American diplomacy wipes out at the 2018 Winter Olympics!

The Korean unified team is on parade as Mike Pence sits and stews.

China Watch offers an exclusive look at the injustice at the heart of the Japan-South Korean relationship, and America’s ongoing collusion with Tokyo.

China Watch also asks Where’s Shinzo?  Did Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe sit or stand during the entry of the Korean unified team at the Olympic opening ceremony?  Did he do both?

Will the Quad awaken in the Maldives?  Taiwan takes its cues from the Pentagon China hawks to engage in earthquake anti-diplomacy against the PRC.  Blunder or canny strategic coup?

General MacArthur’s Conspiracy to Start a War with China! New Documentary Release & Interview! For purchase at Newsbud Store or for Purchase or View via Amazon or Vimeo

The Korean War was a desperate and dubious battle in which the US was ready to try anything and everything to overcome its strategic and tactical disadvantages.  Biological weapons, nuclear weapons…and Douglas MacArthur’s plans for a strategic breakout via escalation of the Korean conflict to a regional war.  Everything was on the table.

Douglas MacArthur made the first US attempt to parlay a Korean crisis into an existential confrontation with the People’s Republic of China.  With the US milsec establishment, his ideas are more popular—and dangerous—than ever.  My documentary uses first hand testimony and declassified archives to finally reveal the truth behind this long-suppressed event.
