Documents
released by the U.S. Department of State Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA), confirm what many of us already knew about the real reasons
behind the Western intervention and the war in Libya. A war that
brought absolute chaos to the country and created waves of desperate
people fleeing to Europe, with many of them losing their lives in
shipwrecks.
The
documents confirm the
French neo-colonialism exercised through the currency control of the
West and Central African countries under the CFA franc, guaranteed by the French treasury, although,
remarkably, France itself has adopted euro-currency since 1999:
On
April 2, 2011 sources with access to advisors to Salt al-Islam
Qaddafi stated in strictest confidence that while the freezing of
Libya's foreign bank accounts presents Muammar Qaddafi with
serious challenges, his ability to equip and maintain his armed
forces and intelligence services remains intact. According to
sensitive information available to this these individuals,
Qaddafi's government holds 143 tons of gold, and a similar amount
in silver. During late March, 2011 these stocks were moved to
SABHA (south west in the direction of the Libyan border with Niger
and Chad); taken from the vaults of the Libyan Central Bank in
Tripoli.
This
gold was accumulated prior to the current rebellion and was
intended to be used to establish a pan-African currency based on
the Libyan golden Dinar. This plan was designed to provide the
Francophone African Countries with an alternative to the
French.franc (CFA).

Comment: According to knowledgeable individuals this quantity of
gold and silver is valued at more than $7 billion. French
intelligence officers discovered this plan shortly after the
current rebellion began, and this was one of the factors that
influenced President Nicolas Sarkozy's decision to commit France
to the attack on Libya. According to these individuals Sarkozy's
plans are driven by the following issues:
a. A
desire to gain a greater share of Libya oil production,
b.
Increase French influence in North Africa,
c.
Improve his intemai political situation in France,
d.
Provide the French military with an opportunity to reassert its
position in the world,
e. Address the concern of his
advisors over Qaddafi's long term plans to supplant France as the
dominant power in Francophone Africa)

The
revelations probably give another reason for which the young fanatic
Islamists can be easily manipulated by "religious" leaders
or other mechanisms, to conduct attacks in French soil. However,
despite that the documents refer to the French intervention, the
responsibilities of the West as a whole, cannot be ignored. In fact,
the revelations can be considered as further evidence concerning
various analyses about the attempt of the West to keep Africa under
the neo-colonial Western control.
Especially
the information that Libya was planning to provide the Francophone
African Countries with an alternative to the French.franc (CFA),
through its gold reserves, indicates that the West was seeing a great
threat on the possibility that Africa would turn to the Sino-Russian
bloc, as China has already strong economic presence in the continent.
As described
in previous article:
The [Libyan] war brought absolute
mess inside the country and increased the arc of the Islamic
extremism throughout north Africa to Iraq and Syria. Although it
can be considered a "preventive" proxy war to
destabilize regimes that could offer an opportunity to Russia to
expand its influence in the wider Mediterannean, it could be also
considered a preventive action against the Chinese economic
expansion in the entire African continent, according to some
analysts. Eric Draitser of StopImperialism.org,
points that Libya needs to be understood as the staging ground for
a continent-wide destabilization all throughout the North Africa
and West Africa region for the purposes of preventing China from
consolidating its position and providing Africa with an
alternative development model. These countries understand that
they are enslaved by debt, enslaved by corporate capital to the
West, that their independence is nominal at debt and they see in
China a potential alternative development path. That is what the
US and its allies have to crush, and terrorism is one of the ways
that they are doing that. (fa.ev/from-paris-to-syria-libya)
Boko
Haram fits perfectly in this plan.

Furthermore,
these actions by the then Qaddafi's government, show that Libya and
most of the West-Central African countries, could be easily attached
to an alternative monetary system, in the case that BRICS would form
such a system based on the gold standard: “As BRICS are in the
processes to decouple economies from the Western neoliberal monetary
monopoly, they could bring back the gold standard as a base for their
transactions, which is much more steady than the paper money unstable
financial bubbles. They are ready, because they are emerging
economies with billions of potential consumer tanks and can attract
other countries too being victims of the international financial
mafia, like Argentina and Greece.”

Of course,
the Western neo-colonialists would never accept such a perspective,
and would do anything to prevent it, even if they had to destabilize
the entire region.
