Beijing suspects false flag attack on South Korean corvette

Vatic Note: I FORGOT TO MENTION:  REMEMBER, EVERY SINGLE WORLD WAR THIS CENTURY WAS STARTED WITH A FALSE FLAG AND IT APPEARS THAT WILL BE THE CASE THIS TIME WITH SO KOREA AND MAYBE EVEN NO KOREA COOPERATING.  TELL YOUR LISTS "DO NOT COOPERATE" WITH ANY MOVE TOWARD WORLD WAR.   They can only do this if we,  the millions of fodder bodies,  agree to fight & die for their agenda.  DON'T DO  IT, IT HAS TO STOP SOMEWHERE, HOW ABOUT NOW.. 

I suspected it was a false flag, but was not sure.   No Korea has been getting along very well with South Korea all these many years and it was the reason we reduced our troops in the area in the demarcation zone, and they decide to start a war for no reason???  Didn't make any sense.  Heck even Rumsfeld was involved in giving No Korea what it needed to build its nuclear power plants when he was on the board of directors for a Swiss company that supplied those nukes to No Korea.  So the only thing that made any sense to me was "Zbig's book"  The grand chessboard, where No Korea was "set up" to be a target back in 1997 for his "EMPIRE BUILDING"  and surrounding Russia and China.  Now this confirms it and I have to say Wayne Matson is having a bumper crop year of stories that have panned out.  He has excellent sources within the system and they are turning out to be very very credible.  Don't forget Bush's speak on the "AXIS OF EVIL"  and that tells you how long this has been on the table with the "set up" man Bush setting it all up and now Obama is the hammer, he and his little playmate in the gay bathhouse, Rahm Emmanual are trying to bring down the hammer and failing at it miserably.   LOL  Sorry, couldn't resist.  Remember, they need us to support them in any war they decide to start..... and we must not play along.  If there is to be any war, I will say it again, IT MUST BE AGAINST THE BANKERS AND ISRAEL WORLDWIDE,  No one else.  And the entire world must turn inward toward these satanist pedophiles and go after them for good and forever.   

Beijing suspects false flag attack on South Korean corvette

WMR's intelligence sources in Asia suspect that the March attack on the South Korean Navy anti-submarine warfare (ASW) corvette, the Cheonan, was a false flag attack designed to appear as coming from North Korea.



One of the main purposes for increasing tensions on the Korean peninsula was to apply pressure on Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama to reverse course on moving the U.S. Marine Corps base off Okinawa. Hatoyama has admitted that the tensions over the sinking of the Cheonan played a large part in his decision to allow the U.S. Marines to remain on Okinawa. Hatoyama's decision has resulted in a split in the ruling center-left coalition government, a development welcome in Washington, with Mizuho Fukushima, the Social Democratic Party leader threatening to bolt the coalition over the Okinawa reversal.

The Cheonan was sunk near Baengnyeong Island, a westernmost spot that is far from South Korean coast, but opposite the North Korean coast. The island is heavily militarized and within artillery fire range of NorthKorean coastal defenses, which lie across a narrow channel.

The Cheonan, an ASW corvette, was decked out with state-of-the-art sonar, plus it was operating in waters with extensive hydrophone sonar arrays and acoustic underwater sensors. There is no South Korean sonar or audio evidence of a torpedo, submarine or mini-sub in the area. Since there is next to no shipping in the channel, the sea was silent at the time of the sinking.

However, Baengnyeong Island hosts a joint US-South Korea military intelligence base and the US Navy SEALS operate out of the base. In addition, four U.S. Navy ships were in the area, part of the joint U.S-South Korean Exercise Foal Eagle, during the sinking of the Cheonan. An investigation of the suspect torpedo's metallic and chemical fingerprints show it to be of German manufacture. There are suspicions that the US Navy SEALS maintains a sampling of European torpedoes for sake of plausible deniability for false flag attacks. Also, Berlin does not sell torpedoes to North Korea, however, Germany does maintain a close joint submarine and submarine weapons development program with Israel.

The presence of the USNS Salvor, one of the participants in Foal Eagle, so close to Baengnyeong Island during the sinking of the South Korean corvette also raises questions.

The Salvor, a civilian Navy salvage ship, which participated in mine laying activities for the Thai Marines in the Gulf of Thailand in 2006, was present near the time of the blast with a complement of 12 deep sea divers.

Beijing, satisfied with North Korea's Kim Jong Il's claim of innocence after a hurried train trip from Pyongyang to Beijing, suspects the U.S. Navy's role in the Cheonan's sinking, with particular suspicion on the role of the Salvor. The suspicions are as follows:

1. The Salvor engaged in a seabed mine-installation operation, in other words, attaching horizontally fired anti-submarine mines on the sea floor in the channel.

2. The Salvor was doing routine inspection and maintenance on seabed mines, and put them into an electronic active mode (hair trigger release) as part of the inspection program.

3. A SEALS diver attached a magnetic mine to the Cheonan, as part of a covert program aimed at influencing public opinion in South Korea, Japan and China.

The Korean peninsula tensions have conveniently overshadowed all other agenda items on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's visits to Beijing and Seoul.
