KCNA on False Report of Amnesty International
2004-03-10
Amnesty International in a recent report titled "poverty of right, human rights and shortage of food in DPRK" pulled up the DPRK. In the report it claimed that the north Korean government is not performing its duty for protecting the right of inhabitants to food. It went to the lengths of setting forth a "recommendation". In a word, the report is a product of the anti-DPRK political smear campaign totally ignoring the human rights situation in the DPRK and it is full of lies.
"Yes, lies! All LIES!"
It is a disgusting misbehavior that Amnesty International said this or that about the human rights in the DPRK as it pleased as if it were an international "judge of human rights".
Ummm... That’s the way they make their money, isn’t it?
It is a well-known fact that in recent years the Korean people have suffered from the shortage of food owing to the evermore undisguised U.S. sanctions and blockade and natural disasters.
"So, y’see? It ain’t our incompetence and ineptitude, it’s them Merkins!"
The U.S. has escalated economic sanctions against the DPRK in the air, on the sea and in other various aspects and worked hard to isolate and stifle the DPRK, obstructing regular cooperation with international organizations. All the Korean people are leading a happy life and enjoying true rights and freedom on an equal footing under the Korean-style socialist system centering on the popular masses, though.
"Everything he’s fine. Uhhh... How are you?"
Shunning the hard fact, the Amnesty International talked about the "right to food," "discriminative treatment" and "lack of transparency" in the DPRK. This shows that it has become a henchman and a political mouthpiece of the U.S., abandoning its impartiality and principle.
"Yes, HENCHMEN, by Gawd! Running dogs! (Mmmm! Dog! My favorite!... Uhhh... Where was I?... Oh, yes...) Lackeys of hegemonism! Lickspittles to international Imperialism™ ...
As we have already said several times, its loudmouthed "lack of transparency" in cooperation is a folly of some dishonest forces including the U.S. that are trying to block humanitarian aid of the international community to the DPRK. To be sure, the report is meant to tarnish the image of the DPRK in the international arena according to the U.S. moves to stifle the DPRK and fan up the U.S. unilateral acts. If the Amnesty International wants to try human rights properly, it should bring to justice the U.S., the principal criminal of mass killings, the worst violator of the right to existence and a source of the extra-large human rights abuses. The U.S. invaded Afghanistan and Iraq by force of arms for the sake of its national aim and interests and unhesitatingly dropped bombs on even peaceable inhabitants and children in all parts of the world. If the Amnesty International is truly interested in human rights and wants to perform its function properly, it should call into question such illegal Iraqi war provoked by the U.S. and its mass killings of civilians before anything else and call it to account in view of international law.

#11  Socialism softens the mind badly. How do they expect to fight us militarily when they can't even effectively hit an easy target like AI with rhetoric. They should have done it right or left it alone. Their laughably worded criticism will just draw attention to a report that the left-wing international media would have refused to cover anyway.
As a demonstration of the futility of matching Western intellect, please forward to Koreans this more effective rant against AI hastily created around midnight by a sleep-deprived math major that graduated with a very low GPA.

Like Amnesty International I am concerned that innocent people are being detained in Guantanemo Bay. Unlike AI, I expect that the US military has a pretty good idea of which guys are truly dangerous. I am doubtful that the Donald Rumsfeld has any interest in running a Caribbean Bed & Breakfast for all the world's vagrants that stumble into Afghanistan and Pakistan. For goodness sakes, if word got about the way these detainees are being treated millions of citizens from Haiti, North Korea and Zimbabwe will be home-tattooing UBL's and ''AQ member on their upper shoulders, hijack available dugout canoe and paddle towards the nearest detachment of the US military (which may be the South Pole in some cases.)

As for the rights of the incarcerated terrorists, I suggest that AI, could found a group home named Hug House that Amnesty members could live in with the freed suspected terrorists that are the beneficiaries of such vehement lobbying. That way the very presence of their wonderful rehabilitated perpetrators would remind them daily of the wonderful mercy they have achieved in the thankful jihadis interest.

My plan should fulfill the ultimate fantasies of Amnesty's twisted constituency. What AI pretends not to understand is that Rumsfelt has already released a large number of the incompetent cannon-fodder to rejoin their jihadi brethren in an operation. I suspect that Myers and Pace have ironically dubbed this operation " Bag less Mulcher.'' This will leave only the most hardened criminals to populate Hug House.

#10  Nah, Amnesia International's got it all wrong. The Norkies are just doing their part in fighting this worldwide obesity epidemic I keep reading about... and they're doing a damn fine job.

#5  This is crap! Where are they finding these guys? - my 3 month old can do better! I give it only a 2.1 on the spittle scale (and only because I am feeling generous today). No Sea of Fire, No Judice, no Dear Leader the Guardian of the Planet...

A miserable humiliating failure!

BAH! LOSERS! The North Koreans have lost their touch!

#4  No "sea of fire." No "might of single-hearted unity." No "juche idea" anywhere. I wouldn't give it over a 3.5.
