It's probably redundant to note again the extreme selectivity of Pilger's peculiar view of history. It would seem that for him the hundreds of thousands of Chinese that the abominable megalomaniac Mao hurled into the Korean War did not exist. Possibly the idiot thinks that North Korea today is a good thing for its people.

I don't think that anyone at all well informed takes this journalistic charlatan seriously, but unfortunately he seems always to be able to find dupes ready to pay for his political snake oil.

Pilger's posts seem to reflect that he has gone off his meds. Trying to blame the Korean war on the west shows how far he has sunk into his delusion.

It's rather informative to open Google Earth and then navigate to the Korean Peninsular.

Start at the southern tip and follow the roads and rail lines north, lots to see; especially if one was there 60 years ago.

Then one reaches the boarder and development comes to a sudden halt.

Even better go to Night View, South Korea is a blaze of light whereas John Pilger would give North Korea the World Prize for 'energy conservation', it's brighter than the Antarctic but not much.

Must indicate something.
