U.S. Condemned for Pulling Up DPRK over Drug Issue [funny soviet-style language used in article]

Pyongyang, March 5 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the DPRK Foreign Ministry gave the following answer to the question raised by KCNA today as regards the U.S. renewed smear campaign against the DPRK over the "drug issue". The U.S. State Department in an "annual report on drug control" on March 1 preposterously asserted that the DPRK is considering drug trafficking as a "state policy".

This mud-slinging is a product of the U.S. policy of isolating and stifling DPRK. It is no more than a foolish plot to tarnish the image of the dignified DPRK.

The DPRK, a state guided by the man-centered Juche idea, bans by law the use, transaction and production of drug which renders people mentally deformed. The import of spiritual stimulants for scientific research is under a strict state control and in this field the DPRK has long maintained a close contact and cooperation with the International Narcotic Control Board in this field.

The U.S. had better settle the problem of the fin de siecle drug-related crimes rife in the American society before exercising the super- state "authority," which no one granted to it, to slander others.

The more frequently the U.S. releases annual reports to impair the prestige of others, the more saliently they will reveal its social corruption and weakness.

The U.S. would be well advised to mind its own business.

North Korea is a very intriguing country. I am amazed a country with such policies, and Soviet-like outlook on the world, continues to exist today.

The whole site is a look back to the old Soviet Union. Consider this link:

"The U.S. Iraqi war reduced the whole land of Iraq to ashes and to a huge abattoir as defenseless peaceable civilians were massacred."

And then they went on to teach their people something:

"The reality in Iraq, a graveyard of human rights, teaches the bitter lesson that if a country loses its sovereignty, the human rights of its people are bound to be savagely violated."

Damn. I can almost hear this said in an old Soviet style voice.

I usually go on their site daily. Very interesting and intriguing.

"The DPRK, a state guided by the man-centered Juche idea..."

I had not heard about "Juche," so I looked it up:

 Juche (self-reliance) ideology consists mainly of two parts -- the philosophical theory, which maintains that the masses are the masters of history and revolution, and the guiding principles, or the "Revolutionary View of the Leader," which asserts that "nonetheless the masses are not able to take up spontaneously any revolutionary course unless they are organized into revolutionary forces and are led by the Suryong (the Leader)." (A Handbook, 1996: 11)

A whole "ideology," merely to justify hereditary dictatorship, of the worst kind.

The regime still exists. The populace is starving to death.
