Could gaining control of the Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran (CBI) be one of the main reasons that Iran is being targeted by Western and Israeli powers? As tensions are building up for an unthinkable war with Iran, it is worth exploring Iran’s banking system compared to its U.S., British and Israeli counterparts.
Some researchers are pointing out that Iran is one of only three countries left in the world whose central bank is not under Rothschild control. Before 9-11 there were reportedly seven: Afghanistan, Iraq, Sudan, Libya, Cuba, North Korea and Iran. By 2003, however, Afghanistan and Iraq were swallowed up by the Rothschild octopus, and by 2011 Sudan and Libya were also gone. In Libya, a Rothschild bank was established in Benghazi while the country was still at war.
Islam forbids the charging of usury, the practice of charging excessive, unreasonably high, and often illegal interestrates on loans, and that is a major problem for the Rothschild banking system. Until a few hundred years ago usury was also forbidden in the Christian world and was even punishable by death. It was considered exploitation and enslavement.
Since the Rothschilds took over the Bank of England they have been expanding their banking control over all the countries of the world. Their method has been to get a country’s corrupt politicians to accept massive loans, which they can never repay, and thus go into debt to the Rothschild banking powers. If a leader refuses to accept the loan, he is oftentimes either ousted or assassinated. And if that fails, invasions can follow, and a Rothschild usury-based bank is established.
The Rothschilds exert powerful influence over the world’s major news agencies. By repetition, the masses are duped into believing horror stories about evil villains. The Rothschilds control the Bank of England, the Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, the IMF, the World Bank and the Bank of International Settlements. Also they own most of the gold in the world as well as the London Gold Exchange, which sets the price of gold every day. It is said the family owns over half the wealth of the planet—estimated by Credit Suisse to be $231 trillion—and is controlled by Evelyn Rothschild, the current head of the family.
Objective researchers contend that Iran is not being demonized because they are a nuclear threat, just as the Taliban, Iraq’s Saddam Hussein and Libya’s Muammar Qadaffi were not a threat.
What then is the real reason? Is it the trillions to be made in oil profits, or the trillions in war profits? Is it to bankrupt the U.S. economy, or is it to start World War III? Is it to destroy Israel’s enemies, or to destroy the Iranian central bank so that no one is left to defy Rothschild’s money racket?
It might be any one of those reasons or, worse—it might be all of them.
Libyan Rebels Form Their Own Central Bank Published: Monday, 28 Mar 2011 | 2:52 PM ET Text Size By: John Carney Senior Editor, CNBC.com
Libyan rebels in Benghazi say they have formed their own central bank.
The rebel group known as the Transitional National Council released a statement last week announcing that they have designated the Central Bank of Benghazi as a monetary authority competent in monetary policies in Libya, and that they have appointed a governor to the Central Bank of Libya, with a temporary headquarters in Benghazi, according to Bloomberg.
Is this the first time a revolutionary group has created a central bank while it is still in the midst of fighting the entrenched political power? It certainly seems to indicate how extraordinarily powerful central bankers have become in our era.
Robert Wenzel of Economic Policy Journal thinks the central banking initiative reveals that foreign powers may have a strong influence over the rebels.
This suggests we have a bit more than a ragtag bunch of rebels running around and that there are some pretty sophisticated influences. “I have never before heard of a central bank being created in just a matter of weeks out of a popular uprising,” Wenzel writes.
U.N. sanctions lifted on Libya's central bank UNITED NATIONS | Fri Dec 16, 2011 6:47pm EST
(Reuters) - The U.N. Security Council lifted sanctions on Libya's central bank and a subsidiary on Friday, clearing the way for tens of billions of dollars they hold overseas to be unfrozen to ease an acute cash crisis.
The Central Bank of Libya and the Libyan Foreign Bank (LFB), an offshore institution wholly owned by the central bank, were taken off the council's sanctions list drawn up earlier this year amid civil war in the Arab state.
After a rebellion broke out in February against leader Muammar Gaddafi, the Security Council froze Libyan assets abroad, estimated at $150 billion. Most of that sum has remained beyond the reach of the oil-rich country's new rulers.
Gaddafi's 42-year rule collapsed when his forces fled Tripoli in August, and the last of the fighting in Libya ended in October when he was captured and killed by rebels.
Yet by late November only about $18 billion in seized assets had been released by special provisions of the Security Council's Libya sanctions committee, and diplomats said only about $3 billion of that had been made available to Tripoli.
A U.N. resolution in September eased sanctions on Libya, removing them from the national oil company but leaving them largely in place on the central bank and LFB, partly due to legal problems over unfreezing their foreign assets.
Last week, senior figures in Libya's new leadership wrote to the committee asking it to delist the two banks, which had been sanctioned along with two Libyan investment authorities.
The move was "essential for the economic stability of Libya; for confidence in the banking sector; for the smooth execution and settlement of both domestic and international banking transactions; and to underpin the social and microeconomic stability of the new Libya," the letter said.
Frustration at the delay in releasing the assets has been growing inside Libya, where the interim government says it urgently needs the cash to pay the wages of public sector workers and to start re-building state institutions.
NO OBJECTIONS
The freezing of Libyan assets was part of a package of sanctions by the 15-nation council intended to put pressure on Gaddafi's government to stop attacking civilian protesters.
Shortly after the Security Council's move on Friday, the White House said the United States was unfreezing most Libyan government and central bank funds within its jurisdiction.
"These measures ... will help the new government oversee the country's transition and reconstruction in a responsible manner," a statement said. But it said assets held by Gaddafi's family and members of his former government remained frozen.
The U.S. Treasury Department then said it had unblocked more than $30 billion in Libyan government assets.
The U.N. sanctions were lifted automatically under a procedure invoked by committee chairman Ambassador Jose Filipe Moraes Cabral of Portugal, who told council members a week ago the measures would end unless there were objections by 5 p.m. New York time (10 p.m. British time) on December 16. Diplomats said no objections were received.
Libya can generate substantial revenues from oil exports, but these were halted by the conflict and are taking time to restore, leaving a hole in government finances.
The reason most assets were not unfrozen earlier was uncertainty over who legally owned them and concerns that in some cases it could be Gaddafi's family or aides, diplomats said.
They said the delisting of the two banks did not necessarily mean all frozen assets would be instantly available to Tripoli as foreign institutions holding them might seek formal authorization from governments.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague said Libya's government "will now have full access to the significant funds needed to help rebuild the country, to underpin stability and to ensure that Libyans can make the transactions that are essential to everyday life."
But he said in a statement the European Union would need to pass a regulation required to release about 6.5 billion pounds ($10 billion) frozen in Britain.

- Uganda's central bank has handed back to Tripoli control of a major Libyan-owned bank which it seized last year following U.N. Security Council sanctions targetting Muammar Gaddafi.
The central bank appointed new board members and management to Tropical Bank Uganda, a well-known highstreet lender, last March to comply with a Security Council resolution that imposed a freeze on Libyan government assets.
But on Tuesday Uganda said it was returning the bank following a further Security Council resolution in December which lifted sanctions on the North African country.
"Bank of Uganda is glad to announce the return of Tropical Bank (U) Ltd to its majority shareholder, the Libyan Foreign Bank and reinstatement of the previous board and senior management team," the central bank said in a statement
Tropical Bank is 90 percent owned by the Libyan Foreign Bank, which in turn is controlled by the Libyan government.
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni was a critic of the U.N. authorised intervention that toppled Muammar Gaddafi, but his country complied with U.N. sanctions and froze all Libyan government assets in the country.
Libyan investments in Uganda spanning banking, hospitality and real estate are estimated to be worth $375 million. (Reporting by Elias Biryabarema; Editing by Ben Harding)
How many innocent Libyan's did America kill for the central bankers?
None.

That's a real responsible answer...I guess wars don't have to be just, they just have to be wars. Translation – if you join to defend your country for $30K per year, your lives are expendable at the will of the corrupt politician.
That's why I’ve come to the realization that the neo con is a bigger scumbag than the liberal.
I’m sure you worship at the feet of captain deferment Cheney and captain deferment Gingrich. Real warmongering hero’s of yours.
What war are we in, and when did Congress make the declaration? - Just sayin.
Dead Americans, no WMD's - nobody forced them to join - Just sayin.

He has the right to be mad, it's not like these are conspiracies theories our country has been doing this for decades only for the people to find out later on what the real reason behind some of these conflicts were. One of the biggest cluster f*cks was Operation AJAX which if you don't know was the CIA overthrow of Iran's government for the sake of oil. You can also link our conflicts to our currency ties to oil, Saddam wished to move trading off the dollar, Gaddafi wanted to to use a gold standard to oil.
"In the beginning of a change, the Patriot is a scarce man, brave, hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a Patriot."
Have to agree with you Cicero. American imperialism lives. Wars aren't about expanding territory so much as seizing wealth and natural resources. I don't believe, however, that those who promote such policies are confined to the ranks of neo-cons.

I agree, it just amazes me that "conservatives" are so quickly compelled to support a war with total disregard for the historical fact of the lies that our politicians used to sell and justify wars to the public in the past(Vietnam). Then I get an answer from a so-called "conservative" justifying the death of our soldiers in Iraq, because they voluntarily joined. It is pretty sick and disappointing.
