Italy Dragged Into US Led Military Campain In Libya

As if the unfortunate people had not, over the years since 2011, suffered enough at the hands of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton (who was the architect of the bombing campaign that led to the overthrow of President Muammar (Mad Dog) Gadaffi and the subsequent transformation of Libya for Africa's most prosperous and economically advanced nation to a chaotic failed state with three feuding governments), the Obama administration recently kicked off another military campaign in Libya, this time against ISIS, which thanks to the Obama administration's previous ill - advised intervention had made Libya the centre of its African operations.

However, not all the "coalition of the willing" are quite as willing as they were last time round.

Last week, Italian Defense Minister Roberta Pinotti confirmed that Rome was willing to allow the USA to use Italian military facilities, in particular the air base at Sigonella in Scicily to support US airstrikes against Daesh in Libya. "The government is ready to positively evaluate the issue of the use of Italian bases and airspace," Pinotti said, addressing the lower house of the Italian parliament on Wednesday.

Asked to comment on the decision, Mirko Molteni, a military journalist for Analisi Difesa magazine and the Milan-based daily newspaper Libero, told Sputnik Italia that it would undoubtedly increase the danger of terrorist attacks against Italy.

Molteni also observed that the decision to participate has put the country close to a state of war. "The problem is that Daesh has already threatened attacks on Italian territory for some time, especially against Rome, the capital of the Catholic world. The fact that Italy is making its bases available to the coalition greatly increases the threat of such attacks."

The analyst warned "this may permanently destroy the illusion that Italy is safe from the terrorists."

At the same time, Molteni noted that unfortunately, the Italian government really does not have much of a say in the US-led initiative, "Its tendency to blindly follow the great powers has become a typical trend in recent decades. Even in 2011, the Berlusconi government failed to oppose the airstrikes against the Gaddafi government initiated by French President Nicolas Sarkozy. Italy was made to tag along with Paris and Washington in this historical mistake which created the current instability in Libya."

Unfortunately, Italy's political and military servility toward the United States is rooted in nearly 70 years of history, which followed Italy's entry into the NATO alliance, Molineti added.

It Looks As If Demonising Russia Is All Discredited Hillary Clinton And Her Supporters Have Left

The reason Hillary Is In Politics (Image source: David Icke

When the bell rings, Pavlov's Dogs react to the trigger with a programmed response.

After the events, revelations and leaks (Democrat campaign computers hacked three times in a week) of the past month, the US Presidential election campaign of Hillary Clinton should lie in ruins. That it isn't may in some small way be due to the fact that her opponent is the equally unappetizing Donald Trump, but is more likely to be because mainstream media, the Hollywood attention seeker gang, (George Clowney, Brangelina, Bendydick Cumbertwat, all the usual suspects,)are solidly behind Clinton because all-join-hands-and-sing-Kumbaya.

The Clinton campaign has been getting predominantly positive coverage, while Trump's most innocuous remarks provoke screams of 'racism', 'sexism', 'homophobia. In spite of that Clinton seems unable to engage the white, working class voters who will decide the fate of the election. With the Clinton scandals refusing to go away, and each new release of leaked documents bringing to light a new scandal involving Hillary, Bill or their fraudulent 'charity' the Clinton foundation.

As a result of all this, the campaign has resorted to the oldest political tactic in the world, they have released Phobos and Diemos, the two firey stallions that pull the chariot of the war god. Phobos and Diemos or fear and panic are summoned to a cause by creating a dangerous enemy that, in the minds of citizens, threatens safety, security and prosperity.

The cumulative effect of the DNC email hack has been to trigger the Pavlov's Dogs element in the US media and political establishment to close ranks in an effort to deflect attention from the chaotic state of the Clinton campaign and the incompetence in the Democratic Party by intensifying efforts to demonise Russian President Vladimir Putin and demonise the Russian state as an real and immediate threat to American security.

And like Pavlov's Dogs, President Barack Obama, Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, the Democratic Party many among the Republican ranks, the military, security services, the press and television commentators have all jumped on the bandwagon and tried to present Putin public enemy number one. It is as if to prime the American public for war with Russia, something we have warned of before.

The project may backfire, with Donald Trump offering a non - interventionist foreign policy and Americans sick of Obama's wars (some of which were inherited from his predecessor) the old ‘we are bombing civilians out of a humanitarian necessity’ is just not working. In preparing the public for a war that could only be hugely costly in economic and human terms, extra large helpings of fear and panic are needed. Unfortunately, in spite of repeated provocations, Putin has so far refused to bite.

As part of the effort to arouse public hostility, the Associated Press recently published an article for syndication entitled “Clinton v. Putin: Russian television shows what Kremlin thinks of her.” Perhaps the AP presumed to rouse the American public in defense of Hillary Clinton. It didn't work, Americans are somewhat less than enthusiastic about 'Crooked hillary' becoming their president, are aware Mrs. Clinton is a foreign policy hawk who would start World War Three simply because she didn't like the colour of some foreign leader's shirt, and is a crony capitalist.

In her nomination acceptance speech, Clinton repeated her accusations made in an interview for Sunday Fox News that ‘Russian intelligence” was responsible for the DNC hacking and linked her opponent Donald Trump to Vladimir Putin on the strength of Trump's having said he respects Putin as a leader.

Using the DNC hack issue as an opportunity to attack Putin on another front, Clinton asserted during the Fox interview that "we KNOW that Russian intelligence services hacked into the DNC and we KNOW that they arranged for a lot of those emails to be released and we KNOW that Donald Trump has shown a very troubling willingness to back up Putin, to support Putin." In fact what Mrs Clinton "knew" was pure wishful thinking. It would have fitted her narrative had Russia been behind the hack but there is no evidence whatsoever that it happened. Instead, the hack looks a
s if it was carried out from within the USA. But like most 'liberalks' Clinton is a solipsist and has no difficulty convincing herself a lie is true simply because she wants it to be true.

Clinton has previously launched personal attacks on Putin. In March, 2014 in a speech on a University of California campus, she said he was "thin-skinned," and was trying to "re-sovietize Europe while threatening instability and the peace of Europe." She went on to criticise Putin's annexation of Crimea as "Russian aggression".

In referring to ‘Russian aggression,” Clinton's speech writers are smart enough to know the difference between protecting ethnic Russians who have centuries of deep cultural roots in Ukraine and Crimea as compared to Hitler’s invasions of eastern Europe. Did Clinton knowingly adjust the chronology of events in the Ukraine which began with the US-initiated overthrow of a democratically elected President on February 22, 2014; followed by an overwhelming vote on March 16th by Crimean citizens to reunite with Russia which was then followed by the legal annexation of the Crimean peninsula to Russia on March 18th.

Thanks to Clinton’s repetitive disinformation campaign, accusations of ‘Russian aggression’ are now widespread; repeated in the media and by Members of Congress without regard to the evidence. And if media commentators and politicians, with far better sources available to them than Joe the Punter, choose to remain uninformed what hope is there of avoiding global conflict if the USA commits the folly of electing Hillary Clinton as its president.
