`North Korean commander who led Cheonan-Yeonpyeong attacks fired`

Kim Kyuk Sik, the belligerent North Korean general who was purportedly behind last year`s attacks on the South Korean naval vessel Cheonan and Yeonpyeong Island, has reportedly been fired. This is one of those "signals" provided to Western intelligence to help us "rationalize" what comes next, i.e., Moscow and Beijing's long-planned "Korean diversion" at the beginning of World War Three. Meanwhile there's rumors of a coup in North Korea and of Chinese military intervention into its Stalinist neighbor.

`NK commander who led Cheonan-Yeonpyeong attacks fired`

DECEMBER 27, 2011 07:21

Kim Kyuk Sik (photo), commander of the 4th Corps of the Chosun People`s army, appears to have been fired, sources said Monday. He is known to be one of those who initiated last year`s attacks on the South Korean naval vessel Cheonan and Yeonpyeong Island.

A source said, “Kim must have been dismissed given all of the circumstances up to now." Another source said, “It seems that Kim has not yet been promoted at least."

Kim was not on the list of the funeral committee for Kim Jong Il announced Monday last week and has not yet visited the funeral site. South Korean intelligence, however, says the commander`s dismissal is not a soft approach gesture that North Korea wants to show to South Korea.

In February 2009, Kim Kyuk Sik was appointed commander of the corps governing Hwanghae Province and the Northern Limit Line in the Yellow Sea after serving as a chief of staff of the North Korean (Chosun) People`s Army. After the replacement of the corps commander last month, many rumors were milled over whether he was demoted or promoted to new supreme leader Kim Jong Un`s military adviser.

In the meantime, the official Workers` Party daily Rodong Shinmun said, "All party entities across the country support our great compatriot Kim Jong Un`s ideology and leadership. Let us safeguard the party`s central committee led by our respectful Kim Jong Un."

North Korean media covered stories on support for Kim Jong Un as head of the central committee and top military commander Sunday.

In North Korea, the leader is supposed to lead the people through the party. The succession will be complete only if Kim Jong Un becomes leader or general secretary of the party.

Yang Moo-jin, a professor at the University of North Korean Studies in Seoul, said, "This implies that Pyongyang will move fast to end the power succession process. Kim Jong Un will be appointed the party`s general secretary at the general assembly of the party`s central committee in the foreseeable future."

"U.S. policy for dealing with the North Korean situation is inadequate because it focuses on North Korea in isolation as a rogue state, and naively seeks help from the Russians and Chinese to solve the problem. The North Korea situation and any future nuclear incident, wherever it occurs, must be seen against the background of Sino-Soviet 'convergence' strategy: the interaction of Russian and Chinese policy and the moves they make to derive strategic gains from critical situations should be closely studied."

North Korean Ambassador to China has gone missing

Watch the following video from a Sky News report from the 1 minute mark on:



North Korea's ambassador to China is purportedly missing and rumored to be in Pyongyang. Meanwhile, Chinese President Hu Jintao reportedly went to the North Korean embassy in Beijing to try to meet the ambassador. This all may be suggestive that a power struggle is currently underway in North Korea.

Keep in mind that much of this is staged for Western audiences, the question is what act is next. Given the total lunar eclipse that just passed, the world could be in for a major shock.

Dow 12K, Lunar Eclipse & Korea

In the wake of the 12/10 total lunar eclipse, the DJIA reversed from the psychologically important 12000 mark last week.

Now a historical shock may be taking the form of a Korean crisis as Kim Jong Il has reportedly died. The South Korean military has gone on high alert. The possible role of Kremlin Astrology should be kept in mind similar to my erroneous warnings around this time last year.

EXCLUSIVE! - Image of the Higgs Boson 'God particle' finally captured!

An image of the elusive Higgs Boson "God particle" has finally been captured by scientists at CERN and is here revealed:



Scientists are seeking to measure and understand the letters of the words of the sentences of the paragraphs of the chapters, etc., of the UNI-VERSE in which we dwell and grossly fail to comprehend THE ETERNAL MEANING OF WHAT THE AUTHOR'S WRITING. That's why Jesus was and is the WORD of God, and this is what matter's. The meaning is not in the "letters", i.e., the parts (particles). The meaning is in the space in between, i.e., in the unseen relationships between the parts (the experienced "qualia" not the measurable "quanta"). That's where you find "love", and the history of the universe is the unfolding of an eternal love story between the Creator and His creatures.

Do you "get it"?

If you can consider light being both a particle and a wave, then it also becomes reasonable to see how Jesus can be both a human and a God. Think about it. Jesus exhibits “human” properties like having a physical body, eating, drinking, and having emotions. On the other hand, He also has “God” properties like the power to resurrect people, controlling the weather, knowing future events, and healing. Like light, Jesus exhibits properties from His dual natures. You could say He is the true “God Particle” [Quantum Jesus]

War With Iran?

With the Elliott Wave pattern looking ominous with a total lunar eclipse approaching, it looks like war with Iran may be getting closer and may already be underway covertly:



I remain suspicious.

How was Iran able to capture a RQ-170 Sentinel drone? This is an incredible feat that seems way beyond Iran's capacity. Presuming the Islamic Republic had some Russian and/or Chinese assistance, the real issue that comes to mind is....was this a way of further pressuring Israel to strike Iran on its own, i.e., without U.S. support and knowledge? DEBKA offers some insightful analysis on this score:

The state of the lost UAV refutes the US military contention that the Sentinel's systems malfunctioned. If this had happened, it would have crashed and either been wrecked or damaged. The condition of the RQ-170 intact obliges the US and Israel to make major changes in plans for a potential strike against Iran's nuclear program.

The Obama administration's decision after internal debate not to send US commando or air units into Iran to retrieve or destroy the secret RQ-170 stealth drone which fell into Iranian hands has strengthened the hands of the Israeli faction which argues the case for striking Iran's nuclear installations without waiting for the Americans to make their move.

Senior Israeli diplomatic and security officials who followed the discussion in Washington concluded that, by failing to act, the administration has left Iran not only with the secrets of the Sentinel's stealth coating, its sensors and cameras, but also with the data stored in its computer cells on targets marked out by the US and/or Israeli for attack.

Bear in mind my opinion that Iran's nuclear program is really for provoking a fight with Israel more so than actually building the Bomb. After all, if Iran wanted to build a nuke, they could have acquired plenty of highly enriched uranium off the black market to work with. There's been no need for Tehran to pursue its brazenly public uranium enrichment program over the years except for the purpose of provocation.

Why is Iran provoking a fight with Israel? It's the same game Moscow and Beijing are playing. They know they're going to unleash a nuclear third world war that will devastate Western civilization and set the world back a century, but they want to do everything in their power to shape history in a manner such that "the Jews" and America are blamed for the coming cataclysm being planned.

Bob Prechter On Breakout

Robert Prechter offered some interesting commentary today on the state of, and outlook for, markets and the economy:

Note his remarks about how modern central banking makes matters 'different this time' than during the Great Depression in that the banks can manufacture more 'funding' to gamble than simply bank deposits, i.e., they can create credit on taxpayers' account to keep speculation going. This is a unique way of looking at what is going on, i.e., banksters "risk-on" greed that drives upswings reaches a limit in the amount of "bailouts" that can be placed in the name of future taxpayers. Once the burden is no longer popularly deemed tenable, as evidenced by drops in sovereign credit ratings, the colossal bubble of mass optimism implodes. It's about finding the maxima of collective human creative potential before "correcting" the trend.

This is where we stand.

BTW, for what it's worth, and that's most likely not much, we are now in a 'Puetz eclipse crash window' associated with the December 10th total lunar eclipse.



Market analyst Steve Puetz discovered:

"....a full moon in general and a lunar (eclipse) full moon close to solar eclipses, in particular, seem to be the triggering device that allows for the rapid transformation of investor psychology from manic greed to paranoia. He asks what the odds are that eight of the greatest market crashes in history would accidentally fall within a time period of six days before to three days after a full moon that occurred within six weeks of a solar eclipse? His answer is that for all eight crashes to accidentally fall within the required intervals would be .23 raised to the eighth power less than one chance in 127,000."

The vast majority of the time, Puetz eclipse crash windows prove irrelevant, but what can be said is major panics are unlikely to occur outside such occasions.

Of course, one should keep in mind that we may be nearing the Apocalypse Wave "Prechter Point" of maximum negative change in the context of Elliott Wave patterns:



If so, then the next break below the psychologically important 12000 mark on the DJIA could literally be apocalyptic in scope.



If chemical SCUDs start raining down on Israel, then you know what this means.

Hey....but who heeds me anyways...
