A Christmas tree is threatening to become the latest flashpoint between the two Koreas just a day after both sides stepped back from the brink of war.

South Korean marines have been deployed to protect a large Christmas tree on top of a military-controlled hill along the tense land border with the North.

A South Korean church is planning to switch on Christmas lights on the tree later today, the first such display in six years.

On Monday the South conducted a live-fire artillery drill on Yeonpyeong island, which was shelled last month by North Korea.

The North forswore retaliation despite previously vowing a deadly response to the South's drill.

But officials are now concerned the Christmas tree could become a target for attack.

"Marines are maintaining the highest level of alertness around the hill," a defence ministry spokesman said, citing the North's continued threats to strike border propaganda facilities.

The 155-metre hill, about three kilometres from the border, is within range of North Korean guns.

Seoul agreed to stop the annual illumination ceremony in 2004 after a deal was reached to halt cross-border propaganda.

The communist North had accused the South of displaying the Christmas lights in an effort to spread religion among its citizens and soldiers.


Unbelievable....

Unbelievable....

Unbelievable? Or absolutely predictable?

IMHO, it'll be news when East Korea attacks West Korea. Short of that, it's just the same-old same-olds.

Hey Zooks... yes totally predictable , i was saying unbelievable to the fact they are trying to use a Christmas tree to start a war!!

I find it ludicrous that some shadow powers want to get this war to kick off no matter what.

At the same time, I find it sad that most of the world continues to think North Korea is the "evil empire" that is hell bent on war, when it should be extremely OBVIOUS by now that it is South Korea's defacto government - The USA, that wants this war.

Or to be precise, the shadow government within the government of the USA that wants this war started, no matter what. The list of provocations is endless!

They must be desperate.

This Bill Richardson guy must have (privately) laid bare to the North Koreans the existence of this globalist shadow govt (within the United States govt) and perhaps told them not to play into their game. I wonder whose side he is on, but one thing we can be sure - the provocations are not going to stop.

Bill Richardson, the New Mexico minion? That guy is total skunk (my apologies to genetic skunks everywhere), just like North Korea's Kim Jong-Il. Both are working in the duty of TMastardsTB ... from opposite sides of the dividing wall ... in the dividing and conquering empire game.

We Are Change interviews the evasive Bill Richardson (or tries to) ... and Alex Jones does the rest:

For the North Korean tentacle of the British imperialist octopus - by now fully controlled by the banksters (led by the Rothschilds) - you'll have to dig deeper and research the Opium Wars that were part-in-parcel of the orchestrated ideological subversion of the Far East nation states. Although at that point in time, I'm not sure it was called ideological subversion. But a rose by any other name is still a rose (as Willy once wrote; as a billion times quoted).

Humble opinions all around.

I don't blame NK, Christmas is really a dumb money-spending festival that already brainwashes millions into doing stupid things.

I think some of you are forgetting North's track record in the past. They did not hesitate blowing up a passenger airplane out of the sky among many other atrocities. Are you forgetting that you are speaking about a dictatorship that is starving its own people while the elite few at the top live like royalty?

Would it be better if the South just kept sending them money like the previous two presidents under the "sunshine policy" so that they can actually build a nuclear bomb faster? Thanks to Kim and Roh, they have Nuclear capabilities now.

That Christmas tree was there for a very long time. Their lights were put out, again during the presidency of the two previous guys who were very pro North. That was the last 6 or 7 years. They are just lighting it again to send message to the North.

Dangling a carrot did nothing to change the bullies. So what other options are there to deal with a lunatic? Diplomacy? ah yes, but that only works when there is a leverage in the status quo.

I am well aware of the power tugs behind the scenes with the big guns.

Provocation? Would you call it a provocation when you defend your home and family against thugs who come knocking down on your door? Would it be a provocation to light up a christmas tree in your living room because your neighbor across the street is against it?

Trust me, if war happens, most people posting in this forum won't feel it as much as the people right here, and these people don't want war either. But they are tired of being yanked around by the goon up north too.

Peace~

I have no doubt SOMEONE wants to PROVOKE a war. Latest news is SK wants to hold another new live fire drill. I'm not pro North Korea or South Korea, BOTH are being manipulated into a PROXY WAR.

A useful mnemonic device here is to view NK as Globalist Banskter North and SK as Globalist Bankster South. So what we have here is GBN vs GBS on a Korean soccer pitch.

:typing:

ps: Each nation on the Good Earth will have to have its own revolution (peaceful or otherwise) to overthrow the banksters. Short of overthrowing the banksters, human future history is doomed for a renaissance and another recording of the dark ages. Humble opinions all around.

Sadly, where I'm from, a revolution seems like a distant prospect.

Not when you have a former leader who is a hardcore globalist, who is hailed as the "father of modern (insert country name)", and has never made it a secret his utmost admiration for "Globalism" which as we know, is just another byword for New World Order. :tape:
