"The Jihadists Will Attack Europe": Leaked Phone Call Shows Gaddafi Warned Tony Blair Of Terror Attacks

Tyler Durden's picture




 

On Wednesday, we took a close look at the battle for Libya’s oil.

Libya, much like Syria, is a case study in why the West would be better off not intervening in the affairs of sovereign states on the way to bringing about regime change. “Toppling dictators” sounds good in principle, but at the end of the day, it’s nearly impossible to predict what will emerge from the power vacuums the US creates when Washington destabilizes governments.

Post-Baathist Iraq is rife with sectarian discord, a post-Assad Syria would likely be an even bloodier free-for-all than it already is, and post-Gaddafi Libya is a failed state with two governments each claiming legitimacy. These types of environments are exploitable by extremists eager to capitalize on the chaos by seizing resources and, ultimately, power.

Just today for instance, nearly 50 people were killed in Libya when a truck bomb hit a police training center where recruits were holding a morning meeting. “Mayor Miftah Hamadi said the truck bomb detonated as around 400 recruits were gathering in the early morning at the police center in Zliten, a coastal town between the capital Tripoli and the port of Misrata,” Reuters reports, adding that “the Zliten blast was the worst since an attack in February last year when three car bombs hit the eastern city of Qubbah, killing 40 people in what officials described as a revenge attack for Egyptian air strikes on Islamist militant targets.”

"It was horrific, the explosion was so loud it was heard from miles away," Hamadi told Reuters by phone. "All the victims were young, and all about to start their lives."

The blast was the deadliest since Gaddafi’s ouster and comes as militants loyal to Ibrahim Jadhran battle ISIS for control of key oil fields and ports. Islamic State’s presence in Libya has grown and the group may be looking to supplement oil income lost to Russian airstrikes in Syria with sales of Libyan crude.

Who could have seen all of this - including the Paris attacks - coming, you ask? Well, Muammar Gaddafi for one.

According to The Telegraph, Gaddafi warned Tony Blair that jihadists would one day attack Europe in the event his government fell. “Gaddafi's dire prediction was made in two desperate telephone calls with Mr Blair on February 25, 2011 - as civil war was engulfing Libya,” The Telegraph writes. “In the first call at 11:15am, Gaddafi said: "They [jihadists] want to control the Mediterranean and then they will attack Europe." Here’s more:

In a second call made a little over four hours later, Gaddafi told Mr Blair: "I will have to arm the people and get ready for a fight. Libyan people will die, damage will be on the Med, Europe and the whole world. These armed groups are using the situation [in Libya] as a justification - and we shall fight them."

 

 

Mr Blair had made two calls to Gaddafi to try to negotiate the dictator's departure from Tripoli as civil war engulfed the nation. Three weeks later, a Nato-led coaltion that included Britain, began bombing raids that led to the overthrow of Gaddafi. The dictator was finally deposed in August and murdered by a mob in October.

 

 

This is what Gaddafi got for his trouble:

So much for this:

You'll recall that Bashar al-Assad also warned Europe that destabilizing governments was a recipe for disaster. "We said, don't take what is happening in Syria lightly," Assad said, in the wake of the Paris attacks.

"Unfortunately, European officials did not listen," he added.

The Great Triangle, Tel Aviv, London and DC. They create 99% of the worlds problems, wars, corruption, fraud, pillaging, plundering, deceit and political espionage.
The Mossad, MI 6 and CIA are the agent provocateurs. Spycraft, stagecraft, drug running, regime toppling and assassination, are the tools of their trade.
Accumulation of wealth, power, division of the masses by propaganda are the names of their game plan...and they are very close to accomplishing their goals. Financial ruin of the middle class, usurpation of sovereign nations and one world government.

Lol, not on purpose. That is the other, true, moneyed triangle, that was around much longer before Israel...Vatican City, The City of London and Washington DC. Three independent city states within Italy, England and USA. It's interesting how similar all three are, in many different, but subtle ways.

Deserved every punch and molar pulled out after what he did to Pan Am Flight 103.  Hope all 270 souls that perished got a shot at that POS on the other side. Would've been better to have a few JDAM's join the party out there on that road.

The blow back will be fierce. ISIS/Daesh will morph again and again with or without the CIA's assistance. In the end, the USA will be judged harshly for being on the wrong side of history. From slavery to the genocide of the indigenous, to the murderous beast the state has become today with legalized torture and hyper-surveillance, America and its minions like Blair have never been more disgusting.

'Kill all the lawyers.' (Shakespeare). He was referring to the tax collectors, the usury of the indebted King/State which fought wars for vanity and possession, and needed the people to pay for it.

In those days, 'lawyers' did the bidding of the King/State, with tax collecting the main aim. Same as today.

End the Fed.

The Jihadists are loving every moment of watching European Leftists fight the battle to keep bordes open for them to get in. This last year they got in over 1,000 single young men, hiding behind a tiny minority of women and children. As the masses moved through Europe, they forced women and babies to the front of the columns so media cameras whould catch that scene. But over 80% of the total were 15-35 years old, prime Jihadists. No families to bother with. They watched as Liberal Women held up "Welcome Refugees" and thought, 'what a fucking bunch of dopes'.

In a few years another 5-10 million Islamic youth will have joined the current group to form armies of young Islamists. They shoud be able to form units of 10-20 thousand at the drop of a hat. Millions more want to come, liberal European women and their mangina lovers want them to come. Idiots. There is no excuse for such human stupidity. Islamists are laughing. It is all too good to be true.

Who made the so called jihadists, hmmm? It was the madcap zionists.

Zionism vs Islamists, and the world is caught in their medievalist claptrap.

Reminds me of an old cartoon series: Spy Vs Spy, until a third spy comes along and stops them before they blow up everyone...

When the USA/ZATO war machine began destroying the entire middle east, stealing, raping and leaving millions of refugees homeless, it was just a statistic.  But, when a blonde, blue eyed victim emerges, it's suddenly a tragedy. 

This was just one story among many:

<-- Fact : Evil West is murdering heads of states

All poor nations without nuclear weapons

get nuclear weapons fast 

buy from North Korea

or

come under protection of Russia, China, BRICS

Russia alone has more nuclear weapons than all the rest of the world combined

China has 2.5 million strong army

Remember : America destroys its friends or they are made to suffer whereas Russia , China & BRICS have always helped their friends & allies.

Choose your side or become like Gaddafi

Silly boy.

Heads of States murder Heads of States.

You are naive or a shill.

Take another look at that picture: Blair lived. Gaddafi died. Blair was close to Gaddafi, and they both knew each other's secrets.

Other Heads of States work for corporations too. It's all about the money in the corporatist world, not you.

Gaddafi was murdered in cold blood by Clinton and her NATO flunkies in criminal violation of all international law.  It was a war crime, and Hillary Clinton is a war criminal right up there with GW Bush.
