Re #1

As of this moment, the original source article of The Daily NK is difficult to reach, due to heavy traffic(or could be a sabotage by somebody.) Still, the pictures in the article, which are included in this post, can get through heavy traffic much better than the entire article itself.

I hope that the network traffic situation would improve as time passes by.

Re #1

Correction:

(1) In the 3rd picture from the bottom, the phrase 'snapshot 1' at the end is redundant.

(2) The bottom picture is snapshot 3.

Which one of the anti-iraq war protest groups was a big supporter of North Korea again?

[SkyPilot]

What the hell are these people so afraid of? It has to be fear that motivates them to such violence.

Re #8

Remember Ceausescu of Romania?

[SkyPilot]

The North Koreans should remember that the US has a military presence that is ready to respond on a moments notice---and respond with violence.

Make no mistake, if North Korea makes a move, the US and the South will respond in kind.

Re #12

I am not exactly sure. However, in N. Korea, it is not uncommon to have factories named after a certain date. I will let you know if I find out.:)

[Husker24]

They were probably executed for not making their productin quota.

Busy day on January 17

was there something significant that happened on that day?

Yes, but not something the NKs would celebrate:
January 17, 1991 - Start of Operation Desert Storm

Yes. Kim Jong Il got his first shipment of Viagra but unfortunately took it simultaneously with Ex-Lax, which resulted in the miserable little SOB not knowing if he was coming or going, hence: public executions to sate his rage.

As another poster said "life is cheap"

American people KILL/MURDER MILLIONS of unborn babies...someone please post the photos and videos.

[Lockbar]

Considering that is North Korea, those executed prisoners will make "good eating".

I'm as pro-life as you get.

If you want to see those pictures, stand out front of a Promise Keepers rally.
