Filmed before the death of “The Dear Leader” Kim Jong-Il, we follow a Nepalese doctor dedicated to helping victims of cataract blindness in poor countries see again. In North Korea we see the handlers, inside the apartments, and the overall Orwellian society that is the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea is. When the victims have their bandages removed and they can finally see, instead of thanking the Doctors (who have to bring their own equipment), they thank Kim Jong-Il as if he is God and vow to work even harder for him! People in North Korea are so isolated that most of them do not even know that a man has walked on the moon. North Korea despite a population of only 23 million, has the fourth largest army in the world although malnutrition though makes the average Nork solider considerably smaller then the average South Korean (ROK) soldier.
On August 15, 1962, American soldier Joe Dresnok defected to North Korea. Burdened by a failed marriage and a terrible childhood, he somehow felt that North Korea was the answer. There have been three other Americans who defected around that time to the DPRK. Two died there and a third, Charles Jenkins married to a kidnapped Japanese woman was able to relocate to Japan.

Oh, and before I quote, it comes as no surprise this reporter uses a quote from a conservative to levy proxy criticism to another.
“I am extremely disappointed. He attacks Republicans who are tired of endless wars for Muslim Democracy. Rubio defends the Arab Spring, despite the fact it’s an Islamic uprising and Christians are being killed. Rubio preached a foreign policy that is not Conservative. It was a Wilsonian Progressive speech based on an ideology that would lead to more war,” wrote Rodan at the conservative Blogmocracy website.
The piece was published this morning.

Pyongyang, April 25 (KCNA) — All servicepersons in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea have hardened their resolution to ensure the cause of socialism with arms, upon receiving the dear respected Kim Jong Un’s celebrated work “Let Us Hold Great Comrade Kim Jong Il in High Esteem as General Secretary of Our Party Forever and Successfully Accomplish the Revolutionary Cause of Juche”.
Choe Chun Gil, a general officer of the Korean People’s Army, said:
“In his work, Supreme Commander Kim Jong Un stressed the need to hold fast to the Songun-based revolutionary line of the Workers’ Party of Korea and bolster the military might of the country in every way.
A country with weak military might can not defend its sovereignty and right to existence but will become plaything and fall victim to the imperialists in the long run. This is the bitter lesson the Korean nation drew from its past history.
As Kim Jong Un taught we will strictly establish the system of the Party’s leadership over the army, the supreme commander’s guidance system and the revolutionary military discipline throughout the army so as to further strengthen the KPA into the army of the party and the leader.”
Hyon Ki Chong, an officer of KPA, said:
“The work carries the noble intention of the supreme commander, who wants the KPA to display its honor of being standard-bearers of the Songun revolution in accomplishing the revolutionary cause of Juche.
We will intensify our unit’s military training to increase its combat capability in every way this significant year making the 80th birthday of the KPA.
All servicepersons of our unit are determined to prepare themselves to be a-match-for-a-hundred stalwart fighters, possessed of strong mentality, indomitable fighting spirit, and high combat ability and quality.
If the enemies invade sky, ground and sea of the DPRK even an inch, we will wipe out them at one stroke and acclaim the supreme commander at the square of national reunification.”

Pyongyang, April 25 (KCNA) — The special operation action group of the Supreme Command of the Korean People’s Army on Monday issued a notice that the special actions by the armed forces of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea would start soon to meet the reckless challenge of south Korea’s Lee Myung Bak group of traitors.
Upon hearing the notice, the servicepersons of the Korean People’s Internal Security Forces are intensifying their combat training, with the strong will to wipe out the group of traitors.
Shouting such slogan as “Cut to pieces the Lee Myung Bak swarm of rats to the last one”, they in the training fired machine-guns and automatic rifles at targets portraying the Lee swarm of rats.
A general officer, Kim Chang Il, told KCNA:
“I feel relieved to hear the notice. It represented our unanimous will to take revenge upon the provocateurs.
The special action group will knock down and blow up rat-like Myung Bak and his swarm of rats and their den in a flash.
The group of rats will terribly shudder at the might of the invincible armed forces trained under the care of the peerlessly great persons of Mt. Paektu.”
An officer, Kim Myong Chol, said:
“The time has come when we should show in actuality the might of our armed forces to the Lee Myung Bak swarm of rats hell-bent on hideous wrongdoings.
I am eager to join in the special action group to cut off the head of rattish Myung Bak.
My capability only is enough to bury those disgusting rats into the South Sea once a sacred war starts.
Supreme Commander, please give us an order!”
An officer, Kim Myong Il, said:
“I am relieved to see this riddled image of disgusting rat-like Myung Bak who behaves like a puppy knowing no fear of tiger.
We are determined to wipe out the Lee swarm of rats to the last one and accomplish the historic cause of national reunification, the long-cherished desire of all the Korean people.”

Me and Rodan have been quoted a few times.
Kim Chunk-cheetos aka Charles Foster Johnson.
Pyongyang, April 25 (KCNA) — The dear respected Kim Jong Un published his famous work “Let Us Hold Great Comrade Kim Jong Il in High Esteem as General Secretary of Our Party Forever and Successfully Accomplish the Revolutionary Cause of Juche”.
His work has evoked big responses from the people across the country.
Kim Chang Hwan, a department head of Kim Il Sung University, told KCNA:
“The dear respected Kim Jong Un, who has a strong sense of moral obligation to leader Kim Jong Il, is creditably leading the Korean revolution to victory, true to his behests.
The work fully reflects his will to accomplish the revolutionary cause of Juche with Kim Jong Il held in high esteem as general secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea forever and with his ideas and lines as eternal guidelines.
Kim Jong Un is an ever-victorious banner as well as a symbol of the Juche-based revolution.
The work calls for bringing up a host of able scientists and technicians, who would be responsible for building a thriving socialist nation.
We will do our utmost to train the students to be frontrunners in pushing back the frontiers of latest science and technology, bearing deep in mind Kim Jong Un’s noble outlook on posterity.”
Song Yun Hui, chairwoman of the Management Board of the Migok Cooperative Farm in Sariwon City, said:
“The work underscores the need to regard Kim Jong Il’s behests as important guidelines and thoroughly implement them without slightest vacillation, thereby creditably translating into brilliant reality his plans and desire.
To fully settle the food problem was a lifelong desire of Kim Jong Il, and it is also the steadfast will of Kim Jong Un.
We will increase per-hectare grain output by applying latest farming science and technology in line with the Party’s policy on agriculture.”

And then Japan began to make good goods. We all know that story.

Even though I agree mostly with this, I can’t help but feel this is another subtle attack on religious and conservative thought. There’s been a lot of articles like this lately.

@ Mars:
I don’t agree with this at all. Too many people already have some disbelief. I think the more you think analytically the more you realize that there is a God. To me it is just more psycho-babble to steer more people into thinking there is no God when there has been a huge push socially that to believe in God you are somehow less intelligent.

Saw that earlier…tough to get past the “belief in a G-d to different degrees” part for me.
Either you do or you don’t.
To me, science and religion are trying to describe opposing sides of a single coin (call it existence) to the other. And the greater detail they describe to the other, the more convinced the other becomes that the people on the other side, are crazy. Rinse, repeat.
@ Brick:
Oh dear I didn’t mean it to come off racist. Good grief I don’t care what color skin the man has, but what he has done to this country or is trying to do.

When the Left successfuly “disproves” the existence of G-d, the State defaults to the highest authority. It’s an integral part of the plan.

Especially since the core of being a liberal is to believe there is nothing more powerful or important than yourself. Every liberal is their own god. Thus the saying by libs “communism didn’t work because I wasn’t in charge”.

Exactly!
It still kind of baffles me, how so many people know the playbook that’s being used against us, but for whatever reason, it’s still so damn successful?
@ Brick:
No harm, no foul! Wasn’t sure if you were serious or being sarcastic.
Now remember you mention how firey my personality can be upthread!
Earlier this week Dick Morris said that we will begin to see the MFM bail on Dear Leader. We shall see.
I’m a little afraid of the riots that’ll happen if the Chosen One gets booted out this fall.

Have to say…during my limited time here…I don’t think I’ve encountered any color over character types here at all. Which really should be the norm everywhere, IMO.
It’s weird, but even though I’m not particularly religious, I do accept the existence of the supernatural. More and more the last few years, I’ve become convinced that some people are truly demon ridden. There doesn’t seem to be any other explanation for such casual evil on their part.

It’s funny when I read that, as much as I’m inclined to agree -- it, for whatever reason, reminded me when Charles issued his first, that I remember, dictate NOT to refer to Obama as the Anti-Christ. Good times.

I’m not afraid of the riots. It will only back-fire on the One. But then again I don’t live in a big city. They have been trying to set this fire since the Zimmerman case. Didn’t work in Florida so they moved it to L.A. to express their outrage hoping it will gain traction there.

Dylan is a god. I had the good fortune to see him and Paul Simon in Austin about 12 years ago. Simon was first and he was great. At the end of his set, Dylan came out and jammed with Simon on The Boxer. Dylan played his set and for the last song, Simon came out and jammed with Dylan on Like a Rolling Stone. It was amazing. As good a concert as I have ever seen.

In my neck of the woods, we’re attempting to insulate ourselves from a second term, that’s for sure. Pa now has a law that ID must be produced to vote. The fact that it passed tells me, the pendulum has likely peaked and will start swinging the other way.

There were 11 million firearms legitimately sold in the U.S. last year. No doubt some of those were used, I wonder how many millions of them were new. Sales are reaching new records every month.

You and me both. The only way to combat this evil is to pray hard, vote and keep your powder dry.
This has been coming for awhile now. The pc crap has floated to the top. A lot of Americans do not like this class-warfare, race warfare, infringement of our God given rights warfare, the attacks on our freedom OF religion. They have pushed too far this time.
@ doriangrey:
Very true. I just am thinking a step at a time. I know it’s going to be a pain getting the ones in my state out. Especially since prevailing opinion seems to be that our immensely corrupt governor is going to run for Max Baucus’ seat after Max’s possible retirement in 2014. This is going to be trading one corrupt bastard for an even more corrupt bastard. (By the way, does anyone watch Letterman? My corrupt governor was on there last night.) Total self-promoting sob.
@ huckfunn:
Got a few new ones myself and taking a friend out soon to buy his first. BO is the best firearms salesman in a generation.

The day after the concert, the goofy music columnist for the Austin American Statesman (the local rag) said “Dylan should never play lead guitar”. The guy clearly didn’t understand. One of the things that makes Dylan DYLAN is his somewhat discordant vocals, guitar and harmonica.

I’m curious. How did a western mountain state like Montana end up with a turd like Baucus?
I haven’t watched Letterman since he was conflicted when O’Reilly asked him if he wanted us to win the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Dave’s response was “I don’t know”. Been all done with him ever since.

I’ve been done with Letterman longer than that. That’s why I was asking if anyone saw it. I didn’t.
I don’t know. And Max is largely loved, as is this scumbag of a governor.
The only good news is, if the stats keep up the way they are, we’re getting rid of John “Flattop” Tester.
