Lizzie Phelan, the previously mentioned, high respected among nutters, blogger independent journalists. Alot of antiwar nutters love to post her articles as evidence, along with stuff by Franklin Lamb.

I got the impression form the view times I've watched RT that it was a far-liberal reflection of FoxNews and perhaps just as bad, but that video clip you share was truly eye-opening as to how much a propaganda outlet that station is. Astonishing for what passes as news and journalism today.

Curious if the rebels have been trying to conduct a psyops campaign, inventing stories of Gaddafi family member arrests. Hopefully it's true they (and not the gov) took Libyan TV offline and that is why Saif is only appearing on international networks. Credibly of the NTC is a bit suspect as they try and explain the situation on AJE.

^ Most of the army surrendered to the NTC yesterday. The rebels have been fighting for six months now, while the pro gadaffi faction is just anyone stupid enough to pick up a gun for him.

This might just be someone that references Lizie Phelan a lot, but ...

TL;DR, the rebels advances aren't really happening, and if they were, Libya is the final battleground of humanity, because if Khadaffi falls, the next step is NATO invasion of Syria, Africa, the Middle East, and nuclear bombing to cull the world population down to a manageable number.

There's some quality reads in that person's library.
