“The collective leadership of North Korea wants to survive and they will not stop, so the best way to soften the situation is to return to the Six Party Talks.”

As an American I do not agree with what North Korea is doing. As a Christian in looking at history; then today, a whole different picture emerges with many meanings. I am not smart enough to know what is going on and my thoughts shared are only a question? What is emerging was written about some time ago. - Much like Sashkavilli of Georgia attacking the Russians - - - Sashkavilli would not have done so without the consent of our Country (the money had been paid to the Lobbyists so the attack could happen) - - - as reported by the John McGlaughlin Group Television Show in the United States - - - - The North Korean Government is going forward in what is described as reckless/unilateral effort! North Korea knows the JDF (Japanese Defense Force) is one of the strongest armies in the world today. As described by a CIA person who talked too much at times the JDF has a completely modern army with nuclear capabilities that can probably wipe out all who oppose them in the Far East (including China). It seems, the "Shakespearian Play" will be going into its 2nd act soon, then things will begin to happen, with the players able to be identified. Through several situations, which will be released shortly, Japan has to expand somewhere. Much like a Chess Game, should the opening, be the movement of the pawns? Is what is happening in North Korea just the movement of the first pawn, or was Japan demanding Russia give part of Russia to Japan the first movement?? According to the News Media the United States has left its Southern Borders open to every "Rodent" that may want to enter. It seems Russia has more respect for its Country and Culture than leaving its Eastern Border open for Japan or its Western Border open for Sakashvilli; his lobbyists friends from around the world. - A lot of your Russian Gold; blood is stored in the Swiss Vaults with the Swastika Emblem. This also includes of course European, Jewish, American, etc. Gold and blood. - We never hear of the Gold that Japan stole from many countries, including North Korea, while they were also taking their blood. Can anyone tell me where this Gold went and was it recovered? With the use of this Gold in the Swiss Vaults the Lobbyists in the United States seem to be in a drunken craze, and are "stirring the pot". I had better go out and buy Stock in Defense and War Material Companies. - Isn't the Modern World great! With Blessings to all who believe
