US Big Lie About North Korea Is One Of Omission

If you believe Uncle Sam and his servants in the mainstream media, North Korean leader Kim Jung-un woke one day and decided to engage in crazy talk about ordering his underlings to prepare for a missile attack on the United States. He followed up by posing before a command center wall map titled: "Plans to Attack the Mainland US". That was enough to provoke the US to announce it's sending an additional missile defense system to American territory Guam, which has been the subject of previous North Korean threats.

But what neither our Uncle nor the media tell us concerns the provocative actions America took such as conducting war games in South Korea since early March, including a mock nuclear attack on North Korea by flying two nuclear capable B-2 Stealth bombers. America also ordered F-22 Raptor stealth fighters to South Korea, which further escalated tensions with North Korea. Is it any wonder that North Korean leaders would trot out their only possible response: bellicose and delusional claims of standing up to our needless provocative behavior.

The Military-Industrial Complex loves this flare up. It portends more military contracts for weapons systems to meet an imaginary danger, a danger likely provoked by their bankrupt, but still free spending Uncle when it comes to military hardware. While the real needs of rebuilding US infrastructure, creating alternative energy independence, developing a medical delivery system for all, and returning America to world class educational leadership languish, those vested in endless war and military adventurism flourish.

America's reporting of North Korea's threatening words are truthful. Its refusal to give us the whole story of America's belligerent and provocative actions, much more ominous than mere words, amounts to a reckless lie of omission that every sensible American should call out and challenge.
