a telegram from the Anna Arivalyam postal office jurisdiction that the meeting was cancelled.
I probed the sender of that telegram. I was told to ask Karunanidhi about the same. However, I could not investigate him directly. Later, I was told by my superiors that the matter was being looked into, and I should remain quiet.
I was also told that it was a director general of police, Rangaswamy, who had advised that the meeting be cancelled. However, when I looked at the Rangaswamy affidavit, it read that he had ordered as much police force as possible in view of this meeting.
I also attended the Jain commission inquiry in which Karunanidhi was examined. He had said then that it was the then governor, Bhishma Narayan Singh, who had told him to cancel the meeting. Look at the contradictions.
Who according to you was the one who advised cancellation of the Karunanidhi meeting?
Probably it was Marumalarchi Dravida Munetra Kazhagam leader Vaiko who telephoned and sought cancellation of the meeting. The telephone records needed to be examined, but it was never done.
Why do you think Vaiko tried to stop Karunanidhi?
After Rajiv’s assassination, many DMK workers were attacked, their offices burnt. If Karunanidhi had gone there, he would have been in trouble and there would have been an onslaught. Hence, they were trying to protect him.
Does this mean even Karunanidhi was part of the plot?
No, that is not what I meant. Karunanidhi is not a killer. He wanted a democratic solution to the problem and this was never liked by slain LTTE [ Images ] chief Prabhakaran.
You accuse Vaiko of having a hand in this entire issue.
Vaiko was the one who spoke vehemently against the Indo-Jaffna accord. Vaiko said at that time he was first an LTTE, then a Tamilian and then an Indian. At the time of the accord, Prabhakaran was brought down to New Delhi [ Images ] and was put up at the Hotel Ashoka.
Vaiko sought to meet him, but he was not allowed to do so. He conversed with Prabhakaran on the intercom, during which the latter told him, “Anna, this Rajiv has betrayed me. I feel like committing suicide as he is sealing my fate. But I cannot kill myself as I need to fight for my people.”
Vaiko wrote a book later in which he mentions that Prabakaran had thought of committing suicide.
Tell us more, sir…
When Vaiko had gone to Sri Lanka [ Images ], we had secured a videotape titled Inside a Tiger’s Cave which has him on tape. There he spoke everything that was anti-Rajiv. It appeared that he was more against Rajiv than Prabakaran himself. This was also a point noted during our investigation.
Then there is also a meeting in which Vaiko says that Rajiv won’t go back alive from Tamil Nadu. He, however, retracted that statement. During the investigation, we questioned one Chinna who is on death row.
He said that in one of the hideouts, Sivarasan (the prime accused in the assassination) held talks with one Srinivas Ayya and said that after the successful completion of the mission, they should ensure that Vaiko becomes the chief minister of Tamil Nadu.
Why was the evidence not used then?
This is a question that I have been asking. We had so much evidence, but surprisingly Vaiko was roped in as prosecution witness number 250 in the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities court.
During the trial, he denied speaking all of which was on video with Prabhakaran. The video was played out. He claimed that it was him in the video but the voice was not his. It was sent for examination and the voice too was confirmed, but till date there is no perjury case against him.
You have alleged that even the Intelligence Bureau and the Research and Analysis Wing tried to cover up LTTE’s role?
After the assassination, Chandrashekhar, the then prime minister, convened a meeting in which even Janata Party president Subramanian Swamy (then minister of commerce and industry) was present. The then IB chief, MK Narayanan, and RAW boss, GS Bajpai, were also present.
Swamy said that it was obvious that the LTTE was responsible. Bajpai retorted that it was not the LTTE. The meeting was adjourned. Meanwhile, the CBI director had gone to Colombo for the investigation.
They were called back and rushed to Delhi for the meeting. During the meeting, it was again asked why a trip was made to Colombo and did that mean it was preconceived that it was the LTTE which was behind the assassination.
Bajpai once again opposed this. He even quoted one Kittu to be his source. Kittu, incidentally, was Prabhakaran’s right hand man. An LTTE man could never have been a RAW mole and even Dr Swamy had termed this as absurd.
What are your allegations against Narayanan?
A video taken at the meeting on that ill-fated day in which there were images of Dhanu was never made available to the CBI. The assassination team was waiting for nearly two hours in a sterile area. The original video reached Narayanan.
The government had decided to conduct an investigation in this regard and this case was registered with the Special Investigating Team and the CBI. However, it was buried. My question is, why no action has been taken for suppressing evidence.
It was being said that Dhanu had barged into the meeting, but this video clearly shows that they were waiting for a long time. We probed this case risking our own lives and it does upset me that people sitting at the helm of affairs are protecting the accused.
Do you think the loopholes will be rectified now?
Let us see.

Editorial :  Peshawar School  , 26/11 & 9/11 –  LESSONS  to  Power  Mongers

          Our heart grieves for the little ones , kids butchered by  insane   terrorists  at Peshawar school in Pakistan  & we pray for those innocent souls.  What are the lessons  for  PAKISTAN , USA & INDIA ?

          The power mongers  want power   to make money , wield authority  in the guise of public service.  Whether  you take  an ordinary  citizen of Pakistan , Afghanistan , USA  or India  , common man is more concerned about his daily bread , education to his children  rather  than   religious fanaticism or  power.   It is the politicians , bureaucrats , military personnel   who are more concerned about   wielding power   even crossing their boundaries  , ofcourse to make millions of money for themselves  & their corporate cronies. In their lust for power  they  breed terrorists  to dismantle established  governments in other countries. Now the frankenstein  monster  has come home to roost .

           Prosecute the terrorists  , simultaneously prosecute  military personnel , ministers , public servants  who bred those terrorists.  Every country must respect sovereignty  of other contries , must never poke it’s nose in their internal affairs.  USA , India & Pakistan have enough domestic problems to tackle first.

9 / 11 WTC attack , 26 / 11 MUMBAI attack , bomb blasts in Pakistan

Now it is almost a year after 26.11.08  terrorist attacks on Mumbai , sponsored by government of Pakistan. Hereby , we at e-voice pay our deep respects to the martyrs , NSG COMMONDOS , STATE POLICE & OTHERS who sacrificed  their own lives , to protect the lives of  other civilians , their fellow countrymen  , to protect the unity integrity our motherland.

The government of Pakistan is  dillydallying to legally prosecute the 26 / 11 terror master minds even after a year. It is a shame to the government of Pakistan. The GOI is showing restraint & persevering to solve this issue diplomatically & to get extradition of terror masterminds , but misunderstood by  Pakistan. India is capable of military solution , end losers will be Pakistanis & innocent Pakistani citizens will suffer. Hereby , we call on the government of Pakistan to sow the seeds of peace , harmony in the neighborhood rather than seeds of terror , to look after the economic growth of it’s own country , to look after health care , education of it’s own citizens .

Hereby , e-voice urges the GOI to complete the legal prosecution of terrorist kasab , his local supporters if any  as early as possible & to secure the extradition of terror master minds in Pakistan for legal prosecution in India.

India, U.S.A , U.K , Pakistan and various other countries have given birth to & supported various terror outfits, all with the objective of widening their area of influence, to get hold of governance of other countries, to loot resources of other countries. At no time they were bothered about the welfare of innocent people in those victim countries.

Now, when the Frankenstein monster they fathered TERRORISM is haunting them , came home to roost in their own backyards , all these countries are crying foul.

Take for instance Pakistan , it has got enough problems on hand , poverty , unemployment , malnutrition , hunger , illiteracy is rampant in Pakistan. Ordinary Pakistanis are suffering, ordinary Pakistanis does not need neither war nor jihad , what they need is food , healthcare , education for their children.

Take for instance india, it has lot of problems on hand like starvation, lack of education , health care, etc. The GOI says it doesn't have enough funds to solve these problems. These problems are of pre-independece vintage, increasing multifold after independence of india. Still the government of india spent crores of rupees on training , arming of tamil terrorists in srilanka , unnecessarily poked it's nose in east pakistan creating bangladesh,
created terrorist outfits in punjab & northeast to counter the influence of other terrorist outfits. ALL THE WHILE PREACHING PANCHASHEEL PRINCIPLES – peaceful co-existance , respect for neighbour's boundaries, etc, in the same breath. What ordinary Indians , commonfolk need is food , shelter , healthcare & education.

Take the case of USA , from the beginning since decades , it is the habbit of US administrators, britishers   to sow the seeds of discontent between two countries , make them to go to war with each other ( simultaneously selling military hardware worth  billions of dollars to those same countries  by the way making profit in billions ) & to finally play the role of a truce maker thereby  getting a foothold in the newly formed government plus getting reconstruction projects worth billions of dollars leading to profit of billions. Just remember the US invasion of iraq , citing presence of WMDs, finally nothing was found. However USA  made billions of profit by business.

The common folk  of whichever country , whichever  religion you take , does not want war , everybody wants peace. The common folk need food , shelter , healthcare & education. It is the scheming politicians who go on the path of violence.  POOJYA BAPUJI's  , MAHATMA GANDHIJI's  principles of non violence , non interference in the affairs of other individuals / other countries , love / compassion for fellow human beings is much relevant today.

Hereby, e-Voice  urges the international war crimes tribunal , to order the respective governments who aided terrorism ,to pay damages to victim countries.

26/11  - SALUTES TO NSG COMMANDOS & MUMBAI POLICE

Salutes to S. MANJUNATH &  SATYENDRA DUBEY  , WHO STOOD FOR HONESTY , SINCERETY OF DUTY  & FOR UPHOLDING LAW , FINALLY PAYING THEIR OWN LIVES FOR IT.

Nowadays , RTI requests of commoners is not honored by public servants , truthful information is not given . If the common man  persists with his RTI information request , the commoner  himself is fixed in cases with cooked-up charges by corrupt public servants. At all costs the corrupt public servants ensure that truth  does not come into open .

We express our deep condolences to the victims of 26/11/08 mumbai terrorist attacks. We at e-voice  salute our NSG Commondos  & Mumbai police for teaching the external enemies a befitting lesson and protecting our motherland from the external enemies. We pay our whole hearted respects to the martyrs , who laid down their lives , in the course of protecting our people & country from the clutches of terrorists.

At this juncture , we must also remember our kargil  martyrs of Indian military who sacrificed their lives protecting our motherland – INDIA from enemies.

India equally faces greater threat from internal enemies – corrupt public servants ( who are deadlier than pak terrorists). These corrupt public servants sell everything , motherland , for money , for bribe.

Mumbai terrorists killed 200 people , where as a fake drugs manufacturer kills thousands of people by selling fake drugs / fake medicines. Drugs control department officials lets off many such such fake drugs manufacturers , in turn killing thousands of innocents. The number of end victims are huge than any terrorist attacks. This is just one instance , in this way corrupt public servants of various departments compromise with their official duties & murder scores of innocents.

The corrupt public servants network , is oiled far better than italy's mafia. Common man doesn't get justice , even if he complains to higher officials , vigilance authorities or even court of law. As the bribe booty reaches higher-ups & political bosses.. thus black money is created.

The huge profits earned / black money created by criminal industrialists / entrepreneurs  , finds it's way to  money laundering heavens. Thus our economy is crippled ,  public exchequer deprived of it's dues. The money thus laundered feeds terrorist outfits , underworld dons , in their criminal deeds.

Now , underworld / terrorist outfits are involved in huge  real estate business , film production / distribution , film piracy business , etc , to reap more illegal profits out of illegal money. This shakes upside down our government's fiscal policies.

If a corrupt public servant is apprehended , it is equal to depriving 100 terrorists  out of funds , putting 100 criminals out of action. Will the common man raise to give a befitting  lesson to corrupt public servants. Jai hind. Vande mataram.

Your's sincerely,

Nagaraj.M.R.

Why Pakistan faces huge terror attacks

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan is reeling from yet another deadly terror attack, afterterrorists wearing suicide vests rampaged through a police academy+ in the southwestern city of Quetta, battling for four hours before blowing themselves up and leaving more than 60 dead.

The ability of terrorists to breach security and kill with ferocity has confounded the country. Extremists have been carrying out numerous attacks+ for years, killing military personnel, police, school children+ and worshippers+ kneeling in prayer.

One reason is the sheer number and variety of terror groups, some of which have been battling the military in a bid to bring down the government.

Another intertwined reason is the state's complicated relationship with extremists. The powerful military has a history of using some militants to target India, and successive governments have sought to win political support from hard-liners by promoting and cultivating extremist ideologies. Then there is also Pakistan's connection with generations of militants involved in the more than 30 years of constant warfare in neighbouring Afghanistan.

Where it all began

When the Soviet Union Russians invaded Afghanistan in 1979, Pakistan became the staging arena for the mujahideen, or Islamic holy warriors, who fought the Russian occupation in one of the last great Cold War battles.

These holy warriors were backed by the United States, and some even travelled to Washington to meet the then US President Ronald Reagan. Among those who sat with Reagan were militants who later were declared terrorists by the United States, such as Jalaluddin Haqqani, head of the Haqqani network, now one of the most ferocious militant groups in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Washington's ally in the Afghan fight was Pakistan's then-military dictator, Gen Mohammed Zia-ul Haq. Currying the support of hard-liners, Zia turned his relatively liberal country into one ruled according to strict interpretations of Islamic law. Public flogging and other measures were introduced.

Militants and hard-line religious parties were given government support, including hundreds of millions of dollars used to promote their religious agendas. Zia invited Islamic militants to fight in Afghanistan, including Osama Bin Laden+ . The Russians withdrew in 1989 and the proxy government it set up collapsed soon after, with Zia then able to tout holy war as a way to defeat a superpower.

Terror groups

Now a multitude of terror groups are flourishing, championing a variety of causes.

Some have declared war on the Pakistan government and military. Examples are the Pakistani Taliban, or Tehrik-e-Taliban, and breakaway factions like Jamaat-ul-Ahrar. They want to overthrow the government and impose their version of Islamic law across the country. Under pressure from military offensives, the Tehrik has been fragmenting, with dozens of smaller groups breaking away and also carrying out attacks, though on a smaller scale.

Other terror groups, like Lashkar-e-Taiaba and Jaish-e-Mohammed, focus on fighting India. They have no quarrel with the Pakistani army - and often trace their origins to military support - and are based in Punjab, Pakistan's most populous province.

State response

Despite repeated denials, Pakistan's army is still often accused of being selective in which groups it cracks down on. Pakistan's government has devised a National Action Plan aimed at curbing militancy but many complain its implementation has been erratic.

The army has carried out successive campaigns in the tribal regions, destroying weapons, explosive caches and killing militant leaders. Thousands of soldiers have been killed in the fighting. Their targets have been those groups who have openly declared war on Pakistan's military and state.

By comparison, the Afghan Taliban and the Haqqani network are believed to operate relatively freely in Pakistan's border regions to carry out operations in neighboring Afghanistan. The Haqqani group has links to Pakistan's military and intelligence dating back to the 1980s, and it has repeatedly said it has no fight with Pakistan.

Also, the leadership of groups attacking India move freely in Pakistan, including a founder of Lashkar-e-Taiba group, Hafiz Saeed, who has a $10 million US-imposed bounty and is one of India's most wanted men.

The issue has been one of the points of contention in Pakistan's complicated relationship with the United States. Washington gives Pakistan billions in aid and considers it an ally in the war on terror, but often complains Islamabad is not doing enough to get rid of Afghan militants, particularly the Haqqanis.

Sectarian shades

After Iran's Islamic revolution in 1979, competition for influence revved up between majority Shiite Iran and mainly Sunni Saudi Arabia - and that was reflected in Pakistan. Saudi Arabia funded hard-line Sunnis in Pakistan and built religious schools propagating the kingdom's strict Wahhabi sect of Islam.

These schools often encourage discord with Shiite Muslims. Many of Afghanistan's Taliban studied at these schools while they lived in Pakistan as refugees. Saudi Arabia has also been accused of supporting Lashkar-e-Jhangvim which has attacked Shiites.

Iran, meanwhile, has sent money to Shiite Muslim groups, including the Tehrek Nifaz Fiqah-e-Jafaria, which calls for the implementation of Islamic Shariah law.

At this juncture , we must also remember our kargil  martyrs of Indian military who sacrificed their lives protecting our motherland – INDIA from enemies.

India equally faces greater threat from internal enemies – corrupt public servants ( who are deadlier than pak terrorists). These corrupt public servants sell everything , motherland , for money , for bribe.

Mumbai terrorists killed 200 people , where as a fake drugs manufacturer kills thousands of people by selling fake drugs / fake medicines. Drugs control department officials lets off many such such fake drugs manufacturers , in turn killing thousands of innocents. The number of end victims are huge than any terrorist attacks. This is just one instance , in this way corrupt public servants of various departments compromise with their official duties & murder scores of innocents.

The corrupt public servants network , is oiled far better than italy's mafia. Common man doesn't get justice , even if he complains to higher officials , vigilance authorities or even court of law. As the bribe booty reaches higher-ups & political bosses.. thus black money is created.

The huge profits earned / black money created by criminal industrialists / entrepreneurs  , finds it's way to  money laundering heavens. Thus our economy is crippled ,  public exchequer deprived of it's dues. The money thus laundered feeds terrorist outfits , underworld dons , in their criminal deeds.

Now , underworld / terrorist outfits are involved in huge  real estate business , film production / distribution , film piracy business , etc , to reap more illegal profits out of illegal money. This shakes upside down our government's fiscal policies.

If a corrupt public servant is apprehended , it is equal to depriving 100 terrorists  out of funds , putting 100 criminals out of action. Will the common man raise to give a befitting  lesson to corrupt public servants. Jai hind. Vande mataram.

Your's sincerely,

Nagaraj.M.R.

Why Pakistan faces huge terror attacks

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan is reeling from yet another deadly terror attack, afterterrorists wearing suicide vests rampaged through a police academy+ in the southwestern city of Quetta, battling for four hours before blowing themselves up and leaving more than 60 dead.

The ability of terrorists to breach security and kill with ferocity has confounded the country. Extremists have been carrying out numerous attacks+ for years, killing military personnel, police, school children+ and worshippers+ kneeling in prayer.

One reason is the sheer number and variety of terror groups, some of which have been battling the military in a bid to bring down the government.

Another intertwined reason is the state's complicated relationship with extremists. The powerful military has a history of using some militants to target India, and successive governments have sought to win political support from hard-liners by promoting and cultivating extremist ideologies. Then there is also Pakistan's connection with generations of militants involved in the more than 30 years of constant warfare in neighbouring Afghanistan.

Where it all began

When the Soviet Union Russians invaded Afghanistan in 1979, Pakistan became the staging arena for the mujahideen, or Islamic holy warriors, who fought the Russian occupation in one of the last great Cold War battles.

These holy warriors were backed by the United States, and some even travelled to Washington to meet the then US President Ronald Reagan. Among those who sat with Reagan were militants who later were declared terrorists by the United States, such as Jalaluddin Haqqani, head of the Haqqani network, now one of the most ferocious militant groups in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Washington's ally in the Afghan fight was Pakistan's then-military dictator, Gen Mohammed Zia-ul Haq. Currying the support of hard-liners, Zia turned his relatively liberal country into one ruled according to strict interpretations of Islamic law. Public flogging and other measures were introduced.

Militants and hard-line religious parties were given government support, including hundreds of millions of dollars used to promote their religious agendas. Zia invited Islamic militants to fight in Afghanistan, including Osama Bin Laden+ . The Russians withdrew in 1989 and the proxy government it set up collapsed soon after, with Zia then able to tout holy war as a way to defeat a superpower.

Terror groups

Now a multitude of terror groups are flourishing, championing a variety of causes.

Some have declared war on the Pakistan government and military. Examples are the Pakistani Taliban, or Tehrik-e-Taliban, and breakaway factions like Jamaat-ul-Ahrar. They want to overthrow the government and impose their version of Islamic law across the country. Under pressure from military offensives, the Tehrik has been fragmenting, with dozens of smaller groups breaking away and also carrying out attacks, though on a smaller scale.

Other terror groups, like Lashkar-e-Taiaba and Jaish-e-Mohammed, focus on fighting India. They have no quarrel with the Pakistani army - and often trace their origins to military support - and are based in Punjab, Pakistan's most populous province.

State response

Despite repeated denials, Pakistan's army is still often accused of being selective in which groups it cracks down on. Pakistan's government has devised a National Action Plan aimed at curbing militancy but many complain its implementation has been erratic.

The army has carried out successive campaigns in the tribal regions, destroying weapons, explosive caches and killing militant leaders. Thousands of soldiers have been killed in the fighting. Their targets have been those groups who have openly declared war on Pakistan's military and state.

By comparison, the Afghan Taliban and the Haqqani network are believed to operate relatively freely in Pakistan's border regions to carry out operations in neighboring Afghanistan. The Haqqani group has links to Pakistan's military and intelligence dating back to the 1980s, and it has repeatedly said it has no fight with Pakistan.

Also, the leadership of groups attacking India move freely in Pakistan, including a founder of Lashkar-e-Taiba group, Hafiz Saeed, who has a $10 million US-imposed bounty and is one of India's most wanted men.

The issue has been one of the points of contention in Pakistan's complicated relationship with the United States. Washington gives Pakistan billions in aid and considers it an ally in the war on terror, but often complains Islamabad is not doing enough to get rid of Afghan militants, particularly the Haqqanis.

Sectarian shades

After Iran's Islamic revolution in 1979, competition for influence revved up between majority Shiite Iran and mainly Sunni Saudi Arabia - and that was reflected in Pakistan. Saudi Arabia funded hard-line Sunnis in Pakistan and built religious schools propagating the kingdom's strict Wahhabi sect of Islam.

These schools often encourage discord with Shiite Muslims. Many of Afghanistan's Taliban studied at these schools while they lived in Pakistan as refugees. Saudi Arabia has also been accused of supporting Lashkar-e-Jhangvim which has attacked Shiites.

Iran, meanwhile, has sent money to Shiite Muslim groups, including the Tehrek Nifaz Fiqah-e-Jafaria, which calls for the implementation of Islamic Shariah law.

Sri Lanka blames India for Tamil separatist war

Updated: Apr 10, 2013 18:59 IST

Colombo: Sri Lanka Wednesday blamed India for the Tamil separatist war which dragged for 30 years on the island.

The information department quoted Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa as telling the local media that India could never absolve itself of the responsibility for creating terrorism in Sri Lanka.

India's former permanent representative to the UN, Hardeep Singh Puri, called for an investigation into specific allegations of war crimes during the last 100 days of military operations in Sri Lanka.

Rajapaksa, however, said those demanding accountability on Sri Lanka's part for alleged atrocities committed during the last 100 days of the conflict were silent on the origin of terrorism in Sri Lanka.

He said Puri should realise that India's intervention in Sri Lanka had caused a major regional crisis when "Indian-trained Sri Lankan terrorists" raided the Maldives in November 1988.

Rajapaksa said the international community should consider a comprehensive investigation into the issue beginning with the Indian intervention.

The information department quoted the defence secretary as saying that some interested parties were reluctant to acknowledge that Sri Lanka was a much better place today without the Tamil Tigers.

The Sri Lankan military defeated the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in May 2009 after 30 years of war.

According to the South Asia Terrorism Portal, more than 20,000 civilians have been killed in attacks by armed groups in Pakistan between 2003 and 2015. And the December 16 attack on the school in Peshawar wasn't the first to target schoolchildren.Dec 16, 2015

The Sri Lankan Civil War was an armed conflict fought on the island of Sri Lanka. Beginning on 23 July 1983, there was an intermittent insurgency against the government by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (the LTTE, also known as the Tamil Tigers), which fought to create an independent Tamil state called Tamil Eelam in the north and the east of the island. After a 26-year military campaign, the Sri Lankan military defeated the Tamil Tigers in May 2009, bringing the civil war to an end.^[1]

For over 25 years, the war caused significant hardships for the population, environment and the economy of the country, with an initial estimated 80,000–100,000 people killed during its course

 “India abetted terror in Sri Lanka in the mid-1980s”

·         By R. K. RADHAKRISHNAN

Role played by New Delhi needs intensive discussion, says Rajapaksa's Secretary

The Indian intelligence agencies had a big hand in planning and executing terrorist strikes in Colombo in the mid-eighties, the President's Secretary Lalith Weeratunga said. Reading from a book, Gota's War, at its launch here, he said the role India played in Sri Lanka needed “intensive discussion.” He described the events described in the book as “home truths.”

Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa was under intense pressure from India, United Kingdom and France to stop the Eelam War IV in April of 2009.

But “he did not cave in to external pressure,” Mr. Weeratunga has revealed.

Mr. Weeratunga was privy to the meetings. The Indian team, led by its then National Security Adviser M.K. Narayanan, had arrived here in April, just as the Lok Sabha elections were on in India, and just before Tamil Nadu went in to vote. For different reasons, Foreign Ministers of England and France were here too, with the same agenda.

‘Violated sovereignty'

The book launch function, meant to celebrate Defence Secretary and President's brother Gotabaya Rajapaksa's contribution to the war, turned out to be an India-bashing session: India aided and abetted terrorism, and repeatedly violated Sri Lanka's sovereignty. Its High Commissioner during the period dictated terms to Sri Lanka.

“…When the Vadamarachchi operation commenced, the Prime Minister of India at that time, Rajiv Gandhi, issued a strong statement against the operation…Sri Lanka could have been rid of terrorism [at that time, but for the] high-handed interference of the then Indian envoy, Mr. J.N. Dixit,” said Mr. Weeratunga, to an audience that comprised all top elected leaders and officials and diplomats in Sri Lanka, including President Rajapaksa and the Indian High Commissioner Ashok K. Kantha.

Sri Lanka firmly believed that if this operation had gone on, the country could have been rid of terrorism more than two decades ago. Reading from the book, Mr. Weeratunga said: “While the Vadamarachchi operation was on, the Indian Envoy Mr. J.N. Dixit had met President Jayawardene and bluntly told him that India will not stand by idly and allow Jaffna to fall into the hands of the Army, and if the military operation continued, there could be unforeseen consequences. Asked to explain what these ‘unforeseen consequences' could be, Dixit had told Jayawardene that military aid may be given by India to the LTTE leading to the possible dismemberment of Sri Lanka.”

India armed, trained, financially sponsored LTTE terrorists and Sri Lankan Tamil Militants

By  Shenali D Waduge

The Jain Commission confirms so, Dixit confirms it, India’s intelligence does not deny it, memoirs of former officials give details, Tamil Nadu leaders have accepted it and there are enough of affidavits to prove that on the explicit orders of India’s government it applied the replica of the Bangladesh strategy by organizing clandestine training camps in India numbering over 30 bases to train Sri Lankan militants well before 1983 the oft used reason for India’s interference in Sri Lanka. Pretending to maintain cordial relations with Sri Lanka and clandestinely running training camps to train terrorists like LTTE to create mayhem in Sri Lanka while supplying arms to them puts India in no position to be claiming it is a friend of Sri Lanka or even the Tamils. If creating Bangladesh and Sikkim was of national interest to India and not allowing Khalistan and Tamil Nadu Eelam Homeland out of national interest shows India’s cunning.

Were 1980s LTTE killings under India instructions?

The 1983 July riots said to have been caused as a response to the LTTE killing of 13 soldiers remains a very contentious topic even 30 years later. It was the first time that a large number of military personnel had been slaughtered in one go and was a shock to not only the families of the deceased but a shock to the military itself. Aware of its own limitations in military hardware Sri Lanka was unaware that India had not only been training LTTE and other militant groups but had also been arming them and financially supporting them as well. This means that whatever weapons, ammunition and even LTTE targets had to have been with the explicit knowledge and even instructions of India and its intelligence agencies who were handling them.

We cannot also rule out that India’s intelligence agency and these trained militants could have also been part of the mischief of the 1983 riots because in reviewing the rampage and plunder of homes that took place it is totally out of context to conclude that only Sinhalese Buddhists committed these offenses – this is far from the truth which is why we continue to say that the Sinhalese were not part of the July riots as is being portrayed. Why have the Tamils not come forwarded to say that they were protected and kept in the homes of the Sinhalese?

The first batch of Tigers were trained in Establishment 22 based in Chakrata, Uttarakhand, India.

“The second batch, including LTTE intelligence Chief Pottu Amman, was trained in Himachal Pradesh. Velupillai Prabakaran himself visited the first and the second batch of Tamil Tigers to see them training. Eight other batches of LTTE were trained in Tamil Nadu.†The training was imparted by former Indian army personnel who provided Tamil militant youth training in arms handling, swimming, boat driving, handling of light machine guns, handling transport vehicles, guerilla warfare, boat driving and physical training. India cannot claim ignorance or profane insult if we wonder how many of the LTTE atrocities committed on Sri Lankan civilians – bus bombings, slaying of moderate Tamil leaders and politicians, claymore mine attacks, assassinations and even suicide missions may have been designed and instructed by India with LTTE simply carrying out orders? To think that the manner LTTE slaughtered innocent villagers including pregnant mothers and children asleep was planned by India should make India feel ashamed.

In this scenario India cannot blame us for also wondering if the assassination on Mayor Alfred Duraiappah and shooting down of Tamil policemen was also planned and plotted by India. Generally, the initial years the student is always at the mercy of its teacher and we can safely say that the student decided to part ways with India only after the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi in 1991.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMdU4Hm7tkU (Indian Army and RAW train LTTE)

While we hold LTTE responsible for 30 years of brutal killings we can but wonder how many of these initial murders were on the suggestion and planning of India with LTTE and other Tamil militants simply carrying out orders because they were being trained, they were being supplied arms and they were being financed by a country that claims to be Sri Lanka’s friend. It was far later that LTTE learnt the ropes and set up its own clandestine network running ships and other nefarious activities once it became masters of the art which India had taught them.

Therefore if we look back at the LTTE atrocities prior to 1991, Sri Lanka has every right to hold India directly responsible and accountable for the deaths that occurred though even post-1991 for all the suffering that Sri Lanka went through India cannot escape blame and no amount of superfluous statements coming from Indian Premier, its high commissioners or other officials can change the perception of what India has done to Sri Lanka. No amount of diplomatic or PR tamashas can ever change the fact that Sri Lanka does not trust India and will never trust India. A country that clandestinely gathers youth, takes them under their stewardship, trains them, provides arms, financially supports and instructs them to destabilize a nation is a cowardly nation and does not deserve to become a superpower. What national security threat does Sri Lanka a country of 20million people pose to India a country of 1.2billion people? Incidentally, the IPKF operation was known as “Operation Cactus†and it certainly proved a thorn to India with over 1200 Indian soldiers being killed as a result of the very arms India had supplied and the training retired Indian army had taught the LTTE while Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated by a woman who had been raped by the IPKF!
We are ashamed of what India has done. Just as we demand compensation from the colonials who plundered our nation for hundreds of years it is time India compensated for every loss of life that LTTE terrorists committed because LTTE and Prabakaran would not have become as ruthless as they did if not for India’s milking them and instructing them to kill the civilians of its neighboring nation and to destabilize Sri Lanka so that it would be always running to India for assistance.

The RAW and the Ministry of External Affairs are provided Rs 25 crore annually as “discretionary grants” for foreign influence operations.

The US District Court in Baltimore sentenced Lalit H Gadhia, a naturalised US citizen of Indian origin, to three months imprisonment after he confessed to being the conduit between the Indian Embassy and Indian-American organizations that used funds to influence US law makers. Over $46,000 from the Indian Embassy was distributed among 20 Congressional candidates. Gadhia’s source was Devendra Singh, a RAW official assigned to the Indian Embassy in Washington. These funds had been given to Democratic candidates including Sens. Charles S. Robb (D-Va.), Paul S. Sarbanes (D -Md.) and Reps. Benjamin L. Cardin (D-Md.) and Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.) in 1995.

We next wonder how far India is influencing Sri Lanka’s lawmakers and political parties?

India’s premier can make Tamils the masters of their destiny in Tamil Nadu not Sri Lanka

When Prime Minister Manmohan Singh informs Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa that New Delhi will work towards ensuring that Tamils are “masters of their own destiny within framework of a united Sri Lanka.†All we need to say is Jayalalitha is the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, an Indian State. She has no business in Sri Lanka. Yes, the Tamil Nadu Tamils have been demanding for a separate Tamil Homeland in Tamil Nadu far before the same quest took off in Sri Lanka, therefore if India wishes to ensure “Tamils are masters of their own destiny†India must rightly create that scenario in Tamil Nadu and not Sri Lanka as it did in Bangladesh and Sikkim.

Sri Lanka’s leaders need to know the history of the LTTE and India’s role to ensure that India does not have any stake in Sri Lanka and already the large number of stakes given to India must not go beyond a specific term that does not run into hundreds of lease years and with a clause that every deal can be re-scrutinized if Sri Lanka’s national security is ever at risk of Indian incursion. However, our leaders have made grave errors in tying deals with India in areas of communication, power and energy supply, pharmaceuticals, oil refinery, tea and when a country can create mayhem using LTTE have our leaders not thought of what India can do using all the current stakes India has been given?

If we blame previous leaders for the folly that the current leadership has to suffer the same criteria applies so that future leaders will not have to suffer another Indian terrorist chapter of a different and far more dangerous capacity.

 US President Obama - A Deadly Criminal 

What lies behind Pakistani charges of Indian 'terrorism'

By M Ilyas KhanBBC News, Islamabad

Why would Pakistan's army accuse Indian intelligence of "whipping up terrorism" in Pakistan?

The accusation levelled at India's Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) came in a  statement issued by the army's media wing. There was no mention of any specific incident, but privately military officials have been blaming India for involvement in a separatist insurgency in Pakistan's south-western province of Balochistan.

Many say it is probably the first time a Pakistani authority outside political or diplomatic spheres has publicly named an Indian institution in this manner.

They see this assertiveness as a sign of the Pakistani army's growing willingness to be seen to be dictating the country's foreign and national security policies.

It comes as the army tries to face the triple threat of the Pakistani Taliban, Baloch insurgents and a complicated mix of urban crime, ethnic, linguistic, religious, sectarian and political rivalries in the country's biggest city, Karachi.

It also indicates a toughening of Pakistan's position against India at a time when the Pakistani army is emerging as one of the chief guarantors of peace in Afghanistan, in partnership with China.

Any failure to deliver on this score is likely to weaken Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, an apparent ally of Pakistan, and strengthen pro-India forces in Kabul.

Conversely, any arm-twisting by the military to force the Afghan Taliban to the dialogue table may antagonise them and thereby deprive Islamabad of a proxy to check the spread of Indian influence in Afghanistan.

Pakistan has long accused India of fuelling insurgency in Balochistan. Officials say Indian spies are operating through a network of Indian missions dotting southern and eastern Afghanistan, where most Baloch insurgents are also based.

The military believes India also has involvement in Karachi, Pakistan's largest and most volatile city. This suggestion comes from a recent claim by a senior police officer - believed to be the mouthpiece of the military - that RAW helped a Karachi-based party.

Observers say the Pakistani army has been soft-pedalling in the fight against the Afghan Taliban as well as anti-India militant groups based in Pakistan, but it has come down hard on Baloch insurgents and political activists.

Over the years, hundreds of Baloch activists have gone missing, most of them turning up dead on the streets or across the vast wilderness of the province. Locals blame all these disappearances and killings on the army and its surrogate groups, a charge the army denies.

More recently, however, it has moved more openly to curb movement and debate by Baloch rights activists.

In March, authorities at Karachi airport stopped three Baloch activists from proceeding to New York to participate in a seminar on human rights violations in Balochistan and Sindh province.

One of them was Mama Qadeer, a 70-year-old Baloch rights activist who shot to fame when he walked 3,000km (1,860 miles) from Quetta to Islamabad last year to protest over killings in Balochistan.

In April, two men introducing themselves as ISI operatives handed a written "order" to the management of Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), asking it to cancel a talk which featured Mama Qadeer.

While LUMS gave in, on 25 April a similar talk went ahead at The Second Floor (T2F), a tea house-cum-book store in Karachi, despite what some activists claim were "warnings" not to hold the event.

Within an hour, the moderator of that talk and head of T2F, Sabeen Mehmud, 40, was shot dead by unknown gunmen while driving home in her car.

The incident sparked protests across the country, with civil society groups and several newspaper columnists accusing the ISI directly or more subtly for the murder.

The pressure grew so much that the army had to issue a separate statement condemning Ms Mehmud's murder, apparently to distance itself from the incident.

Many believe the army's latest statement about RAW may be equally meant to deflect this wave of public criticism.

Terrorist Sponsors: Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, China

By Ted Galen Carpenter

The United States has assembled a superficially impressive international coalition against the threat of terrorism. Many countries in that coalition, however, contribute little of significance to the fight. Even worse, the willingness of some members of the coalition to actually combat terrorism is doubtful. Indeed, given their record, some of those countries appear to be part of the problem, not part of the solution. That concern is especially acute with respect to Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and China.

Saudi Arabia enlisted in the fight against terrorism only in response to intense pressure from the United States following the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Even then, its cooperation has been minimal and grudging. For example, Riyadh has resisted Washington’s requests to use its bases in Saudi Arabia for military operations against Osama bin Laden’s terrorist facilities in Afghanistan.

Even that belated, tepid participation is an improvement on Saudi Arabia’s previous conduct. The U.S. government has warned that it will treat regimes that harbor or assist terrorist organizations the same way that it treats the organizations themselves. Yet if Washington is serious about that policy, it ought to regard Saudi Arabia as a prime sponsor of international terrorism. Indeed, that country should have been included for years on the U.S. State Department’s annual list of governments guilty of sponsoring terrorism.

The Saudi government has been the principal financial backer of Afghanistan’ s odious Taliban movement since at least 1996. It has also channeled funds to Hamas and other groups that have committed terrorist acts in Israel and other portions of the Middle East.

Worst of all, the Saudi monarchy has funded dubious schools and “charities” throughout the Islamic world. Those organizations have been hotbeds of anti-Western, and especially, anti-American, indoctrination. The schools, for example, not only indoctrinate students in a virulent and extreme form of Islam, but also teach them to hate secular Western values.

They are also taught that the United States is the center of infidel power in the world and is the enemy of Islam. Graduates of those schools are frequently recruits for Bin Laden’s Al-Qaeda terror network as well as other extremist groups.

Pakistan’s guilt is nearly as great as Saudi Arabia’s. Without the active support of the government in Islamabad, it is doubtful whether the Taliban could ever have come to power in Afghanistan. Pakistani authorities helped fund the militia and equip it with military hardware during the mid-1990s when the Taliban was merely one of several competing factions in Afghanistan’s civil war. Only when the United States exerted enormous diplomatic pressure after the Sept. 11 attacks did Islamabad begin to sever its political and financial ties with the Taliban. Even now it is not certain that key members of Pakistan’s intelligence service have repudiated their Taliban clients.

Afghanistan is not the only place where Pakistani leaders have flirted with terrorist clients. Pakistan has also assisted rebel forces in Kashmir even though those groups have committed terrorist acts against civilians. And it should be noted that a disproportionate number of the extremist madrasas schools funded by the Saudis operate in Pakistan.

China’s offenses have been milder and more indirect than those of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. Nevertheless, Beijing’s actions raise serious questions about whether its professed commitment to the campaign against international terrorism is genuine. For years, China has exported sensitive military technology to countries that have been sponsors of terrorism. Recipients of such sales include Iran, Iraq and Syria.

Even though Chinese leaders now say that they support the U.S.-led effort against terrorism, there is no evidence that Beijing is prepared to end its inappropriate exports. At the recent APEC summit, China’s President Jiang Zemin was notably noncommittal when President Bush sought such a commitment. Whenever the United States has brought up the exports issue, Chinese officials have sought to link a cutoff to a similar cutoff of U.S. military sales to Taiwan — something that is unacceptable to Washington.

It is time for China, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia to prove by their deeds, not just their words, that they are serious about contributing to the campaign against international terrorism. In China’s case, that means ending all militarily relevant exports to regimes that have sponsored terrorism. In the cases of Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, it means defunding terrorist organizations and the extremist “schools” that provide them with recruits. It also means severing ties with such terrorist movements as the Taliban and the Kashmiri insurgents. The world is watching the actions of all three countries.

Don’t hate Pakistanis, but Pakistan-sponsored terrorism: Rajnath Singh

Union home minister Rajnath Singh takes a dig at Pakistan-sponsored terrorism, says those who rear snakes should know they would bite them

New Delhi: Keeping up the attack on Pakistan and cross-border terrorism, Union home minister Rajnath Singh on Monday said that Pakistan should close down its “factory of terrorism” for the sake of peace and development in South Asia.

“Pakistan’s entire establishment is engaged in fuelling terrorism in India and that’s why, the management of areas along the India-Pakistan border has become a challenging task. But those who rear snakes should know they would bite them,” said Singh, who was speaking at a conference of regional editors from north and north-eastern states in New Delhi.

Singh, however, made it clear that the Indian government bore no ill will against the people of Pakistan and its fight was only against cross-border terrorism sponsored by the Pakistani state.

Referring to the recent cross-border surgical strikes against terror launch pads across the Line of Control the Union minister said that the strike was only a pre-emptive action against Pakistani-sponsored terrorism and not an attack against the people of Pakistan.

“We do not hate people of Pakistan. We hate Pakistan-sponsored terrorism only,” he said.

Singh went on to say that India was ready to help Pakistan fight terrorism in its own soil. The minister, though, said Pakistan’s intentions vis-à-vis terrorism remained “unclear”.

The home minister, during his address, also elaborated on India’s plans to completely seal its borders with Pakistan as recently announced by the government. Singh revealed that in areas where a physical barrier was not feasible due to geographic constraints, technology solutions, including cameras, sensors, radars, lasers, etc, will be deployed.

Terming India’s borders as “friendly, active and strategic”, Singh said that New Delhi has been engaging all its neighbours except Pakistan diplomatically to ensure peace on the borders.

“Because of development work, transgression incidents at China border have also come down drastically,” Singh claimed.

Islamabad: India funding terror in Pakistan

By   B. MURALIDHAR REDDY

Claims "open evidences are available" on New Delhi's involvement with subversive activities in that country.

Hours after Prime Minister Narendra Modi indirectly hit out at Pakistan at the 14th ASEAN-India Summit in Vientiane (Laos) on Thursday, Islamabad launched a counter-offensive saying “India is financing terrorism in Pakistan and open evidences are available on its involvement in subversive activities”.

In a report datelined Islamabad, the Pakistan state run news agency-Associated Press of Pakistan (APP) quoted Foreign Office spokesperson Nafees Zakaria as saying at his weekly briefing that “one single nation” was spreading terrorism in South Asia ... India was in fact that single nation.”

Repeats Modi verbatim

The Pakistan Foreign Office Spokesperson repeated the exact words of Mr. Modi at the G20 Summit in China. External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Vikas Swarup in a series of tweets on Modi at G20 on September 5 had said, “Terrorist is a terrorist” PM:1 single nation in http://S.Asia  is spreading agents of terror in our region.. ‘Isolate & sanction supporters of terrorism’ PM: Urge int’l community to act in unity & respond against terrorism.”

Islamabad and New Delhi have been engaged in verbal exchanges since the alleged encounter death of ‘Hizb-ul poster boy’ Burhan Wani on July 8 in Anantnag, which triggered unrest in the Kashmir valley.

After PM raised Baloch rights issue

It got worse after Mr. Modi weaved into his Independence Day speech from the ramparts of the Red Fort issues related to Pak-occupied Kashmir and Gilgit and alleged human rights violations by the Pakistani forces in the Balochistan Province.

An APP report said, “When asked if Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will raise the issue of Kalbhushan Yadav at the upcoming UN General Assembly session, the spokesman said: “The issue of Indian involvement would definitely be highlighted…because of its direct links with incidents of terrorism in Pakistan.”

‘Pak nuke assets safe’

Separately Pakistan Foreign Secretary Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry has at a conference in Islamabad asserted that Pakistan’s nuclear assets are safe from terrorists.

Radio Pakistan quoted him as saying that he advised the international community, particularly the United States, to shun discriminatory practices in the context of nuclear and defence ties as it jeopardised the stability of whole region. 

‘Rights violations in Kashmir’

On Wednesday the Pakistan Prime Minister's Special Envoy on Kashmir Awais Leghari briefed the ‘international community’ in Geneva on the alleged human rights violations by the India in Kashmir.

Mr. Leghari is one of the 22 members of Parliament nominated by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on August 27 to travel to different world capitals to lobby for the ‘Kashmir cause.’

“Pakistan can write as many letters as they want to the United Nations but this will not change the fact that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India,” Mr. Vikas Swarup said at his last weekly briefing in New Delhi.

The ultimate objective of these foreign powers is to take you on the path of self destruction, destruction of your motherland & to finally usurp the power, to subjugate you into slavery in turn looting the resources of your country. 

Ofcourse, in India there is rampant corruption. Still democracy is live & kicking in India, it is the best form of governance. You have got real examples of countries in Africa, latin America, wherein the countries have secured independence through separatist / terrorist movements. The terrorist leaders themselves have become prime minister / president of newly independent countries. Now, they are more corrupt & barbaric than their predecessors . even after getting independence, the lives of commonfolk has become bad to worse. By independence , only leaders have benefited. Will you lead another struggle ? this is endless, as the selfishness , greed of leaders knows no bounds. 

In the past, government of India aided tamil separatists, Pakistan terrorists, etc, butchering innocents. The government of U.S.A aided terrorists in Africa, afghanisthan, latin America , murdering innocents. Various countries have aided terrorism while preaching peace. These barbaric acts were motivated by selfish, corrupt, ego-centric leaders. Now, in the bomeerang effects of their actions, innocents are dying in bomb blasts, etc. 

Violence breds violence. Peace & compassion results in all round harmony, prosperity. Every human being must struggle against injustices in a peaceful & legal manner. The struggle must be against the corrupt system, for that peaceful struggle democracy is the best forum. Don't be pawns in the hands of foreign powers, politicians. They are not at all interested in your welfare, well being. At the end, it is the leaders who become ministers & amass wealth through corruption. The common folk like you will remain as fiddlings, minions forever. 

Just imagine yourselves in the place of victims of delhi serial bomb blasts (29/10/2005) or Mumbai blasts of 26/11/08 . just imagine the plight of little child MOSHE who has lost both his parents , imagine Your mother & wife are crying, your children are dead , your father's hands & limbs are ripped apart in the blast. How does it feel to be one ? no religion, no god asks it's followers to cause destruction. All religions, gods are full of eternal love & compassion. Let that god shine his light, upon you all on the violent path. 



Whether it is in india or else where , democratic system is best form of governance. The people in those countries suffer due to corrupt public servants . in all such cases , the legal , non violent fight must be against the corrupt people , corrupt police , corrupt judges , CORRUPT public servants but not against the system itself.

Let us build ram rajya of mahatma's dream through non violent means within the existing democratic framework . Jai Hind. Vande Mataram. 



Your’s sincerely, 

Nagaraj.M.R. 



America Must Prosecute it's own War Criminals




"US Wars Meant to Maintain Unjust Predatory Overseas Investments! Look across the seas and see individual capitalists of the West investing huge sums of money in Asia, Africa, and South America, only to take the profits out with no concern for the social betterment of the country. This is a role our nation has taken, … refusing to give up the privileges and the pleasures that comes from the immense profits of overseas investments. This is not just. " Martin Luther King Jr.
SOONER or LATER, HUMANITY WILL REASSERT ITSELF and punish the PATHETIC MASS- MURDERING THIEVES, WHO NOW PARADE and POSE AS RIGHTFUL RULERS of the EARTH.

The General Treaty for the Renunciation of War, The World Peace Act, previously The Kellogg-Briand Pact, became part of the US Constitution (as did Article 6 and 7 of the Nuremberg Principles twenty-two years later), upon being approved by the US Senate 85-1 and reads:

"The High Contracting Parties solemnly declare in the names of their respective peoples that they condemn recourse to war for the solution of international controversies, and renounce it, as an instrument of national policy in their relations with one another.


The High Contracting Parties agree that the settlement or solution of all disputes or conflicts of whatever nature or of whatever origin they may be, which may arise among them, shall never be sought except by pacific means."
After negotiations, the pact was signed in Paris at the French Foreign Ministry by the representatives from Australia, Belgium, Canada, Czechoslovakia, France, Germany, India, the Irish Free State, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Poland, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States. It was proclaimed to go into effect on July 24, 1929. By that date, the following nations had deposited instruments of definitive adherence to the pact: Afghanistan, Albania, Austria, Bulgaria, China, Cuba, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Egypt, Estonia, Ethiopia, Finland, Guatemala, Hungary, Iceland, Latvia, Liberia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Nicaragua, Norway, Panama, Peru, Portugal, Romania, the Soviet Union, the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, Siam, Spain, Sweden, and Turkey. Eight further states joined after that date: Persia, Greece, Honduras, Chile, Luxembourg, Danzig, Costa Rica and Venezuela.

The 1928 World Peace Act was concluded outside the League of Nations, and remains a binding treaty under international law. In the United States, it remains in force as federal law(see U.S. Const. art. VI). One month following its conclusion, a similar agreement, General Act for the Pacific Settlement of International Disputes, was concluded in Geneva, whichobliged its signatory parties to establish conciliation commissions and an arbitration tribunal in any case of dispute, and the opportunity to take failed disputes to the Permanent Court of International Justice.
Article VI Clause 2 of the US Constitution states that "[A]ll Treaties made, under the Authority of the United State, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding." 



A recent week-end national conference of antiwar organizations saw the introduction of the following prescient resolution by a Korean war veteran, long a member of Veterans For Peace:
"whereas Martin Luther King Jr. finding no court willing to prosecute racist crimes, successfully led their prosecution in the court of public opinion; 

- whereas Mahatma Gandhi finding no court would prosecute the crimes of the British Empire, successfully led their prosecution in the court of public opinion; 

- and whereas the people of Iran finding their courts unwilling to prosecute the crimes of the Shah, successfully led their peoples prosecution in the court of public opinion; 

- be it resolved that law-abiding Americans, finding that US courts will not bring the force of common law, statutory law, Constitutional law and Nuremberg Principles law down upon perpetrators of illegal wars on poor people in colonially impoverished nations, that we citizens of all walks of life will seek to lead prosecution of these illegal and homicidal wars in the court of public opinion to punish these crimes against humanity and prevent them from further happening until our courts can do so."

2. KOREA

THE CRIMES AMERICA HAS PERPETRATED ON KOREA STARTED WHEN WALL STREET INTERESTS CONVINCED PRESIDENT TEDDY ROOSEVELT TO CLOSE OFF ALL DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS WITH KOREA AND DEAL WITH THE JAPANESES OCCUPYING MILITARY. WOODROW WILSON SIGNED THE DOCUMENT THAT RECOGNIZED KOREA AS JAPANESE TERRITORY MAKING THE US COMPLICIT IN A BRUTAL 40 YEAR JAPANESE OCCUPATION OF KOREA.

DURING WW II, US ARMED FORCES DID NOT LIBERATE KOREA, HAVING DEFEATED THE JAPANESE ELSEWHERE. BY AN ARRANGEMENT IN WHICH KOREAN HAD NO SAY, AMERICAN AND RUSSIAN ARMIES ENTERED A KOREA, WHICH HAD ALREADY HAD A NASCENT POLITICAL SYSTEM IN PLACE. KOREA WAS DIVIDED IN TWO NEW OCCUPYING ARMIES.

SINGMAN RHEE WAS BROUGHT IN FROM WASHINGTON AND BY AMERICAN OVERSEEN INSTIGATED FOUL PLAY BECAME THE PRESIDENT OF THE AMERICAN ZONE GOVERNMENT. IN THE NEXT THREE YEARS HIS POLICE AND SPECIAL SERVICES MASSACRED AROUND 200,000 UNIONIST, SOCIALISTS AND COMMUNISTS ALONG WITH MANY OF THEIR WIVES AND CHILDREN. NOW FULLY DOCUMENTED BY A SOUTH KOREAN GOVERNMENT CREATED RECONCILIATION COMMISSION. UN LOW ESTIMATE OF THE 1948 MASSACRES ON CHEJU ISLAND OFF THE SOUTHERNMOST COAST AT MINIMUM 30,000.

THE BODO LEAGUE MASSACRE (HANGUL: 보도연맹 사건; HANJA: 保導聯盟事件) WAS A MASSACRE AND WAR CRIME AGAINST COMMUNISTS AND SUSPECTED SYMPATHIZERS THAT OCCURRED IN THE SUMMER OF 1950 DURING THE KOREAN WAR. ESTIMATES OF THE DEATH TOLL VARY. ACCORDING TO PROF. KIM DONG-CHOON, COMMISSIONER OF THE TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION COMMISSION, AT LEAST 100,000 PEOPLE WERE EXECUTED ON SUSPICION OF SUPPORTING COMMUNISM;[2][DEAD LINK] OTHERS ESTIMATE 200,000 KILLINGS.[1] THE MASSACRE WAS WRONGLY BLAMED ON THE COMMUNISTS FOR DECADES.[3]
HTTP://EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG/WIKI/BODO_LEAGUE_MASSACRE

IN 1950, THE ARMY OF THE NORTHERN GOVERNMENT INVADED AND SWEPT OVER ALL OF SOUTH KOREA EXCEPT FOR PUSAN, WHERE AMERICANS WERE IN FORCE AND ESTABLISHED A PERIMETER. THE ARMY OF THE SOUTHERN GOVERNMENT MOSTLY DEFECTED OR JUST WENT HOME. KOREA WAS AGAIN UNITED. THE US AND ITS ALLIES EVEN UNDER UN APPROBATION AND FLAG DURING THE NEXT FEW YEARS BOMBED EVERY CITY AND TOWN IN NORTH AND SOUTH KOREA AND 3 MILLION KOREANS PERISHED, ALONG WITH A HALF MILLION CHINESE WHO IN THE END CAME TO THE NORTH KOREAN AID AND PUSHED THE US FORCES BACK OUT OF THE NORTH.

KOREA WAS AGAIN DIVIDED. SINGMAN RHEE WAS SO DESPISED, AFTER THE AMERICAN WAR WAS OVER, HE HAD TO FLEE FOR HIS LIFE. AFTER THREE DECADES OF MILITARY DICTATORSHIPS A CIVILIAN GOVERNMENT WAS ELECTED.

ANY KOREAN WILL TELL YOU THERE IS ONLY ONE KOREAN NATION.THE US DIVIDED IT AFTER SUPPORTING JAPANESE CONQUERORS FOR 40 YEARS. WHEN KOREAN UNITED THEIR NATION AGAIN WHAT WAS CALLED THE 'FREE WORLD,' PREVIOUSLY THE COLONIAL POWERS, AND NOW 'THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY OF NATION LED BY US-NATO, SAW FIT TO BRING DEATH DESTRUCTION TO THE WHOLE PENINSULA IN A 'GOOD WAR' AGAINST COMMUNISM WITH HAILS OF FLYING METAL FLATTENING ALMOST EVERY CITY AND TOWN NORTH AND SOUTH CAUSING THE VIOLENT DEATH OF THREE MILLION SOULS.

AFTER HAVING BEEN THREATENED WITH THE ATOM BOMB, THE CONTINUING SIXTY YEARS OF STRANGLING TIGHT INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC SANCTIONS AND ANTI-COMMUNIST PROPAGANDA BY THE FREE WORLD'S MEDIA, NORTH KOREA HAS BECOME THE MOST MILITARILY PREPARED POPULATION ON EARTH, WHILE THE SUPERPOWER REGULARLY PRACTICES WAR EXERCISES IN THE OCEAN WITHIN EAR SHOT OF ITS INLAND CAPITAL.

PRESIDENT TRUMAN, US OFFICIALS THAT PROSECUTED THE WAR ON KOREA, THE UN SECURITY COUNCIL, AND HEADS OF STATES COLLABORATING IN THE KILLINGS AND DESTRUCTION LED BY THE AMERICAN ARMED FORCES SHALL BE TRIED POSTHUMOUSLY FOR THE GOOD OF ALL CONCERNED.

3. VIETNAM

MARTIN LUTHER KING JR, "THE VIETNAMESE PEOPLE PROCLAIMED THEIR OWN INDEPENDENCE IN 1945 AFTER A COMBINED FRENCH AND JAPANESE OCCUPATION WHICH THEY FOUGHT AS AMERICAN ALLIES. THIS PROCLAMATION OF INDEPENDENCE CAME BEFORE THE COMMUNIST REVOLUTION IN CHINA. THEY WERE LED BY HO CHI MIN [WHO HAD BEEN DECORATED BY THE US]. EVEN THOUGH THEY QUOTED THE AMERICAN DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE IN THEIR OWN DOCUMENT OF FREEDOM, WE REFUSED TO RECOGNIZE THEM. INSTEAD, WE DECIDED TO SUPPORT FRANCE IN ITS RECONQUEST OF HER FORMER COLONY. OUR GOVERNMENT FELT THEN THAT THE VIETNAMESE PEOPLE WERE NOT READY FOR INDEPENDENCE, AND WE AGAIN FELL VICTIM TO THE DEADLY WESTERN ARROGANCE THAT HAS POISONED THE INTERNATIONAL ATMOSPHERE FOR SO LONG. WITH THAT TRAGIC DECISION WE REJECTED A REVOLUTIONARY GOVERNMENT SEEKING SELF-DETERMINATION AND A GOVERNMENT THAT HAD BEEN ESTABLISHED NOT BY CHINA -- FOR WHOM THE VIETNAMESE HAVE NO GREAT LOVE -- BUT BY CLEARLY INDIGENOUS FORCES THAT INCLUDED SOME COMMUNISTS. FOR THE PEASANTS THIS NEW GOVERNMENT MEANT REAL LAND REFORM, ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT NEEDS IN THEIR LIVES.

FOR NINE YEARS FOLLOWING 1945 WE DENIED THE PEOPLE OF VIETNAM THE RIGHT OF INDEPENDENCE. FOR NINE YEARS WE VIGOROUSLY SUPPORTED THE FRENCH IN THEIR ABORTIVE EFFORT TO RECOLONIZE VIETNAM. BEFORE THE END OF THE WAR WE WERE MEETING EIGHTY PERCENT OF THE FRENCH WAR COSTS. EVEN BEFORE THE FRENCH WERE DEFEATED AT DIEN BIEN PHU, THEY BEGAN TO DESPAIR OF THEIR RECKLESS ACTION, BUT WE DID NOT. WE ENCOURAGED THEM WITH OUR HUGE FINANCIAL AND MILITARY SUPPLIES TO CONTINUE THE WAR EVEN AFTER THEY HAD LOST THE WILL. SOON WE WOULD BE PAYING ALMOST THE FULL COSTS OF THIS TRAGIC ATTEMPT AT RECOLONIZATION.

AFTER THE FRENCH WERE DEFEATED, IT LOOKED AS IF INDEPENDENCE AND LAND REFORM WOULD COME AGAIN THROUGH THE GENEVA AGREEMENT. BUT INSTEAD THERE CAME THE UNITED STATES, DETERMINED THAT HO SHOULD NOT UNIFY THE TEMPORARILY DIVIDED NATION, AND THE PEASANTS WATCHED AGAIN AS WE SUPPORTED ONE OF THE MOST VICIOUS MODERN DICTATORS, OUR CHOSEN MAN, PREMIER DIEM. THE PEASANTS WATCHED AND CRINGED AS DIEM RUTHLESSLY ROOTED OUT ALL OPPOSITION, SUPPORTED THEIR EXTORTIONIST LANDLORDS, AND REFUSED EVEN TO DISCUSS REUNIFICATION WITH THE NORTH. THE PEASANTS WATCHED AS ALL THIS WAS PRESIDED OVER BY UNITED STATES' INFLUENCE AND THEN BY INCREASING NUMBERS OF UNITED STATES TROOPS WHO CAME TO HELP QUELL THE INSURGENCY THAT DIEM'S METHODS HAD AROUSED. WHEN DIEM WAS OVERTHROWN THEY MAY HAVE BEEN HAPPY, BUT THE LONG LINE OF MILITARY DICTATORS SEEMED TO OFFER NO REAL CHANGE, ESPECIALLY IN TERMS OF THEIR NEED FOR LAND AND PEACE.

THE ONLY CHANGE CAME FROM AMERICA, AS WE INCREASED OUR TROOP COMMITMENTS IN SUPPORT OF GOVERNMENTS WHICH WERE SINGULARLY CORRUPT, INEPT, AND WITHOUT POPULAR SUPPORT. ALL THE WHILE THE PEOPLE READ OUR LEAFLETS AND RECEIVED THE REGULAR PROMISES OF PEACE AND DEMOCRACY AND LAND REFORM. NOW THEY LANGUISH UNDER OUR BOMBS AND CONSIDER US, NOT THEIR FELLOW VIETNAMESE, THE REAL ENEMY. THEY MOVE SADLY AND APATHETICALLY AS WE HERD THEM OFF THE LAND OF THEIR FATHERS INTO CONCENTRATION CAMPS WHERE MINIMAL SOCIAL NEEDS ARE RARELY MET. THEY KNOW THEY MUST MOVE ON OR BE DESTROYED BY OUR BOMBS.

SO THEY GO, PRIMARILY WOMEN AND CHILDREN AND THE AGED. THEY WATCH AS WE POISON THEIR WATER, AS WE KILL A MILLION ACRES OF THEIR CROPS. THEY MUST WEEP AS THE BULLDOZERS ROAR THROUGH THEIR AREAS PREPARING TO DESTROY THE PRECIOUS TREES. THEY WANDER INTO THE HOSPITALS WITH AT LEAST TWENTY CASUALTIES FROM AMERICAN FIREPOWER FOR ONE VIETCONG-INFLICTED INJURY. SO FAR WE MAY HAVE KILLED A MILLION OF THEM, MOSTLY CHILDREN. THEY WANDER INTO THE TOWNS AND SEE THOUSANDS OF THE CHILDREN, HOMELESS, WITHOUT CLOTHES, RUNNING IN PACKS ON THE STREETS LIKE ANIMALS. THEY SEE THE CHILDREN DEGRADED BY OUR SOLDIERS AS THEY BEG FOR FOOD. THEY SEE THE CHILDREN SELLING THEIR SISTERS TO OUR SOLDIERS, SOLICITING FOR THEIR MOTHERS.

WHAT DO THE PEASANTS THINK AS WE ALLY OURSELVES WITH THE LANDLORDS AND AS WE REFUSE TO PUT ANY ACTION INTO OUR MANY WORDS CONCERNING LAND REFORM? WHAT DO THEY THINK AS WE TEST OUT OUR LATEST WEAPONS ON THEM, JUST AS THE GERMANS TESTED OUT NEW MEDICINE AND NEW TORTURES IN THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS OF EUROPE? WHERE ARE THE ROOTS OF THE INDEPENDENT VIETNAM WE CLAIM TO BE BUILDING? IS IT AMONG THESE VOICELESS ONES?

WE HAVE DESTROYED THEIR TWO MOST CHERISHED INSTITUTIONS: THE FAMILY AND THE VILLAGE. WE HAVE DESTROYED THEIR LAND AND THEIR CROPS. WE HAVE COOPERATED IN THE CRUSHING -- IN THE CRUSHING OF THE NATION'S ONLY NON-COMMUNIST REVOLUTIONARY POLITICAL FORCE, THE UNIFIED BUDDHIST CHURCH. WE HAVE SUPPORTED THE ENEMIES OF THE PEASANTS OF SAIGON. WE HAVE CORRUPTED THEIR WOMEN AND CHILDREN AND KILLED THEIR MEN.

WHO ARE WE SUPPORTING IN VIETNAM? IT'S A MAN BY THE NAME OF GENERAL KY WHO FOUGHT WITH THE FRENCH AGAINST HIS OWN PEOPLE, WHO SAID THE GREATEST HERO OF HIS LIFE IS HITLER. OH, OUR GOVERNMENT AND THE PRESS GENERALLY WON'T TELL US THESE THINGS, BUT GOD TOLD ME TO TELL YOU "

[REV. KING WAS ASSASSINATED IN SPRING OF 1968. THEREFORE THIS SITE'S COORDINATOR, ARCHIVAL RESEARCH PEOPLES HISTORIAN JAY JANSON, PICKS UP THE STORY OF US CRIMES IN VIETNAM HERE:]

AFTER A FAKED STORY OF N. VIETNAMESE LITTLE TORPEDO BOATS THREATENING US DESTROYERS OFF THE COAST, CONGRESS HAD PASSED THE GULF OF TONKIN RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE BOMBING OF NORTH VIETNAM. THIS BRUTAL BOMBING TOOK THOUSANDS OF LIVES OF ORDINARY VILLAGERS AND CIVILIANS IN CITIES AND WENT ON WITH OFF AND ON FEROCITY UNTIL THE US WITHDRAWAL. BETWEEN MARCH 1965 AND NOVEMBER 1968, "ROLLING THUNDER" DELUGED THE NORTH WITH A MILLION TONS OF MISSILES, ROCKETS AND BOMBS. AT ONE POINT FORMER CHIEF PROSECUTOR OF THE NUREMBERG TRIALS IN NAZI GERMANY STATED HE WOULD HAVE BEEN GLAD TO PROSECUTE THE CAPTURED SHOT DOWN AMERICAN FLYER AS WAR CRIMINALS, BUT THE INTERVIEW WAS HUSHED UP BY CBS. THE US CALLING FOR THE FREE WORLD TO PROTECT ITSELF FROM COMMUNISM DROPPED IN ALL MORE TWICE AS MUCH TONNAGE OF BOMBS ON THIS TINY RICE-GROWING INDEPENDENCE SEEKING FRENCH COLONY AS WAS DROPPED DURING ALL OF WW II IN EUROPE AND ASIA.

MEANWHILE THE SOUTHERN FREEDOM FIGHTERS ATTACKING THE OCCUPYING AMERICAN ARMED FORCES AS GUERRILLAS SECRETLY SUPPORTED BY THE POPULATION HAD GROWN FROM 5,000 IN THE 1959 REBELLION AGAINST THE AMERICAN DICTATOR DIEM TO WELL OVER AROUND 150,000 AT THE TIME KING WAS MURDERED. PRESSURED BY WASHINGTON, ITS SEATO ALLIES AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA, THAILAND, AND THE PHILIPPINES CONTRIBUTED TROOPS. A COUPLE OF MONTHS BEFORE KING WAS SHOT CAME A HUGE SURPRISE OFFENSIVE IN 100 CITIES AND TOWNS ACROSS SOUTH VIETNAM, THE CAPTURE FOR A TIME OF THE IMPERIAL CITY OF HUẾ, COMMAND HEADQUARTERS AND THE AMERICAN EMBASSY IN SAIGON. PRES. JOHNSON HALTED THE BOMBING OF THE NORTH AND AFTER THE LARGEST DEMONSTRATIONS IN D.C. ANNOUNCED HE WOULD NOT RUN FOR REELECTION.

NIXON ALTERNATELY PURSUED NEGOTIATIONS AND HEAVIER BOMBINGS THAN BEFORE. NIXON BEGAN TO PURSUE DÉTENTE WITH THE SOVIET UNION AND RAPPROCHEMENT WITH THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA. BUT NIXON WAS DISAPPOINTED THAT THE PRC AND THE SOVIET UNION CONTINUED TO SUPPLY THE NORTH VIETNAMESE WITH AID. IN SEPTEMBER 1969, HO CHI MINH DIED AT AGE SEVENTY-NINE.

THE ANTI-WAR MOVEMENT WAS GAINING STRENGTH IN THE UNITED STATES. NIXON APPEALED TO THE "SILENT MAJORITY" OF AMERICANS TO SUPPORT THE WAR. BUT REVELATIONS OF THE MY LAI MASSACRE, IN WHICH A U.S. ARMY PLATOON RAPED AND KILLED CIVILIANS, AND THE 1969 "GREEN BERET AFFAIR" WHERE EIGHT SPECIAL FORCES SOLDIERS, INCLUDING THE 5TH SPECIAL FORCES GROUP COMMANDER WERE ARRESTED FOR THE MURDER[189] OF A SUSPECTED DOUBLE AGENT[190] PROVOKED NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL OUTRAGE.
THE CIVILIAN COST OF THE WAR WAS AGAIN QUESTIONED WHEN U.S. FORCES CONCLUDED OPERATION SPEEDY EXPRESS WITH A CLAIMED BODYCOUNT OF 10,889 COMMUNIST GUERRILLAS WITH ONLY 40 U.S. LOSSES; KEVIN BUCKLEY WRITING IN NEWSWEEK ESTIMATED THAT PERHAPS 5,000 OF THE VIETNAMESE DEAD WERE CIVILIANS.

[WHEN THE US WAR CRIMINALS INVOLVED ARE POSTHUMOUSLY PROSECUTED THE LIST WILL BE ENORMOUS AND INCLUDE HUNDREDS OF MEDIA CELEBRITIES, EVEN THOUSANDS OF OTHERS, SOME HIGH CLERGY LIKE CARDINAL SPELLMAN OF NEW YORK AND OFFICIALS OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH OF US SATELLITE GOVERNMENTS WHO ORDER THEIR NATIONALS INTO VIETNAM TO KILL AND DESTROY.]

"AND SO, SUCH THOUGHTS TAKE US BEYOND VIETNAM, BUT NOT BEYOND OUR CALLING AS SONS OF THE LIVING GOD.

DURING THE PAST TEN YEARS, WE HAVE SEEN EMERGE A PATTERN OF SUPPRESSION WHICH HAS NOW JUSTIFIED THE PRESENCE OF U.S. MILITARY ADVISORS IN VENEZUELA. THIS NEED TO MAINTAIN SOCIAL STABILITY FOR OUR INVESTMENTS ACCOUNTS FOR THE COUNTERREVOLUTIONARY ACTION OF AMERICAN FORCES IN GUATEMALA.

4. LAOS




THE GUARDIAN, UK REPORTED THAT LAOS WAS HIT BY AN AVERAGE OF ONE B-52 BOMBLOAD EVERY EIGHT MINUTES, 24 HOURS A DAY, BETWEEN 1964 AND 1973. US BOMBERS DROPPED MORE ORDNANCE ON LAOS IN THIS PERIOD THAN WAS DROPPED DURING THE WHOLE OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR. OF THE 260 MILLION BOMBS THAT RAINED DOWN, PARTICULARLY ON XIANGKHOUANG PROVINCE ON THE PLAIN OF JARS, SOME 80 MILLION FAILED TO EXPLODE, LEAVING A DEADLY LEGACY.[16] LAOS IS THE MOST HEAVILY-BOMBED COUNTRY, PER CAPITA, IN THE WORLD. BECAUSE IT WAS PARTICULARLY HEAVILY AFFECTED BY CLUSTER BOMBS DURING THIS WAR, LAOS WAS A STRONG ADVOCATE OF THECONVENTION ON CLUSTER MUNITIONS TO BAN THE WEAPONS AND ASSIST VICTIMS, AND HOSTED THE FIRST MEETING OF STATES PARTIES TO THE CONVENTION IN NOVEMBER 2010.(THE US HAS CONSISTENTLY OPPOSED THE BAN.)

IN 1975, WITH THE WITHDRAWAL OF THE MASSIVE US ARMY, NAVY AND AIR FORCE FORM VIETNAM AND CAMBODIA AND LAOS AS WELL, THE PATHET LAO, A INTELLECTUAL MARXIST NATIONALIST INDEPENDENCE MOVEMENT BORN TO FIGHT AGAINST THE US BACKED FRENCH RESTORATION OF BRUTAL COLONIALISM IN 1949 THAT HAD BRAVELY WITHSTOOD ALL THE INEXPRESSIVELY HORRIFIC US BOMBINGS, BECAME THE GOVERNMENT OF ALL LAOS.

FOLLOWING A BRIEF JAPANESE OCCUPATION DURING WORLD WAR II, THE COUNTRY HAD DECLARED ITS INDEPENDENCE IN 1945, BUT THE FRENCH UNDER CHARLES DE GAULLE HAD RE-ASSERTED CONTROL. IN 1950 LAOS WAS GRANTED SEMI-AUTONOMY AS AN "ASSOCIATED STATE" WITHIN THE FRENCH UNION.

UNDER A SPECIAL EXEMPTION TO THE GENEVA CONVENTION, A FRENCH MILITARY TRAINING MISSION CONTINUED TO SUPPORT THE FRENCH ORGANIZEDROYAL LAO ARMY.

AMERICA'S MILITARY LEADER DURING THE WW II, LOOKED UPON AS FAIR-MINDED ORDERED THE BEGINNING OF THIS HISTORIC CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY OF BOMBING A TINY AGRICULTURAL COLONIAL POPULATION MERCILESSLY, COMMENTING THAT RETAINING CONTROL OF LAOS WAS THE KEY TO RETAINING CONTROL OF ALL SOUTH-EAST ASIA.

5. CAMBODIA




CARPET BOMBING IS A LARGE AERIAL BOMBING DONE IN A PROGRESSIVE MANNER TO INFLICT DAMAGE IN EVERY PART OF A SELECTED AREA OF LAND.[1][2][3] THE PHRASE EVOKES THE IMAGE OF EXPLOSIONS COMPLETELY COVERING AN AREA, IN THE SAME WAY THAT A CARPET COVERS A FLOOR. CARPET BOMBING IS USUALLY ACHIEVED BY DROPPING MANYUNGUIDED BOMBS.




[FRONTLINE, PBS] HENRY KISSINGER PEACE MAKER OR WAR CRIMINAL

ON MARCH 18, 1969, AMERICAN B-52S BEGAN CARPET-BOMBING EASTERN CAMBODIA. "OPERATION BREAKFAST" WAS THE FIRST COURSE IN A FOUR-YEAR BOMBING CAMPAIGN THAT DREW CAMBODIA HEADLONG INTO THE VIETNAM WAR. THE NIXON ADMINISTRATION KEPT THE BOMBINGS SECRET FROM CONGRESS FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, INSISTING THEY WERE DIRECTED AGAINST LEGITIMATE VIETNAMESE AND KHMER ROUGE TARGETS. HOWEVER, THE RAIDS EXACTED AN ENORMOUS COST FROM THE CAMBODIAN PEOPLE: THE US DROPPED 540,000 TONS OF BOMBS , KILLING ANYWHERE FROM 150,000 TO 500,000 CIVILIANS.






“EXTENSIVE AIR FORCE DATA ON ALL AMERICAN BOMBINGS OF INDOCHINA BETWEEN 1964 AND 1975 REGARDING CAMBODIA IN PARTICULAR A FOLLOWS:




FROM OCTOBER 4, 1965, TO AUGUST 15, 1973, THE UNITED STATES DROPPED FAR MORE ORDNANCE ON CAMBODIA THAN WAS PREVIOUSLY BELIEVED: 2,756,941 TONS' WORTH, DROPPED IN 230,516 SORTIES ON 113,716 SITES. OVER 10 PERCENT OF THIS BOMBING WAS INDISCRIMINATE, WITH 3,580 OF THE SITES LISTED AS HAVING "UNKNOWN" TARGETS AND ANOTHER 8,238 SITES HAVING NO TARGET LISTED AT ALL THE TOTAL PAYLOAD DROPPED DURING THESE YEARS TO BE NEARLY FIVE TIMES GREATER THAN THE GENERALLY ACCEPTED FIGURE. TO PUT THE REVISED TOTAL OF 2,756,941 TONS INTO PERSPECTIVE, THE ALLIES DROPPED JUST OVER 2 MILLION TONS OF BOMBS DURING ALL OF WORLD WAR II,[CAMBODIA VIES WITH LAOS AS THE MOST HEAVILY BOMBED COUNTRY IN HISTORY.] THE BOMBING DROVE ORDINARY CAMBODIANS INTO THE ARMS OF THE KHMER ROUGE, A GROUP THAT SEEMED INITIALLY TO HAVE SLIM PROSPECTS OF REVOLUTIONARY SUCCESS.[*]




NIXON HAD COMMANDED THAT, "THEY [THE USAF] HAVE GOT TO GO IN THERE AND I MEAN REALLY GO IN . . . I WANT EVERYTHING THAT CAN FLY TO GO IN THERE AND CRACK THE HELL OUT OF THEM. THERE IS NO LIMITATION ON MILEAGE AND THERE IS NO LIMITATION ON BUDGET. IS THAT CLEAR?"[*] TAYLOR OWEN AND YALE'S BEN KIERNAN CLAIM THAT, "PREVIOUSLY, IT WAS ESTIMATED THAT BETWEEN 50,000 AND 150,000 CAMBODIAN CIVILIANS WERE KILLED BY THE BOMBING, BUR THE DATABASE REVEALED FIVEFOLD INCREASE IN TONNAGE,” WHICH WOULD BRING THE NUMBER OF CASUALTIES TO HAVE BEEN BETWEEN 250,000 AND 750,000. [*]




AS THE VIETNAM WAR ENDED, A DRAFT USAID REPORT OBSERVED THAT THE COUNTRY FACED FAMINE IN 1975, WITH 75% OF ITS DRAFT ANIMALS DESTROYED, AND THAT RICE PLANTING FOR THE NEXT HARVEST WOULD HAVE TO BE DONE "BY THE HARD LABOUR OF SERIOUSLY MALNOURISHED PEOPLE". THE REPORT PREDICTED THAT




"WITHOUT LARGE-SCALE EXTERNAL FOOD AND EQUIPMENT ASSISTANCE THERE WILL BE WIDESPREAD STARVATION BETWEEN NOW AND NEXT FEBRUARY ... SLAVE LABOUR AND STARVATION RATIONS FOR HALF THE NATION'S PEOPLE (PROBABLY HEAVIEST AMONG THOSE WHO SUPPORTED THE REPUBLIC) WILL BE A CRUEL NECESSITY FOR THIS YEAR, AND GENERAL DEPRIVATION AND SUFFERING WILL STRETCH OVER THE NEXT TWO OR THREE YEARS BEFORE CAMBODIA CAN GET BACK TO RICE SELF-SUFFICIENCY" [ SHAWCROSS, WILLIAM (1987).SIDESHOW: KISSINGER, NIXON AND THE DESTRUCTION OF CAMBODIA,: TOUCHSTONE. OVERVIEW:

ALTHOUGH THERE ARE MANY BOOKS AND FILMS DEALING WITH THE VIETNAM WAR, SIDESHOW TELLS THE TRUTH ABOUT AMERICA'S SECRET AND ILLEGAL WAR WITH CAMBODIA FROM 1969 TO 1973. WILLIAM SHAWCROSS INTERVIEWED HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE OF ALL NATIONALITIES, INCLUDING CABINET MINISTERS, MILITARY MEN, AND CIVIL SERVANTS, AND EXTENSIVELY RESEARCHED U.S. GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS. THIS FULL-SCALE INVESTIGATION—WITH MATERIAL NEW TO THIS EDITION—EXPOSES HOW KISSINGER AND NIXON TREATED CAMBODIA AS A SIDESHOW. ALTHOUGH THE PRESIDENT AND HIS ASSISTANT CLAIMED THAT A SECRET BOMBING CAMPAIGN IN CAMBODIA WAS NECESSARY TO ELIMINATE NORTH VIETNAMESE SOLDIERS WHO WERE ATTACKING AMERICAN TROOPS ACROSS THE BORDER, SHAWCROSS MAINTAINS THAT THE BOMBINGS ONLY SPREAD THE CONFLICT ]

[LOOKING BACK], AS THE VIETNAM WAR HAD PROGRESSED, SIHANOUK HAD ADOPTED AN OFFICIAL POLICY OF NEUTRALITY IN THE COLD WAR, ALTHOUGH HE WAS WIDELY CONSIDERED TO BE SYMPATHETIC TO THE CAUSE OF THE HO CHI MINH LED VIETNAMESE FIGHTING US AND FRENCH IMPERIALISM. SIHANOUK ALLOWED THE WESTERN LABELED

VIETCONG TO USE CAMBODIA AS A SANCTUARY AND A SUPPLY ROUTE FOR THEIR ARMS AND OTHER AID TO THEIR ARMED FORCES FIGHTING IN SOUTH VIETNAM. POSSIBLE FOR THIS POLICY BEING PERCEIVED A HUMILIATING BY MANY CAMBODIANS REMEMBERING EARLIER VIET/THAI DOMINATION OF CAMBODIA, IN DECEMBER 1967 WASHINGTON POST JOURNALIST STANLEY KARNOW HAD BEEN TOLD BY SIHANOUK THAT IF THE US WANTED TO BOMB THE VIETNAMESE COMMUNIST SANCTUARIES, HE WOULD NOT OBJECT, UNLESS CAMBODIANS WERE KILLED.[30] THE SAME MESSAGE WAS CONVEYED TO US PRESIDENT JOHNSON'S EMISSARY CHESTER BOWLES IN JANUARY 1968.[31] SO HIS BALANCING ACT, THE US HAD HAD NO REAL MOTIVATION TO OVERTHROW SIHANOUK YET. HOWEVER MEMBERS OF THE GOVERNMENT AND ARMY, WHO RESENTED SIHANOUK'S RULING STYLE AS WELL AS HIS TILT AWAY FROM THE UNITED STATES, DID HAVE SUCH A MOTIVATION. BUT WHEN IT BECAME CONVENIENT FOR THE CIA, WHILE VISITING BEIJING IN 1970 SIHANOUK WAS OUSTED BY A MILITARY COUP LED BY PRIME MINISTER GENERAL LON NOL AND PRINCE SISOWATHSIRIK MATAK. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF ANY US ROLE IN THE COUP. HOWEVER ONCE THE COUP WAS COMPLETED THE NEW REGIME, WHICH IMMEDIATELY DEMANDED THAT THE VIETNAMESE COMMUNISTS LEAVE CAMBODIA, GAINED THE POLITICAL SUPPORT OF THE UNITED STATES. THE NORTH VIETNAMESE AND VIET CONG FORCES, DESPERATE TO RETAIN THEIR SANCTUARIES AND SUPPLY LINES FROM NORTH VIETNAM, IMMEDIATELY CAME UNDER ARMED ATTACKS ON THE NEW GOVERNMENT. THE KING URGED HIS FOLLOWERS TO HELP IN OVERTHROWING THIS GOVERNMENT, HASTENING THE ONSET OF CIVIL WAR, THAT LASTED FROM 1970 UNTIL EARLY 1972, WITH THE KHMER ROUGEREBELS HAVING THE OUSTED KING'S SUPPORT. HOWEVER FROM 1970 UNTIL EARLY 1972 THE CAMBODIAN CONFLICT WAS LARGELY ONE BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENT AND ARMY OF CAMBODIA, AND THE ARMED FORCES OF NORTH VIETNAM. AS THEY GAINED CONTROL OF CAMBODIAN TERRITORY THE VIETNAMESE COMMUNISTS IMPOSED A NEW POLITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE, WHICH WAS EVENTUALLY DOMINATED BY THE CAMBODIAN COMMUNISTS WE NOW REFER TO AS THE KHMER ROUGE.[33] SO THE VIETNAMESE COMMUNISTS PLAYED A VITAL ROLE IN THE RISE OF THE KHMER ROUGE.

7. LIBYA





THERE WAS NO LIBYAN PEACEFUL PROTEST,
JUST MURDEROUS GANGS AND NIC ROBERTSON

BY JAY JANSON

16 JUNE, 2011
COUNTERCURRENTS.ORG

NIC ROBERTSON AND ANDERSON COOPER ARE SURELY AWARE OF THEIR ACHIEVEMENT IN PROMOTING THE HUMAN CARNAGE OF CIVIL WAR AND THE DESTRUCTION OF A BEAUTIFULLY WELL-KEPT AND PROSPEROUS NATION, THE 53RD HIGHEST DEVELOPED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD WITH FREE HEALTH CARE AND EDUCATION. A STANDARD OF LIVING THAT WAS HIGHER THAN NINE EUROPEAN NATIONS, INCLUDING RUSSIA, IS NO MORE, THANKS TO THEIR HAVING DAILY LED OUR ENTERTAINMENT WITH THEIR WAR MONGERING OF PURPOSELY DISTORTED REPORTING, MISREPORTING, DISINFORMATION, AND BLACKING OUT OF INFORMATION THAT WOULD HAVE MADE THIS MASSIVE LOSS OF HUMAN LIFE IMPOSSIBLE. THEY'LL NOT BE ABLE TO WASH THIS OFF THEIR CONSCIENCE.

1. THERE WERE NO PEACEFUL PROTESTS!

2. CNN, COVERING THE DANISH CARTOONS ANNIVERSARY DEMONSTRATION THAT WAS COOPED WITH AN ANNOUNCEMENT FROM LONDON TO MAKE IT INTO A "DAY OF RAGE AGAINST LIBYAN LEADER GADDAFI,' SHOWED US CAMERA PANNING OF A MODEST SIZE CROWD (MOSTLY MEN) JUMPING UP AND DOWN SHOUTING AGAINST GADDAFI (NOT AGAINST LIBYA'S HIGH STANDARD OF LIVING).

3. THERE WERE ARMED ATTACKS ON POLICE STATIONS (EVEN TRAFFIC POLICE) AND VICIOUS ATTACKS ON CHINESE AND KOREA CONSTRUCTION WORKERS ALREADY TWO DAYS BEFORE, AND DURING THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE DANISH CARTOONS OR "DAY OF RAGE,' EXECUTIONS OF 50 CAPTURED LIBYAN SOLDIERS, ONE BEHEADED, SOME HUNG ALONG WITH POLICE OFFICERS. AND WHO KNOWS HOW MANY ORDINARY LIBYAN CIVILIANS HARMED BY TOUGH GUYS BROUGHT IN TO BENGHAZI AND OTHER CYRENAICAN TOWNS. THIS WAS REPORTED BY REUTERS AND BBC, BUT NOT CNN.

4. CNN SHOWED A VIDEO OF A SMALL AMOUNT OF PEOPLE SCATTERING, RUNNING AT TWILIGHT, CELL PHONE CAMERA JERKING AROUND IN CONFUSION WITH THE SOUND OF SHOOTING FROM COMPLETELY UNIDENTIFIED SOURCES. THERE WAS ANDERSON COOPER AND NIC ROBERTSON CRYING OUT THAT "GADDAFI', WAS "TARGETING, SHOOTING, BOMBING HIS OWN PEOPLE WHO ONLY WANT DEMOCRACY. AT THE SAME TIME A FLOOD OF ANTI GADDAFI REPORTS WERE COMING IN FROM WELL FUNDED LIBYAN EXILE BACKERS IN VARIOUS COUNTRIES.

5. IMAGINE! ON FEB. 21 A BARE FOUR DAYS AFTER THE OVERSEAS CALLS FOR "DAY OF RAGE' U.S. MEDIA'S UK COUNTERPART, THE TELEGRAPH REPORTED THAT " THE INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION FOR HUMAN RIGHTS SAID LIBYA'S SECOND CITY ALONG WITH SIRTE, TOBRUK, MISRATA, KHOMS, TARHOUNAH, ZENTEN, AL-ZAWIYA AND ZOUARA HAD ALL BEEN TAKEN BY PROTESTERS. "PROTESTERS?" WE WERE GIVEN TO SEE THESE TOUGH HOMBRE HEAVILY ARMED "FREEDOM FIGHTERS' IN THEIR FLEETS OF PICKUP TRUCKS LOOKING NOTHING AT ALL LIKE PROTESTERS.

6. WHILE, VERY QUICKLY, HEAVILY ARMED INSURGENT GANGS, ALWAYS DESCRIBED AS "ORDINARY CITIZENS WHO HAD DROPPED THEIR OFFICE JOBS A FEW DAYS BEFORE TO FIGHT FOR FREEDOM,' WERE EFFICIENTLY OVERRUNNING TOWNS AND AIRPORTS, COOPER AND ROBERTSON KEPT EXCITEDLY EXCLAIMING CITIES WERE BEING BOMBED FROM THE AIR - CIVILIANS TARGETED - SHOWING VIEWERS THE SAME SINGLE BOMB CRATER IN A FIELD OUTSIDE OF A TOWN FOR FIVE DAYS RUNNING AS PROOF, THOUGH ODDLY ADMITTING NO ONE HAD BEEN INJURED.

7. CNN AND NY TIMES HAVE NEVER REPORTED THAT LIBYA, AS OPPOSED TO DESPERATELY POOR EGYPT AND YEMEN ENJOYS A HIGHER STANDARD OF LIVING THAN NINE EUROPEAN NATIONS INCLUDING RUSSIA. RATHER, THEY CONTINUE EMPHASIZING WESTERN MEDIA CONDEMNATION OF GADDAFI OVER HIS ENTIRE FOUR DECADES OF LEADERSHIP OF LIBYA AND THE MOVEMENT FOR AFRICAN UNION.

8. IN LESS THAN 2 WEEKS CAME OBAMA'S EXECUTIVE ORDERS FREEZING LIBYAN ACCOUNTS OR CONFISCATING LIBYAN ACCOUNTS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR EVENTUAL USE BY INSURGENTS. EVEN EARLIER BEGAN THE THREATS FROM INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTIONS BEHOLDEN TO U.S. AND NATO, AND OPEN SPECULATION BY THE SAME COALITION OF FORMER COLONIAL POWERS THAT HAD ONCE CONQUERED AND RULED THE ENTIRE NON-WHITE WORLD FOR CENTURIES, OF MILITARY ACTION AGAINST "GADDAFI' (THAT WOULD ADD A SIXTH MUSLIM NATION TO ITS BOMBING LIST OF AFGHANISTAN, IRAQ, SOMALIA, YEMEN AND PAKISTAN.

9. THEN CAME THE SUCCESSFUL PRESSURING OF CHINA AND RUSSIA NOT TO VETO A U.S. NATO ATTACK ON LIBYA IN FAVOR OF THE INSURGENT ARMY (ALMOST OPENLY LED AND FUNDED BY CIA, M16, MOSSAD AND THE FRENCH SECRET SERVICE) UNDER THE PRETEXT OF PROTECTING THE LIBYAN POPULATION FROM ITS OWN GOVERNMENT (NEVER REFERRED TO A AN INDEPENDENT NATION, BUT AS "GADDAFI" OR "THE GADDAFI REGIME). A UN "SECURITY COUNCIL' RESOLUTION WAS PASSED, BUT NEVER MEANT TO PROTECT LIBYANS FROM A BRUTAL FOREIGN FUNDED INSURGENT ARMY CALLING FOR WARPLANES OF THE FORMER EUROPEAN OCCUPIERS OF NORTH AFRICA TO BOMB THEIR OWN COUNTRYMEN AND NATION. DURING ALL THE MONTHS FOLLOWING, CNN WOULD HAVE US BELIEVE THE ATTACKING INSURGENTS NEVER KILLED ANYONE, WHILE HAMMERING IN THE GADDAFI MONSTER THEME.

10. ALL THIS DECEPTION WAS PREPARED OVER DECADES OF RABID MEDIA ATTACKS ON GADDAFI, THE ANTI-IMPERIALIST, THE "MAD DOG' OF REAGAN AND SECRETARY CLINTON, AND THEN WITH CLAIMS THAT LIBYA WAS HAVING JUST ANOTHER REVOLUTION LIKE THOSE AGAINST THE MANY U.S. SUPPORTED DICTATORS OF ARAB NATIONS. WAR ON LIBYAN WAS ACCEPTED BY THE AMERICAN PUBLIC IN THE SAME WAY THE PUBLIC HAD ACCEPTED COVERT VIOLENCE AND WAR TO PROTECT GUATEMALANS, CONGOLESE, DOMINICANS, CUBANS, PANAMANIANS, NICARAGUANS, CHILEANS AND HONDURANS FROM THEIR PRESIDENTS, WARS TO PROTECT KOREANS FROM OTHER KOREANS, VIETNAMESE FROM VIETNAMESE, LAOTIANS FROM LAOTIANS, CAMBODIANS FROM CAMBODIANS, LEBANESE FROM LEBANESE, AFGHANS FROM AFGHANS, IRAQIS FROM IRAQIS, SOMALIS FROM SOMALIS, YEMENI FROM YEMENI, GRENADIANS FROM GRENADIANS, SALVADORIANS FROM SALVADORIANS, YUGOSLAVS FROM YUGOSLAVS, IRANIANS FROM IRANIANS, HAITIANS FROM HAITIANS, AND PAKISTANIS FROM PAKISTANIS. BY THIS TIME EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE U.S. PROTECTION RACKET, BUT COUNT ON INNOVATION BY CIA, CNN AND THE NY TIMES TO MAKE A SEEMINGLY IRONCLAD CASE IN FAVOR OF EACH NEW U.S. EU CANADIAN AUSTRALIAN WAR COALITION.

OBAMA, WHOSE WORDS, ACCEPTED AS THE ALMIGHTY HIMSELF SPEAKING WHEN IT COMES TO PROTECTING THE U.S. FROM THE OUTSIDE WORLD, KEEPS ANNOUNCING GADDAFI MUST GO UNCONDITIONALLY. OBAMA'S REASON FOR BOMBING A SIXTH MUSLIM NATION? NOT TO PROTECT AMERICANS FROM TERRORISM, BUT TO PREVENT GADDAFI FROM MASSACRING HIS OWN PEOPLE. SO SUSPICIOUSLY CARING OF A NOBEL PEACE PRIZE PRESIDENT NONCHALANTLY ORDERING THE TAKING OF THOUSANDS OF LIVES IN A HALF DOZEN OTHER MUSLIM NATIONS IN ORDER TO PROTECT INVADING AMERICAN SOLDIERS AND AMERICANS AT HOME.

THIS LATEST WAR WOULD SEEM FAR FETCHED, BUT FOR CNN BOLDLY LEADING ENOUGH OF THE REST OF CORPORATE OWNED WESTERN MEDIA IN PUBLIC DECEPTION WITH REPEATING WAR-JUSTIFYING SOUND-BITES COLORED BY ALMOST OBVIOUS PSYOPS OF "NOW YOU SEE IT, NOW YOU DON'T' FILM SHOTS.

NO ONE, IN REACTION, IS ALLOWED TO FLINCH, AS THE AUGUSTLY AT HOME WITH HIMSELF SELF-RIGHTEOUS PRESIDENT FEELS SOMEHOW NECESSARY TO TOP OFF HIS CHARGE OF GADDAFI THE MAD MASSACRER OF HIS OWN PEOPLE, BY DRAMATICALLY THROWING IN MENTION OF A WOMAN CLAIMING TO WESTERN REPORTERS IN TRIPOLI THAT SHE WAS RAPED BY LIBYAN SOLDIERS. (THE BLACK WORKER WHO TOLD REUTERS OF HIS WIFE BEING RAPED BEFORE HIM BY REBELS IS A NON-HAPPENING FOR COOPER AND ROBERTSON WHO WITH GREAT SHOW OF COMPASSION PROMOTED THE TRIPOLI WOMAN'S FASCINATING CHARGE FOR A WHOLE WEEK OF PRIME TIME SEX ENTERTAINMENT WHILE THOSE BRITISH AND FRENCH PARAGONS OF VIRTUE WERE BOMBING TO CLEAR THE WAY FOR AN INSURGENT ARMY ADVANCE.

WHEN IT CAME THE TURN OF THE U.S. NATO CONTROLLED INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT TO CONDEMN GADDAFI FOR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY (SOMETHING NO EX-COLONIAL POWER HAS EVER BEEN INDICTED FOR), "PROSECUTOR MORENO-OCAMPO SAID THERE WAS EVIDENCE THAT THE LIBYAN AUTHORITIES BOUGHT "VIAGRA-TYPE' MEDICINES AND GAVE THEM TO TROOPS AS PART OF THE OFFICIAL RAPE POLICY. "THEY WERE BUYING CONTAINERS TO ENHANCE THE POSSIBILITY TO RAPE WOMEN', HE SAID. 'WE HAD DOUBTS AT THE BEGINNING BUT NOW WE ARE MORE CONVINCED THAT HE DECIDED TO PUNISH USING RAPES', THE PROSECUTOR SAID. HE TOLD REPORTERS AT THE UN IN NEW YORK THAT HE HAD COLLECTED EVIDENCE SUGGESTING THE LIBYAN LEADER HAD DECIDED TO PUNISH WOMEN BY USING RAPE AS A WEAPON IN THE HOPE THAT IT WOULD INSTILL FEAR AND CURB DISSENT. IN MARCH, A LIBYAN WOMAN, EMAN AL-OBEIDI, MADE HEADLINES AROUND THE WORLD AFTER SHE BURST INTO A TRIPOLI HOTEL AND SAID SHE HAD BEEN RAPED BY GADDAFI'S TROOPS.

IMAGINE! OBAMA AND THE ICC, TO JUSTIFY TAKING LIBYAN LIVES TO PROTECT OTHER LIBYANS FROM A MASS MURDERER, SEE THE NECESSITY TO INCLUDE FREAKY UNSUBSTANTIATED SEX ACCUSATIONS. DO THEY TAKE US ALL FOR ABSOLUTE FOOLS? - WHILE THEY PLAY CIVIL WAR ON A WHOLE NATION OUT OF THE GOODNESS OF THEIR HEARTS? IS IT THAT RICH AND POWERFUL WHITE FOLKS PLAN TO RULE THE THE REST OF THE WORLD FOR ANOTHER COUPLE OF CENTURIES? THIS ICC HAS ONLY OPENED SIX INVESTIGATIONS, ALL SIX ON AFRICAN NATIONS. THE LIBYAN GOVERNMENT DISMISSED THE COMPLAINT OF THE ICC, "A BABY OF THE EU DESIGNED FOR PROSECUTING AFRICAN LEADERS."

11. U.S. TREASURY ESTIMATED THERE ARE 44 TONES OF GOLD IN THE 100% STATE OWNED BANK OF LIBYA CURRENTLY MINTING GOLD DINARS TO REPLACE TRADING IN DOLLARS AND EUROS. THIS MUST HAVE BEEN THE REASON TO HURRY AN INVASION OF LIBYA (APART FROM ITS LARGEST OIL RESERVES IN AFRICA THAT WERE THEN EXPORTING MOSTLY TO CHINA). WE MIGHT ASK OURSELVES: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A "ROGUE" COUNTRY THREATENS TO BRING THE BANKING SYSTEM THAT BENEFITS THE CORPORATOCRACY TO ITS KNEES? (SEE ARTICLE BY REAGAN ECONOMIST PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS QUOTED FURTHER ON).

13. DOCUMENTED HERE BELOW ARE REPORTS OF INSURGENT ACTS OF HORROR - MOSTLY BY NON-U.S MEDIA. THE READER IS ENCOURAGED TO CHECK FOR HIMSELF OR HERSELF WHAT EXACTLY WAS REPORTED BY ALL THE WORLD'S MAJOR PRINT NEWS OUTLETS FROM FEB. 15TH ONWARD IN TERMS OF NUMBER OF CASUALTIES FOR BOTH SIDES, AND TO VIEW WHATEVER VIDEOS ARE OFFERED AS PROOF THAT LIBYAN POLICE, SECURITY, SOLDIERS TARGETED CIVILIANS PEACEFULLY PROTESTING. THE INTERNET, GOOGLE AND YOUTUBE HAVE OF COURSE A GREAT DEAL OF MATERIAL EMPHASIZING MAINSTREAM ANTI-GADDAFI ACCUSATIONS AND PRAISE FOR THE REBEL ATTACKS ON THE GOVERNMENT, BUT MUCH CAN BE LEARNED FROM ONE'S FAILING TO FIND VERIFIED THAT WHICH CNN, THE OTHER FIVE U.S. NETWORKS, AND U.S. PRINT MEDIA HAVE PUT OUT, ESPECIALLY TO JUSTIFY BIG POWER MILITARY INTERVENTION AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT OF LIBYA, ALWAYS REFERRED TO AS "GADDAFI" OR "THE GADDAFI REGIME"

ON TV, WE DIDN'T SEE PLANES AND TANKS "UNLEASHED" UNTIL TRUCK LOADS OF HEAVILY ARMED REBELS WERE WELL ON THE ROAD TOWARD TRIPOLI. ONE DOES REMEMBER TWO PLANES DEFECTING TO MALTA, TWO OTHERS FALLING OUT OF THE SKY, ONE SHOT DOWN OVER THE OCEAN. BUT NO PICTURES OF PLANES BOMBING PROTESTERS; NO PROOF THAT ORDERS WERE GIVEN TO DO SO. GADDAFI, HAS THROUGHOUT BEEN CALLING FOR AN INTERNATIONAL INVESTIGATION OF HAPPENINGS EVERYWHERE IN LIBYA, BY THE UN OR ANY OTHER WESTERN POWER TO ASCERTAIN EXACTLY WHO HAS BEEN SHOOTING WHO WHILE WESTERN MEDIA ACCUSES ONLY HIM AND HIS GOVERNMENT? THOUGH OBVIOUSLY, CAUGHT UNAWARES DURING THE FIRST DAYS OF THE POWER GRAB, HE HAS REPEATEDLY OFFERED TO MEET WITH THE REBEL LEADERSHIP, AND DID NOT TRY TO RETAKE THE REBEL CAPTURED CITIES UNTIL REBEL ARMIES WERE WELL DOWN THE ROAD TOWARD TRIPOLI.

ON THE FIRST DAY, FEB. 15, REUTERS REPORTED GROUPS OF PROTESTERS ATTACKING POLICE STATIONS, NO DEATHS, 60 INJURED.

THE NEXT DAY, FEB. 16, REUTERS REPORTED, ALONG WITH IMMEDIATELY CREATED REBEL MEDIA, 6 DEAD WHEN MOBS OF MORE THAN A HUNDRED EACH ATTACKED MORE POLICE STATIONS IN VARIOUS TOWNS.

FEB. 17TH, DURING WHAT WAS TO BE AN ANNIVERSARY DEMONSTRATION FOR THE INTERNATIONAL BLOODY PROTESTS AGAINST THE DANISH CARTOONS THAT INSULTED THE PROPHET, WHICH UPON DECLARATIONS FROM LONDON EXILES PEOPLE WERE TO MAKE IT INTO "A DAY OF RAGE' AGAINST LIBYAN LEADER GADDAFI, THE EVENING STANDARD AND AL JAZEERA ENGLISH ESTIMATED THAT FOURTEEN PEOPLE WERE KILLED. REUTERS, BBC AND OPPOSITION MEDIA REPORTED 14 OR 15 DEAD.

BUT AFTER OVERNIGHT PROTESTS, THE FOLLOWING DAY,

18 FEBRUARY 2011, GUARDIAN.CO.UK , IAN BLACK AND OWEN BOWCOTT REPORTED: "AMER SAAD, A POLITICAL ACTIVIST FROM DERNA, TOLD AL-JAZEERA: "THE PROTESTERS IN AL-BAYDA HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SEIZE CONTROL OF THE MILITARY AIRBASE IN THE CITY AND HAVE EXECUTED 50 AFRICAN "MERCENARIES' AND TWO LIBYAN CONSPIRATORS. EVEN IN DERNA TODAY, A NUMBER OF CONSPIRATORS [LOYAL CITIZENS] WERE EXECUTED. THEY WERE LOCKED UP IN THE HOLDING CELLS OF A POLICE STATION BECAUSE THEY RESISTED, AND SOME DIED BURNING INSIDE THE BUILDING."

REUTERS 7:03 PM REPORTED THAT " HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH [BASED ON FIFTH AVENUE< NEW YORK] SAID THAT ACCORDING TO ITS SOURCES INSIDE LIBYA, SECURITY FORCES KILLED AT LEAST 24 PEOPLE IN CRACKDOWNS ON PROTESTS". IOL NEWS OF SOUTH AFRICA , REPORTED DOZENS KILLED BY SECURITY FORCES. [SO AT THIS POINT IN OUR RESEARCH LOYALISTS DEATHS OUTNUMBER ALL CIVILIAN DEATH ON BOTH SIDES BY 2 TO 1.]

"HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH SHORTLY AFTER SENT SOMEONE TO THE EAST OF LIBYA, AND THERE HE FOUND OUT THAT ALL THE 156 CAPTURED PEOPLE, WHICH THE REBELS DESCRIBED AS "AFRICAN MERCENARIES", WERE IN FACT NOT FOREIGN MERCENARIES, BUT LIBYANS WITH BLACK SKIN COLOR, AND THAT THEY SERVED AS REGULAR SOLDIERS IN THE ARMY OF LIBYA. HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH FOUND NO INDICATION THAT THE LIBYAN GOVERNMENT, AS CLAIMED BY THE REBELS, USED MERCENARIES AT ALL TO QUELL THE UPRISING IN EASTERN LIBYA.

THE ACTUALLY EXISTING STRONG SUPPORT FOR MUAMMAR GADDAFI BY BLACK-SKINNED LIBYANS HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH EXPLAINED WITH THE FACT THAT MUAMMAR GADDAFI DID A LOT IN THE PAST TO END THE DISCRIMINATION AGAINST BLACK PEOPLE IN LIBYA. SO IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE THAT THE REBELS HUNTED BLACK-SKINNED PEOPLE AND, REGARDLESS WHETHER THEY WERE LIBYAN SOLDIERS OR FOREIGN REFUGEES OF POVERTY, EXECUTED THEM AS A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE IF POSSIBLE." THE BRITISH GUARDIAN REPORTED FROM BENGHAZI

ON FEBRUARY 24TH, SHORTLY AFTER THE BEGINNING BRITISH TELEGRAPH ALREADY REPORTED SOME MORE DETAILS REGARDING THE OBSERVANCE OF HUMAN RIGHTS BY THE NATO-BACKED GOVERNMENT OPPONENTS IN THE EAST OF LIBYA:
"AHMED AHMED IBRAHIM SHOWED VIDEO FOOTAGE HE HAD CAPTURED ON HIS MOBILE TELEPHONE OF AN AFRICAN MERCENARY HANGING FROM A MEAT-HOOK IN AN AL BAYDA DOORWAY. " MASQUERADING AS PRO-GADDAFI PARTISANS, THEY DUPED THE MERCENARIES, WHO WERE DESCRIBED AS FRENCH-SPEAKING AFRICANS, CAPTURED THEM AND THEN DRAGGED THEM INTO THE STREETS OF AL BAYDA " MR. IBRAHIM, WHO WORKS IN A CAFE, SAID HE BELIEVES MOST WERE EXECUTED ALTHOUGH HE ONLY WITNESSED TWO SLAIN FOREIGNERS."

THE CRITERION "AFRICAN" HERE DOES NOT REFER -- OF COURSE, BECAUSE ALL LIBYANS ARE AFRICANS -- TO AN AFRICAN ORIGIN, BUT TO THE COLOR OF THE SKIN: "AFRICAN" HERE MEANS PEOPLE WITH BLACK SKIN. WHAT THE TELEGRAPH DESCRIBED IS APPLIED TO PEOPLE WITH BLACK SKIN, WHICH THE CIA-BACKED "REBELS" HAD IDENTIFIED AS "FOREIGN MERCENARIES.

BEFORE HE COULD SAY MUCH MORE, A PAIR OF GUARDS TOLD HIM TO SHUT UP AND HUSTLED HIM THROUGH THE STEEL DOORS OF A CELL BLOCK, WHICH QUICKLY SLAMMED BEHIND THEM."

LIBYA: REBELS EXECUTE BLACK IMMIGRANTS WHILE FORCES KIDNAP OTHERS
SOMALILANDPRESS , SOMALIA
ADDIS ABABA -- "HUMAN RIGHT GROUPS SAY REBELS ARE COMMITTING CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY."

IN EAST LIBYA, AFRICAN HUNT BEGAN AS TOWNS AND CITIES BEGAN FALL UNDER THE CONTROL OF LIBYAN REBELS, MOBS AND GANGS. THEY STARTED TO DETAIN, INSULT, RAPE AND EVEN EXECUTE BLACK IMMIGRANTS, STUDENTS AND REFUGEES.

ACCORDING TO SOMALI REFUGEES IN LIBYA, AT LEAST FIVE SOMALIS FROM SOMALILAND AND SOMALIA WERE EXECUTED IN TRIPOLI AND BENGHAZI BY ANTI-GADDAFI MOBS. DOZENS OF REFUGEES AND IMMIGRANTS WORKERS FROM ETHIOPIA, ERITREA, GHANA, NIGERIA, CHAD, MALI AND NIGER HAVE BEEN KILLED, SOME OF THEM WERE LED INTO THE DESERT AND STABBED TO DEATH. BLACK LIBYAN MEN RECEIVING MEDICAL CARE IN HOSPITALS IN BENGHAZI WERE REPORTEDLY ABDUCTED BY ARMED REBELS. THEY ARE PART OF MORE THAN 200 AFRICAN IMMIGRANTS HELD IN SECRET LOCATIONS BY THE REBELS.

IN MANY DISPUTES INVOLVING LIBYAN RESIDENTS AND BLACK AFRICANS, THE LIBYANS ARE TURNING IN THE AFRICANS AS MERCENARIES.

THOUSANDS MORE AFRICANS CAUGHT UP IN THIS MERCENARY HYSTERIA ARE TERRIFIED. SOME BARRICADED THEMSELVES IN THEIR HOMES, WHILE OTHERS HID IN THE DESERT. INSULTED, THREATENED, BEATEN, CHASED AND ROBBED. THEIR ONLY CRIME WAS BEING BLACK AND THEREFORE TREATED AS "MERCENARIES" OF GADDAFI.

WHILE THE AIRING OF GADDAFI'S SO CALLED "BLACK MERCENARIES" BY WESTERN MEDIA HAS IGNITED THE ISSUE, SOME SAY AN XENOPHOBIC ATTITUDE TOWARDS THESE REFUGEES AND LABOURERS HAS EXISTED FOR YEARS.... IN MANY SITUATIONS, GADDAFI AND HIS INNER CIRCLE PREFERRED BLACK AFRICANS AND LIBYANS FROM THE SOUTH OVER LIBYANS FROM THE EAST. NOW THE ANGRY MOBS USING THE REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT ACROSS ARABIA AND NORTH AFRICA ARE HUNTING DOWN BLACK PEOPLE."

"SEVERAL CHADIAN NATIONALS HAD BEEN ARRESTED, SOME WERE "PARADED ON TELEVISION AS MERCENARIES AND SOMETIMES EXECUTED" DESPITE DENIALS THAT LIBYA HAD RECRUITED ANY MERCENARIES FROM ITS SOUTHERN NEIGHBOUR.
THE GOVERNMENT OF CHAD HAD SAID ABOUT 300,000 OF ITS CITIZENS RESIDED IN LIBYA BEFORE THE CRISIS. "

LIBYAN PROTESTERS ATTACK S. KOREAN & CHINESE COMPANIES , FEB 22, 2011 REUTERS SRI LANKA

"ON FEBRUARY 17/18,ABOUT 200 LIBYANS IN THE EASTERN COASTAL TOWN OF DARNAH INVADED A SOUTH KOREAN-RUN CONSTRUCTION SITE AND SET FIRE TO A DORMITORY FOR KOREAN WORKERS.

CHINESE WORKERS HERE SAID NEARLY ALL CHINESE COMPANIES IN THE COUNTRY WERE "ATTACKED OR LOOTED."

" OUR MAN IN TRIPOLI": US-NATO SPONSORED ISLAMIC TERRORISTS INTEGRATE LIBYA'S PRO-DEMOCRACY OPPOSITION BY MICHEL CHOSSUDOVSKY, GLOBALRESEARCH, 4/3/11

RARELY ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE WESTERN MEDIA, THE LIBYA ISLAMIC FIGHTING GROUP (LIFG -- AL-JAMAA AL-ISLAMIYYAH AL-MUQATILAH BI LIBYA), IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE LIBYAN OPPOSITION. THE LIGF, WHICH IS ALIGNED WITH AL-QAEDA, IS IN THE FRONTLINE OF THE ARMED INSURRECTION."

DURING ITS LIFETIME, "THE LIFG WAS SUPPORTED NOT ONLY BY THE CIA AND THE BRITISH SECRET INTELLIGENCE SERVICE BUT ALSO BY FACTIONS WITHIN LIBYA'S INTELLIGENCE AGENCY, LED BY FORMER INTELLIGENCE HEAD AND FOREIGN MINISTER MOUSSA KOUSSA, WHO DEFECTED TO THE UNITED KINGDOM IN LATE MARCH 2011."

LIBYA REBELS: GADDAFI COULD BE RIGHT ABOUT AL-QAEDA - THE FIRST POST
MAR 24, 2011 ... GADDAFI MAY HAVE BEEN RIGHT WHEN HE IDENTIFIED HIS OPPONENTS AS AL-QAEDA, SAYS ALEXANDER COCKBURN.

THE WEST POINT ANALYSTS' STATISTICAL STUDY OF THE AL-QAEDA PERSONNEL RECORDS CONCLUDES THAT ONE COUNTRY PROVIDED "FAR MORE" FOREIGN FIGHTERS IN PER CAPITA TERMS THAN ANY OTHER: NAMELY, LIBYA.
THE RECORDS SHOW THAT THE "VAST MAJORITY OF LIBYAN FIGHTERS THAT INCLUDED THEIR HOME TOWN IN THE SINJAR RECORDS RESIDED IN THE COUNTRY'S NORTHEAST". BENGHAZI PROVIDED MANY VOLUNTEERS. SO DID DERNAH, A TOWN ABOUT 200 KMS EAST OF BENGHAZI, IN WHICH AN ISLAMIC EMIRATE WAS DECLARED WHEN THE REBELLION AGAINST GADDAFI STARTED.

LIBYAN, ONCE A DETAINEE, IS NOW A U.S. ALLY OF SORTS
BY ROD NORDLAND AND SCOTT SHANE NY TIMES, 4/24/11

DARNAH, LIBYA -- "FOR MORE THAN FIVE YEARS, ABU SUFIAN IBRAHIM AHMED HAMUDA BIN QUMU WAS A PRISONER AT THE GUANTÁNAMO BAY PRISON, JUDGED "A PROBABLE MEMBER OF AL QAEDA" BY THE ANALYSTS THERE.

TODAY, MR. QUMU, 51, IS A NOTABLE FIGURE IN THE LIBYAN REBELS
" "HE WAS KNOWN AS ONE OF THE EXTREMIST COMMANDERS OF THE AFGHAN ARABS,' "

WHEN THAT GUANTÁNAMO ASSESSMENT WAS WRITTEN, THE UNITED STATES WAS WORKING CLOSELY WITH COLONEL QADDAFI'S INTELLIGENCE SERVICE AGAINST TERRORISM. NOW, THE UNITED STATES ... IS BACKING WITH AIR POWER THE REBELS, INCLUDING MR. QUMU.

LIBYA: WIKILEAKS CABLES WARN OF EXTREMIST BELIEFS BY HEIDI BLAKE

"LEAKED DIPLOMATIC CABLES OBTAINED BY THE WIKILEAKS DISCLOSE FEARS THAT EASTERN LIBYA IS BEING OVERRUN BY EXTREMISTS INTENT ON OVERTHROWING COLONEL GADDAFI'S REGIME.
(FOR BENGHAZI BEING THE CLOSES AFRICAN PORT TO ITALY, IT HAS APPARENTLY BECOME A CRIME CENTER FOR THE LUCRATIVE HUMAN TRAFFIC TRADE WITH A LOT OF THUGS IN TOWN.)

THE REVOLT STARTED IN BENGHAZI IN EASTERN LIBYA. A VERY IMPORTANT POINT NOT MENTIONED ANYWHERE IN THE INTERNATIONAL MEDIA IS THE FACT THAT DUE TO GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION, BEING ONE OF THE CLOSEST POINT TO EUROPE FROM THE AFRICAN CONTINENT, BENGHAZI HAS OVER THE PAST 15 YEARS OR SO BECOME THE EPICENTER OF AFRICAN MIGRATION TO EUROPE. THE HUMAN TRAFFICKING INDUSTRY, GREW INTO A BILLION DOLLAR A YEAR INDUSTRY IN BENGHAZI. WHEN THE FIRST DEMONSTRATIONS TOOK PLACE IN BENGHAZI THE LOOSE COALITION OF TERRORIST CELLS AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING GANGS IMMEDIATELY TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE TURMOIL TO ATTACK THE HIGH SECURITY PRISONS OUTSIDE OF BENGHAZI WHERE THEIR COMRADES WERE LOCKED UP."

FROM PAST HISTORY OF WESTERN IMPERIALISM, ONE MIGHT ASSUME THAT EVER SINCE A CHARISMATIC LOWEST RANK OFFICER GADHAFI LED THE OVERTHROW OF BRITISH INSTALLED KING IDRIS (1969) AND HAD LIBYA NATIONALIZE THE "FREE WORLD'S' OIL, M16, CIA, AND FRENCH SECRET SERVICE SHOULD HAVE HAD A RELATIVELY EASY TIME HATCHING PLOTS FOR GADDAFI'S ASSASSINATION WITHIN THE CONTENTIOUS TRIBAL SOCIETY OF THAT HALF-BERBER NATION.

THIS JUST MIGHT PERHAPS EXPLAIN THE YEARS OF BACK AND FORTH COUNTER ASSASSINATION EPISODES CULMINATING, AFTER DECADES, WITH PRESIDENT REAGAN'S BOMBING ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE GADDAFI BY MISSILES FIRED ON HIS COMPOUND FROM PLANES OFF AN AIRCRAFT CARRIER THAT KILLED A HUNDRED LIBYANS, GADHAFI'S DAUGHTER AMONG THEM. THE "COMMUNITY OF NATIONS' NEVER HAS MUCH OF A PROBLEM WITH U.S. BOMBINGS - THE MEDIA CONGLOMERATES OF A SAVAGE INVESTMENT COMMUNITY WENT ON CONDEMNING GADHAFI AS THEY DID FIDEL CASTRO.

THEN CAME A BIZARRE ARRANGEMENT UNDER WHICH YEARS OF WESTERN NATION EMBARGOES AND SANCTIONS ON LIBYA WOULD BE LIFTED UPON LIBYA ALLOWING TWO LIBYANS TO STAND TRIAL IN SCOTLAND ON CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE AND LIBYA PAYING A INDEMNITY TO FAMILIES OF VICTIMS OF A PAMAM FLIGHT BOMBED OVER SCOTLAND BY PERSONS UNKNOWN. STRANGELY, AFTER A TRIAL ENDING IN CONVICTION THAT UNITED NATIONS SPECIAL RAPPORTEUR MICHAEL NOWAK AMONG OTHERS IN ATTENDANCE CALLED A "ABOMINABLE MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE," IN WHICH NO HARD EVIDENCE, WAS PRESENTED, LIBYA WAS ADMITTED TO THE "COMMUNITY OF NATIONS' AND ABLE TO TRADE ONCE MORE.

WHEN ONE WHO WAS CONVICTED WAS RECENTLY RELEASED FOR BEING TERMINALLY ILL (OR BY PREVIOUS COVERT AGREEMENT), WAS WELCOMED HOME AS A HERO FOR HIS WILLINGNESS TO SACRIFICE HIMSELF FOR THE NATIONS RESTITUTION, MAINSTREAM MEDIA HAD ITS CAPTIVE AUDIENCE HIT THE CEILING. ALL VERY CONFUSING, EXCEPT TO KNOW THAT SOMEHOW LIBYA'S OIL WAS SOMEHOW PLAYING A PART FROM THE TIME GADHAFI HAD LIBYA NATIONALIZE IT.

GADDAFI, AS MOST ARABS, HAS BEEN OUTSPOKEN IN SUPPORT FOR PALESTINIANS IN THEIR STRUGGLE OVER THEIR LAND BEING TAKEN AWAY FROM THEM BY THE COLONIAL-POWERS-FOUNDED-AND-CONTROLLED UNITED NATIONS, WHICH AWARDED MORE THAT 55% OF THE BRITISH MANDATE (COLONY) OF PALESTINE TO THE MAINLY EUROPEAN COLONIZING IMMIGRANT JEWISH THIRD OF THE THEN TOTAL POPULATION OF THE MANDATE. GADDAFI HOLDS THE BELIEF THAT THIS UN DECISION WAS MEANT TO BOTH ASSUAGE WEALTHY WHITE CAPITALISTS' CONSCIENCES FOR HAVING INVESTED IN LOW WAGE GERMAN LABOR AND BUILT UP POOR NAZI GERMANY TO WORLD #1 MILITARY POWER IN FULL AWARENESS OF HITTER'S WELL ANNOUNCED PLANS TO PERSECUTE JEWS, AND, TO ESTABLISH A COLONY OF EUROPEANS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OIL RICH ARAB WORLD.

PITILESSLY HATEFUL REMARKS ATTRIBUTED TO GADDAFI AFTER THE HORRIBLY INDISCRIMINATE MASSACRE AT ISRAEL'S LOD AIRPORT BY A JAPANESE TERRORIST GROUP, CAN BE UNDERSTOOD, IF NOT FORGIVEN, AS HAVING BEEN MADE BY SOMEONE SUFFERING THE AWARENESS THAT NONE OF THE MASSIVE NUMBER OF ISRAELI MASSACRES OF PALESTINIANS AND LEBANESE HAS EVER BEEN CONDEMNED BY EUROPEAN OR AMERICAN GOVERNMENTS OR BY THE ISRAELIS.

THE SAME MIGHT BE SAID FOR THE DOUBLE STANDARD THAT RIGHTFULLY CONDEMNS FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR ARAB TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS BUT NOT AMERICAN AND EUROPEAN COVERT FUNDING OF TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS IN DOZENS OF THIRD WORLD NATIONS, E.G., CARTER/CIA FUNDING, ARMING AND TRAINING OF THE VERY FIRST FUNDAMENTALIST TERROR TO OVERTHROW A WOMEN LIBERATING SOCIALIST KABUL GOVERNMENT AND DRAW THE SOVIETS INTO A TRAP IN COMING TO ITS DEFENSE.

WITH AFRICA EVER DOMINATED BY COMPETING EUROPEAN INVESTMENTS AND COMPETING NATIONS FOR HEGEMONY AND PROFITS FUNDING TERROR AND CIVIL WAR TO THEIR INVESTMENTS ADVANTAGE, GADDAFI INEVITABLY HAS BEEN DRAWN IN TO SUPPORT WHICH EVER GROUP JUDGED TO BE FOR LIBERATION FROM CRUEL EUROPEAN EXPLOITATION. EUROPEANS IN THEIR CORPORATE CONTROLLED MEDIA ARE ABLE TO ACCUSE GADDAFI OF SUPPORTING TERROR. BUT IN THE CRUEL REALPOLITIK OF A NEO-COLONIZED AFRICA OF SHIFTING COVERT MACHINATIONS, NO ONE IS ABLE TO STAY CLEAN.

ON GADDAFI'S WATCH THERE WAS PROTECTION FROM EUROPEAN EXPLOITATION. LIBYA HAD RISEN ABOVE THE DIRT POOR POVERTY OF THE REST OF AN AFRICA STILL CRUELLY ENSLAVED ECONOMICALLY BY EUROPEAN ENTERPRISE. GOOD HOSPITALS, HIGHEST LONGEVITY, LOWEST INFANT MORTALITY - MOST EVERY FAMILY WITH A CAR. SEE LIBYA IN ITS UN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT INDEX 2010 AS THE 53RD MOST DEVELOPED NATION.

GADHAFI LIKE NKRUMA BEFORE HIM, LEADS A MOVEMENT FOR AFRICAN UNITY AGAINST EUROPEAN ECONOMIC EXPLOITATION.
BEFORE THAT, GADDAFI WORKED FOR YEARS TO UNIFY THE ARAB NATION INTO ONE UNIFIED PAN-ARAB MOVEMENT FOLLOWING THE EFFORTS OF ANOTHER YOUNG REVOLUTIONARY OFFICER, GAMAL ABDEL NASSER OF EGYPT, WHO WAS ALSO REVILED IN THE ARAB WORLD DOMINATING INDUSTRIALIZED NATIONS.

GADDAFI IS NO "RAMBLING SPEAKING," INAPPROPRIATELY DRESSED "MAD DOG" FOR THE UNDESERVING POOR, IMPERIALISM OPPRESSED, MAJORITY OF THE NEARLY SEVEN BILLION HUMAN BEINGS THAT MAKE UP HUMANITY, STRUGGLING TO SURVIVE ON A PLANET HALF OWNED AND MOSTLY CONTROLLED BY PRIVATE FINANCE INVESTMENT CAPITAL. FOR MAJORITY MANKIND GADDAFI IS IN A CATEGORY WITH FIDEL CASTRO, CHE GUEVARA, HUGO CHAVEZ, EVO MORALES, RAFAEL CORREA, PATRICE LUMUMBA, NKRUMA, NASSER, AND OTHERS WHO HAVE FOUGHT TO LIBERATE THE DISENFRANCHISED AND EXPLOITED FROM LACK OF FOOD, HEALTH CARE, EDUCATION OF DECENT INCOME FOR THEIR CHILDREN.

THE SCHLOCK OF LIES AND ABSURD INNUENDO GOES ON WITH ALL KINDS OF OBVIOUSLY PLANTED STORIES ABOUT AMERICAN INVESTORS' DESIGNATED ENEMIES. LIES, WHICH EVENTUALLY WILL BE FOUND OUT AND PROVEN FALSE WHEN THE ISSUE IS NO LONGER TOPICAL AND OF INTEREST. WHO CARES ABOUT THE GULF OF TONKIN LIES, THE MANY IRAQ WMD LIES, THAT IRAQI SOLDIERS DIDN'T PULL OUT THE LIFE SUSTAINING TUBES OF BABIES IN KUWAIT HOSPITALS, THAT THE PLANES THAT BOMBED CUBA WERE INDEED AMERICAN, THAT THE DUG UP NORTH KOREAN TORPEDO COULD NOT HAVE BLOWN A SOUTH KOREAN WARSHIP IN TWO? BOOKS HAVE BEEN WRITTEN EXPOSING SUCH INTENTIONAL FALSEHOODS, BUT EMINENT AND ESTEEMED LIARS PAY THEM ABSOLUTELY NO ATTENTION. IT IS THEIR WORLD, NOT OURS.

LIES HAVE A LONG LIFE IN MILITARIZED, JINGOISTIC, AMERICAN BIG BROTHER COMMERCIAL NETWORK NEWS. AMERICANS ARE STILL THE HEROES OF AMERICA'S WAR IN VIETNAM.

"BOMBING OF LIBYA -- PUNISHMENT FOR GADDAFI FOR HIS ATTEMPT TO REFUSE US DOLLAR' , "CHINA HAD ANNOUNCED MINTING OF GOLDEN YUAN AND THE EASTERN COUNTRIES ALSO DISCUSSED THE POSSIBILITY OF GOLDEN STANDARD. MUMMAR GHADDAFI BECAME THE MAIN INITIATOR OF IDEA OF REFUSING FROM DOLLAR AND EURO AND CALLED ON ARAB AND AFRICAN NATIONS TO USE A NEW CURRENCY INSTEAD, THE PERSIAN GOLD DINAR. IN 2002 MALAYSIAN PRIME MINISTER MUHAMMAD TOGETHER WITH MUMMAR GHADDAFI PROPOSED INITIATIVE TO LAUNCH GOLDEN DINAR. AT THE BEGINNING THIS IDEA WAS APPROVED BY IRAQ, SUDAN AND BRUNEY, NEXT, INDONESIA
, UNITED ARABIAN EMIRATES AND OTHER COUNTRIES JOINED TO IT. THEY BEGAN WORK ON THIS IDEA. THERE WERE SOME SESSIONS OF MINISTERS OF FINANCE OF THESE COUNTRIES AND THE PROJECT ABOUT REFUSING FROM DOLLAR AND EURO AND USING GOLDEN DINAR BEGAN TO BE TRANSFERRED TO LIFE. THERE WAS A PILOT PROJECT WHERE GOLDEN COINS WERE ALREADY MINTED AND IT BEGAN TO BE USED IN MALAYSIA, INDONESIA AND IRAN. THEY WERE EVEN USED IN COMMON SHOPS AND THEY ARE STILL CAN BE USED THERE AS WELL AS COMMON BANKNOTE MONEY. IT MEANS THAT IF MUAMMAR GHADDAFI WILL DROP BANK SYSTEM AND WILL START TRADE ONLY IN GOLD, HE WILL TRADE ONLY WITH COUNTRIES THAT HAVE GOLD. (CHINA HAS ALMOST CORNERED THE GOLD MARKET?) ... THERE MUST BE CHAIN REACTION, BECAUSE EVERYONE IS TIRED TO BE A SLAVE FOR USA FEDERAL RESERVE FOND AND ITS HEAD MR. BERNANKE. BECAUSE BERNANKE GIVES MONEY IN DEBT FOR USA (FEDERAL RESERVE FOND OF USA GIVES MONEY TO CENTRAL BANK OF USA). IF MUAMMAN GHADDAFI FOUND TIME TO LAUNCH GOLDEN COINS BEFORE THE WAR STARTED, NOT ONLY MUSLIM COUNTRIES WOULD FOLLOW HIM. THERE WOULD BE MANY COUNTRIES, INCLUDING MAYBE EVEN GERMANY. EVERYONE IN THE WORLD WHO DOESN'T WANT TO BE A SLAVE OF BERNANKE WANTS TO TRADE FOR GOLD.

GADDAFI SUGGESTED ESTABLISHING A UNITED AFRICAN CONTINENT, WITH ITS 200 MILLION PEOPLE USING THIS SINGLE CURRENCY. DURING THE PAST YEAR, THE IDEA WAS APPROVED BY MANY ARAB COUNTRIES AND MOST AFRICAN COUNTRIES.

IF THE GADDAFI GOVERNMENT GOES DOWN, IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO WATCH WHETHER THE NEW CENTRAL BANK [CREATED BY THE REBELS IN MARCH] JOINS THE BIS, WHETHER THE NATIONALIZED OIL INDUSTRY GETS SOLD OFF TO INVESTORS, AND WHETHER EDUCATION AND HEALTHCARE CONTINUE TO BE FREE."

WORLD BANK'S ZOELLICK: HOPES BANK WILL HAVE ROLE IN LIBYA BY JEFFREY SPARSHOTT DOW JONES NEWSWIRES , 4/14/11

WASHINGTON -(DOW JONES)- WORLD BANK PRESIDENT ROBERT ZOELLICK THURSDAY SAID HE HOPES THE INSTITUTION WILL HAVE A ROLE REBUILDING LIBYA AS IT EMERGES FROM CURRENT UNREST.

US TO RECOUP LIBYAN OIL FROM CHINA INTERVIEW WITH DR. PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS, FORMER ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF US TREASURY BY PRESS TV / 4/20/11
"LIBYAN RULER MUAMMAR QADDAFI HAS MADE TWO MISTAKES: IT BLOCKED THE US AFRICA COMMAND BY NOT JOINING IT AND LET CHINA INTO LIBYA WITH MAJOR ENERGY INVESTMENTS INSTEAD, SAYS A FORMER US OFFICIAL.

IN MY OPINION, WHAT THIS IS ABOUT IS TO ELIMINATE CHINA FROM THE MEDITERRANEAN. CHINA HAS EXTENSIVE ENERGY INVESTMENTS AND CONSTRUCTION INVESTMENTS IN LIBYA. THEY ARE LOOKING TO AFRICA AS A FUTURE ENERGY SOURCE.

CHINA ... HAS 50 MAJOR INVESTMENT PROJECTS IN EASTERN LIBYA. SO THE QUESTION IS WHY DID RUSSIA AND CHINA ABSTAIN RATHER THAN VETO AND BLOCK? WE DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER.

POSSIBLY CHINA AND RUSSIA ARE THINKING LET THE AMERICANS GET FURTHER OVER EXTENDED OR THEY MAY NOT HAVE WANTED TO CONFRONT THEM WITH A MILITARY OR DIPLOMATIC POSITION AND HAVE AN ONSLAUGHT OF WESTERN PROPAGANDA AGAINST THEM. WE DON'T KNOW THE REASONS, BUT WE KNOW THEY DID ABSTAIN BECAUSE THEY DID NOT AGREE WITH THE POLICY AND THEY CONTINUE TO CRITICIZE IT.

THE CIA IS THE ORIGINATOR OF THIS SO-CALLED REVOLT AND PROTEST AND IS FOMENTING IT AND CONTROLLING IT IN A WAY THAT EXCLUDES CHINA FROM ITS OWN LIBYAN OIL INVESTMENTS.

IT'S A CIA OPERATION, NOT A LEGITIMATE PROTEST OF THE LIBYAN PEOPLE. IT'S AN ARMED REBELLION THAT HAS NO SUPPORT IN THE CAPITAL CITY. IT'S TAKING PLACE IN THE EAST WHERE THE OIL IS AND IS DIRECTED AT CHINA.

WE (THE US) ARE TRYING TO CRIPPLE OUR MAIN RIVAL, CHINA BY DENYING IT ENERGY. THAT'S WHAT THIS IS REALLY ABOUT; A REACTION BY THE US."

FOR 7,540 YEARS CYRENAICA (BENGHAZI) AND TRIPOLI HAVE BEEN GOVERNED INDEPENDENT FROM EACH OTHER DURING OCCUPATION BY ROME, VANDALS, BYZANTIUM, THE UMMAYAD OF DAMASCUS, AGHLABIDS, EGYPTIAN SHIITES, SPAIN, THE KNIGHTS OF MALTA, TURKS AND ITALIANS. IN 1934 ITALY TRIED TO UNITE THE TWO INTO ONE NATION NAMED LIBYA (ANCIENT GREEK WORD FOR N. AFRICA). THEN CAME THE BRITISH AND FRENCH OCCUPATION UNTIL 1954.

WHERE THERE IS RIVALRY, THERE IS OPPORTUNITY FOR COVERT FUNDING OF DISORDER AND MAYHEM TO WHIP UP INSURRECTION. WITH FALSE FLAG OPERATIONS, A LOT CAN BE DONE. WITH AL QAEDA ELEMENTS AND OTHER FUNDAMENTALISTS POPULATING A LARGE AREA TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF BENGHAZI, THERE WAS NO SHORTAGE OF FANATICAL MANPOWER FOR A WELL PLANNED ARMED REBELLION TO BE PORTRAYED AS PEACEFUL DEMONSTRATIONS FOR DEMOCRACY.

LEAVE THE REST TO CNN AND THE OTHER FIVE NETWORKS, WHO FOR DECADES HAVE BEEN LECTURING ITS CARTEL CAPTIVE AUDIENCE ABOUT "MAD DOG' GADHAFI TO IMMEDIATELY HAVE VIEWERS AGREEING THAT GADDAFI, MOST CERTAINLY, FOR SURE, ABSOLUTELY, WITHOUT A DOUBT, WAS GOING TO MASSACRE HIS OWN PEOPLE, AS OBAMA AFFIRMED IN HIS SPEECH TO JUSTIFY AIR STRIKES ON LIBYA.

HOW WILL NIC AND AMDERSON DEAL WITH THEIR CONSCIENCE? PROBABLY AS DID THE MEDIA PERSONNEL WHO PROPAGATED ALL THE OTHER U.S. WARS ON LITTLE COUNTRIES. "IT'S A JOB.' "IT THEY HADN'T DONE IT SOMEONE ELSE WOULD HAVE.'

FORMER REAGAN ECONOMIST PAUL CRAIG RORBERTS SAYS "AMERICA WANTS TO RULE RUSSIA, CHINA, IRAN, AND AFRICA, ALL OF SOUTH AMERICA. THEY WANT HEGEMONY OVER THE WORLD."

GENERAL WESLEY CLARK SAYS HE WAS TOLD YEARS YEARS AGO IN A BRIEFING THAT THE PLAN WAS TO TAKE OUT SEVEN COUNTRIES IN FIVE YEARS. AFTER AFGHANISTAN AND IRAQ WOULD COME SYRIA, LIBYA, LEBANON, SUDAN, SOMALIA AND THEN IRAN.

CNN'S JOB, AS A PATRIOTIC CORPORATION, IS TO SEE THAT AMERICA GETS ON WELL WITH ITS AGENDA. IT JUST BUSINESS.

CAPITALISM'S WARPLANES: CIA & AL QAEDA DESTROY SOCIALIST LIBYA'S 53RD HIGHEST LIVING STANDARD
AN IMPERATIVE MORE BASIC THAN KEEPING US BACKED DICTATORS IN POWER AND ELIMINATING NON-CAPITALIST REGIMES IS AT WORK IN LIBYA AND THE MIDDLE EAST. AN IMPERATIVE THAT HAS CREATED ALL WARS. IT IS IMPERATIVE FOR PRIVATE INVESTMENT FINANCIAL CAPITAL TO ACCUMULATE, AND TO ACCUMULATE AT AN EVER INCREASING RATE, PUSHING THE WEALTHY OWNERS OF CAPITAL INTO EVER NEW VARIATIONS OF SAME ANCIENT CONSPIRACY OF THE RICH AGAINST THE POOR

IT'S LIKE WHEN YOU WATCH A MAGICIAN PERFORM. YOU MIGHT HAVE AN IDEA HOW THE SLIGHT OF HAND WAS DONE. BUT YOU DON'T REALLY KNOW FOR SURE. YOU JUST KNOW WHAT YOU SAW WAS A TRICK.

YOU HAVE SEEN REVOLUTIONARIES BEFORE, REAL AND PHONY. THESE HEAVILY ARMED EXCITED HOMBRES DON'T LOOK AND ACT THE PART OF THE AGGRIEVED, AND FOR THE MOST PART DON'T LOOK LIKE THE NOBLE PEOPLE RISKING THEIR LIVES IN THE STREETS OF CAIRO, TUNIS, SANA'A AND MANAMA.

THIRDLY, THE REALLY BAD GUYS, THE BIG BAD GUYS - THE VERY POWERFUL IMPERIALIST CAPITALISTS WHO REVOLUTIONARIES MUST ALWAYS FIGHT, ARE INCONGRUOUSLY ON THE SIDE OF "LIBYAN "REVOLUTIONARIES.'

FOURTHLY, IF THEY HAVE IT BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE IN AFRICA AND THE ARAB WORLD, WHY ARE THEY WILLING TO KILL AND BE KILLED TO CHANGE THE LEADER WHO HAS LED THEM IN PRODUCING AN ENVIABLE LEVEL OF SOCIAL SERVICES DEMOCRATICALLY AVAILABLE TO ALL CITIZENS*(1 ), AND SIDE WITH LIBYA'S FORMER BRUTAL EXPLOITING EUROPEAN MASTERS WHO NOW GENEROUSLY BOMB LIBYA AGAIN?

POLICE AND SECURITY PERSONNEL HAVE BEEN KILLING PROTESTORS THROUGHOUT THE WESTERN DOMINATED ARAB WORLD. ONE MIGHT BE SURPRIZED THAT IT HAPPENED IN SOCIALIST LIBYA (1), BUT POLICE EVERYWHERE ARE KNOWN TO GET CARRIED AWAY, AND IN LIBYA FROM THE VERY FIRST DAYS, THERE WERE ATTACKS ON POLICE AND FOREIGNERS.


IN EGYPT, YEMEN, BAHRAIN AND TUNISIA THE CONTIUNING LOSS OF LIFE DURING MASSIVE DEMONSTRATIONS, THAT WERE, AND ARE, STILL BEING SHOWN TO BE BASICALLY PEACEFUL BY PLENTY OF ONSITE MEDIA CROWD-COVERAGE, WAS HEARTBREAKING. WE SAW FOR WEEKS, BEAUTIFUL SIMPATICO AND CHARMING FACES OF PEOPLE HEROICALLY RISKING THEIR LIVES, GENEROUS COMMON PEOPLE, DRIVEN TO PROTEST BY BAD LIVING CONDITIONS, LACK OF JOBS, HEALTH CARE AND EDUCATION.*(2) THE HUGE AMOUNT OF DESPERATE POOR, IN DIRE STRAITS, ESPECIALLY IN EGYPT AND YEMEN HAD, AND CONTINUE TO HAVE, PRESSING REASONS TO GET RID HEARTLESS U.S. BACKED DICTATORS FAVORING THE RICH. THEY WANT TO INSTALL ECONOMIC FAIRNESS AND WELL BEING FOR THEIR CHILDREN, NOT THAT KIND OF CORRUPT AND PHONY WESTERN PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRACY THAT SUPPORTS FOREIGN INVESTMENT CAPITAL AND THE MUBARAKS, BEN ALIS, SALEHS, SUHARTOS, DUVALIERS AND OTHER LOCAL RULERS OF THE WORLD'S POOR FOR THE BENEFIT OF INVESTORS IN THE INDUSTRIALIZED FIRST WORLD.

COMPARE THE ABOVE PEACEFULLY MASSED HUMANITY WITH THE CNN VIDEOS OF WILD-EYED YOUNG MEN JUMPING UP AND DOWN DENOUNCING GADDAFI, THE LEADER OF THE GOVERNMENT PROVIDING THE HIGHEST STANDARD OF LIVING IN AFRICA - FREE HIGHER EDUCATION, HEALTH CARE IN GOOD HOSPITALS, HIGHEST LONGEVITY, LOWEST INFANT MORTALITY - MOST EVERY FAMILY WITH A CAR*(1).

GIVEN THE NINE MILLENNIUMS LONG HISTORY OF RIVALRY BETWEEN GREEK FOUNDED BENGHAZI (CYRENAICA) AND PHOENICIAN FOUNDED TRIPOLI, THE PRESENT CLIMATE OF ARAB ANTI-GOVERNMENT PROTESTS AND DECADES OF VIRULENT HATE GADDAFI STORIES IN THE MEDIA*( 9) HOW EASY IT MUST HAVE BEEN FOR THE BIG POWERS AND THEIR PRO-DEMOCRACY ORGANIZATIONS. HOW EASY FOR CIA, M16 AND FRENCH SECRET SERVICES AND THE OVERSEAS BASED U.S. AND BRITISH FUNDED NATIONAL CONFERENCE FOR THE LIBYAN OPPOSITION TO COORDINATE AND PLAN THE ARMED UPRISING THAT BEGAN WITH A CALL FOR A DAY OF RAGE ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE HUGE RIOT OVER THE DANISH CARTOONS INSULTING THE PROPHET AND A DEADLY ATTACK ON THE ITALIAN CONSULATE IN BENGHAZI IN 2006. 

FOR 7,540 YEARS CYRENAICA (BENGHAZI) AND TRIPOLI HAVE BEEN GOVERNED INDEPENDENT FROM EACH OTHER DURING ROMAN, VANDAL, BYZANTIUM, UMMAYAD OF DAMASCUS, AGHLABIDS, EGYPTIAN SHIITES, SPAIN, THE KNIGHTS OF MALTA, TURKS AND ITALIANS. IN 1934 ITALY TRIED TO UNITE THE TWO INTO ONE NATION NAMED LIBYA (ANCIENT GREEK WORD FOR N. AFRICA). THEN CAME THE BRITISH AND FRENCH OCCUPATION UNTIL 1954.

WITH BRITISH BACKING, IDRIS AS-SENUSSI PROCLAIMED AN INDEPENDENT EMIRATE OF CYRENAICA IN 1949. HE WAS ALSO INVITED TO BECOME EMIR OF TRIPOLITANIA, AND ULTIMATELY BECAME KING IDRIS OF LIBYA IN 1951. IDRIS HAD CLOSE TIES WITH THE BRITISH AND THE UNITED STATES (ERGO THE LARGE U.S. WHEELUS AIR BASE). OIL WAS DISCOVERED IN LIBYA IN 1959, BUT KING LDRIS ALLOWED MOST OF THE OIL PROFITS TO BE SIPHONED INTO THE COFFERS OF THE OIL COMPANIES.

IN 1969, NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICER MUAMMAR GADDAFI LED COUP BY A GROUP WITHIN THE LIBYAN ARMY. A REPUBLIC WAS PROCLAIMED, THE MONARCHY ABOLISHED. WHAT WAS A PREDOMINANTLY RURAL AND BACKWARD COUNTRY WHEN THE KING WAS DEPOSED 42 YEARS AGO IS TODAY A COUNTRY WITH A MODERN ECONOMY AND HIGH LITERACY. BUT IDRIS' HOME WAS IN BENGHAZI, AND GADDAFI RESIDES IN TRIPOLI. DECENTRALIZED GREEN BOOK ARAB SOCIALISM ALSO FAVORED THE TRIPOLI - CYRENAICA RIVALRY TO CONTINUE. PERHAPS A BIT OF ""EAST IS EAST, WEST IS WEST, AND NEVER THE TWAIN SHALL MEET."

WHERE THERE IS RIVALRY, THERE IS OPPORTUNITY FOR COVERT FUNDING OF DISORDER AND MAYHEM TO WHIP UP INSURRECTION. WITH FALSE FLAG OPERATIONS A LOT CAN BE DONE. WITH AL QAEDA ELEMENTS AND OTHER FUNDAMENTALISTS POPULATING A LARGE AREA TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF BENGHAZI, (7) THERE WAS NO SHORTAGE OF FANATICAL MANPOWER FOR A WELL PLANNED ARMED REBELLION TO BE PORTRAYED AS PEACEFUL DEMONSTRATIONS FOR DEMOCRACY. 

LEAVE THE REST TO CNN AND THE OTHER FIVE NETWORKS, WHO FOR DECADES HAVE BEEN LECTURING ITS CARTEL CAPTIVE AUDIENCE ABOUT "MAD DOG' GADHAFI*(9), TO IMMEDIATELY HAVE VIEWERS AGREEING THAT GADDAFI, MOST CERTAINLY, FOR SURE ABSOLUTELY, WITHOUT A DOUBT, WAS GOING TO MASSACRE HIS OWN PEOPLE, AS OBAMA AFFIRMED IN HIS SPEECH TO JUSTIFY AIR STRIKES ON LIBYA.(9)

CNN, THE UNABASHED VOICE OF THE PENTAGON WITH A HISTORY OF SLANDERING ENEMIES OF IMPERIALISM, INITIALLY RAN CELL PHONE VIDEOS OF PEOPLE RUNNING WITH THE SOUND OF GUN SHOTS - SHOTS FROM WHERE AND WHOM UNKNOWN EXCEPT FOR THE CNN NEWSCASTERS EXCITED VOICES PASSIONATELY SHOUTING, "GADDAFI!! GADDAFI IS SHOOTING, BOMBING, PEACEFUL PROTESTERS ASKING FOR DEMOCRACY."*(3)(4)

NOT ONCE, DURING THESE TWO MONTHS OF HIGH VIOLENCE IN LIBYA, HAS THIS WRITER HEARD CNN TV NEWSCASTERS REPORT ANY CIVILIAN DEATH CAUSED BY REBELS FIRING THEIR HEAVY WEAPONS. BUT FROM SOME EUROPEAN AND AFRICAN NEWS REPORTS WE KNOW OF A LOT, INCLUDING BRUTAL EXECUTIONS.*(4 )(6) GADDAFI CHARGED EARLY ON THAT THERE WAS A MASSACRE BY REBELS IN GREEN SQUARE, AND CALLED FOR A UN INVESTIGATION TEAM ON THE GROUND IN LIBYA, WHILE CONTINUALLY PLEADING FOR MEETINGS AND DISCUSSIONS WITH THE REBELS. "GADDAFI, MUST GO!" HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE REJECTION FROM THE REBEL LEADERSHIP.

CONGLOMERATE OWNED MEDIA, SUBSERVIENT TO OVERSEAS INVESTMENT NEEDS, MOLDS IT'S COVERAGE ACCORDING TO DEVELOPMENTS. WHEN U.S. PLANES BOMB, LIBYAN GOVERNMENT REPORTS OF THE RESULTING CIVILIAN DEATH ARE DISPARAGED AS AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE AMERICA LOOK BAD. WHEN LIBYAN LOYALIST FORCES SHOW SUCCESS, NEWS ANCHORS SHOW DISTRESS AND REPORT THAT GADDAFI IS TARGETING AND MURDERING CIVILIANS, NOT DEFENDING THE LIBYAN POPULATION AND THEIR GOVERNMENT FROM INSURGENT ATTACK.*(5)

AT NO TIME HAS IT BEEN INDICATED IN COMMERCIAL TELECASTS THAT A MAJORITY OF LIBYANS SUPPORT OVERTHROWING THEIR GOVERNMENT, MUCH LESS BACK A USNATO WAR TO INSTALL A WESTERN-ALIGNED GOVERNMENT IN TRIPOLI WITH THE LIBYA ISLAMIC FIGHTING GROUP (LIFG -- AL-JAMAA AL-ISLAMIYYAH AL-MUQATILAH BI LIBYA), FORMERLY, IF NOT STILL TODAY, ALIGNED WITH AL-QAEDA, IN THE FRONT-LINE OF THE ARMED INSURRECTION.*(7) THE PROGRAMERS OF CNN WAR PROMOTION HIGH UPSTAIRS IN THE CORPORATE HIERARCHY MUST BE WELL AWARE THAT LIBYA IS STILL TRIBAL, AND MANY OF THE LARGER TRIBES WOULD BE TRADITIONALLY STAUNCH SUPPORTERS OF GADDAFI. DER SPIEGEL MAGAZINE , GERMANY, 3/30/11, HAS A FEATURE ARTICLE ON WHAT ONE WOULD LOGICALLY EXPECT, NAMELY, "BENGHAZI ISN'T A PURE REBEL STRONGHOLD, THERE ARE GADHAFI SUPPORTERS HERE."HTTP://WWW.SPIEGEL.DE/INTERNATIONAL/WORLD/0,1518,752580,00.HTML

LIBYA'S BIGGEST TRIBE JOINS MARCH OF RECONCILIATION TO BENGHAZI 
GUARDIAN UK 3/23/11
"WITH MORE THAN A MILLION MEMBERS, WARFALLA LIVE ALL OVER LIBYA, INCLUDING IN THE REBEL STRONGHOLD OF BENGHAZI. THE TRIBE'S GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION MEANS IT IS WELL-PLACED TO HELP HEAL BITTER DIVISIONS BY JOINING A PEACEFUL "GREEN MARCH" TO THE EASTERN CITY TO PROMOTE RECONCILIATION AND AVOID THE KOREA-STYLE PARTITION OF THE COUNTRY MANY FEAR"

"WE WILL TALK TO THEM, NOT USE GUNS, TO DISCUSS THEIR DEMANDS," SAID BANI WALID DOCTOR, SALMAN AL-DAGIL. ...

"ALL LIBYANS ARE RELATED, ESPECIALLY THE WARFALLA," SAID MBRAK IBRAHIM, A BRITISH-EDUCATED TELECOMS ENGINEER. "IT MEANS THAT WE HAVE FAMILY EVERYWHERE. WE WILL BE HAPPY IF WE CAN OPEN OUR HEARTS AND STOP THIS BLOODSHED."

ONE NOTICES THAT THOUGH CNN ANCHORS ARE OFTEN REPORTING FROM TRIPOLI AND OTHER TOWNS NOT TAKEN OR UNDER ATTACK BY REBELS, THEY HAVE NOT BEEN REPORTING FROM INSIDE THE REBEL CONTROLLED CITIES LIKE BENGHAZI, RATHER CONSTANTLY SHOWING THEMSELVES ALONG SIDE THE PICK-UP TRUCKS MOUNTED WITH HEAVY WEAPONS. THE GUN MOUNTED PICK-UP TRUCK HAS BECOME THE U.S. TV. LOGO OF THE CRUSADE FOR DEMOCRACY.

WHILE U.S. DRONES BLOW AWAY SUSPECTED AL QAEDA IN PAKISTAN, AFGHANISTAN, YEMEN, SOMALIA, IN LIBYA VETERANS OF AL QAEDA'S WAR AGAINST U.S. TROOPS IN IRAQ ALONG WITH OTHER FUNDAMENTALISTS SHOULDER TO SHOULDER WITH CIA WITH AMERICA GIVING THEM AIR COVER AND FRONT LINE SUPPORT AGAINST THE ARMED FORCES OF THE GOVERNMENT OF LIBYA.*(7). NOT THE FIRST TIME CIA HAS USED AL QAEDA AND OTHER ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALISTS TO ITS PURPOSES.*(8)


WITHIN A MATTER OF DAYS THE WHOLE IMPERIAL WEST SWUNG INTO ACTION - WARNINGS FROM INTERNATIONAL COURTS, SEIZURE OF LIBYA'S $BILLIONS OF ASSETS ABROAD, EMBARGOES, SANCTIONS, THREATS OF MILITARY ACTION THEN FINALLY A UN SECURITY COUNCIL GO AHEAD. (PROPHETICALLY, JUST A YEAR AGO, GADHAFI, SPEAKING BEFORE THE UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY, HAD CALLED THE SECURITY COUNCIL "THE COUNCIL OF TERROR," FOR ALL THE POST-COLONIAL WARS ON SMALL NATIONS IT HAS APPROVED AND PARTICIPATED IN.)

IN TUNISIA, EGYPT, YEMEN AND BAHRAIN HUNDREDS DIED, AND ARE STILL DYING IN NONVIOLENT PROTESTS. IN EACH COUNTY ALL THE DEATHS WERE ATTRIBUTED TO POLICE, SECURITY OR GOVERNMENT ARMED FORCES IN DAILY ACCOUNTS FROM THE VERY FIRST DAYS OF PROTESTS. YET NO ARMED REBELLION TOOK PLACE. WE HAVE SEEN VIDEO SHOTS OF CADRE OF THE PROTESTORS IN ACTION MAINTAINING CALM AND KEEPING THEIR PEOPLE NONVIOLENT. EVEN AFTER TERRIBLE LOSS OF LIFE THE CONTINUED TO PREVENT VIOLENCE AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT.

TWO INFAMOUS U.S. BACKED DICTATORS HAD ALREADY BEEN OUSTED PEACEFULLY THOUGH MANY PROTESTORS WERE MURDERED. IN YEMEN SNIPERS CONTINUED TO KILL PROTESTERS, THE HUGE DEMONSTRATIONS CAUSING WORRY IN WASHINGTON. MASS PROTESTS IN BAHRAIN WERE THREATENING THE HOME OF THE U.S. SIXTH FLEET.

THEN IN MID FEBRUARY, THE EMPIRE STRUCK BACK WITH CLEVER VENGENCE: ARMED INSURGENTS IN PROSPEROUS SOCIALIST LIBYA, A MEDIA CAMPAIGN OF DISINFORMATION. COORDINATED GANGS WITH HEAVY WEAPONS OCCUPIED THE CENTERS OF WHOLE CITIES AND US NATO BEGAN BOMBING TO PROTECT THEM FROM DEFEAT. BAHRAIN, AT THE SAME TIME, WAS INVADED BY U.S. ALLY SAUDI ARABIA, ITS ARMED FORCES REPRESSING THE DEMONSTRATORS AND ASSISTING IN THEIR PERSECUTION. WASHINGTON IMPORTED A LEADER FOR THE REBELLION IN LIBYA WHO HAS SPENT THE PAST 20 YEARS LIVING WITH NO KNOWN SOURCE OF INCOME A COUPLE OF MILES FROM THE CIA'S HEADQUARTERS IN VIRGINIA; GEN. KHALIFA HIFTER WAS ONCE A TOP MILITARY OFFICER FOR LIBYAN LEADER MOAMMAR GADHAFI. MCCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS , 3/26/11

U.S. EMPIRE WATCHERS NEED NOT BE SO DEEPLY VERSED IN HISTORY AND CURRENT AFFAIRS (MADE ALL THE MORE DIFFICULT WITH TV WATCHING AND NEWSPAPER AND TABLOID READING) TO KNOW THAT THE CIVIL WAR CONJURED UP IN LIBYA IS JUST ONE OF MORE THAN SIXTY ARRANGED SINCE 1945, TO DIVIDE, DESTROY AND CONQUER FOR IMPERIAL NEOCOLONIALIST CONTROL OVER VULNERABLE SMALL NATIONS. THE UNDERCLASSES OF THE U.S. POPULATION AND THE POOR IN THE THIRD WORLD USE THEIR SENSE OF SMELL TO KNOW THAT THE SAME GAME IS GOING ON IN LIBYA. INVASION EXPERIENCED FIDEL CASTRO, AFTER THE FIRST TWO DAYS OF DISTURBANCE EXPECTED THAT NATO WOULD USE IT AS A PRETEXT TO INVADE.

WILL HISTORY BOOKS CREDIT ALL THIS BLOODSHED TO GADHAFI HAVING "TARGETED CIVILIANS PEACEFULLY DEMONSTRATING FOR DEMOCRACY?" OR WILL A PLOT BE UNCOVERED TO STAGE A PRETEXT FOR CIVIL WAR WITH A LOT OF ORCHESTRATED SHOOTING, KILLING AND FALSE FLAG OPERATIONS LED BY A CIA FAMOUS FOR A COVERT PROVOKING OF CONFUSION AND VIOLENCE WHILE HEAVILY ARMED ELEMENTS STOOD READY TO BE ACTIVATED (AS IN PAST CIA OVERTHOWS)?

THE VERY FIRST DAY, 2/15 SAW POLICE STATIONS ATTACKED -NO DEATHS. THE SECOND DAY MORE STATIONS ATTACKED AND 6 DEATHS. ON THE FOURTH DAY, VARIOUS TRUSTWORTHY SOURCES REPORT THE REBELS EXECUTED AT LEAST FIFTY-TWO - TWICE THE TOTAL DEATHS AGREED UPON FOR THE THIRD DAY. THERE ARE SOME HORRIFICALLY GRUESOME CELL PHONE VIDEOS ON THE INTERNET OF GRISLY HANGINGS, BEHEADINGS, BLOODY BEATINGS OF BLACKS AND OTHERS LOYAL TO THEIR GOVERNMENT. (LIBYA HAS A BLACK POPULATION, MOSTLY IN SOUTH LIBYA, OF HALF A MILLION. LIBYA UNDER GADDAFI HAS ELIMINATED A GOOD DEAL OF RACE DISCRIMINATION, SO BLACK LIBYANS ARE ESPECIALLY LOYAL TO THE GOVERNMENT.) SOUTH KOREANS AND MOST ALL CHINESE CONSTRUCTION SITES HAVE REPORTED ATTACKS BY ARMED ANTI-GOVERNMENT GANGS.*( 6)

OBAMA, WITH HELP FROM EUROPEAN EMPIRES OF YESTERYEAR, PROCLAIMS HE IS PROTECTING [ERSTWHILE COLONIALLY OCCUPIED] LIBYANS. PROTECTING THEM FROM A SUCCESSFUL GOVERNMENT LED BY THEIR REVOLUTIONARY SOCIALIST LEADER COLONEL GADDAFI AT THE SAME TIME HE PROTECTS, FOR A SECOND TIME, AFGHANIS FROM HAVING AN AFGHAN GOVERNMENT, AND IS PROTECTING IRAQIS, SOMALIS, YEMENI AND PAKISTANIS FROM THEIR OWN CHOSEN GOVERNMENT, JUST AS THE U.S. ONCE PROTECTED LEBANESE FROM THEIR GOVERNMENT, AND PROTECTED IRANIANS FROM THEIR DEMOCRACY.

IN THE SAME WAY, AMERICA HAS PROTECTED HAITIANS , CONGOLESE, CHILEANS, DOMINICANS AND GUATEMALANS FROM THEIR ELECTED PRESIDENTS, THE VIETNAMESE FROM THEIR POPULAR HERO HO CHI MINH, PROTECTED THE GOVERNMENT OF EL SALVADOR FROM SALVADORIANS, PROTECTED GRENADIANS, LAOTIANS, GREEKS AND KOREANS FROM THEIR OWN PEOPLE, PROTECTED INDONESIANS FROM OVERPOPULATION, AND TRIED TO PROTECT CUBANS FROM THEIR REVOLUTION AND FIDEL CASTRO, ALL WITH EITHER U.S. NAVY SHELLING FROM THE SEA, BOMBS, MISSILES AND NAPALM FROM THE AIR, WMD IN THEIR COUNTRY, U.S. TROOPS IN THEIR CITIES, A DEADLY CIA, PREDATORY INVESTMENT BANKS, OR ALL OF THE ABOVE AT THE SAME TIME, WITH COMMERCIAL MASS MEDIA TV PROMOTING WAR AND A PUPPET UN SECRETARY GENERAL COLLUDING.

THERE IS AN IMPERATIVE INVOLVED TODAY IN LIBYA AND THE REST OF THE MIDDLE EAST THAT IS MORE BASIC THAN KEEPING U.S. BACKED DICTATORS IN POWER OR ELIMINATING NON-CAPITALIST REGIMES.THE SAME IMPERATIVE HAS DRIVEN WAR UPON PLANET EARTH FOR CENTURIES. IT IS IMPERATIVE FOR PRIVATE INVESTMENT FINANCIAL CAPITAL TO ACCUMULATE, AND ACCUMULATE AT AN EVER INCREASING RATE. THIS IS A COMPLEX MODERN AUTO-FUNCTIONING FINANCIAL INVESTMENT IMPERATIVE PUSHING THE WEALTHIEST OWNERS OF CAPITAL INTO EVER NEW VARIATIONS OF THE SAME ANCIENT CONSPIRACY OF THE RICH AGAINST THE REST OF US.

WHILE A LOVELY AND WELL KEPT LIBYA IS BEING DESTROYED BEFORE OUR VERY EYES AND READIED FOR HIGHLY PROFITABLE INVESTMENTS, UP AND COMING WARS ARE BEING PLANNED VERY SERIOUSLY.

EVEN CHINA AND RUSSIA CAN NOT IMPEDE THE IMPERATIVE OF THE ACCUMULATING PRIVATE CAPITAL AGGREGATE. THOUGH GADDHAFI HAD FAVORED RUSSIA AND CHINA IN THE EXPORT OF LIBYAN OIL AND RAW MATERIALS, THE LEADERS OF BOTH OF THESE EMERGING CAPITALIST GIANTS FELT CONSTRAINED TO ABSTAIN ON THE UN ATTACK RESOLUTION RATHER THAN USE THEIR VETO IN THE NAME OF SANITY.*(10)

TOO BAD. THE WORLD'S ECOLOGY MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE THE ADJUNCT IMPERATIVE OF CONTINUOUS WAR FOR MAXIMUM ACCUMULATION OF PRIVATE CAPITAL.*(11)

STEPHEN LENDMAN ALERTS US:
IN APRIL 3, AFP HEADLINED, "LIBYA WARNS OF DISASTER IF 'GREAT MAN-MADE RIVER' HIT,"SAYING:

IF GMMR IS BOMBED, IT COULD CAUSE A "HUMAN AND ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTER." LIBYA HAS THREE UNDERGROUND PIPELINE SYSTEMS, FOR OIL, GAS, AND WATER. IF ONE IS HIT, THE OTHERS ARE AFFECTED, POTENTIALLY DISASTROUSLY.

IF PART OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS DAMAGED, THE WHOLE THING IS AFFECTED AND THE MASSIVE ESCAPE OF WATER COULD CAUSE A CATASTROPHE, DEPRIVING MILLIONS OF LIBYANS OF FRESH WATER, 70% OF 6.5 PEOPLE FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION, IRRIGATION, AND OTHER PURPOSES, NOT TO MENTION GADDAFI'S DREAM TO CONTINUE TURNING THE DESERT GREEN.*(12)


WITH ALL THE STRONGEST CAPITALIST NATIONS' FIREPOWER AGAINST WHAT NOW REMAINS OF AN ARAB SOCIALIST SOCIETY, OF ITS BLASTED ARMY AND ITS HEROIC LOYAL CITIZEN MILITIAS, IT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE THAT GADDAFI AND HIS LIBYA WILL SURVIVE, LET ALONE BE ABLE TURN THIS BLITZKRIEG INTO A SECOND BAY OF PIGS DEFEAT FOR WEAPONIZED PRIVATE CAPITAL.

POSTSCRIPT:
SEEMS THE BOSTON GLOBE MIGHT HAVE DEFECTED FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES LED U.S. CORPORATE MEDIA CARTEL BACKING THE OVERTHROW OF THE GOVERNMENT OF LIBYA. HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH IS ALSO DISTANCING ITSELF FROM OUTRIGHT PRO-INSURGENCY LIES. CLICK HERE
FALSE PRETENSE FOR WAR IN LIBYA? 
EVIDENCE IS NOW IN THAT PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA GROSSLY EXAGGERATED THE HUMANITARIAN THREAT TO JUSTIFY MILITARY ACTION IN LIBYA. THE PRESIDENT CLAIMED THAT INTERVENTION WAS NECESSARY TO PREVENT A "BLOODBATH'' IN BENGHAZI, LIBYA'S SECOND-LARGEST CITY AND LAST REBEL STRONGHOLD.

BUT HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH HAS RELEASED DATA ON MISURATA, THE NEXT-BIGGEST CITY IN LIBYA AND SCENE OF PROTRACTED FIGHTING, REVEALING THATMOAMMAR KHADAFY IS NOT DELIBERATELY MASSACRING CIVILIANS BUT RATHER NARROWLY TARGETING THE ARMED REBELS WHO FIGHT AGAINST HIS GOVERNMENT.

"MISURATA'S POPULATION IS ROUGHLY 400,000. IN NEARLY TWO MONTHS OF WAR, ONLY 257 PEOPLE -- INCLUDING COMBATANTS -- HAVE DIED THERE. OF THE 949 WOUNDED, ONLY 22 -- LESS THAN 3 PERCENT -- ARE WOMEN. IF KHADAFY WERE INDISCRIMINATELY TARGETING CIVILIANS, WOMEN WOULD COMPRISE ABOUT HALF THE CASUALTIES. "

[YOUR AUTHOR WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT ON THE EVENING OF THE PUBLICATION OF THIS ARTICLE, DIANE SAWYER, ON ABC'S WORLD REPORT, WITH A PAINED EXPRESSION ON HER FACE SHOWED A VIDEO OF A YOUNG GIRL ON CAMERA IN MISURATA ASKING PATHETICALLY "WHY IS GADDAFI KILLING US?"

A TRUTHFUL REPORT FROM HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH HERE QUOTED IN THIS BOSTON GLOBE OPED DOES LITTLE TO ADDRESS THE COMPLICITY OF NEW YORK BASED HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH IN HAVING STOKED THE CREATION OF THE NOW FIRMLY HELD WIDESPREAD BELIEF THAT IN THE THIRD WEEK OF FEBRUARY OF PEACEFUL PROTESTERS WERE SHOT TO PIECES ON GADDAFI'S ORDERS. THE MYTH CREATED NOW ALLOWS EVERYONE ONE IN BUSINESS TO RUN WITH IT.]

"OBAMA INSISTED THAT PROSPECTS WERE GRIM WITHOUT INTERVENTION. "IF WE WAITED ONE MORE DAY, BENGHAZI " COULD SUFFER A MASSACRE THAT WOULD HAVE REVERBERATED ACROSS THE REGION AND STAINED THE CONSCIENCE OF THE WORLD.'' THUS, THE PRESIDENT CONCLUDED, "PREVENTING GENOCIDE'' JUSTIFIED US MILITARY ACTION.

BUT INTERVENTION DID NOT PREVENT GENOCIDE, BECAUSE NO SUCH BLOODBATH WAS IN THE OFFING. TO THE CONTRARY, BY EMBOLDENING REBELLION, US INTERFERENCE HAS PROLONGED LIBYA'S CIVIL WAR AND THE RESULTANT SUFFERING OF INNOCENTS.

THE BEST EVIDENCE THAT KHADAFY DID NOT PLAN GENOCIDE IN BENGHAZI IS THAT HE DID NOT PERPETRATE IT IN THE OTHER CITIES HE HAD RECAPTURED EITHER FULLY OR PARTIALLY -- INCLUDING ZAWIYA, MISURATA, AND AJDABIYA, WHICH TOGETHER HAVE A POPULATION GREATER THAN BENGHAZI.

LIBYAN FORCES DID KILL HUNDREDS AS THEY REGAINED CONTROL OF CITIES. COLLATERAL DAMAGE IS INEVITABLE IN COUNTER-INSURGENCY. ...

DESPITE UBIQUITOUS CELLPHONES EQUIPPED WITH CAMERAS AND VIDEO, THERE IS NO GRAPHIC EVIDENCE OF DELIBERATE MASSACRE. IMAGES ABOUND OF VICTIMS KILLED OR WOUNDED IN CROSSFIRE -- EACH ONE A TRAGEDY -- BUT THAT IS URBAN WARFARE, NOT GENOCIDE.

NOR DID KHADAFY EVER THREATEN CIVILIAN MASSACRE IN BENGHAZI, AS OBAMA ALLEGED . THE "NO MERCY'' WARNING, OF MARCH 17, TARGETED REBELS ONLY, AS REPORTED BY THE NEW YORK TIMES, WHICH NOTED THAT LIBYA'S LEADER PROMISED AMNESTY FOR THOSE "WHO THROW THEIR WEAPONS AWAY.'' KHADAFY EVEN OFFERED THE REBELS AN ESCAPE ROUTE AND OPEN BORDER TO EGYPT"

HEALTH, TRAINING, REHABILITATION, EDUCATION, HOUSING, FAMILY ISSUES, AND DISABILITY AND OLD-AGE BENEFITS ARE ALL REGULATED BY ... THE SOCIAL CARE FUND .THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IS NOT PURELY STATE-RUN BUT RATHER A MIXED SYSTEM OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE CARE. IN COMPARISON TO OTHER STATES IN THE MIDDLE EAST, THE HEALTH STATUS OF THE POPULATION IS RELATIVELY GOOD. CHILDHOOD IMMUNIZATION IS ALMOST UNIVERSAL. THE CLEAN WATER SUPPLY HAS INCREASED, AND SANITATION HAS BEEN IMPROVED. THE COUNTRY'S MAJOR HOSPITALS ARE IN TRIPOLI AND BENGHAZI, AND PRIVATE HEALTH CLINICS AND DIAGNOSTIC CENTERS, OFFERING NEWER EQUIPMENT AND BETTER SERVICE, COMPETE WITH THE PUBLIC SECTOR. THE NUMBER OF MEDICAL DOCTORS AND DENTISTS REPORTEDLY INCREASED SEVENFOLD BETWEEN 1970 AND 1985, PRODUCING A RATIO OF ONE DOCTOR PER 673 CITIZENS. IN 1985 ABOUT ONE-THIRD OF THE DOCTORS IN THE LIBYA WERE NATIVE-BORN, WITH THE REMAINDER BEING PRIMARILY EXPATRIATE FOREIGNERS. THE NUMBER OF HOSPITAL BEDS TRIPLED IN THIS SAME TIME PERIOD. MALARIA HAS BEEN ERADICATED, AND SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE AGAINST TRACHOMA AND LEPROSY. IN 1985 THE INFANT MORTALITY RATE WAS 84 PER 1,000; BY 2004, THE U.S. AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT ESTIMATED THAT THE INFANT MORTALITY RATE HAD DROPPED TO 25.7 PER 1,000. ...

ONE DOES REMEMBER TWO PLANES DEFECTING TO MALTA, TWO OTHERS FALLING OUT OF THE SKY, ONE SHOT DOWN OVER THE OCEAN. NO PICTURES OF PLANES BOMBING CITIES. NO PROOF THAT ORDERS WERE GIVEN TO DO SO.

EVEN IN DERNA TODAY, A NUMBER OF CONSPIRATORS WERE EXECUTED. THEY WERE LOCKED UP IN THE HOLDING CELLS OF A POLICE STATION BECAUSE THEY RESISTED, AND SOME DIED BURNING INSIDE THE BUILDING."

"HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH SHORTLY AFTER SENT SOMEONE TO THE EAST OF LIBYA, AND THERE HE FOUND OUT THAT ALL THE 156 CAPTURED PEOPLE, WHICH THE REBELS DESCRIBED AS "AFRICAN MERCENARIES", WERE IN FACT NOT FOREIGN MERCENARIES, BUT LIBYANS WITH BLACK SKIN COLOR, AND THAT THEY SERVED AS REGULAR SOLDIERS IN THE ARMY OF LIBYA. HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH FOUND NO INDICATION THAT THE LIBYAN GOVERNMENT, AS CLAIMED BY THE REBELS, USED MERCENARIES AT ALL TO QUELL THE UPRISING IN EASTERN LIBYA.
THE ACTUALLY EXISTING STRONG SUPPORT FOR MUAMMAR GADDAFI BY BLACK-SKINNED LIBYANS HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH EXPLAINED WITH THE FACT THAT MUAMMAR GADDAFI DID A LOT IN THE PAST TO END THE DISCRIMINATION AGAINST BLACK PEOPLE IN LIBYA. SO IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE THAT THE REBELS HUNTED BLACK-SKINNED PEOPLE AND, REGARDLESS WHETHER THEY WERE LIBYAN SOLDIERS OR FOREIGN REFUGEES OF POVERTY, EXECUTED THEM AS A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE IF POSSIBLE." THE BRITISH GUARDIAN REPORTED FROM BENGHAZI

ON FEBRUARY 24TH, SHORTLY AFTER THE BEGINNINGBRITISH TELEGRAPH ALREADY REPORTED SOME MORE DETAILS REGARDING THE OBSERVANCE OF HUMAN RIGHTS BY THE NATO-BACKED GOVERNMENT OPPONENTS IN THE EAST OF LIBYA:
"AHMED AHMED IBRAHIM SHOWED VIDEO FOOTAGE HE HAD CAPTURED ON HIS MOBILE TELEPHONE OF AN AFRICAN MERCENARY HANGING FROM A MEAT-HOOK IN AN AL BAYDA DOORWAY. " MASQUERARDING AS PRO-GADDAFI PARTISANS, THEY DUPED THE MERCENARIES, WHO WERE DESCRIBED AS FRENCH-SPEAKING AFRICANS,CAPTURED THEM AND THEN DRAGGED THEM INTO THE STREETS OF AL BAYDA " MR. IBRAHIM, WHO WORKS IN A CAFE, SAID HE BELIEVES MOST WERE EXECUTED ALTHOUGH HE ONLY WITNESSED TWO SLAIN FOREIGNERS."

THE CRITERION "AFRICAN" HERE DOES NOT REFER -- OF COURSE, BECAUSE ALL LIBYANS ARE AFRICANS -- TO AN AFRICAN ORIGIN, BUT TO THE COLOR OF THE SKIN: "AFRICAN" HERE MEANS PEOPLE WITH BLACK SKIN. WHAT THE TELEGRAP H DESCRIBED IS APPLIED TO PEOPLE WITH BLACK SKIN, WHICH THE CIA-BACKED "REBELS" HAD IDENTIFIED AS "FOREIGN MERCENARIES.

LIBYA: REBELS EXECUTE BLACK IMMIGRANTS WHILE FORCES KIDNAP OTHERS 
SOMALILANDPRESS , SOMALIA
ADDIS ABABA -- WHILE MUCH OF THE WORLD'S ATTENTION IS FOCUSING ON CRUDE OIL PRICES AND THE LIBYAN PIPELINES IN THE EAST OF THE COUNTRY,HUMAN RIGHT GROUPS SAY REBELS ARE COMMITTING CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.

IN EAST LIBYA, AFRICAN HUNT BEGAN AS TOWNS AND CITIES BEGAN FALL UNDER THE CONTROL OF LIBYAN REBELS, MOBS AND GANGS. THEY STARTED TO DETAIN, INSULT, RAPE AND EVEN EXECUTING BLACK IMMIGRANTS, STUDENTS AND REFUGEES.

ACCORDING TO SOMALI REFUGEES IN LIBYA, AT LEASTFIVE SOMALIS FROM SOMALILAND AND SOMALIA WERE EXECUTED IN TRIPOLI AND BENGHAZI BY ANTI-GADDAFI MOBS. DOZENS OF REFUGEES AND IMMIGRANTS WORKERS FROM ETHIOPIA, ERITREA, GHANA, NIGERIA, CHAD, MALI AND NIGER HAVE BEEN KILLED, SOME OF THEM WERE LED INTO THE DESERT AND STABBED TO DEATH. BLACK LIBYAN MEN RECEIVING MEDICAL CARE IN HOSPITALS IN BENGHAZI WERE REPORTEDLY ABDUCTED BY ARMED REBELS. THEY ARE PART OF MORE THAN 200 AFRICAN IMMIGRANTS HELD IN SECRET LOCATIONS BY THE REBELS.

IN MANY DISPUTES INVOLVING LIBYAN RESIDENTS AND BLACK AFRICANS, THE LIBYANS ARE TURNING IN THE AFRICANS AS MERCENARIES.

THOUSANDS MORE AFRICANS CAUGHT UP IN THIS MERCENARY HYSTERIA ARE TERRIFIED. SOME BARRICADED THEMSELVES IN THEIR HOMES, WHILE OTHERS HID IN THE DESERT. INSULTED, THREATENED, BEATEN, CHASED AND ROBBED. THEIR ONLY CRIME WAS BEING BLACK AND THEREFORE TREATED AS "MERCENARIES" OF GADDAFI.

WHILE THE AIRING OF GADDAFI'S SO CALLED "BLACK MERCENARIES" BY WESTERN MEDIA HAS IGNITED THE ISSUE, SOME SAY AN XENOPHOBIC ATTITUDE TOWARDS THESE REFUGEES AND LABOURERS HAS EXISTED FOR YEARS.... IN MANY SITUATIONS, GADDAFI AND HIS INNER CIRCLE PREFERRED BLACK AFRICANS AND LIBYANS FROM THE SOUTH OVER LIBYANS FROM THE EAST. NOW THE ANGRY MOBS USING THE REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT ACROSS ARABIA AND NORTH AFRICA ARE HUNTING DOWN BLACK PEOPLE."

"DOZENS OF CHADIANS HAVE KNOWN THIS SAD FATE," HE SAID.
THE STATEMENT SAID SEVERAL CHADIAN NATIONALS HAD BEEN ARRESTED, SOME WERE "PARADED ON TELEVISION AS MERCENARIES AND SOMETIMES EXECUTED" DESPITE DENIALS THAT LIBYA HAD RECRUITED ANY MERCENARIES FROM ITS SOUTHERN NEIGHBOUR.
THE GOVERNMENT OF CHAD HAD SAID ABOUT 300,000 OF ITS CITIZENS RESIDED IN LIBYA BEFORE THE CRISIS.
"THE CHADIAN GOVERNMENT IS CALLING ON INTERNATIONAL COALITION FORCES INVOLVED IN LIBYA AND INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANISATION TO STOP THESE ABUSES AGAINST CHADIANS AND OTHER MIGRANT AFRICA WORKERS," THE STATEMENT SAID.

" OUR MAN IN TRIPOLI": US-NATO SPONSORED ISLAMIC TERRORISTS INTEGRATE LIBYA'S PRO-DEMOCRACY OPPOSITION BY MICHEL CHOSSUDOVSKY,GLOBALRESEARCH, 4/3/11

"THERE ARE VARIOUS FACTIONS WITHIN THE LIBYAN OPPOSITION: ROYALISTS, DEFECTORS FROM THE GADDAFI REGIME INCLUDING THE MINISTER OF JUSTICE AND MORE RECENTLY THE FOREIGN MINISTER, MOUSSA MOUSSA, MEMBERS OF THE LIBYAN ARMED FORCES, THE NATIONAL FRONT FOR THE SALVATION OF LIBYA (NFSL) AND THE NATIONAL CONFERENCE FOR THE LIBYAN OPPOSITION (NCLO) WHICH ACTS AS AN UMBRELLA ORGANIZATION.

RARELY ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE WESTERN MEDIA, THE LIBYA ISLAMIC FIGHTING GROUP (LIFG -- AL-JAMAA AL-ISLAMIYYAH AL-MUQATILAH BI LIBYA), IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE LIBYAN OPPOSITION. THE LIGF, WHICH IS ALIGNED WITH AL-QAEDA, IS IN THE FRONTLINE OF THE ARMED INSURRECTION."

CHOSSUDOVSKY, AN EMERITUS PROFESSOR OF ECONOMICS AT OTTAWA UNIVERSITY, AND DIRECTOR OF MONTREAL'S CENTRE FOR RESEARCH ON GLOBALIZATION, NOTES THAT THE PARAMILITARY LIFG WAS FOUNDED IN AFGHANISTAN BY VETERAN LIBYAN MUJAHEDEENS OF THE SOVIET-AFGHAN WAR". THERE ARE CONTRADICTORY REPORTS AS TO WHETHER THE LIFG IS PART OF AL QAEDA OR IS ACTING AS AN INDEPENDENT JIHADIST ENTITY. ONE REPORT SUGGESTS THAT IN 2007 THE LIFG BECAME "A SUBSIDIARY OF AL QAEDA, LATER ASSUMING THE NAME OF AL QAEDA IN THE ISLAMIC MAGHREB (AQIM).'"

DURING ITS LIFETIME, "THE LIFG WAS SUPPORTED NOT ONLY BY THE CIA AND THE BRITISH SECRET INTELLIGENCE SERVICE BUT ALSO BY FACTIONS WITHIN LIBYA'S INTELLIGENCE AGENCY, LED BY FORMER INTELLIGENCE HEAD AND FOREIGN MINISTER MOUSSA KOUSSA, WHO DEFECTED TO THE UNITED KINGDOM IN LATE MARCH 2011." ...

LIBYA REBELS: GADDAFI COULD BE RIGHT ABOUT AL-QAEDA -
TWO DOCUMENTS SUGGEST NORTHEAST LIBYA, CENTRE OF REBELLION, IS AN AL-QAEDA HOTSPOT. BY ALEXANDER COCKBURN, FIRST POST , 3/24/11
" A SECRET CABLE TO THE STATE DEPARTMENT FROM THE US EMBASSY IN TRIPOLI IN 2008, PART OF THE WIKILEAKS TROVE, ENTITLED "EXTREMISM IN EASTERN LIBYA", WHICH REVEALED THAT THIS AREA IS RIFE WITH ANTI-AMERICAN, PRO-JIHAD SENTIMENT.

ACCORDING TO THE 2008 CABLE, THE MOST TROUBLING ASPECT "... IS THE PRIDE THAT MANY EASTERN LIBYANS, PARTICULARLY THOSE IN AND AROUND DERNAH, APPEAR TO TAKE IN THE ROLE THEIR NATIVE SONS HAVE PLAYED IN THE INSURGENCY IN IRAQ " [AND THE] ABILITY OF RADICAL IMAMS TO PROPAGATE MESSAGES URGING SUPPORT FOR AND PARTICIPATION IN JIHAD."

THE SECOND DOCUMENT, OR RATHER SET OF DOCUMENTS, ARE THE SO-CALLED SINJAR RECORDS, CAPTURED AL-QAEDA DOCUMENTS THAT FELL INTO AMERICAN HANDS IN 2007. THEY WERE DULY ANALYZED BY THE COMBATING TERRORISM CENTER AT THE US MILITARY ACADEMY AT WEST POINT. AL-QAEDA IS A BUREAUCRATIC OUTFIT AND THE RECORDS CONTAIN PRECISE DETAILS ON PERSONNEL, INCLUDING THOSE WHO CAME TO IRAQ TO FIGHT

AMERICAN AND COALITION FORCES AND, WHEN NECESSARY, COMMIT SUICIDE.

THE WEST POINT ANALYSTS' STATISTICAL STUDY OF THE AL-QAEDA PERSONNEL RECORDS CONCLUDES THAT ONE COUNTRY PROVIDED "FAR MORE" FOREIGN FIGHTERS IN PER CAPITA TERMS THAN ANY OTHER: NAMELY, LIBYA.
THE RECORDS SHOW THAT THE "VAST MAJORITY OF LIBYAN FIGHTERS THAT INCLUDED THEIR HOME TOWN IN THE SINJAR RECORDS RESIDED IN THE COUNTRY'S NORTHEAST". BENGHAZI PROVIDED MANY VOLUNTEERS. SO DID DERNAH, A TOWN ABOUT 200 KMS EAST OF BENGHAZI, IN WHICH AN ISLAMIC EMIRATE WAS DECLARED WHEN THE REBELLION AGAINST GADDAFI STARTED.

LIBYAN, ONCE A DETAINEE, IS NOW A U.S. ALLY OF SORTS 
BY ROD NORDLAND AND SCOTT SHANE NY TIMES, 4/24/11

DARNAH, LIBYA -- "FOR MORE THAN FIVE YEARS, ABU SUFIAN IBRAHIM AHMED HAMUDA BIN QUMU WAS A PRISONER AT THE GUANTáNAMO BAY PRISON, JUDGED "A PROBABLE MEMBER OF AL QAEDA" BY THE ANALYSTS THERE.

BASED ON A HUGE TROVE OF SECRET DOCUMENTS LEAKED LAST YEAR TO THE ANTI-SECRECY ORGANIZATION WIKILEAKS AND MADE AVAILABLE TO THE NEW YORK TIMES

TODAY, MR. QUMU, 51, IS A NOTABLE FIGURE IN THE LIBYAN REBELS' FIGHT TO OUST COL. MUAMMAR EL-QADDAFI, REPORTEDLY A LEADER OF A RAGTAG BAND OF FIGHTERS KNOWN AS THE DARNAH BRIGADE. THE FORMER ENEMY AND PRISONER OF THE UNITED STATES IS NOW AN ALLY OF SORTS, A REMARKABLE TURNABOUT RESULTING FROM SHIFTING AMERICAN POLICIES RATHER THAN ANY OBVIOUS CHANGE IN MR. QUMU.

HE WAS A TANK DRIVER IN THE LIBYAN ARMY IN THE 1980S, WHEN THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY WAS SPENDING BILLIONS TO SUPPORT RELIGIOUS MILITANTS TRYING TO DRIVE SOVIET TROOPS OUT OF AFGHANISTAN. MR. QUMU MOVED TO AFGHANISTAN IN THE EARLY 1990S, JUST AS OSAMA BIN LADEN AND OTHER FORMER MUJAHEDEEN WERE VIOLENTLY TURNING AGAINST THEIR FORMER BENEFACTOR, THE UNITED STATES.

HE WAS CAPTURED IN PAKISTAN AFTER THE SEPT. 11, 2001, TERRORIST ATTACKS, ACCUSED OF BEING A MEMBER OF THE MILITANT LIBYAN ISLAMIC FIGHTING GROUP, AND SENT TO GUANTáNAMO -- IN PART BECAUSE OF INFORMATION PROVIDED BY COLONEL QADDAFI'S GOVERNMENT.

" "HE WAS KNOWN AS ONE OF THE EXTREMIST COMMANDERS OF THE AFGHAN ARABS,' " 

WHEN THAT GUANTáNAMO ASSESSMENT WAS WRITTEN, THE UNITED STATES WAS WORKING CLOSELY WITH COLONEL QADDAFI'S INTELLIGENCE SERVICE AGAINST TERRORISM. NOW, THE UNITED STATES ... IS BACKING WITH AIR POWER THE REBELS, INCLUDING MR. QUMU. 


LIBYA: WIKILEAKS CABLES WARN OF EXTREMIST BELIEFS BY HEIDI BLAKE

LEAKED DIPLOMATIC CABLES OBTAINED BY THE WIKILEAKS DISCLOSE FEARS THAT EASTERN LIBYA IS BEING OVERRUN BY EXTREMISTS INTENT ON OVERTHROWING COLONEL GADDAFI'S REGIME.
CLICK HERE (FOR BENGHAZI BEING THE CLOSES AFRICAN PORT TO ITALY, IT HAS APPARENTLY BECOME A CRIME CENTER FOR THE LUCRATIVE HUMAN TRAFFIC TRADE WITH A LOT OF TOUGH HOMBRES IN TOWN.)

THE REVOLT STARTED IN BENGHAZI IN EASTERN LIBYA. A VERY IMPORTANT POINT NOT MENTIONED ANYWHERE IN THE INTERNATIONAL MEDIA IS THE FACT THAT DUE TO GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION, BEING ONE OF THE CLOSEST POINT TO EUROPE FROM THE AFRICAN CONTINENT, BENGHAZI HAS OVER THE PAST 15 YEARS OR SO BECOME THE EPICENTER OF AFRICAN MIGRATION TO EUROPE. THE HUMAN TRAFFICKING INDUSTRY, GREW INTO A BILLION DOLLAR A YEAR INDUSTRY IN BENGHAZI. WHEN THE FIRST DEMONSTRATIONS TOOK PLACE IN BENGHAZI THE LOOSE COALITION OF TERRORIST CELLS AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING GANGS IMMEDIATELY TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE TURMOIL TO ATTACK THE HIGH SECURITY PRISONS OUTSIDE OF BENGHAZI WHERE THEIR COMRADES WERE LOCKED UP.

US PAYMENTS TO ... AFGHAN WARLORDS THREATEN AMERICAN/NATO TROOP S 
ACCORDING TO SEPARATE CONGRESSIONAL AND SENATE REPORTS, THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT PAYS MORE THAN $2 BILLION FOR HOST NATION TRUCKING (HNT) OR IN LAYMAN'S TERMS, PRIVATE SECURITY FIRMS THAT PROTECT U.S. MILITARY CONVOYS AND MATERIALS IN DANGEROUS TRIBAL AREAS.

A REPORT TITLED "WARLORD, INC., EXTORTION AND CORRUPTION ALONG THE U.S. SUPPLY CHAIN IN AFGHANISTAN" WAS PUBLISHED BY CONGRESSMAN JOHN TIERNEY (D-MA) IN JUNE OF LAST YEAR. THE REPORT DETAILED THE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS SPENT TO PROTECT U.S. MILITARY SUPPLY CONVOYS IN AFGHANISTAN- THE MAJORITY OF THE MONEY IS PAID BY THE DOD THROUGH DEFENSE CONTRACTORS AND FINDS ITS WAY INTO THE HANDS OF TALIBAN LEADERS AND WARLORDS.

RAYMOND DAVIS: THE PLOT THICKENS 
EDITORIAL, TRIBUNE WITH INTERNATIONAL HEARLD TRIBUNE, 2/22/11

*(9) 
ONE PRESUMABLY CANNOT CORRECTLY UNDERSTAND THE EVENTS AND CHARACTER OF SOMEONE ELSE'S LIFE EXCEPT IN THE CONTEXT OF EVENTS, CONDITIONS AND CIRCUMSTANCES IN THE WORLD AROUND HIM OR HER.

FROM PAST HISTORY OF WESTERN IMPERIALISM, ONE MIGHT ASSUME THAT EVER SINCE A HANDSOME LOWEST RANK OFFICER GADHAFI OVERTHREW THE BRITISH INSTALLED KING IDRIS (1969) AND HAD LIBYA NATIONALIZE THE "FREE WORLD'S" OIL, M16, CIA, AND FRENCH SECRET SERVICE SHOULD HAVE HAD A RELATIVELY EASY TIME HATCHING PLOTS FOR GADDAFI'S ASSASSINATION WITHIN THE CONTENTIOUS TRIBAL SOCIETY OF THAT HALF-BERBER NATION. 

THIS JUST MIGHT PERHAPS EXPLAIN THE YEARS OF BACK AND FORTH COUNTER ASSASSINATION EPISODES CULMINATING, AFTER DECADES, WITH PRESIDENT REAGAN'S BOMBING ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE GADDAFI BY MISSILES FIRED ON HIS COMPOUND FROM PLANES OFF AN AIRCRAFT CARRIER THAT KILLED A HUNDRED LIBYANS, GADHAFI'S DAUGHTER AMONG THEM. THE "COMMUNITY OF NATIONS' NEVER HAS MUCH OF A PROBLEM WITH U.S. BOMBINGS. CONGLOMERATE MEDIA OF WESTERN SAVAGE CAPITALIST CIVILIZATION WENT ON BLAMING GADHAFI, AND NEVER PRESIDENT REAGAN. 

THEN CAME A BIZARRE ARRANGEMENT UNDER WHICH YEARS OF WESTERN NATION EMBARGOES AND SANCTIONS ON LIBYA WOULD BE LIFTED UPON LIBYA ALLOWING TWO LIBYANS TO STAND TRIAL IN SCOTLAND ON CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE AND LIBYA PAYING A INDEMNITY TO FAMILIES OF VICTIMS OF A PAMAM FLIGHT BOMBED OVER SCOTLAND BY PERSONS UNKNOWN. STRANGELY, AFTER A TRIAL ENDING IN CONVICTION THAT UNITED NATIONS SPECIAL RAPPORTEUR MICHAEL NOWAK AMONG OTHERS IN ATTENDANCE CALLED A "ABOMINABLE MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE," IN WHICH NO HARD EVIDENCE, WAS PRESENTED, LIBYA WAS ADMITTED TO THE "COMMUNITY OF NATIONS' AND ABLE TO TRADE ONCE MORE. 

WHEN ONE WHO WAS CONVICTED WAS RECENTLY RELEASED FOR BEING TERMINALLY ILL, OR BY COVERT AGREEMENT, WAS WELCOMED HOME AS A HERO FOR HIS WILLINGNESS TO SACRIFICE HIMSELF FOR THE NATIONS RESTITUTION, MAINSTREAM MEDIA HAD ITS CAPTIVE AUDIENCE HIT THE CEILING. ALL VERY CONFUSING, EXCEPT TO KNOW THAT SOMEHOW LIBYA'S OIL WAS SOMEHOW PLAYING A PART FROM THE TIME GADHAFI HAD LIBYA NATIONALIZE IT. SELF-RIGHTEOUS EMINENT WESTERN HERO POLITICIANS LIKE JOHN MCCAIN, THE TWENTY-FOUR TIME BOMBER OF HANOI, (BODY COUNT NOT AVAILABLE) FIGURES ON NO ONE READING UP ON THE TRIAL IN FOREIGN AND INDEPENDENT MEDIA, AS HE PROCLAIMS WITH TAKEN FOR GRANTED CERTAINTY THAT GADDAFI ORDERED THE BOMBING OF SAID PAN AM FLIGHT. 

GADDAFI'S, AS AN ARAB HAS BEEN OUTSPOKEN IN SUPPORT FOR PALESTINIANS IN THEIR STRUGGLE OVER THEIR LAND BEING TAKEN AWAY FROM THEM FIRSTLY BY THE COLONIAL-POWERS-FOUNDED-AND-CONTROLLED UNITED NATIONS, WHICH AWARDED MORE THAT 55% OF THE BRITISH MANDATE (COLONY) OF PALESTINE TO THE MAINLY EUROPEAN COLONIZING IMMIGRANT JEWISH THIRD OF THE THEN TOTAL POPULATION OF THE MANDATE. GADDAFI HOLDS THE BELIEF THAT THIS UN DECISION WAS MEANT TO BOTH ASSUAGE WEALTHY WHITE CAPITALISTS' CONSCIENCE FOR HAVING BUILT UP A POOR NAZI GERMANY TO WORLD #1 MILITARY POWER, KNOWINGLY INVESTING IN HITTERS WELL ANNOUNCED PLANS TO PERSECUTE JEWS, AND SECONDLY, TO ESTABLISH A COLONY OF EUROPEANS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OIL RICH ARAB WORLD.

PITILESSLY HATEFUL REMARKS ATTRIBUTED TO GADDAFI AFTER THE HORRIBLY INDISCRIMINATE MASSACRE AT ISRAEL'S LOD AIRPORT BY A JAPANESE TERRORIST GROUP, CAN BE UNDERSTOOD, IF NOT FORGIVEN, AS HAVING BEEN MADE BY SOMEONE SUFFERING THE AWARENESS THAT NONE OF THE MASSIVE NUMBER OF ISRAELI MASSACRES OF PALESTINIANS AND LEBANESE HAS EVER BEEN CONDEMNED BY EUROPEAN AND AMERICAN GOVERNMENTS OR IN THEIR NEWS MEDIA NOR BY THE ISRAELIS, ARABS ARE SUPPOSED TO CONDEMN THEIR RECIPROCATING ATROCITIES, BUT EXCEPT SOME EARNEST CRITICISM FROM SCANDINAVIA, ISRAELI MASSACRES ARE OF NO INTEREST IN WASHINGTON, LONDON AND PARIS.

THE SAME MIGHT BE SAID FOR THE DOUBLE STANDARD THAT RIGHTFULLY CONDEMNS FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR ARAB TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS BUT IS NOT EVEN INTERESTED IN AMERICAN AND EUROPEAN COVERT FUNDING OF TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS IN DOZENS OF THIRD WORLD NATIONS SINCE THE END WORLD WAR TWO AND BEFORE, INCLUDING THE CARTER/CIA FUNDING, ARMING AND TRAINING OF THE VERY FIRST FUNDAMENTALIST TERROR TO OVERTHROWN A WOMEN LIBERATING SOCIALIST KABUL GOVERNMENT AND DRAW THE SOVIETS INTO A TRAP. 

THIS IS THE "HOLIER THAN THOU' RACIST ATTITUDE IN A WORLD STILL BASICALLY OWNED AND MANIPULATED BY WEALTHY WHITE CAPITALISTS WITH FEW EXCEPTIONS.




WITH AFRICA EVER DOMINATED BY COMPETING EUROPEN INVESTMENTS AND COMPETING NATIONS FOR HEGEMONY AND PROFITS FUNDING TERROR AND CIVIL WAR TO THEIR INVESTMENTS ADVANTAGE, GADDAFI INEVITABLY HAS BEEN DRAWN IN TO SUPPORT WHICH EVER GROUP JUDGED TO BE FOR LIBERATION FROM CRUEL EUROPEAN EXPLOITATION, EUROPEANS IN THEIR CORPORATE CONTROLLED MEDIA ARE ABLE TO ACCUSE GADDAFI OF SUPPORTING TERROR. BUT IN THE CRUEL REALPOLITIK OF A NEO-COLONIZED AFRICA OF SHIFTING COVERT MACHINATIONS, NO ONE IS ABLE TO STAY CLEAN.


A MIXED BAG OF HORROR GROUPS FIGHTING IN CONSTANTLY PAID OFF ALLIANCES HAVE BEEN FUNDED AND SUPPORTED BY QUITE A LIST OF GOVERNMENTS, CORPORATIONS AND SECRET SERVICES OF EUOPEAN AND INTERWOVEN COMPRADOR AFRICA GOVERNMENTS 

BUT HERE WE COME TO THE END OF THE ABOVE LISTED ATTEMPTS TO DISMISS MUAMMAR GADDAFI AS A "MAD DOG' 

ON GADDAFI'S WATCH AND PROTECTION FROM EUROPEAN EXPLOITATION, LIBYA AS RISEN (ALONG WITH ALGERIA AND TUNISIA), FROM FROM THE DIRT POOR POVERTY OF THE REST OF AN AFRICA STILL CRUELLY ENSLAVED ECONOMICALLY, AFTER TWO CENTURIES OF MILITARY OCCUPATION AND THE EARLIER FORCED EXPORT OF MILLIONS TO SLAVE FOR FLEDGLING CAPITALISM IN THE WHITE MAN'S WORLD AT GUNPOINT. BUT ALGERIA HAS SUFFERED HORRIFIC VIOLENCE SINCE FREE OF FRENCH OCCUPATION, AND TUNISIA, THREE DECADES UNDER WESTERN INVESTMENT CAPITAL SUPPORTED DICTATOR BIN AIL, IS RANKED BY THE UN FAR BELOW (GADDAFI'S) LIBYA IN ITS HUMAN DEVELOPMENT INDEX 2010. LIBYA 53RD HIGHEST / TUNISIA 81ST (ALGERIA 84TH). 

GADHAFI LIKE NKRUMA BEFORE HIM, LEADS A MOVEMENT FOR AFRICAN UNITY AGAINST EUROPEAN ECONOMIC EXPLOITATION.
BEFORE THAT, GADDAFI WORKED FOR YEARS TO UNIFY THE ARAB NATION INTO ONE UNIFIED PAN-ARAB MOVEMENT FOLLOWING THE EFFORTS OF ANOTHER YOUNG REVOLUTIONARY OFFICER, GAMAL ABDEL NASSER OF EGYPT, WHO WAS ALSO REVILED IN THE ARAB WORLD DOMINATING INDUSTRIALIZED NATIONS. 

GADDAFI IS NO "RAMBLING SPEAKING," INAPPROPRIATELY DRESSED "MAD DOG" FOR THE UNDESERVING POOR, AND BY IMPERIALISM OPPRESSED, MAJORITY OF THE NEARLY SEVEN BILLION HUMAN BEINGS THAT MAKE UP HUMANITY, STRUGGLING TO SURVIVE ON A PLANET HALF OWNED MOSTLY CONTROLLED BY PRIVATE FINANCE INVESTMENT CAPITAL. FOR MAJORITY MANKIND GADDAFI IS IN A CATEGORY WITH FIDEL CASTRO, CHE GUEVARA, HUGO CHAVEZ, EVO MORALES, RAFAEL CORREA, PATRICE LUMUMBA AND OTHERS WHO HAVE FOUGHT TO LIBERATE THE DISENFRANCHISED AND EXPLOITED FROM LACK OF FOOD, HEALTH CARE, EDUCATION OF DECENT INCOME FOR THEIR CHILDREN. 

INTERESTINGLY A MAN WHO HAS LED LIBYA THROUGH AN ARAB SOCIALISM OF HAVING BY UN RANKING THE HIGHEST LIVING STANDARD FAR ABOVE OTHERS IN AFRICA IN LONGEVITY, INFANT MORTALITY, ACCESS TO FREE EDUCATION AND HEALTH CARE TO A DEGREE MUCH HIGHER THAN NINE EUROPEAN COUNTRIES INCLUDING RUSSIA, AND HAS BEEN CLEVER ENOUGH TO SURVIVE SO MANY ASSASSINATION ATTEMPTS, INCLUDING THE REAGAN ORDERED AIR STRIKE ON HIS HOME THAT KILLED HIS DAUGHTER AMONG A HUNDRED OTHERS, BE ABOUT MASSACRING HIS OWN PEOPLE ACCORDING TO CNN AND OTHER CORPORATE OWNED DISREPUTABLE NEWS GATHERING MEDIA WITH A HISTORY OF MANUFACTURING CONSENT FOR DOZENS OF BLOODY U.S. WARS IN THE THIRD WORLD?

AND THE SCHLOCK OF LIES AND ABSURD INNUENDOE GOES ON WITH ALL KINDS OF OBVIOUSLY PLANTED STORIES ABOUT AMERICA'S ENEMIES. LIES WHICH THOUGH EVENTUALLY WILL BE FOUND OUT AND PROVEN FALSE WHEN THE ISSUE IS NO LONGER TOPICAL AND OF INTEREST. WHO CARES ABOUT THE GULF OF TONKIN LIES, THE IRAQ WMD LIES, THAT IRAQI SOLDIERS DIDN'T PULL OUT THE LIFE SUSTAINING TUBES OF BABIES IN KUWAIT HOSPITALS, THAT THE PLANES THAT BOMBED CUBA WERE INDEED AMERICAN, THAT THE DUG UP NORTH KOREAN TORPEDO COULD NOT HAVE BLOWN A SOUTH KOREAN WARSHIP IN TWO? BOOKS HAVE BEEN FILLED UP WITH SUCH LIES WITH ABSOLUTELY NO ATTENTION RECEIVED FROM EMINENT AND ESTEEMED LIARS.

LIES HAVE LONG BECOME A WAY OF LIFE IN MILITARY, JINGOISTIC, BIG BROTHER MEDIA APPROACHING THE LEVEL OF DESCRIBED IN GEORGE ORWELL'S NOVEL,"1984." ONLY GADDAFI AND WE OURSELVES ARE LIVING IN 2011, A DATE TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS ON, IN A CLIMATE OF CORPORATE MIND CONTROL THROUGH PROGRAMED FEAR, DISINFORMATION AND SELF-SERVING BUT DANGEROUS RIGHTEOUS PRIDE IN IGNORANCE MORE ADVANCED THAN WE THINK.

AUTHOR FINDS GADDAFI'S SHORT SELF-DEFENSE WORTH THE READ FOR HIS DESCRIPTION OF THE INHUMANITY OF CAPITALIST GOVERNANCE.

"BOMBING OF LIBYA -- PUNISHMENT FOR GADDAFI FOR HIS ATTEMPT TO REFUSE US DOLLAR' , "CHINA HAD ANNOUNCED MINTING OF GOLDEN YUAN AND THE EASTERN COUNTRIES ALSO DISCUSSED THE POSSIBILITY OF GOLDEN STANDARD. MUMMAR GHADDAFI BECAME THE MAIN INITIATOR OF IDEA OF REFUSING FROM DOLLAR AND EURO AND CALLED ON ARAB AND AFRICAN NATIONS TO USE A NEW CURRENCY INSTEAD, THE PERSIAN GOLD DINAR. IN 2002 MALAYSIAN PRIME MINISTER MUHAMMAD TOGETHER WITH MUMMAR GHADDAFI PROPOSED INITIATIVE TO LAUNCH GOLDEN DINAR. AT THE BEGINNING THIS IDEA WAS APPROVED BY IRAQ, SUDAN AND BRUNEY, NEXT YEAR INDONESIA, UNITED ARABIAN EMIRATES AND OTHER COUNTRIES JOINED TO IT. THEY BEGAN WORK ON THIS IDEA. THERE WERE SOME SESSIONS OF MINISTERS OF FINANCE OF THESE COUNTRIES AND THE PROJECT ABOUT REFUSING FROM DOLLAR AND EURO AND USING GOLDEN DINAR BEGAN TO BE TRANSFERED TO LIFE. THERE WAS A PILOT PROJECT WHERE GOLDEN COINS WERE ALREADY MINTED AND IT BEGAN TO BE USED IN MALAYSIA, INDONESIA AND IRAN. THEY WERE EVEN USED IN COMMON SHOPS AND THEY ARE STILL CAN BE USED THERE AS WELL AS COMMON BANKNOTE MONEY.IT MEANS THAT IF MUAMMAR GHADDAFI WILL DROP BANK SYSTEM AND WILL START TRADE ONLY IN GOLD, HE WILL TRADE ONLY WITH COUNTRIES THAT HAVE GOLD. (CHINA HAS ALMOST CORNERED THE GOLD MARKET?) ... THERE MUST BE CHAIN REACTION, BECAUSE EVERYONE IS TIRED TO BE A SLAVE FOR USA FEDERAL RESERVE FOND AND ITS HEAD MR. BERNANKE. BECAUSE BERNANKE GIVES MONEY IN DEBT FOR USA (FEDERAL RESERVE FOND OF USA GIVES MONEY TO CENTRAL BANK OF USA). IF MUAMMAN GHADDAFI FOUND TIME TO LAUNCH GOLDEN COINS BEFORE THE WAR STARTED, NOT ONLY MUSLIM COUNTRIES WOULD FOLLOW HIM. THERE WOULD BE MANY COUNTRIES, INCLUDING MAYBE EVEN GERMANY. EVERYONE IN THE WORLD WHO DOESN'T WANT TO BE A SLAVE OF BERNANKE WANTS TO TRADE FOR GOLD.

GADDAFI SUGGESTED ESTABLISHING A UNITED AFRICAN CONTINENT, WITH ITS 200 MILLION PEOPLE USING THIS SINGLE CURRENCY. DURING THE PAST YEAR, THE IDEA WAS APPROVED BY MANY ARAB COUNTRIES AND MOST AFRICAN COUNTRIES. THE ONLY OPPONENTS WERE THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA AND THE HEAD OF THE LEAGUE OF ARAB STATES. THE INITIATIVE WAS VIEWED NEGATIVELY BY THE US AND THE EUROPEAN UNION, WITH FRENCH PRESIDENT NICOLAS SARKOZY CALLING LIBYA A THREAT TO THE FINANCIAL SECURITY OF MANKIND; BUT GADDAFI WAS NOT SWAYED AND CONTINUED HIS PUSH FOR THE CREATION OF A UNITED AFRICA.

IF THE GADDAFI GOVERNMENT GOES DOWN, IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO WATCH WHETHER THE NEW CENTRAL BANK [CREATED BY THE REBELS IN MARCH] JOINS THE BIS, WHETHER THE NATIONALISED OIL INDUSTRY GETS SOLD OFF TO INVESTORS, AND WHETHER EDUCATION AND HEALTHCARE CONTINUE TO BE FREE."

WORLD BANK'S ZOELLICK: HOPES BANK WILL HAVE ROLE IN LIBYA BY JEFFREY SPARSHOTT DOW JONES NEWSWIRES , 4/14/11

WASHINGTON -(DOW JONES)- WORLD BANK PRESIDENT ROBERT ZOELLICK THURSDAY SAID HE HOPES THE INSTITUTION WILL HAVE A ROLE REBUILDING LIBYA AS IT EMERGES FROM CURRENT UNREST. ZOELLICK AT A PANEL DISCUSSION NOTED THE BANK'S EARLY ROLE IN THE RECONSTRUCTION OF FRANCE, JAPAN AND OTHER NATIONS AFTER WORLD WAR II.
"RECONSTRUCTION NOW MEANS IVORY COAST, IT MEANS SOUTHERN SUDAN, IT MEANS LIBERIA, IT MEANS SRI LANKA, I HOPE IT WILL MEAN LIBYA," ZOELLICK SAID.

JOHN PERKINS EXPLAIN HOW LIBYA CHALLENGED WORLD BANKING SYSTEM THAT FAVORS THE CORPORATOCRACY I N IT'S NOT ABOUT OIL, IT'S ABOUT CURRENCY AND LOANS 

"ACCORDING TO THE IMF, LIBYA'S CENTRAL BANK IS 100% STATE OWNED. THE IMF ESTIMATES THAT THE BANK HAS NEARLY 144 TONS OF GOLD IN ITS VAULTS. IT IS SIGNIFICANT THAT IN THE MONTHS RUNNING UP TO THE UN RESOLUTION THAT ALLOWED THE US AND ITS ALLIES TO SEND TROOPS INTO LIBYA, MUAMMAR AL-QADDAFI WAS OPENLY ADVOCATING THE CREATION OF A NEW CURRENCY THAT WOULD RIVAL THE DOLLAR AND THE EURO. IN FACT, HE CALLED UPON AFRICAN AND MUSLIM NATIONS TO JOIN AN ALLIANCE THAT WOULD MAKE THIS NEW CURRENCY, THE GOLD DINAR, THEIR PRIMARY FORM OF MONEY AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE. THEY WOULD SELL OIL AND OTHER RESOURCES TO THE US AND THE REST OF THE WORLD ONLY FOR GOLD DINARS.


THE US, THE OTHER G-8 COUNTRIES, THE WORLD BANK, IMF, BIS, AND MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS DO NOT LOOK KINDLY ON LEADERS WHO THREATEN THEIR DOMINANCE OVER WORLD CURRENCY MARKETS OR WHO APPEAR TO BE MOVING AWAY FROM THE INTERNATIONAL BANKING SYSTEM THAT FAVORS THE CORPORATOCRACY. SADDAM HUSSEIN HAD ADVOCATED POLICIES SIMILAR TO THOSE EXPRESSED BY QADDAFI SHORTLY BEFORE THE US SENT TROOPS INTO IRAQ.

IN MY TALKS, I OFTEN FIND IT NECESSARY TO REMIND AUDIENCES OF A POINT THAT SEEMS OBVIOUS TO ME BUT IS MISUNDERSTOOD BY SO MANY: THAT THE WORLD BANK IS NOT REALLY A WORLD BANK AT ALL; IT IS, RATHER A U. S. BANK. DITTO, ITS CLOSEST SIBLING, THE IMF. IN FACT, IF ONE LOOKS AT THE WORLD BANK AND IMF EXECUTIVE BOARDS AND THE VOTES EACH MEMBER OF THE BOARD HAS, ONE SEES THAT THE UNITED STATES CONTROLS ABOUT 16 PERCENT OF THE VOTES IN THE WORLD BANK - (COMPARED WITH JAPAN AT ABOUT 7%, THE SECOND LARGEST MEMBER, CHINA AT 4.5%, GERMANY WITH 4.00%, AND THE UNITED KINGDOM AND FRANCE WITH ABOUT 3.8% EACH), NEARLY 17% OF THE IMF VOTES (COMPARED WITH JAPAN AND GERMANY AT ABOUT 6% AND UK AND FRANCE AT NEARLY 5%), AND THE US HOLDS VETO POWER OVER ALL MAJOR DECISIONS. FURTHERMORE, THE UNITED STATES PRESIDENT APPOINTS THE WORLD BANK PRESIDENT.

SO, WE MIGHT ASK OURSELVES: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A "ROGUE" COUNTRY THREATENS TO BRING THE BANKING SYSTEM THAT BENEFITS THE CORPORATOCRACY TO ITS KNEES? "

US TO RECOUP LIBYAN OIL FROM CHINA 

INTERVIEW WITH DR. PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS, FORMER ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF US TREASURY.

BY PRESS TV / APRIL 20TH, 2011

"LIBYAN RULER MUAMMAR QADDAFI HAS MADE TWO MISTAKES: IT BLOCKED THE US AFRICA COMMAND BY NOT JOINING IT AND LET CHINA INTO LIBYA WITH MAJOR ENERGY INVESTMENTS INSTEAD, SAYS A FORMER US OFFICIAL.

PRESS TV HAS INTERVIEWED DR. PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS, FORMER ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF US TREASURY FROM PANAMA CITY, WHO GIVES HIS INSIGHT ON THE REVOLUTION IN LIBYA AND WHY US PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA NEEDS TO OVERTHROW QADDAFI WHEN NO OTHER US PRESIDENTS DID.

PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS: YES THEY DO. FIRST OF ALL, NOTICE THAT THE PROTESTS IN LIBYA ARE DIFFERENT FROM THE ONES IN EGYPT OR YEMEN OR BAHRAIN OR TUNISIA AND THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT THIS IS AN ARMED REBELLION.

THERE ARE MORE DIFFERENCES: ANOTHER IS THAT THESE PROTESTS ORIGINATED IN THE EASTERN PART OF LIBYA WHERE THE OIL IS -- THEY DID NOT ORIGINATE IN THE CAPITAL CITIES. AND WE HAVE HEARD FROM THE BEGINNING, CREDIBLE REPORTS THAT THE CIA IS INVOLVED IN THE PROTESTS AND THERE HAVE BEEN A LARGE NUMBER OF PRESS REPORTS THAT THE CIA HAS SENT BACK TO LIBYA ITS LIBYAN ASSET TO HEAD UP THE LIBYAN REBELLION.

IN MY OPINION, WHAT THIS IS ABOUT IS TO ELIMINATE CHINA FROM THE MEDITERRANEAN. CHINA HAS EXTENSIVE ENERGY INVESTMENTS AND CONSTRUCTION INVESTMENTS IN LIBYA. THEY ARE LOOKING TO AFRICA AS A FUTURE ENERGY SOURCE.

THE US IS COUNTERING THIS BY ORGANIZING THE UNITED STATES AFRICAN COMMAND (USAC), WHICH QADDAFI REFUSED TO JOIN. SO THAT'S THE SECOND REASON FOR THE AMERICANS TO WANT QADDAFI OUT.

AND THE THIRD REASON IS THAT LIBYA CONTROLS PART OF THE MEDITERRANEAN COAST AND IT'S NOT IN AMERICAN HANDS.

THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE IN THERE FIGHTING TOGETHER WITH THE REBELS.

BUT OF COURSE THE CIA IS. I THE NEXT TARGET WILL BE SYRIA BECAUSE SYRIA HAS ALREADY BEEN DEMONIZED.

WHY ARE THEY TARGETING SYRIA? -- BECAUSE THE RUSSIANS HAVE A VERY LARGE NAVAL BASE IN SYRIA. AND IT GIVES THE RUSSIAN NAVY A PRESENCE IN THE MEDITERRANEAN; THE US AND NATO DO NOT WANT THAT. IF THERE IS SUCCESS IN OVERTHROWING QADDAFI, SYRIA IS NEXT.

ALREADY, THEY ARE BLAMING IRAN FOR SYRIA AND LIBYA. IRAN IS A MAJOR TARGET BECAUSE IT IS AN INDEPENDENT STATE THAT IS NOT A PUPPET OF THE WESTERN COLONIALISTS.


PRESS TV: WITH REGARDS TO THE EXPANSIONIST AGENDA OF THE WEST, WHEN THE UN MANDATE ON LIBYA WAS DEBATED IN THE UN SECURITY COUNCIL, RUSSIA DID NOT VETO IT. SURELY RUSSIA MUST SEE THIS EXPANSIONIST POLICY OF THE US, FRANCE AND BRITAIN.

PCR: YES THEY MUST SEE THAT; AND THE SAME FOR CHINA. IT'S A MUCH GREATER THREAT TO CHINA BECAUSE IT HAS 50 MAJOR INVESTMENT PROJECTS IN EASTERN LIBYA. SO THE QUESTION IS WHY DID RUSSIA AND CHINA ABSTAIN RATHER THAN VETO AND BLOCK? WE DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER.

POSSIBLY THE COUNTRIES ARE THINKING LET THE AMERICANS GET FURTHER OVER EXTENDED OR THEY MAY NOT HAVE WANTED TO CONFRONT THEM WITH A MILITARY OR DIPLOMATIC POSITION AND HAVE AN ONSLAUGHT OF WESTERN PROPAGANDA AGAINST THEM. WE DON'T KNOW THE REASONS, BUT WE KNOW THEY DID ABSTAIN BECAUSE THEY DID NOT AGREE WITH THE POLICY AND THEY CONTINUE TO CRITICIZE IT.

THE CIA IS THE ORIGINATOR OF THIS SO-CALLED REVOLT AND PROTEST AND IS FOMENTING IT AND CONTROLLING IT IN A WAY THAT EXCLUDES CHINA FROM ITS OWN LIBYAN OIL INVESTMENTS.

IN MY OPINION, WHAT IS GOING ON IS COMPARABLE TO WHAT THE US AND BRITAIN DID TO JAPAN IN THE 1930S. WHEN THEY CUT JAPAN OFF FROM OIL, FROM RUBBER, FROM MINERALS LIKE ORE; THAT WAS THE ORIGIN OF WORLD WAR II IN THE PACIFIC. AND NOW THE AMERICANS AND THE BRITISH ARE DOING THE SAME THING TO CHINA.

THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT CHINA HAS NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND IT ALSO HAS A STRONGER ECONOMY THAN DO THE AMERICANS. AND SO THE AMERICANS ARE TAKING A VERY HIGH RISK NOT ONLY WITH THEMSELVES, BUT WITH THE REST OF THE WORLD. THE ENTIRE WORLD IS NOW AT STAKE ON AMERICAN OVER-REACH; AMERICAN HUBERUS -- THE DRIVE FOR AMERICAN HEGEMONY OVER THE WORLD IS DRIVING THE REST OF THE WORLD INTO A WORLD WAR."

PRESS TV: SO THESE OTHER COUNTRIES WOULD WELCOME HAVING NATO TROOPS ON THE GROUND?

PCR: OF COURSE. THEY ARE IN THE CIAS POCKET. IT'S A CIA OPERATION, NOT A LEGITIMATE PROTEST OF THE LIBYAN PEOPLE. IT'S AN ARMED REBELLION THAT HAS NO SUPPORT IN THE CAPITAL CITY. IT'S TAKING PLACE IN THE EAST WHERE THE OIL IS AND IS DIRECTED AT CHINA.

QADDAFI HAS BEEN RULING FOR 40 YEARS -- HE GOES BACK TO GAMAL ABDEL NASSER (BEFORE ANWAR SADAT) WHO WANTED TO GIVE INDEPENDENCE TO EGYPT.

HE (QADDAFI) WAS NEVER BEFORE CALLED A BRUTAL DICTATOR THAT HAS TO BE REMOVED. NO OTHER PRESIDENT HAS EVER SAID QADDAFI HAS TO GO. NOT EVEN RONALD REAGAN WHO ACTUALLY BOMBED QADDAFI'S COMPOUND AND TRIED TO KILL HIM. BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN HE HAS TO GO. WHY?

BECAUSE HE'S BLOCKING THE US AFRICAN COMMAND, HE CONTROLS PART OF THE MEDITERRANEAN AND HE HAS LET CHINA IN TO FIND ITS ENERGY NEEDS FOR THE FUTURE. WE (THE US) ARE TRYING TO CRIPPLE OUR MAIN RIVAL, CHINA BY DENYING IT ENERGY. THAT'S WHAT THIS IS REALLY ABOUT; A REACTION BY THE US.

IF THE US WAS CONCERNED ABOUT HUMANITARIANISM, IT WOULDN'T BE KILLING ALL THESE PEOPLE IN AFGHANISTAN AND PAKISTAN WITH THEIR DRONES AND MILITARY STRIKES. ALMOST ALWAYS IT'S CIVILIANS THAT ARE KILLED. AND THE US IS RELUCTANT TO ISSUE APOLOGIES ABOUT ANY OF IT. THEY SAY WE THOUGHT WE WERE KILLING TALIBAN OR SOME OTHER MADE-UP ENEMY.

PRESS TV: WHO WILL BENEFIT FROM ALL OF THIS OTHER THAN THE US? THE OTHER COUNTRIES THAT COMPLY WITH US WISHES- WHAT DO THEY STAND TO GAIN FROM THIS?

PCR: WE ARE ONLY TALKING ABOUT NATO COUNTRIES, THE AMERICAN PUPPET STATES. BRITAIN, FRANCE, ITALY, GERMANY, ALL BELONG TO THE AMERICAN EMPIRE. WE'VE HAD TROOPS STATIONED IN GERMANY SINCE 1945. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT 66 YEARS OF AMERICAN OCCUPATION OF GERMANY. THE AMERICANS HAVE MILITARY BASES IN ITALY -- HOW IS THAT AN INDEPENDENT COUNTRY? FRANCE WAS SOMEWHAT INDEPENDENT UNTIL WE PUT SARKOZY IN POWER. SO THEY ALL DO WHAT THEY'RE TOLD.

AMERICA WANTS TO RULE RUSSIA, CHINA, IRAN, AND AFRICA, ALL OF SOUTH AMERICA. THEY WANT HEGEMONY OVER THE WORLD. THAT'S WHAT THE WORD HEGEMONY MEANS. AND THEY WILL PURSUE IT AT ALL COSTS.

WAR IN LIBYA COULD DRAG ON, MILITARY ANALYSTS SAY , NEW YORK TIMES 4/20/11 BY STEVEN ANGER
PARIS -- "FRANCE AND ITALY SAID WEDNESDAY THAT THEY WOULD JOIN BRITAIN IN SENDING LIAISON OFFICERS TO SUPPORT THE REBEL ARMY IN LIBYA, IN WHAT MILITARY ANALYSTS SAID WAS A SIGN THAT THERE WOULD BE NO QUICK AND EASY END TO THE WAR IN LIBYA."


WHEW! MEGA COLONIAL CONQUERERS AND EXPLOITERS OF AFRICA, BRITAIN AND FRANCE BAD ENOUGH, BUT TO THINK THAT THE ITALIAN GOVERNMENT WHICH ONCE BROUGHT DEATH TO MILLIONS OF LIBYANS, NOW SENDS MILITARY ADVISERS TO HELP OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT IT APOLOGIZED TO (UNDER GADDAFI)??

"THE DISPATCHING OF THE LIAISON OFFICERS -- PROBABLY FEWER THAN 40 OF THEM, AND CAREFULLY NOT DESIGNATED AS MILITARY TRAINERS -- IS A SIGN ALSO, THEY SAID, THAT ONLY A COMBINATION OF MILITARY PRESSURE FROM THE SKY, ECONOMIC PRESSURE ON THE GOVERNMENT AND A BETTER-ORGANIZED AND COORDINATED REBEL FORCE WILL FINALLY CONVINCE COL. MUAMMAR EL-QADDAFI THAT HE HAS NO OPTION BUT TO QUIT."

"SOME COUNTRIES THOUGHT THE LIBYA OPERATION COULD BE OVER QUICKLY," SAID A SENIOR NATO AMBASSADOR. "BUT NO MILITARY COMMANDER THINKS SO." 

AND NOW, ONE SUPPOSES THE INVESTORS IN WAR CAN SIT BACK AND RELAX KNOWING THAT A LONG DRAWN OUT BLOODIEST OF WARS IS GOING ALONG AS HOPED FOR, BECAUSE OBAMA HAS ORDERED PERSONNEL SITING IN FRONT OF A SCREEN OF COORDINATES SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDWEST TO BEGIN FIRING THOSE PIN POINT ACCURATE MISSILES FROM DRONES ALREADY IN THE AIR IN RECONNAISSANCE OVER MISURATE, LIBYA. THIS IN TURN HAS PRECIPITATED A WIDENING OF THE FIGHTING ACCORDING TO BBC APRIL 22.

LIBYA CRISIS: MISRATA TRIBES 'MAY FIGHT REBELS'
HTTP://WWW.BBC.CO.UK/NEWS/WORLD-AFRICA-13173628
TRIBES LOYAL TO LIBYAN LEADER MUAMMAR GADDAFI HAVE GIVEN THE ARMY AN ULTIMATUM TO DRIVE REBELS OUT OF THE BESIEGED CITY OF MISRATA OR LET THEM DO THE JOB, A SENIOR OFFICIAL SAYS.
DEPUTY FOREIGN MINISTER KHALED KAIM SAID THE ARMY HAD TRIED TO KEEP CIVILIAN CASUALTIES LOW BUT HE TRIBES WOULD NOT SHOW THE SAME RESTRAINT. THE TRIBES WERE ANGRY THAT PEOPLE'S LIVES HAD BEEN DISRUPTED BY WEEKS OF FIGHTING THAT HAD CUT THE MAIN COASTAL ROAD AND STOPPED TRADE IN THE CITY.
TRIBAL LEADERS SAY THE SEAPORT IS FOR ALL LIBYANS NOT JUST THE REBELS, MR KAIM SAID.

"THE TACTIC OF THE ARMY IS TO HAVE A SURGICAL SOLUTION BUT WITH THE (NATO) AIR STRIKES IT DOESN'T WORK." THE US HAS AUTHORISED THE USE OF ARMED, UNMANNED PREDATOR DRONES OVER LIBYA TO GIVE "PRECISION CAPABILITIES". 

US ADM MIKE MULLEN, SAID THE WAR IN LIBYA WAS "MOVING TOWARDS STALEMATE" , EVEN THOUGH US AND NATO AIR STRIKES HAVE DESTROYED 30-40% OF LIBYA'S GROUND FORCES. 

GUARDIAN, UK , 4/21/11, DAVID SWANSON LIBYA: ANOTHER NEOCON WAR 
CLICK HERE
FORMER SUPREME ALLIED COMMANDER EUROPE OF NATO, FROM 1997 TO 2000, WESLEY CLARK CLAIMS THAT IN 2001, A GENERAL IN THE PENTAGON SHOWED HIM A PIECE OF PAPER AND SAID:

"I JUST GOT THIS MEMO TODAY OR YESTERDAY FROM THE OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF DEFENCE UPSTAIRS. IT'S A, IT'S A FIVE-YEAR PLAN. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE DOWN SEVEN COUNTRIES IN FIVE YEARS. WE'RE GOING TO START WITH IRAQ, THEN SYRIA, LEBANON, THEN LIBYA, SOMALIA, SUDAN, WE'RE GOING TO COME BACK AND GET IRAN IN FIVE YEARS."

THAT AGENDA FIT PERFECTLY WITH THE PLANS OF WASHINGTON INSIDERS, SUCH AS THOSE WHO FAMOUSLY SPELLED OUT THEIR INTENTIONS IN THE REPORTS OF THE THINKTANK CALLED THE PROJECT FOR THE NEW AMERICAN CENTURY. THE FIERCE IRAQI AND AFGHAN RESISTANCE DIDN'T FIT AT ALL. NEITHER DID THE NONVIOLENT REVOLUTIONS IN TUNISIA AND EGYPT. BUT TAKING OVER LIBYA STILL MAKES PERFECT SENSE IN THE NEOCONSERVATIVE WORLDVIEW. 

THE LIBYAN GOVERNMENT CONTROLS MORE OF ITS OIL THAN ANY OTHER NATION ON EARTH, AND IT IS THE TYPE OF OIL THAT EUROPE FINDS EASIEST TO REFINE. LIBYA ALSO CONTROLS ITS OWN FINANCES, LEADING AMERICAN AUTHOR ELLEN BROWN TO POINT OUT AN INTERESTING FACT ABOUT THOSE SEVEN COUNTRIES NAMED BY CLARK:

"WHAT DO THESE SEVEN COUNTRIES HAVE IN COMMON? IN THE CONTEXT OF BANKING, ONE THAT STICKS OUT IS THAT NONE OF THEM IS LISTED AMONG THE 56 MEMBER BANKS OF THE BANK FOR INTERNATIONAL SETTLEMENTS (BIS). THAT EVIDENTLY PUTS THEM OUTSIDE THE LONG REGULATORY ARM OF THE CENTRAL BANKERS' CENTRAL BANK IN SWITZERLAND."

- LIBYA'S GREAT MAN-MADE RIVER (GMMR). 

THE NUBIAN SANDSTONE AQUIFER SYSTEM (NSAS) LIES BENEATH FOUR NORTH AFRICAN COUNTRIES - CHAD, EGYPT, SUDAN AND LIBYA, CALLED THE WORLD'S LARGEST FOSSIL WATER SYSTEM BECAUSE IT'S ANCIENT AND NON-RENEWABLE. IN FACT, THE QUR'AN'S (KORAN) SURAH 2, VERSE 74 SAYS:

"FOR AMONG ROCKS THERE ARE SOME FROM WHICH RIVERS GUSH FORTH; OTHERS THERE ARE WHICH WHEN SPLIT ASUNDER SEND FORTH WATER."

IN FACT, THREE MAJOR AQUIFERS LIE BENEATH THE SAHARA, NSAS THE LARGEST, CONTAINING AN ESTIMATED 375,000 CUBIC KM OF WATER.


COVERING TWO MILLION SQUARE KM, IT'S AN OCEAN OF WATER BENEATH THE DESERT FOR IRRIGATION, HUMAN CONSUMPTION, DEVELOPMENT, AND OTHER USES. AT 2007 CONSUMPTION RATES, IT COULD LAST 1,000 YEARS. GADDAFI CALLS NSAS THE "EIGHTH WONDER OF THE WORLD." ITS WEB SITE SAYS IT'S THE LARGEST GLOBAL UNDERGROUND NETWORK OF PIPES AND AQUEDUCTS, CONSISTING OF:

-- OVER 1,300 WELLS;

-- 7 MILLION MILES OF PRE-STRESSED STEEL WIRE TO STRENGTHEN 12-FOOT DIAMETER PIPES;

-- 3,500 KM OF PIPELINE COVERING AN AREA EQUAL TO WESTERN EUROPE;

-- FOUR PIPELINES - TWO EAST AND TWO WEST, CONNECTING WITH LINKS NORTH; AND

-- THOUSANDS OF MILES OF ROADS BETWEEN AND CONNECTING ITS VARIOUS LINES AND INFRASTRUCTURE, SUPPLYING 6.5 MILLION CUBIC METERS OF FRESH WATER DAILY TO LIBYANS AND OTHERS IN THE REGION. EXTRACTING WATER AT A DEPTH OF FROM 1,600 - 2,500 FEET, THE SYSTEM PURIFIES AND SUPPLIES IT MAINLY TO POPULATED COASTAL CITIES.

CONCEIVED IN THE LATE 1960S, FEASIBILITY STUDIES WERE CONDUCTED IN 1974. CONSTRUCTION THEN BEGAN IN 1984, DIVIDED IN FIVE PHASES, EACH LARGELY SEPARATE, THEN COMBINED INTO AN INTEGRATED SYSTEM. FUNDED BY GADDAFI WITHOUT LOANS FROM OTHER NATIONS OR WESTERN BANKS, THE PROJECT COST $25 BILLION SO FAR.

INAUGURATED IN AUGUST 1991, PHASE I PROVIDES TWO MILLION DAILY CUBIC METERS OF WATER ALONG A 1,200 KM PIPELINE FROM AS-SARIR AND TAZERBO TO BENGHAZI AND SIRT, VIA THE AJDABIYA RESERVOIR. PHASE II DELIVERS ONE MILLION DAILY CUBIC METERS FROM THE FEZZAN REGION TO THE FERTILE JEFFARA PLAIN IN THE WESTERN COASTAL BELT, ALSO SUPPLYING TRIPOLI.

PHASE III IS IN TWO PARTS. ITS FIRST ADDS AN ADDITIONAL 1.68 MILLION CUBIC METERS DAILY THROUGH ANOTHER 700 KM OF PIPELINE AND PUMPING STATIONS. IT ALSO SUPPLIES 138,000 MORE CUBIC METERS DAILY TO TOBRUK AND THE COAST FROM A NEW AL-JAGHBOUB WELLFIELD THROUGH ANOTHER 500 KM OF PIPELINE.

THE FINAL PHASES INVOLVE EXTENDING THE DISTRIBUTION NETWORK BY PIPELINES LINKING THE AJJABIYA RESERVOIR TO TOBRUK, THEN CONNECTING EASTERN AND WESTERN SYSTEMS AT SIRT INTO A SINGLE INTEGRATED NETWORK. WHEN FULLY OPERATIONAL, GADDAFI HOPES TO MAKE THE DESERT AS GREEN AS LIBYA'S FLAG.

THE PROJECT IS OWNED BY THE GREAT MAN-MADE RIVER (GMMR) AUTHORITY, FUNDED BY GADDAFI'S GOVERNMENT AS EXPLAINED ABOVE. HOWEVER, WITH WAR RAGING, THE SYSTEM IS JEOPARDIZED AS WELL AS GADDAFI'S DREAM TO TURN THE DESERT GREEN.

8. DOMINICAN REPUBLIC


WILSON ORDERED THE U.S. OCCUPATION OF THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. U.S. MARINES LANDED ON MAY 16, 1916. AND HAD CONTROL OF THE COUNTRY TWO MONTHS LATER. THE MILITARY GOVERNMENT ESTABLISHED BY THE U.S., LED BY REAR ADMIRAL HARRY SHEPARD KNAPP, WAS WIDELY REPUDIATED BY DOMINICANS. U.S. NAVAL OFFICERS HAD TO FILL SOME CABINET POSTS, AS DOMINICANS REFUSED TO SERVE IN THE ADMINISTRATION. CENSORSHIP AND LIMITS ON PUBLIC SPEECH WERE IMPOSED. THE GUERRILLA WAR AGAINST THE U.S. FORCES WAS MET WITH A VIGOROUS, OFTEN BRUTAL RESPONSE.[48] [WIKIPEDIA]

OPPOSITION TO THE OCCUPATION CONTINUED, HOWEVER, AND AFTER WORLD WAR I IT INCREASED IN THE U.S. AS WELL. THERE, PRESIDENT WARREN G. HARDING (1921–23), WILSON'S SUCCESSOR, WORKED TO END THE OCCUPATION, AS HE HAD PROMISED TO DO DURING HIS CAMPAIGN. U.S. GOVERNMENT ENDED IN OCTOBER 1922,

IN FEBRUARY 1963, A DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED GOVERNMENT UNDER LEFTIST JUAN BOSCH TOOK OFFICE BUT WAS OVERTHROWN IN SEPTEMBER. IN APRIL 1965, AFTER 19 MONTHS OF MILITARY RULE, A PRO-BOSCH REVOLT BROKE OUT. DAYS LATER, U.S. PRESIDENT LYNDON JOHNSON, CONCERNED THAT COMMUNISTS MIGHT TAKE OVER THE REVOLT AND CREATE A "SECOND CUBA", SENT THE MARINES, FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BY THE ARMY'S 82ND AIRBORNE DIVISION AND OTHER ELEMENTS OF THE XVIIITH AIRBORNE CORPS IN OPERATION POWERPACK. "WE DON'T PROPOSE TO SIT HERE IN A ROCKING CHAIR WITH OUR HANDS FOLDED AND LET THE COMMUNIST SET UP ANY GOVERNMENT IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE", JOHNSON SAID.[55] THE FORCES WERE SOON JOINED BY COMPARATIVELY SMALL CONTINGENTS FROM THE ORGANIZATION OF AMERICAN STATES. ALL THESE REMAINED IN THE COUNTRY FOR OVER A YEAR AND LEFT AFTER SUPERVISING ELECTIONS IN 1966 WON BY JOAQUÍN BALAGUER, WHO HAD BEEN TRUJILLO'S LAST PUPPET-PRESIDENT.

THAT BOMBARDMENT, INVASION AND MONTHS LONG US SNIPER SLAYINGS OF DOMINICAN PATRIOTS WAS TO PREVENT THEIR BELOVED ELECTED PRESIDENT, UNACCEPTABLE TO WALL STREET INTERESTS AND THEREFORE ALSO THE US STATE DEPARTMENT, FROM BEING ALLOWED TO GOVERN.

9. IRAN



KERMIT "KIM" ROOSEVELT, JR., GRANDSON OF US PRESIDENT THEODORE ROOSEVELT, WAS A POLITICAL ACTION OFFICER OF THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY'S (CIA) DIRECTORATE OF PLANS WHO COORDINATED THE OPERATION AJAX, WHICH SUCCESSFULLY ORCHESTRATED A COUP D’ÉTAT AGAINST IRAN'S PRIME MINISTER, MOHAMMED MOSADDEQ, AND RETURN MOHAMMAD REZA PAHLAVI, THE SHAH OF IRAN, TO IRAN'S PEACOCK THRONE IN AUGUST 1953. HE DECRIBED HIS SUCCESS WITH ZEAL HIS COUNTERCOUP - THE STRUGGLE FOR CONTROL OF IRAN, WHICH HE PUBLISHED IN 1979. [WIKIPEDIA]

THE 1953 IRANIAN COUP D'ÉTAT (KNOWN IN IRAN AS THE 28 MORDAD COUP[3]) WAS THE OVERTHROW OF THE DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED GOVERNMENT OF IRANIAN PRIME MINISTER MOHAMMAD MOSADDEGH ON 19 AUGUST 1953, ORCHESTRATED BY THE INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES OF THE UNITED KINGDOM AND THE UNITED STATES UNDER THE NAME TPAJAX PROJECT. THE COUP SAW THE TRANSITION OF MOHAMMAD-REZ? SH?H PAHLAVI FROM A CONSTITUTIONAL MONARCH TO AN AUTHORITARIAN ONE WHO RELIED HEAVILY ON UNITED STATES SUPPORT TO HOLD ON TO POWER UNTIL HIS OWN OVERTHROW IN FEBRUARY 1979

IN 1951, IRAN'S OIL INDUSTRY HAD BEEN NATIONALIZED WITH NEAR-UNANIMOUS SUPPORT OF IRAN'S PARLIAMENT. IRAN'S OIL HAD BEEN CONTROLLED BY THE BRITISH-OWNED ANGLO-IRANIAN OIL COMPANY (AIOC).POPULAR DISCONTENT WITH THE AIOC BEGAN IN THE LATE 1940S, A LARGE SEGMENT OF IRAN'S PUBLIC AND A NUMBER OF POLITICIANS SAW THE COMPANY AS EXPLOITATIVE AND A VESTIGE OF BRITISH IMPERIALISM DESPITE MOSADDEGH'S POPULAR SUPPORT, BRITAIN WAS UNWILLING TO NEGOTIATE ITS SINGLE MOST VALUABLE FOREIGN ASSET, AND INSTIGATED A WORLDWIDE BOYCOTT OF IRANIAN OIL TO PRESSURE IRAN ECONOMICALLY.[8] INITIALLY, BRITAIN MOBILIZED ITS MILITARY TO SEIZE CONTROL OF THE ABADAN OIL REFINERY, THE WORLD'S LARGEST, BUT PRIME MINISTER CLEMENT ATTLEE OPTED INSTEAD TO TIGHTEN THE ECONOMIC BOYCOTT[9] WHILE USING IRANIAN AGENTS TO UNDERMINE MOSADDEGH'S GOVERNMENT.[10] WITH A CHANGE TO MORE CONSERVATIVE GOVERNMENTS IN BOTH BRITAIN AND THE UNITED STATES, CHURCHILL AND THE U.S. EISENHOWER ADMINISTRATION DECIDED TO OVERTHROW IRAN'S GOVERNMENT
ACCORDING TO THE CIA'S DECLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS AND RECORDS, SOME OF THE MOST FEARED MOBSTERS IN TEHRAN WERE HIRED BY THE CIA TO STAGE PRO-SHAH RIOTS ON 19 AUGUST. OTHER CIA-PAID MEN WERE BROUGHT INTO TEHRAN IN BUSES AND TRUCKS, AND TOOK OVER THE STREETS OF THE CITY.[14] 800 PEOPLE WERE KILLED DURING AND AS A DIRECT RESULT OF THE CONFLICT.[2] MOSADDEGH WAS ARRESTED, TRIED AND CONVICTED OF TREASON BY THE SHAH'S MILITARY COURT. ON 21 DECEMBER 1953, HE WAS SENTENCED TO THREE YEARS IN JAIL, THEN PLACED UNDER HOUSE ARREST FOR THE REMAINDER OF HIS LIFE.MOSADDEGH'S SUPPORTERS WERE ROUNDED UP, IMPRISONED, TORTURED OR EXECUTED.
AFTER THE COUP, PAHLAVI RULED AS AN AUTHORITARIAN MONARCH FOR THE NEXT 26 YEARS, UNTIL HE WAS OVERTHROWN IN A POPULAR REVOLT IN 1979. THE TANGIBLE BENEFITS THE UNITED STATES REAPED FROM OVERTHROWING IRAN'S ELECTED GOVERNMENT INCLUDED A SHARE OF IRAN'S OIL WEALTH[19] AS WELL AS RESOLUTE PREVENTION OF THE SLIM POSSIBILITY THAT THE IRANIAN GOVERNMENT MIGHT ALIGN ITSELF WITH THE SOVIET UNION, ALTHOUGH THE LATTER MOTIVATION PRODUCES CONTROVERSY AMONG HISTORIANS. WASHINGTON CONTINUALLY SUPPLIED ARMS TO THE UNPOPULAR SHAH, AND THE CIA-TRAINED SAVAK, HIS REPRESSIVE SECRET POLICE FORCE. THE COUP IS WIDELY BELIEVED TO HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY CONTRIBUTED TO ANTI-AMERICAN SENTIMENT IN IRAN AND THE MIDDLE EAST. THE 1979 IRANIAN REVOLUTION DEPOSED THE SHAH AND REPLACED THE PRO-WESTERN ROYAL DICTATORSHIP WITH THE LARGELY ANTI-WESTERN ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN.

[U.S. FOREIGN POLICY IN PERSPECTIVE: CLIENTS, ENEMIES AND EMPIRE. DAVID SYLVAN, STEPHEN MAJESKI] ON 4 NOVEMBER 1979, A GROUP OF IRANIAN STUDENTS SEIZED US EMBASSY PERSONNEL, LABELING THE EMBASSY A "DEN OF SPIES". THEY ACCUSED ITS PERSONNEL OF BEING CIA AGENTS PLOTTING TO OVERTHROW THE REVOLUTIONARY GOVERNMENT, AS THE CIA HAD DONE TO MOSADDEGH IN 1953. WHILE THE STUDENT RINGLEADERS HAD NOT ASKED FOR PERMISSION FROM KHOMEINI TO SEIZE THE EMBASSY, KHOMEINI NONETHELESS SUPPORTED THE EMBASSY TAKEOVER AFTER HEARING OF ITS SUCCESS. WHILE MOST OF THE FEMALE AND AFRICAN AMERICAN HOSTAGES WERE RELEASED WITHIN THE FIRST MONTHS, THE REMAINING 52 HOSTAGES WERE HELD FOR 444 DAYS. JIMMY CARTER ORDERED MILITARY ATTEMPTED A RESCUE OPERATION, OPERATION EAGLE CLAW, ON APRIL 24, 1980, WHICH RESULTED IN THE DEATH OF ONE IRANIAN CIVILIAN IN A FAILED MISSION, AN THE DEATHS OF EIGHT AMERICAN INVADERS,, AND THE DESTRUCTION OF TWO AIRCRAFT. IT ENDED WITH THE SIGNING OF THE ALGIERS ACCORDS IN ALGERIA ON JANUARY 19, 1981.

PRESIDENT REAGAN BACKED AND FINANCIALLY AIDED HIS FRIEND SADDAM HUSSEIN'S EIGHT YEAR LONG INVASION OF IRAN AND HAD US SPY SATELLITES REPORT THE POSITION OF DEFENDING IRANIAN TROOPS.
UNITED STATES SUPPORT FOR IRAQ DURING THE IRAN–IRAQ WAR, AS A COUNTERBALANCE TO POST-REVOLUTIONARY IRAN, INCLUDED SEVERAL BILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF ECONOMIC AID, THE SALE OF DUAL-USE TECHNOLOGY, NON-U.S. ORIGIN WEAPONRY, CHEMICALS NECESSARY FOR GAS MANUFACTURE, MILITARY INTELLIGENCE, SPECIAL OPERATIONS TRAINING, AND DIRECT INVOLVEMENT IN WARFARE AGAINST IRAN. [FRIEDMAN, ALAN. SPIDER'S WEB: THE SECRET HISTORY OF HOW THE WHITE HOUSE ILLEGALLY ARMED IRAQ, BANTAM BOOKS, 1993]

SUPPORT FROM THE U.S. FOR IRAQ WAS NOT A SECRET AND WAS FREQUENTLY DISCUSSED IN OPEN SESSION OF THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. ON JUNE 9, 1992, TED KOPPEL REPORTED ON ABC'S NIGHTLINE, "IT IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY CLEAR THAT GEORGE BUSH, OPERATING LARGELY BEHIND THE SCENES THROUGHOUT THE 1980S, INITIATED AND SUPPORTED MUCH OF THE FINANCING, INTELLIGENCE, AND MILITARY HELP THAT BUILT SADDAM'S IRAQ INTO" THE POWER IT BECAME", AND "REAGAN/BUSH ADMINISTRATIONS PERMITTED—AND FREQUENTLY ENCOURAGED—THE FLOW OF MONEY, AGRICULTURAL CREDITS, DUAL-USE TECHNOLOGY, CHEMICALS, AND WEAPONS TO IRAQ." [FRIEDMAN, ALAN. SPIDER'S WEB: THE SECRET HISTORY OF HOW THE WHITE HOUSE ILLEGALLY ARMED IRAQ, BANTAM BOOKS, 1993] IRAN AIR CIVILIAN JET AIRLINER FLIGHT 655 WAS SHOT DOWN BY U.S. MISSILES ON JULY 3, 1988, OVER THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ, TOWARD THE END OF THE IRAN–IRAQ WAR. THE AIRCRAFT, AN AIRBUS A300 WAS FLYING FROM BANDAR ABBAS, IRAN, TO DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, OVER IRAN'S TERRITORIAL WATERS IN THE PERSIAN GULF ON ITS USUAL FLIGHT PATH WHEN IT WAS DESTROYED BY THE UNITED STATES NAVY GUIDED MISSILE CRUISER USS VINCENNES (CG-49), KILLING ALL 290 PASSENGERS AND CREW ABOARD. AT THE INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE. AS PART OF THE SETTLEMENT, THE US AGREED TO PAY US$61.8 MILLION, AN AVERAGE OF $213,103.45 PER PASSENGER, IN COMPENSATION TO THE FAMILIES OF THE IRANIAN VICTIMS. HOWEVER, THE UNITED STATES HAS NEVER ADMITTED RESPONSIBILITY, NOR APOLOGIZED TO IRAN. AT THE UN THE SOVIET UNION ASKED THE U.S. TO WITHDRAW FROM THE AREA. THE TOTAL IRANIAN CASUALTIES OF THE WAR WERE ESTIMATED TO BE ANYWHERE BETWEEN 500,000 AND 1,000,000; WITH MORE THAN 100,000 IRANIANS BEING VICTIMS OF IRAQ'S CHEMICAL

ON MAY 6, 1995, CLINTON SIGNED EXECUTIVE ORDER 12957 WHICH IMPLEMENTED TIGHT OIL AND TRADE SANCTIONS ON IRAN AND MADE IT ILLEGAL FOR AMERICAN CORPORATIONS OR THEIR FOREIGN SUBSIDIARIES TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CONTRACT "FOR THE FINANCING OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF PETROLEUM RESOURCES LOCATED IN IRAN." ON MAY 6, 1995, PRESIDENT CLINTON ISSUED EXECUTIVE ORDER 12959 WHICH BANNED ALMOST ALL TRADE BETWEEN U.S. BUSINESSES AND THE IRANIAN GOVERNMENT WITH THE EXCEPTION OF INFORMATIONAL MATERIALS. BEGINNING IN 1997, THE ADMINISTRATION BEGAN TO TAKE A SOFTER APPROACH TOWARDS IRAN, PARTICULARLY AFTER THE ELECTION OF REFORMIST MOHAMMAD KHATAMI AS THE PRESIDENT OF IRAN. THAT YEAR, SECRETARY OF STATE MADELEINE ALBRIGHT AND PRESIDENT CLINTON MANDATED WHAT COULD BE CONSIDERED AN APOLOGY TO THE IRANIAN PEOPLE FOR THE 1953 CIA-ASSISTED COUP THAT OVERTHREW THE DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED PRIME MINISTER, MOHAMMED MOSSADEGH, AND REPLACED HIM WITH THE SHAH. LATER. ALBRIGHT AND CLINTON ALSO ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE U.S.-BACKED GOVERNMENT OF THE SHAH "OPPRESSED POLITICAL OPPONENTS."

IN JANUARY OF 2002, PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH CALLED IRAN PART OF AN "AXIS OF EVIL" DURING HIS FIRST STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS.
HE SAID, "IRAN AGGRESSIVELY PURSUES THESE WEAPONS AND EXPORTS TERROR, WHILE AN UNELECTED FEW REPRESS THE IRANIAN PEOPLE'S HOPE FOR FREEDOM. STATES LIKE THESE, AND THEIR TERRORIST ALLIES, CONSTITUTE AN AXIS OF EVIL, ARMING TO THREATEN THE PEACE OF THE WORLD. BY SEEKING WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION, THESE REGIMES POSE A GRAVE AND GROWING DANGER."

REPORT: OBAMA SECRETLY ORDERED CYBER ATTACKS ON IRAN'S NUCLEAR PROGRAM

BY HAARETZ, ISRAEL, JUNE 01, 2012

SHORTLY AFTER TAKING OFFICE IN 2009, U.S. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA SECRETLY ORDERED SOPHISTICATED ATTACKS ON THE COMPUTER SYSTEMS THAT CONTROL IRAN'S NUCLEAR ENRICHMENT FACILITIES, THE NEW YORK TIMES REPORTED.

ACCORDING TO THE REPORT, OBAMA DECIDED TO EXPAND ATTACKS THAT HAD BEGUN DURING THE GEORGE W. BUSH ADMINISTRATION.

THE REPORT SAID THAT THE STUXNET WORM, THE EXISTENCE OF WHICH BECAME PUBLIC IN 2010, WAS DEVELOPED BY THE UNITED STATES AND ISRAEL AS PART OF A JOINT EFFORT TO SABOTAGE THE IRANIAN NUCLEAR PROGRAM.

OBAMA REPORTEDLY DECIDED THAT CYBER ATTACKS SHOULD CONTINUE, EVEN AFTER STUXNET WAS PUBLICIZED. ...

THE REPORT COMES ALMOST A WEEK AFTER THE INTERNET SECURITY COMPANY KASPERSKY LAB ANNOUNCED THAT IT HAD UNCOVERED A 'CYBER-ESPIONAGE WORM' DESIGNED TO COLLECT AND DELETE SENSITIVE INFORMATION, PRIMARILY IN MIDDLE EASTERN COUNTRIES.

KASPERSKY CALLED THE MALWARE, NAMED "FLAME," THE "MOST SOPHISTICATED CYBER-WEAPON YET UNLEASHED." IT SAID THE BUG HAD INFECTED COMPUTERS IN IRAN, THE WEST BANK, SUDAN, SYRIA, LEBANON, SAUDI ARABIA AND EGYPT.

10. SYRIA


SYRIA: CIA, M16, FRENCH, MOSSAD, SAUDI INVOLVEMENT UNREPORTED IN CORPORATIST MEDIA. 6/27,2012, BY JAY JANSON
WHAT IS UNFOLDING IN SYRIA IS AN ARMED INSURRECTION SUPPORTED INSTIGATED COVERTLY BY FOREIGN POWERS FRANCE, BRITAIN, ISRAEL, TURKEY, AND SAUDI ARABIA LED BY THE US CIA. ARMED INSURGENTS BELONGING TO ISLAMIST ORGANIZATIONS HAVE CROSSED THE BORDER FROM TURKEY, LEBANON AND JORDAN. THE US STATE DEPARTMENT HAS CONFIRMED THAT IT IS SUPPORTING THE INSURGENCY. A MONOLITHIC UNIFIED-SLANT MEDIA CARTEL RESTRICTS REPORTS TO INDISCRIMINATE KILLING OF CIVILIAN PROTESTERS BY SYRIAN GOVERNMENT AS IF NOTHING ELSE IS HAPPENING.

WHEN THE WEST’S WAR ON GADDAFI IS GOING WELL, AMERICAN NEWS COMMENTATORS CAN IN RARE MOMENTS PROUDLY ADMIT THAT THE CIA IS HEAVILY INVOLVED. NO SO, WHEN IF COMES TO SYRIA. IT'S TOO EARLY. THE PUBLIC HAS NOT BEEN YET BEEN PROPERLY TAUGHT TO HATE SYRIA'S PRESIDENT ASSAD SUFFICIENTLY.

THE CORPORATIST MEDIA CARTEL THAT CONTROLS WHAT NEWS IS SELECTED AND HOW AND WITH WHAT INTENTION IT SHALL BE BROADCASTED HAS DONE ITS BEST TO DEMONIZE ASSAD. NEWS NETWORKS AND NEWSPAPERS REPEAT DAY IN DAY OUT THAT SYRIAN GOVERNMENT FORCES ARE SHOOTING AND MASSACRING PROTESTERS, PERIOD. THEY DON’T REPORT ANYTHING ELSE, MAKING IT APPEAR NOTHING ELSE IS HAPPENING. WHEN IT IS NECESSARY TO ADMIT THAT POLICE AND SOLDIERS ARE BEING AMBUSHED AND KILLED, A COVER STORY COMES WITH IT, LIKE, ‘IT IS SUSPECTED THAT THEY WERE KILLED BY DEFECTING POLICE AND MILITARY.’

THE WESTERN CONTROLLED MEDIA RESORTS, AS IN LIBYA REPORTING TO FLIMFLAM. THE SAME VIDEOS AND PHOTOS OF ARMED GROUPS PERCHED ON THE ROOFTOPS AND FIRING AT RANDOM INTO THE CROWD OR ON POLICE FORCES BROADCAST ON SYRIA'S NATIONAL TELEVISION NETWORKS ARE USED BY WESTERN AND SAUDI TELEVISION CHANNELS TO ATTRIBUTE THESE CRIMES TO THE GOVERNMENT OF DAMASCUS.

THIS AMAZING GREAT CARTEL OF PENTAGON/CIA FED MEDIA CONGLOMERATES, WHICH SEEMS TO HAVE THE GREAT MAJORITY OF THE BASICALLY INDIFFERENT POPULATION OF THE WEST IN TOW, IS EFFORTLESSLY RUNNING ITS USUAL CASCADE OF DISINFORMATION, HALF-TRUTHS AND PROPAGANDA PREPARING JUSTIFICATION FOR MILITARY INTERVENTION AS PREVIOUSLY IN THE CASES OF LIBYA, IRAQ, AFGHANISTAN, SOMALIA, YEMEN, PAKISTAN AND IRAN.

HOWEVER, "THE PLAN TO DESTABILIZE SYRIA IS NOT WORKING ALL THAT WELL. IT SUCCEEDED IN PERSUADING PUBLIC OPINION THAT THE COUNTRY IS IN THE GRIPS OF A BRUTAL DICTATORSHIP, BUT IT ALSO WELDED THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE SYRIAN POPULATION FIRMLY BEHIND ITS GOVERNMENT.

A FEW SCHOLARLY SITES ON THE INTERNET ALWAYS MANAGE TO FILL IN WHAT IS INTENTIONALLY BLACKED OUT IN PENTAGON COUNSELED AND FED COMMERCIAL MASS MEDIA OF THE WESTERN PSEUDO-DEMOCRACIES. MICHAEL CHOSSUDOVSKY, CONSULTANT WITH A HALF-DOZEN UN AGENCIES AND PUBLISHER OF GLOBAL RESEARCH OUT OF CANADA TELLS US:

“WHAT IS UNFOLDING IN SYRIA IS AN ARMED INSURRECTION SUPPORTED COVERTLY BY FOREIGN POWERS INCLUDING THE US, TURKEY AND ISRAEL. ARMED INSURGENTS BELONGING TO ISLAMIST ORGANIZATIONS HAVE CROSSED THE BORDER FROM TURKEY, LEBANON AND JORDAN. THE US STATE DEPARTMENT HAS CONFIRMED THAT IT IS SUPPORTING THE INSURGENCY. U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL VICTORIA NULAND, 'WE STARTED TO EXPAND CONTACTS WITH THE SYRIANS, THOSE WHO ARE CALLING FOR CHANGE, BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY.'" 

ACTION AGAINST SYRIA IS PART OF A "MILITARY ROADMAP", A SEQUENCING OF MILITARY OPERATIONS. ACCORDING TO FORMER NATO COMMANDER GENERAL WESLEY CLARK--THE PENTAGON HAD CLEARLY IDENTIFIED IRAQ, LIBYA, SYRIA AND LEBANON AS TARGET COUNTRIES OF A US-NATO INTERVENTION:
"[THE] FIVE-YEAR CAMPAIGN PLAN [INCLUDED]... A TOTAL OF SEVEN COUNTRIES, BEGINNING WITH IRAQ, THEN SYRIA, LEBANON, LIBYA, IRAN, SOMALIA AND SUDAN" (PENTAGON OFFICIAL QUOTED BY GENERAL WESLEY CLARK) IN WINNING MODERN WARS(PAGE 130) GENERAL WESLEY CLARK. 

THE OBJECTIVE IS TO DESTABILIZE THE SYRIAN STATE AND IMPLEMENT REGIME CHANGE THROUGH THE COVERT SUPPORT OF AN ARMED INSURGENCY, INTEGRATED BY ISLAMIST MILITIA. THE REPORTS ON CIVILIAN DEATHS ARE USED TO PROVIDE A PRETEXT AND A JUSTIFICATION FOR HUMANITARIAN INTERVENTION UNDER THE PRINCIPLE "RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT".’ 

MEDIA DISINFORMATION

WHAT IS MENTIONED PROFUSELY IS THAT THE ARMED FORCES AND THE POLICE ARE INVOLVED IN THE INDISCRIMINATE KILLING OF CIVILIAN PROTESTERS. PRESS REPORTS CONFIRM, HOWEVER, FROM THE OUTSET OF THE PROTEST MOVEMENT AN EXCHANGE OF GUNFIRE BETWEEN ARMED INSURGENTS AND THE POLICE, WITH CASUALTIES REPORTED ON BOTH SIDES.

THE INSURRECTION STARTED IN MID MARCH IN THE BORDER CITY OF DARAA, WHICH IS 10 KM FROM THE JORDANIAN BORDER. THE DARAA "PROTEST MOVEMENT" ON MARCH 18 HAD ALL THE APPEARANCES OF A STAGED EVENT INVOLVING, IN ALL LIKELIHOOD, COVERT SUPPORT TO ISLAMIC TERRORISTS BY MOSSAD AND/OR WESTERN INTELLIGENCE. GOVERNMENT SOURCES POINT TO THE ROLE OF RADICAL SALAFIST GROUPS (SUPPORTED BY ISRAEL)
OTHER REPORTS HAVE POINTED TO THE ROLE OF SAUDI ARABIA IN FINANCING THE PROTEST MOVEMENT.

WHAT HAS UNFOLDED IN DARAA IN THE WEEKS FOLLOWING THE INITIAL VIOLENT CLASHES ON 17-18 MARCH, IS THE CONFRONTATION BETWEEN THE POLICE AND THE ARMED FORCES ON THE ONE HAND AND ARMED UNITS OF TERRORISTS AND SNIPERS ON THE OTHER WHICH HAVE INFILTRATED THE PROTEST MOVEMENT” THE DESTABILIZATION OF SYRIA AND THE BROADER MIDDLE EAST WAR, BY MICHAEL CHOSSUDOVSKY

ONE WOULD BE NAIVE TO BELIEVE THAT THE CENTURY OF BRUTAL OCCUPATION OF THE ARAB LANDS OF SYRIA, LEBANON, ALGERIA, TUNISIA AND MOROCCO BY FRANCE AND THOSE OF IRAQ, JORDAN, PALESTINE, EGYPT, SUDAN, SOMALILAND, ADEN, AND YEMEN BY THE BRITISH, WITH BOTH OCCUPYING LIBYA AFTER W.W.II, THAT BRITISH M16 AND AND THE FRENCH SECRET SERVICE WOULD NOT BE INDISPENSABLE FOR THE JOHNNY-COME-LATELY AMERICA EMPIRE AND ITS CIA. BUT ONE WOULD HAVE TO BE EVEN MORE NAIVE TO BELIEVE THE EXCELLENT SECRET SERVICE OF ISRAEL, MOSSAD, AT WAR WITH THE ARAB WORLD SINCE 1948 WAS NOT PLAYING A KEY ROLE IN SYRIA AND LIBYA, TWO ADAMANT ADVERSARIES OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL. HERE BELOW IS SOME BACKGROUND.

EXPERTS FEAR ISRAELI DESIGN TO BALKANIZE ARAB STATES BY ADAM MORROW AND KHALED MOUSSA AL-OMRANI, 6/19/11
HTTP://WWW.VOLTAIRENET.ORG/THE-PLAN-TO-DESTABILIZE-SYRIA

IN A STRATEGY FOR ISRAEL IN THE 1980S, IN 1982, WRITTEN BY ODED YINON, THEN A SENIOR ADVISOR FOR ISRAEL'S FOREIGN MINISTRY, THE ESSAY EXPLICITLY CALLS FOR BREAKING UP THE ARAB STATES OF THE REGION ALONG ETHNIC AND SECTARIAN LINES. THE DISSOLUTION OF SYRIA AND IRAQ LATER ON INTO ETHNICALLY OR RELIGIOUSLY UNIQUE AREAS… IS ISRAEL'S PRIMARY TARGET ON THE EASTERN FRONT IN THE LONG RUN."

"IN IRAQ, A DIVISION INTO PROVINCES ALONG ETHNIC/RELIGIOUS LINES… IS POSSIBLE," HE WRITES. "SO, THREE STATES WILL EXIST AROUND THE THREE MAJOR CITIES: BASRA, BAGHDAD AND MOSUL, AND SHIITE AREAS IN THE SOUTH WILL SEPARATE FROM THE SUNNI AND KURDISH NORTH."

AS FOR EGYPT, YINON CALLS FOR BREAKING THE COUNTRY UP INTO "DISTINCT GEOGRAPHICAL REGIONS." THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN INDEPENDENT COPTIC-CHRISTIAN STATE IN UPPER EGYPT, HE WRITES, "ALONGSIDE A NUMBER OF WEAK STATES WITH VERY LOCALIZED POWER AND WITHOUT A CENTRALIZED GOVERNMENT…SEEMS INEVITABLE IN THE LONG RUN."

POLITICAL MANEUVERING IN RECENT YEARS BY ISRAEL AND THE WESTERN POWERS - BOTH OVERT AND COVERT - APPEARS TO CONFORM TO THIS STRATEGY OF BALKANIZATION.

"ISRAEL AND THE U.S. HAVE BOTH HELPED BREAK UP IRAQ BY ENCOURAGING THE EMERGENCE OF AN INDEPENDENT KURDISH STATE AND FOSTERING SUNNI-SHIITE DIVISION," HE SAID. "AND IN SUDAN, EARLIER THIS MONTH, MOHAMED ABBAS, A LEADING MEMBER OF EGYPT'S REVOLUTIONARY COALITION COUNCIL (RCC), LIKEWISE WARNED OF AN ONGOING "CONSPIRACY" AIMED AT BREAKING EGYPT INTO THREE PETTY STATES.

"THE ZIONIST PLAN TO POLITICALLY FRAGMENT THE ARAB MIDDLE EAST SO AS TO KEEP ARAB STATES IN A PERPETUAL STATE OF INSTABILITY AND WEAKNESS HAS BEEN WELL KNOWN FOR THE LAST THREE DECADES," GAMAL MAZLOUM, RETIRED EGYPTIAN MAJOR-GENERAL AND EXPERT ON DEFENSE ISSUES TOLD IPS.

"THE WESTERN CAMPAIGN AGAINST LIBYA ... WAS LAUNCHED WITH THE AIM OF BREAKING LIBYA; LIBYA COULD BE SPLIT IN TWO, WITH GADDAFI STAYING ON IN THE WEST OF THE COUNTRY AND AN EXILED CONTROLLED 'REVOLUTIONARY' GOVERNMENT LOYAL TO THE WESTERN POWERS IN CONTROL OF THE EAST, MOHAMED AL-SAKHAWI, LEADING MEMBER OF EGYPT'S AS-YET-UNLICENSED ARABIC UNITY PARTY, TOLD IPS."

THE SATELLITE-GENERATED MEDIA CONGLOMERATE CARTEL’S UNIFIED SINGLE-ANGLE-PRESENTATION OF WORLD EVENTS IS REALLY DIFFICULT FOR PROGRESSIVE ALTERNATE MEDIA TO DARE CHALLENGE AS SLANTED. ITS DECEPTIONS BECOME TRUTHS FOR THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY. WHEN IT IS FIRMLY ESTABLISHED IN THE MINDS OF MOST THAT SYRIAN AND LIBYAN LEADERS ARE VILLAINS WHAT TO DO? MOST PROGRESSIVE MAGAZINES AND INTERNET SITES AND NEWSLETTERS DEPEND ON KEEPING THEIR LESS POLITICALLY EDUCATED LIBERAL SUBSCRIBERS.

MOST OF US NEVER HEAR OF THE MASS HOMICIDAL CRIMES OF THE CIA IN COUNTRIES LIKE SYRIA UNTIL FILES ARE FORCED OPEN BY FREEDOM OF INFORMATION LAW DECISIONS DECADES TOO LATE? SOCIALIST ANTI-WAR AND ANTI-CAPITALISM JOURNALISM IN THE U.S. IS NOW NEGLIGIBLE.

11. SOMALIA
AFTER INVASION BY ITALY DURING WW II AND SUBSEQUENT BRITISH REOCCUPATION SOMALIA HAD BEEN PERMITTED INDEPENDENCE IN 1960.
THE SAME AS EVERY OTHER NATION, FORMERLY MILITARY OCCUPIED BY COLONIAL EMPIRES SEEKING BEYOND FORMAL INDEPENDENCE ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL FREEDOM, SOMALIA BECAME A PAWN IN THE COLD WAR FOR TRADING PRIVILEGES AND MILITARY ALLIANCES BETWEEN THE SOVIET UNION, BACKING INDIGENOUS NATIONALISM AND SOCIALISM, AND THE US AND EUROPEAN POWERS BACKING THE INTERESTS OF FOREIGN INVESTORS AND INDIGENOUS COLLABORATION.

THEY ROUNDED UP THIEVES AND KILLERS, PUT THEM IN IRON CAGES, AND HELD TRIALS. ISLAMIC LAW, OR SHARIA, WAS THE ONE SET OF PRINCIPLES THAT DIFFERENT CLANS COULD AGREE ON; THE SOMALI ELDERS CALLED THEIR NETWORK THE ISLAMIC COURTS UNION.

12. YEMEN




MORE THAN A CENTURY OF BRITISH CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY IN YEMEN PRECEDED THOSE OF THE US. BRITISH WITHDREW THEIR TROOPS, UNDER FIRE FROM YEMEN INDEPENDENCE FIGHTERS, IN 1967. OF COURSE DURING THE CENTRURIES OF SAVAGE WHITE RACIST COLONIAL IMPERIALISM AND MILITRARY OCCUPATION OF THE MORE SOPHISTICAED ANCIENT CULTURES OF THE NON-WHITE 84% OF MANKIND, THERE WAS EVEN LESS TALK OF IMPERIALIST CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY THAT NOW.




A RADICAL (MARXIST) WING OF THE NATIONAL LIBERATION FRONT GAINED POWER IN SOUTH YEMEN IN JUNE, 1969.




THE NLF CHANGED THE NAME OF SOUTH YEMEN ON 1 DECEMBER 1970 TO THE PEOPLE'S DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF YEMEN WITH ALL POLITICAL PARTIES AMALGAMATED INTO THE YEMENI SOCIALIST PART, WHICH BECAME THE ONLY LEGAL PARTY. THE PDRY ESTABLISHED CLOSE TIES WITH THE SOVIET UNION, PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA, CUBA, AND RADICAL PALESTINIANS.






DURING A 1979 BORDER CONFLICT BETWEEN THE YEMEN ARAB REPUBLIC AND THE PEOPLE'S DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF YEMEN, THE UNITED STATES COOPERATED WITH SAUDI ARABIA TO GREATLY EXPAND THE SECURITY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM TO THE YAR BY PROVIDING F-5AIRCRAFT, TANKS, VEHICLES AND TRAINING. GEORGE H.W. BUSH, WHILE VICE PRESIDENT, VISITED IN APRIL 1986, AND PRESIDENT ALI ABDULLAH SALEH VISITED THE UNITED STATES IN JANUARY 1990. [CIA WITH BRITISH M-16 WORKED COVERTLY TO FOSTER A WIN FOR SALEH.]







A SHIA TRIBAL INSURGENCY IN YEMEN, ALSO KNOWN AS THE HOUTHI REBELLION, SA'DAH WAR FOUGHT MOSTLY BY SHABAB AL MUOMINEEN (BELIEVING YOUTH)IS A CIVIL WAR IN NORTHERN YEMEN. IT BEGAN IN JUNE 2004 WHEN DISSIDENT CLERIC HUSSEIN BADREDDIN AL-HOUTHI, HEAD OF THE SHIA ZAIDIYYAH SECT, LAUNCHED AN UPRISING AGAINST THE US BACKED YEMENI GOVERNMENT. MOST OF THE FIGHTING HAS TAKEN PLACE IN SA'DAH GOVERNORATE IN NORTHWESTERN YEMEN ALTHOUGH SOME OF THE FIGHTING SPREAD TO NEIGHBOURING GOVERNORATES AND THE SAUDI PROVINCE OF JIZAN.

AT LEAST 50 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED AND SCORES OTHERS INJURED AFTER US DRONES FIRED SEVERAL MISSILES ON WHAT WASHINGTON CALLS INSURGENTS' TARGETS IN THE TROUBLED NORTH-WEST PAKISTAN.




THE CAUSALITIES OCCURRED WHEN THREE DRONES FIRED COUNTLESS MISSILES ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON AT THE FUNERAL PROCESSION IN THE SOUTH WAZIRISTAN BORDERING AFGHANISTAN.

THE MISSILES HIT THE FUNERAL OF PEOPLE WHO WERE KILLED EARLIER IN THE DAY DURING A SIMILAR STRIKE IN THE VOLATILE REGION.

14. LEBANON











LEBANON WAS TWICE INVADED AND OCCUPIED BY THE ISRAEL DEFENSE FORCES (IDF) IN 1978 AND 1982,[49] WITH THE PLO EXPELLED IN THE SECOND INVASION. ISRAEL REMAINED IN CONTROL OF SOUTHERN LEBANON UNTIL 2000




ON SEPT. 13, PRESIDENT REAGAN AUTHORIZED WHAT WAS CALLED AGGRESSIVE SELF-DEFENSE FOR THE MARINES, INCLUDING AIR AND NAVAL STRIKES.27 FIVE DAYS LATER THE UNITED STATES ESSENTIALLY JOINED THE WAR AGAINST THE MUSLIMS WHEN FOUR U.S. WARSHIPS UNLEASHED THE HEAVIEST NAVAL BOMBARDMENT SINCE VIETNAM INTO SYRIAN AND DRUZE POSITIONS IN EASTERN LEBANON IN SUPPORT OF THE LEBANESE CHRISTIANS.28 [WHITE HOUSE SPOKESMAN LARRY SPEAKES SAID THE LOCAL MARINE COMMANDER IN LEBANON CAN ORDER AIR STRIKES OF FIREPOWER “OF ANY KIND” FROM U.S. NAVAL VESSELS OFF BEIRUT., DAILY RECORD, WASHINGTON, 9/13/1983 THE BOMBARDMENT LASTED FOR THREE DAYS AND WAS PERSONALLY ORDERED BY NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL DIRECTOR ROBERT MCFARLANE, A MARINE CORPS OFFICER DETAILED TO THE WHITE HOUSE WHO WAS IN LEBANON AT THE TIME AND WAS ALSO A STRONG SUPPORTER OF ISRAEL AND ITS LEBANESE MARONITE CHRISTIAN ALLIES. MCFARLANE ISSUED THE ORDER DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE MARINE COMMANDER AT THE AIRPORT, COLONEL TIMOTHY GERAGHTY, STRENUOUSLY ARGUED AGAINST IT BECAUSE, IN THE WORDS OF CORRESPONDENT THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN, “HE KNEW THAT IT WOULD MAKE HIS SOLDIERS PARTY TO WHAT WAS NOW CLEARLY AN INTRA-LEBANESE FIGHT, AND THAT THE LEBANESE MUSLIMS WOULD NOT RETALIATE AGAINST THE NAVY’S SHIPS AT SEA BUT AGAINST THE MARINES ON SHORE.”29

BY THEN, THE MARINES WERE UNDER DAILY ATTACK AND MUSLIMS WERE CHARGING THEY WERE NO LONGER NEUTRAL.30 AT THE SAME TIME THE BATTLESHIP USS NEW JERSEY, WITH 16-INCH GUNS, ARRIVED OFF LEBANON, INCREASING THE NUMBER OF U.S. WARSHIPS OFFSHORE TO 14. SIMILARLY, THE MARINE CONTINGENT AT BEIRUT AIRPORT WAS INCREASED FROM 1,200 TO 1,600.31




THE FIGHT NOW WAS TRULY JOINED BETWEEN THE SHI’I MUSLIMS AND THE MARINES, WHO WERE ESSENTIALLY PINNED DOWN IN THEIR AIRPORT BUNKERS AND UNDER ORDERS NOT TO TAKE OFFENSIVE ACTIONS. ON OCT. 23, A MUSLIM GUERRILLA DROVE A TRUCK PAST GUARDS AT THE MARINE AIRPORT COMPOUND AND DETONATED AN EXPLOSIVE WITH THE FORCE OF 12,000 POUNDS OF DYNAMITE UNDER A BUILDING HOUSING MARINES AND OTHER U.S. PERSONNEL. ALMOST SIMULTANEOUSLY, A CAR-BOMB EXPLODED AT THE FRENCH COMPOUND IN BEIRUT. 241 AMERICANS AND 58 FRENCH TROOPS WERE KILLED. ON DEC. 3, TWO CARRIER PLANES WERE DOWNED BY SYRIAN MISSILES DURING HEAVY U.S. AIR RAIDS ON EASTERN LEBANON.;33 ON THE SAME DAY, EIGHT MARINES WERE KILLED IN FIGHTING WITH MUSLIM MILITIAMEN AROUND THE BEIRUT AIRPORT.;34

BY THE START OF 1984, AN ALL-OUT SHI’I MUSLIM CAMPAIGN TO RID LEBANON OF ALL AMERICANS WAS UNDERWAY. THE HIGHLY RESPECTED PRESIDENT OF THE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY OF BEIRUT, DR. MALCOLM KERR, A DISTINGUISHED SCHOLAR OF THE ARAB WORLD, WAS GUNNED DOWN ON JAN. 18 OUTSIDE HIS OFFICE BY ISLAMIC MILITANTS

ALIGNED WITH IRAN. THE NEXT DAY PROFESSOR FRANK REGIER, A U.S. CITIZEN TEACHING AT AUB, WAS KIDNAPPED BY MUSLIM RADICALS, BEGINNING OF A SERIES OF KIDNAPPINGS OF AMERICANS IN BEIRUT. THAT WOULD LEAD TO THE EVENTUAL EXPULSION OF NEARLY ALL AMERICANS FROM LEBANON WHERE THEY HAD PROSPERED FOR MORE THAN A CENTURY. EVEN TODAY AMERICANS STILL ARE PROHIBITED FROM TRAVELING TO LEBANON.

THE DAY AFTER REGIER’S KIDNAPPING, ON FEB. 7, 1984, REAGAN SUDDENLY REVERSED HIMSELF AND ANNOUNCED THAT ALL U.S. MARINES WOULD SHORTLY BE “REDEPLOYED.” THE NEXT DAY THE BATTLESHIP USS NEW JERSEY FIRED 290 ROUNDS OF ONE-TON SHELLS FROM ITS 16-INCH GUNS INTO LEBANON AS A FINAL ACT OF U.S. FRUSTRATION.




[IN HIS 800 PAGE VOLUME “PITY THE NATION” EMINENT MIDDLE EASTERN CORRESPONDENT ROBERT FISH, AT HOME IN LEBANON, WROTE, “THEY BROUGHT THE OLD BATTLESHIP NEW JERSEY TOWARDS THE SHORE FOR ONE LONG BROADSIDE, TO THE ASTONISHMENT OF THE LEBANESE AND ALL THE REST OF US. WHAT WAS THE SHIP FIRING AT? IT HAD NO EFFECT ON THE SHIA MUSLIM MILITIAMEN WHO CALMLY DROVE INTO THE LAST AMER BASTION ON THE TIDELINE AT GREEN BEACH AND HOISTED A GREEN ISLAMIC FLAG WHERE THE STARES AND STRIPES HAS BEEN LOWER A FEW HOURS BEFORE. THUS THE AMER LEFT LEBANON, THEIR LAST BOATS TRAILING A WAKE THROUGH THE POLLUTED WATER TO THE SOUND OF GUNFIRE.

SIX DAS LATER, THE COMMANDER OF THE NEW JERSEY, CAPTAIN RL D. MILLIGAN, WAS INTERVIEWED BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AT THE EL PAHA NIGHTCLUB IN THE ISRAELI PORT OF HAIFA. "I THINK THE BATTLESHIP IS A DEFINATE WEAPON OF PEACE,"HE SAID. '

AND HOPE WE HAVE MADE SOME IMPACT ON BRINGING PEACE TO LEBANON.']

REAGAN’S “REDEPLOYMENT” WAS COMPLETED BY FEB. 26, WHEN THE LAST OF THE MARINES RETREATED FROM LEBANON.

THE MISSION OF THE MARINES HAD BEEN A HUMILIATING FAILURE. [FROM ISRAEL CHARGED WITH SYSTEMATIC HARASSMENT OF U.S. MARINES, BY DONALD NEFF

FORMER TIME MAGAZINE BUREAU CHIEF, ISRAEL




FISK CONCLUDES, “THE MOMENT THE SIXTH FLEET OPENED FIRE TO HELP GEMAYEL'S FORCES, THE MARINES IN BEIRUT BECAME PARTICIPANTS IN THE CIVIL WAR. THE VERY SECOND THAT THE FIRST US NAVY SHELL LANDED AMONG THE DRUZE AT SOQ AL-GHARB, THE AMERICANS ALIGNED THEMSELVES WITH THE [FASCIST CHRISTIAN] PHALANGE IN OPEN WAR AGAINST THE MUSLIMS OF LEBANON. EVERY SELF-IMPOSED RULE OF THE 'PEACE-KEEPING' FORCE WOULD BE BROKEN.

AMER PRODUCED ANOTHER EVER MORE FANCIFUL CHIMERA -. IRANIAN SUICIDE PILOTS WERE INSTALLED IN BALLBEK, WE WERE INFORMED.”

15. RWANDA







IN APRIL 1994, A GENOCIDE ERUPTED IN RWANDA DUE TO A CONFLICT BETWEENHUTU AND TUTSI ETHNIC GROUPS. OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, AN ESTIMATED 500,000 TO 1 MILLION RWANDANS, MAINLY TUTSI, WERE KILLED. BY JULY, THE RWANDAN PATRIOTIC FRONT TOOK OVER THE COUNTRY. ALTHOUGH THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION AND THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY WAS AWARE OF THE GENOCIDE TAKING PLACE IN RWANDA, NO ACTION WAS UNDERTAKEN.[4] BY THE END OF JULY, NEARLY TWO MILLION OF HUTUS FLED THE COUNTRY FOR SAFETY, SPAWNING THE GROWTH OF REFUGEE CAMPS IN NEIGHBORING COUNTRIES.[5] AS THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE DIED OF DISEASE AND STARVATION IN THESE REFUGEE CAMPS, CLINTON ORDERED AIRDROPS OF FOOD AND SUPPLIES FOR THE HUTU REFUGEES, INCLUDING KNOWNGENOCIDAIRES. IN JULY, HE SENT 200 NON-COMBATANT TROOPS TO THE RWANDA CAPITAL OF KIGALI TO MANAGE THE AIRPORT AND DISTRIBUTE RELIEF SUPPLIES. THESE TROOPS WERE SUBSEQUENTLY WITHDRAWN BY OCTOBER 1994. CLINTON AND THE UNITED NATIONS FACED CRITICISM FOR THEIR NON-RESPONSE TO THE GENOCIDE. WHEN CLINTON TRAVELED TO AFRICA IN 1998, HE SAID THAT THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY, PRESUMABLY INCLUDING THE US, MUST ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THE MASSACRES.[6] WHEN SPEAKING ABOUT THE RWANDA CRISIS, CLINTON CALLED IT HIS WORST FAILURE, ADMITTING "I BLEW IT."[7]

4/9/12, PENTAGON PRODUCES SATELLITE PHOTOS OF 1994 RWANDA GENOCIDE, KEITH HARMON SNOW, CONSCIOUS BEING


EIGHTEEN YEARS AFTER THE HISTORIC '100 DAYS OF GENOCIDE' IN RWANDA THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT HAS SUDDENLY PRODUCED NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN SATELLITE IMAGES TO SUPPORT THE GENOCIDE EXTRADITION TRIAL OF A FORMER RWANDAN NOW U.S. CITIZEN IN NEW HAMPSHIRE (USA). THE EXISTENCE OF SATELLITE IMAGERY FROM 1994 WOULD ENABLE THE 'INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY' TO FURTHER EXPLORE HERETOFORE HIDDEN FACTS ABOUT THE DOUBLE PRESIDENTIAL ASSASSINATIONS OF APRIL 6 OR MASSACRES COMMITTED BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER 1994.


IN A REMARKABLE DEVELOPMENT, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN THE HISTORY OF THE 'RWANDA GENOCIDE' TRIALS OR RELATED RWANDA ASYLUM HEARINGS WHERE PENTAGON SATELLITE PHOTOGRAPHS HAVE BEEN PRODUCED AS EVIDENCE, AND THE FIRST TIME THAT THE EXISTENCE OF SATELLITE PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN OVER RWANDA DURING THE SO-CALLED '100 DAYS OF GENOCIDE' HAS EVER BEEN VERIFIED.

LATER IN THE MUNYENYEZI TRIAL THE U.S. PROSECUTORS PRODUCED A 'PENTAGON ANALYST' WHO TESTIFIED ABOUT THE SATELLITE PHOTOGRAPHS. THE PENTAGON ANALYST WAS MR. ERIC R. BENN, TECHNICAL EXECUTIVE, ANALYSIS AND PRODUCTION DIRECTORATE, NATIONAL GEOSPATIAL-INTELLIGENCE AGENCY (NGA). THE PHOTOGRAPHS INTRODUCED INTO THE PUBLIC RECORD INCLUDE VERY HIGH RESOLUTION IMAGES SHOT OVER RWANDA IN MAY, JUNE AND JULY OF 1994. THE NGA IS ONE OF THE MOST SECRETIVE ORGANIZATIONS ON EARTH AND ITS CUSTOMERS INCLUDE THE PENTAGON AND ALL 16 SHADOWY AGENCIES OF THE U.S. INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY (IC).

16. SUDAN














THE AL-SHIFA, ARABIC FOR "HEALING") PHARMACEUTICAL FACTORY IN KHARTOUM NORTH, SUDAN, WAS CONSTRUCTED BETWEEN 1992 AND 1996 WITH COMPONENTS IMPORTED FROM THE UNITED STATES, SWEDEN, ITALY,SWITZERLAND, GERMANY, INDIA, AND THAILAND.THE INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX WAS COMPOSED OF AROUND FOUR BUILDINGS. IT WAS THE LARGEST PHARMACEUTICAL FACTORY IN KHARTOUM AND EMPLOYED OVER 300 WORKERS, PRODUCING MEDICINE BOTH FOR HUMAN AND VETERINARY USE. THE FACTORY WAS USED PRIMARILY FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF ANTI-MALARIA MEDICINES AND VETERINARY PRODUCTS.




THE FACTORY WAS DESTROYED IN 1998 BY A MISSILE ATTACK LAUNCHED BY THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, KILLING ONE EMPLOYEE AND WOUNDING ELEVEN. CRITICS OF THE ATTACK HAVE ESTIMATED THAT UP TO TENS OF THOUSANDS OF SUDANESE CIVILIANS DIED THROUGHOUT SUDAN AS THE SUPPLY OF NECESSARY DRUGS WAS CUT OFF.[1][2] THE US GOVERNMENT STATED SEVERAL REASONS FOR ITS ATTACK:
RETALIATION FOR THE 1998 UNITED STATES EMBASSY BOMBINGS AGAINST THE US EMBASSIES IN DAR ES SALAAM, TANZANIA AND NAIROBI, KENYA.
THE ALLEGED USE OF THE FACTORY FOR THE PROCESSING OF VX NERVE AGENT.
FOR ALLEGED TIES BETWEEN THE OWNERS OF THE PLANT AND AL QUAEDA.

THESE JUSTIFICATIONS FOR THE BOMBING WERE DISPUTED BY THE OWNERS OF THE PLANT, THE SUDANESE GOVERNMENT, AND OTHER GOVERNMENTS.



SUDAN HAS SINCE INVITED THE U.S. TO CONDUCT CHEMICAL TESTS AT THE SITE FOR EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT ITS CLAIM THAT THE PLANT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A CHEMICAL WEAPONS FACTORY; SO FAR, THE U.S. HAS REFUSED THE INVITATION TO INVESTIGATE. NEVERTHELESS, THE U.S. HAS REFUSED TO OFFICIALLY APOLOGIZE FOR THE ATTACKS, SUGGESTING THAT SOME PRIVATELY STILL SUSPECT THAT CHEMICAL WEAPONS ACTIVITY EXISTED THERE.[6]

THE KHARTOUM ATTACK WAS NOTED FOR ITS OUTSTANDING PRECISION, AS SUCCESSIVE MISSILES ALL BUT LEVELED THE AL-SHIFA WORKS WITH MINIMAL DAMAGE TO SURROUNDING AREAS, ALTHOUGH ONE PERSON WAS KILLED AND TEN WOUNDED IN THE ATTACK.

DIRECTLY AFTER THE STRIKE THE SUDANESE GOVERNMENT DEMANDED THAT THE SECURITY COUNCILCONDUCT AN INVESTIGATION OF THE SITE TO DETERMINE IF IT HAD BEEN USED TO PRODUCE CHEMICAL WEAPONS OR PRECURSORS. SUCH AN INVESTIGATION WAS FROM THE START OPPOSED BY THE US. NOR HAS USA EVER LET AN INDEPENDENT LABORATORY ANALYZE THE SAMPLE ALLEGEDLY CONTAINING EMPTA. MICHAEL BARLETTA, BULLETIN ATOMIC SCIENTISTS, CONCLUDES THAT THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THE AL-SHIFA FACTORY WAS EVER INVOLVED IN PRODUCTION OF CHEMICAL WEAPONS, AND IT IS KNOWN THAT MANY OF THE INITIAL US ALLEGATIONS WERE WRONG.[4]

==========================================

17. PANAMA







IN THE FIRST EIGHTY YEARS FOLLOWING INDEPENDENCE FROM SPAIN, PANAMA WAS A DEPARTMENT OF COLOMBIA, SINCE VOLUNTARILY BECOMING PART OF IT AT THE END OF 1821.




IN NOVEMBER 1903, PANAMA PROCLAIMED ITS INDEPENDENCE AND CONCLUDED THE HAY/BUNAU-VARILLA TREATY WITH THE UNITED STATES. THE TREATY GRANTED RIGHTS TO THE UNITED STATES "AS IF IT WERE SOVEREIGN" IN A ZONE ROUGHLY 10 MILES (16 KM) WIDE AND 50 MILES (80 KM) LONG. IN THAT ZONE, THE U.S. WOULD BUILD A CANAL, THEN ADMINISTER, FORTIFY, AND DEFEND IT "IN PERPETUITY."




IN 1914, THE UNITED STATES COMPLETED THE EXISTING 83 KM (52 MI) CANAL.




FROM 1903 UNTIL 1968, PANAMA WAS A CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRACY DOMINATED BY A COMMERCIALLY ORIENTED OLIGARCHY. DURING THE 1950S, THE PANAMANIAN MILITARY BEGAN TO CHALLENGE THE OLIGARCHY'S POLITICAL HEGEMONY.




IN 1968 LIEUTENANT COLONEL OMAR TORRIJOS HERRERA AND MAJOR BORIS MARTÍNEZ COMMANDED A COUP.

THE MILITARY JUSTIFIED ITSELF BY DECLARING THAT ARIAS MADRID WAS TRYING TO INSTALL A DICTATORSHIP, AND PROMISED A RETURN TO CONSTITUTIONAL RULE.




THE GUARD BEGAN A SERIES OF POPULIST MEASURES THAT WOULD GAIN SUPPORT FOR THE COUP. AMONGST THEM WERE THE FREEZING OF PRICES ON FOOD, MEDICINE[17] AND OTHER GOODS UNTIL JANUARY 31, 1969, THE FREEZING OF RENTING PRICES, AND THE LEGALIZATION OF THE PERMANENCE OF SQUATTING FAMILIES IN BOROUGHS SURROUNDING THE HISTORIC SITE OF PANAMA VIEJO.[16] THE MILITARY SOON BEGAN CALLING ITSELF EL GOBIERNO REVOLUCIONARIO ("THE REVOLUTIONARY GOVERNMENT").




DURING OMAR TORRIJOS'S CONTROL, THE MILITARY REGIME TRANSFORMED THE POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC STRUCTURE OF THE COUNTRY BY INITIATING MASSIVE COVERAGE OF SOCIAL SECURITY SERVICES AND EXPANDING PUBLIC EDUCATION.




THE CONSTITUTION WAS CHANGED IN 1972. FOR THE REFORM TO THE CONSTITUTION, THE MILITARY CREATED A NEW ORGANIZATION, THE ASSEMBLY OF CORREGIMIENTO REPRESENTATIVES, WHICH REPLACED THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. THE NEW ASSEMBLY, ALSO KNOWN AS THE PODER POPULAR ("POWER OF THE PEOPLE"), WAS COMPOSED OF 505 MEMBERS SELECTED BY THE MILITARY WITHOUT THE PARTICIPATION OF POLITICAL PARTIES, WHICH HAD BEEN ELIMINATED BY THE MILITARY. THE NEW CONSTITUTION PROCLAIMED OMAR TORRIJOS THE "MAXIMUM LEADER OF THE PANAMANIAN REVOLUTION", AND CONCEDED HIM UNLIMITED POWER FOR SIX YEARS, IN 1981,




TORRIJOS DIED IN A PLANECRASH. IT HAS BEEN WIDELY SPECULATED THAT HIS DEATH WAS A CIA ASSASSINATION DUE TO HIS RESISTANCE TO RENEGOTIATE THE PANAMA CANAL TREATY,(NEGOTIATED UNDER THE CARTER ADMINISTRATION), WITH PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN.[18] TORRIJOS' DEATH ALTERED THE TONE OF PANAMA'S POLITICAL EVOLUTION. GENERAL MANUEL NORIEGA WAS FIRMLY IN CONTROL OF BOTH THE PDF AND THE CIVILIAN GOVERNMENT.




THE MILITARY DICTATORSHIP, AT THAT TIME SUPPORTED BY THE UNITED STATES, PERPETRATED THE ASSASSINATION AND TORTURE OF MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED PANAMANIANS AND FORCED INTO EXILE AT LEAST ANOTHER HUNDRED DISSIDENTS (SEE ZÁRATE 15).[20] NORIEGA ALSO BEGAN PLAYING A DOUBLE ROLE IN CENTRAL AMERICA UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE CIA. WHILE THE CONTADORA GROUP CONDUCTED DIPLOMATIC EFFORTS TO ACHIEVE PEACE IN THE REGION, NORIEGA SUPPLIED THE NICARAGUAN CONTRAS AND OTHER GUERRILLAS IN THE REGION WITH WEAPONS AND AMMUNITION (PIZZURNO GELÓS AND ARAÚZ, ESTUDIOS SOBRE EL PANAMÁ REPUBLICANO 602).[16]




ON JUNE 6, 1987, THE RECENTLY RETIRED COLONEL ROBERTO DÍAZ HERRERA, RESENTFUL FOR NORIEGA'S VIOLATION OF THE "TORRIJOS PLAN" OF SUCCESSION THAT WOULD TURN HIM INTO THE CHIEF OF THE MILITARY AFTER NORIEGA, DECIDED TO DENOUNCE THE REGIME. HE REVEALED DETAILS OF THE ELECTORAL FRAUD, ACCUSED NORIEGA OF PLANNING TORRIJOS'S DEATH, DECLARED THAT TORRIJOS HAD RECEIVED 12 MILLION DOLLARS FROM THE SHAH OF IRAN SO THAT PANAMA WOULD GIVE THE EXILED IRANIAN LEADER ASYLUM, AND BLAMED NORIEGA FOR THE ASSASSINATION BY DECAPITATION OF OPPOSITION LEADER DR. HUGO SPADAFORA .[16]




UNITED STATES PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN BEGAN A SERIES OF SANCTIONS AGAINST THE MILITARY REGIME. THE UNITED STATES FROZE ECONOMIC AND MILITARY ASSISTANCE TO PANAMA IN THE SUMMER OF 1987 IN RESPONSE TO THE DOMESTIC POLITICAL CRISIS IN PANAMA AND AN ATTACK ON THE U.S. EMBASSY. YET THESE SANCTIONS DID LITTLE TO OVERTHROW NORIEGA BUT INSTEAD SEVERELY DAMAGED PANAMA'S ECONOMY. THE SANCTIONS HIT THE PANAMANIAN POPULATION HARD AND CAUSED THE GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT (GDP) TO DECLINE ALMOST 25 PERCENT BETWEEN 1987–1989 (SEE ACOSTA N.P.).[21]

ON FEBRUARY 5, 1988, GENERAL MANUEL ANTONIO NORIEGA WAS ACCUSED OF DRUG TRAFFICKING BY FEDERAL JURIES IN TAMPA AND MIAMI.

IN APRIL 1988, THE U.S. PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN INVOKED THE INTERNATIONAL EMERGENCY ECONOMIC POWERS ACT, FREEZING PANAMANIAN GOVERNMENT ASSETS IN ALL U.S. ORGANIZATIONS.




ON DECEMBER 19, 1989, PRESIDENT GEORGE H. W. BUSH DECIDED TO USE FORCE AGAINST PANAMA, DECLARING THAT THE OPERATION WAS NECESSARY TO SAFEGUARD THE LIVES OF U.S. CITIZENS IN PANAMA, DEFEND DEMOCRACY AND HUMAN RIGHTS, COMBAT DRUG TRAFFICKING, AND SECURE THE FUNCTIONING OF THE CANAL AS REQUIRED BY THE TORRIJOS-CARTER TREATIES (NEW YORK TIMES, A TRANSCRIPT OF PRESIDENT BUSH'S ADDRESS N.P.).[22]

OPERATION JUST CAUSE WAS JUSTIFIED BY THE UNITED STATES AS NECESSARY TO SECURE THE FUNCTIONING OF THE CANAL AND RE-ESTABLISH DEMOCRACY IN THE COUNTRY. ALTHOUGH DESCRIBED AS A SURGICAL MANEUVER, THE ACTION LED TO CIVILIAN DEATHS WHOSE ESTIMATED NUMBERS RANGE FROM 400 TO 4,000 DURING THE TWO WEEKS OF ARMED ACTIVITIES IN THE LARGEST UNITED STATES MILITARY OPERATION SINCE THE END OF THE VIETNAM WAR. FOR SOME COMMENTATORS, THE ACTION WAS NOT INTENDED ONLY TO RID PANAMA OF THE DICTATORSHIP BUT SERVED ALSO TO REINFORCE UNITED STATES AUTHORITY OVER THE REGION RIGHT AT THE END OF THE COLD WAR, AS WELL AS USE PANAMA AS PRACTICE FIELD FOR WEAPONS AND STRATEGIES THAT WOULD SHORTLY AFTER BE USED IN THE GULF WAR (CAJAR PÁEZ 22).[23]

THE URBAN POPULATION, LIVING BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL, WAS GREATLY AFFECTED BY THE 1989 INVASION, BECOMING THE ‘COLLATERAL COST’ OF THE DEMOCRATIZATION OF THE COUNTRY. AS POINTED OUT IN 1995 BY A UN TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE MISSION TO PANAMA, THE BOMBARDMENTS DURING THE INVASION CAUSED THE DISPLACEMENT OF 20,000 PERSONS. THE MOST STRICKEN DISTRICT WAS EL CHORRILLO WHERE SEVERAL BLOCKS OF APARTMENTS WERE COMPLETELY DESTROYED. EL CHORRILLO HAD BEEN SINCE CANAL CONSTRUCTION DAYS A SERIES OF WOODEN BARRACKS; THESE EASILY CAUGHT FIRE UNDER THE UNITED STATES ATTACK. ACCORDING TO THE TECHNICAL MISSION, THE DISPLACED WERE SEGREGATED TO UNFINISHED USAID DWELLINGS, FAR FROM COMMUNICATIONS AND BASIC SERVICES, OR WERE SENT BACK TO LIVE IN EL CHORRILLO'S NEW LOW-STANDARD MULTI-FAMILY BUILDINGS CONSTRUCTED HASTILY BY THE PANAMANIAN GOVERNMENT IN REPLACEMENT OF THEIR LOST HOMES (SEE COMMITTEE ON ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL RIGHTS, N.P.). AS STATED BY RESPONDENTS IN A 2005 SURVEY CONDUCTED IN EL CHORRILLO, AFTER THE INVASION, CRIME AND DRUG TRAFFICKING INCREASED, AND LIVING CONDITIONS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WORSENED. COLEEN ACOSTA POINTS OUT THAT "THE INTERVENTION ADDED FURTHER TO (PANAMA'S) ECONOMIC DECLINE. SOME SECTIONS OF PANAMA CITY WERE HEAVILY DAMAGED, LEAVING THOUSANDS HOMELESS, AND SUBSEQUENT LOOTING LEFT BUSINESSES WITH DAMAGES IN THE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS. THE ECONOMIC DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE INVASION AND SUBSEQUENT CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE HAS BEEN ESTIMATED TO BE BETWEEN 1.5 AND 2 BILLION DOLLARS ... UNEMPLOYMENT ROSE TO RECORD HIGHS AS THE GOVERNMENT INFRASTRUCTURE WAS LEFT IN CHAOS. ACCORDING TO THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, 10,000 EMPLOYEES LOST THEIR JOBS IN THE AFTERMATH OF THE WAR (N.P.).[21]




THE U.S. TROOPS INVOLVED IN OPERATION JUST CAUSE ACHIEVED THEIR PRIMARY OBJECTIVES, AND NORIEGA EVENTUALLY SURRENDERED TO U.S. AUTHORITIES. HE COMPLETED HIS SENTENCE FOR DRUG TRAFFICKING CHARGES IN SEPTEMBER 2007. IN AUGUST 2007, A U.S. FEDERAL COURT IN MIAMI FOUND NORIEGA EXTRADITABLE TO FRANCE, WHERE HE WAS CONVICTED IN ABSENTIA FOR MONEY LAUNDERING. NORIEGA WAS EXTRADITED TO FRANCE ON APRIL 26, 2010 AND HIS TRIAL STARTED ON JUNE 28, 2010 IN PARIS, FRANCE. ON JULY 7, 2010, NORIEGA WAS CONVICTED BY THE 11TH CHAMBER OF THE TRIBUNAL CORRECTIONNEL DE PARIS, AND SENTENCED TO SEVEN YEARS IN JAIL. THE PROSECUTOR IN THE CASE HAD SOUGHT A TEN-YEAR PRISON TERM. IN ADDITION, €2.3 MILLION (APPROXIMATELY US$3.6 MILLION) THAT HAS LONG BEEN FROZEN IN NORIEGA'S FRENCH BANK ACCOUNTS WAS ORDERED TO BE SEIZED.

18. GRENADA







WHAT CAN BE SAID ABOUT AN INVASION LAUNCHED BY A NATION OF 240 MILLION PEOPLE AGAINST ONE OF 110 THOUSAND? AND WHEN THE INVADER IS, MILITARILY AND ECONOMICALLY, THE MOST POWERFUL IN THE WORLD, AND THE TARGET OF ITS ATTACK IS AN ISLAND OF SMALL VILLAGES 1,500 MILES AWAY, 133 SQUARE MILES IN SIZE, WHOSE MAIN EXPORTS ARE COCOA, NUTMEG AND BANANAS ... THE FIGHTING WAS OVER IN A WEEK, 135 AMERICANS KILLED OR WOUNDED, 84 CUBANS, 400 GRENADIANS, MORE OR LESS ... [BILL BLUM]
PRE-HISTORY AND EARLY EUROPEAN CONTACTS


GRENADA WAS FIRST SIGHTED BY EUROPEANS IN 1498 DURING THE 3RD VOYAGE OF COLUMBUS TO THE NEW WORLD. AT THE TIME THE INDIGENOUSISLAND CARIBS (KALINAGO)WHO LIVED THERE CALLED IT CAMAHOGNE. THESPANIARDS DID NOT PERMANENTLY SETTLE ON CAMAHOGNE. THE ENGLISHFAILED IN THEIR ATTEMPT AT SETTLEMENT IN 1609.
FRENCH COLONY (1649–1763)


ON MARCH 17, 1649 A FRENCH EXPEDITION OF 203 MEN FROM MARTINIQUE, LED BY JACQUES DU PARQUET FOUNDED A PERMANENT SETTLEMENT ON GRENADA. WITHIN MONTHS THIS LED TO CONFLICT WITH THE LOCAL ISLANDERS WHICH LASTED UNTIL 1654 WHEN THE ISLAND WAS COMPLETELY SUBJUGATED BY THE FRENCH.[4] THOSE INDIGINEOUS ISLANDERS WHO SURVIVED EITHER LEFT FOR NEIGHBOURING ISLANDS OR RETREATED TO REMOTER PARTS OF GRENADA WHERE THEY WERE MARGINALISED – THE LAST DISTINCT COMMUNITIES DISAPPEARED DURING THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY. WARFARE DID CONTINUE DURING THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY BETWEEN THE FRENCH ON GRENADA AND THE CARIBS OF PRESENT DAY DOMINICA AND ST. VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES.THE FRENCH NAMED THE NEW FRENCH COLONY LA GRENADE AND THE ECONOMY WAS INITIALLY BASED ON SUGAR AND INDIGO. THE FRENCH ESTABLISHED A CAPITAL KNOWN AS FORT ROYAL (LATER ST. GEORGE). TO SHELTER FROM HURRICANES THE FRENCH NAVY WOULD OFTEN TAKE REFUGE IN THE CAPITAL'S NATURAL HARBOUR, AS NO NEARBY FRENCH ISLANDS HAD A NATURAL HARBOUR TO COMPARE WITH THAT OF FORT ROYAL. THE BRITISH CAPTURED GRENADA DURING THE SEVEN YEARS' WAR IN 1762.
BRITISH COLONY (1763–1950)


GRENADA WAS FORMALLY CEDED TO BRITAIN BY THE TREATY OF PARIS IN 1763. THE FRENCH RE-CAPTURED THE ISLAND DURING THE AMERICAN WAR OF INDEPENDENCE, AFTERCOMTE D'ESTAING WON THE BLOODY LAND AND NAVALBATTLE OF GRENADA IN JULY 1779. HOWEVER THE ISLAND WAS RESTORED TO BRITAIN WITH THE TREATY OF VERSAILLES IN 1783. BRITAIN WAS HARD PRESSED TO OVERCOME A PRO-FRENCH REVOLT IN 1795–1796 LED BYJULIEN FEDON. NUTMEG WAS INTRODUCED TO GRENADA IN 1843 WHEN A MERCHANT SHIP CALLED IN ON ITS WAY TO ENGLAND FROM THE EAST INDIES. THE SHIP HAD A SMALL QUANTITY OF NUTMEG TREES ON BOARD WHICH THEY LEFT IN GRENADA AND THIS WAS THE BEGINNING OF GRENADA'S NUTMEG INDUSTRY THAT NOW SUPPLIES NEARLY FORTY PERCENT OF THE WORLD'S ANNUAL CROP.[5] IN 1877 GRENADA WAS MADE A CROWN COLONY.THEOPHILUS A. MARRYSHOW FOUNDED THE REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION (RGA) IN 1917 TO AGITATE FOR A NEW AND PARTICIPATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL DISPENSATION FOR THE GRENADIAN PEOPLE. PARTLY AS A RESULT OF MARRYSHOW`S LOBBYING THE WOOD COMMISSION OF 1921–1922 CONCLUDED THAT GRENADA WAS READY FOR CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM IN THE FO OF A 'MODIFIED' CROWN COLONY GOVERNMENT. THIS MODIFICATION GRANTED GRENADIANS FROM 1925 THE RIGHT TO ELECT 5 OF THE 15 MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL, ON A RESTRICTED PROPERTY FRANCHISE ENABLING THE WEALTHIEST 4% OF ADULT GRENADIANS TO VOTE.[6]

THE CAPITAL ST. GEORGE'S.
TOWARDS INDEPENDENCE (1950–1974)


IN 1950 ERIC GAIRY FOUNDED THE GRENADA UNITED LABOUR PARTY, INITIALLY AS A TRADES UNION, WHICH LED THE 1951 GENERAL STRIKEFOR BETTER WORKING CONDITIONS, THIS SPARKED GREAT UNREST – SO MANY BUILDINGS WERE SET ABLAZE THAT THE DISTURBANCES BECAME KNOWN AS THE 'RED SKY' DAYS – AND THE BRITISH AUTHORITIES HAD TO CALL IN MILITARY REINFORCEMENTS TO HELP REGAIN CONTROL OF THE SITUATION. ON OCTOBER 10, 1951 GRENADA HELD ITS FIRST GENERAL ELECTIONS ON THE BASIS OF UNIVERSAL ADULT SUFFRAGE [7]- ERIC GAIRY'S GRENADA UNITED LABOUR PARTY WON 6 OF THE 8 SEATS CONTESTED.[7] FROM 1958 TO 1962 GRENADA WAS PART OF THEFEDERATION OF THE WEST INDIES.

ON MARCH 3, 1967 GRENADA WAS GRANTED FULL AUTONOMY OVER ITS INTERNAL AFFAIRS AS AN ASSOCIATED STATE. HERBERT BLAIZE WAS THE FIRST PREMIER OF THE ASSOCIATED STATE OF GRENADA FOM MARCH TO AUGUST 1967. ERIC GAIRY SERVED AS PREMIER FROM AUGUST 1967 UNTIL FEBRUARY 1974.
INDEPENDENCE AND REVOLUTION (1974–1983)


INDEPENDENCE WAS GRANTED IN 1974 UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF THE THENPREMIER, SIR ERIC MATTHEW GAIRY, WHO BECAME THE FIRST PRIME MINISTER OF GRENADA.

CIVIL CONFLICT GRADUALLY BROKE OUT BETWEEN ERIC GAIRY’S GOVERNMENT AND SOME OPPOSITION PARTIES INCLUDING THE NEW JEWEL MOVEMENT (NJM). GAIRY’S PARTY WON ELECTIONS IN 1976 BUT THE OPPOSITION DID NOT ACCEPT THE RESULT, ACCUSING IT OF FRAUD. IN 1979, THE NEW JEWEL MOVEMENT UNDER MAURICE BISHOP LAUNCHED A PARAMILITARY ATTACK ON THE GOVERNMENT RESULTING IN ITS OVERTHROW.ON OCTOBER 19, 1983, BERNARD COARD AND HIS WIFE PHYLLIS, BACKED BY THE GRENADIAN ARMY, LED A COUP AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT OF MAURICE BISHOP AND PLACED BISHOP UNDER HOUSE ARREST. THESE ACTIONS LED TO STREET DEMONSTRATIONS IN VARIOUS PARTS OF THE ISLAND. BISHOP HAD ENOUGH SUPPORT FROM THE POPULATION THAT HE WAS EVENTUALLY FREED AFTER A DEMONSTRATION IN THE CAPITAL. WHEN BISHOP ATTEMPTED TO RESUME POWER, HE WAS CAPTURED AND EXECUTED BY SOLDIERS ALONG WITH SEVEN OTHERS, INCLUDING GOVERNMENT CABINET MINISTERS. THE COARD REGIME THEN PUT THE ISLAND UNDER MARTIAL LAW.[CITATION NEEDED]

THE CONSTITUTION WAS SUSPENDED AND BISHOP'S "PEOPLE'S REVOLUTIONARY GOVERNMENT" RULED SUBSEQUENTLY BY DECREE. CUBANDOCTORS, TEACHERS, AND TECHNICIANS WERE INVITED IN TO HELP DEVELOP HEALTH, LITERACY, AND AGRICULTURE OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS. AGRARIAN REFORMS STARTED BY THE GAIRY GOVERNMENT WERE CONTINUED AND GREATLY EXPANDED UNDER THE REVOLUTIONARY GOVERNMENT OF MAURICE BISHOP.

SOME YEARS LATER A DISPUTE DEVELOPED BETWEEN BISHOP AND CERTAIN HIGH-RANKING MEMBERS OF THE NJM. THOUGH BISHOP COOPERATED WITHCUBA AND THE USSR ON VARIOUS TRADE AND FOREIGN POLICY ISSUES, HE SOUGHT TO MAINTAIN A "NON-ALIGNED" STATUS. BISHOP HAD BEEN TAKING HIS TIME MAKING GRENADA WHOLLY SOCIALIST, ENCOURAGING PRIVATE-SECTOR DEVELOPMENT IN AN ATTEMPT TO MAKE THE ISLAND A POPULAR TOURIST DESTINATION. HARDLINE MARXIST PARTY MEMBERS, INCLUDINGCOMMUNISTDEPUTY PRIME MINISTER BERNARD COARD, DEEMED BISHOP INSUFFICIENTLY REVOLUTIONARY AND DEMANDED THAT HE EITHER STEP DOWN OR ENTER INTO A POWER-SHARING ARRANGEMENT.[CITATION NEEDED]

AFTER A 1983 INTERNAL POWER STRUGGLE ENDED WITH THE DEPOSITION AND MURDER OF REVOLUTIONARY PRIME MINISTER MAURICE BISHOP, THE INVASION BEGAN ON 25 OCTOBER 1983, LESS THAN 48 HOURS AFTER THE BOMBING OF THE MARINE BARRACKS IN BEIRUT.

THE US ARMY'S RAPID DEPLOYMENT FORCE (1ST, 2ND RANGER BATTALIONS AND 82D AIRBORNE DIVISION PARATROOPERS), MARINES, ARMY DELTA FORCE AND NAVY SEALS AND OTHER COMBINED FORCES CONSISTED OF THE 7,600 TROOPS FROM THE UNITED STATES, JAMAICA, AND MEMBERS OF THEREGIONAL SECURITY SYSTEM (RSS)[3] DEFEATED GRENADIAN RESISTANCE AFTER A LOW-ALTITUDE AIRBORNE ASSAULT BY THE 75TH RANGERS ON POINT SALINAS AIRPORT ON THE SOUTHERN END OF THE ISLAND WHILE A MARINE HELICOPTER AND AMPHIBIOUS LANDING OCCURRED ON THE NORTHERN END AT PEARL'S AIRFIELD SHORTLY AFTERWARD.

WHILE THE INVASION ENJOYED BROAD PUBLIC SUPPORT IN THE UNITED STATES,[4] AND RECEIVED SUPPORT FROM SOME SECTORS IN GRENADA FROM LOCAL GROUPS WHO VIEWED THE POST-COUP REGIME AS ILLEGITIMATE,[5] IT WAS CRITICIZED BY THE UNITED KINGDOM, CANADA AND THE UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY, WHICH CONDEMNED IT AS "A FLAGRANT VIOLATION OFINTERNATIONAL LAW".[6] BY A VOTE OF 108 IN FAVOR TO 9, WITH 27 ABSTENTIONS. THE UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL CONSIDERED A SIMILAR RESOLUTION, WHICH FAILED TO PASS WHEN VETOED BY THE US.

[EXCERPTED FROM GRENADA, AND THE INVASION OF GRENADA BY WIKIPEDIA]

BILL BLUM ADDS, UNFORTUNATELY WITHOUT DOCUMENTED FOOTNOTES,
BEFORE LONG THE PSYCHOLOGICAL OPERATIONS BATTALION OF THE US ARMY WAS CRUISING OVER THE ISLAND IN A HELICOPTER OFFERING THE GRENADIANS, VIA A LOUDSPEAKER, A LARGE SERVING OF ANTI-CUBAN FARE: THE CUBANS HAD SUPPORTED THOSE WHO HAD KILLED BISHOP, GRENADA HAD BEEN A PAWN OF CUBA, CASTRO/COMMUNISM WERE STILL A THREAT, AND SO FORTH. POSTERS WERE PUT UP SHOWING ALLEGED CAPTURED CUBAN WEAPONS WITH THE SLOGAN, "ARE THESE THE TOOLS THAT BUILD AIRPORTS?" OTHER POSTERS LINKED THE MRC LEADERS TO MOSCOW.
IN MARCH 1984, A VISITING LONDON JOURNALIST COULD REPORT:
'THE ISLAND REMAINS VISIBLY UNDER AMERICAN OCCUPATION. JEEPS PATROL CONSTANTLY. HELICOPTERS FLY OVER THE BEACHES. ARMED MILITARY POLICE WATCH THE VILLAGERS AND FREQUENT THE CAFES. CIA MEN SUPERVISE THE SECURITY AT THE COURTHOUSE. THE ISLAND'S ONLY NEWSPAPER POURS OUT WEEKLY VITRIOL ABOUT THE YEARS OF THE REVOLUTIONARY GOVERNMENT, THIS GRUESOME PERIOD IN OUR HISTORY". THE PRESSURES, IN A SMALL A SMALL COMMUNITY, ARE HEAVY.

19 YUGOSLAVIA
THIS SITES ARCHIVAL RESEARCH PEOPLES HISTORIAN SPENT THE 1970-71 CONCERT SEASON PERFORMING IN ALL THE SIX REPUBLICS OF WHAT WAS YUGOSLAVIA, AND IT WAS THE HAPPIEST YEAR OF HIS LIFE UP TO THEN. IT WAS THEN AT THE HIGHT OF THE COLD WAR. YUGOSLAVIA HAD ENVIABLE THRIVING ECONOMY AND CULTURE AMAZINGLY INDEPENDENT OF IMPERIALIST DOMINATION AND INDEPENDENT OF DOMINATION BY THE SOVIET UNION LED EAST BLOC. AT THAT TIME THE ONLY INSIGNIFICANT OCCASIONAL IRRITATION WAS THE OCCASIONAL BOMBINGS OF A YUGOSLAV EMBASSY OR CONSULATE ABROAD BY CROATIAN FASCISTS, ASSUMED TO BE NOT ALL THAT SECRETLY FUNDED BY CIA AND RELATED US COVERT ORGANIZATIONS. WHAT DEVELOPED IN THE YEARS THAT FOLLOWED UNDER A WILLFUL PROGRAM OF US ENGINEERED DESTABILIZATION THROUGH FINANCIAL MANIPULATION, CIA COVERTLY FUNDED VIOLENCE, MILITARY THREATS AND FINALLY 78 DAYS OF STEADY BOMBING OF SOFT CITY TARGETS IN SERBIA AND KOSOVO WILL TAKE SOME GOOD AMOUNT OF DOCUMENTED EXPLAINING...[TO BE CONTINUED]

20 CUBA




THE RACIST INVESTOR RULING ELITE OF THE NEW UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WITH A PREPONDERANCE OF SLAVE HOLDERS IN THE SOUTH AND SLAVE TRADERS IN THE NORTH, AFTER THE SUCCESSFUL SLAVE REVOLT IN HAITI WERE NATURALLY FEARFUL OF ANOTHER RULE OF FREED SLAVES IN CUBA, DURING ITS FIRST WAR FOR INDEPENDENCE, THE US SOLD THE LATEST WEAPONS TO SPAIN, BUT NOT TO THE CUBAN REBELS.[10], AND ALTHOUGH VARIOUS EUROPEAN GOVERNMENTS RECOGNIZED THE REBEL GOVERNMENT, THE US DID NOT.




DURING THE SLAVE STATE - FREE STATE POLITICAL CONFLICT IN CONGRESS, WHICH HAD STALLED THE PROCESS OF OPENING THE WESTERN TERRITORIES TO SETTLEMENT, EFFORTS WERE MADE TO ACQUIRE CUBA AND TO ANNEX NICARAGUA, BOTH TO BE SLAVE STATES.




TOWARDS THE END OF THE 19TH CENTURY POWERFUL INVESTORS HAD BEEN CASTING A EYE ON CUBA WITH ITS LUCRATIVE SUGAR INDUSTRY AS A POSSIBLE FUTURE US POSSESSION. THE WIDE NEWSPAPER CHAIN OF RANDOLPH HEARST IS CREDITED WITH WHIPPING UP THE NECESSARY WAR FEVER THAT WOULD FREE CUBA FROM SPANISH CONTROL WITH THE SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR, JUST AS CUBAN REVOLUTIONARIES WERE ABOUT TO WIN TRUE INDEPENDENCE.




CUBA WAS GRANTED FORMAL INDEPENDENCE FROM THE US IN 1902, THE US RETAINED THE RIGHT TO INTERVENE IN CUBAN AFFAIRS AND TO SUPERVISE ITS FINANCES AND FOREIGN RELATIONS AND FORCE THE US LEASEING THE GUANTÁNAMO BAY NAVAL BASE FROM CUBA. IN 1906, UPON A SUCCESSFUL ARMED REVOLT BY INDEPENDENCE WAR VETERANS, THE US INTERVENED REOCCUPYING CUBA FOR THREE YEARS, AND ACCORDING TO CUBAN HISTORIANS INTRODUCED POLITICAL AND SOCIAL CORRUPTION .
