Hillary’s
emails truly are the gifts that keep on giving. While France led the proponents
of the UN Security Council Resolution that would create a no-fly zone in Libya,
it claimed that its primary concern was the protection of Libyan civilians
(considering the current state of affairs alone, one must rethink the
authenticity of this concern).
As
many “conspiracy theorists” will claim, one of the real reasons to go to Libya
was Gaddafi’s planned gold dinar.
One
of the 3,000 Hillary Clinton emails released by the State Department on New
Year’s Eve (where real news is sent to die quietly) has revealed evidence that
NATO’s plot to overthrow Gaddafi was fueled by first their desire to quash the
gold-backed African currency, and second the Libyan oil reserves.
The
email in question was sent to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton by her
unofficial adviser Sydney Blumenthal titled “France’s client and Qaddafi’s
gold”.
From Foreign Policy Journal:
“ The email identifies French President Nicholas Sarkozy
as leading the attack on Libya with five specific purposes in mind: to obtain
Libyan oil, ensure French influence in the region, increase Sarkozy’s
reputation domestically, assert French military power, and to prevent Gaddafi’s
influence in what is considered “Francophone Africa.”
Most
astounding is the lengthy section delineating the huge threat that Gaddafi’s
gold and silver reserves, estimated at “143 tons of gold, and a similar amount
in silver,” posed to the French franc (CFA) circulating as a prime African
currency.
And
here is the section of the email proving that NATO had ulterior motives for destroying
Libya (UPDATE: The link has since been killed, but here is the web cache):
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).
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 internal 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
Ergo
as soon as French intel discovered Gaddafi’s dinar plans, they decided to
spearhead the campaign against him- having accumulated enough good reasons to
take over.
Sadly,
Gaddafi had earlier warned Europe (in a “prophetic” phone conversations with
Blair) that his fall would prompt the rise of Islamic extremism in the West. A
warning that would go unheeded; what’s a few lives in France and Libya, if the
larger goal lines the pockets of politicians and the elite so much better after
all?
