Russian Defense reports circulating in the Kremlin this evening are warning that that the United States has ordered 3 of its aircraft carrier battle groups
belonging to its Northern Pacific Third Fleet Naval forces to “COCKED PISTOL” alert status over growing war fears originating on the Korean Peninsula.

The “COCKED PISTOL” alert status used by the US Defense Department, these reports state, is the “exercise” term that coincides with the Americans Defense Condition (DEFCON) 1 which puts their forces on “maximum readiness” and is reserved for an imminent or ongoing attack on US armed forces or US territory by a foreign military power.

Raising the fears of the Americans, these reports continue, was South Korean Lee Myung-bak calling for an emergency meeting of all of his military commanders, and which we can read as confirmed by South Korea’s JoongAng Daily News Service:

“For the first time in the 62-year history of Korea’s military, a p...

About 150 commanders from the Army, Navy and Air Force will attend ...

Important to note about these events is that by President Lee’s action in calling this unprecedented meeting it is the first time since the Korean War stalemate began in 1953 that South Korea has begun military operations outside of the UN-US Forces Command, and which according to the International laws of war they are able to do as unlike the United States, and the other UN Forces involved in this conflict, the South Koreans refused to sign the armistice allowing them free reign to begin retaliatory attacks against the North should they choose this course of action.

President Lee, these reports continue, is described as being “livid” over what he believes has been China’s betrayal after his meeting with Chinese Communist leader Hu Jintao two days ago where he had received “assurances” they would “contain” their North Korean ally only to have the Communists receive North Korea’s enigmatic dictator Kim Jong-Il [photo 3^rd left] earlier today on a state visit.

To the North Korean actions precipitating this crisis we had previously written about in our March 28^th report “Obama Orders ‘Immediate Stand-down’ After Deadly North Korean Attack” and May 1^st report “US Orders Blackout Over North Korean Torpedoing Of Gulf Of Mexico O...” wherein we detailed North Korea’s deadly attacks upon the South Korean warship Cheonan and the sinking of the South Korean industrial giant Hyundai Heavy Industries $1 Billion
oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico operated by the World’s largest offshore
drilling contractor Transocean under contract to British Petroleum (BP).

Though not being reported by American propaganda media organs, North Korea’s destruction of Hyundai’s Deepwater Horizon oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico puts all liability for the catastrophic damages now occurring squarely upon the South Korean economy as with all oil exploration projects of this magnitude,
especially in hurricane/cyclone zones, no insurer, or re-insurer, in the World is able to insure them and which leaves this mammoth financial burden to fall upon those industrial Nations able to afford to do so, like South Korea.

Unfortunately for South Korea, and as the Deepwater was attack and sunk in American territorial waters, US President Obama has refused to call it an “act of war”, which he should have done to negate any liability for the catastrophic damage now occurring falling upon BP, Transocean or Hyundai, all of whom are ultimately ‘self insured’ by the South Korean people.

Interesting to note in these reports are Russian Military Analysts stating that China’s Communist leaders may, in fact, be encouraging open warfare on the Korean Peninsula as a “deliberate move” to further accelerate the economic (and by extension infrastructure) destruction of both South Korea and the United States which would then “catapult” China to forefront of Global economic and industrial power.

Bolstering this view is the growing fear in China of an open trade war with the United States which China’s commerce minister Chen Deming had already warned the Americans “will suffer the most”. Credit Suisse Group AG economist Dong Tao has further warned that China is closer to a trade war with the US than any time in the last five years.

The Americans having failed to listen to China’s growing trade war concerns they were met earlier today on this “eve of war” with one of the most scathing editorials appearing in China’s Communist governments official Xinhuanet News Service titled “Going toe to toe with the bully” and which, in part, says:

“Recently, the United States postponed its expected branding of Chi...

Therefore, the US too needs to look inward. It has to rein in those special interest groups; it has to reform its tax system to encourage instead
of discourage savings; it has to rationalize its Social Security and
Medicare systems, which also discourage personal savings. Finally, it
has to stop bashing and bullying successful international competitors.
The world is catching on. After Japan and China, who will be next?
India? Enough is enough.”

Unfortunately for the American people the dire truth of these things is, and as always, being kept from them by their media and political elite classes who fear the revolt of their people should the reality of
what has been done to them is ever discovered.

The same cannot be said, however, about one of America’s longest and most powerful allies Taiwan, whose President, in seeing the “clouds of war” gathering, once again, over Asia, announced this morning that his Nation “will never ask the United States to help fight a war”, and which really means, “don’t ask us to help you fight your wars either.”

During the last century when our World, like today, stood on the brink of war amidst a shattered Global economy, perhaps the wisest man alive, Albert Einstein, uttered these words:

“He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earn...

Sadly for our World today, hardly anyone alive remembers this..
