Cash-strapped protesters stormed NTC building in Benghazi while the puppet  in chief was still in.
Mr.Abdul Jalil should remember that hunger brings anger and mess.The honeymoon is over,if it has ever existed.

BENGHAZI, Libya | Sat Jan 21, 2012 3:01pm EST
By Mohammad Al Tommy
(Reuters) - Protesters stormed the Benghazi headquarters of Libya's ruling National Transitional Council (NTC) Saturday while its chairman was still in the building.

People in Benghazi, birthplace of the revolt which forced out former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, have been protesting for weeks to demand the sacking of Gaddafi-era officials and more transparency about how the NTC is spending Libyan assets.

The attack is a serious blow to the self-appointed but internationally recognized NTC, and underscores growing discontent over the way it is running the country.

Many of those who fought in the nine-month civil war that ended with the capture and killing of Gaddafi in October are unhappy with cash compensations promised by the government, saying it does not cover their basic needs.

On a Saturday, hundreds of young men, many wounded from the war, rallied outside the NTC's headquarters.

When Abdul Jalil, NTC chairman, came out in an attempt to address the crowd, some protesters hurled empty plastic bottles at him, prompting security forces to fire tear gas.

"Go away, Go away," the protesters chanted as Abdul Jalil spoke. He then went back into the building but he is believed to have been pulled to safety from a back door when the crowd charged into the building.

SPOILS OF WAR

Protesters threw stones and metal bars at the building, breaking its windows, before storming the headquarters. One protester left the building carrying a set of loudspeakers and screaming: "Spoils of war!"

Angry protesters also damaged a Toyota Land Cruiser used by Abdul Jalil.

"A large number of wounded people were unhappy because the National (Transitional) Council has not met their demands," said 30-year-old Tareq al-Gheryani as he watched people attacking the NTC's headquarters,
Thursday, Abdul Hafiz Ghoga, vice president of the NTC, was roughed up by university students in Benghazi. He was surrounded by a crowd and jostled before he was pulled away to safety.

A "revolution" in trouble.

BBC Reporting
22 January 2012 Last updated at 10:12 ET

The deputy head of Libya's ruling National Transitional Council (NTC) says he has resigned amid growing protests against him.

Abdel Hafiz Ghoga told Al-Jazeera TV that he was resigning in the national interest.

Several hundred protesters stormed the NTC headquarters in the second city Benghazi on Saturday.

Observers say it was the most serious show of anger at the new authorities since Col Muammar Gaddafi was ousted.

Mr Ghogha, an NTC spokesman, has become a focus for protesters demanding more openness from the NTC.

They accuse him of being an opportunist, who switched allegiances from the regime of Col Gaddafi as the uprising gained strength.

"My resignation is for the benefit of the nation and is required at this stage," Mr Ghoga told Al-Jazeera.

"Unfortunately, the consensus has not continued to maintain the highest national interests. The atmosphere of deprivation and hatred has prevailed, I do not want this atmosphere to continue and negatively affect the National Transitional Council and its performance," he added.

'Bottomless pit'

The NTC headquarters in the eastern city of Benghazi - from where the uprising against the Gaddafi regime began - has been the focus of protests in recent weeks.

The protesters want more transparency from the NTC
But Saturday night's protest turned violent, with the AFP news agency reporting that some protesters threw homemade bombs while others armed themselves with stones and iron bars before ransacking the building.

Many protesters believe the revolution that toppled Col Gaddafi is being taken away from them by people only interested in the money, the BBC's Gabriel Gatehouse in Libya says.

The head of the NTC, Mustafa Abdel Jalil, spoke to protesters on Sunday and urged them to have more patience.

"We are going through a political movement that can take the country to a bottomless pit," he said. "There is something behind these protests that is not for the good of the country."

"The people have not given the government enough time and the government does not have enough money. Maybe there are delays, but the government has only been working for two months. Give them a chance, at least two months."

According to Reuters news agency, when asked if Mr Ghoga would step down, Mr Abdel Jalil said he would not.

Our correspondent says Mr Ghoga's resignation adds to a current feeling of instability and flux in the country, and a sense that the NTC is not really in sole control.

Press TV: US deploys 12,000 troops in Libya

An excellent summation. . . not my words but in total agreement.

Collapse
because the oil is a red herring, The REAL reason the US/NAto is in Libya is the same reason they invade all sovereign nations, Force them to take a Roth$child owned Federal reserve style central bank that will be used to LOAN (print) the once soverign nation it's own money at interest the until it's in full fledged debt servitude like the USA, and most of Europe. Oil is nice, it's billions of dollars per year, Taking over the control of a nations currency (especially when Gaddafi made interest ILLEGAL , yes 0% interest was law on every loan in Libya) is worth trillions, and gives you the power to control the population through interest rates, inflation values and of course "austerity measures" when your debt trap takes full hold. Oh yeah, and having Nato cripple about 90% of the target country's infrastructure pretty much guarantees that Libya's new cronies in charge will accept a "Generous" 500 billion dollar loan from the NEW central bank at hefty interest.

This is the recipe in each and every country. In the USA they couldn't take over through war, so the bankers did it by deceit, 1913 Federal Reserve Act by pressuring Woodrow Wilson on Christmas eve right under your noses.

and just 3 years later he had this to say about his decision.

"We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world - no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men."

Guess what, that was 100 years ago, now over 200 countries have fallen victim like the USA. Libya was the most recent, and will not be the last, Why do you think Syria is REALLY on the chopping block? wink Look at their central bank, my friends,

cheers. be informed. Listen to me smiley "

The crisis is part of the global cabal of banksters and warmongers that want to control everything through a New World Order. Central banking is how they gut every nation on earth with debt and fiat currency. Compare what's going on today with:

Moscow’s ties with Syria grow stronger

By Charles Clover in Moscow

As Bashar al-Assad, Syria’s president, becomes more isolated by the day, Russia, one of his country’s most robust foreign allies, seems to be strengthening its attachment to him.
A Russian aircraft carrier docked this month in the Syrian port of Tartus, Moscow’s last remaining international naval base outside the former Soviet Union. No sooner had it sailed off than the Chariot, a Russian cargo ship, arrived with ammunition.

This week, as the Arab League urged Mr Assad to hand power to a national unity government, Moscow said it would sell Syria 36 fighter jets for $550m. Russia’s staunch support of Mr Assad is driven partly by a determination to avoid a repeat of what happened in Libya, when Moscow abstained from a UN resolution imposing a no-fly zone that contributed to the demise of Muammer Gaddafi, the country’s ruler.
The result was a diplomatic and commercial fiasco for Russia, with the new Libyan government vowing to punish Russian, and Chinese, companies for their government’s support of the former regime.
But the Kremlin said its mistake was not that it backed the wrong horse in Gaddafi – rather that it did not back him hard enough. This time they mean to defend their man.
Dmitry Medvedev, the Russian president, who made the decision to abstain in the UN vote on Libya in March, was heavily criticised when Nato warplanes went on the offensive and the operation, originally designed to protect civilians, became “a classic regime change scenario”, according to Fedor Lukyanov, editor of Russia in Global Affairs, a Moscow- based foreign policy journal.
“The decision to abstain is widely seen in Russia as a mistake. No one wants to put themselves in that position again,” he said.
Veto-wielding Russia has quashed any similar attempt to get a UN resolution on Syria, and seems certain to do so again, despite Arab League pressure.
“From the standpoint of strategy, it doesn’t seem to me that military intervention would be a successful step,” Mikhail Margelov, presidential envoy to Africa, who has been the Kremlin’s point man in Middle East diplomacy, told Russian television. “ISyria today needs additional efforts in order to get a dialogue started.”
In an attempt to pre-empt talk of armed intervention, Mr Margelov said the Arab League’s measures were working. “Monitors are a stabilising factor in Syria,” he insisted, despite Tuesday’s withdrawal of monitors from Gulf Co-operation Council nations from the league’s mission to Syria.
Russian analysts also believe the west is naive in allowing itself to be drawn into yet another Arab revolution with unclear consequences. “The Russian side doesn’t buy the argument about a popular uprising,” Mr Lukyanov said. “Instead, the Syrian crisis is seen as a geopolitical battle between the Sunni Arab monarchies and Iran [for whom Syria is an important ally],” he added.
“The western idea to crush every dictatorship and open a Pandora’s box across the Middle East is just madness,” said Sergei Markov, deputy director of the Plekhanov Economic Academy in Moscow and former member of parliament, who accused US and its Nato allies of “deception” in their imposition of a no-fly zone in Libya.
Russia’s decision once again to back what seems like a lost cause may be rooted in its past. Mr Assad is one of Russia’s last allies in the Middle East: Hafez, his father, was a long-time Soviet client and the relationship has been passed down a generation.
“Russia’s presence in the Middle East is a legacy of Soviet times,” Mr Lukyanov said. “We don’t think the Mideast’s new rulers will need Russia, whatever our position was when they came to power. The only chance we have to continue a relationship and to earn dividends from it is if the old regimes stay.”

@Afro_Blue, can you expatiate on your theory of America being controlled through its Central Bank by some powerful people. I think your notion is too simplistic, but I still want to read your opinions.

The work has already been done. Feel free to read and study the links below on how the elite use the central banking scam and how this pertains to your question on the colony of the USA.

No need for me to type out a lengthy dissertation on a message board to prove that I have functional lobes in my head, or try to impress anyone. It wouldn't put on naira or dollar in my pocket. I enjoy this medium of exchange of sharing and quickly reading news articles from around the world. I occasionally 'expatiate a theory' if topic arouses an intense passion in me and warrants the investment in time.
