Back in the UK, after several months spent in Libya covering NATO war crimes and uncovering mainstream media lies, freelance journalist Lizzie Phelan continues to fight for truth and justice on behalf of the Libyan people. Her testimony below is a gripping example of her commitment.

Lizzie Phelan spent her last days in Libya - where she was reporting for PressTV - trapped in the Rixos Hotel, together with Thierry Meyssan, Mahdi Nazemroaya and two other members of the Voltaire Network team.

She said a Western-backed genocide is taking place in Libya and there are no independent journalists left on the ground to cover the story.

Al-Qa'eda-linked LIFG rebels and NATO waging counterrevolution in Libya. Right wing death squads running Libya with NATO support.

Neocolonization of Africa underway for years.

What has the NDP said about Libya being handed over to Al-Qa'eda-linked LIFG terrorists and U.S.-backed al-Qa'eda in general?

How many brave CBC reporters have we had in Libya reporting on the covert CIA-MI6-DGSE-LIFG-Qa'eda-NATO operation in Libya?

  Canada conducted 820 air strikes, some 9% of all NATO strikes. Canada conducted 352 aerial refuelling sorties, some 7% of all NATO refuelling sorties. We conducted 85% of all aerial maritime patrol sorties, some 151 sorties. We dropped 600 laser-guided bombs.

    We did our part. We did important work. We are proud of the work done by our soldiers. We are proud of their actions. I would like to personally thank them for their excellent work and I know that all of my colleagues, of all political stripes, join me in thanking them.

    However, we are now in a different place. The reality is not the same as a few months ago and the needs have changed. The support Canada can provide has also changed and must adapt to the new reality. Tripoli has been liberated, the dictatorial regime has fallen, and fighting between forces loyal to the old regime and the rebels is limited to three cities. Life is beginning to get back to normal, particularly in the capital.

    The balance that existed has been reversed. On the one hand, the Gadhafi regime has been limited and is no longer in a position to ensure the country's sovereignty or to make mass attacks on civilians. It has lost. The regime has been defeated.

    The National Transitional Council, on the other hand, is recognized and supported by the international community. It has established and stabilized its positions in nearly the entire country and has achieved its first objective, which was to crush Moammar Gadhafi's regime. It has won. The people have triumphed over fear.

    If we compare the situation from six months ago, or even three months ago, to today's, no one can deny that the country is doing better. No one can deny that the collapse of the regime is good news for the people of Libya in general. No one can deny that Libya is headed in the right direction.

    The former government's frozen funds have been, for the most part, unlocked by the international community. These billions of dollars are now available to the NTC to begin the reconstruction of the new Libya.

    Unfortunately, today's Libya lacks solid institutions, the rule of law, and national structures capable of meeting the people's needs. Libya is currently a country in need of humanitarian, logistical and technical support. The most worrisome threats today are the absence of the rule of law, corruption, a broken justice system and unmet basic needs. First of all, this country needs our expertise in order to build the future.

They can see that Libya's Brave New World is within the peoples grasp with a little help from us North Americans. It is so nice to have almost godlike power to decide who to bomb so that we can lead them to a future made in the likeness of our superior culture minus our secular nature of course. Apparently they are not ready yet in Libya to be released from the shackles of religion.

Like Saddam Hussein, Moammar Qadaffi was leading them away from Islamic fundamentalism and religion in Libya, whereas the Western world and especially the USA have been quietly but actively supporting the spread of militant Islam throughout Central Asia and Middle East since the 1950s.

The USA & NATO have worked with Al-Qa'eda to create militant Islamic bases in 1990s Bosnia, Macedonia, Chechnya, Dagestan and so on.

bin Laden and the rest of these western-backed "revolutionaries" are rabidly anti-communist and working toward creating a neofeudal-theocratic order of right wing fundamentalism in dozens of countries. If they didn't have militant Islam in Libya before, they will now with the CIA, Brits and Qaeda working toward creating an Islamic emirate of the Maghreb region across Northern Africa. Destabilization is what the CIA has done long time. Creating general conditions of chaos and mayhem has been their long game for democracy prevention.

US-backed militant Islam is the greatest the greatest threat to women's rights and basic human rights in general in Asia and Africa, and the CIA and Brits fully understand what the end results are since the 1950s.

Was it about the move to a new gold currency?

If we listen to certain people claiming to be progressives, then, no, it was not about the oil or a new African currency. It's not only unthinkable, it's also unAmerican and anti-Atlantic Western world to even suggest it.

If we listen to certain people claiming to be progressives, this was nothing more than popular peoples' uprisings against oppressive governments in Libya, Bahrain, Egypt, Tunisia etc. And to discuss anything to the contrary or point out other information not reported by lapdog newz media is, amazingly, equated with denigrating the 'peoples' rebellions' unfolding so very badly today in Libya, Tunisia, Egypt and so on. We are quickly labelled enemies of all that is good for even thinking such things. These are peoples' rebellions, and the CIA and MI6, DGSE. Mossad etc could not possibly have anything to do with creating conditions of chaos and mayhem. How dare we. 20 lashes and the rack!

If we listen to certain people claiming to be progressives, then all of this anti-imperialist talk is merely conspiracy theory without merit. And these self-styled progressives will have none of your anti-imperialist talk in general and will often react by smearing us as heretics not so unlike Catholic and Spanish inquisitors of the 13th-14th centuries.

If Murder Inc. had not slain Patrice Lumumba in the 1960s for representing a political threat to the neocolonisation of Africa, then surely they would have no case.

And if Iraq and Libya, Venezuela, Iran etc were major exporters of broccholi in the decade of the 2000s and not oil before the Gladio Gang launched economic and propaganda warfare and even military blitzkriegs against those sovereign countries since, then we heretics on the left would surely have no case.

The Glasnost is half full.

NATO, Al Qaeda Militia Killed Gaddafi

Quote:
Press TV: Why is it that the no-fly zone continues, and is there a safety issue with Gaddafi out of the picture still?

Chossudovsky: Well, the “no-fly zone” isn't really a no-fly zone, it's an invasion, it's an occupation by NATO forces in derogation of the sovereignty of Libya and the Libyan people. Why is it continuing? Well, because there's no resistance to the invaders.

We must understand that this country has been bombed with 10,000 strike sorties, tens of thousands of people have been killed - there's no actua tally of casualities, but when you launch more than 10,000 strike sorties with more than 50,000 bombs, you can expect that this will not be quite as "humanitarian" as laid out in Security Council Resolution 1973.

That is why these bombing raids are continuing because the National Transitional Council still does not control the entire country as there are pockets of resistance which prevail.

The war on democracy continues.

And didn't the south Vietnamese people rise up to resist encroachments from the North, with the assistance of their sisters and brothers in arms...the US Army and the CIA?

Yes the American soldiers, average age was 19 or 20?, were told that they were being sent to Vietnam to stop a communist insurgency from taking over the democratic South. It was a lie. Because had there been free and fair elections, Ho Chi Minh would have won by a landslide over the corrupt military regime they were propping-up in the South. 20 days after Ngo Dinh Diem was murdered with rubberstamp approval of the U.S. Military dictatorship, President Kennedy was shot to death at a turkey shoot in Dallas, Texas.

"...this analyst forcefully explains the threat that the Libyan leader posed to Western interests and why he had to be taken out. 'What's happening in Libya is a harbinger of what the West has in store for Africa - This war is ot just about Gaddafi. It is an opening salvo in a war to reclaim the continent for foreign interests.."

The purported Al Qaeda link in Mali appears incongruous. The Tuareg rebels - a nomadic group inhabiting northern Mali and Niger - were formerly fighting in Libya in support of the Gaddafi government against Western-backed insurgents. The Western-backed Libyan insurgents are known to have comprised Al Qaeda jihadists. Now it is being claimed by France and media reports that Al Qaeda are in league with their former enemies - the Tuareg - in the takeover of Mali. What these various reports suggest is that Al Qaeda is being raised as a "spectre" over Africa to justify increased intervention by Western powers in that continent under the guise of "global security".
