Title: Top Geopolitical Expert Issues Dire Warning: ‘Beware of False Flag’ Blamed on North Korea

After years of threatening to carry out a nuclear attack on the United States, North Korea is finally closer than it has ever been to fulfilling its notorious threat—according to politicians and mainstream media outlets across the country. But according to one geopolitical analyst, Americans should be more concerned about the possibility of a false flag attack.

In a report for Asia Times, analyst Pepe Escobar noted that the same people who are now saying that North Korea has created a miniaturized nuclear warhead capable of fitting its recently tested ICBM are the people who sold the lie that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

Western corporate media would hardly refrain from metastasizing pure speculation into a ‘North Korea has miniaturized nuclear weapons’ frenzy consuming the cable news cycle/ newspaper headlines,” Escobar wrote, noting that the latest rumors about North Korea’s nuclear capabilities stem from a recent report from Japan’s Defense Ministry that is based entirely on speculation. 

“So let’s look at the agendas in play. The War Party in the US, with its myriad connections in the industrial-military-media complex, obviously wants/needs war to keep the machinery oiled. Tokyo, for its part, would much appreciate a pre-emptive US military attack—and damn the inevitable, massive South Korean casualties that would result from Pyongyang’s counterpunch. 

It’s quite enlightening that Tokyo, for all practical purposes, considers China as a ‘threat’ as serious as North Korea; Defense Minister Itsunori Onodera went straight to the point when he said, ‘North Korea’s missiles represent a deepening threat. That, along with China’s continued threatening behavior in the East China Sea and South China Sea, is a major concern for Japan.’ Beijing’s response was swift.

One of the most important points Escobar makes is that “The War Party,” or the U.S. military industrial complex, “wants/needs war to keep the machinery oiled.” Because of this, Escobar warned that Americans should Beware of an engineered false flag, to be blamed on Pyongyang; that would be the perfect pretext for war.”

Indeed, the war drums are already having a steroid-like effect on the bottom lines of weapons companies with Lockheed Martin breaking all time stock market records.

In addition to being a large opium producer, Escobar also noted that North Korea holds trillions of US dollars in unexplored mineral wealth.” He warned that Americans should “Watch the shadow play by candidates bound to profit from such juicy loot.”

As The Free Thought Project reported, another important aspect to note is that while North Korea has been threatening to show the world its true nuclear power for more than a decade, the U.S. has enabled and funded the nation’s actions for more than half a century. As a result, “if North Korea does ever launch a nuke, it will be because the U.S. government and its assets helped to put it in their hands.”

 The fact that the U.S. government and the mainstream media have come together to promote the “imminent threat” of North Korea carrying out a nuclear attack on the U.S., serves a reminder of another time when the two entities united to push a propaganda campaign that got the U.S. into a war it is still fighting 14 years later.

Despite dire warnings from both politicians and MSM pundits that Hussein had weapons of mass destructions in Iraq, a classified report that was leaked in January 2016 confirmed that there was absolutely no evidence of WMDs. It also served as a reminder of the “utter deception carried out on the American people to support the invasion.”  

At the end of the day, if the U.S. was truly concerned about North Korea launching a nuclear attack, then it would not have been funding the nation’s actions in the first place, and the supposed imminent threats would be based on more than just speculative reports. If there are reports of such an attack, it is important to remember how well false flags—such as Iraq’s WMDs—have worked for the U.S. War Machine in the past.

Almost every war start with a false flag. But the problem is how to contain it.

Yeah, yeah, right.

The next thing is that you'll try to tell us that somehow WW II started on 9/1/1939 with some kind of false flag attack on Poland.

No, WW2 started in 1937 with Japanese attack on China.

There isn't much point in discussing anything if a bunch of contrarian cranks refuse to admit to the most basic of facts.

Historians have long agreed: the German blitzkrieg of Poland which began on 9/1/1939 started WW II because the interlocking mutual defense treaties of the era required both Britain and France to declare war on Germany. Which they did, resulting in the three major powers of Europe being at war.

Without the German attack on Poland and Britain/France declaring war in response, there would have been no WW II to speak of.

War between Germany, Poland, France and UK would not be a world war if you did not account Asian fronts. They were any way merged in 1941.

So either you require formal merge then 1941 is the start of world war, or you treat "separate" struggles as related, they you get 1937.

There is isn't much point in discussing anything if a bunch of rigid adherents to the recycled crude cliches have blinders narrowing their sight.

Justify much?

By "rigid adherents", you mean pretty much the entire international historic academic community, then yes.

I could make the obvious counterargument but I think you're debating in bad faith anyway.

It is not that have a hidden agenda or prejudice one way or another. Just framing it 1937 to 1945 makes it easier for me to reflect.

I love to think on my own as opposed to blind reliance on the prevailing views among authorities. Yes I consult them on occasion, but independent thinking is too great pleasure to resign from.

Among my heroes are discoverers who went against the current.

"World War II started in 1937 in Asia, not 1939 in Europe, says Oxford historian .... the war began with Japan’s conflict with China, not when Germany invaded Poland in 1939, the date most history books use. ...

Many history texts use 1939 as the date marking the start of the Second World War. More America-centric accounts use 1941, the year Japan attacked the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. ...

Prof Mitter’s book, The Forgotten Ally, points out that the terrible eight-year-long conflict took a massive toll on China, with more than 14 million Chinese dead. ...

By comparison, military and civilian casualties for the US and United Kingdom combined totaled around 900,000.

About 500 million Chinese became refugees ...

the continuing Chinese resistance, not just for one year but actually four and a half years before Pearl Harbor, essentially on its own (without support from other Allied forces), is such an important global turning point,” said Prof Mitter.

=====

While most in the western world believe World War II started with the Nazi invasion of Poland in 1939, there are a growing number of historians who believe the official date should be amended to 1937, when Japan began its full-scale invasion of China.

Robert Frank, Secretary General for the International Congress of Historical Sciences (ICHS), is one of the strongest advocates for the date change. He wrote his arguments in the book "1937-1947 World War", which was published in France in April.

Jointly written by 40 historians, it contains a specific chapter named "War begins in Asia." Other chapters elaborate on the resistance of Asian countries, the Japanese occupation, and the resistance and suffering of the Chinese population.

"In France we call it the war of 1939-1945. But it' s a world war. Not only a European war, and it did not begin in Europe," Frank said. "The war began here, in Asia."

"It must be surprising for European and French people. They are not accustomed to the date," Frank said. "But we want to break the classical Eurocentric chronology, showing the global history of a global war."

============

The first legal consolidation of German-Japanese mutual interests occurred in 1936, when the two countries then signed the Anti-Comintern Pact, which was directed against the Communist International (Comintern) in general and the Soviet Union in particular. After the signing, Nazi Germany's government also included the Japanese people in their concept of "honorary Aryans".[31] Yasuhito, Prince Chichibu then attended the 1937 Nuremberg Rally in Germany and met Adolf Hitler, with whom he tried to boost personal relations.[32] Fascist Italy, led by Benito Mussolini joined the pact the same year, initiating the formation of the so-called Axis between Rome, Berlin and Tokyo.

Then why do historians refer to it as the Second Sino-Japanese War instead of WWII?

Because Western historians prefer to see 1939 or 1941 as a beginning. Far Eastern historians have their own perspective.
