| ...but not lately. Pyongyang, April 18 (KCNA) -- President Kim Il Sung has been presented 166,220 pieces of gifts, orders, medals and honorable titles and certificates by party, state and government heads, dignitaries, political parties and organizations in more than 170 countries and regions, international organizations, groups for the study of the Juche idea and overseas and south Koreans since the liberation of the country. Lovely parting gifts...Whadda we have for Mr. Il Sung, Johnny? Of them are a latest bulletproof car from Stalin, leader of the former Soviet Union, in October Juche 39 (1950), an art work depicting the President in a military uniform from Vietnamese president Ho Chi Minh in October 1956 and a phonograph from Chinese premier Zhou Enlai in November 1958. Wow. Top shelf stuff. Although the Commiemobile from Uncle Joe was a nice touch. And Zhou did send him about a million Chinese earlier in the fifties. Probably figured all he rated after that was a record player... The gifts also include a large craftwork "Native Home in Mangyongdae" made with ivory sent by the Central Committee of Communist Party of China on the occasion of the 65th birth anniversary of the President and various gifts from president of the State Council of Cuba Fidel Castro Ruz, Egyptian president Muhammad Hosni Mubarak, Great King of Cambodia Norodom Sihanouk, former president of the United States Jimmy Carter. ...who also sent along his autographed kneepads. President Kim Il Sung received more than 77,580 pieces of gifts in 1982 alone, the year of his 70th birth anniversary. Oh, great. Another flower basket. How'd ya know? More than 420 delegations from over 130 countries visited the DPRK on the occasion of his 80th birthday, carrying with them over 1,390 pieces of gifts, congratulatory banners and flower baskets to be presented to him. The flower shop's closed? Shit. Somebody get a sharpie and a roll of toilet paper... Even after his demise, a beeswax statue of the benevolent Kim Il Sung was sent by the Chinese people and glass craftwork "Sun" and fur and leather craftworks "Sun" and "Red Sun" were sent respectively by the Swiss Committee for Supporting the Independent and Peaceful Reunification of Korea, the doctoral institute of National University of Callao of Peru and the general secretary of the World Peace Federation. Well, we know he's dead, but what the hell are we gonna do with a beeswax statue of Kim Il Sung? The President was awarded top orders, medals and honorable titles from more than 70 countries and regions of the world and international organizations. Wow. Another "Fourth Greatest Commie Dictator" t-shirt. Ya shouldn't have... This year, the chairman of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Bangladesh, the Swiss Committee for Supporting the Independent and Peaceful Reunification of Korea and the Left Bloc of Austrian Trade Union Federation presented gifts and the Guidance Council of the Federation of Peace and Friendship Organizations of Mongolia awarded "Gold Star of Peace," the highest order of the council, to the President. Do they know he's dead? It was in all the papers.... |

| #3 STRATEGYPAGE/CHINA NEWS > between 40% to under 70% of North Koreans whom fled over borders into China & Russia STILL MOSTLY UN-EMPLOYED. Damn. Seems that Chinese have rather a creative approach to statistics. It says that there are between 1/3 to more than 2/3 NKors unemployed in China. That really narrows it down, duznit? |
