Here’s what the media and politicians don’t want you to know about the Manchester, UK, suicide attack: Salman Abedi, the 22 year old who killed nearly two dozen concert-goers in Manchester, UK, was the product of the US and UK overthrow of Gaddafi in Libya and “regime change” policy in Syria. He was a radicalized Libyan whose family fled Gaddafi’s secular Libya, and later he trained to be an armed “rebel” in Syria, fighting for the US and UK “regime change” policy toward the secular Assad government.
The suicide attacker was the direct product of US and UK interventions in the greater Middle East.

According to the London Telegraph, Abedi, a son of Libyan immigrants living in a radicalized Muslim neighborhood in Manchester had returned to Libya several times after the overthrow of Muamar Gaddafi, most recently just weeks ago. After the US/UK and allied “liberation” of Libya, all manner of previously outlawed and fiercely suppressed radical jihadist groups suddenly found they had free rein to operate in Libya. This is the Libya that Abedi returned to and where he likely prepared for his suicide attack on pop concert attendees. Before the US-led attack on Libya in 2011, there was no al-Qaeda, ISIS, or any other related terrorist organization operating (at least with impunity) on Libyan soil.
Gaddafi himself warned Europe in January 2011 that if they overthrew his government the result would be radical Islamist attacks on Europe, but European governments paid no heed to the warnings. Post-Gaddafi Libya became an incubator of Islamist terrorists and terrorism, including prime recruiting ground for extremists to fight jihad in Syria against the also-secular Bashar Assad.
In Salman Abedi we have the convergence of both these disastrous US/UK and allied interventions, however: it turns out that not only did Abedi make trips to Libya to radicalize and train for terror, but he also travelled to Syria to become one of the “Syria rebels” fighting on the same side as the US and UK to overthrow the Assad government. Was he perhaps even trained in a CIA program? We don’t know, but it certainly is possible.
While the mainstream media and opportunistic politicians will argue that the only solution is more western intervention in the Middle East, the plain truth is that at least partial responsibility for this attack lies at the feet of those who pushed and pursued western intervention in Libya and Syria.
There would have been no jihadist training camps in Libya had Gaddafi not been overthrown by the US/UK and allies. There would have been no explosion of ISIS or al-Qaeda in Syria had it not been for the US/UK and allied policy of “regime change” in that country.
When thinking about Abedi’s guilt for this heinous act of murder, do not forget those interventionists who lit the fuse that started this conflagration. The guilt rests squarely on their shoulders as well.
Many thanks to ((Obama and Hillary))
Lets keep our eyes on the true enemy. Clinton and Obama were doing what they were told. So did W. So will Trump.
I doubt it, he hasn’t so far.
If he did there wouldn’t be all the hysterical attempts to get rid of him.
But what about you, do you support of oppose those attempts?
Are you kidding??? He’s drained the swamp? Not hired Goldman stooges? Not bombed Syria? Not meddled in foreign gov’ts? Repealed and replaced obummer care? Give me a break
“do you support of oppose those attempts?” Who gives a shit about what anyone ‘supports’. THEY do what they want. Get real.
What bullshit. I’m not a ‘flag waver’ but these creatures are produced by an 11th century ‘religion’ based on hate and suppression. These losers don’t just bomb European / US locations, they bomb much more in India / Pakistan / Philippines.
right, because there’s nothing to cause this blowback
plus his father used to be an MI 6 asset
sounds familiar?
https://www.rt.com/uk/389694-libya-abedi-lifg-cameron/
So the sins of the father are visited on him? (Sin being your apparent meaning, not mine)
A blood taint?
More likely he learned to hate and despise the “West” partly as a result of his father’s experience.
Does McAdams even realize, his conclusion does not follow from his premise?
1. “He was a radicalized Libyan whose family fled Gaddafi’s secular Libya, and later he trained to be an armed “rebel” in Syria, fighting for the US and UK “regime change” policy toward the secular Assad government.”
OK, so he and his family fled a secular dictatorship. One which the US and Britain overthrew. That should be a good thing in his view. In addition, the US is fighting to overthrow another secular dictatorship, Syria. That would seem to be a good thing, too.
“The suicide attacker was the direct product of US and UK interventions in the greater Middle East.”
So, the US and Britain intervened in ways Abedi should have approved, but now McAdams claims that was the impetus for Abedi’s attack. Please, McAdams, review your logic.
@Rick Caird
You left this out Ricky:
“There would have been no jihadist training camps in Libya had Gaddafi not been overthrown by the US/UK and allies. There would have been no explosion of ISIS or al-Qaeda in Syria had it not been for the US/UK and allied policy of “regime change” in that country.”
“When thinking about Abedi’s guilt for this heinous act of murder, do not forget those interventionists who lit the fuse that started this conflagration. The guilt rests squarely on their shoulders as well.”
Rick Caird is an “American” idiot.
And the idiocy is getting worse!
bilge, Libya is now a hell hole, think Abedi liked that
So he witnesses children being blown up by the globalists. Then he goes to Libya to fight for the globalists to oust Ghadafi. Then he comes back to Britain and blows up kids to further empower the globalists. He was everything that he despised.
To paraphrase Hilary ,we came ,we saw and a bunch of kids in Manchester got blow up by one of our rebels.
I wonder what kind of drugs the boys at MI6 and CIA have, that can turn a human into a bomb.
right?, you have to be dedicated, and trained, and have skills to carry out a mission that will end with your death. rational minds will not allow this to happen.
so, they are either completely brainwashed, and under the influence of some serious psychotropics or, they are really stupid and think they are doing gods work.

What, no half-wits claiming that it never happened, that it was just a bunch of “actors” and that the government is somehow using it to control people?
Just because the government may have staged it, orchestrated it, and will exploit it to further their own interests and power growth, doesn’t mean they didn’t also happily murder people in the process. The crisis actors often simply play the role of enhancing the terror and perpetuating the “story,” even while real dead and injured suffer elsewhere.
