Am seeing a report, some parts recovered from a NK missile were determined to be western in origin

All of these things that have military capability are covered under export control laws. Many things commercially available are covered and anyone exporting them can be prosecuted unless it is approved by formal government processes (mostly ignored under 0bama).

You might recall that to get around those limitations, Bill Clinton had the decision-making authority transferred from DOD to the Commerce Dept, who then sold military items to the Chinese in repayment for China funding the election campaign.

[MtnClimber]

I do remember that. It was Loral that got to sell what I think was gyroscope technology to improve Chinese missiles and rockets and stop them from crashing. The CEO of Loral was a big lib supporter.

"I don’t know what kind of 'pressure transmitter' or 'transducer' it might be, but it could be a commonly available part one could get from a stocking distributor or a manufacturer directly.

NASA doesn’t make their little fiddly bits — they buy components, and whole entire sub-systems and complete functional systems from a host of makers."

What William of Barsoon said, and well said. The missiles are Russian designs that were modified in China then modified again in China or North Korea.

The missiles are on trucks, and they're launched from trucks. See? We in the U.S. don't launch our nuclear weapons from trucks.

By the way, keep your eye on the real ball. No one in the West knows how many mobile nuclear weapons China has now. There were several hundred that would reach anywhere in the United States around 2003. China has also been physically hiding its submarine development, but we know that some of the facilities for building submarines are enormous.

Russian leaders have bragged many times over the past few years, that they are building nuclear weapons as fast as they can--nuclear weapons that will get through our defenses (according to their own Iranian-like rants). China has also been hurrying to secretively build a larger air force. President Xi recently consolidated his power and took complete control of military matters. North Korea exists to give China and Russia an excuse to follow through with their own launches.

My advice is to build or install a family fallout shelter. Our government at every level is intent on continuing to spend hugely on useless programs and administrator salaries instead of the needed additions to military and civil defense.

It is not really a news. UN report on NK previous sanctions list some Western-made devices found in recovered N. Korean booster rockets which fell into Yellow Sea.

N. Korea made some adjustment so that, IIRC, in their third rocket launch, booster rockets were rigged to explode after they were spent. S. Korean military authorities announced at the time that their recovery attempts failed in essence because the rocket was disintegrated into small parts and spread over wide area. They did recover some parts which were intact, though they appeared to be part of outer frame with no components inside.

North Korea is a fake state.

James Lilley (30 year CIA veteran, friend of HW Bush and Ambassador to China during the 90s) told Wm Engdahl that if North Korea didn’t exist we would have to create it as a reason to keep the 6th Fleet in the Western Pacific.

Engdahl took this is an admission that NK was created (he also said it seemed like Lilley was drinking during the phonecall, which was late at night.)

Look at this, North Korea is a totally fake state:

The pressure transducers are probably for determining the detonation altitude by atmospheric pressure. Certainly not something we want them to have.

At very least, our current President seems to have his eyes open.

[al baby]

And then had Ron Brown killed to keep is mouf shut

[Chode]

[sparklite2]

Yup.

[blueplum]

all I’m seeing is the same banner on a 5-hr livestream

any updates?

[posterchild]

Was the headline translated from some other language?

[cba123]

No. That is the big problem currently with these independent media competitors.

Well one of the problems. They seem to be on 24/7. And they (can) be very quick to report things. Also they are available online. You don’t need cable.

But they are very, very early at the moment. And quite limited in what and when they offer coverage. They’re growing however.

I think this sort of offering (not necessarily this one, though it seems to be good) will at some point become true competitors to our media.

They’re not there yet, though.

This YouTube 24 hour live channel concept though, is I believe the breakthrough which will allow these to rapidly develop, in my view anyway.

[Steely Tom]

Oh yeah!

That one is good for a chuckle - thanks
