1/ Reminder: Prior to 2011 #NATO War, #Libya had the Highest Standard of Living in Africa

By Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey

In 2011, #NATO launched an illegal, savage attack against the country with the Highest Human Development Index in Africa. Let us see where Libya stands today.
2/ When #Cameron, #Sarkozy, #Obama, #Clinton and that sickening clique of #warmongering, interfering, imperialist thugs decided to attack Libya in 2011, in an attack planned and orchestrated for months in advance, they told us their fight was not against the people of #Libya.
3/ Looking at #Libya today, who were they fooling and who is suffering? Under international law regarding the scope of applicability, there are rules as to the wanton and brazen use of force turning a peaceful situation into an ongoing theater of conflict.

1/ Canada, leading member of imperialist intelligence in Syria

by Ayman Ahmed

The West has mastered the art of propaganda and hypocrisy. Terrorists are presented as peacemakers and those striving for peace and justice are accused
2/ of being terrorists. This applies as much to the terrorist outfit, the Mujahideen-e Khalq Organization (MKO) used against the Islamic Republic of Iran as it does to the inappropriately named group called #WhiteHelmets operating in terrorist-held areas in #Syria.
3/ There is nothing “white” about this heavily armed group masquerading as “rescue workers” when in reality they act in tandem with Western-backed #terrorists unleashed on the people of #Syria.
