What You Need to Know About North Korea’s Hydrogen Bomb and EMP Capabilities

.

Posted by Daisy Luther

Date: September 11, 2017

Last weekend, North Korea conducted their most powerful nuclear test ever, with what was believed to be a hydrogen bomb in the northern part of their country. The explosion was so massive that it triggered a man-made earthquake measuring 6.3 on the Richter scale. If North Korean sources are to be believed, the bomb tested was a powerful 100 kiloton weapon.

But that’s not all. To take the massive threat to an entirely different level, the North Korean state news also warned that a powerful hydrogen bomb could be detonated at a high altitude to create an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) capable of taking out parts of the American power grid. (PS: They have two satellites orbiting over the United States that could potentially carry out such an attack.)

Knowledge is power, so let’s break down this information with some explanations.

What is a hydrogen bomb?

A hydrogen bomb has some similarities to an atom bomb, but works using an opposite chemical reaction and is far more powerful. Both hydrogen bombs and atomic bombs are nuclear in nature, so after the initial blast, there would be deadly radioactive fallout and environmental issues.

An atom bomb is what was used by the United States against the Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan during World War 2.

Nuclear fission produces the atomic bomb, a weapon of mass destruction that uses power released by the splitting of atomic nuclei.

When a single free neutron strikes the nucleus of an atom of radioactive material like uranium or plutonium, it knocks two or three more neutrons free. Energy is released when those neutrons split off from the nucleus, and the newly released neutrons strike other uranium or plutonium nuclei, splitting them in the same way, releasing more energy and more neutrons. This chain reaction spreads almost instantaneously. (source)

To give you an idea of the power of an atomic bomb, Hiroshima was hit with the power of 15,000 tons of TNT, while Nagasaki was blasted with the destructive power of 21,000 tons of TNT.

A hydrogen bomb works differently.

Nuclear fusion is a reaction that releases atomic energy by the union of light nuclei at high temperatures to form heavier atoms. Hydrogen bombs, which use nuclear fusion, have higher destructive power and greater efficiencies than atomic bombs.

Due to the high temperatures required to initiate a nuclear fusion reaction, the process is often referred to as a thermonuclear explosion. This is typically done with the isotopes of hydrogen (deuterium and tritium) which fuse together to form Helium atoms. This led to the term “hydrogen bomb” to describe the deuterium-tritium fusion bomb. (source)

Hydrogen bombs (H-bombs) have been used before.

The first hydrogen bomb was exploded on November 1, 1952 at the small island Eniwetok in the Marshall Islands. Its destructive power was several megatons of TNT. The blast, timed at 19:15 GMT, produced a light brighter than 1,000 suns and a heat wave felt 50 kilometres away. The Soviet Union detonated a hydrogen bomb in the megaton range in August of 1953. The US exploded a 15 megaton hydrogen bomb on March 1, 1954. It had a fireball of 4.8 km in diameter and created a huge mushroom-shaped cloud. (source)

An h-bomb is expected to be 700 times more powerful than the atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima, during which more than 150,000 people died. But they didn’t die all at once. Many of them suffered terrible, lingering deaths of agony. Here is the breakdown of this from a UCLA report.

• Very large numbers of person were crushed in their homes and in the buildings in which they were working. Their skeletons could be seen in the debris and ashes for almost 1,500 meters from the center of the blast, particularly in the downwind directions.

• Large numbers of the population walked for considerable distances after the detonation before they collapsed and died.Large numbers developed vomiting and bloody and watery diarrhea (vomitus and bloody feces were found on the floor in many of the aid stations), associated with extreme weakness. They died in the first and second weeks after the bombs were dropped.

• During this same period, deaths from internal injuries and from burns were common. Either the heat from the fires or infrared radiation from the detonations caused many burns, particularly on bare skin or under dark clothing.

• After a lull without peak mortality from any special causes, deaths began to occur from purpura, which was often associated with epilation, anemia, and a yellowish coloration of the skin. The so-called bone marrow syndrome, manifested by a low white blood cell count and almost complete absence of the platelets necessary to prevent bleeding, was probably at its maximum between the fourth and sixth weeks after the bombs were dropped. (source)

Now, multiply the above by 700 times and you’ll have a good idea of the horrifying affects of a hydrogen bomb. If it were to strike a major population area in the United States, the death toll would be astounding.

This video shows a comparison of actual atomic and hydrogen bombs.

How large of an area would be affected by a hydrogen bomb?

According to the website National Terror Alert, created by the DHS, these are the distances at which the destruction would occur, using the Hiroshima bomb as a point of reference.

1 Megaton Surface Blast: Pressure Damage

The fission bomb detonated over Hiroshima had an explosive blast equivalent to 12,500 tons of TNT. A 1 megaton hydrogen bomb, hypothetically detonated on the earth’s surface, has about 80 times the blast power of that 1945 explosion.

Radius of destructive circle: 1.7 miles
12 pounds per square inch

At the center lies a crater 200 feet deep and 1000 feet in diameter. The rim of this crater is 1,000 feet wide and is composed of highly radioactive soil and debris. Nothing recognizable remains within about 3,200 feet (0.6 miles) from the center, except, perhaps, the remains of some buildings’ foundations. At 1.7 miles, only some of the strongest buildings — those made of reinforced, poured concrete — are still standing. Ninety-eight percent of the population in this area are dead.

Radius: 2.7 miles
5 psi

Virtually everything is destroyed between the 12 and 5 psi rings. The walls of typical multi-story buildings, including apartment buildings, have been completely blown out. The bare, structural skeletons of more and more buildings rise above the debris as you approach the 5 psi ring. Single-family residences within this this area have been completely blown away — only their foundations remain. Fifty percent of the population between the 12 and 5 psi rings are dead. Forty percent are injured.

Radius: 4.7 miles
2 psi

Any single-family residences that have not been completely destroyed are heavily damaged. The windows of office buildings have been blown away, as have some of their walls. The contents of these buildings’ upper floors, including the people who were working there, are scattered on the street. A substantial amount of debris clutters the entire area. Five percent of the population between the 5 and 2 psi rings are dead. Forty-five percent are injured.

Radius: 7.4 miles
1 psi

Residences are moderately damaged. Commercial buildings have sustained minimal damage. Twenty-five percent of the population between the 2 and 1 psi rings have been injured, mainly by flying glass and debris. Many others have been injured from thermal radiation — the heat generated by the blast. The remaining seventy-five percent are unhurt. (source)

But it isn’t just the initial blast you’d have to be concerned about. The radioactive fallout would affect many more people further away from the blast during the first week.

1 Megaton Surface Blast: Fallout

One of the effects of nuclear weapons detonated on or near the earth’s surface is the resulting radioactive fallout. Immediately after the detonation, a great deal of earth and debris, made radioactive by the blast, is carried high into the atmosphere, forming a mushroom cloud. The material drifts downwind and gradually falls back to earth, contaminating thousands of square miles. This page describes the fallout pattern over a seven-day period.

Assumptions
Wind speed: 15 mph
Wind direction: due east
Time frame: 7 days

3,000 Rem*
Distance: 30 miles
Much more than a lethal dose of radiation. Death can occur within hours of exposure. About 10 years will need to pass before levels of radioactivity in this area drop low enough to be considered safe, by U.S. peacetime standards.

900 Rem
Distance: 90 miles
A lethal dose of radiation. Death occurs from two to fourteen days.

300 Rem
Distance: 160 miles
Causes extensive internal damage, including harm to nerve cells and the cells that line the digestive tract, and results in a loss of white blood cells. Temporary hair loss is another result.

90 Rem
Distance: 250 miles
Causes a temporary decrease in white blood cells, although there are no immediate harmful effects. Two to three years will need to pass before radioactivity levels in this area drop low enough to be considered safe, by U.S. peacetime standards.

*Rem: Stands for “roentgen equivalent man.” This is a measurement used to quantify the amount of radiation that will produce certain biological effects. (source)

So, as you can see, a hydrogen bomb puts the destruction at a whole different level from the nuclear warheads that people expected where Kim Jong Un’s most devastating weapons. And sadly, this isn’t the only risk.

Could an H-bomb detonated at high altitude take down the American power grid?

Something that could potentially be even more deadly during the long-term is a hydrogen bomb that is detonated at high altitude, which would cause an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) that could devastate the electrical grid across a wide geographical swath.

And this weekend, Kim Jong Un directly threatened the United States with such an attack.

The news Sunday morning that North Korea had launched what appeared to be its sixth nuclear test and most powerful one to date is troubling enough.

But a statement from the rogue regime took things to a whole new level. The North said it had tested an H-bomb that was “a multi-functional thermonuclear nuke with great destructive power which can be detonated at high altitudes for super-powerful EMP (electromagnetic pulse) attack according to strategic goals.” (source)

In such an event, part of the United States could lose power indefinitely. Our infrastructure and devices would not be repairable. Everything would require replacement, which could take several years.

NOTE: For an excellent, non-sensational resource, I recommend anything written by Dr. Arthur T. Bradley, a NASA scientist and recurring speaker over at Preppers University. He has written numerous books and articles about the threat of an EMP. His book, Disaster Preparedness for EMP Attacks and Solar Storms, is a must read for anyone concerned about the possibility of this type of attack. In it, he dispels many rumor and myths about such an event and replaces them with facts based on his research with NASA.

It’s important to note that North Korea does have satellites that would be capable of an atmospheric detonation that would cause an electromagnetic pulse. In fact, two of the were over our country as recently as last month. At the time, Dr. Peter Vincent Pry, executive director of the Congressional Task Force on National and Homeland Security and chief of staff of the Congressional EMP Commission, warned:

“The EMP Commission has officially been warning about those satellites especially now that the (intelligence) community admits that North Korea can miniaturize warheads,” Pry stated. “Our argument all along has been that they could make weapons small enough to put on those satellites that pass over the United States on the optimum trajectory for an EMP attack on North America.”

“And they would obviously be a basis for a surprise EMP attack if North Korea wants to commit aggression against South Korea. Or to blackmail us if we were going to intervene to deliver on our security guarantees for Japan, South Korea or the Pacific.”

Pry said the satellites are orbiting at the “optimum height for putting an EMP field over all 48 contiguous United States.”

Pry warned that deploying satellites for the purpose of an EMP option against the U.S. “is exactly the kind of thing that he (North Korean leader Kim Jong Un) would do.  It would make strategic sense to do it. We do know that Kim Jong Un is a risk-taker.”

Pry surmised that the North Koreans may be utilizing the satellites for an attack plan pioneered by the Soviets during the Cold War to attack the U.S. with an EMP as part of a larger surprise assault aimed at crippling the U.S. military.

Unlike the Soviet plan, Pry opined, the North Koreans may be seeking to use an EMP attack to target “our electrical grid and our civilian critical infrastructure. And they only need one weapon to do that.” (source)

Zero Hedge reported on this worst-case scenario event:

However, it would probably lead to an unknown number of indirect deaths as hospitals and essential infrastructure lose power.

“The idea of an EMP attack is to detonate a nuclear weapon tens or hundreds of miles above the earth with the aim of knocking out power in much of the U.S. Unlike the U.S. atomic bombs dropped over Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, such a weapon wouldn’t directly destroy buildings or kill people. Instead, electromagnetic waves from the nuclear explosion would generate pulses to overwhelm the electric grid and electronic devices in the same way a lightning surge can destroy equipment.”

In the worst possible scenario, regional power grids could be offline for months, potentially costing many deaths as people would eventually start running out of necessities like food and medicine. Lawmakers and the US military have been aware of the EMP threat for many years, according to WSJ. IN a 2008 report commissioned by Congress, the authors warned that an EMP attack would lead to “widespread and long-lasting disruption and damage to the critical infrastructures that underpin the fabric of US society.”

In a report published last month, the Hill noted that the North could choose to carry out an EMP attack on Japan or South Korea as a more politically acceptable act of aggression. Such an attack could help the North accomplish its three most-important political goals, the Hill said.

“North Korea has nuclear-armed missiles and satellites potentially capable of electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack. EMP is considered by many the most politically acceptable use of a nuclear weapon, because the high-altitude detonation (above 30 kilometers) produces no blast, thermal, or radioactive fallout effects harmful to people.

EMP itself is harmless to people, destroying only electronics. But by destroying electric grids and other life-sustaining critical infrastructures, the indirect effects of EMP can kill far more people in the long-run than nuclear blasting a city. In this scenario, North Korea makes an EMP attack on Japan and South Korea to achieve its three most important foreign policy goals: reunification with South Korea, revenge upon Japan for World War II, and recognition of North Korea as a world power.” (source)

However, Anthony Furey, the author of Pulse Attack: The Real Story Behind The Secret Weapon That Can Destroy North America, believes that North Korea would not start out an attack like this on Guam, South Korea, or Japan, due to the ferocious response from the US military, but would strike the United States directly.

Conventional wisdom tells us that North Korea would be incredibly reticent to live up to its threats of launching a missile strike, nuclear or otherwise, on South Korea, Guam, Japan or elsewhere because the retaliation from the United States would be immediate and ferocious, effectively destroying the country and killing all of its leadership.

However, if Kim Jong Un’s first strike is a successful EMP attack against North America, this would largely shut down the ability of the U.S. to respond. While some elements of U.S. military infrastructure have been hardened for resilience against an EMP strike, there is no standardization across the board. Plus, civilian infrastructure is hardly protected, if at all. The United States and Canada would be in the dark and sitting ducks.

A handful of national security experts and legislators in the U.S. have attempted to sound the alarm about this troubling vulnerability but have largely been unsuccessful in getting regulations in place. The utilities industry claims it’s not its problem, but that of the military’s, something experts firmly dispute. (source)

Of course, a miscalculation by North Korea could lead to a ground strike instead of an atmospheric one, leading back to the first scenario we discussed. Really, with things so volatile, you should be preparing for all possible scenarios:

• Nuclear Preparedness Intensive interviews
• How to Prepare for a Nuclear Strike
• Getting Prepared for a Disaster (This includes an hour-long interview with Dr. Bradley, the EMP expert mentioned above)
• How to Use Potassium Iodide in a Nuclear Emergency (Free PDF)
• Getting Prepared for a Long-Term Scenario

Is the United States discussing a military response?

General James Mattis, the Secretary of Defense, has suggested that a military response could be imminent.

“Our commitment among the allies are ironclad,” Mattis said. “Any threat to the United States or its territories, including Guam, or our allies will be met with a massive military response, a response both effective and overwhelming.”

Mattis called on North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to “take heed” of the UN Security Council’s unanimous position against North Korea’s nuclear program and again stressed the US military’s position.

“We are not looking to the total annihilation of a country, namely North Korea, but as I said, we have many options to do so,” Mattis said. (source)

The problem with military action, though, is that both Russia and China have said that if the United States strikes first, they will retaliate. This, of course, would result in a potential global conflict with the world’s superpowers coming head to head.

Don’t be distracted while the United States digs itself out from under the devastation of Hurricane Harvey and holds its breath watching the uncertain path of Hurricane Irma. As devastating as those storms are and could be, we may have even more dire things to worry about.

Do you have knowledge about nuclear weapons?

My research comes from a variety of experts cited on the internet, but it’s purely theoretical for me. Do you have more information?

Please weigh in below in the comments section. Your information is very welcome. Please let us know where your knowledge comes from. (Do you/did you work in this field? Do you have a military background? A scientific background?)  We’d love to hear from you.

Melchizedek Prophecy - North Korea is on the brink of self-destructing, and sinking into oblivion

.

Melchizedek says the continued testing of nuclear bombs by North Korea has added to the years of damage done by other nuclear powers since 1950 to our Earth and environment.  He also says that while the current situation might get us to the edge of nuclear war, it will not happen because Mother Earth has begun the process of repairing our planet from the carnage of the past.

However, continued activity could have enormous consequences to North Korea if it does not stop.  A spiritual intervention might be needed to end the build up once and for all which remains to be seen.  Continued ignorance of the damage being done by the testing, will result in severe actions that may be quite devastating.

The Chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is the head of state and supreme commander of the armed forces of North Korea and the most powerful person in the government as the Supreme Leader of North Korea is Kim Jong-un..

Let us hope and pray Melchizedek is right.

North Korea Nuclear Test Site Collapse Killed 200 People: Report

Sofia Lotto Persio, Newsweek

More than 200 people are believed to have died in underground tunnels after a collapse at North Korea’s Punggye-ri nuclear facility.

The test site was reportedly badly shaken by the aftermath of the country’s sixth nuclear test, a 100-kiloton hydrogen bomb roughly seven times more powerful than the atomic bomb the U.S. dropped on Hiroshima in 1945.

North Korean sources told Japanese television channel Asahi TV that the collapse occurred in October during the construction of an underground tunnel at the facility.

Around 100 workers were stuck underground and a group that was sent to their rescue were also buried after another collapse, causing a total death toll of around 200.

A series of small-scale earthquakes that followed the September 3 test indicated the facility, built south of the Mantapsan mountain, may no longer be stable enough to conduct further tests.

According to experts, the building of new underground tunnels would indicate a willingness to move the test site to another part of the mountain, as the facility is unlikely to be abandoned. 

 “If North Korea were to attempt to continue testing under this mountain (such as in the area more to the eastern side), then we would expect to see new tunneling in the future near the North Portal, still under Mt. Mantap,” researchers Frank Pabian and Jack Liu wrote in a report published earlier this month on the North Korea monitoring website 38 North.

Conversations with Melchizedek – North Korea – Hatred – World War III – Truth

.

Are we spiraling toward World War III?

As the reckless missile and hydrogen bomb tests continue by North Korea and the war of words between President Donald Trump and Chairman Kim Jong-Un magnifies the tension, the news media would have it that we are on the brink of World War III and any day we might find ourselves overcome by clouds of radiation and killed.

Well Melchizedek has had a few words of wisdom about that and his explanation is quite different.  Several months ago, he said tension between the US and North Korea would begin to spiral out-of-control and the media would strike fear in the people when they started to make references to World War III.

Perhaps such an effect would fall on deaf ears for those too young to have experienced the impact of World War II and the Cold War aftermath, but believe it or not, though the Madison Avenue marketers may have forgotten about us, we are still here.

For all intents and purposes Baby Boomers and Millennials are tied in numbers, yet Boomers control more than 50% of all wealth in America.  In 2030 when Boomers are just 17 million they will still control 45% of all wealth.

We know of the ravages of war, the wars that were never won, and the effect of tens of thousands of deaths of our brothers, friends, and neighbors.  We also know of the damage wars can cause to our national psyche.  Yes, the media are causing fear with reports of potential catastrophic deaths in South Korea and to American troops stationed at the Korean border.

Melchizedek reminds us that fear breeds more fear and collective fear manifests into reality.  Then he mentions a few other factors we may never have considered. 

Perhaps the greatest Creation in all of Creation is the amazing planet Earth we call home.  This vessel has provided all of our needs for billions of years from health to housing, food to warmth.  What have we done in return?

We test nuclear weapons, in the air and underground.  We even drop a couple on Japan, and continue to test nuclear weapons long after a test ban agreement was adopted.  In fact, according to the Arms Control Association, since the first nuclear test explosion on July 16, 1945, at least eight nations have detonated 2,056 nuclear test explosions, at dozens of test sites.  These sites are all over the globe from Lop Nor in China, to the atolls of the Pacific, to Nevada, to Algeria where France conducted its first nuclear device, to western Australia where the U.K. exploded nuclear weapons, the South Atlantic, to Semipalatinsk in Kazakhstan, across Russia, and elsewhere.

Conveniently, most of the test sites are in the lands of indigenous peoples and far from the capitals of the testing governments. A large number of the early tests—528—were detonated in the atmosphere, which spread radioactive materials through the atmosphere which eventually fell to earth.  Many underground nuclear blasts have also vented radioactive material into the atmosphere and left radioactive contamination in the soil.  What about the massive amounts of radiation blown deep into the bowels of the earth through nearly 1,500 explosions?

According to Melchizedek, our scientists have been completely wrong in trying to calculate the impact of humankind on climate change and global warming.  Mining coal, oil, and uranium among other things has certainly been a lousy way to treat Mother Earth, but it is nothing compared to the devastating impact over 2,000 nuclear bombs have caused over the years.

As the radiation made its way down through the various layers from crust to hot mantles to molten core, stop right there.  There is no known answer for what lies below the surface of the earth and we are constantly discovering new things, like oceans of water hundreds of miles down.

Truth is we have no idea what is under us, how it functions, and how it might be influenced by super-heated bombs and deadly radiation.  How can we honestly make any claims about climate change when we do not even know what is going on under the very surface we walk upon.  Add to that what happens to all the hot and molten layers of sub-surface when exposed to radiation for decades.

The nuclear bomb category includes the first atomic bombs dropped on Japan.  Resulting temperatures can reach 7,000 degrees Fahrenheit compared to the 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit of molten lava under the earth.

Hydrogen bombs require 20 million degrees Fahrenheit just to generate the hydrogen reaction within the bomb.  In addition, there is the destructive power as the hydrogen bomb can be 1,000 times stronger than the atomic bomb.

We have not factored this astounding destructive effect of the 2,056 nuclear and hydrogen bomb explosions into our climate control and global warming analysis.  Melchizedek says the increase in our temperature and global warming effect is a result of the radiation seeking its way to the core of the earth where the temperature is 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit.

What we are experiencing, as we face and will continue to face the wrath of Mother Nature, is the cleansing of the Earth of the effects of our testing of nuclear weapons. If we are not prepared to protect our Earth, this miraculous living spirit was created to take care of itself.

Natural storms doing unnatural things are the result, until the damage has been repaired.  We can count on it taking at least another 6-12 months.  What better way to reduce the aching impact of the poison we have driven into the very core, or heart, of our host and protector, the Earth.

However, the years of damage and abuse will require a year of super storms, followed by several years of occasional super storms, before the healing will be complete.  It would not have been necessary if we did not set off the 2,056 nuclear bombs.

In 1996, negotiations on a global Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) were concluded and the treaty was opened for signature on September 24, 1996. The CTBT, which prohibits "any nuclear weapon test explosion or any other nuclear explosion" and established an international test monitoring and verification system, has not yet entered into force.

Here are the nuclear nations of the world and the number of nuclear bomb blasts they contributed to the destruction of Earth.

United States (1,030)

USSR/Russia (715 tests)

United Kingdom (45 tests)

France (210 tests)

China (45 tests)

India (3 tests)
Not a CTBT signatory.

Pakistan
Not a CTBT signatory.

North Korea (6 tests)
Not a CTBT signatory.

Israel (?)

Not a CTBT signatory.  Secret but estimated between 75 and 400 nuclear warheads.

Our actions today are not the cause of the unnatural natural disasters we face. With the exception of North Korea, they are the consequences for what we have done. Earth will make the necessary repairs using the gifts given to the Earth at Creation.  That is what Melchizedek says we are experiencing.

As for the eventual consequences of the North Korean threat, if they do not come to the understanding that the tests are causing the unstable and greatly increased intensity of the natural storms, they will be destroyed by earthquakes, not the USA, before World War III begins.

Melchizedek says North Korea likely will fire a H-Bomb toward the US that will explode and contaminate the Pacific Ocean with radiation.  Earth will respond with earthquakes that will destroy North Korea.

         

Remember, the half-life of the residue from the bombs tells how long the land will be useless.  The Hiroshima bomb used Uranium-235, while the Nagasaki bomb used Plutonium-239.  The half-life of U-235 is 700 million years, while Pu-239 is 24,000 years.  That is far too long to wait for the Earth to be cleansed.

We face a very difficult time as the Earth makes the necessary repairs to allow us to continue our path of spiritual evolution.  There will be deaths from the disasters, many, but even deaths are a chance for a soul to start over again.

What we are witnessing is the love of the Creator for all of Creation, and the omniscient of the Creator in providing healing to those creations.  This is not the wrath of God against humanity, for the forgiveness of the Creator transcends all human emotion, action, or deed, good or bad.

Obama's Whimsical Pollyanna approach to Foreign Policy failed - Now What???

.

When President Obama was elected into office six long years ago we were promised everything under the sun and for the most part we have been struggling to find the light at the end of the tunnel of disappointments.

No where was it more true than in the area of foreign policy where the president promised to close Guantanamo prison, get out of Iraq, get out of Afghanistan, bring peace to the Israelis and Palestinians, stop Iran, stop North Korea, stop Russia, solve the Middle East peace problems, and, well you've all heard the litany of promises.

Back then it was heresy to say the newly elected Obama had no foreign policy experience, in fact no administrative experience either, but everyone gave him the benefit of the doubt.  For six years the liberal media has ignored, explained away or covered up the astounding failures of Obama and aided the president in blaming any problems on George Bush, as if that meant Obama didn't have to do anything because it was Bush's fault.

Even Franklin Roosevelt, the most effective of all Democrat liberal presidents, who was elected at the beginning of the Great Depression, the one that was still far worse than what Obama inherited, didn't spend the next six years blaming Hoover and the Republicans for the mess we were in.  In fact, he reached out to Hoover to help him put America back to work and then help with World War II preparations.

That would be like Obama asking Romney to help him fix the problems of America because Romney, like Hoover, was experienced, could manage and could create policy that worked.  Needless to say Obama would never stoop so low as to ask a Republican with a mind of his own to help America.  It was far more important to blame everything on the Republicans forever.

Rabid partisanship and inflammatory rhetoric were Obama's tools to deflect criticism and explain away failure and the media let him get away with it as did his own party.  So Obama spent the last six years with an almost disinterested approach to foreign policy.  I mean the one event in which he was personally involved and took an active role was the killing of Osama Bin Laden, the unarmed Bin Laden that is.

Have things changed?  Today his decision to pull troops out of Iraq has resulted in one of the worst blood baths since he took office.  Because of his policy failures we are going to be back in Iraq one way or the other just to help stabilize he Middle East.

So how does our cerebral and aloof president handle this world threatening crisis?  Well, he is out playing two rounds of golf today at a Democrat fundraiser.  Need I say more about his whimsical and Pollyanna approach to foreign policy?

North Korea Defies Obama - Shoots a Blank with Rocket

.

Invasion of Yellow Sea a Success

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, the 29 year old seeking his first success to demonstrate he is following in his father's footsteps, discovered the dangers of military and intelligence advice.

His rocket launch, to be witnessed by media from throughout the world, lasted all of 61 seconds before blowing apart and falling into the ocean.

While they actually admitted failure for the first time in the history of North Korea, there were mumblings of sabotage by sinister Western forces.

The people of North Korea were told the invasion of the Yellow Sea was a success.

What next?

Obamaville March 20 - This and that among other things.

Mexican Earthquake

Mexico just got hit by a 7.4 earthquake. Somehow the jolt south of the border caused the CNN earthquake expert weatherman in Atlantato suffer a near global meltdown. There are a number of good anchors and weather people on TV but if you take away their prepared script on the teleprompter and ask them to extemporaneous fill in forget get it, their brain wiring shorts out.

While video feeds were being uploaded from the Mexican danger zone the weatherman suddenly ran out of teleprompter and forced to use his powers, knowledge and skills, he stammered. Then he started rambling away on his personal unscripted philosophy on how deep is a deep earthquake, this one was just 12 miles deep. When he could not remember the strength of the 2010 Haiti earthquake (it was 7.0), I changed channels.

Keystone Pipeline

As I wrote in earlier articles, this pipeline was not going away. Today President Obama reversed the Administration's earlier rejection of the pipeline and approved the construction of the southern section of the controversial line and indicated when the final route is submitted it may be approved. There is still a way to fast track approval and get Obama off the hook before the election and that is to give the Pipeline conditional approval pending submission of the remaining items.

World Affairs

Russia has now sent their version of Green Berets to Syria and the few who have noticed it have no clue what is going to happen. Not long ago I wrote that Putin was the key to bringing an end to potential war in the Middle East in Syria and Iranand that I expected Chinato lean on them as well in order to defuse the crisis.

I believe these elite troops are not in Syriato protect the President but to stop the President from further violence against the people. It was my view that once Putin was re-elected on March 4 and the election certified so much as possible, he could become the international peacemaker and steal the favorable ratings from Sarkozy, Obama or other international figures.

At the same time there is evidence Russia and China under President Hu Jintao are leaning on Iranto cooperate with nuclear inspections and for North Korea to negotiate a nuclear arrangement with the west. If they are successful they will rapidly elevate Russia and China in world opinion which some people in the US will consider a threat.

Where I come from you encourage people to negotiate peace whether you agree with them or not in other matters. Foreign policy has gotten so crazy that the State Department must revise the enemies list every week or two.

Today is the Illinois primary, the state where four former governors are retired in jail. That is about all I have to say about it.

One wonders how Newt is going to be the conservative savior when he spends so much time visiting historic sites and not campaigning.

Romney will win.

Federal Budget

Paul Ryan of Wisconsin should get an award as the bravest person in congress as he released his second annual federal budget and long term economic recovery plan. No other member of congress has put his career and reputation on the line proposing ways to save America from debt and deficits.  No Democrat or Republican.

It took about three seconds for Democrats to denounce the budget as Satan's offspring without looking at it or having any intention of telling the truth about it. The President presents an annual budget that never gets approved by congress and the Senate has not approved a budget for about three years.

Ryan offers tax cuts, tax adjustments, tax reform, entitlement reform, and contrary to his critics, he has no intention of destroying senior medical protection programs like Medicare and Medicaid.

To those trashing the Ryan budget, where is your alternative???
