PENTAGON AGAIN SUFFERS EMBARRASSING INCIDENT

      So, it appears that one of the Pentagon's brave xhes in uniform---a private named Travis King---has decided to relocate to North Korea. The story came as a real blow to the Military-Industrial Complex, which---desperate to appear relevant after repeated humiliations in Ukraine---stationed a nuclear submarine with our overseas colony strategic partner, South Korea. There have been other ongoing provocative actions in the area staged by the Junta recently too: although the North Koreans don't seem especially afraid, having test-fired a new ICBM just today.  Likewise, the North Koreans probably have seen the reports that the Pentagon really doesn't have enough missiles to wage a full-scale war, and can't get either the critical minerals or the engines necessary to build new ones. 

    As for the defection of Pvt. King, the whole story sounds very fishy. The jackals in the American Media claim that King had a history of violent behavior and was a frequent resident in South Korean jails. Now while it is true that violent criminal behavior is fairly routine among US troops stationed in these colonial outposts, the Media goes on to tell us that King was being deported back to the US for disciplinary action. In spite of this, King somehow escaped from his guards, somehow (in spite of being a Black man in Korea) evaded detection, and somehow managed to run across "the world's most heavily defended border." The Controlled Opposition press is spinning the story as though King is a hostage, in spite of eyewitnesses who claim that King was laughing and making obscene gestures at the guards as he ran across the Border. 

   Even more peculiar is that the North Korean Media---as of this writing---has issued no statement of any kind on the incident. KCNA did find space in their daily news to inform us that NK's Agricultural Minister inspected a radish farm, and that progress is being made on the construction of a new library in the village of Rason; alongside photos of the new ICBM and angry denunciations of American imperialism. For some reason too, their leaders have been sending flower-baskets to each other recently as well (I'm afraid that I don't understand all of their customs); but not a peep about Travis King.  

   To any thinking person outside American Media influence, it should be apparent that there was no collusion between King and the North Koreans. Otherwise, their headlines would be brimming with news---North Korea would never pass up a golden propaganda opportunity like that. More likely, King is playing Twenty Questions with those fun-loving folk in NK's Military Intelligence Department. So, in a sense, King is being detained, but we can hardly criticize the North Koreans. When military personnel from a hostile power runs screaming across one's border alone, it's rather natural to open an investigation. As is also typical of the American Media, King's family claim that he was a gentle giant and such behavior was atypical; apparently thinking nothing of the three weeks King recently spent in a South Korean jail "after he failed to pay a $4,000 fine on charges that included damaging public property. King did not cooperate when apprehended by officers last October after causing hundreds of dollars in damage to a police patrol car while shouting profanities about Koreans and the Korean army," according to a spokesman for the South Korean Government.

   This whole incident really speaks volumes about the quality of American military personnel more than anything else. President Reagan rebuilt the US Military into a premier fighting force only to see it decimated by his successors. Like our educational establishment, the Pentagon is wholly untouchable, utterly corrupt, and probably (again like American Academia) beyond any hope of internal reform. Bush Sr. made the Military the enforcement-arm of the Executive Branch; the Clinton Co-Presidency purged competent leaders in the name of 'diversity'; Bush Jr. lowered recruiting standards and outsourced military functions to corrupt private contractors; Obama accelerated all three bad tendencies; and we saw the treachery of the Pentagon fully displayed under Trump by continual subservience to the Deep State over the Commander-in-Chief. The Pentagon is fully in the hands of these creatures as surely as Big Media and Academia Incorporated are. 

   I don't know what to say. Again, for decades, people have been warning that the Military was heading in a wrong direction. Millions have literally served in the US Military. It didn't just start under Biden. But somehow once again, nobody knew until incidents like this happen. As one South Korean lawmaker put it, "North Korea is likely pleased to have "an opportunity to get the U.S. to lose its face" I'm afraid that self-respect is something that our Military lost a long time ago; and once again, we've done it to ourselves.
