Op deze plek heb ik tijdens de oorlog die tegen het Libië van Khadaffi werd gevoerd, regelmatig bericht over de smerige machinaties van het westen in Libië. Hieronder vindt u een artikel van dat ik op het blog van Stan van Houcke vond. In dit artikel van James en Joanne Moriarty, die Libië doorkruisten, staan zaken vermeld, die m.n haren te berge deden rijzen (hoewel, als je met de VS, de feitelijke baas van de NAVO, te maken hebt, hoef je werkelijk nergens meer van op te kijken…….). Het onderstaande artikel bewijst andermaal, dat de NAVO allesbehalve heeft liggen slapen, zoals onze politici u bijna dagelijks voorliegen, maar dat dit ondemocratische, ongecontroleerde militaire orgaan, een uiterst agressieve, smerige en levensgevaarlijke politiek voert, niet alleen in Libië, maar bijvoorbeeld ook in Oost-Europa………..

Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain

And all the children are insane

– The End, The Doors

It goes without saying that we rarely get an accurate representation of
reality in the corporate media, which is, after all, what independent
media exists for. Last
Sunday Joe Quinn and I interviewed a very ordinary couple with a very
extraordinary tale: businesspeople James and Joanne Moriarty and how
they escaped from capture by Al Qaeda terrorists during the 2011 ‘Libyan
revolution’. Listening to James and Joanne tell their story, it was
impossible not to be struck by the significance, for every human being
on this planet, of the problem of psychopaths in positions of power.

The Moriartys present three powerful motivating factors for the
destruction of Libya by Western powers and their internationalist
financiers:

• thwarting Gaddafi’s plan to establish a gold-backed currency,
  to ultimately serve as a pan-African currency and thereby economically
  unite African nations and free them from Western imperialism;
• the US desire to establish AFRICOM (military control of Africa to ward off Chinese investment)
• an alleged $7 trillion lawsuit, on behalf of all participating African countries,
  at Gaddafi’s instigation, to sue for damages incurred from broken
  treaties with European countries during their “colonial era”.

So far from “freeing the Libyan people from a dictator”, the NATO
bombardment of Libya in 2011 was about the maintenance of US and EU
domination over Africa.

But what really comes across in this riveting interview with the Moriartys is the utter recklessness displayed in Libya (and elsewhere, for that matter) by both NATO and the ‘rebel’ forces, as well as the relish with which they demonstrably enjoyed tearing the entire country apart. These
demented animals have access to unparalleled hi-tech weaponry and
vehicles, enabling them to ‘achieve feats of destruction’ that before
only ‘the gods’ could perform. Their
handiwork is psychopathy writ large, the nihilistic culmination of
Western civilization, and the glorious – for them – embrace of the
destructive principle.

Among the things we discussed in the interview
were the back-story to how two Texan businesspeople came to be in
Libya; what Libya – and Gaddafi – was really like pre-2011; the real
ideological motivations for the ‘humanitarian intervention’ – listed
above; the atrocities and war crimes witnessed by the Moriartys as they
traveled throughout the country as international observers on behalf of a
fact-finding commission launched by an international youth
organization; their incredible escape from terrorist capture; and the
persecution they are today being subjected to by the US government.

Gaddafi was so loved across the continent that African tribal leaders made him ‘King of Africa’

One
of the most important points to understand about Libya in 2011 is that
Gaddafi was no longer the country’s formal political leader. Since 2006
he was essentially Libya’s spiritual leader, a symbol, although he did
continue to represent the people’s interests on the international stage.
The country’s form of government – the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya –
was nominally socialist, in the sense that wealth was fairly
distributed, but it was way more than that. Gaddafi had created, or was
the inspiration for, the closest you will ever get to ‘utopia’ on Earth.
Libya wasn’t just democratic (in the positive sense of the word); it
was humane in a way not seen in the West in a long, long time.

That imaginary world you may have dreamed of, where there’s no
debt, no insurance companies, no banks (certainly no Central Bank), and
where everyone’s needs are taken care of… well, that was Libya pre-2011. Disputes were largely settled between people without state intervention.
Libya’s modest military was equipped with Soviet weapons from the
1980s, and was therefore an easy target for overwhelming NATO firepower.

Since the Lockerbie and Berlin disco bombings, for which he was framed by the CIA and friends
– Gaddafi was a pariah in ‘the international community’. After the 9/11
attacks, he sought to bury the hatchet with the West and committed
Libya to Bush’s War On Terror, providing rich intel on radicals in his
country and making deals that would lift the decades-long embargo on
Libya, not least, claim the Moriartys, via massive bribes to Western
leaders like former French President Nicholas Sarkozy and Barack Obama
(via one of his uncles). Sarkozy was investigated by police for accepting 50 million euros for his 2007 presidential election campaign from Gaddafi.

Western political psychopaths repaid Gaddafi with an extreme form of
‘regime change’ that saw Gaddafi almost literally torn apart by
NATO-backed blood-thirsty “rebels”.

The Moriartys describe how NATO forces bombed the country’s archival buildings, in an apparent effort to eliminate all traces of Libyan history. They
blew up homes, streets, food stores, schools, hospitals, basic
infrastructure like water supplies, wheat fields and date-palm groves.
They ‘opened up’ the country for what it is today a truly “failed
state” with daily violence and not one but two competing governments.
Libya has some of the best preserved Roman ruins in all the
Mediterranean. I don’t know if NATO bombed those too, but based on what’s happening in Syria, it’s only a matter of time before those are destroyed too.

‘I came, I saw, I laughed my a** off!’

The ‘Libyan rebels’ (today operating as ISIS in Syria and Iraq) that Western citizens cheered were invariably completely off their heads on drugs.
The Moriartys told us how they heard the screams of Libyan soldiers
being dragged into their hotel in Tripoli, then taken upstairs to be
tortured to death. Mosques were turned into torture centers by the
‘Islamist’ rebels, where thousands of people were raped, cut into
pieces, limb-by-limb, and force-fed to the still-living.

The death toll from NATO’s bombardment and its roving death
squads is, based on figures compiled and passed to the Moriartys by
tribal leaders, at least 600,000 dead.
The population of Libya was 6 million at the time. The Moriartys say
40,000 of those were tortured to death. Based on meetings with tribal
leaders, they reported to the fact-finding commission that 100,000 people were killed by NATO bombing in the first month. They claim that NATO dropped more bombs on Libya from March-October 2011 than were dropped in the entire world during World War Two. The total figure they have for the number of ‘rebels’ is far higher than anything reported anywhere else: 250,000 terrorists poured into the country from all over the Middle East and beyond.
It’s clear that the terrorists particularly targeted black Africans,
with the Moriartys describing the slaughter as a ‘black genocide’. There
are at least 128 mass graves in the country. Another two million people
are displaced, barely surviving in refugee camps on the Tunisian and
Egyptian borders.

A quarter of a million terrorists… this gives you an idea of the scale of
these US-led proxy wars. No wonder the combined might of the Syrian,
Iranian, Iraqi and Hezbollah forces struggles against ‘ISIS’ in the
Syrian desert – they are up against so many foot-soildiers of empire.

Libya was completely obliterated

The Western powers embargoed Libya of food, water, medical supplies – just like Yemen is undergoing now.
Thousands of armed pick-ups rolled off cargo ships at ports, unloading
humvees, SUVs, and pickups loaded for bear with heavy artillery and
mercenaries. The Moriartys describe attack helicopters arriving in
Tripoli from aircraft carriers and firing indiscriminately at anything
and everything. 1,300 people, mostly civilians, were killed on the very
first day of the establishment of NATOs so-called ‘no-fly zone’.

Six days into the coup-d’état-disguised-as-a-‘revolution’, the new
regime, the Western-imposed ‘National Transitional Council of Libya’, opened Libya’s first ever central bank. For Libya to be ‘welcomed back into the international community’, all its cash, precious metals, and other assets – at home and abroad – were signed over to the new privately-owned, foreign-controlled Central Bank of Libya. The Moriartys say they also agreed to the construction of a permanent Israeli military base in Libya, and that they have documents to prove it.

Today they plant the flag in new territory for us, tomorrow they hate us for our freedoms

If
you were a journalist in Libya during this time you were relatively
safe; not because these animals respected journalists as neutral
observers, but because the journalists were on their side. The Moriartys have evidence of embedded
journalists, not least from Qatar-owned Al Jazeera, whose staff were
among the terrorists from day one, personally calling in airstrikes and
working side-by-side with the terrorists.

The Moriartys know what happened in the Benghazi ‘consulate’ attack on September 11th, 2012. They had foreknowledge of an attack,
but no one in Washington, D.C. was interested in what they were hearing
on the ground. Afterwards, locals told them where the attackers could
be found. Still no interest from Washington; the US State Department’s announcement at the time of a “$10 million reward for information leading to the capture of Stevens’ killers”
was pure theater. The Moriartys described to us in detail, based on
accounts from eyewitnesses with whom they spoke, the scene at the
residence that night. Among other things, Stevens appears to have been
killed before the attack started.

As to why Ambassador Chris Stevens was sacrificed, they suspect it’s because he “knew too much“. Stevens was overseeing – or was at least deeply involved in – shipments
of weapons and terrorists through the Benghazi residence, which was
actually a CIA safe-house, to Syria to fuel the US government’s proxy
war against Assad that begun in earnest earlier in 2012. The Moriartys suggest that Stevens may have been trying to recall delivery of 20,000 ‘MANPAD’ portable surface-to-air missile launchers to the terrorists.

When
the Moriartys became trapped inside Libya, the US government basically
told them to ‘pound dirt’. Escape only became possible when the Russian
ambassador directed them towards a rescue ship sent by the Maltese
government. They tried in vain to locate the ship, but it never docked
because the situation was so dangerous. And then, back at their hotel in
Tripoli, they were cornered by some of the ‘rebels’, who told them
their names were “on our list.” Having learned at this point that these maniacs were being paid handsomely for each person they killed, with bonus payments if they cut up and burned the bodies,
the Moriartys thought their goose was cooked. They watched as Western
TV crews recorded interviews with foreign nationals, which they later
realized was being allowed only because these people’s
statements were subsequently used in Western media reports as evidence
of ‘atrocities committed by the Gaddafi regime’.

The Moriartys’ eventual miraculous escape from that NATO-created
hell-hole came when they paid $16,000 to the ‘rebels’, one of whom took
pity on them and led them to safety. As someone from the US Defense
Intelligence Agency later told them, “Y’all need to be written up in the Guinness Book of Records because no one has ever escaped al Qaeda alive.”

Please note, the Moriartys are ordinary businesspeople. They had no
anti-Western or ‘liberal’ ax to grind in going to Libya. They were there
on the basis of good old-fashioned American capitalism.

Finally making it back to the US, via Tunisia and Rome, the Moriartys
were ‘debriefed on arrival’, and spent the next year speaking with
various intel agencies. US officials wanted their story, and the
evidence they had gathered for the fact-finding commission, but the
Moriartys realized that their information was being used to assist rather than thwart the terrorists in Libya. After being told explicitly to “shut up, or else“,
they went public with their information. More death threats ensued and
they narrowly escaped an attempt to frame them for possession of drugs.
They are regularly harassed by government agents and are blacklisted
from restarting their oil-cleaning business or gaining employment. The
Moriartys are living hand-to-mouth thanks to donations and sales of
their DVD, ‘Escape from Al Qaeda‘, which I strongly encourage you to purchase.

The
DVD includes a presentation/talk given by the Moriartys, an interview
they gave in Libya, an interview with US Rep. Dennis Kucinich on US
intervention in Libya, and never-before-seen footage of the destruction
wrought by Western military in Libya, US Special Forces operating there,
and the two-million-strong rallies held by ordinary Libyans, at the height of NATO’s blitzkrieg, in support of Gaddafi and their government.
The DVD also includes a documentary produced by the fact-finding
commission on the basis of the Moriartys’ reports. I should warn you
that the DVD contains some extremely graphic footage
(the ‘rebels’ laughing as they behead people, and forcing captured
Libyan soldiers – hands bound and down on their knees – to eat parts of
their dead comrades), but you should force yourself to watch that
anyway, at least once, while keeping in mind: ‘This is the outer expression of the inner nature of the people who run my government.’

When speaking with people as they travelled the country collecting data,
the Moriartys tried to impress on them the urgent need to counter the
lies in the Western media about what was happening there, to which the
Libyans responded, “The truth and our fate will save us.” In
their naivety, they believed – in the terror of the moment anyway – that
being good, decent people was enough. But I think the only thing that
might have prevented this is if enough of us in the West had known the
truth about our psychopathic leaders and what they do.

And so, here’s the interview. Please listen, then share…
