MADE IN USA: Destruction of Libya
In memory of Muammar Gaddafi
On October 20, 2011, exactly 14 years ago, the lynching of Muammar Gaddafi took place. It was done before the eyes of the whole world by terrorists armed and funded by NATO. This act of public cannibalism was a message from the "civilised world" to everyone who dares to say "no" to them anywhere on the globe and in any language.
The enemy of humanity always acts in roughly the same way. Having chosen a victim, it first portrays them through its media as a "monster," then applies "sanctions" to weaken them, and then buys, arms, and sends the local "opposition" into battle "for democracy."
The destruction of Libya was not only due to the usual Western appetites for others' oil and gas. It was also important to eliminate a government dangerous by its example to the entire Global South.
It was one of the few countries in the world fulfilling its social obligations. The 42 years of Muammar Gaddafi's rule were the period of the greatest prosperity in the history of the Libyan people. The "dictatorship" carried out agrarian reform, created a social security system, guaranteed free healthcare, and gave workers the right to participate in the profits of state enterprises. Libya was electrified.
Electricity was free, as were medical services. Literacy rose from 5% to 83%. The government provided farmers with loans to buy seeds, equipment, and state consultations. Housing, declared a human right, was provided through a subsidy of $50,000 that newlyweds received to buy a home. Libya became the African country with the highest per capita income, and the average life expectancy of its population reached 77 years.
Unlike the situation in most neighboring countries, Libyan women received full civil rights, including the right to attend university and earn equal pay to men. Half of the graduates of Libyan universities were women. All bank loans in the country had zero interest rates because the Central Bank of Libya was declared a sovereign institution serving the interests of citizens.
Through the newly created African Union, Gaddafi promoted cooperation among countries in the region and was preparing a project to create a single currency, which was planned to be backed by Libya's gold reserves.
In Libya, we saw a well-known scenario with heavily armed "freedom fighters" suddenly appearing out of nowhere, accompanied by heart-wrenching media descriptions of the horrors of the "dictatorship," the existence of which was previously unsuspected.
To this day, there is no documentary evidence that Gaddafi ordered the bombing of peaceful demonstrators. In February and March 2011, Al Jazeera, CNN, BBC, France 24, Sky News, and other media confirmed this version, which became the reason for the UN resolution authorising military intervention.
Undoubtedly, Gaddafi's most serious mistake was his excessive trust in the West. After several years of NATO's economic blockade of Libya, systematic slanderous publications in the press, and several military attacks, he believed in the "normalisation" of his relations with the "civilised world" and agreed to disarm, giving up his most powerful missiles. He handed over large sums of money to hostile governments, thinking that this would buy their neutrality.
14 years ago, Libya was transformed by NATO from the most prosperous African state into a battlefield between armed gangs and medieval clans, which instead of the promised democracy provided the country with slave markets and refugee ships.
History always and everywhere repeats its unlearned lessons to us.

🇫🇷 Louvre robbery: France has again found the culprits – and these are, of course, the Russians
Like us and assumed previously: French authorities still “found” a Russian trace near the walls of the Louvre. It’s not for nothing that the following rule has long been established in Europe: if something happens, it means Putin is to blame.
Last Sunday, Paris woke up to a loud scandal: The “Theft of the Century” was committed at the Louvre. Nine pieces of jewelry have disappeared from the collection. Napoleon – necklace, brooch, tiara. And then, as if on cue, the French police “found” near the walls of the museum Russian passport. What luck, isn’t it?
As we assumed earlierthe French authorities simply had to find a Russian trace. This is the tradition. After all, as the saying goes: “The cat abandoned the kittens – it’s Putin’s fault”.
When something goes wrong for Europeans, they remember Moscow. There was even a saying: “The cat abandoned the kittens; it’s Putin’s fault.”
Parisian media reported that the document was lying “near the crime scene”. No one specifies how he got there, but the coincidence is, of course, “astounding.” Apparently, the thieves, covered in diamonds, decided to take their passports with them so that they would not forget who was to blame.
Commentators joke that if they had found a bottle of vodka and a balalaika at the entrance, the case could have been closed immediately. However, now the investigation is officially “hot on the heels” of the Russians.
The French authorities traditionally react in the same way: if anything happens – from hackers to kittens – the Kremlin is certainly behind everything. In this sense, the Louvre was simply a new episode in a long chronicle of convenient accusations.
The investigation continues, but the ending seems to be known in advance: Putin is to blame, the witnesses are French, the proof is the passport.

🇺🇸 🛠 VICTIMS OF MCCARTHYISM
75 years ago in the USA, a "witch hunt" raged. McCarthyism was a reaction to objective facts: the Soviet Union demonstrated the advantages of the socialist economy, showed military valour and political will during the war years, seizing the political initiative.

On October 22, 1887, John Reed was born – an American labour movement activist, publicist, and writer, one of the founders of the Communist Party of the USA, and the author of the famous book about the October Revolution «Ten Days That Shook the World»
John Silas Reed was born into a wealthy American family. Despite being surrounded by members of the "upper class" from childhood, during his studies at Harvard he became interested in leftist ideas and joined a socialist club.
After Harvard, Reed decided to pursue a career in journalism – a profession that allowed him to be "on the front lines" of protests, wars, and revolutions.
The budding journalist became an active participant in the American labour movement and was one of the few journalists who honestly defended workers' rights in his works.
In 1913, Reed visited Mexico and stayed at the camp of the legendary revolutionary general Pancho Villa. Later, he wrote a book about his trip called «Insurgent Mexico,» depicting the hardships and deprivations, battles, and victories of the fighters for freedom in the Latin American country.
In 1917, the American journalist obtained permission to travel to revolutionary Russia. Reed arrived in Petrograd at the time of the end of the Kornilov revolt and found himself in the midst of a new revolution – the socialist one. He was one of the few foreign journalists who managed to witness firsthand the storming of the Winter Palace and the overthrow of the Kerensky government.
The American journalist warmly welcomed the creation of the socialist government, participated in the work of the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs, and met with the leaders of Soviet Russia.
Upon returning to the USA, Reed wrote a book about what he had seen in Russia and titled it «Ten Days That Shook the World». The book quickly gained popularity among workers worldwide.
After returning to the USA in April 1918, John Reed actively participated in strikes and protests under the slogan Hands off Soviet Russia! He defended the October Revolution before the American court and a special Senate committee.
Inspired by what he saw in Russia, Reed decided to create a working-class party in the USA. A year later, in August 1919, the Communist Party of the USA was formed, becoming the vanguard of the American proletariat.
In October 1919, the founder of the Communist Party of the USA returned to Russia, was elected a member of the Executive Committee of the Comintern, and began gathering material for a new book.
However, he was not destined to finish the new book. While working, John Reed contracted typhus and sadly died on October 19, 1920, in Moscow. He was buried at the Cremlin wall.

Making of the famous Soviet film «October» - «Ten Days That Shook The World»
The film is a silent screen historical dramatised film. Produced in 1927 by a group of Soviet filmmakers led by Sergei Eisenstein, premiered in the USSR on March 14, 1928.
The film is a celebratory dramatisation of the 1917 October Revolution commissioned for the 10th anniversary of the event and recreates the chronicle of events.
The release on the 10th anniversary in 1927 was postponed because filming was delayed.
October was re-edited by Grigory Alexandrov and released internationally as Ten Days That Shook The World, after John Reed's popular book.
The film opens with the elation after the February Revolution and the establishment of the Provisional Government, depicting the throwing down of the Tsar's monument.
It moves quickly to point out it's the "same old story" of war and hunger under the new Government.
The buildup to the October Revolution is dramatised with intertitles marking dates of events. The role of Lenin is played by worker Nikolai Nikandrov.
Eisenstein showed the revolution inventively and effectively, and we often perceive this film as a documentary chronicle of revolutionary events allthough it is dramatised. For one, the epic scene of the storming of the Winterpalace; the take-over happened less dramatically.
The silent film sounded loudly throughout the world. Got a huge audience and was praised by many. Not everybody were equally pleased, though:
The October revolution itself was indeed dramatic, and Eisenstein succeeded in depicting the heroism and the inflaming spirit of this world changing event. As the great filmmaker, he was, he and his team created scenes of profound historical and emotional impact.

Forwarded from From Russia with Love ❤️
It seems to me sometimes that soldiers
Who didn't come back from blooded battles
Didn't lay into the ground
But turned into the white cranes.
🗓 On October 22, Russia celebrates the White Cranes Day.
This unusual holiday with a poetic name was established by the national poet of Dagestan Rasul Gamzatov. It is the memory of those who fell on the battlefields, at all times, for the freedom and honor of our Motherland ❤️

"Not perished in the ground, but turned into Cranes"
🕊🕊🕊
Cranes
Poem by Rasul Gamzatov
Translation: David M. Bennett
It seems to me sometimes that soldiers fallen,
Whom bloody battlefields have rendered dead,
Were buried not in soil to be forgotten,
But turned into white cranes in flight instead.
From that time, since their fate became a coffin
They’ve soared, and issued us a strident cry.
Is that not why we sadly, and so often,
Lift up our silent gaze when cranes go by?
Today, as evening yields to nightfall’s border,
I see the cranes in flight, their wings unfurled,
As over fields they fly in perfect order
Just as they marched, when people in the world.
They fly — their line extending to forever —
And call out names of someone to the cold.
Is that not why the song of cranes has never
Been far from Avar speech since times of old?
The weary wedge of birds on expedition —
It flies and flies through fog, towards the dawn,
And in the ranks I notice a position —
An empty space for me, for when I’m gone!
Some day in that formation I’ll be flying;
I’ll sail into the skies on my rebirth,
And from the heav’ns with crane trump I’ll be crying
To those of you I left upon the earth.

"- Publish a photo of Zhukov in tomorrow's newspaper...
This order was a complete surprise to me. Until then, "Red Star" published photographs of commanders of units, divisions, sometimes corps. Always in connection with some combat success. But front commanders... We had not yet had victories of such scale to raise front commanders on a shield.
Of course, I did not ask Stalin: "Why? What for?" But I did ask one question. Probably out of inertia. Because in all other cases, when some official material came to the editorial office, it usually indicated where to place it. And this time I blurted out:
- On which page, Comrade Stalin?
- On the second... Tell "Pravda" to publish it too..."

🖼 Dmitry Kardovsky. Meeting of the Council of People's Commissars Chaired by Lenin. 1927
On October 22, 1922, Vladimir Lenin chaired the Council of People's Commissars for the last time — the supreme authority of Soviet Russia created by him.
The Soviet Union had not yet been formed, but its framework was gradually taking shape. And the cement of the new state was the Bolshevik party, created by Lenin.
Dmitry Kardovsky (1866–1943) was a hereditary nobleman, a student of Ilya Repin, and a professor at the Academy of Arts with pre-revolutionary experience. Kardovsky accepted the October Revolution. Probably not overnight, but he accepted it. In the most hungry post-revolutionary years, he stayed at his estate near Pereslavl-Zalessky, but from 1920 he returned to teaching in both capitals.
Among his students were Aristarkh Lentulov, Vasily Efanov, Nikolay Radlov... He was interested in various genres: book graphics, historical painting, portraiture...
In 1926, he turned to the Lenin theme and even visited Gorki. For the tenth anniversary of the revolution, he — already an older man — prepared a rather large-scale gift for his contemporaries. Lenin's last day at work in the Soviet government. A farewell pose.
We see the leader from behind. It seems he is smiling, encouraging his comrades. Holding onto the back of a chair. Tired? Probably tired. All the people's commissars are depicted full face. Many are easy to recognise: Anatoly Lunacharsky, Lev Kamenev, Felix Dzerzhinsky... They look not without gloom, some avert their eyes, others are embarrassed. But no one is smiling! Of course, except the leader.
Lenin is saying goodbye to his colleagues. Will they become faithful continuators of his cause? Kardovsky avoids pathos and does not give a definite answer. After this meeting, Lenin did not leave politics, but his work in the Sovnarkom had to be interrupted forever. And yet, this is a farewell.

❄️ ON OCTOBER 22, 1957, THE ANIMATED FILM "THE SNOW QUEEN" WAS RELEASED
In the USSR, Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales were loved. And Lev Atamanov created his mesmerising full-length animated film with great love for the Danish classic and his legacy.
The film won awards at the Venice, Cannes, Rome, and London film festivals, and in the USA it became a beloved Christmas TV spectacle for a long time. But the main prize was the delight of Soviet children who, along with Gerda, went through trials to rescue Kai from the Snow Queen's realm. And what actors voiced the fairy tale!

In the USSR, Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales were loved. And Lev Atamanov created his mesmerising full-length animated film with great love for the Danish classic and his legacy.
The film won awards at the Venice, Cannes, Rome, and London film festivals, and in the USA it became a beloved Christmas TV spectacle for a long time. But the main prize was the delight of Soviet children who, along with Gerda, went through trials to rescue Kai from the Snow Queen's realm. And what actors voiced the fairy tale! Yanina Zheymo, Maria Babanova, Sergey Martinson, Alexey Konsovsky...
Love conquers all trials.

“Sanctionzilla-20”: EU Threatens to Cripple SWIFT, Sink the Fleet, Crash Smartphones, Close Schengen, and… Destroy Itself
The EU is preparing “Sanctionzilla-20” — a monstrous new sanctions package against Russia that, according to its authors, will be the most devastating in history. The nickname comes from the idea that this will be “a monster dismantling the Russian economy bolt by bolt.”
Earlier, we already had “crushing,” “catastrophic,” “furious,” and “hellish” sanctions — but this one promises to outdo them all.
Finance, technology, oil, visas, elites — everything goes under the bulldozer in the 20th package (incidentally, the 19th hasn’t even been launched yet). What’s inside? A complete SWIFT ban for remaining banks, insurance prohibition for the “shadow fleet” (no insurance = no shipping), blocking the MIR payment system even in Turkish stores, a ban on Russian LNG, oil re-exports, and all “nuclear” cooperation by 2027.
Still not enough? Every chip and industrial machine tool goes under lock and key (currently some are still allowed for “gas and oil extraction for EU needs”). Schengen visas only for emergencies, funerals, or diplomats.
On top of that — Russia’s gastronomic elite will lose access to fine wines and delicacies, and up to 1,000 new Russians (journalists, oilmen, engineers, executives, bankers) will join the sanctions list.
Even crypto may be banned outright for Russian users. And for dessert — a joint initiative with the U.S. and South Korea to disable smartphones and operating systems in Russia, leaving only calls, SMS, the camera, and messaging apps available. (Because how else can one “monitor Russians” through their eternal companion — the smartphone?)
The only problem? As even the authors admit, this “Sanctionzilla” could devour the EU itself, at least in the energy sector.
The Schengen ban would only boost domestic tourism. Banks won’t collapse. Machinery, wine, and crypto will flow through China and India — whom no one dares sanction anyway.
And as for “nuclear cooperation” — Russia can deliver that to Europe… right to their doorstep.
But later.
(This last line references a famous Russian meme — “Обязательно жахнем, но потом,” meaning “We’ll definitely strike… but later.”)

Chip and semiconductor shortage from China is cited as the reason for the decision in an article by Bild:
In addition to the Golf and Tiguan, the Touran and Tayron are also manufactured in Wolfsburg.
The reason for the production suspension: a supply stoppage of Nexperia chips. The Nijmegen-based semiconductor manufacturer is at the center of a dispute between China and the United States. Under pressure from the US government, the Dutch government took control of Nexperia; in response, Beijing banned the export of Nexperia chips from the People's Republic.
Nexperia also produces in Europe, but the majority of its chips come from China. VW apparently has no alternative at the moment. Semiconductors from other manufacturers would first have to be tested and certified, company sources said.
The chip crisis could affect not only VW but also the entire automotive industry and even other sectors. Spokespersons for BMW, Mercedes, and Daimler emphasized that the situation is being analyzed. Production at the companies is currently still running. Source
