Madison Ruppert: Libyan Rebels are falling apart, but Gaddafi remains unfazed by NATO campaign.

For months now, the Libyan rebels have been infighting, and progressively moving toward total discontinuity. As I have been saying since the beginning, this is NOT as cut-and-dry as the mainstream media made it out to be. The notion that an unelected body which declares itself as the "sole legitimate" representative for an entire nation, is entirely ludicrous. The fact remains that an unelected body, which claims to represent the entire Libyan people is laughable at best. We all know that the Libyan people have not voted for these rebels, and have never supported them. Let's put this into perspective: If, during a period of intensive civil unrest in our United States, a tiny elite claims to be the sole representatives of our nation, they would, at the very least, be laughed out of office. What if the "international community" then claims to support them, providing financial and military aid, would even this make them legitimate? If the people of Libya were actually behind these "self-proclaimed" rulers, would they have the right to kill these so-called representatives of the people? To make this scenario even more ridiculous, could these unelected rebels in our country claim to lead our government for the benefit of our people? Wait, I think that our 'government' under Obama has already done that!
