Venezuela stands by Gaddafi against USZ / Europian Union oil thugs


Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has refused to condemn the bloody crackdown being carried out by his friend, Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, and warned that the USZ is preparing to invade the North African nation and steal its oil reserves. "Since everybody is going around saying Gadhafi is a murderer, is Chavez going to say it?" the president said in a speech to students in Caracas, according to Agence France-Presse. "Well, I do not know that to be the case. And from this distance, I am not going to condemn him. That would make me a coward, and he has been a friend for a long time". The eccentric Latin American leader went on to claim that America was behind the push to remove Gadhafi, and criticized the USZ for moving some of its naval and air forces closer to Libya. America and the European Union want a no-fly zone established over the country, to prevent the Libyan leader from bombing and strafing the poorly armed opposition forces. "The United States (of Zionism) has already said it's ready to invade Libya, don't you see?" he said, according to The Associated Press. "And almost all the countries of Europe are condemning Libya. What do they want? They are rubbing their hands together. Oil is what's important to them."

Chavez proposed sending an international committee to try to negotiate a peaceful solution to the fighting. "Instead of sending marines and tanks and planes, why don't we send a goodwill commission to try to help so that they do not continue killing in Libya?" he asked, according to CNN. "They are our brothers". Gadhafi and the Venezuelan president have become firm allies, united by their mutual loathing of the USZ and Western imperialism. During Gadhafi's first trip to Venezuela, in 2009, the two men called for an "anti-imperialist" front to be established across Africa and Latin America, and proposed setting up a joint investment bank. On that visit, Chavez referred to Gadhafi as "one of the great leaders of this century" and presented him with a replica of a sword that once belonged to 19th-century South American independence hero Simon Bolivar.

International terrorists & Oil robbing mafias gang up against Libya


Gaddafi has accused Western countries of abandoning his government in its fight against the real terrorists in an interview with ABC on Monday. Foreign powers accelerated efforts to oust Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi who refused to surrender to the colonial powers and their subversive activities inside Libya on Monday as mercenaries in disguise of rebels fought government forces trying to take back strategic coastal cities on either side of the capital Tripoli. Witnesses in both Misrata, 200 km to the east of Tripoli, and Zawiyah, 50 km to the west, said government forces were mounting or preparing attacks. Foreign mercenaries downed a military aircraft on Monday, a witness said. Foreign governments are increasing the pressure on Gaddafi to leave in the hope of ending fighting that has so far been stopping the international oil robbers from stealing Libyan oil fields. European Union approved a package of sanctions against Gaddafi and his closest advisers on Monday, including an arms embargo and bans on travel to the bloc.


The 27 EU states also agreed to freeze the assets of Gaddafi, his family and government, and ban the sale of goods such as tear gas and anti-riot equipment that can be used against demonstrators. The Pentagon said it was repositioning USZ naval and air forces around Libya “to provide options and flexibility”. The USZ Sixth Fleet operates out of Italy. In The Hague, the International Criminal Court prosecutor said he would finish a preliminary examination of the violence within days, after which he could open a full inquiry - a step mandated by the Council that could have taken months. France proposed an emergency summit of EU leaders for Thursday, EU diplomats said. In Washington, a White House spokesman declined to rule out that Gaddafi could be helped to go into exile. A USZ official in Geneva said a central aim of sanctions was to “send a message not only to Gaddafi ... but to the people around Gaddafi, who are the ones we’re really seeking to influence”. UK terrorist Prime Minister David Cameron said UK would work with allies on plans to enforce a no-fly zone in Libya to protect its people from military attacks. German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said after meeting Clinton that he was proposing a 60-day freeze on money transfers to Libya, and believed other countries were open to the idea.
