The war in Libya is ILLEGAL.
The media is brainwashing people that Gadaffi is a monster , and for you who believe so - start to study the subject.

Wow That Was Fast! Libyan Rebels Have Already Established A New Central Bank Of Libya
The rebels in Libya are in the middle of a life or death civil war and Moammar Gadhafi is still in power and yet somehow the Libyan rebels have had enough time to establish a new Central Bank of Libya and form a new national oil company. Perhaps when this conflict is over those rebels can become time management consultants. They sure do get a lot done. What a skilled bunch of rebels - they can fight a war during the day and draw up a new central bank and a new national oil company at night without any outside help whatsoever. If only the rest of us were so versatile! But isn't forming a central bank something that could be done after the civil war is over? According to Bloomberg, the Transitional National Council has "designated the Central Bank of Benghazi as a monetary authority competent in monetary policies in Libya and the appointment of a governor to the Central Bank of Libya, with a temporary headquarters in Benghazi." Apparently someone felt that it was very important to get pesky matters such as control of the banks and control of the money supply out of the way even before a new government is formed.
Of course it is probably safe to assume that the new Central Bank of Libya will be 100% owned and 100% controlled by the newly liberated people of Libya, isn't it?
Most people don't realize that the previous Central Bank of Libya was 100% state owned. The following is an excerpt from Wikipedia's article on the former Central Bank of Libya....
The Central Bank of Libya (CBL) is 100% state owned and represents the monetary authority in The Great Socialist People’s Libyan Arab Jamahiriya and enjoys the status of autonomous corporate body. The law establishing the CBL stipulates that the objectives of the central bank shall be to maintain monetary stability in Libya , and to promote the sustained growth of the economy in accordance with the general economic policy of the state.
Since the old Central Bank of Libya was state owned, it was essentially under the control of Moammar Gadhafi.
But now that Libya is going to be "free", the new Central Bank of Libya will be run by Libyans and solely for the benefit of Libyans, right?
Of course it is probably safe to assume that will be the case with the new national oil company as well, isn't it?
Over the past couple of years, Moammar Gadhafi had threatened to nationalize the oil industry in Libya and kick western oil companies out of the country, but now that Libya will be "free" the people of Libya will be able to work hand in hand with "big oil" and this will create a better Libya for everyone.
Right?
Of course oil had absolutely nothing to do with why the U.S. "inva---" (scratch that) "initiated a kinetic humanitarian liberty action" in Libya.
When Barack Obama looked straight into the camera and told the American people that the war in Libya is in the "strategic interest" of the United States, surely he was not referring to oil.
After all, war for oil was a "Bush thing", right? The Democrats voted for Obama to end wars like this, right? Surely no prominent Democrats will publicly support this war in Libya, right?
Surely Barack Obama will end the bombing of Libya if the international community begins to object, right?
Obama won a Nobel Peace Prize. He wouldn't deeply upset the other major powers on the globe and bring us closer to World War III, would he?
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has loudly denounced "coalition strikes on columns of Gaddafi's forces" and he believes that the U.S. has badly violated the terms of the UN Security Council resolution....
"We consider that intervention by the coalition in what is essentially an internal civil war is not sanctioned by the U.N. Security Council resolution."
So to cool off rising tensions with the rest of the world, Obama is going to call off the air strikes, right?
Well, considering the fact that Obama has such vast foreign policy experience we should all be able to rest easy knowing that Obama will understand exactly what to do.
Meanwhile, the rebels seem to be getting the hang of international trade already.
They have even signed an oil deal with Qatar!
Rebel "spokesman" Ali Tarhouni has announced that oil exports to Qatar will begin in "less than a week".
Who knew that the rag tag group of rebels in Libya were also masters of banking and international trade?
We sure do live in a strange world.
Tonight, Barack Obama told the American people the following....
"Some nations may be able to turn a blind eye to atrocities in other countries. The United States of America is different."
So now we are going to police all of the atrocities in all of the other countries around the globe?
The last time I checked, the government was gunning down protesters in Syria.
Is it time to start warming up the Tomahawks?
Or do we reserve "humanitarian interventions" only for those nations that have a lot of oil?
In fact, atrocities are currently being committed all over Africa and in about a dozen different nations in the Middle East.
Should we institute a draft so that we will have enough young men and women to police the world with?
We all have to be ready to serve our country, right?
The world is becoming a smaller place every day, and you never know where U.S. "strategic interests" are going to be threatened next.
The rest of the world understands that we know best, right?
Of course the rest of the world can surely see our good intentions in Libya, can't they?
Tensions with Russia, China and the rest of the Arab world are certainly going to subside after they all see how selfless our "humanitarian intervention" has been in Libya, don't you think?
In all seriousness, we now live in a world where nothing is stable anymore. Wars and revolutions are breaking out all over the globe, unprecedented natural disasters are happening with alarming frequency and the global economy is on the verge of total collapse.
By interfering in Libya, we are just making things worse. Gadhafi is certainly a horrible dictator, but this was a fight for the Libyan people to sort out.
We promised the rest of the world that we were only going to be setting up a "no fly zone". By violating the terms of the UN Security Council resolution, we have shown other nations that we cannot be trusted and by our actions we have increased tensions all over the globe.
So what do all of you think about what is going on in Libya? Please feel free to leave a comment with your opinion below....

Karen , glad to see a lightwarrior at this forum - thank you.
Happykelly , I agree with you that this masculine world is shit , but this will not last much longer.
It must be a balance between the masculine and feminime to create a higher developed civilization.
About Libya , it is said that WWIII will be between the VERY agressive zionists and Islam , and it is clear that this is ongoing right now behind the manipulated zionist owned media.
Gaia has started to move now , and this will cause the needed changes to start from zero again.
Oh I'm not angry just frustrated, Karen. I understand what you are saying and I agree to a point but this is just a waste of time going back and forth with people justifying my beliefs. I have a scholarly love of theosophy and I frankly don't care about organizations or Lucis Trust... I am all about the information itself and if you studied it further then you would see to what I refer. And I very clearly think for myself.
You can think whatever you like, I won't be pinned into one belief or value and I am sure you won't either. I respect your rights to your own ideas but why can you not see that I deserve that right too?
And PS Drekx is a separate person from me and does not talk to me about such things as blogs and deletions. He has his own agendas, as do we all.
Sigh.... Karen. Again, with Lucis Trust? Please read my NUMEROUS blogs about theosophy, sacred feminine and buddhism before preaching to me.
Let me state that NOTHING will work until the Kali Yuga ends because nothing is in balance. Hence the organizing structures of the masculine matrix will not be in power much longer. This stuff is based on the antique notions that men are better than women... I see a balanced society in my future.
Women did not create war. We all know that. Until we take our rightful places and the sacred feminine is acknowledged everything that men touch will turn to dust.
I never said Theosophy didn't need a woman's touch. Well, here I AM. :)
Yes, I agree that war is terrible which is why I am for the women and children. Let them bring forth a leader. I'm not kidding, its what those male dominated countries need.
The UN is a joke, I know the system is doomed to failure but it is irksome nonetheless.
