TEXT:
As the news of murder of Libya’s revolutionary leader, Chairman of the African Union and defender of Africa from European neocolonial murderous exploitation was still fresh, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton shared a laugh with a television news reporter moments after hearing the Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi had been killed.
“We came, we saw, he died,” she joked when told of news reports of Qaddafi’s death by an aide in between formal interviews.”
Clinton was in Tripoli earlier that week for talks with leaders of Libya’s National Transitional Council (NTC).
The reporter asked if Qaddafi’s death had anything to do with her surprise visit to show support for the Libyan people.
“No,” she replied, before rolling her eyes and saying “I’m sure it did” with a chuckle.
[CBS News October 20, 2011http://www.cbsnews.com/news/clinton-on-qaddafi-we-came-we-saw-he-died/]
Just four months earlier, as British and French warplanes and warships destroyed Libya’s defense force and militias, and hunted its leader, a near million Libyans had wildly demonstrated on the outskirts of Tripoli for their hero Gadaffi and their Green Book Arab socialist and wealthy nation. The massive rallies of nearly a million within a total Libyan population of a little over six million, expressed the Libyan people’s firm opposition to US led NATO’s ‘humanitarian intervention’ to such an astounding degree that Libya’s well educated personable spokesperson Seif Gadaffi seemed happily convinced that the NATO attack would have to end in the face of such huge demonstrations against it.
Your author shall never forget seeing on a European news site, an overjoyed Saif Gaddafi elated, smiling happily, trilled, relieved, convinced that the nightmare was over because a million, or more Libyans in a total population of little more than six, were wildly demonstrating with green flags for Gaddafi and their Jamahiriva or green book government on the outskirts of Tripoli even as NATO warplanes bombed within earshot. His elation was contagious, and for a moment or two I too naively thought yes, they would have to stop bombing for this overwhelming evidence that it was wrong.
Then I remembered the incredible seeming omniscient ability of Western media to blackout news. Of course, with world opinion always in it craw, ‘mainstream media’ simply never reported these massive demonstrations for Gaddafi and against the US NATO UN sponsored continuous bombing then already at this juncture three and half months long. Non-Western media covering the demonstrations did note that the bombings of Tripoli “had declined since the rise of the marches in Tripoli with a shift to increased bombing of other parts of Libya.”

The large majority of the population was not fooled by the Benghazi-based Transitional Council (made up of Western banking friends, al-Qaeda members funded by Western intelligence and Libyan ‘rebels’). It was so bloody obvious to even modestly knowledgeable people abroad that Libya’s former genocidal colonial masters the British and the French led by the US were simply reconquering their former colony rich with oil. The rallies indicating overwhelming popular support for Colonel Qaddafi in contrast to the usual stereotypical descriptions in the Western media, simply remain even today unreported by neocolonial wars promoting Western media. The mainstream media of European allies either casually dismissed the significance of these public gatherings directed against NATO intervention or has failed to even report them. Just so has US media blacked out all mention of Martin Luther King’s world shaking 1943 New York sermon Beyond Vietnam – a Time to Break Silence [http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/mlkatimetobreaksilence.htm] for seventy-three years. April 4,1943, every newspaper outside the US had large type bold headlines reading ‘King Calls US the Greatest Purveyor of Violence in the World.’ King nailed his government for “atrocity wars and covert violence on three continents since 1945 meant to maintain US predatory investments.” and held all Americans including himself responsible for “refusing to give up the privileges and the pleasures that comes from the immense profits of overseas investments.” But ask around among young people in the US, and one gets a blank look and a ‘never heard of it.’
Neither would conglomerate US media ever report that only one month BEFORE Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s gloating and bragging as having had a hand in Gadaffi’s (brutal) death, long term Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi had made an abject belated public confession, speaking before Italian reporters regarding huge Italian protests against NATO’s war on Libya and its current relentless terror bombing during a strike for better work conditions in Rome in which the cry of union members was, “There is a silent massacre going on in Libya!” and “Don’t let Sirte, Bani Walid and Sebha become the new Fallujah or the new Guernica”. Berlusconi, also known to own ninety percent of Italian media, confessed as follows: “Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi hasn’t been the victim of a popular uprising. That is the conviction of Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, who has been a friend of Gaddafi till Italy became one of the leading countries behind NATO’s war against Libya in March.
“This has nothing to do with a popular uprising. The Libyan people love Gaddafi, as I was able to see when I went to Libya”, Berlusconi said on Friday during a party meeting in Rome.
He said he suspects there was a plot against Gaddafi.
“Powerful people decided to give life to a new era by trying to oust Gaddafi,” Berlusconi said, according to Italian news agency ANSA.
In July Berlusconi already said he was against NATO intervention in Libya but “had to go along with it”, therewith exposing the fragility of the alliance trying to murder Gaddafi.
He added: “What choice did I have considering America’s pressure, President Georgio Napolitano’s stance, and the Parliament’s decision?” [Berlusconi says Libyans love Qaddafi: as Italians protest against NATO, Voltairenet.org http://www.voltairenet.org/article171382.html]
Let the reader look at a peaceful and prosperous Libya, just five weeks before the US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was urging the UN Security Council vote to bomb it, to the first week of February 2011, when the UN Quality of Life Index of 2010 had Libya ranked the 53rd highest nation, ahead of nine European nations (including Russia), a beautiful well kept Arab Socialist country, where everyone owned their own home, enjoyed free and modern health care, free good education up through PhD, a low infant mortality, the cheapest imaginable gasoline for cars – everyone was by law free from exploitation as even all wage labor was strictly forbidden in the Libyan constitution of a real decentralized democracy in which everyone participated at the local assemblies level where all issues of state concern were discussed before sending delegates to the central assembly of government in Tripoli. Political parties, or gangs of foreign backed profession politicians, were illegal.
In Gaddafi’s Libya was Africa’s Most Prosperous Democracy, Zimbabwean Garikai Chengu a fellow at the Du Bois Institute for African Research at Harvard University, writes, “Contrary to popular belief, Libya, which western media described as “Gaddafi’s military dictatorship”, was in actual fact one of the world’s most democratic States,” and describes this in detail. “Even the New York Times, which was always highly critical of Colonel Gaddafi, conceded that in Libya, the intention was that “everyone is involved in every decision.” Tens of thousands of people take part in local committee meetings to discuss issues and vote on everything from foreign treaties to building schools.”
CNN, NY Times et al. have never reported that Libya, as opposed to desperately poor Egypt and Yemen had been enjoying a higher standard of living than nine European nations including Russia. Rather, they continued emphasizing Western media concocted misnomer ‘Arab Spring’ and long term condemnation of Gaddafi over his entire four decades of leadership of Libya and funding the movement for African Union as it Chairman.
For almost as long as Cuba’s Fidel Castro, Gaddafi had been slandered in the world’s monolithic corporate powerful daily news media by innuendo and lies denigrating Gaddafi ever since 1969, when he led the bloodless revolution that replaced a British imposed King with a solid Arab socialist government. Using revenue from the oil that had been previously stolen by Britten and France, Gaddafi brought ht Libya up from the poorest to the most prosperous nation in Africa, and was building the largest Aquifer ever created. A great underground river was bringing water to Benghazi and greening the desert.
Gaddafi had revived Nkruma’s African Union and was funding organizations that were fighting against the genocidal machinations of continuing European exploitation of Africa through financing tribal strife as the colonial powers have always done. Gaddafi was blocking US military’s AFRICON penetration in North Africa. Highly dangerous for the US and European establishment, Libya had begun minting part of the 44 billion US$ in gold held in Libya’s State Bank, threatening the US dollar as world currency.
Gaddafi, whose position officially was Defender of the Revolution, had made himself a greater target of assassination and vilification than Fidel Castro was for the speculative investors in neocolonial plundering who dominate the planet. In addition, Gaddafi, by his recent apology to African leaders on behalf of Arab nations for past Arab involvement in the African slave trade had infuriated extremists in neighboring Arab nations tightly allied with, and serving the foreign policy of Western powers.
Controlled media ridiculed Gaddafi, when he spoke as Chairman of the African Union in his 2009 address to the UN General Assembly. Gaddafi was the first and only delegate to ever to call for investigation of the UN itself for its role in the horrific loss of lives in Palestine and Korea. He demanded that besides those in Vietnam, Iraq, and that all bombings, invasions and occupations by US NATO forces must be investigated to seek justice and compensation for victims and survivors. Gaddafi bitterly explained the UN Charter’s provisions were all negated by the domination of a “Council of Terror” (Security Council) controlled by the Colonial Powers. No one else had, or has since, addressed the UN General Assembly asking that international law be brought to bear for the purpose of that just compensation, which3 would surely make investment in profitable crimes against humanity unprofitable and thus inoperable.
After forty years of building up Gaddafi as a villain and hateful brutal dictator worth assassination even at the cost of a hundred innocent Libyans as in President Reagan’s ordered criminal 1988 airstrike, an abysmally uneducated and diseducated American public and its propagandized allied citizens in Europe, were ready to believe whatever infantile lies US criminal media drummed up.
America’s CIA fed war establishment media had had little difficulty getting public opinion to accept their pinning the bombing of a Pan Am passenger plane on him. The world satellite audience of a CNN-New York Times led media cartel would never question the absurdity that a successful leader of a revolution that had saved tens of thousand of lives in bringing his once colonially impoverished people to have the best living standard in Africa, could have possibly have had an motive to order the mass murder of a plane load of innocent human beings. Gadaffi, in an unfortunate rush to see lifted the sanctions unjustly put Libyan oil for an unproven accusation, showed an amazing willingness to trust a Western court in an setup arena. The trial, according to the most highly placed legal authorities observing, was a travesty of justice. See [The case remains unsolved, as the man convicted died before his second appeal came up. See US News & World Report 1/2/2009 The Lockerbie Case by Nathan Thrall lockerbiecase.blogspot.com]
Though the 2008 Humanitarian U.S.-Libya Comprehensive Claims Settlement Agreement contributed to by American companies in Libya, unequivocally stated that “this agreement is being pursued on a purely humanitarian basis and does not constitute an admission of fault by either party,” Western media easily brought most viewers around the world to believe to the contrary that Gaddafi had admitted bombing the plane.
Since the end of the unbelievably profitable for Wall Street Second World War, tens of millions of innocent children, women and men have died right in their own beloved countries during US prosecutable regime change wars from Greece, Korea, Iran, Vietnam, Laos, Guatemala, Congo, Cambodia, Dominican Republic, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Lebanon, Cuba, Panama, Somalia, Grenada, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Yemen and Syria, and the US has gotten away with it so far. All these tens of millions died so investors in the illegal and genocidal use of US Armed Forces, CIA, sanctions and US media could make money from wars that at the same time brought the investors increased financial hegemony and more opportunity for capital and power acquisition. Now presidential expected-to-be Secretary Hillary Clinton warns the world about Russia and China.
Do people remember that when this Presidential election campaign was getting under way, the genocidal media cartel justifying every one of past US wars, was preparing the public for an inevitable conflict with Russia and China? The independent journalists were all writing doomsday warnings of a coming a third world war.
Presidential expectant Hillary Clinton, as US Secretary of State, oversaw US wars for regime change that continue to destroy six countries, Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria and Yemen. Someone should ask her to explain the new white Toyota trucks and endless supply of weapons coming to ISIS and other terrorist groups made up of veterans of US wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, who have been destroying America’s designated enemies, namely, President Assad’s Syria and Shiite wherever they are;[1] explain how the most powerful military in the history of the world in five years cannot take out a ragtag force of some twenty-five to thirty thousand (CIA 2014 estimate), who just happen to be conveniently fighting successfully on the US side, making the encouraging of a whole lot of false flag terror attacks on Westerners necessary to ‘prove’ otherwise.[2]
A whole series of appointed US officials before Hillary Clinton have for decades have used Islamic terror starting with PresidentAdvisor Brzezinski[3] having Carter fund, arm and train rural warlords to creating a civil war against a very popular women’s liberating socialist government in Kabul, thereafter bragging of having set a trap to sucker in the Soviets by subsequently inviting in Wahabi sect Arabs like Osama bin Laden into someone else’s Afghanistan. [4]
Wars promoting media has been making a blatant over the top show of frightened opposition to candidate Hillary Clinton’s Republican Party nominee, ridiculing him, stigmatizing him and carefully avoiding coverage of his maintaining, among other things, that Clinton as Secretary of State has brought “death and destruction overseas”; that “the five trillion dollars spent on wars for regime change in the Middle East should have been spent in the US rebuilding its infrastructure;” that NATO is obsolete; that the US should seek friendship with China and Russia; that he likes Xi Jinping and Putin, (America’s perennial and sacrosanct mortal enemies!) and would get along fine with them. Trump has called the last two term Republican President, George Bush, a liar for having lied about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction and has voiced suspicion about the 9/11 attack that happened so easily on Bush’s watch. Trump has disputed hailing Senator John McCain, 2008 Republican presidential candidate, a hero for having been shot down in Vietnam while bombing Vietnam, and has condemned and ridiculed eighty percent of media’s reporters and commentators as pathetic liars (which comes to the what is in reality that hundred percent, who are willing to preposterously describe America’s running crimes against humanity as heroic deeds in defense of American freedom). Trump has asked, “why must the United States lead the world everywhere on the globe and play the role of the world’s policeman, now for example in Ukraine? “Trump asks, “why does the United States always pursue regime changes – Iraq, Libya, Ukraine, and now it wants a regime change in Syria, Damascus, when the result is disaster.” This wholesale attack on the ‘patriotic’ war establishment is unheard of.
(Wow! Will a US president, spokesperson for Wall Street, someday go further and admit that the wars in Vietnam, Laos, Dominical Republic, Iraq, Libya, Cambodia, et cetera, were not heroic after all, as a start of telling the whole genocidal truth about all the rest of US foreign policy that former US Attorney General Ramsey Clark in his book,The Fire This Time – US War Crimes in the Gulf, calls, “the greatest crime against humanity since WWII.”)
The present US election, extremely overvalued by media as a harbinger of future events, might at least be displaying a struggle within the elite investment community that disposes of most of the wealth of humanity in insane and genocidal conflict that is detrimental to the survival of the planet. The readers is invited to read a previous jay janson article: Economic Hegemony Loss to China Looming! Powerful Investors Have Trump Call for an About Face, OpEdNews Op 7/17/2016, http://www.opednews.com/articles/Economic-Hegemony-Loss-to-by-Jay-Janson-Capitalism-Over-Humanity_China_Economics_Future-160717-871.html in which I note that the current media managed US election process seems a playing out in public of indecision within the rich one tenth of one percent, who rule America and most of the world, indecision over whether to switch to less profitable investing in their home base America and Europe, or to continue wildly enriching themselves, heavily investing in the much higher profit rendering low wage economies of the rest of the world, thereby accelerating forward the arrival of the time when those Third World nations led by China will overtake the US and Europe in economic and political power and demand equity.
Your writer ends with a post election cautionary: since presidents are not in charge of much of anything, probably not even there own photo ops, [ ] the world could well experience war during an administration led by peace advocate Trump, and conversely, peace under the fear mongering war criminal Hillary Clinton, the candidate of investors in war.
