Any North Koreans Found Not To Have Cried Hystrically At Kim Jong-Il's Passing May Spend 6 Months In A Labor Camp
Well, it is a slow news day, so we focus on the patently absurd, such as this news out of Interfax confirming that TheOnion can now close up shop as reality is far, far better. From Interfax: "North Korean citizens, who did not take part in the mourning ceremonies for the country’s late Leader Kim Jong-il, are facing up to six months in labor camps, Interfax reported January 11. According to the South Korean media sources, “People’s Courts” took place all over the country starting December 29 to condemn those who did not show enough emotion after the death of “the great leader” Kim Jong-il. The People’s Court hearings were reportedly over by January 8. The behavior of those people, who criticized the three-generation principle of ruling the country, was also a matter of discussion during the court meetings. It was reported earlier that 2012 calendars were fully taken out of stores because the date of death of the late Leader Kim Jong-il was not marked in them." That said, we doubt anyone will punish the capital markets for crying hysterically should Bernanke's printer finally kicks the ghost.

Man gets 35 to life for theft from dog-walking clients ($5,000)

mandatory - no parole for 30 years
2 minutes of hate, throw your shoes at Emmanuel or else!
How many fingers do you see, bitchez?
Throw your shoe at a Mossad spy like Emmanuel, and expect a white panel van snatch team outside your house.
This reminds me of ObaMao's Informal Inauguration in Chicago, with tears of joy, flowing down the faces, against a stage & props (like huge, styrofoam/EIFS Roman Columns) lifted right from a broadway production of Julius Caesar. Hope & Change (now hopeless without spare change) ringing loudly sharply in the cold November Chicago air:
Anyways, since this is a slow news day, and going off topic, I have proof that The Mayans were correct in their assessment and timing:
Twinkies maker Hostess seeks bankruptcy protection
It's the first step of 'no more twinkies.' If they don't fix this company and maintain production, who will deliver the indispensable, nutritionally dense, spong cake filled with Great Stuff foam that can be used for insulation & as a fire retardant, to the Amerikan Sheople?
Twinkies got Bernank'd.
When did Korea pass the NDAA?
They created it. Obama bought it from them!
My family and I were on vacation over Christmas break and the TV in the breakfest area in the hotel we stayed was tuned to CNN. (I would never turn that crap on in my own home) They were, that morning, showing video footage of Kim's funeral. My 11 year old saw the people's exagerated reaction to his death and looked at me with a puzzled face. He said "Dad, why are those people acting like that?" I expalined to him what kind of regime those people live under in N. Korea and if they didn't pretend to be so upset, they would probably be killed or arrested. I will use this ZH article, tonight, as an excellent example to teach him of they kind of propoganda he will be facing as he goes through his adult life.
Teach your children to be wisely skeptical. It's up to you as a parent. They don't teach that skill in public school.
When asked, I would've told them I threw up during the ceremonies because of nausea caused by so much grief.
I recall reading Solzhenitsyn's 2nd or 3rd hand description of a party meeting wherein the Great Stalin appeared at the head table. Supposedly, all rose and cheered; enthusiatic clapping erupted. The clapping continued, 5 minutes, 10, 15 minutes! None dared stop clapping for fear of being accused of some bogus antiparty sentiment and being thrown into the labor camps. People began collapsing from the stress. Finally, someone stopped clapping and everybody else soon followed and sat down. Afterwards, the clap stopper was charged and sentenced to 10 years hard labor.
and not ONE person in the room wanted to clap, yet the system put them to death (by other people who agreed with them) if they did not conform to something that NO PERSON desired to conform to.
And here is ZH, mocking the current generation of poor fuckers who have to live the lie under the same shit.
Shame on Tyler for the angle of attack in this post.
I notice a lot of people in the video have their hands clapped over their mouths - I presume this is to hide their giggling at the ridiculousness of 'mourning' for their chief oppressor.
Dear Momauguin Joe,
I consider ZH as place where you meet some more intelligent people capable of reasoning. So please, let me consider your story not as bullshiting, but as lack of knowledge about the period and Solzhenitsyn himself.
First of all Solzhenitsyn is a liar. He was caught lying so many times, that they’ve published some books where true historians scientifically point where he is wrong, where he is lying and where he is clearly out of his mind. Really. The guy was telling that 50 mln. where sitting in gulags. That’s like every second man, woman and child in exUSSR. Totally nuts.
Secondly, such as stories as this “clapping story” really could not take place. Really. Better not say such things in public.
Sorry for this “lesson”.
Is it any wonder there is so much hate in the world when the president won a Nobel Peace Prize for conducting wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Pakistan, all over Africa, and who knows where else.
Or when his wife was a person who never had been proud of America?
Or that Barry Soetoro's pastor of 20+ years, Jeremiah Wright, is more racist than any klansman has ever been? Don't believe it, see for yourself - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcXFxbx1Y4M

Very large ears, too.

Since you're about to be an arugula farmer and bon-bon maker for the rest of your life in a dark corner of the Obamatopia, can I have your stuff?
Damn, you beat me to it. Was gonna say; "Wow, its the opposite of hate week."
Facecrime bytchez!
But if your name is Jon Corzine it is A-OK to steal a billion dollars of commodities from segregated accounts.
"We don't know where the money is!"
No parole? That's OK, because he'll be released when the jails fill up again and they declare another jail "holiday".
Whoa - this is no Jean Valjean. This was the 6th (SIXTH) conviction he had for burglarizing people's homes, and his defense stated "Thompson said his client was not a career criminal and that he was simply attracted to “shiny things.”... yeah, the burglaries that he actually got caught for started when he was teenager, expanded over a 15 year period, picked up steam with 4 convictions in 2009, and culminated with this 6th conviction in which he was attracted to the shiny things that he later sold to a pawn shop. I cannot imagine a better place for this guy to be then in prison.

TPTB need to take a salt bath and turn up the Lorenna McKennitt. They take this whole thought control thing way to seriously. Afterall, they, through their Scull and Bones fantasy, know that it's ashes to ashes. So why they care so much just seems like a waste of a great amount of energy.

Archuleta fans were grief-stricken beyond despondence after the earth shattering news.
I don't know which is more ridiculous.
And just think...6 months in a hard labor camp is considered a pretty sweet gig in N Korea!
Three hots and a cot... or something like that
uh, no it isn't. Try rocks and punishment for eating bugs you can find.
Labor camps are places in PRK where you go and never come back from.
at least you'll have the company of your entire family
Yes, solidarity confinement.
if I laugh till I cry, do I get credit for time served?
this post is hilarious. i'm glad i belong to the 1% of non-retards...
The worst of it was those communist, leftist cows on the View praising this shitbag leader who needed a patriotic bullet in his head 40 years ago. Kinda tells you how anything is possible, even in western society, when shitbag leftists can't see the evil in front of their faces.
Histrionics, the latest political tool.
excellent picture! :P
If it feels good, do it.
Already here. Annoced yesterday that DHS is monitoring journalists comments. I thought it was a joke at first. I wish it was. Hope & Change.
No joke.
Coming soon to a country near you:
Any Americans Found Not To Have Shown Sufficient Respect and Deference Towards Jews-Africans-Hispanics-Asians-Muslims-Homosexuals-Women, etc., May Spend 6 Months In A Labor Camp.
Oh, give me a fucken break with news like that.
In America, if you don't like someone or something, you are called a racist.. I have to admit, that's less severe.. Aren't we lucky..
Western version: "anyone found not crying at the Anniversary of Auschwitz Liberation will be sentenced to 6 months community service in a black neighborhood"
That's just retarded. It's really disgusting how you have to inject every single one of your comments with something, anything, about how you hate Jews. Get a hobby or just get some fresh or something you clown.
I have a Fan! Yay!
We are all so happy your pitiful existence has been justified, tears to my eyes, so happy for you..
It is a fact that holocaust denial laws are the camel's nose under the tent in the assault on free speech: On the books in Europe, defacto here.
Non sequitur, and Europe was busy destroying its citizens' basic human rights long before Holocaust-denying mental midgets came on the scene.
Non sequitur. When was Europe busy destroying basic human rights before holocasust denial laws?
Maybe during the Holocaust??

US schools with their own police
Each day, hundreds of schoolchildren appear before courts in Texas charged with offences such as swearing, misbehaving on the school bus or getting in to a punch-up in the playground. Children have been arrested for possessing cigarettes, wearing "inappropriate" clothes and being late for school.http://m.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/jan/09/texas-police-schools?cat=world...
From first-hand experience I can say that Texas schools are now indeed an absolute police state. Not just urban schools, but out in the sticks as well. Full-time Constables with drug dogs patrolling the halls, closed campuses, and regular locker and backpack searches are all considered normal. God forbid your child drive a parent's car to school and the constable finds one of the parent's Tylenols, or a single round of ammunition in the truck from bird hunting last weekend.
I have to say that article was a shock. Never realized how bad it is. Glad I was in school back in the day, cause most kids I know would have been arrested and or jailed today
Also notice that this was only covered in UK media. Silence in US
search "War on Boys"
Yup. Obvious for a while to some of us

One of the big reasons most people simply underestimate the risks... because they can't (or refuse to) look at all the otherwise seemingly unrelated data and put it together well enough into more of a macro picture of where we are heading.
no; it's because the SYSTEM is suicidal.
Re-read the Stalin post above and my response to it.
There is NOBODY in PRK who liked Dear Leader. Yet every single one of them goes along with the system despite 100% opposition to it.
If any of you have a JOB, you can see this right in front of you. NOBODY is willing to risk ostracism for challenging consensus. There are actually psychological and mammalian studies on social groups that demonstrate that fear of exclusion is considered actually worse than death if you consider the behaviors of social animals.
A herd of humans will march in lockstep toward a goal the opposite of what ALL individuals desire. And, if one breaks ranks, others WHO AGREE will be the very ones who lead that person off to execution. And they might, in a quiet moment, confide in the condemned, "yes, I agree with you, sorry." And they will still pull the trigger.
I see this same thing here on ZH; it is a an utterly confounding artifact of human psychology. It was far more profound on tickerforum. People who would argue with me and seek to have me banned would send private messages confessing total agreement with my position. It happens in meetings where I dissent. Those who agree WILL NOT RISK voicing their agreement and will actually oppose the message of dissent but then off the record, in the hallway, yeah, I agree 100%.
This shit happens all the time. Our systems are marching us toward self-destruction.
Travski
I just read your 4 +/- paragraphs and you only used one bad word, are you sick or something?
was I insulting silverbugz?
gneiss to vote up Trav for a change...........
We prefer the term "anti-fiat bugs who happen to have a preference for the ugly red-headed step child of the precious metals".
Really, ______bugs is such a perjorative. Scratch a so-called gold or silver bug and you will just find someone who is anti-fiat, and just happens to think the precious metals offer the best inverse correlation to fiat debasement - among the multitude of others (land, copper, machinery, woodlots, firearms, ammo etc etc).
So in my mind, using the term gold/silver bug is on par with using the term "lover of debased/soon to be debased fiat".
A link for these studies on mammals trav?
Otherwise still worth a green this time...
Ah Disagree!!!
They talked about this on NPR during a special program and discussed it for about an hour, but other than that, I did not see it elsewhere
Thats sad, but its worse that kids are messing with drugs or weapons anyway (let alone taking them into school)?
I'd like to trust that the constables did not create the problem and are only there are a response to it?
Possibly (yet another!) unfortunate case of the minority spoiling things for the majority.
Sucks all ways.
most of us carried weapons every single day that would get us expelled now. Most of my peers owned high-powered rifles capable of penetrating body armor. Had them in their bedrooms.
We actually used to get out our weapons in school and use them for sharpening things or just for random fun.
Idiots like you with your "conventional wisdom" and consensus opinion are the problem.
You had random fun with toenail clippers?
/sarc ... of course ... but that's where we're at now.
Please don't call me an idiot because I don't support people carrying weapons around.
I used to be strong enough to resolve all my disagreements with my fists and considered people carrying weapons to be weaker or cowards.
I'm pretty sure that's still the case ;-)
Not saying I disagree with your sentiment but chances are I will beat you in a "disagreement" then and not with my fists...That then means I won the disagreement. You might want to rethink your blanket opposition to arming one's self, especially in the world we're heading into.
Sad
can you sign a citation with a crayon?
That's the problem... you don't need express quotas when everyone inherently knows you're supposed to write tickets and bring in the revenue. The kicker? Pissant tickets end up getting families on the municipal court treadmill... often resulting in an escalation of crimes or disintigration of the family due to the demands of the court, e.g. fines, costs, community service, jail time, lost jobs, etc. Aside from the fact that any young people wanting jobs may be required to disclose these arrests... as well as to any professional licensing boards, etc.
The whole thing is designed to (and if not has the effect of) creating a class system.
[if you have any money in the situation of a citation, you lawyer up and get the crap thrown out or reduced, the fine paid (if any), and you move on... possibly exerting political pressure (where available) on the teacher(s) and/or officer(s) who ratted on or arrested your kid to ensure they don't make the same mistake twice... if necessary, you follow everything up with an expungement and/or pardon].
See the treadmill every day.
Never saw a School Police car until I came to this country. Funny, I never before saw teachers having kids taking drugs for been too active neither.

Musing...
1. Is there still truly ROI from going to college in the future as opposed to perhaps working your way up? With UK uni fees now c.GBP£40k by the end of the 4 years its quite a nice sunk-cost debt collar to be wearing underneath those graduation robes.
2. What jobs?
It's £27K for three years.
This can only go on because parents are OK with it.
My mother is from Texas. If she is any indication then those people are really backwards and dangerously out of touch.
Do they even have stores in NK?

The "Dear Leader" just died, the "Great Leader" was his dad, Kim Il Sung.

Where is the recession?
It would be better called, "The Big Squeeze"; where the middle class was dumped into the lower class, and where the lower class fell into the gutters. The rich are not only doing just fine, they are doing great. Just fucking great.
fucking is the right adjective...and verb
"QQQ only $2 away from making new 10-year highs."
OK, quick Robo, AND NO CHEATING, what is that annualized inflation adjusted return??????? You should know too since you've probably held it since your original buy in March 2000.......
It still costs $50 to fill the tank of my economy car. Even with "world record low nat gas prices" I stillpay $6.75 per MCF with all delivery fees, 100% higher than five year ago. I just saw OJ for $9.00 per half gallon. You are a moron Robo. Sky high equities don't mean a thing if you don't have the money to buy them. WHAT A FUCKING CONCEPT!!!
Where is the recession?
LOL, that's like asking, "Where are the trolls?"
Look Robo, you are completely transparent in your sell-side-like selective bias and repeated attempts at disinformation dissemination. It's also very obvious you work for one of the establishments responsible for injecting the mass lie. Seeing your lack of creativity or spark of any intellectual presence day in and day out leads me to the assessment that your affiliation is with a MSM, TBTF, hedge fund or market related govt entity.
No one here is suckered by your horseshit, and the fact that doesn't stop you, (even through huge negative feedback), only serves to reinforce my assessment of your challenged intellect, morals, and ethics.
You are a pure bottom feeding leech of an institutional troll, and a shining example of why ZH exists…not to mention, flourishes.
How thoughtful of you to answer your own question.
Wait until Obama the One in not re elected.......or is re elected.......
I'll take the six months, thank you. (and I'll take my Leurre Calendar with me)
6 months in a labor camp? Does that mean they kick you out of the country after 6 months? Sounds like a sweet deal.
Sorry, Big Brother was watching me.
so ronery
A bill the Senate is debating, at this very moment, would impose similar penalties on Americans that haven't wept profusely and gnashed their teeth over the resignation of Fannie CEO Michael J. Williams. And about time too, the riff-raff have no idea how systemically important their betters are.
PLEASE e-mail your Congressman in support of this important legislation.
So the detention is not indefinite?
Oh no. Only until you die.
"It was reported earlier that 2012 calendars were fully taken out of stores because the date of death of the late Leader Kim Jong-il was not marked in them."
This is only partially true. The real reason is that for Il's birthday, the calendar wished him "good health" for the coming year.
if bac crosses 6.80 with gusto, we may soon see spx 1300+ fellas
Funny. I made a comment in another blog after the asshat's death that most of the blubbering was probably Oscar acting award material.
I cry for those who are forced by such an oppressive regime to cry. I cry because we are increasingly moving in that direction.

Hmm,,,And anybody found hanging around ZH will be promptly given the NDAA treatment..That is of course unless they are far gone in weeping over their transgression.
By presidential order following the passage of the NDAA anyone found not voting for Obama in the 2012 election will be subject to permanent exile to Mexico. All assets will be turned over to an American black who was unfairly taken advantage of by predatory lenders. Each American sent to Mexico will be traded for a Mexican or allowance of an illegal to assume the identity of the exile. With no oppositon Obama will be declared emporer of America and forever on only a puppet of the global elite will be allowed to rule.
