The US government is planning to announce Thursday that North Korea is directly to blame for the devastating and unprecedented attack on Sony, according to multiple reports. Now we wait and see how the US Government may respond to that attack now that they've placed their blame.

That threat is likely retaliation for the controversial comedy "The Interview," which depicts the assassination of North Korea's leader, Kim Jong-un.

US Investigators have been able to parse through enough evidence now to claim that North Korea is "centrally involved."

On Tuesday, an online threat was posted against theaters planning to show Sony Corp's controversial movie. That threat promised a "bitter fate" for those who went to see the "The Interview." The movie was scheduled for general release on Dec. 25 but its release was canceled late Wednesday afternoon.

In light of the cancelation, Hollywood has not been quiet. Many have argued that the studio gave into the hackers and violated the First Amendment.

NK may have done it but they had to have had help. China’s PO’ed about us stoking the freedom protests. Putin has a beef because of the CIA stoking problems leading to a coup in Ukraine.

“So how does a technological backwater with no electricity (see post 12) hack into a corporation like Sony? And in a world where there is a gazillion hackers with far more tools at their disposal than NK has, why wouldn’t I believe that someone outside NK did this?”

I’m with you. This is more diversion from the White House, aided by Sony and the Enemy Media.

P.S. Is there going to be a day in the future when I DON’T sound like a tinfoil hat wearing KOOK?

OMG! Our world has gone absolutely INSANE within my short lifetime!
