Rodman Brings Bread and Circuses to Pyongyang

8:16 AM, Jan 7, 2014 •

By DENNIS P. HALPIN

....

The bread being brought by Rodman to accompany the circus is allegedly in the form of luxury birthday gifts for the North Korean dictator and his wife. Rodman seems oblivous to North Korea’s near starvation of its people, human rights atrocities, gulags, and nuclear and missile adventurism, and appears equally unconcerned that providing Pyongyang with any luxury goods is a violation of the sanctions imposed by United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolution 2094, adopted on March 7, 2013, and previous resolutions

My theory is he is getting drugs which is why you almost always see him wearing sunglasses because he’s stoned out of his mind. The same kind of crap went on with all the celebrities visiting Castro and Chavez, they go down there and compliment the dictator and the dictator gets them cocaine.

Saw the video of Dennis Rodman Clinton and his delegation arriving at Sunan Airport in communist North Korea the other day for their on-the-cuff "basketball diplomacy".

Some fat bastard with a sh*t-eating "Gee whiz, we're actually in North Korea!"-type ear-to-ear grin right behind him (white) stepping onto the tarmac from the North Korean Airlines jet, had three or four blue ribbon packed packages awkwardly tucked under his left arm. They were certainly some kind of pre-prepared Western gifts for DPRK officials.

Now if this man is an American citizen, he needs to be subpoened before a US House Committee upon returning to the USA, under oath to state what gifts, if any were given to Kim Jong il or any other official DPRK official, and if they were luxury. If he did not have official US Treasur Department "Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) Office "OFA" export or travel/business license to deal with the DPRK, which I doubt they did--and if he did, then conversely THAT would be in and of itself ANOTHER Obama scandal--(and probably in view of the UN sanctions on luxuries prohibited to North Korea) he could be in deep sh*t. I am serious on this one. THE ADMINISTRATION WILL DO NOTHING, they are just paying lip service on these visits, saying they are "unauthorized". However, they also have the ability to stop it by revoking the validity of Rodman and other's US passports, which is US government possession, not Rodman and Team.

Please, any US Congressional staffer with pull lurking these threads, make your boss into a hero and have him or her run the ball on this nonsense and ready that House or Senate subpoena. It could be a real win for the Republicans, because the Democrats will move to oppose it or ignore it. Will try to find and post a link to that video, it is pretty incriminating. PS this would become a Justice Department issue, and does anyone really think Eric Holder is to go after Dennis Rodman???? /sarc (you do know the reason why not).

I’ve been working on my Pyongyandg #SH!TSISTERRAYSAYS

[miele man]

Dr. Drew of “Celebrity Rehab” fame was showing MRI pictures of Rodman’s brain last night and today. According to the neurologist who evaluated the scans, Rodman has some severe brain atrophy apparently caused by alcohol and drugs. Other brain issues were mentioned. I post this not as a defense of Rodman and after watching’s interview with Cuomo where he could not seem to form coherent sentences, I have to wonder just how well Rodman is able to think, let alone logically.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Here, examine Rodman's delegation arriving in North Korea at the Pyongyang Airport.　Near the end of clip with all the glad-handing, you will find a short,fat smiling American man in a darksuit with a blue necktie, and tucked under his arm seems to be two or three gifts in deep blue gift wrapping for the North Koreans. This could be the smoking gun. A congressional foreign affairs or intelligence committee subpoena might find a) whom he gave the gifts to; and b) what the gifts precisely were. If they were luxury items, such as high brand liquors, to be passed on to Kim Jong Un, this is a violation of US standing law without an authorized State Dept. license (federal crime) as well as contravening standing UN sanctions on North Korea, against providing them any luxury goods:

I hope Fox News or some other media outlet picks this up and puts legs on this thing. One thing is for sure, Obama Administration is turning a blind eye to this. Why? Because such a trip and kowtowing insults our good allies, South Korea and Japan, causes American loss of face, that's why, and also the recipients of all the slobbering attention are doctrinaire Stalinists.

[SevenofNine]

I was thinking of that LOL!

[AmericanInTokyo]

Excerpt from of all places, a socialist website:

"In the midst of his incoherent rambling, Rodman hinted at the underlying purpose of his trips. Clearly under a great deal of pressure from Cuomo, he praised the willingness of his teammates to face media abuse, declaring: "One day, one day this door is going to open because of these ten guys." A more urbane Smith chimed in: "You have to understand we are not alone. We are here with about 50 people—there are other Americans."

Incongruous as it might seem, Rodman, as one of only a handful of Americans with personal access to the North Korean leader, appears to be functioning as something of an unacknowledged go-between, in order to open channels of communication between Washington and Pyongyang. In an apology issued yesterday for his CNN outburst, Rodman explained he had been drinking and was upset because “my dream of basketball diplomacy was quickly falling apart.” For his part, Smith did not spell out who the “other Americans” were, or what they were doing." (End)

Now, who else here smells a RAT?? (emanating from D.C. perhaps?) I think there was a slip of the tongue here. Something fascinating could become unraveled as a result.....
