Voltaire Network denounces the attempt by the "rebels" to arrest Thierry Meyssan

Voltaire Network, Thursday, 25 August 25, 2011, 3:25 p.m. - The journalists who had been trapped inside the hotel Rixos in Tripoli since Sunday were evacuated yesterday, 24 August 2011, at 5 p.m, by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). The four members of the Voltaire Network team - journalists Thierry Meyssan, Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya, Mathieu Ozanon and Julien Teil - were among them.

However, after their release, the rebels tried to detain Thierry Meyssan, well known for his articles exposing the crimes of NATO. The ICRC intervened to prevent his arrest.

The journalists were taken to another hotel, where they are no longer under ICRC protection.

The journalists have thus far been unable to reach the ship chartered by the International Organization for Migration (IOM), which is supposed to have already docked in Tripoli.

Voltaire Network is extremely concerned about the attitude showed by the NATO-sponsored "rebels" towards its journalists. It is hereby launching an international appeal to the international community urging for the protection of its journalists and for their safe departure from Libya.

1. Considering that is a pro-Qadaffi org, giant grain of salt

regarding their supposed victimization. Treat everything they say as if it were written by Muommar himself.

[inna]

2. voltairenet.org is not a "pro-Qadaffi" org. what's with ridiculous demonization, anyway?

[geek tragedy]

5. Their website contains nothing but pro/Qadaffi talking points.

Less fair and balanced than Fox News, with an equally repulsive agenda.

[EFerrari]

9. And what has that to do with their attempted detention?

[geek tragedy]

12. Their purported, alleged detention that has not been

corroborated by another source.

Pro-Gadaffi professional liars claiming to be victimized by Gadaffi--kind of like that McCain volunteer who claimed someone carved Obsma's name on her face.

[inna]

10. lol, that is your utterly subjective and biased opinion. whatever. nt

[geek tragedy]

24. Objective fact: Meyssan claims it was a missile that

hit the Pentagon on 9/11.

He's batshit insane even by Truther standards.

[EFerrari]

3. They're journalists.

[geek tragedy]

4. In the sense that Hannity and Beck are journalists.

They are shills for the deposed dictator. They are propagandists and partisans.

[indurancevile]

26. is there anyone commenting on libya that isn't either partisan or propagandist?

because i haven't seen any.

and that includes the msm.

6. Also from thierry meyssan and voltaire

Thus, McCain is the head of the international Republican Institute, an organization controlled by the Department of State that is in charge of corrupting the right wing parties all over the world, while Obama works for the National Democrat Institute, headed by Madeleine Albright, who is in charge of corrupting the left wing parties. Obama and Albright both took part in the destabilization of Kenya, during a CIA operation in order to impose one of Obama’s cousins as Prime Minister.

All these data show that Obama doesn’t come from nowhere. He’s an expert in secret operations and subversion. He’s been recruited for a very specific task.

If the general objectives of the heteroelite coalition that supports him are the same, the details differ between its various components. This explains the incredible battle around Obama’s team nomination and his always ambiguous speeches.

Even my tinfoil ain't that tight.

[geek tragedy]

7. They are professional liars.

Should be banned just like WND and Holocaust denial sites are.

[EFerrari]

8. So, are you saying these people don't deserve to be treated well

because you disagree with them? Or?

[geek tragedy]

11. No, it's that they are not trustworthy.

They are proven liars and have an explicitly pro-Gadaffi bias and agenda.

It is likely they are making this story up, in the tradition of their heroes at Pravda.

[inna]

14. "an explicitly pro-Gadaffi bias and agenda" - nonsense and defamation. prove it.

[geek tragedy]

17. Read their website. EVERY SINGLE ARTICLE is about how NATO and the rebels are evil

and how Gadaffi is being treated unfairly.

EVERY SINGLE ONE.

They are not journalists--they are partisan propagandists seeking to boost a dictator.

16. and btw...

try to defame this guy, lol.


real journalist, one of the dying breed, sadly.

[geek tragedy]

18. Yes, he's a journalist to Gadaffi supporters just like

Hannity is a journalist to Palin supporters.

[inna]

21. lol, what a thoroughly vile AND pathetically lame attempt at defamation! wow, impressive, almost.

read up and educate yourself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Cockburn

[geek tragedy]

22. Oops, thought you were still referring to Meysan.

The Cockburn article you cite is pure speculation with no actual reporting.

[amborin]

19. bookmarked, thanks!

20. Quite ironically, Voltairenet opposes any interference in the internal affairs of countries

Point 4 from their principles: "Abstention from intervention or interference in the internal affairs of another country"

http://www.voltairenet.org/About-Voltaire-Network

...which leads one to wonder how they justify being in Tripoli during the civil war, taking sides and spreading semi-information. I guess its ok if they do it, and call it journalism.

In any case - he should be treated well, and repatriated to France, and the appeal of Voltairnet should be honored as reasonable.

[geek tragedy]

23. Meyssan claimed that it was a missile that hit the Pentagon

on 9/11. Even the MIHOP Truthers recognize that he's a discredited nutjob completely disconnected from reality.

So, yeah, trust his accounts if you believe the plane crashing into the Pentagon was a hoax.

[indurancevile]

25. so is voltaire network larouche or russia-backed?
