US HYSTERIA OVER NORTH KOREA IS VERY STUPID

EASY READING CULTURE OF LIFE NEWS:

The US is going totally insane over the North Korea missile launch.  For the world’s #1 nuclear bomb manic to complain about others being capable of blowing up stuff, is beyond silly.  China has let us know in no uncertain terms, we must use diplomacy, not threats, on North Korea.  But Obama has to sound like Bush and act like Bush so he looks as stupid as Bush and being a CFR tool, he can’t help but do the wrong thing and beat the war drums.

Obama Threatens North Korea Over Launch | News From Antiwar.com

Early this morning, North Korea, in spite of repeated warnings from the United States and some of its allies,launched its long-range missile test. And while the launch appears to have had mixed results, that did not stop President Obama from condemning it as a “provocation.”

Obama was reportedly awakened at 4:30 AM with news of the test, and from the hostility in his comments he seemed like he could have used a better night’s sleep. In his speech today, Obama declared that “North Korea broke the rules once more by testing a rocket that could be used for a long-range missile.” He added that it “underscores the need for action – not just this afternoon at the UN Security Council, but in our determination to prevent the spread of these weapons.”

The US is the only nation on earth to not only drop nuclear bombs on civilians but who continued to produce these bombs and aim them, via missiles as well as on aircraft, aim them at all the major cities of anyone who we perceive as a potential ‘enemy’.  We set this death machine on a hair trigger system and it is always quite ready to spring into action.

Of all things on earth, this is the most deadly and has the greatest potential of launching WWIII with little to no warning.  If humanity has to deal with real threats, the US nuclear arsenal is right there, at the very top.  By far and away.

Over the years, I have been very irritated by all this.  The US, far from keeping the peace, uses this massive arsenal to threaten everyone on earth and uses it as a carte blanche for unilateral permission to invade any non-nuclear armed nation on earth, with total impunity.  This is because, if any other major nation is against our invasions, we threaten them with total annihilation via nuclear war!  So everyone stands back and lets the US stomp around the planet, slapping other nations, killing millions of people with no permission from the UN, and in general, act the bully boy.

Meanwhile, we piously go about this same planet, armed to the teeth with nuclear bombs, talking about disarmament.  We showed how this works in 2003: a nation totally disarms and tries to appease the UN and lets in inspectors to prove this, the inspectors find no weapons at all and once it is confirmed, the nation is helpless, the US rolls in and butchers the civilians and kills off the leaders and loots the place!

The criminals who ran the US when this crime occurred have not been arrested or charged.  They should be put on trial and then hung until dead.  Instead, they roam the world, issuing threats.  The new leader has begun with fake talk about disarmament while doing exactly like all the previous lying bastards who pretended to be President.  The Doomsday Machine still runs, its deadly clock still ticks away, less than three minutes from midnight.  The Apocalyptic missiles sit ready, primed and waiting to roar forth and kill most humans.

So, when any nation in the line of sight of US military power tries even slightly, to arm themselves, they are subjected to a massive propaganda campaign coupled with amazing amounts of hypocrisy and duplicity.

Russian space control: DPRK satellite not placed in orbit_English_Xinhua

The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) has not placed its satellite into the near-Earth orbit, Russian media reported Monday.

“Our space control system has not registered the placement of the DPRK satellite into orbit. According to our data, it simply is not there,” the Interfax news agency cited a high-ranking source with the Russian General Staff as saying.

The DPRK’s official media reported Sunday that the country successfully launched a rocket carrying the “Kwangmyongsong-2” communications satellite which entered orbit about 10 minutes after launch.

Neither Russia nor China are very much bothered by all this.  But then, North Korea has no bones to pick with either.  On the other hand, Japan is terrified of a nuclear Korea.  This is their nightmare scenario.  US policy is based on an assumption that Korea and Japan are good allies and the love is spread all over the place.  Japan never paid reparations for the many years of enslavement and criminal actions against Korea.  And Korea hasn’t forgotten this, either.

There are many things that were papered over by the US after WWII.  And we have to fix these now.  They were all frozen in place thanks to the communist revolutions which allowed the US to excuse Japan over the issue of fixing both Korea and China after Japan’s invasions and destructions.  But thanks to the near-total collapse in real US power, things are thawing out.  Countries allied with Japan thanks to the US are now slowly shifting towards an alliance with China, against Japan!

Chinese UN ambassador: Security Council reaction to DPRK launch should be “cautious and proportionate”

The Chinese permanent representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Zhang Yesui, made the statement to the press here at the end of a closed-door meeting of the Security Council. The 15-nation Council on Sunday afternoon held an emergency session on the rocket launch by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) at the request of Japan.

“The reaction of the Security Council should be cautious and proportionate,” Zhang said.

“It served the common interests of the international community to continue to promote the Six-Party Talks, achieve denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and maintain peace and stability on the Peninsula and in Northeast Asia,” he said.

The Chinese don’t want to rock the US or Japanese boats so they always talk cautious while always relentlessly shoving both the US and Japan backwards and out of Korea and Taiwan.  This is a long, slow evolutionary process that has been mostly in favor of Chinese plans of a new Asian power base.

The dissonance this week is painfully obvious: Obama makes a publicity speech about disarming everyone and even leaving the impression, the US might do this too.  Then, in the dead of night, he turns into Dracula and screams for blood and war.  The effort to put the Europeans to sleep ALMOST worked.

People love to pretend, the North Koreans are insane.  They are brutal, they are nasty but they are NOT insane.  Over the years, I notice, they time things so to embarrass the US.  This latest launch is an obvious example.  This rocket had to go off right on the heels of Obama’s faux disarmament speech!  This way, the Koreans demonstrate to the world, the real face of US ‘diplomacy’: bloody, vicious, hair trigger fury and irresponsible threats!

We forget, there is a huge DISARMED audience out there who are rooting for North Korea to embarrass the US.  Huge numbers, billions of people hope the US is embarrassed and thwarted, too.  We are not popular in the UN, for example.  The hope that Obama might change anything at all is rapidly fading.  I pretty much, have given up on him at this point.  On with the show!   A show that ends with our own Götterdämmerunging mess.

The Raw Story | Gingrich: Attack North Korea with electromagnetic pulse

Only hours after North Korea launched a rocket, Newt Gingrich was on television saying the United States should have preemptively attacked the nuclear-armed country – with an electromagnetic pulse.

“We do not appreciate the scale of threat that is evolving on the planet,” the former House Speaker said on Fox News Sunday. “And North Korea is a totally irresponsible dictatorship run by a person who is clearly out of touch with reality.”

Both political parties are war mongers but the GOP is even stupider than the Democrats in this matter.  But the Democrats never have seen a military swamp they could resist jumping into and drowning.  We can thank the Council for Foreign Relations for this stupidity.  This group of infantile imperialists evidently, don’t read any history books, can’t put 2+2 together nor put their big, fat feet into someone else’s sandals.

This nest of incurious iniquity controls our foreign policy along with AIPAC.  They think, we can just IOU our way to imperial power and use bully boy tactics to rule the planet, unilaterally, so the whole world must accept our fiat currency and our fiat proclamations.  The CFR lunatics still think we won not only the Cold War but WWII.  This is utter fantasy.  The US lost the long struggle for power during the last 100 years.  We won several stages and each time, threw the entire victory away, with both hands.  Now, we are squabbling with a tiny, hermitic rump nation and losing every diplomatic encounter.

Poll: Voters back force in N. Korea

American voters across lines of age, party and gender support a military approach to eliminate North Korea’s nuclear capabilities, according to a Rasmussen Reports survey released Sunday morning — and conducted in the two days prior to North Korea’s test missile launch on Saturday.

The poll shows that 57 percent of all voters support such a response, while just 15 percent oppose it. A military response is favored by a majority in both parties — 66 percent of Republicans and 52 percent of Democrats — and by 57 percent of both men and women.

A majority of respondents, 51 percent, also oppose the U.S. offering economic aid to North Korea in exchange for it agreeing to dismantle its nuclear program.

Thanks to the immense amount of propaganda poured over the US like syrup over pancakes, a slight majority of the US public wants WWIII.  It doesn’t help that Zionists and End of Timers want the Apocalypse.  We think, we can rush right up next to China’s flank and bomb, bomb, bomb away with impunity.  We forget nearly all facts about the Korean War, which we did NOT win.  The Communists merely restored the border set by post-war negotiations between China, Russia and the US.  The US, on the other hand, ran our armies all the way to the border of China!

China hasn’t forgotten this tiny detail.  Nor, the details about how all the Western and Japanese military warlords and invaders of all sorts, ripped apart and destroyed China.  This is something the Chinese are very, very touchy about.  And they have nuclear bombs so we can’t bomb, bomb, bomb anything remotely near China.  During the Vietnam war, maniacs tried to get both LBJ and Nixon to nuke the northern borders INTO CHINA to stop the Vietnamese communists!  This would have started WWIII.

Also, notice that South Korea isn’t nearly as hysterical as the US public and Japan!

Senior CPC official: China-ROK ties see rapid growth_English_Xinhua

Li Changchun, a senior official of the Communist Party of China (CPC), said here Monday that the strategic and cooperative partnership between China and the Republic of Korea (ROK) has witnessed rapid growth thanks to concerted efforts made by both.

Li, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, made the remarks when meeting ROK President Lee Myung Bak.

Li first congratulated the successful meeting between Lee and Chinese President Hu Jintao amidst the G20 financial summit in London. Lee, in return, highly spoke of the contribution made by China to the results scored in the summit.

South Korea has probably figured out, the only way to deal with North Korea, is to cooperate with China.  Between them, they can deal with a much weaker, rump nation.  The rockets are NK’s attempt at evening out these negotiations.

Hu-Lee summit is the latest demonstration of high-level exchanges between China and ROK. The two countries, key economic partners to the other, also carry out cooperation in cultural, educational and scientific areas.

“We also strengthen communication and coordination on major global and regional issues, including China-Japan-ROK cooperation, climate change and international financial cooperation, thus ushering the China-ROK strategic and cooperative partnership in a new phase,” Li said.

“The development of relations with ROK takes an important position in China’s foreign policy for neighboring countries,” he added.

What the Dragon wants, the Dragon gets!  Note the ‘IMPORTANT POSITION’ Korea plays in Chinese foreign policy!  No surprise: Korea is Japan’s springboard into Asia!

To further develop such ties, Li suggested both nations maintain high-level exchanges for increasing mutual trust in political area. “Besides governmental contacts, the exchanges between parliaments and political parties should also be strengthened. And the exchanges among political parties should form a mechanism,” he said.

And I hear the death-knell of the US domination of South Korea!  Like Taiwan, South Korea gets to enjoy a huge trade surplus with the US.  But they are not stupid!  Both can see, the US is now so mired in debt, our days of buying, not trading, are ending.  Time to change gears and make nice with the biggest economic/military powerhouse right next door!

Li also proposed to make joint efforts for combating the spreading financial crisis and strengthening mutually beneficial cooperation. “We should adopt effective measures to ensure the steady growth of economic cooperation, increase cooperation in such key areas as energy, telecommunication, finance, logistic and environmental protection, and initiated negotiations of free-trade agreement at an early date,” he said.

Li licked his chops while outlining the desirable aspects of this rising South Korean/Chinese alliance.  And there is still room for the US to do business with both.  But not control either.

Korea, Navigating through the Global Headwinds, An article by Anoop Singh, Director, Asia and Pacific Department, International Monetary Fund

The Korean economy is one of the most globally integrated in the world, and while this integration has been a key factor behind Korea’s remarkable economic history, there is little doubt that the country is now particularly affected by the global crisis. Korean financial markets were hit particularly hard by the external shocks during October and November, as both domestic and foreign exchange liquidity tightened for banks with large wholesale financing requirements, and foreign investors retrenched from very liquid markets such as Korea. According to preliminary data, the economy contracted by 5.6 percent in the last quarter of 2008, over the previous quarter. Exports declined sharply with plummeting global demand, and this fed through to weaker consumption and investment as well.

Although the carryover effects of the very weak fourth quarter of 2008 mean that the headline growth number for 2009 will be substantially negative, we project that the economy should begin to recover during the second half of this year. A clearer picture for the performance of the economy this year can be seen by the fact that growth in the last quarter of 2009 compared with the last quarter of 2008 is expected to be positive 1 percent. This is broadly in line with projected global growth and above growth for all major advanced economies. Indeed, the Korean economy should return to potential in 2010.

What underpins the projected recovery in Korea? First, fundamentals are strong-the banking system is well capitalized, nonperforming loans are still low, and balance sheets of large corporates are generally healthy, and second, Korean policymakers have taken a comprehensive and forward-looking approach to the global turmoil to maintain these fundamentals. With inflation well under control, monetary policy has appropriately been loosened, while the 2009 budget incorporates important fiscal stimulus. The government has been proactive in ensuring that liquidity in the banking system remains ample despite the tightening of external financing conditions, and has undertaken numerous initiatives to bolster the financial and corporates sectors and to avoid the sharp deleveraging process seen elsewhere, such as through bilateral currency swap arrangements with the U.S., Japan and China.

South Korea imitated Japan and China and built up a big FOREX holding to deal with US double-dealing in world currency markets.  The US is full to the gills with mendacious creeps who openly, yes, OPENLY talk about cheating everyone else via wild inflation.  These rival nations can read graphs pretty good so they know the US money supply has been doubled in less than four months.  AMAZING, isn’t it?  Hardly news in the US, of course!

And they wonder why US voters are so clueless!  More than half of us want to go to war with North Korea as well as Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan and Sudan, Somalia….who else is on this mad list?  Of course, we can’t afford to patrol our own cities, much less, smash everyone on earth in a fix of pique!  Any nation offering peace and resolution of the global trading collapse will be the nation running this planet in 20 years.  I despair that the US will figure this obvious, obvious thing out!

WE HAVE NO MONEY.  All the money paying for our massive military and our wild threats is fake money since we can’t borrow anymore from China.  And China hasn’t dropped its own ‘nuclear bomb’: if the US gets militaristic in Asia and threatens anything or anyone on China’s borders, China can and will dump all US currency they hold on world markets and kill our currency totally, and for the next 500 years!  We cannot afford this AT ALL.  EVER.  The game is over.

If China wants to disarm NK, they shall, easily.  With the aid of Russia and South Korea.  We must leave it to them to do this.  China asked us to leave them to do this and we won’t cooperate.  Below is a small sampling of old ‘Baby Dragon’ cartoons that show clearly, the dynamics at work and why it is foolish for Miz Liberty to constantly be seen, freaking out over Baby Dragon’s various antics:
