AMERICA AS SVENGALI

SVENGALI: a person who with evil intent manipulates others into doing what he desires.

What's happening now in Libya clearly demonstrates how the United States manipulates others into doing its dirty work — in this case, how America has manipulated France and Britain (along with a few of its Arab satrapies) to "take the lead" in "re-capturing" Libya and making it a compliant client-state in the American New World Order System.

As journalist Barry Grey puts it:

"The aim of the US-backed intervention is precisely to abort any genuine revolution and install a regime even more subservient to Washington and the oil companies. Libya is then to become a base of military and political operations to suppress the revolutionary upsurge of suppressed people throughout North Africa and the Middle East."

The US attempted to mask the central position it is playing in all of this by delaying the announcement by French President Sarkozy that the "allied" intervention had begun until President Obama was out of the country and on his way to Brazil — presumably demonstrating the secondary role the US was supposedly playing in all of this.

But just in case the Brits and the French could not play the "leading role" they had been assigned by the United States, the American super-carrier Enterprise and its attendant "battle group" was deployed off Libya as a backstop to the French and the British.

The USS Enterprise; the Enterprise battle group includes submarines and surface ships armed with Tomahawk cruise missiles. The naval force includes some 1,200 Marines and dozens of helicopters.

Needless to say, among the Arab "masses" (as opposed to America's Arab puppet-state regimes) there is deep opposition to America's intervention there.

President Harry Truman

Attempting to justify the military intervention on humanitarian grounds, Obama — who has himself been transformed into nothing more than a reluctant mouthpiece of America's oil elites - said,

"Innocent civilians were beaten, imprisoned, and in some cases killed. Peaceful protests were forcefully put down. Hospitals were attacked and patients disappeared. A campaign of intimidation and repression began." [Please see our article, "Are US Presidents Afraid of the CIA."]

Grey continues:

"Gaddafi, who until a month ago enjoyed the warmest relations with the US and the European powers, is no doubt guilty of such crimes. But Obama's words aptly describe the actions of other regimes in the region that retain US backing: On the same day as Obama's speech, Yemeni President Saleh's forces shot into a mass demonstration, killing scores of protesters, and the monarchy of Bahrain, home of the US Fifth Fleet, collaborated with Saudi troops to mow down demonstrators and jail opposition leaders, as well as invading hospitals and beating doctors.

"Obama's hypocrisy reached its climax when he declared: 'The change in the region will not and cannot be imposed by the United States or any foreign power; ultimately, it will be driven by the people of the Arab world. It is their right and their responsibility to determine their own destiny.'"

YEMEN is under a state of emergency after at least 41 protesters were killed and another 200 injured. Witnesses said pro-regime "thugs" on rained bullets from rooftops around a square at Sanaa University, the centre of demonstrations against beleaguered Yemen president Ali Abdullah Saleh. A correspondent saw protesters rush into the surrounding buildings and throw six alleged gunmen from the rooftops.

But only hours earlier, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had made clear that the aim of the military action was precisely to dictate the removal of Gaddafi. Dismissing an announcement by the Libyan foreign secretary of a cease-fire as mere "words," Clinton called the impending air strikes and establishment of a no-fly zone to be only "a step" in a process whose "final result" would have to be "the decision by Colonel Gaddafi to leave."

Speaking from the White House Friday, one day after the United Nations Security Council authorized US-NATO air strikes and "all necessary measures" against the military forces of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, President Barack Obama issued an ultimatum paving the way for the launching of a new war in North Africa.

Obama demanded that Gaddafi immediately implement a cease-fire with rebel forces based in the eastern city of Benghazi, pull his troops back from Ajdabiya, Misrata and Zawiyah, reestablish water, electricity and gas supplies to all areas, and allow humanitarian assistance "to reach the Libyan people."

Mustafa Abdul Jalil – leader of the National Transitional Council

"Let me be clear," Obama said, "these terms are not negotiable. These terms are not subject to negotiation. If Gaddafi does not comply with the [UN] resolution, the international community will impose consequences, and the resolution will be enforced through military action."

As Obama well knows, the Libyan dictator cannot accept such terms. The US and its European allies define "humanitarian assistance" to include the use of Western military and security forces, and the leadership of the rebel National Transitional Council, consisting largely of former Gaddafi cronies, is firmly in the US camp. Acceding to these demands would be tantamount be ceding control of the country and accepting either the breakup of Libya or its reduction to the status of a sniveling client-state in the American new World Order System.

Ensuring the supply of water, electricity and gas to all regions, moreover, is likely beyond the capacities of the Gaddafi regime, even were it inclined to do so. It is, of course, ironic that Obama should make such a demand of Libya when eight years after the US invasion and occupation of Iraq, large parts of that devastated country remain without reliable supplies of the same necessities.

What's happening now in Libya represents part of America's efforts to co-opt the revolt by the people of the Islamic world against their puppet-state status in America's New World Order System. [Please see our article, "What's Happening Now in Egypt."]

IN THE END, OF COURSE, IT WILL NOT WORK. Both Egypt and Libya are listed as principle opponents against the United States in the upcoming Gog / Magog War. [Please see Chapter XV in the New Antipas Papers, "The Gog / Magog War."]
