Wow. Never knew why the US would help overthrow a guy who had paid reparations to the Lockerbie bombing victims and generally revised, but this all makes a lot of sense: the globalist elite conspired against him because he was advocating a rejection of fiat currency and return to gold.

Yep, it's an old article, but I hadn't ever seen this twist on things so I thought I'd bring it up.

    Interesting how Saddam Hussein was supported by the US to use weapons of mass destruction against Iran, an attempt to overthrow a government that was slant drilling into his oil fields was enough of an excuse to invade Iraq but not too far, but once he started selling oil for another currency threatening what little stabilization there is for the use of the American petro dollar there was an immediate call for invasion, finding the ruthless dictator and killing him. He was always ruthless and amoral but the idea he might use another currency as a reserve to back his worthless money was cause for his death.

    He wasn't part of the kakistocrac central banking system...he wanted to have their own central bank and fund structural and educational infrastructures in Africa....Knowing the worlds Delete ruleless class as well as I do....sounds like just the kind of guy they'd overthrow.
