“North Korea is not the first national-security state to employ the fearmongering strategy. In fact, the U.S. national-security state, along with its acolytes in the mainstream press, is a master of the strategy. Cuba is another example of a national-security state that long kept its citizens fearful of a U.S. regime-change operation. But let’s keep in mid that throughout all the fearmongering about Cuba, it was always the U.S. national-security state that was the aggressor against Cuba. It was the U.S. national-security state that invaded the island (unsuccessfully), initiated acts of terrorism and sabotage within Cuba, and conspired to assassinate the president of Cuba.”
