North Korea’s missiles can reach Europe, a government briefing was told. Military official Lee Sang-haw said ‘Europe is within range’ – along with the US
The alarming announcement came after it was suggested North Korea’s rockets could travel a few thousand kilometres.
However, Lee Sang-haw, director general of the South’s North Korean nuclear affairs bureau, said the distance could be a lot more than previously predicted.
He said that ‘Europe is also within range’ along with the US – and the whole NATO alliance, reports Michael Havis at the Daily Star Online.
Kim Jong-un’s nuclear missiles can reach the United States and Europe, it was revealed at a South Korean government briefing.
North Korea’s KN-08 missile – which is still being developed – could end up having a range of 12,000km – making the whole of Europe a potential target.
A senior ministry source told the website that extent of the country’s weapons was ‘classified’ information after Mr Sang-haw would not release further details.
They source said: ‘I am not able to share everything I know because much of the intelligence is classified and I don’t want to go into precise details.
‘There are different assessments of North Korea’s ballistic missile capabilities, but what is for sure is as they repeat tests, they learn something important.’
The alarming announcement came after it was suggested the 32-year-old’s rockets could travel a few thousand kilometres.
Chris Ogden, an expert in Asian security at St Andrews University, said the information could ‘broaden the potential of a nuclear attack’.
He said it was ‘unclear’ why Jong-un would wish to target Europe and added: ‘The key enemies above all others are South Korea and the US, and by extension Japan, not Europe.
‘An attack or a lashing out would centre on launching a weapon towards these targets first and not to Europe, if ever.

Trump In Cahoots With Russia

Former Clinton campaign Chairman John Podesta said Sunday he believes that Donald Trump’s associates may have colluded with Russian hackers to win the election.
In his first TV interview since Hillary Clinton’s loss, Podesta said he doesn’t believe that the president-elect himself was part of the plan but suggested some of his associates may have gone off the reservation. The Electoral College electors, he said, have the right to know the extent of the Trump campaign’s involvement before they cast their votes Monday.
“It’s very much unknown whether there was collusion,” Podesta said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
“What did Trump Inc. know? When did they know it? Were they in touch with the Russians?” Podesta asked. “I think the electors have the right to know what the answers are.”
“The Russians were trying to elect a lap dog,” Podesta said, referring to a recent piece by New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof.
Podesta also offered new details on the hacking of his private Gmail account, saying he wasn’t contacted by the FBI until Oct. 9, two days after WikiLeaks started releasing his emails.
“The first thing the agent said to me is, ‘I don’t know if you’re aware, but your email account might have been hacked,'” Podesta said. “I said, ‘Yes, I was aware of that.'”
“That was the last time I talked to the FBI,” Podesta added.
Podesta accepted a share of the blame for Clinton’s loss, though, conceding the campaign wasn’t aggressive enough in some Midwestern states. Democrats should put together a detailed postmortem report, he said, similar to what Republicans did after Mitt Romney’s loss in 2012.
“We owe it to our supporters to say what we think we did right, what we think we did wrong,” Podesta said. “I think [in] Wisconsin we could have done better. There’s no question about it.”
“At the end of the day, we also lost Pennsylvania, and there is nothing we left … undone there, and we still lost by 44,000 votes,” he added.

America Overdue For The Sixth Seal (Revelation 6:12)

New Study: America Overdue For Major Earthquake … In States You Didn’t Suspect

New York Destroyed
Written by: Daniel Jennings Current Events July 31, 2014
The survey’s new National Seismic Hazard Map show that the risk of earthquakes in parts of the country — such as the Midwest, Oregon and the Rocky Mountains — is far higher than previously thought. All total, Americans in one-third of the country saw their risk for an earthquake increase.
“I worry that we will wake up one morning and see earthquake damage in our country that is as bad as that has occurred in some developing nations that have experienced large earthquakes,” Carl Hedde, a risk management expert at insurer Munich Reinsurance America, said of the map in The Wall Street Journal. “Beyond building collapse, a large amount of our infrastructure could be immediately damaged. Our roads, bridges and energy transmission systems can be severely impacted.”
Among the findings:
  • The earthquake danger in parts of Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Illinois and South Carolina is as high as that in Los Angeles.
  • 42 of the 50 states have a reasonable chance of experiencing a damaging earthquake in the next 50 years.
  • Parts of 16 states have the highest risk of a quake: Alaska, Hawaii, California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Illinois, Kentucky and South Carolina
“We know the hazard has increased for small and moderate size earthquakes,” USGS scientist William Ellsworth told The Journal. “We don’t know as well how much the hazard has increased for large earthquakes. Our suspicion is it has but we are working on understanding this.”
Frightening Results From New Study
The USGS used new computer modeling technology and data collected from recent quakes such as the one that struck Washington, D.C. in 2011 to produce the new maps. The maps show that many Americans who thought they were safe from earthquakes are not.

Some of the survey’s other disturbing findings include:
  • The earthquake danger in Oklahoma, Alabama, Colorado, Georgia, Indiana, Michigan, Virginia, New York and parts of New England is higher than previously thought.
  • Some major metropolitan areas, including Memphis, Salt Lake City, Seattle, St. Louis and Charleston, have a higher risk of earthquakes than previously thought. One of the nation’s most dangerous faults, the New Madrid fault, runs right through St. Louis and Missouri. It is the nation’s second most active fault. On Dec. 16, 1811, the New Madrid Fault was the site of the most powerful series of earthquakes in American history.
“Obviously the building codes throughout the central U.S. do not generally take earthquake risk or the risk of a large earthquake into account,” USGS Seismologist Elizabeth Cochran told The Journal. Her take: Earthquake damage in the central US could be far greater than in places like California, because structures in some locations are not built to withstand quakes.
Others agree.
“Earthquakes are quite rare in many places but when they happen they cause very intense damage because people have not prepared,” Mark Petersen, the project chief for the USGS’s National Seismic Hazard Map, told The Journal.
This new map should be a wakeup call for Americans.

NUKEMAP was created by  Alex Wellerstein, a historian of science at the Stevens Institute of Technology.It’s been around for a few years, but has gone viral in recent days after appearing in the Data Is Beautiful section of Reddit.
Simply type in the name of the city you want to virtually nuke, and select the size of explosion, from a 20 kiloton ‘Davy Crockett’ (the smallest nuclear weapon produced by the US) to the terrifying 100 megaton “Tsar Bomba”.
The map then displays colour-coded circles indicating fireball radius, radiation radius, air blast radius and thermal radiation radius.
Here are the likely effects of a Chinese Dong Feng-5 ICBM exploding over central London:


Here’s the same weapon over Manchester:
And here’s how Scotland would look in the event of Russia detonating one of their Tsar Bomba’s over  HMNB Clyde, home of Britain’s nuclear submarines:
“Some people think they destroy everything in the world all that once, some people think they are not very different from conventional bombs. The reality is somewhere in between: nuclear weapons can cause immense destruction and huge losses of life, but the effects are still comprehendible on a human scale.  “The NUKEMAP is aimed at helping people visualize nuclear weapons on terms they can make sense of — helping them to get a sense of the scale of the bombs.
“By allowing people to use arbitrarily picked geographical locations, I hope that people will come to understand what a nuclear weapon would do to places they are familiar with, and how the different sizes of nuclear weapons change the results.”

India Now Has Precision Nuclear Weapons

Here’s All You Need To Know About Agni-1P, India’s New ‘Pakistan Killer’ Missile

Here’s All You Need To Know About Agni-1P, India’s New ‘Pakistan Killer’ Missile

File Picture: Agni-1
The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is developing a new, Pakistan-centric nuclear missile that will be equipped with sophisticated technology used in intermediate range ballistic missile (IRBM) such as Agni-IV. The new missile, Agni-1P, will replace Prithvi and Agni-1, developed with relatively low-end technology in the early 1990s, and will reportedly have a range of 300 to 700 kilometres.
If reports in the media are true, the Agni-1P will be a two-stage, solid propellant missile with both stages comprising composite rocket motors, guidance systems with electro-mechanical actuators, and inertial navigation systems based on advanced ring-laser gyroscopes.
With new findings, DRDO has now mastered the technology, and with what it has called ‘backward integration of technology,’ now plans to replace missiles that have low accuracy.
