ALERT: North Korean Has Launchable Nuclear Warheads which Fit on the Ballistic Missiles


ALERT: North Korean Has Launchable Nuclear Warheads which Fit on the Ballistic Missiles



North Korea's nuclear warheads fit on a missile, official says
WASHINGTON -- A U.S. intelligence agency has concluded that North Korea has developed nuclear warheads small enough to fit on a ballistic missile, a congressman disclosed Thursday.
At a House armed services committee hearing focused on the budget, Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Colo.) read from what he said was an unclassified portion of a classified Defense Intelligence Agency study that states, "DIA assesses with moderate confidence the North currently has nuclear weapons capable of delivery by ballistic missiles. However, the reliability will be low."
Although U.S. experts believe North Korean missiles are not capable of hitting the U.S. mainland, the notion that the regime had achieved a significant leap in weapons technology would be deeply disconcerting for U.S. policymakers. It was not immediately known whether the CIA and other U.S. agencies agree with the DIA, an intelligence arm at the Pentagon.
Lamborn said the DIA study was completed last month but the conclusion had not been made public.
The Pentagon announced last month that it plans to augment missile defense systems in Alaska in response to the North Korean threat. It also said it will deploy another antimissile system to Guam, which is in range of North Korean missiles.
Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, declined to answer Lamborn's question about the report in the public hearing.
At a different congressional hearing Thursday, James R. Clapper, the director of national intelligence, sought to downplay the recent tension with North Korea. He said the tension was higher in previous episodes in his career, including when the North Koreans seized a Navy spy ship in 1968 and detained its crew. They ultimately were released but the ship, the Pueblo, remains in Pyongyang.
Clapper said there is uncertainty regarding North Korea's young leader, Kim Jong Un.
"We don't have good detail on the inner sanctum," he said. "There's no telling how he's going to behave. He impresses me as impetuous, [and] not as inhibited as his father became about taking aggressive action."

BREAKING Obama wants to kill Christians along with DHS ~ Glenn Beck

Ever since the American public began to understand the scope of US drone operations abroad, questions have continued to add up. But weeks after Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) waged a marathon filibuster to examine the use of unmanned aerial vehicles most of these questions remain unanswered. President Barack Obama says his targeted kill program is "Serious and not speculative," but a recent report published my McClatchy makes a whole other argument. According to the paper, the scope of the US drone program being conducted abroad is much larger than the White House claims, and it's not just high-profile targets like al-Qaeda members and their affiliates that are being killed: it's civilians and anyone else within strike. Stephen Miles, coalition coordinator of Win Without War, joins RT's Meghan Lopez to discuss

North Korea May Put Nuclear on Missiles and Launch around 15th of April

(CNN) -- A study just completed by the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency says North Korea has nuclear weapons that could be delivered by ballistic missiles, a congressman said Thursday. The revelation came from Rep. Doug Lamborn, R-Colorado, during a House Intelligence Committee hearing.

North Korea Can Put A Nuke on a Missile, U.S. Intelligence Agency Believes
South Korea continues to be on high alert, saying North Korea could launch a missile by around April 15th, the birthday of the country's late founder Kim Il Sung.
The Defense Intelligence Agency has concluded with "moderate confidence" that North Korea might be capable of placing a nuclear weapon small enough that could be delivered by a ballistic missile. The DIA also says that if that is the case, the reliability of the missile would be low.

Judge Napolitano On IRS E-Mail Snooping Without Warrants: Stay Out Of Our Stuff!


Napolitano and Shep Smith Take On IRS E-Mail Snooping Without Warrants: 'Stay Out Of Our Stuff!'


4/11/13 - With Tax Day less than a week away, Fox News reported this afternoon on the American Civil Liberties Union obtaining IRS documents via the Freedom of Information Act that show the federal tax collection agency routinely searches Americans' emails, possibly in violation of the Fourth Amendment's prohibition on unreasonable search and seizures.

Reporter Jonathan Hunt noted to host Shepard Smith that the controversy over the Internal Revenue Service's practices largely stems from the fact that the agency uses an "administrative summons" to decide to search an email without a search warrant or any form of court order.

Fox judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano clarified the controversy to a "confused" Smith, explaining that the IRS intends to use this surveillance technique only for investigating criminal fraud, which makes up "a very, very, very tiny percentage of taxpayers." However, he noted, many of the e-mails read and collected will never make it to a court case; and the ones that do would likely be questioned by a judge who wondered how the evidence was obtained without any form of court order or warrant permitting a search of private e-email exchanges.

"How is that consistent with the Fourth Amendment?" the judge hypothetically asked. "You didn't come to me and ask for a search warrant — you just took it."

Smith then lamented that there are "so many more instances of elements of the government or authority figures in this country getting into our stuff."

"Stay out of our stuff," he said to an agreeing Napolitano.

"What the ACLU — in my view, quite properly — wants to know [from the IRS] is: Are you following your own regulations which tell you how to get around the Fourth Amendment or are you following the Fourth Amendment?" the judge said. "They have not yet answered that question."

"What happens next: Anybody they suspect of cheating, they just drone them," Smith joked to end the segment.
