Syria: Another Zionist War for Suckers
"If Barack Obama decides to attack the Syrian regime, he has ensured – for the very first time in history – that the United States will be on the same side as al-Qa’ida." - Robert Fisk
Syria: Another Zionist War for Suckers
|
|
Just like a broken clock, it tells correct time twice a day. Barack Hussein Obama’s promise to have Congress vote upon his Syria’s strike force plans is a first since the historic constitutional betrayal in the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution. Even the feeble attempt in The War Powers Act of 1973, to place accountability on Imperial Presidents, routinely ignored by other POTUS, struck new heights of arrogance and abuses under this infamous Nobel Peace Prize President.The War Powers Resolution, generally known as the War Powers Act, was passed by Congress over President Nixon's veto to increase congressional control over the executive branch in foreign policy matters, specifically in regard to military actions short of formally declared war. Its central provision prohibited the President from engaging in military actions for more than sixty days, unless Congress voted approval.
The key Section 1541(c) reads:The proposed authorization approval in both bodies of Congress on extending permission for unwarranted aggression against Syria promises to be the most significant vote on foreign policy in the last half century. How many false flag cons can a war weary public endure from the neoconservatives and liberal interventionists? The answer becomes clear, every measure of pain and suffering that the fifth column Zionists can extract. From Before It is News, the Hacked Email of US Intelligence Colonel Shows Pentagon’s Involvement In Chemical Attack In Syria article concludes that this documentation proves that the chemical attack was indeed a false flag operation.
James Corbett provides a compelling summary in the YouTube video, Who Is Really Behind the Syrian War? He references an even more alarming analysis of the "Oded Yinon Plan" from Global Research. Their report "Greater Israel": The Zionist Plan for the Middle East, by Michel Chossudovsky is a most significant account.
"Greater Israel" requires the breaking up of the existing Arab states into small states.The rabid sociopathic jingoism of the NeoCons is not in defense of the United States or the American people. No, their allegiance is to Zionism. The destructive foreign policy of the last four administrations is a strategic departure from post World War II objectives. Since an open debate about the harmful consequences, stemming out of a blind "It ought to be kept in mind that the post-WWII US military doctrine for the Middle East was the Eisenhower Doctrine which promoted the fomentation of stability in the region to facilitate the flow of oil to Americans. This was fine if you were safely ensconced in Houston or Dallas with your oil companies raking in profits from Middle East oil fields but for Israel this policy was disastrous. The funneling of petro-dollars to Israel’s adversaries like Saddam Hussein, who fired scud missiles at Israel in 1991, and to the likes of President Assad was intolerable. Therefore a schism in the Empire soon emerged and two distinct US-Zionist visions for the Middle East crystallized.The prevailing attitude out of Israel regarding Syria is most revealing. The Jerusalem Post reports, Israelis want US, Europe to attack Syria, but against IDF intervention."The US and European countries should attack Syria, but Israel should not be involved in the assault, two polls in weekend Hebrew newspapers found." When Congress voices their will, their true colors will show. Mournfully, most beltway tools are dual loyalists, no matter what their heritage. Just who will be making the decision? AIPAC must be burning up multi IOU’s. When representative "pols" see only white and blue in their flag and forget the red tint that stands for the sacrifice of patriotic blood on foreign soil, the country is betrayed. Mr. Blakeney continues on the danger of relinquishing a pro America First foreign policy: "The Israeli-neocon 9/11 coup d’état allowed the pro-destabilization, Zionist faction of the US elite to seize the reins of power. Since then we’ve seen the implementation of the Destabilization Doctrine, which, as stated, is the polar opposite of the less malignant post-WWII Eisenhower Doctrine. The now notorious Oded Yinon plan, authored by the Israeli geostrategic analyst in 1982, offers the clearest manifesto for the Israeli destabilization of the Middle East. Yinon argued the following:Many Americans are chumps when they think Israel is our ally. When will the anti-war progressives mount an Occupy Wall Street style effort to avoid another dangerous and avoidable involvement? Norman Solomon writing in antiwar.com warns. "The administration is about to launch a ferocious propaganda blitz that will engulf a wide range of U.S. media. And as a fallback, the president is reserving the option of attacking Syria no matter what Congress does." Pat Buchanan has it correct as usual. "The idea that we would launch unilaterally a war against a country that has not attacked us or threatened us without the authorization of the Congress, which has the power to declare war — it seems to me is an act of almost insanity." A record of indisputable conduct proves that the foreign policy establishment routinely operates against the best interests of the nation. Just how many citizens realize that the Yinon Plan is actually the operational context under which stratagem functions? It is certainly likely that the puppet president will just lie his way out of another box of his own creation. However, what is it gonna take for the public to break with the incompetent buffoon, who sits on the nuclear codes? Syria is a target for the reason Buchanan cites. "The neocons realize that if they can get us to attack Syria and there’s a real possibility that there will be retaliatory attacks on Americans or attacks on Israel which will then cause the Israelis or the Americans to attack Syria’s allies in Iran — Syria is the backdoor to war with Iran." Almost sounds like the Yinon Plan is following the script that the Zionists provided to their U.S. benefactors. SARTRE – September 2, 2013 |

A message from my Syrian friend/brother/son to me, an American. His words .....
Sorry for the delay, but i really have no good internet, and i get disconnecting every 10 minutes, so i try to spend my time to post something in the page .
and because of that, i will explain how they created the political islamic but by sending a message by message
better than before, i wrote full reply to you, then i lost my connection , lol , sorry
so, please if you don't understand some point , ask me to explain it again and again ..
well, let's start
since the life created, the greater syria ( Syria-lebanon-jordan-palestine now ) was a one country, called the Levant .
many nations and devils tried to destroy our land, to Occupies it
|why they want to occupy lavent ?
because it's the more lighting land on the earth , all the prophet blessed it , david,jesus and Mouhamad, and all the other prophets, blessed it forever .
because we have full 4 seasons , 3 months for fall,3 months for spring, 3 for summer and 4 months for winter , and you live the season the as it is , so we born smart, domesticated and powerful .
thousands years ago , we have many religions in syria , like who was pray for fire, for the thunder, for the sun ..ETC
and we were 1 nation even when we had many gods , and since that time, no one can end us , as a Syrian race .
in my City "Idleb" north syria , we have until now 2 temples for the god of rain and god of thunder , still existed until this moment .
if we are or if we were a sectarian people , those temples should be destroyed since thousands years , if we were sectarians , we wouldn't keep the oldest churches or the Jews churches . but we are not a sectarian , and not a racists too . we heard about them on TV , but we never thought we could be .
so , 1900 , there is new thing happened , this thing called " the imperialistic thought " made by france,britain, germany and Italy .
that time , all of religions were alive here , more than 40 lived together in peace .
and we have a political parties
in syria as an eastern country , as everyone have a religion , you can find all of them joining 1 political party
france occupied us for many years
and we fought them by our parties
in the front or war, france found all religions in 1 hand against them , they tried to pay for christians , because france is a christian country . but christians of syria love syria as they love jesus too , so they don't sold us
even Syrian Jews, they don't sold syria for their religion , because we in syria have something says " believe in nation " and we believe in it
our syrian morals didn't allowed to us to sell our brothers in the name of religion , it's very old faith , not a new , not created by us , it's created by our grandfathers since thousands years ago .
so, the imperialistic countries can't occupy our land if we are strong and 1 hand
they have to make a division throw the 1 nation ,
they know we love god and we love our religion , so they played in this side
by creating a religious parties , because you and me and everyone on the earth , he live his life believing in his country and his god too
so, they agreed they cant make a political division throw Syrians , then they created the religious parties to make a religious division throw the 1 nation ..
how they find this idea ?
someone called " Mohamad abdul wahab " he was a muslim , he had his own thoughts in Islam, but his thought are non-muslims , animality thoughts, a militant thoughts , he thought he could make a good business here in syria
but we kicked him out , he left to Algeria , they kicked him out too ,
the leader of Nijad " SAUDI NOW " welcomed him
Mohamad abdul wahab entered nijad by the British
british asked the leader of Nijad to keep him there , to let him share his thoughts with the people there
and gave him an idea it is " give Muhamad abdul wahab a green light to control the Muslims " and we british will leave you alone , and you can name "Nijad " to your name
the leader of Nijad ( Muhammad bin Saud ) changed the name of Nijad to " SAUDI "
read it here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_bin_Saud
and here is the story of the real devil " Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab " which take a control of Islam under british monitoring .
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_ibn_Abd_al-Wahhab
so, since that time, the imperialistic countries likes this idea, and they start to play with our faiths , and yours too
that's why there is Vatican , to control the christians , and they thought we muslims we would follow Saudi because the prophet muhamad was from there .
and that's why they created Israel , to take a control on Jews too ..
and you can find this division when you read the bible of russians , or some bible, sorry i don't know those things very well , so i just said so as example .
and you can find the real bible here , with the people which their grandfathers wrote it when they listened to Jesus .
so this is how they created the religious parties , and they improved it by the events , like in syria now , we don't have religious parties, so they asked Qaeda and Taliban and Wahhabis to come to us
to build their fucking thought here , and to let us hate each others for sectarian causes .
and as you see, we are all dying because of them , or , follow them, then they will leave you alone .
those are animals , no study, no kids, no women, no life
they take everything for free, everything is allowed for them in the name of God
they rape in the name of god
they kill ,steal money and gold in the name of god
no one can stop them , and they believe, if they die, they will go to heaven , they think all of that, really
sorry if you don't understand something, but as i told you, you can ask me again to explain it . and you can read more by using the above links and sources .
may god bless you , best regards for you and everyone there

Fluoridating Water Supplies Keeps Us Dumb, Docile, and Sick
by Paul Fassa
Several international studies to date have demonstrated that fluoride added to water is causing numerous health complications, including reduced IQ ratings among children. The notion that drinking fluoridated water contributes to healthier teeth has not been proven, and is slowing disintegrating into thin air. As a matter of fact, there is more evidence that fluoride is harmful rather than helpful
There has been controversy over the activity of adding fluoride to municipal water supplies and elsewhere, but not enough. The seriousness of this issue is more than what most realize, which is why most developed nations refuse to fluoridate their water. Actually, Israel is the latest nation to completely halt water fluoridation, mandatory and voluntary.
Fluoridation ranks with GMO’s, chemically tainted toxic foods, and vaccinations as crimes against humanity. You’ll soon see why implementing some sort of fluoride detox protocol is so important.
What is Fluoride? How did it Get in Our Drinking Water?
There are two basic types of fluoride. Calcium Fluoride appears naturally in many underground water supplies. It is relatively benign. However, too much consumed daily can lead to bone or dental problems.
Since calcium is used to counter fluoride poisoning, perhaps this aspect of calcium fluoride neutralizes much of fluoride’s toxic effects.
On the other hand, the type of fluorides added to water supplies and other beverages, foods, toothpaste products, and pharmaceuticals are waste products of the nuclear, aluminum, and now mostly the phosphate (fertilizer) industries in Florida and China.
The EPA has classified these waste products as toxins: Fluorosilicic acid, sodium silicofluoride, and sodium fluoride. I’m using the term sodium fluoride to include all three types.
Sodium fluoride is used for rat poison and pharmaceutical tranquilizers. According to a scientific study done several years ago, Comparative Toxicity of Fluorine Compounds, industrial waste sodium fluorides are 85 times more toxic than naturally occurring calcium fluoride.
Because farm animals, house pets, and crops were dying and humans becoming gravely ill from gases emitted by phosphate fertilizer plants, the EPA (when it had some teeth) forced those plants to use scrubbers or filters that removed the fluoride toxins from their smoke stack gases.
But the resulting toxic waste sludge was also banned from dumping into lots, landfills, and water streams or lakes. Containing and ridding those toxic wastes required another expense.
So the solution was to sell the governments and the public on using fluoridated water to bolster dental health. Then have municipalities pay to put it into their water supplies. That way, their toxic waste removal expense became profitable.
The Officially Ignored Health Problems
Water fluoridation advocates like to point out that toxic sodium fluoride is okay when it is generously diluted. They’re of the old school perception that if you don’t drop dead or get seriously ill immediately, it’s not toxic.
But fluoride tends to accumulate in the body’s bones and teeth. Recently, it has been discovered to accumulate even more in soft tissue such as the thyroid and pineal glands.
Dental fluorosis from daily fluoridation has been documented. Yet, the American Dental Association (ADA) continues riding a dead horse, promoting water fluoridation. They refuse to admit that instead of preventing tooth decay, fluoride causes even more dental harm.
Also, independent labs and reputable researchers have linked the following health issues with daily long term intake of sodium fluoride:
- Cancer - 10,000+ cancer cases from fluoride ingestion.
- Genetic DNA Damage
- Thyroid Disruption – Leading to obesity, lethargy, and endocrine issues
- Neurological Damage – Diminished IQ and inability to focus, docility, and weariness.
- Alzheimer’s Disease – When calcification occurs in the brain.
- Melatonin Disruption - Lowers immunity to cancer, accelerates aging, increases sleep disorders.
- Damage to Pineal Gland - Causes calcification in this gland located in the middle of the brain that governs several endocrine/hormonal functions. Some consider this gland the “third eye” or gateway to psychic powers and mystical awareness.
Conclusion:
Humans and animals should not be part of the toxic waste removal system for toxic industries. If others wish to use fluoridated toothpaste or have their dentists coat their teeth with pharmaceutical grade fluoride, both of which have lethal consequences if swallowed, that’s their business.
But forced medication that’s beyond unhealthy is our business. Over 70% of American municipalities fluoridate their water supplies. Resisting and overturning this forced medication health hazard in each city or county is important.
In the meantime, protect yourself and family by filtering your water with combined carbon and reverse osmosis filtration. If it’s impractical to install a system, take advantage of those machines that utilize both systems in food stores. They’re inexpensive. Reverse osmosis does also remove some beneficial minerals. You can add them back with trace mineral solutions or sea salt.

What is real?
To even fathom changing the world you must first venture deep inside and light the sleeping fire within. Nothing is more important than self transformation. We have to move away from an ego-driven fearful life and remediate the soul by listening to our hearts.
By exploring what you truly feel instead of what you are supposed to feel, your “inner child.” comes alive. You restore your spontaneity and integrity. Getting in touch with your true feelings and emotions will trigger heart based consciousness and ultimately lead you to transformation.
Do not be afraid to follow your dreams and drop all your fears… Remember a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
“The most adventurous journey to embark on; is the journey to yourself, the most exciting thing to discover; is who you really are, the most treasured pieces that you can find; are all the pieces of you, the most special portrait you can recognize; is the portrait of your soul.” ― C. JoyBell C.

Thousands of Genetically Modified Insects Set For Release
by Anthony Gucciardi
Just when you thought genetically modified mosquitoes and mutated dinner entrees were the extent of biotech’s hunger to manipulate the genetic coding of the planet, scientists have now unleashed a plan to launch thousands of ‘frankenfly’ style insects into the wild in order to combat pests.
And just like we saw with the release of genetically modified mosquitoes, the altered insects are actually being pushed as a ‘green alternative’ to the use of chemicals. You see, British scientists claim that mutating the genetic code of the insects is actually a way of substituting for the use of chemical pesticides. Chemical pesticides used to lower the population of olive flies in Britain. The reality here, however, is that you are taking something damaging like chemical pesticides and replacing it with something far worse.
It’s like trading in your aging car for a bicycle, except in this case the bicycle also happens to include side effects like ‘may alter the genetic structure of the entire insect population’.
According to the Daily Mail, which dubs these insects as ‘frankenflies’ (and rightfully so), the frankenflies are meant to kill the offspring of the olive flies when the genetically modified flies mate with wild olive flies:
“The trial would involve releasing genetically modified male olive flies which would mate with the wild females with the result that all the female offspring would die at the larvae or maggot stage.”
In other words, they are actually trying to mutate the genetic code to sterilize and eliminate the population of flies. So what does this mean for animals that eat these flies as a part of their routine diet ? Or how about the humans that then eat these animals, or maybe even somehow eat the flies themselves? The Daily Mail goes on to state:
“However critics fear the development could put human health at risk if people eat the flies or their larvae if they reach food products.”
It looks like this legitimate fear doesn’t seem to stop (or even affect) scientists who insist on unleashing the genetically modified frankenflies into the environment at large. Perhaps their suggestion is to not eat any animal that may have consumed the fly, any plant that may have came in contact with the fly, and to stay indoors to avoid any physical contact with anything the fly touched?
Let’s stop the mad scientist ideology of bloated biotech corporations and instead return to an age of reality and reason.

Twelve Things Happy People Do Differently
By Jacob Sokol – Sensophy
“I’d always believed that a life of quality, enjoyment, and wisdom were my human birthright and would be automatically bestowed upon me as time passed. I never suspected that I would have to learn how to live – that there were specific disciplines and ways of seeing the world I had to master before I could awaken to a simple, happy, uncomplicated life.”
-Dan Millman
Studies conducted by positivity psychologist Sonja Lyubomirsky point to 12 things happy people do differently to increase their levels of happiness. These are things that we can start doing today to feel the effects of more happiness in our lives. (Check out her book The How of Happiness
.)
.)
I want to honor and discuss each of these 12 points, because no matter what part of life’s path we’re currently traveling on, these ‘happiness habits’ will always be applicable.
1. Express gratitude. – When you appreciate what you have, what you have appreciates in value. Kinda cool right? So basically, being grateful for the goodness that is already evident in your life will bring you a deeper sense of happiness. And that’s without having to go out and buy anything. It makes sense. We’re gonna have a hard time ever being happy if we aren’t thankful for what we already have.
2. Cultivate optimism. – Winners have the ability to manufacture their own optimism. No matter what the situation, the successful diva is the chick who will always find a way to put an optimistic spin on it. She knows failure only as an opportunity to grow and learn a new lesson from life. People who think optimistically see the world as a place packed with endless opportunities, especially in trying times.
3. Avoid over-thinking and social comparison. – Comparing yourself to someone else can be poisonous. If we’re somehow ‘better’ than the person that we’re comparing ourselves to, it gives us an unhealthy sense of superiority. Our ego inflates – KABOOM – our inner Kanye West comes out! If we’re ‘worse’ than the person that we’re comparing ourselves to, we usually discredit the hard work that we’ve done and dismiss all the progress that we’ve made. What I’ve found is that the majority of the time this type of social comparison doesn’t stem from a healthy place. If you feel called to compare yourself to something, compare yourself to an earlier version of yourself.
4. Practice acts of kindness. – Performing an act of kindness releases serotonin in your brain. (Serotonin is a substance that has TREMENDOUS health benefits, including making us feel more blissful.) Selflessly helping someone is a super powerful way to feel good inside. What’s even cooler about this kindness kick is that not only will you feel better, but so will people watching the act of kindness. How extraordinary is that? Bystanders will be blessed with a release of serotonin just by watching what’s going on. A side note is that the job of most anti-depressants is to release more serotonin. Move over Pfizer, kindness is kicking ass and taking names.
5. Nurture social relationships. – The happiest people on the planet are the ones who have deep, meaningful relationships. Did you know studies show that people’s mortality rates are DOUBLED when they’re lonely? WHOA! There’s a warm fuzzy feeling that comes from having an active circle of good friends who you can share your experiences with. We feel connected and a part of something more meaningful than our lonesome existence.
6. Develop strategies for coping. – How you respond to the ‘craptastic’ moments is what shapes your character. Sometimes crap happens – it’s inevitable. Forrest Gump knows the deal. It can be hard to come up with creative solutions in the moment when manure is making its way up toward the fan. It helps to have healthy strategies for coping pre-rehearsed, on-call, and in your arsenal at your disposal.
7. Learn to forgive. – Harboring feelings of hatred is horrible for your well-being. You see, your mind doesn’t know the difference between past and present emotion. When you ‘hate’ someone, and you’re continuously thinking about it, those negative emotions are eating away at your immune system. You put yourself in a state of suckerism (technical term) and it stays with you throughout your day.
8. Increase flow experiences. – Flow is a state in which it feels like time stands still. It’s when you’re so focused on what you’re doing that you become one with the task. Action and awareness are merged. You’re not hungry, sleepy, or emotional. You’re just completely engaged in the activity that you’re doing. Nothing is distracting you or competing for your focus.
9. Savor life’s joys. – Deep happiness cannot exist without slowing down to enjoy the joy. It’s easy in a world of wild stimuli and omnipresent movement to forget to embrace life’s enjoyable experiences. When we neglect to appreciate, we rob the moment of its magic. It’s the simple things in life that can be the most rewarding if we remember to fully experience them.
10. Commit to your goals. – Being wholeheartedly dedicated to doing something comes fully-equipped with an ineffable force. Magical things start happening when we commit ourselves to doing whatever it takes to get somewhere. When you’re fully committed to doing something, you have no choice but to do that thing. Counter-intuitively, having no option – where you can’t change your mind – subconsciously makes humans happier because they know part of their purpose.
11. Practice spirituality. – When we practice spirituality or religion, we recognize that life is bigger than us. We surrender the silly idea that we are the mightiest thing ever. It enables us to connect to the source of all creation and embrace a connectedness with everything that exists. Some of the most accomplished people I know feel that they’re here doing work they’re “called to do.”
12. Take care of your body. – Taking care of your body is crucial to being the happiest person you can be. If you don’t have your physical energy in good shape, then your mental energy (your focus), your emotional energy (your feelings), and your spiritual energy (your purpose) will all be negatively affected. Did you know that studies conducted on people who were clinically depressed showed that consistent exercise raises happiness levels just as much as Zoloft? Not only that, but here’s the double whammy… Six months later, the people who participated in exercise were less likely to relapse because they had a higher sense of self-accomplishment and self-worth.

Regime Change in Libya Descends into Lawlessness and Ruin
Libyan oil production drops from 1.4 million barrels per day to less than 160,000, as tribal conflict threatens to escalate into all out civil war.
by: Aaron Dykes
As the Syrian war crisis looms, and the repercussions of putting a “rebel” mercenary army aligned with al Qaeda into power while simultaneously antagonizing Iran, Russia and other world powers waits to play out, it is important to note what has become of Libya – in many ways a twin model for regime change that nevertheless pales in comparison to the potential for ousting the Assad regime to blowback hard on the United States.
Taking out Col. Gaddafi for the cause of ‘democracy’ and ‘Western liberalism’ at the cost of putting al Qaeda-aligned “rebel” factions into power ultimately cost considerable political capital, a little over a billion dollars and the lives of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans via the Benghazi affair. Numerous civilians were killed and countless Libyans displaced, while a once modern and prosperous North African country rich in oil, gold and other resources was wrecked. Take a look at these startling photos before and after the 2011 NATO campaign:
Now Libya threatens to inflame a civil war over political control for territory and oil and prolonged factional/tribal fighting, as it descends into chaos, lawlessness and ruin.
Now Libya threatens to inflame a civil war over political control for territory and oil and prolonged factional/tribal fighting, as it descends into chaos, lawlessness and ruin.
According to the London Independent, Libya has plunged unnoticed into its worst political and economic crisis since the defeat of Gaddafi. Patrick Cockburn writes:
Libya has almost entirely stopped producing oil as the government loses control of much of the country to militia fighters.
Mutinying security men have taken over oil ports on the Mediterranean and are seeking to sell crude oil on the black market. Ali Zeidan, Libya’s Prime Minister, has threatened to “bomb from the air and the sea” any oil tanker trying to pick up the illicit oil from the oil terminal guards, who are mostly former rebels who overthrew Muammar Gaddafi and have been on strike over low pay and alleged government corruption since July.
[...]
In an escalating crisis little regarded hitherto outside the oil markets, output of Libya’s prized high-quality crude oil has plunged from 1.4 million barrels a day earlier this year to just 160,000 barrels a day now. Despite threats to use military force to retake the oil ports, the government in Tripoli has been unable to move effectively against striking guards and mutinous military units that are linked to secessionist forces in the east of the country.
Moreover, in the wake of the murder of Chris Stevens and fallout over the politics of his death, Libya has seen heightened violence and targeted assassinations, including that of military prosecutor in Libya, Col. Yussef Ali al-Asseifar, killed on August 29, who had been overseeing investigations into political assassinations against leaders and journalists.
About a month ago, some 1,000-1,200 prisoners escaped Libyan jails, coinciding with major prison breaks in Iraq and Pakistan, prompting new terror warnings and expected surges in al Qaeda forces. At the same time, at least 19 prisoners have been shot or injured in jail, with one prisoner claiming detainees were being shot at through the bars while being held without charge.
A weak Muslim Brotherhood government holds titular power while tribal groups volley for power. The Independent reports that “a war between two Libyan tribes, the Zawiya and the Wirrshifana, is going on just 15 miles from the Prime Minister’s office” while convoys for diplomats as well as embassies from Europe have been reportedly shot at or targeted. the diplomatic presence by France and other European powers has been targeted.
“We are currently witnessing the collapse of state in Libya, and the country is getting closer to local wars for oil revenues,” a Swiss oil analyst company called Petromatrix claimed in a Guardian report, while noting the “watchful eye” of BP, Shell and other major oil firms as well as shippers and other industry players, as production in the oil rich nation is nearly shut off completely.
“Production has stopped as a result of the port closures and production has reached almost zero,” Naji Mukhtar, head of the GNA’s energy committee told Reuters. The news agency also reported on the possible eruption of civil war:
Oil industry executives say Zeidan’s shaky central government risked widening violence that could descend into civil war if it uses force to recapture oilfields.
[...]
Armed groups have also threatened to close the Wafa gas field, which if shut would cause severe power shortages in the capital, an oil official told Reuters.
With Egypt in disarray, Libya collapsing, growing power for the Muslim Brotherhood and al Qaeda alike, renewed tensions in Iraq and planned action against Syria now threatening to take the whole region with it, the Arab Spring and Obama-era wave of regime change can officially be considered a failure, unconstitutional and morally reprehensible.
