Proving that North Korea knows its propaganda, the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea [DPRK] accused the CIA and South Korean Intelligence Services of plotting a bio-terrorism attack on its 33-year-old Leader Kim Jong-un. Kim’s been playing a dangerous game of chicken with 70-year-old U.S. President Donald Trump. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson declared March 17 the end of U.S. “strategic patience” with North Korea’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs. Threatening to wipe the U.S. off the map with nuclear attack, Trump no longer has the luxury of waiting until Kim fulfills his dream of packing a nuclear warhead into an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile [ICBM]. Kim’s new accusation of a bio-terror plot panders to North Korea’s tightly controlled state media, forever hyping a U.S. or South Korean invasion to keep the beleaguered population on edge.
Taking another U.S. hostage Kim Hak-song today, Kim’s seeking as much leverage as possible to stave off more U.S.-brokered U.N. sanctions for its nuclear and ballistic missile program. North Korea’s State Security Agency called Kim’s attempted assassination “the last-ditch effort” of U.S. “imperialists,” insisting the U.S. and South Korean and gone “beyond the limits.” What’s so egregious about the bogus charge of by DPRK Security Services against the CIA is the fact that North Korean agents smeared VX nerve gas Feb. 13 on the face of Kim Jong-nam, the half-brother of Kim Jong-un. It’s not CIA or South Korean practices to use deadly nerve agents in assassination attempts. “The Central Intelligence Agency of the U.S. and the Intelligence Services [IS] of South Korean, hotbed of evils in the world, hatched this vicious plot to hurt supreme leadership of the DPRK . . . ,” said North Korea’s Security Ministry.
North Korea’s state-owned KCNA reported on the CIA and South Korean plot to assassinate Kim Jong-un. “A hideous terrorists’ group, which the CIA and IS infiltrated into the DPRK on the basis of covert and meticulous preparations to commit state-sponsored terrorism against the supreme leadership of the DPRK,” reported KCNA news. Only two months before, North Korean agents killed Kim’s half-brother in the Kuala Lumpur airport. Accusing the CIA of “ideologically corrupting” and “bribing” a North Korean named “Kim,” turning him into a “terrorist full repugnance and revenge against the supreme leadership of the DPRK,” KCNA reported from North Korean Security Services. Accusing the CIA and South Korean [IS] of hatching such a plot puts on full display the sophisticated nature of North Korean propaganda, forever blaming the West for its own misdeeds.
North Korea finds itself in a rapidly escalating propaganda war with the U.S., threatening to hit the U.S. mainland with nuke. Trump’s Defense Secretary James “Mad Dog” Mattis won’t sit idly by while North Korea threatens the U.S. with a nuclear attack. Thumbing his nose April 29 at Trump’s warnings, North Korea fired another failed short-range missile test. Despite warnings from China, Kim looks like he’s gearing up for another nuclear test, something that could prompt a strong U.S. military response. Hatching the bogus U.S.-South Korean biological weapons attack give Kim cover should the U.S. attack after Kim’s next nuclear test. “They hatched the plot of letting scum Kim commit bomb terrorism, targeting the supreme leadership during events at Kumsusan Palace of the Sun and at military parade and public procession after his return home,” said KCNA news, giving Kim an excuse..
Showcasing the latest nuclear armaments at April 15 parade commemorating the birth of North Korea’s founder Kim Il-sung, KCNA news insists the CIA and South Korean covert agents tried to assassinate Kim Jong-un. “They told him that assassination by use of biological substances including radioactive substance and nano poisonous substance is the best method that does not require access to the target, their lethal result will appear after six or twelve months,” said KCNA. Making up stories of heinous CIA or South Korean plots feeds the ongoing propaganda war that keeps North Korean citizens as paranoid as possible. U.S. officials can only respond by seeking more U.N. sanctions, despite knowing they won’t deter Kim from pursuing nukes and ICBMs. “Criminals going hell-bent to realize such a pipe dream cannot survive on the land even a moment,” said KCNA.
North Korea continues its propaganda war, unwilling to face the growing probability of a devastating U.S. military attack. Working with multilateral diplomacy during the Bush-43 and Obama administrations to contain North Korea’s growing nuclear threat, the U.S. got nowhere. When North Korean agents killed Kim Jong-un’s half-brother with VX nerve gas Feb. 13, it’s clear the DPRK would use an means to liquidate renegades and defectors. White House officials are finding out how little influence China actually has reining in the DPRK’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs. While developing better relations with the Kremilin can’t hurt, it’s unlikely to disarm Kim’s growing nuclear threat. Trump faces some tough choices if-and-when Kim detonates another nuclear test. Threatening the U.S. with nuclear attack, Kim Jong-un forced Trump’s hand with the next nuclear test.
