Funny story, I used to work with his interior designer. I recall him sitting there and telling me "it's sort of surreal to see your old boss's body being dragged naked through the streets."

What the fuck

“Stay out of the ocean” The submersible guys did not listen lmao

Mussolini commissioning Jews to make a sword symbolizing that he is the protector of Islam is the cheffiest of kisses. I can't imagine there was a shortage of Muslim smiths and jewelers in Libya for him to choose from.

I hope part two goes into how incredibly thirsty Qaddafi was for Condoleezza Rice.

You know, I really hate to say this, but he had GREAT fashion sense 🤷🏼‍♀️

Old though this episode is, I just feel compelled to observe that the "Nasser was a Nazi from 1948" thing around 51:30 was not as completely detached from reality as it sounds. The rocket program started under the Nasser government was staffed, in part, with West German rocket scientists, some of whom had been part of the Nazi rocket programs. The Israeli government assassinated several individuals involved with the program in the early 60s as part of Operation Damocles, presumably because the rocket program was a security threat but also, almost certainly, because some were ex-Nazis. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Damocles I have no idea why Qaddafi thought Nasser was a Nazi from 1948 but Nasser was at least willing to employ and use men who had been part of the Nazi system.

Oof. Then again, so did we in the US... To quote the fantastic Tom Lehrer... o/" Don't say that he's hypocritical, Say rather that he's apolitical. "Once the rockets are up, Who cares where they come down? That's not my department," Says Wernher von Braun o/"

Qaddafi called Anwar Sadat a Nazi, not Nasser. He liked Nasser. Sadat worked with a Nazi spy ring in 1942, though, so I’m not sure where he’s getting the 1948 part.

This is some crazy ****.

ALLEGED hate crime (the first one)

Yeah, not to be devils abdicate but it doesn't add up, Will he kill someone for been gay?

So yeah a cast doubt on that one. Not that he's not capable just that it sounds shady.

Y'all misspelled his name in the title.

translated or romanized words often contain characters and phonetics that don't exist in the received language and therefore produce a variety of spellings and pronunciations. it might be "Gaddafi" in a lot of places, but "Qaddafi" is definitely a common spelling of his name. RIP to Yaki Kadafi from Outlawz tho

My understanding is that the Qaddafi spelling is based on the romanization of modern standard Arabic, whereas Gaddafi is based on a phonetic approximation of certain Libyan dialects of Arabic.

It's not an England language name or originally written in roman script. Therefore, there js more than one way to render his name, and Gaddafi, Gadhafi, and Qaddafi, are fine.
