**JP** The Truth About Libya

By Stephen Goodson 4-1-11   Colonel Muammar Gadaffi is frequently referred to in the media as a "mad dictator" and "bloody tyrant", but do these allegations accord with the facts?   Libya consists of over 15O tribes, with the two main groups, the Meghabra living in Tripolitania in the west and the Wafallah living in Cyrenaica in the east. Previous attempts to unite these tribes by the Turkish (1855-1911) and ltalian {1911-43) colonial rulers failed and the country was split in two for administrative purposes.   Oil was discovered in Libya in 1959, but King ldris of the Senussi tribe allowed most of the oil profits to be siphoned into the coffers of the oil companies. The coup d'etat on 1 September 1969 led by Colonel Gadaffi had countrywide support. He subsequently married a woman from the royal Barqa tribe and adroitly unified the nation.   By retaining Libya's oil wealth for the benefit of all its people, Gadaffi had created a socialist paradise. There is no unemployment, Libya has the highest GDP in .Africa, less than 5% of the population is classified as poor and it has fewer people living below the poverty datum line than for example in Holland. Life expectancy is 75 years and is the highest in Africa and I0% above the world average.   With the exception of the nomadic Bedouin and Tuareg tribes, most Libyan families possess a house and a car. There is free health care and education and not surprisingly Libya has a literacy rate of 82%. Last year Gadaffi distributed $500 to each man, woman and child (population 6.5 million).   Libya has a tolerable human rights record and stands at 61 on the International Incarceration Index, comparable with countries in central Europe (the lower the rating, the lower the standing - the USA occupies the no.1 spot!). There is hardly any crime and only rebels and traitors are dealt with harshly.   Anyone who has read Gadaffi's little Green Book will realize that he is a thoughtful and enlightened leader. Libya has been accused of having committed numerous acts of terrorism in the past, but many of these have been perpetrated by foreign intelligence agencies as false flag operations - the Lockerbie bombing being a prime example.   The CIA and MI6 and their frontmen have been stoking up dissent in the east of the country for almost 30 years. Libya produces exceptionally high quality light crude oil and its production cost of $1 a barrel, compared to the current price of $115, is the lowest in the world.   Riba (usury) is not permitted. The Central bank of Libya is a wholly-owned by the Libyan Government and is run as a state bank, issuing all government loans free of interest. This is in contrast to the exploitative fractional reserve banking system of the West. The no-fly zone and the bombing of Libya have nothing to do with the protection of civilians. It is an act of war ­ a blatant and crude attempt by the oil corporations and international bankers to steal the wealth of Libya.

**JP** How Stupid About Libyan Human Shield

Friday, April 8, 2011     Surprise! The Pentagon and the U.S. mainstream "news" they control roll out the "human shields" stories in an Arab country we're bombing, just like clockwork! YouTube: search "Libya Human Shields" Google: search "Libya Human Shields" Search Big Dan's Big Blog for: "human shields" and find my posts pointing out the propaganda "human shields" stories over the years. Aren't they in their OWN country, and we are in THEIR country bombing them? Regardless of if there's "human shields"...which isn't true anyway? How can we go into a country, bomb them, and say when we kill their children and civilians: "Well...they used them as 'human shields', so we're absolved!"? As if we should be able to bomb them and they shouldn't have "human shields"...HOW DARE THEY! When did this become acceptable, to kill children and civilians, because they're using them as "human shields"? Then it's "OK" to keep bombing? It's bullshit! We're killing their children and civilians and they AREN'T using them as "human shields"! They say this EVERY TIME! Here we go with the "human shields" bullshit...again...prepping us so that when we murder civilians and children in Libya, it's because Ghaddafi used them as "human shields". See: we NEVER kill children and civilians in Arab countries (it's only ARAB countries btw), THEY kill them by putting them in the way of OUR bombs when we bomb them in THEIR country:   Click here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OQn4pccPng&feature=player_embedded     Here's FOX "news" lying about a "human shields" story - by the way, notice the FOX "reporter" says Ghadaffi began "firing on us". Ummm...isn't he in HIS country, and YOU are in HIS country? wtf? It's not like you're in New York and Ghadaffi is bombing you where you live...YOU'RE IN FUCKING LIBYA! ASSHOLE! "Ghadaffi's bombing me! Waaaaaaah! Oh, yeah: I'm in Libya, I forgot...he's actually where he lives, and I'm not..."     Click here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aSj_-RHiA4&feature=player_embedded   And don't think I like CNN, they're in on it, too. BUT...here's a CNN newsman saying FOX "made up" a "human shields" story about HIM...what does that tell you about the "human shields" stories in general:   Click here: http://www.cnn.com/video/?/video/bestoftv/2011/03/21/exp.tsr.robertson.blitzer.cnn
