Money power rules Libya. Legitimate representatives serving everyone equitably are excluded.

At issue is plundering the country for profit. Military bases are planned.

In March 2011, Press TV headlined "US, France, Britain set up bases in Libya," saying:

They "dispatched hundreds of military advisors to Libya to set up military bases in the country's oil-rich east...."

Libyan diplomats were quoted saying Benghazi and Tobruk bases are planned. Insurgents controlled both cities. In late February, US and UK special forces entered both cities.

Key is plundering Libya's oil, gas, water, uranium, iron ore, and other resources. Scattered deposits of gypsum, limestone, cement rock, salt, sodium carbonate (trona) building stone, phosphate rock, manganese, barit-celestite, sulfur and alum exist.

Also at issue is controlling the entire Mediterranean Basin, privatizing state industries, exploiting Libyan workers, and balkanizing the country like Yugoslavia.

Middle East analyst Mahdi Darius Mazemroaya says NATO wants Libya divided into Tripolitania, Fezzan, and Cyrenaica. Washington, Britain, France, and Italy supported this going back decades.

Redrawing the entire Eurasian map is planned. Involved is balkanizing it for greater control. Divide and conquer strategy makes it easier. One country after another is targeted. Currently it's Syria. In 2011, it was Libya.
