N Korea threatens attacks on USA after being blamed for Sony hacking
Fiscal Times ^ | 12/22/2014 | By Song Jung-a in Seoul

North Korea has warned of strikes against key sites in the US in retaliation for Washington blaming Pyongyang for the recent Sony cyber attack, saying any US punishment over the incident would lead to damage “thousands of times greater”.

Late on Sunday North Korea’s National Defence Commission said President Barack Obama was “recklessly” spreading rumours that Pyongyang was behind the cyber attack. Sony has pulled The Interview , a satirical film depicting the assassination of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, after the hacking and subsequent threats of terrorist attacks against cinemas that screened it.

The NDC said its 1.2m-member army was ready to use all types of warfare against the US. “Our toughest counteraction will be boldly taken against the White House, the Pentagon, and the whole US mainland, the cesspool of terrorism, by far surpassing the ‘symmetric counteraction’ declared by Obama,” said the NDC statement, carried by official news agency KCNA.

Pyongyang has routinely made similar threats against South Korea and the US during times of confrontation, but the latest hostile rhetoric against Washington underlines Pyongyang’s anger over the movie.

The threat comes as US officials are scrambling to come up with ways to retaliate after the FBI announced on Friday that it believed North Korea was behind the cyber attack against Sony, and warned that it would impose “costs and consequences” on those responsible.

Will the documentaries about Hillary be theatrically suppressed in 2015-2016 as they were in 2007-2008?

RE Hillary movie:

I’d say you’re pretty accurate there, friend... count on it.

They’ll do their best between now and then to turn her into Saint Hillary, as pure as the driven snow.

“What’s sad is that I believe North Korea over this Administration.’

Smart move because you are right.

If you read what Obama said to the media you will see that it is in fact a threat.

It is an updated new and improved version of the threat made by the Clintons during Clinton’s impeachment.

That threat is known as “the scorched earth policy” and it involved the release of FBI files to destroy people, manly democrats, that didn’t follow the official Clinton line and support Clinton against impeachment.

Relax everybody. North Korea may be insane but they are not stupid. They know deploying missiles at the federal government would be doing the bidding of tens of millions of fed up disgusted American citizens who realize the need for a “new broom” to sweep the corrupt, tyrannical, fellow traveling and utterly Marxist bureaucrats and phony one party congressional hacks occupying DC out of the land to make way for concrete Constitutional reform of the three branches of the federal government. Alas it’s incredibly difficult to get your enemies to do your bidding. They aren’t gonna do us any favors. They know what the results would be.

Don’t we do the same with Pockystahn because they have ‘The Bomb?

We probably pay them off by giving them an extra fistful of immigration visas.

I'm damaged. My first thought at that photo was, "WOW! No light pollution! Find a nice tall mountain and put an optical observatory on it! No 5 hour drive from home!"

I'm really sorry, but if the Norks screw with our current dictatorship, I'm going to feel a certain sadness, but assuming my prep plans work, I'm willing to wait until all the Democrats eat each other, I'll shotgun the survivors, start the Rebuild, and perhaps we can learn that leftists are waste protein...
