Devastation in Aleppo
This is an expose of what is really happening in the
Middle-East and North Africa. Some of this might actually open your eyes to
what our country is doing in the rest of the World in the name of "Democracy".
When the Arab Spring started, the United States was
unprepared for the consequences. First in Tunisia, the Arab spring swept into
Algeria and Egypt. By the time it was rife in Egypt and the government of Mubarak
was about to fall, the United States and its Western allies formulated a plan
to hijack the Arab Spring.
In concert with most of NATO, Oman, Qatar and the
UAE and Turkey, the United States brought foreign fighters into Libya. These
fighters were not Libyan; they were Salafis, and mercenaries and other fighters
that had spent time in the Jihad in Afghanistan. The small Democracy movement
in Libya morphed in a well-trained, Western equipped fighting machine.
During the so-called "Revolution" in Libya, the
Western backed foreign fighters in Libya met their match in the Libyan Army and
Air Force, completely loyal to Gadhafi. The foreign "rebels" and mercenaries
were getting severely beaten by those forces. They had no protection against
air attacks and the Libyan tanks were tearing them up.
First of all, before I go on, how did you ever think
that a small group of protesters that were calling for a more Democratic Libya
could suddenly morph into a powerful Army that could defeat the best equipped
military machine in Northern Africa? Ponder that.
Then the U.S. and NATO (the ones that usurped the
small band of protesters), had the
Provisional Government come in, led by a small Deli owner from Virginia that
had left Libya over 20 years ago. Even though the US kept this simple fact
down, it is important for Americans to know that Libya wasn't just a small oil
producer that produced light sweet crude that was easily refined, it was the 18th
largest oil producer in the World.
Most of this oil was being bought by China in Yuan
or in Gold. The Libyan government took any kind of payment unlike Saudi Arabia
that signed an agreement with the US that all oil dealings would be paid in
Petro Dollars and that the money earned would be funneled back into the US via
Treasury bonds and US investments. Gadhafi wanted no part of that, he was quietly
happy to take any currency. This infuriated Washington that they weren't dealing in Dollars, the World's Reserve currency. This, by the way, was something
that Saddam Hussein started to do before Iraq was invaded.
Back to the "Revolution" in Libya, now that the "Revolutionaries"
were stymied, NATO was in a quandary. Their attempt to overthrow Gadhafi was disintegrating.
A novel idea was proposed, put in a No-Fly zone which in reality meant air
support for the rebels. Now Gadhafi couldn't put his planes in the air, lest
they be shot down by the superior NATO warplanes. His tanks were getting pummeled
as well. This was an all-out air war against the Libyan Air Force and Army. It
worked. The No-Fly zone was touted to the American citizens as a "humanitarian
mission" with no consent from Congress, only an Executive order in violation of
Article 1, Section 8 of The United States Constitution that requires consent of
Congress in order to wage War. No such authorization was given. The President
callously disregarded the law of the land and the US and NATO Air Forces
devastated The Libyan Air Force and Army.
Dennis Kucinich made a motion
in Congress to stop the air war but he was disregarded
by a complacent Congress.
Now the insurgents had free reign to go after Gadhafi.
The continuity of government quickly broke down as its infrastructure was being
devastated from the air. The insurgents captured Benghazi and headed to
Tripoli. They were mired down halfway to Tripoli in enormous battles with the
Libyan Army still loyal to their country and government. The fighting was
fierce and lasted for months. The Libyan Army fiercely tried to defend Tripoli.
The devastated Army with no Air Force support or heavy armor that was being
blasted from the sky was slowly pushed towards Tripoli.
Eventually Tripoli fell. Soldiers loyal to the
Libyan leader still refused to give up .
The Western Press reported that the NTC had been set up and an interim
government had been set up in Tripoli even though there were still loyalist
forces resisting in Tripoli. In fact, the Western Press made the take-over by
mercenaries, Salafi jihadists, and help from MI-6 and U.S. Army Intelligence
along with material help from Qatar, Saudi Arabia and other Arab States look
like a Libyan insurrection.
Muammar Gadhafi was eventually found, reportedly
suffering wounds as the result of an air attack. He was beaten and suffered having
a machete shoved up his rectum; all while being videotaped by his captors. He
died from his treatment instead of being tried in the International Crimes
Commission. Hillary Clinton swiftly arrived and gave his eulogy: "We Came, We
saw and he died".
