"May 27, 2009
Provocation!
Once again, North Korea has sent missiles shooting out from its coastline as a warning to US and its allies not to detain or inspect North Korean ships. It is symbolic, phallicly, to giving the world "the finger".
In addition, North Korea said it will no longer abide by the 1953 truce agreement, so in effect, allowing itself to wage war at any time.
All of this, will ultimately lead to either an attack on North Korea to remove its nuclear facilities, and/ or, some political move within the country to eliminate its fearless leader.
No matter, all is a diversion from what is going on in the Middle East and in space."
