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 the 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 education and no free food, except
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.
