Africans Will Remember Gaddafi For One Important Achievement

Brother Leader Muammar Gaddafi, our hero

By Honourable Saka

Gaddafi connected the entire African continent by telephone, television and radio broadcasting.
 

“Gaddafi's creation of the African Investment Bank in Sirte (Libya) and the African Monetary Fund to be based in Cameroon will supplant the IMF and undermine Western economic hegemony in Africa.”

—Gerald Pereira, an executive board member of the former Tripoli-based World Mathaba

The good people of Africa  will remember Gaddafi, for  least one honest thing he did: he laid a strong foundation for a viable and affordable telecommunication services across Africa at a time when Africans were completely disconnected from the world with exorbitant cost of telecommunication services. At least, for those of us who appreciate the value of communication in today's businesses, in keeping relationships and families alive and as the basis of our technological revolution, we believe Gaddafi gave to the African people, all it takes to keep up with today's modern life and to make it in the 21st century as a people.

Hate him or Like him Gaddafi is a true African hero. Don't get me wrong. I am not by any means suggesting that Gaddafi was a saint. He was a human being and like any human (yourselves and myself included), he had his shortfalls. The same thing can be said about Kwame Nkrumah, and many other great revolutionaries who ever lived in human history.

We are dully aware of countless of Gaddafi's shortfalls. But we cannot allow this to blindfold us completely to many of his kind gestures and the positive implications such gestures is having on the live of the entire African continent today in our modern technological revolution.

In case you didn't know it was Gaddafi’s Libya that offered all of Africa its first revolution in modern times – connecting the entire continent by telephone, television, radio broadcasting and several other technological applications such as telemedicine and distance teaching. And thanks to the WMAX radio bridge, a low cost connection was made available across the continent, including in rural areas. Because of this, Africans of today can also watch TV in HD (high definition), communicate with people anywhere in the world with high tech telecommunication satellites, browse at a reduced price and to enjoy the services of modern telecommunication devices at a highly reduced price.

It is an established fact that, before Gaddafi brought this revolution to the African people, telephone calls made to Africa and out of Africa were the most expensive in the entire world! Many couldn't make international calls that could last for more than 5 minutes. The bill for such a call was really expensive.

Just imagine having brothers and sisters, parents and friends anywhere outside your  country, who cannot keep a close touch with the family because of exorbitant cost of communication. I remember when mobile phone services first came to Africa, to my country (Ghana to be precise), it was too expensive to make local calls. People were not even allowed the opportunity to beep or flash for free. There was nothing like free calls or free browsing.

If it was too expensive to flash/beep a local number, how could one dare to make an international call that could last?

Those were the days when it was only a few wealthy Africans living in Europe and America who could make calls to Africa. It was completely impossible for the ordinary African to make phone calls that could last, because Africa did not have our own communication satellites and we had to rely on using the services of European satellites. Since we had no way of escape, our European masters were charging Africans too much (hundreds of millions of dollars) for this services.

But today in Africa, many people including the young ones are using two or three smart phones and can make free local and international calls that can last over 30 minutes in most cases. As for browsing internet, it is now unlimited! Young Africans can now stay on the internet, browsing the social networks for a whole day. They're are the first to hear of breaking news from the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. Today Africans are using the internet and telecommunication services like never before to stay in touch and get connected. Has anybody taken the pain to even consider how many Africans could enjoy this opportunity if it was not for Gaddaf's bold contribution?

It began in 1992, when 45 African nations established RASCOM (Regional African Satellite Communication Organization) so that Africa would have its own satellite and slash communication costs in the continent. This was a time when phone calls to and from Africa were the most expensive in the world because of the annual US$500 million fee pocketed by Europe for the use of its satellites like INTELSAT for phone conversations, including those within the same country.

An African satellite only cost a one-time payment of US$400 million and the continent no longer had to pay a US$500 million every year to Europe. Which banker wouldn’t finance such a project? But the problem remained – how can slaves, seeking to free themselves from their master’s exploitation ask the master’s help to achieve that freedom? Not surprisingly, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the USA and Europe only made vague promises for 14 years.

Gaddafi was very helpful in the fight against Apatheid in South Africa

Gaddafi put an end to these futile pleas to the western ‘benefactors’ with their exorbitant interest rates. The Libyan guide put US$300 million on the table; the African Development Bank added US$50 million more and the West African Development Bank a further US$27 million – and that’s how Africa got its first communications satellite on 26 December 2007.China and Russia followed suit and shared their technology and helped launch satellites for South Africa, Nigeria, Angola, Algeria and a second African satellite was launched in July 2010. The first totally endogenously built satellite and manufactured on African soil, in Algeria, is set for 2020. This satellite is aimed at competing with the best in the world, but at ten times less the cost, a real challenge.
This is how a symbolic gesture of a mere US$300 million changed the life of an entire continent. Gaddafi’s Libya cost the West, not just depriving it of US$500 million per year but the billions of dollars in debt and interest that the initial loan would generate for years to come and in an exponential manner, thereby helping maintain an occult system in order to plunder the continent.

Youths in Kenya protest the murder of Muammar Gaddafi by NATO

This is the major reason why European and American leaders hated Gaddafi and were therefore looking for any opportunity to murder him at all cost. They therefore resorted to terror tactics, they tried to assassinate Gaddafi on many occasions but they failed. Like they're currently doing in Syria, these heartless European and American leaders decided to supply weapons to rebels they have trained to cause chaos in Libya whiles their dishonest media heartlessly blamed it on Gaddafi.

They sought for a UN resolution to then go and protect civilians, when their actual hidden intention was to go and murder Gaddafi. Surprisingly many of the then African leaders, because of their greed and selfishness had secretly accepted bribes from the European and American politicians to betray Gaddafi.

Many of them were personally invited to travel to America and Europe where they held secrete meetings with the leaders, by which they agreed to at least stay quiet and allow their puppet masters have their way in Libya. They sold out Gaddafi for a few secrete dollar and Euro accounts, accounts that are loaded with the blood of their own African brothers and sisters. Gaddafi was murdered without any single one of them (with exception of President Robert Mugabe), saying a thing. Just like Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus Christ, African leaders have now regretted their actions, while the African people pay the price (with their lives) for what happened in Libya.

Tripoli before NATO's invasion

But to us the African youth, we will not be ungrateful. We will remember Gaddafi, not because he was a saint, but because we know it was him who helped us to be able to fully enjoy the sweetness of the 21st century's unlimited telecommunications services at highly reduced prices. Any time our mobile phones shall ring, anytime we connect to the internet, we will do so with Gaddafi in our minds.

To our Libyan brothers and sisters who are still caught up in this war which is aimed at stealing your oil resources and to completely destroy Gaddafi's legacy in the county, we want to assure you that you have not been forgotten. We are still praying for peace to be restored in your country for you to enjoy the resources of your motherland

Unfortunately, it is our leaders who have failed you. But we the African people love you and we pray for the day when you will receive all that truly belongs to you.

Long live Brother Leader, Muammar Gaddafi

Long live the Libyan Jamahiriya revolution

Long live Africa!

French Elections: Could a False Flag Save Ungrateful Sarkozy?

A Photo which Sarkozy doesn`t want the world to see. Sarkozy accepted 50 million euros from Libya for his election campaign in violation of French electoral laws. Mathaba Analyst Honourable Saka reports.

By Honourable Saka

What is a False Flag Operation?

False flag operations are covert operations conducted by governments, or other organizations, which are designed to deceive the public in such a way that the operations appear as if they are being carried out by other entities (terrorists). The name is derived from the military concept of flying false colours; that is, flying the flag of an enemy country. False flag operations are not limited to war and counter-insurgency operations, and have been used in peace-time and elections periods to divide, manipulate, and control public opinions using fear, propaganda, disinformation, psychological warfare, agents provocateurs among others.

The term comes from the old days of wooden ships, when one ship would hang the flag of its enemy before attacking another ship in its own navy. Because the enemy's flag was hung instead of the flag of the real country of the attacking ship, it was called a "false flag" attack.

Western Elections & Terrorism (False Flags)

It has been observed that whenever election periods draw closer in most parts of the world, especially in Eastern Europe and America, “terrorism” and “False Flag” attacks dominate the headlines, causing fear and panic in the minds of the electorates. This often happens because, many political leaders after miserably failing to deliver on their political promises, usually have no means of winning a second term. The terror card therefore plays a major role in diverting the voters’ attention from real issues. This is why most false flags and “terrorists” attacks often happen at a time when a sitting president is campaigning for re-election. However, it must be clarified that it is usually those leaders who had become unpopular before the elections that usually benefits from such terrorists attacks.

There is no doubt that a few real but unusual terrorist attacks happen in some parts of the world. A typical example is the recent shooting incidence which happened in Afghanistan, where about 16 people were slaughtered by a US soldier. There is also the terrorist activities that have been happening across Syria, Iraq and other places in Central Africa especially Somalia. Those terrorists’ attacks occur almost on a daily basis and have nothing whatsoever to do with elections. In most cases, the real terrorists’ attacks escape the headlines of the mainstream media.

However, many intelligence agencies have suggested that majority of the terrorists attacks that dominate the mainstream news are nothing but false flags.

“Our Intel sources consistently inform us that 85% of all terrorist attacks are state sponsored and with western nations deeply involved in using false flag tools for exploiting their own publics, one has to look at any such attacks with opened eyes”, -Jim Dean, editor of veterans today.com

The Sarkozy-Gaddafi Connection, a Threat to Political Ambitions

The frustration of the Sarkozy’s campaign team is yet to suffer another blow as more embarrassing evidence gradually unfolds at a time when the presidential candidate desperately needs his integrity to remain intact.

It could be remembered that just a few weeks before the French presidential elections, Mediapart, a French news website published an embarrassing document which appeared to prove that  the government of the late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi agreed to fund President Nicolas Sarkozy's 2007 election campaign with an estimated amount of $66m. According to the published documents, the final “terms” for handing over the money were agreed in a meeting between the two men in Libya, in the year 2005, two years before Mr Sarkozy’s was finally elected.

At the time Mr Sarkozy was France’s interior minister with well-documented ambitions to succeed Jacques Chirac. However, Sarkozy was financially weak and needed a strong financial support that could propel him to the highest office. Therefore Gaddafi’s sponsorship package of a huge $66m (€50m) was too good to resist. However it must be understood that, during this period, it was completely illegal for presidential candidates in France to receive cash payments above a mere €7,500 (£6,300). This means that Sarkozy received 6,666 times the amount allowed by law.

Mediapart insists that the €50 million mentioned in the memo were laundered through bank accounts in Panama and Switzerland. If this allegation turns out to be true, it would mean that the president will have passed through illegal channels to propel himself to the highest office.

In fact, the actual allegations that Gaddafi had financed Sarkozy’s presidential campaign was made by Gaddafi himself in March 2011, shortly before France went on to play a leading role in NATO's bombing campaign in Libya, a “humanitarian” mission which turned out to be an assassination campaign. In addition, Saif-al Islam Gaddafi, a son of Muammar Gaddafi, strongly insisted somewhere last year that Libya had actually funded Mr Sarkozy’s election and that they have all the documents to prove it. "We funded it and we have all the details and are ready to reveal everything," he said, threatening to publicize the details.

As expected, the news suddenly smashed Sarkozy’s approval rating in the polls to the point where as a candidate; he stood a high chance of becoming a one-term president. In fact, the first news came as a big blow to Sarkozy’s integrity because the allegation was published at a time when France was seen leading the NATO campaign that was aimed at the assassination of Gaddafi and the overthrowing of the Libyan Jamahiriya without any justification. The published document also came at a time when France is again working with NATO’s rebels in their determination to oust President Assad and replace him with the same terrorist group who are killing NATO’s soldiers in the Middle East.  No matter how anyone looks at this development, the fact still remains that Sarkozy’s entire campaign team never saw this blow coming.

Al-Qaeda Suddenly Strikes in France

As the Sarkozy team were likely to be defeated in the mist of all these damaging revelations, something had to happen and very fast in order to rescue the president for him to finish playing his part in the globalists’New World Order agenda. In this scenario, it was only a real terrorist attack or perhaps a “False Flag” attack that could save the president. Fortunately or unfortunately, the recent reports of a shooting incident by an alleged “Al-Qaeda” terrorist which dominated the news headlines overshadowed the Sarkozy-Gaddafi dilemma. Indeed, it was a tragedy that saved the president from a humiliating defeat.

Immediately after the incident, Mr Sarkozy was seen giving speeches in his capacity as president while earning the support and the sympathy of the electorates who would be going to the polls in just a few days’ time. Most importantly, the French leader likened the Toulouse shooting incidence to “9/11” and vowed to “crackdown” on the terrorists. Within just a few days of speeches upon speeches, his approval rating rose from an all-time low of about 13% to nearly 40%.

The Telegraph reports that the attacks of the supposedly al-Qaeda radical will play into the election bid of National Front candidate Marine Le Pen, who is unlikely to ever become the president of France. “It has, however, provided Nicholas Sarkozy with a pretext to put the southern part of the nation on high alert and cancel the campaigns of presidential contenders”, writes Paul Joseph Watson. In fact even in some areas where Sarkozy’s support base had hit all-time low, political rallies and all forms of campaigns were banned while the president was seen delivering speeches in these areas in his determination to unite them behind him.

“Meanwhile, other slaughters (NATO) continue day after day with hardly a footnote of international concern, writes a Ph.D philosopher Ann Kreilkamp.

One political analyst puts it: “With the French elections coming up, no doubt Sarkozy will win the support and sympathy of the people. Afterwards any action against Syria or Iran will have full backing by the French citizens in wake of this. The war on terror which France has threatened many times to quit will suddenly begin to earn the support of the people”.

This support however was not enough to win him the elections in a first round before the same allegations that saw his approval rating declining, is beginning to dominate the headlines once again.

So What Happens Next? Another False Flag?

With the reports of Gaddafi’s financial contribuitions to Sarkozy’s presidential bid dominating the headlines once again, at a time when the president thought it was all over, it is very difficult to imagine what option could save him this time round.

A memo obtained by Mediapart on Sarturday (28^th April, 2012) appears to present a much stronger evidence which will definitely give the president something embarrassing to worry about. The document suggests that a meeting on October 6, 2005 resulted in “campaign financing” of “NS [Nicolas Sarkozy]” being “totally paid”. The document has resurfaced at a particularly sensitive time for Sarkozy, who lost the first round of the French presidential vote and is currently trailing his Socialist rival Francois Hollande in the polls, reports RT.

The current document published on Saturday offers the most concrete proof yet of the illegal campaign financing allegations. The document, as reported, was provided by former high officials from Libya "a few days ago". If this confidential information turns out to be authentic, it could be the last straw that broke the camel's back. In such a scenario, it will take another terrorist attack or probably a “False Flag” to rescue the president from losing his presidential ambitions. The world must therefore wake up and never allow ourselves to be duped.

Finally, as many elections will soon be held across Europe and America, the world need to watch out for many more false flag attacks. Because this is the only option many of them have left. After all, many of them are equally unpopular but have shown no indication to relinquish power.

I was therefore very pleased last night (28th April 2012) when I heard Dr Ron Paul warning the American people to watch out, for a possible False Flag. Because he knows the US elections are just around the corner. Let us together stay vigilant and say NO to false flags. Because it is the mark of desperate politicians who use fear and panic as the cheapest way to win elections, using the deaths and injuries of innocents to do so.
