North Korea: Kim Jong-un orders nuclear weapons readied for use "at any time"

<< North Korea should be ready to use nuclear weapons "at any time" in the face of a growing threat from its enemies, leader Kim Jong-un has decreed in a further escalation of tensions on the Korean peninsula. Kim's warning, issued via state-controlled media on Friday morning, appeared to be an attempt to put pressure on the international community after the UN security council on Wednesday adopted a raft of new sanctions against the regime in response to its recent nuclear test and rocket launch.

Kim, who was supervising the test-firing of newly developed multiple rocket launchers, said North Korea's situation had become so perilous that it should have the option of launching a "pre-emptive attack" – a departure from previous claims that the North's nuclear capability was purely a deterrent. In an apparent threat to neighbouring South Korea, Kim said the new rocket launchers should be "promptly deployed" along with other new weaponry. He said the regime's enemies – notably the US – were threatening North Korea's survival, the state-controlled KCNA news agency reported.

"At an extreme time when the Americans are urging war and disaster on other countries and people, the only way to defend our sovereignty and right to live is to bolster our nuclear capability", KCNA quoted Kim as saying. "Under the extreme situation that the US imperialist is misusing its military influence and is pressuring other countries and people to start war and catastrophe, the only way for our people to protect sovereignty and rights to live is to strengthen the quality and quantity of nuclear power and realise the balance of power. We must always be ready to fire our nuclear warheads at any time." >>

A young Egyptian studying in California was reportedly found in custody of the FBI after disappearing without a trace for several days.

Emad El-Din Ali Mohamed Nasr El Sayed (Emad El Sayed) disappeared on the morning of 12 February 2016 without anyone knowing why.

According to his family members, El Sayed had been studying at the Universal Air Academy (UAA) located in Los Angeles since September 2015. The young student’s disappearance sparked a social media campaign with the hashtag ‪#‎Find_EmadElSayed‬.
 
For more than a week, family members and friends were left perplexed and worried about the 23-year-old. However, it was soon revealed by some family members that El Sayed was apprehended by the FBI “for sharing a post” against U.S. Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump.

“My brother Emad El Sayed who has been missing since Friday, 12th of February…was apprehended by FBI, for sharing a post that was against the U.S candidate Donald Trump, as ridiculous as it may sound, yes it is in fact the reason why he was put under arrest,” wrote El Sayed’s sister on Facebook.

However, a source in Egypt’s Foreign Ministry confirmed that El Sayed was arrested for posting what authorities believed was a death threat. According to this source, the USA’s ‘paranoia’ with terrorism and the fact El Sayed was studying aviation contributed to why he was arrested.

Meanwhile, according to his sister Ohoud Ali, Emad was denied of all of his rights to a lawyer during his detention, explaining why no one had heard of his whereabouts for days at a time.

“Emad was denied all of his rights to an attorney or a lawyer who would defend him and guarantee his rights for a proper prosecution then went into an undisclosed location with no way to reach out for the world,” wrote Ohoud on Facebook.

“And suppos[edly] [the] USA is the land of the free.”

Ohoud, who has also criticized Egypt’s Consulate in Los Angeles for not taking sufficient action, revealed on Tuesday that the FBI decided to drop charges related to the Facebook post, but that there is now a case to cancel his visa.

Nevertheless, an Egyptian foreign ministry source said the government is providing all potential support to secure El Sayed’s release and to allow him to remain in the United States to finish his studies after his release.

In statements to Egyptian Streets, Ohoud said that there will be a court hearing on 1 March 2016. According to Ohoud, the charges remain unclear.

“We dont know what are the charges…they investigated him because the post on Facebook, then they canceled his visa, then they detained him for NOT having a visa,” explained Ohoud, adding that El Sayed is being held in Orange County.

El Sayed’s family and friends have also been unable to directly contact El Sayed, with all contact occurring through his lawyer.

“We are just waiting,” said Ohoud to Egyptian Streets.

"All suspects are guilty. Period. Otherwise, they wouldn't be suspects, would they?"

Not surprising. Teach kids to be irrational and believe in a judgmental god and that's what happens. They behave that way with others. Teach them to understand others and things around them and they turn out alright. And morals don't need religion. Or a belief in god. People can recognize what morals make sense because they improve their life. Not because they fear punishment from god.

Wow there is a huge Trumping majority here.

Aren't bitcoiners supposed to be a bit against the system?

I really don't think this is going to do much good.  All the Trump supporters are prepared for any attacking you can do, they'll just see whatever ad comes out as trying to slander him since they don't have a counter to the 'real issues'.  Meanwhile all you have to do about Hillary is point a bit more attention to the emails and slowly her following will fall off after seeing what a liar she is.

I personally hate Trump, but at this point am doubting any attack from Clinton is going to do much about taking him down.  They both probably have dirt on them, but Hillary can't hold up to scrutiny like he probably can.

Let's imagine the world, where government has all the money at the beginning and we need to decide how this money can be shared with people. Do we all need to be equal? Or should our salary depend on the work we do?

Yeah we all know that AKP lapdogs are trying to push their own definition of truth. Pathetic attempts to save themselves from the deserved punishment.

After spending 18 consecutive days on the campaign trail. I thought he was suspending his campaign after some of his staff was killed in that car accident. So which one is it?

Rape is more about power than sex, in case you haven't heard and you can't really buy power at a brothel, just sex.  Also these people robbed the woman, so they're not likely going to pay for sex and probably not for power either.  

This is a topic that I completely agree with you. You can't really "categorize" an entire religion for a few people's actions.

Right now, Turkey is not a democracy. It is more like a military dictatorship. Erdoğan has only one aim, and that is to stay in power for as long as possible, so that his family can get rich from all that oil money from the ISIS, and bribes from businessmen. Unfortunately, the voters in Turkey are not intelligent enough to see through his real intentions.
