Via Mathaba: The Iraqi Baath Party, under the leadership of Izzat al-Douri, said that they join the fight against the Western invaders, led by Muammar Gaddafi.

Some clarification about the situation in Libya. First of all anyone familiar with the south and the tribes of the south knows how they react and how seriously they count their pride. Fezzan is steadfast and now we have the rats at the place we needed them to come. (you will understand within the next days what this means) As for Bani walid you know that the rats already abandon their possitions. There is frustration among their ranks, the islamists are giving a big trouble to Mahmoud Jibril rats and mahmoud jibril is trying in coordination with usa to oust the islamists (like the us has done in afganistan they will use them and then throw them away). The big split at the ranks of the rats will be visible after the come back of the meeting of UN. Now as about Sebha, its common thing nato to bomb possitions and then the rats to take a video from empty street or maybe a montage. But sabha is controlled by Libyan army and the tribes of Sabha (except if there is someone so naive to believe the Gaddafa tribe has betrayed Brother leader)
Tommorow admin will visit an area inside the border to be able to make a first hand report.

Update from the heart of events! We walked the desert yesterday with a team of touareg,for security reasons we have no phones and no cameras with us. Touareg elders gave us a statement in which they declare that they will not accept the colonialist crusaders in their lands. In south libya the situation is not as decribed by the media, in many villages where the rats have passed in a driving circus together with some reporters of the west the people have tricked them by waving to them rat flags … and this in purpose to cut their supply lines,nato can bomb but cant find who is who for the moment because we are using a guerilla tactic in order to mix with the rats. We have to declare that in the areas we visited we talked with people that told us that the momentum with NATO bombing gives them this only choise in order to fight, to allow rats to pass without any bullet and then cut the line of them. … We walked behind the so called enemy lines and we have to assure you that there is none to stop us (for security reasons we will not refear to the exact area we visited together with the noble touareg tribesmen). But we have to admit that the media of rats do a great work in order to disinform people and to break the morale of us that were for the last month outside the country. From a call in Tarhouna we learn that there is a big problem for the rats there,our moujaheed attacked them 2 days ago and now the rats are cut in that spot. Also in sirte the rats are beeing killed in mass numbers, as for bani walid the rats seem to have taken the decision not to attack it but to wait for the supplies of the people there to finish , to cause a humanitarian crisis and to get inside but the noble tribesmen have swore loyality and will not allow the situation to reach this point. On the other hand today there is the meeting of the rats in order to make the new NTC and we expect their internal confict in there. From tommorow the page will be updated regurarly again.

Rats have failed to make a goverment so they play the information game and spreading false rumors about the fall of sirte, the truth is that we waited them from west and south from last night so the result is and will be fail. As for sebha: since last night 64 rats dead 200 wounded 7 captured. Tripoli: breaking news there was a huge fight earlier today the tribes tarhouna entered tripoli and killed many rats. Also earlier in the naval base of Tripoli a bombing in naval base has caused panic in the ranks of rats. Brother Seif al Islam Al Gaddafi,spoke to the people through bani alid radio, He declared that Khamis is leading the army in Bani Walid and his father, the leader, is monitoring the fights in a location he isnt mentioned. Soon more suprizes for the rats.

Message From Aisha Qadhafi to Libyan People

To the great people of Libya,

I salute you.

I will not tell you that victory is approaching, but that we live victorious every day for the last 8 months and we are lining up a victory which has never been witnessed in history.

40 countries, with their attacks using planes, missiles and technologies by air and sea and utilizing their agents on the ground. And the Libyan people are still resilient and fighting. I commend these heroes and I congratulate all of the Libyan people, along with your Great Leader, whom I bring relief to you and inform you is currently well. He is well Thank God, and is also faithful to God and remains in high spirits. He bears a weapon and is fighting on the battlefield with his sons, side by side with the Libyan fighters. This is Muammar Gaddafi, putting himself forward to become a fighter and a martyr with his sons.

Compare this sight with that of Qatar with the Prince who presents and puts forward a crown prince who cried like a girl because they were granted the World Cup 12 years from now.

This gives you (the Libyans) the right to be proud of your leader!

Shame and disgrace to the Arab leaders who were swayed and participated in the slaughter of The Libyan People. And it is unfortunate that Arab nations witnessed this slaughter for 8 months and have not flinched nor stood up and risen against it.

But I call on the lions of Tripoli, the lions of Tarhouna, the eagles of Wershifanna, and the lions of Assabia and Mashaseeya and Arshaydat and Ajaylat and Awayell to the Lions of the Ancient city of Sabha to the lions of Sirte, Abusleem and El-Hadhba (All tribes within Libya) and all of the heroes of Tripoli, the resilient. And to all Libyan fighters from the West to the South.

I call on you and I call on you, I call on you, I call on you! (Quoted in a way that a female muslim heroine once was depicted saying it in ancient Islamic battles) Link up! Persevere! Be Patient! Protest! God the holy the merciful said, “If there are 100 perseverient/patient, they will defeat 200 and if there are 1000, they will defeat 2000 and God is with the perseverient/patient.” – Quote from the Quran.

To the silent, I will say to them. What do you have to say about the humiliation that is the new regime, what sort of regime is this? These are familiar faces, which you know very well:
Starting with ABUSHENNA (Mustafa Abdul Jalil) that gave his loyalty and obedience to my Father and betrayed him. Mahmoud Jibril who gave his loyalty and obedience to my brother Saif El-Islam and betrayed him. Shalgam was loyal for 40 years and Betrayed. Trekki the idiot was loyal and obedient for 40 years and betrayed. Ghogha was the captain of the lawyers and loyal and betrayed. Bilhadj who gave an oath and a guarantee and broke it. Others, among others exist. All of these people betrayed and broke their oaths which they gave before, who says they will not break oaths and promises to you?

And to the NATO rebels, if you have any common sense or logic to use …. NATO, who when they wanted to invade Afghanistan and in Iraq, they landed boots on the ground, because they could not find any traitors who were willing to take up arms against their fellow countrymen. Sadly, they found such people within Libya who would take up arms against the chests of their fellow Libyan brothers. This is why I will say there is no god but God, and Muhammad is the messenger of God. Believe in God (Allah), Believe in God (Allah). God (Allah) is all I need. He is the best guardian.

Finally, I would like to quote my brother, who when I asked him to be careful and look after himself on the frontline with his brothers …. I will never forget his words:

“I WILL MAKE A TRAIL WITH OUR BODIES SO THAT THE PEOPLE OF LIBYA CAN WALK ON THEM TO VICTORY.”

To the heroes of Libya, do not disappoint our martyrs. Avenge them, avenge them, avenge them!

“Victory cometh, only an hour’s patience.”

Peace be upon you and the Mercy of Allah and His Blessings.

And here, an interview from Morris with Hawazen Al Jabouri, general manager of Ar Rai TV, the Voice of Arab Resistance

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8537ynJmB_Q?rel=0&w=420&h=315]

Besides broadcasting arab resistance news via satellite, Ar Rai maintains a Facebook page: www.facebook.com/arraichannel

Last entry on Ar Rai’s Facebook page is this fresh and in western media unreported news:

High number of dead and wounded after clashes between the Muslim Brotherhood and Salafist groups and explosions accompanied in Misurata

Update 25. September 2011: NATO propaganda outlets like the Telegraph acknowledge, that the NATO & NTC’s terrorist attack on Sirte was repelled Saturday evening:

‘A day after entering the coastal city in a surprise assault, NTC fighters pulled back on the western side of the town.

“We were ordered to leave downtown Sirte because Nato has a mission to do there. We left after 7pm last night,” front line fighter Ahmed Mohammed Tajuri told AFP.’

Now fighting in the border town Ghadames is reported. NATO’s racist rebels massacred lot’s of innocent Tuareg people and burned the Tuaregs’ houses a couple of weeks ago there, because they hate their dark skin. Surviving Tuaregs fled into the desert, called some friends and now they fight back. French propaganda outlet AFP ackowledges that five of NATO’s racist rebels were killed and 30 more injured. MSNBC writes: “An official from Ghadames, Ali al-Mana, confirmed the attack and said six people were killed and 63 others wounded.”

Update on Sirte: the NATO-led militias spread a rat blood toll figure for their latest failed attack on Sirte: Misrata’s NTC-Commander Osama Muttawa al-Swelhi said “that seven men were killed and 152 wounded, 17 seriously, in Saturday’s fighting. Four of those injured lost limbs and four others had serious head wounds, he said.” Euronews captured yesterday’s war crimes of NATO and their TNC stooges against the population of Sirte on tape and even named these war crimes explicitely: “Libya’s interim government fighters have been bombarding the city of Sirte while NATO warplanes are reported to have carried out bombing raids on the Gaddafi stronghold.” Looks like the censor of Euronews was sleeping.

Update Bani Walid: Al-Khinzeera writes: “Besides Sirte, Bani Walid, where medics say at least 30 NTC troops were killed in the past 24 hours, remains the only other major urban area left under Gaddafi’s control.”

So for Sirte, Bani Walid and Ghadames combined the NATO stooges figure of their succeess on Saturday is: 43 dead NATO stooges and 215 wounded NATO stooges. If it goes on in that speed soon there won’t be any NATO stooges left able to terrorize the Libyan people.

And a goodie at the end today: As some may have heard, the islamic faction of NATO stooges in Libya doesn’t want Mahmoud Jibril, who spent many years in Pittsburgh, USA, to head the executive committee of NATO’s puppet council TNC, because he’s too westernized. So a week ago the islamic rebels council of Misurata put forward a candidacy of Abdul Rahman Swehli from Misrata as replacement for Jibril to counter the westernized puppet candidate. The influential Qatar based Ali Sallabi supports the candidacy as well as other islamic fighters like Abdelhakim Belhaj and Sabri Malek, spokesperson of the London-based “Libyan Democratic Party.” McClatchy yesterday reported what many of his islamic followers in their struggle against the westernization of the Libyan stooges’ council seem not to realize: Abdul Rahman Swehli is a ‘U.S.- and U.K.-trained engineer.’ So the rats’ race for the position of boss of the stooges’ council is made up between Mahmud Jibril, a Pittsburgh educated guy, and Abdul Rahman Swehli, a guy educated in U.S. and UK. Funny choice.

#Key points of the msg. of 20 September 2011, via @al_fatah69

How Freedom* Came to Libya pt 1: How Protest Became War

How Freedom* Came to Libya, part 2: How the Rebels Gave Africa the Boot

After this two part series was done the NATO-rebels liberated Tripoli from it’s black skin part of the population. Here is how that liberation of Tripoli looked like from the NATO-rebels’ perspective of view. Libya : Bataille en Libye Abou Salim Tripoli:

At this moment the NATO-rebels are in the process of “liberating” the cities of Sirt and Bani Walid in the north of Libya and then are planning to do the same to the south of Libya.

Even the TNC, the puppet council for Libya installed by NATO, immediately turned against this obvious attempt to colonize Libya and outrightly rejected the secret UN plan. But of course the colonialists do not care about this rejection. Now it’s important for the war alliance to meet their aim and that is to quickly get lucrative long-term contracts signed by their puppets, so that the aggressors can fill their own pockets with the wealth of Libya. That’s what is was at the beginning and that’s what it is now. And they want to get rid of Muammar Gaddafi and the Green Committee Movement, because this resistance hinders them plundering Libya. Plundering Libya is the goal, this is the reason why they spread these blatant lies to justify waging a war of aggression against Libya based on fictitious facts, and this is the reason why they organized the murderous hunt on people with black skin in Libya. And, of course, now, where they have come this far, the colonialists have no desire to let their lackeys spit them in their soup.

And so, the British colonialist Ian Martin, decorated with a well sounding UN title, nabbed the Finn Georg Charpentier, who seems to be recommendated by shameless lying on Sudan, as his assistant, and then immediately went to Tripoli to prepare for the establishment of a colonial government of NATO, U.S. and EU under the guise of the UN.

As the colonialists are as unpopular as in Tripoli as their TNC puppet council and therefore neither NATO nor their puppets are able to rule over Tripoli let alone Libya, they quietly asked the EU-power Finland to help them out with occupation troops for Libya. From NATO-member state Germany it is known since months that this US-client state said they will constructively examine requests to send German occupation troops to Libya if that request had a UN coat. Now the plan to dispatch a UN occupying force to Libya is obviously ripe for decision.

Voice of America, a government owned mouthpiece of the U.S. empire, announced triumphantly, that the secret British UN plan to send UN occupation forces to Libya was endorsed by their puppet Ban Ki-Moon and was forwarded to be approved by the UN security council. Under the name UNSMIL, the colonialists want to begin with a three month mandate for a small UN sanctioned occupation force, that shall bring the most important contracts to be signed by the colonists’ enterprises and their puppets on the way. After these three months will have passed, the small occupation force shall be replaced by a large UN administration able to subordinate Libya completely and a large military occupation force able to break the resistance of the Libyan people against the recolonization of Africa.

It’s also well known that the main instruments of the US-led regime change operation in Syria are false-flag-terror and lies. It’s well known that terrorists in the service of the U.S. interests get paid to kill security forces and protesters in Syria and satellite channels from the US puppet dictatorships on the arab peninsula pay video artists 100 Dollar per video fabrication to falsely blame the US-led terrorists’ crimes on the Syrian government.

The terrorist ring leaders are now desparate, because the this US-led regime change operation against Syria is bound to fail. Many terrorists were caught by Syrian security, their news fabrications were exposed, the plotters behind the scene as well and their connection to the US and Zionist regime also. So now the paws of the Zionist plot against Syria had to come out, and publicly declared that their goal is to prepare the ground for a NATO war of aggression against Syria with possibly hundred of thousand of deaths.

Todays reading of the CIA-linked US-resident Fethullah Gulen’s Todays Zaman offers an interesting insight into the anti-Syrian propaganda network of lies. Zaman, which is the Turkish Nurcu’s or lighhouse movement’s main English paper, just now runs an article titled “Witness: Syrian civilian killed by snipers after crossing into Turkey.” The source of the article is claimed as “Reuters, Amman” and in the body of the article it is alleged that:

Adelsalam Hassoun, 24, a blacksmith, was killed by army snipers just after he had crossed into Turkey from the village of Ain al-Baida on the Syrian side, his cousin told Reuters by telephone from Syria.

This sentence, claiming a cross border shooting, is exactly designed to build up a case for war. As with the claims of Saddam’s alleged weapons of mass destruction nobody can verify it and nobody can proof that it didn’t happen. However, it’s possible to find out were this claim comes from. It’s interesting enough that news on an alleged event at the Turkish-Syrian border in a Turkish newspaper comes from Amman in Jordan. Even more interesting is that Todays Zaman forgot to copy the byline of Reuters propagandist Khalid Oweis as displayed on Reuters own webpage. And most interesting is to know who is Reuters propagandist Khalid Oweis.

First of all it’s known that Reuters propagandist Khalid Oweis was working in Syria fo a couple of years, but was expelled from Syria in March because he was caught spreading lies and fabrications to incite people in Syria. Second it’s known about Khalid Oweis that he was acting as an almost regular informant of the US embassy in Syria, so that his role in Syria would be better described as a spy of the US government working under the cover of journalism. And third, he was especially spying for the US embassy as a “strictly protected” source on Syrian actions against the secret US regime change network in Syria.

This leads to an interesting question: how does it come that the cousin of a village “blacksmith” has the telephone number of exactly the US “informant” Khalid Oweis in Jordan who is in charge at Reuters of spreading propaganda against Syria? If there was really a phone call, it looks pretty much like that US-led Syrian terrorists get Khalid Oweis number from the US government agency to have a fitting story invented when a terrorist gets caught.

Beside that it’s possible to compare it with a different version of anti-Syrian propaganda from other US propaganda outlets, which obviously didn’t get the same script and draw conclusions on what’s the truth. The Los Angelos Times has obviously a different script for it’s propaganda against Syria, because it shows some 100 Dollar video fabrications and blames all thinkable evils on the Syrian government, but not only forgot to mention the recent victims of the US-led terrorists in Syria, but also forgot to mention a cross border shooting.

So, what does it mean? Reuters and US “informant” Khaled Oweis are caught once more red handed spreading terrorist’s propaganda lies disguised as news to prepare grounds for a war of aggression against Syria.

Wikileaks just published an editorial taking pride of contributing to the US-led series of regime change operations in the arab world publicly known as the “Arab spring.” The terrorists just admitted that their predatory war of aggression against Libya has already cost the life of 50.000 people. Wikileaks did not find a single word of regret for all the black people murdered in Libya by US-led terrorists, but expressed only regret that a recent breach of Wikileaks secrecy publicly exposed US-collaborators.

But the most cynical sentence in Wikileaks’ statement is this one:

Every day that the corrupt leadership of a country or organization knows of a pending WikiLeaks disclosure is a day spent planning how to crush revolution and reform.

A Cryptome Timeline of 19 July 2010 shows, that in July 2010 Wikileaks got the secret US-embassy cables well before July 2010 and the whole world knew it at that time. But instead of publishing the material instantly, Julian Assange decided to hold the cables back until the end of November 2010. Even then Wikileaks did not publish all cables, but only small portions, did led the corrupt propaganda outlets of NATO-countries set the spin for the cables and strictly censored all the names of the collaborators with the global US terror regime.

In the meantime the US-led global terror regime had enough time to plan on how to deal with the leak. In August 2010 Barack Obama signed his secret “Presidential Study Directive 11” in which he ordered all US agencies to prepare for a series of US-led regime changes in the arab world. The US plan was to stage a set of regime changes, switching one corrupt governemnt of US puppets against another regime of US puppets, to mask these US-led regime change operations as spontanous revolutions and to deflect public attention and shame from the most corrupt governemnt in the world: itself.

It is the U.S. goverment which invaded Afghanistan and Iraq, causing the death of millions of innocent people there. It is the U.S. government which based devilishly uses predator drones to more or less randomly kill people in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen. It is the U.S. government who sends special operation forces to perform “kill operations” and has the nerve of calling the rumors to identify targets for the killers “intelligence.” It is the U.S. government which enables the zionist apartheid regime to oppress and slaughter the indigenious population of Palestine. It is the U.S. government which supports all wars of aggresion of the zionist regime against it’s neighbor coutries and shieds the zionist regime from being persucuted for it’s world wide acts of murderous terror. It is the U.S. government which regularly performs regime change operations in the whole world to bring puppet governments to power, which do not serve the interests it’s people but it’s masters in the U.S. The U.S. government does all this for the sake that their banksters and corporations dominate and plunder the world.

The recent most criminal act of the U.S. government was murdering tens of thousands of Libyans and bombing Libya into ashes so that Libya will need it’s financial assets for reconstructing Libya instead of being able to invest it in other African nations to help Africa overcome the neocolonalism of World Bank, IMF and CFA-Franc. And Wikileaks claims to be proud to have assisted the USA with that murderous plunder, censoring it’s cable leak to help the U.S. terror regime to keep it’s collaborateurs secret, so that these U.S. collaborateurs can continue to act as U.S. agents of infuence. But #Fail.

It’s a mistake to trust the U.S. government. The U.S. terror regime is not trustworthy. Not at all. For nothing. Who ever talks to the U.S. govenment and it’s agent of terror in it’s world wide fortresses it calls embassies shall know that now and forever. The Wikileaks cables are out as undeletable Torrent in the internet - uncensored, with all names of US-collaborators exposed, plainly readable in clear lettersf ro everyone.

As debate in the externally-based opposition press and Libya\’s small indigenous elite swirls around proposed wealth distribution, government re-structuring, possible adoption of a constitution and the ostensible withdrawal from politics by presumed heir-apparent Saif al-Islam al-Qadhafi, ordinary Libyans have largely eschewed politics and remained primarily focused on improving their daily standard of living. Khaled Nayyed (strictly protect), son of a prominent businessman and a successful importer of furniture in his own right, recently told P/E Chief that ordinary Libyans had been frustrated by years of sanctions-imposed privations and, more recently, by the disparity between increased availability of consumer goods and their stagnant salaries. Exhausted by years of largely failed political adventurism under the auspices of Muammar al-Qadhafi\’s al-Fateh Revolution and the Jamahiriya (state of the masses), most Libyans do not really care about politics or political reform. \”Do not give us free speech, parties, a constitution or elections - give us the ability to make and freely spend money\”, he said.

While spreading himself the already debunked Hamza-torture-hoax, Ali Abunimah exposed on Electronic Intifada how the anti-Syrian propaganda lie came out of the dark of anonymous internet trolls in various versions incuding the usage of a photo from Egypt to make the fairy tale look more credible and finally CNN presented it to it’s audience as a credible allegation. Mein Parteibuch reported on this anti-Syrian incubator lie and credited the invention of the hoax to anonymous internet postings. One of the many hardly veiled Zionist trolls in the German Heise computer forum was angry with the war propaganda’s failure and alleged, that Mein Parteibuch did not properly investigate the story, because it was, by his account, not anonymous internet trolls spreading it, but an activist with a name: Razan Ghazzawi.

And indeed, besides many anonymous postings there is a Twitter account “RedRazan”, where three days before CNN a woman named Razan Ghazzawi gave credibilty (copy) to the incubator hoax being around already for a week.

Razan Ghazzawi claims in Twitter (copy) that her location is Damascus, Syria, claims to be a feminist and radical leftist, praises anti-nationalism, anti-imperialism and anti-Zionism, and announces a website on her name www.razanghazzawi.com. On that website she calls herself (copy) a “genderqueer” born in the US, calls to boycott zionism, but repeatedly praises (copy) the current Zionist conspiracy against Syria as a “revolution”.

To those, who followed the news in the reccent months, that profile may sound almost like a copy of Tom MacMaster, a 40 year old married US-American man, who posed online as Amina Arraf, “A Gay Girl from Damascus”, and spread fake news of how the Syrian government violated the rights of the fabricated gay girl. So, to see whether Razan Ghazzawi is real or another case of faked identity like “Amina Arraf” it is quite natural to have a look whether - besides an “ArabSpring” online profile from 2007 (copy) and lot’s of blogs (copy) - there exist real people in the world who have met Razan Ghazzawi in real life.

In the case of Razan Ghazzawi, who gave credit to the anti-Syrian incubator lie on Twitter, it’s easy to find people who met her in real life. In Decembre 2009 US-editor of Global Voices Jilian C. York made some photos of Razan Ghazzawi (copy) together with some other people who met in Beirut. See Jilian C. York’s photos of that meeting here (copy), here (copy), here (copy), here (copy), here (copy), here (copy), here (copy), here (copy) and here (copy). It is worth to take a deeper look with whom Syrian blogger turned incubator liar Razan Ghazzawi met back then in Beirut.

Nine months after that meeting, in August 2010, US-president Barack Obama signed his secret “Presidential Study Directive 11“, in which he ordered all US government agencies to prepare for a wave of regime changes in the Middle East and Northern Africa. What is known in the public about this Presidential Study Directive 11 is proof that Barack Obama is either a master of witchcraft or it was him himself, who secretly orchestrated what is known as “arab spring” - calling it leading from behind. And as it happens, many of those people, mainly bloggers, whom Razan Ghazzawi met back in 2009 in Beirut, became well known for their role in these US-led from behind regime change operations.

Here is just a short cut: Tunisian blogger Slim Amamou and Global Voices contributor Lina Ben Mhenni and Tunisian exile in Berlin Sami Ben Gharbia were front figures in the US-led regime change in Tunisia 2011. After the Tunisian regime change Lina Ben Mhenni was regarded as a key person for the Tunisian regime change by German state radio and awarded a prestigious price by German public broadcasting, while Slim Amamou even became Tunisian minister for Sport and Youth. From Egypt there were also figures with leading public roles in the regime change there in 2011, like Noha Atef, Gamal Eid, Eman Abdel Rahman, Ahmed Gharbeia as well as Manal Hassan and her husband Alaa Abd el Fattah. Bahraini Global Voices editor for Middle East and North Africa, Amira al Hussaini, saw her revolution crushed by Saudi Arabia after the US allowed its’s alleys tanks to kill the protestors, but she was rewarded with a position in the jury of the German public broadcaster which awarded the blogging prize to her Tunisian fellow Lina Ben Mhenni. Bahraini participant Hussein Yousef was imprisoned six years ago, while fellow Bahraini activist Ali Abdulemam was imprisoned during the Bahraini uprising, but released and managed to go into hiding before he was sentenced to 15 years prison. From Lebanon there was cartoonist Maya Zankoul, bloggers Jamal Ghosn and Wissam Al-Saliby, activist Rebecca Saade and Layal Kassab, who made quite clear in a blog post after the regime change in Tunisia (copy) that she was heading regime change in ten arabic countries incuding Syria and her home country Lebanon - despite the fact, that Lebanon just had a bloody US-led regime change attempt in 2005 followed by an even bloodier Zionist invasion in 2006. For Iraq there was Salam al-Janabi present, from Saudi Arabia blogger Najla Barasain was there, from Morocco Hisham AlMiraat, US-based Ahmed Al-Omran and Rachid Jankari, for Oman Muawiyah Alrawahi, for Sudan the self-declared “fan of America” (copy) Amir Ahmad Nasr and for Palestine Saed Karzoun and US-expat Ramsey George Tesdell, who is now a Tactical Tech team member (copy). For Syria, besides Razan Ghazzawi, computer experts Bassel Safadi and Britain based Anas Tawileh were there.

Especially interesting is also to see which people attending the meeting don’t fit the term arabic blogger well. From the Qatari dictatorship’s propaganda outlet Al Jazeera online community organzier Muhammad Basheer was there, and more or less in the same direction going, Al Jazeera linked media expert Donatella Della Ratta falls also in the line linking the bloggers up to mass media. Participant David Sasaki from the USA was at the time of the meeting “Director of Outreach” with Global Voices and became later a consultant for the Open Society Institute (copy), which itself is a front of the US-American billionaire, Zionist lobby sponsor and foreign regime change funder George Soros. Security expert Jacob Appelbaum explained bloggers how to keep being anonymous in the internet using Tor and avoid being caught by state security by this. From Poland Marcin Gajewski was there probably teaching participants Tactical Tech’s then newly designed “Ten Tactics” turning information into action. Mauritanian native Nasser Weddady, who grew up in Libya and Syria, but lives in the US, is a director (copy) with the
American Islamic Congress, a US-establishment organization among others funded by US-american notorious rightwing zionist funder Shelly Adelson.

So, what did the arab bloggers do on that US-led blogger meeting in Beirut in December 2009? As the published programm of the “Second Arab Bloggers’ Meeting” reveals, the participating arab bloggers got interrupted by some lectures 20 “Training Sessions.” The photos reveal what was the training about: running a “Consortium for Camel Rights”, creating a “Tripoli 2011 Faux-Campaign”, a “Pro-Sex Education Faux Campaign”, a “Pro-Wasta-Campaign”, “Funding Transparency” and training a “Press Conference” for example. It looks pretty much like what the regime change specialists of George Soros’ funded Otpor turned Canvas trained people to prepare the regime changes in the arab world like they did it in many other places not liked by the US before, and which manifested in 2011 in Tunisia and Egypt. It’s all about training bloggers to incite people to instigate regime change in their arab home countries, to start with whenever the U.S. likes to pull off such a regime change campaign. The official report of the meeting states in it primary headline, that it’s helping arab bloggers in a fight “Bloggers versus Regimes”. Razan Ghazzawi who gave the anti-Syrian incubator lie credibility, was not just a participant, she herself lectured a then recently by her commented (copy) study “Mapping the Arabic Blogosphere“, which was conducted by the zionist US Harvard university. That study contains in great detail social and preferences data of arab bloggers relevant for US policy collected in a work lasting over a year, summing blogs up into categories like supportive or critical to the U.S., and supportive or critical to Israel, but also gave a lot hints on which domestic social topics successful online regime change campaigns in arab countries could be built and which mass media are crucial for the campaign. Such in depth socio structural research and analyis is the data basis for US-designed regime change campaigns. After all the training sessions, one of the lcore points at the beirut meeting was the “Ten Tactics turning information into action” as outlined by “Tactical Tech” in a poster listing many of the successful and unsuccesful US-led regime change attempts of the past years dubbing them revolutions. Currently “Tactical Tech” is working on training young people (copy) in a militant astroturfed front calling themselves VotoJoven on how to effectively undermine the US-hated democratically elected - and supported by countless naturally grown activist movements - leftist Venezuelan government preparing for the 2012 elections there.

Finally, a quick look to how the Beirut meeting was likely funded. For Tactical Tech, eyecatching regarding it’s funding areth the governments of the NATO member countries Netherlands and Canada through GONGOs called HIVOS and IDRC, and George Soros’ Open Socity Institute. The Arabloggers meeting in Beirut 2009 was according to it’s website (copy) financed by the German NATO friendly party “The Greens” via their goverment funded “Heinrich Boell Foundation”, which also supported the bloody anti-chinese turmoil in it’s Xizang province back in 2008, and proudly notes the “support from HIVOS and the Open Society Institute.”

After the regime change in Tunisia the US-led propaganda easily convinced most people that the US-led regime change was a genuine indigene revolution. It needed to have a close look to see that the revolution was in fact a US-backed coup by the Chief of Staff of the Tunisian Armed Forces, Rachid Ammar, to that US-trained bloggers gave cover, and where in the background organisations funded by the US-government and George Soros like “Freedom House” worked hard, of which George W. Bush’s zionist “Deputy National Security Advisor for Global Democracy Strategy” Elliott Abrams knew in advance and to what Scott Carpenter, Bush’s point man for the MEPI program said, they had done “a lot of stuff very, very quietly – not to say covert, but very quietly.” Don’t get it wrong. That what happened in Tunisia after the slap that didn’t happen was more a US-led coup than a revolution doesn’t mean that it should not be greeted warmly for the sake of the people there or that election results may become somewhat different from what the US hoped for. It just means to see the world in a bit more realistic way than being just eating the propaganda being fed by the chorus of Al Jazeera and NATO mass media.

Though in Egypt mass media like Al Jazeera and propaganda outlets in NATO countries took over the role to amplify bloggers’ and activists’ statements, the general proceding of the US-led coup in Egypt was quite similar to what happened in Tunisia. The start call for regime change came from Esraa Abdel Fattah, a prize winner of “Feedom House” in 2010 (copy), she was working for the Egyptian Democratic Academy, an NGO financed by the German pro-US GONGO “Friedrich Nauman Foundation for Freedom”, and like Asmaa Mahfouz she was a founder of an Egyptian NGO backed with US-led regime change training called “April 6th Youth Movement.” After protests draw many people to the street and gave thereby a credible cover, defense minister Muhammad Hussein Tantawi and Chief of General Staff Sami Hafez Annan, who just in time came back from high level talks in the USA, staged a coup, which was backed up by aircraft carrier USS Enterprise and other US-warships, and completed the regime change in Egypt. Again, that what happened in Egypt was more a US-led coup than a revolution doesn’t mean that it should not be greeted warmly or that results will not be completely different from what the US regime change masters hoped for.

When the people of Jordan, Oman and Morocco, three notorious US-client states, get a higher level of people’s participation in government affairs and a better situation with human rights due to protests, than it could be greeted warmly, too. For Bahrain applies the same, only the U.S. changed it’s attitude there before the regime change was completed. If the people in Bahrain manage to get a regime that is not a sectarian monarchy, but an inclusive one the people aspire for, that could only be greeted warmly, too. But in Bahrain the U.S. showed their true face of double standards, revealed their true imperialist intententions and aborted their Barhaini regime change plans for the sake of oil and maintaining an occupying military base. So the USA gave green light to their Saudi allies crash in Bahrain a completely peaceful uprising for democracy, much of it led by US-trained activists, with brute military force.

In Yemen, another US-client state, it would be fine, if the people get a government they like more, too. But there the US-led attempt to overthrow the government with a soft coup has led to many deaths. The situation the U.S. created there looking almost like a civil war. So, the results in Yemen could be called an unintentional failure by the U.S. of not taking into account the risks of pulling of such an operation in a regionally devided country and a tribal society.

Completely different fom what was going on in Tunisia and Egypt is what the US is doing in Libya and Syria. While the USA in Tunisia and Egypt took own their own puppet regimes to replace them against something nice because they were seen as a burden for the image of the U.S. in the middle east, in Libya and Syria the US is attacking resisting governments with regime change attempt to replace governments of resistance with US controlled zionist puppet regimes. It looks like doing regime change in Libya and Syria has been pretty much a condition to get the support for taking down devout zionist puppets in Tunisia and Egypt. The consequences are grave. While bringing down US puppet regimes could be relatively easy done by using military relations to stage a coup, trying regime change where the resistance governs amounts to an act of war.

And that what the U.S. and it’s alleys planned for from the beginning on in Libya: a war of aggression using the previous coups in Tunisia and Egypt masked as a “revolutionary arab spring in the fight for democracy” and bloggers as propaganda cover to hide the imperialist and zionist nature of the predatory war of aggression against Libya. The propaganda campaign based on mass lies and complete fabrications to mask the CIA-led murderous violence against state security and black people in the east of Libya as kind of a civil struggle like in Tunisia and Egypt was so successful that even some leftist bloggers bought into the propaganda claims, and that while beside the Libyan governments the left governments hated by the USA such as these of Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela made it clear from the beginning, that the USA, NATO and the Persian gulf dictatorships were building the case for a fascist war against the socialist African revolutionaries governing Libya.

For Syria the US regime change experts planned a false flag terror campaign to tarnish the image of the popular president Bashar al-Assad of socialist Syria, modelled after the Mossad-led “green campaign” against Iran in 2009. While the Mossad-led colored revoution attempt for regime change miserably failed, Israel was quite satisfied with that it managed to tarnish the image of Iran in the arab world with operations like the false flag murder of Neda Soltani, riots in the streets of Tehran instigated by zionist propaganda and mass arrests of murderous gangs called by zionist propaganda networks and TV channels of Persian gulf dictatorships “peaceful protesters”.

The zionist-led plot against Syria works in a similar way. What was the false stories about Neda Soltani for the propaganda campaign against Iran, was the false case of Hamza Al-Khatib for the propaganda campaign against Syria. National and international people who didn’t understand that it was murderous propaganda, bought into the fake story distributed by zionist and gulf dictatorship propaganda channels, and so the campaign got fuel. The leaders of the zionists and the gulf dictatorships know, that it is highly unlikely that they will manage with their terror to stage a regime change in Syria, because the popular Syrian president Bashar al-Assad has just too many followers in Syria. But with fabricated propaganda and murderous crimes blamed falsely on the Syrian government they may manage to tarnish the image of the Syrian government in other arab countries and the Western world, and that they would see already a success, for that the Syrian form of a responsible secular government will less likely to serve as a model for zionist client dictatorships like Saudi Arabia in the future then.

To tarnish the image of Syria in the arab world, that is the reason why the USA covertly financed anti-Syrian propaganda networks fabricating anti-Syrian news and videos through the MEPI programm with millions of Dollars. To cover the traces directly linking to the United States the US state department set up their propaganda networks against Syria in European countries like Great Britain. And to get some input for their propaganda campaign they trained bloggers critical to their government, so that whenever a blogger unwittingly spreads a hoax or says something critical against the Syrian government, the US-led propaganda networks can amplify it and make a big propaganda story from fake news and blogger opinions critical to the government.

To bring emotionalization into the propaganda the zionist masters of the psychological warfare need bloodshed. So in Libya and in Syria they paid wahhabi terrorists to kill ordinary people and security personal alike, cut them into pieces, and then falsely blame the secular state security of the target countries to have committed these horrible crimes. All what NATO countries propaganda outlet then need to spread the most absurd lies like an incubator lie as news is a blogger or self-styled human right activist from the target country confirming the lie as credible. That’s what they did with Iran in 2009, and that’s what they do now with Syria and Libya. Such things zionist bosses Elliott Abrams really mean when they speak about the design of a campaign of psychological warfare against Syria.

It is fine to promote bloggers rights and potentials around the world. But what went on in Beirut 2009 was something different. It was preparing the misuse of arab bloggers as uninformed pawns in bloody US-led plots to advance the interests of zionism and US-imperialism. While blogger communities are collectively a small force in a nonviolent struggle for civil rights, the USA pulled the strings from behind and used the cover of civil rights bloggers to perform strategic regime change operations, bloodshed of a large scale, giving cover to of US-led millitary coups in Tunisia and in Egypt, a predatory war of aggression against Libya, spreading a civil war in Yemen and weakening Syria with terror, a main haven of resistance against zionism. All those pro-human-rights bloggers like Razan Ghazzawi - who probably don’t understand how they are misused in this dirty US-led game - shoud just remember, that in countries where the U.S. don’t want any regime change - like in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia -, the USA betrayed the civil right bloggers trained by themselves in the most brutal form.

Here is some pictures of what Cynthia McKinney compiled.

Unlike western mass media, the mass media from Serbia which was victim to a NATO war of aggression in 1999, is willing to tell the world the story of the war from the perspective of the Libyan side. Here is a report from Serbian TV with English subtitles with pictures hidden by western mass media.

Part 1:

Part 2:

There exists also videos from NATO’s recent bombing of the oil installations of Brega, a NATO attack on civilians and civilian infrastructure in Libya, which British Rear Admiral Russ Harding confessed to have been deliberate. Here are some pictures of the oil installations burning after being bombed by NATO.

Here are some pictures of what remained from oil workers in Brega after NATO bombed them.

After all the horror of the crimes of NATO and NATO backed contras here are finally some pictures from normal day life in Tripoli yesterday:

Finally, Franklin Lamb transmitted some pictures from what Tripoli looked like today:

Like in Serbia, NATO commits it’s crimes in Libya with total impunity. There is simple no one who can punish neither NATO’s outrageous crimes against Libya’s civilians nor the most serious crime of all - as it was defined in Nuremberg: the crime of waging a war of aggression. Obama, Sarkozy, Cameron, they all commit their heinous crimes with total impunity. Not even Rear Admiral Russ Harding was arrested so far.
