\u201cThe Russian envoy to North Korea warned President Trump not to place any further sanctions against North Korea or Kim Jong-un surrounding \u2018supplies of oil\u2019,\u201d says a clean-cut reporter in a polished, professional newscast presentation. \u201cTo do so, he says, would be perceived as a declaration of war.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hmm, interesting. What am I watching? CNN?<\/p>\n

\u201cBut if we\u2019re going to be honest,\u201d the reporter continues, \u201caren\u2019t all<\/em> sanctions an act of war? And why are we putting sanctions on North Korea in the first place?\u201d<\/p>\n

Ohhhhhh.<\/p>\n

This ain\u2019t CNN.<\/p>\n

The report continues with information from reputable sources explaining the spurious and politically motivated basis for labeling North Korea as a \u201cstate sponsor of terrorism\u201d, shows data documenting how ineffective sanctions actually are in achieving their purported goals, weaving together facts and figures which culminate in the conclusion that \u201call that those sanctions truly do is bruise and harm the people in that country who have no real control over whether there is a war or not.\u201d<\/p>\n

The presentation is slick and concise enough to be indistinguishable from a professional mainstream media news broadcast, save for an abundance of information which would never be permitted on mainstream media. It\u2019s a phenomenal resource for anti-imperialists like myself to share around when news breaks as it did today<\/a> that the Trump administration is stacking even more crushing sanctions upon North Korea.<\/p>\n

Ben Swann is an award-winning journalist<\/a> whose willingness to ask questions you aren\u2019t allowed to ask and share information you aren\u2019t supposed to share has made him a hero of alternative media and an enemy of establishment attack dogs everywhere.<\/p>\n
