North Korea compares Bush to Hitler, criticizes U.S. report on religious freedom
Associated Press | November 22, 2005

SEOUL -- North Korea denounced U.S. President George W. Bush as a "wicked man" comparable to Adolf Hitler, and labeled his advocating democracy a pretext for invading other countries.

"The U.S. admonition for 'freedom' and 'democracy' is to invent pretexts for violating sovereignty of other countries and nations and establishing its unchallenged domination over the world," the North's official Korean Central News Agency wrote late Monday.

Bush, addressing South Korea-based U.S. troops Sunday during an Asian tour, didn't directly mention the North but alluded to the communist nation as he praised the capitalist South.

South Korea "is now a beacon of liberty that shines across the most heavily armed border in the world," Bush said. "It is a light reaching to a land shrouded in darkness."

"Together the United States and (South Korea) have shown that the future belongs to freedom, and one day all Koreans will enjoy the blessings of freedom," he said.

The North said Bush's "reckless remarks would entail adverse consequences in the process for denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula."

KCNA called Bush a "warlike president" who "took the lead in advocating state-sponsored terrorism" and "openly defended murderous torture in prisons" -- which it claimed were reminiscent of the Auschwitz concentration camp.

"History proves that the ringleaders of fascism that stood stern trials for their crimes against humanity advocated 'freedom' and 'democracy' more noisily than any others," KCNA wrote. "This will only more glaringly reveal his true colors as a wicked man whom the world compares to fascist fanatic Hitler."

North Korea has bristled at U.S. criticism of its human rights record, seeing it as part of an attempt to overthrow the regime.

Its fears grew after the United States invaded Iraq, and Pyongyang has claimed it was compelled to build nuclear weapons for self-defense.

On Tuesday, the North also denounced a recent U.S. government report citing the country's lack of religious freedom.

The report "is part of a U.S. plot to isolate and stifle anti-U.S. countries one by one," the North's official Rodong Sinmun daily said in a commentary carried by KCNA.

"The process of denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula can progress only in an atmosphere of mutual respect and trust," the newspaper said. The United States and four other countries have sought since 2003 to persuade the North to disarm, with China hosting talks on the matter. In September, the delegates reached a breakthrough accord in which the North pledged to abandon its nuclear programs in exchange for aid and security assurances, but there has since been no progress on how to implement the agreement.

Pyongyang threatens "to multiply by thousand" its nuclear dissuasion

SEOUL - the Ministry for Foreign Affairs north-Korean threatened "to multiply by thousand" its deterrent power nuclear after the United Nations vote expressing its "serious concern" vis-a-vis with the violations from the humans right in this country, indicated Tuesday the north-Korean news service KCNA.

In an official statement, the ministry qualified this resolution of "attempt absurdity" of Washington to reverse the Stalinist mode.

"the Korean people will defend his invaluable socialist system and will multiply by thousand his capacity of nuclear dissuasion to ensure his defense in some situation or occasion that it is", indicates the text quoted by the official news service.

In a motion presented by the European Union and massively adopted on November 18 by 84 votes against 22, the General meeting of the United Nations denounces "generalized, massive violations and low registers of the humans right". She also mentions "the practice of torture (...), the executions public, the imposition of the death penalty on political grounds, the existence of a great number of penitentiary camps and the very frequent recourse to the forced labour".

South Korea abstained from, estimating preferable that the file is approached within the framework of the South Korean overall policy of reconciliation with the Stalinist State of North Korea.

At the time of a fourth series of talks in Peijing on September 19, the North Korea had engaged on the principle of giving up its nuclear programs, in a verifiable way, in exchange of a help energy guarantees of safety. But the communist dictatorship had, after these engagements, marked which it would give up the nuclear power only after having obtained a light water reactor of civil use.

"the animated current American administration of a hostility become inveterate with regard to the democratic popular Republic of Korea (RPDC), accelerated its attempt absurdity to arrive to a ' change of régime' under cover of the ' rights of the homme'", indicates the ministry for which motion "does not count only the barking of one dog to the moon".

Among the 22 country having voted against the resolution, are Barbados, Belarus, China, Cuba, Malaysia, Indonesia, Sudan, Turkmenistan, Venezuela and Zimbabwe.

They denounced the policy of "selective judgment" carried out by the European Union and the United States, affirming that these countries thus wished "to cover their own violations of the humans right". They underlined the need for respecting the cultural, religious characteristics and policies of each one.

Sadly, these are all interchangeable.

The question becomes this: Does the DNC and Move-On/ANSWER/DU/Indymedia/Moore get their talking points from North Korea or vice versa?

None the less, old "Kim the Ill" really is a nutcase.

Though as a side note, the Koreans can pronounce "Ls" and many I met while at Camp Casey spoke very good English. And they despised the "rent a mobs" the North Korean sympathizers and spies would round up to protest at US bases.

The second nicest thing I experienced there was in the spring of 03 when I was crossing the road between the Dragon Inn and 8th Army HQ trying to get to the Korean War Museum. There were five North Korean nutcases protesting some imagined US crime. I was alone on the other side of the crossing and hesitated to walk towards them as they blocked my route. The South Koreans around me formed a circle and one said 'not to worry, we know how to handle these traitors'. We walked as a group until I got to another group of US soldiers (from my unit) and the group opened up to let me out, all the while shouting insults to the North Korean protesters.

But then the media ignores these acts and makes it seem like all South Koreans hate the US.

Sheesh! Talk about exchanging truth for a lie. North Korea is ruled by a monster every bit as evil as Hitler.

"They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen."

Romans 1:25
