Honorary President of Socialist International Pays Homage to Kim Il Sung
2006-05-01
Pyongyang, April 30 (KCNA) -- Honorary President of Socialist International Guy Spitaels, former president of the Belgian Socialist Party (Wallon), and his party visited the Kumsusan Memorial Palace on Sunday to pay homage to President Kim Il Sung. They made deep bows to the President who lies in state with humble reverence for him who dedicated all his life to the prosperity of the country and the happiness of the people and made an immortal contribution to the human cause of independence. Then, the visitors went round with deep emotion the orders and medals and certificates of honorary titles awarded to him in the DPRK and other countries, the Mourning Hall and a train coach and a car he used. The honorary president made an entry in the visitor's book.
He's dead, Jim.

#9  former president of the Belgian Socialist Party (Wallon)

Of course the Belgians would have two Socialist Parties -- the French (Wallon), and the Flemish (Vlaams). The Wallon for the aristocracy, the Vlaams for the real peasants and workers. The 10% of Belgians who are German probably are too busy being grateful they aren't part of Germany that they don't have any Socialists at all.

#8  SPITAELS > "Great Comrade Kim, thank you for you and your father's many decades of pretending to yourselves and before your people that China doesn't control your country. We humbly hope one day to be as poor, as hungry, and as legally enalved but un-annexed by China as your people are in good Socialism". NOTHING SHOWS THE SUCCESS OF CENTRAL STATE PLANNING THAN ENGINEERS AND BUREAUCRATS WHOM DON'T KNOW, OR DON'T WANNA KNOW, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MILKING A COW vs A HOSS, BETWEEN FOOD AND GRASS.

#7  Guy Spitaels? I would check him and his party really closely for hard drugs and counterfit money when they return.
