The War For Our Mind & Soul Continues

April 21st, 2017
Ed Note: The Carl Vinson (Navy Strike Team) is estimated to arrive near the Korean Peninsula on or about April 25th, along with the Reagan and Nimitz. Japanese and South Koreans are currently preparing for a missile attack by North Korea, but Americans are basically in denial due to conflicting news reports by media. Those days of hiding under school desks and knowing where the closest bomb shelter (was) are long gone with the Cuban Missile Crisis being a historical threat that has now become far less dangerous than what we could face in coming days. North Korea might be very clever by showing the world their failed attempts, but yet intelligence agencies say....it's entirely possible that Munchkin-Un could pull a rabbit out-of-his-hat by launching his "KN-08 missile with a range of 3,400 miles." However, an ICBM with a nuclear warhead must reach space and re-enter over the U.S. with precision.
Since 2012, North Korea successfully launched two known satellites into orbit after four previous failed attempts.
Munchkin-Un recently declared that he will turn America into ashes with a pre-emptive nuclear strike, but what are the odds? Myself and others agree...it's an empty threat and the worse case scenario might be Hawaii, Alaska and maybe California that could take a hit. Either way, the resulting damage and radiation fall-out would be restricted to those areas except for fall-out along a Jetstream weather system.
To prevent a NK missile from hitting (at least) Alaska and California, Vandenberg AFB in California and Greely Alaska are prepared to intercept a NK missile. Tests over the last few years have been successful and I believe a recent launch from Vandenberg (west of me) was indicative of the squirrelly contrail I observed last week, common after a launch from Vandenberg.
In any event, I'm sitting in the desert of western Arizona and according to https://nuclearsecrecy.

Could North Korea Hit the U.S. with a Nuclear Missile?
Given the rise in military tensions with North Korea, including nuclear testing and rhetoric from the regime, there is fast-mounting concern about North Korean technological progress in the area of nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles and long-range delivery systems.
Not surprisingly, the Pentagon is revving up its missile defense technology and taking North Korea’s nuclear threat very seriously – despite continued questions regarding the accuracy of the country’s claims about its nuclear arsenal and some of its weapons capabilities.

'Defeat ISIS and go home': Trump rejects US role in Libya nation-building
RT - President Donald Trump does not see a US role in helping its European allies build a government in Libya. Instead, he told reporters, he wants to defeat Islamic State, after which the US can focus on domestic issues. Speaking to reporters in Washington, DC on Thursday, following a meeting with Italian Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni, Trump contradicted his guest’s assessment that the US role in stabilizing Libya would be critical, arguing the US has “enough roles… everywhere.” I do not see a role in Libya,” Trump said. “I do see a role in getting rid of ISIS. We’re being very effective in that regard.” “We are effectively ridding the world of ISIS. I see that as the primary role, and that’s what we’re going to do – whether it’s in Iraq, or in Libya, or anywhere else. And that role will come to an end at a certain point, and we’ll be able to go back home and rebuild our country, which is what I want to do,” Trump concluded. Gentiloni had just finished making a case for US involvement in stabilizing Libya by helping the internationally recognized government in Tripoli establish control over the country’s entire territory.
Putin sends troops to Russia's border with North Korea after China also sends soldiers to its boundary
Daily Mail - The Russian President fears there will be a huge exodus of North Korean refugees if his American counterpart, Donald Trump, launches military action against Pyongyang. It comes days after it emerged that China is also sending 150,000 soldiers to its southern frontier to cope with the tidal wave of North Koreans Beijing fears would flee across the border if war breaks out…
N. Korea threatens to ‘reduce US to ashes’ with ‘super-mighty pre-emptive strike’
RT - North Korean state media has warned Washington of a “super-mighty pre-emptive strike” which would “reduce the US to ashes.” It comes after US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Washington is looking to pressure Pyongyang over its nuclear program. “In the case of our super-mighty preemptive strike being launched, it will completely and immediately wipe out not only US imperialists’ invasion forces in South Korea and its surrounding areas, but the US mainland and reduce them to ashes,” Rodong Sinmun, the official newspaper of the North’s ruling Workers’ Party, wrote on Thursday, as quoted by Reuters. It comes just one day after Tillerson, as part of President Donald Trump’s hardline stance against North Korea, said the US is exploring ways to put pressure on Pyongyang…. Tillerson wasn’t the only Trump-appointed US official making remarks about North Korea on Wednesday.
Speaking from the ‘USS Ronald Reagan’ in Japan, Vice President Mike Pence vowed an “overwhelming and effective” response to any potential attacks from Pyongyang, stressing that the “sword stands ready.” Defense Secretary Jim Mattis simultaneously denounced Pyongyang’s latest missile launch attempt during his Middle East tour, telling reporters in Saudi Arabia that “the leader of North Korea again recklessly tried to provoke something by launching a missile."
U.S. Military Commander: ‘Daesh Has Used Chemicals in the Vicinity of Mosul’
CNS News - As the Islamic State’s military position worsens in West Mosul, “so too does their humanity,” Major General Joseph Martin, commander of coalition ground forces in Iraq, told a news conference on Wednesday. Martin said “hundreds” of Iraqi civilians are being murdered by ISIS “on a weekly basis.” And he said chemical weapons were used this past weekend on Iraqi Security Forces that are trying to liberate the city, with the help of U.S. and coalition troops…. Martin said the U.S. military is “still testing” to find out what chemical was used. “But the chemicals that they've used in the past are all low-grade chemicals because of their lack of production capability.
France Hit With Terror Attack Days Before Presidential Election
Paul Joseph Watson - UPDATE: ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack. The second gunman is still at large… The incident occurred on the busy Champs-Elysee in Paris. At least two attackers who were reportedly armed with kalashnikovs were involved in a shootout with police which left one officer dead and another injured. One of the attackers was killed, while the other remains at large. Police are searching for a suspect named Youssouf El Osri who arrived from Belgium via train before the attack…. Right-wing candidate Marine Le Pen has vowed to deal with the threat posed by Islamic terrorism, but she is opposed by establishment candidate Emmanuel Macron who today was endorsed by Barack Obama.
Bill Gates warns terrorists could weaponize smallpox
RT - Speaking at a security conference in Munich, the richest man in the world warned that the impact of deadly viruses such as smallpox, should they spread, could be worse than that of a nuclear attack. Gates, who delivered his chilling warning ahead of a speech at the Royal United Services Institute in London (RUSI), said the world should not underestimate the potential threat of lethal respiratory viruses, as they are becoming easier to re-create and spread…. “The next epidemic could originate on the computer screen of a terrorist intent on using genetic engineering to create a synthetic version of the smallpox virus... or a super contagious and deadly strain of the flu,” he added.
Agricultural mega-merger could make China leading GMO producer
RT - A $43 billion takeover deal that would merge Chinese state-owned agriculture company ChemChina and Swiss-owned seed company Syngenta is expected to turn the world’s second largest economy into a biotech titan. In recent weeks, the deal has been approved by EU and US authorities. Once closed it will be China’s biggest overseas acquisition. It will create the world’s largest farm-business oligopoly, concentrating agricultural power in the hands of the three countries - the US, Germany, and China…. The deal has been strongly opposed by domestic anti-GMO campaigners. In recent years scandals have rocked the country, including one of tainted baby formula in 2008 and exploding watermelons in 2011. The Syngenta takeover conflicts with the Chinese government’s promises to protect national food security. In 2016 Beijing announced that over the next four years the government would invest three trillion yuan ($435 billion) into developing the country’s agriculture.
