WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

As what started as protests in Libya degenerate into full scale civil war between pro- and anti- Colonel Muammar Gaddafi forces, the only way forward for the troubled nation and its embattled maximum ruler is for him to abdicate the office and make way for a true democratic dispensation in the oil-rich country.
Gaddafi has been coming down very hard on Libyans who are insisting that he must vacate office after 41 years of dictatorship.
Soldiers loyal to him have been shooting and bombing the ‘rebels’, who Gaddafi called ‘rats,’ and Al Queda agents, resulting in a blood bath that can pass as the worst human tragedy in the recent history of civil protests against dictatorships in Africa.
For example, reports have it that thousands of anti- Gaddafi Libyans have been killed since the hostilities took a turn for the worst especially as a result of the bombing of rebel held areas. It has also been reported that more than a million Libyans and other nationals, including Nigerians, resident in the country need humanitarian aid because they have either been displaced by the hostilities or have fled the country to become refugees elsewhere, or are stranded at the borders.
Given this grave situation and the obvious descent to near total anarchy, it amounts to insensitivity for Gaddafi to insist on holding on to power. He ought to have realized that whatever be his justification for holding stubbornly to power, history will not be kind to him for putting his people through the trauma of avoidable civil war with all its dire consequences.
Gaddafi has played his part in the history of Libya. Since 1969, when he came to power through the military coup that toppled King Idris al-Sanusi, Gaddafi has earned incredible respect for his revolutionary posture.
His celebrated Green Book captured much of the radical, anti-west ideas which he has been working hard to export to other countries of the world, especially African and Arab nations.
Some admirers of Gaddafi also acknowledge that comparatively, Libyans were provided for by their government and were not expected to take to the streets like Tunisians and Egyptians majority of who are dirt poor.
But history has consistently proved that life is dynamic and that its vehicle is change.
Hence Gaddafi should have read the handwriting on the wall and come to terms with the fact that his time as leader of Libya is up, and that the myth that has surrounded his person and his revolution has indeed been broken by the wind of change currently blowing across North Africa and the Middle East.
It is obvious that North Africans and nationals of some countries of the Middle East, who had silently endured dictatorships over the years, have come to a stage in their lives when they are no longer deceived by empty slogans and far-fetched anti-west sentiments.
The same people, who had been mistaken as politically docile, are now ready to lay down their lives in order to gain freedom from oppression.
Given that a leader, no matter how stubborn or strong, cannot successfully withstand this wind of change, we restate our position that Gaddafi, in the interest of Libyans, should take a cue from fellow dictators like Ben Ali of Tunisia and Hosni Mubarak of Egypt, who bowed to their people’s will when the wind of change blew across their countries.
Part of the problem with Gaddafi is the feeling that he is the only wise man in Africa.
It is this same illusion of grandeur that must have informed his dream of a United States of Africa where, he must have convinced himself that he would be the de-facto Emperor.
The efforts of Gaddafi to provide basic amenities for his people, well publicized, overshadowed the fact that most common Libyans are living in abject poverty while, as is usual with dictatorships, the stupendous wealth of Libya has been concentrated within Gaddafi’s immediate family and a few of his close associates.
This should not be so and it is expected that a change of guards would result in a more equitable allocation and application of the considerable resources of the country.
We, therefore, call on Libyans to sustain the current pressure against the ‘strongman’ and exhort the international community to close ranks and help the hapless Libyans to snatch their country back from Gaddafi.
