US fomenting violence in Libya (24 February 2001 -Associated press / Forbes.com)

Venezuela and Cuba have both stated that the USA is organising the unrest in Libya to justify an invasion in order to seize oil reserves.

Venezuelan Foreign Minister Nicolas Maduro questioned the truthfulness of media reports on Libya.

"They are creating conditions to justify an invasion of Libya," Maduro said.

Castro has said the unrest in Libya might be a pretext by the US to push for a NATO invasion.

The National Conference for the Libyan Opposition was formed in 2005 in London, and is led by the National Front for the Salvation of Libya (NFSL).

The most recent National Congress of the NFSL was held in the United States in July, 2007.

The CIA trains and finances the NFSL.

The CIA's Freedom House has agents from Libya.

PressTV - 'Gaddafi will not flee from Libya'

According to Ali al-Ahmed, director of the Institute for Gulf Affairs:

"Gaddafi ... has a lot of loyalists...

"Unlike other leaders, Gaddafi, himself, does not live a life of luxury...

"He basically lives a fairly simple life and until a month and a half ago he was walking in Tripoli among the people without fear of anybody attacking him. So, he has support within the Libyan society...

"I remember reading a book by Mr. Gaddafi. It was called The Village.

"He wanted to keep Libya basically like a village and maybe that is his own vision to keep the country like a village, because he said the village is purer and does not have the same sins of the city...

"Libya ... is one of the biggest investors in North Africa...

"He has a lot of supporters, who are willing to die for him for sure...

"The fact that he continued to rule for this long tells you that he still has a lot of supporters among the Libyan people...

"Regarding the United States' statement, they have always wanted to make him look bad because he was their enemy."

Voice of Libyan People

"The Voice of the Libyan People had a four year career with broadcasts against Muammar Qadhafi and Libya between 1984 and 1988.

"It was proclaimed as the voice for the National Front for the Salvation of Libya (NFSL)...

"This group, according to Perry Shultz, established ties with the CIA...

"The station began broadcasting from the Sudan in March 1984 as a psychological warfare tool, just two months before the NFSL attempted a coup. The coup was crushed...

"The CIA planned another covert action, called Flower / Rose, which consisted of an armed NFSL rebellion based in Egypt, Algeria and Chad in 1986...

From 1987-89 Israel and USA were training a "contra force of libyans" in west and central african countries.

"It also appears that the NFSL is already armed to the teeth and waging a military campaign against Qadaffi on the back of US-stoked regional instability.

"Even Qaddafi himself is accusing the West of arming the NFSL in this latest round of Libyan unrest.

"BBC propagandist Jon Leyne's unlikely narrative that Qaddafi's security forces were overwhelmed by unarmed protesters first in Banghazi's city center, then nearly 10 miles to the east at Benina International Airport and a nearby army base defies reality."

US TO INVADE LIBYA?

Mubarak wanted Nukes, to deter Israel.

The United States does not rule out military action 'in response to the Libyan crackdown'. (Gun battles rage in Libya, US examines options )

Remember when NATO broke up Yugoslavia.

British special forces are ready to go to Libya (Libya: Special forces could help evacuate stranded oil workers)

UK and US special forces have already been working alongside Libyan special forces. (SAS trains Libyan troops - Telegraph)

The US and Libyan military sometimes work together.

On 23 February 2011, Yoichi Shimatsu, at New America Media, writes that America's Next War Looms in Libya

From this we learn:

1. On 22 February 2011, Gaddafi accused the USA of organising the current rebellion against his regime.

Now there are calls for the U.S. military to impose a no-fly zone over Libyan airspace, as was done over Kosovo during the NATO campaign to partition Yugoslavia in the late 1990s.

"In the Balkans case, the no-fly policy led to shoot-downs followed by an invasion of ground troops."

2. The Pentagon has a special forces base in the southwestern region of Fezzan in Libya.

Under a $165 million contract, General Dynamics provided high-tech communications for Libya's mobile elite forces.

The US Embassy's Jared Caplan talking with Libyan officials in the south region of Libya.

3. As shown in U.S. diplomatic cables, the US intrigues against Gadhafi involve secret ties with the Islamic Fighting Group, or al-Jamaa al-Islamiyya al-Muqatilah, which is on the State Department list of terrorist groups.

4. When confronted by Libyan officials, Al Jazeera producers admitted to broadcasting faked tapes.

For example, fake tapes of jets flying (in daylight) over protesters (in nighttime darkness).

That admission of falsified images could back the regime's claims of atrocities against civilians being exaggerated and sometimes fabricated.

5. What is happening across North Africa, is a U.S.-sponsored Islamic uprising, similar to the bloody Muslim coup against Indonesian independence leader Sukarno.

6. Mubarak wanted Egypt to have nuclear weapons in order to restrain Israeli aggression in Gaza and Lebanon.

The supplier of uranium would be Libya.

There has been a French-Libyan agreement to jointly build a civilian nuclear power plant, proposed during President Nicholas Sarkozy's visit to Tripoli in July 2007.

Libyan-Chadian uranium could be transported to Egypt via Ben Ali's Tunisia.

"Washington, as the protector of Israel's nuclear monopoly over the Mideast and Africa, went for a takedown of all three regimes."

EGYPTIANS BEGIN TO STARVE; REGRET COUP

Memphis, Egypt by bsargentina

On 24 February 2011, at the Christian Science Monitor, we read that ordinary Egyptians wish their revolution had never happened

According to the Christian Science Monitor:

1. In recent weeks, Umm Karim, a mother of four, has only been able to afford one meal per day.

"Her teenage sons both lost their jobs when the factory they worked in burned down in Egypt's revolution."

2. "Some Egyptians are beginning to wish that their own revolution had never happened."

3. "Shaban doesn't know how he is going to find money to feed his children dinner.

"Since the revolution started, he has not had a job."

Shaban wasn't involved in Egypt's protests.

4. In Shaban's town of al-Maraziq, building projects are halted and business ventures have been disrupted.

A mechanic in al-Maraziq says that business has declined.

He now pays more for paints and spare parts.

His 11-year-old nephew now misses going to school.

5. Umm Karim says: "I wish the revolution never happened."
