Where are the Gaddafis?
 
There are probably few of us who still think of the tyrant and his entourage but I have always been under the impression that Musa Ibrahim was captured when they finally caught up with Gaddafi :hmm2:

Whatever anyone would like to say in here, I'd like to ask everyone to bring some attention to the words of this man.
Introduction coming straight from "The Green Book", written by the Chief of the Libyan Jamahiriya. This book was updated and reedited some time before his assassination, shortly after the NATO started bringing support to the so-called "revolution forces". Out of respect for this man who is dead now, I'll let you read this text carefully, if you wish to do so, in the hope that the sceptical will remain wise, polite and well-educated.

Before you start reading, please keep in mind that I apologize in advance for some poor translation here and there...

In the name of Allah, the Mighty, the All-Merciful...

For the last 40 years - is it more ? I just can't remember - I did everything I was able to, in order to bring accomodations to the People of Lybia, as well as schools, hospitals, and when the People was hungry, I fed him. I've even been able to get Benghazi to be a rural productive area emerging from the desert.

I coped with the attacks from the cowboy Reagan, when he murdered my adopted orphan girl while trying to murder myself. Instead of murdering myself, he killed this innocent child. Then I've been helping my African Brothers and Sisters, bringing them money to create the African Union ; I did my best to explain the real concept of democracy to the People, popular committees being the head of the country in facts, but that was never enough, as some told me - while some of them had a ten-roomed house, new clothes and a lot of furniture. As egoistic and selfish as they appeared to be, they always wanted more, and told Americans and other visitors that they needed "democracy", "freedom", not realizing that it is a cut-throat business in which the big dogs eat the others ; but they were enchanted by these words, never realising that in America, there is no free medicine, nor that national health services are not free, nor that there is not any free housing, no free education, no free food assistance, except when people wait their turn in the queue begging for soup kitchen... No matter what I did, it was never enough to some of them ; but others knew that I was the spiritual son of Gamal Abdel Nasser. Just like the one and only true Muslim Arabic leader since Sala'a Din (Saladin) who recovered the Suez Channel for his People, I recovered Lybia for my People, I tried to follow his path in order to keep my People independant and free from any colonialist domination, and from thieves who would rob us.

Here and now, I am under enemy fire of the greatest armed force in History, my dear African son, Obama, wants to kill me, to take away our freedom, to take away our free medicine for all, to take away our free housing for all, to take away our free education, our free food, and wants to replace it all with this american-style highway robbery called "capitalism", but we all in the Third World know what it means ; it means that big industries rule the country, letting the World and all People suffer. So there is no alternative for me, I must remain strong and steady ; God willing, I will die following that path I'm responsible for that's got to make a country rich in agricultural resources out of Libya, featuring plentiful foods and good health for everyone. This country has even made us able to help our African and Arab Brothers and Sisters to work with us in here, in the Libyan Jamahiriya.
I don't want to die, but if my death has to be, to help my country, my People, and all those thousands of people who are my Children, then so be it.

May this testament be my voice for this world to hear, may it let everyone know that I've been strong facing the attacks from the Holy Warriors from the NATO, withstanding cruelty, treason, colonialist ambitions from the Occident, and that by choosing this path, I certainly have been standing next to my true Arab and Muslim Brothers, just like the light from a lighthouse ; while others were building castles, I was living in a humble residence, under some canvas. I never forgot my youth in Sirte, I've never been squandering our national wealth, and like Saladin, our great Muslim leader, who saved Jerusalem in the name of Islam, I never took much money for myself.
In Occident, some consider myself as eccentric and mad, but they know the truth and keep lying, they know that our soil is independant, and free from any colonial yoke ; this is my vision, my path is and has always been clear to my People who knows that I'll keep fighting for our rights until my dying breath in order to keep ourselves free, may God the almighty help us stay loyal and free.


Mouammar El Kadhafi, April 2011
In memory of a dead man whom just a few people had heard of before everyone started thinking it was right to kill him.

Ah, the media propaganda...
You don't want to believe this guy really is the author of this text ?
You don't have to, it is your right, you're entitled not to believe it.
Feel free to borrow the book from your library (provided it's a good one, you'll find the book there) if you ever want to gum out of your mind all that dictatorsh!t you've got to hear about on tv.


But pretty please, let me put in doubt the fact that this man everyone's got to see through the prism of NATO propaganda was such a "tyrant".

Oh here we go with the 'Occident' nonsense again.

CCIP 10-20-12 08:56 PM

I don't doubt that the media played a role in demonizing Gaddafi when convenient and rehabilitating him when necessary, but come on man... it's hard to take the guy seriously when every 3rd word of the quoted passage above is a hyperbole, and every sentence contains at least one blatant historical falsity. I'm not even exaggerating here. If anyone played the foremost role in making Gaddafi unlikeable and easy to demonize, it's gotta be the man himself.

By all means, this was at least an interesting text, and not too wrong - in the eyes of a the Libyans.
