Why Invade Libya
Although the article “Libya: One Quagmire Too Far?” (April 18 issue) is right on target with its reporting that Council on Foreign Relations apparatchiks in Washington are touting an overthrow of Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi, it did not mention possible hidden motives. Plutocrats, who determine U.S. policies via globalist elites at the CFR, are hell-bent on controlling the world’s petroleum resources and creating a one-world government.
They were successful in Iraq, eliminating Saddam Hussein, who resisted the takeover of Iraq’s vast and easy-to-produce oil reserves by Anglo-American Big Oil. Now ExxonMobil, BP, and Shell have quietly moved in and control nearly half of Iraq’s proved oil reserves (Oil & Gas Journal, July 19, 2010). In Afghanistan, the U.S. military is determined to secure that country so Big Oil can control the world’s fourth-largest natural-gas reserves in landlocked Turkmenistan with the proposed TAPI (Turkmenistan-Pakistan-India) pipeline.
Now in Libya, oil, banking, and U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) are possible hidden motives for regime change. Libya has the world’s ninth-largest proved oil reserves and “Libya’s low-sulfur crude is said to be easier and cheaper to refine than crude from other OPEC producers such as Saudi Arabia” (Oil & Gas Journal, April 1, 2011). Next, Libya has a 100-percent state-owned central bank that is outside the domain of globalist banking cartels, and requires Libyan dinars to do business in Libya (Global Research, April 14, 2011).
