That's their response to the "crisis?"
"North Korea mocks Obama, faults US for Internet attack" by Martin Fackler, New York Times December 28, 2014
SEOUL — North Korea lashed out at the United States on Saturday, blaming it for ongoing disruptions that cut off the nation’s already limited connections to the Internet, while once again rejecting US accusations that it was behind the hacking of Sony Pictures.
The statement, carried by the North’s state-run Korean Central News Agency, also called President Obama “reckless in words and deeds like a monkey in a tropical forest” for urging the film studio to release “The Interview.”
********
The statement by the National Defense Commission, which is led by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and is the country’s most powerful governing body, is the North’s first response to the intermittent disruptions that have crippled its tenuous connection to cyberspace since Monday.
The connectivity problems, which at one point appeared to sever North Korea completely from the Internet, started days after Obama vowed to retaliate for the damaging attack on the Sony film studio.
Speaking earlier this month, Obama said he held the North responsible for the hacking of Sony....
They are not, but don't let that get in the way of the war agenda or psyop propaganda.
The United States has declined to say whether it played a role in the disruptions, which struck many of North Korea’s few websites. Information about US cyberwarfare programs is classified.
Meaning we won't be told even if they did.
Internet experts have said the failures could have been caused by anything from technical malfunctions to a hacking attack, adding that the attack could easily have been carried out by a nongovernment group....
Uh-huh.
While North Korea did not say if it would retaliate for the disruptions, it did accuse the United States of acting like a schoolyard bully....
They do!
This is not the first time the North, which is fond of bombastic language, has used racist or otherwise crude insults against the leaders of the United States and its allies.
No big deal when it is Zionist Jew supremacists using it.
Earlier this year, it called President Park Geun-hye of South Korea a prostitute. The same statement called Secretary of State John Kerry a wolf with a ‘‘hideous’’ lantern jaw.
A State Department spokeswoman called that North Korean dispatch ‘‘offensive and ridiculous and absurd.’’
The Saturday statement also repeated earlier denials that North Korea was behind the attack on Sony Pictures and demanded that the United States back up its accusation with proof....
Why? They never do! You are just supposed to believe!
The vaguely threatening tone echoed threats of violence against movie theaters....
Well, I went to my one movie, and it was likely my last.

NEXT DAY UPDATES:
"The Korean Peninsula was divided into a US-backed, capitalistic South Korea and a Soviet-supported, socialist North Korea after its liberation from the Japanese colonial occupation from 1910 to 1945."
And the way things are going that divide will heat up soon enough.

Wanna go to the movies?
‘Hobbit’ holds top spot
Audiences had their pick of genres over the Christmas weekend, but despite a host of fresh arrivals, splashy holiday fare like ‘‘Unbroken’’ and ‘‘Into the Woods’’ proved no match for ‘‘The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.’’ The final installment in Peter Jackson’s trilogy held the top spot once again with an estimated $41.4 million take across the weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday (AP)."
I'm part of that, and that's down from $90.6 million it's opening week, less than half the take. Next week it will be down to under $20 million, and it confirms a lot of what I have said regarding movies lately. It's a big opening weekend followed by drop, drop, drop, done. No one goes to see a movie twice anymore. No money.
I'm told the WW II epic ‘‘Unbroken,’’ took second place. Amazing how Hollywood always comes out with a timely villain just as war is ramping up. Yeah, I know it's a Japanese pow camp in the film; however, it's an Asian oppressor. That means bad China in the echo chamber called the AmeriKan body politic right now.
Disney’s musical ‘‘Into the Woods,’’ came in a close third, and the rest of the top five was populated by holdovers ‘‘Night at the Museum’’ and ‘‘Annie.’’ That's what the kids were there to see the day I went.
I'm glad the name-calling stopped.
