“World according to Pyongyang” sounds like an excerpt from H.G. Wells 1984. Its difficult to imagine people sitting and listening to this with any sort of creduality. What do they do when the speach is over and go home. Do they talk about it, and its unbelievability or do they act like this is the real world and agree what the great leader has fortold because to do otherwise even in thier own home may lead to trouble? It is really a crazy world they live in.

Foriegn visiters to Kaesong increase. Wow 350 or so in this “ground breaking effort to bring the two koreas together.” Who is fooling who. South Korea is taking advantage of slave labor to help a few political cronies in the south. This is as dispicable as the nazis letting foreigners to see how thier factories with jewish workers perform. Where is Schindler when you need him?
