Shocking Home Video Exposes Gaddafi‘s ’Softer Side’

To the dismay of both rebel forces and the international community, alike, Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi still claims he’s somewhere inside of the war-torn country (talk about hanging on by a thread).
As rebel forces continue their efforts to “take back” their country, a new video clip that shows the leader in a different, more positive, light is making headlines.
In the recently-recovered home movie that Gaddafi’s victims and opponents will find shocking, the defunct leader’s “softer side” is exposed. In sum, the film makes him look like a loving, caring and doting grandfather.
In one part of the home movie, Gaddafi asks his granddaughter if she loves him. Her response? “No.” Then, he asks, “Don‘t you think I’m sweet?” Her response, “No.” There are many who would echo the young girl’s sentiments, it seems.
The videos was shot back in 2005 before the Libyan uprising began. Below, watch an Al Jazeera report that shows some of the footage, while putting it into a contemporary context:
And you can also view the raw video, complete with scenes that show Gaddafi interacting with his young grandchildren:

Posted on September 9, 2011 at 7:38amYou know, I don’t agree with going into Lybia, but that doesn’t make this guy any less evil. BTW to respond to an ealier post, I have heard Glenn Beck talk to his “Zionist” buddies about the Federal Reserve and he pulls no punches in his own opinion of the Fed, so check your facts. Anyway back on topic. Anyone can be seen being nice to their children occasionally. Especially those who molest them and abuse them. Abusers always manipulate their victims into thinking that “it’ll never happen again, I promise.” Just because he can be somewhat nice and loving (although REALLY CREEPY) to this young girl while the camera is rolling (which he knew about) doesn‘t mean that he’s not an evil Bastard. Burned maids, rape as a weapon in war, abused children, sexual deviancy…. I mean you name it this evil pri@k did it all. My jury is still out on whether or not we should have gone in because I have particular feelings about how long it took us to take Hitler out and all that but I also know that we can’t afford to help anyone else until we get our own house in order.

Posted on September 8, 2011 at 10:23pmThe reason this is shocking is because we were told by media and governments about how bad this guy was. When we see a soft side to him, we have to question what was really going on here. We are told that he was mad or crazy. Well maybe he just wasn’t a good speaker or he looked awkard in public, or was an extremely good actor. Who really knows now. Also many psychologists have said that most tyrants don’t have children because it gets in the way of their own personality and arrogant personality. They don’t want to be overlooked but want all the focus for themselves. These videos put into question all of this stuff and what the media and governments of the world want us to believe. It makes you think this war might have been prevented from the very early beginning through some sort of agreement between the rebels and loyalists. From these videos it seems like he might have been a reasonable man.

Posted on September 11, 2011 at 12:03amThe telling portion is right at the beginning when we hear the conversation: ‘Gaddafi asks his granddaughter if she loves him. Her response? “No.” Then, he asks, “Don‘t you think I’m sweet?” Her response, “No.” ‘ In this, we learned that even his grandchildren do not love and respect him. They are still to young to know what might happen to them for expressing their true feelings. They know the real Gaddafi and there is no love between them. If he is following the example of the Prophet, there is the real possibility of child abuse within the family.

Posted on September 8, 2011 at 7:02pmWTF did Ghaddafi ever do to you people? Answer: Not a damn thing. The only reason you people hate him is because the media(fake jews) tells you to. This Libya war is nothing more than helping France to pilfer Libyas’ oil, and to take out someone who stands against the zionist globalist bankers. Ghadaffi wanted payment for his oil in gold(not euro or dollars). That was the straw that broke the camels’ back.

Posted on September 8, 2011 at 6:40pmGhadaffi is not the first, nor likely to be the last tyrant who loves his kids. It doesn’t change the facts, it won’t un-torture or kill all who he has harmed, and it won‘t loosen the hangman’s noose. Remember Goebbels loved his kids too.

Posted on September 8, 2011 at 5:31pmOf course. In ancient texts such as the Bible, it is mentioned that even evil people treat their own with love. This was mentioned in a verse in Matthew: “…which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!”
In other words, it’s nothing new that evil people can show glimpses of good. Only liberals are vexed by this, hence their movies, literature, and art endlessly featuring bad good guys and good bad guys to the point of cliché.

Posted on September 8, 2011 at 4:32pmAnd Hitler was kind to dogs. Only idiots, like liberals, would be shocked at a tyrant’s ability to have a complex personality. It shows an inability to deal with the reality of evil that one has to assume that an evil man has to be 100% evil in all areas. Thus any sign of humanity undermines their ability to see him as evil.
