WORLD at WAR, OFFICIAL 2013 THREAD (Doom always only a moment away)

North Korea keeps prepping the world for its nuclear shield it now wishes to display as it intends to force hostile action against South Korea with the expectation that noone will dare up the scale of hostilities for fear of nuclear retribution. Analysts are going nuts as movements and actions of North Korea are very ominmous.[/b]

Citizens Predict War Status Declaration

Sources inside North Korea have told Daily NK they expect the authorities to further elevate domestic tensions by declaring a quasi-state of war in the next few days.

A source from northerly Hoeryeong in North Hamkyung Province told Daily NK today, “Before the [ROK-U.S. ‘Key Resolve-Foal Eagle’] military exercises started on the 11th, orders were handed down telling us to raise the readiness posture one step from ‘combat mobilization.’” Therefore, he added, “There will be high level drills for a week, including not just underground training but also some combined drills involving simulated enemy action.”

But most importantly, the source said he had heard from military cadres that “sometime today or tomorrow there will be an important announcement.” It is unclear when the announcement will occur or what it is set to reveal, but the source predicted that a quasi-state of war could be declared.

“There have been orders to distribute all reserve supplies to the people. The emergency supplies stored in the No. 2 Depot have been sent out to public distribution locations,” he said. “They are just waiting for the order to distribute it.”

The source also reiterated information Daily NK has heard from a number of places in recent days; namely, that people are more worried than normal about the current security situation.

The North Korean authorities previously declared a quasi-state of war in 1993 when they withdrew the country from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, and at the time of the USS Pueblo incident in 1968.

Any news confirming nkorea will claim the south a fake nation?

Also, what time would it be

Hey guys, I probably shouldn't be asking this on line, but since all the threads have been here, I'm going to. Remember all the sequestration threads that said there would be NO more training flights? Now there are all kinds of threads about more flights than normal and people are saying they're training flights. Disinfo? I know which way I'm leaning, but it's pretty weird. If y'all don't think answering this is a good idea, I'll understand. It's just bugging me.

Texan...I think the pentagon is taking these threats more seriously than they are saying which is fine with me...the worse thing we could ever do is underestimate an enemy's capablities...that's usually when it blows up in our faces.

I know the consensus is that the threat from North Korea to the continental United States is minimal at best, doesn't mean they don't have surprises up their sleeves.

Thanks, zilla, for answering. I have a feeling there are a lot of sleeves with surprises in them right now. If it wasn't for the sequestration stuff thrown into the mix, I wouldn't think too much about it just yet. I think the game is on.

I hope I'm wrong and I'm giving the North Koreans too much credit.

I just can't get past our history with them. My dad and my uncle served then. Dad didn't make it overseas, but my uncle did. They weren't an enemy to take lightly. I don't think they are now.

Completely OT - Back to the gift that keeps on giving - Libya

Sometimes even I am surprised...

A form of H1N1 has broken out in Libya - al least 3 people have died in Derna

Libya's sovereign wealth fund has lost at least $4B over the last 4 years & is beginning to withdraw funds from French Banks

And just in case we grow nostalgic for Gaddafi. His spy chief just admitted that Gaddafi held Lebanese Shia leader Musa Sadr for 3 years before turning him over to Gaddafi pal Abu Nidal for killing.

Abu Nidal?

Hi, Darby. Do you ever feel like we're in the middle of the biggest, knottiest ball of yarn ever!?! I really wonder who's moving the chess pieces and how do they keep track of them all?

All these strange flu strains can't be natural, either.

I began my university career as a Biochemistry major w/ concentration in genetics. It's a little odd the I ended up a Lawyer/CPA...

Anyway, the interesting thing about this H1N1 strain (presuming its same one popping up in other parts of ME) is that it is a chimera - it's part bat virus, part pig virus, and very lethal to humans. That has caused some (on this site at least) to suppose it is bio-weapon BUT the way we humans have been messing w/ bio-engineering over the last 20 years, who knows?

I stand corrected - the bat virus is a novel Corona virus that has been popping up in ME. The index patient was infected w/ both the corona virus & H1N1. Libyans are dying from a respiratory infection that local physicians think could be h1N1 (no genetic testing done yet)...

Holey Moley

One guy infected w/ both a novel (new) form of the Corona virus & H1N1???

Our own genetic make-up has changed for sure. I worked in dietary for years and just reading food labels should make everyone barf. It's not food, it's a chemistry project. That HAS to have changed us. And "they" wonder why people believe in conspiracies!

G-d is great!

Blessed be the almighty!

G-d is all around us!

We believe in conspiracies b/c some of them them happen to be true. I learned from my brief fatal attraction that the Saudi petrodollar conspiracy is absolutely true...

Back to our new best friends in Syria. I was disappointed to learn that as an uncovered woman, I am a nasty germ-covered lollipop.

That & more gems from our new allies were in this NPR interview -

On another topic, but y'all can stay OT if you want, All of this NK stuff has kept the eye off the other ball, Iran for a couple weeks, just as Iran wishes. This is not good and whom is pushing the NK agenda, even Obahmah enjoys the fact he does not have to be accountable for the coming Iranian crisis as the west may never see it happen until it is too late.

MilMan, this is for your wife. This song got me through my husband's last deployment. I drove my 2 boys crazy with it. I played it over and over again in the car. He used it for his retirement slide show. A few lines don't really fit, but most of the song does. Make sure you stay safe and come HOME.

Doesn't sound good...

Did the special announcement in nkorea happen yet?

No

no and it's 3:00 in the night already, maybe "tomorrow" there, but until now, complete north korean ip range is down, no site available since one day now (they was up again for a short time some hours ago)

it's just so freaking weird (yes I keep sneaking out of my whole to check things here)

yes!

Completely OT... How about that new Pope? Making the Nazi look good?

Check out this G**rdian article from 2011 about the crimes of the military junta that ruled Argentina in 1970s.

The extent of the church's complicity in the dark deeds was excellently set out by Horacio Verbitsky, one of Argentina's most notable journalists, in his book El Silencio (Silence). He recounts how the Argentinian navy with the connivance of Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio, now the Jesuit archbishop of Buenos Aires, hid from a visiting delegation of the Inter-American Human Rights Commission the dictatorship's political prisoners. Bergoglio was hiding them in nothing less than his holiday home in an island called El Silencio in the River Plate.

The most shaming thing for the church is that in such circumstances Bergoglio's name was allowed to go forward in the ballot to chose the successor of John Paul II. What scandal would not have ensued if the first pope ever to be elected from the continent of America had been revealed as an accessory to murder and false imprisonment
