Why are the Global Corporate Oligarchs & the US Government ... really .... so opposed to Gaddafi?

David Rothscum said ...
He is the main threat to US hegemony in Africa, because he attempts to unite the continent against the United States. This concept is called the United States of Africa.

In fact, Gaddafi holds all sorts of ideas that are contrary to US interests. The man blames the United States government for the creation of HIV.  He claims that Israel is behind the assasination of Martin Luther King and president John. F. Kennedy.

He says that the 9/11 hijackers were trained in the US. He also urged Libyans to donate blood to Americans after 9/11.

Gaddafi is also the last of a generation of moderate socialist pan-Arab revolutionaries that is still in power, after Nasser and Hussein have been eliminated, and Syria has aligned itself with Iran.

The United States and Israel however have no interest in a strong Arab world. In fact it seems that elementary to the plan is bringing Libya to its knees through chaos and anarchy.

Lazy people talk about socialism cos they want to stay idle for others to work for them. Black people need to move away from the evil of socialism. Gadhaffi is an islamic radical who is not an Arab but a Berber. A native African who is not negroid. He does not hate black people but he does fight for the interest of the Arab Islamic religion that killed millions of black Africans through Usman Dan Fodio and Musa. He has ruled Libya for about 40 yrs leading Libya to no where. Africa needs change. Africans need to develop scientifically and otherwise. They should stop brainwashing Africans with one religion or the other. Religion has failed.

Rothscum—that’s an interesting avatar. Sounds like something out of the lexicon of your buddy Wax. I’m not into attacking the messenger, but DV did you check out Rothscum’s website: “Truthers are NOT homophobes! Pro-LGBT Truthers, speak out by flying the flag on your blog/website/whatever! Henry Makow and co do NOT represent us!”

As regards the post, there’s no better example of Martin King’s statement: “In international conflicts the truth is hard to come by, because most nations are deceived about themselves,” than the crisis in Libya. This conflict is clearly far more complicated than the uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt. As Dr. Castro Ruz pointed out: “In contrast with what is happening in Egypt and Tunisia, Libya occupies the first spot on the Human Development Index for Africa and it has the highest life expectancy on the continent. Education and health receive special attention from the State. The cultural level of its population is without a doubt the highest. Its problems are of a different sort. The population wasn’t lacking food and essential social services. The country needed an abundant foreign labor force to carry out ambitious plans for production and social development. For that reason, it provided jobs for hundreds of thousands of workers from Egypt, Tunisia, China and other countries. It had enormous incomes and reserves in convertible currencies deposited in the banks of the wealthy countries from which they acquired consumer goods and even sophisticated weapons that were supplied exactly by the same countries that today want to invade it in the name of human rights.”
Any attempt to understand what’s happening in Libya begins with delving deep into the history of the three distinct regions: Tripolitania, Cyrenaica and Fezzan which were merged into one nation after independence. It’s no accident that the rebellion against Muammar al-Qaddafi started in Cyrenaica and one has to wonder if the current “civil war” will lead to balkanization.

The central points being made by Rothscum just don’t hold water. There’s nothing the global oligarchs hate worse than chaos in a stable country where they are making profits, and since 2004 they’ve benefited enormously from the both the political and economic strategies of “Brother Leader.”

[Some of the biggest oil producers and servicers, including BP, ExxonMobil, Halliburton, Chevron, Conoco and Marathon Oil joined with defense giants like Raytheon and Northrop Grumman, multinationals like Dow Chemical and Fluor and the high-powered law firm White & Case to form the US-Libya Business Association in 2005. The members of its executive advisory council each pay $20,000 in annual dues to the group, which is managed by the National Foreign Trade Council, a coalition that seeks to facilitate international opportunities for U.S. companies. Most of the group's members have lobbied the U.S. government since 2004 to protect their investments in Libya or to iron out business problems with the regime. Bilateral trade with Libya totaled $2.7 billion in 2010, compared to practically nothing in 2003 when sanctions were still in force.]-- Marcus Baram

The fluid situation in Libya is far more complicated than the conspiratorial and simplistic explanations being put forth by Rothscum.

DV, something strange is going on here. I've tried to post some comments on this thread several times. They show that they are posted, then they disappear.

For some reason the part of my comments with a quote from an article Dr. Fidel Castro Ruz published over at Global Research will not post to this thread. I separated out the other comments to get them posted. Weird!

"Id take a Jew over an Arab any day"

Are Arabs less God's children than Jews? Are you speaking of ethnic Jews or people who actually practice Judaism? Would you take a secular Khazarian convert to Judaism over an Arab born Mulsim?
