After
Me, the Jihad
Gaddafi’s Unheeded Warning to the West

- Before the French
Revolution and its Reign of Terror, Louis
XV predicted,
“After me,
the Deluge.” Before being overthrown, Libya’s
secular dictator tried
to warn the West of a new Reign of Terror,
essentially foretelling,
“After me, the Jihad.”
This
was disclosed with the recent release of phone
conversations
from
early 2011 between Muammar Gaddafi and former British
Prime
Minister Tony Blair.
The
West was then gearing up to use unrest in Libya as a pretext for
military intervention and regime change. Gaddafi desperately
tried
to convey through Blair the folly of such a war, pleading
that he was
trying to defend Libya from Al Qaeda, which had set
up base in the
country. He said:
“They
have managed to get arms and terrify people. people can’t leave
their homes… It’s
a jihad situation. They
have arms and are terrorising
people in the street.”
Gaddafi’s
warning went unheeded, and NATO, led by the U.S. and
France, launched an air war that toppled Libya’s government. Later
that
year, Gaddafi (himself a brutal oppressor, like all heads of
state)
was forced out of a drainage pipe, and then beaten,
sodomized, and
shot in the street by a mob. His corpse was then
draped over the hood
of a car.
Since
then, Gaddafi has been proven tragically right. As Libya
descended
into civil war and failed-state chaos, jihadi groups
connected to Al Qaeda
conquered much of the country. Libya
underwent the same American
“liberation” that had already
befallen Afghanistan, Iraq, and Somalia —
and would soon be
visited on Syria and Yemen.
Shortly
after Gaddafi’s overthrow, some of the now-rampant jihadis helped
the CIA run
guns from Benghazi to
fellow jihadis in Syria. Benghazi
had
been a rebel stronghold. The Obama administration claimed a
Gaddafi-
perpetrated “genocide” was imminent in that city,
using that claim as the
chief justification for the war. There
was zero indication of such an
impending atrocity. But
there was ample
evidence of an Al Qaeda presence
in Benghazi, as Gaddafi tried to
tell Blair, saying that members had
“…managed
to set up local stations and in Benghazi have spread the thoughts
and ideas of al Qaeda.”
After
the regime change, on September 11, 2012, the jihadis turned
on
their U.S. allies in Benghazi, sacked the U.S. diplomatic
compound,
and murdered Ambassador Chris Stevens.
Now
ISIS has spread throughout Libya. Just days ago, ISIS perpetrated
a truck bombing that killed dozens at a Libyan police
academy in
Sirte,
a former Gaddafi stronghold. Indeed, Gaddafi informed
Blair that jihadis
had “attacked police stations”
back in 2011.
Gaddafi
further warned Blair:
“They
want to control the Mediterranean and then they will attack
Europe.” And
ISIS has, indeed, been battling to take control of
Libya’s
main oil ports in
recent weeks. The group has also long been
planning to use
Libya as a base from
which to launch attacks on nearby
southern Europe. ISIS did
strike Europe recently, most famously in Paris.
And
it was not just Gaddafi personally who had been ringing such
alarms to the Western powers thirsting for his blood. His
intelligence officers
produced reports demonstrating
that heavy weapons being sent to the Libyan
opposition, with NATO
approval and Qatari financing, were being funneled
to militants
with ties to Al Qaeda. At least one of those reports was even
prepared in English to facilitate its transmission to key members
of Congress
via U.S. intelligence.
Yet,
there was no need for the West to rely on the Libyan regime for
information about the jihadi threat. Indeed, as emails recently
released by
the State Department reveal, Hillary Clinton’s own
right-hand man had \
informed her before Gaddafi’s overthrow that
rebels were committing
war
crimes,
and that “…radical/terrorist groups such as the Libyan Fighting
Groups and Al Qa’ida in the
Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) are infiltrating the
NLC and its military
command.”
As
Brad Hoff reports,
that same email discloses that, very early in the
Libyan
crisis, “British,
French, and Egyptian special operations units
were training
Libyan militants along the Egyptian-Libyan border,
as well as in
Benghazi suburbs.”
The
war in Libya that Hillary Clinton, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice,
and Samantha Power of the National Security Council were driving
toward was so predictably a fiasco-to-come that, behind the backs
of
the Amazon Warriors Three, America’s top
generals conspired with
leftie peacenik Congressman Dennis Kucinich to try to arrange a
peaceful resolution to the crisis. But the war-making diplomats
triumphed over the diplomacy-making soldiers. Hillary buffaloed
the brass and got her war.
Abundant
warnings of a Jihadi Deluge continued after the regime
change, as
well. As Nancy Youssef wrote at The
Daily Beast:
“…many
celebrated Libya as a success story of limited U.S.
intervention
despite obvious signs there of looming instability.
The British
consulate in Benghazi came under an attempted
assassination
attack the previous summer and other nations
pulled out amid
rising violence. The U.S. consulate in Benghazi
suffered an
improvised bomb attack around the time of the strike
on the
British. And there were early signs of a rising jihadist
presence
in the eastern city. In Tripoli, Sufi shrines were
destroyed. (…)
“In
the months leading up to the [2012 Benghazi] attack, flags
belonging to a jihadist group, Ansar al Sharia, appeared in
Benghazi. Ansar al Sharia members also controlled security
around
certain government buildings, including the hospital
that would
try to save Stevens.
“In
that ensuing power vacuum, jihadists began claiming territory,
making it difficult for the moderate government to control the
country. By 2013, Libya’s oil production all but stopped as the
nation plunged toward civil war and a state led by two rival
governments on opposite ends of the country. Efforts to create
a
unity government have so far faltered. Benghazi, the birthplace
of the 2011 uprising, became a terrorist haven. And today, many
Libyans yearn for the return of Gaddafi, however dictatorial his
regime was, because of the security that came with him.”
Conservative
politicos have long strained to use Benghazi to torpedo
Hillary’s
bid for the presidency. But their efforts are crippled by their
own fundamental agreement with Hillary’s militarism. They
support
the general policy of employing jihadis to overthrow
secular dictators
(not only in Libya, but Syria
too).
So they limit themselves to whining
about Hillary’s security
measures.
The
true Benghazi scandal indicts not just Hillary, but the entire
Western power elite, whose wars have, as Gaddafi warned, flooded
the world with
a Jihadi Deluge and installed a postdiluvian Reign
of
Terror over us all.
Laten we na dit artikel niet vergeten, dat onder Khadaffi
huisvesting was gegarandeerd en gratis, energie was gratis,
scholing was gratis en studies in het buitenland werden
volledig door de overheid betaald, gezondheidszorg was
eveneens gratis, enz. enz. Van dit alles is geen sprake meer,
de energielevering werkt met wat geluk een paar uur per dag
en de infrastructuur is terug gebombardeerd, tot het niveau
van pakweg 1900......
