-LIBYA: AL-QADHDHAFI SPEAKS TO PEOPLE'S CONGRESS
LD1601231089 TRIPOLI TELEVISION SERVICE IN ARABIC 2034 GMT
16 JAN 89
[SPEECH BY LIBYAN LEADER MU'AMMAR AL QADHDHAFI AT BASIC PEOPLE'S
CONGRESS IN AL-JABAL AL-AKHBAR MUNICIPALITY ON 16 JANUARY --
RECORDED; VIDEO SHOWS AUDIENCE LISTENING TO SPEECH BY AL-QADHDHAFI,
WHO IS NOT SEEN]
[TEXT] GOOD EVENING. I GREET THE CONGRESS. YOU,KNOW, I
APPLAUD THE CITIZEN WHO SAID: HOW IS IT THAT THE PEOPLE'S COMMITTEES
FOR JAMAHIRI SPORTS ARE ABOLISHED WITHOUT THIS BEING DECIDED BY
PEOPLE'S CONGRESSES. THE SHINING REALITY IS THAT ANYTHING GOES
WITHOUT ANYONE OBJECTING. THIS MEANS THAT ANYTHING DONE BY THE
MASSES MIGHT BE CANCELLED WITHOUT THE MASSES HAVING OBJECTED TO THIS
CANCELLATION. NOW IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS INDEED A CITIZEN WHO IS
CAPABLE OF DECIDING HIS OWN FATE AND AFFIRMING PEOPLE'S POWER. THIS
VERY CITIZEN HAS SHOWED PEOPLE'S POWER. I WISH ALL THE MEMBERS OF
THE PEOPLES' CONGRESSES WERE LIKE THIS CITIZEN WHO HAS PROTESTED THE
ABOLITION OF THE PEOPLE'S COMMITTEES FOR JAMAHIRI SPORTS.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, I WAS THE ONE TO CALL FOR THE ABOLITION OF
THE PEOPLES' COMMITTEES FOR JAMAHIRI SPORTS, AND THE IDEA FOR
JAMAHIRI SPORTS WAS MINE. BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN DISMAYED AT ALL OR
BECOME ANGRY AT THE FACT THAT THIS CITIZEN HAS SAID NO, BJECTED AND
PROTESTED, BECAUSE IT IS TRUE. SOMETIMES I WANT TO TEST YOU. I
ABOLISH SOMETHING, AND IT GOES UNDETECTED. HOW CAN IT BE UNDETECTED
BY YOU, IF YOU WERE NOT THE ONES TO DECIDE ON THE ABOLITION OR TO
UNDERSTAND IT? THIS CITIZEN IS A GENUINE CITIZEN. HE IS AN AWARE
CITIZEN. HE SHOWS THAT, WHETHER MU'AMMAR IS THERE OR NOT, WHETHER
THE REVOLUTION COMMAND EXISTS OR NOT, NO ONE CAN CANCEL THE PEOPLE'S
POWER. I WANT THESE CONGRESSES TO LAST FOREVER AND THESE PEOPLE'S
COMMITTEES TO LAST FOREVER. THE PEOPLE MUST DECIDE THEIR FATE
WITHOUT PATRONAGE, WITHOUT MU'AMMAR, AND WITHOUT THE REVOLUTION
COMMAND.
HOW IS IT THAT YOU HEAR ABOUT THE IDEA OF THE ABOLITION OF THE
PEOPLE'S COMMITTEES FOR JAMAHIRI SPORTS, AND THIS IDEA PASSES
WITHOUT ANY OBJECTIONS FROM YOU? THERE IS SUPPOSED TO BE SOMEONE
WHO IS AWARE LIKE THIS CITIZEN, WHO SAID: NO, THIS HAS NOT BEEN
DECIDED. IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER THE PEOPLE'S COMMITTEES FOR
JAMAHIRI SPORTS ARE USEFUL OR NOT, DESERVING OR NOT DESERVING OF
ABOLITION, THE PRINCIPLE IS AN EXTREMELY SERIOUS ONE -- THAT OF
RECEIVING ANY IDEA, ANY ORDER, AND PASSING THEM WITHOUT KNOWING WHO
HAS DECIDED THEM.
THE CITIZEN WAS RIGHT WHEN HE SAID: WE HAVE NOT DECIDED THIS.
YOUR CONGRESSES SHOULD HAVE CONVENED AND DECIDED ON THE ABOLITION OF
JAMAHIRI SPORTS. SO LONG AS THE CONGRESSES HAVE NOT DECIDED THIS
ABOLITION THEY MUST NOT BE ABOLISHED. WHY SHOULD THEY BE ABOLISHED?
DESPITE THE FACT THAT I WAS THE ONE BEHIND THIS IDEA OF
ABOLITION, THE CONGRESSES MUST DISCUSS THESE INSTITUTIONS THAT ARE

PEOPLE'S CONGRESS AND SAY: WHY SHOULD WE BE ABOLISHED WITHOUT A
DECISION? DESPITE THE FACT THAT I WAS THE ONE TO DECIDE THIS, IT IS
NOT CONSTITUTIONAL; IT IS NOT LEGAL FROM THE DEMOCRATIC POINT OF
V I EW.
I KNOW THAT FROM THE REVOLUTIONARY POINT OF VIEW IT IS ALL RIGHT.
SO LONG AS I AM SERVING THE REVOLUTION I CAN BLOCK EVERYTHING AND
USE THE REVOLUTION. THAT IS IT, I CAN USE THE REVOLUTIONARY
PROGRAM. THIS IS THE REVOLUTION. BUT NOW I AM NOT FOLLOWING THE
REVOLUTIONARY PROGRAM. I AM FOLLOWING THE POPULAR DEMOCRATIC
PROGRAM WHICH [WORDS INDISTINCT] THE PEOPLE.
I AM GRATEFUL TO THIS CITIZEN. HE REPRESENTS CITIZENS WHO ARE
AWARE, AND ALL MEMBERS OF THE PEOPLE'S CONGRESSES SHOULD BE LIKE
THIS CITIZEN. FORWARD.

-TAKE 2 OF 3 -- 023 (AL-QADHDHAFI SPEECH)
[TEXT] CONSEQUENTLY, ALL THE INSTITUTIONS WHICH ARE CONSIDERED
AS BELONGING TO THE STATE WILL HAVE TO BE ABOLISHED, FIRST AND
FOREMOST THE JAMAHIRI SPORTS, WHICH HAVE UTTERLY FAILED. I SAID
JAMAHIRI SPORTS, THAT IS, THE SPORTS OF THE MASSES. FOREIGN RADIO
BROADCASTS SHOW SHOTS FROM EXTENSIVE AND LONG STREETS CROWDED WITH
THE MASSES WHO PRACTICE JAMAHIRI SPORTS. THE JAMAHIRI SPORTS HAVE
MOVED TO... [CHANGES THOUGHT] THE WORLD HAS BECOME AWARE OF THEIR
IMPORTANCE. IN EUROPE, AND IN (?THE REST OF THE WORLD), YOU CAN SEE
THAT THOUSANDS TAKE PART IN THE JAMAHIRI SPORTS. HERE, JAMAHIRI
SPORTS HAVE NEVER BEEN ESTABLISHED. THERE ARE ONLY CLUB SPORTS,
THOSE OF A SELECTED, CHOSEN, OR ELECTED GROUP OF AMATEURS, WHICH
PEOPLE KEEP WATCHING.
AS LONG AS THIS SITUATION PERSISTS, SOCIETY CANNOT BE RESPONSIBLE
FOR SPENDING, FOR THE COSTS OF SPORTS FOR FUN AND AMATEURISM, AND
FOR INDIVIDUAL SPORTS. ANY GROUP OF PEOPLE ARE FREE TO SET UP A
CLUB. THEY ARE FREE AND THIS IS THEIR OWN RESPONSIBILITY. THE
SPORTS WE SHOULD IMPOSE AND FOR WHICH WE SHOULD SHOULDER
RESPONSIBILITY AS A PEOPLE ARE THE SPORTS IN WHICH ALL OF US, 4
MILLION LIBYANS, PARTICIPATE, EXCEPT THOSE WHO ARE UNABLE, SUCH AS
CHILDREN OR EVEN DISABLED PEOPLE HAVE SPORTS [AS HEARD]. APART FROM
SCHOOLS, EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS AND THE PEOPLE IN THIS AGE,
HOUSEWIVES AND ELDERLY PEOPLE ALSO HAVE SPORTS. WE WANT TO CREATE A
SANE AND HEALTHY SOCIETY: A SOUND MIND IN A SOUND BODY.
JAMAHIRI SPORTS HAVE UTTERLY FAILED. THEY COULD NOT HAVE BEEN
IMPLEMENTED EVEN FOR A YEAR. CONSEQUENTLY, THERE IS NO NEED FOR
1,000 CIVIL SERVANTS IN THE JAMAHIRIYAH FOR THE SAKE OF JAMAHIRI
SPORTS. THERE ARE 1,000. THESE 1,000 CAN GO HOME. THEY WILL NOT,
AS I SAID, GO EMPTY HANDED; THEY WILL BE IN COOPERATIVES, OR SHOPS,
OR THEY WILL BE GRANTED LOANS IN ORDER TO LIVE ON AGRICULTURE. BUT
IT IS OVER; THEY HAVE FAILED IN JAMAHIRI SPORTS. WE DO NOT NEED TO
PAY FOR 1,000 CIVIL SERVANTS WHEN THERE ARE NO JAMAHIRI SPORTS IN
THE END. LOCAL, FREE, AND VOLUNTARY SPORTS SHOULD REPLACE THEM.
ANY TRIBE CAN PLAY SPORTS, ANY STREET CAN PLAY SPORTS, ANY GROUP CAN
SET UP A CLUB. THEY ARE FREE. IF THERE IS ANY ASSISTANCE THAT THE
PEOPLE OR THE STATE, THAT OF THE JAMAHIRIYAH, CAN GIVE TO THESE
INSTITUTIONS AND CLUBS, THEN LET THEM DO IT. IF NOT, THESE ARE FREE
SPORTS, EVERYBODY IS FREE. WHETHER SOMEONE ORGANIZES A GAME FOR
PROFIT OR IN ORDER TO IMPROVE HIMSELF, THE IMPORTANT THING IS THAT
THE JAMAHIRI SPORT HAS FAILED, AND CONSEQUENTLY THERE IS NO
JUSTIFICATION TO MAINTAIN 1,000 OFFICIALS FOR THE SAKE OF JAMAHIRI
SPORT; AND ALTHOUGH I SAID IT SHOULD BE ABOLISHED, IT SHOULD IN
FACT, BE ABOLISHED ONLY AFTER THE (?DECISION) OF THE PEOPLE'S
CONGRESSES, AND THIS IS THE CORRECT WAY; REGARDLESS OF MY DECISION,
THE CITIZEN HAS OBJECTED, AND THIS IS A REALLY ALERT CITIZEN WHO
DESERVES PRAISE.
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF INSTITUTIONS WHICH MUST BE ABOLISHED. I

HAVE TOLD YOU: THE FARMERS ARE NO LONGER EXPECTING ANYONE TO SELL
THEIR PRODUCE FOR THEM OR TO PROVIDE THEM WITH FERTILIZERS, OR
ANIMAL FEED. WHERE IS THE FERTILIZER, AS THEY DID NOT PROVIDE IT?
WHO ARE THOSE WHO DID NOT PROVIDE YOU? WHERE IS THE FEED? WHY DID
NOT THEY PROVIDE US AND DISTRIBUTE IT FAIRLY, AND WHY THEY ARE
SELLING IT TO US AT SUCH A COST? WHO ARE THEY? AS IF THERE ARE
OTHER PEOPLE. I WANT TO ABOLISH ALL THAT AND I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR
THIS AGAIN. THE FARMERS MIGHT BE CONFUSED FOR 1, 2, 3, OR 4 YEARS,
AND THEN THEY THEMSELVES WILL CREATE INSTITUTIONS FROM THEIR
CONGRESSES WHICH WILL UNDERTAKE TO PROVIDE THEM WITH THE FEED,
FERTILIZERS, AND PESTICIDES, AND ALSO THE MARKETS FOR THEIR OUTPUT,
AS THERE WILL BE NO AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE MARKETING COMPANY. THE
FARMERS ARE TO MARKET THEIR PRODUCE, WHETHER IT IS IN MALTA, OR FROM
TRIPOLI TO AL-BAYDHA, TO BRING IT FROM AL-BAYDHA TO GHARYAN, TO
SABHA, OR TO JAGHBUB; THEY ARE FREE, THEY HAVE TO FIND THE WAY.
THEN POPULAR ORGANIZATIONS WILL EMERGE, MANAGED BY THE PEOPLE, SO
THAT THEY THEMSELVES ARE RESPONSIBLE, AND TOMORROW THEY WILL NOT BE
ABLE TO COMPLAIN.
THERE WILL BE NO ONE TO BUY CARS FOR YOU, AND I AM INSISTING ON
ABOLISHING THE COMPANIES WHICH IMPORT CARS. I DO NOT KNOW THEIR
NAMES, IS IT THE TIBISTI COMPANY? SO THAT THE PEOPLE THEMSELVES
WILL MANAGE. EVERYONE TAKES THE MONEY AND POOLS IT TOGETHER. YOU
CAN SET UP A BUREAU OR AN AGENCY OR A NEW COMPANY SO THAT TOMORROW
THEY WILL NOT BE SAYING: WHY DID THEY NOT IMPORT CARS FOR US? NO,
THEY WILL SAY: WE HAVE CHOSEN SUCH AND SUCH A COMPANY TO IMPORT FOR
US. THEN THERE WILL BE NO RESPONSIBILITY PLACED ON SOMEONE ELSE.
THIS COUNTRY IS WITHOUT COMPLAINTS, WITHOUT STRIKES, WITHOUT
DEMONSTRATIONS, BECAUSE THE PEOPLE RULE THEMSELVES. THE STRUGGLE FOR
POWER MUST END. THE DEMONSTRATIONS AND THE SIT-INS AND THE PROTESTS
ARE ALL PROTESTS (?AGAINST) AUTHORITY, A STRUGGLE FOR POWER.
HOWEVER, ALL THIS MUST END BECAUSE POWER IS IN THE HANDS OF THE
PEOPLE, IT IS A GOVERNMENT OF ALL THE PEOPLE. SO AGAINST WHOM ARE
YOU PROTESTING? AGAINST WHOM ARE YOU ORGANIZING A SIT-IN?
THE WORKERS ARE PARTNERS, AND AS PARTNERS THEY WILL NOT STRIKE,
EVEN FOR AN HOUR. BECAUSE IF FOR EVEN AN HOUR THEY DID THEIR SHARE
IN PRODUCTION WOULD DECLINE. THESE ARE DRASTIC SOLUTIONS WHICH I
INSIST ON APPLYING IN THE WORLD.
THEY WILL BE THE CORNERSTONE OF A NEW WORLD KNOWN AS THE ERA OF
THE MASSES. MANY ESTABLISHMENTS MUST BE ABOLISHED, AND YOU ARE
FREE. YOU CAN PUT THAT FORWARD NOW, OR YOU CAN DECIDE THAT I PUT IT
FORWARD BEFORE YOU ON 2 MARCH. I CAN DO THAT AT THE MEETING OF THE
GENERAL PEOPLE'S CONGRESS. HOWEVER, ALL THOSE ESTABLISHMENTS ARE
GOING TO BE ABOLISHED AND THEIR EMPLOYEES WILL GO HOME. BUT THERE
MUST BE SOMETHING ARRANGED FOR THEM TO ENABLE THEM TO EARN A LIVING,
AND NOT JUST TELLING THEM: WE HAVE LAID YOU OFF; THAT IS IT.

LD1601233489
[TEXT] THE JANA NEWS AGENCY HOUSES A HUGE OCTOPUS WITH HUNDREDS
OF OFFICIALS AND STILL IT IS USELESS. IT IS ONE OF THOSE
INSTITUTIONS WHICH TIRES ME. THE NEWS NEVER ARRIVES. HOT, URGENT
NEWS NEVER ARRIVES. A NEWS ITEM BROADCAST BY THE WORLD TODAY IS
REPORTED TO US BY OUR AGENCY THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW. WHAT WE WANT
TO BE BROADCAST IMMEDIATELY IS NOT BROADCAST AT ALL. IT IS
CONFUSED, AND DOES NOT EVEN KNOW HOW TO WORK. IT IS TIMID AND
IGNORANT, ASSUMING THAT THEY MIGHT ERR AND BE HELD RESPONSIBLE BY
SOMEONE, WHO WILL HOLD THEM RESPONSIBLE. THEREFORE, IT MUST BE
ABOLISHED.
TEN INDIVIDUALS WILL SIT WITH A RECEIVER, JUST LIKE ABU AMMAR
[PLO CHAIRMAN YASIR 'ARAFAT -- FBIS] WHO HAS ONLY ONE SET WITH WHICH
HE COMMUNICATES WITH 120 OTHER SETS, WHICH WE HAVE BOUGHT FOR THEM.
HE SENDS A CABLE, AND IT APPEARS IN 120 STATES.
THIS IS HOW WE WILL OPERATE, ONE MACHINE WILL BROADCAST TO THE
WORLD, AND THERE WILL BE NO NEED FOR THIS OCTOPUS AT ALL. IT MUST
BE ABOLISHED.
AND THE SECURITY SERVICE IN THE JAMAHIRIYAH ALSO MUST BE
ABOLISHED, BECAUSE COMPLAINTS ARE MOUNTING AGAINST IT AND ITS
VIOLATIONS ARE ON THE INCREASE, ADDED TO THE COMPETITION THAT EXISTS
WITH THE FOREIGN MINISTRY. IT MUST BE ABOLISHED. THE JAMAHIRIYAH
SECURITY SERVICE AND THE BUREAU OF INVESTIGATIONS HAVE OVERLAPPING
FUNCTIONS IN THEIR SECURITY WORK. IT CERTAINLY MUST BE ABOLISHED.
ALL THE INSTITUTIONS WHICH ARE TRADITIONALLY CONSIDERED STATE
INSTITUTIONS ARE TO BE ABOLISHF'). YOU MIGHT FOUND YOURSELVES IN
DISARRAY FOR 1, 2, 3, OR 4 YEA,,.', BUT AFTERWARDS YOU YOURSELVES, OF
YOUR OWN VOLITION, WILL COME OUT WITH INSTITUTIONS, ESTABLISHMENTS,
AND INSTRUMENTS WHICH ARE 100 PERCENT POPULAR, FOR WHICH YOU WILL BE
RESPONSIBLE; YOU WILL BE IN CHARGE OF YOUR AFFAIRS. AFTERWARD, IF
YOU WANT TO BE ANGRY WITH THEM, THEN SO BE IT; IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE
THEM, THEN YOU WILL CHANGE THEM.
BUT SO FAR, THESE COMPANIES, THESE INSTITUTIONS, AND ALL THESE
BODIES SEEM TO BE LITERALLY IMPOSED ON YOU; THEREFORE THEY WILL BE
ABOLISHED. THIS IS YOUR BUSINESS. YOU MAY DISCUSS THEM NOW, OR
SOME OTHER TIME, BUT THEY ARE GOING TO BE ABOLISHED FROM THIS YEAR.
FIND YOUR OWN WAY. I FOR ONE WAS HAPPY THAT IT DID NOT PASS
UNDETECTED AT LEAST BY THIS AWARE CITIZEN AT YOUR CONGRESS. IT DID
NOT PASS UNDETECTED BY HIM. HE ASKED: WHO HAS ABOLISHED IT?
AS A MATTER OF FACT I AM EVEN GOING TO ABOLISH JANA. IT HAS 400
EMPLOYEES. WE DO NOT WANT THEM ANY MORE. WE WANT JUST 10 PEOPLE.
I HAVE CONDUCTED AN INVESTIGATION AND THEY SAID: WE WANT JUST 10
PEOPLE WHO WILL MANAGE IT AND THE REST WILL GO HOME. IT IS NOT
SUPPOSED TO BE ABOLISHED, AND THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO COME TO THE

ABOLISHED. WHAT I AM SAYING TO YOU -- AND I HAVE TOLD YOU THIS IN
THE PAST, BECAUSE THIS IS OPEN AND IT IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN
INCLUDED ON THE AGENDA -- IS THAT A REAL PEOPLE'S JAMAHIRIYAH MUST
BE SET UP, WITH THE ABOLITION OF THE OFFICIAL JAMAHIRIYAH, BECAUSE
THE INSTITUTIONS EXISTING CURRENTLY, DESPITE THEIR BEING SET UP BY
THE PEOPLE'S CONGRESSES, ARE STILL REGARDED BY PEOPLE AS GOVERNMENT
INSTITUTIONS.
TAKE CARS, FOR EXAMPLE. WHY NOT IMPORT CARS? SO LONG AS THE
PEOPLE, THE CITIZENS, SAY: WHY NOT IMPORT CARS, THIS MEANS THAT
THERE EXISTS ANOTHER QUARTER, OTHER THAN THE PEOPLE, RESPONSIBLE FOR
IMPORTING OF CARS. SOME 100,000 CARS HAVE BEEN IMPORTED, AND IT WAS
SAID: WHY IMPORT JUST 100,000 CARS? THIS IS NOT ENOUGH FOR US, WHY
NOT IMPORT MORE? I WANT TO KNOW WHO HAVE NOT BROUGHT IN CARS, WHO
HAS OR WHO HAS NOT IMPORTED CARS. WHO ARE THEY? THERE MUST NOT BE
A PARTICULAR QUARTER OUTSIDE THE PEOPLE.
THEREFORE, I AM DETERMINED TO ABOLISH ALL THE CURRENTLY EXISTING
INSTITUTIONS, EVEN IF THEY HAD BEEN SET UP BY PEOPLE'S CONGRESSES IN
THE PAST, AND WERE CONSIDERED AS OFFICIAL AS IF THEY WERE STATE
INSTITUTIONS, OR -- TO PUT IT IN AN UNACCEPTABLE WAY -- AS
GOVERNMENTAL INSTITUTIONS. THEY ARE NEITHER GOVERNMENTAL, NOR
BELONGING TO THE STATE, NOR IMPOSED UPON THE PEOPLE. THEY WERE
DECIDED BY THE CONGRESSES, BUT PEOPLE STILL CONSIDER THEM VERTICAL
AND HIGHER INSTITUTIONS WHICH LIE OUTSIDE THEIR POWER AND PERTAIN TO
A GOVERNMENT.
THUS, I AM DETERMINED TO SET UP A POPULAR REGIME IN THE WORLD,
THE BASIC FOUNDATION OF WHICH WILL BE LIBYA. IT WILL BE A GENUINELY
POPULAR REGIME, WITH GENUINE PEOPLE'S POWER BECAUSE WHAT IS
HAPPENING NOW IS NOT MY PROGRAM. AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, IF I
WERE TO RULE I WOULD RULE IN A DICTATORIAL WAY AND WOULD IMPLEMENT
THE REVOLUTIONARY PROGRAM WITH FIRE AND SWORD, BY FORCE OF ARMS AND
THE SWORD. AND IF SOMEONE HAS A PROGRAM (?AGAINST) THE PEOPLE, HE
COULD IMPLEMENT IT LIKE STALIN DID, AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, I DID
NOT ACCEPT THIS. WHAT IS BEING IMPLEMENTED NOW IS DEMOCRATIC CHANGE
OR PROGRESS BY THE POPULAR MASSES. THE CURRENT PROGRAM IS THE ONE
WHICH IS CHOSEN BY PEOPLE, NOT THE ONE I HAVE CHOSEN. I HAVE A
REVOLUTIONARY PROGRAM WHICH, I KNOW, WILL NOT FUNCTION THIS WAY. IT
WILL FUNCTION WHEN I RULE, BUT I DO NOT WANT TO RULE. I DECIDED
THAT IT IS THE PEOPLE WHO SHOULD RULE.
