NATO Ground Troops Assisted Tripoli Invasion;" Mass Graves"..

Intercepted Phone Call:
NATO Ground Troops Assisted Tripoli Invasion; "Mass Graves" in Misurata
by Jacob Levich

snip

The callers openly acknowledge the presence of NATO soldiers on the battlefield. At one point the unidentified Misurati commander assures Col. Bani that the US and French military are "very well informed about the situation on the ground, since they are with them on the ground."

Western soldiers were present in Tripoli during the assault, and are still stationed there, the commander says. Additionally, he says, his own brigade includes a foreign intelligence group of 12 US spec ops and six French intelligence operatives.

The presence of embedded Western soldiers is a violation of UN resolutions authorizing action against Gaddafi and contradicts numerous statements by US and NATO officials that there are no foreign "boots on the ground" in Libya.

The call also reflects a dispute over the provision of money, mercenaries, and weapons from Qatar, similarly illegal under the UN Libya resolutions. "Where are the weapons from Qatar, where are the troops when we need them?" the Misurati commander demands.

1. So NATO is now the expeditionary force for the Western Governments
The re-conquest of former colonies is now the goal of NATO and the UN is only used as a cover! I guess it is now left for the former colonies to re-educate themselves in the struggles of their anti-colonial leaders and start fighting back rather than assume that this re-conquest is going to turn out any better or different from the previous conquest that gave the world slavery, violent oppression and subjugation.

2. The West in not interested in re-conquering colonies, just assuring resources on their terms
Edited on Wed Sep-21-11 10:54 AM by Distant Observer
They certainly don't want responsibility for poor countries with lots of people.

4. It wouldn't work if many weren't inclined that way anyhow

They want to believe.

They can't handle the truth.

Around here anyways. You talk to people on the street and cynicism is rife, tell them the truth and they say "I'm not at all surprised."

10. Man, THAT was a brutal "No Fly Zone".
The Obama Administration for starting a WAR without Congressional Approval
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejvyDn1TPr8


NATO = US Military = Enforcement Arm for the Global Banks, Global Resource Extraction Corporations, & The IMF

” 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.”

11. And ya know....

when the Soviet Union was around US/NATO couldn't get away with using the UN as a patsy and ignoring any provision not to their liking.

Explains much, without a countervailing force Capitalism is run amok.

12. Taking down Libya...
... by Piggie Backing on the legitimate Arab Spring uprisings
was a real Plum (coup d'état?) for the IMF, The Global Banks, and the Oil Corps.
An absolutely perfect example of Disaster Capitalism at its coldest, greediest, and most brutal.
All "they" have to do now is install a corrupt Western Friendly Puppet in Libya,
and the entire African Continent is wide open for their looting...err, "Privatization".

The LAST thing the Global Banks & the IMF want is a United Africa,
and taking out Gaddafi, who was using Oil Profits to finance a Pan Africa Bank, was undercutting the IMF in Africa.





You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their excuses.

14. That is the phrase: ''Total Information Control''
Works wonders for the banksters, too.
