—On this, the once again ‘mysteriously overlooked’ 60th Anniversary
of the epically relevant Korean War —Hollywood’s rolling out yet another
seen-to-death, anachronistic, PC WWII retread. A nifty moral alibi
for an industry that’s made BILLIONS upon BILLIONS these past decades
outsourcing cheap labor, and unflinchingly catering to the franhise-slum
denial needs of history’s –MOST– awesomely genocidal regime —ACROSS
the Pacific ( 70 million downed in ‘peacetime —decades AFTER WWII -unoutted
and utterly unanswered for -FACT- ).
Even as we’re trying to enjoy the set-up —a South Korean navy ship is
blown up in international waters in the China Sea -near the Korean coast
—killing 45 on board.
The story was very marginally and deceptively reported, when it was reported
at all, in our Red China suck-up ‘press’. It’s dropped altogether within
a single day —even as authorities are now telling us it’s looking ‘likely’
that it was, in fact, a torpedo!
The Korean War –‘staggeringly’ relevant, —and STILL unfolding…
NOW, back to your smoke n’ mirrors WWII side show entertainments.
