What the most media is ignoring!
Okay, I only spent a few hours reading articles from all over the world before writing this, so excuse me if I missed something. But this is what made me go, "Hmmmm?"
American newspapers seem to be almost silent about a few key important stories. I don't know why the media doesn't seem to think that the N. Korean ship being tailed by an American navy ship is not news-worthy. I'm very suspicious of this ship and it's history of carrying weapons for sale. I did a search and the only current articles are written in Canadian, Japanese or Scottish papers.
"A North Korean-flagged ship under close watch in Asian waters is believed to be heading toward Myanmar carrying small arms cargo banned under a new U.N. resolution, a South Korean intelligence official said Monday.
Still, analysts say a high seas interception -- something North Korea has said it would consider an act of war -- is unlikely.
The Kang Nam, accused of engaging in illicit trade in the past, is the first vessel monitored under the new U.N. sanctions designed to punish the North for its defiant nuclear test last month. The U.S. military began tracking the ship after it left a North Korean port last week on suspicion it was carrying illicit weapons." (Hyung-Jin Kim

The N. Korean government continues to challenge us and all our great leader can do is make useless threats. I said, shortly after Obama was elected that he would be tested by a crisis and fail, resulting in losing American lives. I continue to pray that this catastrophe will not find the light of day, but I fear it will. Nothing that Obama threatens means a damn thing! Korea knows it. Russia knows it. Japan knows it. China knows it. Everyone knows it! He stands for rhetoric not action!
That leads me back to this interesting tale: (Sept. 2007) An innocent researcher, Ronen Solomon, who searches information online in the public domain for companies, found references on three different Web sites to a ship called Al Hamad carrying a N. Korean flag docking in Syria days before after the Israeli raid in Syria on September 6, 2007. What is significant about that, you ask? Well, on Sept. day in 2007, Israeli Defense Forces executed a bombing raid on Syria aimed at destroying a suspected bomb factory. Syria's air defenses managed to repel Israeli war planes, but not before the fighters destroyed what Israelis believed to be a nuclear cache. Hmmm, days after a N. Korean ship docks with suspected nuclear equipment?
So back to this Solomon guy's research. He finds references to this ship docking in Syria on the official sites of Syria's Tartous Port and the Egyptian Transportation Ministry. The following Saturday, the Washington Post published an article alleging that a shipment arrived in Syria three days before the Israel Air Forces strike and that the cargo for this ship was labeled as cement. Israel believed it carried nuclear equipment.
Solomon returned to the websites, and discovered that all records of the ship showing the North Korean flag had been deleted, and it was written that the ship's flag was now registered as 'unknown.' Hmmmm, interesting! How does this connect to the current N. Korean ship? I wonder!
According to the article written by Peter Foster in Beijing: "North Korea is preparing to launch a missile towards Hawaii. North Korea is reported to be making preparations to fire a ballistic missile towards the US state of Hawaii, possibly on US Independence Day. A separate report released by the International Crisis Group, a widely-respected independent think-tank, warned that North Korea also possesses large stockpiles of chemical weapons, including mustard gas, phosgene, blood agents and sarin." (also known by its NATO designation of GB, is an extremely toxic substance whose sole application is as a nerve agent. As a chemical weapon, it is classified as a weapon of mass destruction by the United Nations in UN.) Daniel Pinkston of the International Crisis Group said: "If there is an escalation of conflict and if military hostilities break out, there is a risk that they (nuclear weapons) could be used. In conventional terms, North Korea is weak and they feel they might have to resort to using those."
One other important, but ignored story: Italian authorities say they have arrested two Japanese men who were smuggling $134-billion (U.S.) of undeclared U.S. bonds into Switzerland. Police said the two suspects were carrying a total of 259 bonds, including 10 with a value of $1-billion each and 249 with a value of $500-million. Since then, it is sketchy but it seems that the Kennedy bonds were fake. However, the only way to make a fake bond is to have a real one to look at. Where did they get a billion-dollar bond and why would they be carrying 259 bonds? Who were they taking it to? What does this mean to the US? It is considered the largest smuggling case in history, yet barely a word has been written about it. I find that strange.
That is just a couple of stories that are being overlooked in favor of:
Obama steps up criticism on Iran.
Obama condemns Iran's Iron Fist
Obama to meet the Pope
Yada, yada, yada...blah, blah blah!
