Anybody want to chew on this morsel for a moment. It's a fairly interesting angle on the subject, especially anyone who likes a creepy xfile conspiracy doodad thinga-ma-jig thrown in.




October 9, 2006 -- WMR's intelligence sources with links to North Korea report that some media sources are hyping the kilo-tonnage of North Korea's underground nuclear weapons test. Although some outlets are reporting that the bomb tested by North Korea was 5 to 15 kilotons, in fact, it was between 1.5 and 2.4 kilotons, considered a surprisingly low yield by Western scientists. By comparison, the bombs dropped by the United States on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were 22 kilotons.

The test was conducted in an underground tunnel at Kilju in northeast North Korea, near the Chinese frontier. Although observers were surprised that North Korea conducted their test before the November 7 U.S. election, handing a national security plum to the Bush administration, others point to the test coming on the even of the UN Security Council vote hours before the selection of the replacement for Kofi Annan as Secretary General. The South Korean Foreign Minister, Ban Ki-moon, a "non-denominational Korean Christian," is believed to have links to the Unification Church of GOP and Bush supporter Sun Myung Moon.



North Korea A-test comes hours before UN Security Council vote on possible Moonie-connected South Korean as UN Secretary General

Sun Myung Moon also has significant economic interests in North Korea, reportedly partly owning a hotel in Pyongyang and a North Korean Fiat automobile plant. The low yield North Korean A-test, conveniently timed on the eve of the Security Council vote on Ban Ki-moon, may forestall any Security Council permanent member veto on Ban Ki-moon considering his nationality and popularity as an intermediary with North Korea.
