Op de dag van de Dodenherdenking kreeg ik een artikel van Anti-Media, over de gevolgen van de in feite illegale VS oorlog tegen Libië (de VS had ook daar de NAVO aan de hand). Het eens meest welvarende land van Afrika is gedompeld in chaos. De illegale wapenhandel draait als een tierelier en er zijn zelfs openlijk slavenmarkten…… Martelingen en executies zijn aan de orde van de dag…. Alles mede dankzij de inzet van Nederlandse F16’s……… Die weliswaar niet mochten bombarderen, maar die wel doelen konden aanwijzen, de hypocrisie druipt eraf………

Sinds de dood van Khadaffi zijn grote voorraden wapens van leger en politie verdwenen, wapens die ‘toevallig’ worden teruggevonden in o.a. Syrië en Irak……. Overigens heeft de VS, samen met Egypte een groot aantal ‘gematigde rebellen’ (lees: psychopathische moordenaars) plus wapens overgebracht van Libië naar Syrië, om daar de strijd aan te gaan met het reguliere Syrische leger (de eerste aanzet tot omverwerping van Assads bewind door de VS, dateert al van 2006…..)…….

Vluchtelingen die via Libië naar Europa willen vluchten en die ‘de boot niet halen’, worden of tot (seks-) slaaf gemaakt, dan wel worden ze vastgehouden voor losgeld, waarna deze mensen worden gedood als het losgeld niet wordt betaald, althans als ze de gevangenis overleven……

Dat in het land waar man en vrouw gelijk waren gesteld voor de wet, het land waar huisvesting, scholing, gezondheidszorg, gas, water en elektra praktisch gratis waren…… Het land waar zowel jongens als meiden in het buitenland konden studeren, waar de staat niet alleen de studie betaalde, maar ook de kosten voor huisvesting en voeding…….

Nu is uitval van elektriciteit aan de orde van de dag (meermaals) in Libië, kosten voor de meest basale zaken zijn torenhoog en de verschillende ‘gematigde rebellen’ voeren een waar schrikbewind…….. Wie nu in Libië durft te zeggen, dat mannen en vrouwen gelijk zijn, loopt grote kans te worden vermoord…..

In het volgende artikel ook aandacht voor het feit, dat de beestachtig vermoorde ex-president Khadaffi de dollar, die als basis dient voor de oliehandel, wilde vervangen door de gouden dinar. Deze munt wilde Khadaffi ook doorvoeren als betaalmiddel voor heel Afrika, daartoe had hij al enorme hoeveelheden goud gekocht….. Dit goud is na de dood van Khadaffi geroofd en zou zich nu deels in Europa bevinden…….

Als er één ‘land’ was dat baat het bij de dood van Khadaffi was het (alweer) terreurentiteit VS……

Slavery, ISIS & Illegal Arms Trade: Libya Plunged Into Failed
State After US Invasion

Sex Slavery, ISIS & Illegal Arms Trade: Libya Plunged Into Failed State After US Invasion

(MPN) Today’s
Libya is virtually unrecognizable from the Libya of years past.
Following the violent ouster of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi
in 2011, things have taken a turn for the worse as the north African
nation declines further into failure.

One
example of Libya’s steep decline has been the proliferation of the
illegal arms trade. In 2014, the United Nations named Libya as the
primary source of illegal weapons for
14 different countries, fueling a series of international conflicts.
More recently, a new
report released by
the Geneva-based Small Arms Survey has also labeled Libya as an
international hotspot for illicit weapon sales, examining thousands
of attempted trades.

The
Gaddafi regime, prior to losing power, had tightly regulated the
domestic arms trade and prevented the illegal sale of weapons. But
now, Libya is unable to secure its borders. The weapons market has
surged in the years since the 2011 invasion that resulted in
Gaddafi’s ouster, as the Libyan government’s weapon stores were
looted and quickly fell into the hands of terrorists.

In
addition to appearing on online arms markets, weapons from the
Gaddafi regime’s arsenal have been found throughout North Africa
and the Middle East, particularly in the
hands of Daesh (ISIS) militants who
are active in Syria and Iraq. Many of these weapons were
purchased by the U.S. government and
deliberately given to “moderate rebels” in Syria, which – at
the time – included the al-Nusra Front, a branch of al-Qaeda that
operates in Syria.

In
addition, Libya’s geographical location has led to the growth of
another illicit industry – sex slavery.

With
many West African migrants traveling through Libya as they seek
passage to Europe, sex slavery has become so commonplace that live
slave auctions now occur in plain view of the public, according
to a recent statement from
the International Organization for Migration. Those not sold into
slavery are sometimes thrown in private prisons, where they are held
until their families make a ransom payment. Those whose families are
unable to pay are taken away and killed, while others have reportedly
wasted away from a lack of food and other basic necessities.

Libya
still lacks a federal government, which has led to the rise of
several warring factions, many of them based on tribal affiliations.
Some of the more powerful factions include infamous terrorist groups
like Daesh, who, according to U.S. intelligence agencies cited
by the New York Times,
maintain a presence of some 5,000 fighters in the troubled nation.

Worse
still, while U.S. bombings and some armed Libyan factions have
reduced Daesh’s power, they have also torn
apart the country’s social fabric and
set the stage for all-out civil war. In addition, the
Italian government recently asserted that
Daesh militants are leaving Libya for Europe, posing as wounded
Libyan government soldiers.

Libya
has also been crippled by constant power blackouts and surging prices
for food and other necessities, as well as months of lost salaries
for many people who have been put out of work. The situation has
deteriorated so much that numerous civilians, many of whom once
detested Gaddafi and even fought against his regime in 2011, are
lamenting the loss of the nation’s longtime ruler. Tebu Mohammed, a
Libyan citizen living in Tripoli, expressed the views of many Libyans
when he told
the Daily Mail that
“Libya died with Gaddafi. We are not a nation anymore.”

Gaddafi’s
Libya: prosperous and independent

The
current situation in Libya stands in sharp contrast to what things
were like under Gaddafi’s rule. Despite his 42-year-long despotic
rule, along with his
reputation as
a “crazy leader,” Libya was once Africa’s most economically
successful nation and enjoyed the continent’s highest standard of
living, thanks to handsome oil reserves that helped to fill the
state’s coffers.

Gaddafi
used state money to offer a variety
of popular services including
free electricity, interest-free loans, grants to newlyweds, legal
rights to housing, maternity bonuses for new mothers, free education,
50-percent subsidies on new car purchases and free healthcare. The
country’s literacy rate also rose from 25 to 87 percent during his
time as its leader. In addition, Gaddafi nationalized Libya’s
central bank and kept Libya free of external debt.

However,
Gaddafi committed a cardinal sin in the lead-up to his assassination
– not against the Libyan people, but against the hegemony of the
U.S. dollar. In the early 2000s, Gaddafi had saved up a large amount
of gold and planned to introduce a gold-backed pan-African
currency based
on the Libyan dinar in order to restore economic strength to a
continent besieged by neocolonialism. He had planned to start selling
Libyan oil using the dinar before the 2011 invasion, a move that
would have challenged the petrodollar system – an agreement
negotiated in the 1970s where OPEC nations sell their oil in dollars
in order to create artificial demand for the currency.

Recently
declassified emails from
then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton provided concrete proof that
the dinar was a major determining factor in the invasion of Libya.
Considering this, it should come as no surprise that the Libyan oil
industry, as well as the country’s central bank, were privatized
following Gaddafi’s death.

Libya
is not the only nation to have been decimated by the U.S. for
undermining the dollar’s hegemony. In 2000, former Iraqi President
Saddam Hussein rejected the petrodollar system and began
selling Iraq’s
oil in euros. Despite economic sanctions from the U.S. and its
allies, Iraq had made
millions of dollars as
a result of the switch at the time of the 2003 U.S. invasion.

The
U.S. made an example of Iraq to show what happens when a country
subverts the U.S.’ economic hegemony, doing the same to Libya just
8 years later. With terrorism, slavery and a proliferating illegal
arms trade, Libya’s current condition is showing the world what the
consequences can be when the U.S.’ superpower status is challenged.
