...

A statement from the South Korean military also said that an artificial tremor, registered as magnitude 5.0, had originated from Punggye-ri in northeastern North Korea, where the North has conducted its four previous underground nuclear tests.

Caltech will have tracked that as well. They have a singular signature.

The Nork psycho ramping up planet killing bombs. He needs money. Now he has a product he can sell to wealthy cash rich mullahs. I expect to see a nuke obliterate an American city sooner rather than later.

Kim saw all that money Obama is giving Iran and decided he wanted some, too.

I can put enough C4, or whatever it is that the NKs use, under ground to make “like” a nuke tremor,

Could it be that they dropped the latest general to diss the Dear Leader down a hole and then plopped some dynamite on top?

With the Communist Chinese on the rise and the crazy North Koreans right next door, if South Korea and Japan don’t already have nuclear weapons in their arsenals, then they don’t deserve to live. And we most certainly don’t have any obligation to send our servicemen to die on their behalf.

“Now he has a product he can sell to wealthy cash rich mullahs”

Bingo. It’s amazing how times change. Rumors about Yellowcake were enough to justify the invasion of Iraq. Now, North Korea detonates nukes underground and the story is greeted with a collective yawn.

See my #35 on an earlier thread for a link to the seismogram recorded at Inchon, SK. The latest GookShot is quite obvious...

Is it time to hang her for treason yet?

Oh, by the way, whose husband did she serve under again? (shudders at the images that brings to mind; remember that he was the one who called that recently unearthed Mummy "kind of cute" and so I don't think even Maddy would fall below his standards).
