Youth Committee for Study of Juche Idea Inaugurated in Ethiopia
Pyongyang, February 24, 2006 (KCNA) -- An inaugural ceremony of the Ethiopian Youth Committee for the Study of the Juche Idea was held in Addis Ababa on Feb. 7. At the ceremony Nigatu Dagnachew, vice-chairman of the Addis Ababa Youth Association, was elected chairman of the committee. He said at the ceremony that the Juche idea clarified the truth that one should resolve all problems arising in the revolution and construction by oneself on the basis of the principle that man is the master of his destiny and he has strength to shape his destiny. He stressed that the Ethiopian youths should make a deep study of works of President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il so as to fulfill their mission and role as the master of future and take the lead in developing the country.
Another day, another ludicrous example of blatantly hypocritical propaganda. What can Pyongyang teach Addis Ababa anyway? How to cope without transportation?

Ooops, they saw us.

Opposition MPs in South Korea yesterday revealed details of what they said was North Korean forging of $100 notes, including a photograph of the plant that printed them.
Eh, speaking of great photos...
America has claimed for years that Kim Jong-il's regime makes up for its lack of funds by dealing in drugs and laundering fake US notes.











But South Korea, eager not to rouse the North to anger and jeopardise its policy of detente, has "denied" that there is "firm evidence".
It's really hard to support South Korea when SHIT like this is consistant... Fuckin' "detente" pussies.

ROME North Korea will formally ask the U.N. World Food Program for aid for children and pregnant women, several months after the communist nation demanded a halt to emergency food help. It's fortunate North Korea was able to eat for 5 months, at least. It IS an improvement on the usual 0 months...

Last year, North Korea demanded that international aid groups stop sending emergency humanitarian assistance such as food by the end of 2005
Sunday September 18, 2005 if I do recall...

North Korea asked that the emergency aid be converted to long-term development assistance. Wow. That quite a(nother) broken promise.

The U.N will accept the request. It's much easier to simply inject more anaesthetic, than it is to operate...

UPDATE: Of course, the Knight's Right...

Day to day operation...

How did this video ever see the light of day? It's hard not to be convinced it's real...

Favored outcome...

Almost half of juniors surveyed, who will get their first voting rights in the 2007 presidential election, said in a recent poll that South Korea should side with North Korea if Washington attacks nuclear facilities in the North and?!?without Seoul's consent.
If "almost half" side with North Korea, who would the MAJORITY be siding with? What in the fuck kind of a loaded dice question is that? South Koreans must ENJOY having a third-world communist dictatorship next door...

South Korea plans to provide North Korea with 1.2 trillion won ($1 billion) in aid this year, including rice and fertilizers. The total sum of international welfare amounts to 0.16 percent of South Korea's gross national income.
*snicker* Perhaps Canada should become a communist State, and mooch 0.16% off of America's gross national income. We could be living the sweeet life!

Beyond Farcical

U.S. Violation of International Human Rights Norms under Fire
Pyongyang, February 20, 2006 (KCNA) -- The Law Institute of the DPRK Academy of Social Sciences in an indictment on Feb. 19 branded the United States as the world's biggest human rights abuser it only gets more ludicrous... and a typical criminal state as it has failed to guarantee its citizens elementary rights and wantonly violated international human rights norms in "different parts of the world" what "parts of the world" would that be? while being keen on spreading American-style view on value worldwide only. The indictment said: The U.S. has violated international human rights norms set "in different parts of the world" which call for providing the people with the elementary right to existence. It has been so indifferent to the state measures to provide the popular masses with elementary right to existence that they are now finding themselves in miserable conditions baffling human imagination. This "report" is baffling MY imagination... The disaster caused by hurricane Katrina that hit New Orleans last August is a clear indication of the Bush administration's anti-popular policies. Well, I guess the K.C.N.A is on par with every OTHER fucking left-wing media outlet. According to the "latest information", 38.2 million Americans are exposed to constant hunger and the number of the unemployed and the homeless reached tens of millions. Los Angeles, a center of the U.S. movie industry considered as a symbol of luxuries, is, in fact, called "city of starvation" due to all of the anorexic actors. The city health authorities in their official announcement on Sept. 7, 2001 said that about 1.4 million people in the city suffer from the shortage of food and more than 584,000 are languishing in the mire of abject starvation. Which should seem like a positive numbers to North Koreans. In 2001 alone about one million workers became jobless due to the "serious economic crisis", an all-time high in a decade. The rich who account for no more than 0.02 percent of the population of the U.S. hold 60 percent of its assets. As opposed to North Korea, where 0.00004% of the population holds 100% of it's asset. According to the report released by the U.S. census institution, more than 43.448 million Americans or 16 percent of the population, are denied medical treatment for the mere reason that they cannot afford to insure themselves for health care. As opposed to 100% of North Koreans denied decent medical treatment for the mere reason that they are North Korean. International human rights norms which call for providing people with political rights are also violated in the U.S by democracy. The U.S. election system has so many restrictions that broad popular masses are not allowed to participate in the election. As opposed to the North Korean system of 100% of the popular masses never participating in an election. There are more than 60 kinds of election restrictions in the U.S. whose federal states have their own laws. The freedom of thinking is also encroached upon in America. About 200,000 agents and over 21,000 repressive machines are now engaged in quelling progressive ideas in the U.S. The freedom of speech is also abridged in America. The U.S. encroaches upon the right of independent mass media at home and abroad. As opposed to the North Korean government version of BEING the "mass-media". The U.S. claimed its presence in Iraq is to help it in its "reconstruction." It, however, pressurized and manipulated the Iraqi media to release reports in favor of the U.S., far from helping them observe impartiality and objectivity in their service, thus encroaching upon the freedom of speech of the mass media. According to the information disclosed by the Los Angeles Times late in November 2005, the U.S. paid 40 to 2,000 U.S. dollars for every pro-U.S. article carried by an Iraqi publication and more than 1,000 articles of that content were published by Iraqi media. As opposed to the North Korean "media" industry, consisting of K.C.N.A staff getting paid fuckall to write vile anti-American shit such as this... The Lincoln Group directed by a special institution of the U.S. has 15 Iraqi newspapers under its control. Such violation of the freedom of speech of the mass media obliged to represent justice and impartiality only is an outright challenge to international human rights norms. Isn't providing Iraq with 15 newspapers the opposite of a "violation of the freedom of speech"? The U.S. has also breached international human rights norms which call for eradicating all forms of racial discrimination. More than one third of the black are denied job for the mere reason that they are colored. According to information made public by the Los Angeles city authorities on Dec. 20, 2001, from September to December 2001, the year when the Bush administration took office, the number of crimes related to the racial discrimination increased almost eight times in the city as compared with that in the same period of the previous year. George W. Bush increased black crime 8 fold? One year in office!?!? To top it all, the living conditions of the black are awfully deplorable as their rights are violated due to racial discrimination. The U.S. also violates international human rights norms that call for banning torture and providing the prisoners with rights concerning judicial administration. After launching wars in different parts of the world under the pretext of combating terrorism following the Sept. 11 incident, the U.S. administration instructed the military and the CIA to set up secret prisons in its military bases in different countries and regions of the world and aboard its navy warships for the purpose of interrogating POWs and terror suspects. What alternative did America have? It has practiced medieval and barbarous torture against them. Its barbaric torture took the lives of more than 70 prisoners in those overseas secret prisons of the CIA in 2002 alone and more than 9,000 prisoners were reported to have been put to unbearable torture in those prisons on charges of being terror suspects as of the first half of 2004. As seen above, the U.S. is the worst violator of international human rights norms and the world's biggest human rights abuser. It is illogical and a mockery and an insult to the genuine human rights for such a country to talk about "protection of human rights". This is true. TALKING about Human Rights is for the U.N. It's time to DO something about Human Rights in North Korea. Get ready for a doozy of a closing sentence... The law institute appeals to the lawyers all over the world who value justice and truth to turn out in the actions to bring the Bush administration to human rights justice. An army of anti-Bush lawyers ain't enough to give me nightmares...

Over Gratitude

Reception for Overseas Compatriots
Pyongyang, February 17 (KCNA) -- A reception was given in honor of overseas compatriots at the People's Palace of Culture on Thursday on the occasion of leader Kim Jong Il's birthday.

Present on invitation were overseas compatriots including members of the congratulatory group of Koreans in Japan, the congratulatory group of the General Association of Koreans in China, the congratulatory group of the Federation of Koreans in the U.S., the congratulatory group of the Federation of Koreans in Canada, the congratulatory group of the Society for Cooperation among Koreans in Germany, the congratulatory group of the Federation of Koreans in Australia, seems like an odd and vast array of "congratulatory groups"... the delegation of officials of the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan (Chongryon), the delegation of women officials of the new generation of Chongryon and the art troupes of Koreans in Japan, China and the U. S. celebrating February 16. Kim Jung Rin, secretary of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, in a speech expressed the conviction that overseas compatriots will make a tangible contribution unlike North Korea to the building of a "great prosperous powerful socialist nation"tm true to the Songun leadership of Kim Jong Il, bearing deep in mind the great pride in holding him in high esteem as the father of the nation, and not Kim Il Sung.

It goes on. But not here...

Displayed at the Pyongyang City exhibition hall are at least 3,500 potted beautiful Kimjongilias presented by officials and working people at all units of the city, representing boundless reverence for leader Kim Jong Il who has performed great exploits for the country, the nation and mankind with his great Songun revolutionary leadership. South Hamgyong, North Phyongan, South Phyongan, North Hwanghae, Jagang, Ryanggang and North Hamgyong provinces separately contributed thousands of potted Kimjongilias to exhibition halls, deeply impressing the visitors with the insane propaganda of the "Democratic" "People's" " Republic" of Korea...

Floral Basket to Kim Jong Il from Japanese Delegation
Pyongyang, February 15, 2006 (KCNA) -- Leader Kim Jong Il received a floral basket from the Japanese delegation for the study of the Juche idea on the occasion of his birthday. Weird sentence... The basket was handed to an official concerned today by Etsuko Shimada, secretary general of the Kanagawa, Japan, Prefectural Society for the Study of Kim Jong Il's Works who is heading the delegation. I think it's gonna take a little more than flowers to keep Kim Jong Il's evil rule "prefectural"...
