Precisely as we predicted last month, NATO forces and their Al-Qaeda backed rebels launched a massive assault on Tripoli in order to wrap up the looting and conquest of Libya in time for crucial talks at the UN on Palestinian statehood set to begin in less than two weeks.
On July 8th in an article entitled, U.S. Wants Gaddafi Toppled By September, we reported, “The United States and France have set a deadline of September 2nd to topple Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, with NATO powers ready to inflict a crushing blow if Gaddafi refuses to step down peacefully.”
That crushing blow is now in full effect as reports circulate of well over a thousand dead with thousands more wounded during weekend battles, led by by NATO warships and fighter jets as part of “Operation Mermaid Dawn,”which led to the capture of Gaddafi’s sons as Gaddafi himself reportedly went into hiding.
RAF fighter jets were deployed to attack key regime targets while the media pretended the whole assault was an organic uprising by the Libyan people, endlessly replaying footage of celebrating crowds.
In another report published on July 15, we stated that NATO powers and the rebel army would launch a final bombardment of Tripoli within 6-8 weeks if Gaddafi refused to step down, which is exactly what unfolded just shy of 6 weeks later.
Barack Obama and David Cameron are now busy milking the spectacle with tough talk as if they led the assault personally. In reality, the conquest of Libya represents little more than another act of colonial looting on behalf of the NATO war machine, with Syria the next target in its cross hairs.
The war was launched, with the gleeful support of the western corporate media, on the hoax that Gaddafi’s government was slaughtering “protesters” en masse. In reality, these “protesters” had commandeered military tanks and fighter jets. For weeks, the establishment press re-branded what was a civil war as a brutal series of crimes against humanity by Gaddafi’s regime, just long enough for the United Nations to pass a “no fly zone” resolution that instantly turned into a massive NATO bombardment overnight.
Global central banks will now get to carve up Africa’s most oil-rich nation while simultaneously divvying up around 144 tons of gold bullion – which might go some way to repaying Hugo Chavez after his announcement that Venezuela is to nationalize its precious metals industry. Unless of course Chavez becomes the next head on the chopping block for another “humanitarian intervention”.
The attack on Libya, spearheaded by Obama without Congressional approval, against the advice of his own constitutional lawyers, and on a promise that the conflict would last “days not weeks,” was a brazen illustration of how the so-called “war on terror” was a cruel hoax.
From the very beginning, and in violation of their own resolution, NATO powers armed, funded and trained Al-Qaeda militants who had killed U.S. troops, setting them up to command the rebels in the march towards Tripoli. As the Wall Street Journal reported in a piece entitled, Ex-Mujahedeen Help Lead Libyan Rebels, Al-Qaeda terrorists who worked directly for Bin Laden were tasked with recruiting, training and acting as front line field commanders for the rebel army.
The entire scope of the war was about capturing Libya as another launch pad for further empire building in the Middle East and north Africa, which is why PNAC neo-cons ordered “Peace Laureate” Obama to do it in the first place. The conquest was about securing the richest oil resources in the whole of Africa, it was about stealing 6 billion dollars in gold reserves, and it was about putting a halt to China’s efforts to virtually re-colonize Africa.
Although Gaddafi was obviously an autocratic dictator, he did reinvest much of Libya’s oil wealth back into the country, transforming it into one of the most well-developed nations in the whole region, which is why a lot of the middle classes in major cities retained their support for the Libyan leader.
All that is set to change now that NATO forces and the central banks that stand behind them will finally get the opportunity to properly plunder Libya for all it has. Living standards will plummet, corrupt strong men will take control with globalist blessings and run the country into the ground for their own good, so long as they allow NATO and US air force bases to be constructed throughout the land.
Save for any last minute counter-attack by Gaddafi forces, the globalist war machine can now focus on toppling its next domino on the road to world domination. Rest assured, whether its Syria, Iran, Pakistan or anywhere else, a suitable hoax will be invented as a pretext for invasion and the western establishment media will slavishly create the perfect narrative for a bloody assault disguised as a humanitarian outreach.

While I won’t shed one tear for Gaddafi, if I had to shed a tear it would be for the Libyan people who will find themselves with one dictator replacing the other.
The only difference to them is to whom their dictator is beholden.
The end of Gadhafi regim was decided by the Lybian rebells ( 80% of the population ) and supported by the Arab league itself.
So, to those who talk about an “attack from Nato or from racists people” : stop spreading this kind of news please : is Obama a white racist man ?
You all must understand that dictatorships have no place in this world ; 42 years in power isn’t enough ?
Hope the next ones to be thrown out are Chavez and Castro.
great great great. a commentary speaking the truth. from some of the comments on dno i was beginning to think all dominicans were a lost cause and brainwashed by the west.this gives me hope
Good Article Paul
OBSERVERDO;
THANK you
All leaders, no matter how long they have been in power have their supporters and detractors and Muammar al Gaddafi is no exception. In any country, the masses of people can have many valid and legitimate grievances against their government.
Libya, with the largest oil reserves in Africa and the ninth largest in the world has been a big prize for western oil giants because of the quantity and particularly the quality of Libyan oil.
After George W Bush lifted economic sanctions in 2004 and Gaddafi allowed the western owned oil giants back into Libya, the US government was furious to learn that Gaddafi was attempting to limit the powers and profits of those oil companies.
One Wikileaks released State Department cable from November 2007 (Wikileaks reference ID 07TRIPOLI967) talks about the growing evidence of Libyan “resource nationalism” by the Gaddafi government. The US and British governments employed similar language against the Iranian Prime Minister, Dr Mohammad Mossadegh who was overthrown by a CIA led coup that restored the Shah to the throne. It allowed the US and British oil companies to retake ownership over Iran’s oil until the 1979 revolution.
The same cable refers to a speech made by Gaddafi in 2006 in which he said: “Oil companies are controlled by foreigners who have made millions from them, now Libyans must take their place to profit from this money.”
Another Wikileaks released State Department Cable from Jan 30th 2009 (Wikileaks reference ID 09TRIPOLI71) discusses a January 2009 speech by Gaddafi stating “Muammar Al-Qadhafi suggested that Libya and other oil exporting states could nationalise their oil production in view of sharply plummeting petroleum prices.”
The Wikileaks released State Department cables make it clear that the basis for US hostility to the Gaddafi regime was about who should control Libya’s vast oil reserves, Libya or western capitalist oil enterprises.
For most Africans, Gaddafi is a generous man known for his support for the struggle against the racist regime in South Africa.
A long time backer of the African Union and a forceful advocate of stronger integration across the African continent he used billions of Libyan money to assist those in Africa and the Caribbean.
At the second Afro-Arab summit he apologised for the participation of some Arabs in the slave trade and urged the Arab world to ‘recognise this issue, denounce it vigorously and place it in its true dimension.”
The US$30 billion frozen by President Obama belongs to the Libyan Central Bank and was earmarked as the Libyan contribution to three key projects, the African Investment Bank in Syrte, Libya; the establishment in 2011 of the African Monetary Fund to be based in Yaounde, Cameroon, and the African Central Bank to be based in Abuja, Nigeria, which would have finished off the CFA franc through which France has been able to maintain a strangle-hold on some African countries for the last fifty years.
Before France conceded to demands for independence from fourteen of its former African colonies, it set up a common currency for them called the CFA franc and obligated those colonies to put 65% of their foreign currency reserves into the French Treasury, plus another 20% for financial liabilities which means these African countries have access to only 15% of their own money.
Furthermore, France has the first right to buy or reject any natural resource found in any CFA member country.
The countries bombing Libya have one thing in common, they are virtually bankrupt and if the CFA franc ceased to exist, France would be plunged into anarchy and chaos.
It has been said that after Libya the ‘western coalition’ will go after Algeria because apart from its huge resources, the country has cash reserves of around 150 billion.
If you think the NATO intervention is about facilitating the ‘Arab Spring’ in Libya ( actually, Libya is in Africa and not the Middle East) or to support the “will of the Libyan people” as stated by British Prime Minister David Cameron, think again.
GO TO SOMALIA.
THEY DONT HAVE OIL OR GOLD( AT LEAST NONE DISCOVERED YET)
GO TO SOMALIA WITH FOOD AND WATER.
WHAT KIND O POPAGANDA NONESENSE ARTICLE IS THAT?
correction: PROPAGANDA
Thats part of the New World Order people. People its obvious, the western world and its allies are at their best trying to dismantle OPEC. They see that OPEC is a cartel who controls world’s black gold, so its an attempt to have everything in their grip. People, u need to open ur eyes, find exactly whats going on. read about the new world order,Gildenberg, UN, Freemason, Lodge, Rockefellers, The Iluminaty. See who is behind the curtain.See who wants to control the world,control the worlds wealth, the worlds most important source of energy,crude. Investigate how the USA indermines countries, assassinate leaders, destroys economies. See Zeitgist Moving Forward.
SOME OF US ARE DONT CARE OF THE LESSONS THAT HISTORY HAS LEFT BEHIND, HENCE WE BECOME PRONE TO BE REPEATED VICTIMS OF CIRCUMSTANCES.
THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE NATO AGENDA SEEM LEGIT BUT WHENEVER IT COMES TO AFRICA, WE PREFERE TO WAIT AND SEE.
WE ADVISE TO FOLLOW UP ON THEIR PRESENCE AFTER THE MILITARY TAKE OVER AND THEN WE WILL TRULY OVERSTAND THEIR AGENDA.
INSPITE OF THE PROGRESS THE LYBIAN PEOPLE MADE DURING THE GADAFFI REIGN, THE ISSUE OF PEOPLE’S INVOLVEMENT IN MATTERS OF GOVERNANCE WILL ALWAYS BRING CONTENTION.
GADAFFI’S REGIME SHOULD HAVE FACILITATED A SMOOTHER AND FASTER EVOLUTION INTO DEMOCRACY TO AVOID THIS NATO REVOLUTION.
THIS IS THE STRAW THAT BROKE THE BACK OF THE LYBIAN AUTHORITY.
MISTAKE….SOME OF US DONT CARE
Please use lower cases, writing all in Caps don’t utter well for reading!!
Thank you!
Good…… all for each and each for all. democracy.
That commentary is nothing but sheer propaganda at its best…Very inaccurate and erroneous….Downright insulting and undermining the intelligence of Dominicans.
Dont’ swallow the propaganda.Look at, and listen to the facts, and make a rational assessment based upon the facts.
All the best… and…Peace Profound to all.
Tell us the so-called FACTS if you have them! emancipate yourself from mental slavery, sir!!!
maybe you would like to enlighten us then…
Interesting DNO_ The people of Libya are celebrating their freedom from a despot and you choose to publish this garbage instead? Shame on you! I know you will not publish that, but shame on you all the same.
To No hogwash
It is sad when people like you do not know the difference between propaganda and truth
when it is presented to you. You are the one that should be ashamed of your self for throwing your commonsense to the wind referring to people shown celebrating freedom from a depot. Don’t you understand in war Pictures and Television footage are a great tool used for propaganda. Do you think the overthrow of Gaddafi will make the lives of those celebrating better come the next few moths and years. It seems you do not pay attention to history and world affairs. Pity you in your ignorance.
To every action there is a reaction and if that is true and what the writer say is true can he then explain why is it that these head of states seems to be putting themselves in that dictatorial position for so long that there seem to be logical cause to have them remove even by there own people. After 40 years or 30 years is it that difficult to believe that people living in those country are actually fed up and want a change?
colonel Qaddafi was not removed by his own people / he was removed by the outside forces of NATO aided and abetted by others. the so-called rebels inside libya were mere pawns in a much larger conspiracy .
To Good ways
It seems that you clearly do not understand what is going on. First off Gaddafi was not removed by his own people as you want to believe. The removal of Gaddafi was spear headed by NATO with their Superior Air Force. Now you mentioned that Gaddafi was in Power for 40 years and Dictatorial, well what about the Rulers of Saudi Arabia, why they to are not removed, the Royal Family has been ruling that Country much more longer than Gaddafi, and are they not Dictatorial.
In the Game of international Politics things are done not what is right or wrong as we would all like to believe but is done for interest, power,and money. Justice honesty and integrity are thrown out the window. There is a difference between what you think it is and what it is. We live in this world and know nothing about international Politics, yes we my have our opinions and beliefs but they mean nothing to the people that orchestrate our affairs behind the scene.
What crap!
To Cyril Voloney
The recipe for perpetual ignorance is be satisfied with your opinions and content with your knowledge. What makes you think this commentary Crap.
At least I do not hide who I am…., and if you need an explanation for my comment, you need help!
@Zandoli.It sounding like u wrote that piece,u also copied it word for word from the comminist properganda bible.lol
correction (communist)
Its a very interesting perspective and although there are a few points that may need clarification and justification it is an interesting viewpoint. We do need to be balanced in our comments and listen to the other side of the story. An interesting book i would like everyone writing comments to read is “Confessions of an economic Hitman”. Time will tell what is going to happen.
Peace and Love
It’s amazing how western governments have a knack for turning people in other courtries, against themselves.
Don’t you wonder who will truly benefit?
According to a Western Journalist:
‘The Nubians and Negros of other Africa countries, who were living in Libya before the upheaval began, were supposedly treated fairly by the Gaddafi government’. ‘The same favourable treated was extended to the European workers who were working and living lavish lifestyles there’.
So, I am given to thinking that if the opposition gains a strong hold on Libya, certain people may be treated less favourably.
THE CHINESE I HOPE
Good move Obama, i will vote u again
These imperialists never learn. They transported hundreds of shipments, (galleons), of gold from the Americas to Europe. While the Spaniards, British and French attempted to exterminate the Aztecs, Mayas, Incas and other tribes from Mexico, Peru, Guatemala and other parts of North, Central and South America, they plundered all the gold and other mineral resources.
Despite all the stolen gold and centuries of slavery, Spain and the rest of the European Union are in economic turmoil. The USA is also in economic turmoil, despite its tremendous wealth. That wealth is controlled by the top 2% of the population. We may soon see the downfall of the “economic dictators”; the conglomerates; the monopoly capitalists. The writing is on the wall. It’s just a matter of time before Babylon falls.
Gaddafi was, undoubtly, a dictator who dominated Libya for 42 years. He handed the imperialists the pretext they needed to topple him.The imperialists do not tolerate regimes that nationalize their resources, deprive their citizens basic human rights and the means to choose their elected officials.
The British ruled India, Pakistan and Afghanistan for centuries and look what mess they left. They armed and trained the Mujahedeen Talibans in Afghanistan. Now the Taliban terrorizes NATO. The Europeans destroyed, divided and plundered Sub-Sahara Africa. Now they want to divert the attention of their people to the oil-rich nations of the Middle East. But, try as they may, no patch work will rescue capitalism. The dollar must die and the fall of Babylon is inevitable.
Correction:undoubtedly.
It’s so amazing. Most Dominicans talk as if they know so much about world issues. The average Dominican is just insignificant, gullible,swell-headed, narrowminded, dotish, uneducated, parasitic,ungrateful,selfish,deceiptful…….
truly pathetic
How can you “Zandoli” makes such a irresponsible statement…”The average Dominican is just insignificant”?..really?.
In my humble opinion,that is a very demeaning, and derogatory statement to make about your fellow Dominicans….It sickens me to see how low you stooped to insult, belittle and ridicule your fellow Citizens…
Frankly,it’s downright despicable and appalling. You should apologize for what you said,because those things were not very nice to say….
I do hope you reconsider…Even if you disagree with someone,or some People,you don’t have to insult them in that manner,especially your Countrymen;and over the Internet…We can agree to disagree more amicably.
What or who were you defending anyway?…The writer?….Can’t you see that he is insulting the intelligence of Dominicans?….That was all propaganda, and propaganda at its best, man. There were lots of inaccuracies in his commentary.
I am quite sure that he thinks like you do about Dominicans,otherwise he would never have this garbage published on D.N.O.
I have to question both his and D.N.O’s motive. I do not believe he is a Dominican,you on the other hand are. And that’s why I am very disappointed.
One of the things I don’t like is the lack of respect that we tend to exhibit toward each other……
Thank you very much….and…All the best to you….
Profound Peace!…..
The REBEL!!.
WAIT! I THOUGHT TONY SAID HE WASN’T COMING BACK ON DNO?
…BECAUSE ALL DEM INSULTS SOUNDING LIKE TONY TO ME
a bit messed up when it’s all heaped up like that but those words quite accurately describe most dominicans. lol
this writer dont know what he
talking about
To DA man
If someone writes something which differs from your accepted view of the world and politics why would you characterize that person as not knowing what he is talking about isn’t that blatant ignorance on your part. I would like to hear your written view on the topic since you seem to know.
well gary if u know so you would know what this guy wrote is a lot of lies
I don’t know where this story is coming from but it is in total contrast to what we are observing from live reports coming from Tripoli right now. This sounds very much like a bad “spin”, possibly in preparation for the fact that the new Libyan Govt. will find the treasury empty when they finally get to it. Would it not be more likely that Col. Gaddafi and his cohorts would have spirited away any treasure to ensure they can continue their life style in exile, should their regime fall and they are lucky enough to escape? Do you believe implicitly everything that is written? Who is Paul Joseph Watson? Does he really exist?
I for one, will await further developments and make up my own mind.A good dose of scepticism is good for your health!
obviously this is a bias piece of reporting to be truely informed read the history books do research and listen to the voice of the masses on Cnn and algerzera and get the facts. the above atticle mentioned benefits to the middle classes only. we as a people must learn to inform ourselves
…voice of the masses on CNN? Are you for real?
man don`t make people laugh at you!CNN? AL JAZEERA?
it seems some man have satellite dish on their head and doh need no outside input everyting that happening in the world just popping up in their head like facebook. u doh listening to no cnn or al jezzra or bbc or fox. i wonder if u listening to kairi and dbs cause it seems all news media full of propaganda dem times dere. an u even want to laugh people my bro?lol
some people only like the news when it saying what they want to hear u must be one of them.lol
Paul Watson i am 100% with you!!!!!!
This clarly a jaundiced view of someone who does not reflect the view of the global commnity. NATO looting libyan gold? How much more ridiculous can can this writer be? Is he not aware of the greater narrative of the Arab Spring of which Libya is only a single front?
Presumably his conspiracy theory would lead the writer to posit that the entire liberation effort of the Arab Spring was engineered by the CIA and executed by Nato. I am not surprised if this fantasy takes root in Dominica where many of Qadaffi’s tactics are practiced with impugnity.
“I am not surprised if this fantasy takes root in Dominica where many of Qadaffi’s tactics are practiced with impugnity.”
Observer: It is statements like this that confirms what people such as zandoli is saying, that idiots like you will continue to put out false propaganda out there to fool the masses just as the western media houses like FOX News, CNN and the like are doing. I really feel sorry for you. Your brains is in need of some purging.
DOWN WITH ALL OPPRESORS.
Finally the truth is being spread. Skeptics observe. You may choose not to believe , but the time will come when the true nature of the world’s major organizations come to light. By that time though, i fear it may be too late to do anything about it.
“Save for any last minute counter-attack by Gaddafi forces, the globalist war machine can now focus on toppling its next domino on the road to world domination. Rest assured, whether its Syria, Iran, Pakistan or anywhere else, a suitable hoax will be invented as a pretext for invasion and the western establishment media will slavishly create the perfect narrative for a bloody assault disguised as a humanitarian outreach”
My Brother aren’t you scared you are writing this? This is Sacrilegious!!!!
I’m assuming this is something the Caribbean Bloc headed by our current PM will enjoy reading… after all, they just recently pledged their support to the Brother Leader. As they say, it takes all kinds to make this world go round.
Conspiracy writing at its best…
Wondering why this clearly unpopular view is the only one published for this hugh international story?
To Tobefair
Your comment about why this unpopular view, shows how little you are willing to understand the world you live in but readily to accept the mainstream news as facts and believe what they report to you, very sad keep living in a fantasy world of being feed fairy tails.
Finally here we see a decent piece of reporting.
an allyu vex about linton an talking about objectivity?lol
