Abstract

Who was responsible for the assassination of Muammar Gaddafi, the president of Libya? The official story says it was Libyan rebels who were seeking justice against a political dictator. But there is more than meets the eye regarding this assassination, which was an orchestrated event. Yet, the mainstream media have ignored the evidence that counters the official narrative. Emails between former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her aide Sidney Blumenthal describe how French currency imperialism in Africa led to the death of Gaddafi. John Perkins, a former economic “hitman,” draws the same conclusion. In this article, we reveal why the French government had strong motives to silence Gaddafi and to put an end to his efforts to replace the CFA franc with a truly African currency not controlled by an imperial power.

法国在非洲的货币帝国主义如何导致穆阿迈尔·卡扎菲被暗杀

谁对暗杀利比亚总统穆阿迈尔·卡扎菲负责?官方的说法是，这是利比亚反政府武装为推翻一个政治独裁者而寻求正义。但这次暗杀并非表面所见，这是一次精心策划的事件。然而，主流媒体忽视了与官方说法相反的证据。美国前国务卿希拉里·克林顿和她的助手西德尼·布卢门撒尔之间的电子邮件描述了法国在非洲的货币帝国主义是如何导致卡扎菲死亡的。前经济“杀手”约翰•珀金斯(John Perkins)也得出了同样的结论。在这篇文章中，我们揭示了为什么法国政府有强烈的动机让卡扎菲闭嘴，并结束他试图用一种真正的非洲货币取代非洲金融共同体法郎的努力，而不是由帝国力量控制。

期刊介绍： The American Journal of Economics and Sociology (AJES) was founded in 1941, with support from the Robert Schalkenbach Foundation, to encourage the development of transdisciplinary solutions to social problems. In the introduction to the first issue, John Dewey observed that “the hostile state of the world and the intellectual division that has been built up in so-called ‘social science,’ are … reflections and expressions of the same fundamental causes.” Dewey commended this journal for its intention to promote “synthesis in the social field.” Dewey wrote those words almost six decades after the social science associations split off from the American Historical Association in pursuit of value-free knowledge derived from specialized disciplines. Since he wrote them, academic or disciplinary specialization has become even more pronounced. Multi-disciplinary work is superficially extolled in major universities, but practices and incentives still favor highly specialized work. The result is that academia has become a bastion of analytic excellence, breaking phenomena into components for intensive investigation, but it contributes little synthetic or holistic understanding that can aid society in finding solutions to contemporary problems. Analytic work remains important, but in response to the current lop-sided emphasis on specialization, the board of AJES has decided to return to its roots by emphasizing a more integrated and practical approach to knowledge.
