If he pushes the red button will Bernanke die?
Unfortunately no. The Bernank is a member of the Inferi redivivus and can't be killed.
Miffed:-)
Here's my tin foil hat conspiracy theory:
West pissed at East for implementing their own trade settlement system bypassing US dollars/bonds.
West attempts revenge/warning on Russia in Cyprus, trying to hurt Gazprom, etc.
West attempts revenge/warning on China via CIA release of a small batch of "bird flu".
East counters the revenge/warnings via nuke war threat using N Korean front.
West's move - on the clock.......
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang nor a wimper
But with a Fat Elvis Impersonator.
Andy Kaufman must be rotating in his grave, RIP
He no Elvis, he the guy behind Gangnam Style.

Because he is not pro-NATO.
Same for whole list - only the opponents of US/UK policies. No Romney etc... on the lists. Pure intel games.
There will be NO nuclear war... anywhere on the planet... ever again. But you have to dig deep to figure that one out. There won't even be another conventional war of any significance... ever again. Why? Ah, ask the folks who can't seem to get their F-22s, F-35s, or their X-37s in working order. And tell me... when is the last time you heard of an F-18 dropping missiles on anyone? All we have left is remote control toys for some reason... piece-of-shit drones buzzing around. Something is going on. I suggest you dig deep.
Well, those drones are really upscale target drones, and will eventually revert back when faced with a country that has aircraft for defense.
In 1914 everyone said war was impossible because of the machine gun.
minus 6 already? hahaha... c'mon... where are the rest of you negative nancy, booga booga mongers who need a good nukular threat to make you wet in the morning? Sorry to burst your negative-vibe bubbles. You'll get no war. Does that piss you off? Oh... you mean I'm being naive? I say you're being excessively gloomy. Cheer up!
the world is already at war, has been for years now.
because "news" is massively controlled, and very few people are even remotely aware/interested in "the world" - few have even noticed.
internal worlds held in the palms of hands, no inter-actions needed, this is the ultimate in solo-tude, fiddlin' with toys while everything burns.
What he really needs is a Facebook phone. Pushing a big red button to update your status is so 1963.
I would have put Cartman on the cover...
"Respect My Authori-tie."
If only his birth mother, Big Sis, had not abandoned him when he was just a few hours old...

LOL, daffy jun il... or is it, kim jun fudd?...
The banksters and globalist are salivating on a world war that will make them even more money. Besides all destruction and rebuilding.
Of course these people would have their children stay far away from any conflict.
Can you tell me please where "far away" is from a nuclear war?
See "On The Beach" again.
im going up the river seeking col kurtz please print all intel regarding silver(kurtz) massacre to me and others instead of talking shit about virtual currency out

Attention, Amelican G.I.: While you are fighting against righteous communism, Bart Simpson is at home screwing your wife!
I heard that Korea is where Saddam Hussein was storing his WMD's.
'The Mouse That Roared'........how to generate foreign aid for one's country. Surprised the Nigerians aren't onto this scam, too.
I like the Economist! * puts on flack jacket...

We already sent Dennis Rodman, next we will get Michael Jordan over there to calm his shit down. Or maybe Kobe Bryant.
There was a reason we sent Rodman over there, no matter how strange. This little dictator loves american basketball. All his Swiss classmates confirm it, and no doubt the CIA will up the ante.
I look for Michael Jordan to hit NK in the next few weeks.
Interesting concept...let's up the ante and put an NBA team in Seoul! Give The Great Genious Brilliant Young General courtside seats and a never-ending supply of of Hot Dog venders.
Cheaper than 30K military troops and equipment...
No whammies, no whammies, no whammies.....STOP!

The Red Button is the "Screw Central Banksters" button.
What do you call a fat chink?
Answer: A chunk
Go screw you fat korean douche!
It's the "Send in the next pizza" button.
Hey Fat Korean leader....PUSH THE FUCKIN BUTTON! You have NO BALLS if you DONT!
This purpose built hamster looking monster might have painted himself in a corner where the only alternatives are:
1. War
2. Some group of China backed senior officers go all "night of the long knives" on everyone in his whole disgusting dynasty.
The first alternative likely leads to the second alternative anyway.
China's mobilization is about keeping all the starving Norks on the their side of the border rather than helping that fat faced twerp upset the apple cart.
They're hip (Norks) to the Chinese, they go waaaay back.
China would love for us to do their dirty work the Norks are their problem not ours, America is several nukes away from China.
Look at the Middle East and Africa, China has zero force projection, we are their force projection and they have zero force projection cabability none, nada, zippo.
Should the locals ever turn on their Chinese masters in Africa they'd get annihilated without our air-cover protection and the Chinese know this.
"Is this cake?"
Say you send a clown to North Korea. Call him 'Dennis Rodman'. Nobody takes him seriously, so it will look like a circus act by an attention-hound. Send along a serious guy in the Rodman party, who clues Lil' Kim to rattle them sabres real hard, I need a crisis so I can look like a President. I'll take care of you later, concessions, etc.
Send another notable, call him 'Eric Schmidt', to get the confirmation of the plan from Lil' Kim that he will raise the tensions to nutty levels.
I mean, were those two trips just random coincidental trips by bored celebrities? The WH/State/CIA didn't know? Yeah, right.
The NK boy-king is throwing a temper tantrum. Send him to his room.
Where is Banzai, that Asian gambler needs alcohol, a cigarette and some eastern European whores at his side!

"Insert Coin"
This pisses me off. The US is really going to try to bomb its way out of its crisis.
I hope the American people see through this and stop this madness.
We don't want the centenary of WWII to be WWIII.
The U.S. has already dropped two nuclear bombs in Asia. It's understandable that it's afraid of blowback.
Southeast Asia occupation has been too long. This is a partial footprint of the United States of America in the region: http://imgur.com/ePJlQcz
Another rogue nation fakes the US into spending hundreds of millions more of military spending money we don't have. They do not want to fight us, they want to bankrupt us. If they wreck our economy it weakens us to their levels. So they send very little on retoric and suicide boneheads and we retaliate with large costly operations.
All the ZH trolls have come out on this one. Fuck you trolls. We can see you. You're pathetic.
