DPRK ready to launch a "satellite"

08:27 25 MAR 2012

(AGI) Tokyo - Satellite images show that a long-range DPRK missile part, housing a satellite, has been moved to the country's NW. According to the Japanese agency Kyodo, which quotes Seoul diplomatic sources, the component has been moved by train to the launching base in Tongchang-ri, in the northern section of the Phyongan province. On 16 March, the North Koreans announced their intention to launch the Earth observation satellite Kwangmyongsong-3, triggering the alarm and the protests of countries such as South Korea, the US and Japan. It is widely feared that the launch be just an excuse to test North Korean long-range missile, which has a payload of 500 kg, sufficient for deploying an atomic bomb . .

This is WAY over the so called !RED LINE! that President Bush said the would NOT go over without paying a price such as US and other allied retaliation by military force.

Yet, here they are, doing it and even more so, in a very bold way. With absolute impunity.

Once again, we prove(d) to be one of the paper tigers, who Talk, Talk, Talk. Now it will be talk talk talk talk talk at the UN, but not a damned thing done. They are training in order to threaten the United States West coast with nuclear weapons.

Could be a nuke. Perhaps an EMP weapon. Iran and NK work together.

Checking the range rings for various missile platforms, Australia or Japan are the principal targets in range. Thailand and Taiwan would also have significant economic impact as manufacturers of consumer electronics.

Good time for us preppers to double check inventory. One poof from that satellite in the right spot will wipe out everything electronic in a large part of this country (look up EMP). And yes, that does include GPS.
