In 2010 and 2011 the Hillary Clinton State Department, working with NATO allies (particularly France), triggered a crisis in Libya during the Obama administration’s intentional effort to remove Muammar Gaddafi from power. This was a key element to the Arab Spring (Islamist Spring or Color Revolution) that flowed from the Cairo, Egypt, speech of President Obama a year prior.
Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice and Samanta Power (R2P) were the architects of the destabilization plan. After the country was destabilized and thrown into severe violent crisis by the U.S. support for radical Islamists in eastern Libya (Benghazi region), President Obama then signed (Feb, 2011) a national emergency declaration in regard to the destabilized Libya his administration created.
Five years later, in April 2016, President Obama expanded the Libya emergency declaration to extend the 2011 declaration and envelop a larger portion of North Africa, under the auspices of expanded threats from AQIM (al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb). This extension allowed the state dept to frame actions in neighboring Egypt, and block any effort to counteract Obama’s mid-east policy which was established to support the Muslim Brotherhood. In April 2016 it was presumed Hillary Clinton would win the election and continue the policy.
Today, a full twelve years after Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton destabilized Libya throwing it into a tribal civil war, Joe Biden signs an executive order continuing the extension of the U.S. National Emergency with regard to Libya {White House Link}.
[…] “The situation in Libya continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States, and measures are needed to protect against the diversion of assets or other abuses by members of Qadhafi’s family, their associates, and other persons hindering Libyan national reconciliation.
For this reason, the national emergency declared on February 25, 2011, and expanded on April 19, 2016, must continue in effect beyond February 25, 2023. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13566.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress. (read full)
I’ll give him this…
There is a national emergency all right…
Emergency, thy name is Joe Biden.
He needs a free helicopter ride over Libya.
Nope. Needs his nose bone shoved into his brain.
Balloon ride.
Uh oh, maybe he’ll extend the pandemic measures set to expire in May too!
Why not through 2123 … just to be sure.
You can’t be too careful.
You’re right, that’s why I think we may still have one in place against the Brits from 1776.
“A full twelve years after Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton destabilized Libya throwing it into a tribal civil war, Joe Biden signs an executive order continuing the extension of the U.S. National Emergency with regard to Libya”
What difference does it make now?! H/t HRC
Re Libya: It would make sense to revert to the Italian borders and create two nations: Tripolitania in the east, and Cyrenaica in the West. Elections were to be held last year and postponed. If and when they occur it just might be possible that Seif al Qadafi, son of Muamar, might win. And that neither the USA nor the Islamists could stomach.
Sorry, should say Tripolitania in the west, and Cyrenaica in the east.
We came, we saw, and launched another perpetual US sponsored WAR … cackle, cackle, cackle
National Emergency?
What does Obama (Biden) intend that isn’t allowed the executive branch normally?
monticello: Keeping information about US involvement in Libya secret, well beyond ordinary statutes and limitations.
That’s the speciality of the 4th branch.
“National Security” and “sources and methods”, among other excuses to bury something pretty much forever.
In Clown World (4th illicit branch) the largest reason for last weeks distractions may be the IC/social media mastitis infection that was revealed. (titillating relationship )
Considering the timing of the 2016 Arab Spring Libya coincides with the high probability of authorizing such illicit relationships like contractors reviewing intel? Keeping the lid on that can of worms?
This joke of an administration, is well versed in pulling things out of its ass, when convenient.
Unfortunately they see that as a two-way street.
Why didn’t Trump rescind it?
Maybe he did and the cabal just brought it back in.
Sundance didn’t expound on that though, which is interesting.
From my past research, we would have to look at those Executive Orders during 1/2017 through 12/2020 to be certain.
Just my thoughts.
Same question. I hate Biden (really Obama’s third term), but hard to criticize on this if Trump didn’t rescind it and kept it going.
It’s really amazing to see how long they’ve been planning and working all their plans of destruction.
Sundance, when you present this great reminder summary, it just really hits home.
”In april 2016 it was presumed hiLIARy would win the election and continue…”
So that explains it….we are getting all of HRC’s stuff coupled Jobama stuff…all in one administration.
Lots of catching up to do, as well as trying to get ahead of a potential future non-Commie presidency.
i str0ngly dislike modern fabians
they took a not-so-bad idea and ruined it.
Leading From Behind.
That’s gotta hurt!
Funny that Joe Biden and the Democrats are ok with extending the National Security Emergency in Libya THAT THEY CAUSED, but don’t raise a peep about the Middle Class and Working Poor here in the USA are suffering under rampant Inflation and a hard recession!
… and foreign invasion
Nearly every Westerner in the above photos is dead or no longer holds an official position in government, yet the chaos they set in motion rages on.
Which means either the individuals themselves are not that important, and that it is the system which perpetuates the chaos; or that the positions these people held are not that important, and they can continue to perpetuate the chaos without holding legally sanctioned power.
My opinion is that the results reflect a bit of both possibilities. Regardless, those results are further proof representative government’s current form is facade.
The Communist Conspiracy was set into motion the very year of our Founding.
Itself a continuation of the war against all Creation by the Father of Lies.
Here you go, Maquis. Saved this for a comment just like yours.

And the latest essay from Archbishop Vigano, whose voice has an increasing urgency to it. A voice which, more and more, I seek because, as I believe, Almighty God speaks through it.
Abbas Father, be with us in this battle against the forces which seek to destroy all You created. We ask in the Name of your Beloved Son, our Saviour Christ Jesus.

One of the most important voices in this world, thanks Bet.
Ugh, posts landed weird, this is in response to Cardinal Vigano’s profound offering.
I understood😉
You are very welcome, my friend.
He ain’t wrong, but I ain’t laying low.
You don’t have to be 25 to be a hero, and for those of us too old, or to neglected by the VA, to go epic, we’ve that much less to lose and that much more wisdom to bring to the fight.
I wear my Trump Punisher pin everywhere I go, and strike up conversations everytime I’m able.
This is for all the marbles, and posterity is counting on our courage.
This one is in response to Cernovich’s missive, which is, again, largely instructive, but the conclusion to “lay low” rubs me wrong, not that you’ll ever see me wearing a sandwich-board downtown . . .
Yes, bothered me as well.
But in the sense that one should always have more than you show, speak less than you know, I think that’s the way I interpreted it. And no sandwich boards for me either…
“No” is becoming a big word in my vocabulary.
What’s a “Trump Punisher”?
Here an emergency …
There an emergency …
Everywhere an emergency …
All these emergencies call for emergency measures …
Let’s just suspend these annoying freedoms
so we can attend to all these emergencies.
That’s the idea I think, Leon. Well said.
Like every other word they use…emergency, racist, misogynist, homophone, etc. 🥱🥱
It truly is all getting rather tedious.
That said, we will keep pushing back.
Cheers!
But harder…
(Sturgeon, like Arden, gone! Good!)
👍🏴
I always just ask, “Did you know that the word ‘homophobe’ means ‘fear of humankind'”?
LOL. Dumbasses.
Or “fear of the same” , the Greek prefix.
Why wouldn’t they do this?
It’s not like there’s an opposition party that’s going to put up any resistance.
You got that right.
Election integrity preserving demockrcy
Everything the criminally corrupt kenyan can do to promote and support his besties in the muslim world, he absolutely does. He’s every bit as much a piece of human waste now as he was during his formal disastrous terms in office. He’s likely more destructive now as the stings behind the Demented Fraud. Nice gift of 85 billion worth of top notch military equipment he left them in Afghanistan
I think us old retired guys along with a few newbies with a thirst for freedom need to make a stand before the poo really
hits the fan. I believe that President Trump did so many great things that were bringing our country back to what we
here at CTH call normal. Then the Uniparty stole the election and I think we all knew what was coming. That’s why so many folks went down to the District of Corruption to show not only our support but to LEGALLY AND LAWFULLY defend our votes. Unfortunately, Piglosi (advised by others much smarter than she) was one step ahead and already had a plan to trap so many Patriots.
We will never know the truth about what happened from the day of the steal to the days leading up to the Usurper being
installed but if the decision to exercise the Insurrection Act was barred because of “riots” then it backfired big time.
As witnessed on J6, President Trump had 100% of the hard working, gun toting folks that have kept this country sane behind him.
Instead of getting rid of the scum that stole the election via hangings (looking at you Judas Pence) and firing squads we now have the current situation which most here are aware of.
IMO, it is going to end in a violent uprising now no matter what but with President Trump we would have been much better
off dealing with whatever scenarios would have arose then than what we have now.
You can call me a warmonger, a crazy man or any other name but mark my words……The working class of this country are gonna go down just like Russia, just like China…..just like the Joker said, without a fight because we really don’t give a F***
Those who don’t read history and aren’t taught it will repeat it. We old folks read it, we know what is coming. We need to
organize, fight, defeat and destroy.
The “Quilt meeting” scheduled for Saturday night has been cancelled. Plan accordingly.
Good Night and God Bless!-R. Skelton
Well-said
There is no Nation. Just some crooked power-mad dictators clinging to Power by any Big Lie at hand.
There’s your Emergency.
You know guys….. yeah you. You guys — in the MIC. It woulda been much easier to leave Ghaddafi alone and let the people handle him. But hey, it looks like instability is the way to go these days! Now we’re all paying the price.
He was in the way of the invasion of Europe of incompatible males of fighting age.
As long as it’s an “emergency” no one is allowed to do a full investigation into who was making the decisions and what their rationale was for doing so, right?
Libya, C0v1d, Ukraine, the Jabs, Jan 6th…everything is an “emergency” now! And the big question is if Frank Luntz’s roommate will push back or just roll over like every one of his predecessors!
Little Kevie, Frank’s boyfriend, will only do what the uniparty allows him to do.
don’t shoot me for asking …. but, i’m curious.
Why didn’t Trump end it?
was it GOPes standing in his way?
I replied to that above Deborah.
Pres. Trump may have rescinded that executive order and the cabal brought it forth now after combing through their files of executive orders.
The only way to really find out is to go search through the executive orders from 1/2017 through 12/2020.
It’s interesting Sundance did not mention President Trump’s term, that is why I surmise that it was discontinued under his administration and this regime brought it out from hiding and renewed for 1 year, which means they have something planned in that region for more destructive purposes and need that maneuver. The same people involved originally are still working in this regime; he brought all back in.
They have Ohio Emergency Management and rules in state law that saw carrying hazardous materials, trains have to go 30 miles an hour through any populated areas. States should take care of local laws. On Fed level National Emergencies are sometimes used as bargaining chips—but this one has gone on too long with Libya—something is up!
Yeah, Europe hasn’t fallen to the Islamic hordes.
Yet.
Reminds me of the words spoken by Marc Antony in Shakespear’s Julius Ceasar, “The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones.”
Most, if not all of Obama’s policies have proven to be disasters for this country.
Excellent quote
Still, Heaven keeps score too.
Correct, everything the Kenyan does is to destroy America and support his middle east muslim bros
Are they stealing the oil to sell to Europe?
They are in Syria.
Can’t we put a muzzle on this delusional meat puppet cut the control strings then hang the master
TIME FOR ANOTHER HUMILIATING MILITARY FAILURE:
For a military-industrial empire that maintains approximately 800 military bases around the world and that spends more on its military than the next seven countries (as well as 144 other countries) combined, the U.S. global hegemonic empire is clearly crumbling before our eyes today, following decades of slow decay. The last war that the U.S. unambiguously won was World War II—and that victory was only possible because of the fighting of the Soviet Union, Great Britain, and other Allies in addition to America. That big win was almost 80 years ago.
Since then, the U.S. military-industrial complex has lurched from one military debacle to another in an almost constant state of warfare, with each conflict characterized by either eventual failure or, at best, ambiguous results. The many geopolitical messes created by these U.S. military interventions have, nevertheless, been very financially profitable for the elitist warmonger class. And after all, the U.S. purports to be “exceptional” among nations, so it has a self-declared right to meddle where ever and whenever it wants to meddle, regardless of the negative consequences.
https://www.unz.com/article/time-for-another-humiliating-failure-for-the-fading-american-empire/
Cont’d….And so here we are today. As I write these words, the United States military machine is apparently on the verge of yet another spectacular defeat—this time against Russian forces in Ukraine. This bitter fact has been hidden by the American and Western mainstream corporate media, but it has been expertly articulated by a few honest commentators, such as Douglas Macgregor. Yet another war instigated and fought by the U.S., via proxy, against an imaginary enemy for no reasons other than financial profit and a delusional sense of maintaining its obviously crippled and rapidly diminishing world hegemony. Wasting valuable resources in destroying another foreign country, pushing some kind of sick neoliberal woke agenda, even as America seems to be collapsing in all areas of its society at home. The brilliantly perceptive Chris Hedges has referred to this insanity as “woke imperialism.”
Obviously sensing—though still refusing to publicly admit—the inevitable impending defeat against Russia, the crazed, senile, and/or desperate U.S. elitist “leaders” are now spreading more hysterical lies (just like they did with Russia and Ukraine, Iraq, Vietnam, etc) as they begin to switch their warmongering focus to China and Taiwan. Yeah, like that’s gonna go any better for them than their crazy provoked proxy war against Russia!
Considering the aborning Derp State coup effort in Hungary and Poland spinning up to do something epically militarily stupid I don’t think Ukraine is something they intend to pivot away from, though they know they will fail, and intelligent observers can only conclude such was always their intention.
Anyways, we all know Biden can walk and chew gum at the same time, right? Right???
Absolutely!
Since it’s more apparent daily, they are stumbling their way into WW III, and as we are witnessing, it’s being felt in the USA.
The Hungary President is a very solid guy. He should be deporting every person associated with the current US government
I pray so.
Taiwan is just another cash cow for US military vendors until China decides just to take it.
I read a while back that Afghanistan was $20T alone. If it were Iraq, Iran, Gulf War, Libya. Etc, it might equal our total debt.
Good God.
CIA Arrives in Libya to Manipulate Elections
William Burns, CIA director, arrived in Libya on January 12 and met with Libyan Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibe in Tripoli, and others.
The Tripoli group is headed by Dbeibe, head of the Government of National Unity, recognized by the UN, and tied to the Muslim Brotherhood.
https://strategic-culture.org/news/2023/01/17/cia-arrives-in-libya-to-manipulate-elections/
But of course he did.
Tree sourcing for the win.
https://youtu.be/AcWOeYlR3w0. Trains, digital id., crisis actors. This is interesting. Byden is the mouthpiece of Soros club, Seems like.
So I’m reading about a Rally in DC on Sunday called Rage Against the War Machine where people are marching to the Whitehouse to demand an end to the billions of dollars going toUkraine. Another article in The Hill has Schumer and Mitch McConnell, in Munich germany tonight celebrating the fact that we are celebrating sending 113 Billion dollars we are giving to ukraine and Mcconnell telling the people not to listen to twitter about how the Americans are complaining about all the money they are sending, that they The senators are the ones who to listen to. https;//twitter.com/rageagainstwar?lang=en andhttps;//thehill.com/policy/international/3863450-schumer-mcconnell-visit-munich-conference-in-show-of-support-for-ukraine/ I mean the AUDACITY!!
Yeah, no chance the Feebs are prepared to exploit the hell out of that . . .
Hopefully the German citizens will grap Crying UpChucky and the Turtle. They’d be doing the US a real favor keeping those two over there.
Everything from them is one enormous middle finger to regular Americans.
Libya belongs to a category of Arab states that have little to lose by encouraging hostility toward Israel.
https://www.danielgreenfield.org/2023/02/after-biden-sent-1b-to-plo-israeli.html
The price of suggesting another path that cuts out the hegemony. Ghaddafi willingly turned in his chemical weapons after 9/11. They were stashed in a poultry farm if memory serves.
Make no mistake this is what the saga in Ukraine/Russia is about too.
We must fight/pushback with money too and we can! Let’s think on how that can be accomplished. We will need to work in unison.
I recall him turning over his nuke program.
“Smart power.”
Not to mention her new team, ISIS, armed to the teeth.
I will never forget the callousness of Hillary Clinton when she belly-laughed on the media, “We came, we saw, and he died.” Gaddafi was hideously tortured to death along with his son.
Over the last few years, I have read more about Gaddafi’s ideas in forming and leading the African Union, how he wanted to improve living conditions of Africans. His government was totalitarian and socialist, but the country was stable. We had no problem with Gaddafi for years until he proposed an African defensive and economic union where a united African money system would be the basis of trade in African resources and in purchasing goods, including oil. This not only threatened the petro-dollar, but also would have stopped the multinational corporations and banks from plundering African resources as debt payments in dollars undercutting African’s ability to profit from their own resources.
We couldn’t have that, so we destabilized the country, got our NATO buddies to bomb Libya, and with weapons supplied to the eastern rebels, we destroyed Libya’s stable government. Today the people live in poverty. Last week, more than 30 people were killed in fighting between rival militias both of which want power in Tripoli.
Libya is under sanctions, but the US Treasury Department grants licenses that go around these sanctions such as the OFAC general license #5 “Authorizing Transactions Related to Certain Oil, Gas, or Petroleum Products Exported from Libya”. Yes, the US wants all that lovely petroleum and gas from Libya and it will be easier to siphon off if we keep emergency control over the country and continue the poverty and instability that we can exploit.
France is in deep in printing African coinage and extracting significant resources for the privilege of their enforced poverty. France is who we were leading from behind (ick) in Libya.
Imma gonna have to dive into French media soon to see what’s new on this front, now that we’ve essentially doubled down on the grift there.
Yes. All comes back to the banksters. The financial system.
I wonder how many will turn out for the stop the war march tomorrow
“Joe Biden signs an executive order continuing the extension of the U.S. National Emergency with regard to Libya”
Ooof. It’s almost like they have COVID over there.
Seriously, a National Emergency that goes on for this long is not being taken seriously as a National Emergency by those who declared it, or allow it to go on.
The government uses emergencies to expand their power without ever solving the problem they claims exists.
It’s past time to severely curtail and limit executive orders.
And DEFINE THEM, their basis in constitutional law, limit in scope and implementation. They were NEVER meant to be autocratic in nature, and a substitute for normal legislation.
And to this day thanks to the Obama Deception and treasonous actions of all involved especially the Hillary Clinton monster leftist true war mongers policies continue in the Middle East and Ukraine is the crowning gem for Biden
They need to keep the muslim invasion going into Europe. They want Libya wide open.
More bullshit from the bullshitter in chief.
The President should not be able to unilaterally declare anything an “emergency.” This is a work around the Constitution. It should be requested and then approved by both chambers of Congress. If these fools can vote remotely for Covid…then they can vote for an Emergency declaration. The counter will be- emergencies are dire and action is needed fast. Yep, I agree, if it’s a real emergency. And thus- the elected fools can quickly muster and vote- if it’s so dire, of course.
It would prevent this crap. And, how are problems in Libya an American Emergency? Usurping the Constitution right in front of our faces.
It is amazing how Sundance can learn and know of all this little intricate details our corrupt government creates.
Thank you for sharing the knowledge you have.
Empires end when they can no longer pay their legions. We rapidly approach that day.
In the end days of the Roman Empire, the center was issuing debased currency, and only the legions on the outskirts of it were getting paid in silver. Such is the way with dying empires.
War. Never. End$.
I worked for some years in a law school library. One of my duties was as clerk of government documents. A regular arrival in shipments of these documents were these extensions of “National Emergencies”. I just had to shake my head at them; these so-called “National Emergencies” were transparent efforts to keep the pot boiling, thereby retaining pressure on resistant nations, and/or keeping the pump primed to gush out more fed bucks to keep some sort of grift going.
Not an edifying sight.
Another big win for Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, et.al.
I think we need to enact a state veto mechanism over all federal decisions outside of Art 3.
How exactly is Libya (or Afghanistan for that matter) a threat to the U.S.? President Trump ended our foreign adventures and defused the North Korea crisis started by Obama during his term and Brandon quickly started them up again and added threats from North Korea, Syria, Afghanistan Russia, and China back into the mix in his first year in office while doing his best to destroy our military capability and morale, leaving our country at great risk./
Thanks This has not been widely reported, has it? (For those of you in Rio Linda, this is snarky understatement).
A perfect example of why the ‘executive’ at every level of government should never have power to declare an emergency for any reason for longer than 30 days. Each 30 day extension of every emergency should require approval the appropriate ‘legislative’ body.
Of course, the goal is always to usurp power from the people and their representatives.
Why didn’t DJT rescind or end this during his 4 years?
