    Read it all, and it’s disgusting. I remember the controversy at the time, and remember how they tried to paint People’s Korea as a threat in basically all bourgeois media that covered the story, using scare tactics. When in fact, the US was being the hostile and aggressive part in the story.

    It’s also impressive how The Grayzone reported these events so well at a time where all the media was stirring panic and fear towards People’s Korea.

      At the end of the day, it’s no conspiracy, but a systematic aggression toward another country. A capitalist aggression.

    Seth Rogen is now involved in regime change? The CIA must be getting desperate.

    Rogen even admitted to it, damn.

    The film was produced by Japan’s Sony Pictures, but finalized only after receiving critical advice and assistance from the Obama State Department, the Rand Corporation, and according to a 2014 interview Rogen gave to the New York Times, the CIA. (“We made relationships with certain people who work in the government as consultants, who I’m convinced are in the CIA.”) But it was all under the tutelage of Bruce Bennett, who was brought into the project by Sony Entertainment CEO Michael Lynton, a prominent member of Rand’s board of directors and a close confidante of President Obama.

    Why Bennett? His official biography states that he has worked for the Office of the Secretary of Defense, U.S. Forces in South Korea and Japan, the U.S. Pacific Command as well as the South Korean and Japanese militaries. According an email he wrote to Sony’s Lynton in 2014, he got his start in Asia as a Mormon missionary to Japan and began working on Korea in 1989 “at the request of the Pentagon.” By 2014, he said, he had made over 100 trips to South Korea to advise the U.S. Army and senior South Korean military personnel “on how to deter North Korea.” Even though he has never been to the DPRK, he bases his knowledge of the country on his “extensive interviews with senior North Korean defectors.”

    Anytime I read about American actions and attitude towards North and South Korea there is nothing short of unadulterated psychopathy
