Schrodinger’s Bomb: A Conspiracy Of Complacency

The North Korean state media claimed yesterday they tested a hydrogen bomb. Seismic data suggests they did in fact test a nuclear weapon, but it had nowhere near the strength of a hydrogen bomb —and was even a bit less powerful than their previous test in 2013.

What is not being reported in the mainstream media is that while this weapons test is being downplayed as too small to be a threat, it has now taken a surprising turn.

It has become a sort of Schrödinger’s cat scenario where the claim of detonation has been made. A man-made earthquake happened after the underground test and now, North Korea’s self-named Hydrogen Bomb of Justice is either real or not real.

It is like asking is the radioactive cat in the box dead or is it alive?

North Korean saber rattling has always been over the top. I think Many Americans recall threats where North Korea had vowed to turn the United States into a ‘sea of fire’ and there was barely a response from Washington; which is similar to an analogy that was offered by friend of mine saying it’s akin to an “ant threatening to move an eggplant.”

North Korea with all of their propagandists were able to create pitiful You Tube videos showing the United States on fire, complete with an instrumental version of “We Are The World” in the back ground, which is comically ironic because the song was written by Americans.

However now, things are getting very weird. There seems to be a sense or ennui about what is happened and so due to North Korea’s ties to Iran there appears to be a conspiracy of complacency with this latest nuclear test.

Iran’s current missile technology cannot safely handle a real nuclear weapon of the size of which could do damage to its neighbors or the United States. However we are fully aware that they are capable of building and may well already have in their possession a device capable of generating an EMP.

This is why Iran has partnered with North Korea in joint Nuclear Weapons Development and miniaturization and also a joint effort to develop their ballistic missile program. It’s all about creating, better, faster, and more powerful weapons right under our noses.

In what appears to be a hollow gesture of hand slapping, the UN Security Council has vowed to pursue new sanctions against North Korea.

In an emergency session, the council strongly condemned the nuclear test and said it would begin working immediately on a new resolution against Pyongyang, whose nuclear test claim sparked a global outcry even as some officials and experts voiced doubts over its validity.

I believe that the doubts are premature and hear is why.

In August of last year, James Woolsey former director of the Central Intelligence Agency, and Peter Vincent Pry, executive director of the EMP Task Force on National and Homeland Security, told the Washington Times that Iran or North Korea could obtain a low yield nuclear device relatively easily.

He indicated that Iran could actually covertly cheat within their nuclear agreement with us in the use of the nuclear infrastructure in North Korea to obtain a low yield bomb for purposes of an EMP strike.

Last month, Kim Jong-un, who is frequently laughed at by the United States, threatened that Turkey will be nuked by Pyongyang if Ankara takes action against Russia. It has been reported outside of the United States that Kim Jong-un has warned that if Turkey confronts Russia or lends support to ISIS in Syria and Iraq, it will come under nuclear attacks by North Korea, according to a Lebanese news agency. The North Korean leader has also promised to wipe Turkey off the map if Ankara takes part in the Syrian war and cooperates with the US and helps ISIS.

That North Korea has talked about regional conflicts such as Iraq and Syria which are battling a war against ISIS, can be viewed as Pyongyang’s support for Russia in the fight against terrorism, sources say.

Another weird turn is that the antics of North Korea may be acting against the interests of China —and, as the United Nations gives its response, the Chinese have turned against North Korea.

The Chinese regime is North Korea’s main backer, providing it with supplies and support; China also has a veto in the U.N. Security Council.

In most cases, the Chinese regime’s response to North Korean threats doesn’t go much further than empty condemnations. But things may be different this time, as North Korea has recently been biting the hand that feeds it.

In mid-December of last year, China sent a lower-ranking delegation to protest Kim Jong-un’s claims he had a hydrogen bomb, and Kim didn’t take kindly to the snub. So he allegedly put the Chinese ambassador to North Korea under investigation.

Relations between North Korea and the Chinese regime were already shaky before that. North Korea has been on a pseudo witch hunt in an “emergency investigation” for what it believes are Chinese spies.

Last October, there was a reported that North Korea arrested or executed more than 100 Chinese nationals.

For the Chinese regime, the timing of the recent nuclear test couldn’t have been worse.

While North Korea likes to threaten the United States, it’s really only a regional threat —mainly to South Korea and Japan.

Facing increasing hostilities from China, Japan passed a new defense policy in September 2015 that will allow its troops to fight overseas for the first time since World War II. It also recently passed a record $41.4 billion defense budget for fiscal year 2016/2017.

What Japan’s shift in defense policy lacked, however, was popular support among the public and North Korea may have just changed that to some degree by creating a very visible threat to the Japanese people.

The Chinese regime is now facing a similar issue with South Korea. Much to the dismay of the regime, South Korea has recently been negotiating with the United States to build a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system in the country.

South Korea has generally been growing closer to China, diplomatically. Seoul views the Chinese regime as an intermediary to negotiate with North Korea—and it still wasn’t certain if it would install the THAAD system and risk relations with China.

But the recent nuclear test in North Korea may have also just changed this —and its possible South Korea may now go through with the plan.

Meanwhile, the debate over whether or not the nuclear test was a hydrogen bomb or not is actually not what is important here. What is important is that the press are reporting that “experts” are dismissing the claims of a hydrogen bomb because of the apparent yield. They are saying this explosion was like the other 3 nuclear tests which have the power of 10 kilotons or less.

The “experts” and the general public associate H-Bombs, with very high-yields, equivalent to megatons of TNT.

They are downplaying the event but they should not be too hasty.

As outlined by James Woolsey last August, enhanced radiation weapons such as Super-EMP weapons are essentially very low-yield H-Bombs, that typically have yields of 1-10 kilotons, just like the North Korean device. North Korea as a matter of course exaggerates its military and technological accomplishments—but we may want to stop and wonder if Kim Jong-un could be telling the truth.

Whatever happened during this test, the device appeared to have emitted a similar yield to previous North Korean tests, which means it might have been a single-stage test that North Korea is lying about or it is a hydrogen bomb that was being tested for its low yield EMP possibilities.

The bomb while apparently being low yield could have been “boosted” using added Tritium. Tritium is a radioactive isotope that is also known as Hydrogen 3. Tritium when added to a nuclear bomb makes it more energetic by boosting the amount of fissile material which goes through the chain reaction. This creates a bigger explosion. It is still lower than thermonuclear-level explosion.

So in essence and in a matter of speaking, the use of tritium would also be consistent with North Koreas claim of using a hydrogen bomb.

I know that this explanation may sound like a stretch but traces of tritium, used in the H-Bomb, have been detected in some North Korean low-yield tests, consistent with the creation of a Super-EMP weapon.

North Korea’s access to tritium is harder to obtain than deuterium and other H-Bomb fuels, which indicates these bombs are more sophisticated than commonly credited in the West, or they are getting help from someone to create these weapons.

Like perhaps, Iran.

Iran and North Korea are strategic partners pledged by treaty to share scientific and military technology. Iranian scientists reportedly have been present at North Korean nuclear tests. And North Korean scientists are in Iran, helping them develop long-range missiles. We all know that mice like North Korea have been known to roar. However, we now live in times of evolutionary warfare where a “mouse” like North Korea can team up with another mouse like Iran to try and fool the cat and then turn it to charcoal.

The question of whether or not the cat is dead or alive won’t matter at that point.
