Washington Propaganda Over
North Korea Exploits Fear

Sanctions against North Korea are nothing
new, not a big deal, and known to be
ineffective. Even mainstream newspapers say
this. I view them as a sign of Obama’s
weakness and as propaganda. They show his
weakness because they respond to the more
extreme warmongers and fearmongers that
inhabit the Senate, like John McCain. Obama
makes moves like this to deflect and defuse
criticism that he’s not doing enough against
“enemies”. They are propaganda when someone
like Treasury Secretary Lew
makes statements like these:
“Treasury Secretary Jacob
J. Lew said in a statement that Washington
had a ‘commitment to hold North Korea
accountable for its destructive and
destabilising conduct.’
“Lew said that even as a
probe by the FBI continued ‘these steps
underscore that we will employ a broad set
of tools to defend U.S. businesses and
citizens, and to respond to attempts to
undermine our values or threaten the
national security of the United States.'”
The prime emotional
purpose of Washington’s propaganda is to
KEEP FEAR ALIVE in Americans, so that they
will accept the role of the state as their
ardent defender. Behind every aggression of
the state, from minimum wage to social
security to Obamacare to drone warfare,
there is the same method. Raise and
exaggerate a fear so as to appear the knight
on a white horse. The number of possible
fears is large and the tendency of human
beings to be fearful is enormous, starting
with the fear of death. The desire of
libertarians to reduce aggression faces the
barrier of human fear. This barrier is
continually renewed by Washington and by
media.
