A Romp with Newt?

Heard on right-wing radio the other day...

Michael Savage to the women of America: would you sleep with the Pillsbury Dough Boy?
Of course not, and this is why Newt Gingrich can't beat Obama: women voters won't elect a president they wouldn't want to have starring in their sexual fantasies.

Well, given his comments on past indiscretions...

"There's no question at times in my life, partially driven by how passionately I felt about this country, that I worked far too hard and that things happened in my life were not appropriate"

Instead of calling out another woman's name while in the throws of passion, a lady might hear Newt scream:

Oh baby... America... take it yeahh you know you love it Americaaaaah....

Vice: AL QAEDA PLANTS ITS FLAG IN LIBYA

DEBKAfile: US and NATO allies vie over "kudos" for Qaddafi's termination

Libya's transitional leader Mustafa Abdul-Jalil was quite clear about his intentions for liberated Libya Sunday, Oct. 23, when he addressed a crowd of tens of thousands in Benghazi celebrating Muammar Qaddafi's death: "Libyan laws in future would have Sharia, the Islamic code, as its basic source,"...

It was generally believed in Tripoli that the strongmen ruling the capital, Abdel Hakim Belhaj, ex-al Qaeda, and Ismail and Ali al-Sallabi, heads of the Libyan Muslim Brotherhood, only granted Abdul-Jalil's wish for a big liberation rally in Benghazi after he agreed to declare the new Libya a Sharia state.

But after the grand celebration is over, debkafile's sources report, the transitional leader will be little more than a figurehead. Even now, he is confined in Benghazi by the three strongmen, who control most parts of the capital, and have not given him permission to move the seat of the interim government to Tripoli.

Qadaffi Snuffed

The following article by Wayne Madsen echoes many of our own sentiments expressed in the post, Qadaffi Snuff, and it only further exemplifies to what extent into the "Hobbesian abyss" - bellum omnium contra omnes - the West has descended with these allegations that a surrender had been negotiated by members of the Qaddadfa tribe and that white flags were being flown from Sirte and from Qadaffi's convoy when it was attacked. We quote at length...

Strategic Culture Foundation: America’s Death Pornography Culture - Celebrating brutal deaths of Qaddafi and Saddam

As Qaddafi’s body, along with those of his son, Mo’tassim, and the former Libyan army commander, Abu Bakr Yunis, rotted in a meat freezer in Misrata – for the whole world to see -- more details emerged about Qaddafi’s last hours in Sirte. On October 19, at around 8:00 am in Sirte, a convoy of 70 vehicles departed the heavily-bombed out city, heading west. There were also Twitter messages coming out of Sirte reporting that several white flags of surrender were seen in the city at day break. However, a CIA Predator drone tracking the convoy passed its coordinates on to NATO. French and other NATO jets pounded the convoy, incinerating many of the drivers and passengers. Many of those killed were black Libyans. There are now reports of mass graves in Sirte containing the bodies of scores of Qaddafi supporters and fellow tribal members.

There have been some reports that a truce and a surrender by Qaddafi and his forces was worked out between some rebel leaders and Qaddafi’s entourage through the auspices of the Qaddadfa (the tribe to which Qaddafi belonged) tribal leaders in Sirte. After the convoy was on the highway heading west, with reported white flags from some of the vehicles, the motorcade, which was not engaging in fire with rebel or NATO forces, was set upon by NATO forces. Witnesses to the surrender and/or safe passage negotiations will be hard to come by, since one of those murdered in his home in Sirte by Libyan rebels was reportedly the chief of the Qaddadfa tribe who was part of the negotiations for surrender and safe passage.

Reports that Qaddafi and his group were trying to make a dash through the offensive lines around Sirte make no sense since the convoy left after sun up and in broad daylight, when white flags could clearly be seen by the belligerents, and the Twitter messages out of Sirte indicated that rebels, pro-Qaddafi forces, and neutral observers could all see the white flags. If Qaddafi wanted to make a break for it, he would have done so at night with headlights out.

One of the last things Qaddafi is heard asking his captors is “Do you know right from wrong?” If the rebels or NATO reneged on a promise of safe passage and ignored the universally-recognized white flag signifying truce and surrender, it would constitute a gross violation of the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907, and would, therefore, be a war crime. Under the conventions, the white flag is protected as a sign that an approaching party intends to surrender or negotiate the terms of surrender. Those displaying a white flag may not fire or be fired upon.

If NATO and the rebels violated the white flag in Sirte, it would represent one of the first major violations of a practice that began with the Eastern Han dynasty in China in the year 25, and was recognized by the Roman Empire, armies during the Middle Ages, and every major and minor nation since. A violation by NATO of the flag of truce would represent a flagrant return to barbarism by the “collective defensive” organization.

+

Madsen does not produce the specific Twitter feeds, and such should not of themselves be considered conclusive - after all, it was the unsubstantiated "tweets" out of Paris alleging a Qadaffi massacre of protesters that got this campaign rolling in the first place. However, we did come across this tweet from the otherwise NATO-subservient Ian Pannell of the BBC that would suggest that non-recognition of the white flag of surrender was among the rules of engagement of the NTC forces...

'Wonga Coup' mercenaries fixed Gaddafi's doomed last flight

Kim Sengupta reveals an amazing escape plan that ended in the dictator's death – and in claims of treachery

An international operation to rescue Muammar Gaddafi from his besieged last refuge involved mercenaries who had taken part in the notorious "Wonga Coup" led by former SAS officer Simon Mann, The Independent has learnt.

Crause Steyl, a pilot and one-time business partner of Sir Mark Thatcher, had taken part, along with the former prime minister's son, in the failed attempt to overthrow the dictator of oil-rich Equatorial Guinea. He was asked, just after the Libyan dictator's death, to fly stranded soldiers of fortune out of a mission "which had gone badly wrong". (He declined to help.)

The private force of South Africans are said to have undertaken the task of getting Gaddafi out of the country via the convoy in the belief it had the backing of the Western powers. The men were recruited, it is claimed, by a woman of British background – whose name cannot currently be published for legal reasons – living in Kenya and working on behalf of a company in London.

However, the extraction of Gaddafi ended in ferocious violence and confusion when the convoy carrying him out of Sirte, his birthplace where he made his final stand, drove into an ambush with sustained air strikes from French warplanes and ground attacks from rebel fighters. The venture came to a bloody end, with Gaddafi tortured and killed, and some of the South Africans with him reported killed, injured and captured. This has led to recriminations and accusations of betrayal. At least some of those taking part believe that the hidden aim of those who had hired them was not to save the former Libyan leader but to deliver him into the hands of his enemies...

Danie Odendaal, one of the fighters, claimed he was with Gaddafi when the convoy was attacked. He has told South African media that three groups of South Africans were flown in to Libya via Dubai and Cairo to help the Gaddafi family under a deal done with Nato.

The plan, he said, was initially to take Gaddafi to Niger. "We all believed they [certain Western countries] wanted him out of Libya. But then Nato attacked. It was a gruesome, gruesome orgy, I think we were sold out"...

Here are a few of the more plausible reasons why he needed not only to be ousted, but murdered...

GoldStockBull (May 6 2011): Invasion of Libya was About Gaddafi's Plan to Introduce Gold Dinar

Under the guise of “protecting civilians,” the United States led NATO into Libya and is attempting to assassinate the Libyan leader. Of course, Libya happens to be the largest oil producer in Africa, but many do not realize that Gaddafi was planning to introduce the gold dinar, a single African currency that would serve as an alternative to the U.S. dollar and allow African nations to share the wealth...

Simply put, if oil-rich nations begin trading in something other than dollars it will significantly reduce demand for dollars and threaten the dollar’s role as world reserve currency. Many experts belief this would lead to the quick death of the fiat greenback, which is now backed by nothing but faith in a government that is running an annual budget deficit of over $1.5 TRILLION...

Qadaffi Snuff

The name of this web log is WxxxNews. As such, one might expect that this would be the place to go for video footage of the execution of Muammar al-Qadaffi. Sorry. Tough luck. We won't go there. Read the by-line for this site: "Web log editions shall be soft-core at best..." The video that has been issuing out of every news outlet with celebratory aplomb, from the Beeb to Fox, is of the sort that individuals found in personal possession of such would be facing criminal charges in most jurisdictions. It is a snuff film, the eagerness with which it is aired by media giants only serves to illustrate most sadly the demise of those Western values - the Rule of Law, due process, injunctions against cruel and humiliating punishment - that such organizations purport to represent. That WxxxNews is one speaking out for common decency attests how deep into the Hobbesian abyss our "civilization" has fallen. Not since the filmed, public execution by hanging of Benito Mussolini in 1945, has such a display of bestial, necrophiliac savagery been displayed. Actually, the images of Qadaffi go beyond those of Mussolini, for now we have the man stripped naked before the fatal shots are fired, and then his bloody corpse laid out for a photo-journalistic necro-feast. We will not partake in this sacrament of evil.

First, the problem...

ArXiv: The network of global corporate control

Then the reaction... Occupy Wall Street

The Occupy Wall Street movement is providing arenas for the expression of general angst against the oligarchs that can no longer denied or obfuscated by politicians and media. Having reached this point, however, it should come as no surprise that many of the 1% are "sympathizing" with the angst of the 99% - everyone from George Soros to Ben and Jerry to Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke to Viceroy Obama. They want the 99% to know that they are every bit as frustrated about the situation, even though their tax returns might indicate incomes of the upper one percentile, such as Soros and B. & J., or if they merely serve as lackeys to the former, as with Bernanke and Obama.

Now that the US is having its own "Arab Spring," the power grab is on. The crisis has got its reaction, and so everyone with an agenda is jumping into the game in an attempt to redirect the focus onto their solution. Whether its Michael Moore (another one percenter) calling for the end of capitalism or Alex Jones pushing to end the Fed, each faction will try to milk this for all its worth.

As the pitch is made by the original #Occupiers, as read by Keith Olbermann, it seems reasonable enough to the average 99 percenter...

CurrentTV: First Collective Statement of Occupy Wall Street

...which is not too much of a departure from the grievances expressed by, say, the original American revolutionaries. Yet, one thing we have noted among many on the contemporary left; they are disturbingly dismissive of basic constitutional principals - to a document regarded by them as out-dated, and as little more than a fetish to the "tea-baggers" (albeit a valid observation). There are exceptions: for instance Glenn Greenwald might be described as a constitutionally grounded progressive; but when one considers the general lack of interest from the left in the unilateral executive assassination of American citizens Awlaki and Khan (when even anti-Muslim stalwarts on the right such as Michael Savage and Glenn Beck decried it), it becomes apparent that there is a very disconcerting phenomenon occurring on the left side of the American body politic.

When they try to drown out thought process with con/sense/us chanting and when they talk about eliminating property because the super-rich have too much, remember that they would take away your property, even though you think you have not too much, and they will stifle your liberty by conning your senses, and, indeed, if it would serve the "greater good," they could take your life.
