Richardson ‘encouraged’ by North Korea trip

Gov. Bill Richardson announced Monday that he was “encouraged” after his trip to North Korea, particularly over the country’s decision to respond in “a statesmanlike manner” after South Korea began military exercises.

During Richardson’s Dec. 16-20 trip, South Korea participated in live-fire drills that prompted a threat of retaliation by North Korea. Cooler heads prevailed, and North Korea did not respond.

“I am very encouraged by the news that North Korea will not react militarily to South Korea’s drills,” Richardson said. “During my meetings in Pyongyang, I repeatedly pressed North Korea not to retaliate. The result is that South Korea was able to flex its muscles, and North Korea reacted in a statesmanlike manner. I hope this will signal a new chapter and a round of dialogue to lessen tension on the Korean peninsula.”

Richardson gained some concessions from the North Koreans, including allowing nuclear inspectors to return to the country. He also negotiated a deal where North Korea agreed to sell buy fresh fuel rods from nuclear power plants to a third party.

South Korea said it was too early to tell if the offer from North Korea was genuine or not.

“We need to assess overall the scope of inspection and the motivation behind North Korea agreeing to let IAEA inspectors back in,” South Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman Kim Young-sun told reporters Monday.

Richardson also discussed a military commission that would involve representatives from North Korea, South Korea and the United States to monitor and prevent conflicts in the disputed areas of the West Sea.

Richardson was not in North Korea on an official State Department trip. Richardson has traveled to the secretive country before and received diplomats in New Mexico from the country.

JAPAN OPENS OLD WOUNDS- Dynamic defense capability

[Rent a cop over load]

Now, Japan, the [ROK] Republic of Korea, and Taipei, are considered by the American-Israeli Military complex as its property in the Far-East its industrial base, which if you look at Japan may or may not be the case, its just who has been getting what from whom, its more of a symbiotic relationship its like the shark and its pilot fish, both gain something from each other. The Empire of Japan has had a free ride not having to support a large Military Machine by renting one from the West, as at the same time it increased its profits by the manufacture and sale of products in the West doing away with transportation cost, and possible damage of goods, increasing its profit margins. Basically the West has been up to this date been a rent a cop, of Japanese Industry, which is willing to pay an extortion fee, or as LT. Gen. Edward Rice, the former commander of the forces of occupation Okinawa, remarked was a modest level of owed payment in support of the occupation of Okinawa, a payment of [€1.75B/¥188B] One-Point-Seven-Five Billion Euros/One-Hundred-Eighty-Eight Billion Yen thru [2016] to its rent a cop security force, after all the peoples of Okinawa are not Japanese but a conquered peoples of the Japanese Empire, their burden is for the good of the Mainland Japanese Empire.

[Japans dynamic defense capability posture]

The problem is the rent a cop company is going broke, having over extended its international business and is no longer able to provide the increasing security needs of the Japanese Empire. While Japanese industry has been out sourcing its own business operations which are now at risk, the breakaway Chinese Providence of Taipei, Nationalist China with the growth of the [C] of the [BRIC] Brazil, The Russian Federation, India, and The [DPRC] Democratic Peoples Republic of China, will soon be faced with a choice of a Hong Kong peaceful reunification with mainland China, or its forced one by the peoples armies, and the [ROK] versus the [DPRK] The Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea, which peaceful reunification process has been stopped cold by the [ROK], flexing its military muscle backed by the American-Israeli Military Industrial Complex, and then the peoples of Okinawa rising up peacefully at the moment only forming human chains of opposition around its foreign occupation troops fortifications, demanding removal the burden of foreign occupation, placed upon them by their Japanese Imperial Masters, for the support of the Japanese Imperial Industrial and Defense needs. All the while as the Japanese Empire’s Imperial Armies, are busy rebuilding Japanese Militarism, under their new dynamic defense capability posture, with a new budgeted [€0.22T/ ¥23.39T] Zero-Point-Twenty-Two Trillion Euros/Twenty-Three-Point-Thirty-Nine Trillion Yen with an additional [€0.93M/100M] Zero-Point-Ninety-Three Million Euros/One-Hundred Million Yen, for unexpected needs, for the next decade in military spending, while its arms industry enters the arms dealer markets of the region within the entire Sphere of Influence of the [BRIC] member [C] China.

[There will be change]

The Chinese [C], China [Our Land] and as a member nation of the [BRIC] Sphere of Influence is trying to strengthen and unite those regional states within its own Sphere of Influence under a shared protective umbrella of economic, military, political, stability, based upon fundamentally shared values and interests in an effort to avoid regional destabilizing factors during the process of change currently sweeping the [21st] Century within its own Sphere of Influence, as the forces of the American-Israeli Military Industrial Complex and Japanese Empire join together in what appears to be an attempt to thwart the tide of change sweeping the world of the [21st] Century, but as it was once stated by a Native American Nation Chief, “I do not know if it will be for good or bad, but I do know for certain their will be change!” The Era of Pox America-Israeli Military Complex hegemony is coming to its end, the only question is will it be with acceptance or with a Nuclear Winter, either way it will end there will be change.
