Foreword by Ron: When the Americans were AFRICOM in 2007, 49 countries signed the Charter for Africa, U.S. military, but a country refused: Libya. Colonel Gadaffi has refused a puppet of the Rothschild Bank or Anglo American, to be specific groups of military empire. Libya produces its own money and has its own central bank and his own oil company and is committed to nothing. It was a shining light to all African nations, and therefore it had to be destroyed, lest his example, others encourage it to do the same. Libya bombing back to the stone age and the distance from Gadaffi would give the Rothschilds, not only in control of Libya's money supply and banking system - which the Libyan people would be enslaved - but this would give the Anglo American and French companies control of Libya's oil and water reserves and put China's large investment interests and matt. China's huge trade losses and restrictions on access to raw materials, resulting from this hidden war in Libya, will be another bonus for the Anglo American and NATO countries and elsewhere, China could bring a backlash in Africa. It is difficult to see why China has approved to start this covert war against the Libyan nation. It could veto the proposal of the UN for a "no-flight zone" and thereby protect China's considerable interests in Libya and Africa, but may be it did not. It must have so that China is playing a deeper game.
West against China: A new Cold War begins on Libyan soil

The question why the US-led NATO forces are determined to wangle a regime change in Libya is now clear. While Medienpandits and political experts are still discussing whether the Libyan rebel gangs are actually supported by the intelligence agencies of the United States, Britain and Israel, and controlled, long-term political objectives of the West in Libya are completely ignored.
One has only the strategic briefings to U.S. AFRICOM documents
read in order to become aware of the true final in Libya: the control of the valuable raw material reserves and the expulsion of China from North Africa.
When the United States in 2007 formed AFRICOM, 49 countries signed the Charter for Africa, U.S. military, but refused a country: Libya. Such a treacherous act by the Libyan leader Muammar Gadaffi could only sow the seeds for future conflict, as he then at some point became clear in 2011.
NATO: Reduced to nothing more than a private security force
for the Western corporate interests.
According to the officials of the former Reagan Cabinet, Dr. Paul Craig Roberts is the situation with Gadaffi very different from the other recent protests in the Arab world. "Why NATO is there?" Is the real question has become, says Roberts, who fears that risked an American influence stemming from involvement lead to a catastrophic tensile strength in Libya could.
CHINESE INTERESTS IN LIBYA
According to Beijing's trade minister be China's current contracts with Libya as many as 50 major projects, including contracts of over $ 18 billion. What is even more revealing here is even, that have suffered because of the recent instability in North Africa, China's investment in a serious blow. The recent political turmoil in the region have meant that China's new contracts under its project contracts abroad, which amount to USD 3'470'000'000, fell to 53.9%.Among them, dropped the price of the new contracts with Libya, to 45.3%, 13.9% less turnover; to Algeria was the contract sum of 97.1%, turnover decreased by 10.7% - all within the first two months of this year .
WHY WE ARE IN LIBYA: a revealing interview with
Dr. Paul Craig Roberts
In addition to the numerous Chinese investments in Libya, the North African country has completed recently, one of the widest and most modern water plant projects in world history:
Libya great man-made river.
This is over 30 years of extending enterprise Libya is the potential for agricultural and economic boom that would surely mean for the competitive agricultural markets in neighboring countries, Israel and Egypt problems. He could also turn Libya into a newly emerging bread basket for Africa.
With the global rise in food prices and nascent relations with Libya, which has a stable currency and cheap indigenous energy supply, it needs no economic genius to see what could play a role for Libya in the global marketplace.
VALUABLE ASSETS: Libya great man-made river.
AFRICOM: KIND OF PNAC
Founded by U.S. President George Bush Jr. AFRICOM is a division of the larger neo-conservative "Project for a New American Century (PNAC)," (Project for a New American Century).
AFRICOM's main strategic objectives are to stop the growing Chinese influence to address the continent. A study AFRICOM
points out that China could eventually send troops to Africa to defend his interests as:
"Now China has reached a level of economic development which requires an endless supply of raw materials from Africa, and it has begun to develop in most corners of the world to its ability to exert influence. The extrapolation of the story predicts that distrust and uncertainty, the PLA will result in a breathtaking number to Africa ... "
So, here we have a pronounced fear of U.S. military planners before a military confrontation with China - in Africa.Today, it is Libya, but tomorrow it will be in Sudan. Sounds like this is not a bit familiar? Well, it should be ...
THE NEW COLD WAR WITH CHINA
As shown above to Chinese economic data clearly show that the strategic objectives presented in Washington AFRICOM documents, especially those that have been designed to meet China's economic interests in Africa and reduce to a minimum, as a result of instability in the region work very well. "Destabilization" as a tool for control of colonial powers has always worked very well. Artificially induced chaos can it be realized through a strong military presence in the region.
In fact, we are there whose witness, this is the dawn of a new Cold War between the US-European powers and China.This new Cold War will have many of the same elements as the long and protracted struggle between the U.S. and the USSR, which we in the second half of the 20th Century witnessed. This will take place on foreign shores, in places like Africa, South America, Central Asia and through old areas of tension such as Korea and the Middle East.
AFRICOM: Presentation of the new American
military playground.
What will the new Cold War, much deeper and more subtle than the previous one, is that it is not covered by a popular ideology as "capitalism against communism."
This new war is focused on a single theme - natural resource reserves. The conquest and control of remaining resources and the energy supply of the world will be the topic that will rule - and literally all the major conflicts of the 21st Century is going to boost.
He will be a number of deputy and many other remote locations around the world fought, but never will be a press secretary at the White House or the State Department in Downing Street to talk about it.
Early reports from Libya to confirm that the "rebels" are supported by Western intelligence agencies and control.
Rebels and NOT DEMONSTRATORS
The brilliant PR trick-turning in the flow of the NATO bombing raids in Libya, the ability of the West, the violent armed gangs in Libya presented as simple demonstrators. The average American, English or French media put the consumer revolt in Libya, Tunisia and Egypt in the previous same. The reality of course, was that they were anything.
However, the bells of freedom and democracy had sounded effectively, there was that all that was necessary at that point, a clever diplomatic trick "Ć  la weapons of mass destruction" to hide the ranks of the intellectually challenged UN diplomats in New York. "non-flight zone" has been repackaged and worked well enough for the politicians so that her foot got in the door of their war room.
It seems that there have so far works, but as the body bags begin to civilians slowly piling up to
is the next phase - ground troops and a military occupation of Libya from NATO - somehow a bit more difficult to perform without being a persistent serious political fallout. All these complex efforts are needed to cover the long-term programs in the region of Western corporations and the military, and are all part and parcel of this new resource war against China.
THE STORY IS STILL A prostitute
Some few will argue that the average Western consumer mainstream media suffers from a chronic Geschichtsamnesie.Especially for Americans, the relevant history extends only to the last season of "Dancing With the Stars" or "American Idol" returns. Some may argue that this has been established that the masses have been conditioned as a Whole so, in this rich media to modern democracies to remain passive actors, because this facilitates the management of the herd in many ways.
The lessons of Iraq and Afghanistan must now return to the U.S. and the UK to home - both projects are still major issues, for the massive cartels of Western corporations. This has allowed ambitious bureaucrats in Washington, London and Paris to try it again, this time in Libya. In time, however, the Americans and Europeans will have to learn what every citizen and every being many times the whole world have learned throughout history. In theory it might work, but in practice, "occupation" is a paradox. The United States and England may privately make plans, such as Iraq or Libya to occupy for an indefinite period, but the story is not true to these imperial ambitions.
One day all this will end, and evil ends, because the Anglo-American neo-Roman empire, with all his legions abroad, can not cope at home, its fragile domestic transactions. First comes the case of the Senate, then comes the rise of Caesar and finally home to the collapse of the denarius ($). The once great empire will go out with a whimper - too fat and too corrupt to continue.
In earlier days, as citizens of Rome, the size and details of military conquests abroad cared little. All that interested them, were that the glory of Rome was maintained, and bread and circuses at home. Now that the big resource wars of the 21st Century rage on unabated, a question comes to mind: What do the citizens are attentive AggressorlƤnder to change the present course of history?
The ease of judging, with which the West managed to pull off his last robbery on Libya, I would say ... very little until now.


Libya: The Hard-Sell is Coming

Libya: The Hard-Sell is Coming

New York Times op-ed piece by Obama, Sarkozy, and Cameron

Bangkok, Thailand April 15, 2011 - When presidents are writing editorials in newspapers a hard-sell is just around the corner. Judging by the recent tripartite op-ed in the New York Times by Obama, Sarkozy, and Cameron regarding Libya, the hard-sell is most likely a protracted air campaign above Libya with an ever increasing ground presence below possibly leading to an all out invasion. Clearly the operation in Libya will exceed the "days or weeks, but not months" we were told it would take.
Predictably the UNSC r.1973 mandate of "protecting civilians" has "mission crept" into providing air cover for armed militants as they fight towards Tripoli - militants now openly proclaiming their allegiance to Al QaedaThe CIA and MI6 are also admittedly on the ground assisting the rebels and attempting to bring down Qaddafi's regime - violating entirely the contrived UNSC r.1973 that defined the intervention in the first place. Further violations come in the form of US calls to arm the rebels and allowing arms to flow into eastern Libya from Egypt. Hillary Clinton said she believed arming rebel groups was legal under UNSC r.1973. Of course, as Adolf Hitler has reminded us, everything is legal when you are the one writing the laws.

Now we are being told via this tripartite op-ed that it is unacceptable for Qadaffi to remain in power and that the operation cannot end until he is removed. Considering the verified lies surrounding UNSC r.1973's premise and the fact that the resolution has turned out to be protecting and aiding known terrorists, we should be hesitant to accept any expansion upon this disingenuous foundation. We must remember that when asked about reports of Qaddafi brutalizing his people with air strikes, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and Admiral Michael Mullen both responded "We’ve seen no confirmation whatsoever."
Likewise, the International Institute of Strategic Studies conceded during a questioning sessionregarding military options in Libya that stories of mercenaries and the intentional targeting of civilian populations were not only unverified, but highly unlikely given that Qaddafi was well aware such actions would only further invite foreign intervention.

None of these facts seem to have impeded the "legality" of UNSC r.1973 and its ambiguous wording. Such wording has allowed "mission creep" to incrementally circumvent the public's attention span and tip-toe towards full war. With each speech, these lies are reinforced and history literally rewritten to justify a deeper, costlier, and more unpopular intervention looming just over the horizon. More is at stake than merely oil. The globalists have stated amongst the pages of their 
think-tank reports that Libya "is a test that the international community has to pass. Failure would shake further the faith of the people's region in the emerging international order and the primacy of international law."

The primacy of international law indeed, as the United States, in order to intervene in Libya, has
completely circumvented its own national constitutionArticle I, Section 8, Clause 11). regarding laws pertaining to armed intervention and the declaration of war ( By doing so, doubt and confusion over the mission has spread and its legitimacy rightfully called into question. Waning support or even outright opposition may hinder or terminate the operation. Such a failure would reaffirm the wisdom with which the US Constitution was drafted and would embolden nationalism worldwide around similar laws that would have observed the people's will and prevented yet another costly war of aggression.
