(IBD) North Korea Targets U.S. With Nuclear Death via EMP In New Tests of Missile Warhead

North Korea: After successfully testing a missile capable of launching a satellite, Pyongyang works toward a nuclear warhead small enough for it to carry an electro-magnetic-pulse weapon of our worst nightmares.

When North Korea orbited a failed satellite in December aboard an Unha-3 long-range missile, it was treated in some quarters as a stunt of no real significance or threat. The last Stalinist regime on earth had no deliverable warhead small enough to place on this missile which itself had no great accuracy.

Serious observers, however, noted that any nation capable of putting an object in orbit could deliver an object to any point on the plant, and the ability of North Korea to develop a missile warhead would be a question of when, not if.

The announcement by Pyongyang that it is readying a third round of nuclear tests and that a "nuclear test of a higher level" would be carried out, most likely refers to a device made from highly enriched uranium, which is easier to miniaturize than the plutonium bombs it tested in 2006 and 2009, said Cheong Seong-chang, an analyst at the private Sejong Institute in South Korea.

Stanford University professor Siegfried Hecker, who was shown the North's modern uranium enrichment facility during a visit to the country in November 2010, has warned that a third North Korea nuke test could put it on the road to the miniaturization necessary to create a missile-capable warhead.

"If North Korea conducts a third nuclear test, that will be very risky," Hecker told a forum in Seoul. "If another of the North's nuclear tests is successful, I believe that North Korea will succeed in the necessary miniaturization within a few years."

Even so, skeptics say, the U.S. already has in place the missile defense, the once-maligned "Star Wars" technology of President Ronald Reagan's dream and developed by prior administrations, to shoot down a solitary missile with a solitary warhead aimed at the U.S.

Contributor Comment by Roger O'Daniel on February 2, 2013 at 4:06pm: The US Air Force equipped a large passenger airplane with an odd nose. Inside that nose was a mirror to direct a chemical laser beam to a hostile target up to 800 miles away. It burned a hole in the first stage fuel tank of a submarine-launched target missile, causing it to explode in early flight. It had enough chemicals on board to fire at over 20 targets within a 180 degree sphere ahead of the aircraft. The US Navy tested a version of this laser to set a small boat on fire by punching a hole in its fuel tank. It also stopped a jeep in the desert running at its top speed.

Panetta killed the project. He also killed the F-22 fighter and caused the assembly line to be dismantled after builting only about 125 aircraft of a 750 aircraft order. His action left a critical time gap before the F-35 could be deployed. With sequestration now almost a certainty, the F-35 fighter will be delayed while Russia builds their version of a stealth fighter with assistance of India. The laser plane and its weapon are in storage. We could have used this weapon to shoot down NK's missile and drop it back onto their own heads. It could punch a hole in a setellite. Not anymore.

The thrust of the legislation is to “abolish the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal reserve banks, to repeal the Federal Reserve Act, and for other purposes.” It looks like Ron Paul’s consistent cries for dealing with the Federal Reserve have not fallen on deaf ears, nor has the idea dissipated from elected representatives since he left office

Comment by Pat Cunningham on February 2, 2013 at 9:32am: Yes Patrick Jones, it really scared me. I recommend everyone read it. Amazon has it cheap. This seems to be the way of the future. Just think, if a China could successfully use it over the US, they could then enslave us. Never more in the History of the United States do we need Ronald Reagan and we have nothing but a Marxist Puddle in the White House.

Comment by DR Rowe on February 1, 2013 at 8:21pm: Are we seeing it yet? Like pieces to a puzzle, one crisis after another, a weakened economy, Americans kept busy with making ends meet, taxes out the ____, gun supply and ammo that will "dry up" per DiF, US military fighting on more than one front all intentionally coming together to ultimately do what?

Destroy America so the UN and NWO can take over and dictators can rule! It is so obvious!

I pray our military, National Guard, law enforcement and all gun owners in America have their minds made up when the chaos starts and to remember that the chaos is only the distraction of one hand while the other hand is closing the door to the pen.

Comment by Patrick Jones on February 1, 2013 at 2:46pm: @ Pat Cunningham: Was the novel "One Second After by Wm. Forstchen by chance?
If so..that book is a chilling look at the devastation and complete chaos that ensue after an EMP event. It turns out in the novel it was No. Korea that was the culprit.....

Comment by Tom Hare on February 1, 2013 at 2:21pm: With the communist, muslim regime we have working in this country qnd the military leaders,and intel. leaders obama has in place there is nothing going to be done to slow down China, NK, or any in the middle east. China is making billions from the stupid consumers in this country and it will be used against us just like the weapons and billions the senate just voted to continue giving to Egypt and other enemies of the U.S., even those that are killing our soldiers on the battle field right now in Afganistan and Pakistan. I believe China is probably, in the background running that tiger it has by the tail.

Comment by Pat Cunningham on February 1, 2013 at 12:07pm: I wish I could remember the Fictional Novel I read a few years back with America under attack by a Nuclear pulse weapon. It scared me to death. People do not realise the extent of a weapon that could shut down all power in this Country. Batteries, everything electrical shuts down completely. It is a nightmare scenario. If the Government is even slightly afraid North Korea is capable of this, we should extinguish them.

Comment by brunswick on February 1, 2013 at 3:08am: When they get too close. Knock out their Military Installations. No pussyfooting.

Hardline. To Hell with the UN. Kick them out. But our Leaders are Marxists and Traitors.

We are Fighting Outside & Inside. America 1st!
