Libyan Rebels Form Their Own Central Bank

Libyan rebels in Benghazi say they have formed their own central bank.

The rebel group known as the Transitional National Council released a statement last week announcing that they have designated the Central Bank of Benghazi as a monetary authority competent in monetary policies in Libya, and that they have appointed a governor to the Central Bank of Libya, with a temporary headquarters in Benghazi, according to Bloomberg.

I guess this is why we invaded. Is it me or is every country that we have invaded was lacking a central bank?

This printing money out of thin air has to be the best scam in the world!

Oil and central banking is destroying this world and when people come with alternative energy, when States decided to coin their own money backed by something of substance the .gov is all over them to stop them...

What is this world coming to?

Proof that TPTB wanted Qaddafi gone. They have set their nation on the path to ruin and enslavement. As much as I detest Qaddafi, I have to wonder if Libya was better off under him than they will be with the government the "rebels" will set up?

Great story. I think you are putting the pieces of the puzzle together.

Did Egypt or Tunisia set up a new central bank (or were they already under the Rothschild thumb)?

Regardless, you have done a fine job of peeking behind the curtain and glimpsing the workings of the wizard. Flag for you.

A piece I just wrote on the NATO/Rebel alliance and how Al Qaeda is once again being trotted out to justify a long term presence, so the West can milk this cow for all its worth:

It would seem that NATO is gearing up for the long haul. Of course, I am a poor fortune teller. But there seems to be a rush of NATO forces, and a rush to claim “Al Qaeda”.

In Egypt and Tunisia, you had rebellion that was not only successful, but it was led entirely by a grassroots, “People” level. The US was told to not even bother getting involved, that this was THEIR moment. To be honest, it made me proud for humanity. After seeing what looked like a complete surrendering of morale by the Iraqi’s, I had begun to question just how feisty the spirit of the Muslim people was.

But in Libya you had neither element. The rebels were being clobbered and cried out for help from NATO. In so doing, a deal with the devil was made. It is well known how the US (and other western forces) tend towards economic imperialism. Sure they will involve themselves in helping with your humanitarian crisis. But ask the Afghani’s or Iraqi’s how that has worked out for them. Or even worse, ask the Somalians and elder Afghani’s (that were there when we abandoned them in the late 80′s).

Smedley Butler elucidates this quite well, even though his words come from so far in the past:

WAR is a racket. It always has been.

It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.

A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small “inside” group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes.

In the World War [I] a mere handful garnered the profits of the conflict. At least 21,000 new millionaires and billionaires were made in the United States during the World War. That many admitted their huge blood gains in their income tax returns. How many other war millionaires falsified their tax returns no one knows.

How many of these war millionaires shouldered a rifle? How many of them dug a trench? How many of them knew what it meant to go hungry in a rat-infested dug-out? How many of them spent sleepless, frightened nights, ducking shells and shrapnel and machine gun bullets? How many of them parried a bayonet thrust of an enemy? How many of them were wounded or killed in battle?

Out of war nations acquire additional territory, if they are victorious. They just take it. This newly acquired territory promptly is exploited by the few — the selfsame few who wrung dollars out of blood in the war. The general public shoulders the bill.

And what is this bill?

This bill renders a horrible accounting. Newly placed gravestones. Mangled bodies. Shattered minds. Broken hearts and homes. Economic instability. Depression and all its attendant miseries. Back-breaking taxation for generations and generations.

For a great many years, as a soldier, I had a suspicion that war was a racket; not until I retired to civil life did I fully realize it. Now that I see the international war clouds gathering, as they are today, I must face it and speak out.

Butler called himself the thug for the biggest racket on Earth. The only thing that really changes is the players.

Perhaps this will serve as a reminder to the Muslim people why they distrusted us in the first place. The leaders they wish to oust rule with US blessing. Accepting our help will only drive their debt deeper, and give rise to a new US puppet leader.

These rebels are sure something, very well equipped and well funded with what appears to be a great deal of organization, the ability to make deals involving oil sales and the power to form their own central bank.

All I can say is WOW!

In a very small amount of time these rebels have over powered an entire nations police and military forces, if these rebels are not already on the US payroll (wink,wink) we should hire them to get us out of Afghanistan and Iraq,

The dust has not even settled and already the oil and money is flowing again. I was leaning towards the economy as one of the main reasons for invasion. Next the debt is going to be coming along soon as the free health care and education for the citizens starts to crumble. It has been a very sad chain of events.

So I think big banking had trouble getting into Libya, but now it's a free-for-all for them, and for western oil industries.

Yup seems to be like magic, like pulling a rabbit out of the hat. And I'm sure when they get freed then they will get to work for some multinational corp for peanuts, and bask in the freedomness there enjoying, with all the new rules in place that will funnel there wealth to the top of the pyramid's. And on the war machine shall go, to free more countries and so forth, spreading democracy and freedom all across the globe. But really the only question will be how much different will it be then when they were under Qaddafi. And while were asking that. How is it really, under Qaddafi now?

F the Libyans, F this war and F all the political BS that goes with it. This agenda, this war, this nonsense is utterly nonsense. Last throws of a desperate regime that will be impeached soon as America itself in on the verge of civil protest.

You can't impeach people with tanks and F-22's. Seriously. It would drag on for years before we realized that whoever ended up in office would be nothing but another incarnation of his predecessor. Then rebellion happens. The people are, at first, confronted as problems occur. If problems persist, governmental aggression will get stronger. If a full on rebellion broke out, The People would be murdered "en masse". That humanitarian crisis that we had to help put out in Libya? It would look amateurish.

The rest of us would then be enslaved. Our act of rebellion would bring about sweeping changes in governmental concept. 1776 will die 1984 will take steroids and take on a whole new menacing look, with modern digital capabilities.

What is happening in Libya....it isn't really a rebellion anymore. Now it is a business collusion between various mob bosses. The Central Bank has been established. This is the "protection scheme" that is run so that the cow keeps giving milk. Soon, all the "capitano's" will swoop in and start turning it into a Western Corporate Whorehouse. Full on, with coke and stripper poles in each room, like the Saudi's do it, only metaphorically.

The new government will eventually be recognized by the UN. This is like being "made". They become part of the club, and kick up the weekly cut to the bosses. And if they don't, we will replace them. By then, our intelligence apparatus will have made their people just as stupid and apathetic as us.

What I hope DOESN'T happen is that they start pushing this "Al Qaeda" meme and make it into another Iraq. The Corporate Whorehouse is not too bad, until the Military Industrial Complex family shows up. They are like the Sicilian Mafia. Screw it all up with some misconstrued bloodbath.
