The North Website

I found the web site for the North Korean government and just had to go there to read what it says. I'm sure you have noticed that I post quite a bit on the North, but lets face it, it is just so weird, so amazing, so sad. [link]

This site is, unfortunately, blocked by the South government. I have no idea why, but all I can think is that they are afraid that people might actually read something that they are trying to hide in the South, like the concrete inaction wall the South build between the countries, or that people will fall for all the crap and defect to the wrong way.

Anyway, I asked a friend in the Philippines, Queenie, to sent me some of the stories. Here is one with quick comments from me

Inter-Korean Cooperation Called for

Pyongyang, March 17 (KCNA) -- In order to achieve a signal success in the struggle for national reunification this year the Korean nation should put an end to such acts of treachery as turning one's back on fellow countrymen and cooperating with foreign forces.

Rodong Sinmun Monday urges this in a signed article.

It goes on:

To persist in collusion and tie-up with foreign forces for aggression at a time when the U.S. imperialists are becoming evermore undisguised in their adventurous military provocations to the DPRK is absolutely intolerable as they are treacherous acts of hamstringing the efforts to develop the north-south relations and promote the cause of national reunification and doing harm to the destiny of the nation.

They are always going on about this. Do they even know what Imperialism means? Notice how they accuse, but never provide any kind of evidence at all.

Any cooperation with foreign forces for aggression is little short of a treacherous move to totally negate and scrap the historic June 15 joint declaration.

Huh? What aggression?

The spirit of "By our nation itself" is enshrined by the compatriots as patriotic soul and this has become the spirit of the nation which no one can quell. For the south Korean warmongers to cooperate with foreign forces in their moves for a war of aggression against the north, turning their faces away from inter-Korean cooperation, is nothing but a treacherous act of denying the spirit of "By our nation itself" and, furthermore, reducing the joint declaration to a dead paper.

"By our nation itself", as in hosting this site in Japan, and unable to feed your own people, and forging dollars so that you can use the nice Imperialist money to get food, from other?

Warmonger, the South? Who has he million plus man army here? Who feeds their soldiers before they feed the people?

The acts of pursuing the cooperation with outsiders instead of seeking inter-Korean cooperation should be condemned as grave criminal moves to maintain power and gratify selfish desire in return for undermining the basis and cornerstone for developing the north-south relations and leaving the destiny of the nation to the tender mercy of foreign forces.

What? What outsiders? Do they even know that there is a world map and countries outside of the visible range of Korea? Global village, you cant stop it anymore.

Cooperation with outsiders leads to confrontation between the north and the south, a war of aggression against the north and throws a hurdle in the way of achieving reunification. If cooperation with foreign forces for aggression is allowed to continue in south Korea quite contrary to the need of the era and the aspiration of the nation, this will put the north-south relations in the worst crisis once again and lay a stumbling block in the way of the cause of national reunification, too. Cooperation with foreign forces should never be allowed as it goes against the June 15 era of reunification. Inter-Korean cooperation alone leads to the road of patriotism.

More talking, still not saying anything useful.
