Important Context for the ‘Tensions’ on the Korean Peninsula

Posted on May 28, 2010 by stacyherbert| 100 Comments

Stacy Summary: As there has literally zero context provided by MSM to the situation in Korea, I thought you might like to view this segment from an interview from last night’s Democracy Now with historian Bruce Cumings. Note also the introductory clip of Hillary Clinton claiming that ‘international law’ has been broken by North Korea. And also that the ‘tensions’ have conveniently made resistance to the Okinawa military bases futile.

What do Chinese fishermen know that the Obama administration doesn’t?

Stacy Summary: So, North Korea sets off a nuclear bomb the size of Hiroshima, launches several missiles and the US sees no problem! Of course not, because we are still looking for those WMD in Iraq. I guess, also, having another race and religion of ‘evil doers’ makes the more lucrative “War on Oil Rich Muslims” a harder sell. (I might add that gold seems to know what the Chinese fishermen seem to know)

Non-oil producing nation goes nuclear

Posted on May 25, 2009 by stacyherbert| 103 Comments

Stacy Summary: In the waning days of the US empire, North Korea is ‘allowed’ to go nuclear because they have no oil. With limited time before the dollar collapses, I think the US only has time to concentrate on attacking oil rich states. To me, it looks like the headlines are increasingly showing a new superpower (China) calmly emerging with their piles of cash acquiring resources without bloodshed; while on the other hand, we have a crumbling empire smashing and grabbing nations and their resources with enormous bloodshed in the process. What do you think about it?
