It sounds far fetched doesn’t it. Yet it’s true. Hundreds of armed Filipino fighters have crossed the into the Malaysian state of Sabah. What’s that you say, you didn’t read about this in the New York Times or NPR, well how bizarre. The media black out in the West is deeply unsettling. One would think that hundreds of well armed militants from a staunch US ally (Philippines) invading a neighboring country would warrant at least a little of coverage. Sadly though it seems that this is not the case. As with most geopolitical events such as this it is the alternative media which is at the forefront reporting. Along with actually reporting that the invasion actually took place, Land Destroyer has also provided the analysis of why this has happened. As with most of the recent conflicts around the world, Syria, Mali, Libya, Congo, the US is once again using a proxy force to destabilize a nation it wishes to absorb into its imperialist control. As with most US destabilizations Al Qaeda is the proxy force contracted by the United States through our Saudi friends. As Land Destroyer points out Malaysia’s friendly relationship with Russia, Iran, and especially China has put it on Americas destabilization list. God forbid that China have good relations with a fellow Asian nation. Any attempt at that is viewed here as some attempt to control the world and usurp the title of world police from America. China of course has absolutely no desire to become the world police. That is the prerogative of the United States. The invasions timing also deserves scrutiny. Just as in Mali Malaysia is due to hold elections soon. Elections that Anwar Ibrahim, the western puppet we have been trying to put in power, said would be decided in both Sarawak and Sabha. Like in Mali this is no coincidence. Ibrahim and his western backers will use the “terrorists” as an election issue.
Please spread the word as to what is happening in Malaysia. The more exposure the imperialist agenda revives the more unlikely they are to succeed.
This is a clip from a recent documentary on the new North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. It was aired on state TV, and is supposed to coincide with his birthday. So far Kim Jong-un’s career has been dominated by a constant stream of propaganda. No one is quite sure if Kim Jong-un will actually start running the country. It is slowly being to emerge that the young Kim is ostensibly a figure head. So we can certainly expect a continued flow of these wonderfully terrifying videos of the Great Successor.
It seems that yet again another major institution, U.S. Chamber of Commerce, has been infiltrated by Chinese hackers. Earlier in the year a string of major hacking incidents targeted everyone from the Taiwanese government to Google, and even the International Olympic Committee. All of these cyber attacks were alleged to have been perpetrated by some entity within China. It is believed that there was some degree of state sponsorship from the Chinese government in conjunction with the attacks. The Wall Street Journal reports that the hackers had access to the Chamber of Commerce for at least two full years. The Wall Street Journal quotes the chief operating officer David Chavern as saying the hacker was “…clearly somebody very sophisticated, who knew exactly who we are and who targeted specific people and used sophisticated tools to try to gather intelligence.”
The most dangerous aspect of this cyber attack is the total lack of protection against hacking here in America. We are constantly told of how cyber warfare is going to be the next frontier; well that frontier is here already. America is losing the cyber war so far. There is a definite hacking gap between us and the Chinese. We might be caught fighting the last war with our pants down, again.
We have our first glimpse of Kim Jung-un in action. Attending his fathers funeral today, the twenty something year old looked bewildered and overwlemed. Attempting to control the story North Korea has sealed off the borders. And as the Christian Science Monitor reports, the North is not allowing in any foreign delegations. CSM also reports that South Korea views the unfolding situation as evidence of the North’s instability.
So where is Kim Jung Un? The Dear Leader Kim Jong il is now dead, and has left North So where is the Kim Jung Un? The Dear Leader Kim Jong il is now dead, and has left North Korea to his son. Yet thus far we have neither seen nor heard from him. Understandably so Kim Jong Un is probably suffering from those new dictator jitters. This unpleasant condition is most commonly associated with having to assume power over a repressive closed regime, formerly ruled by your megalomaniac father. For a scenario that must have been well rehearsed, you would think that they would want to get the new guy out there in front of the cameras and kissing babies. Although it shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise that Kim il Un is not out in the lime light just yet.
Until about three years ago no one even knew of the existence of the Kim Jung Il’s youngest son. Since his existence has been made known, the heir apparent has only had two years of training to be ruler. This is greatly contrasted with his father who had over a decade on day to day work within the regime to his son. Yet thus far we have neither seen nor heard from him.

This is greatly contrasted with his father who had over a decade of day to day experience working within the regime prior to taking over. With such a sparse resume it is a widely held belief that Kim Jong Un’s uncle, Jang Sung Taek, will act as regent; controlling things from behind the scenes. With no one reporting from the country, and very little in the way of diplomatic access, it will be very difficult to really know what is going on inside the country.
