Re: Biggest Demonstration in History!!

Enough of these racist attacks on president Obama's wars.

As it was with Bush, history will show that all six are somehow necessary.

The fact that Obama is only killing people with brown skins is a good thing though.

It shows that he really likes white people and isn't a racist.

<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-size: 14pt">Why Libya is under attack</span></span>

Libya is Africa’s largest oil economy, with 46.5 billion barrels of proven reserves; most of which was being sold to Europe, it is valued for its light, low-sulphur quality. The market price of crude is well over $100 a barrel, but Libya’s oil is very cheap.

Trading is via the Libyan Central Bank, in the Libyan dinar, not in US dollars. Of course, freezing Libyan assets puts a stop on this activity. This Bank is outside the IMF and the World Bank. <span style="font-weight: bold">Only four other MAJOR countries (MAJOR RichD MAJOR; not places like Andorra, Monaco or the Cook Islands) do not have a Rothschild-model central bank: Cuba, Sudan, Iran and North Korea. There were two others – Iraq and Afghanistan – but they were assimilated straight after the US-British invasions.</span> <span style="font-size: 8pt">(All countries that the US has a problem with? Hmmm...)</span>

In 2009, Colonel Gaddafi proposed nationalising all the foreign oil companies operating in Libya, saying, “Oil should be owned by the state at this time, so we could better control prices by increasing or decreasing production.” <span style="font-weight: bold">He was also planning to introduce a gold dinar – a new currency that African and Muslim nations would together create for their use to buy oil and other resources. <span style="text-decoration: underline">Gaddafi’s idea would have strengthened all of Africa.</span></span>

However, pricing oil in something other than the dollar would weaken US power in the world. The current dollar reserve system, which benefits the USA, is based on a deal made with Saudi Arabia in 1971 in which the Saudis agreed to accept only dollars for oil. <span style="font-weight: bold">This arrangement lets the USA print ever-increasing amounts of money, comparable to a central banking pyramid scheme.</span>

The attack on Libya serves the same corporate interests as did the 2003 attack on Iraq. The aim is to seize Libya’s oil reserves and wreck its National Oil Corporation. The rebels have created a new Libyan Oil Company to replace the NOC. These and other corporate interests also want to <span style="font-weight: bold">reduce China’s access to oil and raw materials throughout Africa, with the result that the US state is targeting China’s allies there, Libya, Sudan and Zimbabwe.</span>

Obama, Cameron and Sarkozy together wrote on 15 April, “Our duty and our mandate under UN Security Council Resolution 1973 is to protect civilians, and we are doing that. It is not to remove Gaddafi by force.” So when they went on to write, “Colonel Gaddafi must go, and go for good”, they went beyond the resolution, which made no mention of regime change. The clear attempts to assassinate Gaddafi by bombing, to kill the head of a sovereign state that has posed no threat to another state, are flagrant criminal acts.

Reports from Benghazi suggest that the rebels are already getting arms and equipment, most likely from Britain and France, which are also deploying military advisers in Libya. French politicians are calling for the deployment of ground troops. Britain’s military commitment to help the rebels is open-ended (a spokeswoman for Cameron said, “We must prepare for the long haul”) and the cost is estimated to top £1 billion by the summer. The USA has already spent $608 million on the war.

I like Mr. Obama's image, who could not befriend such an engaging person as he? He could be the neighbour down the way who comes over and shoots hoops with me on Saturday mornings. Smooth speaker, pleasant smile, lovely wife, two beautiful kids, cool dog. Lot's to like and admire there.

Too bad he is the <span style="text-decoration: line-through">head</span> front man for a criminal organization who will use every means necessary to keep the wealthy in riches and exploit the poor, cold blooded murder included.

He isn't any worse than George W. Bush, just more of the same. The difference being that he can actually speak well, and has superior social skills, and of course the American people eat that up.

This is where I disagree with johnnycakes.

Obama probably DID have ideas about closing Guantanamo, pulling out of Afghanistan and similar noble acts.

But then, once he became president, he realised that he's not allowed to have ideas.

The last president to have ideas was JFK - and look what happened to him.

Derek, that's precisely how I see it as well. And not only JFK but his brother Bobby. It's sad that such basically fine people wind up being no more than puppets for the criminal gangs running the world. It must be very depressing to win the US Presidency and then realize you're no more than just a cog in somebody else's evil - not to mention defective - wheel. I feel for him and yet I can't excuse him for taking charge of the war crimes, contraventions of international law and atrocities that are being perpetrated in the name of the American people and using their sons and daughters and tax money. One can sympathise with him, but for me it's hard to feel sorry for him because his own family isn't any more important than the hundreds of thousands Libyan families who have been totally destroyed and decimated by this war.

A so mi seet.

Thanks for the backgrounder on the financial reasons for this inexcusable war. When this sort of thing happens,it's always about $$$$$$.and Power.
