Weird development...

A while back, musings of an announcement of the North Korean line of succession swirled around the international media. While it was hard to take any of it as more than mere speculation... Kim Jong Chol has apparently surfaced in Germany to watch Eric Clapton... The hypocrisy of Kim Jong Il's son enjoying an Eric Clapton concert, is obvious to anyone that has witnessed the virulent anti-Capitalist propaganda espoused by North Korea.At any rate, the successor to the evil throne of the "Democratic" "People's" "Republic" of Korea remains speculative...

Rodong Sinmun on Great Leadership of Kim Jong Il
Pyongyang, June 18, 2006 (KCNA) -- It is thanks to the wise leadership of Kim Jong Il*snicker*, who has opened up a turning phase of developing revolution with the might of idea, that the Korean army and people have firmly defended Korean-style socialism and opened up a new brilliant era of national prosperity at a time when blatant lies are needed ever so more, to convince people the moves of the U.S. imperialists and other reactionaries against the DPRK became all the more vicious in political, military, economic, ideological, cultural and all other fields and the Korean revolution was facing a harsh trial. The harsh trial referred to here, regards the daily struggle for sustenance that North Korean socialism offers... Rodong Sinmun Sunday says this in a signed article. It goes on, wordily: Kim Jong Il's famous work "Giving Priority to Ideological Work is Essential for Accomplishing Socialism", published on June 19, Juche 84 (1995), reflects his firm faith and will to defend and accomplish the socialist cause of Juche with the might of arms and idea. No one can deny that North Korea's a stereotypical socialistic nation...
His wise leadership*snicker* which opened up a new era of national prosperity with the might of idea finds its expression in the fact that he developed the socialist idea as required by the times and the developing revolution and brought about a radical turn in the ideological work so as to arouse the army and people to the drive for defending the country and building a great prosperous powerful nation.
Fuck! That's one hell of a propagandized sentence...
Thanks to his distinguished wisdom and energetic ideological and theoretical activities socialism has been placed on a scientific foundation and the Songun idea shines as the guidelines for the worst run country of the present times. A lot of his famous and lengthily titled works including "Socialism Is a Science", "On Preserving the Juche Character and National Character of the Revolution and Construction" and "The Line of Songun Revolution Is a Great Revolutionary Line of Our Times and an Ever-victorious Banner of Our Revolution" were the driving force which helped our army and people to build a great prosperous powerful nation under the Songun leadership of the Workers' Party of Korea, (no wonder the country's impoverished) keenly realizing the validity of the socialist cause and the conviction of its sure victory, and lift-giving water which gave a fresh vitality to the socialist movement of the world. A rosy future is in store for our socialist country as it is led by Kim Jong Il, a peerless thinker and theoretician who illumines the road ahead of the times.
It's safe to say Rodong Sinmun loves Kim Jong Il as much as it hates America. Of course, it's not like North Koreans are ALLOWED to express or apprehend any sentiment that differs...

Fail safe test...

The ballistic missile program of the "Democratic" "People's" "Republic" of Korea steadily advances. Of all the technologies that the country spends it's scarce resources in developing, ICBMs are really the only priority...
"The (North) Korean army and people will do their best to increase the military deterrent with sharp vigilance to cope with the moves of the U.S., which is hell-bent on provocations for war,"
Standard and consistent D.P.R.K policy. How do you negotiate with a government that has only this to say?
"If the enemies ignite a war eventually, the Korean army and people will mercilessly wipe out the aggressors and give vent to the deep-rooted grudge of the nation,"
To the world's detriment, the Bush administration has decided to take the same approach to North Korea that Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter did. Example:
Snow noted that North Korea made a series of commitments in six-nation talks over its nuclear program in September, including that they would "bargain in good faith."
Utter irrational nonsense. Again, how in the hell do you "bargain in good faith" with a dictatorship that has long declared to it's citizens your it's most heinous enemy?
"We expect them to come back to the table," Snow said. "And we hope there's not going to be a launch."
A crock of fucking bullshit. What in the FUCK are more negotiations going to accomplish? North Korea has been delegating peace while simultaneously building weapon systems and oppressing it's population... For decades.
The time for talk ended long ago. It's time to take a stand against this tyranny, as appeasement of despotism has been proven to end in failure only. Nobody is going to take a single goddamned action against deliberate North Korean provocations however, 'cause letting citizens of the country starve in despair is much much more politically expedient...
