    SouthAmerica: Stories like that is turning “Time” magazine into a 3rd rate magazine.

    “North Korea’s Mafia Moment”
    By Bill Powell / Seoul
    Monday, Aug. 30, 2010
    http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,2011933,00.html

    The old story line:

    The South Korean military presented the findings of a multinational investigation into the sinking of the Cheonan, which killed 46 sailors,…

    …As world powers lined up to condemn North Korea for breaching a 1953 armistice agreement, and they blamed North Korea for the torpedo attack…


    ************


    The actual story of what happened to the Cheonan and its sailors:

    It’s embarrassing for a magazine such as “Time” magazine to still reporting the BS that came out after the Cheonan ship incident.

    How the reporters of “Time” can continue to be so clueless about what has transpired in South Korea in the last few weeks regarding that case?

    American mainstream media is becoming worthless by the day – I don’t know if it’s done on purpose or if they are becoming completely incompetent. It’s a good thing that I can read the news on the foreign press.

    The Brazilian newspapers have been reporting what has been transpiring in South Korea in the last few weeks regarding that case.

    The opposition party in South Korea found out that the party in power had cooked out that story that North Korea had torpedo the South Korean ship.

    The investigation of that incident showed that the ship Cheonan split in two because the ship hit a reef. The recovered wreckage of that ship shows that there were no sign of a torpedo hitting the ship, and the bodies of all the sailor that they recovered did not show any injuries from a torpedo explosion – all the bodies showed evidence that the sailors died from drowning.

    When they started checking the parts of the torpedo that the South Korean government claimed that they had just recovered from the bottom of the sea close to where they found the wreckage of the Cheonan – the researchers came to the conclusion that these torpedo parts had not been in the bottom of the sea for many decades.

    The South Korean government had cooked that story for local political reasons and now everybody knows – other than the Time magazine reporter – that these torpedo parts had been on a warehouse in South Korea for many decades and the entire fiasco was just a story that the South Korean government had made up.

    The North Koreans were right all along when they said that North Korea had nothing to do with the sinking of the Cheonan.

    If anything this story it is an embarrassment for the South Korean government, and the “Pathetic” US mainstream media still is publishing the old story, and they are clueless about what has been happening in South Korea.

    The South Korean government this week even suggested a new tax to raise funds for the merger of the two Koreas in the near future.

    No wonder many of these major US magazines (Time, Newsweek) are becoming obsolete so fast – they have been publishing garbage over and over again, plus the pure incompetence of the people who write articles for these old dinosaurs.

    SouthAmerica: We have had a discussion going on here on this thread for the last 5 years, and it does not make sense for these guys to re-start the old Korean War.

    It didn't make any sense for them to start the first Korean war, but they did.

    SouthAmerica: Reply to Lucrum


    We have been discussing North Korea and nuclear weapons for more than 5 years here on the Elite Trader Politics forum.

    Today, the North Koreans are aware of what happened to Saddam Hussein, and that probably would be the faith of the senior leaders of North Korea as well.

    The only difference is that North Korea has between 10 or more nuclear warheads on its arsenal, and that can make a big difference.

    The best option available for North Korea is to attack Tokyo with 4 or 5 nuclear warheads since that would take care of the crumbling international monetary system based on the US dollar and put it out of its misery.

    The United States and South Korea keep playing military games and provoking North Korea – in turn North Korea can claim that they shot these nuclear warheads against Tokyo just to see how effective these nuclear warheads are when landing on top of a big city such as Tokyo – it would be considered just a military exercise and nothing to worry about.

    We have discussed that scenery as an easy task for North Korea to achieve – people who play with fire can get burned – and things can get out of control very easily.

    By the way, which country would retaliate on behalf of Japan with nuclear weapons against North Korea?

    Keep in mind that attacking North Korea with nuclear weapons would be the same as attacking China with nukes because they are next door to each other.

    Besides which country would use their nuclear weapons to retaliate a nuclear attack against Japan?

    The Europeans? I don't think so.

    The Russians (they are part of Europe but) I don't think so....

    The Chinese? I don't think so...

    The United States? I don't think so, since too many Americans still remember WW II, and they remember Pearl Harbor and the war on the Pacific.

    Moral of the story – no nuclear retaliation against North Korea.

    North Korea can get away with a nuclear attack against Japan.....

    SouthAmerica: People are so delusional and they over-estimate the power that the US military has around the world – they probably have watched too many Hollywood movies, and then started believing in the fiction of unlimited US military power.

    On the discussion section of the Charlie Rose Show about the current North Korean conflict, some lady compared North Korea with Cuba and how the United States is going to promise North Korea that the US is not going to attack North Korea and that is the solution for the current military crisis in that area of the world.

    I did reply to that person by saying the following:

    It would be a waste of time and resources for North Korea to attack South Korea, and re-start the old Korean War.

    North Korea has a much better option at its disposal, which can inflict a much bigger damage to its real enemy the United States - by dropping 4 or 5 nuclear warheads on top of Tokyo the result it would be a collapse of the US dollar, because of all the financial interconnections between the United States and Japan - and the over US$ 1 trillion dollars in foreign exchange reserves that Japan is holding that it would be needed immediately in Japan as a result of the attack.

    The Japanese would need to dump their supply of US dollars creating a massive meltdown in the international monetary system. That it would be the spark that it would trigger a massive global meltdown of the US dollar.

    The international monetary system based on the US dollar is at the edge of the abyss, and an event such as a nuclear attack against Tokyo it would create a massive international monetary meltdown - and this time around there is no safety net to rescue the dying international monetary system.
