When Gaddafi Spoke the Unspeakable

When Gaddafi Spoke the Unspeakable

JFK, 9/11, and the Price of Defiance

Muammar Gaddafi stood at the podium of the United Nations back in 2009 and did something pretty much no other world leader would dare to do: he called out the West on their lies. For over 90 minutes, he tore into the carefully curated theater of global politics, ripping up the U.N. Charter in front of everyone, literally, and torching the deceptions the West had built its empire on.

The speech was rambling and long, but it contained some dangerous truths. Not because anything he said that day was absurd conspiracy theories, but because what he said went against the narratives that are protected by a wall of silence, and enforced by bombs and regime change.

Gaddafi paid for revealing the truth with his life.
