The Provocateurs Know Politics And Religion Don’t Mix
Has Al-Qaeda – defeated by the Arab revolutionaries who demanded dignity rather than a Bin Laden Caliphate across the Middle East – now decided to cash in on populist grievances to advance their Islamist cause?
Lockerbie Libya Syria; Who To Frame Next
New evidence in the Pan Am 103 bombing over Lockerbie is clearing the name of Abdelbaset Al Megrahi, who was convicted and sentenced during the Camp Zeist Trial. As many intelligence experts have suggested for years, the evidence is leading towards persons in Germany, with ties to the Palestinian Front For the Liberation of Palestine – General Command, PFLP-GC. Why is it, that the new evidence is produced now, at a time, where the USA, EU, and NATO have installed the TNC in Tripoli, and have initiated an armed insurgency into Syria in preparation of NATO´s neo-colonial ambitions in Northern Africa and the Middle East.
Gaddafi Leaves Libya?
As rebels surround Libya”s capital city of Tripoli, widespread tweets are claiming Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Al-Gaddafi has left the country.
“After you Brother!” Qadaffi stays and Obama leaves?
Gaddafi has survived assaults of various types from US Presidents’ Ford, Carter, Reagan, George Bush 1, Clinton, George Bush 2, and Obama. Vegas book makers are giving odds he’ll be the leader of Libya’s Fatah Revolution after the voters retire Obama, whose broken promises included telling them that the US would be involved in Libya for days, not months.
Eisenhower’s worst fears came true. We invent enemies to buy the bombs
Nato has long outlived its purpose, now justifying its existence only by how much it induces its members to spend, and how many wars irrelevant to its purpose it finds to fight. Yet still it does not spend enough for the US defence secretary. In his anger, Gates threatened that “future US leaders … may not consider the return on America’s investment in Nato worth the cost”. Is that a threat or a promise?
Angry Twitter Birds Topple Arab Dictator in a TV Ad [VIDEO]

If Obama’s Libyan Intervention “Succeeds”, Will Palestine Be Next?
Following the change in Libya, it is not too early to look northward toward Israel. If Libya does stabilize, President Obama will be on a roll, all the more reason he could decide he will not need congressional backup to end Israel’s irresponsible domination of the region.
Britain cherry-picks which war criminals to prosecute and where to impose no-fly zones
Stuart Littlewood highlights the incredible, blatant hypocrisy of the British government, foremost Prime Minister David Cameron and Foreign Secretary William Hague, who are applying one standard to the criminal Libyan regime of Mu’ammar Gaddafi while going out of their way to protect and justify the crimes of another criminal regime, that of Israel.
Roots of the Arab Revolts and Premature Celebrations
Street-based movements lack the organization and leadership to project, let alone impose a new political or social order. Their power is found in their ability to pressure existing elites and institutions, not to replace the state and economy. Hence the surprising ease with which the US, Israeli and EU backed Egyptian military were able to seize power and protect the entire rentier state and economic structure while sustaining their ties with their imperial mentors.
Major Media Promote War on Libya
When imperial America wants war, peace advocates are shut out by official rhetoric and hawkish media reports supporting militarism, not diplomatic efforts to achieve peace. Those for it aren’t heard. Hugo Chavez’s government is one. On February 28, Venezuela’s Foreign Minister, Nicolas Maduro, warned against belligerence.

Concerning al-Gaddafi he expressed: “I cannot imagine that the Libyan leader would abandon his country”.
The Spectre of a Black Europe
The fall of the African dictators will deprive Europe of valuable allies in the fight against irregular migration. The political vacuum and the social and economic instability that follows will create a new wave of desperate migrants daring the high seas to reach the coats of Europe.
Tripoli – A City in the Shadow of Death

America Change Your Policies in the MidEast Or Lose It
In a few days, or less, Libya will be free from the 42 year rule of the mentally unstable, psychotic, arrogant, divisive, condescending, megalomaniacal leader and self proclaimed “King of Africa.” –Muammar Al-Ghaddafi.
