Unprecedented actions occurred over the last two weeks as the tensions between the United States and North Korea remain at an all-time high. The North Koreans (as reported by Reuters and AP news) have been conducting mass evacuation drills for cities and towns. These drills have been augmented with “blackout” drills, where lights are either cut or masked in homes and businesses to make them less readily visible.
U.S. Secretary of defense Mattis has announced that President Trump (who travels with the “football,” the apparatus with the nuclear launch codes) will not be limited by Congress and will act on his (the President’s) executive authority to conduct a first-strike against North Korea. Mattis went on to say that such would occur if North Korea had either launched, or if a launch was imminent against the U.S. Although these statements were not ambiguous, the latter is certainly subjective: after a nuclear war or strike, how would it be verified that a launch by North Korea had been imminent?
A new Cold War has taken shape and materialized over the course of the past several years. The Mainstream Media (MSM) is quick to “paint” one side as the “hero/good guy” and the other as the “villain.” In this case the villain in journalistic obfuscation (the piece is “journalistic” and not objective journalism) is the The Sun. Here are two excerpts. You make the call, with the underlined words being the “sticking point”:
“President Donald Trump sent a nuclear-capable B-2 stealth bomber from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri on a long-range mission to the Pacific this weekend.”
Here’s number two:
“And the Russian Defence Ministry today announced that US and Japanese jets escorted Russia’s missile-carrying Tupolev-95MS strategic bombers during flights over the Sea of Japan and the Pacific.
The UK-paper reports the U.S. bomber as being “nuclear capable,” whereas the Russian bombers are listed as being “missile-carrying.”
These statements do not mean that the U.S. B-2 is not carrying nukes, nor does it mean that the Russian bombers are. Instead, it is an implication, as “nuclear-capable” does not indemnify that they have them onboard. Subtly speaking regarding the Russian bombers, “missile-carrying” can also mean that the bombers have that capability and such a capacity, but it is veiled to make it seem as if they are actively carrying them. Once again, the MSM crafts the narrative. The MSM plays both sides of the fence. They report on actions and make certain that everyone knows the President is the “aggressor/bully,” but at the same time heighten what is happening and make sure that North Korea is painted as the “Rogue State.”
What happens when the “Rogue State” will not become one of the “good guys”: A Western Consumer-marketing, Petrodollar-based vassal abandoning its missiles on the path to global governance?
There has been a cyberattack-hacking (according to the South Korean government) by North Korea against Daewoo Shipyards where more than 40,000 documents were stolen, to include the plans for all South Korea’s naval forces, to include ships and submarines. The Russians are running bombing routes over the Sea of Japan, and the U.S. is resurrecting its B-52 fleet to be on 24-hour standby. Make no mistake: tensions are heating up.
The flames of tension are being fueled by newsprint: the MSM “Neo-Speak,” adding fuel to the fire instead of providing objective reporting. The MSM doesn’t cover what the populace needs to know…only what the liberal Marxists “deem” the populace is to know. This means fanning the flames as well as fueling them, to simultaneously denigrate the President and the U.S. and foster a sense of shame and guilt among the population while maintaining a patriotic “prole-like” fervor among the “U.S.A. Good-Guys” of the average illiterates. The MSM hates them, but realizes the proletariat is responsible for 75% of the economy with their pre-programmed holidays and lemming-like shopping migrations.
The barbarians are at the gates, but they’re on both sides: one side with a battering ram and the other with a “For Sale” document in hand with the keys. What will stop all of this will probably be Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year, and the unrelenting quest to save the 4th Quarter Earnings and fill those cash registers up with fiat stuffing. Can’t have people preparing for war and spending for the holidays, now, can we?

Good one JJ, that comment about lemmings made me blow Coffee out my nose!
Is there a recipe for Chicken Little? NORTH KOREA, NORTH KOREA, NORTH KOREA! That’s all we ever hear anymore.
NK is practicing mass evacuation drills because the little Tonka truck is about to get his ass handed to him. But hey, keep your eyes open for that emp, should be here any day now.
I notice that you won’t post my comments anymore Gerri. Did I hurt your feelings?
Don’t despair TDBh, we’re getting there soon enough. You know? I just hope this Asian family vacation and gum-flapping going on now ends with the POTUS getting home sans any fingers a-pushing any buttons. And…. the ever-expanding waist line UN not getting frisky and launching another ‘test’ over/into the Pacific. Way I see it is the chance of a miscalculation grows daily. Those 3 carriers I further hope are not closely grouped.
Following a script.
Tupolev Tu-95, Nato codename “Bear” That Bomber that usually flies up and down the East Coast or shows up off of Britain and challenges their air defense response.
Built in 1956, not too long after The B-52.
The aircraft has four Kuznetsov NK-12 engines with contra-rotating propellers. It is the only propeller-powered strategic bomber still in operational use today. The Tu-95 is one of the loudest military aircraft, particularly because the tips of the propeller blades move faster than the speed of sound.[2] Its distinctive swept-back wings are at a 35° angle. The Tu-95 is one of very few mass-produced propeller-driven aircraft with swept wings- Wikipedia,
Yes can carry air launched cruise missiles, so can the B-52
and can carry a conventional and a nuclear payload, as can the B-52 and is expected to be in service up to 2040, as is The B-52, I believe.
The B-2 was especially built to penetrate then, Soviet air defenses using Sleath Tech because it doesn’t carry air defense weapons and can carry similar payloads as the Tupolev Tu-95.
But who said this plane wasn’t armed with a nuclear payload?
Both are nuclear capable.
Yes, North Korea, a rogue nation that is not following the rules.
So, we have the beginnings of civil unrest here in the states and seen already in Spain.
Have the North Korea issue that is getting hot.
Earthquake activity increasing, another 7.0 today. Concerns in the Pacific region.
Uptick in Worldwide Volcanic activity as reported on this very site.
Yep, I would say that we are approaching a SHTF events(s).
Approaching a SHTF event ??? Those Americans who lived through hurricane season this year would say that SHTF happened in September. Those Americans who lived through the Las Vegas Deep State Massacre would say that SHTF happened already.
Those Americans who lived through the Directed Energy Napa Fires which burned trees from the inside out and burnt holes through engine blocks, yet grass and trees surrounding structures burnt to the ground were barely singed; would say that SHTF has happened already.
SHTF arrived in America right on time in September as my sources said it would, months before. Yeah, its in the archives. Only God knows what’s next. 🙂
That is an accurate statement in how a person looks at an event.
And if one tactical nuke is busted, The SHTF.

First, let us pray that President Trump be graced/gifted with wisdom in all his decision-making, in particular with regard to North Korea.
Second, I recommend everyone read Hodges’ article from a few days ago about Trump’s ultimate strategy/purposes abroad through his trip.
Third, putting an “end” to (annihilating) North Korea or its dictator leader does NOT put an end to all evil/destructiveness. One must be as wise as Sun Tzu and at the same time prayerful and spiritual. That’s a tough combination. Difficult, but not impossible. For we can not do “nothing” in the face of evil (destructiveness).
Remember: Satan’s ultimate goal is the destruction of ALL humans (you, me, Kim, etc.) AND our/God’s world.
In George Lucas’ creative re-presentation of religious myth/story, Darth Vader signified the fallen angel Lucifer who rebelled against God and His Angels. He did the bidding of the Evil Emperor, just as humans do the bidding of Satan, for as Dr. Peck wrote in his frightening book, “Glimpses of the Devil”, Satan is powerless to accomplish anything without the cooperation of a human body/person. Fittingly, the Light Saber is actually the Light of Truth, and wielded properly, Truth is quite a weapon in destroying lies, exposing deceptions, and unmasking who the original perpetrators of evil (destructiveness) are behind those who carry out mayhem/destruction/death.
So, given the complexities of culture, human behavior, and politics, there is an ABSOLUTE need for the marriage of Practical wisdom with Spiritual wisdom!
For example, destroying/killing Kim does not extinguish/vanish evil, yet, to paraphrase Dr. Peck in his book, “People of the Lie”, sometimes it becomes painful but necessary to kill in order to stop further killing, and wisely, he stresses the need for deep study Before such an undertaking. Wisdom is not wisdom unless it is informed, reflected upon, etc.
For example, being a prepper takes wisdom! Given one’s income, expenses, and personal/family priorities, one must decide which items to purchase, where to store such items, have plans to make quick decisions in the event of natural or man-made disasters, etc. etc. Wisdom is hard work.
Wish no human being dead, lest you unwittingly participate somehow in Satan’s master plan. Hence the need to pray for wisdom. Pray for wisdom for President Trump.
God enlightens anyone who prayerfully asks. God is Beauty. God is Truth. Be silent. Speak. Listen. Trust.
Lastly, even though it’s the furthest thing from my mind until this very second (and perhaps yours) because of the ‘trouble’ they cause, what would happen if we prayed for the least sane, least mentally healthy among us? If you want to know the answer, read Dr. Larry Dossey’s books on his experiments with happened to the groups of ill cancer patients that were prayed for versus the other groups that were not prayed for.
I don’t know about you, but I sometimes find trying to be spiritual hard. I don’t like praying for anyone who has hurt me, nor for anyone who COULD hurt me. It’s time for me to go back to the thing I hate doing.
God bless you all.

North Korea has six to ten TRILLION dollars of undeveloped natural resources that the US, South Korea and Japan would benefit from if the Koreas were “re-unified.”
In other words, it’s ALL about the MONEY.
Sounds like we’re going to be out a lot of money because the war will cost about this much to fight.
I’m still wondering what NK actually does to have a “blackout” drill. It’s already dark there at night.
The UFO’s will never allow for the total destruction of the Earth. They’ve shut down silos before and were even there for the Discover event. And by the way, there was never a Jesus, God or Satan. If there is a God he is either impotent or doesn’t care, proven fact there.
Will some one please tell me what has North Korea done to the US of A to deserve all this BULL DREN????? ANSWER: NOTHING, Tramp and his handlers want a war
Where have you been for the last 65 years? Trump didn’t start this, and it didn’t start with Trump. This goes back to the first Korean war the US was involved in at the behest of the UN. They have been threatening us ever since.
