North Korea is mobilizing for a long, drawn-out war

On a day when the United Nations said that the nuclear weapons problem is getting worse in North Korea, it was revealed that North Korea has been mobilized for war since April.

North Korea, which is believed to posess several nuclear weapons, poses the greatest nuclear threat to the world, according to Mohamed ElBaradei, the head of the United Nations International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

"I hope we can start to move on the Korean issue, which is the number one proliferation threat we are facing," he said.

In that context, a South Korean newspaper has published a leaked 31-page law, published on April 7, signed by President Kim Jong-il, ordering the Workers' Party, the military, and all officials to assume wartime readiness. The document is entitled, "Central Military Committee of the Workers' Party Order 002."

The police and intelligence authorities were ordered to install command centers in underground tunnels around the nation. North Korea is konwn to have an extended network of underground tunnels dating back to the Korean War of the 1950s, and they're believed to have around 8,200 underground facilities, including 180 munitions factories. The new command centers would be hidden from American spy satellites and reconnaisance planes.

In addition, the directive also calls for the recruitment of spies living in South Korea from "revolutionary organizations" that sympathize with Stalinist North Korea and believe that South Korea should be "liberated."

This part of the directive is causing some debate among South Koreans, as to whether the document was leaked on purpose for propaganda purposes. However, South Korea's National Intelligence Service said in a one-sentence statement: "We believe the document reflects North Korea's wartime preparations."

From the point of view of Generational Dynamics, North Korea's actions are consistent with what's going on in the rest of the world. There is a worldwide mobilization for war going on, in preparation for the coming "Clash of Civilizations" world war. In Japan, China, Russia, Pakistan, America, and other countries, laws are being passed and directives are being issued that give additional powers to the country's leaders to defend against threats of terrorism or invasion.

These countries are all moving in the direction of asserting national rights over individual rights. The reason that all of these countries are moving in this direction at the same time is because we're at a unique time in history, about 60 years after the end of World War II, when every country is experiencing the same generational change at the same time: The people in the generation that fought in WW II are all disappearing (retiring or dying) all at once, and are being replaced by the people in the generation born after WW II.

As I've described in the discussion of the six most dangerous regions of the world, the time may not be too far off when a regional war in one of these regions will trigger a much wider war that will engulf America and the world. (06-Jan-05) Permanent Link
