8/19 midnite update -

In contrast I have a hard time believing that the 'rebels' are making gains against an army.

The UN and the US are making all those countries "weaker" in order to make it easy for the Zionists to take over them.....is an old tactic that they have been using like..........for ever.

Are these the same Rebels that set up a central bank and sent envoys to Britan to be officially recognized?

Yes, the ones taking orders from and working directly for NATO.

All that the US has done is to created havoc and discord where there was unitiy and friendship in the Middle East.......the Zionist are afraid that all those countries will try to declared war on them at the same time.......but.......as long as they are fighting among themselves they will disregard the Zionist..........no matter what they are doing to the Palestinians and other countries.

What a contrast between the Zionist controlled western media and RT -

The Zionist controlled media must have something up their sleeve to keep reporting the imminent fall of Tripoli like they are.

Another non-Zionist report out of Libya -

I have seen two headlines stories in the past two days dealing with the victories by the rebels.

This one is new.

Libyan rebels celebrate latest victory



What is the rifle just right of the center AK?

That's a FAL rifle. Lots of FALs in Libya, the Libyan Army adopted the FAL in the '50s.

Yes they are! this is what is most interesting about this 'Libyan Revolt'.
Libyan rebels in Benghazi say they have formed their own central bank.

The rebel group known as the Transitional National Council released a statement last week announcing that they have designated the Central Bank of Benghazi as a monetary authority competent in monetary policies in Libya, and that they have appointed a governor to the Central Bank of Libya, with a temporary headquarters in Benghazi, according to Bloomberg.

Is this the first time a revolutionary group has created a central bank while it is still in the midst of fighting the entrenched political power? It certainly seems to indicate how extraordinarily powerful central bankers have become in our era.

Robert Wenzel of Economic Policy Journal thinks the central banking initiative reveals that foreign powers may have a strong influence over the rebels.

This suggests we have a bit more than a ragtag bunch of rebels running around and that there are some pretty sophisticated influences. “I have never before heard of a central bank being created in just a matter of weeks out of a popular uprising,” Wenzel writes. http://www.cnbc.com/id/42308613/Liby...n_Central_Bank

With Libyan Rebels On The Verge Of Taking Over Tripoli, Is Gaddafi About To Scorch The Earth?

So... Looks like the CIA wins?

Remember what NATO's mandate was? To protect the civilians?

1,300 dead, 5,000 injured in less than 12 hours in Tripoli.

'Rebels' attack by sea - for a rag tag bunch they sure have it together. Anyone ever see the movie 'The Dogs of War'?

You really believe they got those rifles from Libyan stockpiles, I have
seen many FALs in totally retarded noob hands since the beginning of this conflict
and the FALs always looked totally out of place, some very nice weapons in very
nice condition, those holding them don't even know how to hold them, nor how to shoot,
there is no way they know how to maintain them properly and keep them in that condition,
some of these may have come from British or even Egyptian sources recently, I was
reading that Egypt is arming the " rebels " as well, and fighters are even crossing from
Egypt. Some of the weapons I saw I would love to own, and some of the shooters
made me laugh, like the Africans with AK's jumping out and spraying and getting pushed
back because of the power of the FAL, retards shooting them.

Weapons choice could also be part of the deception, the enemy uses AK47's.

Just look at these retards, they are being used, this is also CNN disinfo IMO.
Who is arming and training these people ? Libya is divided along 3 ethnic lines apparently.
The east is fighting the west but they stand no chance without help.

NATO is doing all the killing, they're using 'rebels' as cover -

According to drudge, the presidential guard surrendered:

Central Banking (and by corollary, gold), water and cheap oil for France/Italy - as MR said, this is a NATO thing.

Angry. They were purposely left out of this party.

The host, via NATO, is France. Italy collected the RSVPs.

US Marines and Navy are playing valet and chauffeur respectively.
