| SEOUL, July 5 (Yonhap) -- Top South Korean and Japanese negotiators at the six-nation disarmament talks on North Korea's nuclear weapons program will hold a meeting in Seoul on Monday to discuss how they will implement U.N. sanctions against the North for its recent nuclear test, officials said Sunday. South Korean chief negotiator Wi Sung-lac and his Japanese counterpart, Akitaka Saiki, will also exchange views on North Korea's recent belligerent acts, including Pyongyang's recent launches of short-range missiles, officials the South's foreign ministry said. "The meeting between chief negotiators from South Korea and Japan is aimed at checking the current situation after North Korea's second nuclear test and the adoption of the U.N. Resolution 1874," said an official at the ministry. The Monday meeting is also regarded as a preparatory step to tune positions of South Korea and Japan as five members of the six-party talks, including the United States, Japan and Russia, were set to begin a series of diplomatic efforts to lure North Korea to the negotiating table, according to the official. China's chief envoy for the disarmament talks, Wu Dawei, already started a visit to Russia last week. Wu plans to visit South Korea, Japan and the U.S. to discuss the North Korean issue. Wu is scheduled to visit South Korea on July 12-14, according to the South Korean ministry. |

| #2 I believe NORTH KOREA = KIMMIE fired its missles at GUAM, as based on my visual observations of several strange fireballs = fiery streaks, including one spherical-shaped full explosion, in the night skies oer my home island. REMINDED ME MORE OF "MISSLES/ROCKETS", AS OPPOS TO FIERY "METEORS", ETC. USDOD AIRCRAFT WERE ALSO OBSERVED BUSILY DARTING TO AND FROM ALL OVER AGANA + AGANA BAY. Iff these phenomena were indeed Kimmie's missles, as I believe them to be, then IMO US-ALLIED INTEL HAS GROSSLY UNDERESTIMATED THE STATE OF NOKOR'S MIL/NUCTECHS, and by extens prob also THE NOKOR MISSLE, NUCLEAR THREAT IN GENERAL INCLUD FOR IRAN. One of these fireballs "burned up" high in the shy oer CENTRAL-SOUTHERN GUAM, whilst the rest did same seemingly just offshore AGANA BAY = WESTPAC [downward trajectory]. The single explosion I'd observed as above could either be a successful US BMD hit, or more likely one of NOKOR's infamous missle failures. "NUTSHELL" > IMO ANY US-ALLIED INTEL INTERPRETATION SHOULD BE THAT MOST OF THESE MISSLES CAME THROUGH AND HAD EFFEC REACHED GUAM ISLAND + SHORT DISTANCE BEYOND. * NK Missles can now reach as far away as Guam * NK can fire its missles in BARRAGE. * SURFACE/MARITIME VESSEL LAUNCH, aka NOPNO-TRADITIONAL NAVAL/MIL LAUNCH [ASBM = Anti-Carrier Asenal-Fire Ship]??? * DID THE US FAIL TO STOP THE LAUNCHINGS, OR IN THE ALTERNATE ALLOWED NOKOR TO LAUNCH??? IFF THE US IS WRONG ABOUT NOKOR'S MISSLES, IS IT WRONG ABOUT NOKOR NOT HANING ADVANCED NUCMATS FOR STRATEGIC + NUKE WEAPONS??? ** GUAM PDN NEWS/OTHER this AM > REPORT: NORTH KOREA MAY TEST/LAUNCH EXTENDED RANGE SCUD ["SCUD-ER" IRBM]. |

| #1 Japan can actually stop Korea's nuclear weapons pursuit. All it has to do is to declare that, because North Korea is developing nuclear weapons, it must do so also to deter an attack by the North. Also, in lieu of the danger posed by NORK, Russia and China, it will change its constitution and re-arm. That will engender a pucker-factor in China and Russia as nothing else would, and they'll rein in their crazy sock puppet. |
