I've noticed since the $3 Billion article (money that was said sent in cash via air to Kim), the news has gone quiet. Currently, this is where it's at: http://news.yahoo.com/north-korea-demands-end-sanctions-u-wants-dialogue-030448496.html.
This is the DEFCON Warning System. Alert status for 2 P.M. Thursday, April 18th, 2013. Condition Yellow. DEFCON 3. Condition Yellow. DEFCON 3. Condition Yellow. DEFCON 3.
There are currently no imminent nuclear threats against the United States at this time, however the situation is considered fluid and can change rapidly.
The United States has been backing away from statements that North Korea has nuclear-capable missiles. The DEFCON Warning System has found, however, such statements to be carefully phrased and thus continues to advise the public to assume that North Korea has deliverable weapons until more hard data becomes available. Additionally, we caution the public against complacency or burn out from constant and continual North Korean threats. The situation in the Korean theatre remains hostile and the chance for misinterpretation, miscalculation, or error remains extremely high. While North Korea is unlikely to initiate any direct offensive action at this time, the psychological profile of North Korea also indicates a propensity to react with extreme force against any perceived threat, real or imagined. Therefore, the DEFCON alert condition will likely remain at Yellow through the end of April.
Tactically, North Korea has lowered its missile out of firing position and there remain no troop movements by North Korea indicating an imminent attack.
The United States is offering China a concession on U.S. missile defense as a way to gain China's support against North Korea. Additionally, the United States wishes to work with China on cyber-security, the same China that has been hacking into the United States for years.
Learning from the events transpiring in North Korea, Iran has now issued a warning that an attack on its facilities could lead to nuclear war. An interesting statement considering Iran's constant denial that their work is non-military. Additionally, Iran is to meet with Niger, a major Uranium producer.
The DEFCON Warning System is a private enterprise which monitors world events and assesses nuclear threats against the United States by national entities. It is not affiliated with any government agency and does not represent the alert status of any military branch. The public should make their own evaluations and not rely on the DEFCON Warning System for any strategic planning. At all times, citizens are urged to learn what steps to take in the event of a nuclear attack.
If this had been an actual attack, the DEFCON Warning System will give radiation readings for areas that are reported to it. Your readings will vary. This system serves the Kettle Falls area of Northeast Washington. Official news sources will have radiation readings for your area.

This concludes this broadcast of the DEFCON Warning System.
