#1 I'm sure this makes perfect sense in Korean.

#2 Sounds to me like a "Truth and Reconciliation" kind of scheme, ala South Africa and various places in South America. The phrase liquidation of the past sounds appropriately Orwellian though.

#3 sounds like there's a liquidation sale going on, on past models of the past. They've got next years' models of the past coming on the lot and there's no place to put 'em. They're BLOWING THEM OUT! Get Juche now!

#4 It sounds as though they are going to convert the past into cash assets. A neat trick, that. Probably trying to take advantage of the post-election jump in stocks.

#6 What was the name of the first Chinese Emperor? The one who burned all the books, so that he would be the beginning of all knowledge? Sounds like the Norks are getting just as crazy to me...

#7 Yeah, ya don't want an improper liquidation of the past. That could get messy.

#9 If you liquidate the past, do you remember that you liquidated the past, or do reliquidate the past again because you liquidated the memory of liquidating the past in the past? Just asking.
