On last Friday, 17. February, it was exactly one year ago, when the Libyan revolution had started. This was the prelude to, at least, eight months of civil war in Libya and also the prelude to over 50,000 people, which have lost their lives in this NATO war in Libya. The level of false propaganda was enormous and is still enormous. It was no peaceful revolution in Libya from the beginning, unlike in Tunisia and Egypt.
The brutality was already there in Libya, together with the beginning of the so-called revolution. Not to mention that more and more people have doubts about the so-called revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt. The “Arab spring” seems to be no revolution for democracy, but a revolution for Islamistic interests.
What happened in Libya has never been a revolution, it was never a rebellion of the Libyan people, but a staged fall of a nasty dictator, the former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi (Qaddafi), by the West. What happened and is still happening under the command of NATO and the United Nations (UN) is just another example of the war crimes of the West in the struggle for supremacy over resources.
It’s seems to be confirmed that about 50,000 Libyan people are dead and 40,000 people are still missing. Even some Western state media confirmed this already, as a side-note. Hawks will not pick out hawks’ eyes.
Mass media was brought into line already from the beginning. Investigative journalism is just a fairy tale. No joyful balance in Libya. No real reason for jubilation. Libya was destroyed for questionable interests and dubious intentions.
After the fall of the former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi (Qaddafi) and his murder, nothing has changed for the better in Libya. Supporters of the former leader Gaddafi have to still fear for their lives, the so-called dubious Libyan National Transitional Council (NTC) is a farce.
Who was on the “wrong side”, is now held to account. The armed militias and Islamists try to take revenge. Of course, these armed gangs also rape, torture and murder Libyan civilians. However, there are still supporters of the former Libyan leader Gaddafi, who have used last Friday in order to demonstrate just like the so-called revolutionaries.
Even if they have celebrated on last Friday, the joy of many Libyans about their “new life” is likely to be not really huge. The position in the Libyan war and during the so-called revolution will apparently decide about the further life or the end of the life. Who took part in the fight against Muammar Gaddafi has, of course, less fears now.
The armed militias have taken over the control in many parts of Libya and are still interested to get some of the cake of power. These former rebels are now a threat for everyone. The Libyan National Transitional Council (NTC) has no control and is still a hypocritically, not really legitimated Libyan “council”. Not to mention the flags of al-Qaeda in the capital and other places of Libya.
The questionable Libyan National Transitional Council (NTC) in Tripoli has little effect on the armed militia, although these rebels are still claiming to be behind the political leadership. But that`s just for the show. In the end, the armed militias in Libya follow their commanders and don`t follow the dubious Libyan National Transitional Council (NTC).
These groups of armed militias fight each other and want to ensure that they are able to increase their power and influence in Libya. Large parts of Libya have been destroyed and the loyal Gaddafi-supporters are still persecuted, imprisoned and also raped and tortured.
These are no attempts to lead the country Libya into a real democratic future. This is just the typically NATO/US propaganda. What counts is the thought of revenge, and so those, who have supported the former Libyan leader Gaddafi and his troops, have to expect the worst.
The chants at the beginning of the revolution are long forgotten. Torture, rape, crime and murder are a daily business of the armed rebels in Libya now. The questionable Libyan National Transitional Council (NTC) is powerless, a pawn of al-Qaida, the militias and NATO.
The rebuilding of the country has no real progressing, even months after the “official victory of the revolution and the NATO war in Libya”, the people suffer under the conditions of Western interests and al-Qaeda thugs. They have lost everything, not just their homes. Many people have lost family members in this further NATO war, but whether NATO will be held accountable for war crimes at some point is questionable, of course.
The NATO seems to be far away from their dogmas at their founding. After all, the war was waged for humanitarian reasons – humanitarian? Perhaps for the West in order to secure access to oil and water and to overthrow Muammar Gaddafi – sure also because of his plans for Africa. For most Libyans, the NATO mission, which was based on lies, was far away from being a so-called defense of human rights.
In order to appease the Libyan population and to require a bit more patience from the people in Libya, the dubious government has now guaranteed some financial assistance for them. Therefore, all Libyan families are promised an amount equal about 1.600 US Dollars.
Anyone who has lost a loved one in the fight against the former Libyan leader Gaddafi, will receive a monthly allowance, the same applies to former rebel fighters, who are jobless now. Other Libyan thugs went to Jordan to fight against the Syrian government and army.
Some sources assume that they receive money from Qatar and Saudi Arabia now. Not to mention the al-Qaeda influence within those armed mercenaries. In Libya it almost seems as if the dubious National Transitional Council (NTC) buys the support of the people or tries this now.
Of course, it`s unclear what the families will receive which still support the former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi (Qaddafi) and have also lost relatives. Probably they will not receive anything, of course.
Are the announced aids by the questionable Libyan Prime Minister al-Keib really a help or just a kind of attempt to secure votes for the elections to a transitional government? In June, the election for a transitional government will take place in Libya.
This elected transitional government of Libya will then try to draft a new constitution for Libya. A “soft” Sharia law for Libya? We will see. It remains to be seen how Islamic or Islamistic dominated this new transitional government will be. It`s also questionable which position the several armed militias will have.
Currently, it seems that Libya will be “Islamized” – in the meaning of a Islamistic take-over. The Islamic laws of Sharia have been already welcomed as a source of law in Libya. Many Libyans can expect very difficult times, of which the overthrow and murder of the former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi (Qaddafi) was only the beginning.
What will happen with Bani-Walid? The inhabitants of this Libyan city have rebelled earlier this new year and also have ended the support for the Western puppets. Understandable somehow. Since the 23. January, the green flag blows in Bani-Wali again.
The forces of the dubious Libyan National Transitional Council (NTC) are in front of the gates of the city since then, together with some other armed radicals and militias. But how will all this continue in Libya? Will they try to use negotiations to convince the tribe of Warfalla in Bani-Walid?
Will this tribe of Warfalla accept this after all? This tribe of Warfalla is proud of the green flag. Will this succeed? Questions which don`t fit into the images of the fabricated media reports in the West. Will there be any financial help for those families also or do they have to pay for their “disobedience”? How will the armed militias really deal with Bani Walid?
Will they again ask for foreign aid, just as one has done to overthrow Gaddafi, or will they fight alone this time? What´s about the allegedly American soldiers in Libya? No news in mass media doesn`t mean there are really no news. Too much is kept hidden from the Western populations.
