April 13, 2012, North Korea launched a satellite (not a ballistic missile as western media continued to report!), which ended in failure, yet didn’t fail to bring world wide condemnation, which included Japan’s mobilization of Patriot missile forces.

May 17, 2012, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) announced they will be launching an H-2A rocket, carrying South Korean and Japanese satellites. The launch is scheduled for May 18.

The hypocrisy comes from Japan’s threats to shoot down the North Korean satellite launch back in April!  All western news media reported the North Korean satellite launch as a “missile launch”.
