NATO’s Slow Genocide in Libya

NATO’s Slow Genocide in Libya
What the world has to look forward to if NATO and the UN gets its way in Syria.
While Qatari government propaganda outlet Al Jazeera is busy whitewashing the NATO-led terrorist take-over of Libya with “documentaries” like “Gaddafi: The Endgame – State of Denial,”
depicting the evisceration of one of Africa’s most developed
nation-states as a pro-democracy revolution yielding a promising
tomorrow – Libya in reality has been plunged into perpetual violence,
destabilization, and division. And as militants battle each other while
carving the once unified Libya into a myriad of fiefdoms, genocidal
death squads continue a campaign of extermination nationwide.
Image: The people of Tawargha are Libyans and have been Libyan for
generations, settling there from sub-Saharan Africa. They have been
brutally persecuted by the NATO-armed terrorists now running Libya. In
Syria, expect these to be Alawite, Christian, and secular faces.
One group of Libyans hit hardest are the people of Tawargha – who were either exterminated or exiled from their city of 10,000-30,000 during the NATO-led destruction of Libya last year. Since then, their refugee camps have been raided, and survivors who have not yet fled Libya are being systematically imprisoned, tortured, and murdered.
Now, the very network of corporate-funded and directed NGOs charged with “human rights advocacy,” who assisted the Libyan rebels in willfully lying to the world
over violations of “human rights” in the lead up to NATO’s military
intervention, are finally reporting the widespread atrocities being
carried out by the rebels themselves. In fact, organizations like Human
Rights Watch (HRW) and Amnesty International, both funded by convicted criminal and Wall Street speculator, George Soros,
began reporting such atrocities back in 2011, but only long after NATO
bombs were already falling on Libya and the process of “regime change”
was already irreversible. And, at critical junctures, such as the sieges of Bani Walid and Sirte,
where NATO itself was committing systematic war crimes by air in tandem
with terrorist forces on the ground – organizations like HRW and
Amnesty International were altogether mute.
Image: The desolate Libyan city of Sirte after NATO’s months-long siege –
the tragic aftermath of a UN-sanctioned “humanitarian war.” Not a word
regarding NATO’s blockade and bombardment of these cities has been
mentioned by either HRW or Amnesty International in any terms resembling
the rhetoric they used to justify NATO’s intervention in March of 2011.
Now though, with Syria next on the chopping block, many around the world are looking at the “progress” made in Libya to see if the UN and NATO’s proposal for military intervention is justified, warranted, or feasible. What they see is a patchwork of terrorist regimes butchering people systematically, infighting, making duplicitous, self-serving deals with foreign firms and otherwise running the nation into the ground.
Amnesty International, a full-year too late, has published a report titled, “Libya: NTC must investigate death of another Tawargha man under torture,” in regards to the latest case in the NTC’s systematic genocide of the people of Tawargha – a city now rendered a “ghost town.” HRW had published a report last week titled, “Libya: Wake-Up Call to Misrata’s Leaders,” also regarding the systematic genocide of the people of Tawargha. Ironically, both Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International are giving all inquiring minds a look behind the curtain as to how exactly they are distorting other conflicts – including Syria today.
From the Beginning, Libyan Rebels were Known War Criminals
Long before the first NATO bombs dropped on Libya, genuine geopolitical analysts including Dr. Webster Tarpley of Tarpley.net,
noted that the Libyan “rebels” were in fact notoriously brutal racists
and led by militias belonging to a listed international terrorist
organization responsible for violence not only in Libya, but in
Afghanistan and Iraq. On March 1, 2011 Dr. Tarpley spoke on the Alex Jones show
warning that Libyan rebels were lynching black Libyans, hailed from Al
Qaeda, and that the overall agenda of destabilizing and possibly
intervening militarily across the Arab World was to implement “chaos,
civil war, and the division of countries,” along with the installation
of weak puppet-regimes.
Just days after NATO began its military operations against Libya in mid-March of 2011, Dr. Tarpley confirmed
that the Libyan rebels were led by the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group
(LIFG), claimed by West Point’s Combating Terrorism Center (CTC) to have
been involved in fighting Western troops in both Afghanistan and Iraq
before returning to Libya to then be armed, trained, and led by Western
forces in the overthrowing of Muammar Qaddafi.
During the initial phases of NATO’s intervention, HRW and Amnesty
International were complicit in covering these facts up and instead
focused on lending legitimacy to the now confirmed lies of the NTC regarding human rights abuses perpetrated against them by the Libyan government. It wasn’t until July of 2011 that HRW would admit
that Libyan rebels were carrying out systematic abuses of their own,
and even then they were whitewashed and excused. And while Human Rights
Watch now admits that what the Libyan NTC is doing to the Tawargha
people amounts to “crimes against humanity,” they could have just as
easily drawn such conclusions backed with ample evidence before NATO
intervened militarily and rendered moot the entire “humanitarian”
“responsibility to protect” doctrine the entire war was disingenuously
based on.
In retrospect, we are meant to believe these organizations simply made a mistake and could not have possibly known the rebels would turn out to be worse human rights violators than those they sought to replace.
HRW & Amnesty Repeating “Mistakes” in Syria, No Mistake
That HRW and Amnesty International appear to be making the exact same mistakes in Syria, even as they finally admit the crimes of the “pro-democracy” rebels in Libya a year later and tens of thousands of lives too late, is certainly no mistake. This is exactly the purpose both organizations are meant to serve along with a myriad of other faux-NGOs – to lend legitimacy to both the Syrian terrorists and the governments of the West arming and directing them as they carry out what is essentially a campaign of foreign military conquest.
The first admissions of Syrian rebels committing atrocities have likewise come a full-year after unrest was triggered in 2011. Human Rights Watch admitted in their report, “Syria: Armed Opposition Groups Committing Abuses,” that Syrian rebels are kidnapping, torturing, and executing people, many of whom have been confirmed to be civilians. Again, geopolitical analysts have stated since the unrest began in 2011 that Syria’s opposition likewise represented not genuine “pro-democratic” forces, but rather proxies for foreign interests, many linked to extremist groups including Al Qaeda, and with Libya’s LIFG commander Abdul Hakim Belhaj literally pledging cash, weapons, and men to the Syrian rebels’ and NATO’s cause.
Indeed, Syria is destined not for a stable democratic-tomorrow, but
rather the same division, destruction, chaos, and genocide now rampant
across Libya, where self-serving traitors simultaneously sell their
nation out from under its people while eliminating their competition
through violence and terrorism. As NATO and the UN attempt to court
Syria’s ruling business and government cliques, it would be wise for
Syrians to look at Libya as an example of just how much worse it can get
and the necessity to remain unified against what has been planned from
the very beginning to be the end of Syria.
That the West’s war machine extends not only around the world in the
form of vast military assets, but with an immense media infrastructure
to propagate their agenda, and a gargantuan network of NGOs funded and
directed to subvert every form of national institution should be a big
enough clue for stake-holders within besieged nation-states that the
West has neither the need nor the desire to “share” once they prevail.
Stand United, or Fall Divided: Basic Game Theory
Strategists in the West approach each targeted nation, including
Libya and now Syria, employing a form of game theory assuming that those
they interact with, friend and foe alike, “play” using the dominant strategy
– meaning, each “player” picks the best strategy resulting in the
maximum benefit for themselves only, regardless of how other “players”
play. This means that the West approaches two opposition factions in any
given nation, makes their intentions of moving in known, and offers
each the chance to defect. Defectors are given calculated benefits and
losses, while their opposition will be eliminated entirely. While in
reality, both factions stand the most to gain if they thwart the vastly
superior West from plundering their nation, neither considers this an
option because of a combination of intellectual flaws, thus both will
lose more, even under the most favorable outcomes.
The West specifically targets and favors those faction with the most
flaws in character, intellect, motivation etc., as in any conflict,
those ruled by emotions and irrational methodology are infinitely easier
to manipulate.
In Libya, had the rebels of Cyrenaica worked with Qaddafi to expel foreign encroachment and worked to divide an intact and unified Libya’s wealth amongst themselves, they would have both vastly benefited more than even the sole victors are now. Instead, the West was able to prey on the arrogance, ideology, animosity, ignorance, and prejudices of both factions, wearing both down, dividing the remaining victor, and will, in time, eventually even eliminate them altogether. The same can be seen playing out in the perpetually divided Iraq and the same will certainly happen in Syria.
The age old axiom of standing united, or falling divided, is just as relevant today as ever. Understanding the true fault-lines running through humanity, between the global corporate-financier oligarchy and everyone else, and disallowing artificial fault-lines to be imposed upon us allows us to stand united against our true enemies and prevail. The moment we begin fighting amongst ourselves, regardless of who prevails, we all ultimately lose.
