  • Kim Jong-Un is making bio-weapons

    Kim Jong-Un is making bio-weapons

    The UK’s Daily Mail says that, somehow, Harvard’s Kennedy School professors’ research says that NDtBF is manufacturing chemical and biological weapons to confront the West;

    A report by the Belfer Centre of Harvard University’s Kennedy School stated the hermit kingdom was preparing the stock of lethal potions.

    Quoting the South Korean Defense Ministry, it said: ‘North Korea has 13 types of biological weapons agents which it can weaponize within ten days, and anthrax and smallpox are the likely agents it would deploy.’

    The report went on to say: ‘Agents like anthrax could cause mass casualties with a small amount: only a few kilograms of anthrax, equivalent to a few bottles of wine, released into a dense city could kill 50 percent of the population.

    I don’t know how a bunch of pointy-headed denizens of Harvard sequestered behind ivy-covered walls could possibly know this, especially since the hermit kingdom is effectively closed to visitors, but there it is. I always figured that they were making those types of weapons because of who they are and I’m pretty sure that war planners are taking NBC (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical) weapons into account.

    More toxic, perhaps, is the rhetoric coming out of North Korea;

    ‘The darkness drooping low over America is sunset, not dawn, and no force can stop America from rushing headlong into downhill after over-living its era.

    ‘No wonder, such hooligan as thoughtless Trump is going on the rampage after becoming owner of White House, rendering the world restless.

    ‘Lunatic Trump is running headlong into ruin, taking America with him, and the poor puppet forces are following him, at the peril of their lives.

    ‘It would be needless to regret when they are about to fall off a cliff of era, together with their master.’

    Coming from a country that still depends on wood-burning trucks for motor transport.

  • Dunford: US should assume we’re in range of North Korean nukes

    Dunford: US should assume we’re in range of North Korean nukes

    Stars & Stripes reports that Marine General Joseph Dunford, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff told the Senate Armed Services Committee that the US should just assume that North Korea can target cities on our mainland with their nuclear weapons.

    American intelligence officials believe North Korea could be able to strike the U.S. mainland as early as late 2018. Dunford, who is expected to be confirmed easily to serve a second term as chairman of the Joint Chiefs, said Tuesday that he agrees with that assessment.

    “Whether it’s three months or six months or 18 months, it is soon,” he said. “We ought to conduct ourselves as though it is just a matter of time, a matter of very short time, before North Korea has that capability.”

    The North Koreans claim that the US has declared war on them and they threaten to act like they’re at war with us, like they haven’t been doing that already.

    Dunford, who did not specifically comment on the political rhetoric, said the United States, for now, is adequately protected against threats to U.S. territory. But he urged lawmakers to invest in upgrades to the nation’s ballistic missile defense, which will be needed as North Korea – and other nations – increase their capabilities.

    “Frankly, I think we should assume today that North Korea has that capability and has the will to use that capability,” he said.

    According to Newsweek the Russians have been flying their aircraft in practice runs at the Chinese and North Korean borders;

    Russia, like China, formally opposes North Korea’s nuclear ambitions. However both Moscow and Beijing have blamed U.S. military backing of South Korea and Japan for Pyongyang scaling up its nuclear weapons program.

    Earlier this month Russian President Vladimir Putin hinted that his country was coming to accept North Korea’s nuclear capabilities as a certainty rather than a possibility, telling the U.S. that irrespective of sanctions, North Koreans would “eat grass” if it meant acquiring nuclear arms.

    Yeah, they’re already munching on grass. Next up – a nutritious dirt diet.

  • Oh, yeah?!??? Yeah!!! Well, Take That!

    Latest news from the LSM is in the following articles. I’ve pulled info together from many sources. I was surprised that Express.co ran an article looking back at what Korea used to be like, but they must be waiting for The Big One, just as I am.

    From NBC news:  Pres. Trump is “a frightened dog” and “a gangster fond of playing with fire”  https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/north-korea-s-kim-jong-un-calls-president-trump-frightened-n803631

    This is after the Nork UN ambassador walked out of the room when Pres. Trump addressed the UN earlier this week.

    From CNN: diplomacy and more sanctions, but since they can’t tell a story without altering it, their version is likely to be heavily edited copy.   http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/21/politics/donald-trump-north-korea-sanctions/index.html

    From USA Today: ND:tBF is planning to test an H-bomb over the Pacific in what the Chubster Cheeseater terms “the highest level of hardline countermeasure in history”.  https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2017/09/22/north-korea-says-may-test-hydrogen-bomb-over-pacific-ocean/692122001/

    The article on Express.co.uk shows old photos of Korea long before the Kim regime took over, long before there was a Korean War that cost Korea 5 million lives and lasted 5 years.  http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/856909/World-war-3-North-Korea-latest-Kim-Jong-Un-Kim-dynasty-North-Korea-life-before-1900s

    But we must return to the present, and the threats of annihilation. Guam’s governor is pleased with Pres. Trump’s response to North Korea:  https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2017/09/20/guam-governor-eddie-calvo-donald-trump-north-korea/684185001/

    Pres. Trump says we’re “locked and loaded”:  http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/09/21/trumps-comments-on-north-korea-from-fire-and-fury-to-blaming-china.html

    I do have to question why Fox News would include a link that asks “Where is Guam and why would North Korea attack it” in that article. That may be a nod to the portion of their audience who is without a clue about the world.

    With all this bitch-slapping, pinching, poking, and eye-gouging going on, I will simply have to go cut down the remains of the sunflowers and bag them for pickup on Monday. Just keep a weather eye, as I do, on the horizon to the west of us and the news.  I will not be surprised if Fatty Kim da T’ird does test another Big Nuke before long, nor will I be surprised if he does it in the open air.  Something about his big explosions, rendered one at a time, tells me that he can only build one at a time, period.  Iran has a bigger production capacity, but can’t seem to get a missile onto a launch pad.   I guess we should be grateful for small favors, perhaps?

    Personally, I’m keeping a weather eye on Guam. While the Guamaians are going about their business as usual, they know they are targeted by that Fat Basterd and act accordingly. At this point, he seems to be mostly scaring the Japanese, but they have responded by increasing their own military readiness.

    Hey, it’s Friday. Watching Norkiland and Fatty Kim da T’ird’s fist shaking kind of makes up for an overheated Autumn Equinox. (Thanks, Hurr. Irma!)  Barbados got hit rather hard this time, which means their Sea Island cotton crop may be gone for the year, so that will make those $500 shirts much more expensive.

  • Rocket Man

    Well, well, well. I knew that fat little toad was pushy and somewhat clever, and I also knew that his rapidly-promoted Kim Jong Sik was the genius behind improving the rocket science program. But the more recent news was that ND:tBF was using mostly solid fuel engines because they are easier and quicker to set up and launch.

    While I do try to keep up to date on Whoopie Boy over there in the Starving North, there are other things that occasionally get my attention, such as feeding my herd of pussies.

    So here’s the latest: Kim Jong Un’s rocket science experiments now show that he can make his own liquid fuel, UDMH aka unsymmetrical di-methyl hydrazine.

    http://www.news.com.au/technology/innovation/volatile-fuel-behind-north-koreas-missile-threat/news-story/53d33a7b1a3fdb7e02e30f475534be32

    It does not require the use of oil, so cutting off his fuel oil supply is wasted energy, and anyway, he doesn’t care a whit how many Norks starve or freeze to death in Norkiland’s coming winter. Why would he? He has refuges hollowed out in the mountains. Remember that? And he does not care at all that it is extremely toxic stuff.

    There’s a NASA video about the US rocket program embedded in the Aussie article, but the link for the YouTube video is here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDRKeM9kKxs

    My understanding is that NASA went to solid fuel rockets partly because they were safer. Here’s a link to a tour through NASA’s rocket engine science section: https://www.grc.nasa.gov/www/k-12/airplane/rocket.html

    Pres. Trump intends to address this issue at the UN this week. Aussie Foreign Minister Julie Bishop has identified the issue as a priority for her meetings in New York this week. Maybe they feel somewhat threatened by it, too.

    So there you have it: Fatty Kim da T’ird has not only been improving his rocket launches; he’s also been working hard on the nasty, toxic compounds that will send them higher, faster and further. He fired off a Hwasong-12 the other day. This time, it didn’t break up and fall down quite so quickly. His test shots are going higher and further, which means that a slightly more shallow trajectory to reach Guam is within his grasp.

    Unfortunately, he’s scaring the Japanese, who are now into daily bomb shelter drills and for all I know, may go hourly on that. The current sanctions, frankly, do not seem to have much of an effect on ND:tBF, because he has his own larder and the Norks in general can starve where he’s concerned, unless he wants his ego fed by a parade. And he does not need oil to fuel his engines.

    Spain has expelled the Nork ambassador. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2017/09/19/spain-expels-north-korean-ambassador/680077001/

    The US military dropped live bombs at the Pilsung training range in South Korea on Sunday. http://www.pacom.mil/Media/News/News-Article-View/Article/1314000/japanese-korean-and-us-aircraft-conduct-show-of-force-in-response-to-north-kore/

    This is where it becomes ridiculous. But unless he actually hits one of our territories or allies’ territories, is it appropriate to pound him? We also must remember that he can and does sell this technology to Iran and other bad governments.

    I’ve said before that I may point and snicker, but I take this pompous-assed bully as seriously as cancer.

  • The Cheesiest War Ever – Update: Nork Missiles Fired

    According to the article from Express.co.uk, Fatty Kim da T’ird may be stomping his feet and threatening us with World War III because of his addiction to emmentaler Swiss cheese, which he seems to be importing by the ton.

    http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/854107/north-korea-news-attack-war-world-war-3-kim-jong-un-cheese

    If, as the article indicates, he suffers from gout and is being treated with steroids for it, it can explain his increasingly aggressive and erratic behavior. But since he comes from a hereditary line of people who kill anyone who looks at them cross-eyed, the steroids may only be a part of it., aggravating what may be an inherited trait in the Kim family.

    Our own IDC_SARC may have a professional opinion on this gouty matter. My father had gout, and was taking something for it – don’t know what it was – but he refused to stop his after-hours pounding down half a bottle of Jack Daniels at night.

    Ordinary North Koreans are living in desperate poverty, despite the PR photos to the contrary.  The majority of them suffer from stunted growth due to lack of  proper nutrition as children. The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization reported that 84 per cent of homes suffer from borderline poor or poor food consumption. The infant mortality rate is 33 per cent, per the World Food Program’s report.  I’m not sure what ‘borderline poor nutrition’ is, but I never thought I would say that North Koreans may be better off than Venezuelans.

    So Fatt Kim da T’ird’s people are starving to death while he suffers from gout.  And ND:tBF waddles on, shaking his pudgy fists at the West, engaging in roid rages and threatening us all with annihilation.  So be it.

    However, there is some light in this darkness. In regard to a possible start to World War III by the cheesy little emmentaler slayer in Norkiland, the South yesterday tested one of its own missiles, which was right on target.  BOOM!

    http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/853804/World-War-3-South-Korea-tests-missiles-in-Seoul-against-North-Korea

    It was on the news last night. I slept well when I saw that very successful and accurate bit of target practice.

    This is an update, from the evening news: North Korea fired at least one missile aimed eastward over Hokkaido Island, Japan’s northernmost island, at 7AM Japan time.  BBC has some info at the link:  http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-41275614

    An alert was sent out over cell phones to all Japanese citizens.

    There will be more to come.

    I haven’t seen anything from the USGovernment yet, but Pres. Trump and VP Pence are in Florida meeting with locals down there about storm damage.

    Keep your eyes and ears open.

  • UN approves sanctions on North Korea

    UN approves sanctions on North Korea

    Stars & Stripes reports that the UN’s Security Council approved new sanctions against North Korea that would limit their imported petroleum as well as their textile exports. Quite a feat since their major trading partner, China, has a permanent seat on the council.

    The resolution, responding to Pyongyang’s sixth and strongest nuclear test explosion on Sept. 3, does ban North Korea from importing all natural gas liquids and condensates. It also bans all textile exports and prohibits any country from authorizing new work permits for North Korean workers — two key sources of hard currency for the northeast Asian nation.

    As for energy, it caps Pyongyang’s imports of crude oil at the level of the last 12 months, and it limits the import of refined petroleum products to 2 million barrels a year.

    The watered-down resolution does not include sanctions that the U.S. wanted on North Korea’s national airline and the army.

    Trump wanted to shut down their petroleum imports and freeze their assets, but that wasn’t going to happen, considering China’s veto in the Security Council.

    Nonetheless, U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley told the council after the vote that “these are by far the strongest measures ever imposed on North Korea.” But she stressed that “these steps only work if all nations implement them completely and aggressively.”

    I know Haley isn’t liked by many conservatives, but she’s proving to be the right person in the right place, representing US interests in the UN.

  • No Nork War Just Yet

    Here’s more news about Norkiland, including a reference at the end to the solar storms generated by a large sunspot (a cluster?) going on right now.

    https://www.cnbc.com/2017/09/08/north-koreas-next-missile-launch-could-come-saturday-as-it-plays-chicken-with-us.html

    The article references changing the angle of the missile’s guidance system to a flatter trajectory to hit a specific target. Guam was his last threat (here) which means that he’s still peeved at not getting quite enough attention, and it’s all out fault.

    It’s mostly rehashing what was on the news last night, but since Irma is more of an attention hog than the Cheeseslayer, the reports on Noriland’s chief Numbnuts were slim.

    However, Pres. Trump did indicate that while warfare is a possibility, it will be a sad day if it does come to that. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-northkorea-missiles-system/trump-sad-day-for-north-korea-if-u-s-takes-military-action-idUSKCN1BI07P?feedType=RSS&feedName=topNews

    Here’s a reminder from a couple of days ago that Kim Cheese does have some big boomers.  From 09-06-2017 – a Google Earth shot of landslides at Nork nuke test site: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-41170940

    And in case anyone thinks it was just another possible false flag, this is the USGS’s seismic report of an explosion in that area, followed by a 6.3M quake on 9-4-2017:

    https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us2000aert#executive

    Well, really, if ND:tBF is that anxious about getting attention, he needs to lawyer up, hire a disbarred sloppy attorney from Florida to represent him and sue Pres. Trump because he’s not getting enough attention from us. They have similar personalities and Fatty Kim da T’ird has a lot of cash from his suspected theft of Bangla Desh’s $81 million deposit account in the New Yok  Federal Reserve Bank earlier this summer

  • A Slap In the Face

    Here is a transcript of her additional remarks https://usun.state.gov/remarks/7954

    Ambassador Nikki Haley

    U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations

    U.S. Mission to the United Nations

    New York City

    September 4, 2017

    AS DELIVERED

    Mr. President, due to the urgency of the situation with the nuclear test, as well as the announcement by North Korea that they are planning for another ICBM test, we want to urge the Council to move very quickly on this.

    I think that North Korea basically has slapped everyone in the face in the international community that has asked them to stop, so the United States will be circulating a resolution that we want to negotiate this week and vote on on Monday. So just wanted to let the members know.

    I know that some are going to Addis, but we wanted to make sure that we will do that on Monday when we can get those negotiations finished. Thank you.

    ” slapped everyone in the face” is not mincing words at all.

    Fatty Kim da T’ird is itching for a fight. As Amb. Haley says, he wants a war. That much is as clear as a bell.  Anyone who thinks that, because I point and snicker at him, I don’t take him seriously, is badly mistaken.

    I grew up under the constant implied threat of nuclear war with Red China and the Soviet Union. Our house was barely 10 miles from ground zero in a target city, with a heavy equipment factory, a grain processing plant, an electronics factory, a tire factory and a sizable railyard.  Those are still in place today, as well as an additional grain processing plant. Both of these companies process corn and soybeans for the fuels industry. In addition to these, the  hospital where my mother worked is now a major medical teaching hospital, and the university that I graduated from has expanded its curriculum exponentially into current events, as well as adding two new master’s degree programs some time back.

    Any large city was a target city, whether it was New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Diego, or Washington, DC, and whether or not it was near a military base. Pensacola, FL, was and still is home to Navy tech schools and ships, and a naval aviation training command.  It was a target city then and still is today.

    I think it’s far past time we got (Vlad Putin) Russia and (Xi Jinping) China, along with Japan, France, Israel and South Korea, into the White House for another kitchen table conference. And maybe it’s time someone put the screws to Iran, once and for all.  Vlad Putin (smooches) has stated that sanctions do not work on North Korea.  http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/850109/north-korea-news-latest-war-usa-trump-nuclear-bomb-missile-test-launch-south

    I miss the Cold War more than I thought I would.
