US Orders Blackout Over North Korean Torpedoing Of Gulf Of Mexico Oil Rig

North Korean Poster

A grim report circulating in the Kremlin today written by Russia’s Northern Fleet is reporting that the United States has ordered a complete media blackout over North Korea’s torpedoing of the giant Deepwater Horizon oil platform owned by the World’s largest offshore drilling contractor Transocean that was built and financed by South Korea’s Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. Ltd., that has caused great loss of life, untold billions in economic damage to the South Korean economy, and an environmental catastrophe to the United States.

Most important to understand about this latest attack by North Korea against its South Korean enemy is that under the existing “laws of war” it was a permissible action as they remain in a state of war against each other due to South Korea’s refusal to sign the 1953 Armistice ending the Korean War.

To the attack itself, these reports continue, the North Korean “cargo vessel” Dai Hong Dan believed to be staffed by 17th Sniper Corps “suicide” troops left Cuba’s Empresa Terminales Mambisas de La Habana (Port of Havana) on April 18th whereupon it “severely deviated” from its intended course for Venezuela’s Puerto Cabello bringing it to within 209 kilometers (130 miles) of the Deepwater Horizon oil platform which was located 80 kilometers (50 miles) off the coast of the US State of Louisiana where it launched an SSC Sang-o Class Mini Submarine (Yugo class) estimated to have an operational range of 321 kilometers (200 miles).

On the night of April 20th the North Korean Mini Submarine manned by these “suicidal” 17th Sniper Corps soldiers attacked the Deepwater Horizon with what are believed to be 2 incendiary torpedoes causing a massive explosion and resulting in 11 workers on this giant oil rig being killed outright.  Barely 48 hours later, on April 22nd , this North Korean Mini Submarine committed its final atrocity by exploding itself directly beneath the Deepwater Horizon causing this $1 Billion oil rig to sink beneath the seas and marking 2010’s celebration of Earth Day with one of the largest environmental catastrophes our World has ever seen.

To the reason for North Korea attacking the Deepwater Horizon, these reports say, was to present US President Obama with an “impossible dilemma” prior to the opening of the United Nations Review Conference of the Parties to the Treat on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) set to begin May 3rd in New York.

This “impossible dilemma” facing Obama is indeed real as the decision he is faced with is either to allow the continuation of this massive oil leak catastrophe to continue for months, or immediately stop it by the only known and proven means possible, the detonation of a thermonuclear device.

Russian Navy atomic experts in these reports state that should Obama choose the “nuclear option” the most viable weapon at his disposal is the United States B83 (Mk-83) strategic thermonuclear bomb having a variable yield (Low Kiloton Range to 1,200 Kilotons) which with its 12 foot length and 18 inch diameter, and weighing just over 2,400 pounds, is readily able to be deployed and detonated by a remote controlled mini-sub.

Should Obama choose the “nuclear option” it appears that he would be supported by the International Court of Justice who on July 8, 1996 issued an advisory opinion on the use of nuclear weapons stating that they could not conclude definitively on these weapons use in “extreme circumstances” or “self defense”.

On the other hand, if Obama chooses the “nuclear option” it would leave the UN’s nuclear conference in shambles with every Nation in the World having oil rigs off their coasts demanding an equal right to atomic weapons to protect their environment from catastrophes too, including Iran.

To whatever decision Obama makes it remains a fact that with each passing hour this environmental catastrophe grows worse. And even though Obama has ordered military SWAT teams to protect other oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico from any further attack, and further ordered that all drilling in the Gulf of Mexico be immediately stopped, this massive oil spill has already reached the shores of America and with high waves and more bad weather forecast the likelihood of it being stopped from destroying thousands of miles of US coastland and wildlife appears unstoppable.

And not just to the environmental catastrophe that is unfolding the only devastation to be wrecked upon the United States and South Korea by this North Korean attack as the economic liabilities associated with this disaster are estimated by these Russian reports to be between $500 Billion to $1.5 Trillion, and which only a declaration of this disaster being an “act of war” would free some the World’s largest corporations from bankruptcy.

Important to note too in all of these events was that this was the second attack by North Korea on its South Korean enemy, and US ally, in a month as we had reported on in our March 28th report titled “Obama Orders ‘Immediate Stand-down’ After Deadly North Korean Attack” and which to date neither the Americans or South Korea have retaliated for and giving one senior North Korean party leader the courage to openly state that the North Korean military took “gratifying revenge” on South Korea.

And for those believing that things couldn’t get worse, they couldn’t be more mistaken as new reports coming from Japanese military sources are stating that North Korea is preparing for new launches of its 1,300 kilometer (807 miles) intermediate range ballistic “Rodong” missile which Russian Space Forces experts state is able to “deploy and detonate” an atomic electromagnetic pulse (EMP) device, and which if detonated high in the atmosphere could effectively destroy the American economy for years, if not decades, to come.

I don't know of this online newspaper or if it's anything like the National Enquirer, BUT........ if there's any truth to the story, all hell is going to break loose.

They had me going until the discussion turned to using a nuke to stop the oik leak in the gulf........not only is such an approach stupid, it would likely produce more environmental damage than the oil ever would.......

And if you read the last paragraph, they refer to the "Rodong" missile.

Ain't no such thing.  It's a NODONG missile.

Looking at their website, it looks like shit that was too crazy for even Pravda to publish.  These are the same asshats that tried to claim that Obama ordered 1 million troops to be ready for the outbreak of civil war.

I am thinking you are correct as the last time I was in S. Korea, LoDongKing (S. Korea's version of America's Burger King) was offering two RoDongDings (S. Korea's version of a double Dog Meat Burger), for a buck on their Double Dog Dollar Menu.

  • Make America Great Again. Deport some DUmmies.
Really ? I figured the platform was taken down by softball sized nukes that were quietly installed over the last few months . I suspect the submarine never existed, and was just a hologram made to look like a terra-ist attack so the Obama administration would have the excuse to use warfare as as means to correct a terrible economy.. DUAC !!!! DUAC !!!!


Seriously though -- this story does stir the imagination, but I believe it is nothing more than a story.

I will say, though, that I still haven't read a conclusive explanation for the explosion. Pressure explosion is the main suspect, but who knows? I'm not saying it's this, just that--we still don't really know if it was an accident, or something else.

The story seemed odd to me because I've sat across the Armistice Agreement negotiating table looking and talking directly to the KPA/DPRK representatives on the other side, and one thing they are not is suicidal...they are brutal and willing to waste the lives of their troops and citizens, but an attack on a facility so near US territorial waters would be suicidal -- not just for the 'trigger men,' but for the Kim ruling clique. Such an attack could not be kept quiet, even with a presidential secrecy order...

Someone else here said it perfectly: Ms. Faal is the queen of Internet hoaxes.

But just to be sure, I checked with people who watch the north Koreans every day...there is no ship bearing the name reported in the story and both KPA and Party Special Ops forces and naval assets are all accounted for. The Russian Navy has made no such assertion, as reported in the story. One of my friends works for the Russian northern Pacific Fleet in Vladivostok and when I asked him about Ms. Faal's story he wrote back that he had nearly fallen off his chair from laughing so hard...I also checked with MARFORPAC and PACOM in Hawaii and got similar responses from old friends still working there.
A nuke could not be used to seal the ruptured well-head...the damage would be exponentially greater than the oil leak.
As for the gentleman who disclaimed the spelling and pronunciation of 'Nodong' vs 'Rodong,' the N & R sounds are oddities of Hangul-Mal (the Korean language)...I don't have the software to show the Korean characters that make up Rodong, but in Hangul, the character that equates to our "R" sound is also used for our "N" sound, but Hangul is generally pronounced as the "R" sound...but as we Anglicize the character, we make it the "N" sound...either pronunciation is correct.

And now, after spending a herd of perfectly good electrons on this query I feel like a dope...but at least I gave long-time colleagues a good laugh.

I never believed it.

You wouldn't use a torpedo, you would use divers to plant a device on the rig and then splode it when your farther away.

Memo to noob troll:

We have Korean posters here.  And even the most basic of Google searches would have shown the English spelling (and pronunciation) is NODONG.  Leally.  Wearry.  Pluppy fluffy, pluppy...oh, puck you, man.

Nah, TiT wouldn't be smart enough to use the right abbreviations, although it baffles me why a command in Hawaii would necessarily give a shit about what happens in the Gulf of Mexico.  And using MARFORPAC?  We got a bunch of Marines running around the Korean peninsula that nobody knows about?

I've noticed on Facebook that many people are leaning towards some sort of conspiracy theory as far as this oil rig getting blown up. Albeit not necessarily the N Korean theory, but possibly our own Government or some other nefarious faction. I find it pretty "convenient" that 0bama was just discussing more drilling and then this crap "just happens". (No cause has yet been determined) The timing seems to be impeccable, IMO.
