The official reports coming over the Western media are false, Gaddafi is alive – injured or not, RT was told by Stephen Lendman, an American radio host, author and blogger, who got the news from the independent Mathaba news agency.

­“I’m very skeptical of the so-called official reports,” at least media from NATO countries taking part in the Libyan campaign should be distrusted.

The blogger also does not believe the latest news that one of Gaddafi's sons, Mutasim, has also reportedly just been killed in Sirte.

“Western media reports are absolutely falsified – Sirte is not controlled by the NTC, neither is Bani Walid, and as a matter of fact, Tripoli as well,” states Stephen Lendman, saying he admires the loyalist forces who, after seven months of hard stand-off against the world’s most advanced military powers, have the ability to continue fight against Western-led mercenaries.

“Western media is lying, the official reports are lying – the balance is going back and force,” he claims.

Stephen Lendman informs that as far as he knows, most of the Libyan cities – including that of Benghazi – are under loyalist control.

Lendman commented on the recent Hillary Clinton statement that Gaddafi should be captured or killed, saying that for that public statement alone the American Secretary of State should be labeled as a war criminal.

He says that during her recent demonstration visit to Libya, “Hillary Clinton was smuggled into Tripoli for a photo call. She did not even landed in the airport because with the all that fighting going on all around the Tripoli Airport there is no plane that could land there safely. It is possible a helicopter dropped her into Tripoli for a photo op and then she somehow managed to get out of there alive.”

Since the loyalist forces have all means and have already downed several UAVs and a couple of helicopters, it is a miracle that the American Secretary of State was not shot down, Stephen Lendman concludes.

While the TV news in the US/Europe is indeed not credible, Lendman's claim that Tripoli is not controlled by the rebel government is equally not credible simply because none of the cowardly ZOG stooges like Hillary, David Cameron and the rest of them would go within 50 miles of a location where they were not secured by dense cordons of armed bodyguards. 
These are our "leaders" today; they are cowards and puppets and all their public appearances are staged. The Coward-in-Chief is the US president who orders millions of deaths but has the world's best security, traveling everywhere with a cortège of hundreds of bodyguards who totally shut down all roads and businesses with miles of his location so he can do his staged photo shoots. 
Whe n Barack Obama was inaugurated he was protected by 11,500 troops and 4,000 police -- or about 1 1/2 World War Two divisions. This is the "leader of the free world."
Qaddafi, while highly eccentric and a dictator by Western standards, certainly died like a man.

To be fair the time on the RT video says 2pm GMT and all i'd managed to find at the time was that one photo with all the video camera data plastered all over it (battery strength, time etc) that i'd have thought was a photo of the video playing back from the video camera (couldn't imagine a still captured from the camera itself, or the video for that matter having the battery power recorded along with the image). Anyway, regardless of sourcing method for the image it was pretty low quality and not beyond the powers of someone competent in photoshop to cook up. That, along with his previously claimed demise and the countless claims of death the NTC's made about his various children that have proven to be overly optimistic, back when this interview happened,  had me wondering  too

15 hours later however, with more info to consider... well, i'm thinking the guys probably dead.

I'm sure that Russian and Chinese planners are nervous over this attack on Libya by the USA. Perhaps the only solution is a nuclear first strike against the USA? Not really.

Perso nally, the best on only realistic approach is the following:

-S top trading in US dollars.
-Accept payment for Oil only in Roubles, Rinminbi or gold/silver.
-Stop buying US made products, or products made by US Companies.
-Start ditching US bonds. Big time.

Sooner or later, the US economy will collapse, and the USA will go to war with itself internally.
Then 'freedom loving peaceful nations' can come in, buy up the assets, and prevent the USA from ever becoming a threat to world peace ever again.
There are so many countries that live in fear of the US, and having their leaders assassinated (NZ had 2 PMs murdered). If the US was to collapse - they would loose support of many smaller countries, who could then align with nations that value a real future on Earth.

Real freedom is not living under tyranny.
