why libya?

WHY LIBYA?


Back in the day, around seven centuries or so ago, Venice decided that they were going to make vast fortunes by controlling the trade in spices ( and you wonder where Herbert got the idea from ) to Europe. Most spices, THE high value trade item of antiquity, went by sea from the SW Pacific and to the Muslim ports. The towelheads took them overland by camel. This was much safer, safe being a relative term, than over the Silk Road. Europe didn’t have a whole lot the Arabs needed, except slaves from the Caucus region and thereabouts. The slaves were turned into soldiers, which were used to convert neighboring regions into good little Muslim rug-prayers. And of course along the way, those slaves were used to fight any Christian infidels who invaded. So, in effect, the good little Italian Christians sold their religious enemies the tools to fight against themselves. The West selling their enemies the rope used to hang them ( the Soviets tag line ) is nothing new. For the last several decades the West has bought oil from the Muslims, allowing them the profits to overpopulate, along with the generous immigration policies which allow our fifth columnists to infiltrate legally. Keep this in mind as you read why we are invading Libya. Please note that I’m writing this on Friday afternoon, just in case something major happens to change any fundamentals here.

When we decided after a few weeks and at least one burning oil refinery to “help an Arab Brother out” by “leveling the playing field for the Forces Of Democracy” by placing a no-fly zone over Libya, I was at first pretty dumbfounded as to the reasons why. The stated reasons are as boldly false as the initial claims by those Evil Nips Hell Bent On Destroying Their Occupiers ( as an amusing home work assignment, watch the movie Black Rain with Michael Douglas ) that no radiation would be forthcoming from the ruined reactors. At first I thought that the invasion was a great ploy to divert attention from the Japanese Chernobyl, but I think that was too simplistic. The days of Wag The Dog went away with a balanced budget. You can’t afford too many wasted billions on military misadventures but rather need those munitions to matter for your grand strategy. After a week or so it finally hit me like a brick. Now, keep in mind this is a WAG, wild ass guess. I could be way off. But if you ask the question, who benefits, it makes sense. Keeping in mind of course that your world view must take in account that the central bankers manipulate things to stay in power, otherwise it won’t make sense to you. For what it is worth, here is my theory to why we invaded Libya.

With the destruction of the Japanese economy, the feared last straw that could break the camels back was in sight. The primary task of the bankers right now is to keep the derivatives market from imploding. The way this seems to have been done is global wide credit and currency expansion. But you can’t simply just keep debasing the currency. You need something to underpin the growth needed to feed the machine. In case you missed it, the last two years have been about bleeding the middle class of ALL accumulated wealth. Hey, better than blood in the streets, right? That is getting a bit thin, since every day another integrated part of the puzzle is getting in trouble and needs bailing out. You need real wealth to prop up the teetering system. Which is of course oil. Our oil supplies are contracting, and we need to secure them by military force now. For many decades, near a century, we have been able to secure the oil supply globally by economic manipulation. The dollar, once good as gold, and our control of global banking secured the oil. We could easily buy it with, in effect, IOU’s for our manufactured goods or food surpluses. Inflation bought our oil. Well and good. We might have stopped being self reliant in energy but as long as we could manipulate others into exporting it to us it was just like we were getting our oil from the 51st state. But now I wonder, did the 9-11 attacks do more damage to our economy than we thought? Was the Iraq invasion needed because our currency was no longer enough? Did we lose the manipulating process ten years ago?

If your currency is only recognized as toilet paper by those with commodities to sell, what other choice is there but to occupy the country they come from? What if the dollar actually was no longer able to buy oil back then? We heard about vague threats of Iraq going from dollars to Euro’s, but, given the integration of Europe and the US both economically and militarily, what if the real threat was something else? But let’s not get too far away from Libya. Suppose that Libya was to become Europe’s Iraq? Suppose that boots on the ground and control of the oil forced the country to sell oil for worthless paper currency. In that case, Europe now has a secure, free oil supply ( at least a supplement, which might be enough ). This props up the free fall economy. Which protects the huge derivative market from imploding. I know this scenario forces us to actually give the PTB the benefit of the doubt for being intelligent and able to think ahead, but it isn’t like they got to power by being clueless. Control the energy, keep civilization rolling. Right now it is just air strikes, but dollars to donuts we are setting up for a military control, hence oil control, of some kind. If the derivative market is one and a half quadrillion, even one percent failure is bigger than the entire US economy. Spending a few hundred billion on munitions to delay that sure seems a bargain. It is just controlling “our” oil by other means.
