Washington, D.C. – In spite of French-led U.N. Security Council Resolution 1973 creating a no-fly zone over Libya with the express intent of protecting civilians, one of the over 3,000 new Hillary Clinton emails released by the State Department on New Year’s Eve, contain damning evidence of Western nations using NATO as a tool to topple Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi. The NATO overthrow was not for the protection of the people, but instead it was to thwart Gaddafi’s attempt to create a gold-backed African currency to compete with the Western central banking monopoly.
The emails indicate the French-led NATO military initiative in Libya was also driven by a desire to gain access to a greater share of Libyan oil production, and to undermine a long term plan by Gaddafi to supplant France as the dominant power in the Francophone Africa region.
The April 2011 email, sent to the Secretary of State Hillary by unofficial adviser and longtime Clinton confidante Sidney Blumenthal with the subject line “France’s client and Qaddafi’s gold,” reveals predatory Western intentions.
The Foreign Policy Journal reports:
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.
The email makes clear that intelligence sources indicate the impetus behind the French attack on Libya was a calculated move to consolidate greater power, using NATO as a tool for imperialist conquest, not a humanitarian intervention as the public was falsely led to believe.
According to the email:
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).
(Source Comment: 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.)
The email provides a peek behind the curtain to reveal how foreign policy is often carried out in practice. While reported in the media that the Western backed Libyan military intervention is necessary to save human lives, the real driving factor behind the intervention was shown to be the fact that Gaddafi planned to create a high degree of economic independence with a new pan-African currency, which would lessen French influence and power in the region.
The evidence indicates that when French intelligence became aware of the Libyan initiative to create a currency to compete with the Western central banking system, the decision to subvert the plan through military means began, ultimately including the NATO alliance.

“According to knowledgeable individuals this quantity of gold and silver is valued at more than $7 billion.”
Notice how as “little” as $7 billion in gold is considered a major threat to the world fiat currencies? We’re talking about an infinitesimal fraction of 1% of the digits floating around out there….
This shows that even one (real) silver dollar, because it is real money, blows away all currency until you get past the worth of more than a ton of FRNs or other currency in the form of pulp paper as a commodity (even paper pulp has value, but think of how many tens or hundreds of millions it would take to get a ton of pulp). It also is truly worth more than ALL the digits that are referred to as “money”. All the trillions of de facto digits are vacated in reality by one de jure silver dollar. Who’s kingdom is built out of thin air? All true wealth (aside from spiritual riches) comes from the land.
…only takes a spark
Just another rape and pillage of a country.
Go against the reserve currency and they’ll kill you.
Now the marauding bandits are fighting over the spoils.
I can only imagine the people there are living in a Mad Max world everyday.
“… it was to thwart Gaddafi’s attempt to create a gold-backed African currency to compete with the Western central banking monopoly.”
That’s always been my belief.
Lincoln (greenbacks) and JFK (silver certificates).
The first thing jews will kill for is their control over mammon.
There was also $600 million or so in dollars, as well as the gold, that went missing from a big Libiyan bank. They disposed of him to get what was in that bank.
