The deputy head of Libya’s National Transitional Council is resigning in light of continuing protests. Sukant Chandan, a spokesman for British Civilians for Peace in Libya, says the Council’s head may resign as well – if he doesn’t get killed first.

­“The Gaddafi regime could control all of Libya, could find peace amongst all the tribes. The new regime cannot even control something in one town or one area," Chandan told RT. "They’ve been selling their oil and natural resources and sovereignty to NATO. And now the thieves – that is, the rebels – are all falling out with each other, they can’t even be paid by their own masters." He continues, "they've performed regime change on behalf of the former colonialists of Libya.”

Chandan says those who wish not to believe what Gaddafi said of life in Libya after the fall of his regime should listen to Jalil, who he says “probably is about to resign – if he’s not assassinated, like NTC military head Abdel Fatah Yunis.”

The analyst says Jalil has warned that Libya is “in danger of descending into a bottomless pit.”

“So really, this is the achievement of ‘freedom and democracy’ by NATO,” Chandan concluded.

And Abdel Hafiz Ghoga, the NTC's deputy head, has been accused of opportunism after dropping his allegiance to Gaddafi as the uprising kicked off. On Saturday, crowds of protesters stormed the NTC headquarters in Benghazi, angered by how the council has been handling the country's assets. Demonstrators threw rocks and metal bars at the building, breaking windows and damaging Jalil's car.

Mass rallies have been raging for weeks in the city of Benghazi, which is considered the cradle of the revolution that toppled the Gaddafi regime.

What goes around comes around! The doctor that cures headache, also have a head and can expect ache there = Head Ache!

If you treacherously set fire on your neighbor’s house, well, you must be foolish the think the smoke will have mercy on you when choking you.

Gadhafi may be brutal, erratic, mad, whatever, but the truth remains that most so-called leaders that were quick to destroy him, are simply envious of him including those in the West, who only think of how to protect the interest of some evil bloodthirsty co-operations over their people's interest.

Gadhafi was destroyed by NATO and their allies in terror to keep Africa backward, but as said earlier, set your neighbor’s house on fire, and expect the smoke to choke you!

Don't worry about the NTC, its days are numbered because they know too much about the western planned assassination of the Libyan leadership, the confiscation of Libyan resources by foreign hired military and contractor elements of corporate oil giants and the Pentagon.

The NTC, also knows that the entire invasion was faked based on events that never happened to set the stage for a United Nations Security Council "No-Fly-Zone" resolution. That government forces of the Qaddafi state were not systematically targetting a peaceful opposition but a foreign-trained and paid mercenary group like in Syria, that was killing innocent Libyans and blaming it on government forces.

But, what the NTC failed to realize was that they were and are to be exiled , killed or silenced at all cost, because they wanted to actually lead a new Libya, which was scheduled for destruction and ghettoization. The NTC, stated asking for hidden Libyan funds and other wealth in western banks that probally already have been divided up by the western planners of the destruction of Libya.

Libya, under Qaddafi, was a problem with the way the west's views of how Arab and Africans should never be allowed to lead peaceful and successful governments without the control of its resources under their power. These countries are to forever in debt and have austerity budgets controlled by a selected western educated financial elites who's allegence is to western players and the NTC is not capable of being included in these elite circles.

They (NTC) are low-bred and not European enough to be hidden into the background, so they must be gotten rid of or step completely out of the way for a more western looking exile to be trained and inserted into the new leadership of Libya's oil and gas wealth.

Now, the War for Libya is to start!
