| N. Korea Uses Internet! Is Rebuke from UN Far Behind? | |
| 2003-12-12 | |
| The meat of the report: "Indeed, Pyongyang is using [information technology] to indoctrinate the public and put its propaganda before foreign audiences," the report states. "In addition to studying the party line through regular group reading of [government-run] Rodong Sinmun in hard copy, a practice for indoctrinating members of work units throughout North Korea, the installation of computer networks now brings the newspaper to some workplaces on line." North Korea also has put its propaganda on the Internet through outlets such as the official Korean Central News Agency web site and an Internet site run by North Korean residents in Japan. Pyongyang also has placed two official newspapers, the Minju Choson and Nodong Sinmun, on websites that originate in China. I’m a-bettin’ that North Korea falls as soon as someone figures out how to download porn without getting caught.

| #2 The people most likely to blogs are also the poeple who don't even have electricity. I just found the actual article amusing because of its headline. Here Rantburg has been mining North Korea's Internet sites for punchlines forLord knows how long, and "US Intelligence" is only now discovering the fact? Yeesh! |

| #1 Is the the internet or simply Kimmienet? Meaning of course does anyone in North Korea besides party 'leaders' and Kimmie-boy have access to non-NK sites? How about the regular 'average joe'? Any North Korea residents out there reading Rantburg? Are there any North Korean resident (non-propaganda) blogs around? That would be cool. |
