We are seeing now in regard to North Korea a replay of the type of campaign the deep state and the media used in 2001 through 2003 to stir up the American people to support the invasion of Iraq.
The Ron Paul Institute’s Adam Dick writes that this is the assessment of former United States House of Representatives member and presidential candidate Ron Paul in a Tuesday interview with Alex Jones on the Alex Jones Show.
In the interview focused on US foreign policy and, in particular, relations between the US and North Korea, Paul declared:
Just remember … the propagandists, the deep state and the media, convinced the American people that Saddam Hussein was a danger, They’re doing the same thing now with North Korea.

In response to this propaganda, Paul, who has served as chairman of the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity since leaving the US House, says Americans “ought to wise up and just not buy into this.”
Watch Paul’s complete interview here:
Paul wrote this week about the move toward a US war against North Korea in his editorial “How to End the Korea Crisis
I don’t think anyone – Trump, the generals, what’s left of the Bannon faction (if anyone) wants to attack North Korea. China could join in. Saddam was denying that he had WMD. Rocket man is bragging that he has nukes and shoots rockets over Japan. So it’s different at least a bit. Trump is just going to keep tightening the economic consequences on China until muzzle their yapping dog.
Ron Paul is diverging lately.
No one, us or anyone else in the world, wants war with NK and is unlikely to do anything surreptitiously to blame on the NK’s to start one.
If NK started acting like a civilized and rational nation, instead of an insanely belligerent and aggressive one, the world would gladly welcome them into the community of nations.
So, Ms Freud is wondering why anyone would want to start a war with ME …. and why I am being referred to as a country.
Huh????
Well, you see my actual real life initials are ….NK.
On the bright side, I only had to explain it to her just once.
NK will be used as cover for a false flag EMP on America.

Once again Ron’s the voice of reason and sanity and the peanut gallery is falling for the same old NeoRat lines. Yeah he’s probably nuts. Another good reason to leave him the fuck alone.
Anyone who believes that Kim is a madman has been brainwashed by the deep state and media. Consider this a warning. Reprogram yourself before it’s too late. To navigate today’s fucked up world you need your head firmly planted in reality.
And anyone that doesn’t think that after seeing everything he has done and is doing is a moron at best.
Open your eyes Idiot, or move there if you don’t believe it.
Yes, Z. This is true. To navigate in today’s world you need your head firmly planted in reality. So then where does ”Astro Boy” (I prefer that to Rocket Man, in deference to Elton) have his planted? If Rodman was your best friend I’d be asking a lot of questions about you.
Also sprach.
It’s very simple. Kim wants a security guarantee. The Korean War never ended; the two sides remain formally at war. There was just an armistice. Considering that the US thinks it can invade anyone without any pretext, do you blame Kim for worrying that he might be next? Why won’t the US just give him that, unless it has aggressive intentions? So Kim responds by creating a nuclear deterrent. Is he wrong? Can you name any country that haz nukes that has ever been invaded? What would YOU do in his place?
I am not saying he is a nice guy. He clearly isn’t. But I am saying he is an entirely rational actor. Everything he has done has been to secure himself as dictator and to protect his country and regime from foreign aggression.
PS, what the Worm did in NK was pretty fucking cool. He thought he might be contributing to world peace. I think he was right.
Dead on. He saw what happened to Saddam and Moammar. He knows that once you have nukes they can’t attack you. Entirely rational, and entirely separate from the discussion of what kind of person he is.
Where, other than your imagination, do you get your information and why do you believe it?
Certainly not from anything Kim has said or done or is saying or doing.
FWIW, you seem to ignore that NK was the one that started it with help from both Russia and China. How does that figure into your thinking?
That’s a really fucking dumb comment.
It’s always good to get different perspectives but TBP is really goin downhill.
Diogenese and Zarathustra are the only ones that make sense to me.
The PTB are gonna get their war or EMP or whatever they need to take the next step to total control.
And the sheeple are so paralyzed by their cognitive dissonance and narcotizing dysfunction that they won’t do anything about it.
NK is the PRC’s little brother. This current situation was allowed to happen. Nothing happens in China that is not allowed. I have seen riots here that were far less spontaneous than what happened in Charlottesville. Remember his missiles are transported on Chinese ”logging” trucks which were sold for peaceful purposes. At the end of the day he is Pinocchio to China’s Gepetto.
The minute a drop of blood is shed, the flags will come out, the sheeple will demand war, all calling for sanity will be shouted down, and sadly a whole lot of folks on this blog who generally come off as sane, will be among those demanding blind allegiance and insane policies. Nothing destroys principles or common sense like war.
