"After Me, The Jihad," Gaddafi Tried To Warn The West, But Nobody Listened

Submitted by Dan Sanchez via TheAntiMedia.org,

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.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who had done more than any single person to advance the Libya War, was informed of Gaddafi’s death while on camera. Fancying herself a modern Caesar, she chortled, “We came, we saw, he died!

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.”

They would soon be joined by U.S. special forces and the CIA.

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.

Ok I gotta say something about this:

"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."

There is nothing conservative about anyone wanting to intervene in other sovereign nations affairs. True constitutional conservatives would not have intervened in Libya or anywhere else.

Anyone in agreement with Hillary's militarism is progressive. Period.

Yes Jesus was a Jew, however he was not the right kind of Jew in the eyes of the Jewish establishment, one of those trouble making Jews, that just would not go away which is why they had to kill him. Look out for the establishment they will kill you every time. It never changes, it just rinses and repeats.

christianity back then was a jewish sect. he tried to convince other jews that he is the messiah even through he did not fullfilled the criteria of being a messiah. later his sect was taken over by others wich twisted the original christianity. then there were splittings of christian sects due to local intelligences as they need to separate their kingdoms from others.

Jesus was not Jewish.

Christianity is not a Jewish sect.

Jesus Christ fulfilled every single prophecy regarding the Messiah.

Read my comments and links in the rest of this thread - it's already been proven (including Isaiah 53: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+53...

blablabla    thats similar to what muhhamad was saying 

because if you read the quran you will hear that jesus was a muslim and he wasnt crucified. and jews were wrong and christians were wrong for rejecting islam.

ask a muslim and he will tell you that his point of view 100% correct. and every one comes up with proof and evidence and if there is no evidence then they just fix it with ignorance. as long as you keep saying something over a long period, people will believe it.

you posting me links but you know that its only theological garbage.

 

if the bush talked to you 2000 years back it was god

if the bush talks to you in 2016 you should visit a doctor

 

and a "jew" is a really wide thing, and atheists can be called a jew and jews back then are different from todays jews by genetical construction. also there are converts like ethiopians, which only calim to be jewish without any levantine dna

so your judeics and hebrews are also in the category of "jew"

You've been led to the light-

But choose to wallow in darkness.

"17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. 19This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. 21But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God." - John 3:17-21

I don't think the name Christianity existed until after Jesus died, so I would agree with you if "back then" means after Jesus died and before Constantine outlawed and looted all the other sects besides his.

No. You're wrong. It wasn't a "jewish sect". He had followers -- both judean and gentile -- who believed him to be "The Messah". His mission was not to create a "religion" but to correct the evils of current judaic pharisitical hierarcy which placed those "elites" between man and God. And yes. The Pharisees negotiated with Pontius Pilot to kill Jesus. Kinda like our USG mercs killing innocents throughout the ME today. No difference. Same ole shit. 

At some point you guys gotta up your game cause some Christians don't read the Scofield bible. Nor believe the current occupiers in Israel have any DNA connection to that land. Nor believe the Talmud is anything more than a power grab by the same Pharisical "elite" minders. Even fundie Xians get tired of sacrificing blood and treasure for Bibi. Tick-tock.

I would say, "Jewish Pharisees" instead of "Jewish Rabbis".  The Pharisees were the group of Rabbis who had agreed to work with the Romans.  Some other Rabbis had not.  One thing I DO like about Judaism is that it seems to be a religion/people/state in which there are always many Rabbis forcefully disagreeing with each other.  That's a variety of "free market", and I think free markets are, politically/economically, the only protection people ever really have.

I thought this book, "Zealot", made a sensible analysis of who Jesus was and what he was trying to do.

http://www.amazon.com/Zealot-Life-Times-Jesus-Nazareth/dp/0812981480/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1453039171&sr=8-1&keywords=zealot

Of course Jesus was Jewish. 

There were many Zealots at that time who objected completely to Herod and the Pharisees running Israel as a slave colony for the Romans.  John the Baptist was one of them, and Jesus studied under John the Baptist.  Some Zealots even assassinated Pharisees, which of course scared the Pharisees to death.  Jesus aimed directly at the Pharisees' racket of requiring anyone who, by faith, needed to make a sacrifice at the Temple, to use a little-used Greek coin to purchase the animals to be sacrificed, such coin being monopolized and thence artificially overpriced by the Pharisees.  That is the same racket the Federal Reserve uses today, in requiring everyone to use Fed "USA" Dollars which the Fed monopolizes and thence artificially overprices.

Fuck that "nobody listened" bullshit. None of this was a "surprise"- it was all calculated.

Saddam Hussein then Gadaffi were overthrown and killed when each began to sell Crude Oil outside the sanctioned amounts. The Saudis ordered each of these overthrows, backed by Israel. The US supplied the money and blood to accomplish each, including Ambassador Stevens' life. The Saudis have been tithing back to DC from crude oil sales for the last 2 decades, buying off our political establishment. As for Israel, the jew-whore Victoria Nuland, wife of Robert Kagan, shows Israel-first traitors control our active foreign policy, never more strongly than when Hillary Clinton was SoS. The Saudis and Israel each realized two decades ago they shared common enemies and shared a complete lack of morality, making themselves natural allies. Both KSA and Israel arer ruthless murderer states.

What is Jihad?

Then think of it over the last 40-50 years in how the social structures has been so twisted by the neocons and the banksters all to enable them to retain power.

Take the state of a human beings mind, it currently has 2 forms ...

1.) Free from the thoughts of killing and aggressive nature, has a greater predominance in those older having been raised and lived a different way.

2.) The youth of today (under 40), with all the rights in the world to do what they want to whoever they want and being so aggressive in their actions.

Which side you going to recruit to fight this Jihad? Now look at the pictures of those radicalised, young huh? This society we live in now, where we have anger management where those of us lived long enough don't need because we do not have to CONTROL THE RAGE IN THE MIND.

Where did this come from? The increased violence in everything, TV, PC games etc. that never existed 40 years ago so when you walked down the street the other person did not have these violent thoughts.

IF THE ABOVE IS RIGHT THEN THE JIHAD CAN NEVER BE WON BECAUSE IT IS IN US IN OUR THOUGHTS AND MINDS AND CHANCES ARE THE CIA OPERATIVES IF THEY DID NOT WORK FOR UNCLE SAM WOULD BE JIHADI'S.

If true then jihadi's are just a group of people with violent intent that our leaders through the society and foreign policies have created. Without removing the violence from the socities then JIHAD CAN NEVER BE DEFEATED.

To the point it is even pointless trying to eradicate it when it is born of what we consider normal.

HUMAN SOCIETY IS SO FUCKED UP.

Obama has much to answer for.

Under his leadership the USA has done more terrorist actions then any other group combined, and killed more innocent people including women and children (even doctors and nurses) then any other group combined. Yes, knowingly arming other groups so they can start masskilling people (ISIS and such) counts as actions by USA. We are living in reality not in some fantasy dreamworld.

There is a word for such a person: War criminal.

When does the USA people act like they preach and put such a person in jail?? NEVER.

USA people are like the fallen angels (demons) ... telling you nice words but their actions kill you.

Has any evidence, as distinct from speculation, emerged as to why the West turned against Ghaddafy?  Was it his plan for an alternative to the petrodollar, the lack of a central bank, or was it part of the Yinon Plan to destabilize all potential enemies? Or a combination of all three?

Whatever it was 'attacking his own people' is laughable as an explanation.

Yes, the main reasons were "alternative to petrodollar", "lack of central bank in cahoots with federal reserve".  Plus, steal physical gold and install another puppet.

Anyway none of this really matters anymore, because the elite will soon run and hide in the bunkers paid for with citizens taxes, after engineering a full economic collapse as well as starting WW3, plus they will make sure that there are enough Jihadi's in the West to start a race war.

After the regime change, on September 11, 2012 . . .

 

Eleven (11) years to the day of 9/11??  This one fact in and of itself shows how scripted and choreographed operations like this (the attack on Libya and subsequent "regime change") are . . . . my question would be what group (or individual) demanded that the actual "regime change" was to occur on 9-11-12??
