I Don't Give a $hit About Samsung

Sorry:

"Analysts have repeatedly cut forecasts of Samsung’s profit this year as Galaxy sales lagged expectations. They say earnings in the quarter ending in September could suffer their biggest decline in Samsung’s recent history.

With growth momentum in smartphones sagging, Samsung is moving to step up its presence in semiconductors. This week, Samsung announced a $14.7 billion investment plan to build a semiconductor fabrication plant in the South Korean city of Pyeongtaek. Construction will begin before the summer and begin operations during the second half of 2017....

Another I don't give a sh** that is such a focus of the AmeriKan ma$$ media:

"North Korean leader makes public appearance" by Foster Klug | Associated Press   October 14, 2014

SEOUL — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un made his first public appearance in five weeks on Tuesday, the country’s official news agency reported, ending a prolonged absence that fueled speculation about his health and control over the country.

********

Kim had last been seen in the state media five week ago at a Sept. 3 concert, and he missed several high-profile events that he normally attends. An official documentary released late last month then made a single reference to Kim’s ‘‘discomfort’’ and showed video footage from August of him overweight and limping.

The KCNA report Tuesday made no mention of Kim’s health....

At the tour of the residential district, Kim, shown in a photo in the North’s leading newspaper smiling and walking with a cane, praised the scientists as ‘‘patriots who are devoting all their lives to building a rich and powerful nation, convinced that though there is no frontier in science, they have a socialist motherland and are under the care of the mother party.’’

I told you what the problem was.

In a separate development Monday, the official KCNA said the remains of thousands of US soldiers killed in North Korea during the Korean War are in danger of getting lost after being moved from their burial sites because of various construction work.

The war media really is looking for any excuse, any excuse at all to start wars everywhere it seems. Now they are dragging 60-year-old dead men out of the grave to get you all worked up. I'm not saying it's unimportant; I'm just seeing the agenda through the context of the pri$m I call a paper. Sorry.

The troops’ remains were neglected and “carried away en masse due to construction projects of hydropower stations, land rezoning, and other gigantic nature-remaking projects, flood damage, etc.,” a spokesman of the North Korean military said in a statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency.

The 1950-53 Korean War, during which the United States fought for South Korea, ended not in a peace treaty but in a truce, leaving the peninsula technically at war.

I'm corrected. Trying to restart it then, 'kay?

Still, the United States and North Korea conducted 33 joint search-and-recovery operations that recovered remains believed to belong to 229 US soldiers missing in action.

What is this about the North being most helpful in finding our guys? 

U.S. has had a hell of a way of thanking them all these years.

He looks like he is in pretty good shape to me.
