Relax, North Korea has given us something new to speculate about
By Anna Fifield October 23
Conspiracy theorists disappointed with the reappearance of Kim Jong Un earlier this month can breathe a sigh of relief. North Korea has provided new fodder for unchecked speculation, wild rumors and frenzied tea-leaf reading.
Citing fears about the spread of Ebola, the worlds most closed state abruptly told Western travel agencies Thursday that it would not allow foreign tourists to enter, starting on Friday.
Never mind that its 8,261 miles from Monrovia to Pyongyang. Never mind that North Korea is hardly a major tourist destination. And never mind that no other country in the world has sealed its borders in response to the outbreak of the virus.

P!
If ebola was to come to NK. the people would try to
eat it, the state would arrest it, and Kim would have
his picture taken with it.
If that happens, the problem called N. Korea will take care of itself. Kim will die a horrible death, along with his regime.
Agreed.
Time for Dennis to dance "Oppa Pyongyang style".
The question is raised. Is this really about ebola or is it something else? I don’t know but, take a look at this. Article opines that Kim has “carried out an extensive purge during his absence” from the public.

Kim - 1
obola - 0
Would be interesting to see what if anything is mentioned about Ebola in the North Korean press. Also, if diplomats in the four effected four nations in West Africa will even be allowed back to Pyongyang. Could be a good excuse for them to defect.
