I like to understand what goes on around me to the extent possible. For the last several weeks I'd been wondering about the situation in libya and I was drawing a near total blank; within the last few days however an article by Ellen Brown, the lady I view as the world's ultimate banking/money-policy guru, and one particular comment on the topic on the FreeRepublic forum have brought the picture into sharp focus.
Ellen Brown's article:

and the FR comment:

You are right, Libya is also not about oil, but methinks it is more than just banking:
Other things worth looting: 1. Libyan water from GMMR is approx. 30cents/quart. Supply is 200 years' worth of Nile discharge.
2. Libya has huge sovereign wealth. 144 tons of gold is petty cash (approx $1 trillion vs. $6B in gold). They were shrewd investors in Europe and elsewhere
3. Europe owes Libya approx. $200B and can not pay.
4. IMF chokes whole Africa with $25B of cash. (Africa owes only $400B, less than Greece) Daffy plans to put IMF out of business in Africa.
Unlike Mubarak, Daffy[Khadaffi] and sons own nothing, it is all state property. Who controls the state, controls it sovereign wealth. I'd put a price tag on it at $5T.
Whatever might be said of Qaddafi's personal crimes, the Libyan people seem to be thriving. A delegation of medical professionals from Russia, Ukraine and Belarus wrote in anappeal to Russian President Medvedev and Prime Minister Putin that after becoming acquainted with Libyan life, it was their view that in few nations did people live in such comfort:In other words, being a citizen of Libya under Khadaffi's government is about as good a life as our planet has to offer. To want to rebel against that regime, a man would have to either be out of his mind, or be a member of the muslim-brotherhood branch of Al Quaeda to whom George Soros had said something like "Boys, you play ball with me, and I'll put you in charge of Libya and that five trillion dollars of wealth."
[Libyans] are entitled to free treatment and their hospitals provide the best in the world of medical equipment. Education in Libya is free, capable young people have the opportunity to study abroad at government expense. When marrying, young couples receive 60,000 Libyan dinars (about 50,000 US dollars) of financial assistance. Non-interest state loans and as practice shows, undated. Due to government subsidies the price of cars is much lower than in Europe and they are affordable for every family. Gasoline and bread cost a penny, no taxes for those who are engaged in agriculture. The Libyan people are quiet and peaceful, are not inclined to drink and are very religious.
They maintained that the international community had been misinformed about the struggle against the regime. "Tell us," they said, "who would not like such a regime?"
In other words, they have created the mechanism for controlling the wealth of Libya according to George Soros' rules and the rules of the world's big banks.
Several writers have noted the odd fact that the Libyan rebels took time out from their rebellion in March to create their own central bank - this before they even had a government. Robert Wenzel wrote in the Economic Policy Journal:
I have never before heard of a central bank being created in just a matter of weeks out of a popular uprising. This suggests we have a bit more than a rag tag bunch of rebels running around and that there are some pretty sophisticated influences.
Alex Newman wrote in the New American:
In a statement released last week, the rebels reported on the results of a meeting held on March 19. Among other things, the supposed rag-tag revolutionaries announced the "[d]esignation of the Central Bank of Benghazi as a monetary authority competent in monetary policies in Libya and appointment of a Governor to the Central Bank of Libya, with a temporary headquarters in Benghazi."
Newman quoted CNBC Senior Editor John Carney, who asked, "Is this the first time a revolutionary group has created a central bank while it is still in the midst of fighting the entrenched political power? It certainly seems to indicate how extraordinarily powerful central bankers have become in our era."
I do not know all details but it was something like this. Relations of US and Libya were very tense in the 1980s.
In 1986 US decided to hold a naval exercise in Libyan territorial waters and clashed with Libyan Navy (Gulf of Sidra incident). 35 Libyan seamen were killed.
After the incident, Daffy asked for all Arabs to attack American interests everywhere.
Soon afterward, a bomb was placed in Berlin discotheque and 80 people were killed.
The perps were one Libyan and Palestinians from Abu Nidal network.
After the fall of Berlin wall and when Stasi files got opened, perps were arrested and put on trial.
BBC reported that "Prosecution was unable to prove that Colonel Gaddafi was behind the attack - a failure which the court blamed on the "limited willingness" of the German and US governments to share intelligence. "
The terrorist underground of Europe was the place where strange connections and alliances were being built, and much of what was really going on was different from what was perceived, hence reluctance of US and Germany to share data. Google GLADIO NATO for more on the background of terrorism in Europe. Really scary stuff.
One thing is totally clear in this picture, this present situation is a major misuse of American military power.
Daffy seems to be kind of dictator who reads Wired magazine and has power to make dreams come true.
The more I read, the more I understand why Western "democracies" want to remove him.

Flashback: Colonel Gadhafi Khadafy Qaddafi Praises Obama’s Foreign Fundraising Prowess
Interesting the gems one can unearth with this here Internet thing. Thanks, Algore!
In June, Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi gave a public speech praising Obama, claiming foreign nationals were donating to his campaign. “All the people in the Arab and Islamic world and in Africa applauded this man,” the Libyan leader said. “They welcomed him and prayed for him and for his success, and they may have even been involved in legitimate contribution campaigns to enable him to win the American presidency…”
[O]n July 31 that donors from the Gaza strip had contributed $33,000 to the Obama campaign through bulk purchases of T-shirts they had shipped to Gaza…. A pair of Palestinian brothers named Hosam and Monir Edwan contributed more than $31,300 to the Obama campaign in October and November 2007, FEC records show. Their largesse attracted the attention of the FEC almost immediately. In an April 15, 2008, report that examined the Obama campaign’s year-end figures for 2007, the FEC asked that some of these contributions be reassigned. The Obama camp complied sluggishly, prompting a more detailed admonishment form the FEC on July 30. The Edwan brothers listed their address as “GA,” as in Georgia, although they entered “Gaza” or “Rafah Refugee camp” as their city of residence on most of the online contribution forms…. The latest Obama campaign filing shows that $891.11 still has not been refunded to the Edwan brothers, despite repeated FEC warnings and campaign claims that all the money was refunded in December.
The Libyan group fighting against Khadaffi does not include Thomas Jefferson or George Washington. The slammite brotherhood is a branch of AlQuaeda.
Wouldn't be the first time somebody like Bork Obunga ever repaid good with evil or stabbed a friend in the back... Al Wilson's song about something like that is said to be the anthem of Northern Soul.
We see how Obummer pays him back for exposing him. Makes Clinton seem like a nice guy with vince foster.
This one is Bork Obunga’s version of Kosovo.
They are racist murderers, poor at fighting soldiers but good at murdering African migrant workers.

What is there to know about the muslim brotherhood? Are they some new organization or do they have any real history??
Try asking anyone if they care that you can see your own imaginings.

It’s very interesting, and I agree Soros is a megalomaniac, but how does he fit in to this?
Soros is basically the guy pulling the strings for the dem party, Bork Obunga etc. and also a major player if not the most major player in the NWO banking nexus including the IMF and BIS and the only person who would plausibly have told those slammite bro-hood losers they needed a central bank before they had a country.
Libya was claiming about a third of the entire Mediterranean Sea as its territorial waters at the time, including most of the coast of Italy. If you want to call that "in Libyan territorial waters," you go right ahead. I choose to disagree with that assessment.
