New tremors felt as EARTHQUAKE hits North Korea test site - Nuclear program AT RISK

A SERIES of new tremors and landslides have hit North Korea after an earthquake was recorded last night which could cause the collapse of the hermit kingdom’s nuclear bomb test site.

Experts suggest the quake, which measured 2.9 on the Richter scale, could mean the region has be destabilised by the country’s September 3 hydrogen bomb test, which caused a 6.3 magnitude earthquake

And they warned the Punggye-ri nuclear site may not be used for much longer to test nuclear weapons.

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) shows the quake was detected just 23 kilometres from Sungjibaegam, a town close to the Punggye-ri nuclear test site and added that it cannot confirm whether the earthquake was natural or man-made.

A statement on the US Geological Survey website reads: "This event occurred in the area of the previous North Korean Nuclear tests.

"The event has earthquake-like characteristics, however, we cannot conclusively confirm at this time the nature (natural or human-made) of the event.

The small quake was detected early on Friday near the North's nuclear test site, South Korea's weather agency said, but unlike quakes associated with nuclear tests, it did not appear to be manmade.

And the region has since been hit by a series of landslide and tremors in the wake of the incident.

Maybe just what the X-37 has been doing up there for the past yr or so??
Heck, the x-37 could be the “ROD”. Small enough to get into orbit easily, and sophistocated enough to land on its own—why not kamikaze it into Rocketman’s living room???

Why would a suicide attack be necessary? Just drop another rod on him.

My question stands, why crash it into a target rather than just launching ordnance from it?

I wonder if someone got in and blew something up.
Then again, it could be a major failure of some kind.

Interesting tweets.

There is always a possibility that some from our side are dispatched to the place to carry out a mission. However, the training environment is better in E. Asia because the terrain is similar.

On the other hand, if they do it in Mid-East, it gives an advantage they can do training for multi-national joint operation without attracting others’ attention.

In my opinion, earthquakes are an act of God, even if a MADMAN has been detonating nukes.

This is the 100th Anniversary of the Miracle of the Sun in Lisbon Portugal.

In World War II, along these lines, 112 B17 BOMBERS tried to bomb San Giovanni Rotundo.

There was a problem releasing the bombs.

No bombs were dropped from 112 B17 bombers.

The US Army Air Corps General leading the mission:

1. First saw a monk in the clouds waving the B17's off.
2. Then he saw a woman holding a child
3. Finally he saw a boy holding a sword (might have been a flaming sword)

The Airmen on the mission later recognized the monk as Padre Pio (very famous monk who is now a saint and was found that his body had not decayed 30 years after his death).

The woman (mother) holding a child was identified as a statue in that monastery where Padre Pio lived.

Finally, the boy with the sword was identified as a famous statue of Saint Michael the Angel (who is in the Bible in the book of Revelation). That statue is in a place where there is legend/tradition that Saint Michael left his footprint there.

This year has seen 4 hurricanes hit the US: Harvey, Irma, Maria, and Nate. There is now a FIFTH Hurricane that may shortly strike Ireland and then continue on to Scotland.

Another hurricane, Jose, make a couple of loops and then went harmlessly away...

You might believe in God, but I do. I do not need to be struck by lightning...
