US/Al Qaida Genocidal Oil Dictatorship Torturing Black Libyans: Obama & NY Times say Rigged Election was Cool — by NormanB (“Deviations from the Norm”)

 

These guys did not get to vote, even though no one could possibly be more patriotic than them: During their Torture at the hands of US-backed mercenaries in this video, watch them forced to eat green Libyan flags.

 

 

Before the Obama Administration’s US Military crushed Arab Spring by starting its war against Libya, that country’s leader Moammar Gaddafi enjoyed wide support among Black Africans living mainly in Libya’s South. After the US hired Al Qaida mercenaries to overthrow Gaddafi, the new Al Qaida Dictatorship now running Libya carried out widespread repression, Torture, and Genocide against Black Africans. I have seen no reports that any Black Africans voted in the Parliamentary Election there this weekend.

US President Barack Obama’s praise of the Libyan Election was quite echoic of his praise for the “Elections” following the Fascist takeovers that were parts of his Administration’s Administrative coup de tats that Obama’s CIA carried out in Honduras in 2010, in the Maldives earlier this year, and in Paraguay two weeks ago. The New York Times propaganda headline yesterday also said it was a mainly good Election. The problem I see with it is the Election workers Assassinated, polling officials Murdered, and the ballots burned. l call that a “Rigged Election.” But President Obama and inept media with misinformed readers and viewers call it cool. http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/07/08/us-libya-elections-obama-idUSBRE86700X20120708

The New York Times quotes an official of the Fascist Al Qaida regime, an apparent propagandist, saying that it was “very peaceful.” Helicopter shot down, Assassinations, ballots burned …. mainly without incident. http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/news/world/libyans-vote-in-first-election-in-more-than-40-years-643722/

Yahoo/AP reports that two people were Murdered carrying out the Election. HuffPost claims just one. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/07/libya-election_n_1656370.html?utm_hp_ref=world Someone shot down a helicopter carrying Election equipment. Also, two rockets were fired at the Benghazi Medical Center. http://www.focus-fen.net/index.php?id=n282600

Like most wars, this one was fought to raise the price of Oil. This one also had the direct effect stealing Oil that a country had been using to support itself, and handing that Oil and its attendant economy to Oil corporations. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-01-19/conoco-books-tanker-to-ship-libyan-oil-to-u-s-shipbrokers-say.htm Mercenaries during the 2011 US War on Libya were paid by BP, Blackwater, and ultimately, by US. At the top of the page is a recent video upload of Black Africans still being Tortured by the current Libyan mercenary Dictatorship. US-backed Al Qaida mercenaries have stuffed Libyan flags into Black people’s mouths, and are forcing them to eat the flags.

The US-backed Al Qaida Torture Atrocities include gang rapes against Black Libyan women. http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2011/09/07/123403/african-women-say-rebels-raped.html#storylink=omni_popular

And here are more Torture videos, and background information, if you’re not sick enough from what you’ve already read and seen. Firedoglake.com is one of the only US media outlets covering the Libya situation, instead of Covering it Up.

Prison Planet noted that the fully corporate Huffington Post favored the invasion. http://www.prisonplanet.com/obama-prepares-invasion-of-libya-under-humanitarian-cover.html

Here is President Obama lying about the US invasion of Libya, and the US-backed Al Qaida Genocide against the Black people of Libya. He claims it to be a “broad international effort” when in fact more than 95% of the bombing runs were by US Military aircraft. He claims that the invasion avoided Humanitarian catastrophe, when in fact it brought Genocide against the Black people there. President Obama lies to the American people in this video, seeking to legitimize his War Crimes in Libya. Please compare his bullshit to the more level-headed words of Russian President Vladimir Putin in the video that follows. http://live.wsj.com/video/obama-libya-mission-averted-humanitarian-disaster/3064390D-03DB-4704-BB89-FDE823C86DD9.html#!3064390D-03DB-4704-BB89-FDE823C86DD9

 

You’ll note that President Obama claims his attack on Benghazi is noble. You’ll also note that Benghazi is one place where ballots were burned and looted. http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/07/07/us-libya-elections-protest-idUSBRE86604920120707

That last report was from RT out of Russia. Of course, US-backed far-Right Libyan mercenaries arrested Journalists from Press TV of Iran during the conflict. http://www.presstv.ir/detail/228888.html

The British later revoked their license. http://www.rt.com/news/iranian-presstv-license-revoked-333/ The US Government named the Journalists at both Press TV and RT of Russia as enemies. If you’ve never watched them, both are much better journalism than we usually find on PBS, on Fox, or on ABCNNBCBS.

 

Of course, one of the first things NATO did in Libya was bomb the Journalists in the broadcast center. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/libya/8560856/Libyan-state-television-claims-Nato-bombed-broadcast-centre.html

The US-installed Fascist Government in Libya immediately initiated Fascist Reforms, and cracked down on Freedom of the Press. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/jun/22/libyan-misrata-tough-foreign-media

Tiananmen Update: Obama Thugs Torture Journalists, Activists; and Murder Pro-Democracy Protesters

Tiananmen Update: Obama Thugs Torture Journalists, Activists; and Murder Pro-Democracy Protesters — by NormanB (“Deviations from the Norm”)

In Yemen and Bahrain, Government forces loyal to President Obama [and to his puppet dictators Ali Abdullah Saleh and the Al Khalifa Dynasty, respectively] are now Torturing journalists and activists [with beatings, rubber bullets, teargas, other methods]. Obama’s thugs are murdering many peaceful pro-democracy protesters.

Al Jazeera’s live “crawl” info across the bottom of its screen gives the running death toll. Enforcers armed by the Obama Administration are also attacking non-violent democracy demonstrators in Iraq.

President Obama tonight (in a move that was hypocritical, irresponsible, and deceptive) seized on reports of violence in Iran for an opportunity to lie publicly about the revolution in Egypt. Obama claimed that the Iranian Government’s response differed from the Egyptian Government’s response in that the Egyptian forces had refrained from shooting at the protesters.

That was a blatant lie. A Suleiman thug shot a journalist through the head, but Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President Obama still supported turning the Egyptian Government over from Mubarak to Suleiman. The latest count says the Obama-Suleiman thugs murdered 364 Egyptian activists and reporters.

The President also pretended to be unaware that his forces (people he’s paying) are Torturing and killing peaceful pro-democracy demonstrators in Yemen, Bahrain, and Iraq.

The US Administration seems determined to stay on the wrong side of history. Secretary Clinton this week assured the Yemeni Government that hundreds of millions of dollars more in weapons are coming, apparently to aid in the crackdown on democracy.

The US has sent Coward Drones, operated by cowards in the US and elsewhere, to kill and terrorize the people of Yemen, the poorest populace in the Middle East.

The $170 million the Obama Administration gave Saleh last year comprises two-thirds of the quarter-billion dollars the US sent him in the past decade. Hence, the thugs Torturing and murdering peaceful civilians there for merely asserting their Human Rights are American forces, contract killers for the Greater Chicago area, paid by US.

President Obama has claimed that his position as President of Greater Chicago [and de facto leader of the Daley Machine/Capone Syndicate] grants him authority to order gangland-style hits – assassinations against Muslims anywhere in the world.

The President has been especially adamant on his presumed righteousness in sending hitmen into Yemen, where he intends to have his thugs murder American-born Pentagon confidant Anwar Al-Awlaki. Obama alleges that Al-Awlaki “inspired” a crime and a fake bomb.

http://news.firedoglake.com/2010/10/21/rumsfelds-defense-department-invited-anwar-al-awlaki-into-pentagon-after-911/

There allegedly was a time when the United States stood for something more. I’ve been conditioned to believe there was a time when the US Government did not order hitmen to murder people merely suspected of crime. That same system had me believing that Americans don’t Torture. President Pinocchio said as much.

The US news media, I’m conditioned to believe, used to report when the Government was involved in corruption. Now, every day, Al Jazeera demonstrates how inept US reporting has become. In 1991, CNN rocketed to prominence because it was the only US 24-hour news network. Now, 20 years later, we have none. US media falling down on the job propelled Al Jazeera to prominence, as Americans got a taste of legitimate journalism not even being attempted by ABCNNBCBS or Fox.

The Democratic Party, I think, used to complain about corruption in Government. The Democratic Party, I think, used to stand up against Torture and injustice. The Democratic Party used to stand for honesty and decency. Times sure have changed.
