Mr. Tommy Sotomayor on the Real Reasons why Gaddafi was killed
2024-06-20


… for his parents until everyone in Libya owns a home.

4. All newlywed couples in Libya received 60,000 dinars from the government & because of that they bought their own apartments & started their families.

5. Education & medical treatment in Libya are free. Before Gaddafi there were only 25% readers, 83% during his reign

6. If Libyans wanted to live on a farm, they received free household appliances, seeds and livestock.

7. If they cannot receive treatment in Libya, the state would fund them $2300+ accommodation & travel for treatment abroad.

8. If you bought a car, the government finances 50% of the price.

9. The price of gasoline became $ 0.14 per liter.

10. Libya had no external debt, and reserves were $150 Billion (now frozen worldwide)

11. Since some Libyans can't find jobs after school, the government will pay the average salary when they can't find a job.

12. Part of oil sales in Libya are directly linked to the bank accounts of all citizens.

13. The mother who gave birth to the child will receive $5000

14. 40 loaves of bread cost $0.15.

15. Gaddafi has implemented the world's biggest irrigation project known as the "BIG MAN PROJECT" to ensure water availability in the desert.

#6  Some friends of mine would still be alive if he hadn't meddled in other countries' affairs.

I gather he tried to make up his own "school" of Islam, with its own documents. I doubt that that endeared him to the orthodox.

I'm told a fair bit of the armaments he amassed decayed away--at least the more expensive toys--but from a distance it feels as though once he died, some of the more portable/rugged stuff started spreading out among Muhammadan mischief-makers over West Africa.

#5  I remember Ghadaffy telling other muslim leaders that historical the dome on the rock was a made up joke. He was correct. Daniel Pipes covered the story.

#4  Ghadaffy threatened to unleash the hordes of Africa on Europe if NATO did not give him what he wanted, so he doesn’t get extra credit that it happened after he was killed. He was a vile and vicious ruler, in the same mould as Saddam Hussein, providing training and funding to anti-Israel and anti-West terrorists with a similarly liberal hand. That he died at that time and in that way just accelerated what would have happened to him anyway in another decade or two, at which point Libya would have fallen apart in the exact same way — continuing so until the next vicious warlord killed his way to the top of the heap. Like Saddam’s lads, Ghadaffy’s were not strong and vicious enough to hold what their papa had seized in his youth.

#3  After they killed him, literal slave markets opened in Libya.
And he was holding the cork in the bottle of African immigration. Now, they come through Libya, get into the Soros-funded NGO boats and get ferried to Europe.

#1  ...16. He was a deranged, dictatorial, paranoid psychotic with a corpse fixation and a God complex and fashion sense that would have made Michael Jackson blush.

He had a great deal to answer for.
