North Korea apologist blames U.S. for everything back to 1945.

Prosecutable US Crimes Against Humanity In Korea

Yea? Who's going to prosecute the war criminals? What a silly idea huh. So old school.

Interesting:

1945, September 8 — US State Department officials, arrive in Korea with the US Army, disband the government of the Korean People’s Republic created September 6, in Seoul, by delegates from local peoples’ offices from all provinces throughout the peninsula formed when Japan announced intention to surrender (August 10), proceed without any Korean authorization whatsoever, to immediately cut Korea into two parts to be occupied by US and Soviet troops and establishing a military government, flying in from Washington DC (in General MacArthur’s private plane), Singman Rhee, to head it; eventually installing him as president of a separate South Korea Government that will include collaborators, and will outlaw all strikes, declare the KPR and all its activities illegal and begin a deadly terror of persecution of members of the disallowed Korean Peoples Republic, communists, socialists, unionists and anyone against the the partition and demanding an independent Korea.4

1946-1949 — The US in effect declares war on the popular movement of Korea south of the 38th Parallel and sets in motion a repressive campaign dismantling the Peoples’ Committees and their supporters throughout the south, becoming massively homicidal as Rhee’s special forces and secret police take the lives of some 200,000 men, women and children as documented recently by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission set up by the National Assembly of the Republic of (South) Korea; on the Island of Cheju alone, within a year, as many as 60,000 of its 300,000 residents are murdered, while another 40,000 fled by sea to nearby Japan some two years before the Koreans from the north invade the South.

1950, June 28 — The US attacks by, air, sea and land, aiming at the southward invading army of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North), which nevertheless unifies the peninsula in five short weeks (except for the US defended port city of Pusan); with little resistance from South Korea’s ROK military as most of its soldiers either defect or go home; over the next three years US will commit dozens of high death toll documented atrocities (some recently apologized for) as American planes level to the ground almost every city and town of any appreciable size in the entire peninsula, north and south, in the end threatening to drop the atomic bomb, and be charged with germ warfare by some not easily dismissed sources.

He claims that he only cares about war crimes and isn't trying to support NK.  Even the rest of the DUmmies don't believe him, and take him to task.  He never mentions a single thing that NK did against the laws of war.

North Korea can go to Hell, and from what I've seen after years of rule by the Kim Klan, they're almost there.

OK.  I clicked on the bio:

Jay Janson, spent eight years as Assistant Conductor of the Vietnam Symphony Orchestra in Hanoi and also toured, including with Dan Tai-son, who practiced in a Hanoi bomb shelter. The orchestra was founded by Ho Chi Minh, and it plays most of its concerts in the Opera House, a diminutive copy of the Paris Opera. In 1945, our ally Ho, from a balcony overlooking the large square and flanked by an American Major and a British Colonel, declared Vietnam independent. Everyone in the orchestra lost family, "killed by the Americans" they would mention simply, with Buddhist un-accusing acceptance. Jay can be reached at: tdmedia2000@yahoo.com

Never heard that one before.  Calling complete bullshit.  The OSS was running around killing Vietnamese during WWII?

...The OSS was running around killing Vietnamese during WWII?

If they helped the Japs, yes.

For all their brutality, the Japs were welcomed in many places as liberators through much of the early part of the war. The Europeans long wore out their welcome for their colonial excesses.

But, war is war, and while the Vietnamese had no desire to return being ruled by the French many were aiding the Japanese by default, so, out they went.

I think we had every right to work towards thwarting the Japanese and every right to keep Vietnam from becoming a Soviet client state but why on Earth we did it in the name of French colonialism is beyond me. I would have pushed past the USSR and offered to arm Ho Chi Minhime against the arrogant, racist, brutal froggy ****s myself.

The French have never been anyone's ally. The only reason for invading Normandy was because it was full of Germans, not to liberate France; which never granted the privilege to anyone else and doesn't knwo what to do with the gift of liberty for itself.

Should have listened to MacArthur...Hind sight is 20-20.

There are a lot of things Mr. Janson is glancing over here.  There was in fact an agreement with the Soviets prior to the end of WWII to divide the previously long term Japanese occupied territory of the Korean peneinsula.  The United States found itself in catch up mode when the State Department finally figured out the Soviets were busy setting up an empire of client and buffer states.

There was an active campaign of suppression by the government of the Republic of Korea against communist agitators in the Rpublic of Korea, it was a brutal campaign but the South Korean government had to handle a set of deadly malcontents somehow.

The Army of the Republic of Korea did not disband.  Instead, finding themselves outmanned and outgunned they fought as valiant a delaying action as they could while waiting for their allies to show up.  Most of the Pusan perimeter were the remaining elements of the ROK army.  The DPRK army had an overstretched supply line and low morale by the time of the Pusan perimeter.

The air assaults were still standard procedure at that time.  Communist troops and units had been caught disguising themselves as peasants to launch attacks, real refugees sometimes were mistaken for these units.  That's the fault of the communists.

The US, UN, ROK, and allies had effectively ended the war.  The Chinese communists decided to continue the war by launching their invasion.

As far as claims of bio warfare, if they have any actual proof they need to show it.  Otherwise they are liars.

Such as it is forever, everywhere.
