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: War Messsage from Supreme Command of the Korean People’s Army

Kim Jong-un is not sole dictator of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.  Korea, north, should be thought of as one huge army base, run by Songun (Sŏn’gun).  Songun is the national military first policy of the DPRK, which means it’s actually the ‘general staff’ that’s making many policy decisions.

The following excerpts are from the  08 March 2013/25 Raby’ ath-Thani 1434/18 Esfand 1391/Juche 102 DPRK war declaration.

“First, the DPRK abrogates all agreements on nonaggression reached between the north and the south.

The frantic Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military exercises being staged by the south Korean warmongers together with the U.S. in the land, air and seas of south Korea with huge armed forces, nuclear-powered carrier flotilla, strategic bombers and other nuclear strike hardware involved are open acts of aggression against the DPRK and a vivid expression of wanton violation of all the agreements on nonaggression reached between the north and the south.

The south Korean puppet forces are working with bloodshot eyes to invade the DPRK in collusion with the U.S…… 

Therefore, the DPRK officially declares that from the moment the Korean Armistice Agreement is made totally invalid on March 11 all the said agreements will be completely nullified.

The DPRK will mercilessly punish the enemies through prompt crushing retaliatory strikes, not bound to the above-said agreements, if they intrude into its land and territorial air and waters even an inch and fire even a single shell at them.

Second, the DPRK totally nullifies the joint declaration on the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

The U.S. is the arch criminal who introduced nuclear weapons to south Korea more than 60 years ago and has threatened the DPRK with nukes, spawning the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula. The south Korean puppet forces are the accomplices who shielded and encouraged the U.S. shipment of nuclear weapons into south Korea and have danced to the tune of the U.S. in its moves for a nuclear war against the DPRK.

The U.S. and the puppet forces’ nuclear war moves against the DPRK virtually put an end to the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula long ago and rendered the joint declaration on its denuclearization totally meaningless.

Hence, the DPRK re-clarifies that the joint declaration on the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula has become totally invalid……..

Third, the DPRK will close the Panmunjom liaison channel between the north and the south.

There is nothing to talk to the puppet group of traitors hell-bent on the moves for a war of aggression against the north, blinded with confrontation and hostility towards compatriots. What remains to be done is to settle accounts with them by physical force only…….

We will never miss the golden chance to wage a great war for national reunification.”

World War 3: China calls for calm after North Korea declares War!

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

China voted for the latest UN sanctions against Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, which led to Pyongyang’s declaration of war.

Now China is calling for calm: “China calls on relevant parties to exercise calm and restraint, and avoid actions that might further escalate tensions.”-Hua Chunying, spokeswoman Chinese Foreign Ministry

Chinese officials defended their vote against Democratic People’s Republic of Korea by saying it was “…objective and fair…”

World War 3: Israeli soldier desecrates Qur’an, IDF attacks al-Aqsa Mosque! Israel continues attacks on Gaza! U.S. begins Leviathan war games with Israel.

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

Israeli soldiers attacked protesting Palestinians at the al-Aqsa Mosque.  Palestinians responded with firebombs.

The protest has been ongoing since Israeli soldiers stormed the Mosque on 03 March 2013.  They broke up a Qur’an recitation, with one IDF troop kicking and trampling the Qur’an.

No mention by U.S. media!

Also not mentioned is that fact that Israel has not stopped attacking Gazans. The latest attack involves an attack by IDF personnel on farmers in the town of Jabalia.   One Palestinian wounded.  This is yet another violation of the most recent cease fire agreement. Last week six Palestinians were wounded by IDF troops in Gaza Strip.

The navies of United States, Greece and Israel have begun two week long war games.  This is a continuation of war games started in 2011 called Noble Dina. The main purpose of the war games is to protect new natural gas operations in the massive Leviathan petroleum fields under the Mediterranean Sea.

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.

World War 3: North Korean officer reveals they have ballistic missiles with nukes aimed at United States! Tit for tat continues, will it end in nuclear war?

07 March 2013/24 Raby’ ath-Thani 1434/17 Esfand 1391

At a rally held in Pyongyang, Korea, a military officer revealed to the crowds that they have inter-continental ballistic missiles (ICBM), armed with new smaller nuclear warheads, aimed at the United States.

This comes shortly after the government of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea said they reserve the right to make preemptive nuclear strikes against the capital cities of their enemies, like the U.S.

That followed the United Nations Security Council passing a new sanctions resolution against the East Asian country.  Also, Australia announced it would not allow Pyongyang to re-open their embassy in Canberra.

And those actions followed a threat from Pyongyang to nullify the armistice that ended the Korean War in 1953.

That threat came because of the announced military war games held by the United States and the Republic of Korea.  Those war games are being conducted now.

This year’s tit for tat can be traced back to the launch of a rocket by Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, which was followed by an underground nuclear weapons test.

What Economic Recovery? List of U.S. job losses & store closings for 06 February 2013: A company’s financial fraud now threatens thousands of employees! Illinois hit hard, again! Hollywood continues to say “Cut!” to employees. Warren Buffett likes that Heinz laid off employees in Idaho? Schools hit hard! The nuke disaster you never heard about! Even elites are feeling the pinch!

Lyon Workspace Products (LWP) of Illinois goes bankrupt. The company also gave a WARN notice that it could layoff more than 400 employees! Company officials say they are trying to sell the business.  LWP has been making sheet metal products since 1901.

1200 jobs lost in Illinois according to announcements by several companies!  Those companies are Kmart, Walgreens, Sun-Times Media, already mentioned Lyon Workspace Products, Best Buy, Georgia-Pacific Corrugated, Kroger and Cardinal Health.

Also in Illinois, Jewel grocery will close three Chicago area stores. The parent company, SUPERVALU is selling Jewel off to Cerberus Capital (an evil Romneyite vulture capitalist operation).

Delhaize America continues to slash and burn grocery store jobs across the country. This time a North Carolina TV station interviewed an unnamed source at Food Lion. They said Delhaize America is planning on eliminating another 500 jobs!

In Florida, North Carolina based Duke Energy strikes again, this time closing down a nuclear power plant. The Crystal River 3 Nuclear Plant has actually been shut down after botched repairs were made in 2009. Don’t worry, people will be employed for the next 60 years in order to totally close down the nuclear disaster site. Oh, you didn’t know about that nuke disaster?  In 2009 a crack was found in a containment dome (for how long was it there before being found?), and federal investigators say it was caused by employees. Attempted repairs were unsuccessful.

Frontier Airlines to layoff 700 employees! A Florida TV station said a company rep told them that 700 jobs will be outsourced.

Also in Florida, Universal Health Care Group now bankrupt. Two of the company’s subdivisions are in receivership. Recently New Jersey based health insurer, Care Point, won an auction to take over Universal Health.  The $33.25 million USD take over bid must be approved by state regulators.  Universal Health Care has been accused of financial fraud by the Florida Insurance Commissioner, and even state regulators in Ohio and Georgia expressed concern over the company’s seemingly intentional financial mismanagement.  The company employes at least a thousand people across the country.

In Kentucky, the Knox County Hospital closing down its Long Term Care Facility.  Officials say it is losing more than one million dollars per year!  Also, in Wurtland SunChemical Performance Pigments closing down. 30 jobs lost.  Company officials gave no explanation or warning: “This kind of blindsided us. They never asked us to do anything and I never had any indication they were having problems.”-Bobby Carpenter, Greenup County Judge-Executive

The Home Eco store in Saint Louis, Missouri, closed down.  The owners started the “sustainable home building supplies” store in 2005, but said now that the big national chain stores are carrying the same products they can no longer compete.

As I’ve reported before, the Heinz frozen food factory in Pocatello, Idaho, ending production of T.G.I. Friday’s frozen entrees. 80 jobs lost.  Shortly afterwards Warren Buffett announced he was investing big into Heinz.  Investors from Brazil, known as 3G Capital, joined Buffett in the Heinz take over because they also own Burger King, which uses a lot of Heinz ketchup. 3G Capital is known for “cutting up” companies (typical Romneyite vulture capitalists) so it’s expected Heinz will layoff more people. Also, there are now reports of an inside trader investigation.

Heinz Frozen Food factory, Pocatello, Idaho. Ending production of T.G.I. Friday's frozen meals, switching to frozen snacks.

The movie and animation studio DreamWorks continues to layoff animation employees. This is due to losing money on its most recent animation movies.

In Fresno, California, the elitist Downtown Club is going down. After 50 years the club for wealthy members only closed down. Club owners blamed it on declining membership and increasing costs of operations.  They admitted that for the past 20 years they’ve been debt financing operations.

In El Paso, Texas, an icon in U.S. vacuum cleaner history, Hoover laying off 151 people! Hoover is actually owned by a Hong Kong based company called TTI.  The El Paso factory makes parts for assembly in Mexico. TTI officials said they are not moving jobs to Mexico, so it appears the company is simply reducing production.

In Virginia, the Alleghany County School board said they might be forced to close three elementary schools. They blame declining student enrollment, saying their schools are averaging only 54% capacity.  Also, the Norfolk Public Schools will have 108 jobs cut! School officials say they’re $18 million short: “We have been cut to the bone. And when you are unable to stop the bleeding, the cuts just get closer and closer to the classroom.”-Kirk Houston, school board chairman

In Michigan, the Grand Rapids Public Schools is laying off almost 200 employees, and closing ten schools!!! Officials said they need to save $4.4 million.

Lockheed Martin is trying to buyout mid-level managers. Lockheed is trying to cut 350 positions, and said it has nothing to do with the federal sequestration spending cuts: “The reduction in force is designed to best position the business to remain competitive and operationally efficient, providing the most affordable solutions to our customers.”-Keith Mordoff

One thousand companies refuse to pay their electric bills!

04 March 2013/21 Raby’ ath-Thani 1434/14 Esfand 1391

One thousand companies are refusing to pay their higher electric bills, in Japan.

Back in April 2012, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCo) raised their rates by an average of 14.9%.  This was to help cover the costs of dealing with the ongoing Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster.

The thousand businesses formally stated they will not renew electricity contracts with TEPCo. TEPCo officials say they have no choice but to shut off power to those companies.

Government & Corporate Incompetence: Lies exposed about people being exposed to radiation, & more fish turning up with outrageously higher levels of contamination!

28 February 2013/17 Raby’ ath-Thani 1434/10 Esfand 1391

Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCo), operator of the damaged Fukushima Daiichi General Electric reactors, revealed that rock trout caught in the Pacific Ocean near the nuclear power plant, contain 510000 becquerels of cesium per kilogram!!!

Holy crap retiring Popeman, the official safe limit is only 100 becquerels per kilogram!!!

The fish was caught on 17 February 2013.  This is yet more proof that the GE designed disaster reactors are still pumping massive amounts of radiation into the ocean.  (and remember, the prevailing ocean current brings that radiation straight to the west coast of North America)

And here’s proof that contamination is increasing: Back in December 2012 they caught a fish that had 234000 becquerels of cesium per kilogram.  So in the past two months the levels went up by 256000 becquerels!

And for more insult to injury, TEPCo has refused to make mandatory yearly reports on the the amount of radiation contamination that employees encounter!  That’s according to the Japanese Radiation Effects Association (REA).

Officials with the REA say TEPCo stopped making the reports in 2011 (the year of the melt downs). 21000 employees have been involved in trying to contain the ongoing nuclear disaster. TEPCo publicly apologized and gave the excuse that they’ve been having problems “digitizing” the info, and they hope to submit the two years of missing data to the REA in March 2013.

Muslim scientist invents new nano water filter to cleanup radioactive cesium and even strontium!

22 February 2013/11 Raby’ ath-Thani 1434/04 Esfand 1391

12 years ago an Egyptian scientist moved to Japan, to work with the National Institute for Material Science to create new water filters with nanotechnology.  Sherif El-Safty’s motivation was to help North African countries filter well water, which has a high rate of arsenic contamination.

After the 11 March 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster his Japanese colleges discovered that not only was his nanofilter working on natural contaminants, but it was cleaning up radioactive iodine as well.  Safty had been ordered back to Egypt by the Egyptian government, but returned to Japan, along with his family, after getting the news about the filter.

Safty focused on refining the filter, after three months he came up with nanofilters for radioactive iodine, cesium and even strontium.

The nanofilter (made up of HOM dust) traps the radiation in its itsy bitsy pores (one millionth of a millimeter).  In a lab demonstration Safty showed how a magnet can be used to pull the nanofilters out of the water.

This is not the first time that Safty’s, and his co-researchers’, experiments with HOM mesoporous carriers resulted in success.  Last year they created optical sensors that could detect and remove tiny bits of cobalt and gold from urban ore (discarded cell phones, computers, etc).

The Japanese government has just approved the experimental use of the nano water filters at Fukushima Daiichi, as the GE designed disaster reactors are still pouring out contaminated water.
