North Korea to Restart Nuclear Weapons Plant

North Korea vowed Tuesday to bolster its nuclear deterrent and boycott six-party talks aimed at its denuclearization in protest of a U.N. Security Council statement condemning the country’s recent rocket launch.

North Korea’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement that it “resolutely condemns” the action by the United Nations, which it said “rampantly” infringes upon the country’s sovereignty and “severely debases” the people’s dignity.

“We have no choice but to further strengthen our nuclear deterrent to cope with additional military threats by hostile forces,” the statement said.

The statement also said that “six-party talks that we are taking part in are not necessary any more.”

Those negotiations, which also involve China, Japan, Russia, South Korea and the United States, began in 2003 and have been aimed at achieving North Korea’s denuclearization.

The North also said it will restore nuclear facilities it has been disabling in line with an international disarmament-for-aid deal negotiated under the six-party process and resume operating them.

    This targeting of Americans under the profiling of “right-wing extremists” is absolutely repulsive and needs to be retracted. With 48% of the population having voted for John McCain, this demonizes half the US population – which is likely the intent? This is the equivalent of racial profiling of blacks or the profiling people of middle-eastern origin. This action is something I’d expected from Mao Zedong not the United States of America – and I’m outraged.

    Someone needs to be fired over this.

    Obama’s appointees to this office need to spend time on profiling real terrorists, specifically Islamists and Mexican/South American drug dealers rather than conservatives. This is nothing more than an effort by the administration to silence people who disagree with this administrations’ extravagant spending and criticism of the use of OUR taxpayer dollars.

    Homeland Security is becoming more and more political rather than looking out for AMERICANS’ rights as defined in the constitution, and protecting Americans. We have a right to protest; it is called freedom of speech, the 1st ammendment to the Constitution of the United States of America.

  3. Rich Richey says:

    The Homeland Security assessment published 7 April 2009 used the phrase “rightwing extremism” or “rightwing extremist” 39 times.

    For those who presume to govern us, there are four vastly more significant threats:

    1) “We the People” are the government ordained by our Constitution and we resent the usurpation of our authority by the current temporary employees in Washington.

    2) Those of us who have borne arms swore to defend the Constitution “against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” We meant it then and we mean it now. All that remains is to realize the definition.

    3) There is a growing awareness among the thinking public that the actions of the current administration wantonly flout the strictures of our most precious fundamental laws.

    4) We will help suppress the domestic terrorists, but when we are shorn of enough of our liberties to sense that the very existence of America is in jeopardy, we—all of us—will rise like a mighty tide. It may be slow to rise, but it will be inexorable. And those sponsors of “Chains we can believe in” will be drowned. The teapot tempests of “rightwing extremism” will pale by comparison.

    Awake, America! Your country is being stolen while you sleep.

    How about the left wing extremist we had to face during the elections. How about the hate group Acorn? How about the hate monger George Soras, is he on watch? How about Pelosi, Reid, Kennedy, any of the late night hate talk shows? My country is a democratic one based on capitalism and not socialism. Socialism has killed some 100 million people, that is true terrorism. There is no nice socialism. It is dependent on the sacrifice of the individual for the better good of the state. The state should be dependent on the prosperity of the individual.

    It is simple minded guys like the American taliban member Adam Gadahn that hamper the peace process. Instead of trying to make a plan where every one is happy, they get in the mix and probably don’t really understand the deep rooted issue at hand. I hope the powers that be (The United States) revoke his citizenship permanently. I say that because some slime ball lawyer, I’m sure will be eager to represent him once he gets caught and he will try to use his rights as an American citizen to weasel his way out of his inevitable situation.

    I hope he does not die, but rather get caught and spend the rest of his usless life rotting away. I’m done…that’s my temporary 2 cents.
