“Die for a Tie” — How the Korean War Began
by David Swanson – Global ResearchAn excerpt from the just published book “War Is A Lie” http://warisalie.orgAfter two world wars with a depression in between, none of which Americans had submitted to voluntarily, President Harry S Truman had some bad news. If we didn’t set off immediately to fight communists in Korea, they would shortly invade the United States. That this was recognized as patent nonsense is perhaps suggested by the fact that, once again, Americans had to be drafted if they were going to go off and fight. The Korean War was waged in supposed defense of the way of life in the United States and in supposed defense of South Korea against aggression by North Korea. Of course it had been the arrogant genius of the Allies to slice the Korean nation in half at the end of World War II.
On June 25, 1950, the north and the south each claimed the other side had invaded. The first reports from U.S. military intelligence were that the south had invaded the north. Both sides agreed that the fighting began near the west coast at the Ongjin peninsula, meaning that Pyongyang was a logical target for an invasion by the south, but an invasion by the north there made little sense as it led to a small peninsula and not to Seoul. Also on June 25th, both sides announced the capture by the south of the northern city of Haeju, and the U.S. military confirmed that. On June 26th, the U.S. ambassador sent a cable confirming a southern advance: “Northern armor and artillery are withdrawing all along the line.”
South Korean President Syngman Rhee had been conducting raids of the north for a year and had announced in the spring his intention to invade the north, moving most of his troops to the 38th parallel, the imaginary line along which the north and south had been divided. In the north only a third of available troops were positioned near the border. Nonetheless, Americans were told that North Korea had attacked South Korea, and had done so at the behest of the Soviet Union as part of a plot to take over the world for communism.
Arguably, whichever side attacked, this was a civil war. The Soviet Union was not involved, and the United States ought not to have been. South Korea was not the United States, and was not in fact anywhere near the United States. Nonetheless, we entered another “defensive” war. We persuaded the United Nations that the north had invaded the south, something the Soviet Union might have been expected to veto had it been behind the war, but the Soviet Union was boycotting the United Nations and took no interest. We won some countries’ votes at the United Nations by lying to them that the south had captured tanks manned by Russians. U.S. officials publicly declared Soviet involvement but privately doubted it.
The Soviet Union, in fact, did not want a war and on July 6th its deputy foreign minister told the British ambassador in Moscow that it wanted a peaceful settlement. The U.S. ambassador in Moscow thought this was genuine. Washington didn’t care. The North, our government said, had violated the 38th parallel, that sacred line of national sovereignty. But as soon as U.S. General Douglas MacArthur got the chance, he proceeded, with President Truman’s approval, right across that line, into the north, and up to the border of China. MacArthur had been drooling for a war with China and threatening it, and asked for permission to attack, which the Joint Chiefs of Staff refused. Eventually, Truman fired MacArthur. Attacking a power plant in North Korea that supplied China, and bombing a border city, was the closest MacArthur got to what he wanted.
But the U.S. threat to China brought the Chinese and Russians into the war, a war that cost Korea two million civilian lives and the United States 37,000 soldiers, while turning Seoul and Pyongyang both into piles of rubble. Many of the dead had been killed at close range, slaughtered unarmed and in cold-blood by both sides. And the border was right back where it had been, but the hatred directed across that border greatly increased. When the war ended, having accomplished no good for anyone but weapons makers, “people emerged from a mole-like existence in caves and tunnels to find a nightmare in the bright of day.”

Late-term forced abortions coming soon to a country near you
China forces woman into abortion at EIGHT months for breaching one-child policy
Are you ready for this to begin in the West..? Coercive and forced population control has happened in many western countries, including the US. China’s brutal one child policy has been praised liberally by western eco-zealots, social darwinists, eugenicists, royalty, and their foundation-funded academic toadies. Our little carbon monsters are next in the crosshairs. We’re already being slow-killed and sterilized, but just wait a few years for the real kill-off.
Who are we to judge the Chinese Government, though? We perform late-term abortions willingly in the West. As individuals, we can try to bring some awareness to this and reduce our consumption of cheap imports from China as much as possible, buying domestic, local, quality made stuff from reputable companies, and not supporting a system that literally eats babies (caution, graphic) and renders executed prisoners’ collagen for make-up.
A change in the focus of China’s industry would go a long way toward taking the pressure off the Chinese people by allowing them to invest their assets and time in their own society, rather than manfacturing products for us that we should manufacture ourselves.
(DailyMail) – An eight-months pregnant woman was dragged from her home and forced to have an abortion because she had broken China’s one-child-per-family law.
Twelve government officials entered Xiao Aiying’s house where they hit and kicked her in the stomach, before taking her kicking and screaming to hospital.
There, the 36-year-old was restrained as doctors injected her with a drug to kill the unborn baby. Read More Here
While I’m on the subject, we’re a bunch of suckers and morons for letting corporations ship most of our manufacturing infrastructure overseas. If the Chinese are smart, they will shift their (formerly our) manufacturing toward supporting their own domestic markets. They’re already starting to do this by reducing rare earth metal exports.
Most of what we “produce” here in the US now amounts to financial fraud, bureaucracy, and of course weapons and war. Unfortunately, the rest of the world is finding it rather difficult to refuse to import these “goods.”

Employer health care costs to jump 9% in 2011
“NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — Companies that offer health plans will see their costs jump 9% in 2011, and most employees will pay higher deductibles as a result, said a report released Monday.
Employers will try to offset cost increases by requiring their workers to shell out more cash before coverage kicks in, according to a survey of 700 employers by PricewaterhouseCoopers.”
How shocking! The “healthcare reform” made anyone who did not purchase healthcare, a criminal. Yes check the bill, it has nothing to do with “giving people” health insurance, it has everything to do with “forcing people to buy” health insurance. If you don’t buy it, you face fines and jail time. This is nothing like your car insurance, which you don’t have to buy if you don’t drive! This is literally a tax on anyone who is alive in this country.
Now, if I’ve managed to set it up, so that you have to buy something from me, or else you go to prison…. Guess how much that something is going to cost? AS MUCH AS I CAN GET FROM YOU! Whatever you have, thats how much it costs, and I want the same amount every month or it’s off to prison where I’ll work you like a slave anyway.
Don’t be a sucker

Citigroup announces possible bank holiday
Warns customers it “reserves the right” to delay withdrawals from checking accounts for seven days.
This notice was sent to customers nationwide:
“Effective April 1, 2010, we reserve the right to require (7) days advance notice before permitting a withdrawal from all checking accounts. While we do not currently exercise this right and have not exercised it in the past, we are required by law to notify you of this change,”
Citigroup later claimed that it was a mistake and only applied to residents of Texas. They later released the following statement:
Citibank has now released the following statement by way of explanation: “When Citibank moved to unlimited FDIC coverage in 2009, we had to reclassify many checking accounts to allow for immediate withdrawals in order to ensure all customers qualified for the additional coverage. When we moved back to standard FDIC coverage with most major banks in 2010, Citibank decided to reclassify those accounts back to make them eligible again for promotional incentives. To do so, Federal Reserve Reg D requires these accounts, called NOW accounts, to reserve the right to require a 7-day notice of withdrawal. We recently communicated this technical requirement to our customers. However, we have never exercised this right and have no plans to do so in the future.” [futureofcapitalism.com]

Media psyop equates being home-schooled with being uneducated
This is a scripted, psychological warfare operation against self-determination and the rights of families and children.
If the school board has to approve home-school curriculum, what’s the point of home schooling? Statistically, home-schooled kids perform better in life than public-schooled kids. US public educated children score abysmally on standardized tests compared to most other developed nations.
You are free to do as we tell you.
A Montgomery County couple has been arrested on child endangerment charges for failing to register their children with the school district as they were home-schooled, the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office said Monday.
Richard Cressy, 47, and Margie Cressy, 41, both of the town of Glen, never registered their four children or their home-schooling curriculum with the local school district, said the Sheriff’s Office.
The Superintendent of the Fonda-Fultonville Central School District confirmed the four children, ranging in age from 8 to 14, had not been registered with the school district for the last seven years.
The Cressys were issued appearance tickets to appear in the Town of Glen Court at a later date. The case has been turned over to the Montgomery County District Attorney and the Child Protective Unit.

Michigan house resolution would prevent being forced onto a public health care plan
This proposed amendment to Michigan’s constitution would affirm that you can not be forced to buy health insurance, and you can’t be penalized for paying directly for health care services.
It would preserve the freedom to choose what kind of health-related services you want to pay for on the open market.
It should be noted that this would not preclude the expansion of Medicaid to include preventative care. This still allows for a public OPTION. (Read: option. this is not Communist China)
All Michigan residents need to get behind this resolution. I’ll post an update when I know more about this and will try to get some contact info up here so we can call in when it goes up for a vote.
