Interesting, don’t comms 'go down' just before military intervention?
Could it be Libya in a propaganda drive?

Shenon and OneisOne – thanks for the transcripts and synopsis

The Jamming has been traced to Libya..
Jamming

The network, on the basis of investigations by specialists, has blamed Libya's intelligence services for jamming its TV signals and blocking its websites. It has traced the source of the jamming to a Libyan intelligence technical administration building south of Tripoli, the capital.

Thats gaddafi now saying Bin Laden has instigated the youth to destroy his country

This sort of delusion reminds me of how the top Iraqi General, I can't remember his name now, was adamant saying that there were not any US tanks in Baghdad while right behind him in background there was a US tank rolling through.

Hi guys! this just in . RAF Hercules landing in Malta from Libya with Maltese and British nationals on board. Will be speaking to a friend who works real close to the airport. Ill let you know what he says.

No matter what your take of things in Libya are, or what your inclination of what the world should do I do want to say:

Thank you all for the collaborative effort to consolidate all this information here. In reading through and participating in the multiple threads about this over the past week, I think we have more information and clearer picture here at ATS than any one news outlet there is.

I'm especially thankful for the on the ground reports from Malta.

Excellent stuff, is this the one that came in around 1330, or is this another one?

Thanks in advance for the updates - finished work soon - might go down to Luqa.

The superpowers care nothing about the people. They are there to evacuate the oil. The fight for the last of the Earth's resources will be a bloody one.

The USS Enterprise is in Turkey on a "friendly" visit.

To everyone wondering why Israel isn't stepping in - They kinda have their own problems right now Beer Sheva was hit by a rocket shot from Gaza....

For first time since Operation Cast Lead, Grad rocket from Gaza hits Be'er Sheva

Riots exploded in Greece again also. It's spreading like wildfire it seems.

Somewhere deep inside i hope this is the start of a global revolution for the better, but at what cost?

It looks like we are going to freeze Libya's financial assts Libya placed billions of dollars in U.S. banks: Wikileaks

LOL Israel is watching "the other hand" as Iranian warships cruise by their coastline on the way to Syria!

When one hand is saying, "Look over here! See what I am doing!", people should watch the other hand, as well!


ETA: And this! www.abovetopsecret.com...

Yes,yes...thats it,thats the Reason...yes yes...ohhhhh shiny...

3.54pm: Reuters has a detail from Muammar Gaddafi's speech that we did not pick up on earlier:

Muammar Gaddafi ... said the protesters were fuelled by milk and Nescafe spiked with hallucinogenic drugs ...

"Their ages are 17. They give them pills at night, they put hallucinatory pills in their drinks, their milk, their coffee, their Nescafe," said Gaddafi.

Do we have any members on ATS that have witnessed the media reports?
We should be able to parallax the different media sources and just toss out conflicting spin.
.

Internet is up in Libya.

Schuyler, I agree with the notion that the numbers are probably exaggerated. But saying that it is not possible, is a rather hasty statement to make. First, the following example I recognize, is not the same type of scenario, but was thought no less inconceivable than what you are saying is not possible. In 2005, the US city of Houston and surrounding areas were evacuated to protect against the imminent Hurricane Rita. I'm not sure of the exact numbers, but if you merely count the population of Houston itself, there were over 2.2 million people that evacuated. Of course there were many more persons evacuated up and down the Texas and Louisiana coasts. To further exacerbate the situation, the general area was still reeling from the effects of Hurricane Katrina.

So, let's be realistic in our assessment of what is possible/likely or what is not possible/unlikely. History is replete with modern examples of such things.

ESV

Just a quick thanks for the support of this thread and the gathering of information and opinion.

Going home now to change and eat then I will go to Luqa airport to see if I can get any eye witness accounts from any of the evacuee's.

Peace

LestatG is clearly trolling with us.

If Chinese ships would enter the Mediterranean -especially WARSHIPS- you,d have it in the news everywhere.

This war hype is not very helpful in such crazy times, think about that next time before posting other rubbish of this kind, LestatG. Not very good for "peace".

All you need to know is al-qeada supports the Libya protesting and Qaddafi blames al-qeada on the protesting.Both of them are lunatics.The Islamic world is a total mess.
