UBYA, LOCKERBIE & THE NEW WORLD ORDER While many countries now agree that Libya had nothing to do with the Lockerbie bombing - the sanctions that are still being imposed on Libya serve as a stark reminder that we are truly in A New World Order! The fact that a powerful few nations can violate their own international codes of justice to bring another nation to "heel" - is a chilling portend of things to come. at is really going on with Libya? The answer to this question lies buried beneath several layers of successful western disinformation. I visited Libya twice while working for Simply Living Magazine - once in June 1988 to attend an international peace conference, and once in January 1989 to investigate the alleged chemical weapons factory. I can tell you from personal experience, that Libya is nothing like what the pop- ular media would have us believe. What then, is the reason for the hysteria that just a few western countries display when anyone mentions the word "Libya"? My research has led me to believe that Libya is or was, one of the only countries on the planet, who decided years ago, not to participate in the approaching "New World Order". Libya, since the 1969 revolution, has enjoyed a period of rapid economic growth, unparalleled by virtually any other country. Being an oil rich nation, Libya is one of the only countries not to have borrowed money from the Internationalists - ie the IMF and the World Bank(s). This has given Libya more freedoms, internally, than countries who are "on the financial nipple” so to speak. Libya's spokesman Colonel Qadhafi, has made many ref- erences over the years, to a coming "New World Order", and has repeatedly warned other nations of what was ahead. It is most likely that this is the backbone of the real reason for the “west's” undeclared war against Libya. It has been pointed out to me that here in Australia, the public has never been told the truth about Libya, or what Qadhafi has been saying on the international platform. Instead we are repeatedly told that he is a "madman", and "the grandfather" of all terrorism. Every European | spoke to of Libya, was amazed and horrified at the image por- trayed of Qadhafi in Australia. Our discussions usually ended with the comments “and J thought Australia had an independent media". (They were even more horrified when I told them that we get exactly the same news on virtually every TV, radio station and newspaper.) Qadhafi foresaw years ago, a pattern of countries pushed into accepting World Bank/IMF loans, with all the small but potent conditions that were attached. He saw country after country bowing to the international banking fraternity as its by Duncan Roads by Duncan Roads NEXUS ¢33 JUNE-JULY 1992
