Les troupes fidèles au leader libyen Mouammar Kadhafi ont lancé mardi une offensive sur plusieurs villes contrôlées par les rebelles, a annoncé la chaîne satellitaire Al-jazira. Les troupes gouvernementales ont repris le contrôle de la ville de Marsa el-Brega située dans l'est du pays à 200 km de Benghazi. Selon les témoins, les combats de rue ont fait au moins 14 morts. Marsa el-Brega est un grand terminal pétrolier situé à proximité d'un aéroport international contrôlé récemment encore par les insurgés. La ville abrite une importante raffinerie de pétrole et une usine de liquéfaction de gaz naturel. D'après la chaîne qatarie, les troupes pro-Kadhafi effectuent également des frappes aériennes contre une autre ville, Adjedabia, où se trouvent une base militaire et un dépôt de munitions passés sous le contrôle des rebelles. Les émeutes dirigées contre le régime du colonel Kadhafi secouent la Libye depuis le 15 février. A l'heure actuelle, le guide de la révolution libyenne ne contrôle plus l'est du pays et certaines villes de l'ouest. Pour mater la révolte, les autorités ont fait appel à des mercenaires étrangers. Selon les organisations internationales, les violences ont déjà fait plus de 2.000 morts et plus de 4.000 blessés.L’association libyenne pour les droits de l’Homme estime que le nombre de morts depuis le début de la révolte libyenne s’élève à 6000 !

HARO SUR LES BAUDETS

BRAHIM est un malhonnêteté cumulard, il parle de démocratie sans aucun adjectif civilisé et opportun, pour lui, la démocratie doit être "populaire", c'est à dire l'archaïque dictature du prolétariat, or une dictature est une dictature, qu'elle soit du prolétariat ou autre.
Il est malhonnête quand il fait du PCT le parti tunisien de la résistance par excellence, quand on sait que ce dernier a été sous les dictatures de BOURGUIBA et BEN ALI, le parti de la collaboration par excellence, récompensé par le fait du prince plus souvent qu'à son tour, HARMEL , BRAHIM des résistants ? Le pire c'est qu' un petit groupe de groupies résignées et sectaires croit dur comme fer, à cette comédie .
Il est malhonnête, le BRAHIM, quand il se présente lui-même en résistant hors norme, contrairement à certains autre opposants qui d'après lui avaient toujours rampé, alors qu'en ce domaine de l'opposition démocratique et du sacrifice, lui et son parti qui ont toujours siégé dans le parlement légitime illégitime et félon de ben ALI; ces gens là ont toujours été des caricatures opportuniste de toute opposition patriotique et claire, ces rouges-brun ont été de parfaits supplétifs de s dictatures tunisiennes, comme JRAD le voleur, la classe ouvriére, ils s'en branlent, ce qui les intéresse , c'est le festin à la table des deux rois des cons qui avaient prostitué l'ÊTRE tunisien .
CE Brahim et SON GROUPUSCULE ne sont pas à la hauteur des sacrifices des milliers d'opposants tunisien à la dictature, l'opposition tunisienne de touté obédiance, que ce soit par rapports aux emmurés d'ENNAHDA, de ceux du CPR, du PCOT , des indépendants, ou même certaines personnes du PDP, BRAHIM n'est qu'un grotesque stalinien comme son mentor HERMAL la courtisane par excellence de tous les pouvoirs oppresseurs des tuniqiens et de la tunisie, ETTAJDID n'est pas l' ANC ou BRAHIM n'est pas MENDELA qui veut, ces communistes tunisiens tendance ETTAJDID sont des opposants de pacotille qui furent, qu'ils le veuillent ou pas, dans le subconscient collectif des tunisiens, les alliés objectifs de BEN ALI, en semant la FITNA et la terreur par le chantage et la délation au sein de l'opposition démocratique , eux qui furent des alibis constant et consternant à BEN ALI et ses cirques sanguinaires.
BRAHIMI est malhonnête idéologiquement , culturellement et socialement, stalinien sans aucune envergure, il emploie les méthodes de la STASI, il collabore de fait , aujourd'hui à un gouvernement fantoche et se sert de sa position de "ministre" illégitime, de tous les moyens de l'état pour faire sa propre promotion et la promotion de son parti, à l'exclusion de toutes les autres singularités de l'opposition tunisienne censurée et mise de côté par ce gouvernement et ce président RCD.Les tunisiens ne sont pas dupes de leurs magouilles, que ce soit lui, ou son ami ANCHABBI, et ils sont à jamais grillé dans nos chaumières, ces mesquins emploient les mêmes méthodes que le parti unique le RCD, il n'y a qu'eux qui parlent et s'expriment, des squatteurs nuisibles et indésirables de la parole publique qu'ils dénigrent; et ces misérables pleurnichent et font dans la victimisation, quand la rue tunisienne, bien plus intelligente qu'eux, rejette leur imposture et leur magouille,il suffit de ces minables qui salissent nos principes patriotiques et les valeurs révolutionnaires et civilisés des tunisiens, dans leur immense majorité.
Un seul chemin
Je possède enfin un fusil
Emmenez-moi avec vous
En Palestine !
Vers des terres tristes comme le visage
De la magdaléenne
Vers les dômes verts et les pierres bénites.
Depuis vingt ans que je cherche
Une terre, une identité
Je cherche ma maison qui est là-bas
Ma patrie, entourée de barbelés
Je cherche mon enfance,
Mes camarades de quartier,
Mes livres, mes images,
Tout âtre, tout vase fleuri
En Palestine, emmenez-moi avec vous, Ô! Hommes !
Je voudrais vivre ou bien mourir comme les Hommes !
Je possède enfin un fusil!
Prévenez celui à qui je m’adresse pour ma cause que
Ma munition est devenue La cause !
Je possède enfin un fusil
Je suis désormais sur la liste des rebelles
Mon lit est fait de ronces et de poussière
Et la mort est mon revêtement
Je suis avec les rebelles, je suis des rebelles!
La Palestine n'est plus qu'à quelques mètres
Depuis que j’arbore mon fusil!
Ö ! Révoltés d'Al Qods,
De Galilée, de Bissen, d'Al Aghwar,
De Bethléem où que vous soyez !
Ö Hommes libres, en avant ! En avant !
Vers la Palestine : un seul chemin :
Il passe par le canon du fusil!
Vers la Palestine, un seul chemin !

World cheers as the CIA plunges Libya into chaos
Sunday, Feb 27, 2011
Axis of Logic Editorial Statement
The sudden demonization of Qadaffi in the corporate media and much of the alternative media is reminiscent of the demonization of Saddam Hussein, comparing him to Adolph Hitler, etc., preparatory to the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Whatever faults Hussein might have had, he led a far more progressive and civilized society than what Iraq has today. Fidel Castro and President Hugo Chavez are being maligned by the corporate/government media and much of the well-intentioned but naive alternative media as being indifferent to the people who have died in the Libyan crisis. But in fact, this is what Fidel stated about the Libyan crisis:
How was Libya doing under the rule of Gadaffi? How bad did the people have it? Were they oppressed as we now commonly accept as fact? Let us look at the facts for a moment.
Before the chaos erupted, Libya had a lower incarceration rate than the Czech republic. It ranked 61st. Libya had the lowest infant mortality rate of all of Africa. Libya had the highest life expectancy of all of Africa. Less than 5% of the population was undernourished. In response to the rising food prices around the world, the government of Libya abolished ALL taxes on food.
People in Libya were rich. Libya had the highest gross domestic product (GDP) at purchasing power parity (PPP) per capita of all of Africa. The government took care to ensure that everyone in the country shared in the wealth. Libya had the highest Human Development Index of any country on the continent. The wealth was distributed equally. In Libya, a lower percentage of people lived below the poverty line than in the Netherlands.
How does Libya get so rich? The answer is oil. The country has a lot of oil, and does not allow foreign corporations to steal the resources while the population starves, unlike countries like Nigeria, a country that is basically run by Shell.
Like any country, Libya suffers from a government with corrupt bureaucrats that try to gain a bigger portion of the pie at the cost of everyone else. In response to this, Kadaffi called for the oil revenue to be distributed directly to the people, because in his opinion, the government was failing the people. However, unlike the article claims, Kadaffi is not the president of Libya. In fact he holds no official position in the government. This is the big mistake that people make. They claim that Kadaffi rules over Libya when in fact he doesn't, his position is more or less ceremonial. He should be compared to a founding father.
The true leader of Libya is an indirectly elected prime-minister. The current prime-minister is Baghdadi Mahmudi. Calling Khadaffi the leader of Libya is comparable to calling Akihito the leader of Japan. Contrary to what your media is sketching, opinions in Libya vary. Some people support Gadaffi but want Mahmudi out. Others want both out. Many just want to live their life in peace. However, effort is taken to sketch the appearance of a popular revolt against the supposed leader of Libya, Gadaffi, when in fact he is just the architect of Libya's current political system, a mixture of pan-Arabism, socialism, and Islamic government.
Videos of Pro-Gaddafi protests are disappearing from Youtube as we speak. "Pro Gaddafi Anti Baghdadi Mahmudi demonstrations in" and "Pro Gaddafi protests in front of Libyan embassy London" are gone [i.e. stating "This video has been removed by user."]. [Moreover] Youtube deletes any video containing gore normally, except when it's from Libya. Apparently more traumatizing to it's viewers than chopped up bodies are Libyans who do not jump on the bandwagon and enter the streets to force Gadaffi out.
Are the protesters in Libya comparable to the protesters in Egypt and Tunisia? Not at all. The governments reaction is more violent, and obviously excessive violence is being used. However let us look for a moment at the actions of the protesters. The building of the the general people's congress, the parliament of Libya, was put on fire by angry protestors. This is comparable to protesters putting the United States Capitol on fire. Do you think that for even a moment the US government would sit idly by as protesters put the US capitol on fire?
The riots erupting now are not secular youth desiring change, or anything like we saw in Egypt and Tunisia. A group calling itself "Islamic Emirate of Barka", the former name of the North-Western part of Libya, has taken numerous hostages, and killed two policemen. This is not a recent development. On Friday, the 18th of February, the group stole 70 military vehicles after attacking a port and killing four soldiers. Unfortunately, a military colonel has joined the group and provided them with further weapons. The uprising started in the eastern city of Benghazi. The Italian foreign minister has raised his fears of an Islamic Emirate of B.enghazi declaring itself independent.
So where does this sudden uprising come from? The answer is that the same groups the US has been funding for decades are now taking their chance to gain control over the nation. A group recently arrested in Libya consisted of dozens of foreign nationals that were involved in numerous acts of looting and sabotage. The Libyan government could not rule out links to Israel.
Great Britain funded an Al Qaeda cell in Libya, in an attempt to assassinate Gadaffi. The main opposition group in Libya now is the National Front for the Salvation of Libya. This opposition group is being funded by Saudi Arabia, the CIA, and French Intelligence. This group unified itself with other opposition groups, to become the National Conference for the Libyan Opposition. It was this organization that called for the "Day of Rage" that plunged Libya into chaos on February 17 of this year.
It did this in Benghazi, a conservative city that has always been opposed to Gadaffi's rule. It should be noted that the National Front for the Salvation of Libya is well armed. In 1996 the group tried to unleash a revolution in the eastern part of Libya before. It used the Libyan National Army, the armed division of the NFSL to begin this failed uprising.
Why is the United States so opposed to Gadaffi? He is the main threat to US hegemony in Africa, because he attempts to unite the continent against the United States. This concept is called the United States of Africa. In fact, Gadaffi holds all sorts of ideas that are contrary to US interests. The man blames the United States government for the creation of HIV. He claims that Israel is behind the assassination of Martin Luther King and president John. F. Kennedy. He says that the 9/11 hijackers were trained in the US. He also urged Libyans to donate blood to Americans after 9/11. Khadaffi is also the last of a generation of moderate socialist pan-Arab revolutionaries that is still in power, after Nasser and Hussein have been eliminated, and Syria has aligned itself with Iran.
The United States and Israel however have no interest in a strong Arab world. In fact it seems that elementary to the plan is bringing Libya to its knees through chaos and anarchy. In late 2010, the United Kingdom was still propping up the Libyan government through lucrative arms sales. Nothing is a better guarantee to destroy Libya than a bloody civil war. The tribal system that is still strong in Libya is useful to exploit to generate such a war since Libya has historically been divided into various tribal groups.
This is also why the Libyan government responds by importing mercenaries. Tribal allegiances go before allegiance to the government, especially in Benghazi, and thus the central government has no control over the eastern part of the country anymore. The alternative to mercenaries is a conflict between the various ethnic groups. Gadaffi has tried for 41 years to make the country more homogeneous, but opposition groups funded by outside forced will take little more than a few days to put the country back into the 19th century, before the region was conquered and unified by Europeans. The violence is indeed excessive, but everyone seems to forget that the situation is not the same as in Tunis and Egypt. Tribal ties play a far greater role, and thus the conflict will unfortunately be bloodier.
Please remember at all times that the violent Libyan civil war unfolding now is not comparable to the revolutions seen in Tunisia and Egypt. Both of these revolutions involved peaceful protesters suffering from poverty, in opposition to their corrupt governments. The chaos in Libyan consists of a mixture of tribal conflicts, conflict over oil revenue (since most oil is in the east of the country), radical islamists opposed to Gadaffi's system of government, and outside destabilization by Western funded exile groups.
Gadaffi took control in a bloodless coup from a sick monarch away for medical treatment 41 years ago. His ideology is based on unification and he attempted to peacefully merge his country with Egypt and Syria. It would take a miracle for the violence unfolding now to lead to a single stable democratic government in Libya, with full control over the entire country. The country is more than twice the size of Pakistan, but with 6 million inhabitants. Endless deserts divide many of the cities in the nation. If anything we should ask ourselves how many more nations will be shattered into pieces in the coming months, as the world cheers.
PART II
If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... Al Qaeda.
How did Al Qaeda start? Al Qaeda grew out of the Afghan Arabs in Afghanistan that the CIA trained at Camp Peary. A Amongst these men were many Libyans. These Libyans who had fought in Afghanistan eventually created the Libyan Islamic Fighting group. As explained on Wikipedia and in my earlier report on Libya, they were funded by MI6 to assassinate Gadaffi in 1996.
Unlike the US that keeps you in prison forever without even receiving a trial, the Libyan government made the mistake of showing mercy. They released 90 members of the Libyan Islamic Fighting group in 2008.It gets weirder. On the day of the "Day of Rage", Libya had released 110 rehabilitated members of the Libyan Islamic Fighting group.These were men, part of an organization linked to Al Qaeda who plotted to overthrow the Libyan government.
As I explained earlier, the "Day of Rage" was called for by an organization that is funded by the CIA. Seems like a bit of incredible coincidence that the day of rage was planned to be on the same day that violent nutcases would be released who wanted to turn Libya into a second Afghanistan.
So, Gadaffi holds a speech and says that Al Qaeda is behind the uprising in his country. And we consider him to be a schizophrenic autistic nutcase of course. He says that he will fight until the end, and we consider him the next Hitler. He holds a speech to a massive group of people clothed in green, and we tell ourselves they were simply being bribed.
Make no mistake, the United States are using Al Qaeda to overthrow governments, yet again. As reported by CNN:
Of course it's not difficult to unleash riots in the Middle East. As long as people have entertainment and food, they're quiet and not much of a nuisance. Take away either, and you get an angry public. The global genocide through starvation unleashed over the working classes of the world is the result of food speculation in the US.
The Brzezinski clique currently in control of the United States has found a far more effective way of dealing with its enemies. Instead of directly fighting them, they create anger in these nations, and then use the people themselves to sow chaos. The first attempt in Iran failed. Now the US has chosen to create examples in vulnerable countries first, to help mobilize the people in less vulnerable nations.
It's the most genius solution to defeat your enemies with. Contrary to the neoconservative approach, the whole world now supports your operation. If the carnage gets excessive enough, people around the world will beg their own governments to intervene in these 3rd world nations. If you thought that after Iraq further military intervention in the Middle East had become impossible due to a lack of popular support, it seems you were wrong. The Brzezinski approach has opened up this possibility again.
Are the uranium bombs going to be used in Tripoli next? Is Tripoli going to be another Fallujah? Only time can tell. The world will probably praise Obama as Tripoli is contaminated for generations to come. In fact, getting rid of Gadaffi by turning Tripoli into another Fallujah could even ensure that Obama is reelected. (Light editing, photos and related comment added by Axis of Logic)

"The riots in Libya were inspired by the United States. Every hour an invasion by U.S. troops could be expected. US will send them to 'protect the Libyan people'. But in reality, they need only the Libyan oil."
And on February 25, Venezuelan Foreign Minister Nicolas Maduro also warned of a U.S. invasion of Libya followed by President Chavez' statement:
"Go Chancellor Nicholas: Give another lesson to the pitiyanqui far right! Viva Libya and its independence! Qaddafi is facing a civil war!!"
At Axis of Logic, we have been perceived as "Qaddafi lovers" because we publish some material like the article below. This is a superficial assessment of our position on Libya. We do our best to examine all information available to us regarding the crisis in Libya and withhold judgement in the midst of a fluid and dynamic time in Libyan history. The alternative media has been flooded with opinions by western "analysts" and writers about what is happening in Libya. Most have joined the corporate media's demonization and condemnation of Muammar Qaddafi for brutal repression of the Libyan people, likening him to Egypt's former dictator, Hosni Mubarak. David Rothscum offers an entirely different perspective and his in-depth investigation and report below deserves a careful and fair reading.

| Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi apologized to African leaders on behalf of Arab nations for their involvement in the African slave trade. “I regret the behavior of the Arabs… They brought African children to North Africa, they made them slaves, they sold them like animals, and they took them as slaves and traded them in a shameful way. I regret and I am ashamed when we remember these practices. I apologize for this,” Gaddafi said on Sunday at the Second Afro-Arab summit in Sirte, Libya, Reuters reported. - News Rescue, Press TV |

It did this in Benghazi, a conservative city that has always been opposed to Gadaffi's rule. It should be noted that the National Front for the Salvation of Libya is well armed. In 1996 the group tried to unleash a revolution in the eastern part of Libya before. It used the Libyan National Army, the armed division of the NFSL to begin this failed uprising.
Why is the United States so opposed to Gadaffi? He is the main threat to US hegemony in Africa, because he attempts to unite the continent against the United States. This concept is called the United States of Africa. In fact, Gadaffi holds all sorts of ideas that are contrary to US interests. The man blames the United States government for the creation of HIV. He claims that Israel is behind the assassination of Martin Luther King and president John. F. Kennedy. He says that the 9/11 hijackers were trained in the US. He also urged Libyans to donate blood to Americans after 9/11. Khadaffi is also the last of a generation of moderate socialist pan-Arab revolutionaries that is still in power, after Nasser and Hussein have been eliminated, and Syria has aligned itself with Iran.
The United States and Israel however have no interest in a strong Arab world. In fact it seems that elementary to the plan is bringing Libya to its knees through chaos and anarchy. In late 2010, the United Kingdom was still propping up the Libyan government through lucrative arms sales. Nothing is a better guarantee to destroy Libya than a bloody civil war. The tribal system that is still strong in Libya is useful to exploit to generate such a war since Libya has historically been divided into various tribal groups.
This is also why the Libyan government responds by importing mercenaries. Tribal allegiances go before allegiance to the government, especially in Benghazi, and thus the central government has no control over the eastern part of the country anymore. The alternative to mercenaries is a conflict between the various ethnic groups. Gadaffi has tried for 41 years to make the country more homogeneous, but opposition groups funded by outside forced will take little more than a few days to put the country back into the 19th century, before the region was conquered and unified by Europeans. The violence is indeed excessive, but everyone seems to forget that the situation is not the same as in Tunis and Egypt. Tribal ties play a far greater role, and thus the conflict will unfortunately be bloodier.
Please remember at all times that the violent Libyan civil war unfolding now is not comparable to the revolutions seen in Tunisia and Egypt. Both of these revolutions involved peaceful protesters suffering from poverty, in opposition to their corrupt governments. The chaos in Libyan consists of a mixture of tribal conflicts, conflict over oil revenue (since most oil is in the east of the country), radical islamists opposed to Gadaffi's system of government, and outside destabilization by Western funded exile groups.
Gadaffi took control in a bloodless coup from a sick monarch away for medical treatment 41 years ago. His ideology is based on unification and he attempted to peacefully merge his country with Egypt and Syria. It would take a miracle for the violence unfolding now to lead to a single stable democratic government in Libya, with full control over the entire country. The country is more than twice the size of Pakistan, but with 6 million inhabitants. Endless deserts divide many of the cities in the nation. If anything we should ask ourselves how many more nations will be shattered into pieces in the coming months, as the world cheers.
PART II
If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... Al Qaeda.
How did Al Qaeda start? Al Qaeda grew out of the Afghan Arabs in Afghanistan that the CIA trained at Camp Peary. A Amongst these men were many Libyans. These Libyans who had fought in Afghanistan eventually created the Libyan Islamic Fighting group. As explained on Wikipedia and in my earlier report on Libya, they were funded by MI6 to assassinate Gadaffi in 1996.
Unlike the US that keeps you in prison forever without even receiving a trial, the Libyan government made the mistake of showing mercy. They released 90 members of the Libyan Islamic Fighting group in 2008.It gets weirder. On the day of the "Day of Rage", Libya had released 110 rehabilitated members of the Libyan Islamic Fighting group.These were men, part of an organization linked to Al Qaeda who plotted to overthrow the Libyan government.
As I explained earlier, the "Day of Rage" was called for by an organization that is funded by the CIA. Seems like a bit of incredible coincidence that the day of rage was planned to be on the same day that violent nutcases would be released who wanted to turn Libya into a second Afghanistan.
So, Gadaffi holds a speech and says that Al Qaeda is behind the uprising in his country. And we consider him to be a schizophrenic autistic nutcase of course. He says that he will fight until the end, and we consider him the next Hitler. He holds a speech to a massive group of people clothed in green, and we tell ourselves they were simply being bribed.
Make no mistake, the United States are using Al Qaeda to overthrow governments, yet again. As reported by CNN:
"Al Qaeda's North African wing has said "it will do whatever we can to help" the uprising in Libya, according to a statement the militant group posted on jihadist websites. The statement by Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb was posted Thursday, said SITE, a terrorist-tracking organization based outside Washington.
[...]
In 2006, al Qaeda documents found by U.S. forces in Iraq showed that per capita, Libya surpassed other Arab nations in the number of citizens joining al Qaeda. The regime's fear was that the terror group would bring its fight back to Libya."
We saw the same thing in Kosovo, where Al Qaeda was being used to terrorize the Serbs. As reported by the National Post:
Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda terrorist network has been active in the Balkans for years, most recently helping Kosovo rebels battle for independence from Serbia with the financial and military backing of the United States and NATO.
The claim that al-Qaeda played a role in the Balkan wars of the 1990s came from an alleged FBI document former Yugoslav leader Slobodan Milosevic presented in his defence before the Hague tribunal last week. Mr. Milosevic faces 66 counts of war crimes and genocide.
Although Hague prosecutors have challenged the veracity of the document, which Mr. Milosevic identified as a Congressional statement from the FBI dated last December, Balkan experts say the presence of al-Qaeda militants in Kosovo and Bosnia is well documented.
Today, al-Qaeda members are helping the National Liberation Army, a rebel group in Macedonia, fight the Skopje government in a bid for independence, military analysts say. Last week, Michael Steiner, the United Nations administrator in Kosovo, warned of "importing the Afghan danger to Europe" because several cells trained and financed by al-Qaeda remain in the region.
The parallels are striking to what is happening in Libya, with veterans of the Afghan war against the Soviet Union popping up again, this time leading the charge against Gadaffi:
"Many members of the Kosovo Liberation Army were sent for training in terrorist camps in Afghanistan," said James Bissett, former Canadian ambassador to Yugoslavia and an expert on the Balkans. "Milosevic is right. There is no question of their participation in conflicts in the Balkans. It is very well documented."
The arrival in the Balkans of the so-called Afghan Arabs, who are from various Middle Eastern states and linked to al-Qaeda, began in 1992 soon after the war in Bosnia. According to Lenard Cohen, professor of political science at Simon Fraser University, mujahedeen fighters who travelled to Afghanistan to resist the Soviet occupation in the 1980s later "migrated to Bosnia hoping to assist their Islamic brethren in a struggle against Serbian [and for a time] Croatian forces."
Whatever way you want to put it, Libya is a thorn in the eye of our globalist elite. It has been claimed that there are 5 countries on the planet left without a Rothschild controlled central bank: Iran; North Korea; Sudan; Cuba; and Libya. I don't necessarily think you can boil the conflict down simply to having a Rothschild controlled central bank or not. However, considering the fact that by now, Sudan has split in two, Libya is under mob rule and South Korea is upping it's propaganda offensive against the North Korean government where demonstration are breaking out for the first time in the history of the nation, the list is at least a little unnerving.
It's important to note that Libya was in fact recently beginning to introduce Islamic banking to the nation. In Islam, usury is illegal. Banking families like the Rothschilds and the Warburgs of course derive all their wealth (except for the wealth they've simply stolen) from usury. Islam has the concept of Musharakah. It abolishes the idea of a fixed interest on a loan. Instead money is paid back only if the enterprise makes a profit. Seems like an excellent idea, regardless of your religious beliefs.
The US puppet president won't rule out military intervention in Libya. Big oil is watching a dream come true as oil production in Libya (where no foreign companies have a hand in oil production) plunges, and anxiety drives the price up even further. Ships are of course already in the area, and have been for a while. It's all incredibly convenient. Reuters has reported that Venezuela's foreign minister said it looked like some western powers wanted to break up and occupy the Mediterranean nation for its oil. Fidel Castro has said the same thing.
After invading you can then choose to leave the country in ruins with no oil production at all, or you can occupy the country and hand the oil to your buddies. Oil companies are predatory entities. In fact the United States overthrew the government of Iran for simply nationalizing the oil.
Egypt meanwhile isn't the slightest bit more free than it was under Mubarak. It has simply turned into a military dictatorship. The US simply replaced an old unruly puppet with a new one.

Of course it's not difficult to unleash riots in the Middle East. As long as people have entertainment and food, they're quiet and not much of a nuisance. Take away either, and you get an angry public. The global genocide through starvation unleashed over the working classes of the world is the result of food speculation in the US.
The Brzezinski clique currently in control of the United States has found a far more effective way of dealing with its enemies. Instead of directly fighting them, they create anger in these nations, and then use the people themselves to sow chaos. The first attempt in Iran failed. Now the US has chosen to create examples in vulnerable countries first, to help mobilize the people in less vulnerable nations.
It's the most genius solution to defeat your enemies with. Contrary to the neoconservative approach, the whole world now supports your operation. If the carnage gets excessive enough, people around the world will beg their own governments to intervene in these 3rd world nations. If you thought that after Iraq further military intervention in the Middle East had become impossible due to a lack of popular support, it seems you were wrong. The Brzezinski approach has opened up this possibility again.
Are the uranium bombs going to be used in Tripoli next? Is Tripoli going to be another Fallujah? Only time can tell. The world will probably praise Obama as Tripoli is contaminated for generations to come. In fact, getting rid of Gadaffi by turning Tripoli into another Fallujah could even ensure that Obama is reelected. (Light editing, photos and related comment added by Axis of Logic)

Appel à la démission d’Hakim El Karoui du poste de Président de l’Institut des Cultures d’Islam (ICI)
Hakim El Karoui, banquier chez Rothschild et Président de l’Institut des Cultures d’Islam nommé par le maire de Paris Bertrand Delanoë en mai 2010, a prodigué des conseils au dictateur Ben Ali, les jours précédant son départ, alors que le régime réprimait dans le sang les manifestations pacifiques de la révolution tunisienne.
Mediapart dans son dossier intitulé « L’ex-plume de Raffarin a conseillé Ben Ali jusqu’au bout » daté du 8 février 2011, s’est procuré deux notes signées de la main d’Hakim El Karoui et adressées à « Son Excellence Ben Ali ».
Le banquier, fondateur du très sélect cercle de jeunes dirigeants Club XXIe siècle, y prodigue quelques conseils pour gérer la crise, alors que le régime est en train de vivre ses derniers jours. La première est datée du 12 janvier. La seconde a été écrite le 14 au matin, quelques heures à peine avant la fuite du dictateur.
Le franco-tunisien El Karoui propose alors à Ben Ali de « changer profondément » son gouvernement et ses conseillers. Il lui propose de « donne(r) un signal clair et fort » en désavouant « ceux qui, se revendiquant de (son) entourage, sont à l’origine du sentiment d’injustice » – allusion au clan de son épouse, les Trabelsi, détestés par la population. Il lui conseille également d’« envoyer un message de compassion aux familles des victimes », et croit bon d’appuyer son propos en reprenant le discours sécuritaire du président : « Même s’il y a de la manipulation, même s’il y a des terroristes inflitrés (sic), vous êtes le Père de la Nation (en gras dans le texte) et le Père de la Nation doit être aux côtés de ses fils quand ils souffrent. » De plus, il joue de manière cynique sur la corde religieuse en conseillant à Ben Ali de mener « une prière à la Grande mosquée de Carthage, pour la Tunisie et pour ses fils. »
Hakim El Karoui, a voulu jouer le conseil du prince soutenant le régime dictatorial de Ben Ali dont le bilan des répressions s’élève à 219 morts. Les agissements de M. El Karoui sont contraires à notre vision de la morale et de l’éthique politique. Ses actes dénotent une compromission avec un pouvoir corrompu et violent, et trahissent la lutte exemplaire de la jeunesse tunisienne. Ils sont totalement incompatibles avec l’exercice de responsabilités au sein d’un Institut qui a vocation à permettre l’affirmation d’un Islam empreint des valeurs de dignité, d’éthique, de justice et de liberté.
· Pour toutes ces raisons, nous exigeons la démission d’Hakim El Karoui du poste de Président de l’ICI, ainsi que des excuses publiques au peuple tunisien pour son soutien au régime de Ben Ali.
· Nous réclamons du maire socialiste de Paris Bertrand Delanoë la nomination à la présidence de l’ICI d’une personne intègre et légitime pour favoriser la réflexion et l’échange, dans un esprit de modernité et d’ouverture.
Les personnes suivantes ont d’ores et déjà signé notre appel :
Mohamed Abbou, avocat tunisien détenu dans les geôles tunisienne sous la dictature de Ben Ali et défenseur des droits de l’homme,
Raphaël Liogier, directeur de l’Observatoire du religieux
Myriam Marzouki, metteur en scène, professeur de philosophie
Nahla Chahal, sociologue, professeur associé à l’université Saint-Esprit de Kaslik, à Beyrouth, et chroniqueuse au quotidien Al Hayat de Londres
Nadia Marzouki, Chercheuse en sciences politiques sur l’islam
Nous souhaitons vous voir aussi signer cet appel pour la démission d’Hakim El Karoui du poste de Président de l’Institut des Cultures d’Islam situé à Paris, établissement appartenant à la ville de Paris. Veuillez nous répondre pour acceptation sur l’adresse electronique :

Hakim El Karoui a conseillé Ben Ali jusqu’au bout
Hakim El Karoui
Mediapart s’est en effet procuré deux notes d’une page signées de la main d’Hakim El Karoui et adressées à«Son Excellence Ben Ali».
Le banquier, fondateur du très sélect cercle de jeunes dirigeants Club XXIe siècle, y prodigue quelques conseils pour gérer la crise, alors même que le régime est en train de vivre ces derniers jours. La première est datée du 12 janvier. La seconde a été écrite le 14 au matin, quelques heures à peine avant la fuite du dictateur.
Interrogé ce lundi, Hakim El Karoui a admis en être l’auteur, et a précisé en avoir écrit une troisième, où il dit avoir proposé la création d’un «revenu minimum pour lutter contre la pauvreté», et la «taxation des salaires élevés, de l’immobilier et des télécoms» pour résoudre la crise sociale.
«Mais je n’ai jamais travaillé avec Ben Ali, je ne l’ai jamais rencontré et n’ai pas été son conseiller», se défend le banquier. Il assure avoir simplement répondu à une sollicitation d’un de ses amis, l’homme d’affaires Marouane Mabrouk, patron d’Orange Tunisie (il en est propriétaire à 51%) et mari de Cyrine, une des filles du dictateur déchu.
El Karoui et Mabrouk, qui tente actuellement de se démarquer du régime alors que sa famille a prospéré depuis l’arrivée de Ben Ali au pouvoir, se connaissent fort bien: le banquier a construit, en 2010, l’accord financier entre Orange et la famille Mabrouk ayant abouti à la création d’Orange Tunisie, société dont El Karoui est d’ailleurs administrateur…

Pris de court par l’ampleur de la contestation, Ben Ali fait ce jour-là un premier geste et limoge son ministre de l’intérieur. Le soir même, rien n’y fait, les manifestations continuent, et au moins huit personnes sont tuées dans la banlieue de Tunis.
«Personne ne pensait que le changement serait aussi rapide»
Discours TV de Ben Ali, le 13 janvier. Le lendemain, il quitte le pays
El Karoui propose aussi un certain nombre de réformes politiques (changer la loi sur les associations, exfiltrer le porte-parole de la préside Ben Dhia, annoncer un remaniement etc.), et propose à Ben Ali de tenir une «conférence de presse en fin de journée».
Le despote a-t-il seulement lu ces conseils, transmis au Palais de Carthage par le couple Mabrouk? Difficile à savoir. En tout cas, il n’aura pas eu l’occasion de les mettre en pratique. Le 14, bravant la peur, des dizaines de milliers de personnes défilent à Tunis, jusqu’au ministère de l’intérieur. En milieu d’après-midi, Ben Ali annonce le limogeage de son gouvernement et la tenue d’élections législatives anticipées. Trois quarts d’heure plus tard, l’état d’urgence est déclaré. Dans la soirée, le premier ministre annonce la fuite de Ben Ali…
Aujourd’hui, Hakim El Karoui qui dit avoir «détesté» le régime de Tunis se défend: «C’est facile d’être lucide rétrospectivement, dit-il. Personne ne pensait alors que le changement serait aussi rapide. A ce moment là, j’étais à la fois dans l’angoisse du chaos, de la violence, à commencer par celle de Ben Ali, mais aussi dans l’espoir que les choses changent enfin. Je me suis dit, peut-être naïvement, qu’il y avait un très grand danger pour le pays. Mais je ne laisserai personne dire que j’ai soutenu Ben Ali. Si c’est un soutien, alors c’est un soutien au pays.»
Quelques jours après la destitution de Ben Ali, Hakim El Karoui prenait l’avion pour Tunis pour conseiller le chef du gouvernement de transition Mohamed Ghannouchi, premier ministre de Ben Ali depuis 1999.
