How to Deal With a Psychopath: Give Him Nuclear Bombs
By Paul Joseph Watson
In late 2002, North Korea carried out its threat to remove UN seals and
dismantle monitoring cameras at a laboratory used to produce weapons-grade
plutonium. In January 2003 the country withdrew from the Nuclear
Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), which seeks to control the spread of nuclear
technology. The country threatened countless times to utilize its nuclear
arsenal, which is already vast according to many experts.

On Christmas Eve 2002, Pyongyang vowed to "destroy the earth" if anyone
interfered with its interests. A similar threat was issued on February 6th
2003 when North Korea publicly stated it would wage "total war" on the
United States by way of a pre-emptive nuclear strike. Propaganda posters
from the country show missiles hitting the White House and other famous
landmarks, along with North Korean soldiers depicted as giants, crushing
American soldiers in their hands.
North Korea is controlled by a hereditary Stalinist dictatorship that has
starved two million of its citizens to death in favour of building a
million-man army. Some people put the figure at four million, one-quarter of
the population. In the far north of the country there is a network of forced
labor gulags (pictured below) where people who have 'expressed a bland
political opinion' are, along with their entire families, tortured, raped
and executed. Horrific bio-chemical experiments are performed on mass
numbers of people. Babies are delivered and then stamped to death by the
camp guards. If the mother screams while the guards are stamping on the baby
's neck, she is immediately assassinated by a firing squad. These guards are
rewarded with bonuses and promotions for ripping out prisoners' eyeballs.
MSNBC published satellite photos of the concentration camps,
"Plainly visible are acres upon acres of barracks, laid out in regimented
military style. Surrounding each of them is 10-foot-high barbed-wire fencing
along with land mines and man traps. There is even a battery of
anti-aircraft guns to prevent a liberation by airborne troops."
Does this sound like a regime that would respond to 'diplomatic negotiations
'? Saddam Hussein is a puppy compared to Kim Jong-Il and yet where is the
invasion of North Korea? Where are the forces of the 'free' world? The New
American magazine succinctly outlined the difference between North Korea and
Iraq,
"Crippled by the 1991 UN-led Gulf War, intermittent bombings by U.S. and
British aircraft, and 12 years of devastating sanctions, Saddam's military
poses little threat to Iraq's neighbors, let alone the United States. North
Korea, on the other hand, boasts the world's fourth-largest military; it has
37,000 U.S. troops within easy striking range of its artillery. Seoul, the
South Korean capital, is 34 miles away from the demilitarized zone and well
within striking distance of North Korean artillery tubes. And Kim's regime
has successfully tested the Taepo Dong, a missile capable of hitting Japan;
the missile's next generation may be able to strike Alaska."
President Bush publicly claims to loathe Kim Jong-Il and yet his
administration has, like Bill Clinton's before him, armed North Korea to the
teeth with anything up to and beyond 200 nuclear bombs.
Every other month the media report on how the US continues to transfer
highly sensitive material to North Korea, all the while fear mongering about
how it's not a matter of if but when a city gets nuked. This isn't merely a
case of double standards - it's absolute lunacy. Under the 1994 Agreed
Framework, the Clinton administration agreed to replace North Korea's
domestically built nuclear reactors with light water nuclear reactors.
So-called government-funded 'experts' stated that light water reactors
couldn't be used to make bombs. Not so according to Henry Sokolski, head of
the Non-proliferation Policy Education Centre in Washington,
"LWRs could be used to produce dozens of bombs' worth of weapons-grade
plutonium in both North Korea and Iran. This is true of all LWRs -- a
depressing fact U.S. policymakers have managed to block out."
Sokolski has also gone on the record as saying,
"These reactors are like all reactors, they have the potential to make
weapons. So you might end up supplying the worst nuclear violator with the
means to acquire the very weapons we're trying to prevent it acquiring."
The U.S. State Department contends that the light water reactors cannot be
used to produce bomb grade material and yet in 2002 urged Russia to end its
nuclear co-operation with Iran for the reason that it doesn't want Iran
armed with weapons of mass destruction. Russia is building light water
reactors in Iran. The State Department announced on its own web site,
"In the official answer to a question asked at the January 31 State
Department daily briefing, the State Department said the United States has
"consistently urged Russia to cease all [nuclear] cooperation with Iran,
including its assistance to the light water reactor at Bushehr."
"We have underscored to Russia that an end to Russian nuclear assistance to
Iran would allow the United States and Russia to reap the full promise of
our new strategic relationship, benefiting Russia economically and
strategically far more than any short-term gain from construction of
additional reactors or other sensitive transfers to Iran."
So, according to the State Department, light water reactors in Iran can
produce nuclear material but somehow the same rule doesn't apply in North
Korea.
More hypocrisy is encountered when we learn that the United States' closest
ally Britain has also shipped bomb grade material to Iran. Sources for the
BBC disclosed that the UK government rubber stamped the shipment of key
nuclear weapons-grade material to Iran, who have publicly stated their
desire to build an atomic bomb,
"The programme has also interviewed a leading nuclear weapons expert in the
UK who says that the Beryllium and other items which the DTI has licensed to
Iran add up to a shopping list for a nuclear weapons programme."
Many questioned why, in late September 2001, UK Foreign Secretary Jack Straw
was suddenly dispatched to Iran to meet with Iranian President Mohammad
Khatami. Behind the public facade of 'diplomatic discussion' it is now clear
that Straw was bartering for the sale of metal beryllium, a key component
for the manufacture of nuclear weapons. This, despite a ban on the sale of
arms to Iran under international protocol. Metal beryllium has virtually no
conventional use and is exclusive to the development of nuclear weapons.
Let us return to the issue of North Korea and light water reactors. Light
water reactors are far more expensive to build than coal or gas-fired plants
so we can safely conclude that arming North Korea's nuclear arsenal is not a
matter of saving money. On the contrary, it's like handing a psychopath a
loaded gun.
The 1994 Agreed Framework deal gave North Korea the capacity to generate
enough nuclear fuel to produce almost 100 nuclear bombs per year. A 1999
congressional study undertaken by the House North Korea Advisory Group
warned,
"Through the provision of two light water reactors [LWRs] under the 1994
Agreed Framework, the United States, through KEDO, will provide North Korea
with the capacity to produce annually enough fissile material for nearly 100
nuclear bombs, should the Democratic People's Republic of Korea [DPRK]
decide to violate the Nonproliferation Treaty [NPT]."
The group further cautioned that the country that receives the largest
amount of U.S. foreign aid in the Asia-Pacific region now has the ability to
strike the mainland United States with chemical, biological or nuclear
weapons. Two renowned nuclear scientists briefed the panel. They were Dr.
Victor Gilinsky, a former Member of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission during
the Ford and Carter administrations and former head of the Physical Sciences
Department at the RAND Corporation, and Dr. William R. Graham, a former
Science Advisor to President Reagan and Deputy Administrator of NASA. The
scientists cautioned,
"The light water reactors could produce about 500 kilograms of plutonium
annually. They are so much larger than the facilities North Korea stopped
building, they will actually produce more plutonium than the gas graphite
plants they will replace."
If the United States government were really interested in upholding vital
national security interests, they would immediately halt the construction of
reactors and all aid to North Korea, and yet under the 'conservative' Bush
regime the Clinton program to arm North Korea is being implemented. The
North Korean people are enslaved by a government that is using food as a
weapon. Perhaps this is why The EU and the United States, via the UN World
Food Program, resumed the shipment of hundreds of thousands of tons in food
aid at the end of February 2003. This goes directly to the sitting
dictatorship, which then decides who gets it by their level of allegiance to
the state. Food aid only increases the power of Kim Jong-Il and yet it is
veiled by the UN in bleeding heart humanitarian rhetoric. The money goes
straight to enabling the North Korean leadership to live in the lap of
westernized luxury with casinos and lavish new cars (there's that working
class communist ethic shining through).
In April 2002 the Bush administration announced that it would release $95
million of American taxpayer's dollars to begin construction of the
'harmless' light water reactors. Bush argued that arming the megalomaniac
dictator Kim Jong-Il with the potential to produce a hundred nukes a year
was, "vital to the national security interests of the United States." Bush
released even more money in January 2003, as reported by Bloomberg News,
"President George W. Bush is seeking $3.5 million for the international
consortium that continues to build two nuclear reactors for North Korea,
even as the U.S. confronts the communist regime over nuclear arms."
The company that got the contract to deliver equipment and services to build
the two light water reactor stations was ABB (Asea Brown Boveri), which
describes itself as, "a leader in power and automation technologies that
enable utility and industry customers to improve performance while lowering
environmental impact." The contract was valued at $200 million and was
signed in January 2000.
It should not surprise us that our old friend Donald Rumsfeld, the man who
paved the way for U.S. companies to sell Iraq chemical and biological
weapons in 1983, was an executive director for ABB from 2000-2001. Rumsfeld
resigned when he was appointed U.S. Secretary of Defense. Wolfram
Eberhardt, a spokesman for ABB confirmed that Rumsfeld was at nearly all the
board meetings during his involvement with the company. The meetings were
held quarterly in Zurich, Switzerland. However, Rumsfeld again displays his
uncanny ability to forget things in stating that he 'doesn't remember' the
issue of North Korea being brought before the ABB board. Swiss Info
concluded,
"Rumsfeld's position at ABB could prove embarrassing for the Bush
administration since while he was a director he was also active on issues of
weapons proliferation, chairing the 1998 congressional Ballistic Missile
Threat commission."
Rumsfeld would obviously have been a major influence in settling the
contract that ensured Kim Jong-Il got his dirty hands on that nuclear
material. In every single instance, where there's a crazy dictator to be
armed, the same names step on up to arm him. These criminals do care about
the consequences of their actions, because their actions are designed to
obtain a specific consequence. If there's a despot that expresses a desire
kill millions of people, the Globalists always ensure the despot has the
tools to do it.
The ultimate agenda behind arming North Korea is to later invade the country
and acquire a staging ground to challenge Chinese dominance of North East
Asia. China is well aware that any U.S. led takeover of the country will
result in American troops stationed on China's Manchurian border.
Within Chinese political and military circles, it is universally
acknowledged that one of the strategic aims of future American aggression
against North Korea is to position the U.S. for a devastating confrontation
with China. Perhaps the Chinese should expect this because they continue to
provide North Korea with chemical, biological and nuclear-arms goods and
missile systems.
Many analysts agree that a looming U.S.-China clash will be the catalyst for
world war three. Rest assured, the whole thing was planned that way.

I think it's all going to fast and is apt to
progress into a world wide financial breakdown.
