Moammar Gadhafi - UN speech translation

I'm pretty sure that a guy who puts forward a motion the global arena to tear apart another country because his son was arrested for beating hotel staff doesn't deserve too much of your consideration about the difference between how kind he is at home compared to his bilking his nation for billions for his personal gain.

People get mad a Bill Clinton charging a pretty penny for speaking engagements, and yet are willing to give an insane pirate-esque dictator latitude.

Man.

Okay, watch the Fox clip from 0:25 to 0:30. The translator actually completes the sentence before Gadhafi does. "Who says Taliban an enemy." You can pick out the word enemy pretty easily.

Anyhow, i would really like to see the written transcript because there was some obvious flameable stuff he mentioned that CNN just chose to censor.

Not to digress, but when Israel and the United States openly talk about launching a military strike on another country, that's deemed perfectly acceptable, but as soon as Libya or Gaddafi start banging on about something then they're labelled as "mad" and their concerns are brushed aside as being irrelevent or simply nonsense.

You want to live in a World with a dominant Middle Eastern force as they exist right now?

Answer that question, and you'll see why it is that people don't consider it so mad.

reply to post by Aeons


I am not entirely sure what you mean.

The Middle East isn't dominant. It's more like the United States and Israel dominating the Middle East. At least that's how i see it.

You see it that way because you suffer from the same delusion all people have of seeing what you know more prominently. Same effect as when people draw a map, and the place they live is a billion times larger than entire other continents comparitively.

The USA and most of the World, has interests in the Middle East. The Middle Eastern powers are dominant in the Middle East. That's why they aren't listening to rap, and pop and smackin' gum at the mall.

That isn't going to stop. It hasn't for several thousands of years now.

Do you think that if you start "playing fair" with them tomorrow, suddenly they'll all be so appreciative they will fall into place and deal with you in a reasonable manner that is good for all?

I think a quick perusal of history should dispel that notion right away.

There are important trade routes that impact the entire Globe through that area.

The people who have the most influence in that area have absolutely no will to do things that are good for them and good for everyone else. When it could look to them more like, I can control everything and not have to work with others at all!

You may hate your own societies' ways - but when it comes right down to it and you have an option of choosing to support and prefer a system that allows people even nominal freedoms and options, to a system where you live in a desert and work like a dog until you drop dead a thirty five leaving behind your 11 year old pregnant wife-slave who toils at the behest of a guy who poops in a gold plated toilet (sadly, only a slight exageration).......

You decide, do you REALLY think you don't have the right to assert yourself to protect your interests on the global stage? Because, I don't find that a hard call myself.

No offense but i really don't understand what point you're trying to make.

Maybe i am just stupid

Libya is not exactly peaceful, look up the "Islamic Legion" that Gadaffi created and sent into Chad, Uganda, Darfur, and Lebanon to do his bidding for him. They were notorious for incompetence on a level that makes the French Army of 1940 look brilliant.
en.wikipedia.org...

That being said, the man has maintained and iron grip on power since 1969, how stupid and inept can he be?

Gaddafi blasts big powers in first ever U.N. speech

"The preamble (of the charter) says all nations are equal whether they are small or big," Gaddafi said through an interpreter. He received a smattering of applause.

"The Security Council did not provide us with security but with terror and sanctions," he told leaders gathered for the opening day of the 192-nation General Assembly .

www.reuters.com...

He tore up a copy of the UN charter in front of startled delegates, accused the security council of being an al-Qaida like terrorist body, called for George Bush and Tony Blair to be put on trial for the Iraq war, demanded $7.7tn in compensation for the ravages of colonialism on Africa, and wondered whether swine flu was a biological weapon created in a military laboratory. At one point, he even demanded to know who was behind the killing of JFK. All in all, a pretty ordinary 100 minutes in the life of the colonel.

This is great. I don't think we'll ever see the full text of the speech he tried to convey to the audience. When and if we do see it, there will be a lot of omissions I believe.

Being brutal is an excellent substitute for competence.

I couldn't get the exact transcript but someone in a diff website is translating is whole speech. I'll post it here.

(In the name of God.
Ladies and gentlemen, members of the General Assembly of the United Nations:
I greet you on behalf of the African Union, and I pray that this will be a historic convene in the life of the world.
On behalf of the General Assembly of the United Nations, chaired by Libya, on behalf of the African Union, on behalf of the Kingdom A traditional African, and for you all .. I congratulate our son the president, "Obama," because for the first time to attend our General Meeting as President of the United States, and commend him because he is the host country.....

Leader of the Revolution, President of the African Union:

We must not sell the world of vaccines that address diseases and epidemics such as bird flu pigs and perhaps in the future as long as the fish factories intelligence work, but must give it for free.
But if they were sold a high price, this means it is a trade where the virus are produced and published in the world to companies Alrosmalesp is obtained funds from the sale of medicines.
Declared that medicine and vaccines free of charge as the Bible says Green, and then it will not spread viruses even if they were true and is not engineered for the manufacture of vaccines, including corporate capital gain.

radical solutions would earthquake architecture of the United Nations dilapidated structure and build on its ruins a new internationalist structure, based on equality between the United large and small, and free from veto and permanent seats and the other temporary, and rehabilitation of the General Assembly, the Congress of the world.
His leader's speech, which drew the solutions put forward by the applause from the members of the General Assembly, that Libya, under the chairmanship of the General Assembly is right, will help the world is painful and miserable intimidated and threatened and feared, who wander about at this stage now, to move to world stage humane in which peace and tolerance.

I am a signatory to the Ottawa Convention, which prohibits making and transfer of mines and selling them to reconsider the cancellation and not to amend because the mine is not a means to attack, but a means of defense.
What is needed is the abolition of atomic bombs and cruise missiles to the border because they are the means of attack.

Do not disagree at all with his speech "Obama" before me, is entirely different speech from speech that any American president we ever had, the previous American presidents have been terrorizing the world and they stand on this podium, and that they will lead the world and threatened of differences.
Speech, which he said "Obama" is totally different, it calls for the disposal of nuclear disarmament seriously and this is something we applaud him, and says that America can not solve the problems of the world, but that the world must solve its problems.

Raise Obama's slogan of change, but I take it Obama is a flash in the dark period of four years or eight years, and then I am afraid to return to their old habits Halima, who can guarantee America after Obama? .

African happy and proud that a son of Africa ruled the United States of America, this historic event after it was black in one day does not enter the cafe and restaurant in which the whites or riding the bus in which the eggs.
Now the voice of the American people unprecedented enthusiasm for Obama young black Kenyan African to be president of the United States, and this is great we Ntfajr him and consider that it could be beginning to change.

Kashmir should be an independent state .. Is neither Indian nor Pakistani, but a buffer between India and Pakistan, and end this conflict.

Grassy knolls have gone to Qaddafi’s head

I'm listening to (suffering through) Muammar Qaddaffi's ramble to the United Nations General Assembly. He's complained about jet lag, and hinted that his fatigue also has something to do with the fact that no one in the in the tri-state area wants to allow him to pitch his tent encampment. (It's how he travels.) Then, he launched into the litany of Israeli "crimes" that should be investigated and counted among them Kennedy's assassination. Jack Ruby, he noted solemnly, offed Lee Harvey Oswald before the truth could be learned about JFK's plans to confront Israel over its nuclear reactor in Dimona. I'll try to track down a transcript. It's hard to transcribe the interpreter's translation -- it's all over the place (and one suspects the interpreter is not at fault.)

blogs.jta.org...

Now I didn't hear anything in the speech about the JFK thing. Or about the reactor in Israel. The guy who wrote this article is looking for a transcript.

I can attest that this was said, well at least this is what the translator said.

For whatever that's worth...

the Arabs have no enmity with the Jews, their cousins, and they live with them in peace.
It is you who hate the Jews and the Commissioner, the Holocaust and their Oqemtem Ohrqtamohm and the Holocaust, genocide gas ovens in Europe.
And the Arabs who have sheltered and protected Jews in the Roman days and expulsion from Andalusia and the days of Hitler's ovens and poison gas.
You Trdtamohm and asked them to go to fight the Arabs.
The Jews will need one day for the Arabs, but the Arabs will not Ihamohm protected them in the future as in the past.

This summit convened in a series of challenges that face us all, and that the world should unite and join hands to serious efforts to defeat these challenges, which are their common enemy:
"The challenges of change, and the financial crisis Owalinhiar capitalist economic crisis and food and water, desertification, terrorism, migration and the spread of diseases from human and synthetic non-synthetic, because some devices manufactured by viruses as a weapon of war, and lost control.
May be a bird "nose goat pigs", are among the viruses that have not been under control, a synthetic in the laboratory as a weapon of war.
As well as the terrible nuclear proliferation, as well as other terrorism, the proliferation of hypocrisy and fear and disbelief, and the degradation of morality and the rule of the article.
All of this is a common enemy of us all.

we deal with piracy wrong, and we deal with terrorism, wrong, and we deal with diseases error.

With regard to Darfur, I hope to become the global aid organizations talking about the development projects, industrial and pastoral and agricultural.
And now Darfur live in peace and not the war, and you who Kbertmoha to interfere .. You to be a foothold, and for oil, and Tdhon the people of Darfur.

two-state solution for the issue of Palestine, a solution is impractical and impossible, I should not talk to him again.
The solution is one democratic state for Jews and Muslims and Palestinians, Christians and others, such as Lebanon, now there is no two adjacent but are overlapped completely overlap, and can not partition it inevitably failed.

before the General Assembly vote on the relocation of the headquarters of the United Nations or not the central globe, where candidate Sirte, Vienna, or east of the capital of India in Delhi or Beijing, China.

to address the phenomenon of piracy, which may spread in all seas, the world must respect the economic Somali region-specific international maritime law, the "200" nautical miles.

We must open the door of the General Assembly to investigate massacres "Sabra and Shatila" and "Gaza 2008."

We must open the General Assembly opened an inquiry into the assassination of "Lumumba" and "Auditorium" and "Kennedy", and "Luther King", and Kamal Nasser, Kamal Adwan, Abu Yusuf in the process of "Verdun" in Lebanon, and "Maurice Bishop" in the invasion of Grenada, and "Khalil al-Wazir."

We must verify the General Assembly in the genocide of the major invasion of Iraq, and in the execution of prisoners of war in Iraq during the invasion, and in the crimes of Abu Ghraib, a shameful affront to humanity

General Assembly, led by "Triki" We must open the investigation in the Korean War and wars of Suez, Vietnam, Yugoslavia and the invasion of Panama and Grenada and the bombing of Somalia and the invasion of Iraq and the war in Afghanistan

as of now .. Of this letter and the presence of forty, "Ali Triki," the association, cross-examined in the General Assembly energy chief ElBaradei and the IAEA before, I searched on whether the stock of atomic states of the IAEA? Does watching this stock increase and reduction? .
If he said it under him, then we also have a bow.
If he can not close to the major powers at which the atomic bombs, is not subject to him and it does not have the Sultan, if we also do not come near us do not recognize them, and lock the door in her face.

contd..

We reject a multi-polar world, and we want a world where all nations are equally large and small

The Leader of the Revolution, President of the African Union: Africa is entitled to compensation of $ (777) trillion countries colonized

General Assembly is on the compensation for countries that were colonized even Aitakerr colonization, and repeated migration of these peoples to countries that were looted wealth

Africa United Nations reform Oobdonh, deserves a permanent seat on the Security Council benefit from the past, like China

The war against us since the establishment of the Security Council in violation of the Charter

The Security Council since it was created in 45 and so far, did not provide us security, but fear of sanctions, and is used against us now, so we are not obliged to obey the Security Council in its current lineup, but nobody can force us to stay, as of this discourse in SESSION (64 )

it must be permanent seats and veto power to those who have power, it is Gore and terrorism can not be that we live in anymore.

preamble says that the nations are equal, large and small.
Is permanent seats, we are equal in it? Ever, we are not equal.
The preamble says that the United Nations large and small, have equal rights.
Ok .. Is the right of veto where we are equal?!.
The preamble says, "Nations large and small, are equal in rights" .. Such a preamble, and this is that we have approved.
Then veto the Charter, the permanent seats against the Charter, and this we do not recognize and does not accept it.
Charter says in the preamble "We have committed not to use armed force in the common interest" .. This is the preamble, which we are happy we are, and we signed it, and joined the United Nations building it, which says that armed force is used only in the common interest of all nations.
But there have been 65 after the war by the United Nations and the Security Council after the Bkevith present and after this pledge, the lives of millions more than the World War.
Are these wars that took place and the aggression that took place and the power used in the 65 war, is for the common interest?! Never .. Are of interest to a particular country or two or three countries - and will come out of these wars to see whether it is for the interest of the joint or for the benefit of a particular State -.
This is in stark contrast with the preamble of the Charter, which we we like it and we joined this organization.
And if he does not walk according to the preamble, which we agreed upon, even our presence in the organization does not walk as of now.

We do not appease, not to say words diplomatically, and we are not afraid, and we are not greedy, we can not appease the fate of the world.
We are now talking about the fate of the world, the fate of the planet, the fate of the human race .. In this issue of vital importance to human courtesy and there is no hypocrisy in diplomacy, because complacency and hypocrisy and fear has led to the occurrence of 65 after the war by the United Nations.

reply to post by lucentenigma


Yeah, I saw another journalist mentioned it as well. I must not have understood at the time he was saying it.

contd..

The preamble says, "If the use of force must be a UN force, joint force" .. United Nations Military Staff Authority is using force, and not a state or two or three .. The entire United Nations decide to use force so as to protect world peace.
If an aggression by one State against another after 1945 after the establishment of this Organization, the United Nations are combined to deter this aggression.
I mean if attacked Libya to France - for example - should the United Nations to deter aggression against Libya because France has an independent state and member of the General Assembly of the United Nations, and sovereign.
We are committed to defend the sovereignty of nations collectively, but there are 65 war of aggression without deterring the United Nations, and has them - eight major wars raging in the millions of victims - the nations with permanent seat in the Security Council and owner of the veto.

States that we assure them, and we believe it is that will protect the security and protect the independence of peoples, which threatened the independence of peoples and used brute force.
We believe that it is deter aggression and protect the people and trust in the broadcast world, but we find these nations are using brute force, which has a permanent seat on the Security Council, and endowed with the given itself the right of veto.

This is the thing that we agreed upon, but the advent of power then it is not mentioned in the Charter.
Had they told us that the veto is what we joined the United Nations, we have acceded to and that we are equal in rights.
But that appears after that state then the right to object to all our decisions and then a permanent seat, it is given a permanent seat!? .
These four countries gave themselves the permanent seat.
And the only state that voted in the Assembly for its permanent seat, is China, China gave her our voices in order to have a permanent seat on the Security Council.
This state only its presence and existence of democratic, while the other four seats to its presence is not democratic but dictatorial imposed on us, do not recognize it does not apply to us.

and not in the present Charter shall authorize the United Nations to intervene in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any State.
Means that the system of government is an internal affair of a State, no one is entitled to interfere in it, your system is working, the dictatorial or democratic or socialist or capitalist or reactionary or progressive, this is the responsibility of society itself .. An internal matter.
Voted in Rome in one day for "Julius Caesar" to be a dictator as the Senate gave him a mandate to be a dictator, because they believe that a dictatorship at the time useful to Rome .. This is an internal, from Rome to say to what worked, "Julius Caesar, a dictator"?!

Awesome find December_Rain. I believe I recognize some of the stuff that was said. I would still like to see the MSM come out with the transcript though. Then compare it to what you've found.

Ghaddafi, is to be honest, quite mad,
I have spent the last 3 months in Libya and the place has been absolutely misgoverned for the past 40 years. Yes he loves a good conspiracy theory (as long as it serves his own aims) and you'd think he was the highest echelons of illuminati looking at the symbolism portrayed in the many images of him around libya. But my view is he's bought into this rubbish like a lot of people and is using it for his own aims.

He may appear to talk sense in some of these speeches but in Libya even talking about a political party will put you in jail and about 60% of the working population works for the government, many of whom are simply spies for want of a better word, the kind of people who enjoy sticking noses in other peoples business.

But I think hes getting a bit of "stage time" in return for giving up on the WMD's, keeping a form of rather authoritarian rule over north Africa and by location keeping would be terrorists out of Europe. (He's not a great fan of islamic fundamentalism)

I'm a bit surprised there isn't more support for Qaddaffi here on ATS. He's shown himself to be as ardent of a conspiracy theorist as anybody on ATS! Why aren't any of you applauding him calling out the U.S. government on the Kennedy assassination? Heck, he even thinks the H1N1 flu is an inside job!

He should be a hero to ATS!!!
