Qaddafi was not killed for humanitarian purposes but for the oil and money. His ideas of an African currency were his major undoing.
The recent Hillary Clinton email leaks have opened a can worms everywhere including Africa. Wikileaks released an unclassified U.S Department of State document email to Clinton, dated April 2nd 2011. Sidney Blumenthal, the sender of the email confirmed what the world already suspected. Qaddafi was not killed for humanitarian purposes but for the oil and money. His ideas of an African gold backed currency were his major undoing.
In April 2011, then President of the World Bank, Robert Bruce Zoellick spoke at a panel discussion about how he hoped the World Bank would have some sort of role in the reconstruction of Libya along with other countries. To the ordinary person, this was the World Bank hoping to in to help a failing states but to Economist John Perkins, the world bank was not be considered as fulfilling its supposed mandate. It was actual fact a U.S bank together with it's sibling, the IMF.
The United States control 16% of the world bank while the second largest member, Japan has a paltry 7%. The United States again has around 17% voting rights in the International Monetary Fund. His point was that these institutions were and still are extensions of Western foreign policy.
"So, we might ask ourselves: What happens when a "rogue" country threatens to bring the banking system that benefits the corporatocracy to it's knees? he asked later saying the Western empire has a standing army (NATO) to violently protect its position. Libya was the "rogue " nation but the question is: Just what did Gaddafi have in mind ?
According to the IMF, Libya's Central Bank is 100% state owned and in 2011, it was estimated to have 144 tons of Gold in its vaults. Muhamed Gaddafi's plans was to introduce a gold backed currency which he hoped Afrcans and Muslims nations would adopt. He felt it could rival the euro and the dollar, and rightly so too.
If Qaddafi had succeeded, the United States of America and Europe would have been forced oil and minerals in the gold backed currency thus tipping the scales.
