Korean War 2.0: Deescalate Now

Recent warnings of instability on the Korean peninsula by Russia’s foreign minister Sergey Lavrov come at a most appropriate time – and indeed, there is a frightening possibility that the situation could spin out of control. Since the North was heavily penalized by UN sanctions following its recent satellite launch and nuclear test, Pyongyang has embarked on a near-daily onslaught of belligerent threats, some of which include its invalidation of the 1953 armistice agreement that ended the Korean War, threats to nuke the United States, and threats to occupy South Korea and subsequently take all Americans in the country hostage. Military analysts claim that North Korea is at least several years from building a nuclear warhead or a missile capable of reaching the US mainland – but there is no doubt that if the Kim regime oversteps their approach, it could certainly have severe repercussions for civilians in South Korea and Japan, both in range of North Korea’s rockets.
Despite regular threats of destruction and Pyongyang’s recent proclamation that the two Korean states are officially in a state of war, day-to-day life has retained its normality according to sources on the ground. Needless to say, there is no doubt that civilians on both sides are feeling tense in the current scenario, especially those on disputed South Korean islands in the West sea, just a stones throw away from the North Korean maritime border. The four thousands residents of the South’s Baengnyeong Island, which Kim Jong-un personally threatened to “wipe out” in early March, have been severely hindered from carrying out their day-to-day activities such as fishing due to the joint US-ROK military exercises in the area. Despite inter-Korean relations reaching their lowest point in recent times with the entire South on high alert, most South Koreans are adept at brushing off the North’s rhetoric, but they’re still proceeding with caution.Nile Bowie:
In addition to joint US-ROK’s endless barrage of war games on North Korea’s doorstep, the brandishing of B-2 bombers, which carry bombs that can blast through 70 meters of reinforced concrete, is an unnecessary stunt that is both bold and needlessly provocative. In fact, the B-2 flyover helps Kim Jong-un in consolidating his political power at home by rallying domestic support behind the US threat and distracting North Koreans from economic problems. These moves beg the question, is the United States prepared to launch a full-scale war against North Korea? Despite the high public disapproval of overt warfare campaigns launched by the Bush administration, the unholy status North Korea enjoys in American mainstream media – coupled with its threats to nuke the United States and the simple fact that is it a communist state – is likely enough to coax the average American into supporting a war of aggression against Pyongyang.

County Commission Deadlocks, 4-4, on Opposing NDAA
P.A.N.D.A. People Against The NDAA
March 26, 2013
Little by little, the 2012 NDAA is sneaking into the mainstream media. Battle after battle is being waged across the country to combat this ridiculous law.
Two weeks ago, in Lenawee County, MI, the County Commission deadlocked 4-4 on passing anti-NDAA legislation. Although 4 commissioners, including Commissioner Cletus Smith, voted in favor of liberty, several others demonstrated complete ignorance of the issue at hand.
What were some of the assumptions made by these Commissioners, who voted against the rights of the people?
Commissioner Chris Wittenbach:
“It’s not going to have much impact one way or another,”
Although this legislation won’t jump off the page and stand between a military officer and a suspect, it does provide a deterrent to enforcing the NDAA and its detention power in Lenawee County. Much like the Bill of Rights does not keep our rights from being violated, but it does provide a deterrent, and a foundation to preserve them.
Commissioner David Stimpson:
“I absolutely don’t want to comment on this. It’s absolutely ridiculous for us to discuss this”
He’s right. It is entirely ridiculous for anyone to be discussing the indefinite military imprisonment, execution, or torture of anyone without charge or trial in America. It’s like a bad dream to be talking about America like she’s turning into Stalin’s Russia…yet we are.
Ridiculous situations call for appropriate responses. It’s ridiculous for us to be talking about this, but since we have been forced to, we must respond to protect the rights of the people.
Stimpson again:
“Stimpson said federal courts have already upheld the constitutionality of the National Defense Authorization Act. Voting to oppose the law would violate commissioners’ oaths to uphold the law, he said.”
Firstly, although Federal Courts have upheld the Constitutionality of previous NDAA’s, the 2012 NDAA has been declared unConstitutional by the 4th District Court and Judge Katherine B. Forrest.
Secondly, the Commissioner’s oath is not to uphold the law. It is to uphold the Constitution. The Michigan Oath of Office reads as follows:
“I don’t want to support anything that’s opposed to a constitutional rule”
Assad asks BRICS ‘to intervene’ in Syria crisis – aide

Syria’s President Bashar Assad has pleaded for BRICS countries to mediate the on-going conflict in the country, according to a close adviser.
“Today I passed a message from President Bashar al-Assad to President Jacob Zuma, who will preside over the March 26 BRICS summit, on the subject of the situation in Syria,” senior adviser Bouthaina Shaaban told AFP.
“In this message, President Bashar al-Assad asks for intervention by the BRICS to stop the violence in his country and encourage the opening of a dialogue, which he wishes to start.”
BRICS is a bloc of up-and-coming economies comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.
Shaaban has been conducting a tour of the five countries ahead of the summit in Durban.
While the five countries vary in their sympathies for the Assad regime, all of them have repeatedly professed a neutral stance on the conflict, and have regularly voted against stricter resolutions against the current Syrian government.
The rebellion against President Assad began two years ago, and the death toll may have exceeded 60,000 according to the UN.

Police In Small Nova Scotia Town Receive Tank From DND

Canadian Awareness Network
March 27, 2013
With a population of 9,562 (2011 census) the town of New Glasgow, Nova Scotia is truly a picturesque eastern Canadian township. A quaint looking town, with a beautiful river running through the middle of it, surrounded by beautiful countrysides, and a long and rich history. Definitely not a place that one would look at and say “WOW” the crime rates must be crazy there!
Apparently the New Glasgow police and the department of national defense do not see it that way.
New Glasgow police force gets armoured vehicle

“the New Glasgow Police Service is the province’s first force to get its hands on an armoured military vehicle.
Defence Minister Peter MacKay, the Central Nova MP, dropped off the Cougar Light Armoured Vehicle, stripped of its weaponry, on the weekend.
“It may never be used, but if it’s needed, we will have the capability,” said Const. Ken Macdonald, spokesman for the police service, on Monday.
“It will be employed with our emergency response team. Its main purpose will be as a defensive tool, in case we need to go into a hostile situation to rescue fellow officers or victims.”
According to the Canadian American Strategic Review, Canada took delivery of its first Cougar in 1977. The six-wheeled vehicles, boasting a turret capable of firing high-explosive shells, saw service on Canadian peacekeeping missions to Somalia and the Balkans. The vehicles are no longer in active service with the military.”

Here is a photo of the vehicle the New Glasgow police received.
In comparison here is the tank in military service.
What business does a police force have using a military tank? Especially when it is such a small town? They don’t! When I see stories like this one, it just makes me wonder how far down the (police state) rabbit hole this country is going to fall. Before people start to actually realize what is happening around them.
