I don't know really I hate the lobbying stuff you bribe and get your work done. One reason could be to have US soldiers stationed in Morrocco to protect the King against the Western Sahara Uprisings.

Libya Goes Dark Again Even While Internet Servers Continue Running
:salam2:
Libya shut down Internet access again on March 3, but it’s using a new technique to throttle network traffic even though it appears the nation’s Web servers are still technically up and running.
Libya lost Internet connectivity again on March 3, according to multiple traffic monitors.
Search queries to Google and YouTube traffic both flat-lined starting about 11 a.m. Eastern time, or 7 p.m. Libya time on March 3, and this has continued since, according to the Google Transparency Report. Interestingly, there had been a dramatic increase in YouTube traffic in the days just before the cut-off.
Traffic monitoring firm Renesys started receiving reports March. 4 that Libyans in Tripoli were unable to use the Internet, but saw nothing unusual in the BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) routing table, wrote James Cowie, the chief technology officer of Renesys, on the company’s blog tracking Libya’s outage. “All Libyan routes up and stable,” he wrote.
However, trace routes indicated there was no data-packet traffic flowing on the otherwise open routes. Renesys tried several Web sites known to be hosted in Libya, including government Web sites, and got no response, Cowie said.
"It's like a post-apocalyptic scenario where the roads are there, there just isn't any traffic," Cowie told the International Business Times.
Libya went dark on Feb. 19 and Feb. 20 for about seven hours each day in a regular pattern that implied a curfew rather than a total blackout. Like the Egypt shutdown, Libyan ISPs just turned off their servers to prevent people from going online. The current shutdown is different because servers are up and responding to “ping” requests, said Cowie.
Instead, Libyan telecommunications operators appear to be throttling down the network bandwidth to restrict traffic, much in the same way the ISP would cut off users when they exceeded their monthly data limit, Cowie said.
“Every time I think that someone has a way to shut down the Internet they come up with a new way,” Cowie told IBT.
The chairman of Libya Telecom & Technology, the country’s leading ISP, is none other than Muhammad Gadhafi, the eldest son of Col. Moammar Gadhafi.
The current outage follows weeks of reduced traffic volumes, according Arbor Networks, which monitors global Internet traffic using data from more than 100 ISPs in its ATLAS network.
While shutting down servers and withdrawing the BGP routes is basically hitting an Internet kill switch, Libya’s latest technique is more analogous to a strong firewall rule. Even though most of the population can’t get online, the technique theoretically allows some systems and users, Col. Moammar Gadhafi, for example, to continue using the Internet.
During the Egyptian shutdown, Google enabled a “speak to tweet” service that allowed users to call a phone number that would appear on Twitter. There has been no such service announced for Libya. It may not be as effective, as mobile phones have been working sporadically for at least a week, according to Al-Jazeera.
As before, there are a number of alternatives being shared on Twitter for Libyans to get online, such as a free dial-up account provided by organizations in Europe. XS4ALL, a "hacker-friendly" Internet service provider based in the Netherlands, opened up its modem lines for free during the previous curfew, but there had been no activity from Libya on the account, XS4ALL’s Niels Huijbregts told eWEEK.

I'm your brother
Gaddafi just ignoring what should have been a lesson for a dictator like him after the fallen of Tunisian and Egyptian leaders. I pray for Allah to give victory to Libyan brothers and sisters. There are yet few other dictators still cling to their powers in the Islamic world, may Allah remove all of them too. At the same time, Libyan should manage their affairs and reject any attempt from busy bodies like US and its allied gangsters.

While I dislike Gaddafi, I'm slightly worried about the fact that the US is supporting the rebels. I hope they haven't already set up some puppets that will be more willing to bend over to them. Gaddafi is a terrible, domestic dictator but he wasn't always on good terms with the USA from what I know.
Unlike the domestic tyrant dictators in the USA that already are puppets of the USA.

OKay someone please clear me on this:
I hear the protest going on in Libya is a Islamic one, if so then how come US is siding with the protesters?
If not then what is the actual situation in Libya?

You are in my thoughts and prayers dear sister. I hope that the situation will come to a conclusion ASAP, that you will not have to live with the terror and brutality of this regime any longer.
Stay safe, may Allah protect you always.

I've read that the US probably has a ready-made leader waiting to be installed after Gaddafi leaves, who will more readily listen to US and Israeli interests and be a better puppet..

You know what I find strange? Suddenly all news channels are brimming with a story of a "New Released Footage" of 9/11 from an NYPD helicopter. I have to ask myself: why now? After all these years? And why during a muslim-nation upheaval? Is this to reignite hatred and stir hatred again by flooding people's minds with 9/11 again, so they are pretty complacent when it comes to the US and other powers to start heavy military action in the Middle Eastern countries?
Assalaam walaikum,
Sister everything points to the fact that 9/11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB. AND UNTIL MUSLIMS ALL BELIEVE IT WAS AN INSIDE JOB IT WILL NOT STOP. WE HAVE MUSLIMS TESTIFYING BEFORE CONGRESS ON WHAT IS WRONG WITH RADICAL MUSLIMS..THEY HAVE TO STOP.
THERE IS NO RADICAL ISLAM
AND 9/11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB.
CHECK THE DATA
CHECK THE ENGINEERS ETC ETC ETC.

There is no radical form of Islam. True.
However, there are people who are extremists and use 'Islam' as a means to forward their misguided ideas and vicious motives.
With strong dawah, we can spread the words of our noble scholars who speak against such forms of extremism and the misguided people who call others to such acts. With the help and mercy of Allah azz zawajal, we will be able to better our conditions and stop muslims from committing such acts.

I believe you sister - it was definitely an inside job - there is so much evidence to the casual observer who just cares to look at all the evidence. But I'm saying that the media has brainwashed people to think that muslims are behind it. And that's what they're doing again - suddenly this new 9/11 footage pops up, coinciding with tropps being moved into muslim countries.
I could not have said it better myself Sister. You are so right about this country. I just wonder what will it take for the masses to rise up and demand accountability.

^ No good in protesting? That's why a revolution is necessary in these countries.
Also, to your other question about asking why the US is supporting the revolution if it's an Islamic one, I'd say to you that it's not always so simple. The US supported the Islamic resistance by the Afghanis against the Russians in the 1980s. They really supported it, with weapons and training, but they had their own interest. It didn't make the resistance fighters less Islamic. Assalam alaikum.
