In a kingdom the people are not free, they are all subjects who can be executed at the slightest whim of the monarch.

North Korea’s propaganda machine has long kept alive the myth of a serene, all-powerful ruling dynasty that enjoyed universal love and support at home.

I beg your pardon?

What kind of dunderhead would believe anything the NK said?

If they said it was raining I would leave my umbrella at home.

They lie.

All the time.

About everything.

They are something like demonrats in that regard.

I would have thought that A&E, in keeping with their desired target audience, would want to replace the Robertson's show with a reality show about Barney Frank's home life. They could call it "D*ck Dynasty" [vowel censored].

Their primary commercial sponsor could be K-Mart

Problems with the law can also be made to go away with bribes. “Two people in Cheongjin, North Hamgyong Province were sentenced to two years in prison for watching a South Korean film. They were put in prison in Kangwon Province but paid some money and were released three days later,” a defector testified. “Rumor has it that prison guards are getting rich.”

A source said, “There’s a widespread sense that everything from cradle to grave can be solved with money.” In border regions, guards earn money by turning a blind eye to or even helping would-be defectors.

Currently, a U.S. dollar is worth about 7,000 North Korean won. Would-be defectors pay border guards $40 to cross the Apnok or Duman rivers, and $60 to carry old or feeble people on their back.
