A
comment on Ben Galbone’s response to a speech by
the leader of the Libyan Jews in the United
Kingdom
If the analysis by Sheik
Mohammed Ben Galbone, The Chairman of the Libyan
Constitutional Union, in his response letter to
the head of the Libyan Jewish Community in the
UK (which was published both in Arabic and in
English in Al-Hayat newspaper, 9th
Jan 06, and subsequently shown on this website,
links below) is wholly or partly correct, the
implications for the concerned parties and
various stake holders are both great and grave.
The analysis and weight of evidence provide more
than just a strong argument or a hypothesis.
The cited supporting evidence is overwhelming
and terrifying (to us the Libyans) in the
extreme. Given the nature and complexities of
the case and the convoluted measures taken to
conceal engineered scheme as naturally expected
developments in a typical third world country,
the analysis is as close as it can be to a
straight and ugly series of facts laid bare.
According to the analysis in
Sheik Ben Galbone’s letter, it transpires that
the disastrous political events in Libya since
the discovery of oil in the early sixties could
well be engineered steps in a kind of an open
conspiracy to eventually prepare the country
for exploitation by the Zionist movement to meet
its economic needs and further fulfil its
political aspirations in the area. The 1969
coup d’Etat, it now seems decidedly
plausible, was no more than a step in the series
of contrived wrecking rounds to ruin the
country’s economy, its infrastructure and its
international reputation and prepare the ground
for full exploitation. Put plainly the plan
was, when it became clear that Libya’s desert
hid vast amounts of oil, it was decided to make
it ready for eventual take over as a resource.
The process began by confusing its weak
governments in the mid sixties, paint them and
the society as anti-Semitic and facilitate mass
exodus of the Libyan Jewish families with
nothing more than a little possessions in a
small suitcase and twenty pounds.
The more drastic phase began with facilitating
the crowning of the Colonel and letting him
loose to reign supreme experimenting with weird
ideas, squander the oil returns on completely
worthless projects and demonise the population
to strip away all traces of future sympathy and
respect by the outside world.
There will not be many
observers who never suspected that Libya’s mess
is abnormal even for a consequence of a coup
d’Etat. But it is still painful to suddenly
now watch a live play of an open conspiracy
for our country with the code revealed. It is
as if the foreign language of a horror movie is
suddenly switched to a comprehensible speak
adding much to the impact of the frightening
scenes.
The painted scene of the
conspiracy feels painful for many reasons. The
coup and subsequent disastrous years now
appear much worse than once suspected and
stretching Gaddafi’s time in power is a key
element of the plan. The thwarted many attempts
to dislodge Gaddafi from power suddenly include
different possibilities to merely an efficient
secret service surveillance that applied
absolutely the precautionary principle. Outside
the country, the systematic containment and
eventual haemorrhaging of the energy of the
Libyan opposition over the past 25 years could
now be explained with greater simplicity that
also explained the why part of the
question. Along the way in haemorrhaging
process, opportunities and manpower were wasted
and the value of the Libyan Constitution as an
opposition armour has been savagely compromised
(alas by the help of many of the opposition
notable figures).
Regrettably, the institutions
of the biggest power on earth in our time, have
been so completely recruited in the scheming of
an unscrupulous and ruinous journey for Libya
with the deliberate intent to wreck it and lay
ready for taking.
At this point, in the light
of what we now understand from the analysis in
Sheik Ben Galbone’s article, it is reasonable to
suggest that concerned parties will (should)
find it difficult to avoid taking clear stands.
Most must think that something should be done to
divert this evil plan or at least slow it down a
bit in the hope that the wind of international
events may become in our favour.
It is not expected that
Colonel Gaddafi will be moved by the realisation
that the 1969 coup d’Etat was no more
than a planned step in a series of contrived
wrecking rounds to bring the country to its
knees. No change is anticipated here.
However, the rest of the
Libya opposition and the Libya Jews come to mind
as parties with potential influence and
certainly with major interest in the case. If
past experiences are taken as indicators, the
former party will probably find plenty of time
to debate various aspects of the issue (after
several years of time delay of course) to invent
alternative understandings and definition of key
aspects. The syndrome of “not invented here”
will divert attention away from the case. There
is little hope of any other course of action
remotely relevant to taking the case forward and
perhaps making it at least a little difficult
for scheme to advance further at its present
speed.
However, the Libyan Jews are
a party to the Libyan case now in a distinctive
and unique new way. In addition to suffering
the loss of a country, home and normal living
like the rest of us, they, it is now obvious,
were deliberately expropriated to build a
case of mal treatment and anti-Semitism against
the old Libyan government. Whatever loyalties
the Libyan Jews may entertain, it will
presumably be difficult for their leaders not to
ask some hard questions. Unlike any other
community or grouping of Libyan origin, they are
the only party who at present have the ears of
just about everyone who matters in this case.
The choice of whether to continue accepting
being (inadvertently) an element of the plot or,
as invited in Sheik Ben Galbone’s letter, join
forces with the Libyan Constitutional Union and
press for an enquiry into the case to expose its
hideous origins and shame those who cruelly
engineered it and save the country’s
independence, must be a difficult one.
One is talking about a
country and a home in the grips of merciless
planners who will not relent and nothing else
matter, not even it seems, the Libyan Jews.
This should overcome any inhibitions of
becoming involved as Libyans with a clear stand
to save the country while there is a little
chance left (very little).
