Breaking on CNN:

NATO is now targeting Moammar Gadhafi, a senior NATO official with operational knowledge of the Libya mission says.
 
What do they think they will get to replace that regime ? Nobody thought about that yet ?
 
that does not seem to be a worry or concern
amoungst the senior admin people right now...
 
Not trying to sound too alarmist, but I am deeply disturbed by some of the things I am learning about in regards to the conquest against Libya.

And as far as I can tell, Obama is a war criminal, and should be tried in a Libya military court. Along with others for sure, but he deserves to pay the price for lying to Americans who are free and have a right to know why we are going to war. He lied about the reasons there, he has killed innocent people, aided a group of extremists and thieves, polluted the all to valuable groundwater supply for the desert villages. This is a travesty, and I am ashamed of our government. The actions appropriated by our government do not represent how most people would feel about things if they knew the truth.

Obama needs to pull out ASAP. The only military action that should be authorized should be direct strikes on NATO HQ and offices.

I demand that those responsible are held responsible. I have sent emails to my representatives, but haven't gotten a response yet.

Hopefully NATO will get that psychopathic mass-murder Qaddafi.

Sic Semper Tyrannis.

You believe the NWO and Mass Media Lies. Neither Gadhafi, or any iother Libyan was responsible for Lockerbie. It was a CIA False-Flag Drug running incident.
Libyan Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, whowas framed by the CIA asguilty of the 1988 Lockerbie bombing, top left, is accompanied by Seif al-Islam el-Gadhafi,
son of the Libyan leader, upon his arrival at the airport in Tripoli on Aug. 20, 2009. “Megrahi promised in an interview with Britain’s Times newspaper published on
Saturday that he would present new evidence before he died exonerating him of the bombing.”
We read from Susan Lindauer:

Libya never sponsored any terrorism in the West, or in any part of the world.
BUT, the return to Libya in 2009 of the falsely convicted Lockerbie bomber Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, released from a Scottish jail on health grounds, angered Washington, because it might reveal another
of the U.S.'s great cover-ups and False-flag CIA Drug-running Operations.


Lockerbie Diary: Gadhaffi, Fall Guy For CIA Drug Running
By Susan Lindauer, Former U.S. Asset covering Iraq and Libya – Contributing Writer
March 4th, 2011

For years I was told the terrorist who placed the bomb on board Pan Am 103, known as the Lockerbie bombing, lives about 8 miles from my house, in Fairfax County, Virginia.

His life-time of privilege and protection, gratis of high flyers in U.S. Intelligence, has been a reward for silence on the CIA’s involvement in drug trafficking in Lebanon during the 1980s.

As sources go, I was more than a casual observer. From May 1995 until March 2003, I performed as a back channel to Tripoli and Baghdad, supervised by my CIA handler, Dr. Richard Fuisz, who claimed from day one to know the origins of the Lockerbie conspiracy and the identity of the terrorists. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4156/is_20000528/ai_n13949725/ He swore that no Libyan participated in the attack.

Armed with that assurance, our team started talks with Libya’s diplomats for the Lockerbie Trial, and I attended over 150 meetings at the Libyan Embassy in New York. After the hand over of Libya’s two accused men, our team engaged in a concerted fight to gain permission for Dr. Fuisz to give a deposition about his primary knowledge of the conspiracy, during the Lockerbie Trial. In a surprise twist, the U.S. Federal Judge in Alexandria, Virginia imposed a double seal on a crucial portion of Dr. Fuisz’s deposition. The double seal can only be opened by a Scottish Judge. In my opinion, that should be a priority, as testimony hidden by the double seal maps out the whole Lockerbie conspiracy. Most significantly, it identifies 11 terrorists involved in the attack. Dr. Fuisz’s testimony could put the whole matter to rest forever.
here’s good reason for my confidence. Much to my surprise, during the Lockerbie talks, Dr. Fuisz’s allegations of CIA opium running in Lebanon received unusual corroboration. One day, as I left the office of Senator Carol Moseley-Braun on my lunch break, an older spook caught up with me in front of the U.S. Supreme Court. From out of nowhere, he stepped in my path and invited me to lunch. With extraordinary candor, he debriefed me as to what motivated the CIA’s actions. I remember it as one battle-hardened old spook sharing the perils of fieldwork with a gung ho young Asset, anxious to get started on great adventures.

It was a morality tale for sure. According to him, the CIA infiltrated opium and heroin trafficking in Lebanon as part of a crisis operation to rescue AP reporter Terry Anderson and 11 other American and British hostages in Beirut, including CNN bureau chief Jeremy Levin and Anglican envoy Terry Waite. The hostage crisis was a legitimate CIA concern. The CIA Station Chief of Beirut, William Buckley, was also kidnapped by Islamic Jihad and brutally tortured to death, his body dumped in the street in front of CIA headquarters. The rescue was protracted and complicated by Lebanon’s Civil War—ultimately, Terry Anderson’s captivity lasted seven years. Many of the hostages suffered beatings, solitary confinement chained to the floor, and mock executions.

The older spook who refused to identify himself swore that the CIA considered it urgently necessary to try every possibility for recovering the hostages. The concept of infiltration into criminal networks cuts to the murky nature of intelligence itself. Drug enforcement frequently rely on the same strategies. Where the CIA went far wrong was in pocketing some of those heroin profits for itself along the way. The dirty little secret is that the CIA continued to take a percentage cut of opium and heroin production out of Lebanon well into the 1990s.

As for the hostage rescue itself, considering the operation took years to accomplish, it’s always been whispered that a corrupted CIA officer enjoying those opium profits might have swallowed reports on the hostages’ locations, or otherwise diverted his team in order to protect his narcotics income.

That appears to have become a serious fear at the time, among other U.S. officers jointly involved in the rescue.

In December 1988, infuriated Defense Intelligence agents issued a formal protest, exposing CIA complicity in Middle East heroin trafficking. When teams from both agencies got summoned back to Washington to attend an internal hearing, they boarded Pan Am 103. A wing of militant Hezbollah led by Ahmed Jibril, his nephew Abu Elias, Abu Talb and Abu Nidal took out both teams in order to protect their lucrative cartel.

Classified Defense Intelligence records show that Jibril and Talb had been toying with a conspiracy to bomb a U.S. airplane during the 1988 Christmas holidays anyway. They planned to bomb a U.S. airliner in revenge for the U.S.S. Vincennes, which shot down an Iranian commercial airliner loaded with Hajiis returning from Mecca in July, 1988. However the Defense Intelligence threat to expose their heroin network put the bombing plan into action. Islamic Jihad’s ability to discover actionable intelligence on the flight schedules would definitely confirm that somebody at CIA was operating as a double agent, keeping Islamic Jihad a step ahead of the rescue efforts.
That’s the dirty truth about Lockerbie. It ain’t nothing like you’ve been told.

Wait a darn moment—I anticipate your confusion. Libya got blamed for the Lockerbie attack. Daddy George Bush told us so! The United Nations imposed sanctions on Libya, demanding that Colonel Moammar Gadhaffi hand over two Libyans for trial. One of the two, Lameen Fhima got acquitted immediately. The other Abdelbasset Megrahi got convicted (on the most flimsy circumstantial evidence that overlooked endless contradictions). Libya paid $2.7 billion in damages—amounting to $10 million per family death— to make the U.N. sanctions go away, and expressed a sort of non-apology for the deaths—while never acknowledging its involvement in the conspiracy.

So Libya was innocent the whole time? In a word, yes.....
But the bottom line is that Libya had nothing to do with the bombing of Pan Am 103, which exploded over the town of Lockerbie, Scotland.

We should care about Lockerbie because of the serious problem that it exposed. Opium trafficking out of the Bekaa Valley provides a major source for global heroin production. In turn, the global pipeline of narco-dollars keep militant operations alive world-wide from the Middle East to Indonesia, Colombia, Burma and the Far East.

That’s something to fear. We don’t have to deploy soldiers to shut it down. With a little creativity, we could attack the bank accounts of these global heroin traffickers and cut off funds for the violence without damaging the local society through warfare. We could strike down two scourges—heroin and terrorism. And the U.S. would not require military action all over the planet to accomplish its goals. Thankfully, there are other ways.

n another ground breaking interview on The Intel Hub, former CIA Asset and 9/11 whistleblower Susan Lindauer discussed her visits to the Libyan Embassy in Washington this week, and revealed that she started talks for the Lockerbie Trial with Libya’s diplomats at the United Nations.

Lindauer dished on Gadhaffi, Libya’s vendetta culture and how tribalism might have inspired Gadhaffi’s recent desperate gamble for survival.

She also explains how the Lockerbie bombing was tied to the CIA’s involvement in heroin trafficking out of the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon during U.S. operations to rescue Terry Anderson and other hostages in Beirut.

Susan explains how infuriated Defense Intelligence agents became determined to expose CIA complicity in Middle East heroin trafficking, and how terrorists took out both teams to protect their lucrative cartel.

The Intel Hub
By Susan Lindauer, former U.S. Asset who covered Libya at the United Nations from 1995 to 2003
March 28th, 2011

Who are we kidding? The United States, Britain and NATO don’t care about bombing civilians to contain rebellion. Their militaries bomb civilians every day without mercy. They have destroyed most of the community infrastructure of Iraq and Afghanistan before turning their sights on Libya. So what’s really going on here?

According to the CIA, the following never happened…

Last October, US oil giants— Chevron and Occidental Petroleum— made a surprising decision to pull out of Libya, while China, Germany and Italy stayed on, signing major contracts with Gadhaffi’s government. As the U.S. Asset who started negotiations for the Lockerbie Trial with Libyan diplomats, I had close ties to Libya’s U.N. Mission from 1995 to 2003.

Given my long involvement in the Lockerbie saga, I have continued to enjoy special access to high level intelligence gossip on Libya.

Last summer that gossip got juicy!

About July, I started hearing that Gadhaffi was exerting heavy pressure on U.S. and British oil companies to cough up special fees and kick backs to cover the costs of Libya’s reimbursement to the families of Pan Am 103. Payment of damages for the Lockerbie bombing had been one of the chief conditions for ending U.N. sanctions on Libya that ran from 1992 until 2003. And of course the United Nations forced Gadhaffi to hand over two Libyan men for a special trial at The Hague, though everybody credible was fully conscious of Libya’s innocence in the Lockerbie affair. (Only ignorant politicians trying to score publicity points say otherwise.)

Knowing Gadhaffi as well as I do, I was convinced that he’d done it. He’d bided his time until he could extort compensation from U.S. oil companies. He’s a crafty bastard, extremely intelligent and canny. That’s exactly how he operates. And now he was taking his revenge. As expected, the U.S. was hopping mad about it. Gadhaffi wasn’t playing the game the way the Oil Bloodsuckers wanted.

The Vampire of our age—the Oil Industry—roams the earth, sucking the life out of every nation to feed its thirst for profits. Only when they got to Libya, Gadhaffi took on the role of a modern-day Robin Hood, who insisted on replenishing his people for the costs they’d suffered under U.N. sanctions.

Backing up a year earlier, in August 2009 the lone Libyan convicted of the Lockerbie bombing that killed 270 people, Abdelbasset Megrahi, won a compassionate release from Scottish prison. Ostensibly, the British government and Scottish Courts granted Megrahi’s request to die at home with dignity from advance stage cancer—in exchange for dropping a legal appeal packed with embarrassments for the European Courts.

The decision to free Megrahi followed shocking revelations of corruption at the special Court of The Hague that handled the Lockerbie Trial. Prosecution witnesses confessed to receiving payments of $4 million each from the United States, in exchange for testimony against Megrahi, a mind-blowing allegation of judicial corruption.

The Lockerbie conviction was full of holes to begin with. Anybody who knows anything about terrorism in the 1980s knows the CIA got mixed up in heroin trafficking out of the Bekaa Valley during the hostage crisis in Lebanon. The Lockerbie conspiracy had been a false flag operation to kill off a joint CIA and Defense Intelligence investigation into kick backs from Islamic Jihad, in exchange for protecting the heroin transit network.

According to my own CIA handler, Dr. Richard Fuisz, who’d been stationed in Lebanon and Syria at the time, the CIA had established a protected drug route from Lebanon to Europe and on to the United States. His statements support other sources that “Operation Corea” allowed Syrian drug dealers led by Monzer al-Kassar (also linked to Oliver North in the Iran-Contra scandal) to ship heroin to the U.S. ON Pan Am flights, in exchange for intelligence on the hostages’ whereabouts in Lebanon.

The CIA allegedly made sure that suitcases carrying heroin were not searched at customs. Nicknamed the “Godfather of Terror,” Al Kassar is now serving a prison sentence for conspiring with Colombian drug cartels to assassinate U.S. nationals.
Building up to Lockerbie, the Defense Intelligence team in Beirut, led by Maj. Charles Dennis McKee and Matthew Gannon, suspected that CIA infiltration of the heroin network might be prolonging the hostage crisis. If so, the consequence was severe. AP Reporter Terry Anderson got chained in a basement for 7 years, while 96 other high profile western hostages suffered beatings, mock executions and overall trauma. McKee’s team raised the alarms in Washington that a CIA double agent profiting from the narco-dollars might be warning the hostage takers whenever their dragnet closed in.

Washington sent a fact-finding team to Lebanon to gather evidence.

On the day it was blown out of the sky, Pan Am 103 was carrying that team of CIA and FBI investigators, the CIA’s Deputy Chief assigned to Beirut, and three Defense Intelligence officers, including McKee and Gannon, on their way to Washington to deliver a report on the CIA’s role in heroin trafficking, and the impact on terrorist financing and the hostage crisis. In short, everyone with direct knowledge of CIA kickbacks from heroin trafficking died on Pan Am 103. A suitcase packed with $500,000 worth of heroin was found in the wreckage. It belonged to investigators, as proof of the corruption.

The punch line was that the U.S. State Department issued an internal travel advisory, warning that government officials should get off that specific flight on that specific day, because Pan Am 103 was expected to get bombed. That’s right, folks! The U.S. had prior knowledge of the attack.

Unforgivably, nobody told Charles McKee or Matthew Gannon. But other military officials and diplomats got pulled off the flight—making room for a group of students from Syracuse University traveling stand by for the Christmas holidays.

It was a monstrous act! But condemning Megrahi to cover up the CIA’s role in heroin trafficking has struck many Lockerbie afficiandos as grossly unjust. Add the corruption of purchased testimony– $4 million a pop— and Megrahi’s life sentence struck a nerve of obscenity.

It struck Gadhaffi as grievously offensive, as well—The United Nations had forced Libya to fork over $2.7 billion in damages to the Lockerbie families, a rate of $10 million for every death. Once it became clear the U.S. paid two key witnesses $4 million each to commit perjury, spook gossip throughout the summer was rife that Gadhaffi had taken bold action to demand compensation from U.S. (and probably British) oil corporations operating in Libya. More than likely, Libya’s demands for kick backs and compensation extended to other European oil conglomerates as well—particularly France and Italy—who are now spearheading attacks on Libya.

I knew last summer there would be trouble. Payback would be a b—tch on both sides. You don’t lock an innocent man in prison for 10 years on bogus charges of terrorism, and expect forgiveness. The United States and Britain had behaved with remarkable selfishness. You’ve got to admit that Gadhaffi’s attempt to balance the scales of justice demonstrated a flair of righteous nationalism.

Alas, Gadhaffi was playing with fire, no matter how justified his complaint. You don’t strike a tyrant without expecting a tyrant to strike back.

And that’s exactly what’s happening today.

Don’t kid yourself. This is an oil war, and it smacks of imperialist double standards. Two articles by Prof. Chossudovsky at the Global Research Centre are must reading: “Operation Libya and the Battle for Oil: Redrawing the Map of Africa” and “Insurrection and Military Intervention: The US-NATO Attempted Coup d’Etat in Libya?”

There is simply no justification for U.S. or NATO action against Libya. The U.N. charter acknowledges the rights of sovereign nations to put down rebellions against their own governments. Moreover, many observers have commented that plans for military intervention appear to have been much more advanced than U.S. and European leaders want to admit.

For myself, I know in my gut that war planning started months before the democratization movement kicked off throughout the Arab world—a lucky cover for U.S. and European oil policy. Perhaps too lucky.

As Chossudovsky writes, “Hundreds of US, British and French military advisers arrived in Cyrenaica, Libya’s eastern breakaway province” on February 23 and 24— seven (7) days after the start of Gadhaffi’s domestic rebellion. “The advisers, including intelligence officers, were dropped from warships and missile boats at the coastal towns of Benghazi and Tobruk.” (DEBKAfile, US military advisers in Cyrenaica, Feb. 25, 2011) Special forces on the ground in Eastern Libya provided covert support to the rebels.” Eight British Special Forces commandos were arrested in the Benghazi region, while acting as military advisers to opposition forces, according to the Times of London.

We’re supposed to believe the United States, Britain and Europe planned, coordinated and executed a full military intervention in 7 short days— from the start of the Libyan rebellion in mid-February until military advisers appeared on the ground in Libya on February 23-24!

That’s strategically impossible.

Nothing can persuade me that Gadhaffi’s fate wasn’t decided months ago, when Chevron and Occidental Petroleum took their whining to Capitol Hill, complaining that Gadhaffi’s nationalism interfered with their oil profiteering. From that moment, military intervention was on the drawing board as surely as the Patriot Act got stuck in a drawer waiting for 9/11.

The message is simple: Challenge the oil corporations and your government and your people will pay the ultimate price: Give us your oil as cheaply as possible. Or die.

Don’t kid yourself. Nobody gives a damn about suffering in Libya or Iraq. You don’t bomb a village to save it. The U.S., Britain and NATO are the bullies of the neighborhood. The enforcers for Big Oil.

Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan have something in common. They have vast and extraordinary oil and mineral riches. As such, they are all victims of what I call the Vampire Wars. The Arab Princes get paid off, while the bloodsuckers pull the life blood out of the people. They’re scarcely able to survive in their own wealthy societies. The people and the domestic economy are kept alive to uphold the social order, but they are depleted of the nourishment of their own national wealth.

The democratization movements are sending a warning that I don’t think Big Oil, or their protectors in the U.S. and British governments understand or have figured out how to control. The Arab people are finished with this cycle of victimization. They’ve got their stakes out, and they’re starting to figure out how to strike into the heart of these Vampires, sucking the life blood out of their nations.

And woe to the wicked when they do! (END OF SUSAN LINDAUER'S TESTIMONY)




Qadhafi’s Angels: Four Pillars of the Libyan Leader’s Impenetrable Defense
Posted: 2011/06/17
From: Mathaba

Some of the secrets of the Libyan leaders invincibility are his visible and invisible Army of Angels

HeyU Quality Ads
Many are those wondering why Libya is not firing back at NATO, other than the occasional pot shot at helicopters, and waging a defensive fight on the ground against the “stray rats”, and why Muammar Qaddafi is not calling for retaliation and striking at the hearts of European capitals in response.

NATO themselves are wondering why they are still fighting after more than 90 days and having to plan for another 180, in an operation they thought would take only two.

Some of the answers lie in the universal defense forces of Muammar Qaddafi, which rest on 4 firm pillars: Warriors, Builders, Angels and Callers.

Warriors

Not one nation has come to the defence of Libya via any traditional method, neither by supplying military weapons, nor military soldiers. That is not to say there is any shortage of soldiers wishing to join the battle against NATO, but because Qaddafi does not need to give orders. Soldiers around the world are on stand by.

The Truth Warriors, know that “the pen is mightier than the sword”, and also that Truth is a most powerful weapon, which easily defeats falsehood.

For this reason, while NATO is using all manner of conventional and lethal physical weaponry, the defensive battle is being fought on the Internet, via Mathaba media.

As the world’s only jamahiri (masses) news network, Mathaba implements a novel form of news production and distribution, that scales on the basis of volunteers around the world, who embrace the concept of a people’s media.

The Mathaba News Agency is the No. 1 independent news agency out of 84 million independent news agencies according to Google, and is the tool of choice for Qadhafi’s Warriors.

Builders

Muammar Qadhafi’s own name “Mu’ammar” is Arabic for “One who builds up” — a Builder. He built the world’s first Jamahiriya, he built a foundation for worldwide peace, democracy and development, the (R)evolutionary Committees Movement, he built the African Union, he built the Great Man Made River, and more besides.

The Builders around the world are defending Muammar and making sure that his words, movement, and works take hold, with the spread of direct participatory democracy everywhere via the foundation of People’s Conferences.

In September this year, 8 World People’s Conferences on Crimes Against Humanity are slated to last for the entire month of September, one in each region of the world.

These Conferences will ensure that all those who have aided, abetted, perpetrated, encouraged, condoned, facilitated or allowed crimes of war, health, energy, drugs, media, environment, and other fields of life, to the detriment of mankind and future generations, will be held accountable.

The tool of choice for the Builders is http://www.greencharter.com with the powerful weapon of the Green Charter of Human Responsibilities.

Angels

With the second pillar built on the solid foundation of the first, Truth, the 3rd pillar – Qaddafi’s Angels – are those who defend the first two pillars by way of prayer, visualisation, positive thought, or by donating of their wealth to sustain, defend and support the Great Work of the Warriors and Builders and their Leadership.

The Angels do this by supporting, subscribing to or making financial contributions to ease the path of the Warriors and Builders during the transition from the collapse of exploitative societies to the building of the Universal Jamahiriya prophesied by The Green Book which heralds the Era of the Masses.

The Angels communicate sometimes by way of Mathaba Social Media networks and other times by thought or vision.

They are spontaneously gathering strength as a selfless and altruistic effort of those with good and pure hearts who feel called upon to rally around the Truth and it’s Servant, Muammar Qadhafi, Leader of the world (r)evolution, who resides in the hearts of millions.

Not one African village does not know of, speak of, and pray for, Africa’s King of Kings.

NATO is facing a resounding defeat brought about by the sacrifices, thoughts, prayers, and protection offered to the Leader of the Builders and Warriors, Muammar Al-Qadhafi.

Callers

The callers are those who spread the word so that every one shall have a chance to hear it and participate in defending it. They post simple links and messages such as http://www.greencharter.com around the internet, or from person to person, so that all have the downloadable collection of the Works of the Warriors and Builders, who are Sustained and Protected by the Angels.

In conclusion, every supporter of Muammar Qadhafi around the world, belongs to at least one of the Pillars of his invincible Universal Army and conducts their work accordingly, whether news editing, activism building, sustaining, or calling and promoting the words and works of the revolutionary leader. #http://www.greencharter.com

World Unites in Visualization, Prayers For Free Libya and Muammar al-Qadhafi
Posted: 2011/06/14
From: Mathaba
GadhafiislovedbyMillions.jpg


Collective visualization of peace in Libya and the Victory of the Libyan people and Muammar Al-Gaddafi, is taking place in a new era of spiritual defence

Spontaneously through the power of thought, hearts, bodies, minds and souls around the world have come together with a positive visualization initiative to bring
about Peace and Victory for the Libyan people and Muammar Qadhafi who is held in the hearts of millions worldwide.

A similar worldwide unity was displayed in 1986 when NATO attacked Libya and targeted the Qadhafi humble family home, killing his tiny baby daughter.
25 years later, in 2011, a now 3-month vicious attack again by NATO on Libya and targeting the Qadhafi home has killed his 3 baby grandchildren and youngest
son, and thousands of Libyans in the most unjustified and illegal aggression by the United States, France and Britain, along with other NATO allies from Europe and Qatar.

Never before has such worldwide unity among people of all faiths, races and ideologies, been been so manifest against a war with evil motives, under the amazing
pretence of protecting and against its perpetrators, nor so united in support of what many believe is the most benevolent world leader during the past century,
Muammar Qadhafi. His democratic movement and ideas have gained traction around the world, and he has become known and loved like never before.

Prayers, thought and visualization is being done by people around the world at exactly the same time each day at midnight and midday Libyan time, for 5 minutes
duration, in order to have a positive effect on protecting Muammar Qadhafi, bringing Peace to Libya, and a resounding defeat to NATO and its local ignoble allies.

It is well known and proven by scientific experiments that synchronous thought has great powers. During the Lebanon war, an experiment was conducted which
showed that no fighting, bombings or attacks took place during the times that the positive thoughts were concentrated.

At 24timezones.com readers can place their mouse over Libya on the map to find the current time there, and the following list gives the local times when it is midnight
or midday in Libya for selected countries and states around the world:

Location Libya 12:00 Noon

how is killing him related to the humanitarian mission?
was there even an attempt at a true humanitarian mission??

*Embarrassed to be an American...
agreed.
 
how is killing him related to the humanitarian mission?
Well, Apparently to the CIA/Mi6/CFR propaganda, Qaddafi was slaughtering his own Libyan people... When the western NATO countries orchestrated their Rebel insurgencies to attack Qaddafi and the state.

was there even an attempt at a true humanitarian mission??
About this Humanitarianism via dropping bombs and destroying the country, NATO has been now dropping "Leaflets" with pictures of armed Apache helicopters on them. They state, "Give Up Now... because if you see these helicopters flying, it's too late." What's a bit funny is the leaflets were dropped on the NATO backed Rebel forces, sending them into confusion and panic.

Simply amazing these western nations can't even get leaflet dropping right.

In other news...

US has funded 2 European companies to search out rebel hell/occupied land for surface to air missiles that may be lying around from a expedited retreat by Libyan National forces in this sea-saw battle of real estate. The companies are from England and Switzerland and yes, the American taxpayers are picking up this bill too.
 
from Alex JONES:

Informational website Infowars.com, owned the famous American TV presenter Alex Jones received disturbing reports from military personnel on the basis of Ft. Hood in Texas, confirming the presence of U.S. plans to begin full-scale ground operation in Libya. Presumably the invasion to begin in October this year, after the deployment of troops in the region.
The source said that more special forces will go to Libya in July, and the first division Calvary (heavy machinery) and the 3rd Corps rapid deployment of land in late October - early November. Initial troop level is estimated at 12 thousand soldiers and 15 thousand employees of logistics, that is, a total of nearly 30 thousand troops.
This information is confirmed by numerous phone calls and emails from other soldiers, some of whom argue that the troop deployment will begin in September. According to these sources the operation will be supported by the British SAS. Also, there is evidence that the U.S. military assault of sabotage and reconnaissance units are already in Libya. Messages vary in detail, but in general the overall picture is pretty clear: as Qaddafi continues to shy away from trying to remove him from power, the fall will be a full-scale war.
A informant, identified in reports as a "specialist H" morgue worker at U.S. Central Command, said that Americans already have a loss in Libya. He said that at least two soldiers and three civilians were killed by gunshot wounds, as reported by the media yet.
The fact that Libya is preparing a full-scale war, the fifth, in addition to four already ongoing at the same time in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Yemen, "Alex Canal" also told the geo-political analyst Webster Tarpley doctor. The desire to spin as much as possible the spread of regional conflicts could well trigger World War III, which will also cover Syria, Lebanon, Iran and even Saudi Arabia, said Tarpley.
Meanwhile, Obama refuses to report to Congress regarding the continuation of hostilities after the allowed 60-day period, "the president of law." First he promised to finish all in a matter of days, and now calls the events "Kinetic" and not war. In this case it is justified by the fact that is subject to a UN mandate.
And on Saturday, June 18, it became known that Obama has decided to continue military operations in Libya, even if he fails to get Congressional approval, and despite the fact that the Pentagon lawyers and advisers were opposed to this plan.

Washington Could Invade Libya in October Posted: 2011/06/17
From: Mathaba


The information was confirmed by several calls and e-mails shared by military personnel, some of which indicate a large-scale deployment of troops in September

Several sources at the US army Fort Hood, Texas have been sending signals about a possible large-scale US land attack on Libya next October. The military information refers to additional Special Forces heading for the African country in July.

The possible transfer of army units to Libya would include the 1st Cavalry Division and other forces that would be in that country in late October and early November. The initial number of troops has been calculated at 12 000 active forces supported by another 15 000, some 30 000 troops in all.

The information was confirmed by several calls and e-mails shared by military personnel, some of which indicate a large-scale deployment of troops in September, South media outlets reported.

Some of the sources include an officer with the British Special Air Service, who confirmed that US rangers are already in Libya. This information, which could have contradictory details, also sparks the idea of a war that could be unleashed next fall, while Gaddafi continues to evade US attempts to get him out of power.

A person, who identified himself as “the H specialist” and who works at the mortuary under USCENTCOM, said that some US casualties have occurred in Libya. He confirmed that at least two soldiers and three civilians had been killed in combat, something that has not been reported by the media.

Geopolitical expert Doctor Webster Tarpley also said in an interview with radio journalist Alex Jones that a larger war is being planned for Libya, while the US-led simultaneous conflicts are now five: Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya and Yemen. The existing potential for an expansion of this regional conflict could lead to the scenario of a Third World War, including other nations like Syria, Lebanon, Iran and as far as Saudi Arabia, according to Tarpley.

Meanwhile, President Barack Obama has rejected demands that he respond to Congress for the continuity of the military action in Libya beyond the 60-day limit established by the War Powers Act. Obama had first said that the war would be finish in a few days, and he described the attack as a dynamic action instead of a war.

Obama has also justified his responsibility on the US armed forces under a UN mandate, which is indifferent due to its own adoption with the will of the US Congress. With some kind of significant secret in the reports, we could confirm the apparent decision by Obama to support a larger war and a long-term US presence in Libya. #http://www.mathaba.net/news/libya

When the international alliance does it, that means it is not illegal... :confused:

On June 15, 10 congressional members (3 Democrats, 7 Republicans) sued Obama in the US District of Columbia District Court for unilaterally waging war on Libya.
by Stephen Lendman
Calling for “Injunctive and Declaratory Relief,” the complaint said in part:

…All Washington’s wars are illegal. International law permits them only in self-defense. Constitutional law only lets Congress, not the president, declare or wage them overtly, covertly or any other way for any reason unless America was attacked….Moreover, so-called “humanitarian intervention” is modern-day colonialism dressed up in rhetorical mumbo jumbo to justify aggression. As a result, when America intervenes, it’s for policy goals, not human rights, civil liberties, democratic values, or humanitarian priorities, presidents and lawmakers don’t give a damn about and never did, abroad or at home.

…Moreover, claiming War Powers Resolution authority is a red herring. It applies only to legal wars in self-defense as defined under international and constitutional laws. No exceptions apply. Presidents can’t subvert them. Congress can hold them accountable by cutting off funding and impeachment for usurping illegal executive supremacy.

In fact, failure to do so violates the Constitution’s Article VI, Clause 3 Oath of Office provision. The first Congress instituted a binding pledge, stating:

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support the Constitution of the United States.”

In April 1861, Lincoln expanded it to include all federal civilian employees. In 1884, the modern version was enacted, stating:

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.”

Virtually all congressional members violate constitutional law, governing contrary to this oath, rendering it null and void, thus making them complicit in presidential crimes, their rhetorical posturing notwithstanding.

….This measure challenges “Defendant Barack Obama, President of the United States, (for) go(ing) to war in Libya and other countries without the declaration of war from Congress required by Article I, Section, 8, Clause 11 of the US Constitution.”

It further challenges his violation of the War Powers Resolution, requiring congressional authorization, as well as “commit(ting) the United States to a war under the authority of (NATO) in violation of the express condition of the North Atlantic Treaty ratified by Congress.”

In fact, rhetorical posturing, toothless congressional measures and ineffective lawsuits aside, most members of Congress support wars by passing defense authorization bills and supplemental appropriations with comfortable margins.

In addition, since WW II, they never challenged presidential war making authority without congressional approval, as well as for failing to follow international and constitutional law. Nor have they demanded domestic accountability for fundamental democratic rights they, in fact, also spurn with impunity.

Instead they support imperial wars and corporate privilege for their own self-interest. As a result, they benefit greatly at the public’s expense, especially during hard times when federal aid more than ever is needed, not austerity cuts leaving millions on their own sink or swim.

A Final Comment

America’s media wholeheartedly support US imperial wars, no matter how lawless, mindless, destructive and counterproductive. In fact, they revel in them, cheerleading daily slaughter, mostly affecting non-combatant men, women and children, defenseless against American-led terror bombing.

In Libya, for example, non-military targets are struck, including ports, schools, hospitals, houses, civilian infrastructure, a university, a Brega peace conference killing 16 imams and wounding dozens, Gaddafi’s personal compound to kill him, instead murdering his son and three grandchildren, as well as daily attacks killing and injuring hundreds of Libyans.

Nonetheless, a June 16 New York Times editorial wants more, headlined “Libya and the War Powers Act,” saying:

“It would be hugely costly – for this country’s credibility, for the future of NATO and for the people of Libya – if Congress were to force (Obama) to abandon military operations over Libya.”

The Pentagon planned, leads, and directs the war for an estimated $1.1 billion through September, yet The Times calls America’s involvement “limited,” adding:

“We support the Libya campaign….(W)e have no doubt that if NATO had not intervened, thousands more Libyan civilians would have been slaughtered.”

In fact, clear evidence shows America and other Western powers recruited, funded, armed, and support Libyan mercenaries to help oust Gaddafi’s regime. Moreover, no humanitarian crisis existed until NATO intervened.

Nonetheless, The Times said, ending America’s involvement would cause NATO’s campaign to “unravel.” As a result, “relations with Europe and the unity of the military alliance (would be enormously harmed), likely felt all the way to Afghanistan,” another illegal war The Times supports, urging Obama to fight on, adding:

“Congress….needs to authorize continued American support for NATO’s air campaign over Libya,” no matter the body count it causes. America’s entire corporate media establishment agrees.

it goes deeper than this. every officer in the united states armed forces who has or continues to go along with these nebulous wars is violating the constitution. there's an interesting (and very deeply saddening) debate going on at a military forum (well it was going on until a mod locked the thread so people could "cool off"-- interesting) on the duty of an officer to deny an unconstitutional order by upholding their oath to the constitution.

how hard can that be? well, when nobody, or very few, do it-- very hard. especially when a lot of "operators" (non-clerk-- "front line" warfighters) are hell-bent on destroying anything they are told to (especially brown people) because violence brings them a sense of self-worth. and, of course, that violence is perceived as patriotism.

here's the thread if anyone is interested. funny thing: it started with the discussion of the cops shooting the marine in AZ 60 times. hxxp://www.flyingsquadron.com/forums/index.php?/topic/18253-the-constitution-debate/

good luck having a rational conversation about the constitution with military officers, by the way. it is a rarity. and quite concerning due to the fact that their number one "job" is to uphold the Constitution. :mad::mad::(
 
Question, Is the soldier's duty first to the Constitution, or is it to "The Commander-in-Chief" ? How many young men want to go through what Gary Manning has in being tortured?
 
Gadhafi, to the chagrin of most Americans, is not a violent man; rather he is a man of peace. He does not export alcohol or drugs or weapons:
