It was reported on the radio here, in an interview with a US scientist who had just visited North Korea and been shown its new uranium enrichment facilities,that North Korea had warned South Korea not to shell its waters, but the fascist stooges of the Empire went ahead. That fact was, of course, immediately and thoroughly suppressed, as the trained hysterics of the ‘Free Press’ went through paroxysms of outrage. Like the sinking of the South Korean frigate, that hit a reef and sank, as widely reported in South Korea, but then was lied about in the fashion of Iraqi WMD, KAL 007, ‘yellow rain’ in Indochina, the Gulf of Tonkin Incident etc etc, the provocateurs and warmongers here are, as ever, the Real Evil Empire and its fascist stooges. The current South Korean regime is directly descended from the military fascists who rule Korea until the 1980s, when Washington decided that a sham ‘democracy without choices’ would be a better look, from the propaganda point of view. This is just another stage of Obama’s plot to encircle and weaken China, and it is hair-raisingly dangerous, but he follows orders like a good little goy, doesn’t he.

I, for one, appreciate your ironies, Kim. Good questions… and good writing!

Good piece Kim, but you might be overreacting a little.

I for one don’t know much about the Shanghai Daily’s editorial policies and influences, but there are at least two ways of interpreting the words you cite.

1. If the paper is significantly influenced by US powers then it might be interpreted as a patronising remark in keeping with a primary school teacher, say, patting her class of six-year-olds on the head for memorising the national anthem i.e. clearly identifying a pattern of behaviour that others should emulate.

2. If (as more likely) the paper is significantly influenced by the Chinese government, although still patronising, it might be meant as a signal of approval to Pyongyang for showing admirable restraint in the face of what is obviously outrageous provocation.

North Korea is a desperately tragic country whose situation is a direct result of sixty years of vicious US foreign policy – a foreign policy that would probably have crushed anyone but an Asian nation. No doubt it is a very repressive country, but I’d love to know how a Washington government would behave if the US was unable to trade with anyone for 60 years.

Good old Michael Kenny. He can always be relied upon to say something of such sublime stupidity that you have to wonder if his day-job is that of comedian. I mean, “The [Europeans] took the [American continent] because they were a superior race.” So gunpowder had nothing to do with it then?

Beware of the kettle calling the pot black! Isn’t the “dispossession and liquidation of an indigenous people by European emigrants” a definition of the US, Canada and the other post-colonial entities? And at least the Ashkenazi Jews feel the need to base their claim on their own origins, however lacking in validity such a claim may be in international law. The Europeans who colonised the American continent, for example, felt no such need. They took the land because they were a superior race.

once u have 700+bases, thousands marine floats circling the planet, nukes that can arrive on korean soil in seconds or minutes [or are already buried there and ready for use], why bother also with duplomacy?
yes, i said duplo, from which twoply derives. so we cld also call it doublemacy.
by the way what is korean or chinese word for twofacedeness.
this last derives from the french dufacade.
slavs call it dvo-lichnost.
pal’ns have a word for it also: cento-facada! ok, they borrowed that from romans in 100 before ‘jewish’ arrival there. tnx, sheshe, grazie, gracias, danke, spasibo!
