Neo-Cons Spin Dud Test To Hide Nuclear Hypocrisy

Drudge Report, Washington Times downplay blast to conceal stupidity of attacking Iran, source of North Korean nukes being Rumsfeld and Bush protected networks

Paul Joseph Watson/Prison Planet.com | October 10 2006

Neo-Cons have seized upon doubts about the scale of North Korea’s nuclear test to craft a talking point that the blast was a dud in an attempt to conceal the hypocrisy of hyping a war with a non-nuclear Iran in the face of North Korea’s open proliferation, and the fact that Kim Jong-il bought his weapons from arms networks that were protected by the Bush administration.

Bill Gertz and the Washington Times, usually the first to spit out volleys of rampant fearmongering, especially concerning Iran’s alleged nuclear agenda, are leading a chorus of government media mouthpieces in downplaying Sunday’s underground atomic test.

"U.S. intelligence agencies say, based on preliminary indications, that North Korea did not produce its first nuclear blast yesterday," writes Gertz.

"The underground explosion, which Pyongyang dubbed a historic nuclear test, is thought to have been the equivalent of several hundred tons of TNT, far short of the several thousand tons of TNT, or kilotons, that are signs of a nuclear blast, the official said."

The U.S. seems to be alone in its assessment that the blast was non-nuclear - with Russia even claiming the explosion was comparable to the bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945.

The Drudge Report, recently scorned for carrying erroneous stories that sought to defend the actions of Republican pervert and sexual predator Mark Foley, this morning carried the headline, "WAS IT A DUD?" underneath a jokey image of Kim Jong-il’s character from the comedy animation hit Team America.

The spin is implicit - Kim Jong-il is an inconsequential buffoon and his grandstand announcement that North Korea had joined the nuclear club was nothing but hot air.

Why are these bootlicking Neo-Con hacks, breaking from their usual feverish exaggeration of anything that makes the world more dangerous, changing the script and attempting to poo-poo North Korea’s actions?

Yesterday we reported that the wild card of the test could potentially derail planned air strikes on Iran because, as Mike Rivero pointed out, "It will be hard for Bush to sell an invasion of Iran because it might someday make nuclear weapons when North Korea definitely has them now."

The Neo-Con spin, that North Korea has not advanced to the point it claims and that the threat is diminished compared to more pressing targets of the Bush war machine, is intended to shield the hypocrisy of ignoring a nuclear-capable dictatorship that has threatened to destroy the world and fired test missiles that have hit Alaska, while obsessing about Iran, completely surrounded by U.S. client states and as much as fifteen years away from the bomb.

It is also an effort to offset questions about how Kim Jong-il acquired his arsenal in the first place.

Reports concerning developments in North Korea’s nuclear program are routinely absent the "memory-holed" fact that it was Donald Rumsfeld, former non-executive director of ABB, that signed off on a $200 million dollar contract to sell nuclear reactors to the Stalinist state in November 2000.

In addition, it has now been confirmed that the A.Q. Khan network was directly connected to the feasibility of Sunday’s test, having "through his network, transferred to North Korea "nearly two dozen" P-1 centrifuges, and the more sophisticated P-11 centrifuges," according to the London Independent.

It was at the behest of the Bush administration that investigations into Khan Research Laboratories, the Pakistani agency in charge of the bomb project, were thwarted.

"According to both sources and documents obtained by the BBC, the Bush Administration spike of the investigation of Dr. Khan’s Lab followed from a wider policy of protecting key Saudi Arabians including the Bin Laden family," writes BBC reporter Greg Palast.

North Korea’s bold entry into the nuclear club could not have been achieved without the help of the Bush administration and Donald Rumsfeld. Allied to the desperate need to legitimize air strikes against Iran, Sunday’s events have created a fissure in the Neo-Con agenda that may demand an urgent change to the script.

  • on the money!!!

  • The sewage from this godawful, treacherous, gangster White House just doesn’t stop, does it?

  • The neo-cons have never and will never accept ANY responsibility for anything, and so the cover-up must begin.
    The whitehouse is like one large kitty litter box with this administration. They spend most of their time creating propaganda and purchasing COVER-UP.
    Didn’t we all expect that if they looked foolish for calling a bluff that wouldn’t work, they would have to go to plan (P) propaganda. So now we find that N.Korea didn’t test a nuclear bomb at all.
    Thank God for Bush, he saved us from EVIL once again.

    • Whether the North Koreans’ atomic blast yielded 9 or 10 kilotons is a moot point. Not only do they have nuclear weapons, but they also have the ICBMs to deliver them over 2,000 miles.

      The Iranians are at least a decade away from achieving this status and yet the White Whorehouse spins this away as practically nothing, for their main target remains Iran, which has infinitely more oil than Korea. The White Whorehouse believes that the only way to dominate the world in the 21st Century is by controlling the oil supply. This strategy is no secret to most of the world, the rest of the world doesn’t feed off the half-truths that CNN and FAUX News spew daily for their intellectually challenged American masses.

      But this neocon strategy of controlling Middle Eastern oil was a lost cause from the very beginning. The world is swimming in oil, look at the Caspian Sea, look at Nigeria, look at Venezuela and Brazil.

      This latest North Korean episode shows anyone with a half-brain that the real intentions of the White House have nothing to do with controlling nuclear proliferation. Bush and his cronies don’t give a damn about North Korea, all they want is to control the oil flowing from the Middle East, erroneously thinking that they can control the EU and China and India by cementing puppet regimes in Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan. But they are totally wrong.

      Russia is making sure that Europe and China and India will be well supplied with oil to keep their surging economies growing, and what they can’t supply countries like Venezuela and Nigeria, even Brazil, will. Do you really think the US has enough military manpower to take over Venezuela when they can’t even control a war of occupation in Iraq? How much more of a deficit would it take to invade other countries to steal their natural resources? How much longer will foreign central banks, like China, India and Japan, continue to fund the US Treasury with over $2 trillion a year, money without which this corrupt Federal Government would be unable to operate, if the US continues to behave like a loose bull in a jewelry store and destroying any chance for world peace?

      These neocons are not even close to being as smart as they think they are and would make easy prey for any smart 12 year old Chess Master. They have stupidly set themselves up for a huge fall, and our nation will probably go down with them.
