12 March 2010: On the Potential for Social Unrest, Arms Trafficking, and Kim Dong Shik’s Widow Brother and Son Sue North Korea
Here’s a very long, and very interesting report on the potential for social unrest in North Korea, from a North Korean’s perspective.
The story on how North Korea exports arms is worth a longer post than I have time to write today.
Kim Jong Il’s banker Ambassador to Switzerland is retiring. Hmmm.
A U.S. District Court has issued a summons for the Foreign Minister of North Korea. I’ll have much more to say about this another day, but the interesting point here is that the widow younger brother and son of Rev. Kim Dong Shik have indeed sued the North Korean government for his abduction and murder, something I’ve long been asking people who know Mrs. Kim to urge her to do.
South Korea still doesn’t know the identities of the four South Koreans that North Korea claims to be holding.
Remember him? Robert King says something: “We will continue to press human right issues as we’ve done in the past.” You know, it’s that “in the past” part that sucks all the credibility out of the entire promise.
The President of Brazil is a hypocritical ass.
North Korea is reportedly producing portraits of Kim Jong-un en masse to prepare for the succession. Seems like terrible timing to me, but
Tax DayKim Ilsung’s birthday approaches.Looks like we found our second most fat North Korean – after KJI of course – in the capacity of Ri Chol, NK ‘ambassador’ to La Suisse.
Our perhaps third as Jong Nam is a bit of fatty too, is he not.
More tubby than de Benos? Gosh!
I’ve just found out that said nutter is entrusted with the official website of thd DPRK. I know it’s designated an Enemy of the Interweb, but that’s too much.
