Starving North Korean Army On Verge Of Revolt: Hungry Soldier Killed Colleague With Ax, Ate Flesh And Sold Rest (Video)
Friday, March 29, 2013 15:35
Kim is desperate. His country is crumbling around him; his soldiers are eating each other; spring floods have destroyed most of his food crops and war is the only money maker he has.
The situation is a slow moving nightmare which reportedly began in 2011, when the situation was so bad, government functionaries were blackmailing food vendors and farmers for rice to feed the army. the situation has gotten progressively worse since then.
This year, summer floods have devastated the food crops. Over 400,000 children are severely malnourished. Others have simply faded away and starved to death.
North Koreans have been smuggling video out of the country. One shows a Communist Party official demanding rice from a market vendor. Another shows a starving girl, who is looking for grass to eat. The once powerful north Korean Army was once immune to food shortages. The leaders fed the army first, which makes sense: no dictatorship can afford to have a starving army. That's a good way to get deposed and shot.
Unfortunately, right now, there isn't enough food to keep the military wolf off his back. Which brings us to this current threat level. The North's leaders are playing an old game: threaten to shoot missiles at South Korea, threaten American military interests in the Pacific reagion, and wait for Uncle Same to send food. But this time, Kim may be more desperate than his father ever was.
His army is starving. Some of the military are resortiing to cannibalism. At least one soldier killed a comrade, ate some of the flesh and tried to sell the rest. Government food handouts have been small or non-existent for 2 years. Half of the army is malnurourished.
Smuggled footage of the hermit nation reveals food shortages, government blackmail of food vendors and farmers, and drastically reduced food rations. Kim;s back is up against the wall. He could start a war simply to reduce his population and give the army an enemy to focus on.
Some of the footage comes from desperate North Koreans who smuggle the information out. The fooftage below shows the escalation of the crisis, where communist functionaries are now extorting grain from market vendors.

In the footage, a party official is demanding a stallholder make a donation of rice to the army.
"My business is not good," complains the stallholder.
"Shut up," replies the official. "Don't offer excuses."
It is clear that the all-powerful army - once quarantined from food shortages and famine - is starting to go hungry.
"Everybody is weak," says one young North Korean soldier."Within my troop of 100 comrades, half of them are malnourished," he said. MOREHERE

In one account, a male guard who could not bear his hunger killed his colleague using an ax, ate some of the human flesh and sold the remainder in the market by disguising it as mutton, the report said, without giving any further details such as when the alleged crime occurred.
JUNE 2011
North Korea has drastically cut public food handouts as it heads towards a new hunger crisis with people again eating grass to survive, one of the most experienced aid workers in the isolated nation said.There are some secret political dissidents in North Korea who secretly film what's REALLY going on in North Korea (such as starvation and public executions) and then smuggle it out of the country to be broadcasted. This is one of the videos, apparently of a starving girl looking for grass to eat.
Food rations have been cut to as low as 150 grammes (5.3 ounces) a day per person in some parts of the country as foreign donations collapse and higher international prices make imports more expensive, said Katharina Zellweger, head of a Swiss government aid office in Pyongyang. SOURCE

Shoulder Fired Nukes? Bet You Didn’t See This One Coming

Nuclear Attack Survival Guide
If America suffers a terrorist strike with a WMD expect nuclear fallout and you better know how to survive it. Low yield nukes, shoulder fired missiles, missile guidance systems -- Surprising ways terrorists can strike us and what we can do to escape with our lives.by Mark Lawrence, Copyright © SecretsofSurvival.com. All rights reserved.
When a nuclear weapon detonates, dust and ash from the explosion and shockwave are propelled into the upper atmosphere, carrying high levels of radiation. As it falls from the sky it becomes "Black Rain" or more commonly known as Nuclear Fallout.
When the S-H-I-T Hits the Fan ("SHTF" for short, a common buzzword nowadays to describe America falling into chaos following a catastrophic disaster like a nuclear terrorist attack), all Hell is Going to Break Loose -- a buzz phrase making it's own rounds.
Radioactive dust from both a dirty bomb and nuclear weapon is dangerous to life on earth, including humans. High doses can kill, lower doses can result in internal injuries and cancers. Think of this nuclear fallout as poison -- poison from the sky, ground, vegetation and other objects in your environment. Everything that comes in contact with radiation becomes toxic to life -- and can remain toxic for several years.
As it makes it's way through the ground soil and into aquifers these can now be contaminated for several years, wrecking havoc on the local ecosystem.
Nuclear fallout isn't limited to the detonation of a nuclear weapon or meltdown of a nuclear power plant -- it also results from the detonation of a "dirty bomb".
A dirty bomb is an explosive device packed with radioactive material; when it explodes, it propels radioactive dust across an area. The bigger the bomb and the more radioactive material used in the bomb, the worse it becomes for people in the area.

Dangers of Radioactive Dust from a Nuclear Terrorist Strike
When radioactive dust hits the earth it lands everywhere: Forests, fields, crops, lakes, rivers, reservoirs and even aquifers (underground lakes and rivers that supply drinking water to cities and towns and sometimes entire regions).As it makes it's way through the ground soil and into aquifers these can now be contaminated for several years, wrecking havoc on the local ecosystem.

A dirty bomb is an explosive device packed with radioactive material; when it explodes, it propels radioactive dust across an area. The bigger the bomb and the more radioactive material used in the bomb, the worse it becomes for people in the area.
What's alarming about dirty bombs is that they're relatively easy to make. The fact that we haven't seen any detonated yet in America (at the time of this writing) is a miracle.
But that time may be quickly heading our way.
Terrorists could shut down Wall Street indefinitely with just one dirty bomb. That's one reason why New York City has added several thousand radiation detectors throughout the city. It's not a perfect system though and we can be certain that a motivated terrorist organization will do anything it can to find a way to strike.
How easy would it be for terrorists to get their hands on shoulder fired missiles? Consider that Russia sold 1800 shoulder fired missiles to Venezuela, as reported in this 2010 article: Washington Post: Venezuela acquires 1,800 antiaircraft missiles from Russia
That's just one instance. Arms sales between Russia and Iran and Venezeula are common place. Why should Americans be alarmed by this? Because Iran is deeply entrenched in Venezuela, with regular flights between Iran and Venezuela. Iran we already know is suspected to be connected to 80% of the terrorist activity in the world. Cartels move drugs, people and weapons -- we can bet they can also move shoulder fired missiles.
With shoulder fired missiles, terrorists have the means to deliver multiple strikes on key cities -- even from several miles away.
Local military bases where troops would be dispatched should we suffer attacks on the homeland could be wiped out by low-yield nuclear weapons, before the alarm was even sounded that we were under attack.
But that time may be quickly heading our way.
Dirty Bombs Will Turn Shopping Areas and Financial Districts into Ghost Towns
A dirty bomb detonated in a major city can turn several buildings and streets into ghost towns. People simply won't be able to return to work, or to shop, or even their homes downtown, for quite some time, possibly several years, due to contamination by dangerously high levels of radiation.Terrorists could shut down Wall Street indefinitely with just one dirty bomb. That's one reason why New York City has added several thousand radiation detectors throughout the city. It's not a perfect system though and we can be certain that a motivated terrorist organization will do anything it can to find a way to strike.
Shoulder Fired Missiles, Iran Covert Ops
In this scenario terrorists are likely to use a shoulder fired missile. Current advances in technology may even turn a shoulder fired missile into a missile-guided system; this means that a shoulder fired missile could be launched from several miles away and simply "guided" by remote control to the heart of Wall Street. Terrorists already have a history of using shoulder fired missiles (to launch attacks in the Middle East, including Israel). To date a chief fear is that in America they'll use these to take down commercial planes.How easy would it be for terrorists to get their hands on shoulder fired missiles? Consider that Russia sold 1800 shoulder fired missiles to Venezuela, as reported in this 2010 article: Washington Post: Venezuela acquires 1,800 antiaircraft missiles from Russia

Cartels move drugs, people and weapons -- we can bet they can also move shoulder fired missiles.
Shoulder Fired Missiles and Dirty Bombs
Nowadays we don't just have to worry about shoulder fired missiles -- add to this dirty bombs -- or even the means to deliver a low-yield nuclear weapon on a shoulder fired missile.We're Giving Terrorists Lots of Time
No matter how you look at it, the longer terrorists and governments have to plot attacks, the more severe and on-target these attacks are likely to be.With shoulder fired missiles, terrorists have the means to deliver multiple strikes on key cities -- even from several miles away.
Local military bases where troops would be dispatched should we suffer attacks on the homeland could be wiped out by low-yield nuclear weapons, before the alarm was even sounded that we were under attack.
Terrorists Target Wall Street with Dirty Bombs
Terrorists could easily rain down multiple dirty bombs on Wall Street from the sky -- or simply from an office space (or office spaces) that had been rented several months before. Others might fire these missiles from small airplanes, a few miles from a city. A missile-guidance system and even a "beacon" planted by terrorists in the middle of a downtown area could ensure that any fired missile (that was guided remotely) hits it's intended target.What Happens When a Dirty Bomb Detonates?
What will happen when these bombs hit? They don't have to be very big -- the job of a dirty bomb is to disperse radiation. The most effective dirty bombs may be those that are detonated in the air, over a populated area, rather than down on the ground.http://www.businessinsider.com/opnorthkorea-hits-websites-2013-3
North Korean State Websites Appear To Be Down After Cyber Attacks
A Twitter account called Anonymous_Korea claims that the attack took down five of North Korea's official websites, though one later came back:
At the time of writing Business Insider found all sites were down except for Uriminzokkiri.com, a North Korean state news website.
North Korea Tech reports that the attack began a few hours after the North said it was "at war" with the south.
North Korea's official news service, KNCA.kp, appears to still be up, and does not contain any mention of the attacks. The New York Times says that North Korean officials have not mentioned the attacks at present.
Earlier this month North Korea accused the United States and South Korea of carrying out a "persistent and intensive" cyber attack against its official websites. However, the country is believed to train officers for cyber warefare itself, and is widely believed to have been behind recent attacks on South Korean computer networks.

North Korea enters a ‘state of war’ with its neighboring South
Al Arabiya with Agencies -
North Korea declared a “state of war” with its neighboring North on Saturday, and warned both Washington and Seoul to not stir the conflict further as it will result into a nuclear war.
The White House said it took the announcement “seriously” and labeled the threat as “nonconstructive”, while South Korea largely dismissed it as an old threat dressed in new clothing.
“North Korea has a long history of bellicose rhetoric and threats and today’s announcement follows that familiar pattern,” said National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden.
In Seoul, the Unification Ministry insisted the war threat was “not really new” and the Defense Ministry added that no notable troop movement had been observed along the border.
It was the latest in a string of dire-sounding pronouncements from Pyongyang that have been matched by tough warnings from Seoul and Washington, fuelling international concern that the situation might spiral out of control.

It was the latest in a string of dire-sounding pronouncements from Pyongyang that have been matched by tough warnings from Seoul and Washington, fuelling international concern that the situation might spiral out of control.
The two Koreas have been technically in a state of war for six decades under an armistice that ended their 1950-53conflict. Despite its threats few people see any indication Pyongyang will risk a near-certain defeat by re-starting full-scale war.
“As of now, inter-Korea relations enter a state of war and all matters between the two Koreas will be handled according to wartime protocol,” the North said in a government statement carried by the Korean Central News Agency.
“The long-standing situation of the Korean peninsula being neither at peace nor at war is finally over,” the statement said, adding that any U.S. or South Korean provocation would trigger a “full-scale conflict and a nuclear war.”
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un on Friday signed off on an order putting its missile units on standby to attack U.S. military bases in the South and the Pacific, after the United States flew two nuclear-capable stealth bombers over the Korean peninsula in a rare show of force.
Earlier this month, North Korea also said that it was ripping up the armistice and other bilateral peace pacts signed with Seoul in protest against South Korea-U.S. joint military exercises.
Voiding the ceasefire theoretically opened the way to a resumption of hostilities, although the armistice was approved by the U.N. General Assembly, and both the U.N. and South Korea repudiated the North’s unilateral withdrawal.

Experts: US ‘Hard Line’ on North Korea Could Lead to Attacks on South
Threats to US Overstated, But Escalation Could Cost Seoul
by Jason Ditz, March 29, 2013
With North Korea not having the warheads or missiles to actually launch such an attack, threats to nuke the US mainland have mostly been shrugged off by the Obama Administration, with officials reacting with a hard line against “provocations.”
North Korea’s inability to hit the US directly may be all well and good, but experts are warning that as the rhetoric continues to ratchet up, the US may force North Korea to react by hitting South Korean targets, since they very easily could do that.
South Korean government officials thrive on this exchange of threats, and seem to be egging the US on in this, including getting them to sign a deal obliging the US to start a war over any attacks by North Korea.
The North Korean government’s own position, however, has always relied on making mostly empty threats and occasionally lashing out at South Korea if things get too heated, which inevitably gets other regional powers interested enough to cool things off.
Yet with those threats hitting a new all-time high, and the new pact suggesting things could escalate a lot more, a lot faster, the violent blow-off could also be a lot worse, and the US hard line could cost South Korea dearly.

North Korea cuts off last communication with South: ‘a simmering nuclear war is now underway’
March 28, 2013 – NORTH KOREA – Reclusive North Korea is to cut the last channel of communications with the South because war could break out at “any moment,” it said on Wednesday, days of after warning the United States and South Korea of nuclear attack. The move is the latest in a series of bellicose threats from North Korea in response to new U.N. sanctions imposed after its third nuclear test in February and to “hostile” military drills under way joining the United States and South Korea. The North has already stopped responding to calls on the hotline to the U.S. military that supervises the heavily armed Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) and the Red Cross line that has been used by the governments of both sides. “Under the situation where a war may break out at any moment, there is no need to keep north-south military communications which were laid between the militaries of both sides,” the North’s KCNA news agency quoted a military spokesman as saying. “There do not exist any dialogue channel and communications means between the DPRK and the U.S. and between the north and the south.” The Pentagon condemned the latest escalation in North Korean rhetoric, with spokesman George Little calling Pyongyang’s declaration “yet another provocative and unconstructive step.” The U.S. military announced on March 15 it was bolstering missile defenses in response to threats from the North, including a threat to conduct a preemptive nuclear strike against the United States. Despite the shrill rhetoric, few believe North Korea, formally known as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), will risk starting a full-out war. North and South Korea are still technically at war anyway after their 1950-53 civil conflict ended with an armistice, not a treaty, which the North says it has since torn to pieces. The “dialogue channel” is used on a daily basis to process South Koreans who work in the Kaesong industrial project where 123 South Korean firms employ more than 50,000 North Koreans to make household goods. About 120 South Koreans are stationed at Kaesong at any one time on average. It is the last remaining joint project in operation between the two Koreas after South Korea cut off most aid and trade in response to Pyongyang’s shooting of a South Korean tourist and the sinking of a South Korean naval vessel blamed on the North. Kaesong is one of North Korea’s few hard currency earners, producing $2 billion a year in trade with the South, and Pyongyang is unlikely to close it except as a last resort. –Yahoo News
Stealth bombers sent overnight to S. Korea: The American military made a rare announcement that two nuclear-capable B-2 stealth bombers ran a practice bombing sortie over South Korea on Thursday, underscoring Washington’s commitment to defend its ally amid rising tensions with North Korea. The two B-2 Spirit bombers made a nonstop round trip from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, demonstrating the United States’ ability to “provide extended deterrence to our allies in the Asia-Pacific region” and to “conduct long-range, precision
strikes quickly and at will,” the American command in the South Korean capital, Seoul, said in a statement. It was the first time the American military publicly confirmed a B-2 mission over the Korean Peninsula. As the bombers dropped inert munitions that they carried 6,500 miles over the Pacific to an island bombing range off South Korea’s west coast, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel conferred with his South Korean counterpart, Kim Kwan-jin, on the phone, reaffirming the United States’ “unwavering” commitment to defend the South. Both B-52 and B-2 can launch nuclear-armed cruise missiles. The Pentagon used their training sorties over the Korean Peninsula to highlight the role the long-distance strategic bombers play, as part of Washington’s “nuclear umbrella” over South Korea and Japan. In South Korea, North Korea’s successful launching of a three-stage rocket in December and its nuclear test last month were unsettling enough that several right-wing politicians began calling on their government to build nuclear arms. A news release from the South Korean Defense Ministry on Thursday said that the “extended deterrence” Mr. Hagel reaffirmed for South Korea included “nuclear umbrella” and “missile defense capabilities.” The allies also agreed to develop “customized” plans to deal with various types of threats posed by North Korea’s nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction, it said. North Korea has escalated its bellicose rhetoric since a Feb. 12 nuclear test. It threatened pre-emptive nuclear strikes against the United States and South Korea for conducting joint military drills and supporting United Nations sanctions against the North. In response, Washington has stood behind the new government of President Park Geun-hye, South Korea’s first female president, by running B-52 bomber sorties over South Korea earlier this month and publicizing them. It also signed an agreement last weekend to enhance consultation and coordination of the allies’ responses to North Korean provocations. Such coordination became all the more important with growing North Korean threats; under a mutual defense treaty, Washington is obliged to intervene should a local skirmish expand into a full-blown war. –NY Times

North Korea Rockets 'Ready To
Hit US Bases'
Kim Jong-Un reportedly tells generals to prepare for an attack on US bases after a show of force by American bombers.
State TV reports on a missile being launched during a drill on March 20
The North's threats have become more frequent
North Korea's leader has told rocket units to be on standby for an attack on US bases, according to state media.
The country's KCNA news agency said Kim Jong-Un had signed off on the order to train sights on American bases in South Korea and the Pacific after a midnight meeting with top generals.
It comes after two American stealth bombers flew over South Korea in a show of force to Pyongyang, following an escalation of rhetoric from the North's young leader.
The two nuclear-capable B-2 planes flew a 13,000-mile round trip from an air base in Missouri, dropping a dummy bomb on a target range in the South.
The planes were taking part in a joint South Korea-US military exercise that has inflamed tensions with Pyongyang, which earlier this month threatened to unleash an "all-out war" backed by nuclear weapons.
"This .... demonstrates the United States' ability to conduct long range, precision strikes quickly and at will," the US military said in a statement.
"The B-2 bomber is an important element of America's enduring and robust extended deterrence capability in the Asia-Pacific region."
KCNA reported that Mr Kim had "judged the time has come to settle accounts with the US imperialists in view of the prevailing situation".
The agency said: "He finally signed the plan on technical preparations of strategic rockets of the KPA, ordering them to be standby for fire so that they may strike any time the US mainland, its military bases in the operational theatres in the Pacific, including Hawaii and Guam, and those in South Korea."
The US has denied the exercise was provocative but said it was "committed to a pathway to peace" and "prepared to deal with any eventuality" in the region.
Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel and General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the B-2 bombers were a message intended more for allies than Pyongyang.
"The North Koreans have to understand that what they're doing is very dangerous," Mr Hagel said.
"I don't think we're doing anything extraordinary or provocative or out of the ... orbit of what nations do to protect their own interests."
The US, he added, must make it clear to South Korea, Japan and other allies in the region that "these provocations by the North are taken by us very seriously, and we'll respond to that".

US Sends Nuclear-Capable B-2 Stealth Bombers to Intimidate North Korea
The fighter jets dropped munitions on a nearby South Korean island, as Washington called it a 'drill'
by John Glaser, March 28, 2013
The Obama administration has sent nuclear-capable B-2 bombers to drop munitions on a South Korean island, in an unprecedented move intended to intimidate North Korea.
North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un has repeatedly issued threats of war to South Korea and belligerently criticized the US, despite the North’s comparatively pathetic military capabilities – a deficiency Washington is fully aware of.
The US called the dramatic show of force a joint military drill with South Korea, but it is transparently understood to be a direct threat to North Korea.
“The announcement will likely draw a strong response from Pyongyang,” reports The Associated Press. “North Korea sees the military drills as part of a U.S. plot to invade and becomes particularly upset about U.S. nuclear activities in the region.”
Nevertheless, the US continues to militarily antagonize the mercurial authoritarian government in Pyongyang.
“The United States stations 28,500 troops in South Korea,” political activists Kevin Zeese and Margaret Flowers wrote earlier this month. “In November 2012 the US upgraded its weapons systems and announced an agreement with Japan that would allow South Korea to bomb anywhere in North Korea.”
This aggressive approach has served only to increase instability and tensions.
“Wise statesmen learn to abandon obsolete or unworkable policies,” writes Ted Galen Carpenter, senior fellow for defense and foreign policy studies at the Cato Institute, and Obama “needs to show the same judgment and courage by making a sustained effort at the highest level to establish something at least resembling a normal relationship with Pyongyang.”
Not only is Washington’s confrontational militarism counter-productive, it’s also an extremely expensive way to unnecessarily intimidate a weak adversary.
According to the Center for Public Integrity, the B-2 stealth bombers cost $3 billion each and have flight costs estimated to be $135,000 per hour. At a minimum, writes John Hudson at Foreign Policy, that puts the cost of flying two of these bombers to Korea at $5.5 million.
