Recollections
of My Life: Col. Mu’ummar Qaddafi, The Leader of the
Revolution.
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 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, 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, and they
told Americans and other visitors, 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’ a’ 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 to work here with us, in the Libyan Jammohouriyah, 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, stood up to
betrayal, stood up 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’a’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
but 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.

Mu’ummar Qaddafi, 4.5.11
