On December 25, the Libyan General Post Company burned all postage stamps that carried the image of Muammar Gaddafi or an image of his work or projects. The burned stamps, according to Saudi Gazette website 259,434,634 in total, were worth 341 million Libyan dinars, equaling $279 million. They were destroyed as a part of an ongoing so-called cleansing process by the occupation forces with the intent to rid the country of measures to “glorify” the Leader of the Al-Fateh Revolution and his achievements.

In a similar method of mind control in May last year, a law ridiculously titled “Criminalizing the glorification of the Tyrant”, was passed by the NATO-installed Libyan government. The law (Law 37) criminalized “any glorification of Muammar Gaddafi, his ideas, his regime and his sons” (Article 1) as well as “any publishing of news, propaganda or rumours which harm the February 17 Revolution” (Article 2). Article 3 declared that “Any rule which contravenes this law shall be overturned”. Violation of the Law, which eventually was revoked after lawyers and human rights groups strongly disapproved it in the media, could have been subject to a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.

Greece battles Malaria Comeback after 40 years: A result of the Libyan war?

Posted on by

The increasing economic crisis and related popular turmoil aren’t the only things Greece has to battle: after having been declared free of malaria almost 40 years ago, the country now does its utmost to prevent the mosquito-borne disease from making a comeback.

According a report published in Eurosurveillance on November 22, outbreaks of locally transmitted malaria since 2011 in the regions of Laconia and East Attica make it urgent to increase surveillance and take mosquito control measures to eliminate the risk of the disease becoming re-established.

Imperialism’s Devilish Dance with Time

Posted on by

[Updated November 9, 2012] Imagine the following scenario: A handful foreign-sponsored rebels start to try to wreak havoc to the only true democratic system in the world. After failing to succeed in their evil plans, they start to cry for help to the most powerful military alliance in the history of time. It still takes this most powerful military alliance in the history of time more than seven months to bomb the democratic and sovereign country into submission. Subsequently, after hundreds of thousands of casualties and deaths, the country’s resources are robbed and its assets are stolen – stolen to be used in a similar war, with similar purposes, causing similar casualties and deaths.

Imagine this all would happen in a very short period of time – let’s say in one or two weeks – and humanity would be able to fully see through the veil used by the imperialist powers to hide their true intentions. Won’t we all be in constant utter shock and awe over the excessive injustice, the immense crimes and the indescribable suffering that human beings cause to their fellow human beings?

But because these criminal acts are skillfully phased and happen in stages, the conditioned human mind tends to put it into some vague perspective or even to forget.

Our perception of time has become one of the most powerful weapons of mass destruction, as it influences our perception of reality by changing a past reality in our memory to something that equals less actual with less important – no longer actual with no longer important – only to psychologically prepare us for absorbing new shocks, new crimes and new atrocities in a way that disconnects them from the importance and relevance of earlier events.

If we are able to connect the dots and to relate what happened in the past to what is happening in the present, there is no doubt we will be overwhelmed first of all by how all the pieces of the puzzle start falling into places, and subsequently about how incredibly ugly and corrupt the complete image turns out to be – and that we are part of that mess.

The message behind Hugo Chavez’ “Don’t drink Coca Cola”

Posted on by

July 24, 2012 – During a speech last Sunday, president Hugo Chavez urged Venezuelans to drink fruit juice instead of Coca Cola and other soft drinks. Chavez said people instead should buy Utiva, a grape juice made by Venezuelan company Corpozulia.

As often is the case after a televised speech by the Venezuelan leader, corporate media were quick to criticize the president’s words, this time by stating his warning against Coca Cola was “just an attempt to reduce imports” to the country that lately has become subject of the U.S. presidential election campaign – but there may be more to Chavez’ advice to his people.

“Friends of Syria” to meet in the Netherlands to proceed with Globalist Plans

Posted on by

July 20, 2012 – On a yet unknown date in September, the Netherlands will host the next and fourth meeting of the so-called “Friends of Syria” group, a coalition of Western and Arab countries which support the armed terrorists who seek to replace president Assad’s government with a puppet regime. The Dutch Foreign Ministry announced the meeting on Friday, adding its purpose will be “a further improvement of the sanctions against the Syrian regime.”

“Heavy pressure on Syria is now more necessary than ever”, declared Dutch FM Rosenthal in a statement on the Foreign Ministry’s website.

Rosenthal, who will be the president of the meeting which is hosted in his country on the request of Qatar, stated that further sanctions against Syria should be taken “to stop the violence and to initiate a political process”. Other ways to achieve this are “providing support to the [Syrian] opposition” and “providing humanitarian aid”, Rosenthal said. Continue reading →
