A Nobel Prize for Death to Trump

by
Trumpsters are hoping that President Trump is able to enter into a peace treaty with North Korea that brings an end to the Korean War. If Trump is successful, the Trumpsters say, then he should receive the Nobel Prize for Peace. Actually, if such a peace treaty does come to pass, it would be more appropriate for Trump to receive the Nobel Prize for Death. After all, the Trumpsters are praising Trump for pressuring North Korea into coming to the negotiating table. Let’s assume they are right. What pressure are they referring to? They are referring to the increasingly brutal system of sanctions that Trump and his national-security establishment are enforcing against North Korea. How would U.S. sanctions pressure North Korea into coming to the negotiating table and entering into a peace treaty? By killing large numbers of North Korean people. That’s what the U.S. sanctions are designed to do — to cause massive economic suffering and death by starvation and illness among the ...

Hold that Nobel on North Korea for Now

by
Trumpistas and President Trump himself are undoubtedly pacing the floor over whether the president will receive his Nobel Prize for securing peace in Korea after all, given North Korea’s threat yesterday to cancel the planned June 12 summit between North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un and Trump. Until yesterday, all that was left was the uncorking of the champagne bottles. Will Trump secure a deal with North Korea that will get him his Nobel? Anything is possible. But I’ve got my doubts. Why? As I have indicated before, both sides to the controversy — the U.S. government and the North Korean government — have positions that up to now have been intractable. The U.S. government wants North Korea to destroy its nuclear weapons and submit to extensive verification procedures. The North Korean government wants to be certain that it is being removed from the U.S. government’s list of regime-change targets. Here is one basic problem: The U.S. government, especially the Pentagon and the ...

JFK and the Inconceivable Doctrine, Part 2

by
Three years ago, I wrote an article entitled “JFK and the Inconceivable Doctrine,” in which I pointed how many lone-nut theorists in the JFK assassination have reached their conclusion based not on an examination of the circumstantial evidence in the case but instead simply on the notion that it is inconceivable that the U.S. national-security establishment would have carried out a domestic regime-change operation by assassinating an American president. I would invite readers to read or review that article. The purpose of this article is to elaborate on this theme. A lone-theorist might say, “Jacob, it is just inconceivable that the CIA and the Pentagon would engage in assassination.” Yet, the evidence is overwhelming that both the Pentagon and the CIA have assassinated people and, in fact, continue to assassinate people. The circumstantial evidence indicates that as far back as 1953 the CIA was specializing in the art of assassination. That fact is demonstrated by the discovery in the 1990s of a ...
