The threat of nuclear war is greater today than ever before, says the head of the U.N. nuclear agency, Mohamed El Baradei, in an interview in today's edition of the German magazine Der Spiegel.

"An atomic war will come upon us if we do not agree on a new system of international controls," he said.

El Baradei said new controls are needed to prevent the black-market trade in nuclear materials and knowledge by "smart nuclear experts, unscrupulous companies and possibly state organs."

"Never was the danger as great as today," he told the weekly newsmagazine. "An atomic war draws nearer if we do not start thinking about a new international control system."

He said he was "extremely concerned" about the nuclear weapons program in North Korea.

"I would be in no way surprised if Pyongyang already has an operational atomic bomb," he said.

Nuclear war danger highest ever? U.N.'s nuclear chief cites North Korea, Iran, underground trade

Do we see a trend here?

Isn't that like closing the barn door too late?

"Virginia Plans to Keep Convicted Snipers"
Updated: Friday, Jan. 23, 2004 - 10:38 PM


By MATTHEW BARAKAT
Associated Press Writer

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "McLEAN, Va. (AP) - Gov. Mark R. Warner plans to keep convicted snipers John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo in the state so prosecutors can put them on trial again and seek the death penalty, despite several states' requests for the men's extradition.


Malvo and Muhammad were convicted last year for their roles in the October 2002 sniper spree that terrorized the Washington region and left 10 people dead. A Virginia Beach jury recommended a death sentence for Muhammad; Malvo, 18, was given a life term by a jury in Chesapeake.


Several other states, including Alabama, Louisiana and Maryland, have sought extradition of the pair for murders they allegedly committed. Maryland law does not allow Malvo to be punished by death because he was only 17 years old at the time of the sniper killings."

OF COURSE we see a trend.

I'm convinced this, and growing if not acted-out war threat will result in the massive push of the world populace into a world government of satanic tyranny.

The handwriting on the wall is getting more and more crystal clear.

Only blind idiots will ignore such handwriting on the wall, IMHO.
