EARTHQUAKE SAMOA ISLAND MW 8,3 RICHTER , TSUNAMI 8 METERS

Friday 2 October 11:20
The 2009 Samoa earthquake was an 8.0 Mw earthquake which took place in the Samoan Islands region at 06:48:11 local time onSeptember 29, 2009 (17:48:11 UTC, September 29). It is the largest earthquake so far in 2009.
A tsunami was generated which caused substantial damage and loss of life in Samoa, American Samoa, and Tonga. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center recorded a 3-inch (76 mm) rise in sea levels near the epicenter.
The quake occurred on the outer rise of the Kermadec-Tonga Subduction Zone where the Pacific Plate dives under the Australian Plate. This is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, where tectonic plates in the earth's lithosphere meet and earthquakes and volcanic activity are common.
The areas hit by the tsunami are American Samoa, Samoa and Tonga where more than 189 people have been killed, most of them in Samoa. Large waves with no major damage were reported on the coasts of Fiji, the northern coast of New Zealand and Rarotonga in theCook Islands. People took precautions in the low-lying atolls of Tokelau and moved to higher ground. Niue was reported as reasonably safe because it is high. There have been no reports of high waves from Vanuatu, Kiribati, New Caledonia and the Solomon Islands.


Aggiornamento Venerdì 2 ottobre ore 11:20 ITALIANO
LALOMANU, Samoa - Gli abitanti di Samoa hanno seppellito oggi i loro morti sulla spiaggia, mentre continuano le operazioni di recupero dei corpi nei villaggi distrutti da quattro tsunami e una nuova scossa di terremoto ha colpito la zona.
Nel paradiso del Pacifico meridionale, qualcuno ha già iniziato a ricostruire, sgomberando le macerie delle case distrutte. Altri rimangono invece sulle montagne, impauriti all'idea di tornare nelle zone costiere per timore che l'oceano possa uccidere ancora.
Una nuova scossa di terremoto di magnitudo 6.3 ha colpito la regione a sud di Tonga oggi, secondo quanto ha riferito l'U.S. Geological Service.
Le vittime confermate degli tsunami di martedì, provocato da un terremoto sottomarino di magnitudo 8, sono 149 a Samoa, 31 nelle Samoa Americane e nove a Tonga.

China celebrates 60 years of communism with a display of military might that should worry the West...

China today celebrated its wealth and rising might with a show of goose-stepping troops, gaudy floats and nuclear-capable missiles in Beijing, 60 years after Mao Zedong proclaimed its embrace of communism.
Tiananmen Square became a hi-tech stage to celebrate the birth of the People's Republic of China on October 1, 1949, with President Hu Jintao, wearing a slate grey 'Mao' suit, and the Communist Party leadership watching the meticulously disciplined show from the Gate of Heavenly Peace over the Square.

New Chinese Military Parade 2009 国庆60周年特别报道直播 Shilochi

China will display its most sophisticated weapons at the upcoming military parade on Thursday morning. All weapons are made in China.
A total of 52 types of new weapon systems produced by Chinese engineers and technicians, including China's newest model of intercontinental nuclear-capable ballistic missiles, will be displayed.
Other cutting-edge weaponry includes China's new generation of tanks, sophisticated radar, airborne early warning and control aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles and satellite communication devices.
Lieutenant General Fang Fenghui, general director of the parade, told Xinhua that most of the weapons would be displayed in the parade for the first time. "Some types of equipment were displayed in previous military parades, but what to be shown in this parade are their upgraded models." Compared with the National Day military parade 10 years ago, Thursday's parade involves fewer personnel and more equipment, fewer army troops and more troops from the navy, air force and the PLA Second Artillery Force.
Fang said the formation of the phalanxes shows the ongoing transformation of the PLA from a labor-intensive force to a technology-intensive one and its ability to carry out diverse military missions.
He said the military parade will "showcase PLA's firm determination to safeguard national security and interests and maintain world peace."
A total of 56 regiments on the ground and in the air will join the parade. The parade involves more than 8,000 servicemen and women, nearly 500 tanks, missiles and other military vehicles and 151 warplanes.
China has held 13 military parades since 1949.
Sixty years ago, when Chairman Mao Zedong reviewed troops at the founding ceremony of New China, China had barely any home-grown weapons. The equipment displayed was mostly seized from enemies in the Chinese people's War of Resistance Against Japanese Regression and the War of Liberation.

世界革命精神领袖毛泽东 Chairman Mao 偉大導師毛澤東同志（东方红）

伟大领袖，伟大导师，伟大统帅，伟大舵手毛主席万岁！万岁！！万万岁！！！

革命是暴动，是一个阶级推翻一个阶级的暴烈的行动！

革命不是请客吃饭，不是做文章，不是绘画绣花，不能那样雅致，那样从容不迫，"文质彬 彬"，那样"温良恭俭让"。革命就是暴动，是一个阶级推翻一个阶级的暴烈的行动。 ——毛泽东

东方红太阳升
中国出了个毛泽东

为了建设新中国
领导我们向前进
共产党像太阳
照到那里那里亮
哪里有了共产党
那里人民得解放
大救星

战争的目的不是别的，就是"保存自己，消灭敌人"（消灭敌人，就是解除敌人的武装，也 就是所谓"剥夺敌人的抵抗力"，不是要完全消灭其肉体）。古代战争，用矛用盾：矛是进 攻的，为了消灭敌人；盾是防御的，为了保存自己。直到今天的武器，还是这二者的继续。 轰炸机、机关枪、远射程炮、毒气，是矛的发展；防空掩蔽部、钢盔、水泥工事、防毒面具 ，是盾的发展。坦克，是矛盾二者结合为一的新式武器。进攻，是消灭敌人的主要手段，但 防御也是不能废的。进攻，是直接为了消灭敌人的，同时也是为了保存自己，因为如不消灭 敌人，则自己将被消灭。防御，是直接为了保存自己的，但同时也是辅助进攻或准备转入进 攻的一种手段。退却，属于防御一类，是防御的继续；而追击，则是进攻的继续。应该指出 ：战争目的中，消灭敌人是主要的，保存自己是第二位的，因为只有大量地消灭敌人，才能 有效地保存自己。因此，作为消灭敌人之主要手段的进攻是主要的，而作为消灭敌人之辅助 手段和作为保存自己之一种手段的防御，是第二位的。战争实际中，虽有许多时候以防御为 主，而在其余时候以进攻为主，然而通战争的全体来看，进攻仍然是主要的。
