What Did Gaddafi Do Anyway?

If I were on the wrong side of the 'good guys', the media would give me funny article titles too

As expected Muammar Gaddafi's death did not receive much respond by the world compared to Steve Jobs' passing. He was as a tyrant who deserved to be toppled violently by fellow Libyans. I, as a representative of the average Joes who only know the basics of the African conflict thanks to Internet, sees him as an evil dictator. The people were unhappy with his rule and desired to topple his regime. Then the power of the people prevailed and it was a happy ending...

Then again, was he really that evil? It's not like he conducted mass murder or threatened the world with nuclear weapons. A quick Google on "Is Gaddafi really bad?" contradicts the image portrayed by the media. Instead of a typical tyrant, he's one of the rare good dictator who changed the lives of his people. For example during his time literacy jumped by leaps and bound from 10% to 90%, free electricity, free farming capital and he approved free-housing policy to name a few. Do all these justify him being shot to his head and abs, paraded half nude and recorded on low quality phones? Something was not right.

Why was NATO so keen in helping the rebellion to bring him down? Why the investment and effort to topple Gaddafi's regime in less than a year when they could've done the same to other dictatorships and regimes like Myanmar and North Korea?

The answer may be Gaddafi's idea: Gold Dinar.

He wanted to use gold dinar to replace the failing and ailing currencies in a gold-for-oil policy, of which received negative backlash from certain proxies. The idea threatened the system the world was established upon and of course upsets those whose interest lie with the current system. Can you imagine how much paper money would devalue when solid honest money from the Earth is pitted against fiat money which is printed out of nothing? That RM100 in your ATM now might devalue to the price of a piece of paper. Hence, the uprising opened a window of opportunity for the proxies to bring him down and thus the intense support from major Western powers.

Now that the damage is done, we'll see how 'democracy' is bringing change to Libyans. Remember Egypt's revolution that toppled Mubarak? It brought change alright, for worse. Egypt is now rolling downhill, or down the Pyramid. Do Google and catch up on news of places where the proxies have invaded, toppled and 'forgotten' by the media. The proxies breaking the strength of African and Middle Eastern nations seem to fulfill the sea foam prophecy. We could be next.

And hey you can choose to listen to whom you think is speaking the truth. I may be the victim of the skeptical media targeting the mainstream media who might think its exposing the truth. Whoever controls the media is the good guy.

Choose your side wisely.
