MOUSSA KOUSSA IS CIA - SUNDAY EXPRESS


On 3 April 2011, in the UK's Sunday Express, Gordon Thomas and Marco Giannangeli report that MOUSSA KOUSSA, the former Libyan head of Intelligence, has been working for MI6 and the CIA for many years.

LIBYA DEFECTOR MOUSSA KOUSSA IS AN MI6 AGENT

In 1978, Moussa Koussa attended Michigan State University in the USA.

He earned a degree in sociology and presumably made contact with the CIA.

In 1979 he was in the UK and presumably made contact with MI6.

His activities seem to favour the CIA and its friends.

MOUSSA KOUSSA IS CIA-MI6?

ONLY 9 OUT OF 22 MEMBERS OF ARAB LEAGUE VOTED FOR NO FLY ZONE!


Brian reported:

'As Asia Times Online has reported, a full Arab League endorsement of a no-fly zone is a myth.

'Of the 22 full members, only 11 were present at the voting.

'Six of them were Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) members, the US-supported club of Gulf kingdoms/sheikhdoms, of which Saudi Arabia is the top dog.

'Syria and Algeria were against it.

'Saudi Arabia only had to "seduce" three other members to get the vote.

'Translation: only nine out of 22 members of the Arab League voted for the no-fly zone.

'The vote was essentially a House of Saud-led operation, with Arab League secretary general Amr Moussa keen to polish his CV with Washington with an eye to become the next Egyptian President.

'Thus, in the beginning, there was the great 2011 Arab revolt.

'Then, inexorably, came the US-Saudi counter-revolution .'

OBAMA'S JIHADIS



On 31 March 2011, the Economist has an article entitled "Islam and the Arab revolutions: A golden opportunity?"



From this we learn:



1. The rebels in Libya are people like (A) Sufian bin Qumu, who worked for Osama bin Laden in the Sudan.



(B) Abdel Hakim al-Hisadi, who trained at bin Laden's base in Afghanistan.



2. In the 1980s, Western governments armed and used the jihadis in Afghanistan.



In the mid-1990s they formed the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, to oppose Gaddafi.



3. Egypt and Tunisia have now freed thousands of Islamists.



Libya’s Islamic Fighting Group and Egypt's Jamaat Islamiya both pursued terror campaigns in the 1990s.



The Libyan Islamic Fighting Group has changed its name to the Libyan Islamic Movement, and its 12-member politburo has pledged allegiance to the National Council in Benghazi.



4. There are "disturbing manifestations of the Islamists' rise."



Anwar Mitri is a school administrator in Egypt.



He is a Christian.



On 20 March 2011, Muslim vigilantes in his village arrested him, 'tried' him and lopped off his right ear.



Similar attacks in other parts of Egypt have targeted alcohol stores.



One Moslem was murdered because of alleged apostasy.



A recent rumour that Islamists planned to throw acid at unveiled women led to the evacuation of Christian students from a university dormitory.



In Egypt, Islamic sharia is described as 'the principal source of legislation'.



5. The latest issue of Inspire, the mouthpiece of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), hails the Arab revolutions.



On 28 March 2011, in Yemen, AQAP raided a munitions factory in Yemen.



150 people were killed.



6. Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the 'star preacher' on Al Jazeera, approves of the Western intervention in Libya.



But, he has condemned Bahrain’s democracy activists.

US-NATO KILL MORE KIDS IN LIBYA



http://thewe.name/weplanet/circus/2011/circus_march_1_2011.html



US-NATO bombings kill civilians in Tripoli



On 1 April 2011, at WSWS, Bill Van Auken reports:



1. According to the Vatican’s man in Libya, Bishop Martinelli, US-NATO air strikes are killing a growing numbers of civilians.



According to the Vatican representative,"Of particular concern, in the district of Buslim, a building collapsed because of the bombing killing 40 people...



"Yesterday I reported that the bombing had affected some hospitals...I can now confirm that one of these hospitals is in Misda."



The Euronews television channel reported on damage to the hospital and nearby homes.



Bishop Martinelli cited an incident in which an air strike affected a civilian neighborhood.



Martrinelli told the Fides news agency, "they are hitting ... targets which are in the midst of civilian neighborhoods."



2. The Associated Press interviewed the family of an 18-month-old toddler, Sirajuddin al-Sweisi, who was killed when US-NATO planes attacked the village of Khorum.



The boy’s mother said that their house was hit at about six in the morning. She found her son with a piece of hot metal embedded into the side of his face.



"His blood was streaming down my arm," she said weeping. "He was crying out, ‘Mama, Mama’, reaching out with his hand to me."



OBAMA GENOCIDE.



The Somalialand Press reports that black Africans in Libya are being kidnapped, raped, and murdered by U.S. backed rebels.



Onwuchekwa Jemie– a Nigerian journalist– claims the number of black Africans slaughtered to be in the thousands.



The Financial Times mentioned one black African who was threatened by rebel sympathizers who told him he would be murdered once Gaddafi is overthrown and the rebels take complete control over the country

MOUSSA KOUSSA IS CIA-MI6?

Moussa Koussa, who may have been working for the CIA and MI6 since the 1970s.

In 1978, Moussa Koussa attended Michigan State University in the USA. He earned a degree in sociology and presumably made contact with the CIA.

In 1979 he was in the UK and presumably made contact with MI6.

His activities seem to favour the CIA and its friends.

In line with CIA policy, he helped normalise relations between Libya and the USA and its allies.

In line with CIA policy, Koussa helped secure the release of al-Megrahi, thus preventing Megrahi's appeal from being heard, and thus preventing the CIA's faking of evidence from being revealed. (Gareth Peirce on the Framing of al-Megrahi)

In line with CIA policy, Koussa has criticised China's activities in Africa.

(

In line with CIA policy, Kusa pledged support for the IRA.

Moussa Koussa

Libya's foreign minister Moussa Koussa was in Tunisia on a diplomatic mission.



On 31 March 2011, we read that he mysteriously arrived at the UK's Farnborough airport before being taken to London.



Did he defect or was he pressurised? (Libyan foreign minister Moussa Koussa defects to Britain‎)

Brian has provided some useful links:



1. Reason for Libyan war? Gaddafi wanted to nationalise oil.

"On February 16, 2009, Gaddafi ... called on Libyans to back his proposal to dismantle the government and to distribute the oil wealth directly to the 5 million inhabitants of the country.

"However, his plan to deliver oil revenues directly to the Libyan people met opposition by senior officials who could lose their jobs due to a parallel plan by Gaddafi to rid the state of corruption."







2. Toward African freedom in Libya and beyond.

"No one has shouted any louder than Gaddafi that Africa must be for the Africans...

"Why hasn’t the Western world rolled into Israel or the West Bank and saved the Palestinian people who suffer true slaughter and discrimination at the hands of Israel?"

3. Libyan Rebel Leader Spent Much of Past 20 Years in Langley Virginia

Khalifa Hifter, the new leader of Libya's opposition military, spent the past two decades in suburban Virginia.

4. American Media Silent on CIA Ties to Libya Rebel Commander

Hifter is CIA.

5. LIBYA explained.

Mar 26, 1996 - "Reuters news reports ... state that unrest in ... Eastern Libya is caused by armed rebels... This is an operation to overthrow Gaddafi led by Col. Khalifa Hifter, of a contra-style group based in the United States called the LibyanNational Army."

CRUSADERS & LIBYA

Odin's Raven drew our attention to the blog of Adam Curtis.

Adam Curtis's Blog refers to GOODIES AND BADDIES

Curtis wrote about the Libya Intervention:

"Some see it as a noble, disinterested use of Western power. Others see it as a smokescreen for a latter-day liberal imperialism."

on 29th Mar 2011, Bob Long commented:

Just been reading about Richard I and the crusades and something that comes across very strongly is that there can be a Great Project (capturing the Holy Lands, protecting innocents, whatever) which The People believe in completely sincerely and which becomes an opportunity for their leaders.

Those leaders can make great mileage by openly espousing the Great Project while using it to pursue their own ends.

In the Crusades, many leaders had no interest in freeing the Holy Lands but had a strong interest in getting a military foothold there - some arrived and promptly allied with the Muslims.

Likewise, many Muslims had not a jot of interest in who owned Jerusalem but fighting the infidel was a good route to political influence.

LIBYA'S WATER

The Man Made River Project, Libya - Travel Photos by Galen R.

luis said...

From Pepe Escobar:

http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/MC30Ak01.html

Few in the West may know that Libya - along with Egypt - sits over the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer; that is, an ocean of extremely valuable fresh water.

So yes, this "now you see it, now you don't" war is a crucial water war.

Control of the aquifer is priceless - as in "rescuing" valuable natural resources from the "savages".

This Water Pipelineistan - buried underground deep in the desert along 4,000 km - is the Great Man-Made River Project (GMMRP), which Gaddafi built for $25 billion without borrowing a single cent from the IMF or the World Bank (what a bad example for the developing world).

The GMMRP supplies Tripoli, Benghazi and the whole Libyan coastline.

The amount of water is estimated by scientists to be the equivalent to 200 years of water flowing down the Nile.

Compare this to the so-called three sisters - Veolia (formerly Vivendi), Suez Ondeo (formerly Generale des Eaux) and Saur - the French companies that control over 40% of the global water market.

All eyes must imperatively focus on whether these pipelines are bombed.

An extremely possible scenario is that if they are, juicy "reconstruction" contracts will benefit France.

That will be the final step to privatize all this - for the moment free - water.

From shock doctrine to water doctrine...

CYNTHIA McKINNEY ON LIBYA

http://kennysideshow.blogspot.com/ drew our attention to "Cynthia McKinney on Obama and Libya"

According to Cynthia McKinney on 27 March 2011:

1. Oil, Israel and military bases.

In 2005 former CIA agent Ray McGovern told members of the US Congressthat "the United States went to war in Iraq for oil, Israel, and military bases craved by administration neocons" so that "the United States and Israel could dominate that part of the world."

2. Oligarchs.

On September 11, 1990, President George H W Bush spoke of a New World Order, which means 'rule by a few oligarchs'.

3. We can see 'the oligarchization of the U.S. economy.'

4. The US military.

The US attack on Libya is called a "humanitarian intervention."

"In reality, the US military ... causes civilian pain, suffering, destruction, and death..."

"US troops threw a grenade at an innocent Afghan boy before chopping off his finger and later using it as 'gambling chip' in a game of cards." (U.S. troops cheering.)

5. The US record

In 1994 a US missile shot down a plane carrying both the Rwandan President Juvénal Habyarimana and Burundian President Cyprien Ntaryamira.

This led to the Rwandan Genocide.

The US did nothing to provide humanitarian intervention.

Today, the Obama Administration is responsible for its own war crimes.

US taxpayers continue to pay for the continued subjugation of Palestine.

The Obama Administration goes in for Balkanization, carefully crafted chaos, and death and destruction to achieve its unstated objectives.

6. What about Libya?

Libya has oil.

Sarkozy's actions in Libya aid Israel.

Le Figaro newspaper identified Sarkozy as a Mossad asset.

"As long as Muslims are fighting each other they won't have time to focus on Israel or Palestine."

AFRICOM, the United States military's Africa Command, was created to give the US control of Africa.

Libya's Revolution brought free health care and education to the people and subsidized housing.

Libyans have a form of direct democracy. The US is going in for counter-Revolution.

7. What about Lockerbie?

A Member of the UK Parliament has said that the evidence in the Lockerbie Bomb case was planted by the CIA.

The Member of Parliament did his own investigation and discovered to his satisfaction that "the [timing] device was a C.I.A. plant."

8. What about Gaddafi?

Gaddafi's daughter was murdered by US bombs.

Victor Ostrovsky, a Mossad defector, revealed that the bombing took place as a result of faked intelligence and that Gaddafi was set up by Israel in Operation Trojan.

According to Ostrovsky, a "radio transmitter smuggled into Tripoli by the Mossad, broadcast messages designed to fool the United States into thinking Libya was about to launch a massive terror attack on the West."

Gaddafi provided the African National Congress and Nelson Mandela the means to defeat apartheid in South Africa.

9. The Libyan Rebels

The National Front for the Salvation of Libya held its most recent meeting in the United States in July 2007.

NAZI NATO KILLS LIBYAN BABIES.

NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen
Website for this image

On 28 March 2011, Brian alerted us to the Letter From Russian Doctors In Libya To The President Of Russia.

Extracts:

Today, 24 March 2011, ... the target of bombing is a barracks of the Libyan army, around which are densely populated residential areas, and next to it – the largest of Libya’s Heart Centers.

Bombs and rockets struck residential houses....

In the maternity ward ... a wall collapsed and part of the roof.

This resulted in ten miscarriages whereby babies died; the women are in intensive care; doctors are fighting for the women's lives...

We and our colleagues are working seven days a week, to save people.

This is a direct consequence of bombs and missiles falling in residential buildings resulting in dozens of deaths and injuries...

The large number of wounded and killed, as happened today, is very much greater than anything that happened during the riots in Libya...

The United States and its allies are thus carrying out genocide against the Libyan people – as was the case in Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and Iraq.

After an abortive coup attempt in late February, the situation calmed down in Libya and the government had successfully restored order.

To everyone in Libya, it was clear that without American intervention the country would soon return to normal life.

Libyans ... are entitled to free treatment, and their hospitals provide the best medical equipment in the world.

Education in Libya is free...

When marrying, young couples receive about 50,000 U.S. dollars...

Cars ... are affordable for every family. ...

In February, the peaceful life of the people was violated by gangs of criminals and insane drugged youth – whom the Western media for some reason called “peaceful demonstrators”...

We understand that when all the foreigners leave and no one will tell the truth (the small staff of diplomatic missions have long been silenced), the Americans will arrange here a bloodbath.

MURDER OF FREEDOM IN LIBYA



Odin's Raven drew our attention to 'Brit-ish murder of freedom in Libya'

"Qadaffi... in his 'Green Book' ... accurately describes western-style democracy as a trick by which rule is given over to 'a dictatorship'...

"Libya is rich - with oil revenue being equally distributed amongst the general population for the good of all.

"Contrast this with Scotland where the oil companies make a fortune and many Scots live below the poverty line and eek out an existence rather than a fruitful life.

"Scenes on CNN and the BBC of people fleeing across the border into Tunisia have been manipulated to produce the idea that Libyans are escaping the Qadaffi regime.

"In truth the people leaving are guest workers fleeing the NATO murderers...

"The rebels are mostly foreign in origin and entirely controlled by foreign interests, notably the unholy trinity of UK-USA-Israel.

"Why would foreign interests wish to destabilise the most cultured, civilised, prosperous and peaceful country in Africa?

"There are several reasons: Brit-ish murder of freedom in Libya

NOVEMBER 2010 WAR GAME PLANS PRECEDED LIBYA ATTACK

On 27 March 2011, Democratic congressman Dennis J Kucinich wrote about war games and Libya (Libya's struggle ...):

According to Kucinich:

1. On 2 November 2010 France and Great Britain signed a mutual defence treaty.

This was to lead to "Southern Mistral" (http://www.southern-mistral.cdaoa.fr/), a series of war games.

Southern Mistral involved an air attack, called Southern Storm, against a dictatorship in a fictitious southern country called Southland.

The joint military air strike was authorised by a pretend United Nations Security Council Resolution.

The "Composite Air Operations" were planned for the period of 21-25 March, 2011.

2. On 20 March, 2011, the USA joined France and Great Britain in an air attack on Libya.

3. Are the war games Operation Odyssey Dawn?

4. Were the Libyan opposition told about the existence of Southern Mistral/Southern Storm?

This could have encouraged them to violence?

5. Libya was attacked, we have been told, because Gaddafi allegedly had killed 6,000 of his own people.

But is this true?

It sounds like Iraq: "Saddam was killing his own people, will kill his people, or will kill us if we don"t get him first."

The Iraq war begins its ninth year.

The cost is in excess of $3 trillion.

The intelligence making the case for the war was "sexed up".

"In the name of saving the people of Iraq, we bombed the country, invaded, changed the regime and it is still a carnival of death."

US CONTROL OF THE MEDITERRANEAN

Blue: Members of the European Union for the Mediterranean / Green: Other members / Striped green: Libya

The Mediterranean Union was created in 2008.

It includes Israel, but not Libya.

This Union will no doubt be a tool of the American Empire.

The HQ of the Mediterranean Union, in Barcelona.

At http://www.voltairenet.org/en, Rick Rozoff has an article entitled:

Libyan War And Control Of The Mediterranean

From this we learn:


1.
The Mediterranean Sea is the main battle front in the world.

2.
The Mediterranean is to be part of the the US empire.

3.
Almost all the Mediterranean nations are tied to NATO and the US military. The exceptions are Syria, Lebanon and Libya.

(Cyprus is not in NATO but has military bases of use to the US and its allies.)

4.
Libya is also one of only five of Africas countries that have not been integrated into the U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM).

The others are: Sudan, which is being balkanized.

Ivory Coast
, now under the threat of foreign military intervention, linked to AFRICOM.

Eritrea
, where 5,000 U.S. and French troops are based.

Zimbabwe
.

5.
Lin Zhiyuan, deputy director of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Academy of Military Sciences:

"By building a dozen forward bases or establishments in Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria and other African nations, the U.S. will gradually establish a network of military bases to cover the entire continent and make essential preparations for docking an aircraft carrier fleet in the region.

"The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) with the U.S. at the head had [in 2006] carried out a large-scale military exercise in Cape Verde, a western African island nation, with the sole purpose of controlling the sea and air corridors of crude oil extracting zones and monitoring how the situation is with oil pipelines operating there.

"[A]frica Command represents a vital, crucial link for the US adjustment of its global military deployment. At present, it is moving the gravity of its forces in Europe eastward and opening new bases in Eastern Europe.

"The present US global military redeployment centers mainly on an ‘arc of instability’ from the Caucasus, Central and Southern Asia down to the Korean Peninsula, and so the African continent is taken as a strong point to prop up the US global strategy.

"Therefore, AFRICOM facilitates the United States advancing on the African continent, taking control of the Eurasian continent and proceeding to take the helm of the entire globe."

CIA USING AL QAEDA TO TOPPLE ARAB LEADERS


It looks as if the CIA, and members of the wealthy Arab elite, are using al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood to topple Arab rulers who are out of favour.

On 1 March 2011, in New America Media, Yoichi Shimatsu wrote "Mideast Revolutions and 9-11 Intrigues Created in Qatar."

(Mideast Revolutions and 9-11 intrigues crafted in Qatar. - link from Brian)

According to this article:

The protestors in North Africa and the Middle East are being manipulated by the right-wing Arab elite.

This elite has been backing people like al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood.

"Credible U.S. intelligence reports have cited evidence pointing to Qatar's long-running support for the Muslim Brotherhood, Al Qaeda and jihadist fighters returning from Afghanistan."

In Libya, the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), which is friends with Al Qaeda, has seized armouries containing high-power explosives, rocket launchers and chemical weapons.

Al Jazeera let slip that the earliest Libyan protests were organized by the LIFG.

150 of Gaddafi's soldiers were reportedly "gunned down by war-hardened returned militants from Iraq and Afghanistan...."

Qatar - home to al Qaeda

According to the 9/11 Commission Report, Qatar's Interior Minister provided a safe haven to 9/11 mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed during the mid-1990s.

Press reports show other 'terrorists' may have received financial support or safe haven in Qatar after September 11, 2001.

The national security chief, Interior Minister Abdullah bin Khalid al-Thani, is mentioned as paying for a 1995 trip by Khalid Shaikh Mohammed ‘to join the Bosnia jihad.'



On 25 March 2011, at Global Research and at The Asia-Pacific Journal., Peter Dale Scott has an artcle entitled 'Who are the Libyan Freedom Fighters and Their Patrons?'

(Peter Dale Scott, former Canadian diplomat and Professor at the University of California, Berkeley, is the author of American War Machine: Deep Politics, the CIA Global Drug Connection and the Road to Afghanistan. His website is here.)

According to Peter Dale Scott:

1. Gaddafi has long faced threats to his life from Mossad, the Saudis, MI6, and various Libyan groups trained by the US and Israel.

2. Israel and the US have trained anti-Libyan rebels in a number of African countries, including Chad.

3. In 1985, the US asked Egypt to invade Libya and overthrow Gadafi but President Mubarak refused.

4. The FNSL (National Front for the Salvation of Libya) held its national congress in the USA in July 2007.

5. The LIFG (Libyan Islamic Fighting Group) was founded in 1995 by a group of mujahideen veterans who had fought in Afghanistan.

(Libyan rebel commander, Abdel-Hakim al-Hasidi, has admitted that his fighters have al-Qaeda links /Libyan “revolutionaries” aren’t so revolutionary.. )

Al Libi of al Qaeda

MI6 has been accused of supporting LIFG.

LIFG's Abdulwahab Mohammed Kayed is the brother of Abu Yahya Al Libi, one of al Qaeda's top propagandists.

LIFG's failed attempt to assassinate Qadhafi in February 1996 was said to have been financed by MI6.

According to one report, LIFG received up to $50,000 from al Qaeda's leader for each of its militants killed on the battlefield.

6. After the toppling of Mubarak, Egypt's military began shipping arms over the border to Libyan rebels.

There were hundreds of thousands of Egyptian labourers in Libya.

LIBYANS UNDER GADDAFI

Happy Libyan children by CharlesFred.

Brian alerted us to the following:

British economic journalists David Blundy and Andrew Lycett observed the following about LIBYA:

"The young people are well dressed, well fed and well educated.

"Libyans now earn more per capita than the British.

"The disparity in annual incomes… is smaller than in most countries.

"Libya's wealth has been fairly spread throughout society.

"Every Libyan gets free, and often excellent, education, medical and health services.

"New colleges and hospitals are impressive by any international standard.

"All Libyans have a house or a flat, a car and most have televisions, video recorders and telephones.

"Compared with most citizens of the Third World countries, and with many in the First World, Libyans have it very good indeed."

SARKOZY-GADDAFI DEAL ON WAR PLANES; NOV 2010 PLAN TO TOPPLE GADDAFI



At http://fbechis.blogspot.com/ there is an article entitled "Sarkozy declared war on Italy"



"Ma quale Gheddafi! Sarkò ha dichiarato guerra all'Italia"



According to this article:

For three years French President Nicolas Sarkozy was extremely keen to sell to Libya:



(1) an entire fleet of Dassault fighter aircraft



(2) nuclear plants in and around Tripoli.



These sales were discussed by Sarkozy and Gaddafi in December 2007 in Paris.



As it turned out, Gaddafi bought very little from France.



Gaddafi bought from Russia and Italy.



Sarkozy frothed with rage.



Now France is bombing Libya.



France is bombing the planes Gaddafi bought from Russia.







On 25 March 2011, at http://www.voltairenet.org/en we learn that French plans to topple Gaddafi have been on track since last November

From this we learn:

According to Italian journalist Franco Bechis, plans to spark the Benghazi rebellion were initiated by the French intelligence services in November 2010.

This revelation has the blessing of the Italian secret services.



Timeline of events



October 6, 2010



Former Gaddafi supporter Nouri Mesmari, working with the French secret service, is to mastermind the revolution against Gaddafi.



Documents on this have been leaked to the Italian newspaper Libero.



Mesmari gives the French much information about the Gaddafi regime.



October 20, 2010



Mesmari, under the protection of French secret services, heads to France.



He has several top secret meetings with secret service agents and other top people close to Nicolas Sarkozy.



November 18, 2010



A French ‘commercial’ delegation leaves for Benghazi.



In the delegation there are officials from the Ministry of Agriculture and representitives from Cam Cereals, France Export Cereals, Cargill, Glencore, France Agrimer, Soufflet, Louis Dreyfous, and Comagra.



Among the delegation, posing as government officials, there are French secret service agents and military staff.



Their 'business' is meeting army officers ready to defect from the Libyan army.



While in Benghazi, contact is made with Libyan air defence colonel, Abdallah Gehani.

Israeli plane in Libya? Secrecy surrounds pilot and weapons officer in F-15 crash



November 28, 2010



An international warrant of arrest is issued by the Libyan government for Nouri Mesrami.



Foreign Minister Musa Koussa is held responsible for the defection of Mesrami and his passport is withdrawn by the authorities.



December 2, 2010



Muammar Gaddafi sends messages to Nouri Mesrami to win him back saying that he forgives him for what he did and invites him back to Libya.



December 23, 2010



A delegation of Libyans arrives in Paris for meetings with Mesrami and other French officials.



The Libyans are Ali Ounes Mansouri, Farj Charrant and Fathi Boukhris.



These three men will be known later, together with Ali Hajj, as leaders of the revolution, that started from Benghazi.



The Libyan delegation together with Mesrami and French military and secret service personnel dine at an elegant French restaurant at the Champs Elisée.



Decmber 25 – 31, 2010



" The situation in Benghazi is boiling".



Januray 22, 2011



Protests turn into clashes and army officials desert.



The rebels capture important cities.



The French government is the first European state to recognise the new Libyan National Council and establish diplomatic relations.



~~



Sarkozy and Gadaffi were keen on doing military deals worth billions of Euros, before they fell out, according to the Telegraph



'Libya funded Sarkozy's election campaign'





On 25 March 2011, The Guardian has an article entitled: Libya remembers, we forget: these bombs are not the first



From this we learn:



"The world's first aerial bombing campaign took place in Libya ... in September 1911."



The Italians bombed Libya, hoping to make it part of their empire.



The Italians carried out "the deliberate destruction of villages, wells and herds with force.



"Nearly 100,000 people were interned or deported, and thousands died of disease or malnutrition in labour camps.



"Italian planes ... dropped mustard gas in defiance of the 1925 Geneva protocol...



"The Italians ... devastated the old pastoral economy, and depopulated much of the land..."



After World War II, Libya's new British-backed king, Idris was eventually replaced by Colonel Gaddafi.



"Gaddafi ordered British and American air bases to close and kicked out the 20,000 Italians still living in the country, nationalising their property...



"Two years after forcing the Italians to leave, the socialist Gaddafi was inviting Italian corporations back in, turning the former colonial oppressor into Libya's chief European business partner...



"The Libyans ... will remember what we have forgotten – that these planes are not the first..."

GADDAFI'S OPPONENTS ARE DRUGS DEALERS?

With CIA control of North Africa, cocaine can more easily reach Europe?

Gaddafi's opponents are drugs dealers.

They are involved in the trade in cocaine.

Their partners may be the CIA?

In 2007, al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri announced a merger between the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) and al Qaeda in the Islamic Mahgreb (AQIM)

(LIBYA: 2009 COUNTRY REPORTS ON TERRORISM - Telegraph)

In November 2010, Moroccan police detained 34 people with ties to al Qaeda in the Islamic Mahgreb (AQIM), attempting to move 1,300 pounds of cocaine through Morocco.

The Moroccan Interior Minister said "We are dealing with an apparent coordination and collaboration between drug traffickers and terrorists linked to al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb."

He said that the leader of AQIM's drug ring was detained in Mali.

He said that the international drug ring involved Moroccan drug traffickers, who were collaborating with al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, as well as cartels in Latin America.

"According to UN reports, nearly 60 percent of the cocaine sold in Europe transits through weak West African states such as Mali, Niger, Mauritania, and Guinea Bissau...

"As many of these same countries are now becoming a haven for a shadowy group calling itself Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), there are growing concerns that Islamist radicals and Latin American drug cartels may be working together, both to enrich themselves and to weaken the law enforcement capability of those West African states."

AQIM=CIA, it's totally obvious.

CIA TERRORISM IN LIBYA & PAKISTAN

Al-Libi

The people opposing Gaddafi are the CIA's al Qaeda.

The Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) has been an affiliate of al-Qaida.

(Libyan rebellion has radical Islamist fervor.)

Top al-Qaida member Abu Yahya al-Libi, above, has been an LIFG member.

On 18 March 2011, a Daily Telegraph (UK) article tells us that in Libya: the West and al-Qaeda are on the same side

"An al-Qaeda leader of Libyan origin, Abu Yahya al-Libi, released a statement backing the (Libyan) insurrection a week ago..."

US government "cables ... identified Dernah (in Libya) in particular as a breeding ground for fighters in a number of causes, including Afghanistan and Iraq.

"Col Gaddafi has pinpointed the rebels in Dernah as being led by an al-Qaeda cell that has declared the town an Islamic emirate...

"The man running Dernah's defences, Abdelkarim al-Hasadi, was arrested by US forces in Afghanistan in 2002..."

The military chief of the opposition National Council "is Abdul Fattah Younis al-Obeidi" who "worked with the SAS..."

I discovered, hidden in my 'spam' box, a number of useful comments. They have now been 'published'. Sorry about the delay.

Below are two such comments, which just happen to be about CIA terrorism:

1. Bravo for raising concerns about CIA support for the Baloch separatist movement.

I believe this is well-supported by the evidence.

It seems to me that the government of Pakistan has only discussed this sensitive issue in closed door sessions, but since Davis' arrest, more retired generals and ISI agents are speaking out about it:

http://www.asiantribune.com/news/2011/03/15/raymond-davis%E2%80%93us-blackmail-tactics#comment-152645

The Pentagon makes no secret (via unclassified documents widely available on the Internet) of their desire to see energy and mineral rich Balochistan secede from Pakistan to become a US client state - just like energy and mineral rich Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and the other former Soviet republics.

Moreover there’s no way to ascertain whether random acts of terror in the border regions are caused by the Taliban, Al Qaeda or the CIA-funded BLA.

However there's no question that CIA-sponsored BLA terrorism is responsible for much of the violence - especially around the Chinese-built port in Gwadar, Pakistan (employed to offload Iranian oil destined for China).

Given that Iran and China are major political/economic rivals, it's a pity the US media fails to report on any of this.

I blog about this at "Our CIA freedom fighters in Pakistan"

A Libyan living in the UK, Al-Bashir Mohammed Al-Faqih was convicted in the UK of 'terrorism' offences. Reportedly he is linked to the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group.

2. The Libyan Islamic Fighting Group which began the uprisings:

An analytical report is available for download from the NEFA Foundation website focusing on the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), authored by NEFA Senior Investigator Evan Kohlmann (with NEFA Senior Analyst Josh Lefkowitz).

This document is based upon an expert witness report filed in 2007 on behalf of Scotland Yard's SO-15 Counter Terrorism Command and the U.K. Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) during Operation Cavern (Regina v. Al Bashir Mohammed al-Faqih).

In July 2007, Mr. al-Faqih pleaded guilty to two counts of possessing a document or record containing information of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism—specifically documents demonstrating how to fabricate explosives and set up a terror cell.

The report is divided into the following sections: Part I: Origins in the 1980s Part II: Exile in the Sudan (1992-1995) Part III: The Libyan Theater (1990-1997) Part IV: A Return to Jihad in Afghanistan (1998-2001) Part V: The LIFG and the Contemporary War on Terrorism.

Additionally, the report includes an appendix featuring an actual personnel form completed by recruits seeking to enlist in courses offered at the LIFG-run "Abu Yahya al-Liby" terrorist training camp near Kabul, Afghanistan in 2000-2001.

Child injured by US-NATO bombing in Afghanistan.

On 22nd March 2011 we learn that in Libya, a US chopper has shot 6 pro-American villagers including a boy who may have to have his leg amputated.

"Six Libyan villagers are recovering in hospital after being shot by American soldiers coming in to rescue the U.S. pilots whose plane crash-landed in a field.

"The locals, who had come to greet the pilots, were hit - among them a young boy who may have to have a leg amputated because of injuries caused by a bullet wound...

"Channel Four's International Editor Lindsey Hilsum confirmed the civilian casualties..."

SCUM!

David Cameron wins support

The UK House of Commons has voted by 557 to 13 to support the destruction of Libya and the murder of Libyan civilians.

According to an ITV/ComRes poll, only 35% of UK people agreed it is right for the UK to take military action against Gaddafi’s forces.

Most Brits are against strikes on Libya

Most UK Members of Parliament voted to wreck Iraq and Afghanistan.

Voters believe MPs are corrupt, according to a poll

The decent MPs who voted against the UK action on Libya are (MPs Vote.):

Tory

John Baron (Basildon & Billericay);

Labour

MPs Graham Allen (Nottingham North),

Ronnie Campbell (Blyth Valley),

Jeremy Corbyn (Islington North),

Barry Gardiner (Brent North),

New World Order scum?

Note that the Scottish National Party voted to bomb Libya.

The Scottish National Party would also appear to be part of the cover-up over Lockerbie.

Angus Robertson.

In the UK parliament, Angus Struan Carolus Robertson is the Scottish National Party (SNP) Member of Parliament for Moray.

In the UK parliament, Robertson is the SNP Parliamentary Leader and Spokesperson on Foreign Affairs and Defence.

Robertson voted against the Iraq War, against Trident nukes, and against the anti-terror laws.

But, he supports the 'no-fly' zone over Libya, which involves the bombing of Libya and the killing of civilians.

Robertson was born in London and his mother is German.

He speaks fluent German. (Angus Robertson - Wikipedia)

He worked as a foreign and diplomatic correspondent in Central Europe for the BBC, which is believed to be run by MI6.

He is a participant in the Parliamentary Armed Forces Scheme, which gives Members of Parliament experience of the armed forces, and which is sponsored by arms manufacturers.

NO OCCUPATION FORCE?


Address by Adolf Hitler, Chancellor of the Reich, before the Reichstag.

Mr Speaker, some weeks ago the people of the Sudetenland took to the streets in protest.

President Edvard Beneš has resisted the wish of the people to take their destiny into their own hands.



Mr Speaker, intervening in another country's affairs should not be undertaken save in quite exceptional circumstances.

That is why we've always been clear that the use of force would require three tests to be met.


First, demonstrable need.

The Benes regime has ignored the demand that it stop discriminating against the people of the Sudetenland.

Second, regional support.

In recent days I have spoken with leaders from Italy and Spain who support our demands.


Mr Speaker, the third and essential condition was that there should be a clear legal base.

France and the United Kingdom have agreed to the Munich Agreement.

We have no further territorial demands.

There will be no occupation force of any form, on any part of Libyan territory.
