August 21 2011

On Saturday, 20 August 2011, on 20: 00, that is, immediately after Iftar, the break in the fast of the month of Ramadan, the Atlantic Alliance launched Operation Mermaid Dawn.



The sirens were the loudspeakers of the mosques, which were used to announce al-Qaida’s demand to rebel against the government of Gaddafi. The "sleeping cells of the rebels" immediately began fighting. Organized into small, very mobile groups, they committed numerous attacks. In night battles, 350 people died and 3000 was injured.

On Sunday, during the day, the situation stabilized.

NATO ship, anchored near Tripoli, unloaded heavy weapon and al-Qaida jihadist groups under the command of Alliance officers.

The fighting that began on Sunday night was extremely fierce. UAVs and NATO aircraft continued to bomb in all directions. NATO helicopters machine-gunned civilians in the streets, clearing the way for the jihadists.

In the evening, a convoy of vehicles carrying the country's top officials came under fire. This forced them to take refuge in the Rixos hotel, where representatives of the foreign press are based. NATO did not dare to bomb the hotel to avoid casualties among its own journalists. However, now, the hotel where I am, is being shelled from all sides.

In 23: 30, the Ministry of Health could only report that hospitals were overcrowded. By the beginning of the evening, it became known about 1300 dead and 5000 injured.

The Security Council ordered NATO to protect civilians. In fact, France and the United Kingdom just staged another colonial massacre.

On Monday, 1: 00: Khamis Gaddafi arrived at the Rixos in person to deliver weapons to protect the hotel. Then he left. Around the hotel is a tough fight.

VOLTAIRE NETWORK PRESS RELEASE

VOLTAIRE NETWORK | TRIPOLI (LIBYA) | 22 AUGUST 2011

Tripoli: The Voltaire Network is extremely alarmed by the deadly threat hanging over Mahdi Darius Nazemroyya and Thierry Meyssan.

Voltaire Network, Monday, 22 August 2011 13: 20 GMT - The Voltaire Network is extremely concerned about the threats made to two network team members in Tripoli. Mahdi Darius Nazemroya, Research Fellow at the Center for Globalization Studies, and Thierry Meyssan, President and Founder of the Voltaire Network and Axis for Peace Conference, are at the Rixos Hotel, which has a fierce battle around. He was reportedly ordered to kill them.

Thierry Meyssan has been in Tripoli since June 23 2011. At first, he headed the introductory mission of the Voltaire Network partners. In the past two months, he conducted a journalistic investigation of the conflict. His position differs from that of his colleagues in this: he describes the uprising as minority actions, justifying a classical military operation in the eyes of world public opinion.

Whatever the positions taken by Mahdi Darius Nazemroyya and Thierry Meyssan, their killing would be completely unacceptable. Mahdi Darius Nazemroya and Thierry Meyssan are not belligerents, but journalists. Those who support this war, thinking that it is a question of democracy and freedom, cannot condone the murder of journalists.

Currently, five states have offered them diplomatic protection. But the battle around the hotel prevents them from leaving the building; some of the interested embassies are also surrounded, which makes access there impossible.

Knowing about the threat hanging over them, Mahdi Darius Nazemroyya and Thierry Meyssan have no intention of exposing themselves to a “stray bullet”.

And I still had doubts about al Qaeda!
The USA and Al Qaeda, one field of berry. And the tales of Osama Bin Laden and the rams of skyscrapers in the United States, and the killing of their citizens, also from there. The lie is so global that an ordinary person can’t figure anything out.

[Varnaga]

It has long been known that the so-called AKM rebels are members.

Anecdote to the theme- In North Africa, a deposit of democracy has been discovered. Development is carried out in the traditional way - by bombardment.

[AleksUkr]

What else did you expect? In fact, the United States, hiding behind certain slogans that even our fake patriots really like, are solving their tasks. There is a deliberate regime change in North Africa. Rebels are appointees or overwhelming poverty who have been fueled by promises, handouts and other promises. . What's next? And then there will be what will be. Those who will not contradict the West will come to power. And we, too, signed our stupidity, and in fact support them. We have lost an elementary sense of danger. What awaits us? We have become an appendage of the US government. It seems Zyuganov said that our so-called leaders are following the instructions of the American Politburo with the speed of light.

Al-Qaeda is a rather conventional name, just an invented "horror story" to fool the inhabitants of Western countries. Bin Laden was trained and trained during the Afghan war, and who financed, armed, directed him is not a secret for a long time. It’s clear that there are mercenaries of a large number of countries in Libya who have been promised a long dollar or a long euro, and are paying it steadily. This is called business in the modern world. A very profitable business at the state level.

This whole situation is reminiscent of the years 38-41, Then Hitler whom "caress", whom dragging, crushed under himself. And the damned Anglo-Saxons welcomed it, of course, because there is a fight against communism. (Then the word "democracy" was somehow out of use). I do not call the NATO organization anything other than fascist, because the first sign of fascism is to decide for others who will live, who will not live. This principle is now being implemented by NATO. I don't want to talk about our leadership anymore, they are hostages of what 20 years ago our country (which one, the USSR or the Russian Federation) was put in such a position on the international arena. It is disgusting to listen to any Svanidze and other "analysts" talking about a "bloody dictator", "democracy", etc. And here is the dictator, if ordinary peaceful people are still killed under the bombs. I want to say a lot, my brain is boiling, but the feeling of powerlessness suffocates. Though people on this site are more or less adequate.

"A NATO ship anchored near Tripoli has unloaded heavy weapons and groups of al-Qaeda jihadists under the command of Alliance officers." This would convey this to the minds of all average Americans and Europeans. I don’t think they would be happy if they knew that Al Qaeda and NATO are working together.
