Only Morons Believe What The US Government Says About North Korea

undefined

Usually foreign analysts of the American political scene are either sycophantic or just annoying, but no one would dare say that about Aussie observer Caitlin Johnstone, whose punk rock style of cutting to the chase is as refreshing as it can be shocking (I am not a fan of the strong language, but I get it). Since President Trump’s “fire and fury” explosion yesterday Americans have to an unsettling degree once again rallied ’round the (false) flag of war propaganda. Today Ms. Johnstone provided a much-needed slap in the face to the mind-numbed masses once again clamoring for US bombs on a country they could not find on a map if their lives depended on it.

As even many soi-disant libertarians reverted back to playing war commander on their keyboards — “I’m all for a non-interventionist foreign policy, but THIS GUY’S GONNA KILL US!!!” — Johnstone reminded anyone with half a brain of one eternal truth: Governments and their house servants (the mainstream media, neocons, deep state, etc) are murderous liars and the only way they dare flush a few hundred billion dollars — and oceans of blood — down the toilet of war is to first lie their brains out to the people they are confident will swallow the poison pills and call them candy.

Of course the United States government and its minions are lying about North Korea, Johnstone reminds us. They ALWAYS lie!

She writes:

The United States power establishment has an extensive history of using lies, false flags and propaganda to manipulate its hundreds of millions of citizens into supporting needless military interventionism. From the Gulf of Tonkin incident to the false Nayirah testimony to the amazing network of lies spun about Saddam Hussein to the ‘humanitarian’ intervention in Libya to the unconscionable Bana Alabed psy-op in Syria, there is no depth to which the US war machine will not stoop in deceiving the public about the need to unload the military-industrial complex’s expensive inventory onto some third world country overseas, no limit to the evils that America’s unelected power establishment will commit in order to secure geopolitical dominance, and no end to the mass media propaganda machine’s willingness to report war propaganda as objective fact.

It is quite literally impossible to be too paranoid about these people. If you had an acquaintance who was a known compulsive liar with an extensive history of duping people into fighting one another for his own sociopathic amusement, how would you react if he handed you a gun and told you that your neighbor is getting ready to attack you?

This might prove shocking even to some “libertarians” caught up in the frenzy of manufactured threats. But the US government lies. They lie day and night. All the time about everything.

Johnstone concludes:

There is one government in the mix here that has proven itself completely sociopathic and untrustworthy in such matters, and it ain’t the DPRK. Stay skeptical, stay watchful, and stay woke.

“Oh no,” people squeal! “THIS time they’re telling the truth!”

Good luck with that. Blood’s on your hands, not ours.

NKorea can sputter all they want, but they have almost zero ability to disrupt America’s operations around the globe.

They can only enforce their will on us if we let them do it….and our government and media are itching for another long, drawn out, win-less war. And apparently NKorea is willing to oblige.

As long as nukes don’t fly, I’m sure Russia/China/Iran will be overjoyed. America’s military is almost out of blood to shed, and they all know it.

Dead on..but we don’t want to miss the opportunity to use American tax dollars to rebuild another country after knocking the shit out of them…reparations guilt; or better yet, let the transgenders, the illegals, and domestic “moderate” muslims fight this one whilst we preserve our real fighters for fighting our own tyrannical government and their globalist allies here at home.

Remember when North Korea released a statement that Obama was like a monkey in a forest?

We didn’t bomb them then……

Why, of course, the people don’t want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally, the common people don’t want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship.

… Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country. – Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring, personally selected by Adolf Hitler as his immediate successor

We were lied to about WMDs in Iraq in 2003.

We were lied to about Iran all these years.

And they are lying to us again, about North Korea.

If you people love N Korea so much I’m sure they have room for one more. Please move there immediately. Send me a postcard. Did, or did not, the college student lose his life for stealing a picture on a hotel wall. Sorry lot you all are indeed. See you in the dark after the emp. Oh goodness I forgot, N Korea can’t hurt us. Silly me, thanks.

Nobody “loves” North Korea. But wiping out millions of civilians is genocide.

Rdawg

Yes, let’s wipe out countless civilians because an American kid did something incredibly foolish. He didn’t deserve to die for what he did; but neither do N. Korean innocents.

If you feel so strongly about getting rid of N. Koreans, I’m sure we can arrange to send your gung-ho ass over there with a rifle and you can tear it up.

Relax gang. We now have proof positive that war with NK is justified:

In the past the USA performed its regime change is a less disruptive way. The techniques involved bribing a leader so he would come around to the USA point of view and screw his people in the process. If that didn’t work, maybe fermenting a rebellion to bring a new leader of the people into power. Sometimes the jackals would need to assassinate a foreign leader who didn’t want to kowtow to the mighty USA.

But apparently, other than in the Ukraine, these methods are no longer good enough. Instead, we need to bomb the shit out of a country to “free” them. And every time we create a new “free” country, it is a bombed out hell-hole where the citizens are trying to escape to Europe.

Almost makes you long for the CIA’s more civilized approaches to “helping” countries understand their best interests.

Yeah, the Obama Method: quiver in your boots and send them pallets of freshly-printed, cold hard Federal Reserve Notes, and attempt to sign a treaty that’s not really a treaty so you can bypass the Legislature and go for Nobel #2.

Ron finally got something right. His opinion of the people who believe government.

This post is spot on. How can a country like NK that we have been told can’t feed their people or even keep the lights on have all of this brilliant nuclear capability and weapons? First we are told they can’t even hit Japan and that their missiles land in the Sea of Japan. The next thing you hear is that they can hit the West Coast. Then we are told they can hit places like Chicago and New York (but, curiously, not DC). Huh? Who can believe any of this? Especially coming on the heels of discredited bunk about WMD just 15 years ago why are we again falling for untruths hook, line, and sinker? Does anyone out there have even an iota of critical thinking skills anymore? Come on!

Since coming of age at the end of the Vietnam lie and bull shit for everyone involved in government that thought it was the thing to do . As long as somebody else’s kids do the dirty work .
Now that our industry and the high paying jobs are gone and our geniuses in Washington idebted every man woman and child for generations they call the Military all volunteer , not much for our young people to do so we will call them all HEROS .
When they return the VA can treat them just well enough to let them know just how much their government really gives a shit .
Meanwhile we as a nation are pissin blood and treasure away in every shithole some half wit can commit us as a nation to . The results are unbelievable wealthy CEO ‘s can sit in Box Seats and shed a tear during the National Anthem with their kids and the poor kids sign up brainwashed into some patriotic duty for some fools errand !
Let’s not forget just a few years ago North Korea instructed the population how to boil grass and bark to avoid starving , now they are a nuclear threat ?

This is why people need to stop saying “thank you for your service”. Not because enlistees aren’t brave, but because that whole lauding of vets is part of the propaganda scheme to ensure that there are enough bodies to send to the next ill-considered intervention.
