"Remind me which "enemy" NATO destroyed last, other than the Soviet Union." wait for it...here's the deflection...right out of zzBru-liar's 10 Commandments of Trolling and Lying "Thanks for confirming that NATO didn't do anything significant since the fall of the Soviet Union." ++ as for Libya, it WAS the pillar of stability in Africa before NATO destroyed it for no reason other than revenge on Moamar and tyo steal Libyan pol. Libya: Ten Things About Gaddafi They Don’t Want You to Know By Global Research News Global Research, November 30, 2018 Urban Times 16 May 2014 Region: Middle East & North Africa Theme: Media Disinformation, Poverty & Social Inequality This article was first published by Global Research in November 2014. Today Libya as a Nation State has been destroyed by US-NATO. What do you think of when you hear the name Colonel Gaddafi? Tyrant? Dictator? Terrorist? Well, a national citizen of Libya may disagree but we want you to decide. For 41 years until his demise in October 2011, Muammar Gaddafi did some truly amazing things for his country and repeatedly tried to unite and empower the whole of Africa. So despite what you’ve heard on the radio, seen in the media or on the TV, Gaddafi did some powerful things that are not characteristic of a “vicious dictator” as portrayed by the western media. Here are ten things Gaddafi did for Libya that you may not know about… 1. In Libya a home is considered a natural human right In Gaddafi’s Green Book it states: ”The house is a basic need of both the individual and the family, therefore it should not be owned by others”. Gaddafi’s Green Book is the formal leader’s political philosophy, it was first published in 1975 and was intended reading for all Libyans even being included in the national curriculum. 2. Education and medical treatment were all free Under Gaddafi, Libya could boast one of the best healthcare services in the Middle East and Africa. Also if a Libyan citizen could not access the desired educational course or correct medical treatment in Libya they were funded to go abroad. Will Another Gaddafi Lead Libya? 3. Gaddafi carried out the world’s largest irrigation project The largest irrigation system in the world also known as the great manmade river was designed to make water readily available to all Libyan’s across the entire country. It was funded by the Gaddafi government and it said that Gaddafi himself called it ”the eighth wonder of the world”. 4. It was free to start a farming business If any Libyan wanted to start a farm they were given a house, farm land and live stock and seeds all free of charge. 5. A bursary was given to mothers with newborn babies When a Libyan woman gave birth she was given 5000 (US dollars) for herself and the child. 6. Electricity was free Electricity was free in Libya meaning absolutely no electric bills! 7. Cheap petrol During Gaddafi’s reign the price of petrol in Libya was as low as 0.14 (US dollars) per litre. 8. Gaddafi raised the level of education Before Gaddafi only 25% of Libyans were literate. This figure was brought up to 87% with 25% earning university degrees. 9. Libya had It’s own state bank Libya had its own State bank, which provided loans to citizens at zero percent interest by law and they had no external debt. 10. The gold dinar Before the fall of Tripoli and his untimely demise, Gaddafi was trying to introduce a single African currency linked to gold. Following in the foot steps of the late great pioneer Marcus Garvey who first coined the term ”United States of Africa”. Gaddafi wanted to introduce and only trade in the African gold Dinar – a move which would have thrown the world economy into chaos. The Dinar was widely opposed by the ‘elite’ of today’s society and who could blame them. African nations would have finally had the power to bring itself out of debt and poverty and only trade in this precious commodity. They would have been able to finally say ‘no’ to external exploitation and charge whatever they felt suitable for precious resources. It has been said that the gold Dinar was the real reason for the NATO led rebellion, in a bid to oust the outspoken leader. So, was Muammar Gaddafi a Terrorist? Few can answer this question fairly, but if anyone can, it’s a Libyan citizen who has lived under his reign? Whatever the case, it seems rather apparent that he did some positive things for his country despite the infamous notoriety surrounding his name. And that’s something you should try to remember when judging in future. This quirky video documentary spells out an interesting, if rather different, story from the one we think we know.
