Het opperhoofd van het U.S. Pacific Command, admiraal Harry Harris, vertelde het Congres afgelopen woensdag, dat de militaire opbouw in Zuidoost-Azië er niet op gericht is, Noord-Korea aan te vallen. Nee, die opbouw is erop gericht, de Noord-Koreaanse leider Kim Yung-un af te schrikken, zodat hij stopt met 'kernproeven'* en niet nog meer tests doet met raketten (die amper luchtwaardig zijn, zoals telkens weer blijkt). Harris stelt dat de VS de Noord-Koreanen iet op hun knieën wil dwingen, maar tot rede wil brengen.........
Later stelt Harris, dat Noord-Korea wel degelijk een direct gevaar is voor Zuid-Korea, Japan en de VS.... ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Harris gaf wel toe, dat de militaire opbouw van de VS 'om N-Korea tot rede te brengen' totaal buiten proporties is, wat betreft de slagkracht van dit land......
Vandaag een artikel van P.C. Roberts op Information Clearing House. Hij betoogt terecht dat de handelingen van de VS er duidelijk op gericht zijn, Rusland en China op de knieën te dwingen, middels een eerste kernaanval op die landen...... Niet zo vreemd, als je de uitlatingen van Harris in ogenschouw neemt: de enorme militaire opbouw (buiten alle proporties) in Zuidoost-Azië.
De VS is in Z.o.-Azië o.a. bezig een enorme vloot ('armada') samen te stellen, waarbij zelfs 3 vliegdekschepen en de grootste VS kernonderzeeër betrokken zijn. Daarnaast heeft de VS op meerdere plekken in datzelfde gebied (op land) raketten gestationeerd, raketten die zogenaamd alleen defensief zullen worden ingezet. Lullig genoeg heeft de VS een nieuwe serie raketten, die simpel van anti-raket kunnen worden omgevormd tot kernraket met meerdere kernkoppen.......
Hetzelfde gebeurt overigens met Rusland: de VS staat met de NAVO voor een groot deel van de Russische westgrens, waar het continu grootscheepse militaire oefeningen houdt en intussen een 'raketschild' heeft gebouwd, zogenaamd tegen Iraanse raketten, terwijl ook deze raketten in een mum van tijd, kunnen worden omgebouwd tot kernraketten met meerdere kernkoppen........
Roberts wijst op de uitlatingen van de VS (al onder Obama), dat de VS zich het recht voorbehoud, een aanval (zonder reden daarvoor) met kernraketten te starten...... (hetzelfde heeft de inhumane feeks May, de premier van Groot-Brittannië gedaan, kort nadat zij vorig jaar aantrad....)
Roberts concludeert dan ook dat de VS haar hegemonie over aarde wil afdwingen, precies zoals de Russen dit na uitvoerig onderzoek ook al concludeerden.
Nogmaals terecht stelt Roberts dat dit gevaarlijke spel van de VS de vernietiging van de aarde zal bewerkstelligen (middels WOIII)..... Roberts is teleurgesteld in het linkse activisme, dat door conflicten is verbrokkeld en geen wereldwijd protest kan ontketenen, zoals in de 80er jaren, tegen de kruisraketten (of eerder tegen de illegale oorlogen die de VS voerde in Zuidoost-Azië..)......
Uiteraard likt het overgrote deel van de westerse politici de hielen van hun VS voorbeelden, waar de reguliere westerse media alle VS/NAVO propaganda voor zoete koek slikken en deze uitventen als de enige waarheid (waarbij het ene nepnieuws bericht na het andere wordt opgelepeld, e.e.a vooral middels haat- en angstzaaien.....)...... Daar durft men keer op keer landen als Rusland, Noord-Korea en Iran van gewelddadige expansie te betichten, terwijl daar maar één land echt voor aan is te wijzen: de VS, de grootste terreurentiteit op onze kleine planeet.........
Gezien dat laatste is het niet zo vreemd dat N-Korea rare bokkensprongen maakt, immers de VS is niet te vertrouwen, 'ook niet' als een land de pogingen staakt, om een atoombom te construeren, dat heeft Libië moeten ondervinden in 2011, dit land werd door de VS en andere westerse landen (o.l.v. de VS) naar god geholpen, waar het eens rijkste land van Afrika, nu zo ongeveer het armste is, een land dat in totale chaos is gedompeld..........
Eén ding is zeker, middels het conflict met Noord-Korea, militariseert de VS in feite het hele zeegebied van China, waar het een paar honderd militaire bases in de buurt van datzelfde gebied heeft...... Precies zoals de VS dit ook heeft in voor Rusland strategische gebieden....... Terwijl de rest van de EU wordt gebruikt voor opslag van militaire hardware, zo biedt Nederland plaats aan extra kernkoppen (sterke geruchten) en tanks (zeker) van de VS.........

What You Need to Know About the U.S.-North Korea Conflict Right Now

Holbrooks
(ANTIMEDIA) Washington, D.C. — Keeping in step with the latest bullet point from the mainstream narrative, the head of the U.S. Pacific Command, Admiral Harry Harris, told Congress Wednesday that the military buildup in East Asia is not intended for a proactive attack on North Korea. Rather, he claimed, it is to deter the nation’s rogue leader, Kim Jong-un.
Promising
legislators that the U.S. would be ready to defend allies in the
region “with
the best technology” the
military has to offer, Harris said the North Korean leader — who
has ordered multiple
missile tests of late, creating an international stir — will attack
American cities as soon as he can.
Despite
the United States’ innocent intentions in Asia, however — the
military hardware is there to bring Kim “to his senses, not
to his knees,” says Harris — the admiral also reminded
Congress that a first-strike move against North Korea is still a
possibility.
“As
[US President Donald] Trump and [Defense Secretary James] Mattis have
said, all options are on the table,” Harris
said.
Indeed,
Harris seems to think it will, in fact, come to that.
“I
don’t share your confidence that North Korea is not going to attack
South Korea, Japan, or the United States…once they have the
capability,” he
told Congress.
As
to that fancy technology the admiral referred to, some of it is
currently upsetting a lot of South Koreans. From a Reuters report on
Wednesday:
“The
U.S. military moved parts of an anti-missile defense system to a
deployment site in South Korea Wednesday amid heightened tensions
over North Korea’s missile and nuclear weapons programs, triggering
protests from villagers and China.”
Like
the situation in Japan, many South Koreans feel the
U.S. presence in their country only exacerbates regional tensions. To
them, the deployment of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense
(THAAD) system could potentially be viewed as an act of aggression.
Strangely,
Harris also actually admitted to Congress that the military buildup
in East Asia is overkill and that the carrier strike group currently
making its way to the Korean Peninsula is far more powerful than
anything Kim Jong-un could throw at it.
“The
weapons that North Korea would put against the Carl Vinson strike
group are easily defended by the capabilities resident in that strike
group,” Harris said.
Getting
lyrical, the admiral reassured Congress of U.S. military might.
“If
it flies it will die, if it’s flying against the Carl Vinson strike
group,” he
said, referring to North Korean missiles.
Still,
Harris insists, the threat is significant enough that the U.S.
actually needs more firepower in the Pacific.
“The
United States may need to strengthen its missile defense,
particularly in Hawaii,” Reuters writes, “given
the advancing threat from North Korea’s missile and nuclear weapons
programs, the top U.S. commander in the Pacific told Congress
Wednesday.”
According
to the U.S. military, the initial deployments of the THAAD system in
South Korea will be operational within days,
just about the time the Carl Vinson strike group is scheduled
to arrive at
the peninsula.

April
28, 2017 "Information
Clearing House" - Not everyone likes to hear about the
threat of nuclear war. Some find refuge in denial and say that
nuclear war is impossible because it makes no sense. Unfortunately,
humankind has a long record of doing things that make no sense.
In previous posts in recent years I have pointed out both written documents and changes in US war doctrine that indicate that Washington is preparing a preemptive nuclear attack on Russia and China. More recently, I have shown that Washington’s demonization of Russia and President Putin, the incessant lies about Russian deeds and intentions, and the refusal of Washington to cooperate with Russia on any issue have convinced the Russian government that Washington is preparing the Western populations for an attack on Russia. It is obvious that China has come to the same conclusion.
It is extremely dangerous to all of mankind for Washington to convince two nuclear powers that Washington is preparing a preemptive nuclear strike against them. It is impossible to imagine a more reckless and irresponsible act. Yet this is precisely what Washington has done.
Lt. Gen. Viktor Poznikhir, Deputy Head of Operations of the Russian General Staff has concluded that Washington in pursuit of global hegemony is implementing an anti-ballistic missile system that Washington believes can prevent a Russian nuclear response to a US pre-emptive attack. http://www.fort-russ.com/2017/04/us-forces-preparing-sudden-nuclear.html
Careful studies have convinced the Russians that Washington is investing in and arranging components that have no other function than to devastate Russia and cripple the country’s retaliatory capability. In short, Washington is preparing to launch a nuclear war. https://www.rt.com/news/386276-us-missile-shield-russia-strike/
As I explained previously, the theory behind this insane scheme is that after America’s preemptive strike Russia will be so devastated that Russia would not retaliate with any remaining forces out of fear that Washington would launch a second major strike. Washington also plans to use agents in place to assassinate as many members as possible of the Russian government, thus leaving the government in confusion without leadership.
Yes, the insane American/Israeli neoconservatives are this determined to exercise hegemony over the world.
Yes, Washington is sufficiently criminally insane to risk the destruction of life on earth based on the supposition that Washington’s offense will work perfectly and Russia and China’s capabilities will be so degraded that no retaliatory response will occur.
One might hope that the American and Western populations would be outraged that Washington is so power-crazed that Washington is subjecting all life to such risks. But there is no sign of an anti-war movement. The Western leftwing has degenerated into Identity Politics in which the only threat comes from white heterosexual males who are portrayed as misogynists, racists, and homophopes. The Western leftwing is no longer war-conscious. Indeed, the leftwing has become diverted into such silly irrelevancies as transgender rights to toilets of their choice. The impotence of the Western left is so overwhelming that the left might as well not exist.
Where then is the hope? Russia and China cannot simply sit there and await America’s preemptive nuclear strike.
Possibly Washington does not intend a preemptive strike, but only to convince Russia and China that Washington’s preparations give Washington so much predominance in a conflict that Russia and China will submit to Washington’s hegemony. But this interpretation of Washington’s intention implies no less risk. Why would Russia and China wait for Washington to complete its preparations for war, preparations that permit Washington to turn Russia and China into puppet states?
The US military/security complex has clearly prevailed over Trump’s intention to normalize relations between the US and Russia, and anti-Russian venom continues to pour out of NATO and Washington’s European vassal states. The majority of the American people seem to have accepted the propaganda that Russia is the number one threat to the United States. With propaganda controlling the explanation, Washington’s aggressive actions are explained as defense against a threat and not as a policy that will end life on earth.
The
chances are high that life on earth is approaching its end. The
responsibility lies heavily on the American people, whose success,
due to the mistakes of others, made Americans think that they are
exceptional and privileged. Unaware of the inhumane threat to all
life that is embodied in the neoconservative claim that Americans are
exceptional and indispensable, the self-satisfied American public is
unaware of the consequences of such hubris. Hubris is leading them,
and the entire world, to slaughter in thermo-nuclear war.
The neoconservative claim of American exceptionalism is the identical claim made for Germans by Hitler. If Americans are indispensable, everyone else is dispensable and can be “bombed into the stone age” as one US government official put it, or nuked as Washington intends to do to Russia and China. The claim of American exceptionalism is not accepted by Russia and China. Therefore, the insane, crazed monsters who rule over the West in Washington are bringing life on earth to an end.
And there are no protests. The idiot British, the idiot Germans, the idiot French, Italians, Canadians, Australians, Belgians, Greeks, Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese, rally behind the insanity that is Washington.
And so apparently do the American people, a population stupid beyond all belief.

He was columnist for Business Week, Scripps Howard News Service, and Creators Syndicate. He has had many university appointments. His internet columns have attracted a worldwide following.

* 'Kernproeven', althans zoals de reguliere westerse pers en westerse politici in navolging van de VS en de bluf van de Noord-Koreanen, deze proeven noemen. Vreemd genoeg werd er na geen Noord-Koreaanse ondergrondse kernproef, radioactieve straling gemeten, iets dat normaal wel te meten is na een ondergrondse kernproef. M.a.w. de Noord-Koreanen brengen een enorme hoeveelheid springstof tot ontploffing, zoveel dat deze eenzelfde 'aardbeving' teweeg brengt, als die door een ondergrondse kernproef opgewekt.......
