Disinformation is
not just the property of the WEST, but is an effective tool used throughout history by Governments to confuse, manipulate perceptions and control humanity. Surely the local Libyans are not immune from SPIN DOCTORS and internal political perception manipulations.

From Latinised Greek:
gubernatio means "
management, government"
mente means "
mind"
Government = Mind Controlhttp://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Talk:governmentFrom news accounts, there are
polarised groups in Libya who are Pro-Gaddafi and Anti-Gaddafi. Obviously these people have certain beliefs about the man and whether or not he is protecting the interests of Libya.
Similarly in Australia, during peace times there are polarised views on carbon tax. Many Australians buy the main media Government story of Carbon-tax and the Global warming without much understanding of the real constitutional changes and removal of human rights.
Do people seek more understanding, research other information available on the internet? eg. Climate Gate, Planetary Climate Change due to Solar Cycles, Lord Monkton science proof that the Earth is cooling, Organic Chemistry -carbon = life, Australian will lose rights under UN control etc.
The minor news coverage of the Sydney Anti-Carbon Tax rally and many others was a distortion of public opinion, painting us Anti-Carbon protestors as misguided anti-social fools. The Government and UN have unlimited resources and can manipulate the perceptions of the ignorant to achieve their own corporate-aligned agendas eg. Pro-Carbon protestors were hired, ABC TV is government funded and owned.

For this exercise, let’s forget the emotive language and
look at the story from a higher perspective, from another
angle 
(pun intended)

Muammar Gaddafi: "After this achievement, American threats against Libya will double... The United States will make excuses, but the real reason is to stop this achievement, to keep the people of Libya oppressed"
Gaddafi was often ridiculed in the West for persevering with such an ambitious project. Pejorative terms such “pipedream”, “pet project” and “mad dog” appeared in UK and US media.
So Gaddafi next conceived a plan to bring the water to the people. Feasibility studies were carried out by the Libyan government in the seventies and in 1983 the Great Man-made River Authority was set up. The project began the following year, fully funded by the Libyan government. The almost $30 billion cost to date has been without the need of any international loans. Nor has there been any charge on the people, who do not pay for their reticulated water, which is regarded in Libya to be a human right and therefore free.
NATO air strikes on the electricity supply, as well as depriving civilians of electricity, mean that water pumping stations are no longer operating in areas even where the pipelines remain intact. Water supply for the 70% of the population who depend on the piped supply has been compromised with this damage to Libya’s vital infrastructure.
But today Sirte is encircled by the rebels, and right now is being carpet bombed by NATO. The civilians are terrorised, and many families have tried to flee. But the rebels block all the exits, they kill the men, and send the women and children back into the city to be bombed. In the media the rebels are reported to have given Sirte until Saturday to surrender before they commence a full attack. But that’s not what’s happening really.
So, Muammar Gaddafi anticipated increased US threat to Libya. Libya Government has
not charged the people and the GMR Water Project is fully funded. IMF cannot make money and control polices and who gets the contracts. Libyans have been given false accounts of rebels’ actions and role in Libya.
I strongly suggest that people need to ask more questions to find more insights to what is really going on!
