The Duran has the article Angry China warns US on North Korea: back off and talk or risk disaster.

The People’s Daily then goes on to point out that it is US intransigence – specifically the US’s failure to abide by the agreements it reached with Pyongyang in the 1990s, and its refusal to negotiate with North Korea since then – which have brought the present situation about

It is fact that the DPRK missile and nuclear programs stalled during bilateral and multilateral talks, but multiplied over the past nine years since the six-party talks came to grinding halt, during which the United States sought to pressure and sanction Pyongyang.

Isn’t it ironic that we can only hear the other side of the story from Chinese and Russian media? We used to think that the Chinese and Soviet citizens were hampered by lack of access to truthful news. Now it seems that we are the ones who are being played the fools.

At least we have the internet until the corporate media gain control over it.

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard has the post Rep. Tulsi Gabbard Statement on North Korea’s Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Test.

“The North Korean regime witnessed the regime change wars the U.S. led in Libya and Iraq and what we’re now doing in Syria, and fear they will become like Gadhafi who, after giving up his nuclear weapons program, was deposed by the United States.

This is one of the points I try to make. Kim Jong-Un is not acting like he is crazy. He sees how we behave in the rest of the world. He notices that the only countries we show any deference to are the ones with nuclear weapons. Our behavior is what makes countries want nuclear weapons.

The Washington Journal has the article President Carter Just Gave Trump Urgent Advice On His North Korean Warmongering.

“During all these visits, the North Koreans emphasized that they wanted peaceful relations with the United States and their neighbors, but were convinced that we planned a preemptive military strike against their country. They wanted a peace treaty (especially with America) to replace the ceasefire agreement that had existed since the end of the Korean War in 1953, and to end the economic sanctions that had been very damaging to them during that long interim period….”

These comments from Jimmy Carter add a lot of information that seems to have been lost to the collective memories of our political “leaders” and the corporate press. Very few regular citizens seem to be aware of this information. Many of the people who did once know of this have had the information erased from their memories by the propaganda of our corporate press.

NBC news thinks that airing the SNL parody “Weekend Update” is fake news. They just don’t want to get it. It is not that obvious comedy is fake news. Fake news is what the apparent serious corporate press tries to tell us that we know isn’t true. So their labeling SNL as fake news is itself fake news.
