Answer
Libya Riots linked to Gaddafiâs comments on Israel?
Is it merely a coincidence that less than a week after Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi threatened Israel by calling on Palestinians to capitalize on the wave of popular uprisings in the Middle East by massing peacefully on the borders of the Zionist state, his own regime is teetering on the brink of extinction following massive anti-government riots in Benghazi and Tripoli?
On Sunday last week, Gaddafi urged the Arab world to revolt against Israel during a speech on state television.
âFleets of boats should take Palestinians ⦠and wait by the Palestinian shores until the problem is resolved,â Gaddafi said. âThis is a time of popular revolutions.â
âWe need to create a problem for the world. This is not a declaration of war. This is a call for peace,â he said.
Low and behold, just days after Gaddafiâs very bold threat to seize on the wave of revolutions as a means of toppling Israel, Gaddafi himself is forced to flee Tripoli as protesters burn down government buildings and take control of entire cities.
This tells you an awful lot about who is really behind the wave of revolutions sweeping the region â the US military industrial-complex that kick-started them in the first place.
It seems as though the new world order hierarchy has now got all its ducks in a row as part of a massive propaganda and destabilization assault aimed at Libya in an effort to hijack the revolution and steer its outcome to suit their interests, just as has unfolded in Egypt where a gaggle of NGOâs and globalist forces have swooped in to feed off the vacuum of power left by Hosni Mubarakâs ousting.
Gaddafiâs very public threat to Israel was undoubtedly one of the primary factors that sealed his fate and made him a target of the contrived revolutions now sweeping the region.
In his speech today, Gaddafiâs son Sayf al-Islam vowed that his father and security forces would fight âuntil the last bulletâ to uphold their regime, blaming the revolt on outside forces and chastising the global media for exaggerating the brutality of the government response.
The establishment media is once again manufacturing the narrative behind the protests in Libya. Given the scant amount of credible information coming out of the country, talking heads have hastily made parallels to Egypt and Tunisia, a red flag in and of itself given that both these uprisings involved the manipulative hand of the US military-industrial complex.
Demonstrators seem to have a poor grasp of the powerful global interests that are driving the protests, and how they could end up in a worse situation than what they began with.
In the case of Egypt the elimination of U.S. puppet Hosni Mubarak has only resulted in a military dictatorship taking the reigns of power.
As far back as December 2008, the US Embassy was aware of plans to overthrow Mubarak in 2011 and had begun secretly funding rebel leaders to spearhead the campaign.
âI believe we are seeing the destabilization of all the regimes in the area beginning with Tunisia moving to Egypt, but unfortunately I think the intended result of this is to see it take place in your country of Iran. I think that is the end result that they [Western countries] want to see take place is regime change in countries that are unfavorable to Israel and the US,â geopolitical analyst Mark Glenn tells Press TV.
Glenn points out that the same conditions that made Egypt and Tunisia ripe for revolutions are absent in Libya, GDP growth is good and the economy is doing well.
Whatâs happening in Libya represents, âAnother color revolution thatâs been backed and pushed by [George] Soros and other economic interests tied to political interests in the west,â remarks Glenn, adding that all the revolutions have been uncharacteristically leaderless, allowing western forces to pick up the pieces by offering financial âassistanceâ to whatever form of government takes over, hijacking the aftermath and reshaping the international order in their own image.
âNo matter who comes to power they are already over a barrel; theyâre being held by the throat by these western financial interests who are going to dictate terms to these new governments,â warns Glenn, adding that whether or not the revolutions were genuine to begin with, they will always be thwarted by succumbing to this process.

How does the race system work in Brazil?
tyrese
I am asking this because I am intrigued. I know Obama was referred to as black by many Brazilian news outlets, but I am also mixed black and jewish and one Brazilian exchange student said I was "mulatto" or "moreno". I am confused and intrigued. What do each of these terms mean? and what are examples of each one? I am just curious because I know different countries have different meanings when it comes to race.
White
Black
Pardo
Cafe au lait
Mestizo
Moreno
Mulatto
Answer
Hello,
First, I have to say: there is no racial system in Brazil. All Brazilians are equal under the law. In Brazil, racism is crime non-bailable provided by law. Anyway, people here usually don't think about racial questions. Being a multiracial country is very natural for us, as a cultural matter and Brazilians are very peaceful.
1- According to the official statistics of IBGE (Geographical Institute of the Government) Brazilians are today:
White - 47,3%
Pardos - 43,1%
Black - 7,6%
Yellow/Asians - 2,1% (most of them are descendant of Japanese)
Amerindian - 0,3%
2- Historically:
White = European and Middle Eastern
Black = Africans (center and south)
Red = Amerindians (native Americans)
Yellow = Eastern Asians
Cafuso = amerindian + black
Mulatos = white + black
Caboclo ou Mameluco = white + amerindian
Actress Dira Paes (amerindian + white):

3- In popular language:
White = light skinned. Example: portuguese, spanish, italian, german, polish, russian, lebanese, arab, jewish etc. Example: Gisele Bündchen (top model).
http://alturasepesos.com.br/giseles.jpg
Obs: Most of white Brazilians have tanned skin because of the sunny weather (very hot). Majority of people here live in the coast. You can not confund "tanned skin" with "pardo".
Black = african features (dark skin, curly hair, african nose...)
Example: Seu Jorge (singer and actor)
http://www.r2cpress.com.br/v1/wp-content/uploads/Seu-Jorge-1.jpg
Pardo = Mestizo = Multiracial = any racial mixture.
Example: Ronaldo (soccer player) is pardo (mixed).
http://mendesites.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/ronaldo1.jpg
Café au lait (french) = coffee with milk = brown skin. However, in Brazil people call it "marrom bombom" (it means "brown bonbon"). Example: Alcione (samba singer)

Mulatto (male) or mulatta (fem) = ligh black or brown skin
http://oglobo.globo.com/blogs/arquivos_upload/2009/02/112_2146-monalisa1.jpg
Moreno (male) or morena (fem) - two meanings: 1- correct: brunette (white skin, black hair); 2- popular: a light black or light brown person.
Nikkey = Nipo-Brazilian (Japanese + Brazilian):
