North Korea appears to back down
A news report today out of North Korea suggests that its leader, Kim Jong Un, has stepped back from a plan to test fire four missiles in the direction of Guam.
This could be related to China’s decision this week, under strong pressure from the Trump administration, to finally go along with UN sanctions and ban imports of iron, lead, and coal from North Korea.
Readers!
Every February I run a fund-raising drive during my birthday month. This year I celebrate my 72nd birthday, and hope and plan to continue writing and posting on Behind the Black for as long as I am able.
I hope my readers will support this effort. As I did in my November fund-raising drive, I am offering autographed copies of my books for large donations. Donate $250 and you can have a choice of the hardback of either Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8 or Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space. Donate $200 and you can get an autographed paperback copy of either. IMPORTANT! If you donate enough to get a book, please email me separately to tell me which book you want and the address to mail it to.
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. My analysis of space, politics, and culture, taken from the perspective of an historian, is almost always on the money and ahead of the game. For example, in 2020 I correctly predicted that the COVID panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Every one of those 2020 conclusions has turned out right.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

So the little Kim got worried and hid in his little cat box.
So you’re not as big as your mouth, are you, Kim? You’re just another in the range of tiny poor dictatorial states around the world. If you shoot off any rocket again, the US will pick them down and dig up whatever capability you have to make and launch such things. Norko can only lose. And the SucKos too of course, but that’s their own local problem. They have had ample opportunity to fix it. The relatives of the dead ones will have to blame their parents for stupidly ignoring this death threat during all of these decades. The only thing that matters is that the US is protected.
Action….Reaction…..desired result :
(And keep in mind that what we see in the news related to these issues is shaped for public consumption.)
So Trump threatens to take REAL action related to a proposed threat by N. Korea and the end result ?
Adjustment of attitude and plans? (Stay tuned)
The last time this happened for real was over 30 years ago when Reagan was in office, everything done by all American presidents after that point up until Trump has been more of a Left leaning Globalization of the world lead by America.
And this is where that what turns out to be a Leftist type Globalist plan appears to emanate from.

One must admit that the are times when the need to rearrange one’s sock draw takes precedence over starting a global nuclear war.
Micheal:
There probably would not have been a global nuclear war potential.
If Un was / is so very naive to launch a nuke attack at one of our assets I am certain that we would not have answered in kind but we would have launched a massive campaign of total destruction that would walk its way up the N. Korean territory, destroying all military and launch capability. It might possibly be tactically wise (given in this scenario that a nuke was used) to use one or two nukes to destroy any concentrated forces that could attack S. Korea, but a full blown nuclear war is unlikely, especially given Un’s rhetoric (If indeed it is his rhetoric).
I doubt given Un’s rhetoric that China or Russia would enter into the fray, especially if it was done in a surgical manner.

Sorry. I was just making light of the situation.
I can totally appreciate some dark humor :)
I think the big takeaway here is that Trump, unlike all other presidents of the last 30 years, either Republican or Democrat, is in fact different and more about actually taking care of business for American rather then taking America for a ride down the leftist Globalist / One World Government road.
This is where the agenda appears to germinate from.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_for_the_New_American_Century
And do not get me wrong, I have no problem with having America running the world but these agendas laid out in this PNAC agenda also needs to destroy our Constitution and that IMO is the road to hell. PNAC is pure S.O.M. justified agenda.
And lets not forget who is really suffering in N. Korea, the people.

I laughed when during the video the narration pointed out that in a particular restaurant the TV was on 24 hours a day spewing out propaganda. Sound familiar? The N. Korean people are certainly brain washed, I suppose we all are to differing degrees, and they must live in mortal fear every day. Very sad.
