Government & Media Hypocrisy: Pakistan launches purpose built Ballistic Nuclear Missile; where’s the outrage, where’s the sanctions, where’s the UNSC resolutions?

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.

April 25, 2012, Pakistan launches an improved Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM), yet no one cares?   Pakistan has nuclear weapons, yet no one cares that they’ve successfully tested an improved missile designed to carry nukes?

This launch comes less than a week after India successfully launched their first ever ballistic missile.

Here’s what the western members of the UN Security Council had to say about North Korea’s 4th non-weaponized rocket launch: “…[it’s a] provocation, threat to international stability, and another violation of United Nations Security Council resolutions.”

On April 17, 2012, the UNSC increased sanctions against North Korea for launching a non-weaponized rocket!

So far, here’s what the UNSC said about India’s first ICBM launch:

Yeah I thought so you hypocritical SOBs!!

World War 3: North Korea says targets in South Korea will be turned to ash. Soon?

“Once Revolutionary forces’ Special Action is taken, all the rat parties [South Korea] and provokers [U.S. forces in South Korea] will be burned to the ground in three or four minutes….with our own unique methods, which haven’t been witnessed.”-North Korean TV announcement, translated by Reuters

April 23, 2012, an announcement by North Korea said that “special action” will be taken against South Korea.

While most Western media are reporting that North Korea isn’t being specific about what they mean, some are speculating that they could be talking about an attack on the U.S. puppet South Korea ahead of the 80th anniversary of the Korean People’s Army on Wednesday.

I’ve read some of the North Korean propaganda articles on their Korean Central News Agency site, and while they have similar rhetoric, they do qualify their threats by adding “if provoked”.  This indicates that any “special attack” by North Korea would be in response to something South Korea, or the United States, does first.

However, some of the propaganda articles do also say they are going to make the U.S. puppet Lee Myung Bak, and his political party, pay for what they see as his sabotage of the unification talks between North and South Korea.

Government & Media Hypocrisy: South Korea reveals new Cruise Missiles aimed at North Korea; where’s the outrage, where’s the sanctions, where’s the UNSC resolutions?

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.

April 19, 2012, the U.S. puppet South Korea revealed they have developed new weaponized cruise missiles specifically for use against North Korea!  They have also inadvertently revealed they have ballistic missiles as well!!!

Under a deal with the United States, South Korea is forbidden to have ballistic missiles with a range of more than 299 kilometers (186 miles).

The revelation comes in the form of a video, released on April 18, 2012, showing the launch of two missiles (watch the video here). The beginning of the video shows the launch of a short range ballistic missile, the next missile launch is a GLCM (Ground Launched Cruise missile).

South Korea based their new cruise missile on the U.S. nuclear armed Tomahawk missile.  South Korea revealed the truth after media reports forced the government to acknowledge the missiles.

This comes after proposed U.S. food aid to North Korea was canceled because of a non-weaponized satellite launch by North Korea!

World War 3: UANI goes after Korean car maker, UANI formed in 2008 specifically to go after companies doing business with Iran

“UANI’s unprecedented success in pressuring multinational corporations to cease business in Iran has alerted the business community of the serious financial and reputational risks of doing business with the Iranian regime.”-UANI statement

April 5, 2012, South Korean car maker, Hyundai, succumbed to the attacks from United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI).

Hyundai will stop exporting cars to Iran, however such a move will only hurt Hyundai, by reducing overall sales.  Iran has several car makers who will benefit by lack of foreign competition.

Hyundai is refusing to comment on the situation.

This is not about current U.S. sanctions against Iran.  I’ve already written how U.S. Congress, and George Bush Jr created a law in 2000 that exempted U.S. corporations from existing, and future sanctions against Iran, and North Korea.

UANI was created in 2008, for the express purpose of going after corporations that do business with Iran.

UANI also proudly admits they are the ones behind much of the anti-Iran legislation coming out of Washington DC.

UANI is also the main “official” source of anti-Iran info being used by the U.S. media.

UANI also proudly admits they are the ones behind the nuclear weapons scare mongering rhetoric concerning Iran.

Want proof, just go to their website.  You can find it yourself.

Want’s interesting is that UANI is claiming to be doing these things in the name of preventing Iran from getting nuclear weapons, yet they are actually shutting down Western (European, Asian) competitors to U.S. corporations.  How does that prevent another country from getting nuclear weapons?

 

Fukushima

Government Hypocrisy: Japan drags feet on Fukushima Daiichi, yet scrambles to shoot down Korean communications satellite, even cancels flower festival!

It has been proven by independent investigations in Japan, that government and corporate leaders not only dragged their feet in responding to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident, they’re still dragging their feet!

Yet, when North Korea announced they were going to launch a harmless communications satellite, Japanese leaders went into overdrive!

Earlier in the month Japanese defense officials said they were moving U.S. supplied Patriot missiles into position to shoot down the satellite.  U.S. officials came out and said they were going to back up Japan in defending itself against the satellite (note that U.S. and other western media keep referring to the satellite as a “ballistic missile”).

Now Chief Cabinet Secretary, Osamu Fujimura, announced they have canceled the annual Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden flower viewing in Tokyo.  He blames it on North Korea’s planned launch of a communications satellite!

Japanese officials scrambling over a communications satellite launch, even shutting down a flower show?  Where was the concern when Fukushima Daiichi was blowing up?  Where is the concern now that it’s obvious Fukushima Daiichi is still spewing massive amounts of radiation?  But oh no, we can’t have any North Korean communication satellites being launched, better cancel that flower show!

Government Paranoia & Lies: U.S. & Japan freaking out about North Korean satellite launch, U.S. threatening to back out of food aid deal

North Korea has submitted all required documents to the International Civil Aviation Organization and the International Maritime Organization as part of its preparation for an April communications satellite launch.  This is in keeping with international regulations.

Yet officials with the United States and Japan are literally freaking out!  U.S. officials are deliberately misleading the media by calling the satellite a “missile”!

“Such a missile [what missile?] launch would pose a threat to regional security and would also be inconsistent with North Korea’s recent undertaking to refrain from long range missile launches.”-says ignoramus Victoria Nuland, U.S. State Department

Here’s the thing, North Korea agreed to halt testing of missile weapons.  They did not agree to stop communications satellite launching.

Here’s what an ignorant professor said: “Why did they make a deal if two weeks later they’re going to scuttle it, without even getting anything out of it?  This doesn’t make sense in the standard North Korean playbook.”-John Delury, Yonsei University

Because, moron, North Korean officials didn’t see anything wrong with a communications satellite launch, as it is not a weaponized “missile”!

Even the Japanese are freaking out, they plan to move Patriot missiles into position to shoot down the communication satellite!

By the way, North Korea launched satellites in 1998 and 2009.  Why the uproar now?  Is this just a convenient way for the U.S. to back out of it’s promise?  Remember what the Taliban said about the U.S.: “…they turned their backs on their promises and started initiating baseless propaganda…” -Taliban statement, March 14, 2012

Pale Green Horse & H5N1: Korea hit by bird flu, wild birds die in Hong Kong, more cases in Vietnam, more human deaths in Indonesia, can be transmitted through your eye

South Korea officials reporting that bird flu has hit their country.  45 chickens died from bird flu, however, they are conducting more thorough tests to determine which strain of bird flu it was.

In Vietnam, officials thought they got things under control after more than 400 poultry died in February, but now, a new outbreak has been reported to the UN’s World Health Organization.

Bangladesh is reporting a fourth case of human H5N1 infection. The man was found to be infected, on February 26, after government mandated testing for live poultry market workers.  So far no deaths.

Indonesia has seen another human death from H5N1.  A 12 year old boy died on 21 February 2012.  He was in contact with poultry, but investigators say none of the birds are showing any sign of H5N1.

As of the beginning of March, farmers in Bhutan have killed off more than 1,300 poultry to stop the spread of H5N1 there.

Officials in Hong Kong are reporting an increase in the number of wild birds dying from H5N1.  Normally H5N1 attacks domestic birds.  It’s believed that wild birds can get it from eating contaminated chicken feed.  However, most of the dead wild birds in Hong Kong were not near any poultry farms.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says H5N1 can be spread by rubbing your eyes after handling sick birds.  The CDC said several types of flu viruses can travel through your eye and cause upper respiratory infection.

I looked and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him.  They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.

World War 3 & Government Incompetence?: U.S. Senator calls for blocking all Iranian oil, even thought it would destroy U.S. allies. War with Iran is meant to allow the U.S. to become a major oil exporter

Days after a UBS oil analyst said ten countries (allies of the U.S.) would be destroyed if Iranian oil was cut off, a dumb U.S. Senator proposes to cut off Iranian oil!

In a Friday interview with C-SPAN’s (Cable-Satellite Public Affairs Network) Newsmakers program, democrat Carl Levin says he wants to use the U.S. Navy to blockade Iranian oil shipments.

Levin is inviting other countries to join in: “I think (these are) options that whoever is willing to participate should explore, including Israel and including the United States.”

Levin admitted that alternative oil supplies would have to be found for the allies of the United States.  Mmmm, you mean like the United States now that it actually has too much oil on hand (recently the CEO of Exxon Mobil said the U.S. oil “…markets are well supplied.”)?  Now we know the real reason for going to war against the World’s second largest petroleum producer  (oil from Canada and North Dakota is actually creating a surplus in the U.S.).

World War 3: UBS says war with Iran will destroy U.S. allies

Julius Walker, an oil analyst with Swiss based financial company UBS, says war with Iran could destroy ten countries, from lack of oil.

He told Business Insider that not only would the price of oil skyrocket past $250 per barrel, but the economies of ten countries could be devastated.

Those ten countries are actually allies of the United States (and some are already on the verge of collapse): China, India, Japan, South Korea, Turkey, Italy, Spain, Greece, South Africa and France.  Maybe they won’t be allies for very long?
