Muammar Gaddafi: The Mad Dog of the Middle East
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 лис 2024
Just to clarify something, the title of the episode "Mad Dog of the Middle East" is a reference to a quote from Ronald Reagan. Apparently "Mad Dog of North Africa" just didn't have the same ring to it.
The problem is that you didn't mention that Helleяy & obamao are responsible for the shape that Libya is in. Not to mention the deaths of Tyrone Woods, Glenn Daughtry, Sean Smith and Chris Stevens. Sugarcoat much?!
Thanks. I wonder if Reagan gave Gaddafi the nickname before or after he killed his 15 month old daughter in the air strike he ordered
Madice.
Madice. Madice. Madice.
It does sound better and more MadDoggish. :)
Referencing the butcher of Latin America? The irony is strong.
Libya was the richest country in Africa for gdp per capita now its well you know
and kept the world central bank out of the country too
Gdp is calculated by the production of the country divided by the population.
It doesn't mean we had that money as people... The government had and you see where they spent most of it.
Supporting other countries and ignoring their poor population.
@@b.b.6591 The people of Lybia had more under the dictatorship compared to today
I thought south africa is the richest country in Africa
@@gytx5339 until they are facing bankruptcy.
You didn't really cover about how Gaddafi was planning on backing Libya's currency with gold.
Wasn't that one of the biggest reasons he was killed?
Because that´s a myth made up by his fanboys. He never did that. Try to be less gullible, kid.
@@skepticaldemocrat Excellent debating skills.
@Pedro Rabaçal 🤔
@Pedro Rabaçal 😲pls I'm not part... I am only observing
I lived in Kenya, this man was respected because what he did for his people due to oil subsidies being trickled to its people, not to the top 1%.
When the former US president is threatened by Libya’s potential to seize the oil market with the introduction of the Dinar(I’ll let you look this up), we know why he’d be labeled as a ‘dictator.’
He was a Threat to the 1% its the only reason he was killed
@Kentucky Mama mehhhh China is pretty much capitalist. The world isn't 1980 anymore, I know fox news will keep spoon feeding you that but it's not
Buddah Theepoet everything was made up about this man
hey libyan here
we saw no profits from our oil
he and his family kept all ourwealth and though libya was better of with him it dosent change the fact that he was a monster
I used to know a girl from Libya, she told me she preferred life under Gaddafi’s rule. “Life was nice and women had rights under his rule”, It was only after he was killed that she and her family fled to the Uk.
must have not been one of the literally countless girls/ school girls/ young boys that he raped..
women didn't have rights at all, no one did
@@AR15andGODsays you
GADHAFI GOT WHAT HE ALWAYS DESERVED, ONLY FAR TOO LATE!!
@@Prince-lo3nzno. Says all the women he assaulted
Damn, this guy ruled Libya at 27 and I'm here almost 30 still living at home.
Don't feel bad, he was a psychopath.
@@Johndoe-yl7er he was a tyrant. The only Muslims that love him are the ones who never lived in Libya in his reign.
@@malikrahman8649 Yeah? But look at Libya now?
Get out your parents house I'm 23 and I've lived alone for years
@@malikrahman8649 in his reign, so why did they overthrow and kill him
He was the Mad Dog but he also held back the floodgates, that burst open, after he was overthrown and eventually killed.
no one NATO forces absolutely looted the country
Outside forces couldn't care less for libya until they started bombing airplanes at the end of the day this is still all gaddafis fault
@@peenoice5176 yeah pretty much
He was the Mad Dog necessary to bite off the head of the snake that was terrorism and extremism.
the mad dog are your degenerate liberal leaders
I asked a Libyan friend of mine how life was under Gaddafi, he said "Well, you know,... I can't complain.'.
As a Libyan yh, bad or not is still take him over the people now
That could be interpreted in another way
The problem with US is not that they topple dictators but what they do after it.
No, the problem IS that they topple dictators (aka governments of other sovereign countries).
@@KatGlos so is kim jong un the gov of korea?
@@RS28_Sarmat What? I don't get it.
@Osman Oglu There is a problem with killing dictators if foreign powers do it. The people of a country should be the ones to decide. America has no right to play world police.
Saurabh Raut no the biggest problem is the US places dictators in office
Did anyone else hear him pronounce Nasser's name as NASA and suddenly get really confused for like two seconds? XD
No
Yep haha, all I was thinking was "Why would NASA be involved in any of this??"
Rhotic R's are superior to non-rhotic R's for this precise reason.
Yes

Adam Atkins Thank you! I was trying to think who he reminded me of!!
Haha I love this
Classic
All the US did when they toppled Gaddafi was creating a power vacuum which terrorists filled,yes Gaddafi may have been brutal in his methods,but he brought,order,stability and prosperity to the region and made Libya the richest country in Africa.Libya is a broken state now in perpetual war and Uncle Sam is the one to blame!
Malacki 655 Because it’s so easy to blame America
@@rynemcgriffin1752 Hillary Clinton was deeply involved in it.
"We came, we saw, he died".
What they do in a lot of overthrow governments. Terrible guy no doubt but they kept the terrorists at bay. Same with Hussain.
Ryne Mcgriffin No it because it was actually America’s fault,they ordered the NATO air strikes on Libya and the CIA funded and armed the rebel groups.
@@malacki6554 boohoo
How much influence did the CIA have on these historical events ?
alot
Don't forget Hillary Clinton's involvement.
Simon should do a follow up on all these guys our CIA played do all, save all leaders
Ah yet another butthurt person who blames America. Why don't you try something original for once.
@@LordHeadBooty Its certainly true that the UK and Italy played enthusiastic roles in the operation, the truth is the main driving force behind it was the Hillary Clinton State Department. That's a fact.
I don't shed any tears for the guy but let's at least be honest. Al Qaeda runs large portions of the country, the US Ambassador was killed and there are open slave auctions now.
Who's to blame for this?
My country's leader is a dictator,but he is not called a dictator because he plays ball with Uncle Sam.
(the country is Singapore if you are wondering)
Same with the Saudi's, they did crimes worse than Gaddafi, they sponsored the Taliban and execute American Journalists, and impose Sharia Law which Gaddafi did not, yet America never condemns them.
galaxy_gameplay are you still alive?
I wish the people of singapore ultimate freedom from their dictators regime from serbia 👍👍
That's just disingenuous at best m8
Aggressive Tubesock trump is the furthest from a dictator. You must be either to young to understand or you are brainwashed by the great American propaganda machine. There is a reason why the democrats hate trump and its not because of any of those rhetorics they push.... The democrats are political thugs who do not want a self funded politician who serves no master, in power. The democrats are serving multiple
Masters (Donors and lobbyers) and only in politics for money. Its time you start to think for yourself son.... set yourself free and look for the truth.
Never thought I'd back a ruthless dictator, but Gaddafi's terror was really the only thing keeping Libya from being the cliche terrorism-ridden middle eastern country it is today
Who would've thunk it (and yes, I'm purposely using terrible grammar)? On a more serious note, he was a brutal man but it was a brutal place. Reminds me of Vlad The Impaler and his methods, most of which would be decreed as 'barbaric' today but he protected his land and his people from the Ottomans and, more importantly, themselves. I guess Gaddafi had the same thought and there was orderly chaos, so to speak; now, it's a real sh--hole, but guess which country doesn't care?
*North African
ruthless dictator? good joke. Gaddafi didnt run terror, he did the exact opposite,
I was nine or ten years old, when he was killed. My parents were watching the news and when the footage came up, my mother instantly covered my eyes, knowing where this was going. I vaguely remember him talking to the mob and then screaming as they killed him. I remember as a child, thinking, “That man must have been very cruel, for what I was hearing to occur.” It was my first real moment of realizing the turmoil across the world, I had only heard of from my conservative ranting from family members and from reading in sneaking glances my parent’s newspaper.
I hope wherever you are now, you and your family both are doing a lot better
Still gaddafi was better than today's Libyan government
Just like saddam
Overthrow terrorists hop in
Fight starts
Dear diary
@@Indian_Tovarisch he was still cruel though(& saddam did kill others)
@@Indian_Tovarisch i hear that he didn t wanna give oil to america that s the reason off attack
I don't condone some of the alleged crimes he might of committed, but from the early 2000s to his death he brought great promise to the country even driving around without guards waving to his people who deeply loved and respected him. He did everything he could to keep the world central bank, i mean cartel, from entering his country because he knew what those countries do to nations with them installed. If people want to call him names and say he's evil, don't forget the usa has committed more problems in this world than the nazis who they also helped in WW2.
the US helping nazis? something smells wrong here
@@lecooldude clearly you haven't attended school or did any proper research.
Conrade Bush or the George W. Bush grandfather helped the nazis just like IBM and many other companies in the usa. Additionally, the Swiss bank and other businesses profited heavily from the war.
Why do you think Lockheed martin, an usa based military company, supply any and all companies? they even LOBBY for defense contractors despite there being no need for them
Research the Great Man Made River Project, the Central Bank of Africa, African Union/Org of African Unity, African Satellite System & Telecom System, African Peacekeeping Force, African Common Currency/Dinar, Libyan support for ANC that helped free Mandela and South Africa and neighbouring countries led by racist regimes (Libya provided a huge chunk of financial support for the anti apartheid struggle), oil for gold.
Libyans had the highest standard of living in Africa.
Much propaganda in this video. Libya was not involved in the Lockerbie incident, sacrificed one of their citizens to placate the west and ease sanctions. His presence was a barrier to the spread of ISIS/ISIL/Al Qaeda and their offshoots. He was a major player in plans for uniting Africa, getting African control of the continent's natural resources, financial systems, infrastructure, utilities etc. He was part of an effort to sell oil only for gold not US dollars ( another "mad dictator" aka Saddam Hussein had a similar plan and met the same fate). These are readons why he was killed. The "rebels" were not even Libyans, mostly paid mercenaries and PMC's from other countries, financed mostly by Saudi Arabia, UK and US.
Almost every US pres has more blood on his hands than MG or Saddam, like "Raygun", "Bash" ,"Obomber".
We're talking about in the realm of war not banks
@@somethingsomething9008 nah we're talking banks. my banks states that clearly
Do a video on Josip Broz Tito of Yugoslavia, he had a very interesting life as a communist, friend of the west, anti-Stalinist, Partisan fighter and uniting figure of Balkans.
His economic policies ruined the country and he died just before his nation had to "face the music" so to speak. That nation was also created of people who 40 years before his death were putting each others families in concentration camps or ditches. Certainly far less brutal then other strongmen of his day, but still a strongman.
Not to mention him being Austro-Hungarian veteran of WW1.
@@TheSunderingSea Lol Yugoslavia was not Tito's idea, it was created by King Alexander.
Besides, all people who lived under socialism say it was far better than today.
We are all surrounded by buildings rotting on sun while today's politicians dream about painting the same houses Tito built.
@wannabchomsky there was actually a another benevolent dictator in the African country of Burkina Faso named Thomas Sankara.
Tito sent the secret police to kill my cosoan because he was apart of a protest for Croatian infipendince he would kill his own partisans he was like Kim jong un
“Even if there comes a time when you do not hear my voice, do not give up. Do not despair. Do not stop fighting for your freedom until you have victory!”
-Muammar Gaddafi
Freedom? Is that why he killed all who spoke out against him?
So u love brutal dictators who kill their own? So dumb!
-by a dictator who killed anyone who spoke against him
@@LazierByTheDay I know a libyan guy working as a chef at my local restaurant. He told me Libya was comfortable under gaddafi's rule and after his death he had to fled the country because the nato forces just ruined everything gaddafi had build. Yes, the country was in shambles after gaddafi died.
The westerner's call him the "Mad Dog of the middle East" but to Africans around the continent he was a visionary. Before I say anything more I need to clarify that I am A South African, Christian and 'Coloured'. So, after visiting Libya in my youth before the mayhem and now recently in all the Chaos I still believe the good he did and planned for in the future still outweighs the bad he is accused of. It's just that He's plan for the future was Anti-west and would have flipped the balance of power to Africa and the Middle- East but we all know that He who has the biggest Gun wins and the winner gets to reveal the dirty laundry of their victim without revealing the good.
Just to clarify, calling Gadaffi a Mad Dog with a one sided world view means every USA president should get a name like "The Rapist of the West" or the "The Assassin Bully of the world". This is my opinion guys, you may have your own just as Simon has he's but If you took the time to read about what Gaddafi had planned with Gold and Oil and took the time to speak to Libyan Historians about he's reign and what he did for He's country I think you would see another side to this guy other than Dictator.
Do you know of any Libyans or Africans on youtube that talk about him? Most of what I'm getting is videos like this one. I'd like to see some opinions from people who lived under him. The point you made was very interesting.
@@FrogmanLeaps there are hardly any UA-cam channels like the one you asking about, and most people from the time of Libyan prosperity are no longer available. I will do my best to find the documentary that was released just after his capture and execution of what he did and planned to do in Africa. In this doc there were independent journalists interviewing locals during the civil war and what really caught my attention was one statement made by Libyans taking up arms, they said "this is not a civil war, this is an invasion by extremists backed by foreign powers. We not fighting each other but we defending our way of life." even though I'm saying this, I don't want you take what I say as fact, but if I find and share the doc you can draw up your own conclusions from there :).
@@lylezarry if you find the doc I'd love to watch it
Indeed he was a revolutionary attempting to unite Africa from the grasp of leeching Europeans. May him & the great Videl Castro rest in peace, in due time brethren

Gadaffi looked as if he went to the same plastic surgeon as Mickey Rourke.
ahahhahahahhahahaha. That is an awesome AND TRUE comment. Looking at his picture, I kept feeling like he had some very creepy familiar look, and as I scrolled through the comments and saw yours, It suddenly hit me!! That is EXACTLY it!! I bet that Mickey Rourke went to a surgeon with a picture of Gaddafis face and told them to make him look powerful, just like him!!! Lololol
My grandfather met Gaddafi. Sure, you don't really know someone. But every account my grandfather got of Gaddafi was that he dreamed of a free, prosperous, just, and non-militaristic Libya.
Why, if he did even half of the things the CIA probably staged, did he have to go in 2011? Was it maybe because he wanted an African resource-backed banking system and communication independence (the millions Obama said Gaddafi was using for weapons... seems to have been for a satellite network).
At least 6 to 9 of every 10 freed "dissidents" he imprisoned became ISIS. Now you have ISIS and slavery.
I read parts of Gaddafi's book. He was a woman's rights activist. He urges respect and understanding for women during their periods. He praises women as socially and spiritually equal to but biologically different from men.
Near the end, he advocated for a two-state solution to Israel and Palestine.
I know better
This chanel is by no way reliable, pro west/zioniste propaganda. Little research show that the real reason for gadaffi murder was his plan to unify africa under one gold backed currency, cant have an african country be the leader of the world... and lets be honest if money start to really be worth something all western currency become worth less than the paper they are printed on.
Truth is with the financial system we have the west need africa to stay poor or the west will sink in much more poverty that what you see in Africa
Yes, writing lies is not a thing. Everyone knows that. Words speak louder than actions my dad always said. Trust a man at his word even when his actions do the opposite...
What a great guy Gadaffi was on rights, despite all the actions that prove the opposite
@@alexs1640 how much of those action did you see? My educated guess is none, sure you know what the cia have published in news paper sure you watched cnn and saw those report delivered by the cia and co. You know nothing when you truth is fed by the cia/mossad and co
@@chrismasse3818 you do know he publicly aired mass executions... by your logic, neither I or you saw what Hitler did either, so guess he was a good guy too. Many people who did see his actions have said as much on what he did. You're nobody on UA-cam, I'll believe reliable sources over a nobody every single day.
Lots of brainwashed gaddafi supporters
I have to say that I love the channel. However this video is the first one I think missed so many facts that are material. I'm not a fan on mad dog at all but there is a lot more to the " Arab spring"
Ikr! I hate that term because it wS pure MSM propaganda to support the US "spreading democracy."
Wait Simon. If Gaddafi was a wicked tyrant (which he was), what were the Italian colonizers who killed 1/3 of the population? I noticed you have no colorful adjectives for them. Why?

This is what happens when you start your own bank.

Tbh Iv met many Africans who love him and they told me about how much they improved their homes and how he wanted to make Africa a united continent. From these conversations Iv had with Africans who were there during his rule and my knowledge of how the west demonizes people who oppose them. I believe he wasn’t this bad guy they paint him out to be. The continent was on the up and up when he was in power. It’s been on a down turn ever since
He used to say nonsense about 'uniting Africa' then finance terrorists in the Sahel. Any African who was born and aware before 2011 like me saw right through his lies.
You're like the Binging with Babish of biographies.
Years ago I saw a picture, still have it somewhere, of a city in Libya. On the image you saw the before & after of a large/main road, hotels, houses etc. After he got overthrown, everything was demolished. + That speech he gave years ago, when he said they needed to stand together, otherwise America would pick them off one by one. (Al-Assad smiling on the backround) as it turned out to be, he wasn't wrong.
I remember when Gaddafi and Libya would appear in the news. You have strung it all together and now it makes more sense. Many thanks.

@@montymont4192all of the presidents do the same wrong; Govern this terrible country
Simon, you should really do a video on Sheikh Hasina. Her entire family including her father, who was the first president of Bangladesh, was killed in a military coup. She survived because she was in West Germany at that time. For six years she lived in exile, while her family's killers were cheered as heroes in Bangladesh. She finally came back. Became prime minister, hanged many of those involved in the killings. She even survived grenade assassination attempt while she was the opposition leader in the parliament. Many believe it was staged by the government. Sheikh Hasina's story is that of a true Iron Lady.
Bruh, that sounds really badass haha
Oh yea that woman....
Agree
Everytime Muammar's life is portrayed in western media. he was this evil dictator... Everytime I heard his stories from Libyans, africans or asians.. He was always held in high regard and well respected.
Money can change almost anyone's opinions on another person and he had trillions of dollars to throw around in order to gain that respect. Gaddafi may have started out with good intentions but as is often quoted, the path to Hell is paved with good intentions. Clearly he was unstable from early on and many who knew him in his younger years said he was mentally sick. He backed genocidal wars, did horrible things to his own people, funded terrorists and murderers for hire, and engaged in all manner of sexual depravities that are best not thought of. My heart has always gone out to the people of Libya as they have moved from one Hell to another Hell since the beginning of time.
Maybe all the countries that did not have a Gaddafi are pretty much the same nightmare today.
Plus, since he is gone Lybia is far worse off then before.
Boko Haram became stronger after he fell because they got weapons from Libya
whoa. 24 minutes is not enough time to cover this subject
Every US president “Mad dogs of the West”
You know you’re getting older when your childhood boogeymen were the Soviet Union, Ayatollah, and Gaddafi.
Such simple times.
I still live with ayatollahs 😓💀
Hafez Al Assad ?
Fun Fact: He spent also 4 years in Greek Millitary Academy from 1961 to 1965
GADDAFI’S LAST FORMAL SPEECH
“ In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful…
For 40 years, or was it longer, I can’t remember, I did all I could to give
people houses, hospitals, schools, and when they were hungry, I gave
them food. I even made Benghazi into farmland from the desert.
I stood up to attacks from that cowboy Ronald Reagan, when he killed
my adopted orphaned daughter, he was trying to kill me, instead he
killed that poor innocent child. Then I helped my brothers and sisters
from Africa with money for the African Union.
I DID ALL I COULD TO HELP PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT
OF REAL DEMOCRACY, WHERE PEOPLE'S COMMITTEES RAN OUR
COUNTRY. But that was never enough, as some told me, even people
who had 10 room homes, new suits and furniture, were never satisfied,
as selfish as they were, they wanted more.
THEY TOLD AMERICANS AND OTHER VISITORS THAT THEY
NEEDED ‘DEMOCRACY’ AND ‘FREEDOM’, NEVER REALIZING IT
WAS A CUT THROAT SYSTEM, WHERE BIGGEST DOG EATS THE
REST. But they were enchanted with those words, never realizing that in
America there was no free medicine, no free hospitals, no free housing,
no free free education, and no free food, except for when people had to
beg or go to long lines to get soup.
No, no matter what I did, it was never enough for some, but for others,
they knew I was the son of Gamal Abdel Nasser, the only true Arab and
Muslim leader we’ve had since Salah-al-Deen, when he claimed the Suez
Canal for his people, as I claimed Libya, for my people, it was his footsteps
I tried to follow - to keep my people free from colonial domination - from
thieves who would steal from us.
Now, I am under attack by the biggest force in military history, my little
African son, Obama wants to kill me, to take away the freedom of our
country, to take away our free housing, our free medicine, our free
education, our free food, and replace it with American style thievery,
called "capitalism".
But all of us in the Third World know what that means, it means corporations
run the countries, run the world, and the people suffer. So, there is no
alternative for me, I must make my stand, and if Allah wishes, I shall die by
following His path, the path that has made our country rich with farmland,
with food and health, and even allowed us to help our African and Arab
brothers and sisters.
I do not wish to die, but if it comes to that, to save this land, my people, all
the thousands who are all my children, then so be it. Let this testament be
my voice to the world, that I stood up to crusader attacks of NATO, stood up
to cruelty, stoop up to betrayal, stood up to the West and its colonialist
ambitions, and that I stood with my African brothers, my true Arab and
Muslim brothers, as a beacon of light.
When others were building castles, I lived in a modest house, and in a tent.
I never forgot my youth in Sirte, I did not spend our national treasury foolishly,
and like Salah-al-Deen, our great Muslim leader, who rescued Jerusalem
for Islam, I took little for myself…
In the West, some have called me "mad", "crazy", but they know the truth,
yet continue to lie. They know that our land is independent and free, not in
the colonial grip, that my vision, my path is, and has been clear and for my
people and that I will fight to my last breath to keep us free, may Allah
almighty help us to remain faithful and free".
My brothers and sisters let's start loving more of each other and stop killing
each other cause Europe America and other western world will never
want to see sunshine for Africans..
None of those things exist for free anywhere, for the record.
The so-called 'Mad Dog' was a hero, hardly a dictator. He supported anti-Capitalist, anti-Imperialist, and National Liberation movements until the end of his life, his murder at the hands of NATO-owned terrorists.
Never forget that when most of the anti-Capitalist world abandoned the Irish Struggle for Liberation, he never did.

@@joshuamunro9194 very very true
Absolute monster, yet many here in the comments seem to be defending him?
"He did this bad thing, sure, but also I benefitted from his decisions so I don't really care"
You ignore that he
- Made Libya entirely independent rather than a western puppet kingdom like Saudi Arabia is
- Made Libya the only 1st world country in Africa, it had an HDI higher than European countries like Russia and Bulgaria
- Fought against terrorists in his own country and in Chad, Mali, Niger, etc
- Made literacy rate almost 100%
- Made the Great Man Made River with his personal funds to make the people of the sahara not die of thirst
- Turned a Bedouin impoverished country into a country that was rich enough to get migrants from the rest of Africa
Now what is Libya without Gaddafi?
- Literally a slave trade is going on
- In a stalemate civil war
- Constant terror attacks
- Terror insurgents have gained more power in Mali and Chad
- Libya is no longer a rich country
- Refugees are now dying in the Mediterranean and terror in Europe has increased
Thank you Gaddafi for all you did for Libya, Africa, the middle east and Europe.
THANK YOU....FOR THE THRUTH..!!!!😁😂😂🤣

Fun Fact: The Ice Hockey Team of my hometown of Iserlohn in Germany, actually ran an advertisement for the green book on their jerseys. But the outcry after one game was so big, that it even became national news. And even the New York Times reported about it.
Was it the Roosters?
He made Libya the most prosperous country on the African continent
Yeah so did hitler but that does not mean you Can just over look the blood
You should've covered the fact that Muammar Gaddafi wanted to get away from the Petrol dollar, and he wanted to base Libya's currency off of gold. That was one of the reasons why he was killed...
What kind of explanation do you expect from a non-African? 🤷🏾♀️
@@ddfelder2 Ikr...
Pol Pot, Idi Amin, Gaddafi.....nice to see your biography is getting into the spirit of Halloween Simon.
Comparing Pol Pot to Gadaffi...... 🙃
So easy to uncomplicate his revolutionary role in Africa. Indeed he was brutal, but contextualize within geopolitical Cold War paradigms.
@Charlie K Why haven't you included Mobutu Seseseko, or Pinochet in that list?
It's like that sesame Street game with the names listed "Amin, Pol Pot, Kaddafi" one of these things is not like the others....
@@haroldrichardson5919 Gaddafi was one of Amin's friends so it tracks

Funny thing is Libya isn't even apart of the Middle East, its northern Africa.
I was an Army photographer at the time of the pan-am bombing and the the weeks and weeks we spent on the ground there documenting everything ,the name of Libya was never mentioned. it was Syria and Assad Snr's name always mentioned by the vast array of FBI and other American and British intelligence types without fail.
As fort Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, he was freed at the hands of the Scottish Justice Secretary at the time, Kenny McAskill. The guy was terminally ill and Scottish law can allow for that. This twinned with his impending appeal at which Tony Gauci's evidence would have been severely called into question azs would the $5000,000 USD he got paid along with many other legal anomalies and he'd have probably got released after winning the appeal. That would have called into question the whole initial rigmarole.
Ghaddafi might have asked however his asking wasn't the reason al-Megrahi was released.
Dear Simon,
I like these biographic videos,they allow me to learn about historical figures in the same way I learn about a fictional character but this video was too one sided. Perhaps your search team couldn’t find other sources but you glassed over Gaddafi’s feats as:”yeah,he did this but that’s it”. New Africa does a better job at explaining Gaddafi. I still enjoy your content and hope your research team looks for more sources.
Sincerely,
MK
PS:I know this comment will go to obscurity but for those who found it,thanks for reading.
I like these videos, however I wish you would place links to your sources in the description so I could further research these people. It also would add credibility to the channel.
The quickest way for any regime to be overthrown is to attempt to use any other reserve currency than the U.S. Dollar.

“So, how was life under Gaddafi?”
“Well, I can’t complain!” 🤣
😂 I know
This right here is good content
2011, 7 years ago! Remember watching the news that evening with my mother, i didnt underdstood why he was killed . I saw him like a good leader..he still kinda was that
We need a video on Nelson Mandela please Mr Simon.Nice work
I hope he doesn't speak about Mandela positively. I am no Apartheid fanboy, not at all, but Mandela still sucked.
@shahla1123 the salt is too much
@@trailerpark7170 He sat in prison, got bailed out, and was selected to lead the ANC and somehow ended up immortalised as a hero. There are a lot of different people who fought the struggle and deserve more fame for liberating south africa.
I'm loving all the content on all the various channels (Biographics, Today I Found Out, and all the rest). Extremely educational. I want to respect your time and efforts on all the content. I do have a question. I'm trying to get your content to students who don't have internet connection due to various political/economic barriers in their home countries. Can I burn your content onto DVD's so they can actually watch the content. I'll respect whatever decision you provide. I have no financial incentive at all. Just trying to share good quality content to those with barriers. Thanks much.
He never got a response 😢
I think Libya teached us that sometimes, Dictators are the lesser evil. What comes after a revolution can be way worse.
You need a mad dog to run a mad country.
I remember seeing the video of his death and it made me sick. I never knew about the sword up the wahzoo, though 😵. Thank you for doing such a spectacular job in telling the story so thoroughly and unbiased.
Osei Franklin You don’t know me or what I do or do not know, and if you are going to be a jerk to someone, at least use proper grammar.
Okay.
Unbiased? What the he'll? This guy and his story is so biased that he's not telling any of the great things Gaddafi did for his people
Rip Gaddafi
Gaddafi made mistakes like every other country's president. But he did some good things, and what pissed me off is that he has not mentioned any
‘History is written by the victors’
Gaddafi was nothing but a hero

I checked after watching this video and could not find some of the things mentioned here.
How are people saying the video is really good or well explained? It was just released 2 mins ago? 🤣 and your comment 50 secs ago.
This video is so hillaryiously failing.
UA-cam has dozens of servers that release videos at different times depending on where you are located when you watch it.
ok after watching this vid, he kinda deserved what he got, but honestly, i just cant say they made the right choice, since when not under stress, he seemed to actually know when to play ball with other people.
Great video bro. Enjoy every single one of them!
never learned so much. cant stop watching.
He was an extremely handsome man, when he was younger. Notice how cruelty and hatred deformed his face. His face, literally, became disfigured & monster looking.
I hope you do one on Ceausescu some day!
Africa knows Gaddafi was no monster‼️
Did you even watch the video?
Why is this man on every history-based UA-cam channel
This is his own
Simon, thank you. Brilliant video.
Do one video about Mustafa Kemal Atatürk lad
stop asking that every video. I'm sure they have seen by now and if they haven't made it yet, they have their reasons
@@Chaika1974 I will keep asking , if you're too annoyed , then just don't read the comment

Love your video,s.u guys are above and beyond any historical UA-cam channel(and t.v for that matter)!!!.keep up the great work.
@Jason Johnson that'd be the best joke I heard this year.
@@josecipriano3048 No, just you the joke.
Great work overall. I think Gaddafi was able to hold an otherwise powder keg of a country together, much like Tito. However, Gaddafi stayed in power too long, and developed the violent narcissism that underpins totalitarian leaders that do not evolve. I would love to see a video about the Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadžić, fascinating story
FINALLY someone has said this, everytime I do on Twitter it's "your brainwashed by 🇺🇸 propaganda" or "u only say that as a USA 🇺🇸 citizen" like how tf does me being a citizen mean I somehow have a good or easy life exactly?
Point is: I acknowledge he did SOME GOOD for his nation of 🇱🇾, however the moment we ONLY see the glitter, we fail to the rot BEHIND IT
whether or not he was always this way will never be known, but MANY atrocious acts were done under his regime
Reminds me of the lines in Jose Rizal's book "El Filibusterismo":
"What is the use of independence, if the slaves of today will become the tyrants of tomorrow?"
I was living in Britain when Officer Fletcher was murdered. Office Fletcher was doing crowd control to make sure the demonstration did not get out of hand. The adjoining buildings were evacuated and replaced by a swat team. The British government ordered that the Libyan consulate be closed and all personnel ordered out of Britain. The consulate personnel were given a heroes welcome when they arrived in Libya. Through my contacts in the MOD I was told that the British government had been told that the murderer had bee executed. We should never forget Officer Yvonne Fetcher was murdered for doing her job.
The man caused so much pain and suffering too so many. He should have died back in 1986, I hope his victims found some solace he was finally made to pay in blood for all those he hurt.
Fun Fact: Imelda Marcos used to date Muammar Gadhaffi...

@ 3:20, for a moment I thought you said NASA.
I urge all to watch “supernormalization“, you will learn a lot more about Gadaffi and his real role on the international stage. It was not Libya, but Syria behind the Locherby bombing.
yeah, this documentary is very interesting, we cannot trust only one source of information, even if it's a good channel like this. I can only wonder if all these bizarre accusations were all true, the man wasn't a nice person for sure but some of these facts about his life seems very over the top for me, this sort of exaggerations is also very common in the way mainstream media portrays Kim Jong-un, part is true, part totally fabricated.
@Biggah Dat Dude Sorry itnis called Hypernormalisation or Hypernirmalization.
It's America that brought death to Libya... Whatever Gadaffis vision was for his people. Even I used to think of him as a very ruthless person but he was doing very well for his country .
Gaddafi made Libya great and he was one of the few leaders in modern history that actually challenged the central bankers, that is why he was killed.
“Central bankers”
Just say your anti-Semitic
@@nahtatroll Brother you are the one who made this about Jews. Gaddafi eliminated the central bank in his country, that’s not a point of debate. If you want to make this about jews then be my guest but that definitely points to you being the anti-semite here.
@@wyattbrown9622 I’m not even gonna try to reply fully because my replies keep getting deleted. All I’m gonna say is that your claims are conspiracy theories founded in anti-semitism. If you want to know what I mean, just look up “the independence of central bankers disproven”
@@nahtatroll that’s not a conspiracy theory. Central bankers exist, that’s an indisputable fact.
