12,000 U.S. troops in Malta ready to descend into Libya

It is with great disappointment that I receive the news from foreign media publications and Libyan sources that our President now has 12,000 U.S. troops stationed in Malta and they are about to make their descent into Libya.
For those of you who have not followed closely the situation in Libya, the resistance to the rule of the National Transitional Council is strong. The National Transitional Council (NTC) cast of characters has about as much support on the ground as did Mahmoud Abbas before the United Nations request for Palestinian statehood or Afghanistan’s regal-looking but politically impotent Hamid Karzai or for that matter, George W Bush after eight years.
The NTC not only has to contend with a vibrant, well-financed, grassroots-supported resistance, but the various militias of the NTC are now also fighting each other. I believe this “sociocide” of Libyan society, as we previously witnessed in Iraq and Afghanistan before it, is part of a carefully crafted plan of destabilization that ultimately serves U.S. imperial interests and those of a Zionist state and its US agents who are bent on Greater Israel’s suzerainty over huge swaths of Arabic-speaking populations. Pakistan is also on the list for neutering in Muslim and world affairs, saddled with its own unpopular civilian leadership that finds itself in the hip pocket of the United States for survival, often getting sat upon by its fiscal guarantor.
The “Arab Spring” has sprung and the indelible fingerprints of malignant foreign financed operations must be erased if the people are to have a chance to truly govern themselves. Unfortunately, these foreign-inspired organizations are present and operating in just about every country in the world. The threat is ever-present like sleeping cells–all that is needed is that the right word to “activate” be given. Both Daniel Ortega and Hugo Chavez can write tomes on the impact of the National Endowment for Democracy in the political life of their countries.
In other words, those who create the chaos have a plan and in the midst of chaos, they usually are the ones who will win. Those who wrote the plan of this chaos were affiliated with the Project for a New American Century–read A Clean Break if you already haven’t. General Wesley Clark told us of the plan to invade and destroy the governments of seven countries in five years: Iraq, Syria Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran. “These people took control of the policy in the United States,” Clark continues. He concludes, “This country was taken over by a group of people with a policy coup: Wolfowitz, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and . . . collaborators from the Project for a New American Century: they wanted us to destabilize the Middle East.” Richard Perle, Bill Kristol publicize these plans and “could hardly wait to finish Iraq so they could go into Syria,” Clark goes on. “The root of the problem is the strategy of the United States in this region. Why are Americans dying in this region? That is the issue,” he finishes.
Now, from Libya, reports are that even while the Misrata rebels (NATO allies responsible for the murder of hundreds of Libyans, including Moatessem Qaddafi) attempted to scale the petroleum platforms in Brega (an important oil town in Libya), they were annihilated by the Apache helicopters of their own NATO allies. A resistance Libyan doctor-become-journalist reported yesterday that all of the petroleum platforms are occupied by NATO and that warships occupy Libya’s ports. Photographs show Italian encampments in the desert with an announcement that the French are to follow.
Another news outlet reports that Qataris and Emiratees are the engineers now at the oil plants, turning away desperate Libyan workers. While long lines exist for Libyan drivers to get their gas, foreign troops ensure the black gold’s export. Libyans lack enough food and the basics, the country has been turned upside down, and contaminated with uranium while the true number of dead and unaccounted for remains high and unknown. Thousands of young Libyans, supporters of the Jahamiriya, languish under torture and assassination in a Misrata prison where a humanitarian disaster is about to unfold because Misrata rebels want to kill them all and have already attacked the prison once to do so. An urgent appeal to contact the International Red Cross was issued yesterday to help save the lives of the prisoners. And finally, Black Libyans continue to be targeted for harassment and murder in Libya by US/NATO allies on the ground. Teaching hate, given the images of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan released yesterday, urinating on Afghani dead bodies, is not a difficult thing to do, it would seem. Videos are posted of Black Libyans being beaten, whipped, threatened, harassed, and humiliated. These videos remind me of the antebellum South–reminiscent of the days of slavery and The Confederacy. So, when I use the word “descend” to describe U.S. anticipated actions, I mean just that: U.S. troops are about to descend into the hell on Earth created by their President and the leaders of other countries who approved of, aided, or participated in the death of Libyan-owned society. A report from last night indicates that one militia, fearing other militias even invited foreigners in to protect them.
I hope the report that I’m reading from 12 January 2012 is not true. I hope our President has not sent 12,000 troops of occupation to Malta destined for Libya. Lucy Grider-Bradley (of our DIGNITY Delegation) just yesterday reminded me of the words of a high-ranking Libyan Jahamiriya Foreign Ministry representative who just happened to be at the Tunisia/Libya border office at the same time we were waiting there. He said, “Let the Americans come. We want them to taste our sandwiches. We will give them the same serving they got in Vietnam.”

Commandos prepare for service in Tripoli

It is only the third mission for special forces to guard a Swiss embassy (Keystone)

Swiss special forces are set to guard the country’s embassy in Tripoli from the middle of January.
But details of soldier numbers and units will not be revealed for security reasons, said Adrian Sollberger, foreign ministry spokesman.A few days before the planned deployment, even the speakers of the security and foreign committees were not fully informed.
Mission orders are set to be given in the next few days, Chantal Galladé, speaker of the House of Representatives security committee, told swissinfo.ch.
The threat level in Tripoli is currently relatively low, she said, adding that Switzerland was one of few countries to guard its embassy in this way.
Galladé said the composition of the Swiss detachment and the length of the operation would depend on the threat level: the smaller the threat, the smaller the presence of the DRA10 (Army Reconnaissance Detachment 10) special forces unit.
The foreign ministry describes the current situation in the Libyan capital as relatively stable, although armed militias pose a danger for foreigners.
Neutrality?
After re-opening in October, the Swiss embassy in Tripoli has been protected by the controversial British security firm Aegis, which caused a sensation in Switzerland in 2010 when it moved its headquarters to Basel. It had been accused of taking part in acts of war.The security committee of the Senate had demanded Aegis’s mercenaries be replaced by Swiss soldiers.
The government agreed to this request in December, although some politicians – above all those from the rightwing Swiss People’s Party – fundamentally reject the deployment of armed Swiss soldiers abroad, citing neutrality.
At the end of December, the foreign ministry announced that in addition to the DRA10 it was also considering the use of a special detachment of the military police.
The DRA10 is trained to take part in operations abroad, to protect people, troops and facilities at heightened levels of risk, and also to rescue Swiss citizens stuck in crisis zones and escort them home.
This was the unit mentioned in connection with the springing of two Swiss hostages arrested in Tripoli in 2008 (see related story).
Embassy protection
The embassy in Tripoli is the only Swiss representation abroad where Swiss soldiers are responsible for security.All the others are sufficiently protected, according to the foreign ministry, which added that host countries are primarily responsible for security, although embassies can arrange additional security measures.
“Almost half of Swiss representations are protected by private, mostly local, firms,” said the ministry, which didn’t give concrete reasons for the different security measures in its embassies.
“Depending on the threat – criminality, risk of attack, prevention – the private firms take on jobs that range from complex to more simple, such as guarding a building overnight or on official holidays,” it said.
Algiers and Tehran
The foreign ministry confirmed that until now Swiss soldiers have only ever been deployed twice to protect Swiss representations abroad – and they’ve never needed to use their weapons.In 1998, the embassy in Algiers was re-opened and guarded by professional soldiers after foreigners had been attacked by the Armed Islamic Group (GIA).
In 2006, members of DRA10 were sent to Tehran as part of a total of 30 soldiers to protect the embassy there. Parliament later admonished the government because it had not been informed of the operation in time.
According to military law, the government can only decide on operations on its own a maximum of three weeks in advance. In addition, the presidents of the security and foreign commissions of both parliamentary chambers must be informed, and later parliament too.
As for the Swiss embassy in Tripoli, the foreign ministry is assuming the operation will last longer. As a result, parliament will have the last word. The cabinet will submit a fromal request to parliament in the spring session.
Sanctions lifted
Bilateral relations between Switzerland and Libya are set to normalise after more than three years.The new Libyan government last Monday officially ended trade and economic sanctions against Switzerland which in turn had started lifting its embargo against Tripoli in September 2011.
According to the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs, Swiss business with Libya has suffered considerably over the past few years.
In 2008 Switzerland exported goods worth SFr282.3 million ($296 million) to Libya. In 2009 Swiss exports plummeted to SFr156.2 million, falling again to SFr110 million in 2010.
