N. Korea Says It's Unilateral Removing I.A.E.A. Nuke Plant Surveillance Cameras at Once (Breaking)
Sankei Shimbun, Tokyo (In Japanese) from RadioPress Reports ^ | 15 December 2002 | Sankei Shimbun News (Japanese)

Breaking hard.

Kyodo news (from Radio Press) reported just now that the Korean Central News Agency (communist Pyongyang) stated that if the I.A.E.A. does not remove the seals and cameras on their nuke plants, they are going to begin immediately dismantling them and removing them.

Koffi Anan of the UN, and the I.A.E.A. chief told them just hours ago not to try and pull this stunt.

Time for the Security Council Meeting.

Albright, like most liberals, wants everyone to "feel good." She forgets that there is a "right" and a "wrong" even between nations.

The real problem is that Korea is still a pawn of China. China has much longer range goals than we do and is not content to do less than dominate the planet. The "Celestial Kingdom" may have passed but the idea that they are the center of the universe has not.

I am concerned that we declared "peace" too quickly in the "cold war." Politics, like nature, abhors a vacuum. The collapse of the Soviet Union created a power vacuum in Asia. Japan will not commit the military to exercise any real power and the other nations there do not have the military or the resources to do so. China quickly took advantage of the lack of competition and has been pressing us ever since.

Great link! It does make you wonder what else they are up to -- shutting down a HAM radio operator. Just paranoia or for a purpose? Because they had recently given permission yo use the radio, I don't think it's just paranoia.

Why would they not want us to see what was happening? Why disable the camera/monitors? True, it could be a distraction from Iraq, but it could be for a purpose of its own. Perhaps Chinese scientists coming for an instructional visit?

China has no problem exporting nuclear technology. I seem to recall they were linked to the centrifuge Pakistan used to finally enter the nuclear community.

Let me try that again.

North Korea recently rescinded permission for Amateur Radio operation from within its borders.

North Korea Asks P5/4L4FN to QRT

NEWINGTON, CT, Dec 2, 2002--The only Amateur Radio station active from North Korea has been ordered off the air. Ed Giorgadze, 4L4FN, had been operating for the past year as P5/4L4FN from Pyongyang. The ARRL subsequently accredited SSB and RTTY operation of P5/4L4FN for DXCC.

"This really hits the ham community hard," QSL manager Bruce Paige, KK5DO, said in a news release. "I, for one, was looking forward to a satellite contact on AO-40. I know that many of you were still awaiting your first QSO."

Paige said that on Friday, November 22, Giorgadze was called into a meeting with the "Radio Regulation Board" without any explanation, and he was politely asked to quit all transmissions and pack all his radio equipment. "Saturday, he spent all day on the roof disassembling his antennas and packing boxes."

Calling the situation "unfortunate" and "the worst possible thing," Paige said North Korean government officials later came by and sealed all of the boxes. When Giorgadze leaves North Korea on December 10 for two weeks of vacation, "he is to take everything with him out of the country," Paige indicated.

Not surprisingly, I forgot a couple.

DX: (Long) distance. Applies to contacts with foreign countries, especially overseas.

DXCC: DX Century Club. An ARRL program awarding a certificate to hams with verified contacts with 100 or more countries or other defined geo-political entities. The DXCC Honor Roll lists the hams with contacts with the most countries. Although there are currently 334 entities on the official accepted list, the top hams have about 377 entities to their credit, some of which have been deleted from the accepted list over the past several decades due to political circumstances (e.g., Tibet).

I see China's hand in this! I also see a wait and watch approach from the administration in the fact of criticism by the anti war crowd

I think ypu'll find China's hand behind most of our problems if anyone wants to be honest. The nukes didn't proliferate until Clinton passed the PRC our nuke technology.

We've found Chinese arms in Afghanistan. Pakistan has nukes and has passed them on to the islamic countries. N. Korea doesn't do anything without China's permission.

The secretariat's statement said the film is a "dirty and cursed burlesque aimed to slander [North Korea] and insult the Korean nation".

Our aid started with Clinton's deal. Chinese aid has gone on for decades longer than that.

Can't do it. Unless we want a few million North Koreans headed South to take Seoul. Betwixt a rock and a hard place on this one.

The world does indeed love dictators. As long as they are anti US and anti Western values.

In South Korea, anti-American sentiment has swelled after the acquittals of two US soldiers whose armoured vehicle killed two Korean girls in June.

They never liked us very much over there. Add them to the Somalis, Kuwaitis and Bosnians on the roster of Turd World ingrates who hate us for shedding the blood of our young men to defend their liberty.

The Koreans are a crazy bunch. I've heard them described as the Irish of Asia, they love to fight amongst themselves but tolerate no interference from outside.

I say let the fat little dictator up north have the whole place, then we'll see whether the anti-American whacko students and their Molotov cocktails survive for even a month.
