Emails Prove Hillary Knew Libyan Rebels Were Conducting Ethnic Cleansing, Supported Them Anyway
Submitted by Dan Wright via TheAntiMedia.org,
On New Year’s Eve, the State Department released 3,000 new Hillary Clinton emails from her tenure as secretary of state. While much of the corporate media dove into investigating pointless gossip, Brad Hoff at the Levant Report decided to look for more clues into understanding the epic failure that was the 2011 war on Libya by the US and NATO.
What Hoff discovered in the emails was Secretary Clinton being briefed by a trusted advisor, Sidney Blumenthal, on events in Libya where Clinton’s public statements appear to contradict her private understanding. The issues range from the early presence of special forces and al Qaida-linked militants on the ground to the material motivations of France (gold, oil). And, of course, more evidence that Clinton knew the claims about Qaddafi issuing Viagra to troops for rapes were bogus.
But, perhaps, the most troubling revelation is that Secretary Clinton was being explicitly told that the Libyan rebel forces were conducting racially charged massacres of black Africans under the rationale of labeling them “foreign mercenaries.”
In an email on March 27, 2011 [PDF], Blumenthal informs Secretary Clinton that a Libyan rebel commander told him that “his troops continue to summarily execute all foreign mercenaries captured in the fighting.”
Summarily execute is a nice way of saying they are straight up killing anyone they see, who they think could be a “foreign mercenary.”
So, you ask, how are the rebels determining who are (and are not) foreign mercenaries based merely on sight?
The answer is based on the color of their skin. But the killings were not just cases of mistaken identity, they were part of a racial grudge connected to perceived favoritism by the Gaddafi government.
As the BBC reported in 2011, the war for the rebels extended to black Libyan civilians and sub-Saharan contract workers. The town of Tawergha, whose residents were descendants of black slaves, was “cleansed” by the rebels. The 30,000 people who lived in Tawergha were forced to flee, many unable to outrun the rebels and subjected to beatings, rape, and those summary executions Blumenthal mentioned.
A 2011 report from Human Rights Watch accuses rebels of terrorizing the people of Tawergha. After setting their homes on fire, the rebels captured the black Libyans and subjected them to “torture and severe beatings, sometimes leading to death.”
The ethnic cleansing campaign by the rebels continued throughout 2011 and into 2012, when The Telegraph reported black migrant workers, along with black Libyans, were imprisoned, abused, and labeled foreign mercenaries.
In a video published by The Telegraph, a black African is ordered by a rebel to eat the former Libyan flag while in a cage.
The tragic irony of all this is that Hillary Clinton led the charge for a war in Libya based on a claim of a potential massacre in Benghazi. The massacre in Benghazi never occurred (and was likely overblown), but real ethnic cleansing and massacres did occur when the US and NATO empowered the Libyan rebels to overthrow Gaddafi and use their weapons beyond the war zone.
Today, Libya is a failed state infested with the Islamic State and other Islamic terrorist groups thanks to Clinton and friends. Quite a liberation.

At least Hillary will be afforded the benefit of a fair trial,
and we will be able to enjoy the spectacle of her fair trial.
"...epic failure that was the 2011 war on Libya by the US and NATO."
Epic failure? You reckon?
From the US and NATO's point of view, it was a great success. Failed state on the edge of Europe, massive movement of Muslims from Africa to Europe, the creation of chaos within Europe and the destruction of the European culture and civilisation. IMHO of course.
Anything else they 'failed' at?
Syria was 2011 too.
...Boay Ya
Actually Hillary is just a (white) monkey on a string. She does what the beast tells her to do.
'Black Lives Dont Matter'
"The massacre in Benghazi never occurred..."
yes it did: 4 Americans were left to die by Shrillery and Obola.
That two faced lying bitch, her Hill Billy and every other nasty lil nazionist need to be on trial at The Hague for war crimes, crimes against humanity; destroying the Constitution and Bill of Rights which gave their forbears refuge from the Old World which their families fled as it was ruined by the hubris of moneychangers and dupes - and now they repeat the same errors.
They come to the new world; the land of Tisquantum and those he saved. They have the bare faced cheek to repeat history's mistakes.
End the Fed.
End the money. End the wars. Jail the bastids. Defend the Constitution. Keep the guns.
Meh...who gives a rats about a few illiterate, non-productive black folks in that s*it-hole Africa!
Senator: One village! And it brought stability to the region. Which means that no one chops off their arms because their grandmother's grandfather belonged to a different tribe.
They like us down there, boy...
This is a country where the Secretary of "State" can go on TV and tell the American public, oh, that, " This is about freedom! It's not about oil!"
And nobody questions "her", because they don't want to hear the answer because it's a lie!
There's only so many places at the table, Gunnie.
Now are you on the inside, or are you on the out?
Witch burning is against the law nowadays. Pity. I'd put Hitlery, Pelosi, Feinstein at the top of the pyre. But it's illegal these days. Harrumph!
Can't blame the women married to the devious Bush tribe; they were only following orders .
There is no cure for stupid or venal.
Anyone have the pleasure to talk at length with Hillary supporters?
It literally boils down to they are simply going to vote for a woman no matter what. I am not suggesting that people who would vote for Rubio or Cruz are going to split the atom anytime soon but Hillary's supporters are frighteningly ignorant and obtuse.
And for those here, reading: no, your 'right' to something does not imply my 'obligation' to pay for it.
Sorry - can't find any willing to admit it!
Then don't bail them out next time. Left, right, left, right...off to war over other people's blood and treasure.
I have no guilt, and no intention to tolerate the lies of the career politicians, and their endless thieving,, taxing, all for the war profiteers and pornographers who use them as puppets.
End the Fed.
Nikki Haley needs 10,000 Syrian male refugees of military age to be 'settled' in South Carolina... Then ask her about her immigration statements...
No, She needs a 2x4 shoved up her fucking dumb cunt!
All of you saying bad things about Hillary are sexiss.
Thank you for your enlightening comments, Nutsack.
;-)
Not nice to take the piss out of stupid. It's like wrestling with a pig. The pig likes it, and you get dirty...
Thanks for wrestling. Made me chuckle ;-)
'sexiss'. Crikey. Learn a new word every day...
I'm voting for Trump, but I gave $50 to Bernie today just to help him stop this She Devil.
I will never vote for any politician who puts foreign law above the Constitution, and that includes Israel, the genocidal state beloved of Tramp and every other ass licking arriveste.
IF Americans understood how many brave Americans died to make a Constitutional Republic, then the Constitution would remain the supreme law of the land instead of being usurped by the enemies within; the nasty career politicians beholden to insolvent banksters, the international financiers, and the Crown of the City of London.
Those "Brave Americans" are lost and forgotten in the New Normal. Someone wants us to believe we should feel guilty for their sacrifices. These people are the Hillary base.
Arabs have always discriminated against african blacks. Nothing new. Who taught the euros the slave trade after all? Yep, Arabs did. And they still hold slaves to this day although they keep it kinda quiet now.
Man I been tellin you guys super progressive hero Hillary aided and abeted sworn enemies of the USA (Islamic Terrorists of Benghazi) when Gaddafi had them on the ropes.
Gaddafi was goin after the murdering Islamic criminals big time but Hillary "Bloody Hands" Clinton illegally intervened( a progressive thing), destroying whole nations in the process and the rivers of blood are still flowing.
Progressive criminal Hillary Clinton is the face of death for millions if not stopped and brought to justice.
Don't forget, to have a crime you must first have a progressive.

I do not give a shit about all this zionist vs islamist; jew vs arab BULLSHIT. Stop bowing down to medievalism.
Defend the Constitution. Keep the guns.
Put Hitlery and the Bush tribe on trial at The Hague for war crimes.
Absolutely no compromise on the first 2.
Only 'progressives' commit crimes. And Hillary is a 'progressive.'
The allegations of an anoxic moonbat.
Too much Faux News for you.
Hitlery is a two faced lyng batshit crazy zionist. Wake up. She is not 'progressive'. She is owned; silly, stupid 'educated fool'.
Don't know about you Baron Munchesonshit pal but I do not see any consitutional conservatives in charge. Ron Paul was as close as it came.
Everything to the left of true constitutional conservative is progressive. That include both rethuglicans and commiecrats. And you see the rampant crime spree committed by the progressive led FEDGOV for the last 100 years + don't ya?
Duh.
I hate faux news. Never watch them or any other "news" propaganda garbage. Faux are as criminally progressive as any other except when Judge Andrew Napolitano speaks.
Grimaldus
The Constitutional Republic is attacked by all sides. We are dying on our feet, not living on our knees. So be it. They will miss us when we are gone, and all they have is the zionist vs islamist, the Crown, the failed banksters of the City of London, and globalisation; new feudalism.
The facade of polite/civil society will fail first. Hope it does not play out into a Rwanda style genocide.
I suppose that would be the simpleton take on the matter.
ZH can keep blaming Obama and Clinton for everything; the fact is that it is the USA as a whole that is doing these things; repeatedly; decade after decade. Does anyone suggest that Bush's invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan were somehow different or better than what Obama and Clinton have done? That it had some positive benefit for the people in those countries? What are you going to do, vote Republican because they are less culpable than Clinton somehow? Pinning the tail on Clinton is nothing more than scape-goating. Want to put Clinton in jail? Start with Bush and Cheney. Add Obama for drone killings if you like. There is a long line. Maybe move on to Wall Street after that. Time for the USA to stop its military interventions; to stop putting military bases all over the world; and to stop pretending that this has something to do with an individual politician here or there.
4 weeks. Heh.
You are an obvious noob. We insult everyone around here with equal glee. This article is about Hillary, so yeah, we are going to give Hillary a nice blanket party, with rocks in our socks and everything. Put up a Dickless, Heartless, Cheney article and watch the shit fly.
Stick around for a while, noob. No special RINO love here. Some folks like Trump, but that is because he is saying stuff out loud that has not been okay to say, but it is kinda true.
Ron Paul, most of us do not pick on. Some will, but it will only be to fret that his son is a sell out, or that he just wasn't fake enough to play the fake pol game (ie he is not an aging plastic Ken doll, like Biden is, or like Kerry wishes he was).
Stick around and learn, or troll ignorantly. Your call.
Liking the cut of your jib, MsCreant. Tell it true, sister.
PS
Don't put a comma before the word 'or'. That is a hanging offense ;-)
Yours sincerely,
The Pedant
,or
Da MsC be cool. Read 'em his rights.
Agree with what you say as far as it goes, but this story just further underscores Hillary's cynicism. She laughed when Qaddafi was torn apart on the street, and now there is evidence she probably considered race-based massacres merely collateral damage in the effort to install a western-compliant government in Libya. And then the project failed anyway, so all those deaths were wasted.
I held my nose and voted for Bill, but I won't for Hillary. She can't even fake sincerity as well as he did.
Brother. We live and learn. We have been betrayed. The world of politics and failed banks is more sinister than any sane person could ever know.
Make it different this time. Jail 'em. Don't bail 'em. Don't vote for anyone who puts a foreign country above our own, the Constitution which is our protection against the Old World masters, and their puppets.
Vote for a candidate from this horde? You have got be using sarcasm.
Oh, reeeaaalllly, Tumbleweeds? And you are innocent?
There's nothing so funny as moral indignation from a lapdog.
Yea, but we can't be the World's Reserve Currency without a stong and intimidating military..............
Strong, good.
Intimidating, bad.
Come home to the Constitution. End the Fed.
The US and its Anglosphere and EU vassals are just acting consistent with long standing policy.
The CIA created Al Qaeda in Afghanistan out of their Muslim Brotherhood networks in Saudi Arabia.
Al Qaeda = The Base = The Database = The CIA Rolodex
They spread Al Qaeda via a front in Azerbaijan to:
The US use of Muslim Brotherhood networks goes back to the end of WW2.
Hillary is just acting consistent with previous US policy:
ISIS is just another Al Qaeda spinoff that the US exploits.
The US also has a long history of using fascists and nazis since the end of WW2 (reference Yugoslavia in the 1990s and more recently in Ukraine, and Allen Dulles use of Wehrmacht Nazis in the Gladios and the CIA).
True.
Then it's time they paid the bill.
This whole bag o' shit of the duopoly candidates for the presidency goes to show that the real rulers regard the election charade as a shit show as there is not an intellectual (rounded education and ability to think for oneself in an inteligent manner) among the group, just these vetted yes men/women wanting the perks during and after the political gig. I wouldn't waste any emotion or effort to bother with this phony facade of an election, democracy or republic.
Her campaign is toast. Looking foreward to a Bernie/Trump showdown
Bernie/Trump...what a show for the low information voters. Entertainment. Not serious, adult, solvent diplomacy, politics or the real economy, imo.
Dog and pony shows?
Show trials?
Perpwalk the traitors to save the country?
What do you call 10,000 lawyers at the bottom of the sea?
That's a rhetorical question, isn't it?
A good start
Pollution
Saving space on prisons
Sewage disposal...
For you lawyers out there I like (I mean you Davey Jones, Macho Man) sorry.
one not to far away day the people of the globe will declare open season on americans. Will have nothing to do with their voting habits.
