THE LAUGH OF EVIL...
READ THE COMMENTS ON THIS VIDEO OF CLINTON ON YOUTUBE.
MY ANCESTORS WERE HERE LONG BEFORE ANYONE ARRIVED FROM EUROPE.
I AM FIERCELY DEDICATED, HOWEVER, TO THE AMERICA I KNEW AS A CHILD.
BUT...MAY I BE DAMNED TO AN ETERNAL HELL IF EVER I PUT ANY NATION'S 'GOOD NAME' ABOVE TRUTH, HONOR AND JUSTICE.
WRONG IS WRONG, NO MATTER WHO IS WRONG.
A LIE IS A LIE, MURDER IS MURDER, NO MATTER WHO IS LYING AND MURDERING.
TRUTH AT ANY COST MUST BE WHAT WE ALL SEEK.
A WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY WAS RECENTLY CONDEMNED FOR SAYING THAT BARACK OBAMA HAD GADDAFI, BIN LADEN AND AL-AWLAKI MURDERED WITHOUT ASKING FOR CONGRESS' APPROVAL.
THAT WAS A TRUTH, BUT ROUGHLY HALF OF AMERICA HATES THE TRUTH.
THIS DOES NOT NEGATE THE TRUTH.
The Case for Impeaching Barack Obama, by Allen West, October 9, 2019:
"If I were on any news program and was asked about the “impeachment inquiry” of President Trump, I would pivot and discuss the case for impeaching Barack Obama…and why the progressive socialist left defended his indefensible actions.
Barack Obama claimed that there was a major crisis in Libya and ended up outsourcing our military support and aid to Islamic jihadist organizations against President Muammar al-Gaddafi.
There was evidence that Gaddafi was willing to negotiate his removal and departure from Libya, but instead, Obama supplied weapons, intelligence, and air support to Islamic terrorists who did overthrow, and execute, Gaddafi.
Since when did the United States provide military aid to Islamic terrorists?
In the aftermath, the Obama administration attempted a weapons buy back program from these same jihadists. And that led to the debacle we came to know as Benghazi.
Why was it that Barack Obama lied about this very sad day in US history, and was never held accountable and responsible?"
FROM BBC NEWS, MARCH 21, 2011:
U.S. President Barack Obama has secretly authorised covert assistance to rebels seeking to overthrow Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi, US media reports say.
He recently signed a document known as a "finding", allowing support to the rebel groups, Reuters news agency and ABC News said.
Such "findings" are a common way for the president to authorise covert operations by the CIA.
The CIA and White House have both declined to comment on the reports.
The latest reports come amid an ongoing debate about the legality of arming the forces opposed to Col Gaddafi, the BBC's Steve Kingstone in Washington says.
Mr. Obama has said publicly the US has not ruled out arming the rebels. He has pledged US troops will not join the effort to eject Col Gaddafi.
The New York Times, citing American officials, said on Wednesday that the CIA has had operatives on the ground in Libya for several weeks. They are said to be gathering intelligence for air strikes and making contact with the forces fighting Col Gaddafi.
The newspaper says British intelligence and special forces are also involved.
"It's fair to say that if we wanted to get weapons into Libya, we probably could. We're looking at all our options at this point," Obama told ABC News.
In 2009 Obama gave a similar authorization for the expansion of covert U.S. counter-terrorism actions by the CIA in Yemen. The White House does not normally confirm such orders have been issued.
“The whole issue on (providing rebels with) training and equipment requires knowing who the rebels are,” said Bruce Riedel, a former senior CIA Middle East expert who has advised the Obama White House.
Riedel said that helping the rebels to organize themselves and training them how use weapons effectively would be more urgent then shipping them arms.
Members of Congress have expressed anxiety about U.S. government activities in Libya. Some have recalled that weapons provided by the U.S. and Saudis to mujahedeen fighting Soviet occupation forces in Afghanistan in the 1980s later ended up in the hands of anti-American militants.
There are fears that the same thing could happen in Libya unless the U.S. is sure who it is dealing with.
The chairman of the House intelligence committee, Rep. Mike Rogers, said on Wednesday he opposed supplying arms to the Libyan rebels fighting Gaddafi “at this time.”
“We need to understand more about the opposition before I would support passing out guns and advanced weapons to them,” Rogers said in a statement.
THE REALITY OF WHY GADDAFI WAS MURDERED HAS FINALLY BEEN CLARIFIED.
FROM 'The African Exponent', Jan. 11th, 2020
New Evidence: The Real Reason Gaddafi Was Killed
Qaddafi was not killed for humanitarian purposes but for the oil and for money. His ideas of an African gold-backed currency were his major undoing.
According to the IMF (International Monetary Fund), Libya’s Central Bank is 100% state owned and in 2011, it was estimated to have 144 tons of gold in its vaults. Muammar Gaddafi’s plan was to introduce a gold-backed currency which he hoped African and Muslim nations would adopt. He felt it could rival the euro and the dollar, and rightly so too.
The recent Hillary Clinton email leaks have opened a can of worms everywhere including in Africa. Wikileaks released an unclassified U.S. Department of State document emailed to Clinton, dated April 2, 2011.
Sidney Blumenthal, the sender of the email confirmed what the world already suspected. Qaddafi was not killed for humanitarian purposes but for the oil and for money.
His ideas of an African gold-backed currency were his major undoing.
In April 2011, then President of the World Bank, Robert Bruce Zoellick spoke at a panel discussion about how he hoped the World Bank would have some sort of role in the reconstruction of Libya along with other countries.
“Reconstruction now means (Ivory Coast), it now means Southern Sudan, it means Liberia, it means Sri Lanka, I hope it will mean Libya,” he said.
Blumenthal, in his email to Hillary Clinton confirmed, “Qaddafi's government holds 143 tons of gold, and a similar amount in silver. During late March, 2011 these stocks were moved to SABHA (south west in the direction of the Libyan border with Niger and Chad); taken from the vaults of the Libyan Central Bank in Tripoli.”
He went on to say the gold and silver was valued at $7 billion and was one of the reasons Nicolas Sarkozy embarked on a French attack of Libya.
“Sarkozy's plans are driven by the following issues:a. A desire to gain a greater share of Libya oil production,b. Increase French influence in North Africa,c. Improve his internal political situation in France,d. Provide the French military with an opportunity to reassert its position in the world,e. Address the concern of his advisors over Qaddafi's long term plans to supplant France as the dominant power in, Francophone Africa,” wrote Blumenthal.
If Qaddafi had succeeded, the United States of America and Europe would have been forced to buy oil and minerals in the gold backed currency thus tipping the scales. This was a horror the West dared not experience. The situation would have been a more lethal re-enactment of Saddam Hussein’s currency wars when he supported the new Euro currency at the expense of the United States Dollar.
The leaked Clinton email has far-reaching implications on the fluid state of post-colonial relations with the West. If anything, it is an eye-opener. Where Africa seeks to build an independent economic structure, the West is seen to try and derail those plans so as to retain its primacy in world affairs.
With regard to the creation of a new currency, Ministry of Peace Founder, Dr James Thring said, “It’s one of those things that you have to plan almost in secret, because as soon as you say you’re going to change over from the dollar to something else, you’re going to be targeted.”
And Qaddafi was targeted.
He may not have been the most democratic leader in the world but Libyan citizens had arguably the best way of life in Africa. His plan of action (without the human rights violations) should be a blueprint for African development."
DID ANYONE CARE WHAT THE LIBYAN PEOPLE WANTED, WHAT THEY THOUGHT OF GADDAFI?
NO.
GREED DOESN'T CARE.
I CARE, SO HERE'S WHAT LIBYANS ARE STILL SAYING TODAY.
Libya died with Gaddafi. The people of Libya have never been worse off.
The country has seen a five-fold increase in the cost of food, unpaid salaries for months, the rise of Islamic State terror and worsening electricity black-outs.
Nothing improved after Gaddafi and the country sees it now.
Mahmoud, another Libyan added his own words of disappointment in the bitter fruits of the revolution, “We have had seven governments since 2011 and what have they achieved?' The only thing we can see is new dustbins because one of the early governments installed these new large bins across Tripoli. We still point to them and laugh, saying it's the only achievement of the revolution.”
The West was eager to bomb but aborted the mission to restructure and help rebuild the ruins left in the aftermath of the bombings...resulting in numerous groups claiming power using military means.
Political activist Fadiel told the Dailymail that although “it should be better than Gaddafi’s time now,” all that remained is “chaos and everyone fighting each other, it’s just a mess.”
Another Libyan who spoke about the country’s situation boldly said, “Libya died with Gaddafi. We are not a nation anymore, we have become just warring groups of tribes, towns and cities. The country has three governments all unwilling to compromise. There were two governments but another has been imposed on the country by the West through the United Nations. The country is so polarised that a former Libyan diplomat is on record saying, “The country is already divided. We have two governments, two parliaments, two Central banks and two National Oil Companies.”
Former diplomat Abdusalem is not the most objective of characters but the sense of his words is difficult to argue with.
He says, “The so-called revolution was lies, all lies. We Libyans did not even know what the word revolution meant. We had been sheltered under Qaddafi for 42 years. It was not Libya's revolution, it was NATO's revolution because they wanted to get rid of Gaddafi.”
Though it is a slight exaggeration since some people genuinely wanted Gaddafi out of power, it is true that NATO hijacked the cause and furthered its own ends with no regard for the future of the country. Obama admitted it was no longer an intervention for the right reasons but had become (France’s) Sarkozy and (Britain’s) Cameron’s shit-show.
Though NATO says it intervened to protect civilians, Salem, a 26 year old medical student from Tripoli has argued, “Far more people have been killed since 2011 than during the revolution or under 42 years of Gaddafi’s rule combined. We never had these problems under Gaddafi.
It is estimated that there are over 1,700 armed groups which rose as a result of the “revolution”; now politics in Libya cannot be determined by ballots but guns and bombs. The people of Libya have never been worse off. The democracy they hoped for has not come and to add insult to injury, there is no peace and the greatest terrorist organisation of this time is attempting to establish its base in the country.
“Libya died with Gaddafi”.
U.S. and NATO Murdered Muammar Gaddafi
21 October 2011
"The savage killing Thursday of deposed Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi served to underscore the criminal character of the war that has been prosecuted by the U.S. and NATO over the past eight months.
The assassination follows NATO’s more than month-long siege of Sirte, the Libyan coastal city that was Gaddafi’s hometown and a center of his support. The assault on this city of 100,000 left virtually every building smashed, with untold numbers of civilians dead, wounded and stricken by disease, as they were deprived of food, water, medical care and other basic necessities.
Both the US and France claimed credit for their roles in the murder of Gaddafi. The Pentagon asserted on Thursday that a US Predator drone had fired a Hellfire missile at the ousted Libyan leader’s convoy, while France’s defense minister said that French warplanes had bombed it.
The U.S. and NATO had carried out repeated air strikes on Gaddafi’s compounds in Tripoli and other homes where they suspected he was hiding since shortly after the brutal air war against Libya was launched last March. One of these strikes at the end of last April claimed the lives of his youngest son and three young grandchildren.
The killing of Gaddafi is the culmination of a criminal war that killed untold numbers of Libyans and left most of the country in ruins.
This operation was launched on the pretext of protecting civilian lives, based on the trumped-up claim that Gaddafi was preparing to lay siege to the eastern city of Benghazi to massacre his opponents.
It has ended with NATO orchestrating a siege of Sirte, where thousands have been killed and wounded in suppressing opposition to the “rebels”.
From the beginning, the entire operation has been directed at the re-colonization of North Africa and pursued on behalf of US, British, French, Italian and Dutch oil interests."
Just two days before the murder of Gaddafi, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton staged an unannounced visit to Tripoli on a heavily armed military aircraft.
While there, she issued a demand that Gaddafi be brought in “dead or alive”.
As the Associated Press reported, Clinton declared “in unusually blunt terms that the United States would like to see former dictator Muammar Gaddafi dead.
“‘We hope he can be captured or killed soon so that you don’t have to fear him any longer’, Clinton told students and others at a town hall-style gathering in the capital city.”
The AP went on to note: “Until now, the U.S. has generally avoided saying that Gaddafi should be killed.”
[THE ABOVE WAS ALSO REPORTED BY BBC]
MARCH 30, 2011, REUTERS:
President Barack Obama has signed a secret order authorizing covert U.S. government support for rebel forces seeking to oust Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, government officials told Reuters on Wednesday.
The United States is part of a coalition, with NATO members and some Arab states, which is conducting air strikes on Libyan government forces under a U.N. mandate aimed at protecting civilians opposing Gaddafi.
In interviews by U.S. networks on Tuesday, Obama said the objective was for Gaddafi to “ultimately step down” from power. He spoke of applying “steady pressure, not only militarily but also through these other means” to force Gaddafi out."
GADDAFI HAD AGREED TO STEP DOWN, BUT TOO MANY LIBYANS ADORED HIM AND WOULD FIGHT TO KEEP HIM. HE HAD TO BE KILLED.
FROM THE GUARDIAN (UK), APRIL 11, 2016 U.S. Ex-President Barack Obama has said failing to prepare for the aftermath of the ousting of Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi was the worst mistake of his presidency.
After the former Libyan leader was killed, Libya plunged into chaos with militias taking over and two rival parliaments and governments forming.
It is not the first time President Obama has expressed regret over Libya. He told the Atlantic magazine last month the operation went as well as he had hoped, but Libya was now "a mess".
Washington had deployed surveillance planes along with large numbers of drones in an attempt to track down Gaddafi, while US, British and French intelligence agents, special operations troops and military “contractors” operating on the ground also participated in this manhunt.
AS I WROTE IN A PREVIOUS BLOG FROM 2013: GADDAFI'S "GOLDEN OIL PLAN" THREATENED WORLD BANKERS ENOUGH TO MARK HIM FOR MURDER.
SUCH A PLAN WOULD HAVE WRECKED GLOBAL ECONOMY AND GREATLY AFFECTED WORLD ECONOMICS HAD OTHER OIL-PRODUCING NATIONS FOLLOWED SUIT, OR EVEN IF THEY HADN'T.
A gold dinar instituted by Libya would have had serious consequences for the world financial system, but may also have empowered the people of Africa, something African activists say the U.S. wants to avoid at all costs.
AT ALL COSTS? YES!
"Gaddafi’s Gold-Money Plan Would Have Killed the US Dollar"
"'According to more than a few observers, Gadhafi’s plan to quit selling Libyan oil in U.S. dollars — demanding payment instead in gold-backed “dinars” (a single African currency made from gold) — was the real cause.
The regime, sitting on massive amounts of gold, estimated at close to 150 tons, was also pushing other African and Middle Eastern governments to follow suit."
EDITORIAL
Gaddafi Planned Gold Dinar, Now Under Attack
By Anthony Wile - May 05, 2011
"If Gaddafi had an intent to try to re-price his oil or whatever else the country was selling on the global market and accept something else as a currency or maybe launch a gold dinar currency, any move such as that would certainly not be welcomed by the power elite today, who are responsible for controlling the world's central banks. … So yes, that would certainly be something that would cause his immediate dismissal and the need for other reasons to be brought forward from moving him from power."
Libya’s Self-Sufficiency — Risk To Central Banks
April 15th, 2011
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 USA 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.
REMEMBER THIS:
Iraq's Saddam Hussein (who was definitely NOT beloved by his countrymen like Gaddafi was) tried the same thing in 2000... oil for gold.
What happened next?
After being on America's payroll for years, after being funded by the U.S. in all his endeavors, after being used as a"buffer against Iran", Saddam became a target, Iraq was invaded and Hussein was hanged.
Libya/Gaddafi literally had the potential to bring down the dollar and the world monetary system by extension, according to many analysts.
Libya destroyed by the West, $7 billion in gold and silver missing.
January 20, 2016
French President Nicolas Sarkozy reportedly went so far as to call Libya a threat to the financial security of the world. The “Insiders” were apparently panicking over Gadhafi’s plan.
In addition to preventing Libya from breaking away from French monetary domination, Sarkozy wanted to “gain a greater share of Libya oil production,” increase French influence in North Africa and dash Gaddafi’s “long term plans to supplant France as the dominant power in Francophone Africa.”
During the invasion of Libya analysts argued Gaddafi planned to stop selling oil in US dollars and demand instead it be traded in gold dinars. Prior to the invasion Gaddafi urged other African and Middle Eastern nations to follow suit.
“Any move such as that would certainly not be welcomed by the power elite today, who are responsible for controlling the world’s central banks,” stated financial analyst Anthony Wile . “So yes, that would certainly be something that would cause his immediate dismissal and the need for other reasons to be brought forward [for] removing him from power.”
“Sanctions and then a US invasion followed. Coincidence? Hussein’s idea would have strengthened the euro, but Gaddafi’s idea would have strengthened all of Africa in the opinion of hard-money economists. Gold is the ultimate honest money and the peg against which all other fiat currencies are ultimately devalued,” Wile noted.
According to Wile, Gadhafi’s plan would have strengthened the entire continent of Africa in the eyes of economists backing sound money, not to mention international investors who have long been concerned over America's INSOLVENCY.
It would have been especially devastating for the U.S. economy, the American dollar, and particularly the elite in charge of the banking system.
CLINTON, GADDAFI, AND THE DEATH OF AFRICA'S GOLD STANDARD IDEA
Libyan dictator Gaddafi was executed over a Gold-Backed Currency he was introducing.
The Pan-African Gold backed money would threaten the USD and French interests in the Oil Trade.
The US sent in troops to kill Gaddafi at the behest of French President Sarkozy.
Clinton’s leaked emails confirmed the long-held “conspiracy theory” that the plan to take out Libya’s then-dictator, Muammar Gaddafi, was motivated not by human rights concerns, but by Gaddafi’s plan to introduce a gold-backed currency that would unite the entire African continent.
This currency would then be used to sell oil in the global market, and the African continent would be less reliant on the American dollar, strengthening Africa’s position in the world economy to the detriment of the NATO empire.
Most astounding [about the leaked email] is the lengthy section delineating the huge threat that Gaddafi’s gold and silver reserves, estimated at “143 tons of gold, and a similar amount in silver,” posed to the French franc (CFA) circulating as a prime African currency.
In place of the noble sounding “Responsibility to Protect” (R2P) doctrine fed to the public, there is this “confidential” explanation of what was really driving the war:
This gold was accumulated prior to the current rebellion and was intended to be used to establish a pan-African currency based on the Libyan golden Dinar. This plan was designed to provide the Francophone African Countries with an alternative to the French franc (CFA).
Though this internal email aims to summarize the motivating factors driving France’s (and by implication NATO’s) intervention in Libya, it is interesting to note that saving civilian lives is conspicuously absent from the briefing.

MARKET MANIPULATION OF GOLD PRICES NOT A COINCIDENCE?
Market manipulation: $4 billion of gold futures ahead of Comey testimony.
June 12, 2017
Just minutes ahead of James Comey’s testimony that many hoped would lead to Trump impeachment, it appears someone decided it was an opportune time to dump $4 billion notional gold futures, seemingly confident this will not be a “constitutional crisis.”
Over 30,000 contracts suddenly flushed ahead of Comey's testimony.
WHO'S NEXT ON THE 'INTERNATIONAL BANKING CARTEL'S HIT LIST'?
RUSSIA. Russia is dumping U.S. dollars and hoarding gold
CHINA, DEFINITELY. China claims gold reserves at end of 2016 a massive 12,100 tonnes
MAYBE EVEN SWITZERLAND? Switzerland chooses gold over paper wealth backed by U.S. dollar.
BUT DID YOU KNOW THAT SYRIA ALSO HAD A TIDY STASH OF GOLD...BESIDES ITS OIL FIELDS THAT TRUMP STATED U.S. TROOPS WERE "GUARDING"?
WELL, THE GOLD IS MISSING.
U.S. military accused of stealing 50 tons of gold form Syria.
March 11, 2019
"The U.S. Army is transferring tons of gold from Daesh-held areas in Syria to the U.S., multiple reports said.
According to a source who spoke to Kurdish Bas News Agency, the U.S. forces transferred about 50 tons of gold from areas seized from Daesh terrorists in eastern Syria’s Deir el-Zour region and gave a portion of the remaining gold to the PKK’s Syrian offshoot People’s Protection Units (YPG).
Meanwhile, 40 tons of gold bullion stolen by Daesh (ISLAMIC STATE) terrorists from Iraq’s Mosul province was also taken by the U.S. forces.
Local sources who spoke to regime-run SANA news agency claimed that the troops relocated large boxes containing Daesh’s gold treasure from al-Dashisheh region in southern Hasakah.
Daesh terrorist leaders nabbed by U.S. troops reportedly provided information on the whereabouts of the gold, the report said.
The claim coincides with a report by the U.K.-based Syrian Observatory of Human Rights, which said that the U.S.-backed YPG was after 40 tons of gold left behind by Daesh terrorists in Deir el-Zour.
“The U.S.-led coalition forces and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) deliberately do not target the areas under the control of the ISIL terrorists and commanders in Eastern Euphrates in Deir el-Zour as they are trying to locate this treasure by forcing the ISIL militants to speak about its location after surrendering,” the SOHR said, referring to Daesh using another acronym.
DOES IT ALL SEEM TO "ADD UP" TO YOU NOW?
AMERICA IS, INDEED, INSOLVENT AND ANY THREAT THAT WOULD ALLOW OTHER NATIONS TO DEMAND WE PAY IN GOLD, ADOPT A GOLD STANDARD ONCE AGAIN MUST BE STOPPED.
07/23/2010
"The US is Insolvent and Faces Bankruptcy as a Pure Debtor Nation but [U.S.] Rating Agencies Still Give it High Rankings"There is also a view among many investors that the agencies would shy away from withdrawing triple A ratings to countries such as the US and UK because of the political pressure that would bear down on them in the event of such actions.
ECONOMISTS SAW THE HANDWRITING ON THE WALL LONG BEFORE OBAMA HIT GADAFFI...
Investor newsletters and commentaries had been buzzing for months with speculation about the link between Qaddafi's gold dinar and the NATO-backed overthrow of the Libyan regime. Conservative analysts also pounced on the potential relationship, too.
“In 2009 — in his capacity as head of the African Union — Libya's Moammar Gadhafi had proposed that the economically crippled continent adopt the ‘Gold Dinar,’” noted Ilana Mercer in an August opinion piece for WorldNetDaily.
“I do not know if Col. Gadhafi continued to agitate for ditching the dollar and adopting the Gold Dinar — or if the Agitator from Chicago (Obama) got wind of Gadhafi's (uncharacteristic) sanity about things monetary.”
But if Arab and African nations had begun adopting a gold-backed currency, it would have had major repercussions for debt-laden Western governments that would be far more significant than the purported “democratic” uprisings sweeping the region this year.
And it would have spelled big trouble for the elite who benefit from “freshly counterfeited funny-money,” Mercer pointed out.
“Had Gadhafi sparked a gold-driven monetary revolution, he would have done well for his own people, and for the world at large,” she concluded. “A Gadhafi-driven gold revolution would have, however, imperiled the positions of central bankers and their political and media power-brokers.”
The Central Bank of Libya WAS 100% owned by Libya (since 1956) and was thus OUTSIDE of multinational corporation control (BIS-Banking International Settlement rules for private interests).
Libya COULD AND DID finance its own nation-building projects and did so without interest rates, which reduced the costs by half of what privately owned central global banks demand. Libya’s central bank (with three branches in the east including Benghazi) DID INDEED HAVE 144 tons of gold in its vaults.
LIBYA WOULD HAVE BEEN A "BREAKOUT NATION", FIRST IN AFRICA TO ESCAPE THE RUIN OF FOREIGN BANKS, WESTERN DICTATORSHIP, INCESSANT THREATS OF SANCTIONS AND MILITARY "INTERVENTIONS", THE NEED FOR FOREIGN "AID" THAT DEMANDED THEY HAND OVER ALL THEIR NATURAL RESOURCES AS "COLLATERAL".
NELSON MANDELA RECOGNIZED WHAT GADDAFI WAS DOING AND PRAISED HIM.
Nelson Mandela's Friendship with Gaddafi Irritated the West
"In 1997, Mandela decided to go to Libya for an official state visit. The United States of America State Department said it would be “disappointed” if he went to the country which was believed by the West to be sponsoring terrorism.
Mandela’s reply was simple and straightforward. He said, “How can they have the arrogance to dictate to us who our friends should be?” Though the West would love to portray Mandela as having always struck a conciliatory tone, this loyal icon who knew who supported him is rarely ever spoken off.
If anything, according to the Washington Post, that side of Mandela was an irritation to the United States of America thus explaining why it is not so often included in his list of heroics.
Mandela went ahead with his visit to Libya on the 23rd of October 1997 despite the opposition.
When played out by the media, “it was a case of a saint visiting a mad dog” but the reality is, two friends met in Tripoli that October.
Mandela’s movement had counted on Libyan support during its anti-apartheid drive while the West supported the oppressive white regime.
Mandela was always aware of this fact as when he was shown Gaddafi’s compound which had been bombed by United States operatives in 1986, he said of the USA’s interventionist approach, “No country can claim to be the policeman of the world and no state can dictate to another what it should do. Those that yesterday were friends of our enemies have the gall today to tell me not to visit my brother Gaddafi. They are advising us to be ungrateful and forget our friends of the past.”
In a further speech delivered in Tripoli, the South African icon said his delegation was overjoyed with Gaddafi’s invitation to visit Libya and had been waiting impatiently for the occasion. These were true friends."
WHAT MANDELA AND GADDAFI AND MOST OTHERS IN AFRICA KNEW IS THAT THE WORLD BANK, THE IMF, MOST WESTERN NATIONS AND THE U.N. ARE IN THE BUSINESS OF DESTROYING AND KEEPING NATIONS SUBSERVIENT TO THEM, ESPECIALLY AFRICA.
READ "HOW THE WORLD BANK AND THE IMF DESTROY AFRICA", BUT BE AWARE THAT MANY CORRUPT AFRICAN DICTATORS HELP THEM DO JUST THAT.
ONE CAN SIT AND WATCH OLD NEWS FILMS, 'HOME VIDEOS' BY LIBYANS ALL DAY LONG OF HOW OFTEN GADDAFI WENT RIDING ABOUT IN AN OPEN CAR, STANDING AND WAVING FOR MILES IN THE OPEN AIR, OR STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF HUGE CROWDS, STANDING ON BALCONIES, AN EASY TARGET FOR A SHOOTER, WITHOUT ANY SECURITY GUARDS TO BLOCK SHOTS AT HIM.
WHO ATTEMPTED HIS ASSASSINATION IN ALL THE YEARS HE BOLDLY WENT ABOUT AMIDST THE PUBLIC, OPEN TO ATTACK FROM THOSE WHO LINED THE STREETS TO SEE HIM?
ONLY THE USA!
Through state subsidies funded with oil export sales, Libya had the highest standard of living in Africa with free, universal health care and free education, with the possibility of studying abroad at state expense; $50,000 for each new married couple to get started with; non-interest state loans; subsidized prices of cars much lower than in Europe; the cheapest gasoline and bread prices in the world (similar to Venezuela at that time, but look what happened to Venezuela when it's president suggested oil for gold), and no taxes for those working in agriculture.
WHY WOULD A PEOPLE LIVING UNDER SUCH PERKS, SO MANY BENEFITS HATE GADDAFI?
ACCORDING TO OVER 83% OF THEM, THEY NEVER DID HATE HIM, AND THEY DEEPLY GRIEVE HIS DEMISE!
1.7 MILLION GATHERED IN TRIPOLI TO PROTEST THE FIRST NATO STRIKE.
I AM NOT SAYING GADDAFI WAS "SWEETNESS AND LIGHT".
NONE of this is to say that Gaddafi was REMOTELY all that one could want in a leader, for he was NOT, but he was definitely not as bad as most of U.S.-NATO's allies, such as dictators in the Middle East (e.g., House of Saad/Saud, the madman Erdogan of Turkey) and many in Africa, or in Asia/India.
What NATO/ U.S. calls "friendly" governments are anything but, especially Saudi Arabia—which sent troops to 'good neighbor' Bahrain to murder hundreds of unarmed protesters, all condoned by the U.S.
[ALSO SEE THIS REPORT.]
WHO REMEMBERS THAT THOSE 9/11 "HIJACKER/TERRORISTS" ALMOST ALL CARRIED SAUDI CITIZENSHIP?
DID YOU FORGET THAT PART?
YES, OBAMA HAD GADDAFI "REMOVED", WAS TRYING TO "REMOVE" ASSAD IN SYRIA, AND I SUGGEST THAT THE U.S. WILL CONTINUE TO DO THESE THINGS AS LONG AS NO ONE IN GREAT NUMBERS CALLS IT WHAT IT IS...PREMEDITATED MURDER AND UNLAWFUL INVASION AND MEDDLING IN OTHER NATIONS' AFFAIRS, ALL TO KEEP AMERICA FROM SUCCUMBING TO ITS INSOLVENCY.
ALL FOR POWER.
