Muammar Gaddafi (? 1942 – 20 October 2011)

[lightdancer1]

Colonel Gaddafi stands as one of the few people in military history to be on the receiving side of an innovation that ultimately deeply and irreparably embarrassed him:

The Battle of Fada, the culminating point of the Toyota War, is one of the forgotten decisive battles of recent history. It ended for the remainder of the Gaddafi era Libyan efforts to expand into Chad, it profoundly discredit Gaddafi when instead of sponsoring the PLO he had to fight a real war and proved very bad at it. The irony that the same man who set in motion everything leading up to the battle and then went on to lose it has been written as believing the exact opposite of what he actually did should not be lost on anyone.

His name was Colonel Gaddafi. He nationalized the oil industry is what he did, and in this house he’s a hero!

Dead Kennedys – “Kinky Sex Makes The World Go Round”

[Spoken]

Prime Minister's office, Prime Minister speaking

Greetings, this is the Secretary of War

At the State Department of the United States

We have a problem, the companies want something done

About this sluggish world economic situation

Profits have been running more than a little thin lately

And we, we need to stimulate some growth

Now, we know that there's an alarmingly high number

Of young people roaming around in your country

With nothing to do but stir up trouble for the police

And damage private property

It doesn't look like they'll ever get a job

It's about time we did something

Constructive with these people

We've got thousands of 'em here, too

They're crawling all over

The companies think it's time we all sit down

Have a serious get-together, and start another war

The President? Oh, he loves the idea!

All those missiles streaming overhead to and fro, napalm

People running down the road, skin on fire

The Soviets seem up for it

The Kremlin's been itching for the real thing for years:

Want a little going-away present for Mr. Brezhnev

Hell, Afghanistan's no fun

So, whaddaya say?

We don't even have to win this war

We just want to cut down on some of this excess population

Now, look, just start up a draft

Draft as many of those people as you can

We'll call up every last youngster we can get our hands on

And give 'em an hour or two to learn how to use

An automatic rifle and send 'em on their way

El Salvador? How about Northern Ireland?

Or a "moderately repressive regime" in South America?

Or we'll, we'll just cook up a good Soviet threat story

In the Middle East; we need that oil

We had Libya all ready to go

And Colonel Gaddafi's hit squad didn't even show up

I tell ya, that man is unreliable

The Russians had their fingers on the button

Just like we did for that one

Now, just think for a minute

We can make this war so big, so big!

The more people we kill in this war

The more the economy will prosper

We can get rid of practically everybody

On your "dole queues" if we plan this right

Take every loafer on welfare right off our computer rolls

Now, don't worry about those demonstrators

Just pump up your drug supply

So many people have hooked themselves

On heroin and amphetamines since we took over

It's just like Vietnam

We had everybody so busy with LSD

They never got too strong

Kept the war functioning just fine

It's easy, we've got our college kids so interested in beer

They don't even care if we start

Manufacturing germ bombs again

Put a nuclear stockpile in their backyard

They wouldn't even know what it looked like

So, how 'bout it? I mean, look, war is money

The arms manufacturers tell me

Unless we get our bomb factories up to full production

The whole economy is gonna collapse

The Soviets are in the same boat

We all agree the time has come for the big one

So, what do ya say?

Marvelous!

That's excellent, we knew you'd agree

The companies will be very pleased

注、昔レーガンとサッチャーの時代にパンクバンドのクラスが作ったデマ・テープがネタ元だそうだが、内容的には支配層が経済発展と人口削減の為に戦争を起こすという、現実にこの手の会話があったとしてもさもありなん...ですな。

The Young Ones - Bomb 💣

Original air date: 30.11.82

Reviewed by: @smashingblouses

Back in the early 80s there were a lot of anti-nuclear protests going on. It’s a particularly prominent memory for me because my parents were friends with some of the women who had protested as part of the Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camps in the 80 and 90s. Not only is Bomb one of my favourite episodes (Interesting being up there too) it also reminds me of that time, the people I met growing up and even some of the events I went to.

Bomb aired right around the time that the first peace camp happened at RAF Berkshire in December 1982. The episode is a farcical statement attacking government implemented nuclear weapons but also a gentle prod at some of the very people protesting the weapons. Something The Young Ones is always so clever at; ridiculing all sides.

The episode opens with a shot of a fighter jet dropping a huge atom bomb. The scene is set, the credits roll and we open on the bomb gently resting against the fridge, undetonated, in The Young One’s kitchen. 

We see the boys are all asleep, undisturbed by the destruction the bomb has caused, apart from Rick who, like the goodie two shoes he is, is awake and squeezing his spots in the bathroom mirror. Once he realizes the camera is on him he takes the opportunity to show us how great he is by giving us a private rendition of his latest piece of crap poetry. He sets the narrative by letting us know his political agenda for the day; cleaning up pollution and bombs. Little does he know, the perfect excuse for some good rants and political activism awaits him downstairs.

Neil awakens to the sound of his dying alarm clock. The death of household objects is a recurring theme through the show and later on the kettle explodes as it, quote Neil “would rather die than be used by me”. Neil seems to kill household items simply by depressing them to death. As a little aside it always amuses me to see the fake “Martial” amp in Neil’s room. A fun easter egg for any guitar players out there!

Down in the kitchen Vyv asserts his “weaponized incompetence” so that he doesn’t have to help Neil with any of the chores, leading to a farcical plate toppling, lentil spiling disaster, Mike tricks Rick into letting him into the bathroom by distracting him with one of his surreal jokes.

The morning unfolds and no one has actually noticed the atom bomb in front of the fridge. They play and fight around the kitchen completely oblivious to its presence. It turns out that Vyvyan apparently knew it was there all along but failed to mention it to anyone. Even an atom bomb in the house fails to worry Vyv.

Rick finally comes down stairs to see Vyvyan is eating cornflakes and ketchup as a result of there being no lentils for breakfast. Rick asks why he’s eating ketchup with his cornflakes and Vyv explains there’s an atom bomb in front of the fridge so he can’t get to the milk.

Suddenly they all notice the bomb that has been sitting right in from of their eyes and panic ensues. The boys each start to hatch their own plans as to what to do about said bomb. How will each character deal with such a conundrum?

True to character Rick decides to use the bomb to take down Thatcher and save “The Kids”. Dressed in British Army fatigues with trousers pulled up to nipples (an early precursor to his Bottom outfit) he sets off to the Post Office. His plan to send a telegram (wow that dates the show!)  demanding Thatcher’s cooperation. Whilst waiting in the queue Rick reveals his toxic hypocrisy, ranting and raving about how awful everyone else is. Beautifully or is that terrifyingly echoing the modern day Karen - was Rick the original Karen?

Meanwhile Mike is trying to sell the bomb to Libyan revolutionary Colonel Gaddafi via Reggie Balowski but in true car salesman style Balowski turns down the deal due to it not being the right colour and proceeds to scam Mike into part exchanging for a dodgy Robin Reliant - a car that “usually” has 3 wheels.

Vyvyan just wants to see the bomb explode and makes various attempts at setting it off. He finally whacks it with a sledgehammer bending it in the process, which apparently does nothing, before Mike locks him in a cupboard to protect his asset.

Neil goes about a very useless attempt at building a bomb shelter, and painting himself white to “defect the blast” this provides the perfect set up for one of Rick's great lines;

“Oh well that’s just great, racial discrimination, even in death!”

In fact this episode bares a lot of Rick's great one liners.

“People who don’t pay their TV licences against the Nazis!”, and “I can’t go to prison! I’m too pretty! I’ll get raped!” to name just two.

By the time Rick gets back from the Post Office he finds Neil hiding in his shelter and Mike has bought supplies for everyone. A great little example to show the family dynamic of the sitcom, Mum makes the home - Neil makes the bomb shelter. Dad goes out and gets food - Mike comes back with pizza and a Wimpy.

Rick rejoices to the boys that all “social prejudice and hatred” will be over by tomorrow, due to his amazing bomb threat plan, then promptly tells Neil he hates him garnering one of the biggest laughs of the show.

Finally we hear a strange ticking sound. The boys start to panic and dive under the table/bomb shelter pushing Neil out of his own creation - even Vyvyan is panicking. The bomb slowly cracks open like an egg and out pops a tiny aeroplane that whizzes around the room and flies out of the window. A surreal moment that reduces the viewer to gasps of mild annoyance and the notion of nuclear weapons to ridicule. One could say a huge anti-joke (A Rik and Ade special) but ultimately the message was conveyed, probably one of Ben Elton’s (blame Ben for the politics) finer non-preachy yet political moments.

Targeting Gaddafi: Taking out third world trash without culpability

Political leaders in the West have been able to suck resources from Africa by denying it access to the modern world. Africa must survive in a state of perpetual turmoil and corruption, or face vengeance from those who profit from its resources.

While caring and compassionate organizations from around the world have contributed billions of dollars to alleviate Africa's suffering, the continent is purposefully constructed to fail. By fostering despair and dysfunction, Western leaders ensure the survival of self-isolating slave regimes.

When an African government's right to self-determination clashes with a malicious foreign goal, it must be reformed, sanctioned, or destroyed. The Western media will suppress genocide and despotic domination of African masses until an independent leadership opposes their people's captivity.

A star burns bright over North Africa

This was the case in Libya, where Muammar Gaddafi rose to power in 1969 and ruled for over 50 years. Muammar Gaddafi was one of the few African leaders willing to challenge the West's subhuman norms and eventually lead his people out of servitude.

The Western media or state-sponsored propaganda ministry is hired to conceal both internal and exterior truths that could undermine the ruling class's narrative. This is why Westerners were so unaware of Gaddafi's true accomplishments, only hearing about his fictional, terrible reign. Of doubt, Gaddafi committed some heinous crimes against humanity, but that is survival in the Third World 101.

The Gaddafi dictatorship did not have the luxury of ruling under the guise of democracy, as those in the West do, but he would nevertheless advocate for advancement for the Libyan people. Instead of imposing a stagnant existence on his people, like his poor neighbors, Gaddafi encouraged education, industry, and family strength.

Libyans had free education and high-quality healthcare, and couples were given 50,000 dollars to start families. Gaddafi accelerated his people's progress by enacting more enriching policies and firmly opposing the formation of terrorist cells such as Al-Qaeda.

Unlike regional despots and their ignored populations, Colonel Gaddafi provided water to all of his countrymen. Not only was fuel made affordable to everyone living under Gaddafi's rule, but housing was recognized as a human right!

Women in Libya were not obliged to stay at home or publicly cover their faces with a rag, no matter how distressing they appeared. Unlike Western governments, Gaddafi safeguarded his people and Libyan culture, refusing to let illegal migrants seeking benefits.

Targeting Gaddafi

In 2011, the West would hate and condemn Gaddafi, not for committing horrible atrocities against his fellow man, as most of his African counterparts had done, but for plotting to monetarily fuck the ruling class. The NOW renegade colonel presented a proposal for a financially independent Africa, which was clearly a "no starter" for Western elites.

Immediately, the mainstream media began portraying Gaddafi as an insane ruler who massacred his subjects. The American political theater unleashed stale old clichés about expanding global democracy and sanctifying an oppressed people.

Obama has allowed Al-Qaeda and other CIA-sponsored provocateurs to pose as revolutionaries and destabilize Libya. They were painstakingly planting the seeds of misinformation, which would only result in murder and disaster.

The state-sponsored media, including FOX, CNN, ABC, and NBC, were ingeniously producing top-level propaganda to persuade the American public that the expulsion was legitimate.

Cornering the Rat

On October 20, 2011, Gaddafi was a cornered rat, surrounded by Western-armed and supported insurgents high on illicit drugs and bloodlust. Muammar Gaddafi, Africa's savior, was brutalized and ridiculed, sodomized with a sword, and finally killed on public television.

Following this, Hillary Clinton would callously insult the tortured and overthrown Libyan leader on state-run television, boasting that "we came, we saw, and he died". In this little film, Hillary would punctuate her apathetic summary with one of her signature wicked cackles.

Guns used in criminality, and gun crime as an ethical concern, explained - by RPG.

Since the ages of the first firearm, those created back in 10th century China; bearing the name of "fire lances", to be operated by the single individual as a "shock weapon" towards enemy ambush attacks.

The first mention of the "fire lance" being used is in 1132, where the Siege of De'an saw necessity for such a device to be in use. This technology made its advantages known during the Jin-Song war, where it was used to major effect barraging and destroying enemy defenses; with it, it amalgamated to a brutal and repelling attack method.

In the modern age, firearms consider the needs for those of military, civilian and law enforcement communities. Technology having advanced during the Great War/WW1, Inter-war period and WWII enhanced the way firearms were manufactured; companies started to take into detail the method of production, materials to source and style of weapon.

The cheap, yet populous production of high quality firearms during the Cold War from the 1950's till the late 1990's enabled weapons to be bought by countries interested for an accessible price. The Soviets mastered this opportunity for weapons manufacture, and supplied allies with hauls of high-quality firearms; some countries that would end up becoming the epicenter for conflicts.

Take as an example Libya. Libya was governed by Colonel Muammar Gaddafi under the wing of the "Libyan Arab Jamahiriya"; he found himself between the the grip of Westernisation and Soviet influence, where he stated that he valued the Soviets over what he considered as "infidels" (for short, people who value fortune over faith).

A war brinks over the heads of the elite in Libya, and it finds itself in a power struggle between civilian protestors demanding a sense of normality and democracy and those who have been ordered to sweep out opposition; the Libyan Army under the authority of Gaddafi and his generals.

Gun crime and terrorism, they both have an infinite link; where supply meets demand and the suit of power is worn by those wanting to play games of life and death. Where the innocent man cares only for care and protection from supposed harsh environments, he is met with the barraging thought of those who bet their lives as pawns on a table, with guns and rifles in hand to defend their criminality. As the person with intent draws his firearm in pursuit for wealth, he is met with the equal or opposite reaction; he puts himself in danger of being killed with uncertainty on his mind or he instead is the one to be killed...its almost like predator and prey.

All criminals have an intention, whether that be faith-based or for that singular minute chance at fortune. Their use of weapons is not intended for defense but to inflict pain and suffering upon their otherwise unwilling victims; and it isn't just those who go against the values of the said criminal but also those who stand as bystanders.

A link: terrorism as a whole branches from the use of military-grade weapons in unstable countries; those who have a history of civil unrest and international conflict, and specifically those with a leader incapable of being at mutuality on the world stage. A case study could be Iraq, and its pre and post war conditions; a country that went from being one of the largest land and air armies to being weakened to the point where it was practically returned to the industrial age...and the point stands, the larger and more unstable the army is the more the weapons in military use end up in the blood stained hands of the ill-intent.

As a conclusion, and an important reminder: it is not the weapon itself that kills, but it takes the man behind the trigger to determine the fate that follows. Give a man with good in his heart the opportunity to use a firearm and he will preserve his sanity; give another who is not in mental sanctity one and he will attempt to fix whatever he it is that is broken with it.

It less of a social problem, and more of a moral one; society has lived with the invention for thousands of years, but has only deprived others of life when there is no present morality.

Africanistan: The Ultimate War on Terror

Africanistan

“We love our country. But to love it you have to be alive. A corpse has no homeland.”

On an enslaved mass Europe drew cold lines. Millions tangled in exploitation’s cruel dance. The hope for a continent in Barbarian hands, A united, stable Alkebulan a utopian dream.

The General Act of Berlin announced in 1885, Only Ethiopia and Liberia would be spared. Foreign soldiers descend on coastal shores, The latest weaponry blots out Africa’s light.

If trading in its people weren’t brutal enough, Now minerals overflowed in Europe’s dockyards. The conniving aggressors greedy for more, Almost wipe out each other in two world wars.

Post-1945 nations clamor for independence, Communists subverting old colonial rules. America and the Soviets in devilish mode, Instilling their doctrines lit a hellish fuse.

Carnage in Africa, the frontiers unclear, Instability, ethnic conflict and terror ushered in. Popular movements had freedom in sight, Extinguished by a cold war decadence.

The Berlin Wall tumbled and a flicker of hope, Now Africa is courted like a beautiful bride. China’s approach is different from the west Understanding Africa’s worth, they invest.

Excess supply meets unlimited demand, Building roads, schools, bridges and ports. Russia still supply 50% of its arms: Africa seeking fresh prospects anew.

Twelve years ago, Clinton’s emails revealed, Whispers behind closed doors unveiled. Muammar Gaddafi’s vast hidden wealth, Treasure trove of aurum and silver’s stealth.

Nearly one hundred and fifty tons of gold, Knowledge of this secret stash WikiLeaks told. A plan was conceived in the Colonel’s heart, A pan-African currency, a project to impart.

Franco British intrigue craft a motive strong: Oil, boosted influence and reputations to uphold. In Tripoli the embattled streets run red, No-fly-zone, armed clashes and countless dead.

Islamists and Tuareg separatists in Mali, An excess of arms has primed the north grizzly. Thousands have perished, a million displaced, In an endless conflict Mali’s fate defaced.

4,000 of Timbuktu’s manuscripts plundered, Ansar Dyne’s destruction leaves culture sundered. Pick-axed and hammered saintly shrines and tombs, Protecting faith’s purity, the extremists fumed.

Burkina Faso ravaged by relentless perdition. Executions, looting and arson the story. Civilians in the crossfire recruited for militia: Volontaires pour la défense de la patrie.

A coup thwarts another coup’s dark intent, President Captain Traoré standing firm. Jihadist activity distresses the land, Neighbouring countries offer a united hand.

As in Niger, skating on alert’s icy brink, Deposed President Bazoum a bargaining chip. Charged with treason, he’s already condemned, ECOWAS threaten war but their plan is insane.

Twenty-nine dead soldiers in the south ignite, A counter-offensive killing terrorists overnight. Niger taking measures to neutralize the threat, France’s withdrawal cast conspiracies of doubt.

Boko Haram and Jama’at Ahl al-Sunna, Spread fiery rhetoric stoking angst in Nigeria. In the troubled north their dominant sphere, 3.6 million have been displaced.

In Zamfara state the usual tale of woe, Gunmen agitate and lawlessness flows. Many lives lost; sixty villagers snatched, And students wheeled off in pick-up trucks.

In Cameroon, lingering tensions of old, The struggle for language, a tale unfolds, Torturing, killings and arson explodes, Amnesty International raises its voice.

Rebel groups rise, in the bushes they hide, A decade of turmoil, divisions collide. Factories halt and roads broken wide, This anglophone crisis the violence divides.

In Central Africa, where hunger takes toll, Half the population in an arduous hole. To be born and survive is a fragile goal, 8% don’t see their first year of life.

Wagner’s entry and the Rwandans fight, Purged Séléka rebels from the country’s towns. The first in a decade, a calm before a storm, In a region still marred by conflict’s blight.

Congo-Kinshasa remains insecure, Six million displaced as suffering obscured. UN’s future shaky, talks aim to repair, Gender violence haunts, survivors in despair.

Poison of greed smeared diamonds with blood, Minerals fueling war, displacement and hunger. Political solutions urged as elections draw near, UN peacekeepers targeted; challenges severe.

Chad, with oil wealth, yet so impoverished, Bearing the weight of war-torn refugees. 300,000 and counting fled from Sudan, A fragile security, a nation in unease.

Under guise of wiping people’s tears away, The UAE covertly aids with brazen lies. In a remote town of Chad an operation thrives, Weapons and drones for the RSF side.

Hemedti and Burhan, once brothers share, A conflict spurring chaos in Khartoum and Darfur. Bullets, rockets, and the fighter jet’s snare, The devil on horseback returned with flair.

Sudanese Armed Force’s strafing strews panic; Home invasions, bombed hospitals, people can’t go out. The pillaging and the killing systematic – As night fell, death lingers, ready to pounce.

In Ethiopia it seems the madness rages on, Sexual violence and other crimes scarring the soul. Terror in Tigray and now fighting in Amhara, A nation’s recurring agony takes a heavy toll.

Government battle with their former kin, Allied forces turned foes in a war so grim. Abiy Ahmed planned to unite within, But too many militias disagree with him.

Somalian troops have engaged for years, Hide and seek with Al Shabab, left a brutal scar. Thousands have fallen but does anybody hear? Screams and blood sacrifice an endless affair.

A truck bomb in Beledweyne’s town square, Killed 21 innocents sprouting anguish over here. Buildings razed, plenty wounded on the ground, Never-ending turmoil like Black Hawk Down.

Mozambique is a land in flux and dread, An insurgency’s deadly shadow looms overhead. A million displaced in Cabo Delgado’s fright, Another nation struggling as violence excites.

Loved ones beheaded, homes razed to ashes, Men and boys compelled to join armed groups. Livelihoods vanished, education’s lost ground, Healthcare and food scarcity in critical loop.

South Africa’s parliament hall burned down, Tensions with the U.S. begin to install. Naval drills in the Indian Ocean enthralled, South Africa, Russia and China allied.

ANC has past links with these erstwhile friends, USA frustrated and controversy found. Accused of arms smuggling aim to undermine, South Africa’s neutrality in the war in Ukraine.

Changing alliances and strategic coalitions, South Africa chooses in this dangerous game. Africanistan unfurling amid proxy’s friction, Ever-evolving struggles in a global campaign.

Djibouti is a gathering of strange hosts. Military bases for France, Spain and Germany, The United States, United Kingdom, and Italy, Japan and Saudi Arabia: if there’s revolts?

Russia and India seek a presence to be, Thugs guard the continent by land and by sea. On African territory set long-term plans, Colonial frontiers drifting in the sands.

African nations in the Arab League’s clique? Non-Arab lands in a union they sit. A paradoxical blend of conquest and culture, Arabs enslaved blacks so lest not forget that.

What does America bring, a weak dollar’s sway? Backed by the military they print dollars every day. What does Britain bring but a duplicitous role? Preaching democracy, education, and birth control.

The sordid past of Françafrique’s grim view, A fierce dawn breaks and the policy renews. Africa’s roar is a force to be reckoned, Winds of change, chains strained and broken.

For too long held in their pernicious stay, Imposing notions that affect us today. White supremacy’s harshness, Arabian superiority, The darker skinned hue lambasted with no pity.

A narrative marred by such horrible stains, Yet within our hearts, resilience remains. Awakening from this long and troubled sleep, No longer inferior, our dignity we’ll keep.

For we are equal, capable with open eyes, Our brilliance shining as our spirits arise. From depths of subjugation, we’ll break free, A proud united people and strong, we’ll be.

Youth and time is aligned on terrain, The West grows decrepit and demographics wane. Empires decline as the past conveys. Like a sphinx we’ll rise even a millennium away.

So, bear the turmoil Alkebulan my land, Relay this on the hills and shout up to the sky – Proclaim to those seeking to seize our hand, AFRICA RISING, we shall cry again.

This interview exists in many fragments throughout the internet. We couldn’t find a transcript, so we produced one. The following description is from the the uploader of one of the many partial fragments, @winborneb:

“In 1990, Nelson Mandela visited the U.S. for the first time, after being freed from 27 years of imprisonment in South Africa. During Mandela’s visit he also conducted his first interview, with Ted Koppel of ABC News. Koppel was then known as one of the toughest and most feared TV reporters and interviewers in America. His ABC news show “Nightline” was one of the top rated late night programs on television. The interview turned out to be an openly biased attempt to assassinate Nelson Mandela’s character, credibility, and cause — the bulk of Koppel’s preselected questioners being either conservative Republican plants, apartheid sympathizers, opponents of Mandela’s African National Congress party (ANC), and/or known members of the white supremacist apartheid regime. Due to the wisdom and strength of Nelson Mandela, the assassination attempt failed miserably. Ted Koppel was never the same man again, and eventually slipped into oblivion.”

The separators indicate commercial breaks. Koppel’s empty chatter around them was excluded.

After the toppling of Colonel Gaddafi, Libya remained unstable, and a civil war broke out in 2014. This has seen a split between regimes in the east and west of the country - which UK Foreign Secretary James Cleverly says is hindering efforts to help survivors of disastrous floods.
