You are bombing the wall that stopped African migration into Europe. This wall stopped the terrorists from al-Qaeda. This wall was Libya. You are destroying it, you fools. For the many thousands of migrants from Africa, for your support of al-Qaeda, you will burn in hell. This is how it will be. Narrator: Until 1968, Libya was a monarchy. Seventy percent (70%) of the population lived below the poverty line. Many were illiterate and lived in simple nomadic tents. It was a typically underdeveloped African country. Gaddafi provided the Libyans with the kind of life that made the rest of the dark continent envious. Out of the desert arose the 'Eight Wonder of the World' - the Great Man-Made River (the world's largest irrigation project). Interview Subject (Male) c. 0:50: He was able to create a system of irrigation throughout the desert, through an underground pipe network. Interview Subject (Female) c. 0:57: Factories and enterprises began operating throughout Libya, none of which were there before. Narrator: Not having paid a single Dinar, Libyans moved from tents into apartment blocks. 'Rent' did not exist. Everything, including utilities and power, was covered by the government. Interview Subject (Male, elderly) c. 1:17: If we were to compare the way cities, such as Tripoli, looked before he came to power and after, you would see that it went from an ugly village to a city with high-rises, 30 years later. So you want to get married? The government would give newly-wed couples USD$64,000 towards buying a home and USD$7,000 towards each child born. You want a car? The government will cover 50% of the cost. Petrol in Libya used to be cheaper than water: 3 cents per litre. Interview Subject (Male) c. 17:03: Minimum wages were in the thousands of dollars, education abroad was paid for by the state, and cases where medical surgeries needed to be carried out outside of Libya, the state covered that, too. Narrator: "But to bring lasting peace of Libya would be impossible: this land will forever be torn apart by the leaders of these various tribes." "They can't and don't want to be ruled by a single person." That's what the leaders of the superpowers said in the 1970s Colonel Gaddafi surprised everyone. He unified 140 tribes into one country. Each one of these tribes had their own leader (Sheik). The option for Gadddafi was to either "scare them to death" or to buy them. Gaddafi preferred the latter. He promised them a heavenly existence, and he delivered on his words. Cuts to Gaddafi: We have oil: this is what will unite us. Narrator: Oil is the reason that Libya stayed as one country. Gaddafi nationalised the oil producing industry. He promised that the huge profits would be fairly distributed across the entire country. All Libyans began to receive their share of Libyan oil trade. Interview Subject (Male) c. 3:07: When the people can see that a certain leader is raising the standard of living, of course he will have a lot of support. Narrator: Gaddafi kicked out the foreigners. He closed the US and British military bases. He confiscated property from local Italians, the offspring of the colonisers. Then he moved onto the culture. He changed the calender, including the names of the months, and counting the years now from the birth of the Prophet Mohammed. He reviewed all the laws in Libya, to be in accordance with Sharia Law. Alcohol and gambling became illegal. Gaddafi considered himself to principal fighter for the interests of his people. Placing hand-picked personnel amidst high ranking roles, and being in full control of the country, Gaddafi refused any kind of title for himself. Having consolidated immense power, he only ever referred to himself as the 'servant of the people'. Interview Subject (Male) c. 4:08: "I'm just your 'brother of a leader', or a "brother of a ruler" - or sometimes he would title himself anything at all. Narrator: He considered Islam to be the highest form of moral authority; he did not drink any alcohol, which is forbidden by the Koran. He didn't even drink tea or coffee and kept his food very simple. But Libya was only getting richer. The huge oil revenues allowed Gaddafi to have Napoleonic plans.  source He stated that the Gulf of Sidra, in the Mediterranean Sea, is Libya's territorial waters, and vowed to take out any ship or aircraft that trespass "the line of death". Ronald Reagan called him the "wild dog of the Middle East" and he ordered the bombing of Tripoli and Benghazi. America’s Planned Nuclear Attack on Libya By Prof Michel Chossudovsky Global Research, March 30, 2011 30 March 2011 http://www.globalresearch.ca/america-s-planned-nuclear-attack-on-libya/24049?print=1 "... planned attack on Libya using nuclear weapons, had been contemplated by the Clinton Administration in 1996, at the height of the Monica Lewinsky scandal" The US military operation El Dorado Canyon (1986) lasted 11 minutes. Around 100 aircraft dropped 150 tonnes of bombs over Libya. It's target was Gaddafi's residence and military bases, but many innocent Libyans perished. The little country, where people were sleepy [from too much eating (Russian reference, likely to docile Libyans due to prosperity)] was shocked. Gaddafi survived. Killing him would prove more challenging. Russian news announcement [potentially] / male voice (c. 5:31): "Americans failed in their mission" said Mikhail Gorbachev, in a message to Muammar Gaddafi. Narrator: The Colonel quickly understood that Western media will never write about the positive aspects of his country: the building of infrastructure and roads, the growing birth rate, and free medical care. Journalists like a show and he continually tried to grab their attention for interesting publications. Interview Subject (Male) c. 5:56: He became more and more creative. He did strange things, and worse some interesting clothing, accompanied by battalions of security. Narrator: His whole life, he wrote philosophy, in what he termed his 'green book'. Essential, he wrote a bible for the Libyan people in which he said that neither Communism nor Capitalism was suited to Libya. "Communism is a rejection of God, and Capitalism is a rejection of the human." There must be a third option. Interview Subject (Male, elderly) c. 6:30: "Democracy is a sham. Representation is a sham. Political parties are a sham. Parliament is a sham. He considered that democracy is only an illusion of "the rule by the people." Simply an illusion. So he introduced the model of the Soviet Union - the 'soviet' [council] is where the power is." Narrator: In 1992, the UN Security Council imposed sanctions against Libya. Libya's ability to sell oil ceased, and assets were frozen. How to win back the business of the international community? Gaddafi would consider it for 10 years. He decided to buy it. Interview Subject (Male) c. 7:10: I met with him in 2007 or 2008, during the world financial crisis, and I remember the last thing he said to me. He said "I only made one mistake, and that was trusting the Americans and the Westerners." Narrator: Condoleezza Rice, Tony Blair, and Nicolas Sarkozy convinced Gaddafi to wrap up all his military programs in return for their loyalty [to buying oil]. They said: give up your [military] programs, and you will become a full member of the 'international community'. Having been ostracised for so long, Gaddafi agreed. In 2013, Sadam Hussien was tried [by kangaroo court and executed], demonstrating to Gaddafi, once again, that it is best not to be on bad terms with the West. Interview Subject (Male) c. 7:58: In 2010, he was hugging Obama and calling him his closest ally and friend; he loaned Sarkozy money. Narrator: Sarkozy approached the Libyan government when he was a Minsister of Internal Affairs. He needed money for his election campaign. It was Libya's money that helped Sarkozy become President. ` Interview Subject (Male) c. 8:18: Gaddafi gave Sarkozy a lot of money, both to the cause and in his own pocket. And not just to Sarkozy, but other EU leaders such as Berlusconi. He paid Germany and Britain, too. Narrator: Gaddafi devoted himself to the intrigues on the international arena, but within his own country he feared no one. He knew that his people loved him, and it was true - they continued to show love for him, but it only added to his supposition of being irreplaceable. Cuts to vieled elderly female: "I am ready to put down my life for Muammar Gaddafi: he is a symbol of emancipation from the colonisers for every Libyan!" Interview Subject (Male) c. 8:56: Meanwhile, the tribes began to segregate, living their own ways and traditions. Even though Gaddafi continued to feed them, clothe them and arm them, and they appeared to be loyal to him, that loyalty wore thin. Narrator: In December 2010, the entire region became engulfed by protests and demonstrators. People became tired of poverty, the rife corruption that was taking place amongst officials, as well as lawlessness and hopelessness of their countries. The 'Arab Spring' had arrived, complete with chaos, and flowing rivers of blood. Opposition rebels got control of Eastern Libya in a number of days. Gaddafi was in Western Libya at the time. He was assured that he could dispel the uprising. Gaddafi audio: "Prepare to defend Libya! They wanted a war; they will have a war!" Narrator: We are close to victory, but to speed it along, I'm ready to open up the military arsenals and private all of Libya's true patriots with weapons!" At first, Gaddafi said they are just groups of drug addicts who are attacking police officers and stealing their weapons. But he quickly realised, this smells like a government coup. And there is nobody to defend him: he himself had vastly reduced his armed forces. Interview Subject (Male elderly) c. 10:14: The first one to act was Sarkozy: he unleashed the French airforce. Narrator: After the fall of Tripoli, Gaddafi remained in control of only 2 cities, around which brutal battles waged. There were more and more casualties. Interview Subject (Female) c. 10:30: The West, of course, tricked Gaddafi. He never expected this. It was a real knife in the back situation. It isn't even clear why they did this - why was this war necessary? Muammar Gaddafi was himself doing everything that they asked for. They killed him in a very humiliating way; as a personality, as a man, as a soldier, as a ruler, as a leader. Interview Subject (Female, floral dress) c. 10:59: This version of events will never be relayed in Western media, because it is obviously embarrassing to the dignity of their own countries. They maintain that Libyans did this to Gaddafi because they are savage, unenlightened beings. Narrator: Never has the death of a human being caused such over-abundance of Joy. Thousands of people rejoiced, who once loved Gaddafi. Hillary Clinton said "Woooow" when she heard the news. The US Ambassador to Libya took a picture next to the dictator's body, with his thumbs up. Interview Subject (Male) c. 11:41: Libya got rid of Gaddafi and Gaddafi's family. The got rid of 'the green book' and the green flag. They gained the absence of a unitary state, no governance structures, a permanent civil war and basically everything that the average 'revolutionary' never imagined. 12:13 - Very disturbing footage of bloodied Gaddafi surrounded by rabble, gunfire, screaming, poor audio, photographs being taken of bloodied and confused Gaddafi on what appears to be back of truck; disturbing high pitched noise like ongoing screaming and gunshots fired, possibly from automatic weapons. Vladimir Putin [13:05]: And my final comment, Mr McCain, as is known, is a Vietnam veteran. I would assume his hands are elbow deep in civilian blood. It appears he just cannot get by without repeated scenese that are atrocious to us, of the murder of Gaddafi. On TV screens around the world, we were shown his murder, where he was drenched in blood. Is this what you call democracy? How did they do it? Using drones, they delivered a blow to his battalion, and then over the radio to special forces - which shouldn't have been on the territory - they brought in a camera crew, as well as opposition rebels. And they murdered him without a trace or trial. If he was captured, it should have been left up to the people to decide his fate via democratic methods. Yes, it's difficult and it takes time, but nothing else is acceptable. RT News Interview (Male) c. 13:59 Bill Dod: "Colonel Gaddafi told Tony Blair that Jihadists would control the Mediterranean and attack Europe if his regime was allowed to collapse. The warning was revealed in released transcripts of telephone conversations between the two leaders from February 2011" Transcript: There are ARMED GANGS who have weapons. Not decided to face them with force, asking their families to convince them to lay down arms. You can't reason with them. They keep saying things like Mohammed is the prophet. Similar to bin Laden. They are paving the way for him in North Africa. They want to control the Mediterranean and then they will attack Europe. Need to explain to the 'international community'. Gaddafi's prediction was made in two desperate telephone calls with Blair as the civil war was engulfing Libya. Three weeks later, a NATO-led coalition that included Britain, began bombing raids that led to the overthrow and eventual killing of Gaddafi. ISIL now controls large parts of Libya. Vladimir Putin [15:01]: Putin on Libya Valdai Discussion Club 2014 Look at Libya and what you did there, that got your Ambassador murdered. Was it us that did this? You even had a Security Council decision for this; to establish a no-fly zone. What for? it was so that Gaddafi's airforce couldn't fly over and bomb the rebels. This wasn't the smartest decision. But, OK ... What did you proceed to do yourselves? You started bombing the territory. This is in clear contravention of the Security Council resolution. It is even outright aggression over a state. Was it us that did this? You did this with your bare hands. And it ended with the murder of your Ambassador. Whose fault is it? It's your fault. Is it a good result that your Ambassador was murdered? It is actually a terrible catastrophe. But do not look around for somebody to blame, when it is you making these mistakes. You must do the opposite; rise above the endless desire to dominate. You must stop acting out of imperialist ambitions. Do not poison the consciousness of millions of people; that there can be no other way but imperialistic politics. --- COMMENT --- Зачем? Zachem? 'what for?' (sounds like 'Ch'om) / possibly the contracted version? COMMENT That was a very good documentary. I didn't know that the US Ambassador that was eventually killed in Benghazi had been photographed with a thumbs-up over Gaddafi's mutilated corpse. What the capitalists have done to Libya is shocking. Lessons here: 1.  Do not trust capitalists. 2.  Do not disarm or wind down military. 3.  Rule by fear and brutal force may work better than generosity. What kind of fools receive everything they need for nothing and then take down the government that provides them with freebies that are unheard of anywhere else, to destroy their country and install rule by foreign capitalism that will mercilessly exploit Libya and the Libyan people? I can't believe it. Next time a Jihadi ploughs into a French crowd, I'll be thinking it is the French capitalists that are driving the bus. What the capitalists of Europe, Britain and the US are doing abroad is disgusting. What is even more shocking and astounding to me is that they simultaneously destroy all European societies and nobody objects.

Anatomy of US-Anglo & Franco 'Responsibility to Protect' Lies - Destruction of the Libyan State

Article SOURCE http://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2016/01/06/new-hillary-emails-reveal-true-motive-for-libya-intervention/ Anatomy of US-Anglo & Franco 'Responsibility to Protect' Lies - Destruction of the Libyan State http://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2016/01/06/new-hillary-emails-reveal-true-motive-for-libya-intervention/ Hillary Emails Reveal True Motive for Libya Intervention by Brad Hoff       January 6, 2016   Newly disclosed emails show that Libya’s plan to create a gold-backed currency to compete with the euro and dollar was a motive for NATO’s intervention The New Year’s Eve release of over 3,000 new Hillary Clinton emails from the State Department has CNN abuzz over gossipy text messages, the “who gets to ride with Hillary” selection process set up by her staff, and how a “cute” Hillary photo fared on Facebook. But historians of the 2011 NATO war in Libya will be sure to notice a few of the truly explosive confirmations contained in the new emails: admissions of rebel war crimes, special ops trainers inside Libya from nearly the start of protests, Al Qaeda embedded in the U.S. backed opposition, Western nations jockeying for access to Libyan oil, the nefarious origins of the absurd Viagra mass rape claim, and concern over Gaddafi’s gold and silver reserves threatening European currency. Hillary’s Death Squads A March 27, 2011, intelligence brief [archived here] on Libya, sent by long time close adviser to the Clintons and Hillary’s unofficial intelligence gatherer, Sidney Blumenthal, contains clear evidence of war crimes on the  part of NATO-backed rebels. Citing a rebel commander source “speaking in strict confidence” Blumenthal reports to Hillary [emphasis mine]: Under attack from allied Air and Naval forces, the Libyan Army troops have begun to desert to the rebel side in increasing numbers. The rebels are making an effort to greet these troops as fellow Libyans, in an effort to encourage additional defections. (Source Comment: Speaking in strict confidence, one rebel commander stated that his troops continue to summarily execute all foreign mercenaries captured in the fighting…). While the illegality of extra-judicial killings is easy to recognize (groups engaged in such are conventionally termed “death squads”), the sinister reality behind the “foreign mercenaries” reference might not be as immediately evident to most. While over the decades Gaddafi was known to make use of European and other international security and infrastructural contractors, there is no evidence to suggest that these were targeted by the Libyan rebels. There is, however, ample documentation by journalists, academics, and human rights groups demonstrating that black Libyan civilians and sub-Saharan contract workers, a population favored by Gaddafi in his pro-African Union policies, were targets of “racial cleansing” by rebels who saw black Libyans as tied closely with the regime.[1] Black Libyans were commonly branded as “foreign mercenaries” by the rebel opposition for their perceived general loyalty to Gaddafi as a community and subjected to torture, executions, and their towns “liberated” by ethnic cleansing. This is demonstrated in the most well-documented example of Tawergha, an entire town of 30,000 black and “dark-skinned” Libyans which vanished by August 2011 after its takeover by NATO-backed NTC Misratan brigades.  [comment:  they're probably mostly in Europe and otherwise dispersed, rather than all killed? ] These attacks were well-known as late as 2012 and often filmed, as this report from The Telegraph confirms: After Muammar Gaddafi was killed, hundreds of migrant workers from neighboring states were imprisoned by fighters allied to the new interim authorities. They accuse the black Africans of having been mercenaries for the late ruler. Thousands of sub-Saharan Africans have been rounded up since Gaddafi fell in August. It appears that Clinton was getting personally briefed on the battlefield crimes of her beloved anti-Gaddafi fighters long before some of the worst of these genocidal crimes took place.   Al-Qaeda and Western Special Forces Inside Libya The same intelligence email from Sydney Blumenthal also confirms what has become a well-known theme of Western supported insurgencies in the Middle East: the contradiction of special forces training militias that are simultaneously suspected of links to Al Qaeda. Blumenthal relates that “an extremely sensitive source” confirmed that British, French, and Egyptian special operations units were training Libyan militants along the Egyptian-Libyan border, as well as in Benghazi suburbs. While analysts have long speculated as to the “when and where” of Western ground troop presence in the Libyan War, this email serves as definitive proof that special forces were on the ground only within a month of the earliest protests which broke out in the middle to end of February 2011 in Benghazi. By March 27 of what was commonly assumed a simple “popular uprising” external special operatives were already “overseeing the transfer of weapons and supplies to the rebels” including “a seemingly endless supply of AK47 assault rifles and ammunition.” Yet only a few paragraphs after this admission, caution is voiced about the very militias these Western special forces were training because of concern that, “radical/terrorist groups such as the Libyan Fighting Groups and Al Qa’ida in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) are infiltrating the NLC and its military command.” The Threat of Libya’s Oil and Gold to French Interests Though the French-proposed U.N. Security Council Resolution 1973 claimed the no-fly zone implemented over Libya was to protect civilians, an April 2011 email [archived here] sent to Hillary with the subject line “France’s client and Qaddafi’s gold” tells of less noble ambitions. The email identifies French President Nicholas Sarkozy as leading the attack on Libya with five specific purposes in mind: to obtain Libyan oil, ensure French influence in the region, increase Sarkozy’s reputation domestically, assert French military power, and to prevent Gaddafi’s influence in what is considered “Francophone Africa.” Most astounding is the lengthy section delineating the huge threat that Gaddafi’s gold and silver reserves, estimated at “143 tons of gold, and a similar amount in silver,” posed to the French franc (CFA) circulating as a prime African currency. In place of the noble sounding “Responsibility to Protect” (R2P) doctrine fed to the public, there is this “confidential” explanation of what was really driving the war [emphasis mine]: This gold was accumulated prior to the current rebellion and was intended to be used to establish a pan-African currency based on the Libyan golden Dinar. This plan was designed to provide the Francophone African Countries with an alternative to the French franc (CFA). (Source Comment: According to knowledgeable individuals this quantity of gold and silver is valued at more than $7 billion. French intelligence officers discovered this plan shortly after the current rebellion began, and this was one of the factors that influenced President Nicolas Sarkozy’s decision to commit France to the attack on Libya.) Though this internal email aims to summarize the motivating factors driving France’s (and by implication NATO’s) intervention in Libya, it is interesting to note that saving civilian lives is conspicuously absent from the briefing. Instead, the great fear reported is that Libya might lead North Africa into a high degree of economic independence with a new pan-African currency. French intelligence “discovered” a Libyan initiative to freely compete with European currency through a local alternative, and this had to be subverted through military aggression. The Ease of Floating Crude Propaganda Early in the Libyan conflict Secretary of State Clinton formally accused Gaddafi and his army of using mass rape as a tool of war. Though numerous international organizations, like Amnesty International, quickly debunked these claims, the charges were uncritically echoed by Western politicians and major media. It seemed no matter how bizarre the conspiracy theory, as long as it painted Gaddafi and his supporters as monsters, and so long as it served the cause of prolonged military action in Libya, it was deemed credible by network news. Two foremost examples are referenced in the latest batch of emails: the sensational [1] claim that Gaddafi issued Viagra to his troops for mass rape, and the [2] claim that bodies were “staged” by the Libyan government at NATO bombing sites to give the appearance of the Western coalition bombing civilians. In a late March 2011 email, Blumenthal confesses to Hillary that, I communicated more than a week ago on this story—Qaddafi placing bodies to create PR stunts about supposed civilian casualties as a result of Allied bombing—though underlining it was a rumor. But now, as you know, Robert gates gives credence to it. (See story below.) Sources now say, again rumor (that is, this information comes from the rebel side and is unconfirmed independently by Western intelligence), that Qaddafi has adopted a rape policy and has even distributed Viagra to troops. The incident at the Tripoli press conference involving a woman claiming to be raped is likely to be part of a much larger outrage. Will seek further confirmation. Not only did Defense Secretary Robert Gates promote his bizarre “staged bodies” theory on CBS News’ “Face The Nation,” but the even stranger Viagra rape fiction made international headlines as U.S. Ambassador to the UN Susan Rice made a formal charge against Libya in front of the UN Security Council. What this new email confirms is that not only was the State Department aware of the spurious nature of what Blumenthal calls “rumors” originating solely with the rebels, but did nothing to stop false information from rising to top officials who then gave them “credence.” It appears, furthermore, that the Viagra mass rape hoax likely originated with Sidney Blumenthal himself.

I suspected all that Viagra rape hysteria was made up. Rape is a weapon of war, but not in the way that the public thinks.  It's exploited for Western propaganda and lies. Meanwhile, Eurpean women getting raped by the foreign populations that these corrupt European leaders are flooding Europe with, and it's ignored and covered up. These politicians are disgusting. The West tells so many lies that it's probably always safe to assume the opposite of what we're being told at any time by politicians and the controlled media.

The prime minister, Jan Peter Balkenende, said the Labour party – the second-largest party in his ruling coalition – was quitting. He tendered his government's resignation to Queen Beatrix, the Dutch ceremonial head of state, in a telephone call. Balkenende has been weighing up a request from Nato for Dutch troops to stay in Afghanistan beyond 2010. Just under 2,000 Dutch personnel have been serving in the southern Afghan province of Uruzgan, where 21 Dutch soldiers have been killed.

Therefore, propaganda must be tailored to EXPLOIT these public opinion factors. CIA propaganda advice memo indicates that the European public viewing the issue of Afghanistan as a 'not our problem' which is interpreted that the existing deployment of troops to Afghanistan is not on the public radar. CASUALTIES The CIA propagandist plan concern is that: Passive public opposition could be turned into active calls for withdrawal of troops if German troops, French troops or Afghanistan civilians are killed. _______________ Which probably explains why: 1) the military hides figures of civilian dead. 2) the government discourages media focus on military dead, bodybags etc. _______________ DOMESTIC POLITICS Ongoing support for NATO military intervention is at risk at ELECTION TIME. { Comment:  therefore, one would think, anti-war campaigners might wish to especially concentrate their efforts in the lead up to elections, as election time appears to be a critical time to turn public opinion and to perhaps leverage wanted results from politicians } CIA express concern re DOMINO EFFECT: ie if the Dutch pull out due to domestic opposition, the French and the Germans may do likewise, citing the Dutch precedent. { Comment:  for anti-war campaigners, that would mean that if one country’s campaign is successful, there is a strong likelihood that such success may be followed up elsewhere, by setting of example for others to follow } _______________ Propaganda Pre-empting Opposition Between 2008 & 2010 (ie 2 year period) France + Germany took measures to pre-empt further opposition to Afghanistan military intervention _______________ FRANCE Following deaths of x10 French soldiers in late 2008, Sarkozy called for a National Assembly to give the appearance of debate & consent Sarkozy's government won the vote Sarkozy used that opportunity to then deploy a further 3,000 troops Due to regional elections coming up March 2010, Sarkozy's govt is at risk to any increase in casualties ______________ GERMANY Kunduz Airstrike 2009 American F-15E fighter jet struck two *beached* / *stranded* fuel tankers reportedly captured by Taliban insurgents, in response to German call. Over 90 civilians killed in US fighter attack. German Col. Georg Klein relying on intelligence officer relying on sole informant. Col. Georg Klein ordered that 500-pound GBU-38 bombs be dropped at 2:30am. June 2010 Germany announced it would pay $5,000 to each of the families of over 100 civilian victims, as an ex gratia payment without admitting liability. Former Afghan Commerce Minister Amin Farhang described the $5,000—equivalent to about 20,000 Afghanis—as a "laughable" sum. {Comment:  that sum’s an insult} Germany reclassified the Afghanistan deployment as an "armed conflict within the parameters of international law", allowing German forces to act without risk of prosecution under German law. [Wikipedia] ------------------ Article - Kunduz "Officially, the German deployment had been termed a "stabilization mission," which left many soldiers resentful that the full dangers of their mission were not appreciated back home." February 11, 2010 http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/the-world-from-berlin-new-evaluation-on-afghanistan-long-overdue-a-677289.html So the propaganda program was already in place in Germany, spinning the 'stabilisation mission' line for what is intensely contested occupation. ______________ Kunduz Airstrike of Sept 2009 killed high number of Afghan civilians is described by the CIA as a 'potential pressure' on the government Germany also has vulnerability:  May 2010 regional elections CIA advises on how the European public may be encouraged to swallow increased military casualties and/or increased civilian causalities: ie can be done by linking 'outcomes' in Afghanistan with the voters' own priorities Communication method to achieve this: *propaganda program across NATO troop contributing nations  *consistency  *repetition  *linking to key concerns for particular national audiences is the pre-emptive propaganda measure, to be relied upon to continue to support NATO military intervention in the event that the 2010 apathy concerning Afghanistan military intervention turns to active opposition & calls for withdrawal, as this propaganda will then shore up the politicians' ability to justify & support taxpayer expense and deployment of their nations' troops in Afghanistan. { Comment:  So it is propaganda to pave the way to giving politicians the excuse to carry on as they wish, even in the face of future opposition. } THE PLAN FRANCE Exploit concerns for civilians & refugees give examples of benefits to Afghan civilians / ie spin the Afghan civilian ‘benefits’ Choice of spin is based on results of public opinion polls. 2009 Public polls indicated: 1) those in support of Afghanistan military intervention, hold the view on basis that intervention is a 'help' to civilians; 2) those against Afghanistan military intervention, hold the view on the basis intervention is damaging to civilians. Going by the 2009 polls, the CIA propaganda experts conclude that contradicting the perception that Afghanistan military intervention does more harm than good is important in France, particularly given the Muslim minority in France. The plan is to cite a 2009 poll that indicates that a majority Afghans support foreign military intervention in their country. Reason for this tactic:  This is important because a good percentage of the German and French public that was polled (and in opposition to the military intervention in Afghanistan) also believed that the Afghan public is opposed to foreign military intervention in Afghanistan. Exploiting Public Guilt In addition, the French can dramatise the potentially negative consequences of NATO defeat for Afghan civilians Exploiting Cultural Differences re Status of Women eg by using the spectre of Taliban denying girls education this is supposed to trigger secular French indignation give the public reason to support French military intervention in Afghanistan -- ie  using propaganda to spin foreign military intervention in Afghanistan aims as a'good and necessary' cause so as to obtain public support, regardless of casualties ______________ COMMENT Explains all that incongruous emphasis on women's rights and anti-rape campaigns pushed by the UN, the British government, the US government, and like organisations -- where the ditzy Hollywood celebrities front the propaganda sideshow in a perverse entertainment-politics ‘marriage’ with bald-headed neocon warmonger politicians ______________ Exploit Testimonials  / Personalise Exploiting stories re the plight of refugees is highly recommended (given media controversy that was whipped up re 2009 expulsion of 12 Afghan refugees) { Comment:  the same could be said of the ‘Refugee Crisis’ currently drummed up by Merkel and the media and used by politicians in an attempt to justify attack on Syria } French were already involved in anti human trafficking efforts, so (according to the CIA propaganda memo), the French could be talked into supporting a NATO propaganda campaign along the lines that a NATO defeat could cause a refugee crisis. ______________ COMMENT  The irony is that military interventions are responsible for creating displacement and refugee problems, which Europe is currently awash with due to successive interventions of NATO and allies. ______________ GERMANY 2009 poll indicates German public opposition to war in Afghanistan was on the basis of: - financial/resources waste reasons - not a German issue - objection in principle {pacifist public} Ways to dampen German public opposition to NATO military intervention in Afghanistan - demonstrating ‘progress on the ground' - propaganda re consequences for Germany if NATO defeated in Afghanistan - propaganda re value of German 'partnership' in the NATO-led intervention - using propaganda about Afghanistan optimism re the military intervention's progress could challenge the waste of taxpayer money argument { Comment:  following government-associated broadcaster polls are never to be trusted (in my opinion) ...  } Background ARD ARD (broadcaster) joint organisation of Germany's regional public-service broadcasters founded in 1950 in West Germany ARD - world's largest public broadcaster, with a budget of €6.3 billion & 23,000 employees budget comes primarily from the licence fees every household, every company and even every public institution ARD - operates many correspondents' offices in foreign cities, second only to BBC News {Comment:  BBC has been described as a ‘nest of spies’ by Iran, so it is not unreasonable to conclude ARD would be a like German organisation} Since 1960 it ARD been operated by the German federal government [Propaganda & Mass Persuasion, Cull, Cullbert & Welch - pg 333] ABC/BBC/ADR These polls *supposedly* indicated a high level of Afghan support for foreign military invasion in their country, on the basis of belief in pending improvement of conditions. {Comment:  lol ... anyone actually believe that?  Who did they poll, US payrolled dissidents? } Meanwhile, there were equally high levels of German pessimism re ‘stabilising Afghanistan’ Propaganda plan is to stress this 'high optimism' attributed to Afghanistan public To counter the 'not our problem' attitude of the German public, the following propaganda is called for: messaging that indicates NATO defeat in Afghanistan could equal exposure to terrorism, opium, refugees in Germany ______________ Irony This is the *exact* result of German *INTERVENTION* abroad -- it creates an explosion of displaced & therefore refugees, that Germany (& Europe) is now imposing on the German public. Currently Germany (& Europe) is hosting unprecedented levels of (unvetted) refugees and economic immigrants, passed off by the media as 'Syrian refugees' --  80% of whom are from countries other than Syria -- countries that have been targets of US & allied military destruction. Thus Germany has in fact opened itself up to ADDITIONAL financial burden; extensive, ongoing, and irreconcilable social burden; significant threat and likelihood of internal violence and terrorism; probable drug importation given the high probablility of internal links (refugee influx) to external sources of opium. All these ADDITIONAL costs of war to Germany are imposed on German taxpayers, alongside the refugee problem Germany has taken onboard on behalf of its imperialist American 'partner'. ______________ For Germany, propaganda strategy is to spin and emphasise NATO intervention's 'multilateral' and 'humanitarian' propaganda angles 1990s Germans supported NATO attack on Balkans as a show of 'commitment' to NATO allies German point of weakness is the desire to help / co-operate. The 'helping allies' rationale is the major reason for German public support of NATO military intervention in Afghanistan (in 2009 poll). European worry about European standing in Washington is EXPLOITED by Washington -- as leverage for maintaining European contributions to the NATO military interventions. eg.  Obama did not attend EU summit /  places Europe in 'lesser position' & results in European 'hand wringing' re this demotion For some bizarre reason, the French and the German publics are deemed to have confidence in Obama's ability to handle foreign affairs CIA indicates that this French & German public gullibility can be exploited by getting Obama to: a) spout propaganda about the importance of NATO military intervention in Afghanistan; & b) express disappointment in allies who do not help. ______________ LMAO ... ingenious.   That definitely hooks in the brainwashed Germans, who are all about goodness and light and hand-holding cooperation in the aftermath of decades of British and US subjugation and propaganda.  lol ______________ 2009 poll showed that when citing the Obama *personal* request for Afghanistan deployments, support increased as follows: =  4-15% French increase in support for 'yes' =  7-13% German increase in support for 'yes' ______________ CIA says that although the total percentages are small, there is a public sensitivity to disappointing the plutocratic puppet President of the American empire EXPLOITING AFGHAN WOMEN FOR WAR PROPAGANDA idea is to use Afghan women to 'humanise' NATO military intervention in Afghanistan / as the symbols of NATO's noble role in combating Taliban. Arrange media events conveying testimonials by Afghan women to broadcast to disproportionately female audiences. EXPLOIT *Afghan women speaking of experiences under Taliban *Afghan women speaking of aspirations for the future *Afghan women speaking of fears of Taliban victory Hook up Afghan women and the media Disseminate the pro Western/NATO intervention in Afghanistan propaganda via media to the French, German and other European women so as to get the women of Europe to come on-board with NATO military intervention in Afghanistan This is especially important as polls indicate that - 08% more French women than men are anti war - 22% more German women than men are anti war SOURCE WikiLeaks ---------------------- ꕤ ---------------------- Propaganda 101 Obama will decorate an original French soldier for bravery in Afghanistan ꕤ COPYRIGHT DISCLAIMER Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.

TRANSLATION Barack Obama will deliver in a month the Medal of Honor to Captain Florent Groberg, 32, a French-born US soldier who distinguished himself for his courage in fighting in Kunar province, Afghanistan. The "Medal of Honor", the highest American military award, distinguished, since 1863, an "act of heroism beyond duty." It is often awarded posthumously. Deployed in Kunar province in 2009 and again in 2012, Captain Groberg has shown 8 August 2012 in Asadabad. In an interview with Army Times magazine, Groberg captain told how he came face-to-face with a man about to commit a terrorist attack - suicide, an explosive device attached to the torso.  "The only thing I thought was: I must away from myself, I have to get him away from everybody," he recounted, explaining how he had then thrown to the ground. "At that time, he lands on the ground, I look at it, and it explodes, it explodes right before my feet." The blast left four people dead and many injured on the US side. But the intervention of Captain Groberg prevented the suicide bomber to activate his bomb when he had planned to do so and thus avoided a death toll much higher. Florent Groberg was born in Poissy, near Paris, May 8, 1983. US citizenship in 2001, he was educated at Walter Johnson High School in Bethesda. Recounting the phone call from US President informing him that he would receive the prestigious medal, Florent Gorberg evoked unforgettable: "It's not every day that one of the most influential men in the world calls you on your mobile. " The discount will medal ceremony held November 12 at the White House.
