Gaddafi Prize for International Human Rights, Peace and Freedom

 COMMENTARY

"As the sun shines for everyone, freedom is a right for everyone."  

        Slogan on Khaddafy Human Rights Prize website

As the non-existent NATO alliance bombs Libya (in the spirit of the Obama-imposed arms embargo so as not to take sides, promising not to topple Gaddafi, at the same time calling for his removal, disavowing regime change and claiming it’s necessary) Colonel ‘King of Kings’ Khaddafi readies his next cash award for his hand-picked champion of peace, freedom and human rights.

Yes, in a macabre act of bizarre self-indulgence the Colonel has awarded the $250,000 prize annually since 1989, actually believing the rest of the world lends credence to the farce.  It should astonish no one the Colonel always shovels the cash to avowed communists and terrorists and other forms of subhuman debris.

For 42 years Qadhafi has brown-nosed every regional dictator and two-bit thug terrorist he could nuzzle up to, simultaneously exploiting his own people, suppressing and torturing them murderously, absconding with billions in oil revenue, and financing various terrorist attacks around the world, all in the name of human rights, peace and freedom, of course.

Among those who’ve received the generous and praiseworthy Gadhafi prize for human rights?

  • Minister Louis Abdul-Haleem Farrakhan Muhammad, Sr. (Louis Eugene Walcott)
  • Daniel Ortega, the Marxist of Managua
  • Fidel Castro
  • Hugo Chavez, in line for a Nobel?
  • Juan Evo Morales Ayma (you guessed it, another socialist/communist loon, President of Bolivia)
  • Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, PM of Turkey, calling for the bombing of Israel

Now there’s a list of human rights champions anyone would be proud to publish on his tombstone.

Word is next year’s nominees for the Gaddafi International Prize for Human Rights will be:

  • Kim Jung Il, for spreading the peaceful use of nuclear technology worldwide
  • Omar Al-Bahir, Sudan (Member of the U.N. Human Rights Commission)
  • Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwe (Member of the U.N. Human Rights Commission)
  • Than Shwe, Myanmar (Member of the U.N. Human Rights Commission)
  • Jeremiah Wright, bosom buddy to Farrakhan and Qaddafi
  • Jimmy Carter, best friend Daniel Ortega ever had

Surprisingly, Mr. Obama will not be invited to the ceremony. He’ll be busy anyway. He is working to get Saudi Arabia appointed to the U.N. Human Rights Commission, replacing the United States. 

PS:  Obama's Libyan adventure: cost thus far, $1 billion
