Japanese media sources say the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced efforts to create a vaccine for the new H7N9 bird flu.
The U.S. CDC says this is routine any time a new virus is found in humans.

South Korea’s Unification Ministry reporting that North Korea is not allowing South Koreans entry to the Gaeseong slave wage labor complex (aka Kaesŏng Industrial Region, aka KIR).
The KIR actually benefits the capitalist corporations of South Korea, by providing cheap North Korean labor.
The DPRK threatened to close it down just a few days ago.
Western media has lied and said the KIR was a money maker for North Korea, yet in 2009 North Korea demanded better pay for its workers, notice this is also when tensions with the DPRK increased. Then in 2012 the DPRK demanded the ROK companies to start paying a fare rate in taxes. Many of the U.S. influenced capitalist corporations claimed that even with the dirt cheap labor they were not making profits, and said they could not pay up! Notice that 2012 is when tensions with DPRK began to escalate.
The KIR has actually become an economic must for South Korea, and they are now demanding the KIR be re-opened: “South Korea’s government deeply regrets the entry ban and urges it be lifted immediately.”-Kim Hyung-seok, Unification Ministry spokesman

Japanese media reporting that Republic of Korea announced they are preparing to preemptively strike Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
It was revealed by South Korea’s Defense Minister, Kim Kwan-jin.
While South Korea has made similar plans in the past, they were always in conjunction with the Untied States (inadvertently revealing that the U.S. has planned to attack North Korea in the past). This time South Korea is taking a unilateral stance!
South Korea is now using drones (UAVs) to overfly North Korea. If they suspect the North is about to launch an attack (based on what their recon drones see) they will launch a massive preemptive missile attack.

For those rejoicing at the precedent setting, Obama backed, United Nations gun control law, beware! Morton Grove, Illinois, is proof that gun control does nothing to reduce violent crime!
In 1981 Morton Grove banned handguns (pistolas). In 2008, after decades of apparently no overall reduction in violent crime, plus growing law suits, the city quietly rescinded the gun ban.
Some reports say immediately after the gun ban crime jumped 15.7%. I tried checking on 1981 to 2008 crime stats for Morton Grove. I finally came across a crime stat site that said: “Police agencies in Morton Grove do not report crime data individually. As a result, we are unable to show you crime data about Morton Grove, Illinois itself…….Independent statistics for Morton Grove, Illinois are not available from the FBI UCR program.”
(Federal Bureau Investigation-Uniform Crime Reporting)
The site then says to use the Cook County UCR. Even the Federal Bureau of Investigation said, in their 2010 UCR, that Illinois data for that year cannot be compared to previous years, because law enforcement in Illinois changed how they reported data.
This makes me wonder about all those anti-gun articles that claim to have crime stat data showing the gun ban reduced crime in Morton Grove! I’ve read some anti-gun articles that use UCR data from after Morton Grove rescinded their gun ban, and then they tried to say it was proof the gun ban worked!
If the gun ban was working to reduce crime, why did the city leaders rescind it?
There is a 1986 Chicago Tribune article (Morton Grove Gun Ban Quietly Turns 5), basically a five year anniversary look at the effects of the Morton Grove gun ban. A police official admits it was having no effect on reducing crime: “It’s safe to say the ordinance has had little if any impact on it.”-Bob Davis
A former city official admitted that crime in her city is too complex to solve with a simple gun ban: “Our ordinance here is just a symbolic, cosmetic solution to a complex problem, and I don’t think it has made one bit of difference.”-Joan Dechert
The article also quotes a city official, revealing his unAmerican attitude and his desire to destroy your Constitutional rights: “We proved once and for all that there is no constitutional right for a person to own a pistol. In that sense, the law has been a tremendous success.”-Martin Ashman, Village Corporation Counsel
But even the unAmerican Martin Ashman admitted that the gun ban wasn’t doing what they wanted it to: “We haven’t really seen much benefit from the ordinance yet. I don’t expect to in the near future. But maybe our grandchildren will get some real benefit out of it?” (can you say Ass Hole!)
GOVERNMENT EVIL: U.S. HOUSE MEMBER USES FALLACIOUS APPLE TO ORANGES ANTI-GUN ARGUMENT, USES FALSE NUMBERS!

“This is alarming, and much more extreme than we expected.”-Sharon Toker, researcher
According to Israeli researchers at Tel Aviv University, your stressful, nowhere job, busting your butt so unAmerican Corporate America can make more profits, is actually worse than smoking!
The study is called Burnout and Risk of Coronary Heart Disease: A Prospective Study of 8838 Employees
The study concluded that workplace burnout causes a huge increase in cases of heart disease!

“In order to provide for the emergency management of the city, and further in order to provide for and protect the safety, security and general welfare of the city and its inhabitants, every head of household residing in the city limits is required to maintain a firearm, together with ammunition therefore.”-city of Nelson statement
The city of Nelson, Georgia U.S.A., passed a new gun control law on 01 April 2013. That law makes in mandatory to own a gun!
The law exempts people who can’t afford to buy a gun, people with mental or physical problems, felons, and pacifists.
Neslon is the second city in Georgia to pass such a law. Kennesaw is the other.
Kennesaw passed their law back in 1982, and city officials say it resulted in a huge drop in crime, by 89%!
“It did drop after it was passed. After it initially dropped, it stayed at the same low level for the past 16 years!”-Robert Jones, Kennesaw Historical Society, statement made regarding crime stats from 1982 to 1998
By 2007 Kennesaw had gone 25 years without a single murder.
The American Civil Liberties Union challenged the law in court, and lost, because the law is Constitutional!

“…the current crisis has already gone too far. Nuclear threats are not a game…….I’m convinced that nobody wants to attack DPRK because of disagreements about its political system or foreign policy. However, I’m afraid that others will respond firmly to any direct military provocation.”-Ban Ki-moon, United Nations Secretary General
The UN leader made the statement after the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea announced it was re-starting the Nyongbyon (Yongbyon) nuclear complex.
“We are taking action to refurbish and reactivate the reactor together with all other nuclear facilities in Yongbyon including a uranium enrichment plant. The decision is in line with our two-track strategies of building the economy and developing nuclear power at the same time.…All projects will be executed without delay.”-DPRK statement
The complex was shut down in 2007, as part of agreements with the United States, Republic of Korea and China. South Korean officials said the nuclear complex re-start was a violation of agreements that could justify war: “I watched the report. It would be very regrettable if the news report is true.”–Cho Tai-young, ROK government spokesman
In Germany, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reported that DPRK officials are seeking help from German economists and lawyers in changing their economic policies. Apparently North Korea does not want to follow China’s lead in economic policy, and is more interested in Vietnam’s economic model.

The United Nations passed the precedent setting international gun control law, known as Arms Trade Treaty.
Three countries voted against it, 23 countries abstained. 154 countries voted for it, including the United States.
“….an axis of Greece, Cyprus and Israel and possibly more countries which will offer an anchor of stability.”-Uzi Landau, Israel’s Energy Minister, March 2012
“We believe the natural gas finds in Israel, which were duplicated in Cyprus, will also be duplicated in Greece.”-Gideon Tadmor, Israel’s Delek Energy, March 2012
Notice that Greece is now destabilized and Cyprus has been taken over by the IMF and ECB. This could be because those two countries failed to sign deals with Israel over Levant/Leviathan.
Ever since the first Tamar field was discovered by a U.S. company in 2009, more discoveries are being made, making it look as if the entire eastern Mediterranean Sea is one big petroleum field. Each new find seems to be bigger than the previous find. There are now Tamar, Dalit, Leviathan, Mari-B and other areas known as Blocks (Cyprus sits on Block 12).
One commentator said back in 2010, about the possibilities of the Levant Basin Province, that “…God has a sick sense of humor.”
Cyprus, Leviathan’s Block 12 and Israel!
01 April 2013/20 Jumada l-Ula 1434/12 Farvardin 1391/21 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711
I’ve been pointing to a possible connection between the financial take over of Cyprus and the recently discovered massive Leviathan/Levant Basin Province petroleum fields in the Mediterranean Sea. On 31 March 2013, Israel began pumping out natural gas from their Tamar fields (which is part of the larger Levant Basin Province).
At last report the Israeli company Delek Energy is planning to send some of that gas to Cyprus, then on to South Korea. The Israeli government told Delek Energy to hold off on its export plans, just prior to the financial takeover of Cyprus.
The U.S. based Noble Energy owns 36% of the Tamar operations.
Control over Leviathan/Levant Basin is the real reason behind the U.S., European and Israeli backed insurgency in Syria and Lebanon, and efforts to keep Egypt destabilized, as well as Tunis and Libya.
Libya, Tunis, Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey and Greece border, or are strategically located near Levant Basin Province. If you look at a map of the Mediterranean, then draw a line straight south from Greece to Libya, the area under the Sea east of that line has become of extreme importance to western governments.
Cyprus borders an area known as Block 12 of the Levant fields. Noble Energy, and Delek Energy have been working a deal to work the Cyprus side of Block 12. Block 12A (Aphrodite) is estimated to have 7 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. Other areas of Cyprus’s Block 12 are still being explored, but have already attracted investment from France, Italy and South Korea.
According to the latest reports in the Cyprus Mail, the whole financial takeover of Cyprus is about who gets to control the money that will be made from Block 12 of Leviathan/Levant. Even Russia backed off of bailing out Cyprus because they realized their ‘investors’ could make more money off Block 12 than off their Cypriot bank accounts.
