You . . . you are the crowd who walk past laughing on the road; and there are a few of us, escaped victims or eyewitnesses of the things which happen in the thicket and who, haunted by our memories, go on screaming on the wireless, yelling at you in newspapers and in public meetings, theaters and cinemas. . . . You shake yourselves like puppies who have got their fur wet, . . . and you walk on, protected...

Allow me to persecute Mary Robinson just once more. Note her use of the word “was,” and is “this was not a legitimate war,” which gets me to where I’m going next– away from distractions and non-sequiturs like the significance of who we’re fighting there now, the potential for Iraq to be torn to pieces by Persian and Turkish jackals, or for it to host an Al-Qaeda enclave in its west, within striking range of the world’s oils supply and...

No wonder South Korea’s leftist thugs are trying to shut down Radio Free NK (as the South Korean police seemingly do as little as possible about it). It has published what it purports to be pictures and video of North Korean border guards abusing a female prisoner. Obviously, there is no way to confirm the pictures’ authenticity, and I must admit to some skepticism that anyone would have dared to take video like this. Still, the treatment is relatively mild...

UPDATE: Looks like I was wrong. It appears to be the act of a lone drunk who opted for the Workers’ Paradise. That’s going to be some hangover. ORIGINAL POST: The Chosun Ilbo calls it a defection, but without knowing more than what’s in the article, I’d say a more likely theory is that some North Korean infiltrators were on their way home. South Korean coastal border guards fired some 20 warning shots from a 60 mm mortar, 106 mm...

NK Gulag may have better info about life inside North Korea than any other NGO or media organization. They have sent me some interesting updates on goings-on inside the Land of Oz. First, they discuss recent reports that the Nork border guards have built up the fences along the border, and even added tiger traps: North Korea recently ordered the construction of a two-meter high wooden fence along 393 kilometers of its border with China. This area is largely mountainous...

Like many of you, I have been puzzled at the selective outrage of OhMyNews, Hankyoreh, and other lefist / anti-American media in Korea about Iraqi prisoners forced to wear leashes and panties, a matter which I hope to put in its proper context, not to downplay. At the same time, those “news” sources seldom or never mention the 4 million North Koreans currently living on the brink of starvation, the 2 million already culled through engineered famine, the uncounted scores...

Hundreds of thousands of enraged South Koreans did not turn out for a politically charged cande light vigil in front of the Chinese Embassy in Seoul today. The non-rally did not follow a report that Chinese border guards shot a North Korean refugee dead while trying to cross into Mongolia and seek asylum. Twelve other refugees were arrested and are expected to be deported to North Korea, where they face almost certain death in concentration camps. The non-protesters also did...
