While some people are celebrating the death of Moammar Gadhafi let’s take a closer look at who he really was & the politics behind his death. Nothing is ever black or white but varying shades of grey which is why it’s very important to look beyond your local news to get more information. Our colleague Rahiem Shabazz said it best over at his site

“If you do a little research it may surprise you that the leader of the revolt in Libya spent his last 20 years in Langley, Virginia at the CIA Headquarters. Clearly, this is a CIA sponsored revolt with America giving arms and support to the rebels. Imagine if Russia or China would have gave weapons and monetary support to the Black Panthers in the 60′s to overthrow this government. That is what the U.S.A is doing in Libya.”

A man in New York City rode outside a speeding J train & it was captured on video by other passengers. Dude has some serious balls to do something like this!
