Gaddafi: Our Best Villain
Muammar Muhammad al-Gaddafi (born 7 June 1942) is a Libyan politician and revolutionary, who has led the Libyan state since he overthrew King Idris in a 1969 bloodless coup and established the Libyan Arab Republic.
He went on to survive revolts, military strikes and embargoes while showing a knack for playing to Western interests, namely geopolitical security and oil reserves.
It’s no surprise many of the interviews about hidden dealings are tainted by realpolitik. These personal accounts from key players are a fascinating foray into the diplomatic world of riddles, theatrics and hidden agendas.
In early February 2011, major political protests, which were inspired by recent protests in Tunisia, Egypt and other parts of the Arab world, broke out in Libya against Gaddafi's government and quickly turned into a civil war. Gaddafi vowed to die a martyr if necessary in his fight against rebels and external forces, saying that those rebelling against his government deserve to die.
On 17 May 2011 the International Criminal Court issued a request for an arrest warrant against Gaddafi for crimes against humanity.
This insightful essay-style documentary by Frenchman Antoine Vitkine puts current events into perspective by examining the motivations behind the actions of Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, a man whose peculiar appearance belies savvy negotiation skills.
This doc was created by the Pentagon.
I think it's a good starting point to get a glance at the complexity of Gaddafi's regime.
Stupidest documentary I ever watch, ,the commentators talk so much cunt,, them say Gaddafi wanted power as a young man then he became a lunatic after trade towers bombing and they say he condemned the bombing he was alright, , was crazyyyyy or mad any more, , that's white ppl for you or the west
So, Ghadafy helping the IRA fighting against 400 years of brittish occupation and atrocities is financing terrorists, but Ronald Reagan bombing a palace and killing civilians while at the same time financing death squads that killed tens of thousands in guatemala isn't... This documentary is appaling by its partisanship. One life = one life, france US and brittain have way more innocent blood on their hands than Lybia ever had, least this film could have done was to mention it...
I watched it to the end. it's a biased documentary where Qaddafi is depicted as evil and the Americans as heroes as always. for example, under Reagan, Libya was attacked by the US, the military bases and Qaddafi's home in Tripoli were targeted, you can see blood in his home but yet no death toll is claimed. However, a plane exploded over lockerbie (allegedly Qaddafi's responsibility which will be denied later in the documentary) and this time, the number of people killed is stated.
What's the difference between both? Why British and Americans lives matter more than Libyans ? it's just an example among others of how this documentary is only a piece of propaganda from the Western countries. You'll find no real investigations, no real objective look at the life of a guy who was deeply and genuinely involved to improve the lives of his people, a social revolutionary leader just like Thomas Sankara (leader of Burkina Faso between 1983 and 1987) and who was killed too because of his refusal to comply to the Imperialists demands and corruption.
A shame that these techniques are still used to discredit an entire people for money. We're lost in the middle of a war made up of disinformation and propaganda and we are the ones who have to be careful to make sure not to be influenced by those who are in power whether in political or economic system.

A sha
Reagan lied just like bush did, he lied about Qaddafi so that they could intervene in Libya
according to him, Qaddafi had bombed a German club, my ass, what would have been the point, none. he was an easy prey for easy money to destabilize the whole country and make the Libyans their bitch while easing the oil market for petrodollars.
No wonder why nobody likes America.
the USA is a shameless country that will stop at nothing to silence the voices of social revolution against this capitalism responsible for the death of millions of people and the overthrowing of government that were bound to become really financially independent and real democracies and hence, were a threat to the United States.
the worst is that they've been rewriting history from Columbus and the genocide upon the natives to the Indians war , the real founding father's background, who were slave owners and land holders part of the establishment, to 2001, a war declared under a false pretext that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction which was not the case and allegedly hiding Ben Laden. They are the perpetrators of lies and death and still claim themselves as Christians, embedded in fundamentalism.
this country is a shame for the rest of the international community and we all have to suffer the consequence of this stupid and selfish country influenced by the Israel lobby, the AIPAC to which any congressmen and presidential candidates have to swear allegiance.
You so called american's kill me with terrorist;s talk look at what bush did to Iraq.
uh-oh it's no longer available lol
After reviewing my many and lengthy comments of last year, and others' posts, I'm getting the idea that this doco is NOT the customary hypnosis session, and I'm gonna WATCH it!! They killed him like a mad and murderous dog, but who are the mad and murderous dogs?
I was going to watch this one as I have seen some good ones on youtube about Gadhafi, but after reading over these comments I've changed my mind. Figure I won't waste the time.
Look up truth about libya on youtube. They explain the real motives for the "humanitarian aid" we gave Libya.
not available??
NH
At the Berlin disco bomb trial, the prosecution was unable to prove that Libya's Colonel Gaddafi was behind the attack. The court blamed this failure on the "limited willingness" of the German and US governments to share intelligence.
I couldn't watch more than 4 minutes of this BS "documentary".
Of course a Frenchman would represent why we attacked Libya. If you do a little research you come to find that France has some interests that are not humanitarian
This documentary lists all of these "crimes" committed by Gaddafi's regime, but really the only reason the west gives one shit about Libya is because Gaddafi nationalize his oil fields. End of story, book closed , send in the F-16s
Propaganda Alert; viewer beware you cannot trust a document which starts on a false premise of 'turned tanks on his own people'. No, lawfully and legitimately defended his country and people from communist/jewish infiltration and massacre. The UN cover the Libyan 'rebels' (jews) atrocities. They are slitting the throats of the people like kosher sacrificing of animals, they are hanging people, impaling children's anus' with pole, cutting off their rape victims' breasts and enforcing canabalism on captured Libyan soldiers. US and UK Corp are consumed by the virus and Israeli Jews are taking revenge for the rightful expulsion of and cancelling the extortionate debts to the Jews. They never forget. You should see the revolting footage of thier Kosher fest in action. The people love their leader, the leader loves the people. Typical of the jew-created communist psychopolitcal strategy, their press defames by slurs of 'insanity' and then the British faction does it damndest to pin the label 'terrorist' on a man and his people for their own actions in Lockerbie and the Libyan Embassy killing of Yvonne Fletcher. From what I have read and seen, we, in the west have never experienced such benevolent guardianship.
The narration and script are hugely biased and quite frankly, highly irritating. Had hoped for a more balanced, informative viewing.
On one hand Real Africans, don't consider Gaddafi as an African, of course he never consider himself one, he live in African soil, yet his people are Arabs. Now, he expect 'Real' Africans to come to his aid (Which they are doing, because of their humane and forgiving nature), when his so called Arab brothers, abandoned him as they always do. While, many Africans think he and his Arab terrorists are not worth being in African soil, the hypocrisy of the West tend to win him some sympathy. The same West that supply him and his likes dangerous weapons to kill their own people are suddenly claiming to be bombing Libya in other to protect 'civilians'.
What business has NATO in Africa, are they now military wing of UN??
They myopic greed of the West when it comes to money will end up costing them their very existence. They are willing to sell their souls to the devil just for a quick gain. They are willing to form alliance with Islamic terrorists against their fellow Christians, for a short term gain, even when they know that those people will never like them..
God help us if they US and their new romance with the same terrorists Taleban/Al Queada, succeeds in bringing them back to power!
Now we wonder where to stand, since the same US that proclaimed that anyone not with them is with the terrorists, now secretly going to dinner with the same terrorists, while we foolishly stand there shouting at terrorists a' bad ...
Are US now with them??? What an Irony!
This documentary, bullshit pro-NATO propaganda.
other ahadith talk about the weapons they come to iraq with are never before seen
other ahadith say O group of muhaajireen, 5 practices - if your afflicted with them ... and i seek refuge in Allah from you reaching them (!)evil does not spread throughout a people to the extent that they proclaim it openly except that plaque and hunger will spread among them, to such a degree that was previously unknown to them before; (2)people will not reduce in measurement ie by cheating with scales when buying and selling except that they will be overtaken by drought in the lands, by burdensome obligations,and by the oppression of the ruler upon them; (3)they will not refuse to pay zakaat on their wealth except that they will be prevented rain from the sky, and were it not for there livestock,they would not receive rain altogether(4)they will not break Allahs covenant of his messenger peace be upon him except that there external enemies will be given reign to subdjugate them, enemies that will take something from their hands and as long as their imams do not rule by Allahs book and they mock what Allah revealed, Allah will make their strength to be used among themselves - Against one another. this is talking about the muslims.
these are over 1400 years old and the one ontop is even considered weak lol and its still happening
Abdullah ibn Al haarith said,''i was standing with Ubai ibn ka'ab in the shade of haassans high house,and he said,'people will continue with their differing necks to seek out the world.'i said yes. He said indeed i heard the messenger of Allah say, 'The time draws near when the Furaat will lay bare a mountain of gold. When people will hear about it they will proceed to it, and the one beside it will say, 'if we leave the people to take from it, all of it will depart.' And so they will fight over it with 99 dying from every 100.
REFERENCE SAHEEH MUSLIM
we thought actual gold but lol black gold i didnt think of that growing up
It's amazing how Kaddafi has survived since the 60s. I find it very shameful that the West has pandered and played his games all those years.
Well Canada has declared war on Libya, the paaaaarrrtyy is on. Haha, god NATO & the UN are scumbags. ....and Libya just happens to have oil! Wow That Was Fast! Libyan Rebels Have Already Established A New Central Bank Of Libya.
Perhaps when this conflict is over those rebels can become time management consultants. They sure do get a lot done. What a skilled bunch of rebels – they can fight a war during the day and draw up a new central bank and a new national oil company at night without any outside help whatsoever.
