The Unspontaneous Libyan Revolution
Qadhafi will be held accountable even if he steps down: U.S. ... In a clear message to Muammar Qadhafi and his aides, the U.S. has said they would be held accountable for human rights violations against their own people, even if the Libyan leader leaves the country, putting an end to his over four-decade long regime. "We want to see Qadhafi step down, and one would infer that in stepping down it is probably best for him to leave the country, to allow a different government to emerge. Any departure from Libya does not exempt him, his family, or others from responsibility and accountability for what has occurred," State Department spokesman P. J. Crowley told reporters at his daily news conference. – Reuters
Dominant Social Theme: Where do all these spontaneous revolutions come from? Is it something in the water?
Free-Market Analysis: The United States and its allies do not want to get involved outright in Libyan warfare, or so we are told, but as we can see from the above article excerpt, the administration has plans for Colonel Qaddafi. Of course, if we peer beneath the surface, we find that the US (and its allies) are far more involved in the Libya "revolution" than it seems on the surface. In this article, we will examine US and Western involvement in the Libyan uprising – much as we have already examined participation in Egypt and Tunisa.
What is the evidence for US involvement in the overthrow of the Libyan dictator? When one lifts the curtain, an obvious portrait of involvement emerges. Pictures, for instance, have emerged of "rebels" carrying "EnoughGaddafi.com" signs. The webmaster of "EnoughGaddafi" is listed as Movements.org – and Movements.org is the network supporting the larger youth movement, with State Department encouragement.
We have written about the Alliance for Youth Movements' worldwide network – a US sponsored organization of vast proportion. Using Internet technology and organizing "youth," the US (and its vast network of intelligence operatives and mercenaries) has successfully destabilized numerous developing countries around the world and actually succeeded in creating regime change in two of them. Doubtless there will be more.
www.thedailybell.com/1800/Protests-Are-a-Force-of-Nature.html
"EnoughGaddafi" material (which can be seen on Twitter) is also archived via Ibrahim Sahad's NFSL site (National Front for the Salvation of Libya). The NFSL, run by Sahad, is apparently headquartered in Washington DC and Sahad, a former captain in the Libyan army, has been making appearances from Washington where he is providing strategic guidance to the revolution. Tony Cartalucci at Land Destroyer wrote a ground-breaking article on Sahad's alliance with the US and pointed out the following:
The Sahad's NCLO began organizing the February 17th "Day of Rage" right on cue as Egypt fell so the mainstream media apparatus could swing around and put the focus on Libya. Conveniently, the media needs only move from Cairo to Egypt's western border and wait for Sahad's men on the ground to secure them a base of operations, presumably in Libya's eastern city of Benghazi. Qaddafi apparently understands the role of NGOs and the foreign media, which is why they are not in the streets of Libya's cities, and coverage has been admittedly daunting.
The pattern repeats itself. Beginning with Tunisa, and then most evidently in Egypt and now Libya, the US and its allies are firmly, tenaciously, in charge of the revolutionary process. The arrogance is breathtaking as is the cynicism. Around the world, staunch US allies – many of them dictators and murderers to be sure – now tremble at the thought that what just happened in Egypt and Tunisia may be visited upon them as well. It used to pay rather well to be a US ally. Not anymore. Hosni Mubarak's fate in particular may be troubling to erstwhile US allies, as Mubarak was as staunch a "friend" of the US and Israel as existed in the Middle East. Yet his regime was very obviously targeted by the same forces that are now at work in Libya.
This is very much an operation of the Anglosphere located primarily in the City of London, Washington DC and the Vatican – three "special cities" that are actually countries unto themselves. Those who see the fine hand of Israel and "Jews" behind all these disruptions will have to explain the dismay of Israel's leaders at the fall of Mubarak. Here's the beginning of a Reuter's story that appeared in late February:
Israel shocked by Obama's "betrayal" of Mubarak ... If Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak is toppled, Israel will lose one of its very few friends in a hostile neighborhood and President Barack Obama will bear a large share of the blame, Israeli pundits said on Monday. Political commentators expressed shock at how the United States as well as its major European allies appeared to be ready to dump a staunch strategic ally of three decades ... Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has told ministers of the Jewish state to make no comment on the political cliffhanger in Cairo, to avoid inflaming an already explosive situation. But Israel's President Shimon Peres is not a minister. "We always have had and still have great respect for President Mubarak," he said on Monday. He then switched to the past tense. "I don't say everything that he did was right, but he did one thing which all of us are thankful to him for: he kept the peace in the Middle East."
Israel is a tool of the Anglo-American elite; the Mossad is a kind of "enforcer" (along with MI6 and the CIA), conveniently placed at the heart of the Middle East from whence all sorts of mischief can emerge and chaos can be fomented. It is apparently a kind of fiefdom of the Rothschild family, which personally paid the bills for the construction of the Knesset and the eerie Supreme Court building with all its Illuminati symbolism. Of course the Rothschild's were instrumental in the creation of Israel before and after World War II, and also helped devise various plans to frighten Jews into "returning" to Israel.
The Rothschilds it should be noted have a strong base of operations in Britain, specifically in the City of London where the strategic braintrust of the New World Order is located. It is run like a mafia family, with the Rothschilds choosing to work with other Jews just as the Italian mafia works with other Italians. The Rothschild's operations are apparently worldwide and the money that the Rothschild's and others control via central banking is virtually limitless.
From this nexus of investment and banking families has spread the plague of mercantilist central banking, which now afflicts the globe. Not content with the ruinous centralization of central banking, the Rothschild's, their allies and intelligence operatives have apparently launched a global attack on developing countries. Libya is just the latest country to receive the "treatment." Even the orchestration is deliberate, with each country falling in line, like dominoes, no two at once to ensure maximum media coverage.
America, like Israel – though to a much greater degree – is the muscular enforcer for the City of London braintrust. There is, in fact, no doubt about American involvement in orchestrating the Libyan revolution, right down to the shiny new flags that were unfurled for the cameras – red-and-green flags of a pre-revolutionary Libya that have now conveniently found their way onto flagpoles of Libyan embassies around the world. The 'flag-change' initiative was taken by the Libyan Human Rights League – another group that "spontaneously" formed in 2005 at the same time as Sahad's NFSL.
There is much hand-wringing currently in the mainstream media about how involved the US and its allies ought to get in the Libyan revolution. We would suggest that the West is already fully involved and that there are likely intelligence agents and Western mercenaries on the ground in Libya helping organize the rebels' military campaigns. While it is no doubt true that the rebels are composed of average Libyan citizens along with many deserters from the Libyan army, it is likely just as true that the groundwork for the Libyan revolution was laid well in advance – organized by the West in the same manner as the other revolutions now taking place.
These are meticulously planned events. No doubt Sahad and his allies constitute a leadership in waiting and he will fly back to Libya at the proper time. Gaddafi has proven to be a much tougher nut to crack than Mubarak or Ben Ali, and thus his emergence onto the world stage may have been put off for a while. But there is little doubt that Gaddafi's days are numbered. There is an army on the ground and it will be buttressed one way or another with Western resources.
Conclusion: The eventual triumph of this latest revolution, when it comes, will be hailed by the Western mainstream media as another miraculous uprising of oppressed people. There is no doubt of the heroism of those Libyans fighting and dying to free their country. But that is obviously not the whole story. And whether the West can maintain control of these revolutions, or whether many will emerge as Islamic republics is an open question. Presumably those helping with the orchestration do not care. (Perhaps they will in a sense control the Islamic republics as well.) Additional Islamic republics only buttress Western authoritarianism at home and provide the pretext for further domestic oppression.

I found the article illuminating because it analyses the historical context of the conflict. The elites have of course exploited these internal tensions for their own ends as you have made clear. They never operate in a vacuum.
After reading this piece it is easy to see why Gaddafi is a threat to their plans. He sees Africa as his home believes it can have a future divorced completely from its colonial past and he does not wish to be subservient to the EU or the US. The summing up at the end perhaps says it all:
"Let?s get it right: The battle in Libya is not about peaceful protestors versus an armed and hostile State. All sides are heavily armed and hostile. The battle being waged in Libya is essentially a battle between those who want to see a united and liberated Libya and Africa, free of neo-colonialism and neo-liberal capitalism and free to construct their own system of governance compatible with the African and Arab personalities and cultures and those who find this entire notion repugnant.
And both sides are willing to pay the ultimate price to defend their positions. Make no mistake, if Qaddafi and the Libyan revolution are defeated by this opportunistic conglomerate of reactionaries and racists, then progressive forces worldwide and the Pan African project will suffer a huge defeat and set back."
Whether one agrees with the author's political ideology or not he has provided a piece of the puzzle that makes sense and fits the overall picture of what is happening.

You believe that there is no Western involvement in the Libya uprising? We find that hard to believe, given Egypt and Tunisia.

@Summer:
Many thanks for the link---quality work, on a line of analysis with which I am familiar. I am grateful.
However, it lacks (so far as I can tell) any help for seeing the role specifically of "the Vatican" in all this. And that was the point of my inquiry.

It does not become any better.
Nato troops 'kill Afghan president's cousin'
Hamid Karzai and Nato launch separate investigations as nighttime shooting points towards potential intelligence failure
Jon Boone in Kabul
Click to view link, Thursday 10 March 2011 13.53 GMT
The Afghan president, Hamid Karzai has been ratcheting up his criticism of Nato-led troops for killing civilians.
A furious row between Nato-led forces and the Afghan president over the killing of civilians looks set to turn into a full-blown crisis after an elderly cousin of Hamid Karzai was killed during a botched Nato operation.
Officials in the southern province of Kandahar confirmed that Haji Yar Mohammad Karzai, a second cousin of the president, was accidentally shot during an overnight operation in the family village of Karz.
Senior tribal leaders, including Karzai's powerful brother Ahmed Wali Karzai, had gathered for the funeral in keeping with the Islamic tradition of burying the dead within 24 hours.
Athough details are scarce, it appears that a major intelligence failure could have been responsible for the deaths after Nato's International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) issued a statement correcting an earlier press release that had claimed a man killed in operations in the area was the father of a Taliban leader.
The original statement said the Taliban leader was being targeted for distributing materials to make car bombs that were being used throughout Kandahar province. It said soldiers had approached a compound and called for all the people inside to come out so they and the building could be searched.
The new statement said the coalition was "now aware of conflicting reports about the identities of those involved" and an inquiry had been launched.
Karzai's spokesman, Waheed Omar, said the president had ordered an immediate investigation by Afghan security forces.
"Like always with any other civilian casualty the president was saddened because he takes the loss of life extremely seriously," Omar said.
Details of what happened are still unclear, although one senior member of the Alokozai tribe, who attended the funeral, said the attack took place at some point after midnight and American soldiers were responsible.
"There were many tanks that came and surrounded the house, but they did not attack any other building," said Haji Padshah. "The Americans then went in, brought out Haji Mohammad and shot him."
Ahmadullah Nazak, district chief of the area, said two of his bodyguards and a neighbour were arrested in the operation.
"We don't know why the operation was carried out in his village, whether he [Karzai's cousin] was aimed at or somebody else. He was an old man at the age of 60, he had no official job," Nazak said.
Mahmoud Karzai, another of the president's brothers, said the killing was a "shocking development" and he could not understand why Nato forces would be hunting for insurgents in Karz, which is in the relatively peaceful district of Dand, not far from Kandahar City.
"Karz is our stronghold, there are absolutely no Taliban there and there never will be," Mahmoud Karzai told the Guardian.
He said he "smelled a very deep conspiracy" behind the episode, possibly involving a family feud within the Karzai clan that goes back to the jihad period of the 1980s.
"If this is a deliberate setup where the US military is being given false information to settle a personal vendetta then this is very serious," he said. "I hope there is a full investigation."
He said the president was not close to his cousin. Nonetheless, the murder of a relative in a country where family and tribe is all-important is likely to stoke government rage at Nato blunders.
The timing of the incident is especially unfortunate as Karzai has been ratcheting up his criticism of the Nato-led coalition for killing civilians, particularly after nine boys were killed recently when an attack helicopter mistook them for insurgents.
He even rejected an apology made by General David Petraeus, commander of Nato and US forces in Afghanistan, after the incident with the nine boys.

Just a clarification:
"Governments seem to be emboldened by their failures." What the late Gen. William E. Odom trenchantly described as "the worst strategic disaster in American military history" ‒ the invasion of Iraq ‒ is being followed up by a far larger military operation, one that will burden us for many years to come."
Gen. William E. Odom was a four-star general and a former boss of NSA. He also was the most respected consultant to the US military/industrial complex Sr. executives.

"The Vatican as part of the one-world conspiracy? Just Google Vatican/Black Church/New World Order, etc."
Thanks for the tip--I followed your advice, and the first eight or ten sites I checked were not very impressive--a lot of breathless claims, with little or no substantiation. The claims, for instance, that the Pope is behind Freemasonry, for one thing, and the Rothschilds, for another, seem wildly counter-intuitive. Yet I saw no serious research or analysis. Is there something more serious and substantive available?
I am as willing as the next guy to imagine that "things are not as they seem", but it takes more than assertion to persuade.
Thanks again.

@ Bob
So you are saying:
_Someone's past crimes should not be taken into account when judging what they may do.
_That because they've had failures means their not 'at it' again.
_That because colour revolutions have been staged in the past doesn't mean they are being now (contrary to implicating links mentioned in the article).
_That actually these poor naive idiots have no business experience, that's why policies are leading to economies going down the toilet.
_That actually although they are like engineers designing cars they haven't driven the car, that's why they are so ignorant of how the car works and what will happen if it has no brakes.
_That just because the political, media and educational hierarchies are massively infiltrated with Zionists doesn't mean they will accomplish their aims! (ok, so what else would require to at least try?)
I see, so this is the basis of dismissing their influence? And you call that an argument, based on what? A few shoddy bits of almost irrelevant information and then you dismiss their potential sphere of 'control' as ludicrous? I know what's ludicrous!
And its not about hating Jews before someone spins that one. There are of course good Jewish people, it is the Zionist Jews that are the cause of so many problems, akin to the extremist Muslims. In the former case it's much worse because they comprise a huge element within the elites and have massive policy manipulating power. I am simply calling a 'spade a spade'. If people don't have the courage to speak the truth then what's the point of constantly explaining the problem and not the roots of it?

this material convinced me of what the DB has been stating over and over. It will complement the today's article and will reinforce with a little bit of history. I have to point out that many people have found this blog racist or anti-Semite. Nonetheless, the content is relevant as today's events. Along the first clip, a second clip will go over the origin of the Wahhabism in ME, which interlink the West-Zionists- with the ME- Saudi Arabia-.

The initiation of Congressional hearings on Islamic terrorism by New York Republican Rep. Peter King has raised the specter that he is today's Joe McCarthy. King says the focus on the Islamic community is appropriate because Islamic terrorism is the primary threat facing the U.S.

What if these hearings are being staged to keep the question of Muslim motives in the Western media forefront, and thus support elite military motives to deal with growing Muslim uprisings in the Middle East? Food for thought.

Of course, the US embrace is a kiss of death. Islamic revolution needs to exhibit full independence from the Great and Little Satans if it is to have any popular credibility (within its target constituency).
From the US side, it's the "we don't have the courage it do it ourselves" bit. But how does any of that affect Perle's point -- that Saudi Arabia is being positioned by PE insiders as the natural conduit for intervention in the color revolutions, resulting in an inevitable Wahhabi slant?
Perle presents this as a bug. Perhaps it's a feature.

Posted by Vauung on 03/10/11 01:03 AM
Richard Perle and DB don't always see exactly eye-to-eye. However -- with some reading between the lines -- this Perle remark is quite interesting:
"We helped the Mujahideen defeat the Soviets in Afghanistan, but we allowed the Pakistanis and the Saudis to decide who would be armed. Of course they armed the Islamist groups they wished to promote'and we got the Taliban. Now the administration is said to be debating whether to ask the Saudis to send weapons to the rebels [in Libya] -' because we don't have the courage it do it ourselves. Guess who will wind up running Libya? "

Are the Saudis still on-board the Illuminati plans for a new ME, even though they're about to get torched? Maybe not just on-board, then -- maybe deep inside?

The Saudis just yesterday warned the US not to interfere in internal affairs.
