Libya To Halt All Military Action, Announces Immediate Ceasefire
Libya announces it accepts the UN resolution, encourages opening of all dialogue with all sides, according to Libyan Foreign Minister. Also, the country has agreed to an immediate ceasefire. WTI drops sharply by $23 on the news, as futures spikes. From the AP: "Foreign Minister Moussa Koussa says Libya is declaring an immediate cease-fire and stopping all military operations. Friday's decision comes after the U.N. voted to authorized a no-fly zone and "all necessary measures" to protect the Libyan people, including airstrikes. Koussa says the cease-fire "will take the country back to safety" and ensure security for all Libyans. But he also criticized the authorization of international military action, calling it a violation of Libya's sovereignty." In the meantime, the French foreign minister, eager to blow stuff up, says to remain careful on Libya ceasefire announcement. And of course - Libya has just won the first diplomatic battle. It can now continue doing what it was doing in complete secrecy, while any invasion by US and ally forces will be deemed a provocation by the world, or so Libya believes.
Follow the announcement live here.
And an initial response from a trading desk:
MAKE NO MISTAKE. LYBIA HAS REMOVED THE CASUS BELLI. BUT IT WILL NOT REMOVE THE REASON FOR ORDERING AIR RAIDS IN THE FIRST PLACE. TUNISIA WAS NOT A TARGET, NOR WAS EGYPT. TOO LITTLE OIL. QADDAF I IS A CLEVER NEGOTIATOR. USED TO DEAL WITH BERLUSCONI AND CO. B Y NO MEANS AN IDIOT. HE HAS BOUGHT TIME. HE IS UNDER ATTACK. AND NOT FROM WITHIN.
And in the meantime, nobody appears to care:
Nato's Rasmussen says Nato completing planning in order to be able to take appropriate action in Libya, as Reuters reports that a Libyan rebel in Misrata says rebels repelled Govt. attack on city. In other news, ceasefire to start.... any....minute...now...

Brent Oil plunges $2.....
Gold and silver just shot way up.
It is a selloff. PMs will test the middle of their ranges, gold has that at $1407 today, it is possible to test support if Blythe goes in. This all of course is unless something happens with 'Operation Critical'. Chernobyl sybdrome sounds good now?
WTI down
WTF way up
Well Duh Gaddafi has done a ceasefire. He has already very largely routed the opposition, and entering into "talk" mode neuters the UN immediately, giving him time to consolidate.
Qaddafi was also probably short oil. Cha Ching.
""Qaddafi was also probably short oil. Cha Ching""

And the dollar shoots way down again, 75.8 is the real story to me.
agreed
Play time is over?
obama could have arranged this 2 wks ago if he was minding the store
Those brackets down fill themselves out.
That Gadaffi is no fool, he knows that when 1 bomb drops or 1 US soldier crosses the border is game over for him
He should do what Mubarak did, step out while trying to preserve as much of his wealth as possible
I think he wants to hear what the west got to offer, some tens of billions should be in for not starting another desert war...
Ghadaffi won't get Libya's gold out of its vault and out of the country now. Old man Gadaffi is pissed! That Tunisian Ben Ali and his wife sure made moves quick! Wondder if he could give me Lindsey Williams' number....
this could be his claim: a 2-3 planes that can carry some tons of 'whatever' and which can fly 'wherever' - for handing his oil & people over to our bankers.
He ain't getting any gold. He will have to take what he had stored in his sock drawer down to Mugabe's now. It will be enough to hold him over until he can cash it in for the coming world 'post nuclear' currencie. Until then he will have to pay his bath escorts in the dollars that Robbert lends him.
sounds like a surrender to me. i don't read it like, okay okay we'll stop attacking civilians for awhile. but rather it reads like please all you civilians who now feel emboldened, don't come and get us and hang us in the streets. i think the military knows further aggression will be met with extreme force and perhaps they too will now turn on gadafi. they know their ass is grass and this is the best spin they can put on it.
They had Ghad-bro all boxed up & ready to go before, but F-ed up the deal. Let's hope they let this guy disappear into the sunset. Yeah it'd be letting a bad guy go, but on balance I believe it's the smart & prudent approach. ie: Don't leave mad, just leave.
Seems strange that from David Koresh to Osama Bin Laden, we always have these guys pinned down and are capable of taking them out, but never choose to do so until after wasting considerable resources, if at all.
Huh, our lovely .gov burned all those nasty women and children to death at Waco. Koresh ran every day, gov could have arrested him while running instead chose dynamic entry with black masked goons. Not a lot of resources just some CS and some fire and a few tanks and APC's, not much really..
I dispute the degree of wasting of resources, but it's pretty obvious that we could have had a squad car, WITH A SINGLE DEPUTY, arrest koresh before all the shit went down... saving dozens of lives and millions of taxpayer dollars... same thing with bin laden... same thing with any of these bozos... no matter how much plastic surgery they may have.
Not sure why I'm getting junked... apparently people want the MIC to endlessly toil away with pissant adversaries and conjured boogey men? Rest assured, there will be more...
But surrender in what context? Saddam Hussein did not surrender in this way and he was overwhelmed by the U.S. military. Qaddaffi is smart as a fox. His goal is to stay in power. Saving face with his people and the rest of the Arab world is a secondary concern. If he does not agree to the cease fire, he's done. If he does agree, he may still be done but it buys him some time. The smart thing to do is to agree to the cease fire.
"He should do what Mubarak did, step out while trying to preserve as much of his wealth as possible"
WTF are you talking about????????? It's not his fucken wealth.
Tell me if the rebels captured Gadaffi and began skinning him alive for murdering and looting the living shit out of them what do you think that piece of shit of a human being would do?
Typical sheeple comment, raised on the junk fed by the PTB thru the american media. You have lost all capacity for independent thought. Not that I am a fan of Gadaffi the man, but think a little, why do you hate him so much? Oh, he is suppressing his own people? Then what about Bahrain and Saudi Arabia? Or Mubarak, for that matter? Why are they treated with kid gloves?
The only reason the international community (actually that should be re-labelled the west) are after Gadaffi is a) he is a soft target; b) Libya has oil; c) he has been an independent thorn in the side of the west; d) he didn't make friends in high places in the west like the Saudis.
If you're concerned with the moral principle, you should be equally or more outraged at the oppression of the American people by the power elite. You should be up in arms since that is in your own backyard.
Or take some time to read history. This sort of of oppression has been going on throughout history. Best is to mind your own business and leave other people to live their life as long as they don't pose a threat to yourself.
The American sheeple are being distracted from their own oppression and impoverishment by the power elite arranging these gunfights and explosions all over the world. Again, a standard tactic throughout history.
Mr. Infinity,
I don't hate him for what he does to his people that is their problem. I do hate him for blowing up a Pan Am flight over Lockerbie. Just as I hate the brit gov and the other asses who released Mr. quick to die of prostate cancer bomber boy.. Most of us here are well aware of these tactics, preaching to the choir.
Gadaffi was a small time player in the international terrorism game
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods
+1.
In fact, this move by Ghaddafi suits TPTB entirely ... they can now accept Daffy's departure and install a more compliant dictator to keep funnelling the oil to Europe (particularly France) without having to give an inch to the peasant revolt (though the peasants will be led to believe that they "won").
I agree with KKam. Most of the Arab world operates in a feudal structure. There are a few people at the top who have most of the wealth. They have a larger group of clients who work for them and keep things running. The vast percentage of people are peasants who live subsistence lifestyles. Qaddaffi is no better or no worse than any other Arab leader, certainly he's no worse than the Saudis. Feudalism isn't all bad. Those in the west who dream of democratic Middle East should be careful what they wish for. The combination of democracy and fundamentalist Islam might produce situations the West wouldn't like.
"If you're concerned with the moral principle, you should be equally or more outraged at the oppression of the American people by the power elite."
Who are the power elite shit for brains?
"The Forbes listers and the bottom have each held around 3% of the nation’s wealth for the past 20 years. (Reliable and comparable data don’t go further back than that.) Some years they tipped to 3.3%, other years to 2.7%, but basically their shares have move remarkably in parallel through so much economic change. (The Forbesers, of course, pay far more taxes, but that is another argument.)
The stats are undeniably troubling. But the fact remains that the wealth shares of the rich haven’t diverged from the bottom since the early 1980s. (The top 1% have also held roughly the same share of wealth since the the late 1980s.)"
http://blogs.wsj.com/wealth/2011/03/07/billionaires-own-as-much-as-the-b...
Right, but the tactics are probably what has him in checkmate. I think he knows that if one plane from the Arab league goes down. One of thier soldiers killed or a ship damaged. THEN the US gets the trifecta.
1) US offers to escalate. 2) Arab league accepts, effectively taking the political chains off of a CVN group 3) Game over in a win, win,win for the USA. Aquiring the oil, stability/credibility and no more col daffy.
The oil is not for the USA ... it's for Southern Europe (particularly France and Italy). That's why Sarcozy has been the foaming-mouthed attack dog this time around. That's also why Barma has been content to stay busy playing golf and doing his brackets.
There was never really any chance of the US getting actively entangled. The CVNs are only there for show so that the French and Danes can act tough and brave.
Nicely convenient for US opening shortly eh and options expiry
Yep, had our couple of down days, which were nicely orchrestrated. Now the upside. I hope it doesn't turn out to be a fake out to the downside like they did on the first day of the month, when everyone expected it to go to the upside.
+1300
Never fails to amaze me. Even if Japan's situation gets 5000x worse everyone will just discount it, claim it's been "baked in" to the markets and simply point and say "Libya, Libya" as the Dow rallies to 15k and the dollar tanks.
Dangerous ground though if the machines had been programmed for a certain equities selloff today. Do not anger or confuse the machines.
Gadaffi actually works for CNBC --- he'll be a guest on Mad Money this evening.
That's cute, he could pull a Spitzer.
Angry money.
Insane money.
Every bit as legitimate a character to have on TV as Cramer is. More entertaining too. Get Michael Jackson's old tailor. I bet he could pound crap with that little hammer of Cramers.
It fits our short, soundbite, reality too where there is no historical memory, just what happened in the last few episodes, and then it is resolved.
Very funny.
its what they do not what they say
exactly. do not believe them for a second, Ghaddafi is just pulling a card from North Korea's deck.
QADDAFI FORCES CONTINUE SHELLING MISRATA, 25 DEAD, ARABIYA SAYS
Q is a, Lier Lier paints on fire!!!
Exactly. Now he can continue, but using "police action" to "restore order". The no fly zonce might have been useful a couple weeks ago when it may have energized momentum against Kadaffi and encouraged his army to sit on the sidelines if not defect altogether. Now the fire has been extinguished and Kadaffi just needs to piss on the last couple glowing embers.
I'm not saying we should have done this two weeks ago, but we should not have encouraged the rebels and demad Kadaffi leave if we weren't ready to do something when it would have helped.
Ever heard of Bay of Pigs? How about Cuba and Phillipines in the 1890s. The stab in the back is one of the things amerika does best.
The United Nations did this, dipstick.
Yeah, right. Take the red pill, bozo. Any comment about above or is history too confusing? OK. South Viet Nam?
USA doesn't lead this one. It's France that leads. USA just back-up behind the EU countries.This one is Sarkozy's personal bad debt payment to Q-daffy. Let's see if he can convince his allies to take out those air strips anyway. Also, now the EU wants to get rid of Q definitely, they have to find a strategy to make this happen. It's very fluid as Q can be counted on to go renegade sooner than later.
Maybe it's time for another gulf-of-tonkin incident.
I agree here Quadaffi made the perfect move in ordering the cease-fire. He's in control of the country still, secret police actions can be taken, foreign mercenaries can be brought in and used to guard oil facilities. If rebels attack it is simply self defense. The UN won't have anything to do.. he ordered a cease-fire so you're going to start blowing stuff up? yeah that'll look reallly great. He's not an idiot, I think he wins either way here, the only recourse is going to be actual military ont he ground intervention for the West which is going to a. Make us look like crap b. Take a long time to implement. c. result in a lot of people losing their political jobs.
Grow up...
Do you think anyone worries about drone attacks in Pakisatan? Why would Liebya be any different?
Do you think this is a tennis match? Do you think any thinking person in the world is going to flock to Quaddafi's side because he "expertly" returned a serve?
There are no lines on this tennis court. He plays as long as "they" want him to play. Any move on his part invokes serious retaliation. Any move on the rebels side is simply diplomatic errors to be discussed at the UN at the appropriate time.
Bomb on principle anyway, if only for the Lockerbie tragedy.
BREAKING NEWS: Brazilian groups promisse war on Obama
Calm down! It's just a "paper ball war".
Obama will be in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday, and will make a public speech at Cinelandia, a place where people gathered during the military dictatorship in Brazil, to protest against the dictatorship supported by... the USA! Kind of a "Tahrir Square" of Rio.
Well, that's not a politically correct idea...
In response, some groups in Rio are calling for a "mega paper ball war" at Cinelandia on Sunday, during Obama's speech.
People will carry bags full of small paper balls made from paper sheets, and start a "war" there. The idea is to demonstrate that the only kind of war Brazilians support are paper ball wars (and pillow wars), not real wars like in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Obama must be careful, he can be hit by this "weapon of mass destruction" that is a paper ball. At least it doesn't hurts, like the shoe that guy on Iraq threw at Bush!
Could get a nasty paper cut though.......... :(
Unless it's used toilet paper....
One can only hope the Brazilians have the brilliant imaginative powers of Judge Judy.
wonder if he'll get back in the groove and restart his apology for America tour
I was thinking they will wad up FRNs, but they will probably use paper worth something.
Believe me nor not, Obama has just canceled his public speech on a open area in Rio because he was afraid of some paper balls!
Now his speech will be at closed doors.
TD your quick...
was just watching it on AL-Jazeera and have to question why they caved so quickly. I doubt this will end that easy.
I agree, it will be hard for them to waist a day like today. I bet they really wanted to drop bombs. Today is a day for something fucked up somewhere on this planet to happen.
Having any strategic problems? need a break from the fighting to re-group and plan your massive hammer? Have no fear, the UN is here! Take a day or two to get your plan into place.. go ahead, you have time.
visions of saddam and son's
Does this mean his little bubushka from the Ukraine is coming home soon ? Go long penicillin
he'll just send in his 'police forces' and quietly execute the rebels.
Agreed. He already said that he was going to send only police and 'anti-terrorist' squads into the last rebel held cities. Most likely the same folks currently torturing and executing his enemies. Can you say 'Trojan Horse'?
It is already happening. Kaddafi is a master manipulator of the west. He will say anything to his advantage. He just stopped the international community again as he kills his own people.
He is not killing "his own people." This idea of tribalism is one of the dumbest things to emerge from nationalism.
"His people," are the elite, dictator class. To group him in with the commoners, is to misunderstand why and how he gained and retains power.
Good. Wish it meant the war printing press would also shift into lower gear.
Gaddafi must have some french blood in his veins...
He certainly does because he doesn't seem afraid to fight men to men unlike some others that drop nuclear bombs or Agent Orange on women and children to win a war.
you mean like a slap fight? Or a severe word fight?
Methinks he is looking for some "specific" french blood on his hands.
ORI
Bloody cowards.
As soon as some real fighting, not slaughtering of civilians, is about to take place, he declares a ceasefire.
Just take him out
great...now about the cost of living in America rising to pre October '08 levels...I'm dollar cost averaging my shorts all the way up this "temporary" bull run
Staaaaaand and deliverrrrrr, your oil or yo' life.
Pity he has no wife...his Ukranian nurse ran away...
Hell NO! We were promised a war and by GOD and all that is mighty we shall have one!
The "Teflon Gad" strikes again.
He is the true Desert Fox, and the bleeding West politicians will eat it up like French pastries.
Wow, this has to be the head-fakes of head-fakes.
Has anyone noticed that this is a uni-lateral cease-fire? Does it say anywhere that the rebels are going to cease-fire too? Oh wait, those were all paid for and supported by Snark and Co.
Hmmmm... nice that bumbs are not falling and bull-ets not flying, but if ever I saw a herring look red, it's this. From now till Sunday morning, everything is Supermoon Madness.
I'll count on anything on Monday. When Terrence Mckenna's slide date begins.
Nope, cannot and will not catch a break this time around I'm afraid.
Incidentally, for the first time in all my years, 48 hour wait for physical silver, investors buying in huge quantities (I cradled a 30 Kilo block some guy had sent his driver to pick-up, crazy).
So, as before, Silver, it's where it's at.

http://aadivaahan.wordpress.com/2011/03/17/archetypal-astrology-from-cathartes-aura/
good point, we have not heard the rebel leader state they will also cease fire.
You can bet your bottom dollar they'll claim all those lost towns back. Q killed a lot of people in those towns. There will be blood...! Q will be nailed to his bunker wall in Tripoli. By the opposition, hopefully, not the French.
is it this easy to fool the EU and USA?? apparently it is..
no fly zone, seem I remember that phrase about another ME country with a strong dictator..lasted what 15 yrs?? very effective it was. lol.
I could be completely wrong here, but I also think they were allowed to fly assault choppers against their own people, just not jets.
Thank goodness -- Denmark tried to start up their F-16's .... but they needed new spark plugs. Now they have time to go to Home Depot.
And the Canadians still need more time to change the windshield wipers on their fighters.......and install headlights for night runs.
UN Observers will make sure nothing bad happens,
like in Darfur.
And Rwanda
Cowardly Qaddafi!
Wasn't this the same guy that threatened to wage warfare on the Mediterranean just yesterday if a No Fly Zone was announced?
It's his poker night .... starting a war on a poker night is a real no-no
BUY Luggage
LOL this Gaddafi fool just doesn't get it... He's not "in" anymore... He has to go. No terms, no conditions, no hanging onto power, just go and be tried in a kangaroo court and get hanged. You made a deal with the devil and now the devil is getting his due. How dense can one dictator be?
Dense enough to stay in power for 40 yrs.
He was only allowed to stay in power as long as he was a convenient tool. It appears he doesn't understand that.
Dense enough to stay in power for 40 yrs.
Let's not forget that the rest of the Mid-East is still on fire. Looks like Wall Street already has forgotten. For the hour, at least!
And it is Freaky Friday when all the stuff happens over there.
Maybe Qaddafi could get the next "Peace Prize"...
Well they gave it to O'b for going into AF-stan and staying on in Iraq. Impressive double war whammy to get his peace prize!
I think Q will have to open a second war front to qualify to that major league status with the Nobel club. Pretty selective guys.
Funny how OIL BUYING HEAVILY commenced after the "drop"!!!
USA! USA!! USA!!! USA!!!!
Crude
H&S target of 86.30.

And - last I checked isn't he still on Interpol's most wanted list???
Don't they usually try to get those guys?
Well, Bush and Cheney are also on Interpols most wanted list.
This is like the guy who just won the big pot at a poker game, yawning, stretching, looking at his watch and saying, "Jeez! Is is THAT late already? Cripes! We should probably all head home, don't you think!?"
I bet Q goes all in in building ties with China and Russia at this point.
Can we at least go to Yemen? They are killing people over there.
Do they have oil? Because if they don't have oil it's alright if the slaughter their civilians.
Whatever we think of Gadaffi's past actions are justified, he is all that the media have described him as. But the record shows the most belligerent country since the second world war is the USA, whether by counting the number of wars they have taken to other countries of by way of the number of weapon sales to dictators like Gadaffi. Today they are using their peanut brain European lackeys to do the dirty. Is anyone in any doubt as to what this is about? But Gaddafi is probably five steps ahead of our western dinosaur leaders, and at least Cameron and Sarko will get their arses seriously spanked when they get back to talking business with the dictator.
Gawdafee has promised a full pardon for all rebels who cease fighting. And then death!
Well it ain't over yet and the details will likely continue to be messy.
But I'm right so far...
The U.S. (Obama) will not be discharging ordinance from warplanes over Libya or put troops on Libyan soil.
Its a clever move. In the meantime, while the big powers perhaps are confused by this latest move, I mean, think about it, how is it going to look , bombing people who have called a ceasefire, which according to the European powers is what they really wanted all along (of course it isn't ) but let's play along shall we. The European powers and the Amerikans being pushed by the hidden hand in all of this want blood and death and destruction, this is what they want. So Gadaffi has bought some time now as this false thing (that does not exist by the way) the rule of law takes hold, cough , cough.....While they are in a confused state, if he has not done it already, Have all pilots fly all my aircraft to the home of my friend , Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwe, and tell him, these are now yours my friend, a gift of the Libyan people. Also I would load up all of my tanks on flat beds and take them across the border as well and anything else of value, which imho opinion, since he has not really needed all of them, he should have been doing already. As I have said before, he has seen what these punks have done to others and is at least trying to delay it being done to Libya and to himself..........So now Libya is swallowed up and loses it national sovereignty and we go along with it because we are stupid and silly and are told day in and day out what a evil man this leader is and nobody even takes a moment to consider that maybe they are being lied to for a purpose. God help us now....
Your concerns are very important to consider. As Nathan Martin said this morning regarding the U.N. creation of a ‘No-Fly Zone’ in Libya: “That’ll mean another war front for our military and yet another big question mark for the Middle-East. I’m not entirely sure how to read events there. I get the feeling that there’s a lot more to it than just the spreading of freedom – I believe ‘freedom’ has become as manipulated as our ‘free’ markets – and the manipulation is coming from the same exact few individuals WHO control the production of money around the globe.”
There are many flies in the freedom ointment. A British official appearing this morning on Al Jazeera said the cease fire does not preclude the use of ground forces by TPTB if it’s perceived the citizens of Benghazi are being threatened. Preparations will continue, he said. IMO, U.S. ground troops on Libyan soil is a prelude to war and resource seizure.
Also, the loyalties of France’s President Nicolas Sarkozy , an intervention hawk, are questionable at best Considering his past statements, they appear to lie first with Israel and the bankers, and then with a one-world management. France is a mere chess piece to be manipulated in the overall winner-take-all game. Sarkozy has called for a new international monetary system and a World Environment Organization (WEO) as powerful as the WTO. In 2008, he made a forceful speech at the United Nations, vowing to pursue further sanctions against Iran…
Raanan Eliaz. consultant on European-Israeli Affairs, said in 2007 that “as a Minister of Interior, Sarkozy shared much common policy ground with (then) former Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.”
As regards the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, M.J. Rosenberg reports in AIPAC’s Newest Strategy that the Netanyahu government and AIPAC already have begun smear tactics to blame the Palestinian Authority (PA) for lack of a peace process. They are using the old “there is no partner” mantra, so Israel can “preserve an ugly and deadly status quo” by ruling out any withdrawal to the ’67 lines and only a very partial settlement freeze, he said. (British Foreign Minister William Hague has said that the “territorial basis for any agreement must be the pre-’67 borders.”)
“Knowing that the PA can no longer afford to even consider such an offer, Netanyahu has decided to preemptively label Israel's old friends in the Palestinian Authority as extremists, with the goal of ensuring that both Congress and the Obama administration back his plan,” said Rosenberg, a Senior Foreign Policy Fellow at Media Matters Action Network.
All this is a prelude for AIPAC’s annual conference (May22-24) where members of the U.S. House and Senate and the president or vice president of the United States, along with candidates for Congress and the leading Republican candidates for president, will be in attendance to get their year’s marching orders and their campaign contributions, “all vying for support by promising undying loyalty to the AIPAC agenda.”
In addition, Israel wants a full-cut-off of US and international aid to the Palestinians, while at the same time defense minister Barak is requesting another $20 billion in U.S. aid to Israel.

Very good. Also something else that is bazaar beyond words to consider. Israel's Declining Sperm Quality Tied To Depleted Uranium Exposure
http://www.countercurrents.org/king150410.htm
How puzzling it is, to see this and hear this. I knew there would be a problem about it. Now it is happening in spades. Yet it was for Israel that we fought the Iraq wars in order to secure the eastern border (Euphrates river) of the land called Eretz Israel, the new improved and enlarged land of Israel, according to the Bible in which God promised this land to the people of the promise (of which the present occupants) are not, but let's not quibble shall we?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_of_Israel
So now they watched and laughed as DU bombs landed on the Iraqis and killed them and poisoned them. So now the prevailing winds of the earth spread the nano radioactive particles, over the earth and men and women die much faster. The winds carried this DU dust across Israel and all over the middle east and beyond. Let us examine for a minute what this means. All we have to do is exaamine the veterans of the Gulf war and how 75,000 or more of them now have died as a direct result of DU poisoning, with another 200,000 or more sick now, which they unknowingly passed to their wives when they came home and as a direct result of having relations with their wives, their children are born with deformities. It is easy to pretend that this isn't happening with all the things happening in the world today, but I am afraid it is happening. We have destroyed the middle east with this stuff and the weird part about it, is that the very people that these wars were designed to help (supposedly) are also being adversely affected by this stuff. Strange things are happening if you ask me.

It is clear beyond a shadow of doubt that the zionist policy reguarding all of this is in full effect and that is of course , the fact that zionist feel strongly that jews must die for the good of world jewry and, so they have and so they will and as this happens, these jews in Israel and elsewhere, somehow think, that they are part of it all, never knowing that many of them, also, were being used as useful idiots and space holders for others at the top of the world pyramid power structure. I remember reading the quote of a prominent early zionist jew named Izaak Greenbaum who said:
"One Cow in Palestine is worth more than all the Jews in Poland"
http://www.jewsagainstzionism.com/antisemitism/holocaust/index.cfm
Its obvious the power structure doesn't give one good damn about any of them.
I have jewish friends. I tell them this stuff and they look at me like I am crazy. They cannot believe it. They are not alone. Most do not believe it, but it is true. They think they are part of it all and that they are being called to help and support Israel because it is a place where jews can go in case of trouble etc. I have no problem saying that they too are useful idiots being lied to and never knowning the truth, will in the end be eliminated like so many of us, because their usefulness has come to a end. One thing is for certain. In the racist religion called rabbinical judaism and in the study of the Talmud gentiles are considered cattle and are not human. I can deal with that. No problem. But I have a message for those who believe such things. Many of you who believe this shall in the end suffer the same fate as us all. Many cattle shall be killed both gentile and jew...Such is life here in the 21st century of this land called Amerika. And knowing all of this, many refuse to see it and refuse to discuss it and have the nerve to turn on the boob toob and watch dancing with the stars. The Apostle Paul said it best in the Biblical book of Acts chapter 7: 51 - 53.
51Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.
52Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:
53Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.
And so we were and so we are and nothing has changed. God help this country.
Qadaffi also said once a upon a time he was not responsible for PAN AM 103 but that eventually proved to be a lie. Why on earth would anyone believe him about a ceasefire? he's clearly using the same playbook as Saddam and Ahmadinajad.
Peace for our time....
Piece of red Q-meat in our plate with good french, 'Bordo' wine...
This is all scripted, we need Daffy to hold power. Sorry Saudi shites, nobody loves you.
Gaddafi is a survivor. You don't rule a country like Libya for 40+ years by being a dope or a weakling. This is a stall tactic.
for fucks sake, just get this over with and let the Libyan people move forward. Locate the regime and lock on the cruise missles.....NOW,.... end this circus
Do you have a paradisiacal island to propose where Q and family could move for retirement with the pot of gold? St Helena maybe? Came in useful last time round.
Sure, Jannah.
He'll never make it there, more likely the other place. Anyways the company is always better down below, so many interesting people...even if it's a little hotter!
You ever get the feeling this is all one big orchestrated game? The worlds falling apart......no it's all good party on......its all falling apart.....it's good again rock on. Go back and watch Dancing with the Stars...nothing to see here.
Yes.
he will call the arab league to provide him the same assistance than in Barhain to control crowds
Have the serene and lazy knowledge that only Gaddafy has declared a cease fire. If it seems that the world is falling apart it is time to reconsider your world view (for better or worse) to include new and perhaps conflicting information. It may not be comfortable.

Typical bully behavior from Gadaffi. When they know their game is up, cannot bully their way forward anymore, all of sudden they turn into Mr. Saint Human Rights Activists.
That man has done unspeakable crimes against Libyans and should be put to jail ASAP.
I agree and would prefer a well-placed bomb on whatever palace he is currently residing. And round up his paid mercenaries and prosecute them.
Ceasefire? Had they announced immediate capitulation that would have been news sure, but a ceasefire?
This is nonsence
I can see why you have a Phd! But Q doesn't, that's the kicker! He thinks he can hoodwink the world. And he's right. Sarko never got a PHD either. Only Benocide!! Look at what a PHD can do ...inventor of WMD, all in paper USD!
All about the collapsing 75.8 dollar to me.
And oil aint down THAT much at $102 its down .30 cents. Lets face it Hillery's got a hard-on, she wants her war theyll go anyway!
This is exactly why we need our President to take swift, decisive, action - rather than sit-back and contemplate, all-the-while waiting for the rest of the world to move first. Allowing the UN to drive this situation is ridiculous. It takes too long and it's provides too much time for despots like Gaddafi to strategize. Working through the UN, the next steps are telegraphed and any element of surprise is completely lost. We had the opportunity to put a quick end to this mess - now it will drag out for who-knows how long. This is a perfect example of why Obama, the embodiment of the spineless, politically-correct, apologist Liberal establishment, is quickly earning the title of worst President ever...
Im sure Obama will turn to swift decisive presidential action just as soon as March Madness and his vacation is over.
meanwhile, daffy knows who is on his terrorist strikeback list!
Clinton pledges to aid Tunisia reforms
"We need a plan for economic development, for jobs. The Tunisian people deserve that," [Clinton] told reporters, saying the US would take part in a donors' conference later this year to help the North African nation.

Let's see, the USA is going to help create jobs in Tunisia. How many Americans are claiming unemployment insurance, 8,953,610?

Food stamps - 43.6 million Americans relied on 'em in November

Cost of living in the USA at all time highs but there's no inflation.
http://www.cnbc.com/id/42130406
Huh, so domestically the cost of living is rising and so is the number of people reliant on a handout of any sort. Social Security? How is this going to end?
What is the population of Tunisia, 10,629,186? (July 2011 est. from CIA, + refugees...)
There are probably more jobless people in the US than there are people in Tunisia. I bet they are going to see a lot of help from Clinton, Obama, the IMF, World Bank, and the rest of the "Club."
Some how I don't think this arrangement has the best interests of Tunisia in mind.
"Time to modernize your oil wells. Did you know there are lots of jobs in nuclear...How about some nuclear reactors? They're on sale right now, time to cash-in."

ps-How much longer can we actually continuing paying taxes into this ponzi? Do we not understand that by paying taxes we support every action? We are the problem and it is not going to go away until it is way too late, but everyday closer.
Not to mention, once again we are distracted from everything to do with Wall Street, Washington, and the International World Bank Government. Debt ceiling, US Federal Budget, bankrupt states, Korea, European contagion, and Japan is printing, the US is printing, Europe is printing, oil production is.......,everything is good in China(?) and who wins and loses in this currency battle? Answer, it is not going to be the leaders.
Revolution not change, political strife not bipartisanship, legalized theft not earmarks, death not life, environmental devastation not environmental progress, armies not bankers, lies not disinformation, and we've long since seen the end of peaceful demonstration with police killing their countrymen for what? This is the new normal. resist or die.
No one said it. Someone must.
BTFD!!!
In what?
Not sure if this story is referencing events taking place after the supposed cease-fire:
http://ca.news.yahoo.com/government-attack-libyas-misrata-kills-25-doctor-20110318-135011-328.html
But more of this sort of thing is to be expected regardless...
I have to wonder if Q hasn't been asking for this no fly zone for a week behind closed doors. An attack against government forces by rebels is technically illegal so Q fighting back is legal (note: I am saying legal, not morally right). Committing a massacre against your own people is not legal, but if you stop before you get the job done you are weak especially in the ME culture. So what do you do? You pick up the phone you call your buddies in the EU and say hey I need you guys to "make" me stop killing these rebels. They declare a no fly zone, you declare a cease fire, and you hold on to power, and quietly eliminate any opposition.
If you don't do this the US waits till you destroy the rebels then bombs your ass back to the stone age takes your oil, and you just end up dead.
Disclosure: I think we should just kill the ahole and let things settle where they may, i also thought we should have killed saddam and left the iraqi's to figure it out, and I really didn't have a problem with spanking the taliban right off the bat but again we should have left immediately afterwards.
25 DEAD IN BOMBARDMENT BY GADDAFI FORCES (3-18-2011)
http://ca.news.yahoo.com/government-attack-libyas-misrata-kills-25-docto...
The Libyan government has expressed such overwhelming eagerness to abide by the UN resolution that maybe they'll start bombing their own troops.
Why is Libya concerned about sovereignty? Don't they know we are all part of the NWO headed by the UN, IMF, World Bank and other central bankers?
How stupid are the markets?
I mean Gaddaffi talks of a ceasefire (technically there was no war) and the oil price plummets.
Have the speccy-laters forgotten about Bharain, Yemen and the loss of Japanese Nuclear power (soon to be replaced by oil)?
What short term fools - the drop in Brent-crude futures is incredible - it really shows the markets have no idea about whats around the corner - it's not price discovery - it's price manipulation - egged on by easy money from central bankers.
Even ignoring all that - since when have we ever trusted Gaddaffi's word? - it wasn't worth the breath it was released on last week - all of a sudden the world oil speculators want to put their bottom dollar on it!
...and you wonder why it's all going to end badly.
Im not seeing this 'oil price plummeting', down .60 cents is a big deal?
Ever seen a scared herd of bisons stampeding in a western?
I laid this out yesterday after overhearing a conversation at the UN vote meeting:
"Jim, is that you?
Wow, what's it been... six months? That long? Nooo... wow!
It's just great to see ya!
Yeah, these votes are a pain in the ass, but the food is top-notch and the hotels and women are great. What's this one about? Oh, Libya, right... It's about time we got Mubarak out of there.
What? Mubarak was last week? Gadaffi? The guy Reagan killed in the 80's? He missed? Jesus, well, he definitely has to go then. So wait, who's Mubarak?
Egypt? Is that what we're voting on, bombing Egypt? Or wait, you said Libya. Right. And Gadaffi is in Libya. And that's who we're bombing. Who in Libya are we bombing? Gadaffi?
No? Who then? What will we do with Gadaffi? Convince him to resign?? And do what? The French seem very adamant that he be done away with after all.
Oh, the French have a villa and a two billion euro bank account set aside for him? So France wants us to bomb Gadaffi into submitting to fleeing his country for a villa in the south of France... where the French will immediately arrest him!
???
No? What do you mean they'll eventually invite him to participate in the middle east peace process? You mean... What? Who's there? Benghazi who? ... Bwaaaahahaahahahahahahahahahahah! *sips $4000 per bottle champagne* Oh man, these rebels are seriously going to get massacred."
Don't believe Muammar. He is playing "Saddam" to Obama's "Bush". We will get to see who is the better role player!
