Colonel Muammar Gaddafi died after being stabbed with a bayonet in the anus and not in a firefight as originally claimed by Libyan authorities, according to a report on the Libyan dictator's last hours.

Two Nato missiles forced the group to leave the cars and escape on foot, seeking shelter in a drainage ditch. A bodyguard hurled grenades at approaching militiamen but one grenade "hit the concrete wall and bounced back to fall between Muammar Gaddafi and Abu Bakr Younis", Younis junior said.

"The shrapnel hit my father and he fell down to the ground. Muammar Gaddafi was also injured by the grenade, on the left side of his head," he said.

New York-based Human Rights Watch said Gaddafi was already bleeding from head wounds caused by blast shrapnel as he tried to flee Sirte, his hometown.

The charity obtained unedited mobile footage that showed militia fighters abusing Gaddafi as they took him into custody in October 2011.

"As he was being led on to the main road, a militiaman stabbed him in his anus with what appears to have been a bayonet, causing another rapidly bleeding wound," the report said.

I watched it in real time, it was absolutely horrific. We wouldn't allow a rabid dog to be put to death this way. If I saw it, anyone who was part of it certainly knew just as much as I did.

Rabid dogs aren't Dirty Brown People With Oil. Learn the difference and you'll feel a lot better about supporting Madame Secretary if she wins.

I just absolutely hate what's been done to so many countries and innocent people around the world. I'm a supporter of Bernie Sander's supporters.

I have two brothers that had their bags packed and ready to move to your country during Vietnam. Thank you again!

but I hope your brothers made out ok.

Luckily, the war ended before they were drafted and they both ended up in the Navy as volunteers and myself in the Army. That's what poor people do in this country instead of dying of starvation or some illness we can't get medical attention for. We join the military where we know we'll be fed, clothed and receive some medical care as long as it isn't too expensive. THEN we can die in a war! That's much better.

Especially needless, lying wars to benefit those who have it all already using innocents who have no choice in where they're sent or what they'll be doing. It's completely horrifying to me.

I hope you're all doing ok!

And I agree with you 100%.

into Canadian politics. I don't care what foreigners think of ours. No offense but.................

suffering who are not in the U.S. I have every right to poke my opinions into anything concerning them.

About this post.....needs to leave.

Germany and who else? Add oil to the filter and none. You may not like my language, it IS disgusting and that's the point. It's our foreign policy.

Of which I was #6.

As I said there, that it perhaps should have been noted as sarcasm, for the sarcastically impaired. Thanks for proving me right.

He was horrible beyond words but that does not excuse what was done to him.

... would know what a vile human being he was. If she laughed, it was probably out of relief and empathy that such an evil man was killed. The way he was killed reflects the anger directed against him. His death was a victory against Fascism.

I suppose we should be equally disgusted at the Italian Fascists who killed Mussolini and then strung him up to celebrate.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Benito_Mussolini

The bodies of Mussolini and Petacci were taken to Milan and left in a suburban square, the Piazzale Loreto, for a large angry crowd to insult and physically abuse. They were then hung upside down from a metal girder above a service station on the square.

Just like we should hold our own soldiers responsible for their disgusting acts of brutality in a court of law as opposed to spitting on them. It's called being civilized and resisting the temptation to sink to the same level as the dirt we're supposedly better than. Apparently you feel differently. How about we bring back the stockades in the public square? Public stoning? Public hangings? Only for the worst criminals, of course, because we're civilized.

They laugh because they lack empathy. No matter what he did, her cackling like she did was creepy and pathological.

Qadaffi was a horrible man. Many of those who lost loved ones in 9/11 surely expressed great joy the day bin Laden was killed. I don't know how many victims of Qadaffi Hillary met, but I think it's also a lack of empathy to fail to consider why someone might actually be joyful of the death of someone else. I think anyone who has sat with victims of terrible abuse feels a sense of happiness when the situation is resolved even if the abuser dies.

I'd never, ever laugh to see my abuser sodomized with a bayonet in the street, tortured and murdered. That would literally make me ill and give me nightmares for the rest of my life.

I've found out that so many of the charges against Gaddafi were proven to be lies, as well as ALL of the reasons given to the UN to get in to finally claim control of a sovereign nation long on the PNAC hit-list, so I don't believe much of what's been claimed ............... at ALL.

have caused for millions of children let alone apologized for a single child lost. I haven't even heard her mention them.

The simple fact is, I wouldn't laugh at Hitler's death, even in relief. I have no idea why Hillary would get relief from Qadaffi's death, he didn't do anything to her or even her family. That statement is just wrong, and add the laugh and it's downright bone chilling. We are not in the time of bread and circuses.

As far as what happened with Mussolini and Petacci, it was wrong, but understandable since these people were the victims. Also, during that time, there was very little evidence in the way of photo or video proof that something happened. Putting someone on display was to prove that they were indeed dead, and a deterrent to others who might want to take their place. We've outgrown this type of treatment, at least I hope so.

Z

He deserved far worse. He should have been strung up like Mussolini.

Oh but it's Hillary so let's attack her.

And I'm certain that carrying around the sort of bitter hatred and anger you do, really, really, really caused the targets of it, untold amounts of grief. YOU showed them!!!

Mandela praised Qaddafi for fully supporting ending apherteid.

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article37301.htm



Gaddafi was praised for his human rights record towards women. He introduced equal pay, women were half the work force. Do you have equal pay in the U.S.? Crickets.

Prior to western military involvement Libya was a modern and secular state with the highest regional women’s rights and standards of living. No more. We fixed that!

Libya had the highest GDP per capita and life expectancy on the continent. Less people lived below the poverty line than in the Netherlands.

Unlike many other Arab nations, women in Gaddafi’s Libya had the right to education, hold jobs, divorce, hold property and have an income. The United Nations Human Rights Council praised Gaddafi for his promotion of women’s rights. More than half of Libya’s university students were women. One of the first laws Gaddafi passed in 1970 was an equal pay for equal work law.

Now, the new 'democratic' Libyan regime is clamping down on women’s rights. The new ruling tribes are tied to traditions that are strongly patriarchal. Extremist Islamic forces see gender equality as a Western perversion.

How the CIA Used "Libyan Expatriates" To Engineer Consent For Regime Change

One of the main sources for the claim that Qaddafi was killing his own people is the Libyan League for Human Rights (LLHR), an organization linked to the International Federation of Human Rights (FIDH). On Feb. 21, 2011, LLHR General Secretary Dr. Sliman Bouchuiguir initiated a petition in collaboration with the organization U.N. Watch and the National Endowment for Democracy. This petition was signed by more than 70 NGOs.

Then a few days later, on Feb. 25, Dr. Bouchuiguir went to the U.N. Human Rights Council in order to expose the allegations concerning the crimes of Qaddafi’s government. In July 2011 we went to Geneva to interview Dr. Sliman Bouchuiguir.

The Untold Story in Libya

Posted by polly7 in General Discussion
Tue Oct 18th 2011, 10:06 AM

In May 2010, Libya was voted on to the UN Human Rights Council by a huge majority. The UN Watch's campaign to remove Libya from the Human Rights Council began immediately.

In March, 2011, a report, containing positive quotes from UN diplomatic delegations in many countries, was due to be presented by the UN Human Rights Council, leading to a Resolution commending Libya's progress in a wide aspect of human rights (listed in the article). March 19, 2011, the attack on Libya began.

Libya was one of only five countries without a Rothschild model central bank, Quaddafi openly discussed, in 2009, the nationalization of US, UK, Germany, Spain, Norway, Canada and Italy's oil companies, switching to the gold dinar - a single African currency that would serve as an alternative to the U.S. dollar and allow African nations to share the wealth. Libya has an abundance of water - Gaddafi’s Great Man-Made River Project project offers limitless amounts of water for Libyans and would allow them to be totally self-sufficient. In the near-future, water will be the next resource equated with money and power, other countries may be dependent on its reserves. A self-sufficient, dictator-ruled nation with control over some of the world’s most precious resource waves a big red warning flag.

In 2010 Gaddafi made a motion to the UN General Assembly to investigate the circumstances of the invasion of Iraq. He was also wasting the west's ....... 'libya's' oil on free education, housing, tolerance of immigrants, raising the standard of living in Africa, lowering infant mortality while raising life expectancy.

Many of these things are completely similar to what we learned of Iraq.

*************************************************************************************************

Yes, simply put, Nato's member nations are trying to steer back Libya Central Bank into the mainstream financial structure, under the watching eyes of the World Bank and the International Monetary Funds, to provide (reconstruction) funds to Libya with hefty interests payments - and transform a country which was free of debts into a heavily indebted country - as done everywhere else in sub-Saharan African countries.

"It's now common knowledge that British SAS, French intelligence, US Central Intelligence Agency assets, Qatar special forces and mercenaries of all stripes were parachuted as boots on the ground for months, planning and training the "rebels" and in close coordination with that philanthropic prodigy, NATO.

That was never the UN mandate - but who cares? NATO/GCC paid the bills, NATO conducted the bombing and NATO/GCC will "stabilize" the mess, according to a 70-page plan leaked by the British to Rupert Murdoch'sz Times of London."

"Expect local - and global - fireworks as far as grabbing the loot is concerned. Without even considering the (still unexplored) oil and gas wealth, Libya's foreign assets are worth at least $150 billion. Libya's central bank, now about to be privatized, has no less than 143.8 tons of gold. Then there's at least a millennium supply of fresh water, which had started to be harnessed by Gaddafi via the spectacular, multibillion dollar Great Man-Made River (GMR) project."

NATO’s War on Libya is an Attack on African Development–Dan Glazebrook

6 09 2011

http://globalciviliansforpeace.com/tag/afr... /

To prevent this ‘threat of African development’, the Europeans and the USA have responded in the only way they know how – militarily. Four years ago, the US set up a new “command and control centre” for the military subjugation of the Africa, called AFRICOM. The problem for the US was that no African country wanted to host them; indeed, until very recently, Africa was unique in being the only continent in the world without a US military base. And this fact is in no small part, thanks to the efforts of the Libyan government.
Before Gaddafi’s revolution deposed the British-backed King Idris in 1969, Libya had hosted one of the world’s biggest US airbases, the Wheelus Air Base; but within a year of the revolution, it had been closed down and all foreign military personnel expelled.
More recently, Gaddafi had been actively working to scupper AFRICOM. African governments that were offered money by the US to host a base were typically offered double by Gaddafi to refuse it, and in 2008 this ad-hoc opposition crystallised into a formal rejection of AFRICOM by the African Union.

*************************************************************************************************

The force used by the occupier to displace the old regime always makes sure the new regime is supine and complaint. The National Transitional Council, made up of former Gadhafi loyalists, Islamists and tribal leaders, many of whom detest each other, will be the West’s vehicle for the reconfiguration of Libya. Libya will return to being the colony it was before Gadhafi and the other young officers in 1969 ousted King Idris, who among other concessions had let Standard Oil write Libya’s petroleum laws. Gadhafi’s defiance of Western commercial interests, which saw the nationalization of foreign banks and foreign companies, along with the oil industry, as well as the closure of U.S. and British air bases, will be reversed. The despotic and collapsed or collapsing regimes in Tunisia, Libya, Egypt and Syria once found their revolutionary legitimacy in the pan-Arabism of Egypt’s Gamal Abdel Nasser. But these regimes fell victim to their own corruption, decay and brutality. None were worth defending. Their disintegration, however, heralds a return of the corporate and imperial power that spawned figures like Nasser and will spawn his radical 21st century counterparts.

This is Rupert's Revolution, after all. Gone from the Murdoch press are pejorative "insurgents". The action in Libya, says The Times, is "a revolution... as revolutions used to be". That it is a coup by a gang of Muammar Gaddafi's ex cronies and spooks in collusion with Nato is hardly news.

The self-appointed "rebel leader", Mustafa Abdul Jalil, was Gaddafi's feared justice minister. The CIA runs or bankrolls most of the rest, including America's old friends, the Mujadeen Islamists who spawned al-Qaeda.
They told journalists what they needed to know: that Gaddafi was about to commit "genocide", of which there was no evidence, unlike the abundant evidence of "rebel" massacres of black African workers falsely accused of being mercenaries. European bankers' secret transfer of the Central Bank of Libya from Tripoli to "rebel" Benghazi by European bankers in order to control the country's oil billions was an epic heist of little .

http://andrewgavinmarshall.com/2011/08/26/lies-war-and-empire-nato’s-“humanitarian-imperialism”-in-libya

In early March of 2011, news headlines in Western nations reported that Gaddafi would kill half a million people.

<1> On March 18, as the UN agreed to launch air strikes on Libya, it was reported that Gaddafi had begun an assault against the rebel-held town of Benghazi. The Daily Mail reported that Gaddafi had threatened to send in his African mercenaries to crush the rebellion.<2> Reports of Libyan government tanks sitting outside Benghazi poised for an invasion were propagated in the Western media.<3> In the lead-up to the United Nations imposing a no-fly zone, reports spread rapidly through the media of Libyan government jets bombing the rebels.<4> Even in February, the New York Times – the sacred temple for the ‘stenographers of power’ we call “journalists” – reported that Gaddafi was amassing “thousands of mercenaries” to defend Tripoli and crush the rebels.<5>

Italy’s Foreign Minister declared that over 1,000 people were killed in the fighting in February, citing the number as “credible.”<6> Even a top official with Human Rights Watch declared the rebels to be “peaceful protesters” who “are nice, sincere people who want a better future for Libya.”<7> The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights declared that “thousands” of people were likely killed by Gaddafi, “and called for international intervention to protect civilians.”<8> In April, reports spread near and far at lightning speed of Gaddafi’s forces using rape as a weapon of war, with the first sentence in a Daily Mail article declaring, “Children as young as eight are being raped in front of their families by Gaddafi’s forces in Libya,” with Gaddafi handing out Viagra to his troops in a planned and organized effort to promote rape.<9>

As it turned out, these claims – as posterity notes – turned out to be largely false and contrived. Doctors Without Borders and Amnesty International both investigated the claims of rape, and “have found no first-hand evidence in Libya that rapes are systematic and being used as part of war strategy,” and their investigations in Eastern Libya “have not turned up significant hard evidence supporting allegations of rapes by Qaddafi’s forces.” Yet, just as these reports came out, Hillary Clinton declared that the U.S. is “deeply concerned by reports of wide-scale rape” in Libya.<10> Even U.S. military and intelligence officials had to admit that, “there is no evidence that Libyan military forces are being given Viagra and engaging in systematic rape against women in rebel areas”; at the same time Susan Rice, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, “told a closed-door meeting of officials at the UN that the Libyan military is using rape as a weapon in the war with the rebels and some had been issued the anti-impotency drug. She reportedly offered no evidence to backup the claim.”<

US says Gadhafi troops issued Viagra, raping victims
Allegation suggests troops encouraged to turn to sexual violence, envoys say

By Louis Charbonneau
updated 4/28/2011 9:31:26 PM ET

UNITED NATIONS — The U.S. envoy to the United Nations told the Security Council Thursday that troops loyal to Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi were increasingly engaging in sexual violence and some had been issued the impotency drug Viagra, diplomats said.

Several U.N. diplomats who attended a closed-door Security Council meeting on Libya told Reuters that U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice raised the Viagra issue in the context of increasing reports of sexual violence by Gadhafi's troops.

"Rice raised that in the meeting but no one responded," a diplomat said on condition of anonymity. The allegation was first reported by a British newspaper.

UNITED NATIONS — There is no evidence that Libyan military forces are being given Viagra and engaging in systematic rape against women in rebel areas, US military and intelligence officials told NBC News on Friday.

Diplomats said Thursday that US Ambassador Susan Rice told a closed-door meeting of officials at the UN that the Libyan military is using rape as a weapon in the war with the rebels and some had been issued the anti- impotency drug. She reportedly offered no evidence to backup the claim.

While rape has been a weapon of choice in many other African conflicts, the US officials say they've seen no such reports out of Libya.

The Global Disaster Capitalists never let a good disaster go to waste.
In the case of Libya, they used their Enforcement Arm (NATO & The US Military) to CREATE a disaster where there was none.

” For all his dictatorial megalomania, Gaddafi is a committed pan-African - a fierce defender of African unity. Libya was not in debt to international bankers. It did not borrow cash from the International Monetary Fund for any "structural adjustment". It used oil money for social services - including the Great Man Made River project, and investment/aid to sub-Saharan countries. Its independent central bank was not manipulated by the Western financial system. All in all a very bad example for the developing world.”

The answer lies in part with the Geneva based UN Watch.(vii) UN Watch is : “a non-governmental organization whose mandate is to monitor the performance of the United Nations.” With Consultative Status to the UN Economic and Social Council, with ties to the UN Department of Public Information, “UN Watch is affiliated with the American Jewish Committee.” (AJC.)"

On Monday, a New York Times story demonstrated more specifically why Clinton's interactions with Blumenthal may have been a bad idea. Blumenthal, the Times reports via solid sources, was advising the Secretary of State both before and after former Libyan autocrat Muammar Qaddafi's death while also advising a group of private individuals who hoped to make money by obtaining reconstruction-type contracts in a post-Qaddafi Libya.

Much of the Libya intelligence that Mr. Blumenthal passed on to Mrs. Clinton appears to have come from a group of business associates he was advising as they sought to win contracts from the Libyan transitional government. The venture, which was ultimately unsuccessful, involved other Clinton friends, a private military contractor and one former C.I.A. spy seeking to get in on the ground floor of the new Libyan economy ...

Muammar Gaddafi’s sexual crimes

http://www.salon.com/2013/09/22/muammar_gaddafis_sexual_crimes/

You didn't applaud his death? Shame on you.

horror for millions flown over to help pick up the pieces ..... maybe gather up the cluster bombs, shovel up the white phosphorous contaminated dirt in Fallujah. The same with Viet Nam ........ send them over to clean up the remaining Agent Orange. Shame on all of it. But no other country has invaded and destroyed us for our part in ALL of it, have they? Seems odd that we can claim one fucking iota of moral high ground and determine which country is getting a bit too economically stable and powerful and needs decimated.

Do you have an actual point?

And he was .. as well as improving the lot of those in all of Africa.

I bet you fell for yellow-cake and mushroom clouds, right?

While you trot personal opinions and your own sources (that you have no proof of), you're more than happy to defend a “a thug and murderer ” (Bernie Sanders quote.)

I've learned everything I need to know about WHY Libya had to be destroyed. Most here have, I'm surprised to see anyone still defending it. The majority of IS recruits have come from Libya. But that's probably not considered a bad thing because now we get to go into Syria and SAVE those people being slaughtered by them - of course Syria was already on the regime change/hit-list, how convenient, right?

As well as Boko Haram in Africa, now free to rape, burn alive and slaughter. Gaddafi had kept a lid on religious fanatics.

The internets are full of these types of people.

but that's why you support Hillary.

'the two war criminals will not have to come to trial,' Truman said, 'and I am very happy' [View all]

“Mr. President,” the reporter began, “would you care to comment on the death of Adolf Hitler reported, or Mussolini?”

Truman’s response indicated the looming problem of how to serve justice to Axis leaders who had wrought such havoc on Europe.
“Well, of course, the two principal war criminals will not have to come to trial,” Truman said, “and I am very happy they are out of the way.”

Notice Truman is only happy a brutal dictator was dead. He wasn't 'gleeful' like Hillary.

"peaceful regime change." Nice try but you lose.

But tell me - how do you peacefully remove a dictator?

There are ways to topple a dictator without bombing their country back into the stone age. Educate yourself. I know, I know, it's hard!!1!11

... I mean, after the dictator turned down peaceful offers like he did.

Was I supposed to end my sentence with !!11!11?

I understand reading isn't your thing but try it out at the link I posted, you might actully learn something and then you won't have to resort to dissimulating and embarrassing yourself.

Read my request again and get back to me. (hint: you're relying on an editorial. be sure he's right.)

Or better yet, don't.

What did you learn? hellloooooooo? Is anybody home? Evidently this is just a game of Neener neener to you. No grasp of debate, just keep saying "nuh uh" over and over again.

That isn't an answer.

I gave you a long, detailed article which you never read and demanded that I "educate you."

It's obvious you can't defend Hillary's creepy, pathological, warmongering behavior and have to resort to deflection and dissimulating but that's not my problem. I can't "educate" someone who refuses to be educated.

But you didn't read it so you wouldn't know.

It gives multiple examples of nonviolent regime change, which you asked for and now you refuse to acknowledge.

The American people loved Gaddafi!

I assume you are kidding!!!

It was like 'oops, my bad. It was a hard choice...I made a mistake <cackle>'.
That vid is on YouTube if someone can find it.
I was appalled. That cavalier attitude towards death and suffering, most of which is civilian non-combatants inc women and children, is what I expect from a psychopath.
It seriously concerns me what she would do as Commander in Chief. How many people would die to sate her blood-lust? Probably quite a lot...anybody that ambitious for ultimate power intends to use it.
And that's just the military. She would also have control over the intelligence apparatus. Given her traits of secrecy and paranoia, she's sure to vastly expand NSA spying...and perhaps use it against her enemies.
There's just too much risk to take that chance.

breast beaters before the world. Force is still a global value.

So, while I don't agree with our death dealing, I don't want our would-be leaders to have to apologize to a world that would eat us as soon as ally with us.

And no, I won't be convinced that if we're nice to the world it will be nice back.

Reciprocity is not yet a global value.

We know what happens when countries "go first" in good will gestures.

However, the U.S. spends a vast amount on the military, much of it wasteful. Despite all this spending, the 'War on Terror' is an abject failure...more terrorists are being created than eliminated. Of all the candidates D and R, only one is proposing we inject some sanity into our foreign policy.

But two responses are not the defining feature of her morality or personality.

ISIS fighters in Libya may be laughing also

servant. We can do much better people.

That's why the world is such a mess.

War is hell.

What future do we want?

Vote for Bernie for a better world.
