POPSOfficials in Southern California Prepare For Inevitable Nuclear Attack, Thanks to SmartPower™
"Hollywood is raising awareness about the aftermath of a mega disaster and what needs to be done to survive," Kondo said. Experts are especially concerned about the possibility that Iran one day could launch ship-based nuclear missiles, said Brian Kennedy, president of The Claremont Institute's Ballistic Missile Defense Project. "The West Coast of the U.S. has limited missile defense against a North Korean missile," Kennedy said. "And, unfortunately, we're almost completely vulnerable to a ship-launched ballistic missile attack." Kennedy is also concerned a ship-launched nuclear missile detonated at a high altitude would create an electromagnetic pulse, possibly destroying electronic equipment and knocking out the nation's power grid - leaving the country with little or no communications and no ability to provide food and water to potentially hundreds of millions of people. http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/0DE6BA09-9CE6-4770-9518-2CF80C3C9054/

POPSSouth Korea Continues to Show Its Dominance by Jill Simpson
North Korean and South Korea continue to scuffle over South Korean waters off the peninsula's western coast. According to Korean Translation workers, "In recent weeks, the South Korean navy easily defeated a decrepit North Korean Ship by firing several hundred rounds into it." Of course, in true North Korean fashion the scuffle was quickly turned into a heroic win by the North. However, Sunday's activities weren't nearly as exciting. On Sunday, a North Korean army sergeant was rescued at sea by the South Korean navy but not without some drama to go along with it. While the sergeant was "rescued" but South Korea, he was briefly detained and held for spying. New York Translation workers suggest that this all happened when the sergeant's boat drifted onto what South Korea claims to be their waters. The sergeant asked for leniency from the South Koreans and explained that One likely explanation for the sergeant's presence in those waters is that they are a very rich crabbing area. However,

POPSThe Bizarre Saga of the Arctic Sea, Not Another Climate Post One is tempted to chalk this ex post facto claim that the ship had not been lost to Russian ego, which over the years has moved Moscow to claim that intelligence and competence were behind no end of stupid and incompetent things. But then why this?: The saga also took a bizarre new twist when the ministry disclosed that the ship’s captain had tried to pass off the Arctic Sea as a North Korean vessel when it was intercepted by the Russian Navy. This is the first time that investigators have implicated the crew in the mystery. FP Passport's Joshua Keating asks the right question: "Who gets caught and then claims to be from North Korea???"

POPSNK threatens US; world anticipates missile I believe we've heard this from another member of "the axis of evil". And I read yesterday that the USS McCain was no longer following the vessel. Someone suggested that the hands of the US are tied because of our financial obligations to China...I hope that is not true.

POPSN.Korea defiant over sanctions threat... The USS John S. McCain was shadowing the vessel, the Kang Nam, the first ship to be monitored under a UN resolution imposed a week ago that bans arms shipments to and from North Korea, the official said. Pentagon officials declined to comment on a television report the Navy destroyer was heading to intercept the North Korean vessel.

POPS U.S.Navy Awaits Negotiations On Pirated Tanker "The goal is to get the pirates off the ships so the ships can return to legitimate shipping traffic and transit," said Cmdr. Lydia Robertson, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Fifth Fleet in Bahrain. The Navy came to the aid of the chemical tanker this week, at one point opening fire to destroy pirate skiffs tied to it. It also helped a North Korean ship whose crew overpowered pirates in a clash that left several crew members wounded and one hijacker dead. The hijackers were being held aboard the ship until they can be handed over for prosecution at a port. After the clash, Navy personnel boarded the North Korean boat to treat the wounded. The U.S. military said it was monitoring the two boats off the southern coast of Somalia.

POPS Pirates In Somalia Hijacked A Cargo Ship Piracy off Somalia increased this year after Ethiopian forces backing Somali government troops ousted an Islamic militia in December, said Andrew Mwangura, program coordinator of the Seafarers Assistance Program which independently monitors piracy in the region. Indonesia remained the world's worst piracy hotspot, with 37 attacks in the first nine months of 2007. But that was an improvement from 40 in the same period a year earlier. Southeast Asia's Malacca Strait, one of the world's busiest waterways, has been relatively quiet with 198 attacks on ships reported between January and September, up from 174 in the same period in 2006. It said 15 vessels were hijacked, 63 crew members kidnapped and three killed. Oil-rich Nigeria suffered 26 pirate attacks so far this year, up from nine in the same period last year.
