Muammar Gaddafi gave up his nuclear program in 2003.
He negotiated. He complied. He handed over the centrifuges and the documentation and accepted international inspectors and did everything the West said a responsible leader should do.
He believed the deal.
He believed that compliance would produce security.
In 2011, NATO bombed his country for seven months.
Hillary Clinton, upon hearing of his death, after he had been captured, sodomized with a bayonet, and killed by a mob, appeared on camera and laughed:
"We came, we saw, he died."
Kim Jong-un watched this.
The Iranian leadership watched this.
Every government on Earth that was considering what compliance with Western demands actually produces watched this.
Gaddafi is the lesson.
Not the lesson the West wants to teach.
The lesson history actually teaches.
The empire does not reward disarmament.
It schedules it.
This woman is an absolute disgrace to UK politics.
So early prisoner release is the government's fault.
Nothing to do with the Tory Party closing 23 prisons, cutting 12,500 prison places, bringing the criminal justice system to the brink of collapse.

Israel has committed so many shocking atrocities over the past 2.5 years that many forgot how it massacred over 300 people in a November 2023 strike on Gaza’s Al-Sabra neighborhood
112 of those victims from two clans were just extracted from the rubble and given a mass funeral
Tony Blinken, Jake Sullivan, Brett McGurk and Kamala Harris all have this blood on their hands
The UK government successfully lobbied the BBC to axe a report revealing the British Army killed an unarmed child in Derry during the Troubles in 1972, newly released documents reveal.
A week after 15-year-old Daniel Hegarty was shot dead, the Ministry of Defence falsely claimed he had been killed from a distance of 25 metres by a soldier who believed the child was armed.
But a memo sent days after the 31 July incident showed senior personnel knew Hegarty had in fact been killed by a “general purpose machine gun” at point-blank range.
Hegarty’s killer was an 18-year-old known only as ‘Soldier B’, who shot him during Operation Motorman, a British Army push to retake "no-go areas" controlled by residents and Irish republican paramilitaries.
Soldier B reportedly told an October 1973 inquest: “I cocked the weapon and when the youths were about 25 metres away I aimed at the leading man and fired a quick burst” of bullets.
The declassified documents, obtained by the Pat Finucane Centre, show that BBC Panorama correspondent Alan Hart spoke to witnesses of the shooting who said Hegarty and two cousins who were with him were unarmed and posed no threat.
Hart then approached the British Army in Derry for comment. His request reached the office of prime minister Edward Heath, whose press secretary Donald Maitland instructed a senior official at the Northern Ireland Office (NIO) to “persuade Panorama not to include this tragic incident in the projected programme”.
The pressure worked, and the BBC omitted the segment when the programme aired on 7 August 1972.
“After a major effort, the NIO managed to get the item removed from Monday’s programme,” NIO spokesperson RJ Seaman told the Ministry of Defence the following day.
Hegarty’s sister, Margaret Brady, told the Irish News last week: “We could have been spared decades of hurt and heartbreak if they had admitted what they knew, that Daniel was innocent, unarmed and shot at close range.”
Brady has called on the BBC to locate unaired footage of interviews with her parents in the aftermath of the killing. The corporation told Derry Journal it would “make every effort to locate the footage… although at this point we cannot say if it still exists.”
Reform UK often presents itself as the party taking on “the establishment”.
Yet Electoral Commission records show it has received tens of millions of pounds from a relatively small group of wealthy donors.
Read the names. Read the figures. Then decide for yourself who really funds Britain’s newest major political party.
The Football Association of Ireland have banned Irish fans from watching Ireland play football in Ireland so genocidal Israelis feel safe — diabolical from a once-colonised country
The big four banks have announced even more mega profits.
They're making billions more from the higher interest rates that are hammering households.
I'm backing a Windfall Tax on these excess bank profits to raise billions for action on the cost of living crisis.

Palantir dodging Corporation Tax in the UK.
Why is it not an absolutely basic requirement of public sector contracts that the profits are registered for tax in the UK?

So the @BBCWorld is mortified that a Russian drone can chase someone through the streets of Kiev, hunt them down and kill them while Zelensky shouts it's a war crime. It may well be, and it is a horrific way to die, and it should be investigated, but sorry if I don't share your shock and moral outrage - you see I've watched this shit which is happening on the hour every bloody hour in #GazaGenocide and during a freakin' ceasefire. Stop treating Ukranian lives as being much more precious than those of brown skinned Palestinians. When is this blatant racism going to stop at the BBC? https://t.co/Hl1j7H2eUz
