In contrast with what is happening in For that reason, it provided jobs for hundreds of thousands of workers
from The colossal campaign of lies, unleashed by the mass media, resulted
in great confusion in world public opinion. Some time will go by before we
can reconstruct what has really happened in Serious and prestigious broadcasting companies such as Telesur,
saw themselves with the obligation to send reporters and cameramen to the
activities of one group and those on the opposing side, so that they could
inform about what was really happening. Communications were blocked, honest diplomatic officials were risking
their lives going through neighbourhoods and observing activities, day and
night, in order to inform about what was going on. The empire and its main
allies used the most sophisticated media to divulge information about the
events, among which one had to deduce the shreds of the truth. Without any doubt, the faces of the young people who were protesting
in One is able to see the influence that the tribal component still
exercises on that Arab country, despite the Muslim faith that 95% of its
population sincerely shares. Imperialism and NATO – seriously concerned by the revolutionary wave
unleashed in the Arab world, where a large part of the oil is generated that
sustains the consumer economy of the developed and rich countries – could not
help but take advantage of the internal conflict arising in Libya so that
they could promote military intervention. The statements made by the The circumstances could not be more propitious. In the November
elections, the Republican right-wing struck a resounding blow on President
Obama, an expert in rhetoric. The fascist “mission accomplished” group, now backed ideologically by
the extremists of the Tea Party, reduced the possibilities of the current
president to a merely decorative role in which even his health program and
the dubious economic recovery were in danger as a result of the budget
deficit and the uncontrollable growth of the public debt which were breaking
all historical records. In spite of the flood of lies and the confusion that was created, the
US could not drag China and the Russian Federation to the approval by the
Security Council for a military intervention in Libya, even though it managed
to obtain however, in the Human Rights Council, approval of the objectives it
was seeking at that moment. In regards to a military intervention, the Secretary
of State stated in words that admit not the slightest doubt: “no option is
being ruled out”. The real fact is that The problem that perhaps the actors were not imagining is that the
very leaders of the rebellion were bursting into the complicated matter
declaring that they were rejecting all foreign military intervention. Various news agencies informed that Abdelhafiz
Ghoga, spokesperson for the Committee of the
Revolution stated on Monday the 28th that “‘The rest of “We are counting on the army to liberate “‘What we want is intelligence information, but in no case that our
sovereignty is affected in the air, on land or on the seas’, he added during
an encounter with journalists in this city located “The intransigence of the people responsible for the opposition on
national sovereignty was reflecting the opinion being spontaneously
manifested by many Libyan citizens to the international press in That same day, a political sciences professor at the “There is very strong national feeling in “‘Furthermore, the example of The professor goes on: “‘We know what happened in “But according to Abeir Imneina,
‘there also exists the feeling that this is our revolution, and that it is we
who have to make it’.” A few hours after this dispatch was printed, two of the main press
bodies of the United States, The New York Times and The Washington Post,
hastened to offer new versions on the subject; the DPA agency informs on this
on the following day, March the first: “The Libyan opposition could request
that the West bomb from the air strategic positions of the forces loyal to
President Muamar al Gaddafi, the US press informed
today.” “The subject is being discussed inside the Libyan Revolutionary
Council, ‘The New York Times’ and ‘The Washington Post’ specified in their online
versions.” “‘The New York Times’ notes that these discussions reveal the growing
frustration of the rebel leaders in the face of the possibility that Gaddafi
should retake power”. “In the event that air actions are carried out within the United Nations
framework, these would not imply international intervention, explained the
council’s spokesperson, quoted by The New York Times”. “The council is made up of lawyers, academics, judges and prominent
members of Libyan society.” The dispatch states: “‘The Washington Post’ quoted rebels acknowledging that, without
Western backing, combat with the forces loyal to Gaddafi could last a long
time and cost many human lives.” It is noteworthy that in that regard, not one single worker, peasant
or builder is mentioned, not anyone related to material production or any
young student or combatant among those who take part in the demonstrations.
Why the effort to present the rebels as prominent members of society
demanding bombing by the Some day we shall know the truth, through persons such as the
political sciences professor from the Today on Wednesday, the second of March, the EFE Agency presents the
well-known rebel spokesperson making statements that, in my opinion, affirm
and at the same time contradict those made on Monday: “ “‘Our Army cannot launch attacks against the mercenaries, due to their
defensive role’, stated the spokesperson for the rebels, Abdelhafiz
Ghoga, at a press conference in “‘A strategic air attack is different from a foreign intervention
which we reject’, emphasized the spokesperson for the opposition forces which
at all times have shown themselves to be against a foreign military
intervention in the Libyan conflict”. Which one of the many imperialist wars would this look like? The one in Without excluding, of course, the mercenary invasion of the Bay of
Pigs, the dirty war and the blockade of our Homeland throughout 50 years,
that will have another anniversary next April 16th. In all those wars, like that of For anyone harbouring any doubts, about the inevitable military
intervention that shall occur in Libya, the AP news agency, which I consider
to be well-informed, headlined a cable printed today which stated: “The NATO
countries are drawing up a contingency plan taking as its model the flight
exclusion zones established over the Balkans in the 1990s, in the event that
the international community decides to impose an air embargo over Libya,
diplomats said”. Further on it concludes: “Officials, who were not able to give their
names due to the delicate nature of the matter, indicated that the opinions
being observed start with the flight exclusion zone that the western military
alliance imposed over Bosnia in 1993 that had the mandate of the Security
Council, and with the NATO bombing in Kosovo in 1999, THAT DID NOT HAVE IT”. |
