Libyens NTC-gäng (eller vad ska man kalla den där maktlösa gruppen som Västvärlden tillsatt som regering i Libyen?) har nyligen kungjort ett antal nya lagar:

1) Alla som var med och störtade Ghadafiregimen får amnesti för vad de gjorde under ”revolutionen”, militär, säkerhetsmän och civila.
2) Det är kriminellt och kommer att straffas med fängelse, att på något sätt prisa eller glorifiera Ghadafi, hans idéer, hans regim eller någon i hans familj.
3) Om rapporter, rykten eller propaganda skadar staten straffas detta med livstids fängelse.
4) Den som ”attackerar” 17:e februarirevolutionen, uttrycker sig förklenande om islam eller om statens auktoritet straffas med fängelse,

Sedan tidigare har det också klargjorts att ingen som arbetat för Ghadafis regim får ställa upp i det val som ska hållas så småningom.

Ingen yttrande- och tankefrihet där inte.
Så ser en sann av Västvärlden och Nato skapad demokrati ut. (1)

Sen är det ju en annan sak, som sagt, att det där gänget, som utfärdat dessa lagar, inte har någon reell makt över de flesta människorna i Libyen, eftersom makten reellt ligger hos ett otal antal beväpnade miliser som fortsätter att strida inbördes och att terrorisera, tortera och döda människor.(2) Dessutom börjar en del av dem att förklara sina delar av landet självständiga. Dessa miliser verkar inte heller så måna om det vi kallar demokrati eller om rätten att bilda fackföreningar.

(Citat 1:  The U.S. Army Command (AFRICOM) has an increasing presence across the region. ”We’re looking for ways in which we can be helpful,” says AFRICOM commander Gen. Carter Ham.
Citat 2:”Libya in general is part of AFRICOM’s sphere, and I think the Libyan government really welcomes the idea of a robust military to military relationship with the U.S.,” the official adds. ”They appreciate the value added having a strong relationship with the U.S., so we are just in the very initial phases now of figuring out what that means.”
Citat 3: 13h/ Just so u know, most of the western propaganda used to start the ”revolution” was targeting the youth of Libya, and tried to engineer their opinion and spark a ”Che Gevara rebellion spirit” among kids, which was not so difficult to do, cause teenagers are easiest target for that and most likely to catch the bait (our friends from Serbia say it was the same situation there in 2000.)

- Syria’s Uprising in Context, Stephen Gowans, What’s Left 10/2 2012(Citat: The US State Department complains that Syria has “failed to join an increasingly interconnected global economy,” which is to say, has failed to turn over its state-owned enterprises to private investors, among them Wall Street financial interests. The State Department is aggrieved that “ideological reasons” continue to prevent the Assad government from liberalizing Syria’s economy. As a result of the Ba’athists’ ideological fixation on socialism, “privatization of government enterprises is still not widespread.” The economy “remains highly controlled by the government.”….The US Library of Congress country study on Syria refers to “the socialist structure of the government and economy,” points out that “the government continues to control strategic industries,” mentions that “many citizens have access to subsidized public housing and many basic commodities are heavily subsidized,” and that “senior regime members” have “hampered” the liberalization of the economy. All in all, Syria remains too much like the socialist state the Arab Socialist Ba’ath Party founders envisaged for it, and too little like a platform for increasing the profits of overseas banks, investors and corporations. Accordingly, its regime of self-directed, independent, economic development must be changed. ……Importantly, what would likely follow Assad’s ouster is hardly to be embraced: A country thrown into chaos by competing militias and warlords, where torture and the systematic extermination of the old regime’s supporters run rampant, as has characterized post-Gaddafi Libya, or the installation of a US puppet regime to facilitate the exploitation of Syria’s land, labor and resources by Western captains of industry and titans of finance. )
