As we detailed earlier...
A 5.1-magnitude earthquake detected near North Korea’s nuclear test site appears to have been artificial, according to South Korea’s meteorological service, raising the prospect the isolated regime tested a nuclear device. As Bloomberg reports, the "earthquake" follows North Korea’s threat in September that it is ready to use atomic weapons against the U.S. at any time and that its main nuclear facility was fully operational. The Pentagon is reportedly "looking into" the quake reports.
Coincidence?
As AP reports,
South Korean officials detected an "artificial earthquake" near North Korea's main nuclear test site Wednesday, a strong indication that nuclear-armed Pyongyang had conducted its fourth atomic test. North Korea said it planned an "important announcement" later Wednesday.
A confirmed test would mark another big step toward Pyongyang's goal of building a warhead that can be mounted on a missile capable of reaching the U.S. mainland.
The U.S. Geological Survey measured the magnitude of the seismic activity at 5.1 on its website. An official from the Korea Metrological Administration, South Korea's weather agency, said it believed the earthquake was caused artificially based on their analysis of the seismic waves and that it originated 49 kilometers (30 miles) north of Kilju, the northeastern area where North Korea's main nuclear test site is located. The country conducted all three previous atomic detonations there.
South Korean government officials couldn't immediately confirm whether a nuclear blast or natural earthquake had taken place.
North Korea conducted its third nuclear test in February 2013.
Another test would further North Korea's international isolation by prompting a push for new, tougher sanctions at the United Nations and worsening Pyongyang's already bad ties with Washington and its neighbors.
Pyongyang is thought to have a handful of crude nuclear weapons. The United States and its allies worry about North Korean nuclear tests because each new blast brings the country closer to perfecting its nuclear arsenal.
Since the elevation of young leader Kim Jong Un in 2011, North Korea has ramped up angry rhetoric against the leaders of allies Washington and Seoul and the U.S.-South Korean annual military drills it considers invasion preparation.

South Korea is responding:
“We are checking whether this is indeed a nuclear test or something else,” said a spokesman of the South’s Defense Ministry, who spoke on customary condition of anonymity.
- *S. KOREA TO CONVENE NATIONAL SECURITY MEETING AT 12PM: YONHAP
- *BOK TO HOLD MEETING AT 2 P.M. LOCAL TIME TO DISCUSS N. KOREA

It appears Kim has had enough playing second geopolitical pain-in-the-ass fiddle to Syria so decided to get back in the headlines.
Ironic really after Kim Jong-Un's "fabulous" year.
Various twitter sources report that North Korea is due to make an "important announcement" at 2230ET.

I think that Kim Jong Un just reached the end of his allotted time on Earth. Maybe the movie "The Interview" wasn't that far from the truth.
Whoever helped N. Korea do this - pretty good guess who that might be - needs to have a stick of dynamite shoved up their plumbing. Sheer human stupidity.
If this continues ... kiss the Earth goodbye.
Better send in Seth Rogen.
And/or Katy Perry.
So where are the pics of Un designing, building and firing the nuke? I am jealous. I want a couple of those suckers. I dare my neighbors or the TX cops or Lousiana to try and fuck with me then. /s
Building a thermonuclear weapon in the privacy of your own home.

Thinking of farts in the wind I wonder where the long range wind patterns are tracking?
My gut feeling now this was a dud, it had the same seismic scale as the last one. A few of the monitors at Yellowstone picked it up not all if it was a big one. Oh well back to the drawing board boys.
Used to be that you could buy atomic bombs out of the back of old comic books...Kim Jong UN pro'ly has a back issue of Sgt. Rock and made a phone call.
I got the free buffalo nickel. But I am still waiting for my DIY hover craft kit to arrive.
Ho Lee Fuk. Bang Ding Ow. They are going to blow themselves to smithereens.
put out an All Points Bulletin. We need Dennis Rodman - and we need him NOW.
Get some plastic explosive, shape it like an athletic cup, stick it in Rodman's underwear, and put him on a plane to Pyongyang.
Let's get the ball rolling ... before North Korea learns how to make an aircraft carrier from pretzels and rubber bands.
Drop mccain with geiger counter to the bomb site.
Just in time for the US presidential election year. Barry ain't leaving.
What a relief. At least it wasn't a Matter-Antimatter explosion.
Can they also enter negotiations with the POTUS? Or will Elon Musk negotiate with them for a Hydrogen fuel cell for his cars? It'll be a blast.
North Korea is another red country deliberately put by design by elite cabal globalist gang so that the people would have the illusion of positive and negative, the idea of extreme, conditioning us when the term Nuclear, Piongiang, NK, Tension between SK and Japan our mind already alerts as if we know for sure NK is capable of destroying America or its arch neighbor or war.
I have no regard for such government whose sole purpose is the will of its masters,aka no need to name here.Sad for the such country's people where divide and concur is in action on SK and NK.
Do anyone seriously believe such country have in-reached Nuclear, and so many advanced tech weaponry alone without the support of the dark cabal secret group? And its successful test is already in the mainstream media 24/7.
Found me dumb.When i hear NK and its puppet teenage leader i usually smiled and turn the channel.You are telling me this dude is GOD in that country ,fucking retard.
How about Sorya developed ballistic cruise missile that reaches USA, how the west propaganda machine reacts.
There is no country that is not sold out except few one who are in struggle to keep it,no name here also figure out.
Their delivery device is a Yak with a bad back.
As long as there are economic sanctions to make sure these dictator countries are poor, I am not scare of them a bit. As long as we don't invade them, they don't do shit to us. When we ever a terrorist attack from North Korea or Zimbawae??
Pakistan??
First, it needs to be confirmed. It could be one of the 8 old nukes. It's not like NK has any habit of telling the truth on anything.
Second, I am going to posit a rationale in the spirit of conspiracies. NK does not do much of anything without China's knowledge. They may not always do exactly what China wants but China is their lifeline, especially for food and fuel. China wants a distraction from the S. China sea operations, this would be the best way.
I am not sure NK could even do a hydrogen bomb without lots of help from China or perhaps Pakistan.
Je Suis Kim Jong un !
Kim Jong un - The self proclaimed protector of the East China Sea - Thank GOD he is FUCKING out there !
It works like this . A country can invade and destabilize 50 or 60 countries in the last 70 years and the idiots from the Insecurity Council will say nothing . A country instead announces a hidrogen bomb test and now the Insecurity Council is to meet to discuss this event . Where was the Insecurity Coumcil when Libya was invaded and when Syria was destabilized ? FOCK the Insecurity Coumcil .
The big Obama plays golf. This guy whips out a thermo nuclear Hydrogen bomb and blows it up after test ban treaty... Hmmm.
Don't underestimate Kim Un's balls. This shit is fucking awesome! I imagine the device was scrounged up from storebought items from the "Family Dollar", but it just goes to show that you can learn a lot from Wikipedia.
And let us not forget that the false earthquake was not due to any detonation of any device. It was Kim Un busting a load in his woman's mouth during the "event". The shot heard round the world...
Kim, dude, you really have some flair. Welcome to the Fun House!
If anyone has a mandate from heaven to destabalize and defend his turf it's Kim. He's a mushroom cloud laying mother fucker. He's a boss.
You worked hard on this post, yet still failed miserably.
Anytime you think of Hillary, think of Kim Jong-Un because they obviously use the same fashion designer.

Kim needs money. Same strategy his father and grand father used. Just act out and the west will pay them off time after time.
BUT< BUT>>>>
Isn't gun cuntrol the biggest deal ??????
It was reported that Kim Jong-Un himself lit the fuse, ran away, and covered his ears.
I think you are all missing the point. Bureau 121 would be able to steal blue prints from all over the world in a few short weeks. A few months later and hey presto. You have a working <<INSERT TECHNOLOGY HERE>> I bet they are making Super Ultra HD TV's in the factorys with the blue prints they stole from LG.
A minority report to keep in mind: Major Ed Dames remote viewers saw a nuclear explosion on the Korean peninsula as a time marker before the solar killshot.
Not worth believing in, but keep it in mind.
Prep.
Making a hydrogen bomb is easy; getting Fed Ex to deliver it, NOW that's a problem!....
They also plan on making this list with their weapon the world hasn't yet seen.

What's the bet that the test was a dud ... and nobody inside N. Korea told the truth to Comrade Kim Jong-Bomb.
A 5.1 seismic activity probably indicates a standard nuke test ... it's similar to what they did before. If this test was supposed to be a hydrogen bomb, my guess is that it's a big friggin' failure. But I bet you that the scientists and military advisors in N. Korea aren't going to say this to their glorified leader. Who wants to get shot to pieces with an AAA-gun?? So the cronies told Tubby what he wanted to hear .. the test was a big success! And Kim Jong-Bomb actually believes this.
Unless, of course, he reads Zero Hedge.
Maybe he does read ZeroHedge. If I was a North Korean nuke advisor, I would be paddling my rowboat across the Yellow Sea as fast as possible ...anything that put distance between me and the Rotund Fearless Leader.
