Libya - A Media War
A brief introduction to some facts about the war in Libya is followed by media worker Joti Brar’s remarks on the role of the press in aiding and abetting imperialism’s unjust wars, concentrating on the example of Libya.Joti goes on to demonstrate that journalists playing an active and knowing part in the generation of war propaganda are not only central to the entire conduct of these modern day colonial wars, but are, for that very reason, guilty of war crimes.

This video is a tribute to Brother Muammar Gaddafi (Arabic: مُعَمَّر القَذَّافِي Muʿammar al-Qaḏḏāfī; born in June 1942), who at a young age led the revolution to overthrow Libya’s ruling feudal monarch and pawn of US and Italian imperialism, King Idris.
At the head of the Libyan Arab Socialist Jamahiriya, he led his nation on a massive program of social, technical, and cultural development. It is no exaggeration to talk of Gaddafi’s Libya as a renaissance period for the people of this beautiful and cultured North African country. The Libyan people, in the 42 years of his leadership, rose from being literally the poorest on earth, to the wealthiest and most egalitarian in Africa.
As a result of his consistent anti-imperialist stance, NATO imperialism took the opportunity presented by real popular upheaval in Libya’s neighboring countries (the 2011 ‘Arab spring’ uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt) to launch a vicious and genocidal war to topple his government, and rob the Libyan people of their social gains, their real diplomatic and anti-imperialist influence and - of course — their mineral resources.
After a brutal 7 months of carpet bombing, day and night, which claimed the lives of 100,000 civilians, systematically targeted civilian infrastructure and destroyed entire cities, NATO’s paid agents were directed to corner the heroic anti-imperialist leader of the resistance, and Lynched him cruelly and publically on 20 October 2011.
Contrary to the vile assertions of the western media, He faced his executioners, vile mercenaries and unthinking tools of NATO imperialism as the proud defender of independent ant free Libya. He dies a heroes death, in battle, facing his enemies with steely resolve, and refusing to desert his post, his country and his people at the hour of greatest need.
Dan Glazebrook, Lizzie Phelan and CPGB-ML Chairmain Harpal Brar speaking at Oxford’s Stop the War meeting on Libya. Excellent speeches that highlighted the blatant crimes of imperialism, the despicable role of the media in manufacturing public opinion and the complicity of much of the British left, particularly the subservient Stop the War Coalition.
Save The NHS From Privatisation!
More than 400 senior doctors and public health experts are calling on the House of Lords to throw out the government’s health and social care bill, saying it will do “irreparable harm to the NHS, to individual patients and to society as a whole”.
“While we welcome the emphasis placed on establishing a closer working relationship between public health and local government, the proposed reforms as a whole will disrupt, fragment and weaken the country’s public health capabilities,” says the letter.
“The government claims that the reforms have the backing of the health professions. They do not. Neither do they have the general support of the public.”
Heroic Speech by President Mugabe in UN on Libya, Colonialism and NATO aggression.
Unofficial sources have announced that Iran, Russia, and China are currently holding talks on a proposal to establish a joint missile defense shield as a counterweight to a NATO defense shield, Mehr news agency reported.
The report, which was published in the Iranian daily newspaper Kayhan on Sunday, said that the sources cited two reasons why serious consultations have been held on the initiative.
First, all three states have come to the conclusion that U.S. officials’ assertion that their concern over the alleged missile and nuclear capabilities of Iran and North Korea is the reason for the decision to establish a NATO missile defense shield is just a pretext and the true objective of the shield is to threaten Russia and China.
Also, now that the US and Turkey signed a memorandum on Wednesday to establish an early warning radar system (the AN/TPY-2 THAAD) in Malatya, southeast Turkey, by the end of the year which is one component of the NATO missile defense shield which is supposedly to protect Europe from missile attacks from rogue states, the U.S. is now planning to establish other components of the new system in South Korea and Taiwan, which clearly shows that Washington is using the alleged threat from Iran and North Korea as a pretext to target China and Russia.
