Anonymous warns world to ‘prepare’ for World War 3

http://nypost.com/2017/05/08/anonymous-warns-world-to-prepare-for-world-war-3/  [note: has autoplay video of the message]

Excerpt:

The infamous hacktivist group Anonymous has released a chilling new video — urging people across the globe to “prepare” for World War 3 — as the US and North Korea continue to move “strategic pieces into place” for battle.

“All the signs of a looming war on the Korean peninsula are surfacing,” the group says in the ominous six-minute clip, posted on YouTube over the weekend.

Using their signature Guy Fawkes character, the hackers make several claims about recent military movements in the region — and alleged warnings made by Japan and South Korea about imminent nuclear attacks from the North — as they deliver their frightening prophecy.

“Watching as each country moves strategic pieces into place,” the organization says, in its notorious robotic voice. “But unlike past world wars, although there will be ground troops, the battle is likely to be fierce, brutal and quick. It will also be globally devastating, both on environmental and economical levels.”

South Korea elected a anti-war pussy who will give money to NK.  Its not happening.  Would be interesting to have a war, but I doubt it would turn into ww3 with only north korea on one side.  That being said I hope it happens so we can remove NK as a threat.

Electromagnetic pulse attack on Hawaii would devastate the state

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/05/12/electromagnetic-pulse-attack-on-hawaii-would-devaste-state.html

Excerpts:

With North Korea developing its nuclear and intercontinental ballistic missile capabilities, Hawaii defense experts are concerned North Korea could target the 50th state with an EMP attack. Such an explosion, if executed high enough in the atmosphere, could be hundreds of miles from Hawaii and still damage its operations and communications.

“This is not theoretical. It has already happened,” said Clairmont, noting significant damage was done to both civilian and military electrical and communications systems.

“The No. 1 threat in the region continues to be North Korea, due to its reckless, irresponsible and destabilizing program of missile tests and pursuit of a nuclear weapons capability,” Benham said.

While some experts claim an EMP attack isn’t a likely concern, National Geographic notes a Congressional commission of scientific and military experts warned in 2004 that an EMP attack could cause a massive blackout and damage financial and power networks.

North Korea threat: US ‘monitoring’ claim missile could carry nuclear warhead

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/05/15/north-korea-threat-us-monitoring-claim-missile-could-carry-nuclear-warhead.html

"Aerospace expert John Schilling told Reuters the test “represents a level of performance never before seen from a North Korean missile.”

“It appears to have not only demonstrated an intermediate-range ballistic missile that might enable them to reliably strike the U.S. base at Guam,” Schilling said, “but more important, may represent a substantial advance to developing an intercontinental ballistic missile.”

I saw that on the news this past weekend, but it was when I was flipping through channels (my dad still has basic cable at his house) and unfortunately, the report was in Korean, so couldn't understand much more than what sounded like a serious report and the footage of the missile test which apparently went from NK's west coast to the sea to the east. 

It does seem like their capabilities are growing and they seem like they are testing more frequently.

Actually, the liquid fuel missiles can be made to fly the distance they need to hit mainland USA. But it is scarier if they are able to perfect the solid fuel missile they are working on.

Guam residents cast wary eye at North Korea after launch

Quote
HAGATNA, Guam — While most of the United States is still out of reach of a missile launched by North Korea, the U.S. territory of Guam, a key military hub in the Pacific, could be within range.

That realization, coming after a missile launch over the weekend, had residents of the island casting a wary eye amid rising nuclear tensions between Pyongyang and Washington. Some worried they might find war at their doorstep, while others say they are more concerned about the potential loss of vital tourism dollars than they are a nuclear attack.

“I think it is scary since North Korea is just insane, to echo the general consensus about North Korea,” said Farron Taijeron, a 29-year-old scuba instructor in Guam.

I do a lot of work in Guam.  Was there as recently at December and have daily correspondence with folks on-island.  It is a concern, sure.  Has been for a while.  Is it "the sky is falling" level?  Not that I can tell.

A further minor update that suggests that some officials are taking the possibility of an attack seriously...

HAWAII UPDATING NUCLEAR CONTINGENCY PLAN OVER NORTH KOREA FEARS, DOCUMENTS SHOW

https://www.infowars.com/hawaii-updating-nuclear-contingency-plan-over-north-korea-fears-documents-show/

Excerpts:

The Hawaii Department of Defense is in the process of updating its nuclear contingency plan amid escalating tensions between the United States and North Korea.

Documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) by Motherboard’s Sarah Emerson detail the steps being taken by the Hawaiian government to prepare for the unlikely event of a nuclear attack.

One such document, dated May 1st of this year, provides an overview of the “Plan of Action and Milestones (PoAM)” for a ballistic missile defense initiative.

“While the US military may have contingency plans for such an event from a military perspective, civilian agencies must also be prepared,” the document reads. “These civilian plans have not been updated since 1985 and the capabilities of shelters have declined steadily into non-existence since the end of the Cold War.”

Though conflicting reports paint different pictures of North Korea’s intentions and capabilities, the document argues that “hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst is the burden of our government.”

“If some experts are correct that North Korea does now have or soon will have the capability to reach the Hawaiian Island with an intercontinental ballistic missile with a nuclear (chemical or biological) warhead, it stands to reason that the government of North Korea would pose an imminent threat to the people of Hawaii.”

A third document, produced by the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency, breaks down numerous aspects of the “Ballistic Missile Hazard.”

Another recent document, concerning legislation seeking funds for contingency upgrades, labels Hawaii a “strategic and symbolic target” given the United States Pacific Command’s (USPACOM) presence in Pearl Harbor — the site of the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service’s surprise attack on U.S. Naval forces in 1941.

They reference the Hawaiian government. What exactly is that?

The problem is the flight time is roughly 20 minutes depending on the missile, trajectory and flight path, so there is not too much time to prepare in that regard on the civilian side. Any type of initiative to protect the civilian population from a biological, chemical of nuclear attack will cost a great deal...likely passed off to the tax payer, and obviously the whole population cannot be protected.

However, from a military perspective, the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) for such an event is robust, redundant, and consists of multiple capabilities to defend all three phases of the BM flight path, plus it involves other allied nations and their capabilities. So the likelihood of a missile launched from North Korea actually striking Hawaii is slim to none. They can easily make the Aegis Ashore RDT&E asset at PMRF operational, which would give them an additional capability...similar to an Aegis BMD capable platform (SM-3 and SM-6 capability). A modified THAAD system has already been deployed to South Korea.

With Trump in office, a nuclear attack on Hawaii would be the equivalent of suicide by Cop.

I'm 99.999999% sure Clinton would not nuke them.  She couldn't even stay awake while our Libyan consulate was under attack.  None of those murderers have ever been brought to justice.

i'll save you guys a step:

cuck
Term of denigration used by single, white males proscribing to an "alt-right" worldview which is predictably skewed from living in their parent's basement. Fueled by a romantic fantasy that if they were able to begin a relationship with a female, their misogynistic behavior and racist values would be found to be so exciting by their partner that infidelity could not occur. This logical fallacy is fueled by an over-consumption of sadomasochistic & interracial pornography when not trolling comment sections of websites.
