How the Media Creates Rebels and Atrocities
From Rod Remelin
Let's see...
First we had a "no fly" zone.
That evolved into bombing missions.
But NATO's running it now, not the US, so no worries, right?
Now there's talk of putting US troops on the ground.
All in support of the noble and downtrodden Libyan "rebels."
But what if there are no Libyan rebels?
Hint: My money says there aren't any.

For all practical purposes, there are no Libyan rebels.
As much as a whack job as Gaddafi is (and he is), for an Arab dictator he treats his people pretty well and they mostly tolerate him.
So where are the rebels coming from?
The news media/CIA.
Some undeniable evidence:
1. LOOK at the pictures
What do you see?
Two or three guys standing around with AKs cheering...a guy sitting in a pick up truck with a large caliber machine gun attached...a close cropped picture of a guy sitting it what might be a tank...shaky footage that at the end of the day shows nothing.
And that's it.
I defy you to show me even one image that you couldn't manufacture in 5 minutes flat in your own home town. Just wrap a scarf around your head and grab a hunting rifle. Instant rebel.
2. The UTTERLY bogus "social media" war
Ya gotta love social media.
If it's on Twitter or YouTube then it has to be true, right?
No.
Also consider this: YouTube has been turned off in Libya...yet the "rebels" are able to post massive quantities of shaky video footage (which shows nothing) up without trouble.
You ever been out in the field with people firing at and bombing you? Do you think you'd have the time to find an Internet connection, override the YouTube block and upload video. Maybe, but probably not.
Manufactured rebels to justify invasion to take the oil- and take out someone who would not support US-Israel attacking Iran.
