The World is at a dangerous crossroads.
The US is
seeking a pretext to wage war on North Korea.
North Korea is said to constitute a threat to
Global Security.
From the Truman Doctrine to Obama. The history of the 1950s Korean confirms that extensive war crimes were committed against the Korean people. As confirmed by the statement of General Curtis Lemay:
"Over a period of three years or so we killed off - what - twenty percent of the population."
North Korea lost thirty percent of its population as a result of US led bombings in the 1950s. US military sources confirm that 20 percent of North Korea's population was killed off over a three period of intensive bombings:
"After destroying North Korea's 78
cities and thousands of her villages, and killing countless
numbers of her civilians, [General] LeMay remarked,
"Over a period of three years or so we killed off
- what - twenty percent of the population."1 It is now
believed that the population north of the imposed 38th
Parallel lost nearly a third its population of 8 - 9 million
people during the 37-month long "hot" war, 1950 - 1953,
perhaps an unprecedented percentage of mortality suffered by
one nation due to the belligerance of another."
During The
Second World War the United Kingdom lost 094% of its
population, France lost 1.35%, China lost 1.89% and the US
lost 0.32%. During the Korean war, North Korea lost 30 % of
its population These figures of civilian deaths in North
Korea should also be compared to those compiled for Iraq by
the Lancet Study (John Hopkins School of Public Health). The
Lancet study estimates a total of 655,000 Iraqi civilian
deaths, following the US led invasion (March 2003- June
2006).
We call upon the people of the US, Canada and NATO countries to put pressure on their governments.
A war on North Korea would engulf the entire region.
PEACE IS PATRIOTIC.
SAY NO TO A WAR ON KOREA
SAY NO TO MILITARY ESCALATION
