The Disaster Capitalists never let an opportunity to make cash slide by.
They Piggy-Backed on the legitimate populist uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia
to enter an ongoing Civil War in Libya (with all the propaganda trimmings, of course),
and "took out" Gaddafi to open up the riches of North Africa to Western exploitation.


” For all his dictatorial megalomania, Gaddafi is a committed pan-African - a fierce defender of African unity. Libya was not in debt to international bankers. It did not borrow cash from the International Monetary Fund for any "structural adjustment". It used oil money for social services - including the Great Man Made River project, and investment/aid to sub-Saharan countries. Its independent central bank was not manipulated by the Western financial system. All in all a very bad example for the developing world.”
