Reminds me of the CIA backed coup in Tehran 1954. The BBC lied to their audience about that one too which is why Russia Today or any news media that has an interest in telling awkward facts is essential during these times.
Tripoli will fester quicker than Tehran.
You can count on it as surely as you can count on NATO psychopaths to back out once the oil is out of reach.
After bombing Libya in the 80's, selling them arms and then bombing them again, it looks like it may be over for Libya's leader who, like Saddam Hussein, is perfectly capable of murder when necessary but is equally one of the few moderate Islamic leaders in the world with a track record for education and women's rights that are unlikely to be improved upon with the rebels and their Al Qaida/NATO sponsors.
Like Saddam Hussein's Iraq, Libya sits upon the oil that the junkie dependent West cannot resist and Tripoli was one of the few State run banks in the world and thus a threat to the dollar reserve status. Then there's the free market threat of China's business partnerships in Africa. Put simply, each time a UK or European person fills up their tank with gasoline they are filling up on Satanism. It's all about the Pentagon with the Pentagram and regrettably it's not a conspiracy if it's in plain sight and it seems the corn syrup plasma screen classes are Eyes Wide Shut. Stanley Kubrick tried to warn us.

The Western media falsify and manipulate public opinion to justify wars in countries that we otherwise sell weapons to and do lots of business with till it suits us to change our mind. Foreign Policy Journal are doing some of the most honest reporting on the matter. Something to think about that next time you're filling up the car with Libyan oil or getting self righteous over whatever rebels/insurgents you're being instructed to support.
Thomas C Mann is doing the reporting that in a world uncontrolled by corporate interests the New York Times and The Guardian would be doing.
Do you mind if I interrupt your Starbucks Coffee and Pret a Manger sandwich for just one moment? Media is war and the longer we continue to allow the glowing screens of corporate controlled media to shape our opinions, inciting us to war where oil is at stake the deeper the pain will be when war arrives at our doorsteps.
A few weeks ago, I watched clueless and well entrenched media talking-head Paxman embarrassing himself on British TV defending Western imperial bombing of Libya and attacking Noam Chomsky for defending pursuit of peace. Where are our Michele Collon's? We don't have them. Instead we prefer to drive our fossil fuel-mobiles stop off for coffee and a sandwich at lunch and pretend that what we consume, be it oil or labour, has no bearing on the rest of the world. What we consume will consume us. Walk away from it or one day you will have to run.
For one reason or another (bad mathematics and bad people) I ran out of cash recently and after putting down a deposit on my accomodation, I realised I was in a tight corner so I was forced to pull strings I've avoided pulling for some years and managed invoke a vegan diet of roots (like sweet potato), bean sprouts and plantain. Quite a modest one at that too.
But the brilliant learning from this process (every cloud has a silver lining) was that I finally did what I've put off for years which is go a little bit hungry or experience it for longer then I've ever had the courage to endure before. I've realised now that I CAN control my four decade long obsession with Chocolate and Coco-cola and McHashpatties&syrup
Well I'm back on course now so no need to fret, but somehow I'm kind of enjoying even skipping on, or at least moderating my favourite things including those McDonalds breakfasts which I've talked about here with more links in the post.
In any case my parents are the sort of people who brought me up with a number of decent values that I treasure and one of those is that wasting food is obscene and which is one of those values I walk the walk on whatever the context wherever on the planet. I urge you if you haven't given a thought about how cities are fed to watch this powerful TED presentation and recognise the compelling conclusion reached. Rengineering our economies and lives is possible if we use nutrition as the lynch pin, and as I think we'll be compelled to do so, in the not so distant future with the global dynamics such as the impending dollar collapse and rise in oil prices (ergo food prices)
Quite a few of you have asked me about the signature I use on my email and where its from. I found it on Pajamas media which is a U.S. right wing blogging syndicate that I read. Many might be surprised that The Huffington Post or The Daily Kos isn't content that is more reflective of my political leanings towards Socialism. I love that word Socialist, it gets right up the noses of those who shriek at the word Liberal.
I read these right wing blogs mainly because the content is invariably material that I disagree with - but that doesn't mean always. My political mentor and close friend taught me the value of this exercise a few years back. As hard as I tried I couldn't win any political arguments with him as he was well versed in the hypocrisy of the both the left as well as the right (if those terms mean anything anymore). I fondly recall him saying that both sides wanted to tax the living hell out of him and just spend it differently.
Its my view that planners should able to cut through subjectivity and aim for objectivity by understanding the arguments and not the sentiments. Interestingly I've found that the picture above is deeply ambiguous depending on who reads it, as is the title of this post. Any thoughts?
