Looting begins (in the name of democracy)

While his fate is unknown at this point (public or hidden retirement, being taken on trial, being behaded by the "rebels" with the smiling approval of the "civilized" world...), what is clear now is that Gaddafi is over.

What a beautiful world, thousands of peoples have been murdered by NATO bombs and the NATO sponsored "rebels", the infrastructures of a modern country completly destroyed (and waiting for reconstruction, what a yummi cake!), a harsh division of the country between pro and anti-"rebels" that sure will burden the country for many years... but hey, they've got ridden of the dictator and democracy is waiting. Once again the Global powers have done their duty, spreading democracy and freedom to one more "dark corner" of the world. "Freedom", a pretty depreciated concept.

For Global powers Freedom means Democracy, and that's pretty easy to understand, Democracy nowadays is such a convenient form of government... it's the easiest way to keep masses "happpy", silent, calm and conform. There's not better way to prevent someone from seeking something than making him believe that he already has it. "You're free", you're allowed to choose your government, you're allowed to represent you community by entering the political system, and bla, bla, bla...
Yes, you're allowed to choose between the political parties, but only those that the Global powers fund, you're free to choose between the different lies spread by the Mass Media owned by the Global powers, you're free to receive decent education and decent medical care if you can afford it...

It wouldn't have to be that way, sure democracy could be a good system of government, but the problem is that in the last decades, every new place that has been "awarded" with democracy has received it with one more extra gift, "Brutal Capitalism". Yes, since a long while Democracy comes hand in hand with Neoliberlism and capitalism, so Democracy has turned out being a poisoned gift for so many countries.
Take a look at Soviet Union, is the average Russian better now (not being able to send his kids to the University, spending half of his income in the rent of a dilapidated flat...) than in the Soviet times?, take a look at Serbia, take a look at Ukraine or Romania, think about those young Eastern women forced to leave their country (so democratic now) to sell their bodies in some mafia owned brothel in one of our so democratic countries...

If democracy is so important for "our leaders" it's odd that it has taken them 40 years to come to the realization that Libya should be democratized by any means (like Irak...), and it's even more strange that Syrians do not deserve that brilliant fate (or what to say about Somalia, where if Islamists had been wiped out and a functional government established it would be a bit easier now to deal with the current famine)...
Of course, there's a clear difference, profit, or let's put it clear booty. Same as Iraq was, Lybia is a wealthy country, and as such, a highly desirable prey for global capitalism. It's not just taking over the oil deposits, it's the reconstruction process. How many millions will be spent in rebuilding all the infrastrutures destroyed by the NATO forces? Libya has a huge flow of petrodollars, so let's suck it dry!

There's an important point to notice about the NATO war on Libya:
Contrary to what happened with Iraq, there's been hardly any visible opposition to this war among the different "progressist" groups in the Western world. Sounds odd, cause I still have fresh in my mind the images of the huge demonstrations against the invasion of Iraq... So what?, well, Global Powers learned a lesson from the "Weapons of Mass Deception" thing. For many people solidarity is above fear, so trying to terrorize people with an imminent threat (biological weapons, nuclear weapons, terrorism...) does not work when they know that the "remedy" to that unlikely threat means dragging millions of people into the very certain horrors of war. But there's an easy workaround, let's put the victims on our side. Let's create a group of "freedom fighters" (the so called "rebels") and let's say that these honorable freedom advocates are being slaughtered by the dictator (yes, that's true, Gaddafi was getting rid of the "rebels" with violence, as he had always done, but the same violence that they had started off with). The trap is ready, and most "progressist" Westerns will take the bait, who could oppose the helpful actions of the "Keepers of peace" trying to help "freedom fighters" and civilians against the awful dictator...?
There's been no questioning among the mass, few people seemed to care about who the "rebels" are, about what would come next if they seized power... Well, the "rebels" are a mix of Radical Islamist (wahhabists, salafists... all that scum that hates us, Westerns, so much), monarchists, some progressist pro-Western Lybians (but don't worry, they'll have little to say in the future government, probably as the Iranian Ayatolah did with the Communists after the "Islamic Revolution", they'll get smashed by the "beardies") and finally, a wide group of opportunists initially on Gaddafi's side that switched sides as they realized that the Regime had little to do against all the NATO machinery...

Well, at least we can think of the positive things of this senseless destruction:
the economies of those more involved in this shameless war: France, USA, UK, Spain... will get a boost with all the contracts to sign to rebuild Lybia. Anyway, sure they'll tell us that boost is not enough to stop the cutbacks to the Education System, Health System... well underway in most of Europe...
I bet it'll take just a few months to have the first Hollywood Blockbuster telling the story of the "heroes of Tripoli"...

World of shit... well, I better end this here and go to sleep...
