“We formally inform the White House and Pentagon that the ever escalating U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK and its reckless nuclear threat will be smashed by the strong will of all the united service personnel and people.”-DPRK statement

“Some of the actions they’ve taken over the last few weeks, present a real and clear danger.”-Chuck Hagel, U.S. Secretary of Defense

The United States is sending a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense System (THAAD) to the U.S. territory of Guam.

The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has just responded by saying the THAAD deployment gives them the green light to launch attacks upon the U.S.

DPRK  KPA (Korean People’s Army) military leaders claim they’ve just been issued final orders!

World War 3: North Korea denies South Koreans access to Kaesŏng Industrial Region!

03 April 2013/22 Jumada l-Ula 1434/14 Farvardin 1391/23 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

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

World War 3: South Korea preparing for preemptive strike against North Korea! Will not wait for United States!

02 April 2013/21 Jumada l-Ula 1434/13 Farvardin 1391/22 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

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.

World War 3: China & Japan say North Korea re-starting nuclear complex is act of War!

02 April 2013/21 Jumada l-Ula 1434/13 Farvardin 1391/22 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

“North Korea’s announcement is deplorable, and we are on alert…”-Hong Lei, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman

“It’s a provocative act that goes against the six party agreement.  It constitutes a violation of UN Security Council resolutions.  Japan needs to treat this as a matter of utmost concern.”-Yoshihide Suga, Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary

World War 3: North Korea re-starts nuclear complex! UN leader hints at first strike by United States! Reports that North Korea could adopt German economic laws?

02 April 2013/21 Jumada l-Ula 1434/13 Farvardin 1391/22 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

“…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.

World War 3: U.S. cancels plans to show off F-22s to media! North Koreans vote for more nukes! South Korean leader begs her military to put aside differences! Polls show ROKies are nuke happy!

01 April 2013/20 Jumada l-Ula 1434/12 Farvardin 1391/21 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

Japanese and South Korean media outlets were disappointed when U.S. Air force officials canceled a planned viewing of the F-22s, supposedly at Osan Air Base, South Korea.

The planes flew in from Okinawa, Japan.  NHK (Nippon Housou Kyoukai) says they were told by USAF officials that the viewing was canceled on fears that it would “upset” North Korea, and that the situation has “changed”!

And at the yearly Supreme People’s Assembly in Pyongyang, North Korea (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, DPRK), officials voted to increase nuclear power and rocket programs.

South Korea’s recently ‘elected’ President, Park Geun-hye, asked her military units to forget political differences: “In this crisis of security, our military’s role is very important in securing the Republic of Korea’s sovereign power and security. As commander in chief of the armed forces, I will trust the military’s judgment on abrupt and surprise provocations by North Korea.”

She even revealed how important North Korea’s Kaesŏng Industrial Region (KIR) is to the economy of South Korea: “We should also monitor the safety of our people in the Kaesong Industrial District.”

According to Canadian media, South Korean capitalist corporations made $470 million USD worth of products using the massive North Korean labor camp.

Several surveys conducted in South Korea (Republic of Korea, ROK) revealed that many ROKies want their own nukes!

A Gallop Korea poll shows 64% want nukes in South Korea.  Another poll done for Asan Institute for Policy Studies showed 66.5% support South Korea making its own nukes.  The polls were conducted back in February!

World War 3: F-22 Raptors deployed to South Korea! Confusing media reports.

31 March 2013/19 Jumada l-Ula 1434/11 Farvardin 1391/20 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

The United States has deployed F-22 Raptors to South Korea, however, main streamer media is giving different reasons.

Some media sources say it’s part of annual Foal Eagle war games, while others say it is a direct response to North Korea’s increased threats of war. One media source said it was both.

Also confusing is that some media sources say the F-22s were deployed from the U.S., while other sources say they are from the U.S. Kadena Air Base in Japan.

World War 3: North Korea has tactical nukes targeting U.S. bases in Japan! Attack map revealed! North Korea standing up for slave laborers of U.S. backed South Korea real reason for War!

31 March 2013/19 Jumada l-Ula 1434/11 Farvardin 1391/20 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

The North Korean newspaper, Rodong Sinmun, stated that U.S. bases in Japan and Guam are being targeted with weapons that are equivalent to tactical nuclear weapons.

Also, recently it was pointed out that photos of Kim Jong Un in a war room meeting show a wallmap in the background indicating attack points on the United States.  Some of the targets are located on the Atlantic coast.  One analyst pointed out that the straight lines drawn on the map can’t be true indicators of attack because planes and ICBMs don’t fly in straight lines:  “It seems reasonable to suppose that the target map is designed for home consumption and to create an impression of war readiness for DPRK citizens that is part of a wider policy of strengthening national resolve.”-John Swenson-Wright, University of Cambridge

And in an apparent move to show that the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is not desperate for western cash, Kim Jong Un threatened to close down the Gaeseong slave wage labor complex (aka Kaesŏng Industrial Region, aka KIR).  The massive labor camp was set up in a 2002 deal between North and South Korea.  The North provides dirt cheap labor for western capitalist corporations from South Korea (Republic of Korea).  According to Japanese media reports that labor camp employees 50000 North Koreans.

In 2009 North Korea demanded more money for the KIR workers.  Up ’till then workers were paid a paltry $75 USD per month!  North Korean officials wanted the pay increased to $300 per month.  Notice this is about the time the United States ramped up anti-North Korean rhetoric, and North Korea responded with the nuke testing!

By 2012 the average pay for KIR workers was only $160 per month.  That’s one fifth the minimum wage in South Korea, and a quarter of what most Chinese slave wage workers make.  Also, North Korea decided it was time for the U.S. backed South Korean companies to pay their fare share in taxes.  Many of the capitalist corporations claimed that even with the slave wages they were paying they weren’t making profits!

Maybe DPRK’s threat to shut down the KIR is a realization that the U.S. backed ROK is addicted to the cheap North Korean labor, and perhaps will hurt the South’s economy more than the North’s.

There are currently 123 South Korean companies taking advantage of the cheap North Korean labor.  Everything from clothing to jewelry to automotive parts to electronics are made there.

World War 3: U.S. B-2 bombers fly dry/cold runs over South Korea, North Korea responds by putting artillery rockets on standby! North Korea tells China there will be no war?

29 March 2013/17 Jumada l-Ula 1434/09 Farvardin 1391/18 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

“He [Kim Jong-un] finally signed the plan on technical preparations of strategic rockets, ordering them to be on standby to fire so that they may strike any time the U.S. mainland, its military bases in the operational theaters in the Pacific, including Hawaii and Guam, and those in South Korea.”-announcement made in English by North Korea’s Korean Central News Agency

U.S. B-2 bombers have joined aging B-52s in a demonstration of force against the Democratic People’s republic of Korea.  Kim Jong-un responded by putting on standby the DPRK’s Strategic Rocket Force.

On Thursday the B-2 bombers made attack runs with dummy bombs on the Jik Islet off Gunsan, after flying non-stop from continental United States.  North Korea put their rocket force on standby at 30 minutes after midnight Friday.

North Korean officials say the sudden and open demonstration by the U.S. of it’s B-2 bombers in South Korean war games is an intentional ramping up of tensions by the U.S.   This is apparently the first time B-2s were used in the joint war games in Republic of Korea.

In a confusing development, Korean media reporting that the DPRK’s General Bureau of Tourism recently told Chinese travel agencies “Don’t worry. There will be no war on the Korean Peninsula, so send as many tourists as possible.”

World War 3: North Korea cuts off remaining phone lines, Kim Jong Un issues never before heard order, tells UN that South Korea will be nuked!

27 March 2013/15 Jumada l-Ula 1434/07 Farvardin 1391/16 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

Democratic People’s Republic of Korea cutoff the last phone line to the Republic of Korea.  It was a line used to coordinate the movement of workers from South Korea to an industrial complex in North Korea.

DPRK officials said they will have no more communications with ROK or the U.S.  It also indicates they are willing to end the industrial/economic agreement with ROK.

Yesterday,  Kim Jong Un issued a “combat duty posture number one” order, saying military units needed to be ready to strike.  U.S. officials blew it off as rhetoric.  South Korean analysts say they’ve never heard of such an order from North Korea, so they are a little concerned.

To add to that the DPRK sent the UN Security Council a message saying the whole thing is the fault of the United States, and that if it came to war the North would definitely nuke the South: “….The DPRK has its own powerful precision means for nuclear attack and nuclear war methods.  The south Korean puppets who are behaving recklessly under their master’s nuclear umbrella will experience a sound by-blow of a nuclear attack when a war breaks out between the DPRK and the U.S…….the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK openly informs the UN Security Council that the Korean Peninsula is now in a touch-and-go situation due to the nuclear war provocation moves of the U.S. and south Korean puppets.  The DPRK army and people that have become one with the Supreme Command are entering the final stage of the all-out showdown with the U.S…..”
