North Korean workers departed the Russian town of Nakhodka following increased tensions on the Korean peninsula, Vladnews agency stated, The Independent reported Nov. 27. Traders left the kiosks and markets, workers abandoned building sites, and North Korean secret service employees working in the region have all departed the area, according to Vladnews.
You have a good blog but please stop implying you made the translation of the following video.

Apart from that, great job.
I never said, nor implied, nor meant to imply that I had done the translation. I did the subtitles that were given to me by my source. Sometimes those sources are anonymous and other times they want to be named and most often they use a nom de guerre. I never do any translation but I do a great deal of subtitling.
I hope this sets the record straight.
This is not a good sign, I thought we would have until warm weather but it looks like the North Korean leaders are even crazier then I thought.
Does the report say what the Chinese are doing? They are the big danger in those parts.
I can look for other stratfor reports on that. My guess is, China has WAY less control than they pretend to.
My guess is a lot more, I know the Chinese banks are drowning in bad debt, the party members over the past decade to 2 decades have borrowed an amount equal to about double the Gross Domestic Product of China, then the one child police combined with sex testing of the fetuses has lead to 4 or 5 men for every woman, when the normal ratio is 1.2 women for every man. This is putting a lot of pressure on China to do something to gain more treasure to prop up the banks and provide brides for the men. They have also been buying and stockpiling a lot of strategic metals, some of that was forward buying for their own use in export products on internal consumption, but they went way past that and tied up a lot of capital in metals when it is needed elsewhere, something I don’t see them doing by mistake.
The Chinese have been using North Korea as a cats paw for decades, they provide the initial expertize to make the super bill counterfeit US and other currencies and then set back and watch the West including Japan suffer. They use North Korea to sell weapons to nations that are going to use them and thus keep Western eyes off of China and to a lesser extent North Korea. And since the Chinese/North Koreans and the Iranians have been whipsawing us with actions to take our attention away from the other what is Iran doing? Are they getting read to move on Israel or is this not related? All of the above must be kept in mind, these days on the international scene nothing is what it appears to be, in fact it is usually worse.
North Korea has been preparing for war since the early 1940s, when it split off from the rest of the country to embrace tyranny.
What I fear may happen is that the west will have its attention diverted from the true threat, Islam to concentrate on a new phase of the Korean War (which never really ended).
We should never take our eyes away from Islam and its leaders, who are looking to conquer via fifth columns, lawfare, terrorism and stealth jihad.
The split came in 1945 when Russia sent troops into the North to claim that land, and yes Islam is the short term threat but Marxism is the long term threat. And if you will think back over the past 10 years North Korea and Iran have worked together to try and give us whiplash by first one and then the other doing something to provoke a reaction. Also in the docs that Wikileaks made public is some saying that North Korea has given Iran plans and missiles that will reach into most of Europe and Moscow. This fact can’t be setting well with the Europeans. Both Iran and the North Korea/China want the US destroyed, Russia doesn’t want us destroyed they simply want us weakened in a war where we destroy their Islamic and Chinese enemies.
