While I was unable to find any images of the back of Gaddafi's head, I think these two provide a decent enough view to conclude that he had a significant amount of hair covering his whole head (marked receding on the front sides notwithstanding). Compare the above images with a still from the 'capture video' showing the top of the head of the man who was dragged out of the 'rat hole':
Thinning on top: 'rat-hole Gaddafi'
Granted, in the first images of Gaddafi above, he could well be wearing a wig or hair-piece. Curiously enough, the Washington Post went out of its way to explain that DNA tests conducted by Libyan doctors on the man they pulled out of the 'rat-hole' confirmed that the hair on his head was not Moammar Gaddafi's because the unlucky stooge was wearing a wig. What are we supposed to believe here? That they ran identity-verification tests on a wig?! Are they that stupid? Hardly. It's more likely that they ran tests on real hair because clearly 'rat hole Gaddafi' DID have some hair. But when there was no match, the wig was set up to take the blame. What else are we to conclude from the comment in the Washington Post that "the hair was not Moammar Gaddafi's" other than the man pulled from the rat hole was not Muammar Gaddafi?
Decades of Lies
I'm still eagerly waiting on the scenes of mass jubilation among Libyan citizens at the alleged demise of their 'brutal dictator'. I suppose it might take a while to convince the 90% of the Libyan population which supports Gaddafi that a Western puppet government and economic occupation by Western corporations is actually a good thing.
The statements made by Western leaders about Gaddafi's 'crimes' as they gloated over the brutal televised murder of some poor unfortunate in Libya were revolting, to me anyway.
British Prime Minister David Cameron said that October 20th was:
"a day to remember all of Gaddafi's victims, from those who died in connection with the Pan Am flight over Lockerbie, to Yvonne Fletcher in a London Street, and obviously all of the victims of IRA terrorism who died through their use of Libyan Semtex.We should also remember the many many Libyans who died at the hands of this brutal dictator and his regime."Omitted from the end of Cameron's statement was 'and we should also remember that I'm lying through my teeth.'
Of course, British tabloids like The Sun, are only too happy to parrot Cameron's nonsense in typically jingoistic fashion:
But let's have a quick review of 'Gaddafi's crimes' as reported by Cameron.
The bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie Scotland. This was clearly a false-flag operation designed to demonise Libya. See the website of the father of one of the victims, Dr. Jim Swire, for the evidence. Libya has never accepted responsibility for the bombing of Flight 103, but instead paid compensation to the families to "buy peace" i.e. attempted reintegration into the Western elite.
The murder of Police Constable Yvonne Fletcher in St. James' Square, London, in April 1984. Blamed on Libya, there is in fact a wealth of evidence to support the theory that Fletcher was shot by a CIA/MI6 operative in an effort to, again, demonise Libya. Despite the fact that a Channel 4 Dispatches documentary spelled it out in scientific detail, Cameron is happy to propagate the lie.
The 'victims of IRA terrorism' through the use of Libyan Semtex. There is little doubt that, on a few occasions, the IRA leadership successfully bought Libyan weapons. There is also little doubt, however, that all alleged major IRA attacks which involved the death of civilians were the work of British intelligence. The British media's mendacity and complicity in this lie was further exposed in September this year when it was revealed that a major British media network had taken CGI video footage from a violent computer game and passed it off as real video footage in an effort to portray Gaddafi as a supporter of terrorists:
- ITV/MI5 -The
British network claimed it was "human error" that led to a scene from a
computer game having "IRA film 1988" pasted on it as the narrator
worked through a list of the past (non-existent) sins of Gaddafi for the
British audience in September this year.
Also consider the following interesting link between alleged IRA attacks and the Lockerbie bombing. During the 1970s and early 1980s, one Dr. Thomas Hayes progressed to become Head of Department at the British Royal Armaments Research Establishment (RARDE). His testimony was central to the bogus Lockerbie verdict. A Parliamentary inquiry into the 1974 alleged IRA 'Maguire Seven' bombing and mistrial discovered that key forensic evidence indicated the innocence of the accused. This evidence, which was known to Dr. Hayes and two RARDE colleagues, was not disclosed at the Maguire Seven trial. The Maguire Seven were eventually freed on appeal after spending fifteen years in jail.
That just gives you some small insight into the lengths to which Western governments and 'intelligence agencies' have gone (and are prepared to go) to 'protect their interests'. With the mainstream media bought and paid for, global, corporate, fascist domination is a done deal unless we all wake up to the reality of the situation and start calling it for what it is - bullshit, through and through.
So yeah, Cameron et al gloating and lying to the cameras; Hilary Clinton just happening to be in Libya a few days ago and demanding Gaddafi 'dead or alive' one day before someone looking a bit like him is produced from a 'rat-hole' and then quickly executed and (soon to be) buried in a 'secret location' far from prying eyes; the deliberately conflicting stories of how he was killed being spread far and wide by the mainstream media; Gaddafi being feted (and armed) by British, French, American, Italian Prime Ministers and Presidents just a couple of years ago and then suddenly demonised as a 'brutal dictator' and his country and citizens bombed back to the stone age - all of that pisses me off. But what really concerns me here is not my own rising blood pressure, but the future of Libya. Already the vultures are circling, eying their prize in the form of Libya's natural resources. Take it away, French Minister of Defence, GÃ ©rard Longuet:
New Libyan leaders 'owe' France
