September 28, 2011 10:26

It was good to hear a Britisher, Simon Jenkins, who is honest, integrous and has wisdom after seeing the foolish deceitful dishonest behavior of Cameron and the British government in this inhumane criminal cruel destructive "humanitarian intervention" of Libya - a gross violation of the nation's national sovereignty that studies show 65 percent of its people supported Gaddafi - in a power grab for its oil. How utterly shameful was this act of thievery. Great to see UK has integrous men - like Simon Jenkins, and not just buffoons in high places.

The West (AKA US-NATO Axis) today has a powerful military at their disposal which is used to attack other nations in order to rape the natural resources of the land.  But, the West is also socially rotten to the core, and her decline into a societal sewer is inevitable.
Today 's so called West is well down the path that the decaying Roman Empire took in 300 AD.
A new world will rise from the ruins of the so-called West.

Ban Ki Mun has earned his second mandate on blood of Libyan people. It is the first time in history of the United Nations that one GS took a prominent role in plot and coup against one sovereign state, a valuable member of  UN, with its own wealth and without debts, and it is the first time that it happened so openly.

Possessing nuclear weapons is the only guarantee against humanitarian terrorists.
