31. A few thoughts:

(Excuse the rough form; time presses somewhat, maybe.)

Military coordination and communication. Even command, maybe?

A good leader of irregulars has to be fatherly, be ready to listen to them... but to be somewhat stern -- in fatherly, not military conduct, terms. He also must be a superior military type who understands using irregulars, which a lot of commanders don't understand or favor.

Use aircraft where the other sides' planes and air defenses aren't concentrated, like to bomb/strafe attacking-forces without air support (especially if they don't have sams: aa guns seem prolific, so your planes may not be able to get low, but there is the demoralizing value of plane attacks) or to shoot down their helicopters (!!) -- or to, in numbers, to shoot down smaller-numbered bombing/strafing sorties (!!). But without some way to summon, direct the planes, the wrong people will get attacked -- and the wrong people shot down -- and the only time your planes will be in the right place at a useful time is if the other side isn't moving much. You really need combat-air-patrol ("on call" air support), but it's a "high" military thing most suitable for really-well organized, trained, coordinated professional-military forces.

Attacking-forces without air support and sams, and especially who do not know how to use aa guns, are subject to annihilation by aircraft. So don't clump up. Also if you stumble into fields of fire (mgs, guns, artillery), slaughter awaits. So never operate in a way that makes you especially vulnerable to the enemies weapons, defenses.

Recon, raids, patrolling, probing attacks and sabotage.

There are things irregular forces (if they're smart) are good for (sneaking up on things using good cover (like where the tanks, etc, can't follow, where you can't easily be seen, shot, etc), blasting away and then high-tailing it using cover -- this is very demoralizing on the adversary), and things they aren't (those requiring lots of military training, knowledge, discipline... sorry, guys).

I think that there may be some people in certain places who don't understand the severity of the situation in others. And then there's the psywar, etc, going on. Plus, there are always fools in every nation and time.

People who shoot at the wrong times waste ammo, plus they're liable to hit friendlies -- and generally, should be told in a friendly(!) way to go home until needed.

37. Libya: Spending oil money across the globe

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- In the span of a few years, Libya's financial tendrils have reached across oceans, across borders and across continents.The United States, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and the European Union recently moved to freeze billions of dollars of assets belonging to Libya's government and its leader Moammar Gadhafi and his family, as the violence and chaos spread across the country.

Libya shares little about its financial dealings, but there are some things we do know about the types of assets that were frozen and where Libya has invested its oil-rich wealth.Through various financial institutions, Libya has spread its wealth across at least 35 nations on four continents. The country owns a bizarre mix of investments, ranging from luxury real estate and publishing companies in Britain, to hotels in the Middle East, to a small stake in Italy's Juventus football franchise.

Libya has also invested hundreds of millions of dollars in poor and, in some cases, unstable African nations. The Libyan Foreign Bank even owns a stake in the Commercial Bank of Zimbabwe. All of that comes on top of the billions of dollars that Libya has socked away in the United States' largest and most influential investment banks. "Libya is just getting used to the fact they have a lot of cash on hand to invest," said Ashby Monk, a research with Oxford University who specializes in sovereign wealth.

See No Evil: Wall Street Banks and Qaddafi Cash

The Obama administration's move to freeze $30 billion in Libyan assets has sent Wall Street banks scurrying to lock down Qaddafi's cash. Raising the question: How did America's biggest firms become bankers to one of the world's most corrupt men? Anti-money-laundering statutes are supposed to bar "the movement of illicit cash or cash equivalent proceeds into, out of, or through the United States ... United States financial institutions.” And when it comes to Libya, there's no such thing as licit cash: According to a WikiLeaked State Department cable: "Libya is a kleptocracy in which the regime has a direct stake in anything worth buying, selling or owning."

And yet, according to a cable from 2010, top U.S. banks were in bed with Qaddafi's Libyan Investment Authority: "Several American banks," our embassy in Tripoli reported, "are each managing USD 300-500 million of LIA's funds."

Firms reportedly playing banker to Libya's "sovereign wealth fund" include Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, JP Morgan Chase, and several private equity firms.According to federal law, before doing business with LIA, these banks were required to do "due diligence" to determine 1) That the assets were legitimately obtained and 2) That they were legitimately handled on behalf of the Libyan people and not, as one government source put it to Rolling Stone, "just a pass-through to a kleptocrat."
This source found it "hard to believe ... that a sophisticated Wall Street investment firm could legitimately believe" that Libyan assets passed those tests: "How could anyone do due diligence," the source asked, "and come to the conclusion that this was a good bet?"

Saif: Listen, listen brothers, the people have said the police force have joined the protesters, but today we will prove the opposite (Context -- Saif is hinting at an idea -- to equip his supporters with police clothing and request them to enter the protests undercover.)
Saif: Do you need weapons?!
Supporters reply: Yes, Yes, Yes!
Saif: One minute please, you will receive all the support, all the facilities and weapons etc. Everything will be okay, and you will be victorious.
Supporters: 'Only God, Muammar & Libya.' Oh Al Jazeera you despicable, we need no other than our leader Gaddafi'
Saif: 'Today we're not inviting you for rice & meat' (Libyan saying — meaning: we mean business). This is what I want to tell you today.'
Supporters: 'We will show them (the protesters), 'we will bring it back (the country back to Gaddafi's power).' 'The population needs Col. Muammar.'
Saif- listen, listen, this is your country ... now we shall leave, and you have all the backing. But your country Italians. The protesters you confront are nothing; they are bums, brats and druggies. Today brothers, Tripoli that you live in, will be cleared (of protesters).
Supporters : With spirit and blood we support you our leader' (Gaddafi)
Saif: I shall leave now, and I will send you weapons. Tonight I will return with more people and weapons.

Mar 2, 2011, 11:14 GMT

Riyadh/Cairo - Saudi activists alleged Wednesday that state security shot dead a leading online activist, who was calling for a 'Day of Rage' on March 11 in the oil-rich kingdom.

Faisal Ahmed Abdul-Ahadwas, 27, was believed to be one of the main administrators of a Facebook group that is calling for protests similar to that have swept North Africa and the Middle East.

The Facebook group, which has over 17,000 members, is calling for nationwide protests and reforms, including that governors and members of the upper house of parliament be elected, the release of political prisoners, greater employment, and greater freedoms.

Online activists said they believe Abdul-Ahadwas was killed by state security and that his body was taken by authorities to 'hide evidence of the crime.'

And the source: http://www.syriatruth.info/content/view/1511/36/

There's also the matter of his son's alleged intimacy with Orly Weinerman, who is Jewish.

This seems hotly debated, as far as it's gone. It's interesting because in this climate all sorts of counter-intelligence could take hold easily. People don't need to hire PR agencies any more - just develop sophisticated cadre skilled in mass communications.

In the midst of political storms, of course people's reactionary attitudes will come into play, whether in Libya, Tunisia, or the US. The longer the period of intense struggle, the more stronger the contradictions get. Jew-baiting is quite popular in north Africa. Anti-Black racism is also quite prevalent.

Colonel Gaddafi's bizarre rants spawn internet parodies
Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, Libya's embattled leader, has become an online star as his increasingly fantastical television rants provide ample fodder for parodies.

VIDEO

9:51AM GMT 02 Mar 2011

...

Among the most popular videos are a Gaddafi speech set to a Loony Tunes soundtrack featuring the dictator as cartoon character Wile E. Coyote strapped to a bomb; Gaddafi singing I'm Killing in the Rain in reference to his bizarre umbrella statement; and an inevitable Downfall parody in which Hitler phones Gaddafi his bunker to offer him advice.

66. i had read some time ago, in the New Yorker

Libyans were not evan aloud to speak the #G name, when they made reference to him they were to point to the sky.

now they have the freedom to laugh and make fun of him, bring him down to size, how wonderful.

60. So true. They were made for coups not for people's war.

Revolutionary armed struggle requires death-defying commitment. Some forces waver in the face of such a choice.

Arabs may impose Libya no fly zone
International concern grows over violence in Libya with Arab state ministers saying they could impose a "no-fly" zone.
Last Modified: 02 Mar 2011 19:39 GMT


Amr Moussa has served the post of secretary-general for the Arab League for 10 years

The Arab League has said it may impose a "no fly" zone on Libya in co-ordination with the African Union if fighting continues in Libya.

Wednesday’s Arab League ministers' meeting in Cairo rejected any direct outside military intervention in Libya, where Muammar Gaddafi is trying to put down a revolt threatening his four decades in power. They reiterated their condemnation of his use of force.

The Arab resolution called on the Libyan government to respond to the "legitimate demands of the Libyan people" and to stop bloodshed. The Libyan authorities must lift restrictions on media and mobile networks and allow the delivery of aid.

The Arab League demanded "the preservation of the unity of Libyan lands and civil peace" -- similar to the language it used in the run-up to the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003.
