North Koreans Reportedly Turn to Cannibalism Due to 'Hidden Famine'
2013-01-28
News out of North Korean in notorious unreliable, but food shortages in the country have gotten so bad and people so desperate that there are now reports of men murdering their own children for food. These startling reports were compiled by independent reporters commissioned by Asia Press, a independent press agency focusing on Asia, and were published by the Sunday Times. And here's one of the most disturbing thing you'll read this morning:

The source said: "While his wife was away on business he killed his eldest daughter and, because his son saw what he had done, he killed his son as well. When the wife came home, he offered her food, saying: 'We have meat.'

"But his wife, suspicious, notified the Ministry of Public Security, which led to the discovery of part of their children's bodies under the eaves."

#8  This sounds less legit than the Iran nuke plant explosion, so I guess it may be more.

#7  枪杆子里面出政权

"Every Communist must grasp the truth: Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun."

The solution to this problem is ... guns.

There are only 25 some millions of Norks. Someone could easily make and distribute 25 million of these guns (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deer_gun) for $100 million.

#1  From prior reports the Chinese across the border have taken to keeping recently deceased above ground, until they are no longer 'fresh', before burial. Seems the NK's had been crossing the border and digging them up. This was reported about six months ago.
