N. Korea: U.S. Counterfeiting Own Currency

North Korea has accused the United States of counterfeiting its own currency to fabricate evidence that the communist state is engaged in manufacturing fake U.S. hundred dollar bills.
North Korean police said late Wednesday that authorities have obtained "shocking information" the CIA hired counterfeit experts to produce fake currencies at U.S. military bases worldwide.
"They let these notes find their way to the DPRK and go out of it in the course of commercial transaction in a desperate bid to term it 'producer of counterfeit notes,'" the North's Ministry of People's Security said in the statement, carried by the country's official Korean Central News Agency.
DPRK stands for the North's official name, Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
The United States has accused of the North of manufacturing and circulating fake $100 bills, one of the illegal activities allegedly carried out by Pyongyang that has prompted Washington to slap financial sanctions against the communist state.
North Korea has called the accusations a "sheer lie" and pledged it won't return to six-nation talks on its nuclear program unless the sanctions are lifted.
Washington has urged the North to come back to the negotiating table without conditions, saying the financial restrictions are a law enforcement matter unrelated to the nuclear issue.
The North's police also claimed the CIA is orchestrating production and circulation of photos and video footage of staged scenes to support its claim the communist state is engaged in manufacturing drugs and other illegal activities.
The Korean-language version of the statement said the North apprehended a group of unidentified "foreign criminals" who sneaked into the country to film a "nonexistent drug factory" in North Korea in return for a large sum of money. It didn't provide details, including who might have commissioned them.
"Forces hostile to the DPRK including those in the U.S. and Japan are working hard to fabricate what they call 'evidence' and 'proofs' by employing every conceivable means and despicable method to brand the DPRK as a 'criminal state' and 'lawless state' over 'human rights abuse,' 'drug smuggling' and 'counterfeit notes,'" the North's statement said.
The nuclear talks, involving China, Japan, the two Koreas, Russia and the United States, last took place in November and have since been on hold because the North disputes the U.S. sanctions.
May in two decades, theconspiracy theories they peddle would be as sophisticated ad their skill of making supernotes. However, N. Korean regime could be long-gone by then.
Ping!
The government is allowing conterfeit citizens too.....
When does Kim Jong 11 become the Godfather or Tony Monanta LOL! George say hellooo to my little friends
1+1=3
I can't help but think they eat lead paint with their rice.
Did they stop the printing presses long enough to make this announcement?
I doubt it.
Yeah, they also sprinke radioactive waste over it as their condiment.:)
Therefore, 0 = 1.:)
Now we have Chavez in Venezuela proclaiming that the Yanqui is about to invade as does N.Korea and Iran. It is the prime method to distract the local population and to make others check behind the mirror. You know its not true but as Mark Twain may have said; "A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes."
I'm quite sure that if only Kim Jong Il and Ahmanijihadinjand or whatever his name is Iran wanted to improve their own propaganda all they have to do is get on DU and copy the BS the useful idiots of this country spout. In fact, they probably do.
Lol.
Who knew that Baghdad Bob liked kimchee?
Or maybe it's the roast dog that attracted him.
Or maybe the opportunity to lie for money!
<< North Korea has accused the United States of counterfeiting its own currency ....
.... [Our] government is allowing conterfeit "citizens" too ..... >>
Yes it is. But its continuous counterfeiting of our currency is, slightly, the greater evil.
And has been ever since the ferals discovered the insidious efficacy of "deficit spending," "fractional reserve 'banking'" and, before Keynes, the means and machination by which [By continuously increasing its supply] it debases and counterfeits our currency: the Feral Reserve.
And our every bit as systemically effecaciously un-and-anti-American universally economics-illiterate mess media are hand in glove with it.
The feral gummint incited, supported, encouraged and facilitated criminal alien invasion and colonization goes on unabated. And during just the short few years of the Bush presidency the value of the United States Dollar has, by annual double-digit percentage increases in the money supply, been reduced to less than 50% of its its January 20 2001 purchasing power.
Which makes "$70.00 per barrel oil" worth about $32.50 in December 2000 USD$ Dollars. And "$3.00 gasoline" a Buck Fifty.
Anyone with common sense knows that only Gold or Silver are real money.
You know, I feel sorry for you. I'll be happy to take all those nasty, old, FAKE federal reserve notes off your hands.
