Homage to "The End of Radio" by Shellac.
Speech by Muammar Gaddafi, a few months before he was overthrown.

lyrics

“...because Muammar al-Gaddafi is a national leader. Millions of people defend me.”

Check. Check, check, testing, 1.
Is this thing on?

As we come to the close of our broadcast day,
The end of expansion has arrived.
This is my farewell transmission.
Signing off, Mr. and Mrs. America. Goodnight Libya. Goodnight Russia. Goodnight to the Brazilian mines, to the China Pride, and to every ship at sea.
It was a good run.
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
As you exit the building, please do the Custodian a favor and throw away any trash that you have accumulated. Collect all of your balloons. Collect all of your belongings. Check under your seats for any loose change or lost babies.
Testing.
I’d like to thank our sponsor: Limitless growth.
There was a limit after all.
It was fun while it lasted.

Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
Is this thing on?

Muammar Gaddafi:
“I am calling upon the millions, from one end of the deserts to the other. And we will march in our millions, to purify Libya inch by inch, house by house, home by home, street by street, person by person, until the country is clean from the dirt and impurities. We cannot allow Libya to be lost unjustified, and for the wrong reasons. Who would allow that? On my side, I have millions of people, and God, who has triumphed me against the Great Power...

...You may regret this when it’s too late. People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. Who are you? It’s time to work! It’s time to march! It’s time to triumph! No going back! To the front! To the front! To the front! Revolution! Revolution!”
