What Goes Around REALLY Goes around

The hype this week has been about America and it's 'victory' over Osama Bin Laden and Al qaeda with comparisons being made to the capture of Saddam Hussein and his subsequent execution. I began to wonder if people even remembered why it was the Coalition invaded Iraq in the first place?

Some people reading this may be sat thinking 'because of 9/11' or the so called the links between Iraq and Al qaeda. Others may be sat thinking 'the weapons of mass destruction' and the lies that flowed out of Tony Blair's mouth. Some however may be sat thinking 'because Saddam started trading for oil in Euros back in 2000 instead of the Dollar'.

It is true that Saddam Hussein changed from the Dollar to the Euro back in 2000, after which sanctions were imposed and a subsequent invasion. One of the first things that changed after the Coalitions occupation of Iraq was the trading of oil back to Dollars. This was a 'must do' for the then President George W. Bush because there were fears that OPEC would start to trade in Euros also and America cannot print Euros. This would have had a catastrophic consequence for the American Economy that relies heavily on the trade of oil in Dollars.
America has the monopoly of power when it comes to oil, they forged a relationship with Saudi Arabia decades ago and as it stands, the Dollar is the world reserve currency...but it is on it's knees currently.  It has not gone unnoticed that since Iran planned to do the same (in trading their oil in Euros) they have too popped up on America's radar.

Two years ago in 2009 a certain Colonel Gaddafi made a speech rallying North African leaders and other Arab states to start trading their oil in gold effectively setting up a gold standard which had gathered a lot of interest from the people addressed.  It is estimated that Libya has 140 tonnes of Gold.  The UK has twice as much as this but has 10 times the population.
Fast forward to 2011 and the Coalition is again at war with another oil rich country (Libya) citing the need to assist fellow humans on their treatment by a dictator. A dictator that the UK Government has been quite happy to deal with over the years up to and including the current PM David Cameron.  The same David Cameron who flogged a load of munitions to Libya only last year, as I wrote about in March this year, in 'UK Arms Deal, Float that Economy People'.
Of course nothing has been done about Robert Mugabe and the treatment of his people in Zimbabwe, nor is there anything being done or said about Syria and Liberia is but a whisper in the wind. How much the 'free' world cares about your human rights depends entirely on how much oil you have beneath your feet.

To clarify I am not in favour of people like Saddam Hussein nor Colonel Gaddafi, but then I am not the one sending out other people's sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, husband, wives, mothers or fathers out to foreign lands to 'liberate' people, where the only benefit is to the energy companies that go in after and plunder the countries resources, making billions for themselves in the process.
Libya also has the largest man made reservoir on Earth. Gaddafi instigated a program to tap into 40,000 yr old water under the desert to get it to where his people needed it most to grow crops and give access to fresh clean drinking water. There are fears that this war being waged is a serious drain on this resource and when it's gone, it's gone. Water of course I have spoken about for many years now as the cause for the next major war once we have bled the world dry of oil.

Mainstream media does not cover stories like this. It upsets the equilibrium that they have fought for so long to control. With 'distraction tv' and the newspapers being owned by only a handful of corporations, the chances of finding out what is really going on rests with the individual. To it's credit 'Russia Today' on SKY 512 has good coverage of all news stories from a different perspective.

I am sure Gaddafi was not surprised by the Coalition Campaign against him, particularly after the events in Iraq and the movie Rango. The question is, when will people wake up and start to question the lies that are being fed to them? Or maybe I should remember 'war is good for business'....
