ASTRID ESSED ABOUT IRAN, VENEZUELA AND DONALD TRUMP/ATTACK?/
WILL HE OR WON’T HE?
[Written from a discussion with a friend]
Because of the shocking and enormous quickness of events, no
footnotes here,
Maybe later.
Or perhaps in another comment or piece.
READERS
THIS IS MY ANALYSIS
Of course I could be wrong.
LET’S BEGIN!
This is-for what’s worth-my short analysis about the US/Iran situation.
We don’t have to talk about the human rights issue-
I am convinced of the fact, that the Iranian leaders have violated
human rights on a large scale, but the USA are the last in the World
to condemn others because of a human rights situation, since the USA is
one of the biggest human rights violators, domestic and abroad.
And people who live in glass houses [as States] shouldn’t throw stones!
The USA have committed more human rights violations and atrocities
then the Iranian leaders ever did!
THAT’S ONE
Further I will always be grateful to the Iranian leaders for their unwavering
support to Palestine, which can’t be said from many Arab leaders!
ATTACK ON IRAN
But I sincerely doubt if the USA will really launch a military operation
on Iran.
LOOK!
Trump is a Bully.
And like most Bullies: A Coward.
The more submissive one acts, the more you want to please him,
the more insolent he becomes.
That’s why the pathetic and submissive EU tactics regarding Greenland
will not work.
Trump and his Club only respect those who Bully the Bully.
Iran and Venezuela are countries of that calibre.
But there is more:
Trump doesn’t want a full scale military confrontation with Iran,
because Iran is militant and determined to fight, when necessary
and the army and militia’s are loyal to the present leaders.
AND MAKE NO MISTAKE:
Iran has nuclear weapons and that nuclear arsenal is NOT
broken, even after the US and Israeli military attacks.
Iran has clever guys and the know how to repair what’s destroyed.
And the recent large scale protests diminish because of the hard oppression.
VENEZUELA
In Venezuela Trump didn’t choose large scale military confrontation either.
Okay:
He launched a limited military operation and kidnapped the sitting president Maduro and his wife, but the Venezuelan ARMY is still intact and loyal
to the present  Venezuelan leaders.
HERE THE SAME THING:
Trump doesn’t care at all about human rights, fair elections, etc
ALL HE CARES ABOUT IS OIL AND RARE EARTH METALS.
AND STRATEGIC LOCATION FOR US ”NATIONAL SECURITY”
That’s why he wants Greenland so badly.
It will be the same with Iran.
Probably Trump will have control over the Iranian oil and also he shall
want to neutralize Iran as a [justified] enemy of Zionist Entity Israel.
The last won’t work, but perhaps the first will by favorable oil deals.
CONCLUSION:
TRUMP WANTS NO LARGE SCALE MILITARY CONFRONTATION,
NOT WITH VENEZUELA AND NOT WITH IRAN, BECAUSE IN
BOTH COUNTRIES THE ARMY IS LOYAL TO THE LEADERS
BECAUSE
THOSE ARE NO COUNTRIES, THAT GO WITHOUT A FIGHT
BECAUSE
OIL IS TRUMP’S MAIN CONCERN, NOT NECESSARILY A REGIME
CHANGE.
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST
[Excuse my vulgarity]
TRUMP DOESN’T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT HUMAN RIGHTS!
HE ONLY CARES ABOUT TRUMP RIGHTS.
That was the News..
For now.
We can’t wait to see what happens!
WHO’S NEXT?
GREENLAND?
LIMITED MILITARY ATTACK ON IRAN [Because he can
still launch a limited military attack]

LIBYA: REJECT ”POLITICAL ISOLATION LAW”

Provisions for Exclusion Too Vague, Sweeping

 

Press release

MAY 4, 2013
Libyans have a right to expect that officials who abused their positions under Gaddafi to commit crimes or violate human rights will be removed and never again allowed to hold public office.
Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East and North Africa director

(Beirut) – Libya’s General National Congress (GNC) should vote down the latest draft of a new law to bar Gaddafi-era officials from holding public office. The proposed law’s provisions and procedures for exclusion are too sweeping and vague, Human Rights Watch said. Further, a recent amendment to the provisional constitution would prohibit judicial review of the law. A vote is expected in congress on May 5, 2013.

Libya 2011/The death of Gaddafi/The National Transitional Council’s bloody path

 

THE DEATH OF GADDAFI/THE NATIONAL TRANSITIONAL COUNCIL’S BLOODY PATH

by Astrid Essed Friday, Nov. 25, 2011 at 6:23 PM

 

The resistance against the former president Gaddafi was legitimate. However, the rebels not

only allied with the NATO, sacrifying real Libyan independence, they also commit warcrimes with little

distinction between them and Gaddafi.

 

 

DEATH OF GADDAFI/THE NATIONAL TRANSITIONAL COUNCIL’S BLOODY PATH

”Everyone is entitled in full equality to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, in the determination of his rights and obligations and of any criminal charge against him. ”

Article 10, Universal Declaration of Human Rights

http://www.ohchr.org/EN/UDHR/Pages/Language.aspx?LangID=eng

””It is forbidden to kill or injure an enemy who surrenders or who is hors de combat ”

Article 2, Basic rules of International Humanitarian Law in armed conflicts

http://www.icrc.org/eng/resources/documents/misc/basic-rules-ihl-311288.htm

The prohibition on executions without trial [summary executions] AND the obligation
to treat prisoners of war humanely is confirmed by article 3, 3th Geneva Convention

INTRODUCTION:

After 42 years the dictatorship of Gaddafi has come to an end
However, the new rulers don’t deserve any benefit of the doubt
They didn’t trust on the strength of the Libyan people and made alliance with the NATO
which only serve Western interests
With a pro Western regime, the Libyan people can forget any real independence and
social advancement
Regarding human rights they made a bloody beginning with the apparent extrajudicial
execution of Gaddafi and his son Mutassim
Prisoners have been tortured and humiliated
There are vehement racist attacks on African migrant workers and black Libyans
When the situation stays this and those responsible for torture and violence
don’t face prosecution, the former Gaddafi dictatorship will be followed by a next one
