A searchable database of North Korean propaganda. This site contains nearly every article published on the KCNA's website, in English and Spanish, since Dec 2, 1996--over 50 MB of hard-core Stalinist propaganda! And each article written in that unique and indelible style of the KCNA.

I've always had a morbid fasciation with North Korea; people like to use the term "Orwellian" to describe government policy, but nowehere on Earth-- not even the USSR when it was still Soviet-- even comes close to being the sort of wildly fucked-up and often unintentionally comic/ironic that George could've dreamt up like North Korea.
I have a nice, lengthy selection of photo galleries and travelogues from folks who've visited the hermetic kingdom of The Dear Leader, found here --> LINK (http://www.stat.ualberta.ca/people/schmu/nk.html)

Not content to let Western democracies corner the market on outrage over nation-splitting concrete walls, North Korea has angrily demanded for years that South Korea tear down a 240 km, 10 m high concrete wall that transverses the entire width of the Korean peninsula, running just below the DMZ. This demand would be exceedingly difficult for South Korea to meet, however, for the following reasons.
1. Dissembling the wall would take quite a bit of time
2. It would cost a lot of money
3. It would remove a deterant against a North Korean invasion
4. The wall doesn’t really exist
Of these, I happen to think that point #4 is the biggest obstacle, though no doubt others would disagree. The phantom wall was not-built in 1979, is 10-19 metres un-wide at bottom, 3-7 metres un-wide on the top--but why bore you with the stats, when you can read them for yourself?

Schlep - you posted another NK link on here some sort of months ago - i think it was from a British guy - if you know what I am talking about can you repost it?
I thought I saved the link but I didn't and I did a search for it and can't find it on woxy.com
thanks!
If I posted it, it's probably from the laundry list of links I posted above. Not sure of the specific one you refer to, unfortunately.
