BIG BROTHER WAR FOR LIBYA WATER

There are several elements to the Libyan mess.
One of them is certainly water.
In a nutshell, whoever controls the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System,
controls the economies, foreign policies and destinies
of several countries in the region, not just north-eastern Africa.
Libya's enormous aquatic reserves will be a large prize
for whoever gets the upper hand in this struggle.

The fight for Libya's water
by Phillip Knightley, Khaleej Times, Apr 30, 2011

There has been one important fact missing in all the news stories and speculation that have appeared on Libya. No one as far as I can tell has mentioned the Libyan Great Man-Made River, "the eighth wonder of the world", or speculated on what influence it may have had on the fighting that is going on there. The question we should be asking is: could Libya be a war not about oil but about water?...

Most debates today on the [UN-NATO] Western presence in Libya center on preventing violence, securing oil or assisting "brave, democracy-deserving rebels". None of these reasons rings true. Should we look for an economic justification?

Muammar Al Gaddafi was openly advocating the creation of a new currency that would rival the dollar and the euro. In fact, he called upon African and Muslim nations to join an alliance that would make this new currency, the gold dinar, their primary form of money and foreign exchange. They would sell oil and other resources to the US and the rest of the world only for gold dinars. Was this behind the 'revolution' and the support it received from [UN-NATO] the West? Perhaps....

But I think water is a much more likely reason. In 2008, the secretary general of the United Nations, Ban Ki-moon, said, "Our experiences tell us that environmental stress, due to lack of water, may lead to conflict and would be greater in poor nations…as the global economy grows, so will its thirst.”

Exactly. Gaddafi’s Great Man-Made River offers limitless amounts of water for Libyans and will allow them to be totally self-sufficient, and because water equates money and power in the near future, other countries may be dependent on its reserves. A self-sufficient nation with control over the world’s most precious resource waves a big red warning flag for the West [and the East]. Gaddafi foresaw this. At a celebration event for the project in 1991, he told the audience: “After this achievement, American threats against Libya will double...”

So the conflict is not about democracy or reducing violence.... "The United States has turned a blind eye to violent dictators in the past and it will do so again. Only self-sufficient leaders with control over natural resources call its attention. In Libya, the world is seeing its first major military conflict over the new liquid gold.”

Libya: water emerges as hidden weapon
by Simba Russeau, Guardian, May 27, 2011

In the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) water has created a growing regional crisis and could be an impetus for further unrest. Demand is increasing as populations skyrocket - reserves are rapidly depleting and food inflation has taken its toll on cash-strapped countries dependent on imported food staples."

There are several elements to the Libyan mess. One of them is certainly water...."In a nutshell, whoever controls NSAS [Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System], controls the economies, foreign policies and destinies of several countries in the region, not just north-eastern Africa."

Last month, Libyan officials warned that UN airstrikes on the [GMMR] Great Man-Made River's pipelines could cause a humanitarian and environmental disaster. But pro-government forces could also disrupt the GMMR's flow if they wish, leaving opposition-held regions in the east with only the Ajdabiya reservoir - this holds just a month's supply of water. "Pure freshwater from the south must continue being pumped because without it Benghazi would die," says Ivekovic.

"The water pipelines run parallel to the oil and gas pipelines and it's interesting that with most of the fighting happening around the areas of Ajdabiya, Sirte and Benghazi that none of these pipes have yet been damaged. In a desertifying region already wracked by water conflict, Libya's enormous aquatic reserves will be a large prize for whoever gets the upper hand in this struggle," says Athanasiadis.

Emerging water crisis in Libya, UNICEF, Aug 27, 2011
UNICEF has delivered 23,000 bottles of water with support from a WFP vessel for the emergency use in Tripoli as the situation is expected to worsen in the Libya capital. UNICEF delivered an additional 23,000 litres of bottled water earlier this week for use in two major hospitals in Tripoli. In addition, 90,000 bottles of water are due to arrive on Monday 29th August. Currently, a total of around 5 million litres of water is being procured by UNICEF from neighbouring countries to be trucked and shipped to Tripoli in the coming days. “UNICEF is responding to the immediate needs in Tripoli, but we remain extremely concerned about the situation should there be a shortage of water in the coming days. This could turn into an unprecedented health epidemic “said Christian Balslev-Olesen, UNICEF Libya Head of Office. A UNICEF technical team is now working with the Libyan authorities to facilitate an assessment of water wells, review urgent response options and identify alternatives for water sources. "The current situation is the absolute worst-case scenario, and a swift resumption of water supplies is critical", added Mr. Bolaslev-Olesen. Since the beginning of the conflict, power cuts and fuel shortages has put the Great Manmade River Authority, the primary distributor of potable water in Libya, at risk of failing to meet the country’s water needs.

The Rebel National Transitional Council (NTC) welcomes Chinese enterprises back to the country..."Libya and China share huge economic interests, the NTC leader said, and Libya would need China even more after Gaddafi's 42-year-long rule ends. Ghoga also expressed hope that China can use its international status to support Libyan people's efforts to build a democratic country ruled by law and help retrieve the country's frozen overseas assets.

'Gaddafi hiding in underground tunnels', Hindustan Times, Jun 12, 2011
Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi is reportedly hiding in 13 feet wide desert water tunnels, some of which are 600 feet deep, in a desperate bid to avoid being attacked by UN-NATO airstrikes over ground. "Gaddafi has gone underground to save himself. It's just like in the Blitz when people lived in the London Underground system. He doesn't want to hang around on the surface where he can be targeted", the Daily Star quoted a senior Libyan security source, as saying. "The Paveways are being used to hit those hard-to-reach bunkers. He is relying on the earth insulating him from tracker devices. The tunnels are ideal and mean that he can stay close to Tripoli,” he added. The tunnels are part of the 20 billion pounds 'Great Man-Made River Project' that Gaddafi had built in the 1980s...)

Rebel-controlled Libyan oil cargo China-bound
by Amena Bakr/Jonathan Saul, Africa Reuters, Apr 7, 2011
Dubai/London - China will buy the first oil cargo from Libyan rebels [non-Libyan Jewish-backed Islamic terrorists] via trading house Vitol, sources said on Thursday, in a trial deal which is likely to clear the way for Europe to resume badly-needed purchases of Libyan oil. Traders, however, added that it could take a long time before flows of crude from Libya reach substantial levels. The war has cut oil output by 80 percent while rebels [non-Libyan Jewish-backed Islamic terrorists] and government forces trade charges over attacks on oil fields. "Given that several governments, including some in Europe that now recognise it [non-Libyan Jewish-backed Islamic terrorists] as the legal government of the country, there would be no legal obstacle to buying oil from it or even paying it directly," said J. Peter Pham, Africa director with U.S. think tank the Atlantic Council.... The rebel-led government [non-Libyan Jewish-backed Islamic terrorists] said it had concluded a deal with Qatar to market crude oil and had discussed plans with a U.N. envoy to exempt its oil exports from sanctions that have been imposed on Libya. Traders said they believed that the payments will be made via an offshore bank account. "The value of this first shipment is around $112 million and will be made in a bank account outside of Libya that the rebels [non-Libyan Jewish-backed Islamic terrorists] would have access to," one of the traders said. Rebels [non-Libyan Jewish-backed Islamic terrorists] have asked the United Nations to help restart oil and gas exports from ports they control and said the matter required "urgent attention" to enable Libya's economy to function. Production at rebel-held [non-Libyan Jewish-backed Islamic terrorists] oilfields in eastern Libya has stopped after they came under attack from forces loyal to Gaddafi, a rebel [non-Libyan Jewish-backed Islamic terrorists] spokesman said on Wednesday. "This is certainly not the last cargo from opponents [non-Libyan Jewish-backed Islamic terrorists] of Gaddafi," said John Dalby, chief executive with maritime risk management specialists MRM. "Libya's importance as an oil producer is being deliberately underplayed given her reserves and China will buy [UN-sanctioned] Libyan oil [from non-Libyan Jewish-backed Islamic terrorists] and establish its political and economic clout."

Soros Fingerprints on Libya Bombing
by Aaron Klein, Fox News, Mar 23, 2011
Philanthropist billionaire George Soros is a primary funder and key proponent of the global organization that promotes the military doctrine used by the Obama administration to justify the recent airstrikes targeting the regime of Moammar Gadhafi in Libya. The activist who founded and coined the name of the doctrine, "Responsibility to Protect," sits on several key organizations alongside Soros. Also, the Soros-funded global group that promotes Responsibility to Protect is closely tied to Samantha Power, the National Security Council special adviser to Obama on human rights. Power has been a champion of the doctrine and is, herself, deeply tied to the doctrine's founder. According to reports, Power was instrumental in convincing Obama to act against Libya. The Responsibility to Protect doctrine has been described by its founders and proponents, including Soros, as promoting global governance while allowing the international community to penetrate a nation state's borders under certain conditions.

Bottled water is tap water ($-billions corporate swindle). CNN, Jul 29, 2007
Pepsi-Cola announced Friday that the labels of its Aquafina brand bottled water will be changed to make it clear the product is tap water. Americans spent about $2.17 billion on Aquafina last year, according to Beverage Digest, an independent company that tracks the global beverage industry. The U.S. bottled water business in 2006 totaled roughly $15 billion, it said. Coca-Cola does not have plans to change the labeling on its Dasani brand bottled water, a company spokesman told CNN, despite the fact the water also comes from a public water supply. Dasani's U.S. sales totaled approximately $1.89 billion in 2006, according to Beverage Digest calculations. Nestle also has announced it will be changing the bottles of its All Nestle Pure Life Purified Drinking Water to "identify the source of the water, whether it's from a municipal supply or ground-water well source."

Alternative water future outlined, BBC, Mar 2003
The world's water resources must become a common global good under a new international system anchored in a constitutional right to water for all, an alternative water forum resolved here at the weekend. While 12,000 people were meeting in Kyoto at the official Third World Water Forum, a smaller group with a radically different agenda came here to Italy. The First People's World Water Forum, as it was called, gathered to protest at the direction of current water policies - which it believes are dominated by private corporations who favour large projects such as dams, instead of simpler technologies. The Florence meeting's 1,400 participants (70% Italians) came from pacifist, environmental, development and farmers' NGOs, as well as local authorities. They met to carry forward the Porto Alegre World Social Forum's call in January for a new democratic world water parliament and a halt to water privatisation. Delagte after delegate in Italy said the present "commodification" of water as well as creeping corporate control via privatisation would only escalate water scarcity and spark future "water wars". Several speakers claimed that the Iraq war was also about control of Iraq's huge water resources.
