North Korean Earthquake A Nuke Test Or Manufacturing Consent For War?

in #news7 years ago

  
 

An earthquake detected earlier this month in North Korea was widely  reported as a nuclear test with the possibility of it having been a  successful test of a hydrogen bomb. But there are some strange facts  surrounding the supposed test that need to be questioned especially  after North Korea experienced yet another earthquake today, this one with only a magnitude of 3.4.

For  example, the second tremor that was detected after the initial  earthquake, the location of the quake site in relation to a highly  active "super volcano" on the border between North Korea and China, the  high level of seismic activity in the region and who was reporting that  the quake was a blast.   

The  location of the supposed North Korean test site, is approximately 70  miles from a highly active "super volcano" called Mount Paektu. Earlier this year, experts warned of a possible eruption of the volcano  which last erupted in 946 AD and left a 5 km caldera; one of the most  devastating eruptions in human history. The most recent tremor was  deemed to have a sound-wave of a natural volcano, according to China.

The  entire Ring of Fire, of which the Korean peninsula lies on the outer  edge, has been experiencing serious seismic activity as of late,  including Mexico, which has also experienced another earthquake of a 6.1  magnitude on-top of the two others that occurred over the past two  weeks including a 7.1 magnitude quake which devastated Mexico City.  Japan and it's neighbor Taiwan have also seen a bunch of earthquakes  ranging anywhere from 4.5 to a 6.1 magnitude earthquake that struck off the coast  near the epicenter of the disastrous 9.0 magnitude quake that caused  the tsunami and subsequent Fukushima nuclear plant crisis, that still  has not been fully contained.   

All this seismic activity in the Ring of Fire  begs the question, "Was there really a North Korean nuclear test at all  or was it just Mount Paektu flexing its tectonic muscle?" If it wasn't a  nuclear test that caused the earthquakes on September 3rd, then what is  happening to the Pacific plate and is there cause for concern? And if  there was, was it a contributing factor to all these earthquakes?

So, as U.S. bombers stages a show of force of the coast of North Korea, we do know, is that governments (and the mainstream media,  for that matter) can hardly be trusted these days, especially after its  clear that the government and the military industrial complex used the  media to lie us into wars in the past, as demonstrated with the invasion  and occupation of Iraq which lasted more than a decade, took thousand  of soldiers lives and hundreds of thousands of civilian lives.
