Question: If wars create vast sums of money for the global elite, then could North Korea be a fabricated enemy ala the Soviets, the Viet Cong, Muslims etc, etc?
I have been wondering whether there are enough natural enemies left in the modern world to lead to genuine wars involving superpowers…After recently researching the history of false flag operations, I would have to say no…Otherwise, why would there be a need for any of these false flag attacks? If the countries in question were invading other nations in broad daylight, then surely there’d be no need to fabricate anything.
A false flag operation is basically the act of committing a terrorist event or an act of war and having others blamed for that event. Usually those “others” are either mineral-rich countries (e.g. Iraq, Afghanistan) or geographically important nations (e.g. Vietnam, Cuba).
False flag terrorism is employed by governments and intelligence agencies all over the world. It is cleverly orchestrated propaganda designed to provoke specific reactions from the masses in the build up to war.
Ancient Rome
Roman emperor Nero is said to be responsible for one of the first false flag operations. Most historians concur that Nero was the perpetrator of the Great Fire of Rome in 64 AD in which a third of the city was torched. Nero’s motivation was to build Domus Aurea, an enormous building that would include the Colossus of Nero – none other than a statue of himself! Before to the fire, the Senate had blocked the emperor’s proposal to destroy a third of the city to make way for this complex.
According to Roman historian Tacitus (56 AD – 117 AD), Nero told the Roman population that the Christians (whom Rome were at that time at war with) were responsible for the fire…
The U.S. Government’s proposal to kill American citizens
In the early Sixties during the conflict with Cuba, the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff proposed carrying out acts of terrorism inside the United States.
Operation Northwoods’ ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods ) plans included the sinking of U.S. war ships, bombs in major American cities, shooting down hijacked American passenger planes, and killing innocent American citizens. Every event would be blamed on Fidel Castro and the Cuban regime. The Joint Chiefs of Staff’s logic was that these events would help gain enough support from the American public and the world at large for a U.S. military invasion of Cuba.
Fortunately President Kennedy rejected the plan in 1962. However, the following year Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas.
The Vietnam War
On August 4, 1964, President Lyndon Johnson alerted his fellow Americans on national television that North Vietnam had attacked the USS Maddox in the Gulf of Tonkin.
Not long afterward, Congress passed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, which gave Johnson the green light to begin military operations against North Vietnam. American troops were soon stationed in Vietnam and neighboring countries and the ensuing war ended up costing approximately 60,000 American lives and three million Vietnamese.
The thing is, President Johnson and his Secretary of Defense, Robert McNamara, had successfully hoodwinked the American people. North Vietnam had not attacked the USS Maddox, as the Pentagon claimed, and the so-called “unequivocal” evidence of a second attack by the North Vietnamese is now commonly acknowledged as being a false report…The Gulf of Tonkin Incident ( http://fair.org/media-beat-column/30-year-anniversary-tonkin-gulf-lie-launched-vietnam-war/ ) was nothing but a phantom attack on the U.S. Military.
WWII was the last legitimate major war, I believe…Nearly all the other wars since (especially Iraq I and II, Vietnam and the various Afghan wars) have just been money spinners spawned by the fear of fabricated enemies or at least unproven enemies.
This all leads to other questions…
Were Communists ever a valid threat?
When the U.S. pulled out of Vietnam, why didn’t the much hyped Domino Theory( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domino_theory ) ever occur? Why weren’t most other Asian countries overrun by Communism as expected?
Is it realistic to have a war on “terror” instead of a regular war against a certain nation or group of nations? Can bearded nomads living in caves really be a genuine threat to superpowers?
And can isolated and impoverished nations like North Korea prevent world peace if the rest of the world wants peace? Would North Korean president, Kim Jong Un, actually order his military to fire nuclear weapons and incite war? If so, what would be in it for North Korea when they’d obviously be committing suicide by inviting the rest of the world to invade their own country within days? And can any leader of any nation really be that stupid?
And why is it leaders of such independent countries (e.g. Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, Libya) are always portrayed as madmen while the likes of George W. Bush are said to be completely sane?
Maybe world leaders (and the invisible puppet masters who pull their strings) are not that different from Rome’s Emperor Nero all those centuries ago…
That’s my two cents worth regarding the current North Korea situation. I don’t pretend to have all of the answers, but I figure one must study the past to understand the present. Then again, I could be totally wrong and maybe North Korea is about to nuke us all!

Succinct and to the point. I love that.
Cheers Marilynn.
I found this to be fascinating and shocking especially about American politicians conspiring to kill Americans back in the 60’s. I am defiantly linking this to my blog. Thanks for the info.
Reblogged this on Joshua's Life Blog and commented:
I found this blog about governments using red flags to gain the support of the people for war and how there really has been no threat since WWII. I highly suggest you read it.
Many thanks, Joshua.

I too feel the same way. Our country is gonna kill us, not some third world country
I’m not one of those conspiracy theorists who buys into every plot being spewed out there, but I was around when Eisenhower gave his Military Complex speech. Viet Nam never made any sense to me, though I was younger and believed Walter Cronkite. (Boy, does that age me!) My dad always said to follow the money trail. This holds true more now than ever before. We are on the precipice of a complete breakdown of our way of life. It used to be where it was so easy to make fun of the survivalists and preppers. I hope that the sheople will use critical thinking the next time our government says we have to invade, or worse, if there is a domestic attack. I thank my parents for raising me as an independent thinker with the ability to problem solve. Mostly, I’m grateful I was brought up on a farm and taught me life skills that will be instrumental to my family’s survival when the time comes. Guess it’s time to teach the kids how to shoot a bow and wrist-rocket.
Thanks for the nicely written and very informative article. Deceptions though are probably not only part of politics and wars, but rather an inherent phenomena in our existence. It is to be found in business, governing, trade, tourism, and almost any other aspect of our life. Our being is probably way closer to the matrix than many might realize or like to admit.
The Pathet Lao took over Laos and
the Khmer Rouge took over Cambodia led by Pol Pot. They were responsible for killing a quarter of
Cambodia’s population. Watch the “Killing Fields”.
So North Korea is a genuine threat to the military might of the US and its allies? Really?
