Here Comes The Vilification!

American solider Travis King puts U.S. in an international crisis.

The American solider who was detained in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (aka North Korea) is an African American man. I am expecting the vilification to begin.

Pvt. 2nd Class Travis King is currently being held in North Korean custody after he cross the Demilitarized Zone while doing a guided tour.

President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Congress, Department of Defense Lloyd Austin and U.S. Department of State Antony Blinken were notified.

The junk food media is claiming the solider defected.

So we will vilify him. It is almost certain.

The Republicans will not condemn Tara Reade for defecting to Russia or Gal Luft for fleeing custody after being indicted as a foreign agent. But I expect since the solider is a Black man, they will literally call him a traitor if it's proven.

Now the North Koreans will use this solider as a bargaining chip to get sanctions relieved and use this solider for propaganda.

Fox and the Republicans will accuse Biden of not doing enough or conceding too much.

If the solider is white, expect it to be wall to wall coverage and calls of the person being hailed a hero. If the solider is a person of color, expect the rounds of criticism, allegations of treachery and blame of Biden policies for the solider's capture.

Here is how the junk food media vilifies people of color.

Months before he fled into North Korea, U.S. soldier Travis King faced two assault allegations and was fined by a South Korean court for damaging a police car, according to a court ruling and a lawyer who represented him.

The U.S. military was scrambling to establish the fate of King, who made an unauthorised crossing of the inter-Korean border into North Korea on Tuesday, throwing Washington into a new crisis in its dealing with the nuclear-armed state.

Sounds like mental illness. 

King's motivations for his high-stakes gambit remain unclear.

The Demilitarized Zone is a neutral territory which both Koreas are still at war.

U.S. officials said he had finished serving time in detention in South Korea for an unspecified infraction and was transported by the U.S. military to the airport to return to his home unit in the United States, when he apparently decided to join a tour to the North Korean border.

King pleaded guilty to assault and destruction of public goods stemming from an October incident, and on Feb. 8 the Seoul Western District Court fined him 5 million won ($4,000), according to a copy of the ruling reviewed by Reuters.

Two U.S. officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the soldier had been due to face disciplinary action by the U.S. military.

Reuters was not immediately able to ascertain whether the disciplinary action was linked to his conviction over damaging the police vehicle.

The Seoul court said on September 25 last year King punched a man in the face at a club several times but the case was settled.

One of the lawyers who represented him at the time told Reuters King had spent time in U.S. military detention in Pyeongtaek since the October case.

The lawyer, who declined to be named due to the sensitivity of the matter, said he was unaware of the status of King's custody or whereabout after February.

King's other lawyers listed in court documents were not immediately available for comment.

King's mother, Claudine Gates, told ABC News she was shocked at the news her son had crossed into North Korea.

Since the U.S. has no embassy or any ambassador for North Korea, they will have to rely on Sweden, China and even Russia to establish diplomatic relations. The only people who are capable of entering North Korea with limited access are Bill Clinton, Bill Richardson, Dennis Rodman and Washed Up 45.

Send Rodman over. He is an unofficial ambassador to North Korea and is friends with Supreme Leader Kim Jong-Un.
