Speech by Libyan revolutionary leader Muammar Gaddafi issued on August 24, 2011

The oppressed around the world, the battle has begun. Do not despair, help is near. Do you realize that this is the Night of Power? What is the Night of Power? It is better than thousands of other nights, is destiny, when the heavens are open to receive your prayers thousands fold.

Watch what is happening now in America. Have we beaten with our missiles? No, they came and struck us, 64 hits on Bab Al-Aziziya which is now destroyed, and finally I had to leave my house, killing many innnocents. But I’ll never leave Libya and in this struggle is victory or death.

Those of you in the United States of America. I am not your leader. If you’re in that state should be preparing to leave. Go to Venezuela. If you remain, you must follow my deputy, spiritual leader Minister Louis Farrakhan. Listen to him. He will tell you everything you need to know about what is unfolding.

Those of you in Europe, you should also prepare to be drowned in events and calumny. Not enough of you have raised. You have to accept the consequences, the good among you should head to Africa. Go west Africa. North Africa is not safe now that the region is a real battlefield. In West Africa, find homes and work well.

Those of you in Serbia, true friends of Libya, and you are with me. Do not despair of the rat flag in one house a million. All of you can cut pieces of green cloth, measured exactly two by one in dimension, which is their flag, the flag of popular power, of hope, of truth, of the future.

Everything in the world who support truth, freedom, Jamahiriya, hang in millions of homes, cars. The Green flag is yours and belongs to all bodies in the world. With the dawn of the authority of the people and to governments, we chose the green flag and made its color and dimension easy for all. Choose any Green. Cut one by two, exactly, and hang it everywhere, carry it with you.

Soon the Green flag flying around the world, with the collapse of the government, not its people, I just did more than all of them. They served different masters. It was intended to serve the people, ever. They are owned by other people. They do nothing for you. Ignore them and go. Prepare yourselves by forming committees, openly or secretly, configure your local mathabas to meet and share. Charting the way forward. The green flag belongs to all. 

The future is Libya, everywhere. Self Masses societies. Basic popular congresses and people’s committees. Green committees to guide, defend, expose, call, show the way forward for people power.It’s all there in the Green Paper, read, copy, compartirlo.Use their own communication systems, do not rely on the enemy. Make your own communications. Recover your resources to your hands, do not be afraid of power, possess it. It is their power, wealth and arms that the governments, banks and the military robbed you.

You can not ask others to represent you. You can not entrust thieves with your wealth. You can not ask others to fight and die on their behalf, to defend you. Are you human responsibility, to do this, the world will be free, organized, Libyan system, freedom and happiness, abundance of wealth for all.

The government was coming to an end and they are fighting their last breath. They are desperate. But they are bankrupt, not only financially, are bankrupt in morals, religion, education, intellect, ideas, they have no way forward. They are at the stage of collapse. That collapse is good for the people of the world who suffer because they are not free.

Or all the good people of the world know that Islam is not what is being put to you by the ignorant who make a public display of prayer, but in reality are serving the devil. Islam is submission to the will of Allah, the one God of all mankind. This is the night prayer. Your prayers are being answered. You are Muslims, all those who pray and do not associate partners with Allah.

People of Bosnia, many of you are wrong, the Arabs, the. Useless and weak The people of Serbia who are Christians and others would be closer to God. There is only one God. That God is the truth wherever it is found, read the Quran to know the truth, do not listen to those who would mislead you. If God is with you, who can be against you?

What Sharia are looking for other than we have since I was the first to bring Quran as the Law Society of the Libyan. Is the sharia of injustice? Oppression? Cowardice? Murder? Insanity? Drugs? Is it the sharia that elevates the rat with his gun that allows torture, rape, robbery? No! That’s not the sharia, ignoring everything in the Koran.

The prayers are being answered. More than forty armies have gone against me, just because I told the truth, because I would not let the thieves pass me into Africa. I promised Africa I will not betray. I promise the world, millions of people have me in their hearts, I’m struggling to finish.

Do not believe their trumpets. Who hears the trumpets is making a mistake. You have your own mathabas to go for information and to meet and deliberate. Do not listen to them. By now it should be clear to you. The fire is water, the water is fire. Know that the future is yours, governments are finished, a new era of the masses is coming, as predicted in the Green Paper.

I hear you. Many of your messages reach me. I can not answer individually but I feel your pain. Some of you were so affected by the lies in recent days that even contemplates suicide. No! No, never, suicide is not an option, when we are faced with a great victory. The costs will be high, but we must not falter.

I see that Africans worldwide, including in Australia, photographs contact me. I see you raise money to help East Africa. Are whites who brought these problems and cut us off from helping our brothers and sisters. Thank you for your oraciones.Pero must have the money. Instead, use to fight the oppressors.

Form committees green among you, meet in secret or open. Proclaim your allegiance to the green card.Studying the Green Paper. Sign conferences of his people, giving encouragement to others around the world, to prepare for the future world congress on crimes against humanity, has six months to prepare.

March next year may be the biggest congress of people, you can make it happen. Prepare and. Create a website should do, so that all crimes can be registered. While we fight to defend our nation, fighting in the battlefield of truth, for the pen is mightier than the sword.

Some of you came to our western border, but had to return. Have families to care. Now the way is clear, but NATO will not allow peace. They fear that the example of the Great Jamahiriya. They can destroy our physical achievements but they can not destroy the truth. The more you try, the more we will be victorious, victory is with the people, not the oppressors.

Thousands of you are waiting at various stations, see you in Tanzania, Congo, Ghana, Nigeria, and many other parts of Africa. The struggle if you do not win in Libya will come to you. Prepare for it. Prepare traps for the invaders. You must defend their corners.

African governments are not strong. They control only a few city centers. They often do not offer the services and people live without them. They will not stand in your way when the time comes. They are poor. They have been robbed by the racists, the colonialists, the white thieves from the north. Oppose them only if they oppose it. Be prepared. Build your Mathaba. Defend your continent.

They can attack with their bombs, but we defend with truth. They can never fight man to man. They are only cowards, sick, demented, hiding behind machines, they can not afford African countries one by one.African children can defeat any white mercenary, so they hide and destroy with hatred from far.

Do not get used.  Be united. Build your defenses for when they come if they manage to pass Libya. If they destroy Libya then attack them from behind.

Avoid if you can fight. The enemy wants us all to be stuck in their fields of battle, they want to engage all the war. Afganistán is now with us, Iraq is with us, Venezuela is with us. We want peace. We want justice.  Works conference on crimes against humanity, the use of their networks Mathaba, the Mathaba are the headquarters of the Green committees, and salt, victory is ours!
