The rallies have been taking place almost weekly in Tripoli and other Libyan cities, including Sabha on July 8, 2011.
TRIPOLI. July 15, 2011.
Friday of July 1, 2011 like many other Fridays has seen huge rallies in Tripoli's Green Square. It’s very hard to get an accurate number of the mass of people that have attended these rallies. Estimates have placed the size of the July 1st rally in Green Square at one million people.
The rallies also indicate significant popular support for Colonel Qaddafi in contrast to the usual stereotype descriptions of the Western media. The mainstream media has either casually dismissed the significance of these public gatherings directed against NATO intervention or has failed to even report them. These rallies continue late into the night.
The following are pictures of Libyans converging on Green Square on July 1, 2011. These pictures also show that the mainstream media was present and aware of these rallies.
So what is preventing them from reporting the truth?
Why are some of these journalists claiming that only a few thousand people attended? It is important to note that the pictures were taken at the outset of the event.
Global Research's Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya reporting from Tripoli refutes the media consensus which uphold's NATO's humanitarian mandate. He provides us with a review of the mass rallies directed against NATO including extensive photographic evidence.
Forward this article. Post it on Facebook. Spread the word.

I recall several other dictators (ie Saddam) over the years who could really (force, threaten) swells of hundreds of thousands of citizens to attend rallies supporting things like corrupt elections. Maybe the eyes on the ground have a better perspective of what is going on? Just a thought.

There may not be millions like the Egyptian revolutions but be mindful of the large population difference. Look at the photos more closely....Ghaddafi's rallies of supporters appear to be far more westernised than their enermies, the rebels, who are committing genocide upon the black Libyans and any Libyan soldier that surrenders to the rebels are tortured then dismembered....while still alive.

I have videos of Ghaddafi's forces torturing and dismembering rebels also so what's your point?
If Ghaddafi wasn't so against other political parties being formed and challenging him for authority none of this would be happening. People are pissed of his tyrannical rule and when they stand up to him he shoots them down and organizes his own little show with all the cute little kids showing support.
I would dare you to go to Libya and form a political party against Ghaddafi and speak openly about his faults and not be dead by the end of the week.
This man is a criminal.

Who predicted that in the 50's
And under what pretense was it predicted.
