N. Koreans Ordered To Raise Their Flag At 2PM, and Listen to Broadcast
N. Korean leadership ordered its citizen to raise their flag and listen to their (government) communique from TV in the evening, according to Sankei Shimbun (of Japan), quoting Japanese government sources.
The paper said it is paying attention this development because it could be related to the launch of Taepodong-2.

If the missile gets "intercepted" before it leaves North Korea, and while the populace is tuned to the broadcast, well now wouldn't that be grand!

Kimono? I'm sure they ate all of their flags long ago. Heck in the worst parts of that country they've sadly moved on to dining on their neighbors as KJI has left them nothing else.

Re #23
That is probably the reason there is a time-gap between raising of the flag and state broadcast.

Keeping an eye on the thread bumpers.
Thanks for the heads up!

Sounds like their next missile test is imminent.

I doubt anyone is planning to intercept this missile, nor is it a joke that N Korea could lob an atom bomb at the United States, nor is it out of the question they will do so, this time or another time. Instead of the world "telling" N Korea not to do this, we and our allies should consider wiping out the N Korean capability, which I guess requires a nuclear strike.
Instead, we will likely wait until we learn another painful lesson of history, because "no one expected" them to be crazy enough to attack us.

Another strong indication that the launch is imminent. Flag-raising is not among the NK's menu of usual bombastic statements. It also confirms that Kim Jong-il use this event to regain his grip on people, by racheting up the tension.I suggest he ditch the semaphores in favor of a color code system for the same purpose.

Possible NK missile "test"
To: TigerLikesRooster
Just read your comments and I see I basically posted the same sentence about the test being imminent! Should have waited until I finished reading your post.

You don't want to be pissing off the Japanese. This could really push them.
