Obama Sanctions North Korea For Sony Hack Which Was Perpetrated By Disgruntled Former Employee
US foreign policy just jumped the shark: a few days after both the FBI and the US State department were humiliated when it was revealed that it wasn't North Korea but a disgruntled, laid off Sony employee that was responsible for the "hack", and when the best possible course of action would have been to simply let this latest embarrassing incident fade from memory, moments ago Obama - currently not working out next to a rainbow or flashing his support of "Shaka" - just signed his first executive order of 2015, imposing even more sanctions against North Korea.
From Bloomberg:
President Obama signs order imposing additional sanctions on North Korea in response to country’s “efforts to undermine U.S. cyber-security and intimidate U.S. businesses and artists exercising their right of freedom of speech,” according to Treasury Dept statement.
Sanctions target 3 entities, 10 individuals
Including North Korea’s intelligence agency, arms dealer, North Korea’s representatives in Namibia, Sudan, Iran, Syria, China
“Even as the FBI continues its investigation into the cyber-attack against Sony Pictures Entertainment, these steps underscore that we will employ a broad set of tools to defend U.S. businesses and citizens, and to respond to attempts to undermine our values or threaten the national security of the United States,” Treasury Sec. Lew says in statement
That this action is so stupid no amount of commentary would possibly do it justice is quite clear, which is why we patiently await North Korean TV to escalate its comedic feud with the "monkey in a tropical jungle."
Perhaps the only silver lining is that Obama did not launch a nuclear attack on Pyongyang outright, although there is still a 2 year period until January 2017. And anything goes, especially once the NSA fabricates another YouTube clip.

"Hokey smoke, Bullwinkle, look!"
Poking the Bear is not enough....
Now they are poking the Dragon too....
The tribe wants a world war REALLY BADLY, it's the only way out of this financial & debt mess sans hyperinflation.
China is the dragon N.Korea is more like a poisonous newt ;)
She changed me into a newt ... But I got better. --
Graham Chapman+ 10 for the catch LOL
EXACTLY RIGHT! BUT a poke to North Korea IS a poke to the Dragon. I understand there is already a refugee crisis and the Chinese are having other problems with the area without the US stepping in to make it worse.
Another FAIL. What happened to the film maker whose video caused Benghazi to go up in flames?
He was shot, and the bill for the bullet sent to his family.
Fearless Leader Obama's far-seeing progressive base gushes, "We love it when you starve poor countries."
If I was a conspiracy theorist I might believe the article I read that blamimg NK is to give Sony legal cover against any law suites that could be filed by the victims of the breach. The thinking is how could Sony be expected to ward off a cyber attack executed by a nation state. It's the least the US can due for one of its propaganda minions.
It should be obvious Sony worked with ObaMao to create this situation.
Well -the North Koreans could have done it -if they had thought of it first. Isn't that good enough?
I can't wait to see Paul Craig Roberts on Greg Hunter's American Watchdog USA.com very quietly shaking his head in disbelief as he quietly chuckles with that subdued laugh of his: "the fools...we have a nation goverened by a bunch of idiots, complete incompetent idiots."
We are more likely to see this Nother Korean guy going berserk and pulling a trigger on a nucular missile... USSA is really playing with fire here since these guys are truly unpredictable, especially if charged with crimes they didn't do...
Sanctions not based on horrid crimes against humanity but picking on a major campaign donor. A beakon of righteousness shines from DC.
They parade nukes and publicly threaten the west, but Iran is the real threat....on the verge of nuclear weapon capablility since the 70s.

"US foreign policy just jumped the shark."
Please stop using this term in the singular. There are way too many sharks, and there is altogether too much jumping, skipping, hopping, and pole-vaulting going on every which way. Another day, another shark, or other large predatory-type swimming-capable animal or other such life form.
Obama should also check wiki pages:
Active personnel1,190,000 (2012) (ranked 5th)[1]
Reserve personnel600,000 reserves (2012)
5,889,000 paramilitary (2012) (ranked 1st)
US is trying to sabotage peace talks between the two Korea.
This is the new norm which is the same as the old norm. Never admit you're wrong, make shit up when you're caught in a lie, and attack the weakest possible opponent when confronted with the truth. Pathological liars one and all.
These guys spend 16% of their GDP on the military, USSA has lots of room for improvement...
I wonder if the Bing.com and Yahoo.com search outage is somehow connected...
Dork War at it's finest.
"Chicago has been hit with a nuclear weapon. Our sources in the FBI say it is the NORKs.
"All of America must assume a War Footing. The DHS and FEMA will now take control from local and state governments.
"Pusuant to the numerous EOs I signed, everything owned by YT is now mine.
"My Urban Commandos will confiscate your property for the Common Soviet!"
"After the cyberattack on CNN, I must now surrender the USG to N Korea."
It can't be that bad, stocks are doing fine.
Obama is "Certifiably" Insane.
You can't make this shit up... Nuff said.
It is a show of Power. Like what is Kim Jung Un going to do?
- He is Gaslighting Kim Jung Un
Valerie: "You need to do this speech!"
Bath House: "Eep Eep! ooga oggah!"
After today Obama's sanity is very questionable.
"after today" ???? Where have you been
At this point it would be a surprise if this administration did something that made sense.
I wrote this in August about another article, but it applies equally to this topic:
There are more than a few theories asserting that the security services draw in the psychotic sociopaths of our society.
The have no conscience, they believe they are gods, and as such they believe they innately define what is good, and what is evil.
They will line you up and put you into the gas chambers without a second thought. They will drop the rear panel of a troop truck and machine gun you down where you stand. They will put you on your knees then walk down the line putting a single bullet into your brain, and congratulate themselves for "removing" the impure from the world at-large.
They see power for themselves as given by God - be it a Christian, Islamic, Jewish, Hindu, or any other belief system's god. Like the head of "Golden Sacks," they are "doing god's work."
They are disconnected from reality. They live in their own subculture cut-off from the sufferings and misery of the common folk. I can't think of a better description than that used in this article: "our masters are in the grip of a delusionary nightmare."
There has never been a good outcome from bad minds. They always led society into wars that kill everyone but themselves. They sit at the White House, or 10 Downing, or the Kremlin, or any other seat of government power, and order the murder of others who have done nothing more than exist.
Then they brag about the blood dripping from their hands: "I," said Barack Obama in admitting he is a war criminal guilty of crimes against humanity - for which he will never be arrested and tried, "am really good at killing people."
People murdered without charge, trial, defense, jury deliberation, or any other basic standard of civilized behavior. Obama - and others like him - have returned the world to the barbaric standards of kill, or be killed. He - and others like him - are animals, worthy only of imprisonment and execution.
If the Nazis hung, if the Japanese hung, if the world demanded of them the ultimate penalty for their wonton murders, then how can we demand any less of Obama, and the Military / Industrial / Orwellian Complex that follows in their footsteps?

If you're going to make a point then use truthful and sound facts not "allied propoganda" to re-enforce your statements. Gas chambers were debunked long ago the "nazis" (by the way an allied slur never adopted nor used by Germans) were paraded infront of the world as "evil" because as Major General J.F. Charles Fuller said:
“It was not the political goals of Hitler that brought us to war. It was his success in building a new financial system. The roots of this war lie in greed, jealousy and fear.”
there is much "real" history being revealled every day ... try to research some of it make an informed conclusion rather than parroting old one sided tripe.
The "victor" will write history and will never be asked if "they" told the truth.

You cant sanction dirt.
North Korea is already dirt poor, what are you going to do? ban them from importing air?
The golfer n chief is adept at goading folks........
There are two ways to track the continued disintegration of the US and the impending economic collapse. One is follow Tyler's very informative charts on actual market activity instead of the Disney mm presentations, or just watch how nuts the president goes on other "enemy" countries. The more made up the alledged crime, the closer we are to hearing the flushing sound here.
The Sony hack is deadly serious, the US has to keep North Korea
nuclear, according the words in the Saker published on ZH a few days ago
geopolitical surprise.
Putin has been reaching out to Glorius Leader Kim’s regime, and we know the deal Putin would want to get done with Pyongyang’s regime: Give up the nukes, and the Double Helix will protect you. Give up the nukes and we’ll force the U.S. to leave the Korean peninsular. Give up the nukes and China and Russia will develop your infrastructure. Give up the nukes and begin integration with the South economically and that process will include Russia and China. Give up the nukes and you will never walk alone.
Many people also thought W was incompetent beyond all reason.
Something of a pattern developing.
Would seem they are puppets.
I am not being sarcastic. I truly believe that Obama has lost all touch with reality. This is very serious for all of us.
Depends on how you define reality. If reality is where you play golf all day, have gay sex, and do what bankers tell you to do, then that's called the Office of the President and the reality has been unchanged for decades.
One thing you have to say for Oblowme, he's consistently a stupid fuck. Never changes. Forward
I guess he can't unpaint himself out of his corner.
I'm speecless, any sentient with an internet connection TV or Iphone already knows this hack was from within Sony.
What is the Gov's endgame in this lie?
Edit to add: Endgame is to look incompetent like during 9/11= plausible deniability.
Like, 2.3 trillion is missing and we don't know where it went, or we could have never known planes would be used.
This is a set up for a false flag.
It is beyond stupid in the actions of these propagandising asshats who still really think people actually believe this carp from the puppet head clown. Beyond stupid to believe the puppet govt propaganda machine. It is possible that out right stupidity can make the average conscious soul very sick. A Yuck, beyond all yucks! A Blah, beyond all blahs! A Ralph, beyond all ralphs!
Pleaze spare us any more stupidity before everyone is barfing up the putrid idiocy all over the place, thus making a huge mess around here. Got enuff horse tripe and bovine excrement to wade through as it is.
Sheesh! Will we make it to see the second Sun?
Obama forgot to read the new FBI intel fucked up reports. What a laughing jackass this Monkey -in- Tranny is for the United States of America.
All I can say is, my first impression of Obama was the same as my first impression of Tony "I'm a pretty straight kind of guy" Blair - psychopathic, utterly mendacious megalomaniac.
Reasonable hypothesis. Good to own Sony before the next Presidential election
Something smells on the entire Sony reporting. There are only so many disgruntled employees who could supply what was needed for this hack. Not a bad way to eliminate competition. Heck, might even get cover from powerful people to pull this one off - in return for ...
and the MSM has no interest in pursuing the disgruntled employee. Not like they chased Snowden
Yet, Obama did not have to sanction N Korea for a studio hack. We have had bank hacks, gov hacks, mil hacks and Obama sticls a fork in the N Korea nutter for this? It appears to me Obama wants the N Korea leader to react
Seems to me Obama is fishing for a war. He needs a perfect enemy. His bogus war plans against RU flopped with the public. The public is being groomed to hate the N Kor Nutter.
When Obama stokes the fires, it is usually to cover something else. Something damn dirty. He timed amnesty for the Ferguson grand jury deadline. Not to give Obama credit. IMHO he is a frontman
Much more likely some one hacked SONY to expose racist emails and this is I believe the 2nd time a "movie" has been used as an excuse for foreign aggression/terrorism. Anyone see a pattern here? Wonder if anyone sees a pattern here?
ah heck, they'll never let on who actually did it as it is too embarrassing. perhaps north korea did do it; perhaps the russians did it...but with the way the chinese are infiltrating the us there are bigger, badder things this way coming...if you are not familiar with 11 main? it is the website where various sized companies sell their wares. a nice looking website, only one thing...you are giving the chinese all your banking information whether you buy or sell on the site. it is purportedly owned by jack ma of alibaba, but since alibaba is "owned" by the chinese (jump! Jack Ma, Jump!) what's the dif?
oh and by the way, it wasn't the getting blown up at the end of the movie that Kim Jung-un was upset about; it was the insistence of the hollywood community to smear every movie with feces from beginning to end. in order to desensitize and entrap and enculturate (also known as homosexual grooming) the youth into believing that anything goes (sure, sure, feces sex is a good as any other kind...SNORT...except for the smell!) like the monkeys at the zoo who throw their pooh at the visitors, hollywood has devoted itself to throwing its monkey pooh at every movie viewer.
Rogen is a pig and Kim should, oh let's see, not that one would suggest any kind of specifics, but it might be that if you create vile and disgusting material that you become the one who is then responsible for the vile and disgusting material.
Wai a minute. Aren't they supposed to hold off on sanctions until The Interview 2?
They don't even bother to send someone like Colin Powell the the U.N. to present fake evidence any more. It doesn't even matter if most everyone knows the accusations are false, this government has gotten so arrogant it just does what it wants anyway and doesn't care what people know or think. This can't lead to good things...
"monkey in a tropical jungle" is about the most succinct and accurate description of Obama that anyone has come up with so far
Oh, golly, no! Their GDP will go from $1.00 to $.50... And then back to $1.00 after dollar inflation kicks in.
