Tokyo Rose | Hail Kim Jong-un

Planet Tokyo source [It's sending me nuts not being able to centre this. Not sure why.] Need to stop the no-sleep stuff I keep doing. I've woken up feeling like death. Even my face hurts (like a sinus feeling). My eyes feel like they're swollen shut. My back hurts. Everything does. I feel like I'm dying. LOL Woke up to too much light.  I'm not into the light.  I have preference for gloom, wet and darkness these days.  I'd be happy if it was permanently a stormy night. Having a luke warm coffee from the pot that Mr Chinese Water Torture made some time today and left wrapped up on the bench.  Too wrecked to walk to the microwave to warm my cup of coffee or bother making another one. Might check out some news. Same-sex plebiscite 'debate' propaganda that is a homosexuality promo and social engineering, disguised as 'debate'.  Debate about f*cking what?  There's is nothing *to* 'debate'.  Since when is thousands of years of European heritage up for 'debate'? How about an apartheid plebiscite? I seriously think separating disparate groups in capitalist engineered consumer cattle-stations is the ideal solution for normies that want to be left alone in capitalist holding pens with their own kind and their own social and institutional systems etc.  Problems solved. I don't give a f*ck what the indoctrinated, censored and propaganda-fed ignorant masses vote for.   As a normie, I want to live in a traditional normie European society, and fully and irrevocably reject the malevolent, exploitative, political and social system of this hypocritical, lying, indoctrinating, propaganda deploying, nation-destroying US-Anglo Capitalist controlled European and normie divesting 'open societies' (undeclared war on European society) cattle station. And that's not all:  I want thousands of years of traditional European heterosexual, social and institutional, heritage to be preserved and maintained, rather than dismembered and dissolved by US-Anglo Capitalist genocidal social engineers who are destroying European all societies. I can't look at this sh*t any longer, without wishing I was North Korean. Save us, Kim Jong-un.

There has been no immediate report on whether the launch was successful. A submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) was fired Saturday from the Sea of Japan (also known as East Sea) water zone in the open sea direction at about 6:30 p.m. local time (0930 GMT), Seoul’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said. The missile flew “for a few minutes,” Yonhap agency said, citing a military source. Seoul believes the missile launch was made to make a point in the wake of a key 7th meeting of North Korea Workers' Party in May. A congress of the ruling party has been summoned for the first time in 36 years. The first underwater launch of North Korean SLBM missile KN-11 was made on November 27, 2015, and allegedly resulted in failure. The next try on December 21 was reported to be a success, with Pyongyang demonstrating its leader Kim Jong-un observing the launch. The initial information about Pyongyang using an upgraded Soviet-era ballistic missile submarine to establish the naval component of the national nuclear triad emerged in 2014. It is believed that in the early 1990s North Korea bought from Russia 10 Golf-class diesel-electric missile-capable submarines, also known as “Project 629, designed in 1950s.” It is believed that Pyongyang has made at least one of the seaworthy and now is using it for tasting a sea-based ballistic missile of its own. The South Korean military suspects Pyongyang of preparing its fifth nuclear test in the very near future, after satellite images exposed that North Korea had resumed tunnel excavation at its main nuclear test site. A similar activity was observed there prior to the latest alleged thermonuclear test in January. https://www.rt.com/news/340715-north-korea-submarine-missile/ Last freedom fighter on the planet: North Korea!

Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) - October 2014

India, Israel, N.Korea say no to NPT at UN October 31, 2014, 8:46 am India has voted against the provisions of draft resolutions that would have required it to accede to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), saying there is “no question” of it joining the treaty as a non-nuclear weapon state. The First Committee of the 193-member UN General Assembly that deals with disarmament and international security issues approved a draft resolution yesterday urging all member states that had not yet done so to sign and ratify the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty. Prior to approval of that draft as a whole, votes were polled on provisions, by which the Assembly would call on all those countries that have not joined the NPT to accede to it as non-nuclear weapon states. India, along with North Korea and Israel, voted against the resolution. 164 nations voted in favour of the resolution. “India’s position on the NPT is well-known. There is no question of India joining the NPT as a non-nuclear weapon state. Nuclear weapons are an integral part of India’s national security and will remain so, pending non-discriminatory and global nuclear disarmament,” said an official Indian statement explaining the vote. By another provision in the resolution, the Assembly would stress the fundamental role of NPT in achieving nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation and urge India, Israel and Pakistan to promptly accede to the Treaty as non-nuclear- weapon states and place all their nuclear facilities under IAEA safeguards. The provision was also approved by a recorded vote of 163 in favour with India, Israel, the US and Pakistan voting against. In its explanation of vote, India said it remains committed to the goal of complete elimination of nuclear arms. “We are concerned about the threat to humanity posed by the continued existence of nuclear weapons and their possible use or threat of use. India also shares the view that nuclear disarmament and nuclear non-proliferation are mutually reinforcing. We continue to support a time-bound programme for global, verifiable and non-discriminatory nuclear disarmament,” it said. Earlier last month, Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott inked a civilian nuclear deal with his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi in New Delhi. India and Australia had begun talks on the nuclear cooperation agreement in 2012. [Labor Party = 2012] The Australian decision, although geared to fight the energy poverty in India, has been criticised for circumventing the NPT and severely weakening it. The US administration had imposed sanctions on Delhi after its 1998 nuclear bomb tests. The tests confirmed India as a nuclear power and led neighbouring Pakistan to follow its lead. Later in 2005, however, the US had overturned its decision and agreed to aid India’s civil nuclear programme. Meanwhile, Iran, which is a signatory to the NPT ratifying the global accord, had accused Western countries of double standards while dealing with India’s nuclear ambitions. Last month, a UN monitoring agency said Iran is yet to fully address all nuclear concerns, in a further setback to international agreement over its nuclear program. http://thebricspost.com/india-israel-n-korea-say-no-to-npt-at-un/ COMMENT The existence of nuclear power and nuclear weapons is disturbing.  Sooner or later, something's bound to go wrong. Over 2,000 nuclear explosions detonated worldwide between 1945 and 1996 http://www.un.org/en/events/againstnucleartestsday/history.shtml#a24 1955 = just over 3,000 nuclear weapons 1965 = United States 31,000 nuclear weapons / Soviet Union 6,000 nuclear weapons ORDER USA - 1945 (July) - Trinity test, New Mexico USA - Hiroshima & Negasaki - 1945 (August) Soviet Russia - 1949 (August) UK - 1952 (Oct) - Tests Australia / USA USA - 1952 (Nov) - Hydrogen bomb USA - 1954 (March ) - Castle Bravo (largest ever nuke detonated by US + disaster) France - 1960 (tests Algeria + South Pacific) China - 1964 (test Lop Nur in Xinjiang Province) Partial Test Ban Treaty 1963, banned testing: atmosphere, underwater & space (testing goes underground) Israel - 1966 (R & D phase complete) India - 1974 (test) South Africa 1982 South Africa 1991 - dismantles nuclear program France - 1990s - closed & dismantled all nuclear test sites Pakistan - 1998 - 2 tests Korea - 2006 The UN article is a really good one. Look who has went from testing a nuclear weapon to using one, in the blink of an eye. Look who's been driving the nuclear weapons race.

NORTH KOREAN ROCKETS - SAREX - JAPAN DROPS OVERSEAS COMBAT BAN

Japan, South Korea, U.S. begin search and rescue exercise Kyodo Jul 22, 2014 SEOUL – South Korea, the United States and Japan held two days of search and rescue drills south of the southern island of Jeju on Monday, South Korea’s Defense Ministry said. The exercise, known as SAREX, has been held once or twice a year.  Source - Japan Times - here.

Japan Times article also said that North Korea has been firing rockets and missiles into the sea, raising tensions in the area.

Finally, the article mentions abduction of Japanese citizens.

Current news story on the subject elsewhere:

Pyongyang abductee probe stirs speculation of early Japan poll Tue Jul 15, 2014 By Linda Sieg TOKYO (Reuters) - As Japan presses North Korea for information on the fate of Japanese citizens abducted decades ago, speculation is simmering that Prime Minister Shinzo Abe could use a possible breakthrough on the emotive issue to call a snap election. History shows that securing the release of Japanese nationals kidnapped by North Korea decades ago can deliver a hefty, if shortlived, boost to a premier's popularity. North Korea agreed in May to reopen an investigation into the fate of missing Japanese, including those snatched by its agents to train spies in the 1970s and 1980s, in return for Japan easing some economic sanctions on the reclusive state. [...] Support for his cabinet has slipped below 50 percent in several surveys since his July 1 decision to drop a ban that has kept the military from fighting abroad since Japan's defeat in World War Two.

COMMENT

Island of Jeju is island southwards of South Korea.

As a newbie, hard to say what the drills are for.

US, South Korea and Japan are probably working on the cooperation and skills building side of things; and maybe it's also a morale building exercise.

Imagine North Korea might be aware of the presence of the trio, so it could also be about making their presence known in the region.

Or it could just be drills.  LOL.

Funny how emotive issues help raise the stocks of politicians the world over.

What's disturbing is that Japan has DROPPED A BAN that has kept military from FIGHTING ABROAD.

That's big.

Wonder if there's anticipated conflict either in that region or in the South China Sea region.

Again, I've only just started watching this stuff, so I could be right off base speculating in that direction.

CHINA: Xi says confrontation between US and China would be disastrous for both countries

Xi says US-China confrontation would be 'disaster’

Dated: 2014-07-10
Beijing: Confrontation with the US would be a "disaster", Chinese President Xi Jinping Wednesday said as he called for mutual respect between the two nations. Mr Xi's comments came at an annual China-US dialogue held in Beijing.

Diplomats are expected to discuss China's currency, North Korea and tensions in the South China Sea. The US delegation is led by Secretary of State John Kerry, who in his opening remarks said that the US was not seeking to "contain" China. 

Mr Xi said the two countries' interests were now "more than ever interconnected", with much to gain from co-operation.

"China-US confrontation, to the two countries and the world, would definitely be a disaster," he said. "We should mutually respect and treat each other equally, and respect the other's sovereignty and territorial integrity and respect each other's choice on the path of development." 

Kerry, meanwhile, said the US did "not seek to contain China" and urged Beijing not to "interpret it as an overall strategy" when the US differed from China on certain issues.

US President Barack Obama also said in a statement that the US "welcomes the emergence of a stable, peaceful, and prosperous China".

"We remain determined to ensure that co-operation defines the overall relationship," he said. But US leaders have also called on China to do its part in maintaining stability in Asia.

Mr Kerry said the US welcomed a China that "contributes to the stability and development of the region and chooses to play a responsible role in world affairs".

The talks come with China locked in bitter disputes with several neighbours in the region, notably Vietnam and the Philippines, over claims in the South China Sea.

In turn, the US has stepped up joint military exercises with the Philippines and its military presence there, a move over which China has raised concerns. One of the latest exercises was conducted in the South China Sea near disputed waters two weeks ago.

Increased anti-Japan rhetoric has also come from China in recent weeks, following a decision by the Japanese cabinet to reinterpret the constitution, giving the Japanese military greater latitude to fight overseas.

Both countries claim a string of islands in the East China Sea and ties are severely strained over this issue.

The US and China have also had disagreements in recent months, particularly over cyber-attacks. In May, US authorities charged five Chinese military officers with hacking into American businesses.
Beijing has vigorously denied the charges, accusing the US of launching cyber-attacks against China.

COMMENT

In this blog poster's opinion, general coverage from various sources, of the US-China talks, comes across as friendlier than it would seem at first glance.

When the poster first read China's remark (yesterday in some other report) that confrontation between US and China would be disastrous for both countries, the poster took that to mean that China is squaring up to the US and that behind all the diplomacy there's a steeliness.

Bear in mind US is conducting military exercises in the disputed waters (much like it is in Russia's backyard, the Black Sea), so the poster takes this to be a flexing of muscles and an attempt at maybe intimidation of the opponent (although the Russians put it as the US-NATO (in their case) putting 'pressure' on).

China also reminds the US of the need to respect each other's sovereignty in equal relations etc.  Again, the poster took that as:  hey, respect China's sovereignty.

Perhaps as a new political watcher, I'm reading too much into these statements.

Kerry conveys that:

the US was not seeking to "contain" China. 

but what is actually happening, the Asia-Pacific alliances that are 'iron clad' and even the Philippine ally's assertion that the US is surrounding China (Fox News article), would indicate that perhaps the US wishes to do just that in the region.


As a novice political watcher, the poster perhaps reads too much into what's said and what's done.

Anyway, catch-ups in relation to US-China and Philippines are complete.
