Thank you DR, and all..... I am sure people will want to hit the link above. Please don't be discouraged in working your way through the Japanese. Unless there is a way to archive the Japanese version from the web ASAP, it may be difficult to access this story again.

1) Go to the link above.

2) A Japanese-language page for FNN will come up with a LOT of graphics.

3) Go to the Hot Link that looks like a PURPLE LABEL ON FILE DOCUMENTS, on the top of the page (that then links to "News").

4) Then, (still with me!?) scroll down to the final story on the page that was posted on 2/5/03 at 23:39 p.m. local in Tokyo, under "Breaking News". You'll find the story there.

Incidentally, the article is, in Japanese: "Sankei Shimbun, "Shihon Shugi no Byoma ni Okasare Shakai Chitsujo ga Hakai Sunzen" to no Kita Chosen Naibu Shiryo wo Nyutei"

Good luck.

Please, everyone give comments, compare to Russia/East Europe situation, etc., and what might be done to further decay the socialist order

it might be a nice time for Pres. Bush to make a speech to the NK people stating that the US is not against them, just their leadership, and that if their leadership were different (e.g. regime change) we would be more than willing to provide food and medical aid.

fwiw, here is a translation of the article by Systran:

The product sutra newspaper, "it is damaged in the illness-causing
demon of capitalism and social order the document inside North Korea
before the collapse sun/size" procuring

"The North Korean social order the product sutra newspaper
procured the internal document before the collapse sun/size". This
time, the internal document of the Korean work party which the product
sutra newspaper procures in the cover "concerning expanding the fight
in order inside to shatter idea cultural permeation of study important
points capitalism strongly" with is with the Hangul. In the cover "it
limits to intraparty", that the internal document of the Korean work
party which is recorded. The actual condition where domestic social
order has started to deteriorate with the culture west side and the
influx of the manners, was consecutively recorded there. According to
the document, "when the foreign business trip person and the traveler
of the area which is are censored, the American movie it is seeing,
and others the tape, the unique recording tape and the photograph
collection which videotaped the image, the object people who have
those as in the pictorial, the novel and Bible were not few. The
behavior which certain people sell and/or lend, copying that with 1
you look at the unique recording tape not to be restricted, in order
to obtain the foreign currency and the thing, is done common practice.
Which extent many person, being damaged in the illness-causing demon
of capitalism?"with it has become. Getting angry and sighing of the
work party all the the internal document of pages 16 which can be
received last year, the study important points which are distributed
to party staff. When party staff, lecturing with meeting of the North
Korean all earth, in the news item book which is used, it enumerates
the disorder of social order is critical concretely. In addition, as
for the internal document, "as for the go-getter of portion of central
telephone exchange just just this year also 5 times, did this kind of
behavior with the group the February last year, including the fact
that you looked at the impure Japanese movie of 2 compilations in New
Year's Day of the old calendar. The person of part with the radio and
the television, having gathered and circulating bourgeoise idea
culture. The person who has demilitarized zone inquires about the
audio broadcast of south Korea and peripheral country, views also the
television. And to which it learns those like south kind of Korean
comes out song from terrible thing, brags and has sung "that it has
done. Furthermore as for the internal document, "as for the young
people of part, the hair the ? the ? we think that you go out,
that the appearance it is good, the woman is present and putting on
make-up mysterious the extent which does not become extreme, being, is
walking the skirt where the hobby which is stuck exactly in the skirt
and the body where is short to the top of the knee is bad" that,
culture of the young person, it has made the crisis atmosphere to also
the disorder of the manners spread. In addition, "between the people,
the phenomenon which divorces increases. The people of part in life
have searched the necromancer who looks at destiny ", also it has
done. Individual the work party, the detailed Takushoku University as
for meter Professor village Satoshi "the ?? market after 1995
expanded the present condition which in the internal document is made
splendidly clear, heavily in the North Korean situation, pornographic
image and the like became easy to enter to the hand even with the
general person. The idea control with the party has stopped being
effective. There is no distribution system, you do not make by your
and the ? does not become, social insecurity it is not the food. You
think that the insecurity which which in the future, as for socialism
that you say, covers North Korea whether how it becomes is spreading.
Going to the place of the necromancer, when it makes forecast, you
cannot feel at rest easily, "that you analyze. The Korean work party
which can deepen the crisis atmosphere in decrease of centripetal
power, in the internal document, "must destroy the capitalism element,
among the buds. Must expand fight becomes extinct and until the ?
? is attached, without between, ", that, thorough fight is called
vis-a-vis the influx of west side culture. Concerning this, is heavy
village professor "idea of the Kim Jong-Il General Secretary, idea
education strengthening margin. But, strengthening the idea education
does not go after all well. The idea which the guidance section of the
thing and North Korea which the human requests from general life seeks
for system maintenance has stopped being agreeable ", that you
analyze. Furthermore heavily as for village professor, "such document
became easy to be issued outside concerning the outflow of the
document inside this. You call the business which issues the internal
document outside, or it probably means that the syndicate is doing.
Such movement emerges, you try probably to be possible to see "that
overture of collapse started, that it points out.
