Trump Slaps Horrific Sanctions on North Korea; Crime Against Humanity


Among the conventional weapons in the arsenal of the modern Warfare State, none is crueler or more indiscriminate than economic sanctions. While a bomb, missile, or other military ordnance can devastate an entire neighborhood in a moment, the slow death of economic strangulation can so degrade an entire people that they are reduced to a pre-civilizational state, modern savages living at a subsistence level.
This psychological and spiritual degeneration is nothing less than a war crime, a "crime against humanity."

-Justin Raimondo, 1998
The Trump administration has issued a far-reaching sanctions package targeting North Korea’s maritime industry, reports The Financial Times.

The US Treasury issued sanctions against 28 vessels, 27 companies and one individual across nine jurisdictions, including China, Singapore and Tanzania, on Friday.

“We have imposed the heaviest sanctions ever imposed,” President Trump said. “Frankly hopefully something positive can happen; we will see.”

This series of sanctions appears to be aimed at shutting down North Korea’s  maritime activities to obtain oil and sell coal.

China has lodged “stern representations” with the US over the sanctions.

    That’s a chilling statement.

    Someone please play him a Ron Paul YouTube clip.

  2. This has the potential to end very badly. We libertarians understand that sanctions are simply a prelude to war - goods cross borders or armies will. Un will not back down. And I fear if he’s continuously backed into a corner he’ll eventually come out “fighting.”

    Why in the world do we have diplomats and ambassadors when we won’t use them?

    This could be end very badly.
