I embedded this in a comment, but it's definitely post-worthy. The other article there is worth whacking on this thread too:

This article further elucidates on the possible reasons for NATO's interest in Libya by exploring and tying together all of the most compelling factors: confiscation of the Libyan government's SWFs, the troublesome state-owned Central Bank (CBL) and its 144 tons of gold, Gaddafi's move to stop trading oil in U.S. dollars or the Euro, and France's fear of the establishment of a Libyan-backed African Union (France initiated air-strikes):

The Libyan War, American Power and the Decline of the Petrodollar System

Sir, I do believe that we have hit the jackpot! The only question that I have is "How are they (International Jew Conspiracy) going to be able to get their grubby little hands on the gold by setting up a "rebel" (al-CIA-da) Central Bank?".

Sorry, CoZ, I missed that comment. You are right, though, it deserves to be a post in and of itself. Also, the Ian Crane interview with RT posted by JoeBlow is well worth a listen.
