The often overlooked portion of this suggestion was that Gaddafi was also in the process of irrigating all of North Africa by tapping a massive aquifer under that country. The combination of not having a Rothschild controlled Central Bank in Libya (at that time) plus the possibility of bringing water and oil to that part of the world would have made Libya an even wealthier independent nation. This just simply would not do for the power structure of North Africa. You can't drink oil. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Man-Made_River http://fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/government/banking_and_taxation_irs_and_insurance/social_security/news.php?q=1320062234 https://youtu.be/tUgVlMDbyl4
