NATO-led coalition will tell you they began a military intervention in Libya ousted Gaddafi in the name of freedom.

Free water, almost free gasoline, free health system and free education were commonplace for Libyans.

What more freedom did the Libyans really want?

Having been in power for 41 years, Gaddafi had managed to gain the support of all the major tribes and buy social peace through radical measures and a policy of shared oil revenues.

He eliminate Jihadism, the number one enemy of the West, and Libya itself was a stable country where the risk of being kidnapped or even murdered by an armed militia was non-existent. Although he financed many armed groups in the Sahel

BUT HE HAD A GOAL.

Muammar Gaddafi, the Libyan president, had always promoted himself as one of Africa's great leaders touting a vision of progress and wealth for the entire continent.

The United States of Africa.

He vigorously pushed for the uniting of African nations

#1 On currency.
#2 On military.
#3 On Visa.

Good idea? Yes.

With an excellent management of oil revenues, the Libyan state had managed to store 143 tons of gold and the same amount in silver. All these resources were going to make Libya the most influential country in Africa.

The US Dollar and The Gold Standard

The US dollar was unpegged from the Gold standard in 1933 when the Emergency Banking Act was enforced, forcing all Americans to convert their gold coins, bullion, and certificates into U.S. dollars.

This made the US Dollar a Fiat currency.

Fiat money is a government-issued currency that isn't backed by a commodity such as gold.
#1 This gives central banks greater control over the economy because they can control how much money is printed.
#2 Most modern paper currencies, such as the U.S. dollar, are fiat currencies

#3 One danger of fiat money is that governments will print too much of it, resulting in hyperinflation.

But the Emergency Banking act 1933, it did not change the conviction of gold bugs, people who are forever confident in gold's stability as a source of wealth, well until 1971

As WWII was coming to an end, the Western powers met to develop the Bretton Woods Agreement, which would be the framework for the global currency markets until 1971.
(Gold had been dropped in 1933).

With this, all national currencies were valued in relation to the U.S. dollar

Thus the US Dollar became the dominant reserve currency. The dollar, in turn, was convertible to gold at the fixed rate of $35 per ounce.

The global financial system continued to operate upon a gold standard, albeit in a more indirect manner.

This is why your Central Bank has to have US Dollar reserves as it the backing of every world currency.

But what does this have to do with Gaddafi's Death you ask? I'll tell you.

In Gaddafi's big vision - The African Dreaam.

The United States of Africa https://twitter.com/oaksupreme_/status/1307984609628614657?s=20

Pegging your currency on the US Dollar means everything they do with their economy affects you. They print more, Kenya hurts. The go to war, another country hurts.

"One danger of fiat money is that governments will print too much of it, resulting in hyperinflation."

Gaddafi would later start to accumulate gold make the world - Africa - sane again by taking us back to the Gold Standard.

A ground breaking initiative started; https://twitter.com/oaksupreme_/status/1307984609628614657?s=20

In 2009, Colonel Gaddafi, then President of the AU, suggested to the States of the African continent to switch to a new currency, independent of the American dollar: The Gold Dinar, whose objective of this new currency was to divert oil revenues towards state-controlled funds

.... rather than American banks. In other words, to stop using the dollar for oil transactions.

Countries such as Nigeria, Tunisia, Egypt and Angola were ready to change their currencies.

This would avoid American influence in oil transactions by using this gold.

He launched the gold dinar project, and other major African governments were ready to support him in this project. It was both an African dream and a nightmare for the West’s financial system.

This information was discovered through Hillary Clinton’s electronic mailbox. One of the 3000 emails showed NATO’s willingness to overthrow Gaddafi’s government. NATO mainly wanted to neutralize the African gold currency supported by Libyan oil reserves.

However, with Western intervention, the dream of a unified monetary system based on gold and independent of the dollar perished…

The only way to be free is to move from the US Dollar Standard for Africans and the rest of the Developing world.

We have oil, gold, silver and diamond. That's stable enough for a currency backing.
