	The American Government’s Secret Plan for Surviving the End of the World Newly declassified CIA files offer a glimpse of the playbook the Trump administration will reach for if it stumbles into a nuclear war. BY MARC AMBINDER APRIL 14, 2017 Among the greatest foreign-policy dilemmas faced by former President Jimmy Carter is one that has never been publicly aired but is gaining new relevance. It concerns nuclear war, and how the U.S. government would survive it. Carter’s decisions remain classified, but documents newly declassified by the CIA, along with the archives at several presidential libraries, provide a new window into the White House’s preparations for an imminent apocalypse. Today, such an apocalypse could be triggered by any number of nuclear-armed states, including North Korea and Pakistan. During Carter’s presidency, such anxieties were focused squarely on the Soviet Union. It was during that period that military planners in both the Soviet Union and United States began to grapple with what until then had been an unthinkable heresy: abandoning the Mutually Assured Destruction catechism that had governed global order since the 1950s and preparing for surviving an all-out nuclear war. Carter and his White House were interested in more specific questions. If the presidency could survive after a nuclear war, what exactly would it do afterward? How could the surviving commander in chief be identified? Who would identify him? How would he fulfill the three main functions of the presidency: to be the chief executive of the government, the head of state, and the commander in chief of its armed forces? Carter’s answers came in the form of Presidential Directive 58, which was issued in the final months of his presidency; Ronald Reagan amended those plans with his own presidential directive in 1983. Their contents inform the continuity of government plans that remain in effect for the Trump administration. They have been the object of a multibillion-dollar pastiche of programs and a magnet for conspiracy theorists around the world. What follows is a glimpse at how the government developed some of its most closely held national-security secrets — and how the Trump administration, or any of its successors, might rely on them to survive the end of the world as we know it. When Carter took office, the Soviet Union had a head start on preparing for nuclear war. It had an expensive civil preparedness program; hundreds, perhaps thousands, of underground bunkers; and extensive continuity of government programs. The United States, for its part, had Ray Derby. Born in Iowa in 1935, Derby became one of the Defense Department’s premier experts on emergency preparedness and disaster response. In Europe, he led noncombatant evacuation drills across NATO, training the trainers who evaluated each unit’s ability to absorb and withstand an attack. In the United States, he led numerous governmentwide task forces on civil defense for nuclear, biological, and chemical accidents. He also developed the standard plan that America’s nuclear bases would use in a disaster. By the time of Carter’s inauguration in 1977, he was in charge of training and operations at the West Virginia Operations Office in the General Services Administration’s Federal Preparedness Agency (FPA). At the time, the principal federal plan for catastrophic disasters like nuclear war — Federal Emergency Plan D — called for each federal agency to design, develop, and build its own hardened, underground facility. In an emergency, the government would be run from the bunkers. Most agencies did not take the responsibility too seriously. The FPA tasked Derby with evaluating the implementation of Plan D. The first thing he noticed was that agencies rarely, if ever, rehearsed their respective plans. Few had made any provisions for maintaining vital records — even the laws, regulations, and directives that agencies used in their daily work. Many agency employees didn’t even know whether they were part of the teams that were supposed to evacuate during a disaster. These failures were the product of systemic neglect since the dawn of the nuclear age. Aside from a brief boom after the Cuban Missile Crisis, during which six federal government relocation centers were built around the nation, the United States did not treat civil defense as a part of its strategic deterrence. The federal government proved eager to spend money to upgrade weapons, not to protect the population or help them survive a nuclear attack. In the 1970s, many government agencies gave up planning post-disaster operations, assuming that the various federal organizations that had the word “preparedness” or “mobilization” in their titles were taking care of it. The American public said in polls that they wanted a civil defense program. But they lived in peace and didn’t pay attention to its development. Derby thought the problem was larger than funding. The American public said in polls that they wanted a civil defense program. But they lived in peace and didn’t pay attention to its development. They might have assumed that a big program existed somewhere out there, ready to be used in a Soviet attack. By the 1970s, the “duck and cover” years had given way to the comforting dulcet tones of détente. There was no urgency. And presidents were not insisting on any. There was one other complication: to effectively save the country during a nuclear war, the military had to cross one of its red lines by getting involved in domestic security. After nuclear war, martial law would almost certainly have to be declared, and the military given extraordinary powers to manage resource distribution. But the government also assumed that some sort of martial law would be required before the start of the actual war. As soon as it believed a war might be imminent, the government planned to move significant parts of the population, specifically those who lived near significant strategic military targets, and policymakers knew this might require a degree of coercion, even force. The military did not like to talk about this scenario, and neither did politicians. Plans were therefore developed in secret and classified, ensuring less visibility and public accountability. And what about members of the government themselves? In an emergency, or a changing of the Defense Condition status, the Joint Chiefs of Staff would order 60 officials to primary relocation sites. The government operated a so-called special facility atop Mount Weather in Berryville, Virginia, where a cadre of top executive branch officials would ride out a nuclear war. Other standby relocation sites were near Hagerstown, Maryland, and Martinsburg, West Virginia, at the Marine base near Quantico, Virginia (for the FBI), and Front Royal, Virginia, near a facility where the State Department was supposed to reconstitute. Still others were hidden at colleges inside or near the Beltway. But the Army and Air Force had enough helicopters to transport only about a third as many officials as would be required — assuming that aboveground transportation was possible. (Instructions called for them to make their way there in some other unspecified fashion if the helicopters were not available.) And for any top American leaders who managed to make it to Mount Weather, their ability to communicate with federal agencies, other governments, and the American people was questionable, at best, not least because the sites were generally minimally staffed. Many political leaders disdained suggestions that they practice for war or the very idea they would voluntarily hide themselves in secret bunkers away from the public and their families. (Dick Cheney, a congressman in the 1970s, was one such skeptic.) The assumption in the U.S. government was that the Soviets knew everything anyway. They had even bought land at the base of Mount Weather solely to monitor the comings and goings of emergency personnel. If the apocalypse was coming, warding it off was considered a fool’s errand.

	The Last Country We “Liberated” From An “Evil” Dictator Is Now Openly Trading Slaves APRIL 15, 2017 By Carey Wedler It is widely known that the U.S.-led NATO intervention to topple Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi in 2011 resulted in a power vacuum that has allowed terror groups like ISIS to gain a foothold in the country. Despite the destructive consequences of the 2011 invasion, the West is currently taking a similar trajectory with regard to Syria. Just as the Obama administration excoriated Gaddafi in 2011, highlighting his human rights abuses and insisting he must be removed from power to protect the Libyan people, the Trump administration is now pointing to the repressive policies of Bashar al-Assad in Syria and warning his regime will soon come to an end — all in the name of protecting Syrian civilians. But as the U.S. and its allies fail to produce legal grounds for their recent air strike — let alone provide concrete evidence to back up their claims Assad was responsible for a deadly chemical attack last week — more hazards of invading foreign countries and removing their heads of state are emerging. This week, new findings revealed another unintended consequence of “humanitarian intervention”: the growth of the human slave trade. The Guardian reports that while “violence, extortion and slave labor” have been a reality for people trafficked through Libya in the past, the slave trade has recently expanded. Today, people are selling other human beings out in the open. “The latest reports of ‘slave markets’ for migrants can be added to a long list of outrages [in Libya],” said Mohammed Abdiker, head of operation and emergencies for the International Office of Migration, an intergovernmental organization that promotes “humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all,”according to its website. “The situation is dire. The more IOM engages inside Libya, the more we learn that it is a vale of tears for all too many migrants.” The North African country is commonly used as a point of exit for refugees fleeing other parts of the continent. But since Gaddafi was overthrown in 2011, “the vast, sparsely populated country has slid into violent chaos and migrants with little cash and usually no papers are particularly vulnerable,” the Guardian explains. One survivor from Senegal said he was passing through Libya from Niger with a group of other migrants attempting to flee their home countries. They had paid a smuggler to transport them via bus to the coast, where they would risk taking a boat to Europe. But rather than take them to the coast, the smuggler took them to a dusty lot in Sabha, Libya. According to Livia Manente, an IOM officer who interviews survivors, “their driver suddenly said middlemen had not passed on his fees and put his passengers up for sale.” “Several other migrants confirmed his story, independently describing kinds of slave markets as well as kinds of private prisons all over in Libya,” she said, adding IOM Italy had confirmed similar stories from migrants landing in southern Italy. The Senegalese survivor said he was taken to a makeshift prison, which the Guardian notes are common in Libya. Those held inside are forced to work without pay, or on meager rations, and their captors regularly call family at home demanding a ransom. His captors asked for 300,000 west African francs (about £380), then sold him on to a larger jail where the demand doubled without explanation. When migrants were held too long without having a ransom paid for them, they were taken away and killed. “Some wasted away on meager rations in unsanitary conditions, dying of hunger and disease, but overall numbers never fell,” the Guardian reported. “If the number of migrants goes down, because of death or someone is ransomed, the kidnappers just go to the market and buy one,” Manente said. Giuseppe Loprete, IOM Niger’s chief of mission, confirmed these disturbing reports. “It’s very clear they see themselves as being treated as slaves,” he said. He arranged for the repatriation of 1,500 migrants just in the first three months of this year and is concerned more stories and incidents will emerge as more migrants return from Libya. “And conditions are worsening in Libya so I think we can also expect more in the coming months,” he added. As the United States government continues to entertain regime change in Syria as a viable solution to the many crises in that country, it is becoming ever-more evident that ousting dictators — however detestable they may be — is not effective. Toppling Saddam Hussein led not only to the deaths of civilians and radicalization within the population, but also the rise of ISIS. As Libya, once a beacon of stability in the region, continues to devolve in the fallout from the Western “humanitarian” intervention – and as human beings are dragged into emerging slave trades while rapes and kidnappings plague the population — it is increasingly obvious that further war will only create even further suffering in unforeseen ways.

	WikiLeaks: The Afghan Tunnels The US Just Bombed — “They Were Built By The CIA” APRIL 15, 2017 By Jack Burns As the Trump administration is flexing its military muscle, having stood up to Syria and its ally Russia, and while it’s now relishing in the news it has dropped the nation’s largest most-powerful non-nuclear bomb on a cave complex in eastern Afghanistan, one critic was quick to point out a little-known fact. WikiLeaks tweeted a simple but true statement concerning the origin of the cave complex the Americans are so proud to have reportedly destroyed. “Those tunnels the U.S is bombing in Afghanistan? They were built by the CIA,” WikiLeaks tweeted. View image on Twitter Follow WikiLeaks ✔@wikileaks Those tunnels the U.S is bombing in Afghanistan? They were built by the CIA http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/11/magazine/lost-at-tora-bora.html … (via@GabiElenaDohm) 7:35 PM - 13 Apr 2017 8,706 Retweets 7,533 likes Linked to the tweet was a New York Times article from 2005, which described a similar cave complex in detail, and added a few additional details worth noting. “Tora Bora” as it’s known, contains “fortified caves” which are reported to contain, “miles of tunnels, bunkers and base camps, dug deeply into the steep rock walls.” The tunnels were built by the “C.I.A.”, with the help of the Bin Laden family, who constructed the complex. Also jumping in on the mockery of the Trump administration is Edward Snowden, who tweeted, “The bomb dropped today in the middle of nowhere, Afghanistan, cost $314,000,000.” And in a follow up tweet, also said, “Those mujahedeen tunnel networks we’re bombing in Afghanistan? We paid for them.” He, too, linked his tweet to The NY Times article mentioned above. Apparently, the ant farm network of tunnels built by the CIA can now be destroyed by the American military in yet another pseudo-show-of-force meant to make the Trump administration seem tough on Syria, ISIS, and Al Qaeda. It was said Bin Laden even helped to run the bulldozers at Tora Bora and knew the labyrinth of tunnels like the proverbial back of his hand. Financed by the intelligence agency to provide a headquarters and safe haven for the Mujahedeen, the Afghani fighting force was used to prevent the Russian takeover of Afghanistan during the Afghan War. After the Russians were defeated, the same Mujahedeen became known as Al-Qaeda, led by Osama Bin Laden. After the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center, Bin Laden became the United States’ most wanted man. Not surprisingly, he took up refuge inside Tora Bora, within its miles and miles of complex, well-fortified tunnels. Times writer, Mary Anne Weaver, asked Masood Farivar, a former Khalis officer who had fought in Tora Bora during the jihad, to tell me why the caves were so important. “They’re rugged, formidable and isolated,” he said. “If you know them, you can come and go with ease. But if you don’t, they’re a labyrinth that you can’t penetrate. They rise in some places to 14,000 feet, and for 10 years the Soviets pummeled them with everything they had, but to absolutely no avail. Another reason they’re so important is their proximity to the border and to Pakistan.” One American military leader tasked with capturing or killing Bin Laden was General “Mad Dog” Mattis. Mattis is now the Trump Administration’s Secretary of Defense, and appears to have attempted to destroy at least a portion of Tora Bora’s system of tunnels with the drop of the MOAB bomb, known as the “Mother Of All Bombs.” The aging general who’s now the nation’s most powerful military leader, with the exception of Trump as Commander-in-Chief, appears to be following through with a sixteen-year-old vendetta he may have been holding onto. The Times article from 2005 writes, “Brig. Gen. James N. Mattis…along with another officer with whom I spoke, was convinced that…he could have surrounded and sealed off bin Laden’s lair…He argued strongly that he should be permitted to proceed to the Tora Bora caves.” However, according to Weaver, “The general was turned down,” and the decision not to take Bin Laden there at Tora Bora was one of the greatest military mistakes of the Bush Administration’s attempt to get him. Bin Laden escaped Tora Bora on December 16th, 2001. It is also important to note that WikiLeaks’ tweet may or may not be 100 percent accurate. CNN reported the MOAB bomb was dropped on a tunnel complex about 12 miles from Tora Bora. However, those tunnels are likely all connected. CBS reported the airstrike destroyed several caves used by ISIS with its 11-ton ordnance. The news agency also interviewed a military expert who said the U.S. has at least 14 more MOAB missiles and may be prepared to lay waste to all such cave systems. Meanwhile, on Thursday, the director of the CIA, Mike Pompeo, targeted WikiLeaks as a “non-state hostile intelligence service often abetted by state actors like Russia.” The recently appointed director has apparently had enough of WikiLeaks’ activities, such as the March release of the CIA’s Vault 7. Jack Burns is an educator, journalist, investigative reporter, and advocate of natural medicine. This article first appeared here at TheFreeThoughtProject.com. (activistpost.com)

	TOP TEN REASONS TO DOUBT THE OFFICIAL REPORT ON THE “CHEMICAL WEAPONS ATTACK” 14 APR 2017 POSTED BY ANTHONY TYLER There are many different reasons for critiquing and criticizing the official reports of President Assad’s alleged sarin gas attacks on his citizens. The greater majority of these critiques do not have to involve the support of Assad, Putin, or an “Illuminati” conspiracy theory. By simply digging through some source material with a proper sense of critical analysis (see the Trivium Education for more details), the entire story begins to cave in on itself. After such analysis, the official narrative of the chemical attack becomes so peculiar, inconsistent, anddevoid of any sense of political strategy that it ultimately becomes only one of two possible explanations: Either Assad has a hearty appetite for his own geo-political suicide, or these alleged sarin attacks were so psychopathic and strategically asinine, that the theory of Assad being responsible can only be seen as highly debatable at best. Additionally, when considering what is known about US foreign policy in the Middle East (i.e. NATO war profiteering), as well as some details behind specific groups affiliated with the promulgation of this story (The White Helmets, as example), the entire narrative turns from fishy to geopolitically ominous. These are the top ten reasons to doubt the official story. THE WHITE HELMETS MASQUERADE As can be seen in the officially released footage of Syrian victims being rescued from the alleged sarin gas attacks, The White Helmets rescue volunteers are not only incredibly careless with their protocol, but also seem to somehow be impervious to the known side effects of sarin. For quick notes of reference, not only is a mere pinhead’s worth of sarin gas needed to kill a grown man, sarin is also well-known to spread through the air, and mix well with water—which does little to explain the lack of safety masks or gloves on many of the rescue workers when rinsing the supposedly agonizing victims of their sarin contamination. Additionally, in this footage of the The White Helmets a worker can be seen lighting up and smoking a cigarette literally just a few feet behind a victim being treated for sarin contamination. THE WHITE HELMETS FORMERLY APOLOGIZED FOR FALSIFYING RESCUE FOOTAGE Not only are The White Helmets known to work closely on the ground with al-Qaeda, they have already been caught in a scandal for falsifying their emergency-rescue videos once before. Of course, depending on what news outlet a person goes to, they will get different stories, even at different mainstream sources, and that should be a huge red flag. The official narrative for this disturbing video showing The White Helmets workers posing for the reenactment/falsification of a rescue situation in Syria last year, is the hardly-known and even less interesting internet meme called the “Mannequin Challenge,” where a person films a scene of individuals entirely motionless in elaborate positions, like the ultimate mannequin. Believe this lazy explanation if you like, but before doing so, note that The White Helmets apologized for deceiving people after this was exposed as a fake, as did CNN. MANY MEMBERS OF THE CONGRESS DO NOT BUY THE OFFICIAL STORY It would seems that in today’s political climate, most every politician is two-faced to some degree, but credit should be given where credit is due, and for any politician to stand up in defiance of the mainstream narrative is deserving of praise. Firstly, Rand went on record stating matter-a-factly thatPresident’s Trump’s missile strike on Syria was unconstitutional due to its bypass of the necessary Congressional approval. Despite the incessant urging of the Trump team that Article II of the Constitution allows for this type of attack, this ignores the specifically relevant War Powers Act that makes very clear the need for the intrinsically democratic approval of Congress. What we are seeing is just semantic side-stepping. Tulsi Gabbard has been the champion of standing up to the establishment of late, and this event is no different. She has been outspoken about her doubt in the official story. Finally, Ron Paul recently sat down with Daniel McAdams to speak very adamantly about thehypocrisy of US foreign policy in Syria, the incredulity of the official reports, the peculiarity of Assad’s alleged motives (which are practically unaccounted for in the official report), and much more. PUTIN CLAIMS THAT THE SARIN ATTACKS WERE “FALSE FLAG” PROPAGANDA Take it for what you will, since it is a statesman using a state-affiliated media outlet for his announcement, but even President Putin recently declared not only that official US reports of the “sarin gas attacks” were all lies, but that more of these lies and provocations would be coming from the US and NATO. Ultimately, Putin and his affiliates have taken the stance that these are falsified and classical propaganda tactics that are designed to rally the US people for more warfare in Syria. MAINSTREAM MEDIA COMPLICITY Simply by looking at source material such as Operation: Mockingbird, and the analysis of ominous classics like Edward Bernays’ Propaganda, there is a demonstrable and overwhelming record of media complicity with official government intelligence narratives (Robert Redford even starred in a movie about the subject, for those who have forgotten). For the supposed protection of the people, media complicity with narratives regarding concepts of “homeland security” and “intelligence sensitivity/confidentiality” are always sold as imperative, when disclosed, and are actively enforced. Considering this age-old practice of media and government working hand in hand, and on top of that, the official operation that outlines how to execute just that, and how to keep it from public view, mainstream media’s complicity in this paper-thin sarin gas narrative should be a foregone conclusion. Mainstream media’s questionable “journalism” over the course of this story is flagrant and can be seen in TruthStream Media’s brief and non-partisan video detailing the subject. NO PROOF OF ASSAD USING CHEMICAL WEAPONS IN 2013 OR 2017 Since the initial accusations in 2013, there have been many different holes found in the claim that Assad used chemical weapons against his people. Ultimately, as illustrated concisely here by James Corbett with primary sources, the only group that has proven their supply of such chemical weapons are the rebels that Assad is combating. Furthermore, even Carla del Ponte, a former member of the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Syria in 2013 admitted on record that “we [UN officials] had no indication at all that the Syrian government had used chemical weapons.” Flash forward to today, and the same conditions apply. Assad is yet again being accused of using sarin on his own people, and yet again, the entire accusation rests on “the word” of the same intelligence community that lied about Assad then, as well as about WMDs in Iraq, while the American people and the world, have seen zero evidence. The only other source claiming to be certain that Assad is guilty of the stupidest act in geopolitical history, are The White Helmets, who have already been revealed above as extremely untrustworthy to put it very nicely. ASSAD AS CALIGULA Not only does this most recent alleged sarin gas attack prove exceptionally poor timing on Assad’s part, but so does the first reported attack. In his interview with Ron Paul, Daniel McAdams said, “He [Assad] would have to be the most insane leader, probably, in the history of the world—a Caligula or something.” Perhaps not the most “insane leader” of them all, but as McAdams elaborated a bit more, he hit the proverbial nail on the head. If it seemed like Assad was making a psychopathic power-play, that would be one thing, but the man has absolutely nothing that to be gained from using an inhumane chemical on innocent people, and instantly invoking the wrath of the self-proclaimed First-World on himself. Unless Assad specifically wanted to test the boundaries of a potential war game scenario, he could not have made a more strategically hazardous move for himself. Readers must, at this point, be prepared to lump Assad in with an insanity akin to rulers like Caligula, for example, or question what other possible factors might be at play here. TOMAHAWK MISSILES TO SYRIA As more a point of speculation based on the facts at hand, if Assad’s motives are highly debatable, then Trump’s decision to send the tomahawk missiles to Syria becomes even more controversial than it originally was. If Assad’s role in this alleged chemical attack is actually different from the official narrative at hand, then by proxy, this makes Trump’s missile attack on Syria entirely ulterior and unknown. Even indicated by Putin and other Russian officials, this alleged attack by Assad on his people very much appears to be a sort of primer to get US citizens ready, willing, and able for more conflict in the Middle East. The launching of these missiles was the second part of this primer, perhaps, in part, a sort of attempt to gauge how the American public would respond the acts of aggression after Trump claimed during his campaign that he would let Syria figure things out for themselves, and his statements before his campaign that US involvement in Syria was a “very bad idea.” US STILL FUNDING REBELS AGAINST ASSAD Those who still consider NATO and western powers funding the Syrian rebels as a conspiracy theorymay as well be using primary source material as toilet paper instead of reading it, because this has been entirely documented at this point, and is an undeniable geopolitical fact. Then consider that multiple Congressman and women have stated unequivocally that “there are no moderate rebels” and that the US has been, and is currently, arming and funding the very terrorists it claims to be fighting. At this point, only the details can be argued (case in point, Sibel Edmonds and her testimonial of Gladio B – which, in any case, has every indication of authenticity). With this line of research kept in mind,Reuters recently reported that, “Homs Governor Talal Barazi… said the targeted airbase had been providing air support for army operations against Islamic State east of Palmyra, and the attack served the interests of ‘armed terrorist groups’… The U.S. strikes ‘targeted military positions in Syria and in Homs specifically’ in order to publicly ‘serve the goals of terrorism in Syria and the goals of Israel in the long run,'” Barazi added in his interview with state TV. Considering the nature and gravity of these claims, it would appear President Trump’s missile strike proved to be a capital advantage for ISIS and their offensive against Assad. SYRIA IS IRAQI WAR 2.0 As the final point, considering all the prior material discussed, it unfortunately does not seem like an unfair comparison between Trump’s recent instigation in Syria and Bush Jr.’s clear and blatant war-profiteering in Iraq. In a sense, Trump is proving to be a sort of metaphorical concoction of Bush and Obama. While he seems to thrive on being a dunce at the center of attention like Baby Bush, Trump has also proved himself as silver-tongued as Obama, beguiling a large group of the nation’s citizens only to throw all his promises out the window as soon as he entered office. At this point, it would be surprising if America saw this “Mexican Wall.” Truthfully, it would be surprising if Trump was not continuing the profiteering of the military industrial complex, since this is the only successfully reoccurring geopolitical narrative that Americans have seen since the Industrial Revolution. As always, it is important for citizens to inform themselves and take nothing at face value, but at this point, the only thing that seems certain about the official narrative of the alleged sarin gas attacks is that the official narrative is inconclusive—perhaps even a bit transparent.

	APR 15 2017, 9:05 AM ET North Korea Parades New Prototype Long-Range Missiles amid Nuclear Tensions: Experts by ALASTAIR JAMIESON and STELLA KIM North Korea paraded its military might Saturday in a massive public display that experts said showed new capabilities for its long-range intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). Kim Jong Un did not speak during the huge event, which celebrates the birthday of North Korea's founding ruler Kim Il Sung, but another top official, Choe Ryong Hae, warned that the North would stand up to any threat posed by the United States. Choe said President Donald Trump was guilty of "creating a war situation" on the Korean Peninsula by dispatching U.S. forces to the region. North Korea warns US of 'all-out war' amid growing tensions1:48 "We will respond to an all-out war with an all-out war and a nuclear war with our style of a nuclear attack," Choe added. The parade, the annual highlight of North Korea's most important holiday, came amid growing international worries that North Korea may be preparing for its sixth nuclear test or a major missile launch, such as its first flight test of an ICBM capable of reaching U.S. shores. A submarine-launched ballistic missile was also on display. Wong Maye-E / AP Experts said the parade included prototype missiles that were longer than previous versions and appeared to have improved launch capabilities. Kim Dong-yub, a North Korea expert at Seoul's Institute for Far Eastern Studies, said the canisters and trucks suggested that the North was developing technology to "cold launch" ICBMs, ejecting them from the canisters before they ignite. This would allow North Korea to prevent its limited number of ICBM-capable launcher trucks from being damaged during launches and also make the missiles harder to detect after they're fired, he said. Cold launches would also allow the missiles to be fired from silos. He said it's likely that North Korea is also developing solid-fuel ICBMs and that some of the rockets inside the canisters seen on Saturday might have been prototypes. Other military hardware at the parade included tanks, multiple rocket launchers and artillery, as well as a solid-fuel missile designed to be fired from submarines.

DAMIR SAGOLJ / Reuters "North Korea made sure that the world saw that they are working on ICBMs and what we saw at the military parade was a prototype ICBM that will become the real deal after the necessary tests in the future," Cheong Seong-Chang, a senior fellow at The Sejong Institute in South Korea, told NBC News. "The prototype we saw [Saturday] is longer in the length from the ones NK has previously shown the world," he added. It was not immediately clear how ready the missiles were. NBC security analyst Jeremy Bash said the parade included "a couple of familiar weapons and some paint jobs on old weapons." Melissa Hanham, a senior research associate at the U.S.-based Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey, California, said the appearance of ICBMs enclosed in canister launchers suggested Pyongyang was working towards a "new concept" of ICBM. "However, North Korea has a habit of showing off new concepts in parades before they ever test or launch them," she said. "It is still early days for these missile designs." The Pukkuksong submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBM) were also on parade. It was the first time North Korea had shown the missiles, which have a range of more than 600 miles.

HOW HWEE YOUNG / EPA Displaying more than one of the missiles indicates North Korea is progressing with its plan to base a missile on a submarine, which are hard to detect, said Joshua Pollack, editor of the Washington-based Nonproliferation Review. "It suggests a commitment to this program," said Pollack. "Multiple SLBMs seems like a declaration of intent to advance the program." The parade, an elaborate display of the state's immense power, involves tens of thousands of participants, from goose-stepping soldiers to crowds of civilians who have spent weeks perfecting their ability to wave plastic flowers in unison.
