World War 3: Proof that China will not enforce sanctions against North Korea.

Chinese media revealing that the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) has dozens of Chinese bank accounts under false names.

However, it’s highly unlikely the Chinese government will take action because it still supports North Korea: “Beijing would be reluctant to take action if the bank accounts were personal accounts of Kim Jong-un. Beijing is worried that it could damage personal ties with the North Korean leader.”-Du Jifeng, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences

World War 3: Chinese media blames the United States for North Korea’s nukes! MacArthur’s legacy of elitism lives on.

13 March 2013/01 Jumada l-Ula 1434/23 Esfand 1391/2 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

Finian Cunningham, writing for the China’s The 4th Media, pointed out that the push by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to develop nuclear weapons is the fault of the United States.

The editors of The 4th Media backed up Cunningham’s statements by referring to a 2010 Associated Press article, which was written after secret U.S. documents were released on the 60th anniversary of what could now be the First Korean War:  “From the 1950s’ Pentagon to today’s Obama administration, the United States has repeatedly pondered, planned and threatened use of nuclear weapons against North Korea, according to declassified and other U.S. government documents released in this 60th-anniversary year of the Korean War.”-Associated Press

Anyone who knows the history of First Korean War should know that ‘heroic’ U.S. Army General Douglas MacArthur was going to use nukes on the advancing Chinese, who were kicking ass all over the U.S. forces (the longest retreat in U.S. military history, caused because the arrogant MacArthur refusing to believe his own intelligence reports that said the Chinese were about to invade!). President Truman finally fired MacArthur, for continually disobeying the Commander in Chief’s orders.

By the way, America’s hero MacArthur (along with fellow American heroes, General George Patton and Major Dwight Eisenhower) once slaughtered  homeless/unemployed World War One veterans, and their wives and children,  in Washington DC. (officially; four dead, more than 1000 wounded)

Keep in mind the homeless/unemployed veterans were supported by retired USMC Major General Smedley Butler.

MacArthur, Patton and Eisenhower attacked unsuspecting veterans (who thought they were coming to support them), and their families, with bayonets and poison gas.  President Hoover ordered a halt to the attacks, but, in a portent of future behavior for MacArthur he ignored the President’s order.

After the fact MacArthur claims that he thought the homeless veterans were actually an invading communist army!  Later, as President, Eisenhower used the same commie threat excuse for ordering the overthrow of Iran’s first Democratically elected government in 1953!  Do the research, these guys are not heroes, they are arrogant elitists, and are part of the reasons countries like North Korea and Iran do what they do!

World War 3: U.S. & South Korea responds to war threats by increasing sanctions against North!

11 March 2013/28 Raby’ ath-Thani 1434/21 Esfand 1391/30 Yi-Mao 4711

Both the United States and Republic of Korea (ROK) have imposed new economic sanctions against the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK).  The United Nations is already working on more sanctions.

President Barack Obama has added the Foreign Trade Bank of North Korea to sanctions.  This means the bank can not continue transactions with U.S. banks. It also includes four individuals and the Korean Workers’ Party.

Earlier in the day there were reports that South Korea imposed their own new financial sanctions against the North.

World War 3: South Korea accuses Idaho’s Micron of international price fixing!

11 March 2013/28 Raby’ ath-Thani 1434/21 Esfand 1391/30 Yi-Mao 4711

As war drums are beating, unnamed officials in Republic of Korea (ROK) are blaming Idaho based Micron Technology of fixing prices for computer memory chips: “It’s quite strange that the global memory chip market is seeing unexpected price rises amid less demand for conventional personal computers. It’s highly possible that the chipmakers are engaged in price-fixing. Among other firms, Micron Technology is apparently using its commanding position to manipulate computer chip prices. We are watching it closely.”

Micron apparently controls half the World’s chip market! ROK’s SK Hynix controls 30%, and Samsung 15%.  Those three companies are the only major memory chip makers left in the World, several years ago there were more than ten!

Officials from ROK base their claim on decreasing computer demand on information recently released by International Data Corporation.

This isn’t the first time Idaho’s Micron has been accused of price fixing.

Breaking news: South Korean media says North Korea has officially announced the end of the 1953 Armistice!

11 March 2013/28 Raby’ ath-Thani 1434/21 Esfand 1391/30 Yi-Mao 4711

The Yonhap news agency, in Republic of Korea (ROK), says they’ve listened in on a Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) radio broadcast.  The announcement was made by the Rodong Sinmun, the official news source for the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea (WPK).

The broadcast said the 1953 ceasefire agreement is now officially void, and it is time for the “showdown war”.

Breaking news: North Korea severs hot line to South, as promised!

11 March 2013/28 Raby’ ath-Thani 1434/21 Esfand 1391/30 Yi-Mao 4711

Chinese media reporting that the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) has cut the hot line from Pyongyang to Seoul.  They cite Republic of Korean (ROK) officials as saying the emergency phone line is no longer working.

Last week the DPRK said they would cut the phone line and consider the 1953 armistice void, if the United States and ROK went ahead with the Key Resolve war games, which officially started on 11 March 2013.

In several official announcements the DPRK basically said the latest UN sanctions, and the continued uninvited presence of the U.S. military in ROK, were the final straws, and threaten nuclear first strikes.

World War 3: Is China’s vote for sanctions against Korea a trick?

10 March 2013/27 Raby’ ath-Thani 1434/20 Esfand 1391

After defending it’s vote for the latest UN sanctions against the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), Chinese officials now say they will support the North.

Analysts think China voted for the sanctions for purely political reasons and will not do their part to enforce those sanctions.

An editorial in Japan’s Yomiuri Shimbun pointed out that the latest UN sanctions will not work if China does not enforce them. Apparently China is the lynch pin of the latest sanctions against DPRK.

Former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton, believes China is not sincere in their claim of support for the latest sanctions: “There’s no reason to think they’re going to do anything different than they’ve done before. I call this a marginal increase in sanctions.”

World War 3: New Korean War to begin 11 March 2013! South Korea says the North shall be wiped from the Earth!

08 March 2013/25 Raby’ ath-Thani 1434/18 Esfand 1391

The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has declared the 1953 non-aggression pact void!  As of 11 March 2013 the northern half of Korea will now consider itself at war with the southern half, and the United States!

Officials in Pyongyang are shutting down their operations at the Demilitarized Zone.

There are reports that Kim Jong Un visited front line military units deployed on an island off the western coast of the Korean Peninsula.  Apparently he ordered the military to quickly annihilate the enemy in a single attack.

Other reports say Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s KCNA news agency is reporting that the people are “…ready to fight a Korean style all-out war.”

KCNA also reported that the war will not be confined to the peninsula, and it mentioned future precision strikes targeting “…enemy deployed on five islets…”

The latest claims by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea come after the Republic of Korea declared “…Kim Jong-un’s regime will perish from earth.”

That threat from the South was in response to the North’s threat to use nukes in a first strike against its enemies.  See more of the tit for tat here.
