US Sanctions North Korea for Human Rights Violations
Daily Signal ^ | 7/6/2016 | Bruce Klingner

On July 6, the Obama administration imposed sanctions on North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and other senior North Korean individuals and organizations for human rights violations.

This is the first time that the U.S. has designated North Korean entities for human rights abuses. The administration should be commended for finally acting upon the February 2014 U.N. Commission of Inquiry report which concluded that North Korea’s human rights violations were so widespread and systemic as to constitute “crimes against humanity.”

That said, the Obama administration’s action, like its designation last month of North Korea as a primary money-laundering concern, was likely triggered by requirements in the North Korea Sanctions and Policy Enforcement Act (NKSPEA) approved by Congress in February.

WHAT!?!?!?!

I figured Obama would normalize relations with Kim and declare the war is over and they won. Kim is about the only tyrant in the world Obama hasn’t fellated yet.

Good. For those who aren't familiar with NK's human rights abuses, I recommend Escape from Camp 14. https://www.amazon.com/Escape-Camp-14-Remarkable-Odyssey/dp/0143122916/

“Titanic...deck chairs...”

Almost off-topic, Charles Joughin actually “rearranged” deck chairs on the Titanic.

Admittedly, alcohol was a factor (in his survival, at least).

Theater, so the Queen can later hand over America’s keys in exchange for LIFTING the sanctions.

Like Iran.

America elected a king in 1932, a god in 2008, and all the media, democrats, and far too many Republicans want to elect a queen in 2016.

God save America.

I hope they don’t write them a stern letter or unfriend them on Facebook! We don’t want to start an international incident here or make them angry with us.

I’m sure Lil Kim is quaking in his Kimchee. He looks at the FBI and Clinton investigation and say, “These Americans, they are so funny. She crooked as a road after an earthquake but they say no. These Americans, they are so crazy.”

Expect more rocket tests and maybe a nuke test just for fun.
Kim, He The Man!

I am glad to hear this. I’ve read several books on North Korea, and the concentration camps they put their people in are an atrocity. They have a three generation rule, punishing children and grandchildren for “crimes” of their parents. By “crimes” I mean not kissing the Dear Leader’s behind. Even the people lucky enough not to be in a camp live a life where they can’t dare object to their government, don’t have enough food, can’t open a business, etc.

“I am glad to hear this.”

You’re willing to trust that the Fraud did this in some fashion FOR America?

When did this president ever do anything in America’s best interest?

So we’re suddenly putting sanctions on North Korea after just “normalizing” relations with Cuba.

Wonder if there’s a connection there....
