Good Gaddafi video, but sad. Apparently, Gaddafi tried to appease the West by carrying out some neoliberal policies and that caused at least some of the unrest. The sane happened in Syria.

Neoliberalism is evil. "White man speak with forked tongue". Gaddafi said his greatest mistake was to trust the West.

Did anyone see the Native American film I put out? The white man - the Christians- broke every agreement they made with the American Indians.

This Russian video should be mandatory viewing for all Americans.

KAIVEY: “Apparently, Gaddafi tried to appease the West by carrying out some neoliberal policies and that caused at least some of the unrest. The sane happened in Syria.”

After Gaddafi retired from politics, his sons pushed through neoliberal “reforms” which caused great unhappiness, especially in eastern Libya (aka Cyrenaica). This provided NATO with an excuse to destroy Libya, and steal its water and oil.

In Syria, Assad and his cronies pushed for neoliberal “reforms.” These changes, combined with a prolonged drought, caused great inequality and unrest. Syrians went from a socialist context to a neoliberal context with skyrocketing prices for food and fuel. When Syrians peacefully marched in the street during the “Arab Spring,” the Empire (i.e. the West, Israel, and the Saudis) started shooting Syrian demonstrators from rooftops, and falsely blaming it on Assad.

Meanwhile the Empire sent in waves and waves of terrorist mercenaries, thereby creating a proxy war (not a “civil war”).
