The juice typically has sulphites added to kill yeast. This is why if you are going to make hard cider, you have to look around to find cider without sulphites at actual orchards. You won't find it at a grocer.

Bread left out in the open air will collect natural yeasts. Not as good as brewer's yeast strains or even baking yeast, but it will work.
It is also worth mentioning that these guys have an extremely low tolerance to alcohol after being locked up for so long, so they don't need much or a high percentage to feel it. Also, the percentage of mental illness and/or mental health meds being taken and also abused impacts the outcome and severity of getting hooch drunk.

I think that's nonsense. I wear a straw hat when kayaking in the hottest/sunniest months and it beats any other option.

NATO intercepted a satellite phone call from Gaddafi which pinpointed his fleeing in a convoy. NATO aircraft and a US predator drone, piloted remotely from the US, fired on Gaddafi's convoy crippling it so that he could be taken out by Libyans. None of this is conspiracy; it's the official narrative.

Proxy assassinations are nothing new. A bunch of failed attempts on Castro were similar for the thin veneer of plausible deniability it would have granted the US.

What's the rationale behind Gaddafi then?

We're not supposed to conduct assassinations. Since 1976, every U.S. president has upheld Ford's prohibition on assassinations, BUT both Democrat and Republican administrations have been weaseling around this ever since.
