Alex Jones (video 12.21.11) w North Korea's Moon now eclipsed
2011-12-21 16:18:00 First let me express sincere condolences to the good people of North Korea who are in mourning for the loss on December 17, 2011 of Kim Jong Il, their 'Dear Leader'.He was a complex man and the people's sense of loss must be overwhelming even for those whose state-imposed displays of bereavement are acts of self-preservation and habit more than of deep grief for one difficult man. The North Korean people's already perilous conditions and the crossroads which the passing of the Communist-monarchical mantle presents them brings tremendous collective anxieties; plus, the suddenness of such a tragic event adds much intensity to their emotional shock as The Masses face life without the familiar father figure they've come to know (only too well, as some might say.)2011 North Korea: a People Eclipsed by a 'Peculiar Turn of Events'A momentous event was promised for the North Korean people by the 'peculiar turn of events' November 25, 2011 Solar Eclipse @ 2Sag37 which 'eclipsed' N...

4chan (Attempts To) Send Justin Bieber to North Korea
2010-07-07 16:28:00 Anonymous has spoken. Even though I am decidedly not a Justin Bieber fan, I've blogged about him on several occasions in the past. In January of this year, before this blog existed, I blogged on RedEye Royalty about how I didn't even know who he was. In May, after the Internets unfortunately provided me with knowledge I didn't want to know I discovered a tool that could censor him from the web, much to my joy. I felt my days of writing about a flash-in-the-pan sensation with a frighteningly rabid fan base were over. (And no, I'm not talking about Twilight.) But I have returned to the topic. And for good reason. Sometime last month, Bieber's camp decided to come...

Same Again In Shanghai
2008-09-13 10:36:00 There was no Shanghai Surprise. The only surprise was that some thought it was going to be any different. It could have been worse though, that was the one consolation for the few South Korean fans who, late Wednesday evening, had sat through a typically turgid Korean Derby. 1-1 was the score between the near neighbors in their 2010 World Cup qualification match in China.There were less than 1,000 fans present in Shanghai's Hongkou Stadium - a far cry from the 25,000 plus that watched March's match. Apart from the loss of the novelty factor as well as the will to live, the main reason for the difference in the fact that North Korea hiked ticket prices by around 500% for the cheapest tickets -the 'hosts'(the game had been moved from Pyongyang to Shanghai after communist authorities in North Korea refused to fly the southern flag and play the anthem) didn't want their fans to be as heavily outnumbered as before.The tie was the fourth straight stalemate between the two rivals in 2...
