Seaborne Threat from North Korea

A year ago, a tramp steamer from North Korea was intercepted transiting the Panama Canal. When its contents were inspected, they included two nuclear-capable missiles on their launchers concealed beneath 10,000 tons of sugar.

Such weapons could be used to conduct a devastating electro-magnetic pulse attack on the U.S. power grid. Large parts of America could be denied electricity for long periods, with truly horrific consequences for our country and people. And that’s just the sort of damage the North Korean regime has repeatedly threatened to inflict upon us.

Investigative reporter Claudia Rosett just revealed that another North Korean ship is currently in the Gulf of Mexico and acting suspiciously. We don’t know what’s in its hold but our Navy would be well-advised to intercept the vessel and find out.
