get ready to be raped Libya
Libya consists of over 15O tribes, with the two main groups, the Meghabra living in Tripolitania in the west and the Wafallah living in Cyrenaica in the east. Previous attempts to unite these tribes by the Turkish (1855-1911) and ltalian {1911-43) colonial rulers failed and the country was split in two for administrative purposes.
Oil was discovered in Libya in 1959, but King ldris of the Senussi tribe allowed most of the oil profits to be siphoned into the coffers of the oil companies. The coup d'etat on 1 September 1969 led by Colonel Gadaffi had countrywide support. He subsequently married a woman from the royal Barqa tribe and adroitly unified the nation.
By retaining Libya's oil wealth for the benefit of all its people, Gadaffi had created a socialist paradise. There is no unemployment, Libya has the highest GDP in .Africa, less than 5% of the population is classified as poor and it has fewer people living below the poverty datum line than for example in Holland. Life expectancy is 75 years and is the highest in Africa and I0% above the world average.
With the exception of the nomadic Bedouin and Tuareg tribes, most Libyan families possess a house and a car. There is free health care and education and not surprisingly Libya has a literacy rate of 82%. Last year Gadaffi distributed $500 to each man, woman and child (population 6.5 million).
Libya has a tolerable human rights record and stands at 61 on the International Incarceration Index, comparable with countries in central Europe (the lower the rating, the lower the standing - the USA occupies the no.1 spot!). There is hardly any crime and only rebels and traitors are dealt with harshly.
Anyone who has read Gadaffi's little Green Book will realize that he is a thoughtful and enlightened leader. Libya has been accused of having committed numerous acts of terrorism in the past, but many of these have been perpetrated by foreign intelligence agencies as false flag operations - the Lockerbie bombing being a prime example.
The CIA and MI6 and their frontmen have been stoking up dissent in the east of the country for almost 30 years. Libya produces exceptionally high quality light crude oil and its production cost of $1 a barrel, compared to the current price of $115, is the lowest in the world (there is even a slip up on CNN about this where they interview an ex-CIA guy off script and he verifies this).
Riba (usury) is not permitted. The Central bank of Libya is a wholly-owned by the Libyan Government and is run as a state bank, issuing all government loans free of interest. This is in contrast to the exploitative fractional reserve banking system of the West. The no-fly zone and the bombing of Libya have nothing to do with the protection of civilians. It is an act of war a blatant and crude attempt by the oil corporations and international bankers to steal the wealth of Libya.
at the same time i am aware her did a lot of bad things, just not as bad as the stuff the US and UK and some others do
conclusion: we didn't like how libya had so many natural resources and yet didn't put them into the "free" market where we could make trillions from them. We also didn't like that he wanted to unify north africa under a single currency. Also I spoke to a lecturer once who said something about why france was so interested in Libya because of a neighbouring country but can't remember facts.
you can ask many similar questions, like how come opium production has increased 5000% in Afghanistan since our occupation?
Or you can just watch or read the news..
The thing is the West (and most of its inhabitants) have grown up in the modern age with the thought that dictatorship is wrong, and their morals and believes are the only just ones.
Which is quite laughable, there is a lot to be said in favor of dictatorship over democracy!
Regardless of what form of government is best, overthrowing one that doesnt conform to your views is wrong, especially if you look at the incredible hypocrite nature of the West.
Imagine all the countries that dont have a democracy have the same attitude as the West and want to spread their form of government to the rest of the world (ex. China), you wouldn't support that now would you?
Don't be so fast to jump to conclusions, and so quick to defend the West's "enlightend' view, it might not be as definitive as you think.
And i would rather a Neo-democrocy where the people only have to vote when its needed. I could make a long ass post on what ideas i have but its late and i wanna go to sleep we could switch PM's with idea's
it would be interesting to know how many innocent people the USA and UK have killed in the past 40 years and compare it to how many gadaffi killed.
e. checked google. i dont think it is him on that pic?! :o
