North Korea Denies Sharing Nukes

Posted on Sep 18, 2007

The North Korean government has denied allegations that it shared nuclear technology with Syria. A senior U.S. nuclear official earlier insisted that North Koreans were in Syria, possibly to supply the latter with illicit equipment.

AP via Yahoo:

Andrew Semmel, acting deputy assistant secretary of state for nuclear nonproliferation policy, did not identify the suppliers, but said North Koreans were in Syria and that he could not exclude that the network run by the disgraced Pakistan nuclear scientist A.Q. Khan may have been involved.

In a related editorial Sunday, a state-run newspaper in Syria said “the magnitude of these false accusations might be a prelude to a new aggression against Syria.” Al-Thawra said suggestion of such nuclear cooperation was “a flagrant lie.”

The North’s Foreign Ministry claimed that the suspicions are “nothing but a clumsy plot” fabricated by “dishonest forces” who do not want to see “progress in the six-party talks and in the (North Korea)-U.S. relations.”

I don’t know why countries (& most corporations and individuals) issue denials of wrongdoing when so accused.

Is there ANYONE out there who BELIEVES what any government or agency says about ANYTHING?

I don’t. Call me a jaded, pessimistic, very wary doubting “Thomas” and I will plead guilty. But I’ve been trained and conditioned by the endless lies emanating from an endless parade of liars that inhabit the halls of power and control in this world.

Anyone who believes what their government tells them is simply naieve, or naievely simple.

it never really mattered what the facts said or indicated ( as in the case of reasons for attack on iraq) its just that the Perpetual LIARS ( the Zionists) always are blowing their own trumpet and given the Zionist Strangle hold on the press the truth becomes a whisper barely audible & nobody even knows it. so its just another LIE from the perpetually lying Zionists ( who due to their genetic disability to tell the truth, they just cant help but tell and propagate the untruth that suits them)
Its just that the Zionists would like to eliminate all goyims and they will do so by all evil means and especially inline with the Mossad motto which is “war by Deception” so Deceptions will be very very common and Unless these EVIL EVIL EVIL people are checked the world will never be at peace.
Need I remind anyone that the actual CORE OF ALL EVIL IS ISRAEL and it is the place from all evil schemes originate (eg the attack on USS LIBERTY was being blamed on Egypt and almost resulted in Nuking of Cairo) , and given the inability of the MSM to filter them out, i do think it would be wise to completely disregard all Zionist lies and tell the truth to all friends of humanity to watch out for these lying bastards.
Israel the “shitty little state” is an apartheid state thte is being sold arround the world as something that it never was or ever will be, its the place where east europeon women are brought in as prostitutes and then later at some point deported when the Israeli pimps have made good profiuts from them.
And a Typical Zionist approach is that when they cant deny the true facts then they start attacking and harassing the honest well informed person into silence so that their evil sceme can progress unhindered.

Well, DUH.

North Korea (that bastion of freedom) ships weapons-grade nuclear material to Iran (that OTHER bastion of freedom) and Syria (home of real-life aging German Nazis and yet another bastion of freedom).

This is the Axis of Evil.
