Yeah, loads of people in Libya getting their news from the BBC back then.

That's totally a thing.

What are you talking about? The BBC held interviews where they accused Gaddafi of attacking his own people, he responded correctly explaining that just small numbers of Al-Qaida were attacking his people. The BBC were showing the West this news. The Libyan people had no problems with Gaddafi's rule.

After the shitshow of the West blowing the fuck out of the country, Al-Qaida took over huge areas of the country, and said goodbye to the wealthy gold Dinar which would have crippled the Dollar.

The Libyan people rebelled against and killed Gaddafi. I think they had done problems with him.

People always have problems with everyone, it doesn't make the broadcast narrative any more valid

So what makes your fictional narrative valid?

Because it aligns with your biases?

No, I watched the news from various sources at the time it occurred. I saw how the BBC fakes a protest by filming a group of about 10 men zoomed in to make it seem like his people were rioting in the streets against him, it's a common tactic. I saw the Russia and on the news state that the BBC's statement about bombs was a lie. Or you can just suckle on the tit of the military industrial complex that feeds the American Dollar and believe everything you see on the western news so that it helps you sleep at night, so you don't have the conscience of ruining a country just to satisfy the greed of a few Jews and Hilary Clinton.
