SCOTLAND'S PART IN THE 'LOOTING AND KILLING' IN LIBYA

NATO's destruction of Libya.

Reportedly, Scotland is playing its part in the 'looting and killing' in Libya.

On 5 July 2011, it was reported that the first Leuchars-Scotland-based Typhoon crews to have deployed in support of NATO's Operation Unified Protector, which kills the civilian population in Libya, have returned from their base in Italy.

With a decision on the future of RAF Leuchars said to be "imminent," the airmen are part of the significant contribution the base makes to killing operations around the world.

In addition to the ground crew, support personnel and pilots that Leuchars is providing to maintain the killing operation in Libya, members of Number 6 Force Protection Wing, based in Fife, are in Afghanistan, protecting Camp Bastion.

TheRAF is playing its part in the killings.

Royal Bank of Scotland held Libyan cash - Telegraph

A document obtained by pressure group Global Witness shows that about $110m of Libya's wealth was managed by Royal Bank of Scotland.

By the end of the first six months of 2010 the value of this holding had fallen to $74.4m.

In Libya, the NATO Rebels castrate and sodomise boys who refuse to adopt the rebel cause.

Susan Linauer worked for the CIA at the United Nations, covering the issue of 'Libya and Lockerbie'.

She writes:

1. My CIA handler Dr Richard Fuisz swore under oath, in the US District Court of Virginia, that:

Pan Am 103 was a false flag operation to hide a CIA team's involvement in heroin trafficking out of the Bekaa Valley.

2. Dr. Fuisz explained that Defense Intelligence officer Major Charles Dennis McKee and CIA officer Matthew Gannon were flying back to Washington on Pan Am 103 with evidence exposing the heroin ring when a bomb exploded on the plane.

• The rebels cut the throats of prisoners.

Video shows that the NATO Rebels castrate and sodomise boys who refuse to join the NATO rebels.

5. Tribal Leaders in Libya plan to seek mega-damages from NATO governments.

Financial damages are already estimated at $2.8 billion, according to Patrick Haseldine, an expert on Libya's conflict with NATO. And the costs rise daily.

Libya's Ministry of Health has compiled statistics of civilian deaths and injuries caused by NATO bombings from 3/19/11-6/27/11.

The findings are confirmed by the Red Crescent Society (Islam's version of the Red Cross), civil defense workers in the bombed neighborhoods, and Nassar University in Tripoli.

During the first 100 days of NATO bombings, 928 adults were killed, and 4,411 injured.

NATO bombs also killed 141 children.

SNP SPEAKS OUT ON PALESTINE, LOCKERBIE AND IRAQ

copyright © 2005 by James F. Perry



The Scottish Government is speaking out about Lockerbie, Iraq and Palestine.



The Scottish Government curently has limited powers, but hopes to achieve independence for Scotland.



1. On 15 May 2011, we learn that Scotland's new Scottish National Party government aims to publish evidence which suggests that Megrahi may not have done the 1988 Lockerbie bombing.



The Scottish Government plans to change the law to allow the publication of papers from the Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission.



The Commission said there were six grounds for thinking a miscarriage of justice had occurred.



SNP plans law change over Lockerbie files



Currently the release of the Lockerbie files can be blocked by one or more of the parties who gave evidence to the review.



Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond said in February 2011 that he would change the law if the SNP won a second term.



Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill told the Scottish Sunday Express: "This is something the new SNP Government will do in early course. We have always been as transparent as possible.



"And following the announcement last December that the SCCRC was unable to secure the necessary consents to release its statement of reasons in the Megrahi case due to current legislation we now intend to bring forward primary legislation to overcome those problems presented by the consent provisions."

2. Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond says that an independent Scotland would follow its own foreign policy.



Alex Salmond says that an independent Scotland would not have taken part in the war in Iraq.



According to Alex Salmond, "(Iraq) stresses why you've got to ... chart your own way in the world so you don't get entangled into illegal and disastrous international conflicts".



(Alex Salmond: Scotland 'would share military' under independence / Scotland's Salmond says could share military / SNP lowers sights to 'independence-lite')



3. The Scottish National Party wants Scotland to be rid of Trident nuclear weapons.



The UK military employs 20,000 people in Scotland.



The UK military spends an average 600 million pounds a year in Scotland on 500 contracts.



Alex Salmond's Scottish National Party wants to keep its military.



According to Alex Salmond:



"Many many countries in the world share military facilities with friendly neighbours, and there is absolutely no reason why Scotland wouldn't be prepared to do that."



4. The Scottish First Minister supports sanctions against Israel

The SNP has called for the suspension of EU-Israel agreements.

UNEMPLOYMENT DOWN

Dunoon

Unemployment has fallen and economic growth has increased in Scotland according to the latest figures.

(Economy recovering under SNP Government)

There is strong growth in construction.

The fall in unemployment in Scotland is in contrast to a rise in unemployment across the rest of the UK.

Amazon is to create new jobs jobs in Dunfermline and Gourock.

A deal between INEOS and Petrochina will see investment in the Grangemouth oil refinery and secure more than 2,000 jobs.

Other recent negotiations with China have paved the way for major expansion potential into China and elsewhere.

~~

With oil at nearly $100 a barrel, Scotland should be fabulously rich.

But, many Scots are planning to vote for the parties of war and poverty, the parties that want to prevent Scotland from becoming independent.

Britain’s Labour Party is on course to regain power in the Scottish Parliament as supporters of the Liberal Democrats defect, according to the latest opinion poll. (Bloomberg)

Labour will increase taxes.
