Allegiance to Our Brother leader

Posted on 2012/01/20 by galantarie

 

To acknowledge that Muammar al-Qathafi is a MUJJADID is NOT worshipping him. It is honoring a great Reformer who loves mankind without reservations. He freely gives amnesty and rejects the idea of vengeance. He has enabled great miracles to happen for Africans and Libyans. He has given the means to the world to live in just peace and harmony UNDER GOD if they humble themselves and follow the workings of the inspired GREEN BOOK Charter. He devoted his whole life to the betterment of humanity and for man to respect God and what God has created. Honor is not the same as worship. Our brother-leader would be the First to acknowledge this.

[At a conference on Euro-Arab relations in Tripoli in May 1973, the Leader of the Revolution expounded on the philosophical aspect of the Third Universal Theory and its relationship to national and social liberation. In this speech we see the highly developed awareness of the Revolutionary Muammar Qadhafi and his acute appreciation of the complex inner needs of all the world’s peoples. It is worth recalling his words which are still very relevant to life in the 21st century. ] He said:

“Humanity now urgently needs a cry of justice which would return it to its senses and to its Creator… We need to go back to God and turn away from evil… Atomic bombs, missiles, biological weapons and aggression can only be the making of the Devil. The ideology we propose to the world is humanitarian but not made by men, nor is it a philosophy, but it is based on truth…. This is Gods law, always one, immortal, and unchangeable, a universal religion of truth which belongs to all mankind. The Third Theory offers an alternative to capitalist materialism and communist atheism and calls for the return of mankind to the Kingdom of God. Mankind was never in greater need to rearm itself with faith than it is now. We all know that all the philosophies and ideologies have failed to disprove the existence of God, and as the truth of His existence is self-evident, it is quite clear that society must be reorganised in every country of the world in accordance with the will of God and the precepts of His Prophets.”

MATHABA writes:

"...From our own impeccable sources close to the Leader Mu'ammar Qaddafi and within his own circle, at a sensitive time, without placing any risk to any source we published a denial on the same day that all world media declared -- on the basis of video files alone -- that Mu'ammar Qaddafi was dead. Once again, the minority in the world who have learned over the past 12 years that Mathaba stands alone with Truth, and who follow Mathaba closely, as well as our subscribers, knew the truth while the world was misled by tell-lie-vision media.

We also published on the very next day once again a rebuttal of the reports of Qaddafi's death and called for the matter to be closed and not to become the subject of controversy, time wasting, deflection and endless discussion. However, we were attacked by a great many who feared we would "lose credibility" and "aid the enemy" because our detractors were convinced Mu'ammar was dead. Those who have followed Mathaba online since 12 years, know that we do not pay attention to perceived "credibility", but only to the publication of truth, without fear nor favour, and without regard to political ideologies of left and right.

We had hoped that at least the minority in the world, the thinkers and truth soldiers would hear our message loud and clear, and we were not disappointed. They agreed with us that if anyone wishes to consider Qaddafi dead, let them do so, or alive, let them do so, we simply stated the facts of him being physically alive, and choosing not to communicate so that the world media who started this war, the bankers who bankrolled it in their attempts to grab African resources, and the other slaves of the "new world order" could "have their day" and their own perceived victory, even if it will be short-lived.

Yet others, including a few who should know better, still have a trust in the one and only difference between a Hollywood movie and a TV News Channel: that difference being, the channel. Turn channel to Hollywood movie and you know it is a movie, unless you are young and did not yet know that death on TV is for entertainment and faked. Turn channel to news, and the vast majority, including an incredible number of those who are otherwise in high positions: international human rights lawyers, political leaders, even heads of state -- just find it hard to believe that a news channel would lie.

News Media

As to how and why news channels lie, this is a different and longer subject. We work in news, and have seen this for decades. Few know how it really works. It has a lot to do with editors. The ownership, funds, turning a blind eye, ratings, policy, the frightful practice of getting news 3rd of 4th hand and passing it off as fact, laziness, lack of education and critical mind, spin by staff in order to keep their jobs and obtain favour of editors, and the editors keeping favour of those who own them, all play significant roles in the picture of why the so-called mainstream media (MSM) which we prefer to call Money Slave Media (M$M) is so compromised from start to finish...."
______________________________________________

To honor the man, al-Gathafi is not distortion of his cause! He gave us the GREEN BOOK, he is continuing to give us an example.
Here on Corsica, we honor the Great Pasquale Paoli. His cause did not end with his death; nor is honoring Paoli a means of self-destruct for Corsicans. Americans honor James Madison as the "Father of the U.S. Constitution". Does that mean that those who loved Madison to this day are defeating what their founding-fathers fought for???

THE WORD, according to al-GATHAFI:

Posted on 2012/01/20 by galantarie

 

Let me give you just some things that Mahmoud Ayoub has come to know (by 1987) about Our leader, and has written on just a few pages [from pp. 69-73] of his book on the religious thought of Muammar al-Qathafi:

"There is, in al-Qathafi's view, no justification for anyone to stir up conflict among Muslims and Christians and to claim by this to be defending either Islam or Christianity."

al-Qathafi believes that Islam, according to this Divine Conception, is NOT the Islam which most "Muslims" today recognise and accept.

[Before I continue with what is written here, I have to tell you that this is why the SUNI, Shi-ite and Sufi Muslims have termed him a heretic.]

As al-Qathafi sees it,

"the original Quaranic view, this pure "Islam", LITERALLY means submission to God/God alone: which was the faith of all the prophets and their true devoted followers; therefore, the true Jews and the true Christians are also the true Muslims."

al-Qathafi himself wrote: (QUOTE)

"that who ever believes in the Apostleship of our master Muhammed, WOULD HAVE ALSO BELIEVED IN ALL THE MESSENGERS WHO CAME BEFORE HIM; AS WELL AS THE SCRIPTURES which were revealed BEFORE him, Thus would the Divine Message to humankind be perfected...
"This message is for all men. It is to worship together the One and Only God. Any other belief or conception is an act of associating others in the worship of God".

(He means that it is merely LIP SERVICE and not real worship or belief.)
al-Qathafi says this

"in light of these truths"

...that this is a call for Christians and Jews to RETURN TO THEIR OWN SCRIPTURES and JUDGE BY THEM as it is clearly stated in the QUARAN:

'Let the people of the GOSPEL judge in accordance with that which God has sent down in it. Whosoever does not judge in accordance with which God has sent down ---such are unrighteous.'

al-Qathafi goes on to say that those bigoted, self righteous among the Jews and Christians who edited, deleted or altered or distorted the meaning of the Holy Scriptures (meaning all the references to Muhammed in the Torah [the 4 Books of Moses] and in the Christian Gospels [MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE & JOHN] do not fully represent the complete revelations which God sent down through Moses and Jesus).

Ayoub continues to remenise about what al-Qathafi spoke in February 1976 (a Libyan sponsored time of dialogue with Muslims and Christians):

"IN that meeting, Qathafi again called for better understanding and cooperation among the peoples of Divine Scriptures: Jews, Christians and Muslims. (QUOTING al-Gathafi): 'Had the Muslims known of the Quaran truly, there would have been no essential disagreements which would lead to wars among them.'

al-Qathafi said

' The problem is that until today Muslims have NOT returned to the Quaran as they should, nor have the Christians and Jews returned to the true, or authentic [sahih] Torah and Gospel. It is this which has created conflicts among the people of faith.'

In al-Qathafi view, only Muslims are in error; while, for the Jews and Christians, it is both them and their altered Scriptures which are in error. (In both cases, the Scriptures have been INTERPRETED wrongly and the beliefs are impure.)
Ayoub writes that al-Qathafi's purpose in promoting dialogue among the people of faith is to promote harmony and co-operation among them. HE IS A RELIGIOUS MAN; and thus sees himself as HAVING A COMMON CAUSE WITH RELIGIOUS JEWS AND CHRISTIANS in striving against atheism and MORAL DEPRAVITY...

al-QATHFI (himsef writes) QUOTE:

"It is imperative that conflicts among us should cease as much as this is possible...WE MUST OVERCOME OUR PROBLEMS IN ORDER THAT WE DO NOT PROMOTE ATHEISM AMOUNG OUR PEOPLE AND PREVENT THEM FROM ABANDONING FAITH ALL-TOGETHER."

Muslims are obligated to accept the Quaran and to accept and venerate ALL the prophets of God from Adam to Muhammed.

al-Qathafi says that God spoke of Muhammed's coming in all the Holy Scriptures previous to the Quaran; and that the deletion of the verses announcing his coming or preventing the signs of his prophethood and apostleship is a serious distortion of the Holy Scriptures and man's false interpretation of them.
He says that sectarian differences within each of those Communities, needs to come to an end; and each of those Communities must become united as One (instead of a plurality of thoughts and interpretations).
al-Qathafi is committed to the support of revolutionary movements REGARDLESS OF THE RELIGIOUS IDENTITY OF THE PEOPLES INVOLVED (as was the case of SERBIA AND IRELAND).

In that "MUSLIM-CHRISTIAN DIALOGUE MEETING in TRIPOLI", al-Qathafi observed that erroneosly some so-called "Muslims" believed that the war between Muslims and Christians, or between Muslims and Jews, is a holy war!
This he asserted was a highly MISTAKEN VIEW! He said: (QUOTE)

"This is because JIHAD (or Amed Struggle) must always be between the people of faith and the REJECTORS of faith. BUT BETWEEN TWO GROUPS OF BELIEVERS there is NOTHING CALLRED JIHAD: Rather it is WARFARE [QITAL]. ...The Quaran enjoins us to have dialogue with the people with the BOOK as our people, SINCE  THEY WERE AND THEY ARE MUSLIMS to God." (UNQUOTE)

al-Qathafi went on to explain that the conflict with the State of Israel was not a religious conflict, but rather a POLITICAL CONFLICT with NO religious overtones. He said (QUOTE):

"Any kind of religious fanactism is a crime. All that we wish is amnity and brotherhood among all the decendants of Abraham." (UNQUOTE)

Ayoub concludes the chapter:

"al-Qathafi is guided by the Quaran in both his national and international relations. The Quaran, for that reason, invites the People of the Book 'to a common agreement' and purpose between them and the Muslims. It commends the true Christians for their tenderness and amnity towars the Muslims, and for their recognition of truth."

al-Qathafi  acknowledges (with approbation)

"those of the Community of Moses WHO JUDGE BY THE TRUTH and THROUGH IT DISPENSE JUSTICE"....

Islam in Revolutionary Libya, The Making of The Socialist People’s Libyan Arab Jamahiriya:

Posted on 2012/01/20 by galantarie

Edited from Helen Chapin Metz, deceased

The remaking of Libyan society that Qadhafi envisioned and to which he devoted his energies after the early 1970s formally began in 1973 with a so-called cultural or popular revolution. The revolution was designed to combat bureaucratic inefficiency, lack of public interest and participation in the subnational governmental system, and problems of national political coordination. In an attempt to instill revolutionary fervor into his compatriots and to involve large numbers of them in political affairs, Qadhafi urged them to challenge traditional authority and to take over and run government organs themselves. The instrument for doing this was the “people’s committee.” Within a few months, such committees were found all across Libya. They were functionally and geographically based and eventually became responsible for local and regional administration.

People’s Committees were established in such widely divergent organizations as universities, private business firms, government bureaucracies, and the broadcast media. Geographically based committees were formed at the governorate, municipal, and zone (lowest) levels. Seats on the people’s committees at the zone level were filled by direct popular election; members so elected could then be selected for service at higher levels. By mid-1973 estimates of the number of people’s committees ranged above 2,000.

In the scope of their administrative and regulatory tasks and the method of their members’ selection, the people’s committees embodied the concept of direct democracy that Qadhafi propounded in the first volume of The Green Book, which appeared in 1976. The same concept lay behind proposals to create a new political structure composed of “People’s Congresses.” The centerpiece of the new system was the General People’s Congress (GPC–see Glossary), a national representative body intended to replace the RCC.

The new political order took shape in March 1977 when the GPC, at Qadhafi‘s behest, adopted the “Declaration of the Establishment of the People’s Authority” and proclaimed the Socialist People’s Libyan Arab Jamahiriya. The term Jamahiriya is difficult to translate, but American scholar Lisa Anderson has suggested “peopledom” or “state of the masses” as a reasonable approximation of Qadhafi‘s concept that the people should govern themselves free of any constraints, especially those of the modern bureaucratic state. The GPC also adopted resolutions designating Qadhafi as its general secretary and creating the General Secretariat of the GPC, comprising the remaining members of the defunct RCC. It also appointed the General People’s Committee, which replaced the Council of Ministers, its members now called secretaries rather than ministers.

All legislative and executive authority was vested in the GPC. This body, however, delegated most of its important authority to its general secretary and General Secretariat and to the General People’s Committee. Qadhafi, as general secretary of the GPC, remained the primary decision maker, just as he had been when chairman of the RCC. In turn, all adults had the right and duty to participate in the deliberation of their local Basic People’s Congress (BPC), whose decisions were passed up to the GPC for consideration and implementation as national policy. The BPCs were in theory the repository of ultimate political authority and decision making, being the embodiment of what Qadhafi termed direct “people’s power.” The 1977 declaration and its accompanying resolutions amounted to a fundamental revision of the 1969 constitutional proclamation, especially with respect to the structure and organization of the government at both national and subnational levels.

Continuing to revamp Libya’s political and administrative structure, Qadhafi introduced yet another element into the body politic. Beginning in 1977, “Revolutionary Committees” (see Glossary) were organized and assigned the task of “absolute revolutionary supervision of people’s power”; that is, they were to guide the People’s Committees, raise the general level of political consciousness and devotion to revolutionary ideals, and guard against deviation and opposition in the BPCs. Filled with politically astute zealots, the ubiquitous Revolutionary Committees in 1979 assumed control of BPC elections; and this is when Qadhafi himself resigned as the General Secretariat. Although they were not official government organs, the Revolutionary Committees became another mainstay of the domestic political scene. As with the People’s Committees and other administrative innovations since the al–Fetah ’69 Revolution, the Revolutionary Committees fit the pattern of imposing a new element on the existing subnational system of government rather than eliminating or consolidating already existing structures.

The changes in Libyan leadership since 1976 culminated in March 1979, when the GPC declared that the “vesting of power in the masses” and the “separation of the state from the revolution” were complete. Qadhafi relinquished his duties as general secretary of the GPC, being known thereafter as “the leader” or “Leader of the Revolution.” He remained Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces. His replacement was Abdallah Ubaydi, who in effect had been “prime minister” since 1979. The RCC was formally dissolved and the government was again reorganized into People’s Committees. A new General People’s Committee (cabinet) was selected, each of its “secretaries” becoming head of a specialized People’s Committee; the exceptions were the “secretariats” of petroleum, foreign affairs, and heavy industry, where there were no people’s committees. A proposal was also made to establish a “people’s army” by substituting a national militia, being formed in the late 1970s, for the national army. Although the idea surfaced again in early 1982, it did not appear to be close to implementation (see Conscription and the People’s Militia , ch. 5).

Remaking of the economy was parallel with the attempt to remold political and social institutions. Until the late 1970s, Libya’s economy was mixed, with a large role for private enterprise except in the fields of oil production and distribution, banking, and insurance. But according to volume two of Qadhafi’s Green Book, which appeared in 1978, private retail trade, rent, and wages were forms of “exploitation” that should be abolished. Instead, workers’ self-management committees and profit participation partnerships were to function in public and private enterprises. A property law was passed that forbade ownership of more than one private dwelling, and Libyan workers took control of a large number of companies, turning them into state-run enterprises. Retail and wholesale trading operations were replaced by state-owned “people’s supermarkets” (see Role of the Government , ch. 3), where Libyans in theory could purchase whatever they needed at low prices. By 1981 the state had also restricted access to individual bank accounts to draw upon privately held funds for government projects.

Measures such as these undoubtedly benefited poorer Libyans. Few opponents responded to the 1979 call to “repentance” or to a similar one issued in October 1982 in which Qadhafi once again threatened liquidation of the recalcitrant, the GPC having already declared their personal property forfeit.

(Internal opposition came from elements of the middle class who opposed Qadhafi‘s economic reforms and from students and intellectuals who criticized his ideology.)

He also incurred the anger of the Islamic community for his unorthodox interpretations of the doctrine and traditions of Islam, his challenge to the authority of the religious establishment, and his contention that the ideas in The Green Book were compatible with and based upon Islam. Endowed Islamic properties (habus–see Glossary) were nationalized as part of Qadhafi’s economic reforms, and he urged “the masses” to take over mosques.

(The most serious challenges came from the armed forces, especially the officers’ corps, and from the RCC. Perhaps the most important one occurred in 1975 when Minister of Planning and RCC member Major Umar Mihayshi and about thirty army officers attempted a coup after disagreements over political economic policies. The failure of the coup led to the flight of Mihayshi and part of the country’s technocratic elite….In August 1980 several hundred people were allegedly killed in the wake of an unsuccessful army revolt centered in Tobruk.)

Under the revolutionary JAMAHIRIYA, the role of orthodox Islam in Libyan life has become progressively more important. Qadhafi is a highly devout Muslim who has repeatedly expressed a desire to exalt Islam and to restore it to its proper–i.e., central–place in the life of the people. He believes that the purity of Islam has been sullied through time, particularly by the influence of Europeans during and after the colonial period, and that its purity must be restored–by such actions as the restoration of sharia to its proper place in the JAMAHIRIYA legal system, the banning of “immodest” practices and dress, and the symbolic purification of major urban mosques that took place in 1978.

Qadhafi also believes in the value of the Quran as a moral and political guide for the contemporary world, as is evident from his tract, The Green Book, published in the mid-1970s (see The Green Book, ch. 4). Qadhafi consideres the first part of The Green Book to be a commentary on the implications of the Quranic injunction that human affairs be managed by consultation. For him, this means direct democracy, which is given “practical meaning” through the creation of People’s Committees and Popular Congresses. Qadhafi feels that, inasmuch as The Green Book is based solely on the Quran, its provisions are universally applicable--at least among “Muslims” [who for him, are all the variants of honest believers, whether Islam, Christian or Judaic].

Soon after taking office, the Qadhafi and his new “Revolutionary” govenment showed itself to be devoutly fundamentalist by closing bars and nightclubs, banning entertainment deemed provocative or immodest, and making use of the Muslim calendar mandatory. The intention of reestablishing sharia was announced, and Qadhafi personally assumed chairmanship of a commission to study the problems involved. In November 1973, a new legal code was issued that revised the entire Libyan judicial system to conform to the sharia, and in 1977 the General People’s Congress (GPC) issued a statement that all future legal codes would be based on the Quran.

Among the laws enacted by the new JAMAHIRIYA, were a series of legal penalties prescribed during 1973 which included the punishment for adultery being eighty lashes, to be administered to both men and women guilty of fornication.

In the early 1970s, Islam played a major role in legitimizing Qadhafi‘s political and social reforms. By the end of the decade, however, he had begun to attack the religious establishment and several fundamental aspects of Sunni Islam. Qadhafi asserted the transcendence of the Quran as the sole guide to Islamic governance and the unimpeded ability of every Muslim to read and interpret it. He denigrated the roles of the ulama (see Glossary), imams, and Islamic jurists and questioned the authenticity of the hadith, and thereby the sunna, as a basis for Islamic law. The sharia itself, Qadhafi maintained, governed only such matters as properly fell within the sphere of religion; all other matters lay outside the purview of religious law. Finally, he called for a revision of the Muslim calendar, saying it should date from the Prophet’s death in 632, an event he felt was more momentous than the hijra ten years earlier.

These unorthodox views on the hadith, sharia, and the Islamic era aroused a good deal of unease. They seemed to originate from Qadhafi’s conviction that he possessed the transcendant ability to interpret the Quran and to adapt its message to modern life (as an IMAM). Equally, they reinforced the view that he was a reformer (Mujjadid) but not a literalist in matters of the Quran and Islamic tradition. By espousing these views Qadhafi clearly considered himself an authority on the Quran and Islam and was not afraid to challenge traditional religious authority. He also was not prepared to tolerate dissent. Qadhafi began to see clearly his calling and mission.

The revolutionary JAMAHIRIYA gave repeated evidence of its desire to establish Libya as a leader of the Islamic world. Moreover, Qadhafi’s efforts to create an Arab nation through political union with other Arab states were also based on a desire to create a great Islamic nation. Indeed, Qadhafi drew little distinction between the two.

The government took a leading role in supporting Islamic institutions and in worldwide proselytizing on behalf of Islam. The Jihad Fund, supported by a payroll tax, was established in 1970 to aid the Palestinians in their struggle with Israel. The Faculty of Islamic Studies and Arabic at the University of Benghazi was charged with training Muslim intellectual leaders for the entire Islamic world, and the Islamic Mission Society used public funds for the construction and repair of mosques and Islamic educational centers in cities as widely separated as Vienna and Bangkok. The Islamic Call Society (Ad Dawah) was organized with government support to propagate Islam abroad, particularly throughout Africa, and to provide funds to Muslims everywhere.

Qadhafi has been forthright in his belief in the perfection of Islam and his desire to propagate it. His commitment to the open propagation of Islam, among other reasons, has caused him to oppose the Muslim Brotherhood, an Egyptian-based fundamentalist movement that has used clandestine and sometimes subversive means to spread Islam and to eliminate Western influences. Although the brotherhood’s activities in Libya were banned in the mid-1980s, it was present in the country but maintained a low profile (see Religious Opposition , ch. 4). In 1983 a member of the brotherhood was executed in Tripoli, and in 1986 a group of brotherhood adherents was arrested after the murder of a high-ranking political official in Benghazi. Qadhafi has challenged the brotherhood to establish itself openly in non-Muslim countries and has promised its leaders that, if it does, he will support its activities.

Qadhafi has stressed the universal applicability of Islam, but he has also reaffirmed the special status assigned by the Prophet to Christians. He has, however, likened many of them to misguided Muslims who have strayed from the correct path. Qadhafi has assumed leadership of a drive to free Africa from the colonialism with which false Christianity and protestant prostilitisors have been associated.

A PRIMORDIAL and ETERNAL MEANING TO BEING A MUSLIM" : DECENCY & LOVE, of God, all his Creation and Mankind

Posted on 2012/01/20 by galantarie

Tripoli, before the '69 al-Fateh Revolution was the "FUN CITY" of North Africa.
In an interview in December 1972, Muammar al-Qathafi was accused by the Western interviewer, by saying that MUSLIMS have to endure auster, inhuman conditions! He replied:

"I deny that there is a situation of austerity in Libya, unless you mean by austerity as the lack of places where women can be bought and sold [BROTHELS], and where there are no Taverns [sex and alcoholic BARS]. If this is what you think, then such ideas would have to be rejected by any reasonable, thinking person."

al-Qathafi's faith is his concern for the welfare of human beings.

"Without faith, man becomes a slave of the Machine, but we Muslims are slaves to no one but God alone. We say openly that Islam is a call to progress; and that any other system, such as Communism or Liberalism, is a call to reactionism."

The Islamic Greeting is "peace be upon you", just as it is said in the Roman-Catholic Mass. He further argued that since the motto of Musleims is "Peace", then they must be missionaries of Peace everywhere. Islam cannot be spread by force, but only by persuation. He concluded

"We feel that the whole world is in need of Islamic faith. This is because, all other religions have become incapable of solving the spiritual problems of human kind. Islam is therefore the only religion capable of offering a final solution to humanity's problems."

As Muammar al-Qathafi sees it,

"all those who firmly believe in God and do good, are Muslims. regarless of what specific monotheistic religion they adhere to."

He concludes

"I believe that all problems would be solved within the framework of the Divine Conception, within the framework of this reality: If we all were to believe in the One God, and do good, the problem would be finished. It would then not matter to me whether you follow Muhammed, Jesus or Moses."

al-Qathafi cites the Quaranic verse:

"It is the religion (millah) of your Father Abraham; it is he who called you Muslims aforetime"

..."Being a Muslim is therefore ancient, going back to the time of Abraham and even to the beginning of the Creation..." Yet we do not wish to turn true Christians into Islamists" (The true Chrstians are already Muslims.) "There are however, millions of people in the world, who are either without faith at all, or who adhere to 'natural' religions. We should seek first to, turn these millions of people to true religion: then all would be easy."

al-Qathafi has spoken good of Christian Missionary organisations spreading the Christian faith in the world (BUT, he wished that AMERICAN money was not behind such noble endeavors as with the many American Revivalist Fundamentalist Protestant preachers.) He wished that

"the Cross and the Crescent work side by side in the world."

ALGERIA ISP / Elbadil According to the U.S. forcesconcentrated in Malta, arrived yesterday on the beachcities “Brega“, “Raes Lanouf” and “Sirte” under thepretext of protecting the fields oil and export ports. Theresistance has announced that it will burn Libya and any foreign soldier who ask his feet on the groundJamahiriya.

As a reminder the day and the site Elkods Elarabi Elbadil have already published a few days ago that president Barack Obama gave a directive to transfer 12,000 U.S. troops from Malta to Libya.

Western troops hope to secure the export of Libyan oil to European markets at very low prices not exceeding $ 20 per barrel, this is the first result of the agreement concluded by the head of the Libyan government El-Kib with countries of NATO. 
It is noted that the U.S. has bought Iraqi oil from 2003 to 2007 the price of one dollar per barrel, on the pretext ofrestoring the expense of the “liberation” of Iraq, andAtlanticist seems to follow the same method today in Libya.

Americans Are Coming – Gli americani stanno arrivando – (Eng-Ita)
Posted on 18 January 2012

Under the pretext of protecting the oil fields, hundreds of American soldiers are disembarking on the shores of Libya. Libyan FM reported this morning that 6.000 US troops landed at Mitiga base as well. One hour after that, we were informed that most of the US troops were already setting up mobile camps and equipment around oil fields and rafineries. (by Libya S.O.S)

U.S. forces were concentrated in the Malta. Today they reached the beaches of Ras Lanuf, Sirte and other oil ports under the pretext of protecting the oil fields and ports from ‘illegal exports by Libyan armed gangs’.

As we all know the resistance has previously announced that they will burn Libyan oil rafineries if and when the first ‘invading oil soldier’ arrives to the Jamahiryan territory.

A few days ago it was reported that Barack Obama gave a directive to transfer 12 thousand U.S. troops, stationed in Malta, to Libya.

He hopes the presence of Western troops on the ground will secure pumping Libyan oil to European markets at very low prices which will not exceed $ 20 per barrel.

So the first results of the ‘liberated’ Libyan economy, are unfair deals signed by the NATO puppets (Council of Shame) with the new colonists.

For those of you who didn’t know, United States of America had been buying Iraqi oil between 2003 and 2007 for the price of one dollar per barrel, under the pretext of restoring the lost expenditure in the “liberation” of Iraq, and it seems that Atlanticists themselves follow the same method today in Libya.

Libyan Feb17 fools liberated themselves from oil..

Libya currently lives in a State of perpetual war and every day fighting increases, covered most of the cities of Libya, including those regions that were relatively calm in recent months.
It seems that the Libyans finally realized: their country destroyed and pull up in astronomical debts; in Libya there is no one family that has not lost a family member, relative, friend or neighbour.
Of the 20 billion dollars of Libyan reserves, which, according to NATO, have been allocated PFI, Libyan citizens have not received a single cent.
For this reason, 12 thousand American soldiers are in Malta and are preparing to return to Libya. Yesterday evening, it was reported on the arrival of the first group of mercenaries in the ports of the Ras Lanuf and Alphippa ….

Fighting continues in Libya, this time in Derna

Posted on January 17, 2012 | Leave a comment

Fighting has been continuing in almost daily basis in Tripoli and surrounding areas, new reports from Libya suggests that fighting has spread to Benghazi and Derna, far eastern Libyan cities which have been relatively peaceful for the past months. This comes as NATO continues stealing Libyan money, and the Libyan Central Bank reported that they have reported one dime of the 20 billion USD of Libyan foreign reserves, which NATO claimed to have released.

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.
