In 2009, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi of Libya was elected to lead the 53-nation African Union for one year during a summit in Addis Ababa. He made clear his intention to push for an alternative "USA": "I shall continue to insist that our sovereign countries work to achieve the United States of Africa," he said, admitting that African leaders were "not near to a settlement" on the issue. "We are still independent states. It is your decision to respond to the call for unity, to push Africa forward towards the United States of Africa." Gaddafi knew that Africa has the potential to be an economic powerhouse in the global economy and was already conceiving of a gold-backed currency to free first Libya then the entire African Continent from Western financial bondage. 2-1/2 years after his United States of Africa speech to the AU, Gaddafi, the man who had led Libya to achieve arguably the highest standard of living in Africa, was dead -- murdered by thugs beholden to America the BABYLON and its NATO vassals. Libya was destroyed by the civil unrest engineered by the CIA, and by the subsequent 2011 military "intervention" of America and its NATO vassals. The country today remains a divided battleground.
LIBYA UNDER GADDAFI BEFORE BABYLON-IMPOSED "DEMOCRACY":
-GDP in 2010 was 187.8 billion USD.
-GDP per capita in 2010 was 31,094 USD.
-The budget balance as a percentage of GDP was a positive 12.5%
- Homelessness was at zero percent. Homes were guaranteed and free.
- Electricity was free.
- Bank loans carried a zero percent interest rate.
- Farmers were given land, a house, seeds and equipment for free to set up farms in the interior of the country, where the Great Man-Made River irrigated the Sahara.
-Newly married couples received 50,000 USD to help the get started
-Education, including higher education, was free. Students who wished to study abroad received 2,300 USD per month and a car allowance
- Medical care was free. Libyans who needed healthcare abroad traveled for free and their treatment was paid by the State.
- Unemployed graduates received the average salary for the profession they wished to practice until they found a job.
- The State paid 50% of the price of a car.
- Mothers were paid 5,000 USD upon the birth of a child.
- One could buy three loaves of bread with one US cent.

NEEDLESS TO SAY, THE U.S. AND NATO DESTROYED ALL OF THIS (i.e., government benefits are gone) AND THE COUNTRY IS NOW A DANGEROUS FAILED STATE WITH ITS ECONOMY A GHOST OF WHAT IT WAS AND U.S-SPONSORED TERRORIST GROUPS STILL AT LARGE

So what is the AVERAGE AMERICAN'S reaction to this outrageous crime spree by Washington & its vassals that destroyed a well-functioning African nation and the well-being of over 6 million human beings?:
"Pass the chips and salsa, honey, they're lining up for the opening kick-off. Is there any more guac?"
