Libyan Rebels enter Gaddafi’s residence inside the military compound, SCUD missiles launched

Some unconfirmed reports out of Libya: Rebels have entered the Libyan government military compound in Tripoli, and NATO claims the Libyan army launched SCUD missiles.

Unfortunately announcements by rebels, in the past, have a poor track record of truth.  But there are many reports that they’ve broken into the large military compound in Tripoli, and one report said they made it inside Gaddafi’s office.

Another report says Muammar Muhammad al-Gaddafi is not in the compound.

Other reports say the Libyan army fired SCUD missiles at Misrata. Those reports come from NATO.  They “confirm” that at least three SCUD missiles were launched.

Jane’s Defence estimates that Libya has 240 of the ballistic missiles, with a range of about 300km (186 miles).

Once again, Rebel claims concerning Gaddafi’s sons are false, Seif al Islam makes suprise apperance

Despite Libyan rebel’s claims that they detained Gaddafi’s sons, at least one escaped, another is leading counter attacks and a third just made a surprise appearance in Tripoli.

Seif al Islam showed up outside the Nixos hotel.  In a live interview with Fox News, Seif said his father is alive and well: “Yes, he is in Tripoli, he is alive and well and we are winning. The rebels have been lured into a trap and we will crush them.”

Libyan government forces frees one of Gaddafi’s sons, another son is leading the counter attack in Libya, it’s funny how Gaddafi’s sons keep coming back from the grave, and how many times Gaddafi has fled, only to be found still in Tripoli

Rebels had claimed they detained three of Muammar Muhammad al-Gaddafi’s sons.  Now one of those son’s, Mohamed Gaddafi, was rescued by the Libyan army.

Another son, Khamis Gaddafi, is leading the surprise counter attack, and has pushed rebels out of 80% of Tripoli.

I wonder how many people have realized that the western media has reported many times in the past that Gaddafi’s sons were killed by rebels?  Now we’re being told the rebels captured them in Tripoli, the very sons that had been killed.  And one of those sons is leading a counter attack.  One blogger counted 17 previous times the western media reported that Gaddafi’s sons were killed.

Also, the western media has reported many times that Gaddafi has been killed or has fled the country.  The most recent western media report said that Gaddafi was in Tunis.  Lies, lies and more lies, it turns out that Gaddafi is still in Tripoli, taking part in the counter attack.

Live reporter says NATO is behind attack on Tripoli, says NATO is trying to kill reporters who mention al-Qaeda’s involvment with rebels

“They are specifically targeting the areas where international journalists are, to sow panic here. NATO has done all the heavy work.  This is a NATO war. They heavily bombed cities west of [Tripoli], they’ve bombed all night, without even 10 seconds of stopping.  They have bombed this entire city and NATO landed the insurgents on the coast of Tripoli.”-Mahdi Nazemroaya, independent journalist

The reporter was giving a live report for the Russian media, he said he and all the journalists staying at the Nixos hotel were being shot at by NATO and rebel forces.  Gunshots could be heard in his live report from the hotel.

Pro-Gaddafi hotel staff grabbed guns and fought off the rebels: “More members of the hotel staff have returned with guns.  Obviously they have been fighting.  These are volunteers, not soldiers.  They returned with a picture which is not a picture of loss and they are confident.”

Nazemroaya says he and other journalists were told by U.S. and other Pro-western news organizations, like CNN and al Jazeara, not to mention al-Qaeda, or they would be killed.  He says many of the “western” journalists are not true journalists, but ‘security guards’ working to intimidate independent journalists.

Rebels pushed out of Tripoli, Libyan government tanks bagan rolling out of nowhere, surprising rebels, the whole of Tripoli is a trap

“I have a feeling that the government is luring the rebels in, allowing them to have fun on Green Square and then very well counter-attacking them.”-Franklin Lamb, director of Americans for Middle East Peace

Russian media says early morning, August 22, Libyan governments tanks began rolling out of hiding places, targeting surprised rebels.

Many of the tanks targeted rebels who were attacking Gaddafi’s military compound. The tanks were joined by Libyan army guntrucks.

More tanks have been spotted at the port of Tripoli.  Earlier rebels claimed the Libyan army surrendered.  Now rebels say they control only 15%-20% of Tripoli.

Also, a convoy of at least 22 Libyan army vehicles entered Tripoli and took control of the center of the city.  They are now erecting barricades.

Libyan embassy in Japan raises Rebel flag, Rebel flag clue that monarchy could return to Libya

The Libyan embassy in Japan has replaced the all green flag with the flag of the rebels.  Japanese media say the embassy staff reported that the government of Libya had changed.

The flag of the rebels is also the old flag of the Kingdom of Libya, which lasted from 1951-969.  The Kingdom of Libya fell because the king was so greedy that most of the oil wealth went to him (as well as European countries) while many Libyan’s suffered.  Some accounts show that Libyan’s suffered more under the king, than under Gaddafi.

During the time of the Kingdom, the United Kingdom was the main developer and controller of Libya’s oil.  The United Kingdom is currently one of the NATO members bombing the crap out of Libya.

The United States also maintained a huge air base, called Wheeler Air Base, in the Kingdom of Libya.

The rebel’s use of the flag of the old Kingdom of Libya suggests that this is just an attempt by Europe and the United States to regain control in North Africa.  After all, even the U.S. Marine Corps hymn mentions attacking Tripoli in the past.

Emergency Press Conference in Libya, NATO and rebel forces killed 1,300 people in past 11 hours

The Libyan government holding emergency press conference.  They say that Tripoli has been under constant attack by rebel and NATO forces for the past 11 straight hours.

They say the hospitals are full of dead and dying.  At least 1,300 residents of Tripoli are dead, another 5,000 are wounded.  Libyan officials say that is far more than what they have in military forces in Tripoli, and it is proof that U.S. led NATO does not care about civilians.

They say their hospitals are now overwhelmed, even the International Red Cross is unable to handle the situation.

The Libyan government warns that if the rebels win then Libya will be turned into another Afghanistan.  The Libyan rebels are made up of tribalists and al-Qaeda, the very thing the United States is fighting in Afghanistan (at least that’s what U.S. officials claim as the reason for being in Afghanistan).
