getting details, breaking hard
And, from my reading of some of the better sites on the web about our precarious financial situation, that commentator is dead on right.
Any of my fellow freepers keep up with MarketTicker?
Now the reporter from Washington DC is on live. He is stating the quisling State Department statement....the "ooooooh, like I'm scared" declaration".
I am in shock..this launch will signal all terrorist countries around the world. It will embolden terrorists. The fact that the missile went over Japan is unbelievably scary. And there is no word from The Messiah? Dear God, help us.
“One commentator saying “AMERICA DOES NOT HAVE THE MONEY ANYOMORE TO GET INTO THIS”
How sad. They are right. Obama and the marxists are trying their best to bankrupt our country in order to solidify their own power. Obama giving our nukes away...as all of our enemies are building theirs without hinderance.
They are probably both sound asleep with a “Do Not Disturb” sign on the door...after a long night of dinner and vino and poor Barry’s cold.
An unexpected malfunction that was predicted weeks ago. ;O)

Better find that worn copy of Alas Babylon.
“Americans are not being told the truth, nor are they being informed and given detailed information. It is almost like we live in the old Soviet Union with controlled radio/TV. OR, on the other hand, does the average Joe in the US care, or are they watching “Dancing with the Stars” and dont want to be interrupted, so media just caters to what they want? It is kind of a chicken and egg argument I guess.”
Back in the late 70’s They taught us in school about the Iron curtain and Russian propaganda. I Tuned into radio Pravda on Shortwave a few times and listened to there news. The propaganda was so blatantly obvious and overwhelming. For the last several years I have watched as the news here became even more of a propaganda show than the Radio Pravda that I listened to so many years ago as a child. Sad, but true.
That is their only solution. I can sense this coming by the tone of the TV and the people.
As they just more or less said on live Japanese TV here a few minutes ago, a) Obama is unreliable; and b) America is financially broke.

“North Korea Lauches Rocket; Iran and Others May Be Real Beneficiaries - Video 4/4/09”
SNPPET: “The report below by CNN’s Jim Clancy makes it clear why this really matters. It is not just the threat of North Korea using such a rocket to deliver a nuclear payload, but the fact that they sell arms to Iran, Pakistan and whoever will pay them the cash:”
What’s next? Iran launching a missile over Israel? Israel wouldn’t let it get to the launch pad.
“Big question: will the exhausted BO even bother to get out of bed this early?
His first 3:00 am phone call.”

You and me both. I feel like my parents must have felt with the Cuban Missile Crisis and us living in the southeast.
wait for key points of translation
朝鮮飛翔(ひしょう)体発射 河村官房長官が会見「領土内の落下物確認されていない」 北朝鮮による飛翔体の発射について、午前0時から河村官房長官の会見が行われた。 本日(5日)11時30分ごろ、北朝鮮から何らかの飛翔(ひしょう)体が発射されたものと考えられます。 飛翔体は11時37分ごろ、わが国の東北地方から太平洋へと通過し、わが国領域上を飛び越えたと推定しています。 これらの情報につきましては、入手後、直ちに地方公共団体および、報道機関等に対して、Em-Net(エムネット)等を通じて伝達しました。 また、飛翔体の1段目のロケットは、秋田県西方約280kmの日本海上。 2段目のロケットは日本の東約1270kmの太平洋上に落下したものと推測されます。 なお、現在までのところ、わが国領土内の落下物は確認されていません。 発射の直後に関連の情報を総理に伝えたところ、総理からは、日本の領域の安全確認と、航空機および船舶の安全確認、情報収集態勢の強化。 さらに、国民への迅速な情報提供の3点について、指示を受けました。 総理指示を踏まえ、わが国領域、周辺地域への落下物の有無も含め、安全確認の作業を継続するとともに、米国をはじめとする関係国とも連携し、鋭意、情報収集中であります。 政府としては、例え人工衛星であっても、発射が行われた場合、北朝鮮の弾道ミサイル計画に関連するすべての活動の停止を求めております国連安保理決議第1695号、および第1718号に違反するのでありますから、北朝鮮に対し、打ち上げの中止を強く求めてまいりました。 にもかかわらず、今回、北朝鮮が発射を強行したことは極めて遺憾であり、北朝鮮に対し、厳重に抗議いたします。 北朝鮮から国際機関に対し、飛翔体発射に関する事前通報が行われて以降、政府は情報収集を強化するなどの対応を行ってきたところであります。 しかし、今回の対応に万全を期すために、飛翔体の発射後、直ちに関係省庁の局長等を参集させるとともに、官邸連絡室を北朝鮮による飛翔体発射事案に関する官邸対策室に格上げをしました。 また、こののち、外務大臣および防衛大臣におこしいただきまして、総理と私を含めた4人の閣僚による情報集約会議を開催し、情勢の分析等を実施する予定です。 今後、追加していく情報を入手した場合には、直ちに発表したいと思います。 また、政府の対応については、あらためて発表いたします。
It was always a clear and present danger to those of us with functioning brains. Now we have a nuclear armed totalitarian mad man with ballistic missile capabilities.
Didn’t we sign some treaty or something giving Japan protection? Wasn’t that an agreement from WW2?
Easy for you to say! ;)
One name I didn't see was RJayneJ. She was the gal who ran the "Essay or Thread of the Week" and several other features.
I'm sure she's passed, I wonder why her name is missing. Maybe tomorrow I'll ask around.
