The Kim Regime of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (aka North Korea / DPRK) has conducted a successful nuclear test at 10:35am local time today. This has been confirm by the U.S. Geological Service, which detected seismic activity of 4.2 on the Richter scale at the suspected Nuclear test site in North Korea.
China has denounced North Korea’s brazen disregard of international opposition and called upon the DPRK to return to the 6 party talks. Japan has called for new sanctions and the White House has called upon North Korea to end all such provocative action and has reaffirmed her vow to defend her allies in East Asia. Meantime, South Korea wants the UN to take up the matter of the North Korea’s nuclear tests.
DAMN YOU, NORTH KOREA!! DAMN YOU, KIM JONG IL!!
It’s not like our world isn’t messed up enough already!

Update: Whether the DPRK has exploded a nuclear or neutron device remains debatable as estimate of the power of the DRPK explosion was equivalent to 550 tons of TNT, i.e. about 4.4% of the power of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Whatever the case is, I sincerely hoped that North Korea does not have possession of the bomb and this was just Kim Jong Il trying to pull a fast one on the Americans using a large amount of conventional explosives. |

According to the NEA, the PSI (Pollution Status Index) hit a good 150 at 9pm, 07.10.2006
The following pics were taken around 5 – 6 pm on the same day, when the PSI was around 86 – 98. I just can’t imagine what 150 is like, when this was less that 100.
Personally speaking, it is my considered opinion that the current Indonesian gover-min has shown itself completely incompetent in governance. Either way, I have always considered Indonesia’s claims of sovereignty over its current territory shaky at best, since historically the original Dutch East Indies was simply an administrative region as a colony of the Netherlands, and not as one monolithic country. (Otherwise, Polynesia would cover all the way north to Hawaii, south to New Zealand, and east to Easter Island.)
I wouldn’t feel sorry at all if Indonesia breaks down into five or six smaller states (e.g. Riau, Sumatra, Java, Borneo, Celebes and Guinea) if the end result was a state of better governance. The abuse and neglect of Jakarta over the current Indonesian terrorities have reached such an utterly unbearable and unacceptable level that they have certainly lost their right and mandate to rule. There’s no reason why the rest of the region should tolerate the existence of this pathetic rogue state and continue to suffer in silence annually this nonsense. This is almost as bad as Iran and North Korea having possession of The Bomb.
Alas, it is almost unlikely that even in dissolution we will see a better future ahead for them. In Indonesia’s case, perhaps it would have been better had the European colonialists stayed on as their Overlords. It is almost entirely possible that the Europeans will be far more enlightened in their rule than Indonesia’s current lea-duhship.
A permit from the MHA for a public protest outside the Indonesian embassy, anybody?
Just joking… it is unlikely that they will grant one, after Baby Lee says rioting is a no-no recently.

My nose runs, my eyes hurt and they water, my throat is so sore that I have been drinking like a water buffalo, and the air f***ing stinks.
Thrice damned Borneo (and I don’t care if it’s Sarawak [Malaysia] or Kalimantan [Indonesia])!! Thrice damned logging companies!!
Damn them all to the hottest of hells.
And can we call this blasted SMOKE as what it is instead of trying to appease the shitheads by calling it a haze?! It’s not a f***ing haze!!
The next shithead that burns the forest should be NAPALMED to let him have a feel of how it is like to be burnt. And yes, burn him, his family, his clan, his village, his town, his province, his country.
Napalm, or just nuke ALL of them!!
ARRRRGHHHH!!!
Taiwan’s China Times reported that China was trying to hire some of the guys from Metal Storm and the Australian gover-min stepped in and stop these designers from helping China design or build one of these.

Whatever the case is, Israeli cities in the north just need some of these against those nuisance from Hezbollah. Just imagine this some time into the future: * Incoming – Missile from Lebanon * * BLAAAAMMM – Metal Storm Fires * * BOOM – Missile destroyed off target * And then the Hezbollah and Nasrallah can laugh and boast no more about their victory. |
