Mirage fighters, F16 fighters, B-2 Stealth bombers, 15,000 NATO air sorties; The bombing of thousands of civilian targets…
Global Research's Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya reporting from Tripoli refutes the media consensus which upholds NATO's humanitarian mandate. He provides us with a review of the mass rallies directed against NATO including extensive photographic evidence.
NATO is said to be coming to the rescue of the Libyan people. That is what we are being told. Western journalists have quite deliberately distorted what is happening inside Libya. They have upheld NATO as an instrument of peace and democratization.
They have endorsed an illegal and criminal war. They are instruments of US-NATO propaganda.
It's very hard to get an accurate number of the mass of people that attended the Friday rally in support of Colonel Qaddafi in Green Square, but estimates have placed the size of the July 1st rally at one million people. Libya is a country of roughly six million citizens, so compare this rally to Washington, DC being marched upon by 58 million Americans!
The rallies have been taking place almost weekly in Tripoli and other Libyan cities, including Sabha on July 8, 2011. Western public opinion has been misinformed. People in Europe and North America are not even aware that these mass rallies have taken place.
The rallies express the Libyan people's firm opposition to NATO's “humanitarian” intervention (“on behalf of the Libyan people”).
The large majority of the population are opposed to the Benghazi-based Transitional Council (made up of Western banking friends, al-Qaeda members funded by Western intelligence and Libyan “rebels.”)
The rallies also indicate significant popular support for Colonel Qaddafi in contrast to the usual stereotypical descriptions in the Western media.
The mainstream media has either casually dismissed the significance of these public gatherings directed against NATO intervention or has failed to even report them.
Hayden's Note:
It's important to note that the United States and NATO have now “recognized” the “Libyan rebels” (supposedly the People) and can now legally unfreeze Gaddafi's billions of dollars for use in this war, can seize control of the nation's oil supply and exports to Italy, setup a central bank and take over the once-sovereign country. See here for more on this: US Formally Recognizes Libya Rebels.
If you'll recall, even the “commander of the rebels” stated that some of them were of al-Qaeda origin and had been fighting on the frontlines in Iraq against the US invasion. The very same people we are supposedly killing nearby in Afghanistan and Pakistan, as well. But… we're funding them (for the 3rd time) a few miles away in Africa and recognizing them as the new rulers of Libya? Hmmm.
These rallies continue late into the night. The following are pictures of Libyans converging on Green Square on July 1, 2011.
These pictures also show that the mainstream media was present and aware of these rallies. So what is preventing them from reporting the truth? Why are some of these journalists claiming that only a few thousand people attended?
It is important to note that the pictures were taken at the outset of the event.
Libyans headed throughout the day into the night towards Green Square. Highways and roads leading towards Green Square were packed.
