FReeper Gets Internal N. Korea Documents via FNN; Concern Now Is Over Public-Order Collapse (Hot!)

[Sensitive Documents From North Korea the Japanese Recently Obtained]

As a service to Free Republic (and the cause of Truth, Freedom, and National Security) it is my pleasure to synopsize-translate-comment, link to the original report, and pass on to you a quite interesting report today from Tokyo, Japan. This comes through the services of Fuji Television (FNN News). It has to do with internal Communist Korean Worker's Party government documents smuggled out of North Korea which seem to show an increasing level of internal concern and nervous tension over a break up of public order (i.e. 'loss of control') and decline in socialist thought-control over average North Koreans.

This may explain exactly why Kim Jong-il appears to be acting uncharacteristically bold these days, and that brinksman North Korea seems intent to "go for broke" as perhaps there seems to be few options left for the cruel despots clinging to state-terror power.

Please read on, below (from the original Japanese-languge web report).

You're right. These North Koreans could pull a Clinton wag-the-dog just to avert their peoples gaze....unfortunately, they have Nukes and have been talking very boldly lately about the US.

Quite correctly. And so have the Christians, underground. It remains to be seen who will come out as the most influential in post-Kim North Korea in terms of giving chances, quality of life and hope to the poor people.

Without going into detail, these are the same symptoms that preceded the fall of the Soviet Union.

If you look up "Ash Heap," in the dictionary, you will find "communism" as the definiton.

Remember, just before the USSR collapsed, it was a crime for a Russian to own an copy machine.......

...and (without black market US dollars) it was impossible to find toilet paper that did not give your butt a rash, or lipstick that made you look nice, or pantyhose that did not make you look like a hairy whale, or jeans that fit, or coffee of any quality, or food of any enjoyment, or education od choice... And, none of these are techno-revolutionary items! The list is too long to list.

I also read a few days ago that Saddam joined the Baghdad SOCIALIST party in 1959.

Baath Socialist Party.

Yes, the boats are neat and a further illustration of the depth of North Korean poverty. Individual groups have far more light than all of North Korea.

The Baath Party, which rules Iraq, is actually the Baath Socialist Party... but for some reason, the media rarely mentions that...

We only hear about the Iraqi Republican Guard....

North Korea stays in the dark

---
Another neat pix which illustrates this -- easy to tell the difference between civilized and uncivilized areas of the world -- N. Korea is definitely pitch dark.
