    OK, industrial strength tinfoil needed for this one...
    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.

    What would be the point of a blackout? According to most people the US will go to war over the slightest incident...

    I can hardly see the president taking blame (political hit) for a situation caused by a supposed aggressor...

    what's stranger about this whole situation (or maybe not) is why NK would deny firing the torpedo at SK warship when they already threatened to nuke the US a month earlier...

    anyway, the US economy is falling apart, no better time to start another war.
