WhoWhatWhy’s Libya Primer: The (Still) Untold Back Story to Qaddafi’s Demise

By Russ Baker on Oct 20, 2011

In light of Muammar Qaddafi’s apparent death—and in anticipation of the deluge of news “coverage” that will tell us little of substance about what happened in Libya this past year, and, more importantly, why—we’d like to offer some answers, taken from our reporting over that period. (And please share this information with your friends and colleagues; an informed public is a public not easily duped.)

In a nutshell: Qadaffi wanted to create a new “USA” – the United States of Africa with a gold-backed dinar to economically unite the continent. The neo-colonialists have other ideas… As for the execution:

The sources of information are important, too! Avoid being misinformed by checking sources! Takes more time, but the dupability factor is reduced that way, IMHO.

if this country is to regain its strenghth we must get out of the Middle East because the Greed that is ruining us is lust for oil money.We must defeat the uninformed actions of the new GOP and raise revenue. ACCC and a WPA wouldnt hurt either. Read Robert Reich

I would not be surprised, if he died because either he knew to much and was about to do show and tell, or he became “inconvenient” for whatever reason. Inconvenient to the Establishment, that is. The Establishment decided that it would be good to whack Qaddafi, and staged the whacking as if his (Qaddafi’s) own people, the Libyans, have done it. I find the drain pipe scenario especially suspicious and disturbing. Like Saddam Hussein hiding in a hole in the ground, my ass.
