North Korea Attacks Yeonpyeong-Myeon South Korea as Promised - Why USA is Not Immune

North Korea Attacks Yeonpyeong-Myeon South Korea as Promised - Why USA is Not Immune

On November 27, NPR called the 3-mile-long Yeonpyeong island "charred and desolate", with photographic images of localized housing damage to match their description. The town hall and only healthcare center were severely damaged, the military base taking large damage as well.

Aside from the military installation just about 7 miles from North Korean territory, Yeonpyeong is historically a small fishing village know for high quality crab capture, civilian population estimates to be between 1,200 and 1,700 in 2010. Residents fled the island community by ferry over the course of two days to take up residence in a bath house in Incheon, South Korea.

Apparently, the conflict and irregularly occurring military attacks at Yeonpyeong Island have endured for 60 years, North Korea insisting that it owns the waters surrounding the island. In an eerie event, news media state that 60 buildings went aflame during the latest attack in November 2010 - one for each year of the conflict. South Korean Defense Minister Kim Tae-Young resigned after the 2010 attack. The Yellow Sea where the charred island floats remained a point of contention for North and South Korea and China.

Native American Migration from Russia to Iceland

Native American Migration from Russia to Iceland:

"Eskimo (Inuit) Nation at the Top of the World.

One human migration theory holds that the Thules on the west coast of Greenland became the Inuit that live across the northern parts of the North American Continent. This would seem to mean that the Thules traveled from Greenland around the Arctic Circle clockwise and ended in Iceland. While certain evidence links the Thules to the Inuit, none yet links them to the Koreans; whereas Inuit peoples are genetically related to some degree to all other circumpolar/subpolar peoples, including northern Asians. I think the People of the North must be the originals - not of all mankind perhaps, but of the North of the Eastern Hemisphere, where they have commanded the Arctic Circle genetically. Read more on this history that some groups of people are denying, becuase they do not want to be linked. Fascinating."
