Mr Warmbier said when they saw his son he was "moving around, and jerking violently, making these howling and inhuman sounds".
His head was shaved, he was blind and deaf, his arms and legs were "totally deformed" and he had a huge scar on his foot, he said. It "looked like someone had taken a pair of pliers and rearranged his bottom teeth".
"Otto was systematically tortured and intentionally injured by Kim and his regime. This was no accident," said Mr Warmbier.

But it's been disputed by the coroner who examined the body.
From the same story you linked to

The Cincinnati Enquirer said it had obtained a copy of a coroner's report on Otto Warmbier, based on an external examination, which revealed several small scars but nothing which indicated torture.
The paper quoted the Hamilton County coroner as saying Mr Warmbier's teeth were "natural and in good repair" and that he appeared to have died from brain damage caused by a lack of oxygen.

We need to be extremely careful about propaganda as tensions escalate before a possible war.

Haven't read the link (can only imagine), but surprised that nonsense of a website waterfordwhispers is still in existence. Occasionally vaguely funny, but more often than not, a very daft Adwords revenue stream.

As part of the armistice in 1953, the North Koreans pledged to hand back 60,000 South Korean prisoners of war.
They handed back none.
Furthermore, they deported them all to the North Eastern part of the country where presumably any survivors live today.
I'd say they have enjoyed an idyllic existence.
Tea and toast served in bed every morning, I have no doubt?

Speaking of NK, it seems BTCUSD has taken a bit of a surge past 24hrs 5%+, Breaking $4,000.
One guess would be that Kim is moving assets to CC (high volumes across Jap, SK, US etc).

5,000 is possible, and some think it could tap out at 6,000 <1mth, but...



...strangely gold is down, and one very good Oracle I follow, opposes all analysts forecasts and predicts a BTCN exposé with price crash.

We are pleased to announce that the next take-off from Pyongyang, NK may be diplomatic not intercontinental.

So...does this mean there is going to be a war or not

Nothing is going to tell you that until the war actually happens. Wait and watch the news... you'll know when the news reports start chattering about military strikes actually occurring. Everything else is just gossip. :rolleyes:

The BTCN surge could mean various things:

i) (Like gold), cryptos are favored by those who have a deep distrust of fiat currency, or paper money.
ii) It's blockchain technology, an electronic ledger that cannot be altered.
iii) Every transaction is anonymous and peer-to-peer.
iv) The system is entirely decentralized and democratic.
v) No monetary authority can see who owns what and where money is flowing.

If Kim's looking for a safe-haven for value (on the back of the meal-tokens of his millions of subjects), he can either buy gold or this, his favourite CC:BTCN. (Also his favorite method of ransomware payment). So maybe too, update your av-software.

If it, or gold continues on 5-10% day surges, maybe invest in a hard-hat and iodine if traveling that way.

Thankfully its all gone very quiet in the last few days. The calm before the storm, or have Trump & Kim Jong got it out of their systems?

A British military think tank, which according to the report represents the views of the British military, is pretty blunt in its view that Britain should "disown" the United States in the case of a first strike by Trump. Hopefully that view is shared by the politicians.

Probably not. The Tories are only concerned about a potential trade deal with the US. Something already demonstrated to be unlikely given what’s just happened at Bombardier.

However, I would be sure they’ll quite happily send some canon fodder over.

There will be no "cannon fodder" in terms of boots on the ground. We will though see some bombers and fighters shot down in the biggest bombing campaign since WW2.

The cannon fodder will be South Koreans. So no worries.

So saying that a nation of people is under threat because of two egotistical clowns is "racist"? You're just being silly now.

The 10th and 18th October seem to be key dates for the North Koreans.

Provocation from NK possible this evening. ICBM said to be moved to launch site in west of country. USAF ballistic missile detection aircraft said to be in the air now (same last night apparently) and SK aircraft too.

I would imagine those missile detection planes are busy all the time at the moment.
