Wouldn't want to be humanizing the North Koreans while making the war case seem silly, so.... SLOW SATURDAY!
The LEAST READ DAY of a NEVER-ENDING DECLINE of READERSHIP!
"North Korea lifts restrictions on private markets; Admits inability to solve shortage of food, some say" by Chico Harlan, Washington Post | June 19, 2010
Ah, the the CIA 's newspaper.
SEOUL — Bowing to reality, the North Korean government has lifted all restrictions on private markets — a last-resort option for a regime desperate to prevent its people from starving.
Considering what is in their pages everyday that is a colossal insult right off the bat.
And they are GOING to the MARKET ECONOMY?
So WHY the WAR TALK?!!!
Admittedly, at a HORRID PRICE, but the POLICY of "SOFT" REGIME CHANGE is WORKING so WTF is with the FALSE FLAG and WAR TALK, war-promoting AmeriKan MSM?

Yeah, it is EASY to BEAT DOWN a STARVING PERSON, isn't it?
You know, the KIND of THING a BULLY would do!!!!!
And the WaPo has the NERVE to say that the regime is CONCERNED about its people starving after ALL the HORRIBLE THINGS I have read in my paper about North Korea!!
The Koreans have gnawing hunger and I have gnawing anger!
World, OUR NEWSPAPERS SUCK!!
They are INSULTING, SUPREMACIST, and ELITIST LIES posing as "news."
In recent weeks, according to North Korea observers and defector groups with sources in the country, Kim Jong Il’s government admitted its inability to solve the current food shortage and encouraged its people to rely on private markets for the purchase of goods.
Translation: They are CIA sources, folks. And not the stupidos that get caught.

He was sure left to languish; dropped right off the MSM radar screen.
Readers, if you MAKE the CIA PAPER you ARE CIA!
Though the policy reversal will not alter daily patterns — North Koreans have depended on such markets for more than 15 years — the latest order from Pyongyang abandons all pretense of a central, planned economy.
WHAT?!?!?!
With November’s currency revaluation, Kim wiped out his citizens’ personal savings and struck a blow against the food distribution system sustaining his country.
Oh, then HE IS in REAL TROUBLE!!!
That's the kind of stuff that sends people into the streets.
He's going to NEED that ARMY for DOMESTIC CONTROL!
This as he prepares one of his sons as a successor.
So CUI BONO from a WAR NOW?
The North’s latest policy reversal, though, stands as an admission that the currency change was a failure and that only capitalist-style trading can prevent widespread famine....
Yeah, right THAT is WHY "1 of every 6 people on the planet - don’t get enough to eat ."

"Every table was set with a single fresh rose (from the rose gardens outside, I was told) and a full complement of three forks, two knives, and two spoons in silver plate..... The buffet tables could have graced a high-end ocean liner. I watched a gentleman in colorful African garb pile his plate with slices of roast sirloin and potatoes mashed with feta cheese. A post-retirement-age couple from the East Side scarfed up most of the egg rolls, though more came out quickly....
I made for the roast leg of lamb with rosemary sauce after I filled my salad plate with chilled asparagus and slices of a duck and pork terrine.... fresh tomato soup and bowls of pasta primavera.... The dessert buffet table practically groaned under a spread of apple and pumpkin pies, cheesecakes, tarts, half a dozen cheeses, sliced fruits, bowls of berries, and, off to one side, three urns of ice cream"
But don't worry; they are HELPING to SOLVE the PROBLEM!
I'm SURE the U.N. SANCTIONS are helping the Koreans out a whole pile.
So when does that s*** stain Israel face a sanction, U.N.?
Because North Korea operates in secrecy and isolation, outside observers rely on informants and accounts from defectors.
You know, the CIA people bringing you this fine story.
The same ones that brought you wars based on lies in countless places for decades, America!
The same ones that help kill presidents and carry out false flag terror attacks.
In this case, analysts agree that the food shortage is dire. Several analysts who monitor and travel to North Korea agree that in recent weeks, Pyongyang has abandoned almost all rules about who can spend money and when....
Looks like FREEDOM, doesn't it, America?
As of May 26, the government no longer forces markets to close at 6 or 7 p.m., has dropped the rule restricting customers to women older than 40, and has lifted a ban on certain goods being sold. One city official in the city of Pyungsung informed the Good Friends humanitarian group that the living standard had “drastically decreased since the currency exchange, and the government cannot provide distribution so they have to bring the market back up.’’
The Good Friends newsletter quoted the official as saying: “There are increasing deaths from starvation so opening [the] market is a reasonable resolution. Death due to starvation has gone out of control.’’
Yes, THAT is the PRICE the NORTH KOREANS MUST PAY so the WORLD can BE HAPPY!!!!
In the mid-1990s, amid a total collapse of the central planned economy, somewhere between 3 and 5 percent of the population — perhaps 1 million people — died of starvation.
That is a HOLOCAUST!!!!
Meanwhile, North Koreans increasingly turned to small markets for trading and buying supplies.
Then WHY all the BS all this time, MSM!?!
North Korea is now best described as a dictatorship with a de facto market economy, and because of that, the hermit nation maintains a stronger line of defense against starvation.
So WHAT is the PROBLEM THEN, U.S.?
I mean, WE LOVE MARKET DICTATORS all over the world and have HELPED INSTALL MANY via election fraud or military coup (just go down to Latin America and pick a country).
Why the PROBLEM with a "hermit (as the North Korean reaches out? Sounds more like Israel to me)?"
--more--"
Must have been its turn in the yearly rotation.
Normally I would be out getting my coffee and Globe this morning.
Haven't gone yet. I don't like reading the Globe anymore.
Who would want to continue reading worsening insults and terrible lies?
It is ALMOST AS IF as their INDUSTRY is in its DEATH THROES the AmeriKan MSM has BECOME BITTER about it!!!!
Rather than CHANGE DIRECTION and START TELLING the TRUTH they have resorted to EVEN MORE OUTRAGEOUS LIES and REPREHENSIBLE CENSORSHIP (especially when it comes to Zionist Israel).
And THEY WONDER why NO ONE WANTS to READ THEM anymore?
