• In WTF News: Beyonce Sings For Muammar al-Gaddafi’s Son

Russell Simmons who also attended Gaddafi’s party posted this photo to this twitter account shortly before Beyonce preformed

New York Post’s Page Six reports:
“Beyonce performed for an hour on New Year’s Eve at a party thrown by terror-backing Libyan dictator Moammar Khadafy’s son, Hannibal, who has a long record of violence against women.

“BeyoncĂ© performed five songs in a sexy black leotard at the Nikki Beach club on St. Barts in front of a crowd that included her husband Jay-Z, Usher, Microsoft founder Paul Allen and Lindsay Lohan.

“Just a week earlier, on Christmas Day, Hannibal, 33 — also known as Moutassim — allegedly attacked his wife, Aline Skaf, in his suite at Claridge’s in London. Three of his security staff were arrested for obstructing police. Skaf was reportedly hospitalized with a broken nose while Hannibal was whisked away in a diplomatic car.

“In July 2008, he and his then-pregnant wife were arrested on charges of beating their servants in a Geneva hotel. They denied the charges, which were dropped after the servants received compensation. Hannibal was also arrested in 2005 in a Paris hotel for allegedly punching Skaf. He then allegedly brandished a 9mm handgun and went on a furniture-smashing rampage in his hotel suite. No charges were brought.

“A year earlier, he led a police chase on the Champs Elysees, reaching speeds of 90 mph in his Porsche. No charges were brought after Libyan diplomats apologized. And in 2001, he allegedly attacked three Italian policemen with a fire extinguisher, but demanded diplomatic immunity.”

It should also be noted Muammar, Hannibal’s dad and dictator of Libya since 1969, has been linked to the following terrorist actions: the Munich massacre of 1972, the 1986 bombing of a Berlin discotheque, kidnapping Iranian and Saudi Arabian oil ministers, bombing both Pan Am Flight 103 in 1986 and UTA Flight 772 in 1989, and generally quelling any dissenters within Libya through assassinations and false imprisonment.

Apparently $2 million, the rumored fee received for Beyonce’s appearance, is enough to buy some faked ignorance.

    I ponder if the rumor of her currently being knocked up is serious or not.
