“It is clear that the current period is cascading into paroxysmal revenge attacks and political cleansing.”
What's the difference between the "freedom fighters" and "dictators"?

The media always show you the cheering “liberated people”, because that’s their favorite. They never show you the other side.
Quote, "Gaddafi Mourned Throughout Africa

"Muammar Al-Gaddafi’s death last week prompted an outpouring of sympathy from African countries that he has funded billions of dollars with during his 42-year rule."
"The Associated Press reported that many in Africa are remembering the Libyan dictator as a man willing to give his money away to help others, especially in Mali’s capital city Bamako."
"Other heads of state just drive past here in their limousines. Gadhafi stopped, pushed away his bodyguards and shook our hands," said bird-seller Cherno Diallo, standing Monday near a Libyan-funded hotel as quoted by the Associated Press. "Gadhafi’s death has touched every Malian, every single one of us. We’re all upset."
"Many in Africa who gathered at Gaddafi-funded mosques remembered him as a man who was an anti-Imperialist martyr and benefactor. Analysts estimated that Gaddafi had invested more than $150 billion in foreign aid, mainly to impoverished African nations."

16 Things That Libya Will Never See Again
All newlyweds in Libya receive $60,000 dinar (U.S.$50,000) by the government to buy their first apartment so to help start up the family.
Education and medical treatments are free in Libya. Before Gaddafi only 25 percent of Libyans were literate. Today, the figure is 83 percent.
Should Libyans want to take up farming career, they would receive farming land, a farming house, equipments, seeds and livestock to kickstart their farms are all for free.
If Libyans cannot find the education or medical facilities they need, the government funds them to go abroad, for it is not only paid for, but they get a U.S.$2,300/month for accommodation and car allowance.
If a Libyan buys a car, the government subsidizes 50 percent of the price.
The price of petrol in Libya is $0.14 per liter.
Libya has no external debt and its reserves amounting to $150 billion are now frozen globally.
Now Libya has been reduced to rubble by Obama and his NATO playmates, and what were by far the most extensive social welfare programs in all of Africa have been erased as if they never existed.

Ghaddafi is mourned by those that had financial stake in his regime.

New Libyan "PM" is Big-Oil Goon
Meanwhile, rebels turn guns on each other turning Tripoli into a war zone, again.
by Tony Cartalucci
Correction: Abdurrahim el-Keib is replacing Mahmoud Jibril as "PM" of Libya, not Mustafa Abdul-Jalil as previously stated. This was a typo, the link associated with "Jalil" incorrectly, does in fact cover Jibril's visit to Washington D.C. during the NATO backed war in Libya.
November 2, 2011 - Associated Press recently reported that Libya's rebel militants have named a new "prime minister" this week. AP depicts the latest unelected Western proxy, Abdurrahim el-Keib, as a progressive academic who has spent decades in the United States teaching at Alabama University and leading the local Muslim community. Mentioned briefly as a "former employer," however, is the Petroleum Institute, based in Abu Dhabi, UAE and sponsored by British Petroleum (BP), Shell, France's Total, the Japan Oil Development Company, and the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company. El-Keib is listed as a "Professor and Chairman" in his Petroleum Institute profile which also describes extensive research conducted by him sponsored by various US government agencies and departments over the years.
Words cannot describe the injustice being brought upon Libya, the level of duplicity it was carried out with, and the flagrant looting the nation is now being subjected to by NATO's member states, facilitated by the latest unelected, decades-long servant of Western interests now masquerading as the nation's new "interim prime minister."

Tashah said:I'd heard rumors (years ago) that Ghadaffi raped all of his female guard contingent.
I want to see some merit to this story. Show us some evidence, will you? Make it clear. If everything in the OP is true, then I will view most parties in the Libya conflict as bloodthirsty animals.

Mainstream Media Lies: 23 Things That Are Not What They Seem To Be On Television
Most Americans believe the lie that the mainstream media is "fair and balanced" and is looking out for the interests of average Americans. Well, that simply is not true. Those in the mainstream media serve those that are providing them with paychecks. The reality is that just 6 gigantic corporations collectively own most of the major mainstream media outlets in this country. .....
The following are 23 things that are not what they seem to be on television....
The Lie: Mitt Romney won Iowa.
The Truth: Mitt Romney may not have won Iowa. The following report of a documented vote discrepancy comes from KCCI....
Edward True, 28, of Moulton, said he helped count the votes and jotted the results down on a piece of paper to post to his Facebook page. He said when he checked to make sure the Republican Party of Iowa got the count right, he said he was shocked to find they hadn't.
"When Mitt Romney won Iowa by eight votes and I've got a 20-vote discrepancy here, that right there says Rick Santorum won Iowa," True said. "Not Mitt Romney."
True said at his 53-person caucus at the Garrett Memorial Library, Romney received two votes. According to the Iowa Republican Party's website, True's precinct cast 22 votes for Romney.
So how many other "vote discrepancies" were there in Iowa? Was this just a "coincidence" or did someone do this on purpose?.....
