Difficult news
For the average American, it can easily be argued that the most pressing though is whether the current recession is going to let up. For some, that thinking includes “When am I going to get a job?” These concerns are very real and very important. For those who are working but find themselves falling short on their bill payments because of unexpected things like car repairs, pay day loans and cheap loans are there to help. If you’re looking for information on those and want to apply, you’ve come to the right place.
But there are other crises that poke into our bubble. Like this one: “What should I think about North Korea’s missiles reaching Hawaii?” According to the BBC, it could happen. Thankfully, the U.S. military claims we are “prepared.”
Our protectors are “in a good position”
U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates has told BBC News that we are “in a good position” to protect ourselves against a potential North Korean missile strike. His ominous comment on the heels of a report that claims that North Korea was “considering launching a missile towards Hawaii.” In fact, Gates even told the BBC that “we do have some concerns if they were to launch a missile to the west in the direction of Hawaii.” Apparently, missile and radar systems are at the ready to “provide support” in the event of attack.
Admittedly, North Korea’s nuclear plans have been cause for concern. But is this just saber rattling by Kim Jong Il and North Korea? Or should we take this threat seriously. Judging by Gates’ statements, America plans to be prepared. However, I do hope that everyone keeps in mind that there is indeed no such thing as a winnable war, particularly if nuclear arms are involved. Diplomacy is always desirable over loss of life.
Weaseling around sanctions
North Korea has performed tests that could indicate that short-range missile delivery of nuclear warheads is in their plans. On May 25, they conducted an underground nuclear test. Since then, they’ve test-fired numerous short-range missiles. According to BBC sources there is currently a North Korean ship under surveillance to ensure that it does not violate United Nations sanctions.
On the financial front, North Korea may be preparing to find ways around financial sanctions. Reportedly, President Obama has warned all U.S. banks that attempt to “engage in deceptive practices” in order to get money in and out of the country. This would be in response to UN Security Council-imposed sanctions that followed North Korea’s nuclear tests. Considering that even their traditional allies – China and Russia – are demanding that Korea return to anti-nuclear proliferation negotiations, it seems that the odds are stacked against Kim Jong Il’s regime. No pay day loans or cheap loans can bail North Korea out of their sanction prison… and that’s the way it should be until they’re willing to play non-violent ball with the rest of the world.

JUNE 5, 2009, THE DAY PAST THE NORTH KOREAN MISSILE THREAT. Regardless
whether it was only a passing idle threat or, if Hawaii, Alaska or Southren California is
no longer on the map, this situation will never be over from this day and time on. North
Korea has nuclear weapons, it is only a matter of time before Iran has them, if they don’t
already. And as each year goes by, it seems that more countries are attempting to
develope their own nuclear weapons…including those countries who sponsor terrorist
organizations. It’s becoming very clear, to anyone who is willing to see things as they
are, that this world we live in gets more dangerous as time goes on. If you really want to
be honest with yourself, consider in your own mind, do you suppose it is only a matter
of time before a nuclear war breaks loose on this planet? I wouldn’t want to be a
nonbeliever when it happens. Earlier this year, I made a sincere decission to call upon
the Lord for forgiviness of the sins in my life, and repented from sin for the remission of
sins. (No one in this life will ever be perfect…you still try) I’m now 55 years old, and for
years I fooled myself with the notion that everything will work out fine as it was. If you
have never became a christian, YOU ARE PLAYING THE FOOL, AS I WAS FOR THE
PAST 54 YEARS…AND PLAYING THE FOOL WITH YOUR OWN SOUL. Have you
ever considered whether you will have advanced warning if your hometown became the
target for an approaching nuclear missile. Most likely not. Do you think your government
is willing to panic it’s people who they cannot save anyway? Television shows will
not be interupted by “special news bulletins”. The Emergancy Broadcast System will
not air on radio. You’ll hear no air raid sirens. No hysterical people in the streets. There
will be no mass of people killing and running over each other in a mad rush to get away
from town as far and as fast as they possibly can. And no one who is not already a
christian will be making last minute decissions to call upon the Lord…No one will know
what’s coming. When the initial nuclear flash hits, this life is over in a billointh of a
second. Those who are not saved will suddenly be in Hell, wondering what happened
and how they got there so quickly, while the thurmosphere explosion is still scortching
away the ground where their hometown was only seconds before. If you go to Hell lost,
and someday stand before God in judgement before you and the rest of Hell are cast
into the Lake of Fire for eternity, you will remember each time someone spoke to you
about your spiritual condition…including what you’ve just read.
Some people believe the Lake of Fire is the molten core of the Earth. Would you bet
your soul it’s not?
