Libya: All About Oil, or All About Banking?

Several writers have noted the odd fact that the 
Libyan rebels took time out from their rebellion 
in March to create their own central bank ­ this 
before they even had a government.  Robert Wenzel 
wrote in the Economic Policy Journal:
.......As the United Nations works feverishly to 
condemn Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi for 
cracking down on protesters, the body's Human 
Rights Council is poised to adopt a report 
chock-full of praise for Libya's human rights record.
The review commends Libya for improving 
educational opportunities, for making human 
rights a "priority" and for bettering its 
"constitutional" framework. Several countries, 
including Iran, Venezuela, North Korea, and Saudi 
Arabia but also Canada, give Libya positive marks 
for the legal protections afforded to its 
citizens -- who are now revolting against the 
regime and facing bloody reprisal.............

Steve, 33, a spokesman for the Okasional Cafe 
said: “It's about creating a space where people 
can come together in a social way.
“In British law we are not doing anything 
illegal. For us it's about taking spaces that are 
not being used. There are huge resources in our 
built environment that open for reasons of profit that are now left unused.”
“There is a stigma attached to squatting, but we 
are not here to steal copper wiring or trash the 
place. We're being responsible about this.”
Fellow squatter Mark added: “If people don't 
think what we're doing is right, they should just 
come down and meet us and see what we're doing.”
A leaflet explaining the  Cafe reads: “With 
sky-rocketing rents, plummeting wages and mass 
employment, occupying some of the 18,000 empty 
properties in Manchester is fast looking to 
become the only option. If we played by their rules this space wouldn't exist.”
