Breaking up is hard to do . . .
« on: August 29, 2013, 09:15:08 AM »
. . . unless you're a North Korean dictator.

He had his ex-girlfriend and a number of performers from the Unhasu Orchestra, Wangjaesan Light Band and Moranbong Band executed by machine gun firing squad while family members watched, before they themselves were sent off to prison thanks to NK's "guilt by association" policy.

Not as imaginative as the execution of the former vice minister of the army, forced to stand on a spot that had been zeroed in for a mortar round and "obliterated" because he failed to show sufficient sorrow at the demise of Kim Jong Il.

NK is the only place that can make African news seem normal and tame.

"Our factory comrades say in jest,
Why they tell me I am a virgin on a stallion
After a full day's work I still have energy left
My skills are truly like lightening they say
They say I am a virgin on a stallion
Yet again today I was the first to leave for work
Apparently my name was in the paper"

Sounds like her song was toeing the party line... work, pleb!

The 12 who were executed were singers, musicians or dancers with the Hyon's band,, the Unhasu Orchestra or the Wanghaesan Light Music Band and were accused of making videos of themselves performing sex acts and then selling the recordings.

The reports stated that both groups have been disbanded as a result of the scandal.

Some of the musicians were also found to have bibles when they were detained and all were treated as political dissidents.



I suspect there is something else going on here.

Kim's wife, Ri Sol-ju, was also a member of the Unhasu Orchestra before marriage and one theory is that Ri objected to the continuing high profile of her husband's former girlfriend.

Watch the video then look at the picture near the bottom in the report AZ linked to.  They were executed for making a crappy 1970's music video and then ripping off Disney (Mickey and Minnie in the lower left hand corner and a still from one of the princess movies as the backdrop).  Clearly using capitalistic, running dog,  American images.   Death to them all !!!

Oh, and I'm sure some of the women said mean things about Ri before she and Kim became an item.  Payback bitches !!!

Being a singer in a Nork Band/Orchestra:  Enough food to live.
Marrying the leader of North Korea:  Great food and lots of it.
Killing off your hubby's old girlfriends:  Priceless.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.
