Titolo: La bufala del siluro Koreano

Quel siluro, prima compatibile con materiali usati su un tipo di
fabbricazione Tedesca, poi identificato con un tipo fatto in Korea del
Nord, ma che differisce nelle forme dal catalogo, pare non esista
proprio.
Anzi e' un fanta siluro, il primo mai usato operativamente capace di
creare una esplosione a bolla e contrazione.
Cosa che solo USA e qualche altro hanno testato ma mai usato.
Altro false flag, falso il siluro ma vere le dimissioni del governo
Giapponese, vere le manovre militari al largo della Korea.
Molto attivi nel "generare" accadimenti sfruttabili.
Purtroppo questi accadimenti comportano la morte di persone, vedi
Hariri, decine di persone vedi la corvetta, centinaia di persone vedi
stazione di Bologna, strage del mercato a Sarajevo, migliaia di
persone vedi ......
When queried by journalists about discrepancies between the CHT-02D
torpedo that attacked the Cheonan and the one depicted in the diagram,
investigators said Tuesday that the pictured torpedo was of the model
PT-97W and that the error was due to "a mix-up by a staff member while
preparing for the presentation."
A South Korean military spokesman said the error was discovered after
the press conference and a presentation of the evidence in front of
the UN Security Council featured the correct diagram.
Investigators said they obtained information on the torpedo "from
North Korean publications and CDs," adding they secured the materials
through "separate routes." The diagram was on a CD.
After May 20th, the North Korean government demanded to have access to
the full JIG report and to send a team of investigators to the
Republic of Korea to examine the physical evidence, and of course the
ROK authorities refused to allow this. However, when the Russians made
a similar request, the South Koreans felt they had no alternative but
to agree. While the conclusion of the Russian team, which was
comprised of submarine and torpedo experts, has not been reported by
the Western media, it did surface in the South Korean press. The
Hankyoreh reported on 10th July under the headline 'Government
protests Russia’s Conflicting Cheonan findings':
It came to light Friday that the South Korean government summoned the
Russian Ambassador to South Korea and expressed strenuous objections
over the Russian government’s failure to provide notification of the
findings of its independent team that investigated the Cheonan
sinking. The team was dispatched to South Korea around one month ago
and concluded that it was unable to view the “No. 1 torpedo” as being
the cause of the sinking.
According to military and foreign affairs supports connected to
Russia, the Russian government provided notification of its
independent investigation results only to the Chinese and U.S.
governments last week, and South Korea only found out about the
content indirectly through those two countries.
Following this, 1st Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Shin
Kak-soo summoned Russian Ambassador to South Korea Konstantin Vnukov
to the Foreign Ministry on July 4 to express “astonishment” at
Russia’s investigation findings because the findings were a complete
contradiction to the South Korean government’s announcement. They also
expressed severe dismay about the fact that Russian notified only the
U.S. and China about the findings, while leaving South Korea out of
the communication loop.
Foreign affairs sources reported that Shin used forceful and
diplomatically irregular language to denounce Russia’s behavior,
calling it “unfriendly conduct that violates trust,” “bewildering,”
and “disappointing.” It was also reported to Shin proposed additional
discussions with Russia during the meeting, and that the South Korean
government subsequently provided additional information to the Russian
government.
“Was it not the South Korean government that provided assistance to
the Russian investigation, saying that they would be objective?” asked
a former senior official in foreign affairs and national security,
adding that the Russian investigation results “raise fundamental
doubts about the [South Korean] government’s announcement of its
Cheonan investigation findings.”
It was reported that while the Russian investigation team did conclude
that the Cheonan was not sunk by a North Korean bubble jet torpedo, it
did not present any definitive conclusions about the direct cause,
suggesting several possible scenarios such as a secondary mine
explosion following a problem with the Cheonan during its maneuvers.
Analysts are interpreting this as being due to the fact that the
Russian team, made up of submersible and torpedo experts, focused its
examination on the question of whether the sinking resulted from a
strike by the “No. 1 torpedo.”
For the Cheonan to have been broken in two by a torpedo in the way
described by the South Korean JIG group, by "a shock wave and bubble
effect", only a bubble jet torpedo could have been used in the
'attack'. The Hankyoreh article continued:
“The Russian investigation team’s primary interest was in whether
North Korea, which had been unable to produce its own torpedoes until
1995, suddenly was able to attack the Cheonan with a state-of-the-art
bubble jet torpedo,” said a South Korean diplomatic source.
Indeed, the technology for bubble jet torpedoes, which are capable of
splitting a vessel in two through the expansion and contraction of a
bubble resulting from a powerful explosion, is possessed only by the
U.S. and a small number of other countries, and has only been
successful to date in experiments on stationary ships rather than
actual fighting. The joint civilian-military investigation team also
acknowledged in its June 29 briefing to media groups that North Korea
was the first to have succeeded in using a bubble jet torpedo in the
field.
So, the Russian investigators determined that the Cheonan was not sunk
by a North Korean bubble jet torpedo; and instead of making a public
show of this conclusion, Putin and Medvedev had decided that they
would quietly release the findings to the US and Chinese authorities-
a decision taken in all probability because Russia is trying to avoid
taking actions which would embarrass the present US administration and
endanger the chances of improved diplomatic relations with the United
States. Despite its angry bluster, the South Korean government got off
very lightly as a result of this decision by the Russian leadership.
Scientific destruction
As remarked in the latter report, scientists have attacked the JIG
team's conclusions as incompatible with the physical evidence; two
North American-based academics, Seunghun Lee (Department of Physics,
University of Virginia) and J.J. Suh (SAIS, Johns Hopkins University)
wrote an article for the Asia-Pacific Journal summarising some of the
inconsistencies. The authors accused the JIG of fabricating data and
lying about the conduct of the investigation. Some excerpts from the
article:
Our results show that the “critical evidence” presented by the JIG
does not support its conclusion that the Cheonan’s sinking was caused
by the alleged DPRK’s torpedo. On the contrary, its contradictory data
raises the suspicion that it fabricated the data.
First, the JIG failed to produce conclusive, or at least convincing
beyond reasonable doubt, evidence of an outside explosion. While the
JIG argues in its report that the pattern of the ship’s deformation
and severance is consistent with the damage caused by a bubble effect
from an outside explosion, its claim is not supported by the evidence.
A JIG simulation showing how a bubble might be formed by an underwater
explosion, and how it might sever the Cheonan, was not completed by
the time the JIG released its report, as it acknowledged at the [South
Korean] Parliament’s Special Committee on the Cheonan on May 24. The
simulation that was shown at the conference only shows a bubble being
formed and hitting the bottom of the ship, deforming the ship and
making a small rupture in the hull. Nowhere does this simulation show
the Choenan being completely severed in the middle by the bubble, as
stated in the JIG report.
Not only did the JIG's press conference simulation fail to show that
the bubble effect could have cut the Cheonan, that simulation is not
consistent with the pattern of the ship’s damage. If the bottom of the
ship was hit by a bubble, it should show a spherical concave
deformation resembling the shape of a bubble, as the JIG’s own
simulation suggests... but it does not. The bottom of the front part
of the ship is pushed up in an angular shape... more consistent with a
collision with a hard object.
Equally important, if a bubble jet effect was produced by an outside
explosion of 250kg of explosives, as the JIG argues, that explosion
should have produced an immediate pre-bubble shock wave whose strength
would have been at least 5000 psi (pounds per square inch) when it hit
the bottom of the Cheonan. The bottom and ruptured surface of the ship
betray no sign of such a large shock... the internal instruments and
parts remain intact in their original place; and none of the crew
members suffered the kind of injuries expected of such a shock. Given
that an underwater explosion produces both a bubble effect and a shock
wave and the latter is usually about 6 to 10 times as destructive as
the former, the ship’s and the crew’s condition is not consistent with
the damage expected of an outside explosion.
The JIG’s so-called first finding, therefore, is a mere allegation
that is groundless and contradicted by the JIG's own evidence and at
least one analysis of underwater explosions in the military
literature.
[The JIG’s] claim that the “recovered” torpedo exploded outside the
Cheonan has no scientific basis. It has presented two pieces of
evidence to support its claim: that white compounds – “adsorbed
materials” in the JIG’s report (we analyzed the Korean-language JIG
report) – found on the torpedo match those found on the surfaces of
the Cheonan ship; and that the compounds resulted from an explosion.
We concur with the JIG on the first, but believe that the second has
no basis.
Following a rather complex technical explanation, the academics
continued:
...when the media reported our experimental results and the
inconsistencies between the AM-3 and the other two samples, the ROK
ministry of defense responded that the crystalline Al signal found in
the AM-3 sample was due to an experimental mistake, which we believe
is a plain lie.
In respect of the Korean inscription 'number 1' in marker pen ink on a
component of the dredged-up torpedo, Seunghun Lee and J.J. Suh
observed:
Third, although the JIG presented the torpedo parts recovered from the
area of presumed explosion as “critical evidence” that tied the
explosion to North Korea, the “critical evidence” has a serious
inconsistency that casts doubt on the integrity of the evidence. The
outer surface of the torpedo propulsion unit that was found was
greatly corroded, presumably because the coat of paint that would have
protected the metal had been burnt off during the explosion. The paint
burn-off and resulting metal corrosion are consistent with a high heat
explosion commonly found in bombs and torpedoes. And yet the blue ink
marking of Hangul – “1bǒn” in Korean – remains intact despite the fact
that ink has a lower boiling point, typically around 150 degrees in
Celsius, than paint does – typically 350 degrees Celsius – and thus
the ink marking should have burnt away just like the outer paint. Our
simple estimates suggest that the torpedo would have been subjected to
heat of at least 350 degrees Celsius and quite likely over 1000
degrees, high enough to burn the paint and thus the ink as well. This
inconsistency – the high heat tolerant paint was burnt but the low
heat tolerant ink was not – cannot be explained and casts serious
doubt on the integrity of the torpedo as “critical evidence.”
These findings were picked up by the international science journal
Nature, which covered them on 8th July (the article was updated on
14th July). Although the scientific case against the JIG's conclusion
was damning, the writer of the Nature article strove to achieve some
balance, by quoting another US expert:
James Schoff, an expert in Asian regional security mechanisms who
heads Asia-Pacific studies at the Institute for Foreign Policy
Analysis in Washington DC, says, "Aside from the science, it is
consistent with North Korea's behaviour in the past. It fits the goal
of the conservatives [within the (North Korean) government], which is
to try to raise awareness of a security threat."
This doesn't, however, rule out the possibility that North Korea did
sink the ship but that South Korea nonetheless fabricated data to make
a stronger case to the United Nations, admits Schoff. It's possible,
for example, that they added the ink, he says. "It wouldn't surprise
me if they added it to make it more convincing. But I have no doubts
personally that the conclusion [of the JIG report] is correct."
So, the science should be disregarded because sinking a South Korean
ship is the kind of thing that it is assumed the DPRK would get up to;
and even if the South Korean authorities fabricated the evidence, one
should have no doubts that the North Koreans are guilty.
Regime change in Japan
But at least Nature covered the story. Despite the famed 'freedom of
the press' of the Western world, the scientific refutation of the JIG
conclusion has not, so far, been reported in any major English
language news publication- and neither have the rest of the facts
which de-bunk the case against North Korea.
It is for this reason that, despite its failure at the UN Security
Council, the United States has achieved something of a success in
terms of public opinion- reinforcing the view of the DPRK as a country
with an irrational, dangerous leadership- hence bolstering support for
the USA's military presence in the region. In Japan particularly, the
the untruth about the Cheonan has had a very useful result in terms of
US power and influence. Not only has the United States been enabled to
keep its huge military base on the island of Okinawa, it has also got
rid of the Japanese leader who dared to defy the USA on this key
strategic issue. As ABC news reported on 2nd June:
Japan's Prime Minister Yukio Yatoyama resigned today following a
bitter battle over the relocation of a U.S. air base on Okinawa that
has dominated domestic headlines for months.
The ruling Democratic Party of Japan scrambled to find a new leader
after Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama resigned Wednesday, apologizing
for failing to keep a campaign promise to move a contentious U.S.
military base, as his party desperately tried to boost its chances in
elections next month. Kan, who has a clean and defiant image, emerged
a likely successor.
Hatoyama sided with residents who have long protested the noise and
pollution of the Futenma air base, occupied since the end of World War
II...
Last week, shortly following South Korea's claim that North Korea
torpedoed one of their ships in neighboring water, Tokyo agreed to
allow the base to remain on Okinawa.

 Giapponese
il governo giapponese si è dimesso per motivi che non c'entrano con
l'affondamento della nave sudcoreana. Anzi, è proprio l'opposto
dell'intento della false flag, che era di aumentare la tensione nella
regione e quindi costringere Giappone e Corea a tenersi stretti gli
yankee. Hatoyama si è dimesso perchè non ha cacciato gli yankee da
Okinawa...


Ogni tanto la sinistra mostra dei chiari limiti logici.
Sintetizzo.
A  Arriva il siluro a ciel sereno.
B L'ipotesi di chiusura della base di Okinawa viene cancellata a furor
di parlamento.
C Salta il governo Giapponese.
Il primo siluramento di un premier nel vero senso del termine.
Direi che una quarantina di Koreani sono spendibili per tenersi
Okinawa.

 C Salta il governo Giapponese.
per NON avere chiuso Okinawa, cosa che il popolo giapponese ormai
vuole a prescindere da qualsiasi cosa succeda in Corea. Che vantaggio
hanno gli americani a far saltare un parlamento che comunque
continuava a obbedire ai loro ordini (e l'avrebbe fatto anche senza
siluro, erano mesi che il premier cincischiava invece di fare quello
che aveva promesso)? Così alle prossime elezioni i giapponesi
voteranno in massa per il PC locale, che in caso di nuovo siluro darà
ragione alla Corea del Nord...bel miglioramento..
