Mr. Mumbo-jumbo -- Let Them Eat Food Stamps
Posted on 09/13/2011 10:11:26 PM PDT by LibWhacker
As much as half of North Korea's army is starving as food shortages that were previously affecting only the civilian population worsen and begin to affect institutions tasked with protecting Kim Jong-Il's regime.
Disaffected North Koreans working secretly as journalists within the country for the Japan-based Asiapress International news agency have smuggled out video footage of interviews with soldiers in different parts of the isolated country, with many complaining of malnutrition.

North Korea is the utopia Obama wants for America.
Sucks to be them. I will be happier when that percentage hits a full 100%.
Starving to death is “euphoric” according to libs when Shiavo died.
Sucks to be them. I will be happier when that percentage hits a full 100%.
Yea, me to perhaps South Corea can build a large bakery near the border and exaust the ovens to the north?
that should stir up something
I suspect much of the vaunted North Korean army is similarly in question. Must keep the Dear Leader up at nights wondering how long the army can keep him in cognac, porn and women.
North Korea is a truly benighted country whose physical and geopolitical isolation have rendered its population largely helpless and ignorant.
Key here is that if enough become disaffected with access to arms it will result in a coup with one of two results: long civil war as factions fight to gain control likely with china stepping in, but no major policy/govt changes, as dictator OR someone arises with some common sense to unit the faction as a military junta and approaches the south for reconciliation.
Dang my comma was off should read :
“...gain control, likely...” not “...stepping in , but...”
Here he comes to save the day! A community organizer on the way!
I thought it was Zimbabwe.
And for the North Korean Army, Dear Leader is edible.
Rabin will prey the living god, gather the good and the Christians.
Friends in the gulag confirm the practicality point has been passed.
Just a week or so ago, I saw a documentary on North Korea.
I do not recall what channel. It was probably either Natl.Geo
or History. Anyway, it was on my satellite system.
It really made North Korea look like a quite civil place...
Very neat and orderly, both rural and metro.
The people “looked” happy and patriotic.
Obviously the documentary was quite censored, with each and every frame.
China wants North Korea to be North Korea..
They like it that way.. else they would change it..
The chinks use the Norks like a rented donkey..
Like Mao killed the millions he murdered.. and made billions more miserable..
the Communists in China could care less about the Norks..
YET.. Target, Walmart and others could also care less..
The Chinese commies are still as blood thirsty as they always were..
A thought to ponder on the next story about China..
Wonder if they OWN the present administration...
They’ re too weak to do much else.
Seems the boys with the guns would have the sense to take the food from the fat, dumb, happy politicians.
Well at least they’ve solved the obesity problem and have free healthcare
Way back in 1974 I went to Panmunjom as I was in the Army stationed at Yong Son, Seoul.
I took along lunch in my Snoopy lunchbox and sat and ate it all the while staring at North Korean guards.
They don’t smile much there I tell ya. No sense of humor.
But even back then they looked malnourished.
That's just plain old mean.
(That's why I like it.)
