OK, this is confusing: but this is the LINK to the original Japanese language article from the conservative/trustworthy South Korean "Chonsun Ilbo" daily newspaper website in Korean which reported from a Russian news agency just a little while ago.

The headline is 北朝鮮デノミ：「住民騒乱を懸念、軍が戦闘準備」 ("North Korean Currency Devaluation: Worries Over Uprising By North Korean People; North Korean Army Goes on Sub-War Status")

Correction: Any hint of resistance would not be tolerated.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Ask our 35,000 American troops heralding from such places as Wapokoneta Ohio, Tom’s River NJ, Van Horn, TX, Fond du Lac, WI, Bakersfield CA, Roanoke VA...etc. etc...all within North Korea artillery and Scud range.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Yes. 戦闘準備 in Japanese.

Also, on the DPRK increasing suicides thing, I am picking that up, too. Also the heart attacks among the elderly over the shock of their money evaporating like that. What will soldiers think, who they themselves come from these very same families!! I guess their internal "buddy system" (spy on everyone in your unit) is really well-entrenched. It really takes prayers at this point.

Pyongyang Radio domestic service listened to last night was getting really rabid. Will try to listen again tonight.

Is that shortwave by any chance, and is it in english?

And with a big tip o' the hat and *thanx* to "11 Points" at:

Let us not forget THIS outstanding demonstration of KJL's infinite superiority (Tiger Woods? Got a place for you to disappear to for a few weeks and get some lessons to improve your game too!):

# Kim shoots a 38 under par, complete with 11 holes-in-one, his first time golfing. You may not know this, but, according to the state-run North Korean media, Kim Jong-Il is the best golfer in history.

Back in 1994, North Korea's first golf course was opened in Pyongyang, and Kim decided to play it. He'd never golfed before, but wow, was he a natural.

In his first-ever round of golf, he shot a world-record 38 under par... including another world record 11 holes-in-one! And even though all 17 of his bodyguards were eyewitnesses and swear they saw that go down, for some reason, the round-eye devils at "Guinness" fail to recognize either record.

After that round, the media tells us, Kim decided to retire from golf forever, lest he ruin it for us mortals.


Are we not in awe of such amazing talent, AiT?

I’m just hoping we don’t find out what it is like to live under that kind of suppression.

This is what will happen to the American idiocracy if the Federal government devalues our dollar by canceling the old Federal Reserve Notes and replacing them with "new" dollars based on the American Eagle gold coin and its "$50" stamp on the front. Bring in 100,000,000 "old" Federal Reserve notes and exchange them for 50 "new" ones...

Practice tearing government officials apart with your bare hands...

[AmericanInTokyo]

We are not worthy! We are not worthy! (Bowing down, Obama style). /joke

[April Lexington]

what are those libs going to say?

'Its all BUSH's fault.....

[SevenofNine]

Are you sure you explain Obama birth OR CHIA PET

[mkjessup]

Calling it a night here AiT, will be looking for you and Tiger’s updates and analysis in about 6 hours or so!

Stay safe you guys! (and thanks again!)

“And what is most shameful is our prior President, beating his chest about that horrible ‘Axis of Evil’, consisting of Iraq, Iran and North Korea, chose to do NOTHING about the murderous regime in Pyongyang when he had the opportunities”

And what was he supposed to do?

By banning luxury items from being imported into NK he attacked Kim’s power base. The elite that enjoy the fruits of the west on the backs of the serfs.

[driftdiver]

They’ve been weeding out anyone with the courage to even think poorly of their glorious leader.

Decades of brainwashing will be difficult to overcome.

[popdonnelly]

“Great time for Obama to send Stephen Bosworth and Son Kim from the State Department to Pyongyang”

Our own government is becoming increasingly useless.

[driftdiver]

Most are within 20 mins or less Scud time. Spent 3 years total within that umbrella.

At one point was told to expect 75% causalities from the chemical and bio weapons.

[razorback-bert]

Do you know what the official reason given for the money revaluation?

I must have missed it.

[autumnraine]

Well, I for one appreciate you very much AIT.

[autumnraine]

We might not give a damn about North Korea, but their war talk in the middle of an economic collapse (think rat trapped in a corner) makes me worried for those in Japan and South Korea.

>>”It’s the 68th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, I have adjusted my tagline accordingly.”<<

I just finished a book titled “Day of Deceit” by Robert B. Stinnett. If anyone has any doubts that FDR was surprised by the attack they will feel differently after reading this book.

Your new tagline is perfect.

Where? Chicago?

[b4its2late]

Hope the people take it to the streets and beat the little tin horn dictator to a pulp.
