Eyewitnesses dismiss 'rebel' advances on Tripoli as misinformation

fuckyeahmarxismleninism:

Reports of tracer bullets and explosions over the Libyan capital have sparked rumours of the imminent defeat of Colonel Gaddafi and his regime. However, it turns out the shots were fired in celebration at a victory for Gaddafi loyalists.

On Saturday evening, rounds were fired close to a hotel hosting foreign journalists. Explosions were also heard in the area as NATO aircraft carried out heavy bombing runs after nightfall, the Associated Press reported.

Rebels were reported to be fighting in the city’s Tajoura neighbourhood, as well as near Tripoli’s international airport. There have been reports that fighting also broke out in the neighborhoods of Soug Jomaa and Arada in the east. The NATO-backed rebels in Libya claimed that a battle for the capital Tripoli could unfold by the end of the month, as they have now taken control of key cities around the Gaddafi stronghold.

However, all these reports have proven false.

The director of Americans for Middle East Peace, Dr Franklin Lamb, who is in Tripoli right now, informed RT that reports of the rebels having entered Tripoli are nonsense, though sporadic gunfire is indeed being heard from time to time.

According to Dr Lamb, the real danger is posed by NATO planes that drop bombs and fire missiles at the city hourly. 

Independent journalist Lizzie Phelan says the reports are an effort by NATO to create panic.

“The only gunfire that we are hearing is celebratory gunfire,” she said. “And the only explosions that we are hearing are NATO air strikes or NATO sound bombs, which are clearly designed to create a sense of panic in the capital city of Tripoli.”

Phelan said that the Libyan rebels created fake footage of themselves in Zawiya and Tripoli, and were aided in disseminating the footage by, among other media outlets, Al Jazeera. The Qatar-based satellite television station, she argued, has been at the center of the media conspiracy against Libya. The Western mainstream media, she continued, in turn picked up these reports and repeated them, creating a sense of panic among the Libyan people.

On Aug. 13, 2011, the 50th anniversary of the erection of the Berlin Wall, this article was the front-page lead in the daily newspaper, Junge Welt; the translator, John Catalinotto, thought it should be shared with non-German readers.

Che Guevara did not exist to be appropriated by liberals with a rebellious streak. There is one extremely overused quote by Che that has been bothering me lately:

“Let me say at the risk of seeming ridiculous that the true revolutionary is guided by great feelings of love.”

Yes, Che did say that. And it’s completely true. But here’s the problem: Che also stated that we should have cold-blooded hatred toward our enemies and that we should be killing machines in the fight for liberation. That may be somewhat of an overstatement from him, but I’m getting kind of annoyed by folks that try to twist Che Guevara into some Gandhi-like figure who used weapons but really didn’t want to, who thought love could save the world, who can be turned into a symbol of nonviolent struggle. Wrong.

Che was a communist revolutionary. He was a guerrilla commander. He hated oppressors. He executed war criminals. If you’re not okay with these things, don’t selectively quote Che.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying don’t use the aforementioned quote. I’m just saying that it shouldn’t be used by proponents of nonviolence to legitimize strategic (rather than tactical) nonviolence.

That’s all I have to say about that.
